Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage technology, and more particularly to a storage cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers pay more attention to health-related home appliances, refrigerators, as frequently used appliances, have the problem of a relatively enclosed and humid environment. This not only makes it easy for food to have mixed odors, but also makes it easy for bacteria to grow, causing food to spoil.

[0003] The related technology uses a pulsed light device installed inside the refrigerator compartment to sterilize the space. The pulsed light has a full-spectrum spectrum, stores energy through an energy storage capacitor, and releases the energy instantaneously to achieve the sterilization effect. However, this technology only installs a sterilization lamp in the refrigerator compartment; the freezer compartment merely uses a low-temperature environment to inhibit the activity of psychrophilic bacteria (such as Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia). When the temperature returns to a suitable level, these bacteria can continue to grow and multiply. Because the freezer compartment cannot effectively sterilize, it poses a risk to food safety. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram of the main structure of the locker provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 A cross-sectional structural diagram of the locker provided in an embodiment of this application is illustrated. Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the storage cabinet provided in the embodiments of this application is illustrated, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locker 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 communicating with the compartments. The sterilization and disinfection component 300 includes a power supply component 303 and at least two sterilization and disinfection components 330. Each of the at least two compartments is equipped with a sterilization and disinfection component 330, and the power supply component 303 is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection component 330.

[0048] According to the embodiments of this application, the storage cabinet, by supplying power to a power supply component 303 and multiple sterilization and disinfection components 330, enables one power supply component 303 to supply power to multiple sterilization and disinfection components 330, thereby sterilizing all different compartments. Compared with storage cabinets in related technologies, this effectively enhances the sterilization effect, reduces production costs, and enhances product competitiveness.

[0049] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 100 has two compartments inside. The sterilization and disinfection unit 300 includes two sterilization and disinfection components 330, which are arranged one-to-one in the compartments, that is, one sterilization and disinfection component 330 is installed in each compartment. The sterilization and disinfection components 330 in different compartments can work simultaneously or at different times.

[0050] It should be noted that, in addition to the case where the sterilization and disinfection components 330 are installed one-to-one in each compartment, some compartments may not have sterilization and disinfection components 330, while others may have more than one sterilization and disinfection component 330. For example, when the refrigerated compartment 110 of a storage cabinet has multiple drawers 200, since the sterilization and disinfection requirements of the items in each drawer 200 are different, sterilization and disinfection components 330 can be installed on the top of at least two drawers 200, while one sterilization and disinfection component 330 is installed 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 supply power to multiple sterilization and disinfection components 330, achieving one-to-many operation, thereby disinfecting different spaces inside the storage cabinet.

[0051] It is also understandable that the storage cabinet can be a refrigerator, display case, or freezer, or other refrigeration equipment. The sterilization and disinfection component 330 is a xenon lamp component, and the power supply component 303 is used to supply power to the xenon lamp component, providing energy for the ionization of xenon gas in the pulsed xenon lamp.

[0052] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 100 has a refrigerator compartment 110 and a freezer compartment 120 located below the refrigerator compartment 110. The refrigerator compartment 110 and the freezer compartment 120 are separated by a foam layer, and the space of the refrigerator compartment 110 is larger than that of the freezer 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 disposed in the refrigerator compartment 110, and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is disposed in the freezer 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 there are multiple first sterilization and disinfection components 301, multiple first sterilization and disinfection components 301 can be disposed in different areas within the refrigerator compartment 110. The situation of the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is the same as that of 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 refrigerator compartment 110 and the freezer compartment 120. Other types of compartments are also possible. For example, the cabinet 100 may also have a variable temperature compartment located between the refrigerator compartment 110 and the freezer compartment 120. In this case, the variable temperature compartment is separated from both the refrigerator compartment 110 and the freezer compartment 120 by a foam layer. To sterilize the variable temperature compartment, a third sterilization and disinfection component 330 (not shown) can be installed in the variable temperature compartment. The third sterilization and disinfection component 330 is also electrically connected to the power supply component 303. In this case, the power supply component 303 supplies power to the three sterilization and disinfection components 330, achieving a one-to-three configuration.

[0054] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage cabinet also includes a drawer 200. A drawer cover 210 is installed inside the refrigerated compartment 110 of the drawer 200. A certain distance is maintained between the drawer cover 210 and the bottom wall of the compartment, forming a storage unit. The drawer 200 is located within this storage unit, below the drawer cover 210. The top of the drawer 200 is open, and the drawer 200 slides against the bottom or side wall of the compartment. A first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located at the bottom of the drawer cover 210, above the drawer 200. In this configuration, a power supply component 303 is also located within the refrigerated compartment 110. When the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is in operation, because it is located above the drawer 200, it can sterilize the items inside the drawer 200 from above, improving food safety.

[0055] The second sterilization and disinfection component 302 is disposed on the top wall of the freezer compartment 120, below the first sterilization and disinfection component 301. Both the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 and the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 are electrically connected to the power supply component 303 via wires. By disposing of the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 on the top wall of the freezer compartment 120, the length of the wire connecting the second sterilization and disinfection component 302 and the power supply component 303 is shortened. To avoid the wire affecting the process of pulling out the drawer 200, one end of the wire is embedded inside the drawer cover 210, and the other end of the wire is embedded in the foam layer of the cabinet body 100.

[0056] It is also understandable that Figure 5 A bottom view structural diagram of the drawer cover provided in an embodiment of this application is illustrated, as shown below. Figure 5As shown, the length direction of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is the same as the pull-out direction of the drawer 200. Since the length of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is much greater than its width, by aligning the length direction of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 with the pull-out direction of the drawer 200, the width of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 in the pull-out direction perpendicular to the drawer 200 is greatly reduced. This effectively reduces the contact area between the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 and the food inside the drawer 200, preventing interference between the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 and the food, which would hinder the normal pull-out and push-in of the drawer 200.

[0057] Similarly, the second sterilization component 302 can be configured in the same way as the first sterilization component 301, that is, the length direction of the second sterilization component 302 is the same as the length direction of the first sterilization component 301. This configuration effectively reduces the contact area between the second sterilization component 302 and the food, preventing interference between the second sterilization component 302 and the food and thus avoiding obstruction of the normal pulling out and pushing in of the drawer 200. Furthermore, a recess can be provided in the top wall of the freezer compartment 120, and the second sterilization component 302 can be embedded in the recess, which also reduces the contact between the second sterilization component 302 and the food.

[0058] It is also understandable that the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is detachably connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210. By making the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 detachably connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210, it is more convenient to replace and repair the first sterilization and disinfection component 301.

[0059] It is also understandable that when there is one drawer 200 below the drawer cover 210, the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located at the center of the bottom of the drawer cover 210. When there are two drawers 200 below the drawer cover 210, the two first sterilization and disinfection components 301 are spaced apart at the bottom of the drawer cover 210, and each first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located directly above the corresponding drawer 200.

[0060] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization and disinfection component 330 is electrically connected to the power supply component 303 via wires, allowing the power supply component 303 and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 to be installed separately. This avoids the space-consuming integrated structure of the power supply component 303 and the sterilization and disinfection component 330, thus improving the utilization rate of the room space. Furthermore, because the power supply component 303 and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are installed separately, the sterilization and disinfection component 300 can be compatible with drawers 200 of different room sizes, improving the versatility of the sterilization and disinfection component 300 and reducing production costs.

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

[0062] It is also understood that the power supply component 303 is located on the outside of the cabinet 100. The power supply component 303 is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection component 330 via a wire. Since the power supply component 303 is located on the outside of the cabinet 100, the influence of moisture on the power supply component 303 can be effectively avoided. It is also understood that the storage cabinet also includes a door and a hinge cover 130. The door is provided at the opening and is connected to the cabinet 100 via a hinge assembly to open or close the opening. The hinge cover 130 covers the corresponding hinge assembly. Specifically, the hinge cover 130 covers 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 component 303 is located inside the hinge cover 130.

[0063] According to the embodiments of this application, the power supply component 303 is disposed inside the hinge cover 130. Since the hinge cover 130 is located outside the compartment, the power supply component 303 carrying high voltage is installed outside the storage cabinet, avoiding the influence of moisture inside the compartment, reducing the risk of leakage, and improving the safety of the storage cabinet. Since there is no need to set a sealing structure, the production cost is reduced and the product competitiveness is enhanced.

[0064] It is also understood that the hinge cover 130 is located at the top of the cabinet 100. Specifically, the bottom of the hinge cover 130 has an opening, and the hinge cover 130 closes to the top of the cabinet 100 to enclose the power supply component 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 screw holes, and the hinge cover 130 is connected to the cabinet 100 through screws in the screw holes. Of course, the detachable connection method between the hinge cover 130 and the cabinet 100 is not limited to this; it can also be connected by a snap-fit ​​and a latch, or by other detachable connection methods. By making the hinge cover 130 detachably connected to the cabinet 100, it is convenient to maintain the power supply component 303 inside the hinge cover 130.

[0065] It is also understandable 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 open or closed is installed inside the hinge cover 130. Integrating the door sensor and the power supply assembly 303 inside the hinge cover 130 facilitates standardized production, simplifies the structure of the storage cabinet, and reduces production costs.

[0066] It is also understandable that the power supply assembly 303 is horizontally positioned inside the hinge cover 130, and is suspended within the hinge cover 130. The power supply assembly 303 is connected to the inner wall of the hinge cover 130 by clips or screws. All electronic components of the power supply assembly 303 are located at its bottom. This arrangement vertically blocks dust and moisture, preventing accidents to the power supply assembly 303.

[0067] It is also understandable that Figure 4 A schematic diagram illustrating the positional relationship between the drawer and the drawer cover provided in an embodiment of this application is illustrated, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the drawer cover 210 has an internal mounting cavity 221, which is suitable for mounting the control panel. The power supply component 303 is disposed within the mounting cavity 221. The mounting cavity 221 inside the drawer cover 210 allows both the control panel and the power supply component 303 to be housed within it. This placement of the power supply component 303 within the mounting cavity 221 offers several advantages: Firstly, the shorter wire length connecting the control panel and the power supply component 303 eliminates the need for additional space, facilitating the operation of the sterilization and disinfection unit 300 for food sterilization via the control panel. Secondly, the simultaneous location of the control panel and the power supply component 303 within the mounting cavity 221 results in a more compact storage cabinet structure, improving the space utilization of the compartment.

[0068] It is also understandable that the mounting cavity 221 is located on the side of the drawer cover 210 near the opening. When food or other items need to be stored, the user places the food or other items into the drawer 200 through the opening. Since the mounting cavity 221 is located on the side of the drawer cover 210 near the opening, that is, the control panel is located on the side of the drawer cover 210 near the opening, it is more convenient to operate the sterilization and disinfection component 300 through the control panel after placing food.

[0069] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 5 As shown, the mounting cavity 221 protrudes downwards and forms a protrusion at the bottom of the drawer cover 210. The first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is located on the side of the protrusion facing away from the opening. By placing the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 on the side of the protrusion facing away from the opening, the space on the side of the protrusion facing away from the opening is fully utilized, the volume of the bottom protrusion of the drawer cover 210 is reduced, the usable space of the drawer 200 is increased, and more food can be placed. At the same time, the protrusion can be used to shield the first sterilization and disinfection component 301, reducing the impact of food on the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 when the drawer 200 is pushed in.

[0070] It is understandable that, such as Figure 4As shown, a fixing part is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 221, and the power supply assembly 303 is positioned and engaged with the fixing part. The positioning and engagement of the fixing part with the power supply assembly 303 simplifies the installation steps of the power supply assembly 303 and also secures the power supply assembly 303, preventing displacement. Specifically, the fixing part is a fixing groove provided on the bottom wall of the power supply assembly 303, and the power supply assembly 303 is embedded in the fixing groove. Alternatively, the fixing part is a positioning post provided on the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 221, and the power supply assembly 303 has a positioning hole, in which the positioning post is embedded.

[0071] It is understandable that, such as Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the protrusion. Since the thickness of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 is less than or equal to the thickness of the protrusion, 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 protrusion, this can avoid affecting the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 during the process of pushing the drawer 200 in or out.

[0072] The first sterilization and disinfection component 301 has a guide slope 350 on the side away from the opening, and the guide slope 350 is inclined from the opening toward the drawer cover 210. During the movement of food inside the drawer 200, the guide slope 350 on the side of the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 away from the opening reduces interference from the food inside the drawer 200, facilitating the smooth extraction of the drawer 200.

[0073] Understandable, Figure 6 A three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the sterilization and disinfection component provided in the embodiments of this application is illustrated, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the power supply assembly 303 also includes quick connectors, through which the circuit board is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection component 330. Using quick connectors to connect the circuit board to the sterilization and disinfection component 330 simplifies the connection process and improves the assembly efficiency of the locker.

[0074] The quick connector includes a terminal block 340 and a socket. The terminal block 340 is electrically connected to the sterilization and disinfection component 330 via a wire. The circuit board has a socket, and the terminal block 340 is plugged into the socket, thus achieving electrical connection between the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330. Because the terminal block 340 and the socket are plugged in, it facilitates electrical connection between the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330, simplifying the assembly of the sterilization and disinfection component 300. Alternatively, the terminal block 340 can be electrically connected to the circuit board via a wire, and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 can have a socket, which the terminal block 340 can then plug into.

[0075] It should be noted that the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are electrically connected by the terminal block 340 and the socket. This connection can be between the circuit board and the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 or between the circuit board and the second sterilization and disinfection component 302.

[0076] It is also understandable that the sidewall of the protrusion is provided with a wire-passing hole, through which the wire passes. A sealing element is provided between the wire and the wire-passing hole, which is suitable for sealing the gap between the wire and the wall of the wire-passing hole. Of course, sealant can also be used to seal the wire-passing hole. By providing a wire-passing hole, the length of the wire between the circuit board and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 is shortened, which reduces production costs and makes the structure of the sterilization and disinfection component 300 more compact. By sealing the gap between the wire and the wall of the wire-passing hole with the sealing element, a sealed cavity is formed inside the mounting cavity 221, preventing external moisture from entering the mounting cavity 221 through the gap between the wire and the wall of the wire-passing hole, thereby damaging the circuit board or control panel.

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

[0078] Understandably, the length of the recess is greater than the width of the sterilization and disinfection component 330. During the movement of the drawer 200 in and out of its opening, the drawer 200 will wobble. Because the length of the recess is greater than the width of the sterilization and disinfection component 330, the drawer 200 will not collide with the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 when it wobbles, thus preventing damage to the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 during the movement of the drawer 200 in and out of its opening.

[0079] It is also understood that the power supply component 303 is located in one of the compartments. In this embodiment, both the power supply component 303 and the first sterilization and disinfection component 301 are located in the refrigeration compartment 110. The power supply component 303 includes a housing and a circuit board, and the housing has an internal cavity. The circuit board is encapsulated in the housing and is electrically connected to each sterilization and disinfection component 330. Specifically, the housing is located in the mounting cavity 221, and the housing is positioned and fitted with the fixing part.

[0080] The shell is made of fire-resistant material to prevent fire accidents caused by the circuit board overheating, thus improving the safety of the locker. Since the shell and the sterilization and disinfection component 330 are set separately, the shell can be set in the installation cavity 221 of different sizes, and the shape of the shell can be set as needed.

[0081] It is also understandable that the cavity's inner wall is filled with colloid between it and the circuit board to fix the circuit board inside the cavity.

[0082] According to the embodiments of this application, the locker encapsulates the circuit board in the cavity of the housing using colloid, eliminating the need for sealing with sealant, thus simplifying the structural design of the housing. It is applicable to housings with different structures and has the advantages of simple structure, low production cost and high manufacturability.

[0083] It is understood that the circuit board contains capacitors, which can be positioned perpendicular to or parallel to the circuit board. To reduce the thickness of the circuit board, in this embodiment, the capacitors are positioned parallel to the circuit board, meaning the central axis of the capacitors is parallel to the circuit board. The housing has vent holes, the location of which is determined by the position of the capacitor's tail; they can be located on the side wall, top, or bottom of the housing. A channel is formed inside the colloid connecting the capacitor's tail to the vent holes. Since the solidification of the colloid can cause problems with the explosion-proof venting of the capacitor's tail, preventing it from venting at the designated location in case of an accident, a channel is provided inside the colloid to allow the capacitor to vent in case of an accident, improving the stability and safety of the sterilization component 300. To ensure timely discharge of leaked gas, the inner diameter of the channel is greater than or equal to the diameter of the capacitor's tail.

[0084] Understandably, the channel is filled with a flexible pad, which has multiple vent holes. The flexible pad is made of soft materials such as sponge, EVA, or foam. The flexible pad ensures that leaked gas from the capacitor can be discharged promptly and prevents external impurities from entering and clogging the channel. Alternatively, if a flexible pad is not used in the channel, a filter can be installed at the vent hole; a metal material is preferred for the filter.

[0085] Understandably, the vent is located on the side wall of the casing near the capacitor's tail, and the central axis of the vent is aligned with the central axis of the capacitor. Since capacitor leakage occurs at the capacitor's tail, placing the vent on the side wall of the casing near the capacitor's tail effectively shortens the channel length, ensuring timely discharge of leaked gas. Furthermore, aligning the central axis of the vent with the central axis of the capacitor further shortens the channel length, reducing resistance to leaked gas within the channel.

[0086] It's also understandable that the housing has recessed grooves that curve inwards, with each groove corresponding to a point where the circuit board thickness is minimum. Since an adhesive is used to seal the internal space of the housing, the adhesive fills the entire interior. However, because some areas of the circuit board lack electronic components, and because each component has a different height, the adhesive thickness varies in different areas. At the points where the circuit board thickness is minimum—areas without electronic components—the adhesive thickness is at its maximum. Filling these areas with a thicker adhesive would result in waste. By creating grooves on the housing corresponding to the points of minimum circuit board thickness, the recessed grooves reduce the adhesive thickness at these points, preventing waste, reducing adhesive usage, and lowering production costs. Furthermore, the grooves also act as reinforcing ribs, enhancing the structural strength of the housing.

[0087] It is also 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 aluminum, copper, aluminum alloy, and other metal materials. The heat sink enhances the heat dissipation capacity of the housing, allowing the heat generated by the circuit board to be dissipated in a timely manner, avoiding the occurrence of fire accidents caused by the inability to dissipate heat in time, and improving the safety of the sterilization and disinfection component 300.

[0088] It is also understandable 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 a timely manner to cool the heat sink and improve the heat dissipation capacity of the heat sink.

[0089] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 6 As shown, the sterilization and disinfection component 330 includes a bracket 333 and a sterilization and disinfection lamp 332. The bracket 333 provides a mounting base for the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 and protects it from damage caused by external impact. The bracket 333 is hollow inside and is located at the bottom of the drawer cover 210. The length direction of the bracket 333 is the same as the direction in which the drawer 200 is pulled out. The bracket 333 can be fixedly connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210 or detachably connected. To simplify the number of parts, the bracket 333 can also be integrally formed with the bottom of the drawer cover 210. 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. The bracket 333 can be semi-embedded in the recess to avoid interference between the bracket 333 and food during the pulling out and pushing in of the drawer 200, thus preventing the drawer 200 from being pulled out and pushed in normally.

[0090] The bracket 333 has a light-transmitting hole on the side facing the drawer 200, through which light emitted from the sterilization lamp 332 enters the interior of the drawer 200. The sterilization lamp 332 is positioned within the bracket 333 along its length, corresponding to the position of the light-transmitting hole. The sterilization lamp 332 is electrically connected to a circuit board, which supplies power to the lamp, enabling it to sterilize the items inside the drawer 200.

[0091] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 6 As shown, the sterilization and disinfection assembly 330 also includes a reflector 331, which surrounds the side of the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 away from the light-transmitting hole. 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 diffuses in all directions, the reflector 331 can reflect the light emitted by the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332 back to the light-transmitting hole, and then enter the interior of the drawer 200 through the light-transmitting hole, thereby enhancing the sterilization effect of the sterilization and disinfection lamp 332.

[0092] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 6 As shown, the reflector 331 has a semi-circular or trapezoidal cross-section. This design can reflect light from multiple directions into the interior of the drawer 200, enhancing the sterilization effect.

[0093] It is also understandable that the bracket 333 is detachably connected to the bottom of the drawer cover 210. This detachable connection facilitates 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 via screws in these holes. Alternatively, the bracket 333 and the bottom of the drawer cover 210 can be connected via a snap-fit ​​mechanism and a latch. For example, both ends of the bracket 333 may have latches, and the bottom of the drawer cover 210 may have a snap-fit ​​mechanism, with the latches engaging with the latches.

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

[0095] It is also understandable that, such as 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 a guide slope 350 on the side of the bracket 333 away from the opening, the interference of food in the drawer 200 with the sterilization and disinfection component 330 can be reduced, making it easier to pull out the drawer 200 smoothly.

[0096] It is also understandable that, such as Figure 6As shown, the germicidal lamp 332 includes a lamp body, a lamp tube, and a rubber head. The lamp tube is hollow inside, and at least one end of the lamp tube has an installation port. The lamp body is disposed inside 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 disposed at at least one end of the lamp tube; in this embodiment, rubber heads are provided at both ends of the lamp tube. The rubber head is suitable for sealing the end of the lamp tube to encapsulate the lamp body inside the lamp tube. At least one of the lamp tube and the rubber head is made of fire-retardant material. Because the lamp tube and the rubber head are made of fire-retardant material, the larger bracket 333 does not need to use expensive fire-retardant material, thereby reducing the cost of the germicidal component 300 and improving product competitiveness.

[0097] It is also understandable that the materials used in the lamp tube and the rubber head are food-grade materials. During the process of pulling out and pushing in drawer 200, even if food comes into contact with the lamp tube and / or the rubber head, it will not affect the safety of the food, thus improving the safety of the storage cabinet. Specifically, the lamp tube is made of 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, such as 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 engagement between the rubber head and the inner wall of the bracket 333. By providing positioning engagement between the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove, the installation of the sterilization lamp 332 can be facilitated.

[0099] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
