Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people have increasingly stringent requirements for container cleaning standards. After washing, containers must be dried before being disinfected. Current procedures require manual cleaning of containers, followed by transfer to drying equipment, and then to disinfection equipment. The entire process requires operator involvement, and each step must wait for the previous step to complete before proceeding to the next. This not only wastes the operator's time but also reduces their work experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a disinfection device.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a washing and disinfection device, which includes a washing area, a drying area, a disinfection area, and a conveying component. The container to be washed is placed on the placement surface of the conveying component. The conveying component is located in a connecting channel and is used to convey the container to be washed. Along the conveying direction of the conveying component, the washing area, the drying area, and the disinfection area are connected sequentially through the connecting channel.

[0006] The cleaning area is equipped with a water purifier, the water outlet of which faces the placement surface and is used to clean the container being cleaned.

[0007] The drying area is used to dry the cleaned containers;

[0008] The disinfection area is equipped with a disinfection component, the irradiation end of which faces the placement surface. The disinfection area is used to disinfect and store the cleaned container.

[0009] In this solution, the cleaning area is equipped with a water purifier with its outlet facing the placement surface. This effectively cleans the containers placed on the conveyor assembly surface, removing stains and residues and ensuring cleanliness. In the drying area, the cleaned containers are dried promptly to quickly remove surface moisture, preventing bacterial growth or affecting subsequent use and ensuring they proceed to the next stage in a dry state. In the disinfection area, the disinfection unit's irradiation end faces the placement surface, providing comprehensive and high-intensity disinfection of the containers, effectively killing any remaining bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms for excellent disinfection results. Using this structure, the conveyor assembly is located within a connecting channel, sequentially connecting the cleaning, drying, and disinfection areas. This automates and streamlines the entire process, allowing containers to pass through each stage without frequent manual handling, significantly improving efficiency, saving manpower and resources, reducing error risks, and enhancing the overall workflow.

[0010] Preferably, the washing and disinfection device further includes a first barrier member disposed between the washing area and the drying area. The first barrier member is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel. The first barrier member is used to control the connection and closure of the washing area and the drying area. The conveying direction is tangent to the rotation direction of the first barrier member and the inner wall of the connecting channel.

[0011] And / or, the washing and disinfection device further includes a second barrier, which is disposed between the drying area and the disinfection area. The second barrier is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel. The second barrier is used to control the connection and closure of the drying area and the disinfection area. The conveying direction is tangent to the rotation direction of the second barrier and the inner wall of the connecting channel.

[0012] In this design, a first barrier is located between the cleaning and drying areas, rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel. This first barrier controls the connection and closure of the cleaning and drying areas. When the first barrier is closed, it effectively prevents moisture from the cleaning area from entering the drying area, avoiding any impact on the drying effect. When the first barrier is open, it ensures that the conveying assembly smoothly transports the containers to be cleaned from the cleaning area to the drying area, guaranteeing the continuity and automation of the entire washing and disinfection process. Furthermore, the conveying direction is tangential to the rotation direction of the barrier and the inner wall, allowing the first barrier to coordinate with the movement trajectory of the conveying assembly during opening and closing, reducing interference between the two and ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0013] And / or, a second barrier is disposed between the drying area and the disinfection area and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel to control the connection and closure of the drying area and the disinfection area. When the second barrier is in the closed state, it can prevent disinfection gas or light in the disinfection area from leaking into the drying area, ensuring that the disinfection effect is not disturbed by the outside world, while avoiding the hot air in the drying area from affecting the environmental stability of the disinfection area, ensuring the normal operation of the disinfection device and the disinfection quality.

[0014] By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the setting of the first and second barrier components not only optimizes the working environment between different areas and prevents interference between different processing links, but also improves the automation level and working efficiency of the entire washing and disinfection device.

[0015] Preferably, the decontamination device further includes a first return member, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the inner wall surface of the first barrier and the communicating channel, and the first return member is used to provide a force for the first barrier to return to its initial position;

[0016] And / or, the decontamination device further includes a second recovery member, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the inner wall of the second barrier and the communicating channel, and the second recovery member is used to provide a force for the second barrier to return to its initial position.

[0017] In this solution, the aforementioned structural form is adopted. The two ends of the first return component are connected to the first barrier component and the inner wall of the connecting channel, respectively. This provides a force for the first barrier component to return to its initial position, ensuring that it stably returns to its initial state after completing the corresponding opening or closing action. This maintains effective isolation between the cleaning and drying areas, making the operation of the first barrier component more stable and reliable. It avoids environmental interference between areas caused by the first barrier component's inability to reset in time, such as preventing moisture from the cleaning area from accidentally entering the drying area and affecting drying efficiency and quality. Simultaneously, this return mechanism also helps reduce unnecessary collisions or friction between the conveying components and the first barrier component during conveying, protecting the integrity of equipment components and extending the equipment's service life.

[0018] The second return component also provides a similar return force to the second barrier component, enabling it to accurately return to its initial position after the control drying area and disinfection area are connected and closed. This ensures that the disinfection environment within the disinfection area is not disturbed by external factors and maintains the stability of the disinfection effect, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the washing and disinfection device during automated operation.

[0019] Preferably, the decontamination device further includes a first sealing element, one end of which is connected to the first barrier element, and the other end of which abuts against the conveying assembly. The material of the first sealing element is an elastic material, wherein the preset elastic deformation of the first sealing element is greater than the actual elastic deformation of the first sealing element during the rotation of the first barrier element.

[0020] And / or, the decontamination device further includes a second seal, one end of which is connected to the second barrier, and the other end of which abuts against the conveying assembly. The material of the second seal is an elastic material, wherein the preset elastic deformation of the second seal is greater than the actual elastic deformation of the second seal during the rotation of the second barrier.

[0021] In this design, one end of the first sealing element is connected to the first barrier element, and the other end abuts against the conveying assembly. Made of an elastic material, it forms a flexible seal between the barrier element and the conveying assembly. This effectively prevents water vapor and liquid from the cleaning area from accidentally seeping into the drying area, avoiding interference with the drying process. It also reduces energy loss, improves drying efficiency, and minimizes the impact of water vapor on subsequent disinfection processes, ensuring the stability of the disinfection effect. The use of elastic material allows the sealing element to adapt to the movement of the conveying assembly and the opening and closing of the barrier element. While ensuring a good seal, it does not hinder the normal operation of the conveying assembly, enhancing the smoothness and stability of the equipment operation.

[0022] One end of the second seal is connected to the second barrier, and the other end abuts against the conveying assembly. Made of elastic material, it effectively blocks air exchange between the drying area and the disinfection area, preventing hot air from the drying area from entering the disinfection area and interfering with the disinfection environment. At the same time, it prevents disinfection gas or light from leaking from the disinfection area to the drying area, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the disinfection process. This not only enhances the independence of the environment between each area but also reduces the interference of external factors on the washing and disinfection process, improves the automation level and operating efficiency of the entire device, reduces equipment maintenance costs and failure risks, extends the service life of the equipment, and makes it more efficient, reliable, and energy-saving in practical applications.

[0023] By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the sealing performance between different areas is improved, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency and reliability of the decontamination device.

[0024] Preferably, the decontamination device further includes a first connector for connecting the first seal and the first barrier.

[0025] The gap between the end of the first connector near the conveying assembly and the first barrier is less than the length of the first seal in a first direction; wherein, the first direction is the direction in which the first connector is connected to the first barrier;

[0026] And / or, the decontamination device further includes a second connector for connecting the second seal and the second barrier;

[0027] The gap between the end of the second connector near the transmission assembly and the second barrier is less than the length of the second seal in the second direction; wherein, the second direction is the direction in which the second connector is connected to the second barrier.

[0028] In this solution, the first connector is used to connect the first seal and the first barrier. The gap between the end of the connector near the conveying component and the first barrier is smaller than the length of the first seal in the first direction, thereby ensuring that the first seal can form a tight seal between the connector and the barrier, effectively preventing water vapor and liquid in the cleaning area from seeping into the drying area through the gap, avoiding interference with the drying process, reducing energy loss, and improving drying efficiency.

[0029] The gap between the end of the second connector near the conveying component and the second barrier is less than the length of the second seal in the second direction, ensuring a tight fit between the second seal and the conveying component. This effectively blocks air exchange between the drying area and the disinfection area, preventing hot air from the drying area from entering the disinfection area and interfering with the disinfection environment. At the same time, it prevents disinfection gas or light from leaking from the disinfection area into the drying area, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the disinfection process.

[0030] By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, not only is the independence of the environment between each area enhanced, but the interference of external factors on the decontamination process is also reduced, thereby improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the decontamination device.

[0031] Preferably, the washing and disinfection device further includes a heating element and a fan. The heating element is used to heat the air, and the fan is connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel near the drying area. The fan is used to blow hot air into the drying area.

[0032] In this design, a heating element heats the air, while a fan is installed on the inner wall of the connecting channel near the drying area, precisely delivering the heated air to the drying zone. The introduction of hot air accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the containers being cleaned, speeding up the drying process and effectively shortening the time the containers spend in the drying zone, thus improving the overall efficiency of the cleaning and disinfection device. Simultaneously, the uniform distribution of hot air in the drying zone ensures that all parts of the containers are thoroughly dried, avoiding localized inadequate drying and improving drying quality, thus providing better conditions for subsequent disinfection steps.

[0033] Preferably, the washing and disinfection device further includes an internal circulation component located within the drying area, which circulates the hot air within the drying area.

[0034] In this solution, the aforementioned structural form, by incorporating an internal circulation component within the drying area, enables effective circulation of hot air within the drying zone, further improving drying efficiency and quality. The introduction of the internal circulation component ensures continuous circulation of hot air within the drying area, guaranteeing even distribution of hot air to the surface of each container to be dried. This accelerates moisture evaporation and dissipation, shortens drying time, and enhances the overall efficiency of the washing and disinfection device.

[0035] Preferably, the washing and disinfection device further includes a gravity detection module and a control module. The gravity detection module is located on the conveying component in the washing area. The control module is electrically connected to the gravity detection module and the switch of the water purifier. When the gravity detection module detects that the gravity is greater than the preset gravity, the control module controls the switch of the water purifier to turn on.

[0036] In this solution, a gravity detection module is installed on the conveyor assembly in the cleaning area, accurately detecting the weight of the container to be cleaned placed on the assembly. When the detected gravity value exceeds a preset value, it indicates that the container is correctly placed and ready. At this point, the control module automatically receives this signal and promptly controls the water purifier to turn on, initiating the cleaning program. This structural design not only reduces the need for manual intervention and lowers the risk of equipment malfunction or inadequate cleaning due to improper human operation, but also improves the consistency and stability of the entire washing and disinfection process.

[0037] Preferably, the decontamination device further includes a spray structure connected to the water outlet, with the spray end of the spray structure facing the placement surface.

[0038] In this solution, as the container being cleaned passes through the cleaning area on the conveyor assembly, the spray structure evenly sprays water onto the surface of the container, providing a comprehensive rinse. This structural design not only effectively removes stains, dust, and residue from the container surface but also ensures uniformity and consistency in the cleaning process, avoiding cleaning dead zones caused by uneven water flow distribution. The spray structure also increases the impact force of the water flow, helping to loosen and remove stubborn stains, thus improving the thoroughness of the cleaning.

[0039] Preferably, the disinfection component includes an ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0040] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0041] The cleaning area is equipped with a water purifier with its outlet facing the placement surface. This effectively cleans the containers placed on the conveyor assembly surface, removing stains and residues and ensuring cleanliness. In the drying area, the cleaned containers are dried promptly to quickly remove surface moisture, preventing bacterial growth or affecting subsequent use and ensuring they proceed to the next stage in a dry state. In the disinfection area, the disinfection unit's irradiation end faces the placement surface, providing comprehensive and high-intensity disinfection of the cleaned containers, effectively killing any remaining bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms for excellent disinfection results. This structural design, with the conveyor assembly located within a connecting channel, sequentially connects the cleaning, drying, and disinfection areas. This automates and streamlines the entire process, allowing containers to pass through each stage without frequent manual handling, significantly improving efficiency, saving manpower and resources, reducing error risks, and enhancing the overall workflow.

[0061] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a washing and disinfection device 100, which includes a washing area 1, a drying area 2, a disinfection area 3, and a conveying component 6. The container to be washed is placed on the placement surface 61 of the conveying component 6, which is located in a connecting channel 7 and is used to convey the container to be washed. Along the conveying direction of the conveying component 6, the washing area 1, the drying area 2, and the disinfection area 3 are connected sequentially through the connecting channel 7. The washing area 1 is equipped with a water purifier 8, the outlet 81 of which faces the placement surface 61, for washing the container to be washed. The drying area 2 is used to dry the container to be washed. The disinfection area 3 is equipped with a disinfection element 9, the irradiation end of which faces the placement surface 61, and the disinfection area 3 is used to disinfect and store the container to be washed. Specifically, cleaning area 1 is equipped with a water purifier 8, with its outlet 81 facing the placement surface 61. This effectively cleans the containers placed on the placement surface 61 of the conveying assembly 6, removing stains and residues from the containers and ensuring their cleanliness. In drying area 2, the cleaned containers are dried promptly to quickly remove moisture from their surfaces, preventing residual moisture from breeding bacteria or affecting subsequent use, and ensuring the containers are dry before proceeding to the next stage. In disinfection area 3, the disinfection unit 9, with its irradiation end facing the placement surface 61, provides comprehensive and high-intensity disinfection of the cleaned containers, effectively killing any remaining bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms, achieving excellent disinfection results. With the above-mentioned structure, the conveying component 6 is located in the connecting channel 7, and sequentially connects the cleaning area 1, the drying area 2 and the disinfection area 3 along its conveying direction. This makes the entire washing and disinfection process automated and continuous. The containers being cleaned can pass through each processing stage in sequence without the need for frequent manual handling and transfer, which greatly improves the washing and disinfection efficiency, saves manpower and material resources, reduces the risk of errors, and enhances the smoothness of the overall workflow.

[0063] It should be specifically noted that the conveying component 6 is a conveyor belt. In other embodiments, the type of conveying component 6 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here. Additionally, the aforementioned connecting channel 7 is a closed or open channel that connects the cleaning area 1, drying area 2, and disinfection area 3. The container being cleaned can be a cup or other similar container; the type of container is not limited here.

[0064] Furthermore, in practical use, the water purifier 8 is an embedded water purifier 8, equipped with two-stage filter elements: activated carbon, PP, and nanofiltration to complete the water purification process. The water purifier 8 has a built-in heating module, and the purified water and hot water it delivers fully meet the water requirements of the cup washing machine, while also satisfying the washing requirements. The process by which the water purifier 8 generates purified water and hot water is the same as that in existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the type of water purifier 8 can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0065] In this embodiment, since the water purifier 8 includes purified water and purified hot water, in order to provide users with purified water at two different temperatures, the water purifier 8 may include two water outlets 81, one for purified water and the other for purified hot water. Therefore, the aforementioned statement that the water outlet 81 faces the placement surface 61 means that both the purified water outlet and the purified hot water outlet face the placement surface 61. In other embodiments, the water outlet 81 of the water purifier 8 and the irradiation end of the disinfection element 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0066] The specific arrangement of the cleaning area 1, drying area 2, and disinfection area 3 can be selected according to actual needs, as long as they are connected along the conveying direction of the conveying component 6. Additionally, the disinfection area 3 includes a container storage location. After the disinfection component 9 disinfects the cleaned container, the container can be placed in the storage location for convenient use by the operator next time. The container storage location is any location that can hold containers in the prior art, specifically a container storage cabinet, etc., which will not be specifically limited or elaborated here.

[0067] In practical use, the disinfection device 100 includes a water intake area 4, which is equipped with a water purifier 8 or has an outlet connected to the water purifier 8 located in the cleaning area 1, so that users can easily collect water after taking a cup from the disinfection area 3. In addition, the disinfection device 100 also includes a water purification display screen 5 to display the real-time operating status of the water purifier 8.

[0068] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the washing and disinfection device 100 also includes a first barrier 10 and a second barrier 11. The first barrier 10 is disposed between the washing area 1 and the drying area 2, and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel 7. The first barrier 10 is used to control the connection and closure of the washing area 1 and the drying area 2. The conveying direction is tangent to the rotation direction of the first barrier 10 and the inner wall of the connecting channel 7. The second barrier 11 is disposed between the drying area 2 and the disinfection area 3, and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel 7. The second barrier 11 is used to control the connection and closure of the drying area 2 and the disinfection area 3. The conveying direction is tangent to the rotation direction of the second barrier 11 and the inner wall of the connecting channel 7. Specifically, the first barrier 10 is located between the washing area 1 and the drying area 2, and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel 7, thereby controlling the connection and closure of the washing area 1 and the drying area 2. When the first barrier 10 is closed, it effectively prevents moisture from the cleaning area 1 from entering the drying area 2, thus avoiding affecting the drying effect. When the first barrier 10 is open, it ensures that the conveying assembly 6 smoothly conveys the cleaned containers from the cleaning area 1 to the drying area 2, ensuring the continuity and automation of the entire washing and disinfection process. Furthermore, the conveying direction is tangent to the rotation direction of the barrier and the inner wall surface, allowing the first barrier 10 to coordinate with the movement trajectory of the conveying assembly 6 during opening or closing, reducing interference between the two and ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment operation. The second barrier 11 is located between the drying area 2 and the disinfection area 3 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the connecting channel 7, used to control the connection and closure of the drying area 2 and the disinfection area 3. When the second barrier 11 is closed, it prevents disinfectant gas or light from leaking from the disinfection area 3 into the drying area 2, ensuring that the disinfection effect is not affected by external factors. It also prevents the hot air from the drying area 2 from affecting the environmental stability of the disinfection area 3, ensuring the normal operation of the disinfection component 9 and the disinfection quality. By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the setting of the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 not only optimizes the working environment between different areas and prevents different processing links from interfering with each other, but also improves the automation level and working efficiency of the entire washing and disinfection device 100.

[0069] It should be specifically noted that, in this embodiment, the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 are plate-shaped, and the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 are hinged to achieve a rotatable connection between the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 and the inner wall surface of the communicating channel 7. In other embodiments, the types of the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11, as well as the form in which the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 are rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the communicating channel 7, can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0070] In practical use, the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 can be rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting channel 7 or to the top wall of the connecting channel 7. To facilitate the rotatable connection of the first barrier 10 and the second barrier 11 to the connecting channel 7, the connecting channel 7 is preferably a closed channel. In other embodiments, the type of the connecting channel 7 can be selected according to actual needs and is not limited here. In addition, in other embodiments, the disinfection device 100 may also include only the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 11, and the setting position and connection method of the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 11 are the same as in this embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0071] The decontamination device 100 also includes a first return member and a second return member. The two ends of the first return member are connected to the inner walls of the first barrier 10 and the connecting channel 7, respectively, and the first return member provides a force to return the first barrier 10 to its initial position. Similarly, the two ends of the second return member are connected to the inner walls of the second barrier 11 and the connecting channel 7, respectively, and the second return member provides a force to return the second barrier 11 to its initial position. With this structure, the two ends of the first return member are connected to the inner walls of the first barrier 10 and the connecting channel 7, providing a force to return the first barrier 10 to its initial position. This ensures that the first barrier 10 can stably return to its initial state after completing the corresponding opening or closing action, thereby maintaining effective isolation between the cleaning area 1 and the drying area 2. This makes the operation of the first barrier 10 more stable and reliable, avoiding environmental interference between areas caused by the first barrier 10's inability to reset in time. For example, it prevents water vapor from the cleaning area 1 from accidentally entering the drying area 2, affecting drying efficiency and quality. Meanwhile, this recovery mechanism also helps reduce unnecessary collisions or friction between the conveying component 6 and the first barrier 10 during the conveying process, protecting the integrity of equipment components and extending the service life of the equipment. The setting of the second recovery component also provides a similar recovery force for the second barrier 11, enabling it to accurately return to its initial position after controlling the connection and closure of the drying zone 2 and the disinfection zone 3, ensuring that the disinfection environment within the disinfection zone 3 is not disturbed by external factors, maintaining the stability of the disinfection effect, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the washing and disinfection device 100 during automated operation.

[0072] It should be specifically noted that when the conveying component 6 conveys the container being cleaned, the container comes into contact with the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 11 and applies a thrust to the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 11. When the thrust is greater than the force applied by the first return component or the second return component to the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 11, the first barrier 10 or the second barrier 11 can rotate around the inner wall of the connecting channel 7 to achieve communication between the two areas separated by the barrier, so as to facilitate the container passing through the barrier.

[0073] In this embodiment, both the first and second recovery components are springs. In other embodiments, the types of the first and second recovery components can be adjusted according to actual needs, and are not limited here. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the decontamination device 100 may also include only the first or second recovery component, and the placement and connection method of the first or second recovery component are the same as in this embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0074] The disinfection device 100 also includes a first seal and a second seal. One end of the first seal is connected to the first barrier 10, and the other end abuts against the conveying assembly 6. The first seal is made of an elastic material, and its preset elastic deformation is greater than the actual elastic deformation of the first barrier 10 during rotation. One end of the second seal is connected to the second barrier 11, and the other end abuts against the conveying assembly 6. The second seal is also made of an elastic material, and its preset elastic deformation is greater than the actual elastic deformation of the second barrier 11 during rotation. Specifically, the first seal, with one end connected to the first barrier 10 and the other end abutting against the conveying assembly 6, is made of an elastic material. This creates a flexible seal between the first barrier 10 and the conveying assembly 6, effectively preventing moisture and liquid from accidentally seeping into the drying area 2 from the cleaning area 1, thus avoiding interference with the drying process. It also reduces energy loss, improves drying efficiency, and minimizes the impact of moisture on subsequent disinfection processes, ensuring the stability of the disinfection effect. The use of elastic material allows the seal to adapt to the movement of the conveying component 6 and the opening and closing of the barrier, ensuring a good seal without hindering the normal operation of the conveying component 6, thus enhancing the smoothness and stability of the equipment operation. One end of the second seal is connected to the second barrier 11, and the other end abuts against the conveying component 6. Made of elastic material, it effectively blocks air exchange between the drying zone 2 and the disinfection zone 3, preventing hot air from the drying zone 2 from entering the disinfection zone 3 and interfering with the disinfection environment. Simultaneously, it prevents disinfection gases or light from leaking from the disinfection zone 3 into the drying zone 2, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the disinfection process. This not only enhances the independence of the environment between each zone but also reduces external interference with the washing and disinfection process, improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the entire device, reducing maintenance costs and failure risks, and extending the equipment's service life, making it more efficient, reliable, and energy-saving in practical applications. The above structural design improves the sealing performance between zones, thereby enhancing the operating effect and reliability of the washing and disinfection device 100.

[0075] Regarding the aforementioned, the preset elastic deformation of the first or second seal is greater than the actual elastic deformation of the first or second barrier 10 or 11 during rotation. Specifically, this can be understood as follows: when the container is not being transported by the conveying assembly 6, or when the container has not yet contacted the first or second barrier 10 or 11, the first or second seal contacts the conveying assembly 6, thus forming a flexible seal between the first or second barrier 10 or 11 and the conveying assembly 6. When the container contacts the first or second barrier 10 or 11, the first or second barrier 10 or 11 rotates around the inner wall of the connecting channel 7. At this time, the pressure between the surface of the conveying assembly 6 and the first or second seal increases, causing the first or second seal to undergo elastic deformation. Because the preset elastic deformation of the first or second seal is greater than the actual elastic deformation, the first or second seal does not obstruct the rotation of the first or second barrier 10 or 11 around the inner wall of the connecting channel 7.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first and second seals are made of silicone. In other embodiments, the types of the first and second seals can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not limited here. In addition, in other embodiments, the decontamination device 100 may include only the first or the second seal, and the setting position and connection method of the first or the second seal are the same as in this embodiment, which will not be described again here.

[0077] The decontamination device 100 also includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector connects the first seal and the first barrier 10. The gap between the end of the first connector near the conveying assembly 6 and the first barrier 10 is smaller than the length of the first seal in a first direction. The first direction is the direction in which the first connector connects to the first barrier 10. The second connector connects the second seal and the second barrier 11. The gap between the end of the second connector near the conveying assembly 6 and the second barrier 11 is smaller than the length of the second seal in a second direction. The second direction is the direction in which the second connector connects to the second barrier 11. Specifically, the first connector connects the first seal and the first barrier 10, and the gap between the end of the first connector near the conveying assembly 6 and the first barrier 10 is smaller than the length of the first seal in the first direction. This ensures that the first seal forms a tight seal between the connector and the barrier, effectively preventing moisture and liquid from the cleaning area 1 from seeping into the drying area 2 through the gap, avoiding interference with the drying process, reducing energy loss, and improving drying efficiency. The gap between the end of the second connector near the conveying assembly 6 and the second barrier 11 is smaller than the length of the second seal in the second direction. This ensures a tight fit between the second seal and the conveying assembly 6, effectively blocking air exchange between the drying zone 2 and the disinfection zone 3. It prevents hot air from the drying zone 2 from entering the disinfection zone 3 and interfering with the disinfection environment, while also preventing disinfection gases or light from leaking from the disinfection zone 3 into the drying zone 2, ensuring the efficiency and safety of the disinfection process. This structural design not only enhances the independence of the environment between each zone but also reduces interference from external factors in the washing and disinfection process, improving the automation level and operating efficiency of the washing and disinfection device 100.

[0078] In practical use, the first or second connector can be a bolt or a magnet, or other components that can connect the first seal to the first barrier 10 or the second seal to the second barrier 11. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the decontamination device 100 may include only the first or second connector, and the location and connection method of the first or second connector are the same as in this embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0079] The disinfection device 100 also includes a heating element and a fan. The heating element heats the air, and the fan is connected to the inner wall of the connecting channel 7 near the drying zone 2, blowing the hot air into the drying zone 2. Specifically, the heating element heats the air, while the fan, installed on the inner wall of the connecting channel 7 near the drying zone 2, accurately blows the heated air into the drying zone 2. The introduction of hot air accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the surface of the container being cleaned, speeds up the drying process, effectively shortens the time the container spends in the drying zone 2, and improves the overall efficiency of the disinfection device 100. Simultaneously, the uniform distribution of hot air in the drying zone 2 ensures that all parts of the container are thoroughly dried, avoiding incomplete drying in certain areas, thus improving drying quality and providing better conditions for subsequent disinfection steps.

[0080] It should be specifically noted that the heating element can be a resistance wire, a PTC ceramic heating element, a resistance heating element, or a tubular heating element. In other embodiments, the heating element can also be other components capable of heating air, and this is not limited here. Additionally, in other embodiments, the heating element and the fan can be directly disposed within the drying zone 2.

[0081] The decontamination device 100 also includes an internal circulation component located within the drying zone 2. This component circulates the hot air within the drying zone 2. By employing this structure and incorporating the internal circulation component within the drying zone 2, effective circulation of hot air within the zone is achieved, further improving drying efficiency and quality. The introduction of the internal circulation component ensures continuous circulation of hot air within the drying zone 2, guaranteeing even distribution of hot air to the surface of each container to be dried. This accelerates moisture evaporation and dissipation, shortens drying time, and enhances the overall efficiency of the decontamination device 100.

[0082] In this embodiment, the internal circulation component is a circulating fan. In other embodiments, the type of internal circulation component can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0083] The disinfection and cleaning device 100 also includes a gravity detection module and a control module. The gravity detection module is located on the conveyor assembly 6 in the cleaning area 1. The control module is electrically connected to both the gravity detection module and the switch of the water purifier 8. When the gravity detection module detects a gravity greater than a preset gravity, the control module controls the switch of the water purifier 8 to turn on. Specifically, the gravity detection module, installed on the conveyor assembly 6 in the cleaning area 1, can accurately detect the weight of the container to be cleaned placed on the conveyor assembly 6. When the detected gravity value exceeds the preset gravity, it indicates that the container to be cleaned has been correctly placed and is ready. At this time, the control module automatically receives this signal and promptly controls the switch of the water purifier 8 to turn on, starting the cleaning program. This structural design not only reduces the need for manual intervention and lowers the risk of equipment failure or inadequate cleaning due to improper human operation, but also improves the continuity and stability of the entire disinfection and cleaning process.

[0084] In addition, the disinfection device 100 also includes a timing module, and the timing module senses each other with the gravity detection module. After the user puts the container in, if it is not used for a long time, the system will directly turn on the cleaning function through the program setting to complete the cleaning function.

[0085] In practical use, the gravity detection module is a component in the prior art that can weigh containers; the control module is a component in the prior art that can achieve control. No specific limitations are made here regarding the gravity detection module and the control module.

[0086] The cleaning and disinfection device 100 also includes a spray structure connected to the water outlet 81, with the spray end of the spray structure facing the placement surface 61. Specifically, when the container to be cleaned is placed on the conveyor assembly 6 and passes through the cleaning area 1, the spray structure can evenly spray water onto the surface of the container, providing a comprehensive rinse. This structure not only effectively removes stains, dust, and residues from the surface of the container but also ensures the uniformity and consistency of the cleaning process, avoiding cleaning dead zones caused by uneven water flow distribution. The use of the spray structure also increases the impact force of the water flow, helping to loosen and peel off stubborn stains, thus improving the thoroughness of the cleaning.

[0087] It should be noted that the spray structure disperses the water flow into fine droplets or mist through the nozzles, spraying it evenly onto the surface of the container being cleaned. This increases the contact area between the water and the container, allowing the water to cover every corner of the container in all directions, thus achieving efficient rinsing of the container.

[0088] In this embodiment, the disinfection component 9 includes an ultraviolet disinfection lamp. In other embodiments, the type of disinfection component 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0089] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
