Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art of this technology to better understand the solution of this application, the following further detailed description of this application will be given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the steam disinfection appliance provided by the embodiment of this application.

[0035] In the first specific embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the embodiment solution of this application provides a steam disinfection appliance, which mainly includes a storage bin 1, an instantaneous evaporator 2, a communicating vessel 4, and a water tank 5.

[0036] The storage bin 1 is the main component of the steam disinfection appliance. It is internally designed with a storage space 101 for placing objects to be disinfected. The objects to be disinfected include but are not limited to containers, food, etc. For example, the object to be disinfected can be a baby bottle 01.

[0037] The instantaneous evaporator 2 is installed in the storage bin 1, and its steam end is directly communicated with the storage space 101 to ensure that the steam can effectively disinfect the items. The instantaneous evaporator 2 can also be called a steam generator (instantaneous type), which is used in occasions where rapid heating and steam supply are required and can achieve the effect of instantaneously generating steam.

[0038] The communicating vessel 4 is communicated with the water inlet end of the instantaneous evaporator 2 through a water supply passage 3 to form a channel for water to flow to the instantaneous evaporator 2. Another function of the communicating vessel 4 is to install and carry the water tank 5, and it is designed to be detachably connected to the water tank 5. Such a design allows the user to easily load and unload the water tank 5 from the communicating vessel 4.

[0039] The water tank 5 is connected to the communicating vessel 4 to provide a water source for the instantaneous evaporator 2, and the connection between the water tank 5 and the communicating vessel 4 is detachable, which is convenient for the user to add water and for the maintenance and cleaning of the device.

[0040] During the use of this steam disinfection appliance, the water tank 5 filled with water is installed on the communicating vessel 4. The water tank 5 supplies water to the communicating vessel 4, and then the communicating vessel 4 supplies water to the instantaneous evaporator 2 through the water supply passage 3. The water enters from the water inlet end of the instantaneous evaporator 2. The instantaneous evaporator 2 can achieve the effect of instantaneously generating steam. Therefore, the medium introduced into the storage space 101 from the steam end of the instantaneous evaporator 2 is only high-temperature steam, which is equivalent to avoiding the generation and accumulation of high-temperature water during the introduction process. The water tank 5 has a sufficient capacity to avoid the problem of frequent water addition; at the same time, the water tank 5 is detachably designed on the communicating vessel 4, and even if water needs to be added to the water tank again, it is very convenient to take and replace.

[0041] Combined with the above structure and process description, it can be seen that the steam sterilization appliance has at least the following beneficial effects: The steam sterilization appliance can achieve rapid and efficient sterilization by instantaneously generating steam, reducing the generation of scale and stains. At the same time, the water tank 5 is used to solve the problem of frequent water addition, improving the convenience of use.

[0042] It should be noted that according to its working principle, energy type, structural design, and application requirements, the instant evaporator 2 can have multiple types for selection. For energy, it includes but is not limited to forms such as electric heating and gas. For example, the instant evaporator 2 can be selected as an instantaneous electric steam generator, a flash steam generator, or others, which should also fall within the scope of the description of this embodiment.

[0043] It should be noted that the core improvement point of this embodiment lies in the addition and related settings of the instant evaporator 2 and the water tank 5, mainly solving the problems of scale and stains and frequent water addition. In addition, other setting methods of the steam sterilization appliance can adopt existing technologies, such as sealing structures, structures for balancing internal and external pressures, etc., which will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 2 to 6 , Figure 2 is the structural diagram of the steam sterilization appliance provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is the internal structural diagram of the steam sterilization appliance provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is the structural diagram of the interior of the steam sterilization appliance provided by the embodiment of the present application from another perspective, Figure 5 is the cross-sectional structural diagram of the steam sterilization appliance provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 is the structural diagram of the instant evaporator, water supply path, and connector of the steam sterilization appliance provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0045] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the interior of the storage bin 1 is provided with a storage space 101; as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the storage bin 1 is provided with a steam port 102 communicating with the storage space 101, and the steam end of the instant evaporator 2 outputs steam to the storage space 101 through the steam port 102; as Figure 6 shown, the water pipe joint at the end of the connector 4 is connected to the water supply path 3, and water is supplied to the instant evaporator 2 through the water supply path 3. Moreover, the pipeline between the evaporation end of the instant evaporator 2 and the steam port 102 is extremely short, which can cooperate with the instant steam generation process of the instant evaporator 2 to avoid a large amount of high-temperature water generated by an overly long pipeline.

[0046] In some embodiments, the water supply path 3 includes a water pump and a water pipe.

[0047] In this embodiment, the water supply passage 3 can adopt a combination of a water pump and a water pipe to enhance the flow efficiency and control accuracy of water in the disinfection appliance. The water pump in the water supply passage 3 is responsible for transporting the water in the water tank 5 to the instantaneous evaporator 2, ensuring a stable and continuous supply of water to meet the demand for steam generation by the instantaneous evaporator 2. The water pipe serves as a channel for transporting water, connecting the water pump and the instantaneous evaporator 2 to ensure unobstructed water flow.

[0048] In addition to this embodiment, the water supply passage 3 can also be in a form without using a water pipe. For example, the passage can be directly constructed by using the built-in water channels provided on the storage bin 1 and related structures, which should also fall within the scope of the description of this application.

[0049] In some embodiments, the steam disinfection appliance further includes a residual water tank 6, and the residual water tank 6 communicates with the storage space 101.

[0050] During the disinfection process, the high-temperature steam will condense into water after disinfecting the items, and this condensed water will flow into the residual water tank 6. This design enables the disinfection appliance to more effectively utilize water resources and helps reduce the cleaning and maintenance requirements of the equipment. Since it can collect the condensed water generated during the disinfection process, it reduces the accumulation of scale and minerals inside the equipment, thus reducing the cleaning work.

[0051] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a water collecting port 103 communicating with the storage space 101 is provided in the storage bin 1, and the residual water tank 6 collects the condensed water in the storage space 101 through the water collecting port 103.

[0052] In some embodiments, the steam disinfection appliance further includes a water level detection device 9, and the water level detection device 9 is used to detect the water level in the residual water tank 6.

[0053] As Figure 5 shown, the detection end of the water level detection device 9 is located inside the residual water tank 6. Optionally, the water level detection device 9 adopts a liquid level sensor. The water level detection device 9 can monitor the water level situation in the residual water tank 6 in real time, helping the user to timely understand the water level state in the tank.

[0054] Through this real-time monitoring, the user can avoid the overflow of the residual water tank 6 due to too high a water level, ensuring the clean and safe operation of the equipment. In addition, when the water level reaches a certain height, the water level detection device 9 can issue a reminder to prompt the user to clean the residual water tank 6 in time, thereby maintaining the normal operation and hygienic state of the disinfection appliance.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic diagram of the residual water tank and the water level detection device provided by the embodiment of this application.

[0056] The residual water tank 6 is located below the storage space 101. Figure 7 In Figure 7 , the residual water tank 6 is installed at the water - using position, and the water collection port 103 leads to the residual water tank 6 installed at the water - using position.

[0057] The water level detection device 9 adopts a rotational motion form, including a rotating seat 91 and a water level detection electrode 92 arranged on the rotating seat 91. The rotating seat 91 is rotatably installed in the storage bin 1, and a torsion spring is arranged on the rotating seat 91. When the residual water tank 6 is pushed in, the residual water tank 6 pushes the rotating seat 91, causing the rotating seat 91 to rotate. As Figure 7 shown, when the residual water tank 6 is in the water - using position, the rotating seat 91 rotates clockwise by a certain angle, and the water level detection electrode 92 can directly contact the liquid in the residual water tank 6 to detect the water level. If the residual water tank 6 is pulled out, the rotating seat 91 loses the support of the residual water tank 6, and the rotating seat 91 rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle under the action of the torsion spring. The water level detection electrode 92 at the front end of the rotating seat 91 is lifted upward, facilitating the smooth pulling out of the residual water tank 6, and at the same time, the rear end of the rotating seat 91 rotates downward.

[0058] Optionally, the steam disinfection appliance is also provided with a micro - switch 10. When the residual water tank 6 is in the water - using position, after the rear end of the rotating seat 91 is lifted upward and continuously presses the micro - switch 10, the steam disinfection appliance can use water normally. Once the residual water tank 6 is moved away from the water - using position, the rear end of the rotating seat 91 no longer presses the micro - switch 10, and the steam disinfection appliance stops using water, realizing the function of water - using safety protection.

[0059] During use, the water tank 5 supplies water required for generating steam to the instantaneous evaporator 2. The instantaneous evaporator 2 generates steam, and at the same time, condensed water will be generated after the steam is cooled, and the condensed water is collected by the residual water tank 6; during this period, when the residual water tank 6 is in the water - using position, the micro - switch 10 is in a conducting state, and the steam disinfection function operates normally. Once the residual water tank 6 is moved out of the water - using position, the micro - switch 10 is in an open state, and the water supply passage 3 stops supplying water to the instantaneous evaporator 2, and the steam disinfection function stops.

[0060] Optionally, an ultraviolet lamp can also be set in the storage space 101 to provide an ultraviolet disinfection function. It should be noted that whether using water or stopping using water, the ultraviolet disinfection function will not be affected by the steam disinfection function, and the ultraviolet disinfection can be carried out continuously without interruption.

[0061] In some embodiments, the steam disinfection appliance further includes a drying device 7. The drying device 7 is installed in the storage bin 1, and the drying device 7 is used to dry the objects to be disinfected in the storage space 101.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the steam sterilization appliance further includes a drying device 7, which is installed in the storage bin 1 for drying the articles to be sterilized in the storage space 101 after the sterilization process ends. The integration of the drying device 7 not only enhances the functionality of the sterilization appliance but also ensures the rapid drying of the sterilized items, effectively preventing the re-growth of bacteria and microorganisms.

[0063] The drying device 7 may include one or more components, such as heating elements, fans, or other devices that promote air flow. These components work together to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the items in the storage bin 1. In this way, the drying device 7 not only improves the storage safety of the sterilized items but also provides a more hygienic and convenient user experience.

[0064] In addition, the addition of the drying function also means that the steam sterilization appliance can be applied to more scenarios, such as quickly drying items in a humid environment or providing instant sterilization and drying services in situations where items need to be quickly rotated for use. Therefore, the addition of the drying device 7 significantly enhances the practicality and scope of application of the steam sterilization appliance.

[0065] Optionally, a drying chamber can be provided at a horizontal position communicating with the storage bin 1, and the drying device 7 can be arranged in the drying chamber.

[0066] In some embodiments, the drying device 7 includes a blower 71, and the blower 71 communicates with the storage space 101.

[0067] In this embodiment, the drying device 7 is designed to include a blower 71, which is responsible for generating air flow and is connected to the storage space 101 in the storage bin 1. The function of the blower 71 is to promote the air circulation in the storage bin 1 and accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the sterilized items, thereby achieving the effect of rapid drying.

[0068] In some embodiments, the drying device 7 further includes a heating device 72, and the heating device 72 is located at the connection between the blower 71 and the storage space 101. The heating device 72 is used to heat the air flow blown by the blower 71 into the storage space 101.

[0069] Optionally, the heating device 72 uses a PTD, that is, a positive temperature coefficient thermistor.

[0070] In this embodiment, the composition of the drying device 7 is further enhanced to include a heating device 72. This heating device 72 is carefully arranged at the connection between the blower 71 and the storage space 101, and its function is to heat the air flow blown by the blower 71 into the storage space 101. By the action of the heating device 72, it can ensure that the air flow reaches a relatively high temperature before entering the storage space 101 of the storage bin 1, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0071] The integration of the heating device 72 enables the drying device 7 to not only promote air flow but also provide the necessary heat to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the disinfected items. This design helps to achieve a more uniform and rapid drying effect while ensuring the gentleness of the drying process and avoiding potential damage to the items due to excessive temperature.

[0072] In some embodiments, the drying device 7 further includes a grille window 73, which is located at the connection between the blower 71 and the storage space 101.

[0073] As Figure 5 shown, both the blower 71 and the heating device 72 are arranged in the drying chamber, and a grille window 73 is provided at the outlet where the drying chamber communicates with the storage bin 1. The function of the grille window 73 is to serve as an air flow distributor, which can evenly disperse the heated air flow from the drying chamber to the entire storage space 101 of the storage bin 1. This uniform air flow diffusion helps to improve the drying efficiency, ensuring that the items in each area of the storage bin 1 can receive an appropriate amount of hot air, thus achieving a more consistent and thorough drying effect. In addition, the design of the grille window 73 can also prevent the items from being directly impacted by the hot air, thereby protecting the items from potential thermal damage. Through this indirect heating method of the grille window 73, a gentle and uniform drying environment can be provided for the items in the storage bin 1.

[0074] In some embodiments, the drying device 7 further includes a moving plate 74, which is used to block and expose the grille window 73.

[0075] As Figure 5 shown, a moving plate 74 is also provided at the outlet where the drying chamber communicates with the storage bin 1. Preferably, the moving plate 74 is located on the side of the grille window 73 close to the drying chamber. The moving plate 74 is characterized by being able to move open and close, thereby achieving the isolation between the drying chamber and the storage bin 1 when steam is introduced into the storage space 101, and the connection between the drying chamber and the storage bin 1 when the steam introduction into the storage space 101 is completed and air flow needs to be blown in.

[0076] The moving plate 74 can adopt the form of sliding open and close. In addition, it can also be other forms such as rotating open and close, which should also belong to the scope of description of this application. The power source of the moving plate 74 can be electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic structures, such as electric telescopic rods, rotating motors, and transmission mechanisms, which should also belong to the scope of description of this application. Exemplarily, Figure 5 the moving plate 74 in

[0077] In some embodiments, a storage rack 8 is provided inside the storage bin 1. The storage rack 8 is horizontally arranged, and an interval space communicating with the instantaneous evaporator 2 is left below the storage rack 8. The upper side of the storage rack 8 is used to place the items to be disinfected.

[0078] In this embodiment, in order to make more efficient use of the internal space of the storage bin 1 and ensure that the objects to be disinfected can receive steam disinfection evenly, a storage rack 8 is specially designed inside the storage bin 1. The storage rack 8 is horizontally arranged. Such a design allows the items to be disinfected to be placed one by one, increasing the capacity of the storage bin 1 and facilitating the user to organize, pick up and place the items.

[0079] A space is deliberately left below the storage rack 8. This space communicates with the instantaneous evaporator 2 to ensure that steam can freely rise to the upper side of the storage rack 8 and contact the objects to be disinfected. Such a structural design not only enables the steam to fully surround the items, improving the disinfection efficiency, but also makes the steam distribution in the entire storage bin 1 more uniform.

[0080] In some cases, taking the baby bottle 01 to be disinfected as an example, the baby bottle 01 is placed on the storage rack 8, and the mouth of the baby bottle 01 is set downward so as to facilitate the high-temperature steam to disinfect all positions on the outside and inside of the baby bottle 01.

[0081] In some embodiments, the storage rack 8 is provided with ventilation holes that penetrate up and down.

[0082] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the drying and disinfection efficiency of the steam disinfection appliance, the storage rack 8 is designed to have ventilation holes that penetrate up and down. These ventilation holes allow steam and hot air to flow freely between the various levels of the storage rack 8, ensuring that the steam can evenly contact the items placed on each level.

[0083] The design of the ventilation holes also helps the condensate to flow back, preventing water droplets from directly dripping on the items. This can reduce the water stains on the surface of the items after disinfection and speed up the drying process. In addition, the presence of the ventilation holes also helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the storage rack 8, enabling the heat generated during the disinfection and drying processes to be dissipated more quickly, thereby improving the working efficiency of the entire disinfection appliance.

[0084] By providing ventilation holes on the storage rack 8, not only is the flow path of steam and hot air optimized, but the practicality and functionality of the disinfection appliance are also enhanced. Such a design makes the storage rack 8 not just a simple item placement platform, but an important component that can promote the disinfection and drying processes.

[0085] In some embodiments, a handle is provided on the outside of the water tank 5.

[0086] In this embodiment, a handle is specially added to the outside of the water tank 5. This design makes it more convenient for the user to carry or replace the water tank, improving the operational convenience.

[0087] In a specific implementation manner, the steam disinfection appliance is a disinfection cabinet.

[0088] It should be noted that many components mentioned in this application are common standard components or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or by conventional experimental methods.

[0089] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0090] The steam disinfection appliance provided in this application has been introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of this application. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of this application, several improvements and modifications can be made to this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
