Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware, and in particular to a dish sterilizer with hot air circulation function. Background Technology

[0002] Dish sterilizers are appliances designed specifically for homes or restaurants. They are primarily used to sterilize tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, and cups to ensure food hygiene. They kill or remove bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms from tableware through physical methods, thereby reducing the risk of disease transmission. Dish sterilizers with hot air functions can sterilize tableware using ultraviolet light, ozone, or high-temperature steam. They can also dry the tableware with hot air after sterilization. This dual-function design keeps the tableware dry after sterilization, preventing the regrowth of bacteria in a damp environment and further improving the hygiene level of the tableware. Existing dish sterilizers place the tableware in a pull-out basket and then use a hot air sterilizer to sterilize and dry it. However, the hot air can cause the tableware to shake, potentially damaging it and limiting its usability.

[0003] To address the above issues, a dish sterilizer with hot air circulation function has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing dish sterilizers that place dishes in a pull-out basket and then sterilize and dry them with hot air, which can cause the dishes to shake and potentially damage them, thus limiting their use, this utility model provides a dish sterilizer with a hot air circulation function.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a dish sterilizer with hot air circulation function includes a cabinet body, a hot air sterilizer installed on the cabinet body, two drawers slidably connected to the cabinet body, each drawer having a panel connected to it, five casters rotatably connected to the left and right sides of each drawer, the casters being slidably connected to the cabinet body, several reserved holes on the left and right sides of each drawer, and through holes on the four corners of each drawer, a first pull-out basket snapped onto the upper drawer, and a second pull-out basket snapped onto the lower drawer, both the first and second pull-out baskets snapping onto adjacent through holes, three guide plates installed inside the cabinet body, and protective mechanisms on each drawer.

[0019] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "up," "down," "left," and "right" used in this document refer only to the position of the structure shown in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, terms such as "connection" and "linkage" in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).

[0020] A dish sterilizer with hot air circulation function, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, on which a hot air sterilizer 2 is installed. Two drawers 3 are slidably connected to the cabinet body 1. Each drawer 3 has a panel 31 connected to it, and each panel 31 has a handle. Five casters 32 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of each drawer 3. The casters 32 are slidably connected to the cabinet body 1. Several reserved holes 33 are provided on the left and right sides of each drawer 3. Through holes 34 are provided on the four corners of each drawer 3. A first pull-out basket 4 is snapped onto the upper drawer 3, and a second pull-out basket 5 is snapped onto the lower drawer 3. Both the first pull-out basket 4 and the second pull-out basket 5 are snapped onto the adjacent through holes 34. Both the first pull-out basket 4 and the second pull-out basket 5 are detachable connection structures. Three baffles 6 are installed on the inside of the cabinet body 1. The inside of each baffle 6 is an arc-shaped structure. Each drawer 3 is equipped with a protective mechanism 7.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the protective mechanism 7 includes a connecting plate 71, and each of the reserved holes 33 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 71. Each of the connecting plates 71 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 71, and each of the left and right adjacent connecting plates 71 is connected to a protective plate 72.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a buffer mechanism 8, which includes a mounting plate 81. The upper and lower parts of the rear of the cabinet 1 are connected to symmetrical mounting plates 81. An outer cylinder 83 is connected to each mounting plate 81, and an inner cylinder 82 is also connected to each mounting plate 81. The inner cylinder 82 is located inside the adjacent outer cylinder 83. A contact plate 84 is slidably connected between the inner cylinder 82 and the adjacent outer cylinder 83. A spring 85 is connected between the contact plate 84 and the adjacent mounting plate 81. The contact plate 84 is in contact with the adjacent drawer 3.

[0023] It should be noted that dish sterilizers are appliances specifically designed for homes or restaurants. They are primarily used to sterilize tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, and cups to ensure food hygiene. They kill or remove bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms from tableware through physical methods, thereby reducing the risk of disease transmission. Dish sterilizers with hot air functions can sterilize tableware using ultraviolet light, ozone, or high-temperature steam. They can also dry the tableware with hot air after sterilization. This dual-function design ensures that the tableware remains dry after sterilization, preventing the regrowth of bacteria in a damp environment and further improving the hygiene level of the tableware. First, using the handle on panel 31, drawer 3 is pulled outwards. The pulley 32 rotates, causing drawer 3 to slide outwards. This changes sliding friction to rolling friction, making it easier to pull drawer 3 out and extending its lifespan. To prevent damage to the tableware due to shaking during hot air sterilization, protective covers can be provided. After placing the bowls into the first pull-out basket 4 and the second pull-out basket 5 respectively, the connecting plate 71 is slid down into the corresponding reserved hole 33. The height of the connecting plate 71 is adjusted according to the size of the bowls, and the adjacent connecting plates 71 are limited by the rubber block 73. The rubber block 73 can increase the sliding friction of the adjacent connecting plates 71, thereby limiting the connection plate 71. The protective plate 72 can prevent the bowls from shaking between each row, thus protecting the bowls. After the connecting plate 71 is adjusted, the drawer 3 is pushed inward to reset. To prevent the back of the drawer 3 from directly contacting the cabinet 1 and causing damage, the inward reset of the drawer 3 can be buffered. When the drawer 3 contacts the contact plate 84, the contact plate 84 moves backward, and the spring 85 is compressed, thereby buffering the backward movement of the drawer 3 and protecting the drawer 3. After the drawer 3 is reset, the hot air sterilizer 2 is turned on. The hot air is directed downward to sterilize and dry the bowls. The guide plate 6 guides the hot air, making the hot air more concentrated, thereby enhancing the hot air sterilization and drying effect.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
