[0002] As people's living standards improve, their quality of life also increases, and they pay more and more attention to food hygiene, placing higher demands on the use and disinfection of tableware. Disinfection cabinets are now widely used in restaurants of all sizes and in home kitchens.

[0003] Existing disinfection cabinets in existing patents generally have the disinfection tube fixed inside the cabinet cavity, which is inconvenient to replace and repair. In addition, there are various types of disinfection tubes. However, disinfection cabinets with the disinfection tube fixed inside the cavity have a fixed range of disinfection operations that can be performed from the time of manufacture.

[0004] Furthermore, given that we are currently at a unique historical stage in the development of public health, there is a significant public demand for environmental disinfection. Current disinfection tubes, located inside the cabinet, are ineffective against the surrounding environment, such as the kitchen, and can only disinfect items placed inside the cabinet. Therefore, the public needs to purchase external environmental disinfection equipment separately, incurring substantial additional costs, which hinders the promotion of disinfection equipment and the advancement of public health. Summary of the Invention

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In the following description, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The following description provides multiple embodiments of this application, which can be substituted or combined with each other. Therefore, this application can also be considered to include all possible combinations of the same and / or different embodiments described. Thus, if one embodiment includes features A, B, and C, and another embodiment includes features B and D, then this application should also be considered to include embodiments containing one or more other possible combinations of A, B, C, and D, even if such embodiments are not explicitly described in the following text.

[0042] The following description provides examples and does not limit the scope, applicability, or examples set forth in the claims. Changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the described elements without departing from the scope of this application. Various processes or components may be appropriately omitted, substituted, or added to the examples. For example, the described methods may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. Furthermore, features described with respect to some examples may be combined into other examples.

[0043] First, this application provides a disinfection drawer assembly, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a drawer section 11 as the main body and a disinfection tube 12 installed on the drawer section 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the drawer section 11 is a rectangular frame with a drawer door panel 111 at its front end. A handle for pulling the sterilization drawer assembly is installed on the drawer door panel. Sliding members are provided on both sides of the drawer section. In this embodiment, the sliding members are two first slide rails 13 parallel to the side frames of the drawer section.

[0045] The drawer section has a central opening, and the disinfection tube is installed in the central opening, spanning both sides of the opening. The top and bottom of the central drawer section are also open, allowing the disinfection tube to simultaneously irradiate the top and bottom of the drawer section when activated.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the drawer section is a box-shaped structure with an opening on one side (top or bottom), and the disinfection tube placed in the empty area in the middle irradiates only either the top or bottom of the drawer section.

[0047] When the aforementioned disinfection drawer assembly is installed in a disinfection cabinet, the disinfection tube can be pulled out from inside the cabinet along with the drawer.

[0048] On the other hand, this application also provides an externally mounted disinfection cabinet, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet includes a cabinet body 2, which has a storage space for storing kitchen utensils and tableware. Three drawer assemblies slide into this storage space, filling it completely, and when stored in the storage space, they completely block the storage space from view from the front of the cabinet body.

[0049] Some of the drawer components are the aforementioned disinfection drawer component 1. In this embodiment, the topmost drawer component is the aforementioned disinfection drawer component 1.

[0050] On both sides of the inner side of the accommodating space of the cabinet 2, there are first guide rails 23 that cooperate with the first slide rail 13 in the disinfection drawer assembly 1. The first slide rail 13 and the first guide rail 23 cooperate to allow the disinfection drawer assembly 1 to be pulled out or inserted into the cabinet 2. When the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is pulled out of the cabinet 2, the disinfection tube 12 of the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is located outside the cabinet 2 and exposed to the outside of the accommodating space, so that the disinfection tube 12 can irradiate the surrounding environment outside the cabinet. In addition, the first slide rail 13 can be disengaged from the end of the first guide rail 23, so that the disinfection drawer assembly 1 can be pulled out of the cabinet 2 for replacement or cleaning.

[0051] The disinfection tube 12 in the disinfection drawer assembly 1 needs to maintain a certain electrical connection with the cabinet 2. Its electrical connection structure, such as a flexible wire, can be laid along the first slide rail 13 and the first guide rail 23.

[0052] Since the disinfection tube 12 can irradiate the environment outside the drawer, that is, exposed to the environment outside the disinfection drawer assembly 1, when the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is housed in the storage space, the disinfection tube 12 can directly irradiate the storage space to disinfect the kitchen utensils and tableware stored in the cabinet; when the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is pulled out, the disinfection tube 12 is exposed to the external environment along with the disinfection drawer assembly 1, so that it can directly irradiate the external environment and thus disinfect the environment outside the disinfection cabinet.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, as an improved solution, a matching hook-up part is installed on the inner side of the accommodating space of the disinfection drawer assembly 1 and the cabinet 2. When the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is pulled out and detached from the cabinet 2, that is, when the first slide rail 13 detaches from the end of the first guide rail 23, the hook-up part of the disinfection drawer assembly 1 and the cabinet 2 are matched, so that the disinfection drawer assembly 1 can be hooked onto the cabinet 2. Since the disinfection tube of the disinfection drawer assembly 1 can irradiate at least either above or below the disinfection drawer assembly 1, when the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is hooked onto the cabinet 2, the disinfection tube is away from the cabinet 2 and faces the external environment, irradiating the external environment.

[0054] Figure 3-5 The demonstration showed the disinfection drawer assembly 1 being pulled out of the cabinet 2 and hung at different angles. It can be seen that the connection between the disinfection drawer assembly 1 and the cabinet 2 can rotate, allowing the assembly to be hung at various angles. The disinfection tube 12 irradiates the exterior of the cabinet 2 in different directions depending on the angle at which the assembly is hung. When the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is hung vertically on the cabinet 2, the disinfection tube 12 can irradiate and disinfect a wide area of ​​the front of the cabinet 2.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned connecting part structure, such as Figure 6 As shown, the hook-on part is located below the end of the drawer portion 11 of the disinfection drawer assembly 1, forming a protruding ear 14. A second pulley 15 is installed on the back side of the ear 14. Correspondingly, a second guide rail 25 matching the second pulley 15 is also installed inside the accommodating space of the cabinet 2 (the rest of the cabinet 2 is in...). Figure 6 (Not shown in the image).

[0056] The second pulley 15 and the second guide rail 25 are positioned as follows: the second pulley 15 and the second guide rail 25 are on the same horizontal plane. When the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is housed in the cabinet 2, the second pulley 15 and the second guide rail 25 are spaced a certain distance apart. When the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is pulled out and the first guide rail 13 disengages from the end of the first guide rail 23, the second pulley 15 enters from one end of the second guide rail 25, thereby allowing the disinfection drawer assembly 1 and the cabinet 2 to be hooked together through the cooperation between the second pulley 15 and the second guide rail 25.

[0057] The end of the second guide rail 25 away from the second pulley 15 is sealed as an end limit 251. When the second pulley 15 slides into the second guide rail 25, the end limit 251 cannot move forward further to disengage from the second guide rail 25, thus causing the second pulley 15 to remain in the second guide rail 25.

[0058] When the second pulley 15 is engaged with the second guide rail 25, the disinfection drawer assembly 1 and the cabinet 2 are rotatably connected. The disinfection drawer assembly 1 can rotate about the axis of the second pulley, changing its angle to a vertical connection, thus disinfecting the external environment of the cabinet.

[0059] As an improvement, in some other embodiments of this application, casters are provided at the bottom of the cabinet 2, so that the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of this application can easily change the disinfection position and irradiation direction when disinfecting the external environment.

[0060] In the above-mentioned disinfection drawer assembly 1, the disinfection tube 12 may include at least one of ultraviolet tube and ozone tube, or may include devices with certain sterilization and disinfection capabilities such as quartz tube and infrared lamp tube.

[0061] Since the disinfection tube 12 of this application is very easy to replace, in order to further enhance this advantage, a detachable connection is used between the disinfection tube 12 and the drawer 11. In some embodiments, the disinfection tube 12 can be both fixed and electrically connected to the drawer 11 in a spiral installation similar to that of a light bulb. This design greatly facilitates the rapid replacement of the disinfection tube when it is necessary to change the type of disinfection tube or use different combinations of disinfection tubes.

[0062] When disinfecting the interior of the cabinet, the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of the above embodiment can change the number of different types of disinfection tubes installed, and disinfection can be carried out according to the type and number of disinfection tubes installed or activated. When disinfecting the external environment, the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of the above embodiment can perform ozone and ultraviolet disinfection simultaneously, resulting in more thorough disinfection of the room and a strong odor elimination function; while when only ultraviolet tubes are used for disinfection, the ozone tube is not turned on, no ozone is generated, and the ventilation requirements for environmental disinfection are reduced.

[0063] As an improvement, to enable the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of this application to have automatic control capabilities, in some embodiments, the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of this application is also equipped with a controller. The controller establishes a separate electrical connection with each disinfection tube 12, thereby allowing individual control of the opening and closing of each disinfection tube 12. This allows for selective opening of a certain disinfection tube, achieving a specific disinfection effect, even without changing the type and number of disinfection tubes 12.

[0064] As a further improvement, in some further embodiments, the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of this application is also equipped with a timer, which is electrically connected to the controller or directly set in the controller. The controller controls the opening and closing time of each disinfection tube 12 through the timing of the timer.

[0065] The above settings allow users to set the delayed start time of the disinfection tube 12 via a timer or by directly calling the timer through the controller. When the external disinfection cabinet of this application needs to be used to disinfect the external environment, setting the delayed start time allows users time to leave the ultraviolet irradiation area or ozone-filled area before the disinfection tube starts. Furthermore, the disinfection tube 12 can automatically shut off after a certain disinfection time, avoiding any potential harm to the user when the disinfection tube 12 is turned on.

[0066] As a further improvement, in some embodiments, the externally mounted disinfection cabinet of this application is also equipped with a human body sensor. The human body sensor can be a sensor with short-range sensing capability, including but not limited to infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, etc. The human body sensor is electrically connected to the controller. When the human body sensor detects a human body, pet, or object passing within its range, it sends a signal to the controller, which then closes the disinfection tube 12, or specifically closes the disinfection tube 12 that is harmful to the human body, to avoid the possibility of personal injury to someone passing by when the disinfection tube 12 is open.

[0067] In addition, a contact sensor is installed in the cabinet 2 to determine whether the disinfection drawer assembly 1 is in the storage position. The contact sensor can be an infrared sensor, an electric contact plate, a limit switch or other electronic components with contact detection function, and is connected to the controller to send the contact detection signal to the controller so that the controller can determine whether the disinfection drawer assembly is stored in the cabinet 2.

[0068] More specifically, the aforementioned controller may include one or more processing cores. The controller connects various parts within the electronic device using various interfaces and lines, performing various functions and processing data by running or executing instructions, programs, code sets, or instruction sets stored in memory, and by calling data stored in memory. Optionally, the controller may be implemented using at least one hardware form of DSP, FPGA, or PLA. The controller may integrate one or more of CPU, GPU, and modem. The CPU primarily handles the operating system, user interface, and applications; if a GPU is present, it is responsible for rendering and drawing the content required for display on the screen and other human-computer interaction interfaces.

[0069] The memory may include RAM or ROM. Optionally, the memory may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The memory may be used to store instructions, programs, code, code sets, or instruction sets. The memory may include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area may store instructions for implementing an operating system, instructions for at least one function (such as touch function, sound playback function, image playback function, etc.), instructions for implementing the above-described method embodiments, etc.; the data storage area may store data involved in the above-described method embodiments, etc. Optionally, the memory may also be at least one storage device located remotely from the aforementioned controller.

[0070] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide an environmental disinfection method using an externally mounted disinfection cabinet as described above. When this environmental disinfection method is started, the position of the disinfection drawer assembly is determined to determine whether it is housed in the cabinet's storage space or has been removed.

[0071] If the disinfection drawer assembly is housed within the cabinet's storage space, the built-in disinfection mode is activated, and the disinfection tube can be started immediately to irradiate for a preset disinfection duration.

[0072] If the disinfection drawer component has been pulled out, the external disinfection mode will be activated, and a preset delay will be waited for the user to leave the disinfection area before the disinfection tube is activated to irradiate for a preset disinfection time.

[0073] As an improvement, in some embodiments of this application, the environmental disinfection method using the aforementioned external disinfection cabinet can flexibly change the type of disinfection operation when in external disinfection mode. In external disinfection mode, the controller automatically reads the types of each currently installed disinfection tube and selectively turns on or off specific types of disinfection tubes according to the disinfection operation selected by the user. Ozone and ultraviolet disinfection can be performed simultaneously, resulting in more thorough room disinfection and a strong odor elimination function; alternatively, only ultraviolet tubes can be used for disinfection, with the ozone tubes not turned on, resulting in no ozone generation and reducing the ventilation requirements for environmental disinfection.

[0074] As another improvement, in some embodiments of this application, the environmental disinfection method using the above-mentioned external disinfection cabinet can also continuously monitor whether there are any human beings, pets or objects passing by when in external disinfection mode. If so, all disinfection tubes will be turned off, or certain disinfection tubes that are harmful to the human body will be selectively turned off.

[0075] It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, the foregoing method embodiments are all described as a series of actions. However, those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the described order of actions, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily essential to this application.

[0076] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
