The magnetic suction blocks are adapted to the magnetic suction holes.

[0026] With the above structure: In use, remove the lid 2, and the storage component extends out from the box 1. Then, place the tableware to be stored on the storage component in sequence. After the tableware is stored, the storage component retracts back into the box 1, and the lid 2 is closed. Then, the connecting pipe 6, under the action of the air pump 7, extracts the air from inside the box 1. The air is continuously heated by the electric heating plate 4 in the sterilization box 3. The heated air is then reintroduced into the box 1. The continuous circulation of hot air increases the temperature of the air inside the box 1. The high-temperature air evaporates the residual water stains on the tableware while simultaneously sterilizing the tableware at high temperature. The drying mesh box 5 in the sterilization box 3 absorbs the moisture during the air circulation process, thus drying the air. Compared with traditional tableware storage devices, the continuous circulation of high-temperature air dries the tableware, preventing excessive moisture inside the storage device from causing mold. At the same time, the high-temperature air sterilizes the tableware at high temperature, making the tableware safer to use.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, a humidity sensor 9 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the chamber 1 near the disinfection chamber 3, and a display 10 is installed on the outer wall of the chamber 1. The humidity sensor 9 is connected to a PLC controller via wires, and the PLC controller is connected to the display 10 via wires. As the high-temperature air continues to circulate, the residual moisture on the tableware is continuously evaporated. The humidity sensor 9 monitors the humidity inside the chamber 1, and the display 10 displays the monitoring data of the humidity sensor 9. When the monitoring data of the humidity sensor 9 reaches a certain level, the disinfection and drying can be stopped.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 1 near the disinfection box 3. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 is located below the humidity sensor 9. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 is compatible with the storage component. When storing tableware, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 sterilizes and disinfects the tableware stored on the storage component, making the tableware safer to use.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the storage assembly includes a placement slot 11 that is slidably installed on the inner wall of the box 1. A connecting shaft 16 is welded to one end of the top outer wall of the placement slot 11. A plate slot 12, a bowl slot 13, and a chopstick slot 14 are rotatably installed on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 16. The plate slot 12, bowl slot 13, and chopstick slot 14 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The plate slot 12, bowl slot 13, and chopstick slot 14 are all rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 16. The outer wall of the connecting shaft 16 is provided with equally spaced limiting rings. The diameter of the limiting rings is larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft 16. The inner walls of the plate slot 12, bowl slot 13, and chopstick slot 14 are all provided with limiting grooves that are adapted to the limiting rings. A collection slot 15 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the bottom of the box 1. The inner wall of the collection slot 15 is filled with absorbent cotton. The bottom of the outer wall of the box 1... The storage unit has slots that fit the collection tank 15. The placement slot 11 in the storage component is convenient for storing large tableware, the plate slot 12 is convenient for placing dishes, the bowl slot 13 stores rice bowls, and the chopstick slot 14 stores chopsticks, forks, spoons, etc. Compared with traditional storage devices, tableware can be placed in categories, and tableware is not mixed with each other, making it easy to take out tableware and preventing cross-contamination. At the same time, since the plate slot 12, bowl slot 13, and chopstick slot 14 are all rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 16, the corresponding parts can be rotated when taking out tableware, and the tableware can be taken out without interference. The absorbent cotton in the collection tank 15 absorbs water stains dripping from the tableware, preventing water stains from dripping onto the bottom of the box 1 and causing contamination of the box 1.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, a lifting groove 17 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the box body 1. A threaded rod 18 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the lifting groove 17. The threaded rod 18 is adapted to the lifting groove 17. A connecting block is welded to the outer wall of the placement groove 11 near the lifting groove 17. The connecting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove 17. The connecting block and the threaded rod 18 are rotatably connected by threads. A drive groove is provided on the inner wall of the bottom of the box body 1. A servo motor 19 is installed inside the drive groove. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 is connected to the threaded rod 18. When the storage component is working, the servo motor 19 drives the threaded rod 18 to rotate, causing the storage component to slide up and down along the inner wall of the box body 1, which facilitates the lifting and lowering of the storage component and makes it convenient to store tableware.

[0031] The working principle of this practical application is as follows:

[0032] In use, remove the lid 2, and the storage component extends from the body 1. Then, place the tableware to be stored onto the storage component. After storage, the storage component retracts back into the body 1, and the lid 2 is closed. The connecting pipe 6, driven by the air pump 7, extracts air from the body 1. The air is then continuously heated by the electric heating plate 4 in the sterilization chamber 3. The heated air is then reintroduced into the body 1, and the continuous circulation of hot air raises the internal temperature. The high-temperature air evaporates residual water on the tableware while simultaneously sterilizing it. The drying mesh box 5 in the sterilization chamber 3 absorbs moisture from the circulating air, achieving sterilization. Compared to traditional tableware storage devices, the air drying method uses high-temperature air to continuously circulate and dry the tableware, preventing excessive moisture inside the storage device from causing mold. At the same time, the high-temperature air disinfects the tableware, making it safer to use. As the high-temperature air continues to circulate, the residual moisture on the tableware is continuously evaporated. The humidity sensor 9 monitors the humidity inside the cabinet 1, and the display 10 displays the monitoring data of the humidity sensor 9. When the humidity sensor 9 detects a certain level, the disinfection and drying can be stopped. When the tableware is stored, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 disinfects the tableware stored on the storage component, making the tableware safer to use.

[0033] The storage component includes a placement slot 11 for storing large tableware, a plate slot 12 for placing dishes, a bowl slot 13 for storing rice bowls, and a chopstick slot 14 for storing chopsticks, forks, spoons, etc. Compared to traditional storage devices, this design allows for the categorization of tableware, preventing them from getting mixed up and making them easy to retrieve. Furthermore, since the plate slot 12, bowl slot 13, and chopstick slot 14 are all rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 16, the corresponding parts can be rotated when retrieving tableware without interference. The absorbent cotton in the collection slot 15 absorbs water droplets from the tableware, preventing them from dripping onto the bottom of the housing 1 and causing contamination. When the storage component is in operation, the servo motor 19 drives the threaded rod 18 to rotate, causing the storage component to slide up and down along the inner wall of the housing 1, facilitating the lifting and lowering of the component and making it convenient for storing tableware.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
