Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically relating to a drying system for a baby bottle washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Baby bottle washer drying systems focus on the cleanliness and hygiene of baby care products, aiming to ensure that bottles are thoroughly washed and dried after use to eliminate bacteria and microorganisms, thereby protecting the baby's health. However, existing baby bottle washer systems have some shortcomings in drying, especially since components such as the fan are often installed at the bottom to reduce size. This can cause water or steam from the washing chamber to leak out along the fan duct, potentially damaging the fan. Furthermore, the small opening of the bottles results in poor drying inside. These problems urgently need to be addressed to improve the performance and safety of baby bottle washer systems. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a drying system for a baby bottle washing machine, aiming to solve the problem that the air duct of the drying system of a baby bottle washing machine is prone to moisture in the prior art.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a drying system for a baby bottle washing machine, including a hot air channel and a hot air assembly. The hot air channel includes a drying channel and a U-shaped air duct with its opening facing downwards. One end of the U-shaped air duct is connected to the hot air assembly, and the other end of the U-shaped air duct is connected to the drying channel.
[0006] The drying channel is equipped with several air outlets for discharging hot air.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the hot air assembly includes a hot air fan and a heater, with the heater located between the air outlet of the hot air fan and the air inlet of the U-shaped air duct.
[0008] Based on the above solution, by placing the heater between the outlet of the hot air fan and the inlet of the U-shaped air duct, the cold air blown by the fan is effectively converted into hot air, thereby improving drying efficiency and uniformity. Simultaneously, the high-temperature hot air kills bacteria and microorganisms in the baby bottle, ensuring the baby's health. Furthermore, this layout helps prevent backflow and protects the fan from damage due to moisture, thus extending the equipment's lifespan and saving energy.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, both the hot air fan and the heater are located below the U-shaped air duct.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the drying channel includes an air inlet chamber that communicates with the air inlet end of the drying channel, and the U-shaped air duct has an air outlet end, with the air inlet chamber and the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct being correspondingly arranged.
[0011] Based on the above scheme, the drying channel includes an air inlet chamber, which is connected to the air inlet end of the drying channel. The U-shaped air duct is provided with an air outlet end, and the air inlet chamber and the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct are correspondingly arranged. This design allows hot air to enter the air chamber of the drying channel from the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct, be evenly distributed through the air inlet chamber, and then blown out through the air outlet of the drying channel, forming an effective hot air circulation. This ensures that the baby bottle is heated evenly during the drying process, improves drying efficiency, reduces heat loss, and optimizes the drying effect.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the air outlet of the U-shaped air duct is located above the air inlet of the U-shaped air duct.
[0013] Based on the above scheme, the air outlet of the U-shaped air duct is located above the air inlet. This design utilizes the principle of hot air rising, allowing the hot air to rise naturally within the U-shaped air duct, thereby more effectively delivering the hot air to the drying channel and enhancing drying efficiency. At the same time, this layout helps reduce the backflow and turbulence of hot air during the drying process, ensuring that the hot air can be concentrated and continuously dried on the baby bottles, improving the uniformity and effectiveness of drying.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the air inlet chamber gradually increases from the end closest to the drying channel to the end furthest from the drying channel.
[0015] Based on the above scheme, the design of the air inlet cavity with the pipe diameter gradually increasing from the end closer to the drying channel to the end farther away from the drying channel can make the airflow in the air duct system more stable, reduce the energy loss of the airflow when passing through the variable diameter section, and thus improve the energy efficiency of the entire drying system.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the drying channel is annular.
[0017] Based on the above scheme, the drying channel is ring-shaped, allowing the baby bottles to be placed around the drying channel. Since the drying channel is equipped with air outlets, the ring-shaped distribution not only accelerates the hot air circulation speed, thereby speeding up the drying process, but also maximizes the utilization of space.
[0018] Secondly, this utility model provides a baby bottle cleaning machine, including a drying system of any of the baby bottle cleaning machines described in the first aspect.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the baby bottle cleaning machine further includes a body and a cleaning chamber located within the body, wherein the U-shaped air duct and the hot air assembly are both located outside the cleaning chamber.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the drying channel is located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber.
[0021] Based on the above scheme, the U-shaped air duct is located outside the cleaning chamber, while the drying channel is located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber. This layout separates the drying process from the cleaning process in space, which helps to keep the drying channel dry and clean, while avoiding the impact of water vapor or residue generated during cleaning on the drying effect.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0023] This invention provides a drying system for a baby bottle washing machine and the machine itself. Through a U-shaped air duct layout and a unidirectional hot air flow design, it utilizes the natural law of rising hot air and structural elevation differences to prevent cold air or moisture from flowing back into the hot air assembly, ensuring continuous unidirectional hot air flow. This improves drying efficiency and effectiveness while protecting the hot air assembly. Furthermore, by connecting the hot air assembly to one end of the U-shaped air duct, hot air can directly enter the inside of the bottle, creating forced convection and enhancing the drying effect, ensuring the bottle is thoroughly dry before use. Several air vents on the drying channel further facilitate unidirectional hot air flow, preventing backflow and improving drying efficiency. This allows the bottles to be used quickly after washing, while also preventing bacterial growth inside the bottles due to prolonged moisture. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a drying system for a baby bottle washing machine, including a hot air channel and a hot air assembly. The hot air channel includes a drying channel and a U-shaped air duct with its opening facing downwards. One end of the U-shaped air duct is connected to the hot air assembly, and the other end of the U-shaped air duct is connected to the drying channel.
[0034] The drying channel is equipped with several air outlets for discharging hot air.
[0035] The hot air assembly includes a hot air fan and a heater, with the heater located between the air outlet of the hot air fan and the air inlet of the U-shaped air duct.
[0036] Specifically, the hot air fan, heater, and U-shaped duct form a continuous airflow path. The hot air fan generates cold air, which is then heated by the heater, and finally the heated air enters the U-shaped duct.
[0037] In addition, both the hot air fan and the heater are located below the U-shaped air duct.
[0038] Specifically, the air generated by the hot air fan is first heated by the heater and then flows upward into the U-shaped air duct.
[0039] In order to form an effective hot air circulation, based on any of the above schemes, the drying channel includes an air inlet cavity, which is connected to the air inlet end of the drying channel, and the U-shaped air duct is provided with an air outlet end, with the air inlet cavity and the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct being arranged correspondingly.
[0040] Furthermore, the air outlet of the U-shaped air duct is located above the air inlet of the U-shaped air duct.
[0041] Specifically, the air inlet chamber of the drying channel is connected to the air inlet end of the drying channel. Hot air flows from the air inlet chamber into the air inlet end of the drying channel, thus entering the drying channel. Simultaneously, the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct is located above the air inlet end of the U-shaped air duct, allowing hot air to rise naturally and be discharged through the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct. The air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct is positioned opposite to the air inlet chamber of the drying channel. After entering the air inlet chamber of the drying channel from the air outlet end of the U-shaped air duct, the hot air flows along the drying channel and is then discharged through the air outlet of the drying channel.
[0042] In addition, the diameter of the air inlet chamber gradually increases from the end closest to the drying channel to the end furthest from the drying channel.
[0043] Specifically, the air inlet cavity is integrated with the drying channel. The air inlet cavity is funnel-shaped, with the larger diameter end facing the air outlet of the U-shaped channel and the smaller diameter end connected to the drying channel.
[0044] To accelerate the hot air circulation, the drying channel is annular, based on any of the above schemes.
[0045] Specifically, the drying channel is equipped with several air outlets. The baby bottle is placed upside down above the drying channel, and each air outlet faces the inside of the baby bottle, so that the hot air can accurately dry the inside of the baby bottle.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a baby bottle cleaning machine, including a drying system of a baby bottle cleaning machine as described in any of the embodiments.
[0048] In addition, the baby bottle cleaning machine also includes a body and a cleaning chamber located inside the body, with the U-shaped air duct and the hot air assembly located outside the cleaning chamber.
[0049] Specifically, the U-shaped air duct is located on the left side of the cleaning chamber, and the hot air assembly is located below the cleaning chamber.
[0050] The drying channel is located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber.
[0051] The following explanation, based on the working principle, further illustrates this utility model:
[0052] The hot air fan generates airflow, which is heated by the heater and then sent into the air inlet of the U-shaped air duct. Since the air outlet of the U-shaped air duct is designed above the air inlet, the hot air rises naturally and flows from the air outlet into the air inlet chamber corresponding to the air outlet of the U-shaped air duct. Then the hot air enters the drying channel and is evenly distributed through the air outlet holes set on the drying channel to dry the baby bottle.
[0053] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
