[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described 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 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 shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art in the technical field to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the remaining water collection device provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0041] In the first specific implementation manner, as Figure 1 shown, the remaining water collection device provided by the embodiment of the present application is arranged in the disinfection cabinet. The remaining water collection device mainly includes an outer shell 1, a remaining water tank 2, a monitoring device 3, and a protection device 4.

[0042] The surplus water tank 2 is detachably installed on the housing 1. When the surplus water tank 2 is installed at the water - using position in the housing 1, the surplus water tank 2 can be used in cooperation with the disinfection cabinet. For example, when the disinfection cabinet is working, the surplus water can be conveyed to the surplus water tank 2.

[0043] The disassembly and installation methods of the surplus water tank 2 are not limited in this embodiment; for example, the surplus water tank 2 can be a push - pull type disassembly and installation with a displacement stroke during the disassembly and assembly process, or a simple type disassembly and installation without a displacement stroke, which all belong to the scope of the description of this application.

[0044] The monitoring device 3 is movably installed on the housing 1, and the monitoring device 3 can move between a first position and a second position. The basic function of the monitoring device 3 is to monitor the water level in the surplus water tank 2.

[0045] The moving mode of the monitoring device 3 is not limited in this embodiment; for example, the monitoring device 3 can be in a rotational motion form, and the first position and the second position are two positions on the rotation path of the monitoring device 3. The monitoring device 3 can also be in a moving motion form, and the first position and the second position are two positions on the moving path of the monitoring device 3. The moving path includes but is not limited to a straight line and a curve, which all belong to the scope of the description of this application.

[0046] The detection principle of the monitoring device 3 is not limited in this embodiment; the monitoring device 3 can adopt a sensor based on the principle of contact with the liquid, such as a resistive water level sensor, or a sensor based on a non - contact principle, such as an ultrasonic water level sensor, which all belong to the scope of the description of this application.

[0047] In this embodiment, the monitoring device 3 is used to move to the first position when the surplus water tank 2 is installed at the water - using position, and move to the second position when the surplus water tank 2 is moved away from the water - using position.

[0048] The protection device 4 is fixedly installed on the housing 1. The protection device 4 can be used in cooperation with the disinfection cabinet. The protection device 4 is used to emit a first signal when the monitoring device 3 moves to the first position and a second signal when the monitoring device 3 moves to the second position, so as to enable the disinfection cabinet to use water when receiving the first signal and stop using water when receiving the second signal.

[0049] In the field of household appliances, such as milk - making machines, disinfection cabinets, etc., the surplus water collection device is a common functional configuration. The surplus water collection device provided by this application aims to solve the defects of the existing surplus water collection devices, especially the problems of lack of effective water level monitoring and safety protection measures.

[0050] The residual water collection device of the present application realizes real-time monitoring and safety protection of the liquid level in the residual water tank 2 through the monitoring device 3 and the protection device 4. The monitoring device 3 is movably installed on the outer shell 1 and can move to the first position when the residual water tank 2 is installed at the water-using position to monitor the water level in the residual water tank. When the residual water tank 2 is moved away from the water-using position, the monitoring device 3 moves to the second position. The protection device 4 is fixedly installed on the outer shell 1 and emits a first signal when the monitoring device 3 moves to the first position, enabling the disinfection cabinet to use water; while emitting a second signal when the monitoring device 3 moves to the second position, causing the disinfection cabinet to stop using water. This design not only improves the convenience of residual water collection but also enhances the safety of the device, ensuring that the device can stop using water in a timely manner when the residual water tank is displaced or the water level is abnormal, avoiding potential safety risks. Through this collaborative working mechanism, the residual water collection device significantly improves the safety and convenience of using the disinfection cabinet.

[0051] Combined with the above structure and process description, it can be seen that the residual water collection device has at least the following beneficial effects: Through the collaborative work of the monitoring device 3 and the protection device 4, the residual water collection device effectively solves the deficiencies of the existing residual water collection device in water level monitoring and safety protection, and improves the safety and convenience of using the disinfection cabinet.

[0052] It should be noted that one of the purposes of the present application is to monitor whether the residual water tank 2 is correctly installed at the water-using position. Therefore, as long as the residual water tank 2 is located at the water-using position, whether the water-using position refers to a specific point or a range, the monitoring device 3 has a corresponding first position. Therefore, the first position can also be a specific point or a range, which also belongs to the scope of description of the present application.

[0053] In addition, the monitoring device 3 can not only monitor the water level to send monitoring data to the disinfection cabinet for the user to understand the water level situation of the residual water tank 2, but also send a signal that the residual water is full to the disinfection cabinet when the water level reaches the preset value.

[0054] Similarly, as long as the residual water tank 2 is removed from the water-using position, the monitoring device 3 has a corresponding second position. The second position can be either a specific point or a range, which also belongs to the scope of description of the present application.

[0055] It should be explained that the residual water collection device is used for the disinfection cabinet, which not only realizes the function of collecting the residual water of the disinfection cabinet but also can realize the function of protecting the safe use of the disinfection cabinet. The disinfection cabinet in this embodiment should at least have a disinfection function. During the disinfection process of the disinfection cabinet, the disinfection cabinet is in a water-using state, generating steam for disinfection. At the same time, the steam will generate condensed water after cooling, and the condensed water is collected by the residual water collection device. During this period, when the residual water tank 2 is at the water-using position, the disinfection cabinet can use water and the steam disinfection function operates normally. Once the residual water tank 2 is removed from the water-using position, the disinfection cabinet stops using water and the steam disinfection function stops.

[0056] Optionally, the sterilizer may also have more types of sterilization functions, such as ultraviolet sterilization. Taking ultraviolet sterilization as an example, when the sterilizer is using water, the steam sterilization function operates normally, and the ultraviolet sterilization function can be carried out simultaneously without interference. Even when the sterilizer stops using water and the steam sterilization function stops, the ultraviolet sterilization function can still operate normally without interference either.

[0057] Other types of sterilization functions are similar. The residual water collection device realizes the function of safe water use protection, and the control method of the water use and water stop of the sterilizer will not affect other types of sterilization functions.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 the schematic diagram of taking out the residual water tank from the residual water collection device in

[0059] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with adjacent first chamber 101 and second chamber 102. The residual water tank 2 is installed in the first chamber 101, and the monitoring device 3 is installed in the second chamber 102. The monitoring device 3 is movable between the second chamber 102 and the first chamber 101.

[0060] In this embodiment, by providing two adjacent chambers: the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102, a reasonable layout of the residual water tank 2 and the monitoring device 3 is achieved.

[0061] The residual water tank 2 is responsible for collecting the residual water generated during the operation of the disinfection cabinet and can be disassembled and assembled conveniently. It is installed in the first chamber 101. Such a design makes the taking and placing of the residual water tank 2 simple and facilitates the user's daily cleaning and maintenance.

[0062] The monitoring device 3 is installed in the second chamber 102 and can move freely between the two chambers. This mobility is a key feature of the monitoring device 3. When the residual water tank 2 is correctly installed at the water use position, the monitoring device 3 moves to the first position, and at this time, the water level in the residual water tank 2 can be monitored; if the residual water tank 2 is removed, the monitoring device 3 moves to the second position, thereby triggering the protection device 4 to send out corresponding signals to ensure the stop of water use of the disinfection cabinet.

[0063] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, the second chamber 102 is located above the first chamber 101.

[0064] In a specific implementation manner, the monitoring device 3 is rotatably installed on the housing 1.

[0065] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the monitoring device 3 adopts a rotational motion form, and the first position and the second position are two positions on the rotation path of the monitoring device 3. As Figure 1 shown, when the residual water tank 2 is correctly installed at the water usage position, the monitoring device 3 rotates to the first position, and at this time, the water level in the residual water tank 2 can be monitored; as Figure 2 shown, if the residual water tank 2 is removed, the monitoring device 3 rotates to the second position, thereby triggering the protection device 4 to send a corresponding signal to ensure that the disinfection cabinet stops using water.

[0066] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 3 includes:

[0067] a rotating seat 31, rotatably mounted on the housing 1;

[0068] a water level detection electrode 32, fixedly mounted on the rotating seat 31;

[0069] The rotating seat 31 is provided with a rotating part 311, and the rotating part 311 rotates between the first position and the second position.

[0070] In this embodiment, when the rotating seat 31 rotates, the water level detection electrode 32 on the rotating seat 31 and the rotating part 311 of the rotating seat 31 rotate synchronously. In particular, the rotating part 311 can rotate between two preset positions: the first position and the second position. As Figure 1 shown, when the residual water tank 2 is in the water usage position, the rotating part 311 rotates to the first position, and the water level detection electrode 32 can directly contact the liquid in the residual water tank 2 to detect the height of the water level; as Figure 2 shown, if the residual water tank 2 is removed, the rotating part 311 rotates to the second position, and this change in position will trigger the protection device 4 to send a second signal, causing the disinfection cabinet to stop using water, thereby avoiding safety problems caused by the displacement of the residual water tank 2.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is an exploded view of the residual water collection device provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0072] In some embodiments, the monitoring device 3 further includes an elastic member 33, the elastic member 33 is mounted on the housing 1, the elastic member 33 is connected to the rotating seat 31, and the elastic member 33 is used to drive the rotating part 311 to rotate towards the second position.

[0073] In this embodiment, the design of the monitoring device 3 is further enhanced by introducing the elastic member 33 to provide the necessary force to ensure that the monitoring device 3 can correctly respond to the state change of the residual water tank 2.

[0074] When the residual water tank 2 is moved away from the water - using position, the elastic member 33 drives the rotating portion 311 to rotate from the first position to the second position. This design utilizes the restoring force of the elastic member. When the residual water tank 2 is not in place, the force of the elastic member 33 acts on the rotating seat 31, prompting the rotating portion 311 to rotate to a safe position, that is, the second position. This action is automatic and does not require external intervention, thus improving the response speed and reliability of the system.

[0075] Once the rotating portion 311 leaves the first position under the action of the elastic member 33, it will trigger the protection device 4 to emit a second signal, and this signal will cause the disinfection cabinet to stop using water, preventing the device from continuing to operate without the residual water tank 2, thereby avoiding possible safety risks.

[0076] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , optionally, the elastic member 33 is a torsion spring.

[0077] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the protection device 4 includes a micro - switch 41. The micro - switch 41 is provided with a button 411 facing the rotating portion 311, and the button 411 is located at the first position.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the rotating portion 311 of the monitoring device 3 is in the first position, the button 411 is pressed, and the micro - switch 41 is in a closed state. This allows the disinfection cabinet to receive the first signal, that is, the path signal, and thus use water normally. When the rotating portion 311 of the monitoring device 3 rotates to the second position due to the removal of the residual water tank 2, the micro - switch 41 is disconnected, which is equivalent to emitting a second signal different from the first signal, that is, the open - circuit signal. This signal will trigger the water - stopping program of the disinfection cabinet, preventing the device from continuing to operate when the residual water tank 2 is not in place, thereby avoiding possible safety risks and equipment damage.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 For Figure 3 the schematic diagram of the rotating seat and the residual water tank in

[0080] In some embodiments, the residual water tank 2 is provided with a pushing portion 21; the rotating portion 311 is used to drive the rotating seat 31 to rotate under the action of the pushing portion 21.

[0081] In this embodiment, the surplus water tank 2 can directly act on the rotating seat 31 to drive it to rotate. When the surplus water tank 2 is installed at the water - using position, the pushing part 21 applies a force to the rotating part 311 of the rotating seat 31, so that the rotating part 311 is maintained at the first position. This position is the position where the monitoring device 3 works normally, allowing the water - level detection electrode 32 to accurately monitor the water level. At this time, the button 411 of the micro - switch 41 is pressed, sending a first signal, enabling the disinfection cabinet to use water normally. When the surplus water tank 2 is removed from the water - using position, the pushing part 21 no longer applies a force to the rotating part 311, and the rotating part 311 rotates to the second position under the action of the elastic part 33. This change in position triggers the release of the button 411 of the micro - switch 41, sending a second signal, causing the disinfection cabinet to stop using water. This design ensures that the disinfection cabinet can operate safely only when the surplus water tank 2 is correctly installed and the water level is normal.

[0082] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , optionally, the housing 1 includes a housing body 11 and an upper cover 12. The monitoring device 3 is installed in the combination of the housing body 11 and the upper cover 12, and the protection device 4 is installed inside the upper cover 12. The rotating seat 31 is provided with a rotating part 311, a connecting part 312 and a rotating shaft part 313. The two ends of the rotating shaft part 313 are fitted with the circular holes formed by the semi - circular holes on the housing body 11 and the semi - circular holes on the upper cover 12, realizing the rotational installation of the rotating shaft part 313 in the combination of the housing body 11 and the upper cover 12. The rotating part 311, the connecting part 312 and the water - level detection electrode 32 are at different circumferential angles of the rotating shaft part 313. A groove for abutting against the end part of the elastic part 33, namely the torsion spring, is provided on the connecting part 312. Under the action of the torsion spring, as Figure 2 shown, when the surplus water tank 2 is not installed, the rotating part 311 rotates into the first chamber 101, and the water - level detection electrode 32 rotates into the second chamber 102, and the disinfection cabinet is powered off. When the surplus water tank 2 is pushed in place in the first chamber 101, as Figure 1 shown, the surplus water tank 2 is located at the water - using position, the water - level detection electrode 32 rotates into the first chamber 101 and is inside the surplus water tank 2, the rotating part 311 rotates to the first position, and the rotating part 311 pushes the button 411 of the micro - switch 41, and the disinfection cabinet uses water normally.

[0083] In some embodiments, the pushing part 21 includes a push plate 211 and a plurality of clamping plates 212 provided on the push plate 211; the rotating part 311 includes a rotating plate 3111 and a plurality of clamping holes 3112 provided on the rotating plate 3111, and the clamping holes 3112 cooperate with the clamping plates 212.

[0084] In this embodiment, the mating relationship between the clamping plate 212 and the clamping hole 3112 is crucial. They not only play a positioning role but also ensure the stability and accuracy of the residual water tank 2 during installation and disassembly. The arrangement direction of the clamping plate 212 and the clamping hole 3112 is perpendicular to the disassembly and assembly direction of the residual water tank 2. This design enables the clamping hole 3112 and the clamping plate 212 to prevent the residual water tank 2 from shifting during lateral disassembly and assembly in the longitudinal direction.

[0085] Specifically, when the residual water tank 2 is correctly installed, the clamping plate 212 will be inserted into the corresponding clamping hole 3112. This mechanical fit ensures the fixed position of the residual water tank 2, reducing the risk of equipment failure or unstable operation caused by improper installation. At the same time, this fit also allows the rotating seat 31 to rotate stably when needed, responding to the position change of the residual water tank 2 and triggering the corresponding actions of the monitoring device 3 and the protection device 4.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the disinfection cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0087] The present application also provides a disinfection cabinet, including the above-mentioned residual water collection device. This disinfection cabinet should have all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned residual water collection device, which will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0088] In this embodiment, the disinfection cabinet includes a disinfection chamber. The residual water collection device is located below the disinfection chamber. The disinfection chamber is provided with a water collection port, and the water collection port leads to the residual water tank 2 installed at the water usage position.

[0089] During use, the disinfection cabinet disinfects the utensils in the disinfection chamber. For example, when the disinfection cabinet uses water, steam is generated to perform steam disinfection on the utensils in the disinfection chamber. Since steam condensation will produce condensate, the condensate flows under the action of gravity and flows downward through the water collection port into the residual water tank 2 at the water usage position; once the residual water tank 2 is removed from the water usage position, the disinfection cabinet stops using water and the steam disinfection function stops.

[0090] In some embodiments, the disinfection cabinet includes a water purification tank and a steam generator.

[0091] In this embodiment, the disinfection cabinet at least has a steam disinfection function. The water purification tank supplies water required for generating steam to the steam generator, and the steam generator generates steam and delivers the steam into the disinfection chamber. Once the residual water tank 2 is removed from the water usage position, the disinfection cabinet stops using water, and the water purification tank stops supplying water to the steam generator.

[0092] Among them, the function of the water purification tank supplying water to the steam generator can be realized by the operation of the water pump; the function of the water purification tank stopping supplying water to the steam generator can be realized by the water pump stopping working.

[0093] Optionally, the disinfection chamber is provided with an ultraviolet lamp. The disinfection cabinet also has an ultraviolet disinfection function. When the disinfection cabinet uses water and stops 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.

[0094] Optionally, the steam generator is an instantaneous steam generator. By using the water purification tank and the instantaneous steam generator, not only is it not easy to generate scale stains, but also there is no need to add water frequently, which can greatly improve the convenience.

[0095] 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 known by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.

[0096] 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 such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0097] The above has introduced the residual water collection device and the disinfection cabinet provided by this application in detail. 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 in this technical field, 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.
