[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] Example:

[0043] This embodiment provides a multifunctional support unit, including a first support component and a second support component.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first support assembly includes a first link 11, a second link 12, a third link 13, a fourth link 14, and a fifth link 15, and the second support assembly includes a sixth link 21 and a seventh link 22.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first connecting rod 11 and the second connecting rod 12 both extend along a first direction, and are arranged side by side with intervals. The third connecting rod 13, the fourth connecting rod 14, and the fifth connecting rod 15 all extend along a second direction, and are arranged side by side with intervals. The two ends of the third connecting rod 13 are fixed to the first connecting rod 11 and the second connecting rod 12, respectively, and the two ends of the fourth connecting rod 14 are fixed to the first connecting rod 11 and the second connecting rod 12, respectively. Thus, the first connecting rod 11, the second connecting rod 12, the third connecting rod 13, and the fourth connecting rod 14 form a rectangular or approximately rectangular frame, which is horizontally arranged. The two ends of the fifth connecting rod 15 are fixed to the first connecting rod 11 and the second connecting rod 12, respectively. The fifth connecting rod 15 can be used to support tableware, such as chopsticks, bowls, and plates, so the tableware can be placed on top of the fifth connecting rod 15.

[0046] To increase the stability of the tableware under support, multiple fifth links 15 are generally provided, with all fifth links 15 arranged alternately between the third link 13 and the fourth link 14. For example, in this embodiment, there are three fifth links 15.

[0047] In this embodiment, both the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22 extend along the first direction. The sixth link 21 is fixed to the first link 11, positioned below and spaced apart from the fifth link 15. The seventh link 22 is fixed to the second link 12, also positioned below and spaced apart from the fifth link 15. This avoids direct contact between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, allowing them to be positioned side-by-side and spaced apart.

[0048] The gap between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22 can be used as a channel for the movement of the wine glass handle. The wine glass handle can move through the end of this channel between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, so that the base of the wine glass is supported on the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22. The gaps between the sixth link 21 and the fifth link 15, and the gaps between the seventh link 22 and the fifth link 15, can be used to accommodate the base of the wine glass. Therefore, in this embodiment, the wine glass can be hung upside down on the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, with the entire wine glass located below the fifth link 15.

[0049] It's easy to see that, thanks to the physical barrier of the fifth link 15, the tableware is positioned roughly above it, while the wine glass is completely below it, effectively reducing spatial interference between the tableware and the wine glass. Furthermore, since the tableware and wine glass are only separated by the fifth link 15, they are very close together, resulting in high space utilization inside the sterilizer.

[0050] Preferably, the first support assembly further includes an eighth link 16 and a ninth link 17. In this embodiment, both the eighth link 16 and the ninth link 17 extend in a third direction. The eighth link 16 is fixed to the first link 11, and the eighth link 16 is at least partially located above the first link 11. The ninth link 17 is fixed to the second link 12, and the ninth link 17 is at least partially located above the second link 12. The eighth link 16 and the ninth link 17 can shield the tableware above the fifth link 15, reducing the occurrence of tableware falling from the first link 11 and the second link 12.

[0051] To improve the shielding effect, in this embodiment, there are at least two eighth link 16 and nineth link 17.

[0052] Two of the eighth links 16 are first spacer bars 161, and two of the ninth links 17 are second spacer bars 171. In this embodiment, the two first spacer bars 161 are located at both ends of the first link 11, and the two ninth links 17 are located at both ends of the ninth link 17. The lower ends of the two first spacer bars 161 are located below the first link 11 and are fixed to both ends of the sixth link 21, allowing the sixth link 21 to form a gap with the fifth link 15 through the first spacer bars 161. The lower ends of the two second spacer bars 171 are located below the second link 12 and are fixed to both ends of the seventh link 22, allowing the seventh link 22 to form a gap with the fifth link 15 through the second spacer bars 171.

[0053] The second support assembly also includes a tenth link 23 and an eleventh link 24. In this embodiment, both the tenth link 23 and the eleventh link 24 extend along a second direction. The two ends of the tenth link 23 are respectively fixed to the lower end of the first spacer 161 and the sixth link 21, thereby creating a gap between the sixth link 21 and the first spacer 161 in the second direction. The two ends of the eleventh link 24 are respectively fixed to the lower end of the second spacer 171 and the seventh link 22, thereby creating a gap between the second spacer 171 and the seventh link 22 in the second direction. Through the arrangement of the tenth link 23 and the eleventh link 24, the distance between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22 is smaller than the distance between the first spacer 161 and the second spacer 171. Therefore, when the stem of the wine glass reaches the end of the channel between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, the first spacer 161 and the second spacer 171 can give way to the base of the wine glass, so that the stem of the wine glass can smoothly enter the channel between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22.

[0054] Further preferably, the second support assembly also includes a twelfth link 25 and a thirteenth link 26. In this embodiment, both the twelfth link 25 and the thirteenth link 26 extend in a third direction. The two ends of the twelfth link 25 are fixed to the ends of the tenth link 23 and the sixth link 21, respectively. The sixth link 21 and the tenth link 23 are connected through the twelfth link 25, and the sixth link 21 is positioned below the tenth link 23 via the twelfth link 25. The two ends of the thirteenth link 26 are fixed to the ends of the seventh link 22 and the eleventh link 24, respectively. The seventh link 22 and the eleventh link 24 are connected through the thirteenth link 26, and the seventh link 22 is positioned below the eleventh link 24 via the thirteenth link 26.

[0055] When the stem of the wine glass is at the end of the channel between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, the base of the wine glass needs to be raised appropriately so that it is above the tenth link 23 and the eleventh link 24. This allows the twelfth link 25 and the thirteenth link 26 to avoid the base as the stem enters the channel between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22. After the stem has moved a certain distance, the base will fall and be supported by the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22.

[0056] After the base is supported on the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, it is limited by the twelfth link 25 and the thirteenth link 26, and cannot slide directly from the end of the channel between the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22 by sliding on the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22, thus reducing the risk of the wine glass falling from the end of the sixth link 21 and the seventh link 22.

[0057] The first support assembly in this embodiment also includes a fourteenth link 18, a fifteenth link 19, and a sixteenth link 110. The fourteenth link 18 and the fifteenth link 19 both extend along a first direction, and the sixteenth link 110 extends along a second direction. The upper ends of all eighth links 16 are fixed to the fourteenth link 18, and the upper ends of all ninth links 17 are fixed to the fifteenth link 19. The two ends of the sixteenth link 110 are respectively fixed to the upper ends of the first spacer 161 and the second spacer 171.

[0058] This embodiment also provides a disinfection cabinet, which includes a cabinet body and a multi-functional support assembly.

[0059] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The multi-functional support assembly includes a support plate 3 and at least two of the multi-functional bracket units, with the first support assembly fixed to the support plate 3. At least two multi-functional bracket units can be installed into the cabinet via the support plate 3 for use.

[0060] More specifically, the disinfection cabinet also includes supporting ribs, which are arranged along the inner wall of the cabinet in a first direction. There are two supporting ribs, which are arranged opposite each other in a second direction. Thus, the two side edges of the support plate 3 can be supported on the supporting ribs. Of course, the fixed position of the multi-functional bracket unit on the support plate 3 needs to meet the requirement of avoiding contact with the supporting ribs.

[0061] Among them, the fourteenth link 18, the fifteenth link 19, and the sixteenth link 110 can be used for welding to the support plate 3. The first link 11 and the second link 12 are spaced apart from the support plate 3 through the eighth link 16 and the ninth link 17, so that there is enough space above the fifth link 15 to accommodate tableware.

[0062] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
