[0031] See also Figures 1 to 2 In the specific embodiment shown, the utility model discloses a silver ion sterilization block placement structure, comprising: a coil spring-shaped cage 10, the cage 10 is elastic, the cage 10 is pulled open to place the silver ion sterilization block 20, and the cage 10 is retracted under the action of the elasticity.

[0032] Specifically, through the design of the coil spring-shaped cage 10, the structure can firmly fix the silver ion sterilization block 20, preventing it from floating freely, moving, or accumulating residue in the water, ensuring that the silver ion sterilization block 20 can continuously and stably release silver ions in the area requiring sterilization, thereby improving the sterilization effect. In addition, the cage 10 collapses under the action of elasticity, tightly wrapping the silver ion sterilization block 20, so that the silver ion sterilization block 20 is in full contact with the surrounding water environment. This close contact facilitates more effective precipitation of silver ions from the silver ion sterilization block 20 and diffusion into the water, thereby achieving efficient sterilization of the water body. In addition, in many application scenarios, such as swimming pools and aquariums, water flow is continuous or intermittent. Traditional sterilization blocks may move or even be washed away by water flow, resulting in a significant reduction in sterilization effect. However, this structure effectively prevents the silver ion sterilization block 20 from being washed away by water through the fixing effect of the cage 10, ensuring the continuity and effectiveness of sterilization. Furthermore, because the cage 10 tightly encloses the silver ion sterilization block 20 and controls its release rate, it reduces residue accumulation and clogging caused by the overly rapid dissolution of the silver ion sterilization block 20. This is particularly important for equipment or environments that require clean and flowing water. Furthermore, the structural design is simple and easy to operate. The user simply pulls open the cage 10, inserts the silver ion sterilization block 20, and then lets go, allowing the cage 10 to automatically retract under its elastic action. This convenience makes it easy to replace and maintain the silver ion sterilization block 20.

[0033] In one embodiment, a mounting line 11 extends from the upper end of the cage body 10 .

[0034] Specifically, the presence of the mounting wire 11 facilitates the installation of the cage 10 in the water environment requiring sterilization. The mounting wire 11 allows the user to hang or secure the cage 10 in a suitable location, such as the edge of a swimming pool or a corner of an aquarium, ensuring that the silver ion sterilization block 20 continuously and stably releases silver ions to sterilize the water. Furthermore, the design of the mounting wire 11 increases the flexibility of the cage 10, allowing the user to adjust the position of the cage 10 according to actual needs to accommodate water environments of varying sizes and shapes. Furthermore, the mounting wire 11 facilitates the user's regular inspection, cleaning, or replacement of the silver ion sterilization block 20, thereby maintaining the continuity and effectiveness of the sterilization effect. Furthermore, the securing effect of the mounting wire 11 ensures that the cage 10 remains stable in the water, preventing movement of the cage 10 or dislodgment of the silver ion sterilization block 20 due to factors such as water flow. This stability ensures that the silver ion sterilization block 20 continuously and evenly releases silver ions, providing comprehensive sterilization of the water, thereby enhancing the sterilization effect. In addition, in some cases, such as public places such as swimming pools, the fixing effect of the installation line 11 can also prevent children or pets from accidentally touching the cage 10 or the silver ion sterilization block 20, thereby avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0035] In one embodiment, a spring portion 12 is further provided in the middle section of the mounting wire 11 .

[0036] Specifically, the provision of the spring portion 12 imparts a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility to the mounting wire 11, enabling dynamic adjustment of the cage 10's height within the water. This adjustment capability is particularly important for water bodies with varying depths or currents, ensuring that the cage 10 remains in the optimal sterilization position, enhancing sterilization effectiveness. Furthermore, since the water depths and shapes of different application scenarios (such as swimming pools, aquariums, and water treatment equipment) may vary, the design of the spring portion 12 allows the cage 10 to flexibly adapt to these differences. Users can adjust the spring portion 12's expansion and contraction to adjust the height of the cage 10, tailored to their specific needs, to meet sterilization requirements in various scenarios. Furthermore, the presence of the spring portion 12 not only increases the toughness and durability of the mounting wire 11 but also helps maintain the cage 10's stability under water fluctuations or external forces. Furthermore, by adjusting the cage 10's height, collisions or entanglements with other objects within the water (such as a water pump or filter 40) can be avoided, enhancing safety. In addition, the user can more conveniently adjust the height of the cage body 10 during use without having to frequently change the installation position or adopt other complicated fixing methods. This convenience not only improves the user experience, but also reduces the risk of damage caused by improper operation.

[0037] In one embodiment, a mounting ring 13 is further provided at one end of the mounting wire 11 away from the cage body 10 .

[0038] Specifically, the design of the mounting ring 13 makes the installation process of the cage 10 simpler and faster. The user simply connects the mounting ring 13 to a pre-set fixing point (such as a hook, screw, etc.) to easily complete the installation of the cage 10. This design avoids complex fixing steps and reduces the installation difficulty. Furthermore, the connection between the mounting ring 13 and the fixing point is generally relatively secure, effectively preventing the cage 10 from falling or shaking due to factors such as water flow and external forces during use. This stability is crucial for ensuring the continuous and stable release of silver ions by the silver ion sterilization block 20. Furthermore, the design of the mounting ring 13 allows the user to select the appropriate fixing point for installation according to actual needs. Whether hanging vertically or fixing horizontally, it can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the water environment and the sterilization requirements. This flexibility improves the applicability of the cage 10 in different application scenarios. Furthermore, when the cage 10 needs to be cleaned or the silver ion sterilization block 20 needs to be replaced, the user simply disconnects the mounting ring 13 from the fixing point to easily remove the cage 10, making subsequent maintenance and servicing easier for the user. In addition, the mounting ring 13 is usually designed to be simple and compact, which is coordinated with the overall style of the cage 10 and the mounting line 11. This design not only facilitates installation and fixation, but also improves the overall aesthetics and allows it to better integrate into the water environment.

[0039] In one embodiment, a positioning ring 14 is further extended from the end of the mounting ring 13 .

[0040] Specifically, the design of the positioning ring 14 further enhances the securement of the cage 10 in its installation location. By tightly attaching the positioning ring 14 to a fixed point (such as a wall or bracket) with screws, the cage 10 can be significantly reduced from swaying due to factors such as water flow and external forces. This enhanced securement helps maintain the stability of the cage 10 and the silver ion sterilization block 20 within it, thereby ensuring the continued and effective sterilization effect. Furthermore, by adding the positioning ring 14 and screws to the securement method, the overall durability of the cage 10 and its mounting structure is enhanced. This design reduces component wear and damage caused by factors such as swaying and loosening, thereby extending the service life of the cage 10.

[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting wire 11 and the cage body 10 are an integrally formed structure.

[0042] Specifically, the one-piece molded structure means there are no additional connectors or interfaces between the mounting wire 11 and the cage body 10, making the entire structure more stable. This structure can more effectively resist deformation or breakage under the influence of water flow or external forces, ensuring the stability of the cage body 10 and the silver ion sterilization block 20 within. Furthermore, because the mounting wire 11 and the cage body 10 are integrally molded, the connection between them is not susceptible to wear or loosening due to long-term use or environmental factors. This design extends the product's service life and reduces the cost of repairing or replacing parts. Furthermore, the one-piece molded structure simplifies the manufacturing process, reducing assembly time and cost. Manufacturers can manufacture the mounting wire 11 and the cage body 10 simultaneously through processes such as injection molding and die-casting, eliminating the need for additional connection or assembly steps. Furthermore, the one-piece molded structure creates a smoother and more natural transition between the cage body 10 and the mounting wire 11, without any abrupt connection. This design not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the product but also makes it easier to integrate into various installation environments. In addition, in some application scenarios, such as swimming pools, aquariums, etc., if the connection between the cage body 10 and the mounting line 11 is not firm, it may cause safety hazards. The one-piece molded structure can effectively avoid this situation and ensure the safety of the cage body 10 during use.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cage 10 is made of stainless steel.

[0044] Specifically, stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, resisting erosion from a variety of media, including water, air, and chemicals. In humid, water-rich environments, or those containing chemicals like chlorine, the stainless steel cage 10 maintains its structural integrity and stability over time, resisting rust and corrosion, thereby extending the product's service life. Furthermore, stainless steel's high strength and hardness allow it to withstand certain external forces and pressures. This allows the stainless steel cage 10 to maintain its shape and structure even when subjected to external forces such as water impact and collision, ensuring the stable position of the silver ion sterilization block 20 within the cage 10. Furthermore, the stainless steel surface is smooth and repellent to dirt and bacteria, making it easy to clean and maintain. Users can maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the cage 10 through simple cleaning and disinfection, ensuring the sterilization effectiveness of the silver ion sterilization block 20. Furthermore, stainless steel is a non-toxic, harmless, and environmentally friendly material that does not release harmful substances into the water, making it an ideal material choice for water treatment equipment, ensuring clean and healthy water. Furthermore, stainless steel has a silvery-white metallic luster and an elegant appearance. At the same time, due to its excellent corrosion resistance and strength properties, the stainless steel cage 10 can maintain its beauty and durability for a long time during use, adding a sense of elegance and quality to the water environment.

[0045] See also Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the utility model also discloses a sterilization device, including the silver ion sterilization block placement structure as described above, a cup body 30 and a filter 40, the cup body 30 is provided with a accommodating cavity 31, the filter 40 is placed in the accommodating cavity 31, and the cage body 10 containing the silver ion sterilization block 20 is hung in the accommodating cavity 31.

[0046] Specifically, by hanging the cage 10 containing the silver ion sterilization block 20 in the accommodating chamber 31, the silver ion sterilization block 20 slowly releases silver ions in the water, preventing it from floating freely, moving, or accumulating residue in the water, ensuring that the silver ion sterilization block 20 can continuously and stably release silver ions, thereby improving the sterilization effect. In addition, because the silver ion sterilization block 20 can continuously and stably release silver ions, this sterilization method is more efficient than the traditional direct placement of the sterilization block. Silver ions can quickly diffuse in the water and kill microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, thereby improving the sterilization efficiency of the entire water body. In addition, the design of the sterilization device makes the replacement and maintenance of the silver ion sterilization block 20 simple and convenient. When the silver ion sterilization block 20 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to remove the cage 10 from the accommodating chamber 31, replace it with a new silver ion sterilization block 20, and then hang it again. This design reduces maintenance costs and time and improves the availability of the equipment.

[0047] In one embodiment, the sterilization device further includes a shielding plate 50 , which is installed above the cup body 30 , and the filter 40 extends out of the shielding plate 50 .

[0048] Specifically, the baffle 50 acts as a barrier, which can prevent food residue from directly entering the accommodating chamber 31, and allows the food residue to enter the filter 40 for filtration first. Among them. By guiding the food residue to the filter 40 for filtration first, the design of the baffle 50 actually enhances the filtering effect of the entire sterilization device. The filter 40 can capture and remove most of the impurities and pollutants in the food residue, thereby further purifying the water body. This design allows the sterilization device to maintain the cleanliness and sterilization effect of the water body while also reducing the maintenance workload caused by the accumulation of food residue. In addition, because the baffle 50 prevents food residue from directly entering the accommodating chamber 31, it reduces the direct impact and contamination of the residue on the silver ion sterilization block 20 and the filter 40, thereby helping to extend the service life of the equipment. In addition, the silver ion sterilization block 20 can maintain its stable sterilization effect, and the filter 40 can maintain its efficient filtration performance, reducing the cost caused by frequent replacement or maintenance.

[0049] The utility model also discloses a dishwasher, which comprises the silver ion sterilization block placement structure described above.

[0050] Specifically, by hanging a cage containing a silver ion sterilization block in the accommodating cavity, the silver ion sterilization block slowly releases silver ions in the water, preventing it from floating freely, moving, or accumulating residue in the water, ensuring that the sterilization block can continuously and stably release silver ions, and then circulate and flush them onto the tableware through the washing system, thereby achieving the effect of comprehensive sterilization of the tableware.

[0051] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
