Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cutting board for disinfecting and storing kitchen knives. Background Technology

[0002] Cutting boards and knives are indispensable tools in daily cooking, typically used for cutting food. However, traditional cutting boards and knives can easily become breeding grounds for bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms during use, especially when handling raw meat, fish, or other perishable foods. The surfaces of cutting boards and knives may harbor a large number of bacteria, posing a threat to food safety. Although some existing technologies have designs to ensure food hygiene by cleaning and disinfecting knives and cutting boards, most traditional cutting boards still rely on manual washing and lack efficient and convenient disinfection methods.

[0003] Especially in modern kitchens, where space is limited, cleaning and disinfection processes are often cumbersome and time-consuming, particularly when knives and cutting boards need to be washed and disinfected multiple times—a laborious and inefficient process. Current disinfection methods primarily rely on disinfectants, hot water, or ultraviolet light, but these methods often require additional equipment, time, or manual operation, making it difficult to achieve immediate, effective, and convenient disinfection. Furthermore, existing cutting boards only function as cutting boards and cannot effectively store and disinfect knives. Traditional cutting boards and knives are prone to harboring bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms during use, posing a threat to food safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cutting board for disinfecting and storing kitchen knives, which is not only reasonably structured, but also safe and convenient.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a cutting board for disinfecting and storing kitchen knives, including a cutting board body, a storage and disinfection component fixed at one end of the cutting board body, the storage and disinfection component including a base plate, a slot for inserting kitchen knives on the base plate, a cover plate covering the base plate, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp embedded in the top of the cover plate, and a water-resistant rubber being provided between the slot and the cover plate at one end of the slot protruding from the cutting board body.

[0006] Furthermore, the slot is rectangular and is formed from top to bottom on the upper part of the base plate, and the base plate has several water filter holes that communicate with the slot horizontally on its periphery.

[0007] Furthermore, a disinfection tank is provided at the top of the cover plate, the array of ultraviolet disinfection lamps is arranged in the disinfection tank, and a power supply for the disinfection lamps is also provided in the disinfection tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the base plate has an embedded induction switch near the bottom of the slot to sense when the kitchen knife is inserted into the slot. This induction switch is electrically connected to the ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0009] Furthermore, the water-blocking rubber is provided with a funnel-shaped chamfer for guidance.

[0010] Furthermore, both the base plate and the cover plate are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the cutting board.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: the water-resistant rubber effectively prevents water droplets from entering the slot and breeding bacteria, while providing friction to prevent the knife from easily falling out, making it safer and more stable. The integrated design of knife storage and disinfection with the cutting board completely avoids the problems of inconvenient knife storage and disinfection safety in traditional knife storage. Users do not need to prepare additional storage boxes or disinfection devices, effectively solving the problems of storage space and disinfection safety. This patent realizes the integrated design of knife storage and disinfection with the cutting board, which not only maintains the original function and appearance of the cutting board, but also gives it more practical value, fully demonstrating the innovation and practicality of the product.

[0012] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cutting board for disinfecting and storing kitchen knives includes a cutting board body 1. A storage and disinfection component 2 is fixedly provided at one end of the cutting board body. The storage and disinfection component includes a base plate 3. A slot 4 for inserting a kitchen knife 7 is provided on the base plate. A cover plate 5 is provided and fixedly connected to the base plate. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp 6 is embedded in the top of the cover plate. One end of the slot extends out of the cutting board body, and a water-resistant rubber 8 is provided between the slot and the cover plate. Two sets of water-resistant rubber are provided and fixedly connected to the base plate and the cover plate respectively. An insertion hole for inserting a kitchen knife is left between the two water-resistant rubbers. The two opposite sides of the water-resistant rubber are inclined to adapt to the narrowing of the blade. The friction of the water-resistant rubber can also effectively prevent the kitchen knife from easily coming out after being inserted.

[0022] In this embodiment of the utility model, the slot is rectangular and is opened from top to bottom on the upper part of the base plate, and the base plate has a plurality of water filter holes 9 that communicate with the slot horizontally on its periphery.

[0023] In this embodiment of the utility model, a disinfection tank 10 is provided at the top of the cover plate, and the array of ultraviolet disinfection lamps is arranged in the disinfection tank. The disinfection tank is also provided with a power supply for the ultraviolet disinfection lamps, and a timer can also be set to limit the disinfection time each time. The ultraviolet disinfection lamps are automatically turned off after disinfection.

[0024] In this embodiment of the utility model, the base plate is embedded with a sensor switch 11 for sensing the insertion of the kitchen knife into place near the bottom of the slot. The sensor switch is electrically connected to the ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0025] In this embodiment of the utility model, the water-blocking rubber is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer 12 in the shape of a flared mouth for guidance.

[0026] In this embodiment of the utility model, both the bottom plate and the cover plate are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cutting board body.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model embodiment is as follows: After using and washing the knife, the knife body can be aligned with the slot between the water-blocking rubber and inserted. At the same time as insertion, the water-blocking rubber blocks the water droplets on the knife body, ensuring that as few water droplets as possible remain after the knife body is inserted into the slot. When the knife body is inserted to a certain extent, the sensor switch will detect it and start the ultraviolet disinfection lamp to disinfect the knife. Even if there are residual water droplets on the knife body, they can be discharged from the water filter hole.

[0028] This utility model is not limited to the preferred embodiment described above. Anyone can derive other forms of cutting boards for disinfecting and storing kitchen knives based on the inspiration of this utility model. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this utility model shall fall within the scope of this utility model.
