[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a steam sterilization bag comprising a bag body having a accommodating cavity, the bag body having an opening, and a sealing structure disposed at the opening. The sealing structure is used to close or open the opening, thereby isolating or connecting the accommodating cavity to the external environment. The bag body is provided with an exhaust structure, the exhaust structure including an exhaust valve, the exhaust valve including a connecting end and an exhaust end. The connecting end is connected to the bag body, the exhaust end is provided with a slit, and the connecting end and the exhaust end are in a tapered structure.
[0027] The bag body in this embodiment is roughly an isosceles inverted trapezoidal structure as a whole, with an external height between 180mm and 250mm, an external width between 200mm and 300mm, an internal height between 126mm and 196mm, and an internal width between 198mm and 298mm. The space inside the bag body is roughly an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the capacity is between 2 liters and 3.5 liters.
[0028] It is understood that the exhaust valve is made of silicone and has a V-shaped structure. The slits are located at the ends of the V-shaped structure, allowing the exhaust valve to function as a one-way exhaust. Under normal conditions, the slits of the exhaust valve are closed. However, when high-temperature steam is present inside the bag, the air inside the bag expands, causing the slits to open, allowing the high-temperature steam to be discharged outside the bag along the slits.
[0029] Specifically, the length of the slit in this embodiment is 20 mm. In the closed state, the width interval of the slit is 0 mm; in the open state, the maximum opening width of the slit is 10 mm.
[0030] The steps for disinfecting items using the disinfection bag provided in this embodiment are as follows:
[0031] The user puts the items to be disinfected into the accommodating cavity through the opening, pours in water or disinfectant, puts the bag into a microwave oven or other disinfection equipment for use, selects the corresponding disinfection mode and time according to the type of disinfection bag, opens the bag after disinfection is completed, and takes out the disinfected items.
[0032] Currently, disinfection bags on the market include disposable products and recyclable products. Disposable products cannot be recycled and require higher costs. Recyclable products are mainly made of plastic materials. Although they can be used multiple times, the heat resistance of plastic materials is poor. After repeated use, they may deform or damage. Some low-quality plastic disinfection bags may even dissolve during high-temperature disinfection, releasing microplastics that are harmful to health and contaminate the items to be disinfected in the disinfection bags. If users unknowingly use items containing microplastics, it may be harmful to human health. In addition, plastic disinfection bags are difficult to degrade and recycle, and are likely to pollute the environment.
[0033] In this embodiment, the exhaust valve and the bag body are both made of silicone. Compared to currently available disposable sterilization bags, silicone sterilization bags are reusable, offering higher cost-effectiveness and practicality. Compared to currently available plastic sterilization bags, silicone sterilization bags are more easily recycled, minimizing environmental pollution.
[0034] Furthermore, the bag body and the exhaust valve in this embodiment are integrally formed. During the production process, the integral forming process is relatively simple, which reduces the steps of assembling the exhaust valve onto the bag body, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs.
[0035] Furthermore, the bag body is provided with a recessed structure, to which the connection end of the exhaust valve is connected, and the exhaust valve is smaller than the recessed structure. As can be appreciated, the recessed structure prevents the exhaust valve from protruding from the bag body, resulting in a simpler and more streamlined overall appearance without obtrusive connecting parts. This enhances the overall aesthetics of the sterilization bag, making it more attractive and high-quality, meeting the aesthetic demands of modern consumers for product appearance and helping to improve the sterilization bag's market competitiveness.
[0036] In this embodiment, the sealing structure includes a first sealing component, which includes a sealing groove and a sealing strip. The sealing groove and the sealing strip are provided on opposite sides of the opening, and the sealing strip is adapted to fit within the sealing groove. By inserting the sealing strip into the sealing groove, the opening can be sealed.
[0037] Furthermore, the sealing strip includes a fixed section and an embedded section, the fixed section is connected to the inner side of the bag body, the embedded section is set to a spherical structure, and the sealing groove is set to a concave structure. The spherical structure can be interference fit with the concave structure to seal the opening, and even if the disinfection bag is tilted, the liquid in the bag can be prevented from leaking.
[0038] In this embodiment, the sealing structure includes a second sealing component, and the second sealing component includes a connecting buckle and a connecting hole. The connecting buckle and the connecting hole are arranged on opposite sides of the opening, and the connecting buckle is adapted to the connecting hole.
[0039] Specifically, two sets of connecting buckles and connecting holes are provided, one on the left and one on the right side of the bag, respectively. In this embodiment, the connecting buckle is an elliptical cylinder with an outwardly extending sheet-like structure at the top. The cross-section of the connecting buckle is T-shaped. The longest diameter of the elliptical cylinder is 17 mm and the shortest diameter is 5 mm. The maximum diameter of the sheet-like structure is 19 mm and the minimum diameter is 7 mm. The opening of the bag is provided with a step, and the connecting hole is located on this step and is a countersunk hole structure. The maximum diameter of the connecting hole is 19 mm and the minimum diameter is 5 mm. The outer hole has a maximum diameter of 22 mm and a minimum diameter of 9 mm, and a depth of 3 mm.
[0040] When the connecting buckle is connected with the connecting hole, the sheet-like structure has a restrictive effect, which can prevent the connecting buckle from falling off from the connecting hole.
[0041] It is understood that the disinfection bag provided in this embodiment not only has a disinfection function, but also has an item storage function. When the disinfection bag is used to store items, the connecting buckle passes through the connecting hole and can simply seal the opening of the bag to prevent the items in the bag from being scattered.
[0042] Furthermore, the bag body is provided with a handle portion, which is located on opposite sides of the opening. An arched opening is provided in the middle of the handle portion. A folding flap is provided in the arched opening on one side, and a locking hole is provided on the folding flap. A folding angle is provided below the arched opening on the other side, and the folding angle fits into the locking hole. The folding flap can be folded in the direction of the locking hole and connected to the locking hole to prevent the bag body opening from opening. After the folding flap is folded, the arched openings on both sides can be passed through by the user, making it convenient for the user to carry the disinfection bag.
[0043] Specifically, the maximum diameter of the arched opening connected to the folding leaf is 126 mm, and the minimum diameter is 40 mm. The maximum diameter of the arched opening without the folding leaf is 105 mm, and the minimum diameter is 10 mm.
[0044] In this embodiment, the locking hole is a dug hole design, and the folded corner has the same structure as the connecting buckle, which will not be described in detail here.
[0045] In this embodiment, the disinfection bag further includes a hook hole, which is a ring-shaped structure and is located at one end of the bag body, away from the opening. Specifically, the exhaust valve is located at the upper end of one side of the bag body, and the hook hole is located at the lower end of the bag body, opposite the exhaust valve. After cleaning the bag, the user can hang the bag upside down using the hook hole, with the opening facing downward, making it easier for the user to dry the bag.
[0046] To sum up, the steam sterilization bag provided in this embodiment is provided with a slit on the bag body. When the steam expands in the accommodating cavity, the slit will open and the air will be discharged along the slit. The air in the bag will be discharged, which can prevent the sterilization bag from bursting due to excessive air pressure and ensure the safety of the user.
[0047] Example 2:
[0048] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the size of the bag body and the number of connecting buckles.
[0049] Specifically, the bag body is roughly an isosceles inverted trapezoidal structure, with an external height of between 169mm and 204mm, an external width of between 76.5mm and 96mm, an external length of between 158mm and 211mm, an internal height of between 122mm and 157mm, and an internal width of between 74mm and 94mm. The space inside the bag is roughly an isosceles trapezoidal structure, with a capacity of between 0.75 liters and 1.25 liters. It should be noted that the capacity referred to here is the rated capacity during use, and the actual measured capacity is between 0.83 liters and 1.38 liters.
[0050] Since the bag body provided in this embodiment has a small capacity, it is only necessary to set a folding leaf and a locking hole on the bag body. The opening of the bag body can be covered by the folding leaf, and there is no need to design connecting buckles and connecting holes. The production process is simpler and the cost is lower.
[0051] The remaining structures and advantages of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can, under the guidance of the above embodiments, combine various implementation methods in the above embodiments to obtain technical solutions of multiple implementation methods.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
