Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baby bottle sterilizer technology, and in particular to a retractable baby bottle sterilizer. Background Technology
[0002] A bottle sterilizer is a household appliance specifically designed to efficiently and thoroughly clean and sterilize baby bottles, nipples, breast pumps, and other related maternal and infant products used during infant feeding. This device effectively kills bacteria and viruses through high-temperature steam or other sterilization methods, ensuring the hygiene and safety of baby products.
[0003] However, most bottle sterilizers currently on the market are quite bulky. This not only requires larger packaging materials during production and packaging but also directly leads to wasted space during transportation. The increased packaging volume significantly impacts transportation efficiency, increases logistics costs, and also causes inconvenience for consumers during storage and use.
[0004] Therefore, optimizing the design of bottle sterilizers and reducing their size while ensuring sterilization effectiveness has become an important direction for enhancing product competitiveness. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a retractable baby bottle sterilizer, mainly composed of four parts: a base, a compartment, shelves, and a top cover. When the user needs to use the sterilizer, the compartment, shelves, and top cover can be stacked sequentially on top of the base. When packaging or transporting the sterilizer, the user can place the compartment into the shelves, then place the base into the compartment, and finally attach the top cover to the top of the compartment. In this way, the baby bottle sterilizer is in a retractable state, making it convenient for storage and carrying.
[0006] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom width of the base is smaller than its top width; the bottom width of the storage box is also smaller than its top width; the bottom width of the shelf is also smaller than its top width; in addition, the bottom width of the storage box is larger than the top width of the base, which allows the base to be smoothly placed into the storage box; at the same time, the bottom width of the shelf is larger than the top width of the storage box, thereby ensuring that the storage box can be placed inside the shelf.
[0007] According to some embodiments of this utility model, in order to ensure the stability of the bin placed on the top of the base, a supporting rib ring is provided at the top of the base, and a limiting rib ring is provided at the bottom of the bin; when the bin is placed on the top of the base, the limiting rib ring is located exactly inside the supporting rib ring, thereby providing stable support.
[0008] According to some embodiments of this utility model, in order to ensure the stability of the shelf placed on the top of the storage box, a step position is designed on the top of the storage box. When the shelf is placed on the top of the storage box, the edge of the shelf is placed on the step position to ensure the stability of the shelf.
[0009] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a right-angle position is provided at the bottom edge of the top cover. When the bottle sterilizer is in use, the top edge of the shelf is located within the right-angle position, ensuring a tight fit between the top cover and the shelf. When the bottle sterilizer is in storage, the right-angle position fits into the top of the compartment when the top cover is placed on top of the compartment, further ensuring the overall stability.
[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the base is provided with a water-containing cavity, and the bottom of the water-containing cavity is equipped with a heating plate. During use, the user pours water into the water-containing cavity, and the heating plate heats the water to generate steam; this steam can be used to efficiently sterilize baby products such as bottles, nipples, and teething toys.
[0011] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the base is also provided with an inclined flow surface, the lowest point of which is connected to the top of the water-containing cavity.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in Figures 13 to 15, the retractable bottle sterilizer mainly consists of four parts: a base 100, a container 200, a shelf 300, and a top cover 400. When the user needs to use the sterilizer, the container 200, shelf 300, and top cover 400 can be stacked sequentially on top of the base 100. The sterilization process involves placing the bottles or larger items to be sterilized inside the container 200, while placing the nipples or other smaller items inside the shelf 300. At this point, the bottle sterilizer is in use and can effectively perform its sterilization function.
[0044] When packaging or transporting the sterilizer, to switch it from the use state to the storage state, the user can place the container 200 into the shelf 300, then place the base 100 into the container 200, and finally put the top cover 400 on top of the container 200; in this way, the bottle sterilizer is in the storage state, which is convenient for storage and carrying.
[0045] Figure 3 , 15 As shown, in order to achieve the above-mentioned storage function, in this embodiment, the cross-sections of the base 100, the storage box 200, and the shelf 300 are all designed as trapezoidal structures.
[0046] Specifically, the bottom width of the base 100 is smaller than its top width; the bottom width of the storage box 200 is also smaller than its top width; and the bottom width of the shelf 300 is also smaller than its top width.
[0047] In addition, the bottom width of the storage box 200 is greater than the top width of the base 100, which allows the base 100 to be easily placed into the storage box 200.
[0048] At the same time, the bottom width of the shelf 300 is greater than the top width of the storage box 200, thus ensuring that the storage box 200 can be placed inside the shelf 300.
[0049] Reference Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the storage box 200 placed on top of the base 100, a support rib ring 110 is provided on the top of the base 100, while a limiting rib ring 210 is provided on the bottom of the storage box 200; when the storage box 200 is placed on top of the base 100, the limiting rib ring 210 is located exactly inside the support rib ring 110, thereby providing stable support.
[0050] Reference Figure 3 , 5 As shown, similarly, in order to ensure the stability of the shelf 300 placed on top of the storage box 200, a step position 220 is designed on the top of the storage box 200. When the shelf 300 is placed on top of the storage box 200, the edge of the shelf 300 is placed on the step position 220, ensuring the stability of the shelf 300.
[0051] Reference Figure 3 , 6 As shown in Figure 16, a right-angle position 410 is provided at the bottom edge of the top cover 400. When the bottle sterilizer is in use, the top edge of the shelf 300 is located within the right-angle position 410, ensuring a tight fit between the top cover 400 and the shelf 300.
[0052] When the bottle sterilizer is in storage mode, when the top cover 400 is placed on top of the compartment 200, the right angle position 410 fits into the step position 220, further ensuring the overall stability.
[0053] Reference Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the base 100 has a water-containing cavity 120 at the top and a heating plate 500 at the bottom. During use, the user pours water into the water-containing cavity 120, and the heating plate 500 heats the water to generate steam. This steam can be used to efficiently sterilize baby products such as bottles, nipples, and teething toys.
[0054] Meanwhile, the top of the base 100 is also provided with an inclined flow surface 130, the lowest point of which is connected to the top of the water-containing cavity 120.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 , 8As shown, after steam sterilization, water droplets may remain on baby products such as bottles, nipples, and teething toys. If not dried promptly, water stains can easily form. Therefore, a hot air generator 600 is installed inside the base 100, and an air outlet grille 140 is provided at the top of the base 100. The air outlet of the hot air generator 600 is located below the air outlet grille 140. Hot air is generated by the hot air generator 600 and enters the bottom of the compartment 200 through the air outlet grille 140, then sequentially flows upwards into the compartment 200 and the shelf 300, thus completing the hot air drying process.
[0056] Reference Figure 7 , 8 As shown, specifically, the hot air generating device 600 includes a fan 610, an air duct component 620, and a heating element 630; the fan 610 is installed at the air inlet of the air duct component 620, and the heating element 630 is installed inside the air duct component 620, with the air outlet of the air duct component 620 located below the air outlet grille 140; during hot air drying, the fan 610 blows cold air into the air duct component 620, and the heating element 630 heats the cold air into hot air, which is then blown from the air duct component 620 to the air outlet grille 140.
[0057] Figure 9 As shown, to prevent condensate from dripping into the air duct 620 and causing a short circuit or corrosion in the heating element 630, a cover 640 is rotatably installed at the air outlet of the air duct 620. When the cover 640 is blown by hot air, it flips over, exposing the air outlet of the air duct 620; when the hot air drying ends, the cover 640 returns to its original position under gravity, resealing the air outlet of the air duct 620.
[0058] Reference Figures 10 to 12 As shown, in order to ensure that steam and hot air can smoothly enter the bin 200 and the shelf 300, a first through hole 230 and a second through hole 240 are provided on the bottom surface of the bin 200, and a plurality of third through holes 310 are arranged on the bottom of the shelf 300.
[0059] Reference Figure 11 As shown, a hollow tube 250 is detachably installed at the first through hole 230. The baby bottle is placed upside down on the hollow tube 250. This design not only ensures that the baby bottle is placed stably during sterilization and drying, but also allows steam and hot air to enter the inner cavity of the baby bottle through the hollow tube 250.
[0060] In this embodiment, six first through holes 230 are evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the storage box 200, while multiple second through holes 240 are provided on the remaining positions of the bottom surface of the storage box 200.
[0061] Reference Figure 10As shown, guide ribs 260 are also provided at the bottom of the bin 200. These guide ribs 260 effectively guide the steam and hot air, ensuring they are evenly distributed at the bottom of the bin 200. In this way, steam and hot air can smoothly enter the bin 200 and the shelf 300 through the second through hole 240 and the third through hole 310, and are evenly distributed within them, thus significantly improving the effectiveness of steam sterilization and hot air drying.
