DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The following is a further detailed description of the implementation of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0044] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" or "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0046] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0047] Figure 1 The main structural diagram of the locker provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated. Figure 2 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the locker provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated. Figure 3 The three-dimensional structure diagram of the locker provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage cabinet includes a cabinet body 100 and a sterilization and disinfection component 300, the cabinet body 100 has at least two compartments inside, and one side of the cabinet body 100 has an opening connected to the compartments; the sterilization and disinfection component 300 includes a power supply component 303 and at least two sterilization and disinfection components 330, and the sterilization and disinfection components 330 are arranged in at least two compartments, and the power supply component 303 is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection component 330.

[0048] According to the locker of the embodiment of the present application, by connecting one power supply component 303 to multiple sterilization and disinfection components 330, one power supply component 303 can power multiple sterilization and disinfection components 330, thereby sterilizing all different compartments. Compared with the lockers in the related art, the sterilization effect is effectively enhanced, the production cost is reduced, and the product competitiveness is enhanced.

[0049] It is understandable that if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 100 has two compartments inside, and the sterilization and disinfection component 300 includes two sterilization and disinfection components 330, which are arranged in the compartments one by one, that is, one sterilization and disinfection component 330 is arranged in one compartment. The sterilization and disinfection components 330 in different compartments can work at the same time or in different time periods.

[0050] It should be noted here that, in addition to the situation where the sterilization and disinfection components 330 are arranged in the compartments one by one, some compartments may not be provided with sterilization and disinfection components 330, and some compartments may be provided with more than two sterilization and disinfection components 330. For example, when the refrigeration compartment 110 of some lockers has multiple drawers 200, since the sterilization and disinfection requirements of the items in each drawer 200 are different, the sterilization and disinfection components 330 can be arranged on the top of at least two drawers 200, and a sterilization and disinfection component 330 can be arranged in the freezer compartment 120. By electrically connecting the sterilization and disinfection components 330 to the same power supply component 303, one power supply component 303 can be used to power multiple sterilization and disinfection components 330, realizing one-to-many, and then different spaces inside the locker can be disinfected.

[0051] It is also understandable that the storage cabinet can be a refrigerator, a display cabinet or a freezer, etc. The sterilization component 330 is a xenon lamp component, and the power supply component 303 is used to power the xenon lamp component and provide energy for exciting the pulse xenon lamp to ionize xenon gas.

[0052] It is also understandable that Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 100 has a refrigerating compartment 110 and a freezing compartment 120 located below the refrigerating compartment 110. The refrigerating compartment 110 and the freezing compartment 120 are separated by a foaming layer, and the space of the refrigerating compartment 110 is larger than the space of the freezing compartment 120. The sterilization and disinfection component 300 includes a first sterilization and disinfection component 301 and a second sterilization and disinfection component 302. The first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is arranged in the refrigerating compartment 110, and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is arranged in the freezing compartment 120. The number of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 can be one or more. When the number of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is more than one, the multiple first sterilization and disinfection components 301 can be arranged in different areas in the refrigerating compartment 110. The second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is the same as the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Of course, the types of compartments inside the cabinet 100 are not limited to the refrigerating compartment 110 and the freezing compartment 120, and other types of compartments may also be provided. For example, the cabinet 100 may also have a variable temperature compartment, and the variable temperature compartment is located between the refrigerating compartment 110 and the freezing compartment 120. In this case, the variable temperature compartment is separated from the refrigerating compartment 110 and the freezing compartment 120 by a foaming layer. In order to sterilize the variable temperature compartment, the variable temperature compartment may be provided with a third sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 (not shown), and the third sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 is also electrically connected to the power supply assembly 303. At this time, the power supply assembly 303 supplies power to the three sterilization and disinfection assemblies 330, realizing one to three.

[0054] It is also understandable that Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locker also includes a drawer 200, and a drawer cover 210 is arranged in the cold storage compartment 110 of the drawer 200. A certain distance is between the drawer cover 210 and the bottom wall of the compartment, and a storage unit is formed between the drawer cover 210 and the bottom wall of the compartment. The drawer 200 is located in the storage unit, and the drawer 200 is located below the drawer cover 210. The top of the drawer 200 is open, and the drawer 200 is slidably matched with the bottom wall or side wall of the compartment. The first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is arranged at the bottom of the drawer cover 210, and the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located above the drawer 200. In this case, the power supply component 303 is also arranged in the cold storage compartment 110. When the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is working, since the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located above the drawer 200, the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 can sterilize the items in the drawer 200 from above, thereby improving the safety of food.

[0055] The second sterilization and disinfection assembly 302 is arranged on the top wall of the freezing chamber 120, and the second sterilization and disinfection assembly 302 is located below the first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301. The second sterilization and disinfection assembly 302 and the first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301 are both electrically connected to the power supply assembly 303 through a wire. By arranging the second sterilization and disinfection assembly 302 on the top wall of the freezing chamber 120, the length of the wire connecting the second sterilization and disinfection assembly 302 and the power supply assembly 303 is shortened. In order to avoid the influence of the wire on the process of drawing out the drawer 200, one section of the wire is pre-buried in the inside of the drawer cover 210, and the other section of the wire is pre-buried in the foaming layer of the cabinet 100.

[0056] It is also understandable that Figure 5 The bottom view of the drawer cover provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated as follows: Figure 5As shown, the length direction of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is the same as the withdrawal direction of the drawer 200. Since the length of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is much greater than the width of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, by making the length direction of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 the same as the withdrawal direction of the drawer 200, the width of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 in the withdrawal direction perpendicular to the drawer 200 is greatly reduced, effectively reducing the contact surface between the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 and the food in the drawer 200, avoiding the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 interfering with the food and hindering the normal withdrawal and insertion of the drawer 200.

[0057] Similarly, the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 can be arranged in the same manner as the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, that is, the length direction of the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is the same as the length direction of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301. With such an arrangement, the contact surface between the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 and the food can be effectively reduced, and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is prevented from interfering with the food and hindering the normal extraction and insertion of the drawer 200. Furthermore, a recess can be provided on the top wall of the freezing chamber 120, and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 can be embedded in the recess, which can also reduce the contact between the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 and the food.

[0058] It can also be understood that the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is detachably connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210. By connecting the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 to the bottom of the drawer cover 210 in a detachable connection, it is more convenient to replace and repair the first sterilization and disinfection component 301.

[0059] It can also be understood that when there is one drawer 200 disposed below the drawer cover 210, the first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301 is disposed in the middle of the bottom of the drawer cover 210. When there are two drawers 200 disposed below the drawer cover 210, the two first sterilization and disinfection assemblies 301 are disposed at intervals at the bottom of the drawer cover 210, and each first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301 is located directly above the corresponding drawer 200.

[0060] It is also understandable that Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization and disinfection component 330 is electrically connected to the power component 303 through a wire, so that the power component 303 and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are separately arranged, avoiding the power component 303 and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 The integrated structure occupies a large space and improves the utilization rate of the compartment space. In addition, since the power component 303 and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are separately arranged, the sterilization and disinfection component 300 can be compatible with drawers 200 of different compartment sizes, improving the versatility of the sterilization and disinfection component 300 and reducing production costs.

[0061] It can also be understood that, since the power supply assembly 303 and the sterilization assembly 330 are separately arranged, the power supply assembly 303 and the sterilization assembly 330 work together through electrical connection, and the position of the sterilization assembly 330 can be set as needed. Therefore, the sterilization assembly 330 can be set on the side wall of the compartment, or on the bottom of the drawer cover 210 or inside the drawer cover 210, or on the outside of the locker.

[0062] It can also be understood that the power supply assembly 303 is arranged outside the cabinet 100. The power supply assembly 303 is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 through a wire. Since the power supply assembly 303 is located outside the cabinet 100, the influence of water vapor on the power supply assembly 303 can be effectively avoided. It can also be understood that the locker also includes a door body and a hinge cover 130, the door body is arranged at the opening, and the door body is connected to the cabinet 100 through a hinge assembly to open or close the opening; the hinge cover 130 is covered by the corresponding hinge assembly, specifically, the hinge cover 130 is covered by the hinge assembly at the top of the cabinet 100, the hinge cover 130 is located at the top of the cabinet 100, and the power supply assembly 303 is arranged inside the hinge cover 130.

[0063] According to the locker of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the power supply assembly 303 inside the hinged cover 130, since the hinged cover 130 is located outside the compartment, the power supply assembly 303 with high voltage electricity can be installed outside the locker, avoiding the influence of moisture in the compartment, reducing the risk of leakage, and improving the safety of the locker. Since there is no need to set a sealing structure, the production cost is reduced and the product competitiveness is enhanced.

[0064] It can also be understood that the hinge cover 130 is located at the top of the cabinet 100. Specifically, the bottom of the hinge cover 130 is formed with an opening, and the hinge cover 130 covers the top of the cabinet 100 to encapsulate the power supply assembly 303 inside the hinge cover 130. The hinge cover 130 is detachably connected to the cabinet 100. Specifically, the hinge cover 130 is provided with a screw hole, and the hinge cover 130 is connected to the cabinet 100 through the screws in the screw hole. Of course, the detachable connection method of the hinge cover 130 and the cabinet 100 is not limited to this, and it can also be connected by a buckle and a tongue, or other detachable connection methods. By making the hinge cover 130 detachably connected to the cabinet 100, it is convenient to maintain the power supply assembly 303 inside the hinge cover 130.

[0065] It can also be understood that the hinge cover 130 is located on the top of the cabinet 100 near the door, and a door sensor suitable for detecting whether the door is opened or closed is provided inside the hinge cover 130. Integrating the door sensor and the power supply assembly 303 inside the hinge cover 130 not only facilitates universal production, but also simplifies the structure of the locker and reduces production costs.

[0066] It can also be understood that the power supply assembly 303 is horizontally arranged inside the hinge cover 130, the power supply assembly 303 is suspended inside the hinge cover 130, and the power supply assembly 303 is connected to the inner wall of the hinge cover 130 by buckles or screws. The electronic components of the power supply assembly 303 are all located at the bottom of the power supply assembly 303. With such an arrangement, dust and water vapor that may enter can be blocked in the vertical direction to avoid accidents caused by the power supply assembly 303.

[0067] It is also understandable that Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the positional relationship between the drawer and the drawer cover provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the inside of the drawer cover 210 has an installation cavity 221, and the installation cavity 221 is suitable for installing the control panel, and the power supply assembly 303 is arranged in the installation cavity 221. The installation cavity 221 is arranged inside the drawer cover 210, so that the control panel and the power supply assembly 303 can be arranged in the installation cavity 221. The power supply assembly 303 is arranged in the installation cavity 221. There are the following advantages. On the one hand, the control panel and the power supply assembly 303 are both arranged in the installation cavity 221, which shortens the length of the wire connecting the control panel and the power supply assembly 303, and there is no need to install the power supply assembly 303 in other setting spaces, which is convenient for controlling the sterilization and disinfection component 300 through the control panel to sterilize food, etc. On the other hand, since the control panel and the power supply assembly 303 are both located in the installation cavity 221, the structure of the locker is more compact, and the space utilization rate of the compartment is improved.

[0068] It can also be understood that the installation cavity 221 is located on the side of the drawer cover 210 close to the opening. When food or other items need to be placed for storage, the user places the food or other items in the drawer 200 through the opening. Since the installation cavity 221 is located on the side of the drawer cover 210 close to the opening, that is, the control panel is located on the side of the drawer cover 210 close to the opening, it is more convenient to control the sterilization component 300 through the control panel after placing the food.

[0069] It is also understandable that Figure 5 As shown, the installation cavity 221 protrudes downward and forms a convex portion at the bottom of the drawer cover 210, and the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located on the side of the convex portion facing away from the opening. The first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is arranged on the side of the convex portion facing away from the opening, which not only fully utilizes the space on the side of the convex portion facing away from the opening, reduces the volume of the bottom convex portion of the drawer cover 210, increases the use space of the drawer 200, and places more food; and can use the convex portion to shield the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, reducing the impact of food on the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 during the process of pushing the drawer 200.

[0070] It is understandable that if Figure 4As shown, the bottom wall of the installation cavity 221 is provided with a fixing portion, and the power supply component 303 is positioned and matched with the fixing portion. The fixing portion is provided to be positioned and matched with the power supply component 303, which can not only simplify the installation steps of the power supply component 303, but also fix the power supply component 303 to prevent the power supply component 303 from displacement. Specifically, the fixing portion is a fixing groove provided on the bottom wall of the power supply component 303, and the power supply component 303 is embedded in the fixing groove. Or the fixing portion is a positioning column provided on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 221, and a positioning hole is provided on the power supply component 303, and the positioning column is embedded in the positioning hole.

[0071] It is understandable that if Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the convex portion. Since the thickness of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the convex portion, that is, the bottom surface of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is higher than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the convex portion, the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 can be prevented from being affected during the process of pushing in or pulling out the drawer 200.

[0072] A guide slope 350 is provided on the side of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 away from the opening, and the guide slope 350 is inclined from the opening to the direction of the drawer cover 210. When the drawer 200 drives the food in the drawer 200 to move, since the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is provided with the guide slope 350 on the side away from the opening, the interference of the food in the drawer 200 on the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is reduced, and the drawer 200 is smoothly pulled out.

[0073] Understandably, Figure 6 The three-dimensional structure diagram of the sterilization and disinfection assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the power supply assembly 303 also includes a quick connector, and the circuit board is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 through the quick connector. Using the quick connector to connect the circuit board to the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 simplifies the connection steps between the circuit board and each sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 and improves the assembly efficiency of the locker.

[0074] The quick connector includes a terminal 340 and a jack, the terminal 340 is electrically connected to the sterilization and disinfection component 330 through a wire, the circuit board is provided with a jack, the terminal 340 is plug-connected with the jack, so that the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are electrically connected through the terminal 340 and the jack. Since the terminal 340 and the jack are plug-connected, it is convenient to realize electrical connection between the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330, and the assembly method of the sterilization and disinfection component 300 is simplified. Of course, the terminal 340 can also be electrically connected to the circuit board through a wire, the sterilization and disinfection component 330 is provided with a jack, and the terminal 340 is plug-connected with the jack.

[0075] It should be noted here that the circuit board is electrically connected to the sterilization and disinfection component 330 by cooperating with the terminal 340 and the jack, which can be a connection between the circuit board and the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 or a connection between the circuit board and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302.

[0076] It can also be understood that the side wall of the convex portion is provided with a wire passing hole, the wire is passed through the wire passing hole, and a seal is provided between the wire and the wire passing hole, and the seal is suitable for sealing the gap between the wire and the hole wall of the wire passing hole. Of course, sealant can also be used to seal the wire passing hole. By providing the wire passing hole, the length of the wire between the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 is shortened, which not only reduces the production cost, but also makes the structure of the sterilization and disinfection component 300 more compact. The gap between the wire and the hole wall of the wire passing hole is sealed by a seal, so that a closed cavity is formed inside the installation cavity 221, preventing external water vapor from entering the installation cavity 221 through the gap between the wire and the hole wall of the wire passing hole, thereby damaging the circuit board or the control panel.

[0077] It is understandable that a avoidance groove (not shown) is formed on the upper edge of the side wall of the drawer 200 away from the opening, and the position of the avoidance groove corresponds to the position of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301. The width of the avoidance groove is greater than the width of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301. By arranging the avoidance groove corresponding to the position of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 on the drawer 200, even if the side wall of the drawer 200 is set very high, the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 can still pass through the avoidance groove during the process of drawing out or pushing in the drawer 200, without interacting with the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, thereby increasing the capacity of the drawer 200.

[0078] It is understandable that the length of the avoidance groove is greater than the width of the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330. When the drawer 200 moves in and out from the opening, the drawer 200 will shake. Since the length of the avoidance groove is greater than the width of the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330, the drawer 200 will not collide with the first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301 when shaking, thereby avoiding damage to the first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301 during the movement of the drawer 200 moving in and out from the opening.

[0079] It can also be understood that the power supply assembly 303 is located in one of the compartments. In this embodiment, the power supply assembly 303 and the first sterilization and disinfection assembly 301 are both located in the cold storage compartment 110. The power supply assembly 303 includes a housing and a circuit board, and the housing has a cavity inside. The circuit board is encapsulated in the housing, and the circuit board is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection assembly 330. Specifically, the housing is located in the installation cavity 221, and the housing is positioned and matched with the fixing portion.

[0080] The shell is made of fireproof material to avoid fire accidents caused by heating of the circuit board, thereby improving the safety of the locker. Since the shell and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are arranged separately, the shell can be arranged in installation cavities 221 of different sizes, and the shape of the shell can be set as needed.

[0081] It can also be understood that a colloid is filled between the inner wall of the cavity and the circuit board to fix the circuit board in the cavity.

[0082] According to the storage cabinet of the embodiment of the present application, the circuit board is encapsulated in the cavity of the shell by using a colloid, and there is no need to use a sealant for sealing, which simplifies the structural design of the shell and can be applied to shells of different structures. It has the advantages of simple structure, low production cost and high manufacturability.

[0083] It is understandable that the circuit board is provided with a capacitor, and the capacitor can be arranged perpendicular to the circuit board, or can be arranged in parallel with the circuit board. In order to reduce the thickness of the circuit board, the capacitor is arranged in parallel with the circuit board in the present embodiment, that is, the central axis of the capacitor is parallel to the circuit board. The housing is provided with an exhaust hole, and the setting position of the exhaust hole on the housing is determined by the position of the capacitor tail, and can be arranged on the side wall of the housing, or can be arranged on the top of the housing or the bottom of the housing. A channel connecting the tail of the capacitor and the exhaust hole is formed inside the colloid. Since the explosion-proof deflation of the capacitor tail will cause problems after the colloid solidifies, the capacitor cannot be deflated at a specified position under an unexpected state, so by arranging a channel inside the colloid, the channel can make the capacitor deflate under an unexpected state, thereby improving the stability and safety of the sterilization and disinfection component 300. In order to ensure that the gas leaked by the capacitor is discharged in time, the inner diameter of the channel is greater than or equal to the diameter of the capacitor tail.

[0084] It is understandable that the channel is filled with a flexible pad, and the flexible pad has multiple air holes. The material of the flexible pad is a soft material such as sponge, EVA or foam. The provision of a flexible pad can not only ensure that the gas leaked from the capacitor is discharged in time, but also prevent external impurities from entering the channel and clogging the channel. Of course, in the case where a flexible pad is not provided in the channel, a filter net can also be provided in the exhaust hole, and the material of the filter net is preferably a metal material.

[0085] It is understandable that the exhaust hole is located on the side wall of the housing near the tail of the capacitor, and the central axis of the exhaust hole is in the same straight line as the central axis of the capacitor. Since the capacitor is leaked through the tail of the capacitor, the exhaust hole is set on the side wall of the housing near the tail of the capacitor, which can effectively shorten the length of the channel and ensure that the gas leaked from the capacitor is discharged in time. Furthermore, by making the central axis of the exhaust hole and the central axis of the capacitor in the same straight line, the length of the channel can be further shortened, and the resistance of the leaked gas in the channel can be further reduced.

[0086] It can also be understood that the shell is provided with a groove that is recessed into the inside of the shell, and the position of the groove corresponds to the position where the thickness of the circuit board is the smallest. Since the colloid is used to seal the internal space of the shell, the colloid will fill the inside of the shell, but since no electronic components are set in some areas of the circuit board, and since the height of each electronic component is different, this causes the thickness of the colloid to be different in different areas. At the position where the thickness of the circuit board is the smallest, that is, the area where no electronic components are set, the thickness of the colloid is the maximum, and filling these positions with colloid with a larger thickness will cause waste of the colloid. By providing a groove on the shell corresponding to the position where the thickness of the circuit board is the smallest, the groove can be recessed into the inside of the shell, so that the thickness of the colloid here can be reduced, thereby avoiding waste of colloid, reducing the amount of colloid used, and reducing production costs. In addition, the provision of the groove can also serve as a reinforcing rib, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the shell.

[0087] It can also be understood that a heat sink (not shown) is provided on the outer surface of the housing, and the heat sink is attached to the outer surface of the housing. The heat sink is made of a metal material with good heat dissipation performance, such as metal aluminum, metal copper, aluminum alloy and other metal materials. The heat sink can enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the housing, so that the heat generated by the circuit board can be discharged in time, avoiding the occurrence of fire accidents caused by the failure to discharge the heat in time, and improving the safety of the sterilization and disinfection component 300.

[0088] It can also be understood that a cooling fan (not shown) is provided on the side of the heat sink away from the housing. The cooling fan is suitable for blowing away the heat output by the heat sink in time to cool the heat sink, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the heat sink.

[0089] It is also understandable that Figure 6 As shown, the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 includes a bracket 333 and a sterilization and disinfection lamp 332. The bracket 333 is used to provide an installation basis for the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 and protect the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 to prevent the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 from being damaged by external impact. The interior of the bracket 333 is hollow, and the bracket 333 is arranged at the bottom of the drawer cover 210. The length direction of the bracket 333 is the same as the withdrawal direction of the drawer 200. The bracket 333 and the bottom of the drawer cover 210 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. In order to simplify the number of components, the bracket 333 can also be integrally formed with the bottom of the drawer cover 210. In order to reduce the thickness of the bracket 333 protruding from the bottom of the drawer cover 210, a recess is provided at the bottom of the drawer cover 210, and the bracket 333 can be installed in the recess in a semi-embedded manner to avoid the bracket 333 interfering with the food materials during the process of drawing out and pushing in the drawer 200 and hindering the normal drawing out and pushing in of the drawer 200.

[0090] The bracket 333 has a light-transmitting hole on one side facing the drawer 200, and the light emitted by the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 enters the interior of the drawer 200 through the light-transmitting hole. The sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 is arranged in the bracket 333 along the length direction of the bracket 333, and the position of the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting hole. The sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the circuit board supplies power to the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332, so that the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 can sterilize the items in the drawer 200.

[0091] It is also understandable that Figure 6 As shown, the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 also includes a reflector 331, which is arranged around the side of the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 away from the light transmission hole, and the side of the reflector 331 facing the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 has a reflective surface. The length direction of the reflector 331 is the same as the length direction of the bracket 333. Since the light emitted by the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 is diffused in all directions, the reflector 331 is provided to reflect the light emitted by the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 to the light transmission hole, and then enter the interior of the drawer 200 through the light transmission hole, thereby enhancing the sterilization effect of the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332.

[0092] It is also understandable that Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the reflector 331 is semicircular or trapezoidal. Such a design can reflect light in multiple directions to the inside of the drawer 200, thereby enhancing the sterilization effect.

[0093] It can also be understood that the bracket 333 is detachably connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210. The detachable connection method can facilitate the maintenance of the sterilization and disinfection component 300. Specifically, screw holes are provided at both ends of the bracket 333, and the bracket 333 is connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210 through screws in the screw holes. Of course, the bracket 333 and the bottom of the drawer cover 210 can also be connected through the engagement of a clamping portion and a clamping tongue, for example, both ends of the bracket 333 are provided with a clamping tongue, and the bottom of the drawer cover 210 is provided with a clamping portion, and the clamping tongue is engaged with the clamping portion.

[0094] It should be noted that the installation method of the bracket 333 here is not limited to referring to the installation method of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, but can also be the installation method of the second sterilization and disinfection component 302.

[0095] It is also understandable that Figure 6 As shown, a guide slope 350 is provided on the side of the bracket 333 away from the opening, and the guide slope 350 is inclined upward. By providing the guide slope 350 on the side of the bracket 333 away from the opening, the interference of the food in the drawer 200 with the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 can be reduced, and the drawer 200 can be smoothly drawn out.

[0096] It is also understandable that Figure 6As shown, the sterilization lamp 332 includes a lamp body, a lamp tube and a rubber head. The interior of the lamp tube is hollow, and at least one end of the lamp tube is provided with a mounting port. The lamp body is arranged in the lamp tube, and the length direction of the lamp tube is the same as the length direction of the bracket 333. The rubber head is arranged at at least one end of the lamp tube, and in this embodiment, both ends of the lamp tube are provided with rubber heads. The rubber head is suitable for sealing the end of the lamp tube to encapsulate the lamp body in the lamp tube, and at least one of the lamp tube and the rubber head is made of a fireproof material. Since the lamp tube and the rubber head are made of fireproof material, the bracket 333 with a larger volume does not need to use expensive fireproof material, thereby reducing the cost of the sterilization component 300 and improving the product competitiveness.

[0097] It can also be understood that the materials of the lamp tube and the rubber head are food contact materials. During the process of pulling out and pushing in the drawer 200, even if the food contacts the lamp tube and / or the rubber head, it will not affect the safe consumption of the food, thereby improving the safety of the locker. Specifically, the material of the lamp tube is quartz, which has the advantages of good light transmission and high hardness. In this embodiment, the lamp body is a xenon lamp with good sterilization effect.

[0098] It is also understandable that Figure 6 As shown, one of the rubber head and the inner wall of the bracket 333 is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other of the rubber head and the inner wall of the bracket 333 is provided with a positioning groove; that is, the rubber head is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the inner wall of the bracket 333 is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning protrusion; or the rubber head is provided with a positioning groove, and the inner wall of the bracket 333 is provided with a positioning protrusion corresponding to the positioning groove; the positioning protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove to achieve positioning cooperation between the rubber head and the inner wall of the bracket 333. By providing positioning cooperation between the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove, the installation of the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 can be facilitated.
