Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of disinfection and storage equipment technology, and in particular to a disinfection box. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most beauty devices are used through contact with the skin, making the skin-contacting parts prone to bacterial and viral growth. Therefore, these devices need to be disinfected periodically to prevent bacteria and viruses from affecting skin health. To facilitate disinfection, manufacturers have introduced disinfection boxes for beauty devices. Users simply place the device inside and close the lid to disinfect it.
[0003] The existing disinfection control scheme for disinfection boxes works as follows: A detection sensor is used to detect the state of the lid (closed or uncovered). The sensor sends different voltage levels to the controller when the lid is closed (i.e., closed) and uncovered (i.e., open), respectively (e.g., a high voltage level when the lid is closed and a low voltage level when the lid is uncovered). The controller then determines the lid's state based on the received voltage level signals from the sensor. When the controller determines that the lid is closed (i.e., receives a high voltage level from the sensor), it outputs a start signal to the disinfection module to initiate the disinfection process. However, this existing disinfection control scheme is susceptible to errors when the lid is uncovered, such as signal interference or device malfunction causing the disinfection module to be falsely activated. Examples include: 1. The port of the controller receiving the voltage level signal from the sensor may generate a false high voltage level due to signal interference, leading to the controller falsely outputting a start signal to the disinfection module; 2. The controller may malfunction and falsely output a start signal to the disinfection module; 3. The detection sensor may malfunction and falsely return a high voltage level; etc. If the disinfection module of a disinfection box is accidentally activated when the lid is not closed, it can cause serious leakage of disinfection elements (such as ultraviolet light), endangering the user's safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution to prevent the disinfection module from activating accidentally when the lid is not closed, in order to ensure the safety of using the disinfection box. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide a disinfection box that aims to prevent the disinfection module from being accidentally activated when the lid is not closed, thereby improving the safety of the disinfection box.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the disinfection box proposed in this application includes a box body with a storage slot and a lid for sealing or opening the storage slot. The disinfection box further includes:
[0006] A disinfection module is disposed in the box body and is used to disinfect items in the storage slot. The disinfection module includes a power input terminal for connecting to a power source.
[0007] A control module is located in the housing and is electrically connected to the disinfection module to control the operation of the disinfection module.
[0008] A power supply switch is connected in series between the power supply input terminal of the disinfection module and the power source. The power supply switch includes a first part located on the box body and a second part located on the box lid. The power supply switch is turned on when the box lid is closed and off when the box lid is not closed.
[0009] In some embodiments, the disinfection box further includes an in-situ detection module for detecting whether there are items in the storage slot. The in-situ detection module is electrically connected to the control module. When the in-situ detection module detects that there are items, it outputs an in-situ signal to the control module. When the control module receives the in-situ signal, it starts the disinfection module.
[0010] Alternatively, the disinfection box may further include an in-situ detection module for detecting whether there are items in the storage slot. The in-situ detection module is electrically connected to the control module. When the in-situ detection module detects that there are items, it outputs an in-situ signal to the control module. The control module is electrically connected to the power supply input terminal of the disinfection module and detects the power-on status of the disinfection module. When the control module detects that the disinfection module is powered on and receives the in-situ signal, it starts the disinfection module.
[0011] In some embodiments, the in-situ detection module includes a distance sensor electrically connected to the control module, used to feed back a distance signal representing the distance between itself and the items in the storage slot to the control module; the control module controls the operation of the disinfection module based on the distance signal fed back by the distance sensor.
[0012] In some embodiments, the control module includes an enable output terminal and a PWM output terminal, which are electrically connected to the disinfection module; the control module controls the start-up or shutdown of the disinfection module through the signal of the enable output terminal, and controls the output power of the disinfection module through the PWM signal of the PWM output terminal.

[0016] In some embodiments, the disinfection box further includes a magnetic component and a conductive component, which is a conductive magnet or metal. One of the magnetic component and the conductive component is disposed on the box body, and the other is disposed on the box lid. The magnetic component and the conductive component are positioned correspondingly. When the box lid is closed with the box body, the conductive component and the magnetic component are attracted to each other.
[0017] In some embodiments, the conductive part is a first spring pin disposed on the edge of the storage slot opening, and the conductive element is disposed on the side of the box cover facing the storage slot corresponding to the conductive part. One end of the first spring pin protrudes from the edge surface of the storage slot opening. When the box cover is closed with the box body, the first spring pin elastically abuts against the conductive element.
[0018] Alternatively, the edge of the storage slot is provided with two first insertion holes, and the two conductive parts are respectively disposed in the two first insertion holes, with the conductive parts being lower than the entrance of the first insertion hole. The conductive element is disposed on the side of the box cover facing the storage slot. The conductive element includes a connecting part and two second spring pins connected to the connecting part. The two second spring pins are respectively disposed corresponding to the two first insertion holes. When the box cover is closed with the box body, the two second spring pins are respectively inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole and contact the corresponding conductive part.
[0019] In some embodiments, one of the first portion and the second portion includes a first conductor portion and the other includes a second conductor portion. The first conductor portion is electrically connected to the power supply input terminal, and the second conductor portion is electrically connected to the power supply. The first conductor portion is in contact with the second conductor portion when the lid is closed to the box body, and the first conductor portion is disconnected from the second conductor portion when the lid is not closed to the box body.
[0020] In some embodiments, one of the first conductor portion and the second conductor portion is a conductive magnet, and the other is a conductive magnet or metal. When the lid is closed with the box body, the first conductor portion and the second conductor portion attract each other.
[0021] In some embodiments, the first part and the second part each include a jog switch connected in series at the power input terminal, and the other part includes a pressing part corresponding to the jog switch; the pressing part presses the jog switch when the lid is closed to the body, so that the jog switch is turned on; the pressing part releases the button of the jog switch when the lid is not closed to the body, so that the jog switch is turned off.
[0022] In some embodiments, the disinfection box further includes at least one magnetic suction component, the magnetic suction component including a first magnetic suction part disposed on the box body and a second magnetic suction part disposed on the box lid, the first magnetic suction part and the second magnetic suction part of the same magnetic suction component are correspondingly disposed, and when the box lid is closed to the box body, the first magnetic suction part and the second magnetic suction part are attracted together;
[0023] And / or,
[0024] The edge of the storage slot is provided with a second insertion hole. The jog switch is located inside the box body, facing the second insertion hole. The pressing part is located on the side of the box cover facing the storage slot, corresponding to the second insertion hole. When the box cover is closed with the box body, the pressing part is inserted into the second insertion hole to press the jog switch.
[0025] The technical solution of the disinfection box in this application includes a box body, a box lid, a power supply switch device, and a disinfection module and a control module disposed in the box body. The disinfection module is used to disinfect items in the storage slot. The disinfection module includes a power supply input terminal for connecting to a power source. The control module is electrically connected to the disinfection module and controls the operation of the disinfection module. The power supply switch device is connected in series with the power supply input terminal of the disinfection module. The power supply switch device includes a first part disposed in the box body and a second part disposed in the box lid. The power supply switch device is turned on when the box lid is closed and turned off when the box lid is not closed. The technical solution of this application controls the power supply to the disinfection module by connecting a power switch in series between the power input terminal and the power source. The first and second parts of the power switch are respectively located on the box body and the lid. When the lid and box body are closed, the power switch is activated, allowing power to the disinfection module, which then performs disinfection normally according to the control signal from the control module. When the lid and box body are not closed, the power switch is deactivated, directly cutting off power to the disinfection module. In this case, no control signal will activate the disinfection module, effectively preventing accidental activation of the disinfection process due to signal interference or malfunction when the lid is not closed, thus ensuring the safety of the disinfection box.

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0043] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the term "and / or" throughout the text includes three solutions; taking A and / or B as an example, it includes technical solution A, technical solution B, and a technical solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Furthermore, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of a person skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
[0044] Currently, most beauty device sterilization boxes adopt a buttonless design, automatically controlling the sterilization module's operation by detecting whether the lid is closed. The typical approach is as follows: a sensor detects the lid's state, sending different voltage levels to the controller when the lid is closed (e.g., a high level when closed, a low level when open). The controller then determines the lid's state based on the sensor's feedback. Upon determining the lid is closed (i.e., receiving a high voltage level from the sensor), the controller outputs a start signal to the sterilization module, initiating sterilization. For example, if the sensor is a Hall effect switch, closing the lid triggers the switch, sending a closing signal (e.g., a high voltage level) to the controller. The controller, upon receiving this closing signal, outputs a start signal to the sterilization module. When the lid is open, the Hall effect switch is not triggered, there is no closing signal feedback, and the controller, not receiving the closing signal, does not output a start signal to the sterilization module.
[0045] However, the above-described method for controlling the activation of the disinfection module is susceptible to accidental activation due to signal interference or device malfunction when the lid is not closed. For example: 1. The port receiving the feedback signal from the detection sensor may generate a false high level due to signal interference, causing the controller to mistakenly output a start signal to the disinfection module; 2. The controller may malfunction and mistakenly output a start signal to the disinfection module; 3. A malfunctioning detection sensor may falsely feedback a high level, causing the controller to output a start signal to the disinfection module based on this false feedback; etc. When the disinfection module is mistakenly activated when the lid is not closed, it can cause serious leakage of disinfection elements (such as ultraviolet light), endangering the user's safety.
[0046] The inventors of this application, through analysis and summarization of the various accidental activation scenarios mentioned above, have proposed a novel approach to effectively prevent the disinfection module from malfunctioning when the lid is not closed, thus ensuring user safety when using the disinfection box. The disinfection box proposed in this application is used to disinfect items placed inside, such as beauty devices (e.g., hair removal devices, radiofrequency beauty devices, ultrasonic beauty devices, etc.) placed inside the disinfection box.
[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 9 In this embodiment, the disinfection box includes a box body 10, a lid 20, a disinfection module 30, a control module 40, and a power supply switch 50. The box body 10 is provided with a storage slot 11 for storing items. The lid 20 is used to seal or open the opening of the storage slot 11. When it is necessary to take out or put in items, the lid 20 is opened (i.e., the opening of the storage slot 11 is opened) to take out or put into the storage slot 11.
[0048] In this embodiment, both the disinfection module 30 and the control module 40 are located in the housing 10. The disinfection module 30 is used to disinfect items in the storage slot 11, and the control module 40 is electrically connected to the disinfection module 30 to control its operation. The disinfection module 30 includes a power input terminal Vin for connecting to a power supply 70, and a power switch 50 is connected in series between the power input terminal Vin of the disinfection module 30 and the power supply 70. The power supply 70 can be the disinfection box's own energy module (such as a battery inside the disinfection box) or an external power source.
[0049] The power supply switch device 50 includes a first part 51 disposed on the housing 10 and a second part 52 disposed on the cover 20. The power supply switch device 50 is turned on when the cover 20 is closed to the housing 10 (i.e., the cover 20 seals the opening of the storage groove 11) and turned off when the cover 20 is not closed to the housing 10 (i.e., the cover 20 does not seal the opening of the storage groove 11). That is, when the cover 20 is closed to the housing 10, the interaction between the first part 51 and the second part 52 of the power supply switch device 50 puts the power supply switch device 50 into a conducting state, and the power supply 70 is supplied through the power supply. The input terminal Vin supplies power to the disinfection module 30, which can then perform disinfection normally according to the control signal from the control module 40. However, when the lid 20 and the body 10 are not closed, the first part 51 and the second part 52 of the power supply switch 50 are separated, and the first part 51 and the second part 52 do not interact, thus the power supply switch 50 is in a non-conductive state (i.e., open state). At this time, the power supply to the disinfection module 30 is disconnected, and the disinfection module 30 cannot start due to power failure. Therefore, the disinfection module 30 cannot perform disinfection according to the control signal from the control module 40. In summary, in this embodiment, the disinfection module 30 can only perform disinfection normally when the lid 20 and the body 10 are closed. When the lid 20 and the body 10 are not closed, the power supply to the disinfection module 30 is disconnected, ensuring that the disinfection module 30 cannot start when the lid 20 is not closed.
[0050] The technical solution of the disinfection box in this embodiment uses a power supply switch 50 connected in series between the power supply input terminal Vin of the disinfection module 30 and the power supply 70 to control the power supply to the disinfection module 30. The first part 51 and the second part 52 of the power supply switch 50 are respectively set on the box body 10 and the box cover 20, so that the power supply switch 50 is turned on when the box cover 20 is closed and the box body 10 is closed, allowing the power supply 70 to supply power to the disinfection module 30. At this time, the disinfection module 30 can perform disinfection work normally according to the control signal of the control module 40. When the box cover 20 is not closed and the box body 10 is not closed, the power supply switch 50 is turned off, directly cutting off the power to the disinfection module 30. At this time, no control signal will start the disinfection module 30, effectively avoiding the situation where the disinfection work is accidentally started due to signal interference or abnormal malfunction when the box cover 20 is not closed, effectively ensuring the safety of the disinfection box.
[0051] Reference Figure 2In some embodiments, the disinfection box further includes a presence detection module 60 for detecting whether there are items in the storage slot 11. The presence detection module 60 is electrically connected to the control module 40. When the presence detection module 60 detects an item, it outputs a presence signal to the control module 40. Upon receiving the presence signal, the control module 40 activates the disinfection module 30. The presence detection module 60 may include one or more sensors (e.g., infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, pressure sensors, etc.). For example, when there are items in the storage slot 11, the infrared sensor or ultrasonic sensor detects a distance less than or equal to a preset value, or the pressure sensor detects a squeezing signal; when there are no items in the storage slot 11, the infrared sensor or ultrasonic sensor detects a distance greater than the preset value, or the pressure sensor does not detect a squeezing signal.
[0052] In this embodiment, when the control module 40 receives an presence signal, it indicates that there are items in the storage slot 11. At this time, the control module 40 sends a start signal to the disinfection module 30 to activate the disinfection module 30. If the lid 20 and the body 10 are closed, i.e., the disinfection module 30 is powered on, the disinfection module 30 will start normally according to the start signal from the control module 40 and disinfect the items in the storage slot 11. If the lid 20 and the body 10 are not closed (i.e., the lid 20 does not seal the opening of the storage slot 11), the disinfection module 30 is powered off and will not start working due to the start signal from the control module 40. When the control module 40 does not receive an presence signal, it will not send a start signal to the disinfection module 30. In this case, even if the lid 20 and the body 10 are closed, i.e., the disinfection module 30 is powered on, the disinfection module 30 will not automatically start the disinfection process.
[0053] The technical solution of the disinfection box in this embodiment adds an in-situ detection module 60 to detect whether there are items in the storage slot 11, and feeds back an in-situ signal to the control module 40 when it is determined that there are items in the storage slot 11. The control module 40 then controls the disinfection module 30 to start working only after receiving the in-situ signal. In this way, the energy waste caused by starting the disinfection module 30 when there are no items in the storage slot 11 is avoided, and the disinfection work of the disinfection module 30 is controlled more accurately.
[0054] Reference Figure 4 ,based on Figure 2In this embodiment, the control module 40 is electrically connected to the power input terminal Vin of the disinfection module 30 to detect the power-on or power-off status of the disinfection module 30. When the power input terminal Vin is connected to the power supply 70 (i.e., the power switch is in the on state), the control module 40 can detect an electrical signal (voltage or current) at the power input terminal Vin, thus determining that the disinfection module 30 is powered on. When the power input terminal Vin is disconnected from the power supply 70 (i.e., the power switch is in the off state), the control module 40 can detect no electrical signal at the power input terminal Vin, thus determining that the disinfection module 30 is powered off. When the control module 40 detects that the disinfection module 30 is powered on and receives the presence signal from the presence detection module 60, it starts the disinfection module 30.
[0055] Since the disinfection module 30 does not respond to the control signal of the control module 40 when the disinfection module 30 is powered off, the technical solution of the disinfection box in this embodiment adds the detection of the power-on status of the disinfection module 30 to the control module 40. Only when the disinfection module 30 is powered on will a start signal be sent to the disinfection module 30 based on the presence signal to start the disinfection module 30. When the disinfection module 30 is powered off, no start signal will be sent to the disinfection module 30, thereby reducing the ineffective work of the control module 40 and reducing energy consumption.
[0056] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the presence detection module 60 includes a distance sensor 61 electrically connected to the control module 40. This distance sensor 61 feeds back a distance signal to the control module 40, representing the distance between itself and the items in the storage compartment 11. The control module 40 controls the operation of the disinfection module 30 based on the distance signal fed back by the distance sensor 61. The distance sensor 61 can be, for example, an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. The presence detection module 60 can detect the presence of items in the storage compartment 11 either through the distance sensor 61 or through other sensors within the presence detection module 60.
[0057] Since items of different sizes placed in the storage slot 11 will have different distances from the distance sensor 61, the control module 40 can determine whether the item in the storage slot 11 is a preset item (such as a beauty device) based on the distance signal fed back by the distance sensor 61. If the control module 40 determines that it is a preset item, it controls the disinfection module 30 to start working; otherwise, it controls the disinfection module 30 not to start working. Alternatively, the distance sensor 61 can be placed together with the disinfection module 30. In this way, the control module 40 can determine the distance between the item in the storage slot 11 and the disinfection module 30 based on the distance signal fed back by the distance sensor 61. The control module 40 can then control the output power of the disinfection module 30 based on this distance signal to ensure the disinfection effect. For example, if the control module 40 determines that the distance between the item and the disinfection module 30 is smaller (i.e., closer to the disinfection module 30), it will correspondingly reduce the output power of the disinfection module 30; if the control module 40 determines that the distance between the item and the disinfection module 30 is larger (i.e., farther from the disinfection module 30), it will correspondingly increase the output power of the disinfection module 30.
[0058] The technical solution of the disinfection box in this embodiment adds a distance sensor 61 to detect the distance between it and the items in the storage slot 11. Thus, the control module 40 can more accurately determine the information and status of the items in the storage slot 11 based on the distance information between the items in the storage slot 11 and the distance sensor 61, thereby controlling the operation of the disinfection module 30 more accurately and appropriately, so that the disinfection effect of the disinfection module 30 is better.
[0059] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the control module 40 includes an enable output terminal 41 and a PWM output terminal 42, which are electrically connected to the disinfection module 30. The control module 40 controls the start-up or shutdown of the disinfection module 30 through the signal from the enable output terminal 41, and controls the output power of the disinfection module 30 through the PWM signal from the PWM output terminal 42. For example, the control module 40 can adjust the output power of the disinfection module 30 by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The disinfection module 30 includes a lamp group driving circuit 31 and a disinfection lamp group 32. The lamp group driving circuit 31 is electrically connected to the disinfection lamp group 32 and is also electrically connected to the control module 40 and the power supply input terminal Vin. The disinfection lamp group 32 may include one or more ultraviolet lamps, or it may include LED beads with other colors of disinfection light.
[0060] Reference Figure 13In some embodiments, the disinfection box further includes a battery module 71 serving as a power source 70. The battery module 71 is disposed in the box body 10 and is electrically connected to the control module 40 and to the power input terminal Vin via a power supply switch 50. The battery module 71 can supply power to the control module 40, the disinfection module 30, and the presence detection module 60. The battery module 71 may include a rechargeable battery 712 or a non-rechargeable battery (such as a dry cell battery).
[0061] Reference Figure 14 In some embodiments, the battery module 71 includes a charging chip 711 and a rechargeable battery 712 electrically connected to the charging chip 711. The rechargeable battery 712 is electrically connected to the control module 40 and electrically connected to the power input terminal Vin via a power supply switch 50. The charging chip 711 is electrically connected to the control module 40. The control module 40 can adjust and control the charging current and charging speed of the rechargeable battery 712 based on the battery information and status fed back by the charging chip 711, and display or remind users of the charge status of the rechargeable battery 712. In some embodiments, the disinfection box may also include a temperature detection module 80 electrically connected to the control module 40. The temperature detection module 80 is used to detect the temperature information of the battery module 71 and feed it back to the control module 40. The control module 40 can obtain the temperature status of the battery based on the temperature information fed back by the temperature detection module 80, so as to adjust the charging and discharging strategy of the battery module 71 accordingly, better protect the battery, and improve the battery life.
[0062] In some embodiments, the disinfection box may further include an indicator light module 90 electrically connected to the control module 40. The indicator light module 90 is disposed on the box body 10 or the box cover 20 and is used to display the working status of the disinfection box (e.g., disinfection status, charging status, etc.). The indicator light module 90 may include one or more indicator lights, which may be single-color lights or multi-color lights, displaying the working status of the disinfection box through different colors. The indicator light module 90 may also be electrically connected to the battery module 71 and powered by the battery module 71.
[0063] The following describes several implementation schemes for the power supply switch device 50:
[0064] Option 1: Refer to Figure 6In some embodiments, one of the first part 51 and the second part 52 of the power supply switching device 50 includes two conductive parts 502 spaced apart. One of the conductive parts 502 is electrically connected to the power supply input terminal Vin, and the other conductive part 502 is electrically connected to the power supply 70. The other part of the first part 51 and the second part 52 includes a conductive element 501. When the cover 20 and the body 10 are closed, the conductive element 501 contacts the two conductive parts 502, making the two conductive parts 502 conductive, that is, making the power supply input terminal Vin conductively connected to the power supply 70. When the cover 20 and the body 10 are not closed, the conductive element 501 disengages from the two conductive parts 502, making the two conductive parts 502 disconnect, that is, making the power supply input terminal Vin disconnected from the power supply 70. In the figures of this embodiment, the first part 51 includes two conductive parts 502 spaced apart, and the second part 52 includes a conductive element 501 as an example; of course, in other embodiments, the first part 51 may include a conductive element 501, and the second part 52 may include conductive parts 502 spaced apart.
[0065] In this embodiment, the power supply switch device 50 is composed of a conductive element 501 and two conductive parts 502 to control the power supply to the disinfection module 30. The structure is simple, easy to assemble, and has a low cost, which can reduce the overall cost of the disinfection box.
[0066] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the disinfection box further includes a magnetic component 101 and a conductive component 501, which is a conductive magnet or metal. One of the magnetic component 101 and the conductive component 501 is located on the box body 10, and the other is located on the box lid 20. The magnetic component 101 and the conductive component 501 are positioned correspondingly. When the box lid 20 is closed with the box body 10, the conductive component 501 and the magnetic component 101 are attracted to each other. In the figures of this embodiment, only the case where the magnetic component 101 is located on the box body 10 and the conductive component 501 is located on the box lid 20 is taken as an example. The technical solution of this embodiment, through the attraction between the conductive component 501 and the magnetic component 101, makes the closed state of the box lid 20 and the box body 10 more secure and stable, ensuring that the box lid 20 will not be accidentally opened due to vibration or shaking during the disinfection process, making it safer to use. At the same time, it also ensures the firmness of the contact between the conductive component 501 and the two conductive parts 502, ensuring the stable power supply of the disinfection module 30 when the box lid 20 and the box body 10 are closed.
[0067] Reference Figure 11In some embodiments, the conductive part 502 is a first spring pin 5021 disposed on the edge of the opening of the storage groove 11. The conductive element 501 is disposed on the side of the lid 20 facing the storage groove 11, corresponding to the conductive part 502. One end of the first spring pin 5021 protrudes from the edge surface of the opening of the storage groove 11. When the lid 20 is closed with the box body 10, the first spring pin 5021 elastically abuts against the conductive element 501. The technical solution of this embodiment, by using the first spring pin 5021 for the conductive part 502, makes the contact between the conductive part 502 and the conductive element 501 elastic, thus effectively avoiding poor contact and ensuring good contact between the conductive part 502 and the conductive element 501, thereby ensuring the reliability of the disinfection box.
[0068] Reference Figure 12 In some embodiments, the edge of the slot of the storage groove 11 is provided with two first insertion holes (unlabeled), and two conductive parts 502 are respectively disposed in the two first insertion holes, and the conductive parts 502 are lower than the entrance of the first insertion hole. The conductive element 501 is disposed on the side of the box cover 20 facing the storage groove 11. The conductive element 501 includes a connecting part 5011 and two second spring pins 5012 connected to the connecting part 5011. The two second spring pins 5012 are respectively disposed corresponding to the two first insertion holes. When the box cover 20 is closed with the box body 10, the two second spring pins 5012 are respectively inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole and contact the corresponding conductive part 502 so that the two conductive parts 502 are connected (i.e., the power input terminal Vin is connected to the power supply 70). In the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting the conductive part 502 below the entrance of the first socket, the two conductive parts 502 do not protrude from the edge of the slot of the storage groove 11. In this way, when the lid 20 is in the open state, the two conductive parts 502 will not be mis-connected by contact with other conductive objects, ensuring that the two conductive parts 502 remain disconnected when the lid 20 and the box body 10 are not closed, so as to ensure that the disinfection module 30 is in a power-off state.
[0069] Option 2: In some embodiments, one of the first part 51 and the second part 52 of the power supply switch device 50 includes a first conductor portion, and the other includes a second conductor portion. Specifically, the first conductor portion 502 is provided on the housing 10, and the second conductor portion 502 is provided on the cover 20; or the second conductor portion is provided on the housing 10, and the first conductor portion is provided on the cover 20. The first conductor portion is electrically connected to the power supply input terminal Vin, and the second conductor portion is electrically connected to the power supply 70. When the cover 20 and the housing 10 are closed, the first conductor portion contacts and conducts with the second conductor portion, connecting the power supply input terminal Vin to the power supply 70. When the cover 20 and the housing 10 are not closed, the first conductor portion disengages from the second conductor portion, disconnecting the power supply input terminal Vin from the power supply 70. The first and second conductor portions can be made of any conductive material and can be of any shape.
[0070] In this embodiment, the power supply switch device 50 is composed of two conductor parts (a first conductor part and a second conductor part) to control the power supply to the disinfection module 30. The structure design is simpler, with fewer components, easy assembly, and low cost, thus reducing the overall cost of the disinfection box.
[0071] In some embodiments, one of the first conductor portion and the second conductor portion is a conductive magnet, and the other is a conductive magnet or metal. When the lid 20 is closed with the body 10, the first conductor portion and the second conductor portion attract each other. The magnetic attraction between the first conductor portion and the second conductor portion ensures the firmness of the lid 20 and the body 10, ensuring that the lid 20 will not be accidentally opened due to vibration or shaking during the disinfection process, making it safer to use. It also ensures the stability of the contact and conduction between the first conductor portion and the second conductor portion, ensuring a stable power supply to the disinfection module 30 when the lid 20 and the body 10 are closed.
[0072] Option 3: In some embodiments, the first part 51 and the second part 52 of the power supply switching device 50 include, in one case, a jog switch connected in series with the power input terminal Vin, and in the other case, a pressing part corresponding to the jog switch; that is, the jog switch is located on the housing 10 and the pressing part is located on the housing cover 20, or the jog switch is located on the housing cover 20 and the pressing part is located on the housing 10; wherein, the jog switch is turned on when pressed and turned off when released. When the housing cover 20 and the housing 10 are closed, the pressing part presses the jog switch to turn on, that is, to connect the power input terminal Vin to the power supply 70; when the housing cover 20 and the housing 10 are not closed, the pressing part releases the button of the jog switch, the jog switch is turned off, and the power input terminal Vin is disconnected from the power supply 70. In this embodiment, the power supply switch device 50 is composed of a jog switch and a pressing part to control the power supply to the disinfection module 30. The jog switch can be a commercially available jog switch, and only one pressing part is needed. The structure design is simpler, with fewer components, easier assembly, and lower cost, thus reducing the overall cost of the disinfection box.
[0073] In some embodiments, the disinfection box may further include at least one magnetic component. The magnetic component includes a first magnetic part disposed on the box body 10 and a second magnetic part disposed on the box lid 20. The first magnetic part and the second magnetic part of the same magnetic component are correspondingly disposed. When the box lid 20 is closed with the box body 10, the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are attracted together. Through the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part, the sealing of the box lid 20 with the box body 10 is ensured, ensuring that the box lid 20 will not be accidentally opened due to vibration or shaking during the disinfection process, making it safer to use. It also more reliably maintains the pressing part against the jog switch, ensuring a stable power supply to the disinfection module 30 when the box lid 20 and the box body 10 are closed.
[0074] In some embodiments, the edge of the slot of the storage groove 11 is provided with a second insertion hole. A jog switch is disposed inside the housing 10 facing the second insertion hole. A pressing part is disposed on the side of the lid 20 facing the storage groove 11, corresponding to the second insertion hole. When the lid 20 is closed with the housing 10, the pressing part is inserted into the second insertion hole to press the jog switch, making the jog switch conductive. When the lid 20 is not closed with the housing 10, the pressing part is disengaged from the second insertion hole, and the jog switch is not pressed and is in the off state. By placing the jog switch inside the housing 10 and pressing it by inserting the pressing part into the second insertion hole, the accidental triggering of the jog switch is effectively avoided, ensuring the reliability of the power supply switch device 50.
[0075] Of course, only three schemes of the power supply switching device 50 are listed in this application. In other embodiments, the power supply switching device 50 may also be a scheme using other devices and structures.
