Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a leak-proof sealing structure for a baby bottle cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing literature, Chinese utility model publication CN217040033U proposes a "full-coverage baby bottle cleaner," comprising: a steam generator, a steam jetting unit, and a cleaning chamber capable of holding at least one layer of items to be cleaned, all located within the main body. The steam jetting unit includes an outer jetting unit and an inner jetting unit connected to the steam outlet of the steam generator. The outer jetting unit includes at least two outer jetting branches, each including an outer steam nozzle positioned above the cleaning chamber that sprays steam downwards to cover the outer surface of the items to be cleaned. The inner jetting unit includes at least two inner jetting branches, each including an inner steam nozzle positioned below the cleaning chamber that sprays steam upwards to cover the inner surface of the items to be cleaned. It also proposes that the cleaning chamber be equipped with a cover that can be rotated open.

[0003] Similarly, Chinese utility model publication CN222267977U also proposes a baby bottle washer with an openable / closable protective cap on top and its drainage structure.

[0004] Because these types of baby bottle cleaning equipment spray water into the cleaning chamber through a rinsing mechanism during the cleaning process, the aforementioned baby bottle cleaners with protective caps lack corresponding sealing and leak-proof features. After the protective cap is closed, water leakage is likely to occur during the water spraying cleaning process. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution to address the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a leak-proof sealing structure for a baby bottle washing machine, including a housing, the housing having a washing chamber, the washing chamber having a retrieval port, a chamber cover corresponding to the retrieval port being provided on the housing, the chamber cover having a closing edge corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port, and a sealing element on the closing edge of the chamber cover; A mounting groove is formed on the side of the cover edge corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port. The seal is connected in the mounting groove, and a part of the seal is exposed outside the mounting groove to form an exposed part. When the cover edge is closed on the edge of the retrieval port, the exposed part contacts the edge of the retrieval port. The exposed part is a soft exposed part; An air retention groove is formed on the side of the exposed part that is recessed to the side corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port.

[0007] A further technical solution of this utility model: the exposed part extends along the edge of the cover to form a circular exposed part with the ends connected; The air retention trough extends along the extension path of the exposed part to form a circular air retention trough.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 The leak-proof sealing structure of the baby bottle washer includes a housing 1, a cleaning chamber 2, a retrieval port 3, and a cover 4 corresponding to the retrieval port 3. The cover 4 can be opened / closed relative to the retrieval port 3. For example, the cover 4 can close the retrieval port 3 to shut off the cleaning chamber 2.

[0020] In this embodiment, the chamber cover 4 has a covering edge 5 corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port 3. The covering edge 5 of the chamber cover has a sealing element. When the chamber cover 4 covers the retrieval port 3, the covering edge 5 can be sealed and covered with the edge of the retrieval port 3 through the sealing element.

[0021] In some embodiments, the retrieval port 3 can be located at the top of the cleaning chamber 2, and the chamber cover 4 can also be located at the top of the housing 1.

[0022] In some embodiments, the chamber cover 4 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, meaning that the chamber cover 4 can be rotatably opened / rotated on.

[0023] For example, a hinge seat is provided on the top of the housing 1, and one side of the cover 4 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat.

[0024] In some embodiments, the chamber cover 4 is provided with a vent. The vent can be used, for example, to allow hot air carrying moisture to be discharged from the vent when there is hot air in the cleaning chamber.

[0025] In some embodiments, the seal includes a soft outer jacket 7.

[0026] In some embodiments, a mounting groove 9 is formed on the side of the cover edge 5 corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port 3. The seal is connected in the mounting groove 9 and at least the soft outer sleeve 7 of the seal is exposed outside the mounting groove 9. When the cover edge 5 covers the edge of the retrieval port 3, the soft outer sleeve 7 contacts the edge of the retrieval port 3.

[0027] In some embodiments, the soft jacket 7 includes a soft polyvinyl chloride (SPVC) jacket, which is formed by an extrusion process.

[0028] In some embodiments, the soft outer cover may be configured to have an internal air bladder.

[0029] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a sensor 10 for detecting the closing status of the chamber cover 4.

[0030] In some embodiments, the sensor is, for example, a proximity sensor. After the lid is closed, the proximity sensor detects the situation, and the control system of the bottle washer receives the signal from the sensor to confirm that the lid is closed.

[0031] In some embodiments, the sensor is, for example, a Hall sensor, and a magnet is connected to the cover. The Hall sensor senses the magnetic field of the magnet. After the cover is closed, on the one hand, the cover can be sealed by the sealing element, and on the other hand, the Hall sensor provides a detection signal indicating that the cover is closed to the control system 11 by sensing the magnetic field of the magnet. The control system confirms that the cover is closed based on the obtained closing signal.

[0032] In some embodiments, the control system may perform corresponding control based on whether a signal indicating that the lid is properly closed is received. For example, after determining that the lid is properly closed, the bottle washer is allowed to perform the cleaning operation. Conversely, for example, if it is confirmed that the lid is not properly closed, the bottle washer is prohibited from performing the cleaning operation or the cleaning operation is paused.

[0033] A further technical solution of this utility model: when the chamber cover is closed on the machine casing, the sealing element is located between the magnet and the retrieval port.

[0034] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a magnetically engaging component corresponding to the magnet. After the cover is closed, the magnet and the magnetically engaging component magnetically engage, allowing the cover to fit snugly onto the housing, thus enabling the seal to perform its sealing function effectively. The magnetically engaging component is, for example, an iron block mounted on the housing that does not contact the magnet.

[0035] In some embodiments, a mounting groove 9 is formed on the side of the cover edge 5 corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port 3. A seal is connected in the mounting groove 9, and a portion of the seal protrudes outside the mounting groove 9 to form an exposed portion 12. When the cover edge 5 is closed on the edge of the retrieval port 3, the exposed portion 12 contacts the edge of the retrieval port 3.

[0036] The exposed portion 12 is a soft exposed portion. An air retention groove 13 is formed inward on one side of the exposed portion 12 corresponding to the edge of the retrieval port 3.

[0037] When the cover edge 5 is closed on the edge of the retrieval port 3, the air in the air retention groove 13 can be forcefully squeezed out, so that the sealing element forms a negative pressure airbag that is adsorbed on the edge of the retrieval port 3, so that the chamber cover has a good seal when it is closed.

[0038] In some embodiments, the exposed portion 12 extends along the cover edge 5 to form a circular exposed portion with the ends connected, and the air retention groove 13 extends along the extension path of the exposed portion 12 to form a circular air retention groove.

[0039] In some embodiments, the soft outer cover extends along the cover edge 5 to form a loop structure with the ends connected.

[0040] In some embodiments, the magnetic mating element extends along the cover edge 5 and has a break section for sensor clearance.

[0041] In some embodiments, the exposed portion 12 of the seal is part of the soft outer sheath 7 of the seal.

[0042] In some embodiments, a handle 14 is provided on the outside of the chamber cover 4, which allows the user to easily open / close the chamber cover.

[0043] 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 illustrative 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. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
