Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfection cabinets, and in particular to a support rod and a disinfection cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A disinfection cabinet consists of a cabinet and shelves. The shelves are placed inside the cabinet and divide the cabinet into an upper disinfection chamber and a lower disinfection chamber. Water droplets remaining on the surface of the tableware in the upper disinfection chamber will drip down the edge of the shelves onto the tableware in the lower disinfection chamber. This means that the tableware in the lower disinfection chamber takes longer to dry, and the disinfection cabinet needs to work for a longer time to dry all the tableware inside. In addition, it also results in higher energy consumption for each operation of the disinfection cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a support rod and a disinfection cabinet to address the issues of long working times and high energy consumption of disinfection cabinets.

[0004] A support rod includes a base plate, a first enclosure plate, a second enclosure plate, a mounting plate, a support plate, and a baffle plate. The first enclosure plate, the second enclosure plate, and the mounting plate are sequentially spaced on the upper surface of the base plate. The top edges of the first enclosure plate and the second enclosure plate are fixed to the lower surface of the support plate, so that the first enclosure plate, the support plate, the second enclosure plate, and the base plate form a water collection trough. A first drain outlet is provided on the support plate, which is connected to the water collection trough. A first support rib is provided on the upper surface of the support plate, and the first support rib is spaced apart from the first drain outlet. The bottom edge of the baffle plate is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate. The first drain outlet is located between the first support rib and the baffle plate. A first vent hole is provided on the mounting plate.

[0005] The support rod of this utility model also includes a vent plate. The top edge of the baffle plate and the top edge of the mounting plate are fixed to the lower surface of the vent plate. The second enclosure plate, the baffle plate, the vent plate, the mounting plate and the bottom plate are arranged to form an exhaust groove. A first vent hole is provided on the vent plate. The first exhaust hole and the first vent hole are connected to the exhaust groove.

[0006] The base plate of this utility model has a second vent hole, which is connected to the exhaust groove.

[0007] The distance between the top edge of the baffle and the mounting plate is less than the distance between the bottom edge of the baffle and the mounting plate. A third vent hole is provided on the baffle, and the third vent hole is connected to the exhaust groove.

[0008] The top edge of the baffle plate of this utility model is located above the first supporting rib, and the third vent is located above the first supporting rib.

[0009] The base plate, the second enclosure plate, and the mounting plate of this utility model all extend along the first direction.

[0010] The support plate of this utility model is provided with a second support rib on its upper surface. The second support rib is located on the side of the first support rib away from the baffle plate, and the second support rib and the first support rib are spaced apart. The support plate is also provided with a second drain outlet, which is located between the second support rib and the first support rib, and the second drain outlet is connected to the water collection tank.

[0011] The mounting plate of this utility model has a bent plate on the side facing away from the baffle plate. The bent plate and the mounting plate form an insertion groove. The support rod also includes a connecting plate. The top edge of the connecting plate is located inside the insertion groove, and the bottom edge of the connecting plate is located outside the insertion groove. A connecting post is provided on the connecting plate. The end of the connecting post is fixed to the side of the connecting plate facing away from the mounting plate, and the connecting post is located outside the insertion groove. A fourth exhaust hole is provided in the middle of the connecting post, and the fourth exhaust hole communicates with the first exhaust hole.

[0012] A disinfection cabinet includes a cabinet body and the aforementioned support rod. A fifth exhaust hole is provided on the side wall of the cabinet body, and the fifth exhaust hole is connected to the outside of the cabinet body. The mounting plate is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet body so that the first exhaust hole is connected to the fifth exhaust hole.

[0013] The disinfection cabinet of this utility model also includes a shelf, the edge of which is supported on the first support rib, so that the lower surface of the shelf is spaced apart from the support plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] After the shelf edge is supported by the first support rib, water droplets on the upper surface of the shelf first flow to the side edge of the shelf, and then flow along the shelf edge to the lower surface of the shelf. During their flow on the lower surface, the water droplets are blocked by the first support rib and their flow path is changed. Instead, they flow along the first support rib to the first drain, and finally into the water collection tank. This method reduces the amount of water dripping downwards from the shelf, thereby accelerating the drying speed of the tableware below the shelf and reducing the single-cycle working time and energy consumption of the sterilizer.

[0016] If a large amount of water flows along the first support rib to the first drain, the baffle plate can limit the water droplets, allowing them to slowly enter the water collection tank and preventing them from flowing to the edge of the support plate and dripping down, thereby improving the water collection tank's ability to collect water droplets on the shelf.

[0017] During the heating process inside the cabinet, the water droplets collected inside the water collection tank are converted into water vapor. They can then leave the water collection tank through the first drain and go to the first vent. Finally, they are discharged outside the cabinet through the fifth vent, thereby reducing the humidity of the cabinet and accelerating the drying speed of the tableware inside the cabinet.

[0040] Example:

[0041] See Figure 13 and Figure 14 This embodiment provides a disinfection cabinet, including a cabinet body 200, a support rod, and a shelf 300. The support rod is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet body 200, and the edge of the shelf 300 is supported on the support rod to divide the cabinet body 200 into an upper disinfection chamber and a lower disinfection chamber.

[0042] See Figures 1-9The support rod includes a base plate 1, a first enclosure plate 2, a second enclosure plate 3, a mounting plate 4, a support plate 5, and a baffle plate 6. The base plate 1, the first enclosure plate 2, the second enclosure plate 3, the mounting plate 4, the support plate 5, and the baffle plate 6 are all elongated strips and extend along a first direction.

[0043] See Figure 7 The base plate 1 is generally horizontally positioned. The first enclosure plate 2, the second enclosure plate 3, and the mounting plate 4 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the base plate 1. The bottom edges of the first enclosure plate 2, the second enclosure plate 3, and the mounting plate 4 are fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The second enclosure plate 3 is located between the first enclosure plate 2 and the mounting plate 4, with the first enclosure plate 2 and the second enclosure plate 3 spaced apart, and the second enclosure plate 3 and the mounting plate 4 also spaced apart. The support plate 5 is also generally horizontally positioned. The top edges of the first enclosure plate 2 and the second enclosure plate 3 are fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 5. Thus, the first enclosure plate 2, the support plate 5, the second enclosure plate 3, and the base plate 1 form a water collection trough 7. An end cap 12 can be installed at the end of the base plate 1 to seal the end of the water collection trough 7. The end cap 12 is detachable at the end of the water collection trough 7. A first drain outlet 51 is provided on the support plate 5, connecting to the water collection trough 7. The upper surface of the support plate 5 is provided with a first support rib 52, and the first support rib 52 is spaced apart from the first drain outlet 51, which is located between the first support rib 52 and the mounting plate 4. The baffle plate 6 is set at an angle to the support plate 5, and the bottom edge of the baffle plate 6 is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 5 and spaced apart from the first drain outlet 51, which is located between the first support rib 52 and the bottom edge of the baffle plate 6.

[0044] See Figure 10 A fifth vent 201 is provided on the side wall of the cabinet 200, and the fifth vent 201 connects to the outside of the cabinet 200. See also Figures 7-9 The mounting plate 4 is provided with a first vent 41. (See also...) Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting plate 4 is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 200 so that the first exhaust hole 41 is connected to the fifth exhaust hole 201.

[0045] See Figure 14 The shelf 300 is supported on the first support rib 52 at its edge, so that the lower surface of the shelf 300 can be spaced apart from the support plate 5, thus avoiding the lower surface of the shelf 300 from blocking the first drain outlet 51.

[0046] See Figure 7 and Figure 14The upper surface of the shelf 300 supports tableware. Water droplets from the tableware fall onto the upper surface of the shelf 300 and first flow to the side edge of the shelf 300, and then to the lower surface of the shelf 300. Since the top edge of the first support rib 52 is in contact with the lower surface of the shelf 300, the water droplets are blocked by the first support rib 52 as they flow from the edge of the lower surface of the shelf 300 to the center of the lower surface. This changes the original flow path, and the water droplets flow along the first support rib 52 to the first drain 51, and finally flow into the water collection tank 7 for collection. This prevents the collected water droplets from falling below the shelf 300, thus allowing the tableware in the lower disinfection chamber to dry faster and reducing the single working time and energy consumption of the disinfection cabinet.

[0047] The first supporting rib 52, the supporting plate 5, and the baffle plate 6 form a temporary water storage space. If a large amount of water flows along the first supporting rib 52 to the first drain 51, preventing water droplets from entering the water collection tank 7 in time, the baffle plate 6 can temporarily keep the water droplets in the temporary water storage space and allow them to slowly enter the water collection tank 7, instead of flowing to the edge of the supporting plate 5 and dripping. In other words, the baffle plate 6 can improve the water collection tank 7's ability to collect water droplets on the shelf 300, reducing the amount of water that eventually drips into the lower disinfection chamber.

[0048] In this embodiment, the top edge of the baffle 6 is located above the first support rib 52, and the distance between the top edge of the baffle 6 and the mounting plate 4 is smaller than the distance between the bottom edge of the baffle 6 and the mounting plate 4. The baffle 6 is tilted towards the mounting plate 4 as a whole, so that a certain gap can be generated between the top edge of the baffle 6 and the upper surface of the shelf 300, to prevent the shelf 300 and the baffle 6 from sticking together, so that water droplets on the upper surface of the shelf 300 can flow along the side edge of the shelf 300 to the lower surface of the shelf 300.

[0049] Similarly, considering that when the water droplet flow rate on the lower surface of the shelf 300 is large, the water droplets may not be completely blocked when passing the first support rib 52, and some water droplets may continue to flow towards the center of the lower surface of the shelf 300 through the gap between the lower surface of the shelf 300 and the first support rib 52. To address this situation, as a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the support plate 5 is also provided with a second support rib 53. The second support rib 53 is located on the side of the first support rib 52 away from the baffle plate 6, and the second support rib 53 and the first support rib 52 are spaced apart. The edge of the lower surface of the shelf 300 is supported by both the second support rib 53 and the first support rib 52. The second support rib 53 can not only increase the support stability of the shelf 300, but also provide secondary blocking for water droplets on the lower surface of the shelf 300 that cross the first support rib 52. The support plate 5 is also provided with a second drain outlet 54, which is located between the second support rib 53 and the first support rib 52, and is connected to the water collection tank 7. Water droplets blocked by the second support rib 53 can flow along the second support rib 53 to the second drain outlet 54, and then enter the water collection tank 7. Therefore, the second support rib 53 can also improve the water collection tank 7's ability to collect water droplets on the shelf 300.

[0050] During the heating process inside the cabinet 200, the moisture inside gradually transforms into water vapor. Based on the temperature and humidity differences between the inside and outside of the cabinet 200, the water vapor inside the cabinet 200 can be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 200 through the first exhaust port 41 and the fifth exhaust port 201, thereby reducing the humidity of the cabinet 200 and accelerating the drying speed of the tableware inside the cabinet 200. As for the water collection tank 7, the water droplets collected inside, after transforming into water vapor, can leave the water collection tank 7 through the first drain port 51 and the second drain port 54 and go to the first exhaust port 41. In other words, the first drain port 51 and the second drain port 54 can not only serve as a passage for water droplets to enter the water collection tank 7, but also as a passage for water vapor to leave the water collection tank 7.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the support rod also includes a vent plate 8, which also extends along the first direction and is generally horizontal. The top edge of the baffle plate 6 and the top edge of the mounting plate 4 are fixed to the lower surface of the vent plate 8. The vent plate 8 can increase the mechanical strength of the support rod.

[0052] The second enclosure 3, baffle 6, vent plate 8, mounting plate 4, and base plate 1 form an exhaust trough 9. The vent plate 8 has a first vent hole 81. Correspondingly, the first exhaust hole 41 and the first vent hole 81 are connected to the exhaust trough 9, and water vapor in the cabinet 200 can go to the first exhaust hole 41 through the first vent hole 81.

[0053] In addition, a second vent 11 is provided on the base plate 1, which is also connected to the exhaust duct 9. The water vapor with a higher temperature in the lower disinfection chamber flows upward from bottom to top, so it can reach the first exhaust vent 41 through the second vent 11.

[0054] In this embodiment, a third vent 61 is provided on the baffle plate 6, which is connected to the exhaust trough 9. Water vapor generated in the water collection tank 7, after leaving the water collection tank 7 through the first drain 51 and the second drain 54, can directly pass through the third vent 61 to the first exhaust vent 41. Compared to the second vent 11 and the first vent 81, the third vent 61 can shorten the path length and time for water vapor in the water collection tank 7 to reach the first exhaust vent 41, thereby accelerating the discharge of water vapor from the cabinet 200.

[0055] Furthermore, since the top edge of the baffle 6 is higher than the first support rib 52, the third vent 61 can be located above the first support rib 52 to reduce the occurrence of water droplets entering the exhaust channel 9 through the third vent 61.

[0056] A bent plate 42 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 4 facing away from the baffle plate 6. The bent plate 42 and the mounting plate 4 form an insertion groove 43, with the opening of the insertion groove 43 facing downward. The support rod also includes a connecting plate 10, which is generally perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The top edge of the connecting plate 10 is located inside the insertion groove 43, and the bottom edge of the connecting plate 10 is located outside the insertion groove 43. The connecting plate 10 and the mounting plate 4 are in close contact.

[0057] A connecting post 101 is provided on the connecting plate 10. The connecting post 101 is perpendicular to the connecting plate 10 and is located outside the insertion slot 43. The end of the connecting post 101 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 10 facing away from the mounting plate 4. A fourth vent hole 102 is provided in the middle of the connecting post 101, and the fourth vent hole 102 extends through to the first vent hole 41. The connecting post 101 is inserted into the fifth vent hole 201 so that the first vent hole 41 is connected to the outside of the cabinet 200.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.
