[0030] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] Combination Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a washing device 100 includes: a base 10, a cover plate 20, and a baffle 30. The base 10 is provided with a water collection tank 11 and an air outlet 101, wherein the water collection tank 11 can be used to store water. The cover plate 20 covers the base 10 and forms a cavity between the cover plate 20 and the base 10. The air outlet 101 communicates with the cavity. The cover plate 20 is provided with a vent 201 and a return port 202. Thus, airflow can enter the cavity through the air outlet 101 and be sent out from the cover plate 20 through the vent 201. Washing water can return to the water collection tank 11 through the return port 202 to facilitate the recycling or reuse of washing water.

[0032] Furthermore, the baffle 30 is connected to the cavity and covers the air outlet 101. The upper edge of the air outlet 101 is not lower than the upper surface of the baffle 30, and the baffle 30 is higher than the inner bottom surface of the base 10. The baffle 30 can act as a water barrier or isolator around the air outlet 101. Specifically, when the washing equipment 100 is working, the washing water enters the cavity from the return port 202 and flows to the inner bottom surface, which may leave some washing water on the inner bottom surface. To prevent the washing water from entering the air outlet 101, which is also located on the base 10, the baffle 30 is provided around the air outlet 101. The baffle 30 can prevent the washing water from splashing and entering the air outlet 101 during the return flow; it can also use the adsorption property of water to limit the water level fluctuation near the air outlet 101 to near the height of the baffle 30, thereby preventing water from entering the air outlet 101. In addition, within the cavity, airflow can converge between the baffle 30 and the cover plate 20. When the washing equipment 100 is in the drying or baking stage, the airflow blown out from the air outlet 101 can converge between the baffle 30 and the cover plate 20, and then send a large amount of gas to the washing equipment through the vent 201 on the cover plate 20 to improve the drying or baking effect.

[0033] According to the washing device 100 of the present invention, by providing a baffle 30 around the air outlet 101 and limiting the height of the baffle 30 to a certain range, water can be prevented from entering the air outlet 101, thereby improving the safety of the module and having a simple structure that helps reduce costs.

[0034] Combination Figure 6 Optionally, the base 10 is provided with annular ribs 12, the inner side of which forms an air outlet 101. The baffle 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the annular ribs 12, that is, the annular ribs 12 can form an air outlet channel at the air outlet 101, thereby playing a guiding role and improving the air supply efficiency.

[0035] Alternatively, the air outlet 101 can also be directly constructed as an upward-extending air outlet channel to facilitate the collection of airflow and the delivery of airflow to the cover plate 20.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 Optionally, the baffle 30 is provided with a matching rib 34, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the annular rib 12, which can improve the tightness of the connection between the baffle 30 and the air outlet 101 and improve the water blocking effect.

[0037] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3Optionally, the upper and lower ends of the mating rib 34 extend upwards and downwards from the surface of the baffle 30, respectively. In this way, below the baffle 30, the lower end of the mating rib 34, in conjunction with the annular rib 12, can effectively block water and guide air; above the baffle 30, the upper end of the mating rib 34 can form a gap with the lower surface of the cover plate 20, facilitating airflow between the baffle 30 and the cover plate 20, and allowing airflow to enter the cleaning chamber through the multiple vents 201 on the cover plate 20, thereby improving the air intake effect. Furthermore, the lower end of the mating rib 34 extends downwards from the baffle 30, meaning the lower end of the mating rib 34 can support the baffle 30 between the baffle 30 and the air outlet 101, limiting the height of the baffle 30 and further preventing water in the base 10 from crossing the baffle 30 and entering the air outlet 101, thus improving safety.

[0038] Combination Figure 2 Optionally, the baffle 30 includes a plate portion 31 and a plurality of first supports 33. The plurality of first supports 33 are connected to the plate portion 31 and supported on the base 10, so that there is a gap between the baffle 30 and the base 10. Specifically, the plate portion 31 can limit water level fluctuations when the water level in the base 10 is high. The baffle 30 is provided with a plurality of first supports 33 that protrude downward and are supported on the base 10. In practical applications, when the plate portion 31 is quadrilateral, the first supports 33 can be set at the four corners of the plate portion 31, so that there is a gap between the baffle 30 and the base 10, and the structural stability can also be improved.

[0039] Optionally, the baffle may also be provided with a first surrounding plate 32 and a first reinforcing rib 36. The first surrounding plate 32 extends downward, and the plate portion 31 and the first surrounding plate 32 form an open cavity, creating an accommodating space. This also provides support for the plate portion 31 in the vertical direction, improving the stability of the baffle 30 assembly. The first reinforcing rib 36 protrudes downward from the first surrounding plate 32 and supports the base 10. Multiple first reinforcing ribs 36 can be provided, spaced apart along the periphery of the first surrounding plate 32. This way, due to the pressure of the airflow or water flow, the first reinforcing ribs 36 can increase the support strength, improve the stability of the baffle 30 installation, and simplify the structure of the baffle 30. Furthermore, the base 10 may be provided with mounting positions suitable for mates with the first reinforcing ribs 36 to improve assembly efficiency and structural stability.

[0040] By providing the first support leg 33, a stable space can be created between the baffle 30 and the base 10, allowing water to collect within the base 10. This also ensures a certain gap between the baffle 30 and the base 10, allowing the baffle 30 to be higher than the water level during use, thus achieving a water-blocking effect. Furthermore, by providing the first reinforcing rib 36, steam can circulate around the baffle 30 when steam is generated, improving the cleaning effect on bottles and similar items.

[0041] Combination Figure 4 Optionally, the cover plate 20 includes a top plate 21 and multiple second supports 23. The multiple second supports 23 are connected to the top plate 21 and supported on the base 10, so that there is a gap between the cover plate 20 and the base 10. Specifically, the multiple second supports 23 facilitate the installation and positioning of the cover plate 20 and provide support for the top plate 21 to improve structural stability. During ventilation, steam or airflow can enter the cleaning chamber of the equipment through the gap between the top plate 21 and the second supports 23 and the vent 201, which facilitates the rapid filling of the cleaning chamber with steam and improves working efficiency. During cleaning, the washing water can drain through the gap to prevent water from remaining in the cleaning chamber. The gap connects to the cavity, allowing the washing water to flow back into the cavity and then be recycled into the water collection tank 11. In practical applications, when the top plate 21 is quadrilateral, the second supports 23 can be set at the four corners of the top plate 21 to improve structural stability.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 Optionally, the cover plate 20 may also be provided with a second surrounding plate 22, which is connected to the periphery of the top plate 21 and extends downward. The second surrounding plate 22 and the top plate 21 form a cavity with an opening. The baffle 30 is embedded inside the cover plate 20, which is beneficial for improving airflow and spatial arrangement. With the baffle 30 embedded inside the cover plate 20 and the second surrounding plate 22 extending downward, a collecting layer can be formed between the baffle 30 and the top plate 21. That is, the airflow from the air outlet 101 can be collected between the baffle 30 and the top plate 21, and then enter the washing equipment through multiple air vents 201 on the top plate 21, which is beneficial for improving the drying or baking effect.

[0043] Combination Figure 4 Optionally, the cover plate 20 is provided with a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 28 that protrude downward and are supported on the base 10. The plurality of second reinforcing ribs 28 are spaced apart along the periphery of the cover plate 20, so that there is a gap between the cover plate 20 and the base 10, which facilitates airflow and improves assembly stability. By setting the second enclosure plate 22, the baffle 30 and the cover plate 20 can be stably assembled, and the cavity can be easily constructed. In addition, the second support leg 23 can also meet the steam flow requirements when there is steam on the base.

[0044] Combination Figure 6 Optionally, the base 10 includes a base plate 13 and a third surrounding plate 14, the third surrounding plate 14 being connected to the periphery of the base plate 13 and extending upward. That is, the base 10 and the third surrounding plate 14 form an upward-opening cavity, and when the baffle 30 is installed above the base 10, a water flow collection layer can be formed between the baffle 30 and the base plate 13.

[0045] Combination Figure 1Optionally, the lower periphery of the cover plate 20 is embedded in the base 10. In this way, both the cover plate 20 and the baffle 30 are embedded in the third enclosure 14, which can improve the structural stability. When the cover plate 20 drains the washing water, the lower periphery of the cover plate 20 is surrounded by the third enclosure 14 to prevent water from extending outward. The returned washing water can flow into the water collection tank 11 through the bottom plate 13, which helps to improve the washing water recycling efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, the baffle 30 is not lower than the working water level inside the base 10, which facilitates improvement. The height of the baffle 30 is higher than the working water level on the base 10, which can effectively isolate water at the air outlet 101, preventing water from the base 10 from entering the air outlet 101 and improving the operational safety of the washing equipment 100. Specifically, utilizing the absorbent properties of water, the baffle 30 limits the water level fluctuation near the air outlet 101 to within the range of its height, thereby preventing water from entering the fan inlet.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 Optionally, the baffle 30 divides the cavity into upper and lower spaces. The air outlet 101 communicates with the upper space of the baffle 30, and the baffle 30 is provided with multiple through holes 203 connecting the upper and lower spaces of the baffle 30. Specifically, the baffle 30 separates the upper gas collection layer and the lower water collection layer in the cavity to separate water and gas in the washing equipment 100, which is beneficial to improve the cleaning effect and improve the safety of equipment operation. In practical applications, in the lower layer of the cavity, the bottom plate 13 can be provided with a water outlet 102 communicating with the water collection tank 11. Water is sent to the cleaning chamber of the equipment from the water outlet 102. The through holes 203 on the baffle 30 can be used to pass through water delivery pipes or spray arms and other components. When the washing water flows back to the water collection tank 11, the baffle 30 can limit the fluctuation of the water level to prevent water from entering the air outlet 101, and can separate the water from the upper gas, realizing gas-liquid separation. In addition, multiple through holes 203 may be provided on the top plate 21. The through holes 203 on the top plate 21 and the plate part 31 may be arranged in an up-down opposite form so that the water supply component or spray arm can pass through the cover plate 20.

[0048] It should be noted that, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 Multiple vents 201, return ports 202, through holes 203, and through holes 204 can be provided, and these holes can be of different sizes depending on the actual situation. Their arrangement can also be reasonably distributed according to the actual situation to improve the return or ventilation effect. For example, the through hole 203 can be set according to the size and position of the water supply component; the return port 202 can also be divided into a main return port and an auxiliary return port, etc., but the present invention is not limited to these.

[0049] In addition, the third enclosure plate 14 provided on the base 10 can also improve the stability of the cover plate 20 during installation.

[0050] Optionally, the upper surface of the top plate 21 can be constructed with an arc that is higher in the middle and lower around the edges to facilitate the outflow of washing water through the opening.

[0051] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 Optionally, at least one of the inner top surface of the cover plate 20, the upper surface of the baffle 30, and the lower surface of the baffle 30 is provided with a partition rib 24. The partition rib 24 is annular and has a through hole 204 formed on its inner side. The partition rib 24 can play a supporting role, which can improve the stability of the connection between the baffle 30 and the cover plate 20 and the connection between the baffle 30 and the base 10, and help improve the overall stability of the module. More specifically, multiple partition ribs 24 can be provided on the lower surface of the top plate 21 and the plate part 31 respectively. In addition, the partition rib 24 and the through hole 204 can be integrated into one unit, which can not only realize the functions of ventilation and support, but also simplify the structure of the cover plate 20.

[0052] Combination Figure 3 Optionally, the lower surface of the baffle 30 may also be provided with multiple support columns 35 to improve the support and positioning effect and enhance the stability of the baffle 30.

[0053] Combination Figure 6 Optionally, a guide channel is formed on the inner bottom surface of the base 10, and the inner bottom surface of the guide channel is configured to slope downward in the direction toward the water collection tank 11. This facilitates the return of the washing water to the water collection tank 11, improves the washing water recovery rate, and prevents washing water from entering the air outlet 101, thereby improving the safety of equipment operation.

[0054] Optionally, a boss 15 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the guide channel, and the air outlet 101 is located on the boss 15. A predetermined gap is separated between the boss 15 and the inner circumferential surface of the guide channel. The boss 15 can form a height difference with the water collection tank 11 on the inner bottom surface, which helps to increase the height between the air outlet 101 and the water collection tank 11, and can effectively prevent washing water from entering the air outlet 101. In addition, the guide channel and the boss 15 form a concave-convex structure on the inner bottom surface, which helps to improve the structural strength of the base 10 and avoid stress concentration.

[0055] Combination Figure 4 Optionally, the cover plate 20 is provided with a positioning rib 25, and a vent 201 is formed on the inner side of the positioning rib 25. The positioning rib 25 can play a positioning or limiting role. When in use, the baby bottle to be cleaned can be placed on the positioning rib 25 to prevent the baby bottle from shaking too much during cleaning. When the equipment is in the soaking, sterilization or drying state, the vent 201 is located inside the baby bottle, which can improve the ventilation effect inside the baby bottle.

[0056] Specifically, the positioning rib 25 protrudes from the upper surface of the top plate 21, and the positioning rib 25 is configured to position the baby bottle and allow the vent 201 to connect to the internal space of the baby bottle. The positioning rib 25 facilitates the placement of the baby bottle and improves the stability of the bottle. During cleaning, the washing water in the cleaning chamber has a certain pressure, and the positioning rib 25 can limit the shaking of the baby bottle during cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The positioning rib 25 protrudes to a certain height on the upper surface of the cover plate 20, which can improve the limiting effect.

[0057] Optionally, the positioning rib 25 is configured as an arc extending in the direction surrounding the through hole 203, which facilitates the use of a water spray device to clean the bottle and is suitable for fitting and limiting the circular opening of the bottle, thereby improving structural stability. In the washing device 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottle can be fitted onto the positioning rib 25 to restrict bottle movement.

[0058] Optionally, the positioning rib 25 is configured as a ring strip and forms a vent 201, through which air can be introduced into the bottle to achieve wetting, sterilization, or drying effects. In other words, the vent 201 and the positioning rib 25 can be integrated into one unit, not only achieving ventilation and limiting functions but also simplifying the structure of the lid 20. Specifically, the positioning rib 25 can be positioned near the side wall of the bottle, allowing the vent 201 to directly supply high-temperature steam to the bottle wall to wet stains or sterilize the bottle wall. During drying, it can also quickly dry water droplets on the bottle wall, improving cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.

[0059] Optionally, multiple positioning ribs 25 can be provided on the top plate 21 to accommodate multiple bottles, enabling simultaneous washing of multiple bottles. Alternatively, the size and number of positioning ribs 25 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the washing equipment or the size of the bottles to improve practicality.

[0060] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the cover plate 20 is provided with a first rib 26, which protrudes from the upper surface of the cover plate 20 and forms a first air guide groove 206 on the lower surface of the cover plate 20. The first rib 26 is provided with an air vent 201 and a through hole 203. The through hole 203 can be used for water supply components to pass through, which facilitates the spray arm to pass through the through hole 203 and spray water for cleaning.

[0061] Specifically, the first rib 26 can form a first air guide groove 206, which plays a guiding role and facilitates the airflow to be discharged from the air vent 201. Furthermore, a through hole 203 is formed on the first rib 26 to facilitate the spray arm to pass through the cover plate 20 and improve the cleaning effect.

[0062] Optionally, the positioning rib 25 can be set on the first protruding rib 26, so that the bottle can be inserted upside down on the spray arm to spray water into the bottle for cleaning. The positioning rib 25 can play a positioning role, and the vent 201 constructed by the positioning rib 25 can allow air to pass into the bottle to achieve the effects of wetting, sterilization or drying.

[0063] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the cover plate 20 is provided with a second rib 27. The second rib 27 protrudes from the upper surface of the cover plate 20 and forms a second air guide groove 207 on the lower surface of the cover plate 20 to further improve the air guiding effect. The second rib 27 is arranged around the spray arm, which can support the bottle and create an air gap between the bottle mouth and the upper surface of the cover plate 20. Specifically, during washing, the bottle can be inserted into the spray arm and placed on the cover plate 20 with the bottle mouth facing down. The second rib 27 supports the bottle mouth between the bottle mouth and the upper surface of the cover plate 20, thus creating an air gap between the bottle mouth and the upper surface of the cover plate 20, which facilitates airflow. Alternatively, the second rib 27 protrudes upward to a certain height, creating a gap between the bottle and the upper surface of the cover plate 20, which can connect the space inside and outside the bottle, facilitating the return of washing water and the flow of steam or airflow, thereby improving the cleaning, sterilization, and drying effects.

[0064] Optionally, multiple second ribs 27 can be provided to improve the airflow guiding effect and air circulation effect. Alternatively, one end of multiple second ribs 27 can be connected to the vent 201 to improve the airflow guiding effect.

[0065] Combination Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the washing device 100 of the present invention, three second ribs 27 are spaced apart along the periphery of the first rib 26 to improve structural stability. The three second ribs 27 can form a triangular support structure to support the baby bottle and create an air gap between the bottle mouth and the upper surface of the cover plate, thus separating the bottle mouth from the upper surface of the cover plate 20 to form an air gap, which facilitates airflow. On the upper surface of the cover plate 20, the first rib 26 can be circular and the second rib 27 can be strip-shaped. On the lower surface of the cover plate 20, the first air guide groove 206 is circular and the second air guide groove 207 is strip-shaped. The first air guide groove 206 and the second air guide groove 207 are connected, and the airflow in the second air guide groove 207 can be guided to the first air guide groove 206. The airflow gathers in the first air guide groove 206 or below the vent 201 and is discharged from the vent 201, which helps to improve the airflow rate.

[0066] Combination Figure 4 Optionally, the cover plate 20 is provided with a plurality of vents 201 at intervals, and a portion of the plurality of vents 201 is configured to be inserted into the bottle to allow air to enter the bottle, while another portion of the plurality of vents 201 is configured to allow air to enter the bottle. In this way, the inner and outer walls of the bottle can be dried simultaneously, which helps to improve the cleaning effect.

[0067] In addition, it should be noted that the present invention is mainly described using a baby bottle as an example, but this is only to clearly and completely describe the technical solution to be protected by the present invention, and is not a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. The washing device 100 in the present invention can also be used to clean water cups, water bottles, etc.
