Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machine sterilization, and particularly relates to a sterilization module for laundry disinfection. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, with people's increasing emphasis on the quality of life and health and safety, more stringent requirements have been put forward for the hygiene conditions of items that come into direct contact with the body in daily life, such as underwear and bedding. These items not only concern personal comfort but also play an important role in health protection. Therefore, it is particularly important to effectively sterilize and remove mites from them. However, although modern families are generally equipped with washing machines, which greatly facilitate the cleaning of clothes, how to further ensure the thoroughness of sterilization and mite removal after the clothes are washed has become a problem faced by many people. Although the traditional drying method can utilize the ultraviolet rays in sunlight to sterilize to a certain extent, its effect is limited by the weather, season, and drying conditions, and it is difficult to ensure an ideal sterilization effect every time. Adding a bactericide during laundry can effectively sterilize, but the bactericide is harmful to both the human body and the environment.

[0003] To make up for this deficiency, more and more people have begun to seek more professional and efficient solutions. The patent document with the publication number CN101265656B discloses an ultraviolet sterilization lamp for a washing machine, which utilizes the sterilization effect of ultraviolet rays to enhance the sterilization and disinfection effect and cleaning function of the washing machine.

[0004] By analyzing the existing technology, the following deficiencies are found: 1. The power of the washing machine sterilization lamp on the market is low; 2. The heat dissipation effect of the sterilization module is poor, and it cannot be adapted to a high-power sterilization lamp; 3. The installation is unstable. The vibration in the washing machine is strong and the water flow is fast, which easily causes the installation to become loose. Content of the Utility Model
