[0002] A condensation seat is used when dehumidifying the disinfection cabinet. Fins are provided inside the condensation seat. By lowering the internal temperature of the condensation seat, condensation water is formed on the fins, and then the condensation water is discharged to the outside of the condensation seat, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the humidity in the disinfection cabinet.

[0003] In order to drain the condensed water from the condensation seat, a drain pipe can only be set on the condensation seat to collect and process the condensed water. The drain pipe not only takes up a lot of space, but also cannot be effectively utilized because the amount of condensed water is not large, resulting in a low cost-effectiveness of setting up the drain pipe.

[0037] Example:

[0038] See also Figure 5-Figure 6 The present embodiment provides a disinfection cabinet, including a cabinet body 9 and a dehumidification component. A avoidance opening is provided on the rear side wall of the cabinet body 9, and the dehumidification component is installed at the avoidance opening to reduce the humidity in the cabinet body 9.

[0039] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The dehumidification component includes a first substrate 1, a front cover 2, a semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3, a condensing element 6 and a water absorbing element 4.

[0040] The front cover 2 covers the front surface of the first substrate 1, and the front cover 2 and the first substrate 1 are arranged to form a condensation chamber. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 and the condensation element 6 are both arranged in the condensation chamber, wherein the heating surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 is attached to the front surface of the first substrate 1, so that the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 can increase the temperature of the first substrate 1, and correspondingly, the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 can reduce the temperature in the condensation chamber, so as to facilitate the water vapor in the condensation chamber to form condensed water on the condensation element 6. A drainage hole 11 is provided on the first substrate 1, one end of the drainage hole 11 is connected to the condensation chamber, and the other end is connected to the back of the first substrate 1. A liquid guide surface 21 is provided in the condensation chamber, and the condensed water formed on the condensation element 6 is first transferred to the liquid guide surface 21. Under the guidance of the liquid guide surface 21, the condensed water flows to the drainage hole 11 and is transferred to the back of the first substrate 1. The water absorbent 4 is installed on the back of the first substrate 1. The water absorbent 4 generally has a strong water absorption capacity, such as a sponge. After the condensed water reaches the back of the first substrate 1, it is absorbed by the water absorbent 4, so that the condensed water is stored by the water absorbent 4. Since the heating surface of the semiconductor cooling sheet 3 increases the temperature of the first substrate 1, the first substrate 1 can further increase the temperature of the water absorbent 4, thereby facilitating the evaporation of water in the water absorbent 4.

[0041] The dehumidification component of this embodiment effectively converts the water vapor in the condensation chamber into condensed water through the cooperation of the semiconductor cooling sheet 3 and the condensation member 6, thereby reducing the humidity in the condensation chamber. The condensed water is discharged to the outside of the condensation chamber under the guidance of the liquid guide surface 21 and absorbed and stored by the water absorbent member 4. The semiconductor cooling sheet 3 can increase the temperature of the water absorbent member 4 through the first substrate 1, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the condensed water in the water absorbent member 4, thereby achieving the cleaning of the condensed water. Therefore, the working process of the dehumidification component of this embodiment can be regarded as the process of transferring water vapor from the inside to the outside of the dehumidification component.

[0042] See also Figure 4-Figure 6 , a ventilation hole 22 connected to the condensation chamber is provided on the front cover 2, and the condensation chamber is at least partially located in the cabinet 9, so the water vapor in the cabinet 9 can continuously enter the condensation chamber through the ventilation hole 22, thereby continuously forming condensed water on the condensation member 6, thereby reducing the humidity in the cabinet 9. Since the water absorbing member 4 is located outside the cabinet 9, the condensed water in the cabinet 9 will eventually be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 9 and converted into water vapor for cleaning.

[0043] The dehumidification component of this embodiment simultaneously realizes the collection and processing process of condensed water, reducing the complexity of the user's operation when dehumidifying the disinfection cabinet, and there is no need to use a drain pipe during the dehumidification process, thereby maintaining the space occupied by the disinfection cabinet at a low level.

[0044] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the liquid guiding surface 21 is a V-shaped surface. In some other embodiments, the liquid guiding surface 21 may also be a U-shaped surface, wherein the drainage hole 11 is located at the end of the liquid guiding surface 21. The opening formed by the liquid guiding surface 21 is oriented in the first direction, and the projection of the condensation element 6 in the first direction is located within the projection of the liquid guiding surface 21 in the first direction. During the operation of the dehumidification component, the first direction is generally a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Accordingly, the condensation element 6 is located directly above the liquid guiding surface 21. The condensed water formed on the condensation element 6 can naturally fall to the liquid guiding surface 21 under the action of gravity, and the condensed water on the liquid guiding surface 21 will also naturally flow to the bottom of the liquid guiding surface 21 under the action of gravity, and then flow from the rear end of the bottom of the liquid guiding surface 21 to the drainage hole 11.

[0045] The condensation element 6 is generally in the form of a sheet, and there are at least two condensation elements 6 that are spaced apart. The gaps between adjacent condensation elements 6 allow condensation water to form on the surface of the condensation element 6. The condensation element 6 extends along the first direction so that the condensation element 6 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane during the operation of the dehumidification component. Accordingly, the condensation water formed on the condensation element 6 can be transferred to the liquid guide surface 21 more quickly. On the other hand, all condensation elements 6 extend along the first direction so that the projections of different condensation elements 6 in the first direction will not block each other. Under the action of gravity, the condensation water dripping from one of the condensation elements 6 can be directly transferred to the liquid guide surface 21 without dripping onto another condensation element 6. Therefore, the design that the condensation element 6 is in the form of a sheet and extends along the first direction effectively improves the efficiency of transferring the condensation water from the inside of the condensation chamber to the water absorbing element 4.

[0046] The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 is an electronic device. In order to increase safety, it is necessary to avoid the formation of condensed water on the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 as much as possible. Therefore, the dehumidification component of this embodiment also includes a second substrate 5. The back of the second substrate 5 is very close to the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3, or is in contact with the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3, and the edge of the condensation member 6 is fixed on the front of the second substrate 5. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 can reduce the temperature of the condensation member 6 through the second substrate 5, so that the condensation member 6 is the lower temperature point or the lowest temperature point in the condensation chamber, so that the position where the condensed water is generated in the condensation chamber is concentrated on the condensation member 6 as much as possible, so that all the condensed water can be transferred to the liquid guide surface 21 as much as possible and then transferred to the water absorbing member 4. The second substrate 5 shields the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3, thereby reducing or avoiding the contact between the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3 and water vapor, and correspondingly, it also reduces or avoids the generation of water vapor at the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 3.

[0047] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The dehumidification assembly also includes an insulation ring 7 arranged around the semiconductor cooling sheet 3, and the back of the second substrate 5 is attached to the insulation ring 7. The semiconductor cooling sheet 3 is thin, so the distance between the front of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 5 is small. The insulation ring 7 can reduce or block the heat exchange between the part of the front of the first substrate 1 at the edge of the semiconductor cooling sheet 3 and the second substrate 5. The heating surface of the semiconductor cooling sheet 3 directly adheres to the front of the first substrate 1, so the temperature of the front of the first substrate 1 at the edge of the semiconductor cooling sheet 3 is relatively high. The insulation ring 7 can effectively reduce the heat transfer from the front of the first substrate 1 to the second substrate 5, so that the condensation element 6 can be maintained at a lower temperature, which is conducive to the formation of condensed water.

[0048] In order to ensure that the condensed water on the liquid guiding surface 21 can flow to the drainage hole 11, the front end of the liquid guiding surface 21 is fixed on the inner wall of the front cover 2, and the front end of the liquid guiding surface 21 needs to avoid the ventilation hole 22. The front end of the liquid guiding surface 21 is blocked by the inner wall of the front cover 2, and the rear end edge of the liquid guiding surface 21 abuts against the front side of the first substrate 1, so that the condensed water at the bottom of the liquid guiding surface 21 can only flow to the drainage hole 11.

[0049] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, the dehumidification assembly further includes a plurality of heat sinks 8, the edges of which are fixed to the back of the first substrate 1. The heat sinks 8 help dissipate heat from the first substrate 1 to prevent the first substrate 1 from being overheated and affecting the performance of the disinfection cabinet. In order to increase the heat conducted to the water absorbing member 4 and improve the evaporation rate of the condensed water stored in the water absorbing member 4, at least part of the heat sinks 8 will be in contact with the water absorbing member 4.

[0050] In other embodiments, the end of the drainage hole 11 on the back side of the first substrate 1 may be directly above the water absorbent 4, so that the condensed water flowing out of the end of the drainage hole 11 naturally falls on the water absorbent 4 under the action of gravity and is absorbed. In this embodiment, in order to allow the condensed water flowing out of the drainage hole 11 to be fully absorbed by the water absorbent 4, the water absorbent 4 is blocked at the end of the drainage hole 11.

[0051] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
