Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of sterilization cup technology and relates to an ultraviolet sterilization cup. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional mouthwash cups and sterilization devices are usually designed separately, with limited functionality and a large footprint. For example, a regular mouthwash cup is only used to hold water for brushing teeth, while sterilizing toothbrushes and other dental tools requires additional sterilization equipment (such as UV sterilization boxes or steam sterilizers). This separate design forces users to frequently switch between usage scenarios, especially in space-constrained environments like bathrooms, resulting in inconvenient storage and cumbersome operation.

[0003] In recent years, some mouthwash cups with integrated disinfection functions have appeared on the market. Their typical structure is to add an ultraviolet lamp or ozone generator inside the cup or at the bottom. The disinfection program is activated after the cup lid is closed. However, when disinfecting electric toothbrushes, there is a problem of air circulation between the inside and outside of the opening where the toothbrush is placed. In addition, the cup body and the cup lid are separate, which can easily lead to the loss of one of them.
