Description

A fast-steaming baby bottle cleaner Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical technology, specifically to a baby bottle cleaning machine that generates steam quickly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most baby bottle cleaning machines on the market use high-temperature steam sterilization, which involves heating water with a steam generator to produce high-temperature, high-pressure steam, and then using the steam to sterilize the baby bottles.

[0003] However, existing bottle cleaners often fail to achieve the desired sterilization effect when the steam concentration is low due to their large cavity space. Furthermore, the heating plate requires the water in the tank to be heated to a certain temperature before steam can be generated. The large amount of water on the heating plate surface leads to low heating efficiency, long heating time, and slow steam output, making it difficult to meet the high-temperature steam requirements of bottle cleaners. This results in low sterilization efficiency and poor sterilization effect, often necessitating the use of other sterilization methods, which increases product costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a baby bottle cleaning machine that can quickly generate steam, which can shorten the steam generation time and increase the concentration and temperature of steam, thereby shortening the sterilization time and improving the sterilization effect of baby bottles.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a baby bottle cleaning machine that generates steam quickly, including a machine body and a steam generating device. The steam generating device supplies steam to the cavity inside the machine body. The steam generating device includes a water tank, a heating plate and a steam support. The heating plate is located at the bottom of the water tank, and the steam support is installed at the opening of the water tank, and the bottom surface of the steam support does not contact the heating plate.

[0006] The steam support has a concave cavity with an upper opening in the middle, and a side cavity with a lower opening around the concave cavity. The interior of the concave cavity is not connected to the water tank, and the upper end of the side cavity is connected to at least one first steam outlet.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the cavity is provided with an upward-facing hollow protrusion, the lower end of the hollow protrusion is open, and the top of the hollow protrusion is provided with at least one second steam outlet.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, at least one second steam outlet is evenly distributed on the top surface of the hollow protrusion, and the top surface edge of the hollow protrusion is provided with an upward flange.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the lower part of the outer wall of the steam support is provided with an installation limiting part that engages with the opening of the water tank.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the side cavity is connected to at least two first steam outlets facing outward.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the heating plate and the side wall of the water tank are sealed together by a sealing ring.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the steam generator is located outside the cavity; the steam generator is connected to the cavity via a gas pipe to introduce steam into the cavity, and the water tank is connected to a water supply assembly.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the steam generator is located inside the cavity; the bottle cleaner also includes a water tank located on the side of the machine body, and the water tank is connected to the bottom of the cavity via a water pump; a water trough is located on the bottom surface of the cavity.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the baby bottle cleaner further includes a motor, a spiral spray bar, and a bottle rack. The motor is located outside the cavity and is connected to the spiral spray bar for driving. The spiral spray bar and the bottle rack are located inside the cavity, with the bottle rack positioned above the spiral spray bar. The bottom of the cavity is connected to a drain pipe.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the baby bottle washing machine further includes a drying component that supplies hot air to the cavity 20 for drying.

[0016] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model provides a fast-steaming baby bottle cleaner. By incorporating a steam support, the water capacity above the heating plate can be reduced, significantly decreasing the amount of water being heated and correspondingly increasing heating efficiency. This shortens the steam generation time, improves steam production efficiency, and rapidly generates a large amount of steam, thereby quickly increasing the steam temperature and concentration within the cavity. The high-concentration, high-temperature steam can quickly sterilize baby bottles, effectively shortening sterilization time and improving the cleaning and sterilization effect. Since no additional sterilization components are required, product costs can also be saved.

[0018] Meanwhile, the steam support does not come into direct contact with the heating plate, which can prevent the steam support from being melted by the high temperature of the heating plate during operation and ensure structural stability.

Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0029] A fast steam-generating baby bottle cleaning machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to Figures 1-6.

[0030] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-6, a fast steam-generating baby bottle cleaner includes a body 2 and a steam generator 1. The steam generator 1 supplies steam to the cavity 20 inside the body 2. The steam generator 1 includes a water tank 11, a heating plate 12 and a steam support 13. The heating plate 12 is located at the bottom of the water tank 11, and the steam support 13 is installed at the opening of the water tank 11, and the bottom surface of the steam support 13 does not contact the heating plate 12.

[0031] The steam support 13 has a recessed cavity 131 with an upper opening in the middle, and a side cavity 132 with a lower opening around the recessed cavity 131. The interior of the recessed cavity 131 is not connected to the water tank 11, and the upper end of the side cavity 132 is connected to at least one first steam outlet 133.

[0032] The steam support 13 may have a shape that is compatible with the water tank 11, such as a circle, rectangle, polygon or other shape. Correspondingly, the cavity 131 may also be a circle, rectangle or other shape. The side cavity 132 is arranged around the cavity 131 and has an opening at the lower end. When the cavity 131 is a circular cavity, the side cavity 132 may be an annular side cavity. Preferably, the steam support 13 is an integrally formed structure.

[0033] Specifically, when the steam support 13 is installed into the steam generator 1, the water is only located between the bottom surface of the concave cavity 131 and the upper surface of the heating plate 12, as well as in the side cavity 132, thereby maximizing the drainage of water in the middle area above the heating plate 12, significantly reducing the amount of water being heated, and thus improving the steam generation efficiency.

[0034] The above embodiment provides a fast-steaming baby bottle cleaner. By installing a steam bracket 13, the water capacity above the heating plate 12 can be reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of water being heated and a corresponding increase in heating efficiency. This shortens the steam generation time of the steam generator 1, improves steam generation efficiency, and rapidly generates a large amount of steam, thereby quickly increasing the steam temperature and concentration within the cavity 20. The high-concentration, high-temperature steam can quickly sterilize the baby bottles 100, effectively shortening the sterilization time and improving the cleaning and sterilization effect. Since no additional sterilization components are required, product costs can also be saved. At the same time, the steam bracket 13 does not directly contact the heating plate 12, preventing the steam bracket 13 from being melted by the high temperature of the heating plate 12 during operation and ensuring structural stability.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the cavity 131 is provided with an upward-facing hollow protrusion 134, the lower end of the hollow protrusion 134 is open, and the top of the hollow protrusion 134 is provided with at least one second steam outlet 135, which serves to exhaust steam and dissipate heat.

[0036] The hollow protrusions 134 can be one or more; the hollow protrusions 134 can be hollow cylindrical, conical, or other shapes.

[0037] In specific implementation, when the bottom surface of the concave cavity 131 is provided with only one hollow protrusion 134, the hollow protrusion 134 can be provided at the center of the bottom surface of the concave cavity 131, so that steam flows out from the center of the steam support 13 and ensures that the steam output is evenly distributed.

[0038] In this embodiment, at least one second steam outlet 135 is evenly distributed on the top surface of the hollow protrusion 134, and the top edge of the hollow protrusion 134 is provided with an upward flange 136. The flange 136 is arranged around the multiple second steam outlets 135 to facilitate the concentrated upward movement of steam.

[0039] The above embodiment allows the steam support 13 to emit steam simultaneously from all sides and above through the first steam outlet 133 and the second steam outlet 135, enabling the steam to fill the cavity 20 in a shorter time and achieve a higher steam temperature and steam concentration.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lower part of the outer wall of the steam support 13 is provided with an installation limiting part 137 that engages with the opening of the water tank 11.

[0041] The mounting limiting part 137 can be a flange that engages with the opening of the water tank 11. In one embodiment, the opening of the water tank 11 may be symmetrically provided with two inward limiting protrusions. The maximum outer diameter of the mounting limiting part 137 is the same as the inner diameter of the water tank 11. The mounting limiting part 137 includes a snap-fit ​​groove, and two limiting recesses are symmetrically provided on both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove. The steam bracket 13 is placed into the water tank 11 by aligning the limiting recesses with the limiting protrusions on the edge of the water tank 11. Then, the steam bracket 13 is rotated so that the limiting protrusions on the water tank 11 slide into the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby allowing the steam bracket 13 to be detachably installed at the opening of the water tank 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the upper end of the side cavity 132 is connected to at least two first steam outlets 133 facing outward. The at least two first steam outlets 133 may be symmetrically arranged on the top of the steam support 13 and connected to the upper end of the side cavity 132; each first steam outlet 133 may include multiple steam outlets arranged in parallel.

[0043] It should be noted that this embodiment is only one implementation method of this application. In actual implementation, the first steam outlet 133 may also be arranged facing inward or upward, depending on the design requirements.

[0044] In this embodiment, the heating plate 12 and the side wall of the water tank 11 are sealed together by a sealing ring 14 to ensure sealing performance.

[0045] In this embodiment, the steam generator 1 is located outside the cavity 20; the steam generator 1 can be connected to the cavity 20 through the air guide pipe to introduce steam into the cavity 20, and the water tank 11 is connected to a water supply component. In order to avoid mixing water, the water supply component can be used to replenish water to the steam generator 1 separately.

[0046] In practice, when the steam generator 1 is located outside the cavity 20, the steam generator 1 can use a separate water supply and is easy to disassemble and clean.

[0047] In this embodiment, the steam generator 1 is located inside the cavity 20; the baby bottle washing machine also includes a water tank 3, which is located on the side of the machine body 2 and is connected to the bottom of the cavity 20 via a water pump 4; the water tank 11 is located on the bottom surface of the cavity 20.

[0048] Specifically, water from water tank 3 enters cavity 20 via water pump 4. When a certain water volume is reached in cavity 20, heating plate 12 begins to heat the water between steam support 13 and heating plate 12. The generated steam enters cavity 20 through first steam outlet 133 and second steam outlet 135 on steam support 13, achieving steam sterilization. Throughout the process, due to the presence of steam support 13, the amount of water requiring heating is significantly reduced, thus shortening the heating time and increasing steam output efficiency.

[0049] In this embodiment, the baby bottle washing machine also includes a motor 5, a spiral spray bar 6, and a baby bottle rack 7. The motor 5 is located outside the cavity 20 and is drivenly connected to the spiral spray bar 6. The spiral spray bar 6 and the baby bottle rack 7 are located inside the cavity 20, with the baby bottle rack 7 located above the spiral spray bar 6. The bottom of the cavity 20 is connected to a drain pipe 21.

[0050] The spiral spray rod 6 has multiple spray holes on its upper surface, and the inner cavity of the spiral spray rod 6 is also connected to the water tank 2 through the water pump 4. The water pump 4 can have two outlet ends, which are respectively connected to the cavity 20 and the inner cavity of the spiral spray rod 6. In specific implementation, the spiral spray rod 6 rotates and sprays water under the drive of the motor 5 to clean the baby bottles 100 placed on the upper bottle rack 7.

[0051] In this embodiment, the baby bottle washing machine also includes a drying component, which supplies hot air to the cavity 20 for drying.

[0052] The drying assembly includes a fan 8, an air outlet 9, and a heater 10. The body 2 is equipped with an air inlet, and the air inlet, fan 8, and air outlet 9 are connected in sequence. The air outlet 9 is connected to the inside of the cavity 20. The heater 10 can be located on the side of the air outlet 9 to heat the airflow. Specifically, after the bottle washing machine sprays water for cleaning and steam sterilization, it generates hot air through the drying assembly. The hot air enters the cavity 20 to dry the bottle 100.

[0053] In practice, the bottom of the body 2 and the water tank 3 is provided with a lower cover 23, and the water pump 4 and the motor 5 are both located in the space between the outer wall of the cavity 20 and the inner wall of the lower cover 23.

[0054] Other components and operations of the baby bottle cleaning machine according to the embodiments of this utility model are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
