Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to disinfection equipment, in particular to a disinfection cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Disinfection cabinets have become one of the indispensable household appliances in daily family life. With the improvement of living standards, disinfection cabinets have become increasingly perfect. Steam disinfection refers to a method of using high-temperature steam to eliminate bacteria or microorganisms. Due to the strong penetrability of pure steam, proteins and protoplasm colloids are easily denatured and coagulated under hot and humid conditions. Steam enters the cells and condenses into water, which can release potential heat, increase the temperature, and enhance the bactericidal power.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent "A Steam Sterilizer" with patent number 202122327449.7 (authorization announcement number CN216294742U) discloses a steam sterilizer, comprising an outer shell, an inner liner arranged in the outer shell, and a water inlet box, a water pump, a steam generator, and a steam nozzle arranged between the outer shell and the inner liner. The water inlet end of the water pump is connected to the inner cavity of the water inlet box, the water inlet end of the steam generator is connected to the water outlet end of the water pump, and the first steam outlet end and the second steam outlet end of the steam generator are respectively connected to the steam inlet of the inner liner and the steam inlet end of the steam nozzle. The steam sterilizer has both the function of steam sterilization inside the cabinet and the function of external steam cleaning. However, when implementing external steam cleaning, the steam sterilizer can only sterilize externally through the steam nozzle, and the spraying area is small and requires manual hand-holding. There is no way to simply and conveniently sterilize the space outside the sterilizer. Summary of the Invention
