Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances, specifically to a dual-chamber drying and sterilization device. Background Technology

[0002] Drying and sterilizing equipment is commonly used in daily life for drying and sterilizing food and beverage items. Currently, the drying times of most sterilizing and drying equipment on the market are quite long, which cannot meet the needs of today's fast-paced lifestyle. For example, taking baby products as an example, a set or two of bottles and nipples are small in size and need to be dried quickly after washing for storage or future use. Placing them in a typical large-volume sterilizing and drying machine results in slow heating and long waiting times. If a small-sized sterilizing and drying machine were specifically designed, its application range would be limited, and its usage frequency would be low.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model discloses a dual-chamber drying and sterilization device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A dual-chamber drying and disinfection device includes a first chamber and a second chamber located within a housing; a rear cover is also installed on the housing; the second chamber is independent of the first chamber and each has an independent door structure; the drying and disinfection device further includes a first fan system for providing drying air to the first chamber, a second fan system for providing drying air to the second chamber, and an air duct system; the air duct system includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and a cavity disposed on the rear cover; the cavity is surrounded by the housing, the rear cover, the first chamber, and the second chamber; the cavity is connected to the first fan system and the second fan system respectively.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the long sidewall of the second cavity is fitted with the short sidewall of the first cavity, and the volume of the second cavity is smaller than the volume of the first cavity.

[0008] A further technical solution is that a front door is installed on the front side of the first cavity; the second cavity is located on the side of the first cavity, and a top cover is installed on the top of the second cavity.

[0009] A further technical solution is that the first fan system is installed on the rear plate of the first cavity; the second fan system is installed on the bottom plate of the second cavity.

[0010] A further technical solution is that a first air inlet is provided on the rear panel near the upper part, and a first air outlet is provided on the rear panel near the lower part; the first air inlet is connected to the cavity through a first fan system; the first air outlet is connected to the cavity.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a second air inlet is provided on the base plate, and a second air outlet is provided on the side wall of the second cavity; the second air inlet is connected to the cavity through a second fan system; and the second air outlet is connected to the cavity.

[0012] A further technical solution is to install a filter assembly at the air inlet.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the first fan system includes a first air duct support fixed to the rear plate of the first cavity; a first fan fixed to the first air duct support; the first air duct support connected to the first air inlet of the first cavity; and a first heating element and a first temperature controller fixed on the first air duct support.

[0015] A further technical solution is to install an ultraviolet lamp assembly in the first cavity and / or the second cavity.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:

[0017] This embodiment of the invention features a compact structure with two independent drying chambers, each with its own independent fan system. These chambers can be used independently or together, and the product's structure is both compact and rational. This provides users with more options and improves product utilization.

[0018] When the second chamber is used alone, the smaller drying space heats up faster, and the temperature within the chamber is more evenly distributed, making it more suitable for quickly drying only one or two small items. It is especially suitable for the rapid drying of baby bottles and nipples.

[0019] By placing the first fan system, which provides drying air to the first chamber, and the second fan system, which provides drying air to the second chamber, in different locations, the size and layout of the first and second chambers can be further optimized. In particular, for the second chamber, the second fan system located at the bottom can provide a better air inlet angle, allowing all the items to be dried to quickly come into contact with the hot air coming in from the second air inlet, thereby improving drying efficiency and increasing the drying speed of the items in the second chamber.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the device proposed by this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer according to the following description. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, only used to conveniently and clearly assist in illustrating the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model. Please refer to the accompanying drawings to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification, for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives that this utility model can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of another embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the front door and top cover opened according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a dual-chamber drying and sterilization device, including a housing 5 and a rear cover 6 mounted on the housing 5. A first chamber 1 and a second chamber 2 are disposed within the housing 5. The housing 5 is generally rectangular in shape, and the first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2 are integrated within the housing 5. The second chamber 2 is independent of the first chamber 1 and each has its own independent door structure, allowing for independent opening and use. In this embodiment, a front door 101 is installed on the front side of the first chamber 1. The second chamber 2 is located to the side of the first chamber 1, and a top cover 201 is installed on the top of the second chamber 2.

[0032] This utility model embodiment features a compact structure with two independent drying chambers, each with its own independent fan system, allowing for individual or combined use.

[0033] Furthermore, the second cavity 2 is positioned adjacent to the first cavity 1, with the long sidewall of the second cavity 2 fitting against the short sidewall of the first cavity 1. The volume of the second cavity 2 is smaller than that of the first cavity 1. This arrangement, with the integrated shape of the second cavity 2 and the first cavity 1 approximating a cuboid structure, makes the product structure more compact and rational. When the second cavity 2 is used alone, the smaller drying space heats up faster, and the cavity temperature is more easily made uniform, making it more suitable for quickly drying only one or two small items.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sterilization and drying equipment is mainly used for drying baby bottles and accessories. Therefore, the volume of the first chamber 1 is preferably set to be in the range of 18-30L, with a normal drying time of about 20-60 minutes. Correspondingly, the volume of the second chamber 2 is set to be in the range of 5-6L. Due to its small size, the second chamber 2 has the characteristic of rapid drying, with a normal drying time of about 5-20 minutes. This volume range is suitable for drying baby bottles and accessories. In particular, the capacity of the second chamber 2 is just right to hold two sets of bottles and nipples, making it more suitable for rapid heating and drying. It also saves energy when drying a small number of items, which can improve the overall utilization rate of the product, and the product structure is more compact and reasonable. Of course, the structure of this embodiment can also be used to dry other items, and the appropriate capacity of the first chamber 1 and the second chamber 2 can be designed according to needs.

[0035] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Front view after removing the dried material. Figure 4 The interior of the first cavity 1 is visible. A first air inlet 103 is provided on the rear plate 102 near the lower part, and a first air outlet 104 is provided on the rear plate 102 near the upper part. In this embodiment, there are two first air outlets 104, arranged at the left and right ends of the upper part of the rear plate 102.

[0036] Furthermore, first support rib assemblies 105 are also provided on the two side plates of the first cavity 1 to support the shelves inside the first cavity 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first support rib assemblies 105 are provided in two pairs, upper and lower, to accommodate upper and lower shelves. Figure 3 You can dry the nipples on the upper shelf and the bottles on the lower shelf.

[0037] Furthermore, a first ultraviolet lamp assembly 106 is also installed inside the first cavity 1 for ultraviolet disinfection of the items inside the first cavity 1 during the drying process. In this embodiment, two sets of first ultraviolet lamp assemblies 106 are installed inside the first cavity 1, and are respectively fixed to the bottom and top of the first cavity 1.

[0038] Figure 5 for Figure 3 Top view after removing the dried material. Figure 5The interior of the second cavity 2 can be seen. A second air inlet 203 is provided on the base plate 202. Figure 3 A second air outlet 204 is provided on the side plate of the second cavity 2.

[0039] Furthermore, a second support rib group 205 is provided on the two side plates of the second cavity 2 to support the shelves inside the second cavity 2.

[0040] Furthermore, a second ultraviolet lamp assembly 206 is also installed inside the second cavity 2 for ultraviolet disinfection of the items inside the second cavity 2 during the drying process. In this embodiment, the second ultraviolet lamp assembly 206 is installed at the bottom of the second cavity 2.

[0041] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the cavity in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 6 As shown, the drying and disinfection equipment also includes a first fan system 3 that provides drying air to the first chamber 1 and a second fan system 4 that provides drying air to the second chamber 2. The first fan system 3 and the second fan system 4 can operate independently. The power board 7 is fixed on the rear plate 102 and is connected to the power cord 8 to supply power for the operation of the entire equipment.

[0042] Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of the first cavity in an embodiment of the present invention. (In conjunction with...) Figure 6 and Figure 7 Specifically, the first fan system 3 includes a first air duct support 302 fixed to the rear plate 102 of the first cavity 1. A first fan 301 is fixed to the first air duct support 302. The first air duct support 302 is connected to the first air inlet 103 of the first cavity 1, allowing it to blow drying air into the first cavity 1. A first heating element 303 and a first temperature controller 304 are also fixed to the first air duct support 302.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, a filter assembly 604 is also installed at the air inlet 601. The drawn-in air first passes through the filter assembly 604 and then enters the cavity 603 through the air inlet 601.

[0044] Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the second cavity in an embodiment of the present invention. (In conjunction with...) Figure 6 and Figure 8 The second fan system 4 includes a second air duct support 402 mounted on the base plate 202 of the second cavity 2. The second air duct support 402 is connected to the second air inlet 203 of the second cavity 2. An air duct cover 403 connected to the second air duct support 402 is fixed to the second air duct support 402. The second fan 401 is fixed to the air duct cover 403. A second heating element 404 and a second temperature controller 405 are also fixed to the air duct cover 403.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figures 6-8 As shown, the drying and disinfection equipment also includes an air duct system. The air duct system includes an air inlet 601, an exhaust outlet 602, and a cavity 603, all located on the rear cover 6. The cavity 603 is formed by the outer shell 5, the rear cover 6, the first cavity 1, and the second cavity 2. The cavity 603 is connected to the first fan system 3 and the second fan system 4, respectively.

[0046] The first air inlet 103 is connected to the cavity 603 via the first fan system 3, and the first air outlet 104 is also connected to the cavity 603. The second air inlet 203 is connected to the cavity 603 via the second fan system 4, and the second air outlet 204 is also connected to the cavity 603. Therefore, the first fan system 3 and the second fan system 4 share a single air duct system, ensuring that both systems can operate independently while maintaining a compact structure and small size for the entire device.

[0047] The first fan system 3 is installed on the rear plate 102 of the first cavity 1. The second fan system 4 is installed on the bottom plate 202 of the second cavity 2. The different positions of the first fan system 3 and the second fan system 4 can further optimize the size and layout of the first cavity 1 and the second cavity 2. In particular, for the second cavity 2, the second fan system 4, which is located at the bottom, can provide a better air inlet angle, so that all the items to be dried can quickly come into contact with the hot air coming in from the second air inlet 203, thereby improving drying efficiency and increasing the drying speed of the items in the second cavity 2.

[0048] When the drying operation of the first chamber 1 is started, the first fan 301 operates. Cold air first passes through the filter assembly 604, then enters the air inlet 601, and then enters the cavity 603 through the air inlet 601, before being drawn into the first fan 301. The first heating element 303 heats the cold air, and the heated air passes through the first air duct support 302 and enters the first chamber 1 through the first air inlet 103 to dry the items in the first chamber 1. The hot air containing water vapor is discharged from the first chamber 1 through the two first air outlets 104, and finally passes through the cavity 603 and is discharged outside the equipment through the exhaust port 602.

[0049] During the drying process in the first chamber 1, the first temperature controller 304 functions as a temperature control device. Preferably, the first temperature controller 304 is a self-resetting temperature controller. When the temperature of the heated air is too high, since the hot air passes through the first temperature controller 304 first, it will activate and cut off the power to the first heating element 303, preventing the hot air blown into the first chamber 1 from becoming too hot. Alternatively, a temperature sensor can be installed inside the first chamber 1. When the temperature inside the chamber is too high, the temperature sensor will also cut off the power to the first heating element 303 to prevent the chamber temperature from becoming too high.

[0050] When the drying operation of the second chamber 2 is started, the second fan 401 operates. Similarly, cold air passes through the filter assembly 604, the air inlet 601 and the cavity 603 in sequence, is drawn into the second fan 401, blown onto the second heating element 404 and heated. The hot air heated by the second heating element 404 enters the second air duct support 402 through the air duct cover 403, and then enters the second chamber 2 through the second air inlet 203 to dry the items in the chamber 2. The hot air with water vapor is finally discharged from the second chamber 2 through the second air outlet 204, and finally discharged to the outside of the product through the exhaust port 602.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
