[0002] In today's society, with people's increasing emphasis on tea culture and the art of Yixing teapots, the proper preservation and careful maintenance of precious objects such as teaware and Yixing teapots are particularly important. However, existing technologies have significant limitations in meeting this need. Some users choose to store these objects in sterilizers for convenience. While this allows for easy access, the high humidity inside the sterilizer makes it difficult to ensure the objects remain dry. This humid environment provides a breeding ground for mold growth, posing a potential threat to the quality and lifespan of the objects. Prolonged exposure to moisture can not only cause limescale buildup on the surface but also lead to discoloration due to chemical reactions, undoubtedly reducing the object's aesthetic appeal and value.

[0003] In addition, some users use disinfection cabinets for disinfection and storage, but existing disinfection equipment is bulky and occupies valuable space. Therefore, it needs to be placed at a certain distance from the tea table, which lacks operational flexibility and makes it difficult to meet users' needs for quick and convenient access. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a small appliance maintenance cabinet that can meet the needs of users to take out and use the appliances as needed while ensuring that the appliances are dry.

[0011] Preferably, the heating element is located at the bottom edge of the cabinet, the air inlet of the storage space is located at the bottom edge of the storage space, and the air outlet of the air duct structure is directly opposite the air inlet of the storage space.

[0012] Preferably, the cabinet includes a cabinet frame and a plurality of heat insulation panels distributed around the storage space, wherein the heat insulation panels are respectively embedded in each side of the cabinet frame to enclose the storage space.

[0013] Preferably, the cabinet frame includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and multiple supporting structures. The upper frame and the lower frame are connected by the multiple supporting structures to form the cabinet frame. The lower frame includes a hollow inner shell and an outer shell. The inner shell and the outer shell are connected to form an installation space for installing heating components.

[0014] Preferably, the lower frame is provided with a support frame for supporting the electric heating film, the electric heating film is snapped between the inner side of the support frame and the lower frame, and the heat insulation plate is snapped between the outer side of the support frame and the lower frame; the heating component is installed below the support frame.

[0015] Preferably, the heat insulation board is made of a transparent material.

[0016] Preferably, the cabinet also has multiple perforated shelves for placing utensils.

[0017] Preferably, the inner side of the cabinet is further provided with several layers of support for placing the perforated shelf, and the support includes multiple snap-fit ​​platforms of equal height on the support structure.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention's small appliance maintenance cabinet sets up an electric heating film facing the storage space in the storage space, and sets up a heating component inside the cabinet. The air outlet of the heating component is directed to the storage space.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] See Figures 1-8 This utility model discloses a small appliance maintenance cabinet, comprising:

[0034] A cabinet 1 with storage space 101 has an opening 102 on one side and a cabinet door 103 for opening the storage space 101 at the opening 102.

[0035] A heating mechanism is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The heating mechanism is used to heat the storage space 101. The heating mechanism includes an electric heating film 2 and at least one heating element 3. The electric heating film 2 faces the storage space 101, and the air outlet of the heating element 3 leads to the storage space 101.

[0036] Understandably, a function button 8 for controlling the operation of the heating film 2 can be installed on the cabinet 1. When in use, utensils such as teaware and teapots can be placed into the storage space 101 by opening the cabinet door 103. Then, the function button 8 controls the heating film 2 and the heating element 3 to simultaneously heat the storage space 101. The heat generated by the heating film 2 fills the entire storage space 101, while the hot air generated by the heating element 3 accelerates the air circulation within the storage space 101, thus speeding up the sterilization and drying of the utensils. In this embodiment, since the heating film 2 directly heats the entire storage space 101, and the hot air generated by the heating element 3 not only accelerates the generation of heat within the storage space 101 but also accelerates the circulation of heat within the storage space 101, thereby accelerating the drying and sterilization of the utensils.

[0037] Since this utility model is a small appliance maintenance cabinet, it cannot be too large in order to be placed on a tea table for easy access by users. However, if the size is too small, it will affect the drying and sterilization efficiency of the appliances. Therefore, this utility model uses an electric heating film and a heating element to simultaneously perform sterilization and drying, which not only makes the size small enough to be placed on a tea table for easy access, but also does not affect the sterilization and drying efficiency of the appliances.

[0038] Furthermore, the heating film 2 is a graphene heating film. In this embodiment, by utilizing the high thermal conductivity of the graphene heating film, electrical energy can be quickly converted into heat energy, allowing the storage space 101 to heat up rapidly and shortening the preheating time. Moreover, the graphene heating film can achieve uniform heating, so when the graphene heating film faces the entire storage space 101, it can ensure that all positions in the storage space 101 are heated evenly. Then, the hot air blown out by the heating component 3 accelerates the heat circulation, which can significantly improve the drying and disinfection efficiency.

[0039] Preferably, the area of ​​the heating film 2 is more than two-thirds of the surface area of ​​the cabinet 1 where the heating film 2 is located, so as to ensure the heating efficiency of the heating film 2 on the entire storage space 101 and to ensure that all positions in the storage space 101 are heated evenly.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heating component 3 includes a fan 301, an air duct structure 302, and a heating element 303. The heating element 303 is disposed within the air duct structure 302, and the fan 301 is disposed at the air inlet of the air duct structure 302. The air outlet of the air duct structure 302 is connected to the air inlet 1011 provided in the storage space 101. In this embodiment, after the external air is introduced into the air duct structure 302 by the fan 301, it is heated by the heating element 303 within the air duct structure 302 and then circulated into the storage space 101. Since the heat from the electric heating film 2 cannot immediately fill the entire storage space 101 when it first starts working, the heating element 303 is used to heat the air before it is circulated into the storage space 101, which can accelerate the filling of the entire space with heat. Furthermore, under the continuous heating of the graphene heating film and the continuous circulation of hot air, it can ensure that all positions in the storage space 101 are heated evenly, thereby accelerating the disinfection and drying of the appliance.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the heating element 3 is located at the bottom edge of the cabinet 1, and the air inlets 1011 of the storage space 101 are located on both sides of the bottom edge of the storage space 101. The air outlet of the air duct structure 302 is directly opposite the air inlets 1011 of the storage space 101. In this embodiment, the air inlets 1011 of the storage space 101 are arranged on both sides of the heating film 2, which helps the heat to circulate from bottom to top, and at the same time facilitates the rapid and uniform diffusion of the heat generated by the heating film 2 to the entire storage space 101, thereby improving the disinfection and drying effect.

[0042] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 1 includes a cabinet frame 11 and multiple heat insulation panels 12 distributed around the storage space 101. The heat insulation panels 12 are respectively embedded in each surface of the cabinet frame 11 to enclose the storage space 101. In this embodiment, by embedding heat insulation panels 12 on each surface of the cabinet 1, not only can the user's safety be ensured to avoid being burned by the temperature inside the storage space 101, but heat loss inside the storage space 101 can also be reduced, maintaining a stable high-temperature environment inside the storage space 101. Preferably, the area of ​​the heat insulation panel 12 is also more than two-thirds of the area of ​​the surface of the cabinet 1 on which the heat insulation panel 12 is located, so as to better exert the heat insulation effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, at least one heat insulation panel 12 is made of a transparent material, such as transparent glass, so that users can observe the internal conditions of the storage space 101, realizing the visualization of the workspace and thus increasing the aesthetics of the product.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the heat insulation panels 12 installed on each side of the cabinet frame 11 are all made of transparent material, such as transparent glass, and the graphene heating film or other electric heating film is also made of transparent material. This not only allows users to observe the changes in the storage space 101 from each side of the cabinet 1, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the small appliance maintenance cabinet and increases the artistic appeal of the small appliance maintenance cabinet on the tea table.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet frame 11 includes an upper frame 1101, a lower frame 1102, and multiple support structures 1103. The upper frame 1101 and the lower frame 1102 are connected by multiple support structures 1103 to form the cabinet frame 11. The lower frame 1102 includes a hollow inner shell 11021 and an outer shell 11022. The inner shell 11021 and the outer shell 11022 are connected to form an installation space 11023 for installing the heating component 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, it can be understood that, as Figure 2As shown, both the upper frame 1101 and the lower frame 1102 are hollow structures, which facilitates the installation of heat insulation panels 12 within the hollow structures of the upper frame 1101 and the lower frame 1102, respectively. In this embodiment, the upper frame 1101, the lower frame 1102, and multiple support structures 1103 facilitate the installation of heat insulation panels 12 on various surfaces of the cabinet 1, and also facilitate the installation of heating films.

[0047] Furthermore, the lower frame is configured to include a hollow inner shell 11021 and an outer shell 11022, so that the inner shell 11021 and the outer shell 11022 can form an installation space 11023 for installing the heating element 3. In this embodiment, there are preferably two heating elements 3, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the installation space 11023, so that hot air can be blown in from both sides of the bottom of the storage space 101.

[0048] In addition, the support structure 1103 can be configured as a hollow structure to facilitate wiring within it; the upper frame 1101 and / or the lower frame 1102 can also be configured as hollow structures to facilitate wiring within them, and to facilitate the installation of the circuit board 9, the button board, and the heating film, etc. It is understood that the circuit board 9 can be installed within the upper frame 1101 or the lower frame 1102 to allow the circuit board 9 to control the operation of the heating film based on the pressed state of the function button 8.

[0049] Of course, the small appliance maintenance cabinet can also be controlled remotely (such as by remote control or mobile APP), but this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0050] The lower frame 1102 contains a support frame 4 for supporting the heating film 2. The heating film 2 is snapped between the support frame 4 and the inner side of the lower frame 1102, and the heat insulation plate 12 is snapped between the support frame 4 and the outer side of the lower frame 1102. The heating element 3 is installed below the support frame 4. In this embodiment, by setting a support frame 4 with a certain thickness and installing it between the heating film and the heat insulation plate 12, the heating film is prevented from directly contacting the heat insulation plate 12, which would affect heat conduction and reduce the risk of the heat insulation plate 12 being damaged due to overheating. The heating elements 3 are respectively installed on both sides below the support frame 4.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 4 is a hollow structure so that when the heat insulation board 12 and the electric heating film 2 are both transparent materials, the support structure 1103 does not affect the transparency of the heat insulation board 12 and the electric heating film 2 in the lower frame 1102, and also improves the overall aesthetics of the appliance maintenance cabinet.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 8As shown, the cabinet 1 also has multiple perforated shelves 5 for placing utensils, and the perforated shelves 5 are detachably connected to the storage space 101. The perforated shelves 5 are designed in a perforated form to ensure that hot air can fully contact the teaware, thereby improving the sterilization and drying effect.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the inner side of the cabinet 1 is also provided with several layers of support for placing the perforated shelf 5. The support includes multiple equal-height snap-fit ​​platforms 6 on the support structure 1103. In use, the perforated shelf 5 can be placed on the equal-height snap-fit ​​platforms 6, which is convenient and quick.

[0054] When using a small appliance maintenance cabinet, the perforated shelf 5 can be used in conjunction with it. The retaining platform 6 serves as the supporting structure 1103 for the perforated shelf 5, while utensils such as teaware and purple clay teapots are placed on the perforated shelf 5. Because a certain distance is maintained between the heating film 2 and the perforated shelf 5, this helps with effective heat conduction and air circulation, facilitating rapid drying and sterilization.

[0055] In this embodiment, foot pads 10 can be installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1, which not only provide support but also facilitate airflow from the bottom of the cabinet 1 into the storage space 101.

[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet door 103 can be configured as a heat insulation panel 12, which is hinged to the opening 102 via a hinge. The cabinet door 103 also has a handle 7 for easy opening of the storage space 101 to place utensils such as teaware and purple clay teapots. In this embodiment, configuring the cabinet door 103 as a transparent heat insulation panel 12 not only facilitates observation of the interior of the storage space 101 but also significantly enhances the overall quality and grade of the small utensil maintenance cabinet.

[0057] When using this utility model small appliance maintenance cabinet, after opening the cabinet door 103 using the handle 7, place the tea set, purple clay teapot and other utensils on the hollow shelf 5, and then control the small appliance maintenance cabinet to work through the function button 8 to disinfect and dry the utensils in the storage space 101.

[0058] Users can control the operation of the heating film and / or heating element individually using function button 8 according to actual usage. For example, when there are many appliances stored in storage space 101, the heating film and heating element can be controlled simultaneously using function button 8 to speed up the drying and sterilization process; while when there are medium or small appliances stored in storage space 101, the heating film or heating element can be controlled simultaneously using function button 8 to reduce energy consumption.

[0059] In summary, this utility model of a small appliance maintenance cabinet uses an electric heating film that faces the storage space directly, and a heating component installed inside the cabinet. The air outlet of the heating component leads to the storage space. The electric heating film and the hot air blown out by the heating component work together to disinfect and dry the appliances (such as teaware, purple clay teapots, etc.) in the storage space. Since the electric heating film heats the entire storage space directly, and the hot air blown out by the heating component can accelerate the circulation of heat inside the storage space, thereby accelerating the drying and disinfection of the appliances.

[0060] Because this utility model's small appliance maintenance cabinet is intended for appliance maintenance, its size cannot be too large to ensure easy access for users. However, if the size is too small, it will affect the drying and sterilization efficiency of the appliances. Therefore, this utility model utilizes an electric heating film and heating components for simultaneous sterilization and drying, which not only allows for a small size that can be placed on a tea table for easy access, but also does not affect the sterilization and drying efficiency of the appliances.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
