[0002] A heating tube is provided in the disinfection cabinet to heat and dry the tableware in the cavity of the disinfection cabinet, and the disinfection lamp is used for disinfection and sterilization. Considering the protectiveness of the heating tube, a protective cover will be provided on the outer side of the heating tube to prevent the tableware from directly contacting the heating element. However, due to the setting of the protective cover, the heat diffusion of the heating tube will be affected, resulting in partial heat loss. At the same time, in order to facilitate the opening of the door of the disinfection cabinet, an external handle or an embedded handle will be provided on the door. The external handle is easy to collide with the user, causing injury to the user, and the embedded handle is easy to hide dirt and is troublesome to clean. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may also be a central component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in the specification of this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0032] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0033] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly in contact with the second feature, or the first feature and the second feature are indirectly in 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.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0035] Most of the disinfection cabinets in the related art include a cabinet body and a door body movably connected to the cabinet body. For example, the door body can be hinged to the cabinet body by hinges, and multiple hinges are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet body. At the same time, the disinfection cabinet also includes a chamber installed in the cabinet body for storing tableware; and the disinfection cabinet also includes a heating lamp and a disinfection lamp, which are respectively used to dry and disinfect the tableware in the chamber. The door body is opened relative to the cabinet body for taking and placing tableware; and after the door body is closed, it can be used for drying and disinfection.

[0036] In actual use, in order to facilitate the opening of the door body, a handle is usually set on the door body, such as a protruding external handle, or an embedded handle set in a groove shape on the door body. However, the external handle is easy to bump into the user, which poses a safety risk; and the built-in handle is inconvenient to clean, easy to hide dirt, and there are safety hazards in long-term use. At the same time, considering the protection of the heating lamp, a cover shell installed on the outside of the heating lamp is usually set to prevent the tableware from directly touching the heating lamp. However, the setting of the cover shell is bound to consume some heat. If a smaller heating power is used, it is not enough to fully dry. If the heating power is increased, the cover shell is prone to overheating. In the related art, a movable cover shell is used to facilitate the adjustment of the position relative to the heating lamp. However, since the opening of the door body depends on the needs of the user, this leads to the situation that the cover shell does not cover the heating lamp when the door body is opened, so there is still a risk of damage. Even if some means choose to connect the movable cover shell to the door body, the cover shell can be driven to move when the door body is opened and closed, so as to facilitate the timely adjustment of the position of the cover shell. However, such a setting still cannot solve the current situation that the door body needs a handle to open.

[0037] Therefore, how to provide a disinfection cabinet that does not require a handle and can be easily covered by a cover when the door is opened has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0038] Based on this, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a disinfection cabinet, which, in addition to the aforementioned cabinet body 10, cabinet body 60 and door body 20, also includes a heating structure 30 and a door lock structure 40. The heating structure 30 includes a heating element 31 and a protective cover 32 movably connected to the heating element 31, and the door lock structure 40 is connected to the protective cover 32 and is configured to move relative to the door body 20 in response to the movement of the protective cover 32. The door lock structure 40 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the unlocked state, the protective cover 32 blocks the side of the heating element 31 facing the side to be dried, and the door lock structure 40 contacts the door body 20 to open a first gap. In the locked state, the protective cover 32 releases the shielding of the heating element 31 to expose the heating element 31, and the door body 20 is locked with the door lock structure 40.

[0039] That is to say, the disinfection cabinet provided in this embodiment combines the position adjustment of the protective cover 32 relative to the heating element 31 with the movement of the door lock structure 40 relative to the door body 20 (i.e., locking and unlocking). When the door body 20 needs to be opened, the protective cover 32 can be driven to move to shield the heating element 31 to prevent the heating element 31 from being bumped or damaged when the door body 20 is opened to take and place tableware; and, when the protective cover 32 moves, the door lock structure 40 can be driven to move so that the door lock structure 40 touches the door body 20 to open the first gap, that is, to assist the door body 20 to open, so that the user can hold the door body 20 and pull it open. When it is necessary to dry the tableware, after the door body 20 is closed, the protective cover 32 moves to release the shielding of the heating element 31, and the heating element 31 is exposed, and its heat can be fully transferred to the gallbladder cavity 601; and, the movement of the protective cover 32 drives the door lock structure 40 to move, so as to lock and cooperate with the door body 20 to ensure the airtightness when the door body 20 is closed.

[0040] That is to say, the disinfection cabinet provided in this embodiment can drive the door lock structure 40 to move to cooperate with the door body 20 by using the movement of the protective cover 32 relative to the heating element 31. Specifically, the door lock structure 40 can be driven to touch the door body 20 to open, so there is no need to set a handle on the outside of the door body 20, reducing the risk of collision; and, after the door body 20 opens the first gap, the user can hold the edge of the door body 20. Compared with the built-in handle, the edge of the door body 20 is directly exposed to the user's field of vision, which is convenient for cleaning and alleviates the problem of dirt and grime. At the same time, after the door body 20 is closed, the door lock structure 40 can be driven to move to lock with the door body 20 to ensure sealing. Therefore, the disinfection cabinet provided in this embodiment, on the one hand, on the basis of satisfying the protection of the heating element 31, does not need to set a handle on the door body 20, reduces the risk of collision, and alleviates the problem of dirt and grime caused by the handle; on the other hand, the protective cover 32 will not interfere with the heat transfer of the heating element 31 during drying, and improves the heat utilization rate, so as to fully dry the tableware.

[0041] It should be noted that the aforementioned side to be dried refers to the side of the heating element 31 facing the tableware.

[0042] Please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Fig.10In some embodiments, the heating element 31 is a heating tube. The axial direction of the heating element 31 is the X-axis direction, the depth direction of the disinfection cabinet is the Y-axis direction, and the height direction of the disinfection cabinet is the Z-axis direction. The protective cover 32 can be rotatably connected to the heating element 31, that is, the protective cover 32 rotates around the axis of the heating element 31 to adjust the position and achieve shielding and unshielding. Among them, the protective cover 32 is arranged in an arc shape that matches the shape of the heating element 31. The protective cover 32 has a connecting portion 3203 and a mounting ring 3204, and the mounting ring 3204 is sleeved on the tube seat of the heating element 31 and is rotatably connected to the tube seat, and a bushing can be sleeved on the tube seat. The protective cover 32 is provided with connecting portions 3203 at both ends of the axial direction of the heating element 31, and each connecting portion 3203 corresponds to a mounting ring 3204, and each mounting ring 3204 is sleeved on the corresponding tube seat on the same side. The connecting portion 3203 is fan-shaped to increase the radial spacing between the heating element 31 and the protective cover 32.

[0043] In actual use, the heating element 31 is provided with mounting seats 74 at both ends along its axial direction to support the heating element 31 and the protective cover 32. At this time, the protective cover 32 can also be directly rotatably connected to the mounting seats 74.

[0044] The following description is made by taking the example that the heating element 31 is a heating tube and the protective cover 32 is rotatably connected to the heating element 31 .

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 4 , exemplarily, the door body 20 is provided with a lock tongue 21 and a top contact protrusion 22, which are arranged at intervals. The door lock structure 40 includes at least a lock member 41, and the lock member 41 can move with the protective cover 32. The lock member 41 has a first position and a second position arranged at intervals. In the first position, the lock member 41 contacts the top contact protrusion 22 to open the door body 20 to a first gap. In the second position, the lock member 41 is locked and matched with the lock tongue 21. Among them, the spacing direction between the lock tongue 21 and the top contact protrusion 22 is the same as the spacing direction between the first position and the second position, and both are along the moving direction of the lock member 41. For example, if the lock member 41 moves along the Z-axis direction under the action of the protective cover 32, the lock tongue 21 and the top contact protrusion 22, the first position and the second position are all spaced along the Z-axis direction. The first position is located on the top contact protrusion 22 downstream of the lock member 41 moving toward the opening direction, and the second position is the position where the lock tongue 21 is located. The locking member 41 moves between the first position and the second position to cooperate with the top contact protrusion 22 and the locking tongue 21 respectively to meet different requirements of the door body 20.

[0046] Further, the locking member 41 includes a top contact portion 4101 and a locking portion 4102, which are arranged opposite to each other along the moving direction of the locking member 41, the locking portion 4102 is locked and matched with the lock tongue 21, and the top contact portion 4101 is in top contact with the top contact protrusion 22. Since the locking member 41 moves between the top contact protrusion 22 and the lock tongue 21, the top contact portion 4101 and the locking portion 4102 are arranged opposite to each other to reduce the interference of the matching. Among them, the lock tongue 21 and the top contact protrusion 22 are both convexly arranged on the side of the door body 20 facing the cabinet body 10. The lock tongue 21 is configured with a lock hole 211, and the locking portion 4102 can be inserted into the lock hole 211 to achieve locking matching. For example, the locking portion 4102 can be a hook-shaped body, or a columnar body.

[0047] At the same time, the top contact portion 4101 and the top contact protrusion 22 are matched by the top contact of the inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined from the locking portion 4102 to the top contact portion 4101 along the thickness direction of the door body 20 (i.e., the Y-axis direction). In other words, the top contact portion 4101 is a first inclined surface, and the top contact protrusion 22 has a second inclined surface. After the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface abut, as the locking member 41 continues to move, the door body 20 can be pushed to open the first inclined surface. The setting of the inclined surface facilitates the change of the force direction, and the locking member 41 does not need to move along the thickness direction of the door body 20, but it can still touch the door body 20 to open. Among them, the top contact protrusion 22 can be a wedge block or a right-angled triangular prism.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the door lock structure 40 is configured to rise and fall in the vertical direction (i.e., the Z-axis direction) in response to the rotation of the protective cover 32. At this time, the lock tongue 21 and the top contact protrusion 22 are arranged at intervals along the Z-axis direction, and the lock tongue 21 can be located below the top contact protrusion 22 as an example. The locking member 41 moves up along the Z-axis direction to contact the inclined surface of the top contact protrusion 22, and then contacts the door body 20 to open the first gap; the locking member 41 moves down along the Z-axis direction to lock and cooperate with the lock tongue 21 to achieve locking of the door body 20. Of course, it is also possible that the lock tongue 21 is located above the top contact protrusion 22, and the cooperation direction of the locking member 41 is opposite. In this embodiment, the locking member 41 cooperates with the inclined surface of the top contact protrusion 22, and the force of the locking member 41 along the Z-axis direction can be transferred to the Y-axis direction.

[0049] Alternatively, the door lock structure 40 is configured to swing between the lock tongue 21 and the top contact protrusion 22 in response to the rotation of the protective cover 32. At this time, the protrusion length of the top contact protrusion 22 can be greater than the protrusion length of the lock tongue 21, which is more conducive to fully cooperating with the locking member 41 to achieve the top contact door body 20 opening.

[0050] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4, illustratively, the door lock structure 40 also includes a transmission member 42 connected to the locking member 41. The disinfection cabinet also includes a driving mechanism 50, which is connected to the protective cover 32, and the driving mechanism 50 is connected to the transmission member 42, so as to meet the simultaneous driving of the protective cover 32 and the transmission member 42. Among them, the driving mechanism 50 includes a first transmission unit 51 and a second transmission unit 52, which are connected in transmission, and the first transmission unit 51 is connected to the protective cover 32, and the second transmission unit 52 is connected to the transmission member 42. In actual use, the driving mechanism 50 also includes a power source 53, which is connected to the first transmission unit 51 for power input.

[0051] Further, the first transmission unit 51 includes a driving gear 511 and a driven gear ring 512, the power source 53 is connected to the driving gear 511, the driving gear 511 is meshed with the driven gear ring 512 for transmission, and the driven gear ring 512 is connected to the pipe seat and connected to the mounting ring 3204. In this way, the protective cover 32 can be driven to rotate. The power source 53 is a motor. The diameter of the driven gear ring 512 is larger than the diameter of the driving gear 511 to ensure that the rotation speed of the protective cover 32 is low; and a bushing can be set on the pipe seat to meet the rotation connection between the mounting ring 3204 and the driven gear ring 512. The second transmission unit 52 adopts a belt transmission group, including two pulleys and a transmission belt 521 tightened on the two pulleys. The two pulleys are respectively a first pulley 524 and a second pulley 522, the first pulley 524 rotates coaxially with the driven gear ring 512 to drive the second pulley 522 to rotate through the transmission belt 521, and the second pulley 522 is connected to the transmission member 42. The first pulley 524 and the second pulley 522 are both configured with wheel grooves to facilitate the assembly and positioning of the transmission belt 521. The first pulley 524 can be directly the mounting ring 3204.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 4 Optionally, the transmission member 42 is a pull rope. Specifically, the second pulley 522 is supported by a wheel seat and is connected to the wheel seat by a wheel shaft 523. The pull rope is arranged in an L shape, and has a connecting end and a hanging end. The hanging end is connected to the locking member 41, and the connecting end is connected to the second pulley 522. The rotation of the second pulley 522 can cause the pull rope to be wound around the wheel shaft 523 or loosened.

[0053] In actual use, the protective cover 32 rotates under the action of the first transmission unit 51 to drive the first pulley 524 to rotate synchronously, and the second pulley 522 also rotates accordingly. For example, rotation. For example, when the second pulley 522 rotates clockwise, the pull rope is wound relative to the axle 523, causing the length of the end of the pull rope toward the locking member 41 to shorten, and the locking member 41 moves up accordingly; conversely, the second pulley 522 rotates counterclockwise, and the pull rope is loosened relative to the axle 523, causing the length of the end connected to the locking member 41 to increase, and the locking member 41 moves down accordingly. Of course, the second pulley 522 can also rotate counterclockwise to drive the locking member 41 to move down, and rotate clockwise to drive the locking member 41 to move up. This is just an example.

[0054] Alternatively, the pull rope may also be arranged only in the vertical direction. At this time, the transmission member 42 also includes a transmission rack, and the second pulley 522 is coaxially provided with a transmission gear to mesh with the transmission rack, so as to drive the transmission rack to move along the Z-axis direction, and then drive the locking member 41 to rise and fall through the pull rope.

[0055] Alternatively, the transmission member 42 may be a transmission rack directly. In this case, the cooperation between the transmission rack and the second transmission unit 52 is similar to that of the transmission rack described above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Alternatively, the first transmission unit 51 and the second transmission unit 52 may both be belt transmission groups, and the protective cover 32 rotates coaxially with a pulley in the first transmission unit 51 and a pulley in the second transmission belt 521. Alternatively, both the first transmission unit 51 and the second transmission unit 52 are gear transmissions. This is just an example.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 5 In another optional embodiment, the driving mechanism 50 further includes a guide member 54, which is arranged at an interval with the second transmission unit 52, and the locking member 41 is slidably connected to the guide member 54 to guide the movement of the locking member 41. Specifically, taking the transmission member 42 as a pull rope as an example, the pull rope is passed through the guide member 54 and tightened between the locking member 41 and the transmission unit. The setting of the guide member 54, on the one hand, changes the arrangement direction of the pull rope, and on the other hand, serves as a movement guide for the locking member 41.

[0058] The guide member 54 is constructed with a guide groove 541 and an escape notch 542 connected to the guide groove 541. The locking member 41 is inserted into the escape notch 542 so that a part of the locking member 41 is accommodated in the guide groove 541 and can move in the guide groove 541 along the Z-axis direction. The locking member 41 includes a sliding cylinder 411, a connecting arm 412 and an actuating head 413. The connecting arm 412 is connected between the sliding cylinder 411 and the actuating head 413. The sliding cylinder 411 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 541, and the hanging end of the pull rope extends into the guide groove 541 to be connected to the sliding cylinder 411. The connecting arm 412 is inserted into the escape notch 542. The locking portion 4102 and the top contact portion 4101 are arranged on both sides of the actuating head 413 along the moving direction. When the locking member 41 moves along the Z-axis direction, the length of the guide groove 541 is along the Z-axis direction, and the locking portion 4102 and the contact portion 4101 are located on both sides of the actuator 413 along the Z-axis direction.

[0059] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , exemplarily, the cabinet body 10 has a cabinet bottom wall 11 and a front panel (not shown in the figure), and the gallbladder body 60 has a gallbladder bottom wall 61. The gallbladder bottom wall 61, the cabinet bottom wall 11 and the front panel jointly define an assembly space 1001. The front panel is configured with a through hole for the locking member 41 to pass through, so as to avoid interference with its movement.

[0060] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In actual use, the disinfection cabinet further includes a mounting bracket 70 mounted in the assembly space 1001. The mounting bracket 70 and the bottom wall 61 of the tank together form an assembly cavity 702, and the heating structure 30 is mounted in the assembly cavity 702. The portion of the mounting bracket 70 located below the diffuser 611 is configured with a liquid collecting cavity 701.

[0061] It can be understood that the installation of the mounting bracket 70 facilitates the assembly of the heating structure 30 relative to the gallbladder body 60 and the cabinet 10. The mounting bracket 70 can be connected to the cabinet 10 or the gallbladder body 60, and the heating structure 30 is supported in the mounting bracket 70 by the mounting seat 74 to improve the protection of the heating structure 30 and avoid the interference between the heating structure 30 and other structures at the bottom of the disinfection cabinet. The mounting bracket 70 includes two first side plates 71 arranged oppositely and spaced along the X-axis direction, two second side plates 72 arranged oppositely and spaced along the Y-axis direction, and a bottom plate 73. The two first side plates 71 and the two second side plates 72 are connected to the bottom plate 73. The spacing between the two second side plates 72 along the Y-axis direction gradually decreases from top to bottom. The two second side plates 72 can also be provided with a radiation surface for the heat radiation of the heating element 31, which is conducive to the full diffusion of heat to various positions of the gallbladder cavity 601 and improves the drying effect; and the radiation surface can also allow the heat to be evenly diffused to the gallbladder bottom wall 61, so as to transfer the heat to the gallbladder cavity 601 through the gallbladder bottom wall 61. At the same time, the gallbladder bottom wall 61 is also constructed with a plurality of diffusion holes 612 arranged at intervals to facilitate sufficient transfer of heat to the gallbladder cavity 601 .

[0062] Among them, the mounting bracket 70 is constructed with an avoidance gap 542 to facilitate the assembly of the transmission belt 521 in the belt drive group. The transmission belt 521 is inserted into the avoidance gap 542 to connect and tension the pulleys at both ends. At the same time, the bottom plate 73 is recessed downward along the Z-axis direction toward one side of the assembly cavity 702 to form a liquid collection cavity 701. When tableware is placed in the bile cavity 601, the water on the tableware drips downward under the action of its own gravity, and can drip into the liquid collection cavity 701 through the diffuser 611, which can be used to collect excess water, and the collected water is used to cool the protective cover 32.

[0063] Optionally, the mounting bracket 70 is connected to a plurality of support seats 75 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the diffuser 611, and a gravity sensor is provided at each support seat 75. That is to say, the weight of the water in the liquid collecting chamber 701 of the mounting bracket 70 can be detected by using the setting of the gravity sensor. When the weight of the water collected in the liquid collecting chamber 701 is greater than a preset threshold value, the water in the liquid collecting chamber 701 needs to be dried. When the gravity sensor detects that the weight of the mounting bracket 70 is less than the target weight value, the above-mentioned drying operation can be stopped. A critical maximum value (i.e., the aforementioned preset threshold value) and a critical minimum value (i.e., the aforementioned target weight value) can be set.

[0064] It is worth noting that the rotation of the protective cover 32 to the diffusion opening 611 is not entirely dependent on the detection signal of the gravity sensor. When the door 20 needs to be opened to take out and put in the dishes, the protective cover 32 can also be rotated to the diffusion opening 611 to achieve the purpose of protecting the heating element 31. Of course, when drying the water in the liquid collecting chamber 701, the protective cover 32 can also be rotated to other positions as long as it does not interfere with the drying of the water in the liquid collecting chamber 701.

[0065] Furthermore, support seats 75 and gravity sensors are respectively installed at the four top corners of the mounting bracket 70 to improve detection accuracy.

[0066] See also Fig.10 Exemplarily, the protective cover 32 includes a cover base 321 and an outer cover body 322 connected to the cover base 321, and the outer cover body 322 is elastically connected to the cover base 321 and is located on the side of the cover base 321 away from the heating element 31. When the protective cover 32 is rotated to the bottom of the heating element 31, at least part of the outer cover body 322 can be accommodated in the liquid collecting chamber 701. Such a setting is equivalent to setting the protective cover 32 as a double layer, increasing the thickness of the protective cover 32 itself, and the heat of the heating element 31 can be transferred to the outer cover body 322 after passing through the cover base 321, so as to avoid the problem of scalding caused by excessive temperature on the side of the outer cover body 322 away from the heating element 31. Among them, the cover base 321 and the outer cover body 322 are both arranged in an arc shape adapted to the heating element 31, and the two ends of the cover base 321 along the X-axis direction are respectively connected with mounting rings 3204.

[0067] Furthermore, a heat insulating gap 323 is provided between the cover base 321 and the outer cover body 322 , that is, to ensure that the outer cover body 322 and the cover base 321 are not in direct contact, so as to form an air layer between the two and reduce heat conduction.

[0068] Furthermore, the outer cover body 322 is elastically connected to the cover base 321, that is, an elastic member 326 is connected between the two. In the shielding state, the outer cover body 322 can be close to the cover base 321 under the action of its own gravity; in the cooling state, the outer cover body 322 can be away from the cover base 321 under the action of its own gravity and at least accommodated in the liquid collecting chamber 701. In other words, through such a setting, the outer cover body 322 can be adaptively in a cooling state during the rotation of the protective cover 32 relative to the heating element 31, thereby improving the cooling effect; and it also plays a buffering effect on items falling onto the protective cover 32. Specifically, when the protective cover 32 is shielded above the heating element 31, even if an item falls onto the protective cover 32, the elastic member 326 can be used to play a buffering role to improve safety. Moreover, when the protective cover 32 rotates to the cooling state, it is convenient for the outer cover body 322 to move downward under its own weight so as to be immersed in the coolant to achieve heat dissipation and cooling.

[0069] Optionally, the cover base 321 is provided with a first column 324, and the outer cover body 322 is provided with a second column 325, and the first column 324 and the second column 325 are slidably connected. Specifically, the first column 324 is configured with an assembly hole, and the second column 325 is inserted in the assembly hole and can move in the assembly hole along the axis of the assembly hole. The plug-in fit of the second column 325 relative to the first column 324 is utilized to guide the movement of the outer cover body 322 relative to the cover base 321; and such a setting also has a limiting effect to prevent the outer cover body 322 from shifting or shaking. The elastic member 326 is a spring, which can be sleeved on the outside of the second column 325 to improve the installation stability of the elastic member 326 and prevent the elastic member 326 from shaking and causing the outer cover body 322 to shift.

[0070] In some specific embodiments, the first column 324 is integrally formed with the cover base 321, and the second column 325 is integrally formed with the outer cover 322. A plurality of heat dissipation protrusions 3201 arranged at intervals along the X-axis direction are convexly provided on the side of the outer cover 322 away from the cover base 321 to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the structural strength of the outer cover 322. A plurality of heat dissipation holes 3202 arranged at intervals are provided at each heat dissipation protrusion 3201 to facilitate the convergence of cooled water to the liquid collecting chamber 701. The end of the first column 324 away from the outer cover 322 extends toward the side close to the heating element 31, and a temperature measuring base 81 is connected to the extended end, the temperature measuring base 81 blocks the assembly hole, and a temperature sensor 82 is provided on the side of the temperature measuring base 81 facing the assembly hole to detect the temperature of the outer cover 322. The temperature measuring base 81 is snap-fitted with the first column 324. The extended end of the first column 324 is provided with a claw to engage with the hole on the temperature measuring base 81 .

[0071] Alternatively, the first column 324 may be connected to the outer cover 322 , and the second column 325 may be connected to the cover base 321 , as long as the outer cover 322 can be guided to move relative to the cover base 321 through the cooperation of the first column 324 and the second column 325 .

[0072] See also Figures 7 to 9 , the linkage between the protective cover 32 and the door lock structure 40 is illustrated by way of example.

[0073] like Figure 7As shown, when the door body 20 needs to be opened, the driving mechanism 50 is started to drive the protective cover 32 to rotate to the top of the heating element 31, blocking the diffusion port 611. At the same time, the locking member 41 moves up along the Z-axis direction as the protective cover 32 rotates under the action of the second transmission unit 52, and touches the top contact protrusion 22 on the door body 20. As the locking member 41 gradually moves up, the door body 20 is gradually opened. When the locking member 41 moves to the second position, the door body 20 is pushed open to the first gap. Then, the user can hold the edge of the door body 20 at the first gap and pull the door body 20 open.

[0074] like Fig. 9 As shown, when it is necessary to dry dishes, after the door body 20 is closed, the protective cover 32 rotates to the bottom of the heating element 31 and is at least partially contained in the liquid collecting chamber 701 below, and the heating element 31 is exposed to facilitate sufficient heat transfer to the gallbladder cavity through the diffusion port 611, the diffusion hole 612 and the gallbladder bottom wall 61. At the same time, the locking member 41 moves downward along the Z-axis direction as the protective cover 32 rotates, so that the locking portion 4102 is inserted into the locking hole 211 of the locking tongue 21, thereby locking the door body 20.

[0075] like Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 41 has a critical position to cooperate with the top contact protrusion 22 when moving in the Z axis, that is, the top contact portion 4101 on the locking member 41 contacts the top contact protrusion 22, but does not generate a driving force along the Y axis. At this time, the protective cover 32 rotates to the side of the heating member 31 facing the door body 20.

It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
