[0040] Example:

[0041] See Figure 12 This embodiment provides a disinfection cabinet, including a cabinet body 200, a first support bar, a second support bar, and a support frame. The first support bar and the second support bar are both disposed on the inner wall of the cabinet body 200. The support frame overlaps the first support bar and the second support bar to divide the cabinet body 200 into an upper disinfection chamber 201 and a lower disinfection chamber 202.

[0042] The support frame includes a first support plate 1 and a second support plate 2.

[0043] See details Figure 5 and Figure 6The first support plate 1 has a first connecting edge 11 and a first supporting edge 12 spaced apart, and the second support plate 2 has a second connecting edge 21 and a second supporting edge 22 spaced apart. The first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21 are fitted together and fixed. The first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2 are not on the same plane; the first support plate 1 is inclined relative to the second support plate 2. Thus, the support frame has a support base surface 100, wherein both the first supporting edge 12 and the second supporting edge 22 are located on the support base surface 100. In use, the first supporting edge 12 rests on the first support bar, and the second supporting edge 22 rests on the second support bar, so that the support base surface 100 remains parallel to the horizontal plane, and the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21 are located between the first supporting edge 12 and the second supporting edge 22.

[0044] See Figures 7-11 The first support plate 1 has a first supporting inclined surface 13 on the side facing away from the supporting base 100. A first drainage hole 131 is provided on the first supporting inclined surface 13, and a first water storage tank 14 is provided inside the first support plate 1. The first drainage hole 131 connects to the first water storage tank 14. The second support plate 2 has a second supporting inclined surface 23 on the side facing away from the supporting base 100. A second drainage hole 231 is provided on the second supporting inclined surface 23, and a second water storage tank 24 is provided inside the second support plate 2. The second drainage hole 231 connects to the second water storage tank 24. Accordingly, when the support frame is in use, both the first supporting inclined surface 13 and the second supporting inclined surface 23 are inclined relative to the horizontal plane.

[0045] Both the first supporting inclined surface 13 and the second supporting inclined surface 23 can be used to support tableware. Taking the first supporting plate 1 as an example, water droplets dripping from the tableware in the upper disinfection chamber 201 first reach the first supporting inclined surface 13, and then flow towards the first supporting edge 12 under the action of gravity. Before reaching the first supporting edge 12, the water droplets pass through the first drain hole 131, and then enter the first water storage tank 14 through the first drain hole 131 to be collected. The collection of water droplets on the first supporting inclined surface 13 by the first water storage tank 14 effectively reduces the occurrence of water droplets falling into the lower disinfection chamber 202, thereby achieving better disinfection and drying effects for the tableware in the lower disinfection chamber 202.

[0046] Similarly, water droplets on the surface of the second support slope 23 will also be collected into the second water storage tank 24 through the second drain hole 231, so that the tableware in the lower disinfection chamber 202 can obtain better disinfection and drying effects.

[0047] To prevent the tableware inside the upper sterilization chamber 201 from moving arbitrarily on the first supporting inclined surface 13 and the second supporting inclined surface 23 due to gravity, the angles between the first supporting inclined surface 13 and the supporting base surface 100, and between the second supporting inclined surface 23 and the supporting base surface 100, should not be too large. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment, the angle between the first supporting inclined surface 13 and the supporting base surface 100 is less than 25°, and the angle between the second supporting inclined surface 23 and the supporting base surface 100 is less than 25°.

[0048] It is easy to understand that the first drain hole 131 increases the friction coefficient of the first supporting inclined surface 13, and the second drain hole 231 increases the friction coefficient of the surface of the second supporting inclined surface 23. Therefore, in addition to guiding water droplets to the first water storage tank 14 and the second water storage tank 24 respectively, the first drain hole 131 and the second drain hole 231 can also prevent the tableware from sliding freely on the first supporting inclined surface 13 and the second supporting inclined surface 23 due to gravity.

[0049] Taking the first supporting inclined surface 13 as an example, the flow direction of water droplets on the first supporting inclined surface 13 is from the first connecting edge 11 to the first supporting edge 12. In order to confine the water droplets between the first connecting edge 11 and the first supporting edge 12, a first water-blocking rib 132 is provided at the edge of the first supporting inclined surface 13, with the two ends of the first water-blocking rib 132 located at the first connecting edge 11 and the first supporting edge 12, respectively.

[0050] Similarly, a second water-blocking rib 232 is provided at the edge of the second support slope 23, with the two ends of the second water-blocking rib 232 located at the second connecting edge 21 and the second support edge 22, respectively.

[0051] It is easy to understand that when there is a lot of water in the first water tank 14 and the second water tank 24, the tableware in the upper disinfection chamber 201 can be removed from the first support slope 13 and the second support slope 23. Then, the support frame can be taken out of the cabinet 200 and inverted, so that the water in the first water tank 14 and the second water tank 24 can be drained out through the first drain hole 131 and the second drain hole 231, respectively. However, the above drainage method requires the tableware to be removed beforehand and also involves the removal and placement of the support frame in the cabinet 200, which is a rather cumbersome process.

[0052] See Figures 8-11 The first support plate 1 also has a first drainage side edge 15, with the two ends of the first drainage side edge 15 located at the first connecting edge 11 and the first support edge 12, respectively. The second support plate 2 also has a second drainage side edge 25, with the two ends of the second drainage side edge 25 located at the second connecting edge 21 and the second support edge 22, respectively.

[0053] To address the cumbersome drainage process, a first drain outlet 151 is provided on the first drainage side 15, connecting to the first water storage tank 14. A second drain outlet 251 is provided on the second drainage side 25, connecting to the second water storage tank 24. After the tableware disinfection and drying are completed, there is no need to remove the tableware from the first and second support slopes 13 and 23, nor is it necessary to remove or place the support frame. The water in the first water storage tank 14 can be directly drained and collected through the first drain outlet 151, and the water in the second water storage tank 24 can be directly drained and collected through the second drain outlet 251, thus greatly simplifying the drainage process for the water in the first and second water storage tanks 14 and 24.

[0054] Of course, during the disinfection and drying process, the first drain outlet 151 and the second drain outlet 251 need to be sealed. Therefore, see [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the support frame also includes a first sealing plug 3 and a second sealing plug 4. The first sealing plug 3 is detachably installed at the first drain outlet 151, and the second sealing plug 4 is detachably installed at the second drain outlet 251. The first sealing plug 3 and the second sealing plug 4 are typically made of rubber or plastic to achieve detachable installation through deformation.

[0055] Preferably, there are two first drainage side edges 15 and two second drainage side edges 25. Each of the two first drainage side edges 15 is provided with a first drainage outlet 151, and each of the two second drainage side edges 25 is provided with a second drainage outlet 251. Thus, regardless of the installation orientation of the support frame, the opening of the cabinet 200 always has a first drainage outlet 151 and a second drainage outlet 251.

[0056] Disinfection cabinets typically use heating elements for heating. In this embodiment, the heating element is located directly below the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21, so the hot airflow will first reach the connection between the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21.

[0057] See Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The side of the first support plate 1 closest to the support base 100 is the first heat-conducting surface 16, and the side of the second support plate 2 closest to the support base 100 is the second heat-conducting surface 26. The first heat-conducting surface 16 is inclined relative to the second heat-conducting surface 26. The hot airflow at the location of the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21 can be guided by the first heat-conducting surface 16 and the second heat-conducting surface 26 to the first support edge 12 and the second support edge 22, so that the entire first support plate 1 and the entire second support plate 2 can be uniformly heated, avoiding excessive heat concentration at the connection between the first connecting edge 11 and the second connecting edge 21.

[0058] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 To improve the heat transfer of the hot airflow to the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2, the support frame also includes a heat-conducting film 5. The heat-conducting film 5 is attached to the first heat-conducting surface 16 and the second heat-conducting surface 26 to increase the heat transfer efficiency of the hot airflow to the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2.

[0059] In addition, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the first heat-conducting surface 16 forms a first positioning groove 161 through indentation, and the second heat-conducting surface 26 forms a second positioning groove 261 through indentation. The first positioning groove 161 is connected to the second positioning groove 261. The edge of the heat-conducting film 5 abuts against the side wall of the first positioning groove 161 and the side wall of the second positioning groove 261, so that the heat-conducting film 5 can be better positioned on the first heat-conducting surface 16 and the second heat-conducting surface 26.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.
