Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of maternal and infant care, and in particular to a method, device and related equipment for cleaning and controlling baby bottles with full internal and external coverage. Background Technology
[0002] Baby bottles are special containers for feeding infants and toddlers, and their cleanliness directly affects their health. Cleaning baby bottles requires not only washing but also sterilization. Infants' immune systems are much weaker than adults', making it essential to clean and sterilize baby bottles separately from other kitchen utensils. However, currently, there are no readily available household appliances specifically designed for cleaning baby bottles.
[0003] Water heated to 100℃ turns into steam, which is then sprayed onto the bottle body, nipple, and cap. This high-temperature steam cleans the bottle while simultaneously sterilizing it, and contains no harmful ingredients, making it an ideal cleaning medium. Therefore, using steam to clean baby bottles is a research direction in the industry. The bottle cleaner heats water to produce steam via a steam generator, which is then sprayed onto the bottle placed inside the cavity via the upper and lower spray arms of the steam jet system. Under the action of the high-temperature steam, both cleaning and sterilization are achieved simultaneously, completing the cleaning of the baby bottle.
[0004] However, in the process of implementing this application, the inventors discovered that existing bottle cleaners have at least the following drawbacks, which limit their application:
[0005] It can only control a single spray pipe, and the spray area is too small. Due to the limited spray range, it can only cover the inner surface of the bottle and cannot cover all the areas inside and outside the bottle that need to be cleaned, resulting in cleaning dead spots, poor cleaning effect, and excessive cleaning time. If more nozzles are added to achieve full coverage, the water pressure will be too low, which will also result in poor cleaning effect and excessive cleaning time. Summary of the Invention
