[0026] As Figures 1-7A disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure is shown, including a disinfection cabinet main body 1, and the disinfection cabinet main body 1 includes a disinfection cabinet housing 2. Among them, the disinfection cabinet main body 1 further includes a ventilation device 3 and a ventilation channel 4 that is respectively communicated with the ventilation device 3 and the inner cavity of the disinfection cabinet housing 2. The ventilation device 3 is used to transfer hot air from the ventilation channel 4 to the inner cavity of the disinfection cabinet housing 2.

[0027] By setting the ventilation device 3 and the ventilation channel 4 communicated with the inner cavity of the disinfection cabinet housing 2, the hot air in the inner cavity of the disinfection cabinet housing 2 can be sucked into the ventilation channel 4 by the ventilation device 3 and blown out through the ventilation device 3, thus realizing the effective circulation of hot air. This setting ensures that the temperature distribution in each area inside the disinfection cabinet is more uniform, thereby improving the drying efficiency; in addition, the uniform temperature distribution also helps to prevent water stains or mildew on the surface of items, enhancing the use effect; furthermore, this setting also helps to avoid the accumulation of heat near the heating element, reducing the local overheating phenomenon of the heating element, thereby prolonging the service life of the disinfection cabinet.

[0028] Specifically, through the cooperation of the ventilation device 3 and the ventilation channel 4, the hot air can circulate inside the disinfection cabinet, greatly improving the drying efficiency. This setting enables the items inside the disinfection cabinet to be dried more evenly, avoiding the phenomenon of incomplete drying caused by temperature differences, ensuring that the items are dry without water stains, mildew and other problems, and enhancing the user experience; further, this setting can also effectively disperse the heat near the heating element, preventing the occurrence of local overheating phenomenon, thereby reducing the loss of the heating element and prolonging the service life of the disinfection cabinet. Through this setting, not only the overall performance stability of the disinfection cabinet is improved, but also the equipment maintenance cost is reduced, enabling the disinfection cabinet to maintain an efficient and stable drying effect during long-term use.

[0029] Further, as Figures 1-7 shown, a disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure, wherein a first housing 21 is provided on one side of the disinfection cabinet housing 2. The disinfection cabinet main body 1 further includes a flow guide cover 5 located outside the disinfection cabinet housing 2 and connected to the first housing 21. The flow guide cover 5 and the first housing 21 enclose to form a ventilation channel 4.

[0030] By setting the first housing 21 outside the disinfection cabinet housing 2 and connecting it with the flow guide cover 5 to form a ventilation channel 4, this setting makes full use of the external space of the disinfection cabinet without occupying the internal space. It not only solves the problem of internal space limitation, but also effectively realizes the circulation of hot air, improving the drying efficiency; further, since the ventilation channel 4 does not occupy the internal space, more items to be disinfected and dried can be accommodated inside the disinfection cabinet, enhancing the practicality and capacity utilization rate of the disinfection cabinet.

[0031] Furthermore, as Figures 1-7 shown, a disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure, wherein the air deflector 5 is provided with an air deflector inner cavity 51 and a fixed end 52 located on one side. The fixed end 52 is provided with a first fixing hole 521, and the first housing 21 is provided with a first connection hole 211. The first connection hole 211 is cooperatively connected with the first fixing hole 521 so that the air deflector 5 is cooperatively connected with the first housing 21, and the air deflector inner cavity 51 and the first housing 21 enclose a ventilation channel 4.

[0032] In the present utility model, by providing the air deflector inner cavity 51 and the fixed end 52 on the air deflector 5 and cooperatively connecting the first fixing hole 521 with the first connection hole 211 of the first housing 21, this setting ensures the stable connection between the air deflector 5 and the first housing 21, guaranteeing the stability and durability of the disinfection cabinet.

[0033] Furthermore, as Figures 1-7 shown, a disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure, wherein the ventilation device 3 is located in the air deflector inner cavity 51. The first housing 21 is further provided with a ventilation hole 212 at one end of the air deflector 5, and the ventilation device 3 is located at the other end of the air deflector 5.

[0034] In the present utility model, the ventilation device 3 is arranged in the air deflector inner cavity 51, that is, on the outer side of the disinfection cabinet housing 2, realizing the efficient utilization of the space of the disinfection cabinet. This setting avoids the ventilation device 3 occupying the internal space of the disinfection cabinet, making the internal space more spacious and facilitating the placement and removal of items. Further, the position of the ventilation device 3 in the air deflector inner cavity 51 is also beneficial to the circulation and distribution of hot air, further improving the drying effect and drying speed. Further, this setting also simplifies the internal structure, reducing the production cost and maintenance difficulty.

[0035] Furthermore, as Figures 1-7 shown, a disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure, wherein an air inlet area 41 communicating with the ventilation channel 4 is further provided between the ventilation device 3 and the air deflector 5, and the ventilation device 3 abuts against three side walls of the air deflector inner cavity 51.

[0036] In the present utility model, the ventilation device 3 abuts against three side walls of the air deflector inner cavity 51, so that the hot air can only enter the ventilation device 3 through the air inlet area 41, thus ensuring the directional flow of the hot air, avoiding the disorderly diffusion of the hot air, and improving the drying efficiency and the efficiency of the hot air circulation. Further, by abutting the ventilation device 3 against three side walls of the air deflector inner cavity 51, the position of the ventilation device 3 is effectively restricted, preventing displacement during operation.

[0037] Furthermore, as Figures 1-7A disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure as shown, wherein the first housing 21 is further provided with an air outlet 213, and the air outlet 213 is arranged in a plurality of concentric circular grooves, and each concentric circular groove is evenly divided into multiple segments.

[0038] In the present utility model, by providing the air outlet 213 in the shape of concentric circular grooves on the first housing 21, in this embodiment, the air outlet 213 is arranged in four concentric circular grooves, so that after the hot air passes through the ventilation device 3, it can blow out along the direction of the circular grooves to form a rotating air flow. This setting not only ensures that the hot air is evenly distributed at multiple angles, but also enhances the air flow rate and intensity at the air outlet, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency of the hot air inside the device; further, this air outlet method helps to eliminate the drying dead corners and ensure that every part of the items inside the device can be evenly dried; further, the air outlet 213 is evenly divided into multiple segments, which strengthens the strength of the air outlet 213 and improves the stability and durability of the hot air circulation system.

[0039] Further, as Figures 1-7 A disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure as shown, wherein a positioning end 22 extending towards the guide cover 5 is further provided on the periphery of the first housing 21, and the guide cover 5 abuts against the positioning end 22.

[0040] In the present utility model, the guide cover 5 abuts against the positioning ends 22 provided on three sides of the periphery of the first housing 21 to form a certain sealing surface, reducing the leakage of hot air from between the guide cover 5 and the first housing 21, thereby reducing heat energy loss, improving the thermal efficiency during the drying process, and also helping to maintain the uniformity of the temperature distribution inside the disinfection cabinet.

[0041] Further, as Figures 1-7 A disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure as shown, wherein the first housing 21 is further provided with a second connection hole 214, and the ventilation device 3 is provided with a second fixing hole 31, and the second connection hole 214 and the second fixing hole 31 are connected in cooperation to fix the ventilation device 3 on the first housing 21.

[0042] In the present utility model, by providing the second connection hole 214 on the first housing 21 and connecting it in cooperation with the second fixing hole 31 on the ventilation device 3, the stable fixation of the ventilation device 3 inside the disinfection cabinet can be ensured. This setting not only improves the reliability of the ventilation device 3, but also facilitates the operation and replacement by the operator, thereby enhancing the overall stability and service life of the disinfection cabinet.

[0043] Further, as Figures 1-7 A disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure as shown, wherein the first connection hole 211 and the first fixing hole 521 are connected by riveting to connect the guide cover 5 and the first housing 21.

[0044] In the present utility model, the flow guide cover 5 is connected to the first housing 21 by riveting, ensuring a more firm and reliable connection between the flow guide cover 5 and the first housing 21. This setting effectively prevents the connection from loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction during the operation of the disinfection cabinet, ensuring the stability of the drying effect of the disinfection cabinet and further improving the drying efficiency and the overall performance of the disinfection cabinet.

[0045] Furthermore, as Figures 1-7 shown in a disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure, a sealing member is provided between the flow guide cover 5 and the positioning end 22, and a sealing member is provided between the fixed end 52 and the first housing 21.

[0046] In the present utility model, by providing sealing members between the flow guide cover 5 and the positioning end 22 and between the fixed end 52 and the first housing 21, in this embodiment, the sealing member is sealant, which can further enhance the sealing performance inside the disinfection cabinet. This setting helps to prevent leakage between the flow guide cover 5 and the positioning end 22 during the hot air circulation process, ensuring the efficiency of the hot air circulation, and also helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the drying effect.

[0047] Furthermore, as Figures 1-7 shown in a disinfection cabinet with a hot air circulation structure, the flow guide cover 5 is further provided with a wire passing hole.

[0048] In the present utility model, by providing a wire passing hole on the flow guide cover 5, the ventilation device 3 can be better connected to the electronic components to supply power to the ventilation device 3.
