Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tableware disinfection and drying technology, specifically to a drying and sterilization box. Background Technology

[0002] After use, tableware needs to be washed, dried, and disinfected promptly for safer reuse. While existing tableware disinfection systems are effective, they are also costly. Small restaurants and similar establishments often cannot afford this, so they typically wash and air-dry tableware before reuse. It's easy to see that this is not hygienic.

[0003] In order to reduce the cost of tableware sterilization equipment while ensuring good drying and sterilization, we propose a drying sterilization box. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical difficulties and provide a drying and sterilization box that can reduce its own cost while ensuring good drying and sterilization effect of tableware, thus making it suitable for small restaurants and other occasions.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A drying and sterilization chamber, comprising:

[0007] The drying and sterilization chamber has a body and a lid; after the top of the chamber is opened, the lid closes to the top of the chamber, and the lid has multiple evaporation holes.

[0008] The device includes a motor, a disc, a disc shaft, and a disinfection basket. The disc is provided in pairs and is rotatably connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the box body via a disc shaft. One of the disc shafts is connected to a motor that is installed and fixed on the outside of the box body. The disinfection basket is a mesh basket structure with an open top and is rotatably connected between the two discs. Multiple baskets are also evenly arranged along the circumference of the discs.

[0009] Multiple ultraviolet lamps and electric heating elements are installed inside the enclosure.

[0010] As an improvement, some of the disinfection baskets are equipped with limiting ribs. Multiple pairs of these ribs are evenly arranged along the left-right direction, and each pair is fixed to the front and rear inner walls of the basket. When the distance between two adjacent pairs of ribs is small, plates and dishes can be placed upright within the space; when the distance is large, bowls can be placed upright within the space. Disinfection baskets without limiting ribs can be used to store chopsticks.

[0011] As an improvement, the disinfection basket has rotating shafts fixed to the left and right sides, respectively, and these shafts are located slightly above the center of the basket. This ensures that the opening of the basket always faces upwards as the rotating disk moves.

[0012] As an improvement, the housing is a square box structure, and wheels are installed at each of the four bottom corners. This facilitates the movement of the new device within a small range.

[0013] It is worth mentioning that the motor, ultraviolet lamp, and electric heating element used in this technical solution are all existing devices of common knowledge, and their use and control methods are all existing technologies. The motor is a brake motor.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0015] 1. In use, each disinfection basket holds bowls, plates, or chopsticks. After closing the lid and activating the ultraviolet lamps and heating elements, the tableware can be effectively dried and disinfected. Furthermore, this new equipment is more cost-effective and suitable for small restaurants and similar establishments, ensuring better hygiene of tableware in these environments.

[0016] 2. Each disinfection basket in this new type of device is rotatably mounted inside the box, which allows for convenient retrieval and placement of tableware in each basket. Attached Figure Description

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Additionally, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A drying and sterilization chamber, comprising:

[0026] The drying and sterilization chamber has a body 1 and a lid 2. After the top of the body 1 is open, the lid 2 is closed on the top of the body 1. The rear side of the lid 2 is hinged to the top of the body 1, and the front side is connected and fixed to the top of the body 1 by a buckle (not shown in the figure). The lid 2 has multiple evaporation holes 3. The body 1 is a square box structure, and the four corners of the bottom are equipped with wheels 12.

[0027] The system comprises a motor 4, a disc 5, a disc shaft 6, and a disinfection basket 7. A pair of discs 5 are provided, each rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the housing 1 via a disc shaft 6. One disc shaft 6 is connected to the motor 4, which is mounted and fixed to the outside of the housing 1. The disinfection basket 7 is an open-top mesh basket structure. Disinfection basket shafts 11, rotatably connected to the discs 5, are fixed to the left and right sides of the basket. The shafts 11 are located slightly above the center of the basket 7. Multiple shafts 11 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the discs 5. Some of the disinfection baskets 7 contain limiting ribs 10. Multiple pairs of limiting ribs 10 are evenly distributed along the left and right directions, and the pairs of limiting ribs 10 are fixed to the front and rear inner walls of the disinfection basket 7.

[0028] Multiple ultraviolet lamps 8 and electric heating tubes 9 are installed inside the housing 1.

[0029] In the specific implementation of this embodiment:

[0030] The intermittent operation of motor 4 drives each sterilization basket 7 to move to the position closest to the opening of the chamber 1 (motor 4 is a brake motor, which can prevent the disc 5 and sterilization basket 7 from rotating when not in operation). This allows bowls, plates, or chopsticks to be placed into their respective sterilization baskets 7, making placement convenient. Then, the chamber lid 2 is closed, and the ultraviolet lamp 8 and heating element 9 are activated to dry and sterilize the tableware. The hot steam generated during drying is discharged through the evaporation hole 3. Finally, the intermittent operation of motor 4 ensures that each sterilization basket 7 passes sequentially to its position closest to the opening, allowing for convenient removal of the tableware from each basket 7.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] As a different embodiment, the disc 5 can also be designed as a cross-shaped rod structure, with a disc pivot 6 fixed at the center and disinfection baskets 7 rotatably connected to each end, so that a total of six disinfection baskets 7 can be set.

[0033] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
