Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of disinfection and drying equipment, specifically a drainage base for disinfection and drying equipment. Background Technology
[0002] During the actual use of disinfection and drying equipment, certain liquids, such as condensate, will be generated inside the equipment during disinfection and drying operations. If these liquids are not drained from the equipment in a timely and effective manner, it will adversely affect the normal operation and service life of the equipment.
[0003] In the field of infant product sterilization, the cleaning and sterilization of baby bottles is crucial. As consumers demand higher sterilization effectiveness and better equipment performance, the use of sterilization and drying equipment is becoming increasingly common. However, during the sterilization and drying process, a large amount of condensation is generated inside the equipment. If this liquid cannot be drained in time, it can easily breed bacteria, contaminating the sterilized bottles, and corrode the internal electronic components, affecting the equipment's lifespan.
[0004] Early sterilization and drying equipment had simple base structures, lacking dedicated drainage and flow guidance designs. Liquid flowed freely on the base surface, making it difficult to collect and drain, resulting in some liquid remaining inside the equipment. Although some later equipment had drainage holes in the base, the lack of a corresponding flow guidance structure prevented liquid from flowing smoothly to the drainage holes. Often, liquid would accumulate on the base, only occasionally flowing into the drainage holes after reaching a certain height, resulting in extremely low drainage efficiency. Furthermore, prolonged water accumulation could seep into other parts of the equipment through gaps, causing further malfunctions.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problems of difficult drainage and low efficiency of the base of disinfection and drying equipment, it is particularly necessary to design a drainage base with drainage and flow guiding structure that can effectively guide the liquid to the drainage hole for discharge. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the above problems.
[0007] A drainage base for a disinfection and drying device includes a base body, the upper surface of which is provided with a drainage structure and a flow guiding structure.
[0008] The drainage structure includes at least one drainage hole, and the flow guiding structure is used to guide liquid from the upper surface of the base body to the drainage hole.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the flow guiding structure includes a curved flow guiding surface, which extends in an arc shape from the drain hole as the lowest point, so as to use gravity to allow the liquid to flow naturally to the drain hole.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the flow guiding structure includes a protrusion disposed in the middle of the upper surface of the base body, and a flow guiding slope inclined towards the drain hole is formed between the protrusion and the drain hole, which is used to guide the liquid from the protrusion to the drain hole.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the flow guiding structure also includes a protrusion disposed in the middle of the upper surface of the base body, and a flow guiding slope inclined towards the drain hole is formed between the protrusion and the drain hole, which is used to guide the liquid from the protrusion to the drain hole;
[0012] The end of the guide slope is connected to the guide surface, and the drainage hole is located at the junction of the guide slope and the guide surface.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the base body has a base plate and a connected outer shell, the drainage structure and the flow guiding structure are disposed on the upper surface of the outer shell, the drainage hole penetrates the outer shell and extends to the base plate, and the liquid can flow from the upper surface of the outer shell to the base plate through the drainage hole, and finally be discharged from the bottom of the base plate.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the base plate is provided with a drainage area, and the drainage area is provided with a water outlet hole;
[0015] The water outlet is connected to the drain hole so that liquid can flow from the upper surface of the outer shell through the drain hole to the drainage area and be discharged through the water outlet.
[0016] Alternatively, the drainage area and water outlet are independent of the drainage hole, so as to collect and discharge liquids in different areas of the base body respectively.
[0017] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom plate is also provided with a receiving groove, so the receiving groove is used to receive water that leaks from the outer shell to form a water storage space, and the stored water can be evaporated by its own heat when the disinfection and drying equipment is in operation.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This utility model's disinfection and drying equipment drainage base features an innovative drainage and flow guiding structure. Utilizing gravity, it guides liquid to flow quickly and orderly towards the drainage holes, significantly improving drainage efficiency, reducing liquid residue on the base, and lowering the risk of bacterial growth.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the invention, the present invention aims to solve the problems of poor drainage and low efficiency of existing disinfection and drying equipment drainage bases. By innovatively designing the drainage base structure, a disinfection and drying equipment drainage base that can efficiently guide liquid out is proposed, which is especially suitable for disinfection and drying scenarios of baby bottles and other infant products.
[0029] The core of the drainage base for the sterilization and drying equipment provided by this utility model lies in the coordinated operation of the drainage structure and the flow guiding structure set on the upper surface of the base body 1. The drainage structure includes at least one drainage hole 2, which is the final channel for liquid to drain from the base. The number and diameter of the hole are set according to the actual drainage needs of the equipment. The function of the flow guiding structure is to guide the liquid generated at various places on the upper surface of the base body 1, such as the condensate generated during the sterilization and drying of baby bottles, to the drainage hole 2 in an orderly manner. Through this design, the disordered flow of liquid and the difficulty in draining the traditional base are changed, ensuring that the liquid can be drained from the base quickly and efficiently.
[0030] In the first embodiment of this utility model, the flow guiding structure adopts a curved flow guiding surface 3, which extends in an arc shape from the drain hole 2 as the lowest point. In practical applications, when the baby bottle generates condensate in the sterilization and drying equipment and drips onto the upper surface of the base, due to the arc structure of the flow guiding surface 3, according to the principle of gravity, the gravity on the liquid can be decomposed into a pressure perpendicular to the flow guiding surface 3 and a component force along the flow guiding surface 3 pointing towards the drain hole 2. Under the action of this component force, the liquid can converge towards the drain hole 2 along the curved surface of the flow guiding surface 3 with the shortest path. For example, the flow guiding surface 3 can be designed in a shape similar to a parabola, so that liquids at different positions can flow towards the drain hole 2 with the optimal trajectory, avoiding the diffusion and stagnation of liquids on the upper surface of the base, greatly improving drainage efficiency, and reducing the possibility of bacterial growth.
[0031] In the second embodiment of this utility model, the flow guiding structure consists of a protrusion 4 located in the middle of the upper surface of the base body 1 and a flow guiding slope 5 formed between the protrusion 4 and the drain hole 2. The protrusion 4 can be designed in various shapes such as columnar or pedestal according to actual needs. The determination of its height and position is intended to disperse the liquid in all directions and guide it to the flow guiding slope 5. When the equipment generates liquid during operation, the liquid first gathers around the protrusion 4. Due to the inclined setting of the flow guiding slope 5, the liquid will flow from high to low along the slope under the action of gravity, and finally flow to the drain hole 2. This structure has obvious advantages when dealing with a large amount of liquid. It can disperse and guide the concentrated liquid, avoid the liquid from accumulating too much in one place and affecting the drainage effect, and make the drainage process more orderly and efficient.
[0032] In the third embodiment of this utility model, the first two embodiments are combined. Based on the protrusion 4 and the guide slope 5, the end of the guide slope 5 is connected to the guide surface 3, and the drain hole 2 is located at the junction of the guide slope 5 and the guide surface 3. This combined structure further optimizes the liquid flow path. When the liquid flows from the guide slope 5 to the drain hole 2, it can naturally continue to converge towards the drain hole 2 along the guide surface 3 at the junction of the end of the guide slope 5 and the guide surface 3. The seamless connection of the two flow guiding methods makes the liquid flow more smoothly on the upper surface of the base. Whether it is a small amount of liquid or a large amount of liquid, it can be quickly and efficiently guided to the drain hole 2 for discharge, realizing good adaptability to different drainage needs.
[0033] Furthermore, the protrusion 4 and its guiding slope 5 are located in the middle of the upper surface of the base body 1, while the curved guiding surface 3 is located around the middle of the upper surface of the base body 1, thus forming a spatial arrangement and optimizing the liquid flow path. This layout forms a layered guiding system. The protrusion 4 disperses the liquid in the middle area of the base to the surrounding areas. After the liquid flows along the guiding slope 5 to the end, it naturally connects to the surrounding curved guiding surface 3. Since the end of the guiding slope 5 and the guiding surface 3 transition smoothly, the liquid can seamlessly switch its flow path under the action of gravity and continue to converge towards the lowest point of the drain hole 2 along the curvature of the guiding surface 3. This design takes into account both the dispersion and guidance of liquid in the middle concentrated area and the efficient convergence of liquid in the surrounding area, effectively avoiding the stagnation and backflow of liquid at the guiding connection point, greatly improving the overall drainage efficiency, and ensuring that during the operation of the disinfection and drying equipment, whether it is a small amount of condensate or a large amount of accumulated water, it can be discharged from the base quickly and orderly.
[0034] The structural design of the base body 1 has also been carefully considered. It has a base plate 6 and a connected outer shell 7. The drainage structure and the flow guiding structure are set on the upper surface of the outer shell 7. The drain hole 2 penetrates the outer shell 7 and extends to the base plate 6. This design ensures that the liquid flows from the upper surface of the outer shell 7 through the drain hole 2 to the base plate 6 and finally drains from the bottom of the base plate 6, forming a complete drainage path. In the actual manufacturing process, the outer shell 7 and the base plate 6 adopt a sealed connection to prevent the liquid from leaking into other parts of the equipment during the flow process and to ensure the reliability of the drainage system.
[0035] For the base plate 6, a drainage area 8 and a water outlet 9 are provided, and their connection relationship can be in two ways. When the water outlet 9 is connected to the drainage hole 2, the liquid discharged from the drainage hole 2 will flow directly into the drainage area 8, and then be discharged from the base through the water outlet 9. This method is suitable for the need for unified drainage of the whole, ensuring that the liquid can be discharged in a concentrated manner. When the drainage area 8 and the water outlet 9 are independent of the drainage hole 2, the liquid in different areas of the base body 1 can be collected and discharged separately. For example, in the disinfection and drying equipment, the liquid generated in different areas can be discharged through the drainage hole 2 and the water outlet 9 of the drainage area 8 respectively. For example, the drainage hole 2 corresponds to the middle area, and the water outlet 9 of the drainage area 8 corresponds to the edge area. This design improves the flexibility and targeting of drainage and can better adapt to complex usage scenarios. Among them, the drainage hole 2 can be a conical structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom. This structure is conducive to the smooth flow of liquid, avoids blockage, and can play a certain role in converging and guiding liquid during the drainage process, thereby improving drainage efficiency.
[0036] Furthermore, the receiving groove 10 provided in the base plate 6 is specifically designed to collect water leaking from the outer casing 7. Specifically, after prolonged use, the sealing ring inside the base body 1 may inevitably age, break, or deform, causing it to fail to fit tightly against the corresponding area, resulting in water seepage to the base plate 6 and water accumulation. In actual use, even if there is a small amount of leakage from the outer casing 7, the water will flow into the receiving groove 10, forming a temporary water storage space. Since the disinfection and drying equipment generates heat during operation, the water in the receiving groove 10 can be evaporated using this heat. The shape and size of the receiving groove 10 are designed according to the actual amount of water leakage that may occur, and its position is set in an area that can effectively collect the leaking water (such as positioning the receiving groove 10 at the connection position between the base plate 6 and the outer casing 7 and / or the corresponding sealing position, etc.), thereby preventing water leakage from damaging the equipment and further improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.
[0037] In summary, the drainage base of this utility model for disinfection and drying equipment, through innovative design of drainage and flow guiding structures, utilizes gravity to guide liquid to flow quickly and orderly to the drainage hole 2, significantly improving drainage efficiency, reducing liquid residue on the base, and lowering the risk of bacterial growth. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents liquid leakage from corroding internal components, and the base plate 6's receiving groove 10 can evaporate leaked water, extending the equipment's service life. Furthermore, the arrangement of the drainage area 8 and water outlet 9 on the base plate 6 allows it to flexibly adapt to different drainage needs, improving versatility and effectively solving existing technical problems, thereby enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.
[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
