It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0062] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may be practiced in other ways than those specifically described herein, and thus, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0063] Reference will now be made to Figures 1 to 12 describe a sterilization component 10 and a material storage device 20 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] Embodiment 1:

[0065] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a sterilization component 10, including: a housing 100, a xenon lamp module 106, and a circuit board 104.

[0066] Further, the housing 100 includes a wire trough 140 and an installation cavity 108. The wire trough 140 is used for installing a wire harness 120. The xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104 are disposed in the installation cavity 108, and the xenon lamp module 106 is connected to the circuit board 104.

[0067] The sterilization component 10 provided by the present invention includes: a housing 100, a xenon lamp module 106, and a circuit board 104. Among them, the housing 100 includes an installation cavity 108 and a wire trough 140. The wire trough 140 is used to accommodate the communication and power supply wire harnesses 120 of the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104. By disposing the wire harness 120 in the wire trough 140, the wiring of the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104, as well as the wire harness reserved for the connection between the sterilization component 10 and the outside, can be disposed in the wire trough 140, improving safety. At the same time, by disposing all the wire harnesses 120 in the wire trough 140, the layout of the components inside the housing 100 is more tidy. Further, the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104 are disposed in the installation cavity 108, and the xenon lamp module 106 is connected to the circuit board 104 through the wire harness 120. By providing an installation cavity 108 on the housing 100 for installing the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104, the protection of the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104 is realized, avoiding external leakage and damage, and further improving the installation convenience. The sterilization component 10 provided by the present application, through modular design of the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104, and all the components of the sterilization component 10 are installed in the installation cavity 108 of the housing 100 to form an independent module, so that the sterilization component 10 can be directly installed on any device that needs disinfection and sterilization, without the need for assembly during installation, thus greatly simplifying the installation process and improving the safety of use.

[0068] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the sterilization component 10 further includes: a cover body 102.

[0069] Specifically, the cover body 102 is covered on the opening of the installation cavity 108. The cover body 102 is covered on the installation cavity 108, and the cover body 102 is fixedly connected to the housing 100 to close the installation cavity 108. The circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106 in the installation cavity 108 are protected by the cover body 102 to prevent them from being knocked during installation and use and malfunctioning, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the sterilization component 10.

[0070] Specifically, the cover body 102 and the housing 100 can be connected by means of screws. A plurality of screw holes are provided on the cover body 102 and the housing 100, and the cover body 102 and the housing 100 are connected by screws through the screw holes. This connection method has a simple structure and reliable connection, and can effectively fix the cover body 102 and the housing 100.

[0071] Furthermore, the connection method between the cover body 102 and the housing 100 can also be a connection method in which a buckle and a slot cooperate with each other, with a simple structure and easy disassembly and installation.

[0072] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, a buckle 142 is provided on the wire trough 140. The buckle 142 is used to fix the wire harness 120 to prevent the wire harness 120 from falling off in the wire trough 140. On the one hand, it ensures the neatness of the wiring of the sterilization component 10, and on the other hand, it also avoids the wire harness 120 from getting messy and entangled, bringing unreliable and inconvenient problems to the assembly.

[0073] Specifically, a plurality of buckles 142 are evenly arranged in the wire trough 140, which can ensure that the wire harness 120 can be stably fixed in the wire trough 140 at any position in the housing 100, avoiding the wire harness 120 from getting messy and entangled, and thus ensuring the reliability and convenience of the assembly.

[0074] Embodiment 2:

[0075] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a sterilization component 10, which includes: a housing 100, a circuit board 104, and a xenon lamp module 106.

[0076] On the basis of the above embodiment, further, as Figure 1 shown, the sterilization component 10 further includes a first seal 110.

[0077] Specifically, the first seal 110 is disposed between the housing 100 and the cover 102. The cover 102 and the housing 100 form an installation cavity 108. By providing the first seal 110 between the housing 100 and the cover 102, the sealing performance of the installation cavity 108 is improved, such that the first seal 110, the housing 100, and the cover 102 form a sealed installation cavity 108. The sealed installation cavity 108 can effectively prevent the ingress of water vapor, thereby avoiding the occurrence of short circuit faults in the circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106 within the installation cavity 108 due to the intrusion of water vapor, and further ensuring the safety and stability of the operation of the sterilization assembly 10.

[0078] Specifically, the xenon lamp module 106 must be supplied with high voltage to trigger the operation of the xenon lamp, and the power supply module that provides the high voltage for the xenon lamp also needs to be installed near the xenon lamp module 106. Since the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104 are installed in an environment where condensation is likely to form, if sufficient reliable insulation protection is not provided, it is likely to cause safety accidents. Therefore, installing the xenon lamp module 106 and the circuit board 104 in the sealed installation cavity 108 can effectively block the ingress of water vapor, thereby protecting the safety of the operation of the sterilization assembly 10 and ensuring the safety of use by the user.

[0079] Furthermore, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the sterilization assembly 10 further includes a first wire outlet 114 and a second wire outlet 116.

[0080] Specifically, the first wire outlet 114 and the second wire outlet 116 are connected through a wire groove 140. The first wire outlet 114 and the second wire outlet 116 are used to provide ports for the communication and power supply harness 120 external to the sterilization assembly 10, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the sterilization assembly 10.

[0081] Specifically, the wire groove 140, the first wire outlet 114, and the second wire outlet 116 form a wire routing channel. On the one hand, it provides an installable space for the harness, preventing the harness from being exposed and damaged. On the other hand, by providing a wire passing channel, it facilitates the connection of the sterilization assembly 10 to external devices, realizes the modularization of the sterilization assembly 10, and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the sterilization assembly 10. Additionally, it can prevent the harness 120 from being placed messily in the housing 100, affecting the reliability of the operation of the sterilization assembly 10 and enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0082] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the sterilization assembly 10 further includes a wire passing port 118.

[0083] Specifically, the wire passing port 118 is disposed on the housing 100. The wire passing port 118 communicates the installation cavity 108 and the wire groove 140 and is used to guide the harness 120 to pass through.

[0084] In this embodiment, the wire passing opening 118 is formed in the cavity wall of the installation cavity 108. The wire harness 120 passes through the wire passing opening 118 and penetrates into the installation cavity 108 to connect the circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106, and then passes through the wire passing opening 118 to penetrate out of the installation cavity 108. The wire passing opening 118 is used to provide a port for the communication and power supply wire harness 120 of the circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106 in the installation cavity 108 to the outside, thereby ensuring the normal power supply and communication of the circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the sterilization component 10.

[0085] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the sterilization component 10 further includes a second seal 122.

[0086] Specifically, the second seal 122 is disposed at the wire passing opening 118 for sealing the wire passing opening 118.

[0087] In the embodiment, by providing the second seal 122 at the wire passing opening 118, the second seal 122 seals the wire passing opening 118, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the installation cavity 108, preventing water vapor from entering the sealed installation cavity 108 through the wire passing opening 118, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106 in the installation cavity 108, and avoiding failures caused by the circuit board 104 and the xenon lamp module 106 coming into contact with water vapor. Thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the sterilization component 10.

[0088] Specifically, the wire passing opening 118 can be provided in two, one is provided on one side of the first wire outlet 114, and the other is provided on one side of the second wire outlet 116. This can avoid the wire harness 120 from being wound in the housing 100, and facilitate the wire harness 120 to be directly incorporated into the wire passing groove 140 after passing through the installation cavity 108, thereby realizing the convenience of installation wiring.

[0154] The installation process of the sterilization assembly 10 and the cover plate 206 is as follows:

[0155] like Figure 9 As shown, the first connection portion and the wiring harness pass through the first installation opening 212. At this time, the crossbeam of the first installation opening 212 blocks the first limiting portion 126. At this time, the elastic member 130 is pressed, and the elastic member 130 drives the first limiting portion 126 to give way downward. The sterilization assembly 10 continues to be pushed forward until the first limiting portion 126 passes through the crossbeam, and the second connection portion also changes from the initial state of longitudinally overlapping with the second installation opening 214 to being laterally aligned with the second installation opening 214. Figure 10 ;

[0156] like Figure 10 As shown, the sterilization assembly 10 is pushed in the reverse direction. At this time, the first limiting portion 126 is subjected to force, and the elastic member 130 is deformed downward, and the first limiting portion 126 passes through the beam of the first installation opening 212 in the reverse direction until the elastic member 130 is restored to its original state.

The elastic member 130 drives the first limiting portion 126 to yield downward, and the sterilization component 10 is pushed along the Figure 9 arrow direction shown in the figure until the first limiting portion 126 passes through the first mounting portion. The second wire outlet 116 also changes from the initial state of being longitudinally overlapped with the second mounting opening 214 to being horizontally aligned with the second mounting opening. As Figure 10 shown in the figure, at this time, the sterilization component 10 is pushed along the Figure 9 arrow direction. Under the action of force on the first limiting portion 126, the elastic member 130 deforms downward, and the first limiting portion 126 reversely passes through the first mounting opening 212 until the elastic member 130 returns to its original state, and the first limiting portion 126 can be fixed on the first mounting portion, thereby realizing the suspension installation of the sterilization component 10 on the cover plate 206 without screws.

[0163] Further, the control panel 216 is arranged outside the storage cavity 204, so that the operation of the control panel 216 can be realized when opening the refrigerator door, and further, the operation of the sterilization component 10 can be controlled more conveniently, thereby bringing a more convenient operation experience to the user.
