[0045] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other component, or there may be an intervening component present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this applies. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0048] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The embodiments of this utility model will be described below. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model.

[0049] Combination Figures 1 to 5 The disinfection cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, which forms a disinfection chamber 2. The disinfection chamber 2 mainly consists of a top plate 500, a bottom plate 3, a back plate 600, a door 4, a first side plate 5, and a second side plate 6 that surround and connect with each other. Items to be disinfected can be placed in the disinfection chamber 2 to achieve disinfection.

[0050] An embodiment of this utility model provides a hot air circulation assembly, which is installed on the body 1 of a disinfection cabinet. The assembly includes a top cover 100, a rear cover 200, a heating element 300, and a circulating fan 400.

[0051] The top cover 100 is installed on the top plate 500 to form the upwind duct 110.

[0052] The rear cover 200 is placed on the back panel 600 to form the rear air duct 210.

[0053] The top cover 100 and the rear cover 200 are connected at one end, so that the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210 are connected, and hot air can flow in the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210.

[0054] The heating element 300 is located at the connection between the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210, so that the heating element 300 can be hidden inside the air duct. This can prevent the heating element 300 from generating local high temperature and damaging the items to be disinfected, thus improving the user experience.

[0055] The circulating fan 400 sends air to the connection between the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210, with the air direction towards the heating element 300. This causes the air heated by the heating element 300 to be blown into the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210 by the circulating fan 400, forming hot air that flows within the ducts.

[0056] The top plate 500 is provided with a top plate through hole 510 to connect the upper air duct 110 and the disinfection chamber 2. After being blown by the circulating fan 400, hot air can enter the disinfection chamber 2 through the upper air duct 110 and the top plate through hole 510 to disinfect the items to be disinfected at high temperature.

[0057] The back panel 600 is provided with a back panel through hole 610 to connect the rear air duct 210 and the disinfection chamber 2. The hot air after disinfecting the items to be disinfected in the disinfection chamber 2 can enter the rear air duct 210 through the back panel through hole 610. Then, under the action of the circulating fan 400, it can be heated again by the heating element 300 and enter the disinfection chamber 2 through the upper air duct 110 and the top plate through hole 510, forming a hot air circulation disinfection. This makes the temperature rise in the disinfection chamber 2 faster and more uniform, ensuring the disinfection effect.

[0058] It is understood that the hot air circulation assembly provided in the embodiments of this utility model forms an upper air duct 110 by setting a top cover 100 on the top plate 500 and a rear cover 200 on the back plate 600 to form a rear air duct 210, thereby connecting the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210; a heating element 300 is set at the connection between the two air ducts, and a circulating fan 400 blows air onto the heating element 300; the top plate 500 is provided with a top plate through hole 510 connecting to the disinfection chamber 2; and the back plate 600... The back panel has a through hole 610 that connects to the disinfection chamber 2, allowing the hot air generated by the circulating fan 400 and the heating element 300 to circulate in the upper air duct 110, the disinfection chamber 2, and the rear air duct 210. This makes the disinfection cabinet heat up faster and more evenly during disinfection, ensuring the disinfection effect. Moreover, the heating element 300 is located at the connection point of the two air ducts, meaning that the heating element 300 can be hidden inside the air duct, which can prevent local high temperatures from being generated at the heating element 300 and causing damage to the items to be disinfected, thus improving the user experience.

[0059] Combination Figures 4 to 5In some embodiments of this utility model, the back plate 600 is provided with an air outlet 620, and the circulating fan 400 is provided on the back plate 600. The circulating fan 400 can send air to the heating element 300 through the air outlet 620 to form hot air and allow the hot air to circulate through the upper air duct 110, the disinfection chamber 2, the rear air duct 210 and the upper air duct 110. At the same time, the structure of the hot air circulation component is simpler and the cost is saved.

[0060] Furthermore, combined Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the hot air circulation assembly further includes a transition plate 700, which is inclinedly connected to the top plate 500 and the back plate 600 to form a receiving cavity 710 that is connected to both the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210, thereby increasing the space at the connection between the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210.

[0061] The heating element 300 can be placed inside the accommodating cavity 710, so that the heating element 300 can be better hidden, avoiding direct radiant heating of the items to be disinfected in the disinfection cavity 2, thereby further preventing the items to be disinfected from being damaged by local high temperature.

[0062] In addition, in some embodiments of this utility model, the transition plate 700 is provided with a vent 720, so that some hot air can be blown from the vent 720 to the disinfection chamber 2, which can improve the disinfection effect of the items to be disinfected.

[0063] Of course, multiple vents 720 can be provided and evenly distributed at the second end of the transition plate 700. The heating element 300 is located at the first end of the transition plate 700. The vertical height of the second end of the transition plate 700 is greater than that of the first end of the transition plate 700. This allows the newly formed hot air to enter the upper air duct 110 from the second end of the transition plate 700 without blowing directly onto the items to be disinfected in the disinfection chamber 2, thus avoiding damage to the items to be disinfected.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, the transition plate 700 can be formed by recessing one end of the top plate 500, which simplifies the structure and manufacturing process of the transition plate 700, thereby further saving the manufacturing cost of the hot air circulation component.

[0065] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to make the items to be disinfected in the disinfection chamber 2 heat more evenly and thus improve the disinfection effect, in some embodiments of this utility model, multiple through holes 510 are provided on the top plate 500 and evenly distributed on the top plate 500, and multiple through holes 610 are provided on the back plate 600 and evenly distributed on the back plate 600.

[0066] In order to allow more air blown by the circulating fan 400 to enter the connection between the upper air duct 110 and the rear air duct 210, in some embodiments of this utility model, the length direction of the air outlet 620 is parallel to the axial direction of the circulating fan 400.

[0067] Furthermore, the air outlet 620 is arranged in parallel along its length, the circulating fan 400 along its axial direction, and the heating element 300 along its length, which can improve the utilization rate of the air blown out by the circulating fan 400 by the heating element 300.

[0068] Combination Figures 1 to 6 In an embodiment of this utility model, a disinfection cabinet is also provided, which includes the above-mentioned hot air circulation component and disinfection cabinet body 1.

[0069] The hot air circulation component is located in the main body 1 of the disinfection cabinet.

[0070] It is understood that the disinfection cabinet provided in the embodiments of this utility model, since it includes the aforementioned hot air circulation component, inevitably possesses all the advantages of that component. That is, the disinfection cabinet also allows the hot air generated by the circulating fan 400 and the heating element 300 to circulate in the upper air duct 110, the disinfection chamber 2, and the rear air duct 210; this makes the temperature rise faster and more even during disinfection, ensuring the disinfection effect. Furthermore, the heating element 300 is located at the connection point of the two air ducts, meaning the heating element 300 can be hidden within the air duct, preventing localized high temperatures at the heating element 300 from damaging the items to be disinfected, thus improving the user experience.

[0071] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
