[0028] When the device is in use, the items that need to be sterilized are placed on the shelf 5 in the sterilization cabinet, the sealing door 2 is closed, and the sealing door 2 is tightly closed through the door lock assembly. Then the sterilization cabinet is started through the side key 6. The sterilization cabinet is preheated first, the temperature in the cabinet gradually rises, and the subsequent steam sterilization is prepared. When the temperature in the cabinet reaches the set value, high-temperature and high-pressure pure steam is automatically injected into the inside of the cabinet body 1. In this process, the pressure sensor 8 continuously monitors the pressure change in the cabinet and feeds back the data to the PLC control panel 7.
