Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a disinfection cabinet. BACKGROUND

[0002] The disinfection cabinet is provided with a heating element to heat and dry the tableware in the cavity of the disinfection cabinet, and disinfect and sterilize by the disinfection lamp. At present, the heating element is mostly arranged inside the tank body, and a protective cover is arranged on the outer periphery of the heating element to avoid direct collision of the tableware with the heating element, considering the protection of the heating element. However, due to the arrangement of the protective cover, the heat diffusion of the heating element is affected, resulting in the loss of part of the heat. Moreover, the tableware left in the disinfection cabinet has residual moisture, which can be dried by the heating structure in the disinfection cabinet, but long-term use will still accumulate some water vapor, resulting in problems such as dampness and mildew of the disinfection cabinet. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a disinfection cabinet which can not only improve the protection of the heating structure, but also satisfy the drying of tableware and improve the problems such as dampness and mildew of the disinfection cabinet during long-term use.

[0004] A disinfection cabinet comprises a cabinet body with a cabinet bottom wall and a tank body installed on the cabinet body and having a tank bottom wall, a fitting space is formed between the cabinet bottom wall and the tank bottom wall, and the tank bottom wall is configured with a diffusion port communicating with the fitting space and a tank cavity; the disinfection cabinet further comprises a heating structure and a protective cover, the heating structure is installed in the fitting space, and the protective cover is rotatably connected to the heating structure, and the protective cover has a first position and a second position.

[0005] In the first position, the protective cover blocks the diffusion port to block the fitting space and the tank cavity, and the heating structure is used to dry the fitting space; in the second position, the protective cover unblocks the diffusion port to make the fitting space and the tank cavity communicate, and the heating structure is used to dry the tank cavity.

[0006] It can be understood that the position of the protective cover relative to the diffusion port can be adjusted, and then the communication state of the assembly space and the gallbladder cavity can be adjusted. When the protective cover is rotated to the first position, the diffusion port is blocked to make the assembly space not communicate with the gallbladder cavity. When the protective cover is rotated to the second position, the diffusion port is unblocked to make the assembly space communicate with the gallbladder cavity through the diffusion port. The liquid on the tableware in the gallbladder cavity will drip through the diffusion port to the assembly space, realizing the collection of the excess water on the tableware, reducing the water content on the tableware in the gallbladder cavity. Then, the heat generated by the heating structure is diffused to the gallbladder cavity through the diffusion port, to realize the drying of the tableware in the gallbladder cavity. In this process, since the collection of part of the residual water has been realized by the arrangement of the assembly space, the amount of water vapor generated when drying the tableware is reduced, and the problems of dampness and mildew are improved as much as possible. At the same time, the heating structure can be used to dry the assembly space at the first position, to avoid the problems of dampness and mildew caused by the accumulation of liquid in the assembly space. In addition, since the heating structure is installed in the assembly space, compared with directly assembling it in the gallbladder cavity, the arrangement improves the protection of the heating structure, avoids being easily bumped by the tableware, and does not need to occupy the space of the gallbladder cavity, improving the utilization rate of the gallbladder cavity.

The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of the present application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 An embodiment of the present application provides a sterilization cabinet, which can switch two drying modes on the basis of improving the protection of the heating structure, not only satisfying the drying of tableware, but also improving the problems of dampness and mildew during long-term use of the sterilization cabinet. In addition, the sterilization cabinet makes the assembly of the heating structure not occupy the space of the gall bladder cavity, thereby improving the utilization rate of the gall bladder cavity. The sterilization cabinet is described in detail as follows.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4The exemplary sterilization cabinet comprises a cabinet body 10 and a tank body 20 installed on the cabinet body 10, the cabinet body 10 has a cabinet bottom wall 11, the tank body 20 has a tank bottom wall 21, and the cabinet bottom wall 11 and the tank bottom wall 21 have an assembly space 1001 therebetween, the tank bottom wall 21 is configured with a diffusion port 2101 communicating the assembly space 1001 and a tank cavity 201. The sterilization cabinet further comprises a heating structure 30 and a protective cover 40, the heating structure 30 is installed in the assembly space 1001, the protective cover 40 is rotatably connected to the heating structure 30, and the protective cover 40 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the protective cover 40 blocks the diffusion port 2101 to block the assembly space 1001 and the tank cavity 201, and the heating structure 30 is used for drying the assembly space 1001. In the second position, the protective cover 40 unblocks the diffusion port 2101, the assembly space 1001 communicates with the tank cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101, and the heating structure 30 is used for drying the tank cavity 201.

[0037] The heating structure 30 is installed on the bottom of the tank body 20 and faces one side of the cabinet body 10, does not occupy the space of the tank cavity 201, and does not interfere with the structure in the tank cavity 201. In particular, the lower layer of the pull basket in the tank cavity 201 can be arranged at a lower position, effectively improving the utilization rate of the space of the tank cavity 201. Moreover, such arrangement realizes the hidden installation of the heating structure 30, and the heating structure 30 is not easy to be seen when the door body 50 of the sterilization cabinet is opened, which not only improves the protection of the heating structure 30, but also improves the appearance of the sterilization cabinet itself. At the same time, the protective cover 40 is arranged to further increase the protection effect of the heating structure 30. The protective cover 40 is rotatably connected to the heating structure 30, which is convenient for adjusting the protection angle of the protective cover 40 relative to the heating structure 30 and the position of the protective cover 40 relative to the diffusion port 2101.

[0038] When the protective cover 40 is rotated to the first position, the protective cover 40 blocks the diffusion port 2101, so that the assembly space 1001 is not communicated with the gallbladder cavity 201; at this time, the protective cover 40 protects the side of the heating structure 30 facing the gallbladder cavity 201, and even if there is a problem of dropping tableware in the gallbladder cavity 201, the dropped tableware will not damage the heating structure 30 due to the blocking of the protective cover 40, thereby improving the protection of the heating structure 30. When the protective cover 40 is rotated to the second position, the protective cover 40 unblocks the diffusion port 2101, the assembly space 1001 is communicated with the gallbladder cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101, and the heat generated by the heating structure 30 is transmitted to the gallbladder cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101 and can also be transmitted to the gallbladder bottom wall 21 and then to the gallbladder cavity 201, thereby achieving drying. Since the diffusion port 2101 is in an open state at the second position, water on the tableware placed in the gallbladder cavity 201 can drip into the assembly space 1001 from the diffusion port 2101, thereby achieving collection of excess water on the tableware and reducing the water content on the tableware in the gallbladder cavity 201. When the tableware is dried by the heating structure 30, the amount of generated water vapor is reduced, thereby improving the problems of dampness and mildew as much as possible. Moreover, the water collected in the assembly space 1001 can be directly dried by the heating structure 30 after the protective cover 40 is rotated to the first position, thereby avoiding problems such as dampness and mildew in the assembly space 1001; and when the assembly space 1001 is dried, the heat generated by the heating structure 30 will not directly act on the tableware in the gallbladder cavity 201 due to the blocking of the protective cover 40, thereby preventing the tableware from being overheated and improving the protection of the tableware.

[0039] Therefore, the disinfection cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present application can divide the water on the tableware in the gallbladder cavity 201 into two parts, one part is gathered to the assembly space 1001 through the diffusion port 2101, and the other part remains in the gallbladder cavity 201, and the two parts of water can be dried by the heating structure 30 respectively; and the drying in the two positions does not interfere with each other, thereby ensuring the normal use effect of the disinfection cabinet. In this way, the amount of water vapor generated during drying in the gallbladder cavity 201 is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor discharged along the gallbladder cavity 201 and improving the problems of dampness and mildew caused by directly discharging water vapor through the gallbladder cavity 201 for a long time. On this basis, the protective cover 40 is arranged to meet the protection of the heating structure 30 and does not interfere with the heat transmission of the heating structure 30 to the gallbladder cavity 201, thereby facilitating the full use of the heating structure 30 to the gallbladder cavity 201 and improving the utilization rate of heat. In addition, due to the arrangement of the assembly space 1001, the space of the gallbladder cavity 201 is utilized, and the interference between the heating structure 30 and the lower layer of the basket is avoided.

[0040] As Figure 4As shown, in some specific embodiments, the heating structure 30 can adopt a heating pipe, at this time, the length direction of the diffusion port 2101 is the same as the axial direction of the heating pipe. The projection of the diffusion port 2101 in the vertical direction is a rectangle. The length direction of the diffusion port 2101 is the X-axis direction, the width direction of the diffusion port 2101 is the Y-axis direction, and the height direction of the sterilization cabinet is the Z-axis direction (i.e. the vertical direction).

[0041] It should be noted that the aforementioned rear side is the side of the sterilization cabinet not facing the user along the Y-axis direction, and the side facing the user is the front side. The sterilization cabinet further comprises a door body 50 movably connected to the cabinet body 10, and the door body 50 is installed on the front side.

[0042] As shown, Figure 3 Optionally, the cabinet body 10 is configured with a ventilation hole 1201 communicating with the assembly space 1001 at the front side. In this way, the water vapor generated in the assembly space 1001 can be discharged from the ventilation hole 1201 on the front side of the cabinet body 10. Compared with the related art, which discharges from the rear side of the cabinet body 10, the present embodiment can directly discharge the water vapor to the space on the front side of the cabinet body 10, improve the exhaust effect, and reduce the influence of humidity and mildew on the rear side of the cabinet body 10.

[0043] Further, the sterilization cabinet further comprises a cooling fan 80 installed on the bottom wall 21 of the tank body 20, and the heating structure 30 is located on the air outlet path of the cooling fan 80. That is, by using the setting of the cooling fan 80, the gas flow in the assembly space 1001 can be accelerated, and the drying effect in the assembly space 1001 can be improved. In actual use, the airflow generated by the cooling fan 80 blows towards the heating structure 30 and is heated under the action of the heating structure 30; at this time, since the protective cover 40 blocks the diffusion port 2101, the heated gas is gathered in the assembly space 1001 to fully mix with the water vapor generated in the assembly space 1001 during heating. And under the action of the cooling fan 80, it is blown out from the ventilation hole 1201 on the front side of the cabinet body 10, realizing the discharge of water vapor and reducing the risk of humidity and mildew of the sterilization cabinet.

[0044] Among them, the ventilation hole 1201 is arranged on the side of the cabinet body 10 opposite to the cooling fan 80 along the Y-axis direction. The number of ventilation holes 1201 is multiple and arranged at intervals to increase the flow area.

[0045] In the related art, the sterilization cabinet is mostly installed in a cabinet, and the side of the sterilization cabinet on which the door body 50 is located (i.e. the front side of the sterilization cabinet) is in an open state, while the remaining five sides are placed in the cabinet. The water vapor generated by the sterilization cabinet during drying flows upward and is discharged through the air outlet on the top of the sterilization cabinet and the fan arranged at the air outlet. At this time, the discharged water vapor will gather in the cabinet, which will cause the problem of humidity and mildew between the sterilization cabinet and the cabinet over a long period of time.

[0046] Based on this, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , an embodiment provided by the present application provides the setting of the assembly space 1001 between the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder and the bottom wall 11 of the cabinet, and the setting of the diffusion port 2101 on the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder, which facilitates the collection of moisture on tableware in the gallbladder cavity 201, reduces the amount of water to be dried on the tableware, also reduces the water vapor content during drying, and further reduces the mold influence of water vapor on the cabinet and the disinfection cabinet after drying. Specifically, when the cleaned tableware is placed in the gallbladder cavity 201, the protective cover 40 is rotated to the second position to make the assembly space 1001 communicate with the gallbladder cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101, and the water on the tableware will drip downward under the action of its own gravity and gather in the assembly space 1001 through the diffusion port 2101. In this way, the residual moisture on the tableware can be reduced. After a certain period of time, the heating structure 30 is opened to dry the remaining moisture in the gallbladder cavity 201 by using the heating structure 30, thereby reducing the water vapor content during drying and improving the problem of dampness and mold.

[0047] At the same time, by using the rotatable setting of the protective cover 40 relative to the heating structure 30, the diffusion port 2101 can be blocked when the protective cover 40 is rotated to the first position, and the assembly space 1001 and the gallbladder cavity 201 are blocked. At this time, when the water gathered in the assembly space 1001 is dried, the generated steam will not flow to the gallbladder cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101, but will be discharged from the front side of the disinfection cabinet through the air hole 1201 on the cabinet body 10 under the action of the cooling fan 80, avoiding the accumulation of water vapor between the disinfection cabinet and the cabinet, and further improving the problem of dampness and mold between the cabinet and the disinfection cabinet.

[0048] As shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8 , in some specific embodiments, the side of the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder body 20 facing the bottom wall 11 of the cabinet is provided with a fan rack 81, and the cooling fan 80 is installed on the fan rack 81; and the cooling fan 80 can be provided at least two and arranged in the length direction of the diffusion port 2101. The fan rack 81 can be connected with the bottom wall 21, or the fan rack 81 can be connected with the cabinet body 10, as long as it can realize the stable assembly of the cooling fan 80.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11Further, the side of the protective cover 40 facing the heating structure 30 is configured with a flow guide surface 401. In the second position, the protective cover 40 is located on the air outlet path of the heat dissipation fan 80 to guide the airflow to the cavity 201 by the flow guide surface 401. Since the heating structure 30 is arranged on the air outlet path of the heat dissipation fan 80, the airflow is guided to the heating structure 30 by the heat dissipation fan 80 to be fully heated; at this time, because of the arrangement of the flow guide surface 401 on the protective cover 40, the flow direction of the airflow is changed, so that the heated airflow fully flows into the cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101, improving the drying effect.

[0050] The flow guide surface 401 is an arc surface matched with the circumference of the heating pipe 31, and the air outlet path of the heat dissipation fan 80 is arranged along the Y-axis direction. After the airflow contacts the arc surface, the airflow is adjusted to flow along the Z-axis or at an acute angle with the Y-axis direction to the cavity 201.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , as a further optional embodiment, the disinfection cabinet further comprises a door body 50 and an ejection structure 60, the door body 50 is movably connected to the cabinet body 10, and the ejection structure 60 is in driving connection with the protective cover 40. The protective cover 40 rotates to drive the ejection structure 60 to move relative to the door body 50. In the first position, the ejection structure 60 abuts against the door body 50 to make the door body 50 open a first gap, and the assembly space 1001 is communicated with the first gap through the ventilation hole 1201. In the second position, the ejection structure 60 retreats relative to the door body 50, and the door body 50 is tightly closed.

[0052] For example, the door body 50 and the cabinet body 10 are rotatably connected by a hinge. The door body 50 is opened to facilitate taking and placing tableware from the cavity 201, and the door body 50 is closed to facilitate the tableware being subjected to the heating structure 30 and the disinfection lamp to achieve drying and disinfection. The cabinet body 10 comprises a front panel 12 configured with an opening, and the front panel 12 is provided with a sealing strip at the opening to facilitate sealing when the door body 50 is closed. The front panel 12 is located at a position below the sealing strip and cooperates with the bottom wall 21 and the cabinet bottom wall 11 to define the assembly space 1001, and a plurality of ventilation holes 1201 are arranged on the front panel 12. When the door body 50 is closed, considering the sealing requirement, the door body 50 not only presses the sealing strip, but also tightly abuts against the front panel 12, which results in that the ventilation holes 1201 cannot be communicated with the external environment.

[0053] Therefore, in the sterilization cabinet provided by the embodiment, the door body 50 is pushed open by the ejection structure 60 to form a first gap, so that the door body 50 is no longer in close contact with the front panel 12. When the protective cover 40 is in the first position, the assembly space 1001 is in communication with the first gap through the plurality of air holes 1201, and the first gap is in communication with the external environment on the front side of the door body 50. Therefore, the water vapor generated by the drying of the assembly space 1001 by the heating structure 30 can be discharged through the plurality of air holes 1201 and the first gap, so that the front side of the sterilization cabinet is vented. Moreover, because the door body 50 is opened to the first gap, the water vapor that is not fully discharged from the gall cavity 201 can also be discharged from the first gap, further reducing the amount of exhaust gas from the top of the sterilization cabinet, and improving the humid and moldy conditions.

[0054] After the exhaust, the sterilization cabinet can issue an alarm to prompt the user to manually close the door, or a magnetic attraction structure such as an electromagnet can be arranged between the ejection structure 60 and the door body 50, so that the movement of the ejection structure 60 relative to the door body 50 is used to drive the door body 50 to close. Here, only an example is given.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , for example, the sterilization cabinet further comprises a mounting bracket 90 mounted in the assembly space 1001. The mounting bracket 90 is arranged below the diffusion port 2101 and is configured with a liquid collecting cavity 901. It can be understood that the mounting bracket 90 is arranged below the diffusion port 2101 to form the enclosed liquid collecting cavity 901, which not only facilitates the collection of water droplets in the gall cavity 201, but also prevents the collected water from flowing to other positions of the assembly space 1001, thereby improving the problem of water leakage in the sterilization cabinet and improving the safety in use.

[0056] Among them, the mounting bracket 90 is arranged in an inverted trapezoidal table shape from top to bottom along the vertical direction, including a first side plate 91 arranged opposite and spaced apart along the Y-axis direction, a second side plate 92 arranged opposite and spaced apart along the X-axis direction, and a bottom plate 93. The distance between the two first side plates 91 along the Y-axis direction gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the two second side plates 92 are arranged in parallel. Both the two first side plates 91 and the two second side plates 92 are connected with the bottom plate 93. The mounting bracket 90 and the gall bottom wall 21 jointly enclose an assembly cavity 904. The assembly cavity 904 can be in communication with the gall cavity 201 through the diffusion port 2101. The heating pipe 31 and the protective cover 40 are both mounted in the assembly cavity 904. The side of the bottom plate 93 facing the gall bottom wall 21 is recessed downward along the vertical direction to form the liquid collecting cavity 901, which facilitates the collection of water accumulated on the tableware.

[0057] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, further, the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder is configured with a plurality of annular stepped surfaces 211 arranged in order from large to small, from outside to inside, and from high to low, with the diffusion port 2101 as the center, so as to facilitate the water flow to converge at the diffusion port 2101 and flow to the liquid collection cavity 901. Alternatively, the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder can also be configured as an inclined surface inclined towards the diffusion port 2101. As long as it can guide the water flow to the diffusion port 2101, it is acceptable.

[0058] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in actual use, the two first side plates 91 of the mounting bracket 90 are each configured with a plurality of flow-through holes 9101 arranged at intervals, and each flow-through hole 9101 communicates the assembly cavity 904 and the assembly space 1001. Since the plurality of air vents 1201 on the cabinet 10 and the cooling fan 80 are arranged relatively and at intervals along the Y-axis direction, the setting of the plurality of flow-through holes 9101 facilitates the gas in the assembly space 1001 to flow out to the assembly space 1001 after being acted on by the heating structure 30 and then being discharged from the air vents 1201.

[0059] Among them, the two first side plates 91 can also be provided with a radiation surface for heat radiation of the heating pipe 31, which facilitates the heat to be fully diffused to each position of the gallbladder cavity 201 and improves the drying effect; and the radiation surface can also uniformly diffuse the heat to the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder, so as to transmit the heat to the gallbladder cavity 201 through the bottom wall 21 of the gallbladder.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , optionally, the mounting bracket 90 is connected with a plurality of support seats 902 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the diffusion port 2101, and each support seat 902 is provided with a gravity sensor 903. When the gravity sensor 903 detects that the weight of the mounting bracket 90 is greater than a preset threshold, the protective cover 40 can be rotated to the first position. That is, the use of the gravity sensor 903 can detect the weight of the water in the liquid collection cavity 901 of the mounting bracket 90. When the weight of the water collected in the liquid collection cavity 901 is greater than the preset threshold, the water in the liquid collection cavity 901 needs to be dried. At this time, the protective cover 40 is rotated to the first position to block the diffusion port 2101, and the heating structure 30 and the cooling fan 80 can be turned on to fully discharge the water vapor generated by the water in the liquid collection cavity 901. When the gravity sensor 903 detects that the weight of the mounting bracket 90 is less than the target weight value, the above drying operation can be stopped.

[0061] Among them, a critical maximum value (i.e. the aforementioned preset threshold) and a critical minimum value (i.e. the aforementioned target weight value) can be set.

[0062] It is worth noting that the rotation of the protective cover 40 to the first position is not completely dependent on the detection signal of the gravity sensor 903. When it is necessary to open the door body 50 to take or place the tableware, the protective cover 40 can also be rotated to the first position to achieve the protection purpose of the heating structure 30.

[0063] Further, the support seat 902 and the gravity sensor 903 are respectively arranged at the four top corners of the mounting bracket 90, so as to improve the detection accuracy.

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , for example, the sterilization cabinet further comprises a driving mechanism 70 connected with the protective cover 40, used for driving the protective cover 40 to rotate relative to the heating structure 30. The ejection structure 60 comprises an ejection lever 61 and an ejection transmission unit 62 connected to the ejection lever 61, and the ejection transmission unit 62 is in transmission connection with the driving mechanism 70. In this way, the rotation of the protective cover 40 and the movement of the ejection lever 61 can be linked.

[0065] Specifically, the driving mechanism 70 comprises a power source 71 and a rotation transmission unit 72 in transmission connection with the power source 71, the rotation transmission unit 72 is in transmission connection with the protective cover 40 to drive the protective cover 40 to rotate, and the rotation transmission unit 72 is connected with the ejection transmission unit 62 to meet the linkage. The power source 71 can be a motor. The rotation transmission unit 72 can be a gear transmission, comprising a driving gear 721 and a driven gear ring 722, the two are in meshing transmission, the driven gear ring 722 is connected with the protective cover 40, and the driving gear 721 is connected with the motor shaft of the motor. The ejection transmission unit 62 can be a gear and rack transmission, comprising an ejection gear 621 and an ejection rack 622, the two are in meshing transmission, the ejection gear 621 is in transmission connection with the driven gear ring 722, the ejection rack 622 is slidingly connected to the cabinet body 10 and connected with the ejection lever 61. The ejection rack 622 moves along the Y-axis direction to drive the ejection lever 61 to move synchronously to realize the ejection of the door body 50. The ejection gear 621 and the driven gear ring 722 can be in chain transmission. Alternatively, a belt transmission group is connected between the ejection gear 621 and the driven gear ring 722; specifically, the ejection gear 621 and the driven gear ring 722 can be coaxially connected with two pulleys in the belt transmission group, and the two pulleys are in tension transmission with a transmission belt 63 (such as a belt). As long as it can realize the linkage of the protective cover 40 and the ejection lever 61, this is only an example.

[0066] In actual use, the heating structure 30 comprises the mounting seat 32 and the heating pipe 31 mounted on the mounting seat 32, and the heating pipe 31 comprises the pipe base 311 and the pipe body 312. The power source 71 and the pipe base 311 are both mounted on the mounting seat 32, the aforementioned driven gear ring 722 is rotationally connected with the pipe base 311, and the protective cover 40 comprises the mounting ring 413 rotationally connected with the pipe base 311 and connected with the driven gear ring 722. In this way, stable support for the heating pipe 31 and the protective cover 40 is achieved, and the rotatable arrangement of the protective cover 40 relative to the heating pipe 31 is satisfied.

[0067] In actual use, the heating structure 30 comprises the mounting seat 32 and the heating pipe 31 mounted on the mounting seat 32, and the heating pipe 31 comprises the pipe base 311 and the pipe body 312. The power source 71 and the pipe base 311 are both mounted on the mounting seat 32, the aforementioned driven gear ring 722 is rotationally connected with the pipe base 311, and the protective cover 40 comprises the mounting ring 413 rotationally connected with the pipe base 311 and connected with the driven gear ring 722. In this way, stable support for the heating pipe 31 and the protective cover 40 is achieved, and the rotatable arrangement of the protective cover 40 relative to the heating pipe 31 is satisfied.

[0068] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , optionally, the protective cover 40 comprises the cover base 41 and the blocking strip 42, the cover base 41 is rotationally connected with the heating structure 30, and the cover base 41 is provided with the blocking strip 42 on at least two sides along the width direction (Y-axis direction). In the first position, the two blocking strips 42 abut against the two edges of the diffusion port 2101 along the width direction. It can be understood that, by arranging the blocking strips 42, the sealing performance between the protective cover 40 and the edges of the diffusion port 2101 is improved, and water vapor is prevented from diffusing into the gall bladder cavity 201 as much as possible when the assembly space 1001 is dried.

[0069] In actual use, the heating structure 30 comprises the mounting seat 32 and the heating pipe 31 mounted on the mounting seat 32, and the heating pipe 31 comprises the pipe base 311 and the pipe body 312. The power source 71 and the pipe base 311 are both mounted on the mounting seat 32, the aforementioned driven gear ring 722 is rotationally connected with the pipe base 311, and the protective cover 40 comprises the mounting ring 413 rotationally connected with the pipe base 311 and connected with the driven gear ring 722. In this way, stable support for the heating pipe 31 and the protective cover 40 is achieved, and the rotatable arrangement of the protective cover 40 relative to the heating pipe 31 is satisfied.

[0070] In actual use, the arc surface of the arc-shaped portion 411 towards the heating pipe 31 can be used as the aforementioned flow guide surface 401.

[0071] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 11As shown, further, the protective cover 40 further comprises an outer cover body 43 and a connecting assembly 44, the outer cover body 43 is connected to the cover base body 41 through the connecting assembly 44 and is located on the side of the cover base body 41 away from the heating structure 30. In this way, when the heating structure 30 is turned on to heat, the arrangement of the outer cover body 43 is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the protective cover 40 itself, so as to avoid the temperature on the side of the protective cover 40 away from the heating structure 30 being too high.

[0072] Still further, the outer cover body 43 and the cover base body 41 have an assembly gap 402, and the outer cover body 43 is elastically connected to the cover base body 41 through at least two groups of connecting assemblies 44 arranged at intervals along the length direction (i.e. the X-axis direction). It can be understood that, by arranging the assembly gap 402, the outer cover body 43 is prevented from being in direct contact with the cover base body 41, so as to form an air layer therebetween and reduce heat conduction. At the same time, by arranging multiple groups of connecting assemblies 44, the connection reliability of the outer cover body 43 relative to the cover base body 41 is improved, so as to avoid the problem of the outer cover body 43 being easily detached. Moreover, due to the elastic arrangement of the outer cover body 43 relative to the cover base body 41, when the protective cover 40 is rotated to the first position, the outer cover body 43 will be close to the cover base body 41 under its own weight, so as to avoid causing interference between the outer cover body 43 and the edge of the diffusion port 2101 and affecting the sealing performance. When the protective cover 40 is rotated to the lower side of the heating structure 30, the outer cover body 43 moves downward under its own weight and is even immersed in the liquid collection cavity 901, so as to use the water in the liquid collection cavity 901 to dissipate heat of the outer cover body 43, and further avoid the temperature of the outer cover body 43 being too high. In addition, even if a tableware falls to the protective cover 40 in the gallbladder cavity 201, the elastic arrangement of the outer cover body 43 relative to the cover base body 41 can also play a buffering role.

[0073] The connecting assembly 44 can comprise multiple elastic members 443 arranged at intervals. As long as it can achieve the elastic connection of the outer cover body 43 relative to the cover base body 41.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the protective cover 40 is rotated to the first position, the projection of the diffusion port 2101 in the vertical direction falls within the projection of the protective cover 40 in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the projections of the two in the vertical direction are rectangular, the width of the rectangular corresponding to the diffusion port 2101 is smaller than the width of the rectangular corresponding to the protective cover 40. Such an arrangement ensures that the protective cover 40 can seal the diffusion port 2101 as much as possible in the first position, avoids the water vapor in the assembly space 1001 flowing to the gallbladder cavity 201, improves the exhaust amount of the assembly space 1001 through the vent hole 1201, and facilitates sufficient exhaust.

[0075] Further, the projection of the outer cover 43 along the vertical direction falls within the projection of the cover base 41 along the vertical direction, so as to reduce the sealing interference of the outer cover 43 on the diffusion port 2101. Meanwhile, a sealing member can be arranged at the connecting portion 412 of the protective cover 40, so as to further improve the sealing performance on the diffusion port 2101.

[0076] As shown in Figure 11 Optionally, the connecting assembly 44 comprises a first column 441, a second column 442 and an elastic member 443. The first column 441 is connected to the cover base 41 and is configured with an assembly hole 4410; the second column 442 is connected to the outer cover 43 and is inserted into the assembly hole 4410, and the second column 442 can move along the axial direction of the assembly hole 4410 in the assembly hole 4410; the elastic member 443 is sleeved outside the second column 442, and one end of the elastic member 443 is connected to the cover base 41 and the other end is connected to the outer cover 43.

[0077] Specifically, the second column 442 is inserted into the first column 441, so as to guide the movement of the outer cover 43 relative to the cover base 41 and avoid the deviation of the outer cover 43. In particular, when the protective cover 40 is in the second position to guide the gas flow into the gallbladder cavity 201, the outer cover 43 may be swung due to the action of the airflow of the heat dissipation fan 80. At this time, the second column 442 is combined with the first column 441 to limit the swing of the outer cover 43. The elastic member 443 is sleeved outside the second column 442, so as to further improve the installation stability of the elastic member 443 and avoid the swing of the elastic member 443 to cause the deviation of the outer cover 43.

[0078] Specifically, the second column 442 is inserted into the first column 441, so as to guide the movement of the outer cover 43 relative to the cover base 41 and avoid the deviation of the outer cover 43. In particular, when the protective cover 40 is in the second position to guide the gas flow into the gallbladder cavity 201, the outer cover 43 may be swung due to the action of the airflow of the heat dissipation fan 80. At this time, the second column 442 is combined with the first column 441 to limit the swing of the outer cover 43. The elastic member 443 is sleeved outside the second column 442, so as to further improve the installation stability of the elastic member 443 and avoid the swing of the elastic member 443 to cause the deviation of the outer cover 43.

[0079] As shown in Figure 11 Further, the first column 441 extends towards the side close to the heating tube 31 at the end away from the outer cover 43, and a temperature measuring structure is connected to the extending end. The temperature measuring structure comprises a temperature measuring base 444 and a temperature sensor 445 mounted on the temperature measuring base 444. The temperature measuring base 444 is snap-fitted with the first column 441 to block the assembly hole 4410 of the first column 441, and the temperature sensor 445 is located in the assembly hole 4410 to detect the temperature of the outer cover 43.

[0080] Specifically, the extending end of the first column 441 is provided with a clamping jaw to be snap-fitted with a clamping hole on the temperature measuring base 444.

[0081] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in some specific embodiments, the first column 441 is integrally formed with the cover base 41, and the second column 442 is integrally formed with the cover body 43. The cover body 43 is provided with a plurality of ribs 431 arranged along the X-axis direction on the side away from the cover base 41, so as to improve the structural strength of the cover body 43. In addition, such arrangement can increase the heat dissipation area when the cover body 43 is cooled.

[0082] Alternatively, the first column can be connected to the cover body, and the second column can be connected to the cover base, as long as the movement of the cover body relative to the cover base can be guided by the cooperation of the first column and the second column. Meanwhile, the elastic member can be directly connected between the cover body and the cover base.

[0083] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered as falling within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0084] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
