[0036] The liquid can be directly received at the liquid outlet pipe 3 using a container, and a contact switch or a door and window sensor can be arranged at the connection between the cabinet door 4 and the vending mouth 2, so that when the cabinet door 4 is opened, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp is turned off, and when the cabinet door 4 is closed, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp is turned on to perform sterilization work.
[0037] As Figure 1 shown in embodiment 1, the upper side of the vending mouth 2 is provided with a mounting groove 6, and the purple light sterilization lamp 5 is arranged in the mounting groove 6.
[0038] The purple light sterilization lamp 5 is arranged inside the mounting groove 6, does not affect the operation inside the vending mouth 2, and is not easy to be contaminated.
[0039] As Figures 2-4 shown in embodiment 2, the purple light sterilization lamp 5 is arranged on the inner side top of the vending mouth 2, and the purple light sterilization lamp 5 is arranged centrally.
[0040] The purple light sterilization lamp 5 is directly arranged inside the vending mouth 2, facilitating cleaning and dismounting of the ultraviolet sterilization lamp.
[0041] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown in embodiment 3, the bottom surface of the vending mouth 2 is upwardly protruded in the middle to form a first reflection part 7 in the shape of a circular arc, and the first reflection part 7 is arranged opposite to the purple light sterilization lamp 5.
[0042] The two opposite sidewalls of the vending port 2 are recessed inward to form a folded groove 8. The upper part of the folded groove 8 is disposed opposite to the first reflective part 7, and the lower part of the folded groove 8 is disposed opposite to the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5.
[0043] The ultraviolet germicidal lamp is set along the width direction of the vending slot 2. The length of the first reflective part 7 is perpendicular to the length direction of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp. The arc-shaped first reflective part 7 can concentrate the light of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp and reflect the ultraviolet rays evenly.
[0044] The angled groove 8 can directly reflect the light from the ultraviolet germicidal lamp, and at the same time, it can further reflect the ultraviolet rays reflected by the first reflector 7, thereby increasing the coverage area of ultraviolet rays inside the sales port 2 and ensuring the disinfection effect.
[0045] like Figure 7 In the embodiment 4 shown, the tube opening disinfection assembly includes a first connecting rod 9 and a disinfection sleeve 10. A first drive motor 11 is disposed between the first connecting rod 9 and the inner wall of the vending port 2. The disinfection sleeve 10 is connected to the outer end of the first connecting rod 9. When the first drive motor 11 is running, it drives the disinfection sleeve 10 to rotate to the lower side of the outlet tube 3. The inside of the disinfection sleeve 10 is equipped with a tube opening disinfection lamp 12.
[0046] When the cabinet door 4 is opened, the disinfection sleeve 10 rotates backward and fits against the rear side of the sales opening 2, without affecting the liquid discharge from the outlet pipe 3. When the cabinet door 4 is closed, the first drive motor 11 drives the disinfection sleeve 10 to rotate forward, positioning the disinfection sleeve 10 below the outlet pipe 3. The disinfection lamp 12 at the inlet of the disinfection sleeve 10 then irradiates and sterilizes the lower end of the outlet pipe 3 and the inner wall of the inlet. The disinfection lamp 12 at the inlet and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp installed inside the sales opening 2 can be installed simultaneously.

The water-absorbing sponge 21 is arranged at the inner bottom of the disinfection cup 14.
[0053] The inner bottom of the disinfection cup 14 is concave downward to form a circular arc surface, which is convenient for completely draining the cleaning water. At the same time, in order to ensure the drainage effect of the cleaning water, a negative pressure pump is connected at the outer end of the drain pipe 20 to timely drain the cleaning water.
[0054] In specific use, the cabinet door 4 is rotatably connected with the liquid vending machine body 1, and the cabinet door 4 and the liquid vending machine body 1 are lockable. A contact switch or a door and window sensor is arranged between the cabinet door 4 and the liquid vending machine body 1 to detect the opening and closing of the cabinet door 4.
[0055] When the cabinet door 4 is opened, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp, the disinfection sleeve 10 and the disinfection cup 14 are all closed and stored.
[0056] When the cabinet door 4 is closed, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp is turned on to disinfect the inside of the vending port 2, and is kept on for a period of time and then turned off to ensure the disinfection effect.
[0057] Meanwhile, the disinfection sleeve 10 can be rotated to the lower end of the liquid outlet pipe 3 by the first driving motor 11 to irradiate and disinfect the pipe opening of the liquid outlet pipe 3; or the disinfection cup 14 is rotated upward by the second driving motor 15 to flush the inside and outside of the pipe opening of the liquid outlet pipe 3, the washing water flow is downwardly inclined, and the washing water directly drops on the water-absorbing sponge 21 to avoid splashing of the washing water, and the washing water is quickly emptied;
[0058] For the selling equipment of viscous liquid, such as dairy products, the residual liquid can be efficiently cleaned by the disinfection cup 14 to avoid breeding of bacteria.
[0059] The above specific embodiments are only specific cases of the utility model, and the patent protection range of the utility model includes but is not limited to the product forms and styles of the above specific embodiments. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by any ordinary skilled person in the corresponding technical field to the liquid vending machine ultraviolet light sterilization device shall fall within the patent protection range of the utility model.
