[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all 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.
[0055] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this application provides a disinfection container that can be used as a household appliance to disinfect and sterilize items such as tableware, clothing, baby products, and medical devices in daily life. The main structure of this disinfection container includes a cavity 1, a disinfection component 2, a control component 3, and a human-machine interface component 4. The cavity 1 is the main structure of the disinfection container, forming a disinfection chamber for accommodating items to be disinfected. Items are placed into the inner cavity of the cavity 1 for disinfection. The cavity 1 can be designed with a common and easy-to-use structure, such as a cabinet structure or a barrel structure. The disinfection component 2 is a component installed inside the disinfection chamber or on the cavity 1 to perform disinfection and sterilization operations, such as an ultraviolet lamp or heating module (described later). The disinfection component 2 operates under the control of the control component 3, meaning that the disinfection component 2 is started, stopped, and its operating mode is switched under the control of the control component 3. The control component 3 includes a printed circuit board 301 installed inside the cavity 1 (the space enclosed by the cavity 1 includes the disinfection chamber for disinfection and a mounting chamber for accommodating and installing circuit structures, etc.). The printed circuit board 301 is an integrated component, on which control circuits and electronic devices such as processors are printed. The human-machine interface component 4 is electrically connected to the control component 3. It includes a display screen 401 exposed on the surface of the cavity 1 for the user to view, and multiple function selection keys 402 for the user to select different functions (different functions correspond to different working modes). The display screen 401 and all the function selection keys 402 are electrically and mechanically connected to the printed circuit board 301. The user can send control commands to the sterilization container by touching, pressing, rotating and / or tossing the multiple function selection keys 402. When the display screen 401 and function selection keys 402 are set on the printed circuit board 301, all the function selection keys 402 are arranged around the display screen 401.
[0056] The above-described disinfection container integrates the human-machine interface component 4 onto the control component 3. This means the display screen 401 and all function selection keys 402 are placed on the printed circuit board 301, achieving circuit integration and allowing for a more compact arrangement of electronic components, thus optimizing the overall structural layout of the disinfection container. Furthermore, arranging the multiple function selection keys 402 around the display screen 401 on the printed circuit board 301 not only avoids interference with existing electronic components on the printed circuit board 301, successfully integrating the human-machine interface component 4 onto the printed circuit board 301, but also further improves compactness and integration, resulting in a simpler structure and lower manufacturing costs.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, all function selection keys 402 can be touch-sensitive buttons. Touch-sensitive buttons are aesthetically pleasing, simple to operate, and require little effort, providing a good user experience. Therefore, they are the preferred type of function selection keys 402. In a specific structure, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the printed circuit board 301 is provided with a contact 405 and a transmission component 406 aligned with the contact 405. This transmission component 406 can be, for example, a column or a coil spring. The transmission component 406 extends from the printed circuit board 301 to the surface of the cavity 1. This surface can be the outer surface of the cavity 1's outer shell, meaning one end of the transmission component 406 is exposed on the outer surface of the cavity 1 (the other end contacts the contact 405). This allows the user to identify the location of the transmission component 406 as the function selection key 402. The user triggers the function by touching this end of the transmission component 406, which transmits the touch force to the contact 405. Alternatively, this surface can be the inner surface of the cavity 1's outer shell, meaning one end of the transmission component 406 contacts the outer shell of the cavity 1, and a marking (such as...) is provided on the outer surface of the shell aligned with the contact point. Figure 2As shown, the function selection keys 402 are arranged around the display screen 401, and each function selection key 402 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the display screen 401. In order to make the user more intuitive to distinguish the position of the function selection keys 402, the function selection keys 402 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the identification positions of the display screen 401, and the user can distinguish the position of the function selection keys 402 by touching the identification positions, and the user can pass the touch force to the transmission member 406 through the slight deformation of the shell, and the transmission member 406 can pass the touch force to the contact 405 to realize the function triggering. Of course, the function selection keys 402 can also be other types, such as press keys, knobs, or lever, etc. Further, in order to improve the use convenience and intelligence of the disinfection container, when the user touches the same function selection key 402 (except the key), the user can not only start the working mode, but also select the parameters of the working mode (such as working time, appointment time, etc.), that is, the same function selection key 402 has multiple functions, and the specific operation mode is, for example, when the user touches the function selection key 402 for the first time, the working mode is selected, and when the user touches the function selection key 402 for the second time, the working time of the mode is switched, and after the working time is switched to the required time of the user, the disinfection can be started after waiting for a period of time (for example, 3 seconds).
[0058] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The human-computer interaction assembly 4 also includes state lights 403 arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of function selection keys 402 (here, “close arrangement” means that the distance between the state light 403 and the function selection key 402 is less than the distance between the state light 403 and the display screen 401), and the plurality of dot-shaped state lights 403 are arranged around the display screen 401. In order to make the user more intuitive to distinguish the current working mode of the disinfection container, a plurality of state lights 403 are arranged, and each state light 403 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the function selection key 402. The state light 403 can be dot-shaped and arranged on the printed circuit board 301, and the position is beside the touch position. Since the plurality of function selection keys 402 are arranged around the display screen 401, the plurality of state lights 403 are also arranged around the display screen 401. When the user touches a certain function selection key 402, the state light 403 arranged close to the function selection key 402 is lit, and the light passes through the shell so that the user can see, thereby prompting the user that the disinfection container enters the working mode corresponding to the function selection key 402, so as to improve the user experience. In addition, the state light 403 can also be arranged in other ways, for example, the state light 403 can be arranged on the transmission member 406 or the shell and electrically connected with the printed circuit board 301 through a wire, or the state light 403 can also be arranged on the screen.
[0059] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 3As shown, the central angle a corresponding to the distribution range of the function selection keys 402 and the status lights 403 is less than 180° in the circumferential direction of the display screen 401; and all the function selection keys 402 and all the status lights 403 are located below the display screen 401, and the status lights 403 are located between the display screen 401 and the function selection keys 402. In this way, the function selection keys 402 and the status lights 403 are arranged, which can better improve the compactness and integration of the control assembly 3 and the human-computer interaction assembly 4 on the basis of reducing the number of the disinfection container buttons, has little or no effect on the arrangement of the original electronic devices on the printed circuit board 301, is easy to realize the transformation and mass production of the product, and can also take into account the appearance of the product, and at the same time, when the user touches the function selection keys 402, the user can also watch the content displayed on the display screen 401, and the operation convenience can also be improved. Alternatively, in the case of achieving the same or similar effect, the function selection keys 402 and the status lights 403 can also adopt other arrangement manners, for example, all the function selection keys 402 and all the status lights 403 are arranged above the display screen 401 around the display screen 401, and the function selection keys 402 are located between the display screen 401 and the status lights 403, and the central angle a corresponding to the distribution range can also be greater than 180°.
[0060] In addition, in addition to the mode of setting the status lights 403 to prompt the working mode, other modes can also be used to remind the user of the current working mode of the disinfection container, for example, the mode of sound reminding, that is, by setting a speaker or a buzzer and the like, the user is reminded by emitting different sound colors, different lengths, different tones and / or different melodies, or even voice broadcast.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the display screen 401 is circular, and multiple ambient light groups 404 are arranged near the circumference of the circle. All ambient light groups 404 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the display screen 401. Each ambient light group 404 includes multiple LEDs that emit different colors of light, and all the LEDs in all ambient light groups 404 are arranged in the same direction with the same color sequence. Setting the display screen 401 as circular and arranging ambient light groups 404 that emit different colors of light near the circumference of the display screen 401 not only improves the aesthetics of the disinfection container but also further optimizes the working effect of the disinfection container and enhances the user experience. This is because different components of the disinfection component 2 may work alternately in different working modes, meaning that the same working mode may have multiple states. Therefore, in addition to the status light 403 indicating the working mode, the ambient light groups 404 emit different colors of light in different states to remind the user of the status progress in the current working mode, so that the user can more clearly understand the working process of the disinfection container. To achieve a more prominent and aesthetically pleasing notification effect, all ambient light groups 404 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the display screen 401, making each ambient light group 404 a ring of lights surrounding the display area of the display screen 401 with uniform brightness. Furthermore, based on the maximum number of states existing in multiple operating modes, the number of LEDs in each ambient light group 404 is the same as the number of states, and the LEDs in the same ambient light group 404 emit different colors of light. For example, each ambient light group 404 includes three LEDs, and these three LEDs can emit purple, orange, and green light respectively. In addition, all LEDs are arranged in the same direction in the same color order. Figure 4 The vertical arrangement shown allows LEDs emitting the same color light to form a neat circle, while LEDs emitting different colors form multiple concentric circles. This makes the light rings, such as purple, orange, and green, more aesthetically pleasing, and the color transitions are visually more seamless, resulting in a better overall effect. Furthermore, this arrangement of the 404 ambient light group also allows for a more compact circuit structure and higher integration.
[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the display screen 401 includes a screen body, an ambient light group 404, and a digital tube 407 for displaying numbers and time units (i.e., Figure 4The components of the display screen 401 (A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, H1, H2, and H7) are integrated into a single structure. The screen body, ambient light group 404, and digital tube 407 are fundamental components of the display screen 401, including backlighting and an acrylic protective panel. Both the digital tube 407 and the ambient light group 404 are light-emitting components. The display screen 401 primarily displays parameters for various working modes. For example, the digital tube 407 displays the selectable working duration and time unit (including hours and minutes) before disinfection begins, and displays a countdown timer and time unit during disinfection. The ambient light group 404 displays the disinfection status, allowing users to understand the work progress more intuitively and accurately. To improve the structural compactness and strength of the display screen 401, and to ensure ease of production and good working performance, it is preferable that the screen body, ambient light group 404, and digital tube 407 are an inseparable integrated structure.
[0063] The cavity 1 of the sterilization container includes a housing 101 and a lid 102. The lid 102 opens and closes on the housing 101 to open and close the sterilization cavity, allowing items to be sterilized to enter and exit the sterilization cavity. The aforementioned printed circuit board 301, display screen 401, function selection key 402, and status light 403 can be mounted on the housing 101 or on the lid 102. Figure 1 (The example shown uses a printed circuit board 301, a display screen 401, function selection keys 402, and status lights 403 mounted on a cover 102.) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, an annular first recess 103 is provided on the outer surface of the cover 102, and the display screen 401 is disposed on the inner side of the annular first recess 103. This arrangement allows the display screen 401 to be mounted on the cavity 1 while simultaneously forming a concave shape on the outer surface of the cavity 1, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the sterilization container. Based on this, as... Figure 1 As shown, it is also preferable that the cover 102 is provided with an annular second recess 104. The inner side of the annular second recess 104 forms an observation window communicating with the inside and outside of the cavity 1. In order to ensure the normal operation of the disinfection process, a transparent sealing plate 105 is provided on the inner side of the annular second recess 104. This sealing plate 105 seals the observation window, and the sealing method is, for example, adhesive bonding. In order to provide a larger field of view for the observation window, it is preferable that the observation window is a vertically arranged elongated opening, that is, the second recess 104 is an elongated annular structure, and the sealing plate 105 sealing the observation window is also an elongated plate. Since the display screen 401 is circular, the first recess 103 is set as an annular structure. Alternatively, the second recess 104 and the sealing plate 105 can also be provided on the box 101 to form an observation window on the box 101.
[0064] On the basis of setting the first inner recess 103, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the cavity 1 comprises a decorative ring 5 clamped with the first inner recess 103 and located at the annular inner side of the first inner recess 103, and the display screen 401 is bonded to the annular inner side of the decorative ring 5 and covered by the decorative ring 5. Among them, the decorative ring 5 plays a role in improving the appearance and connecting the display screen 401 and the first inner recess 103, and it can be surface treated by electroplating process to have better appearance, in the specific structure, as shown in Figure 5 , the first inner recess 103 comprises an annular inclined structure 1031 inclinedly recessed relative to the outer surface of the cover 102, and an annular bearing structure 1032 located at the inner side of the annular inclined structure 1031 and parallel to the outer surface of the cover 102, and the annular bearing structure 1032 is provided with a clamping hole 1033, as shown in Figure 6 , the back of the decorative ring 5 is provided with a plurality of clamping hooks 501 protruding in the circumferential direction, when assembling, first, the circumferential edge of the display screen 401 (i.e. the outer part of the part where the ambient light group 404 is located) is glued on the back of the decorative ring 5, specifically, the circumferential edge of the protective panel of the acrylic material on the surface of the display screen 401 is bonded to the back of the decorative ring 5, so as to realize the assembly of the display screen 401 and the decorative ring 5, at this time, the display area of the display screen 401 is exposed to the annular inner side of the decorative ring 5, and the clamping hooks 501 on the decorative ring 5 are located at the radial outer side of the display screen 401, then the clamping hooks 501 are clamped one by one into the clamping hole 1033, so as to realize the radial butt joint of the circumferential edge of the display screen 401 and the inner wall surface of the annular bearing structure 1032, and the covering of the decorative ring 5 to the circumferential edge of the display screen 401 and the annular bearing structure 1032, so as to realize the installation of the display screen 401 on the cover 102, and also improve the appearance of the sterilization container through the decoration of the decorative ring 5.
[0065] In the optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the sterilization and killing assembly 2 comprises an ultraviolet lamp (not shown in the figure), a heating module, an air inlet fan 201 and an air outlet fan 202, wherein: the ultraviolet lamp is arranged in the sterilization cavity and used for sterilizing the articles in the sterilization cavity; the heating module is arranged on the cavity 1 and used for heating the sterilization cavity; the air inlet fan 201 is arranged on the cavity 1 and used for blowing the heat generated by the heating module into the sterilization cavity; and the air outlet fan 202 is arranged on the cavity 1 and used for discharging the air in the sterilization cavity to the outside of the cavity 1. In this structure, the ultraviolet lamp can irradiate the articles in the sterilization cavity to achieve sterilization and killing when emitting ultraviolet rays, the heating module can achieve high-temperature sterilization and drying of the articles by heating the sterilization cavity, so that the sterilization container has the functions of sterilization and drying, the air inlet fan 201 is used for blowing air into the sterilization cavity, and the air outlet fan 202 is used for discharging the air in the sterilization cavity to the outside of the cavity 1, so that the air in the sterilization cavity can be replaced, and the air inlet fan 201 blows the heat generated by the heating module into the sterilization cavity, so that the heat can quickly and fully fill the entire sterilization cavity, the articles swept by the hot air can be more efficiently dried, and the working performance of the sterilization container is further improved. Specifically, the ultraviolet lamp can be multiple and respectively installed on multiple side walls of the sterilization cavity to achieve sufficient irradiation of the entire sterilization cavity, the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 are installed on the rear wall 1011 of the box body 101, which is a wall arranged opposite to the cover 102, and specifically two air vents 1012 are formed on the rear wall 1011 to communicate the inside and outside of the cavity 1, the two air vents 1012 are arranged in an up-down manner, the air inlet fan 201 is installed in the lower air vent 1012, and the air outlet fan 202 is installed in the upper air vent 1012 to achieve air inlet from the lower side and air outlet from the upper side, the structure types of the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 can be the same, but the blowing directions thereof are opposite during installation, that is, the blowing direction of the air inlet fan 201 is toward the sterilization cavity, and the blowing direction of the air outlet fan 202 is away from the sterilization cavity, and the heating module is also arranged on the rear wall 1011 and close to the air inlet fan 201 to enable the heating module to cooperate with the air inlet fan 201 to realize the entry of heat into the sterilization cavity with air. Through such arrangement, the layout of each component of the sterilization container can be more reasonable, and the structure is better optimized, of course, the above components can also be arranged in other manners, for example, the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 can be arranged in an upside-down manner, the air inlet fan 201, the air outlet fan 202 and the heating module can be arranged on the side wall of the box body 101 adjacent to the cover 102, etc.
[0066] Further, on the basis of the above-mentioned setting mode, the heating temperature of the heating module can be changed under the control of a temperature control switch (not shown in the figure), so that the sterilization container can have different drying effects, that is, the sterilization container has multiple drying modes, such as high-temperature drying mode (65℃) and low-temperature drying mode (45℃). In daily life, there are many types of items that need to be sterilized, such as silk products, cotton and hemp clothes, plastic, silicone, glass and ceramic products, and silver ion tableware. These different materials have different tolerances to temperature, ultraviolet irradiation time, drying time, and drying temperature, so the sterilization parameters are different. A single heating temperature cannot meet the diversified sterilization needs. Therefore, by changing the heating temperature of the heating module, different drying modes (the ultraviolet working mode can still be one mode, because in this mode, different ultraviolet irradiation times can be selected, and different materials can be sterilized by selecting different irradiation times) can be used for different items. In this way, the diversified sterilization needs of different items can be met. The sterilization container provided by the present application can be used for targeted sterilization of more types of items, has higher applicability, and has a wider range of use.
[0067] For example, the different drying modes such as high-temperature drying and low-temperature drying differ in the drying temperature of the items. The preferred way to achieve different temperatures is to change the heating temperature of the heating module as described above. In this way, the rotating speed of the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 can remain constant, without the need to adjust the rotating speed. This not only facilitates the selection of fans (that is, the use of fans that cannot be adjusted in speed), but also eliminates the need to add a control program to adjust the rotating speed of the fan, making the technical solution easier to implement. In addition, other ways can also be used to make the drying temperature different, such as keeping the heating temperature of the heating module constant, and changing the rotating speed of the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202. When high-temperature drying is needed, the rotating speed of the air inlet fan 201 can be increased and / or the rotating speed of the air outlet fan 202 can be decreased, so that more heat remains in the sterilization cavity to achieve a higher temperature.

Figure 8As shown, in the optional structure, the heating module comprises: a mounting shell 203 arranged on the cavity 1; an electric heating sheet 204 (i.e. PTC) mounted in a heating mounting cavity of the mounting shell 203; an air inlet air duct (not shown in the figure) communicating the heating mounting cavity with the air vent 1012 of the air inlet fan 201, so that the air inlet fan 201 can blow air to the electric heating sheet 204; and an air outlet 205 opened on the mounting shell 203 and located in the sterilization cavity, so that the air flowing through the electric heating sheet 204 enters the sterilization cavity, preferably a silica gel air outlet. In this structure, the mounting shell 203 is integrally formed with the cavity 1, i.e. the mounting shell 203 is a component part of the cavity 1, which is different from other parts of the cavity 1 in that it surrounds a heating mounting cavity for mounting the electric heating sheet 204, and the electric heating sheet 204 is mounted in the heating mounting cavity and heated by being electrified. In order to enable the heat generated by the electric heating sheet 204 to be brought into the sterilization cavity by the airflow of the air inlet fan 201, an air inlet air duct is arranged on the cavity 1, and the air inlet air duct is also integrally formed with the cavity 1, which can be a through hole opened on the cavity wall of the cavity 1. One end of the air inlet air duct communicates with the air vent 1012 where the air inlet fan 201 is located, and the other end communicates with the heating mounting cavity, so that the airflow driven by the air inlet fan 201 flows through the air inlet air duct to sweep the electric heating sheet 204. In order to enable the airflow carrying heat to enter the sterilization cavity, the air outlet 205 is opened on the mounting shell 203, and the airflow carrying heat flowing through the electric heating sheet 204 enters the sterilization cavity through the air outlet 205. The reason why the air outlet 205 is made of silica gel is that silica gel has stable chemical properties and is non-toxic and odorless, so it will not change its properties due to the high temperature in the sterilization cavity, nor will it pollute the objects after sterilization, thereby ensuring good sterilization effect of the sterilization container.
[0069] In an optional embodiment, the control assembly 3 comprises: the printed circuit board 301 described above, which is electrically connected with the sterilization assembly 2; a temperature sensor (i.e. NTC, not shown in the figure), which is arranged in the sterilization cavity and is electrically connected with the printed circuit board 301, and is used for detecting the real-time temperature in the sterilization cavity; a rotating speed sensor (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected with the printed circuit board 301 and is used for detecting the rotating speed of the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202; an electrically controlled switch (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected with the printed circuit board 301 and is arranged in the power supply circuit of the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202, and is used for controlling the start and stop of the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202. In addition to the display screen 401, the function selection key 402 and the status light 403 described above, the printed circuit board 301 is also provided with basic components required for normal control of the working mode of the sterilization container, such as a processor, a circuit and the like; the temperature sensor is used for detecting the temperature in the sterilization cavity in real time, so that the processor can control whether to stop sterilization or whether to switch different states in the same working mode according to the temperature parameter; the arrangement of the rotating speed sensor and the electrically controlled switch can realize multiple protection, specifically: in the process of working of the sterilization container, the rotating speed sensor continuously detects the rotating speed of the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202, when detecting that the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202 abnormally, such as the rotating speed exceeding the allowed range (overspeed or deceleration), abnormal sound, blockage of the air vent 1012 and the like, the rotating speed sensor sends a fan abnormal signal to the processor, and the processor controls the electrically controlled switch to be turned off after receiving the fan abnormal signal, so that the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 are powered off and stopped rotating, and when the temperature on the surface of the electric heating sheet 204 is too high and the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the sterilization cavity exceeds the allowed range, the electric heating sheet 204 can be powered off to stop heating through the temperature control switch, so as to prevent the heating module from being dry-burned to cause danger in the case that the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 do not rotate. At the same time, by making the rotating speed sensor detect the rotating speed change of the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202 in real time, the processor can judge the dirt and blockage of the filter screen arranged at the air vent 1012 (when the dirt of the filter screen is serious or blocked, the rotating speed of the fan will be reduced), and thus the sterilization container can have a cleaning reminder function to remind the user to clean the filter screen regularly.
[0070] Further, in order to more accurately detect the temperature in the sterilization cavity, the temperature sensor arranged in the sterilization cavity can be arranged between the electric heating sheet 204 and the air vent 1012 where the air outlet fan 202 is installed; in addition, in order to better detect the rotating speed of the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202 and whether the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202 are locked, a three-wire fan can be selected as the air inlet fan 201 and / or the air outlet fan 202.
[0071] Optionally, the control assembly 3 can further include a communication module, an operation module (the operation module can be the processor described above) and a storage module, wherein the communication module can communicate with the mobile terminal through wireless technology, thereby realizing remote control of the sterilization container by the mobile terminal, and the operation module and the storage module can satisfy the recording of user-defined parameters.
[0072] Based on the above structure, the plurality of function selection keys 402 on the sterilization container provided by the application can include an on-off key, an ultraviolet sterilization key for turning on and off the ultraviolet lamp, a plurality of drying keys for heating the heating module to different temperatures respectively, and a storage key for sequentially and timely turning on and off the ultraviolet lamp and the heating module. The on-off key is used to control the on-off of the power supply. When the ultraviolet sterilization key is touched by the user, the contact 405 on the printed circuit board 301 is triggered, and the processor arranged on the printed circuit board 301 controls the corresponding status lamp 403 to light up according to the trigger signal, controls the ultraviolet lamp to light up after confirming the working time, and controls the ultraviolet lamp to turn off after reaching the working time. Figure 2 The drying keys include a high-temperature rapid drying key (i.e. the high-temperature rapid drying shown in Figure 2 The drying keys include a high-temperature rapid drying key (i.e. the high-temperature rapid drying shown in Figure 2 When the storage key (i.e. the intelligent storage shown in
[0073] The ultraviolet sterilization mode: the working time is optional, mainly including the state of the ultraviolet lamp lighting up, and the state ends after the power is turned off;
[0074] The intelligent storage mode: the working time is optional, mainly including the state of the ultraviolet lamp lighting up and the state of the heating module heating at low temperature, the air inlet fan 201 inhaling air and the air outlet fan 202 exhausting air, after the two states end, the storage state is entered, and the storage state is continuously maintained until the user turns off the power, in the storage state, the ultraviolet lamp is turned on at a certain time to sterilize and disinfect;
[0075] Low temperature drying mode: the working time is optional, mainly including the state of the ultraviolet lamp being on and the state of the heating module being low temperature heating and the air inlet fan 201 being air inlet and the air outlet fan 202 being air outlet, and the machine is turned off after the two states end.
[0076] High temperature drying mode: the working time is optional, mainly including the state of the ultraviolet lamp being on and the state of the heating module being high temperature heating and the air inlet fan 201 being air inlet and the air outlet fan 202 being air outlet, and the machine is turned off after the two states end.
[0077] By making the disinfection container have the above-mentioned multiple working modes, the disinfection container is more functional and can meet the diversified disinfection and sterilization needs of different objects, and the user experience is better.
[0078] In the above-mentioned multiple working modes, the atmosphere lamp group 404 corresponds to the three states of the ultraviolet lamp being on, the heating module being high or low temperature heating and the air inlet fan 201 being air inlet and the air outlet fan 202 being air outlet, and emits different colored light respectively, so as to send the progress of the work to the user through the eye-catching light of different colors, so that the user can intuitively understand the working state of the disinfection container. Specifically, when the ultraviolet lamp is on and the ultraviolet disinfection is performed, the atmosphere lamp group 404 emits purple light; when the heating module is high or low temperature heating and the air inlet fan 201 is air inlet and the air outlet fan 202 is air outlet and the drying is performed, the atmosphere lamp group 404 emits orange light; when the storage is performed, the atmosphere lamp group 404 emits green light.
[0079] Based on the above-mentioned disinfection container, the application also provides a control method, which is suitable for the above-mentioned disinfection container, and the control method comprises the following steps:
[0080] S101, after one of the function selection keys 402 of the human-computer interaction assembly 4 receives the starting instruction, the first starting signal is sent to the processor of the control assembly 3, specifically, after one of the contacts 405 is triggered, the processor on the printed circuit board 301 will receive the starting signal corresponding to the contact 405;
[0081] S102, the processor receiving the first start signal determines the first working duration, and starts the working part of the disinfection component 2 corresponding to the first start signal, so that the disinfection container enters the first working mode. For example, when the processor receives the first start signal as the ultraviolet disinfection signal, the processor controls the display to display the first working duration. If the user needs to switch the working duration, the same function selection key 402 is touched again. After the processor receives the signal that the same touch point 405 is triggered for the second time, the display is controlled to display the second working duration. This operation can be repeated multiple times to make the display display different working durations for the user to select multiple times. When a working duration is displayed for a period of time (for example, 2 seconds), the same touch point 405 is not triggered again, that is, the processor does not receive the trigger signal again. The processor determines that the working duration is confirmed, and then the ultraviolet lamp is turned on and the disinfection container enters the ultraviolet disinfection mode.
[0082] S103, after the first working mode is performed or completed, if another function selection key 402 of the human-computer interaction component 4 receives a start instruction, a second start signal is sent to the processor of the control component 3. Specifically, this operation is a working mode switching operation. For example, after the ultraviolet disinfection mode is performed or completed, the user touches the storage key again, and the disinfection container enters the intelligent storage mode.
[0083] S104, the processor receiving the second start signal controls the disinfection container to end the first working mode, determines the second working duration, and starts the working part of the disinfection component 2 corresponding to the second start signal to enter the second working mode. This step is the specific process of entering the intelligent storage mode. The operation logic is the same as that of the above step S102, that is, the working duration is first confirmed, and then the ultraviolet lamp, the heating module, the air inlet fan 201 and the air outlet fan 202 required to work in the intelligent storage mode are sequentially and timely worked.
