Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen utensil disinfection devices, and in particular to a kitchen utensil disinfection device. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen utensil sterilizers, as highly efficient kitchen hygiene devices for removing bacteria from the surfaces of various kitchen utensils such as cutting boards and knives, have gained widespread attention and favor from consumers due to their convenient high-temperature drying and sterilization function. Existing kitchen utensil sterilizers on the market typically employ high-temperature drying technology to kill bacteria on the surfaces of cutting boards, knives, and other kitchen utensils, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the food processing environment.

[0003] In actual use, kitchen utensil sterilizers primarily dry the surface of kitchen utensils with hot air. However, in daily life, users often place freshly washed kitchen utensils into the sterilizer without draining them first. Water adhering to the utensils drips into the sterilizer, potentially causing short circuits in electronic components, affecting its function, and posing a significant safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a kitchen utensil sterilization device to address the above problems.

[0005] A kitchen utensil sterilization device, comprising:

[0006] The fuselage contains a cavity.

[0007] A water-blocking assembly includes a water-blocking component and a mating component. The water-blocking component is fitted into the receiving cavity and divides the receiving cavity into a receiving space and an installation space distributed vertically along the direction of gravity. The water-blocking component has a communication port connecting the receiving space and the installation space. The mating component is movably fitted onto the water-blocking component and is configured to open the communication port when the kitchen utensil sterilization device is running and to close the communication port when the kitchen utensil sterilization device is not running.

[0008] The air drying assembly includes an air outlet and a heating element, both of which are housed within the installation space, with the heating element located on the air outlet path of the air outlet.

[0009] In one embodiment, the water-blocking member includes a first section, a second section, a third section, and a water-blocking segment. The first section is disposed above the second section along the direction of gravity. The third section is connected between the first section and the second section, and the first section, the second section, and the third section together form the communication opening. The water-blocking segment is disposed at one end of the second section near the communication opening and protrudes from the surface of the second section near the receiving space.

[0010] In one embodiment, one end of the mating member is movably engaged with one end of the first segment near the communication port and is configured to form a rotation fulcrum.

[0011] When the kitchen utensil sterilizer is running, the airflow from the air outlet will cause the mating component to rotate around the pivot point to open the connection port; when the kitchen utensil sterilizer is not running, the mating component will rotate around the pivot point under the action of gravity to close the connection port.

[0012] In one embodiment, a detection and control component is further included. The detection and control component includes a detection element and a control element. The detection element is used to detect whether the airflow blown by the air outlet causes the mating component to rotate around the pivot point to open the communication port when the kitchen utensil disinfection device is running. The control element is communicatively connected to the detection element and the heating element. The control element is used to control the heating element to start when the detection element detects that the airflow blown by the air outlet causes the mating component to open the communication port; and the control element is used to control the heating element to shut down when the detection element detects that the airflow blown by the air outlet does not cause the mating component to open the communication port.

[0013] In one embodiment, the water-blocking assembly further includes a rotating shaft that is coupled between the mating member and the first segment.

[0014] In one embodiment, the body includes a main body and a bottom cover. The two ends of the main body are interconnected and respectively form a first opening and a second opening. The bottom cover is detachably fitted onto the second opening and together with the main body to form the receiving cavity. The water baffle is fitted between the main body and the bottom cover.

[0015] In one embodiment, the bottom cover has a drain outlet communicating with the installation space, and the drain outlet is located below the communicating outlet along the direction of gravity.

[0016] In one embodiment, the body further includes a partition member that protrudes from the bottom cover and is spaced apart from the water baffle member at one end of the partition member away from the bottom cover, so as to divide the installation space into a first space and a second space that are interconnected and arranged side by side; the drain outlet and the connecting outlet are both connected to the first space, and the air outlet member and the heating member are both housed in the second space.

[0017] In one embodiment, the body has a first opening communicating with the receiving cavity;

[0018] The kitchenware sterilization device also includes a support member, which is disposed at the first opening and connected to the body for placing kitchenware.

[0019] In one embodiment, the fuselage is made of a high-temperature resistant material.

[0020] In the actual operation of the aforementioned kitchen utensil disinfection device, after the washed kitchen utensils are placed in the receiving space, the water adhering to the utensils will drip from the receiving space onto the water-blocking component. At this time, it is necessary to control the moving component relative to the water-blocking component to close the connection port, so as to prevent the water adhering to the kitchen utensils in the receiving cavity from dripping onto the heating element, air outlet, and other electronic components, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electronic components and improving the safety of the kitchen utensil disinfection device. When the kitchen utensil disinfection device is operating to perform high-temperature drying and sterilization of the kitchen utensils, it is necessary to control the moving component relative to the water-blocking component to open the connection port, and the high-temperature airflow formed by the air outlet and heating element enters the receiving space through the connection port to perform high-temperature drying and sterilization of the kitchen utensils placed in the receiving space and the water on the water-blocking component.

[0040] Kitchen utensil sterilizers, as highly efficient kitchen hygiene devices for removing bacteria from the surfaces of various kitchen utensils such as cutting boards and knives, have gained widespread attention and favor from consumers due to their convenient high-temperature drying and sterilization function. Existing kitchen utensil sterilizers on the market typically employ high-temperature drying technology to kill bacteria on the surfaces of cutting boards, knives, and other kitchen utensils, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the food processing environment.

[0041] In actual use, kitchen utensil sterilizers primarily dry the surface of kitchen utensils with hot air. However, in daily life, users often place freshly washed kitchen utensils into the sterilizer without draining them first. Water adhering to the utensils drips into the sterilizer, potentially causing short circuits in electronic components, affecting its function, and posing a significant safety risk.

[0042] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the above problems, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1 to 7One or more embodiments of this application provide a kitchenware disinfection device 100. A water-blocking member 111 is provided to divide the accommodating cavity 101 into an accommodating space 102 and an installation space 103. Electronic components are placed in the installation space 103, and kitchenware is placed in the accommodating space 102. In this way, the mating member 112 can close the connecting port 1111 on the water-blocking member 111 to prevent water droplets adhering to the kitchenware in the accommodating cavity 101 from falling onto the electronic components. The mating member 112 can open the connecting port 1111 when the air outlet member 121 is emitting air, so that the high-temperature airflow formed by the air outlet member 121 and the heating member 122 enters the accommodating space 102 through the connecting port 1111 and performs high-temperature drying and sterilization treatment on the kitchenware placed in the accommodating space 102 and the water on the water-blocking member 111.

[0043] Specifically, please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The kitchen utensil sterilizer 100 includes a body 10, a water-blocking assembly 11, and a drying assembly 12. A receiving cavity 101 is formed within the body 10. The water-blocking assembly 11 includes a water-blocking member 111 and a mating member 112. The water-blocking member 111 is fitted into the receiving cavity 101, dividing the receiving cavity 101 into a receiving space 102 and an installation space 103 distributed vertically along the direction of gravity. A connecting port 1111 is provided on the water-blocking member 111, communicating between the receiving space 102 and the installation space 103. The mating member 112 is movably fitted onto the water-blocking member 111 and is configured to open the connecting port 111 when the kitchen utensil sterilizer 100 is running and close the connecting port 111 when the kitchen utensil sterilizer 100 is not running. The air drying assembly 12 includes an air outlet 121 and a heating element 122. Both the air outlet 121 and the heating element 122 are housed within the installation space 103, and the heating element 122 is located on the air outlet path of the air outlet 121.

[0044] Understandably, during the actual operation of the kitchenware sterilization device 100, after the cleaned kitchenware is placed into the receiving space 102, the water adhering to the kitchenware will drip from the receiving space 102 onto the water-blocking component 111. At this time, it is necessary to control the mating component 112 to move relative to the water-blocking component 111 to close the connecting port 1111, so as to prevent the water adhering to the kitchenware in the receiving cavity 101 from dripping onto the heating element 122, the air outlet 121 and other electronic components, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electronic components and improving the safety of the kitchenware sterilization device 100.

[0045] Furthermore, when the kitchenware disinfection device 100 is running to dry and sterilize the kitchenware at high temperature, it is necessary to control the mating component 112 to move relative to the water-blocking component 111 to open the connecting port 1111, and cooperate with the high-temperature airflow formed by the air outlet component 121 and the heating component 122 to enter the accommodating space 102 through the connecting port 1111 to dry and sterilize the kitchenware placed in the accommodating space 102 and the water on the water-blocking component 111.

[0046] Understandably, the fuselage 10 is made of high-temperature resistant materials to ensure that it can withstand the high-temperature airflow generated by the heating element 122 and guide the flow of the high-temperature airflow. High-temperature resistant materials refer to a class of materials that can work stably for a long time in high-temperature environments and maintain their required physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. High-temperature resistant materials mainly include high-temperature alloys, refractory metals, ceramic materials, cermets, carbon / graphite materials, and composite materials.

[0047] It should be noted that the specific structure of the fuselage 10 is not limited. For some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fuselage 10 includes a main body 104 and a bottom cover 105. The two ends of the main body 104 are interconnected and respectively form a first opening 1041 and a second opening 1042. The bottom cover 105 is detachably fitted onto the second opening 1042 and together with the main body 104, forms a receiving cavity 101. A water-blocking member 111 is fitted between the main body 104 and the bottom cover 105.

[0048] In this application, the specific design of the water-blocking component 111 is not limited. For some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The water-blocking component 111 includes a first section 1112, a second section 1113, a third section 1114, and a water-blocking section 1115. The first section 1112 is positioned above the second section 1113 along the direction of gravity. The third section 1114 connects the first section 1112 and the second section 1113, and the first section 1112, the second section 1113, and the third section 1114 together form a communication opening 1111. The water-blocking section 1115 is located at the end of the second section 1113 near the communication opening 1111 and protrudes from the surface of the second section 1113 near the receiving space 102.

[0049] Understandably, when the kitchenware sterilization device 100 is running to dry and sterilize the kitchenware at high temperature, it is necessary to control the mating part 112 to move relative to the water-blocking part 111 to open the connecting port 1111 so that the high-temperature airflow formed by the air outlet part 121 and the heating part 122 can enter the containing space 102 through the connecting port 1111 and perform high-temperature drying and sterilization on the kitchenware placed in the containing space 102 and the water on the water-blocking part 111.

[0050] In this application, by providing a water-blocking section 1115 protruding from the surface of the second section 1113 near the connecting port 1111 at one end of the second section 1113 near the receiving space 102, it is possible to prevent water on the water-blocking member 111 from dripping from the connecting port 1111 into the installation space 103 after the mating member 112 opens the connecting port 1111. This prevents water adhering to the kitchen utensils in the receiving cavity 101 from dripping onto electronic components such as the heating element 122 and the air outlet 121, which helps to ensure the normal operation of electronic components and improves the safety of the kitchen utensils disinfection device 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 One end of the mating part 112 is movably connected to the end of the first segment 1112 near the connecting port 1111 and forms a rotation fulcrum.

[0052] Understandably, since the first segment 1112 is positioned above the second segment 1113 along the direction of gravity, the airflow from the air outlet 121 will cause the mating component 112 to rotate upwards around the pivot point in a direction opposite to gravity to open the connection port 1111. Correspondingly, when the air outlet 121 stops blowing air, the mating component 112 will rotate downwards around the pivot point in the direction of gravity under the action of gravity to close the connection port 1111.

[0053] Therefore, in the specific embodiments of this application, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 7 When the kitchenware sterilization device 100 is running, the airflow blown out by the air outlet 121 will drive the mating part 112 to rotate around the pivot point to open the connection port 1111. The high-temperature airflow formed by the air outlet 121 and the heating part 122 can enter the accommodating space 102 through the connection port 1111 and perform high-temperature drying and sterilization on the kitchenware and water-blocking part 111 placed in the accommodating space 102.

[0054] When the kitchen utensil sterilizer 100 stops operating, please refer to Figure 6 The mating part 112 will rotate around the pivot point under the action of gravity to close the connecting port 1111, so as to prevent water droplets adhering to the kitchen utensils in the receiving cavity 101 from falling onto the heating element 122, the air outlet 121 and other electronic components, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electronic components and improving the safety of the kitchen utensils disinfection device 100.

[0055] The kitchenware disinfection device 100 provided in this application embodiment can control the automatic opening and closing of the connecting port 1111 of the mating part 112 by the airflow blown out by the air outlet 121 and the effect of gravity, so as to achieve high-temperature drying and sterilization treatment, and to achieve waterproof function of motor components. It is convenient to use and has a simple structure, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0056] Further, please see Figure 5 The specific connection method between the mating part 112 and the first segment 1112 is not limited. For example, the water-blocking assembly 11 also includes a rotating shaft 113, which is connected between the mating part 112 and the first segment 1112.

[0057] It should be noted that the mating part 112 may be unable to rotate around the pivot point to open or close the connecting port 1111 due to structural failure or obstruction by foreign objects. Furthermore, when the kitchenware disinfection device 100 is running, if the mating part 112 cannot open the connecting port 1111 and the heating element 122 continues to heat up, the temperature in the installation space 103 will accumulate and increase significantly, which may lead to structural damage to the kitchenware disinfection device 100, posing a high safety risk.

[0058] Based on this, in this embodiment of the kitchenware disinfection device 100, a detection and control assembly (not shown) is also included. The detection and control assembly includes a detection element and a control element. The detection element is used to detect whether, during operation of the kitchenware disinfection device 100, the airflow from the air outlet 121 causes the mating component 112 to rotate around the pivot point, opening the communication port 1111. The control element is communicatively connected to the detection element and the heating element 122. The control element is used to start the heating element 122 when the detection element detects that the airflow from the air outlet 121 has caused the mating component 112 to open the communication port 1111. The control element is also used to turn off the heating element 122 when the detection element detects that the airflow from the air outlet 121 has not caused the mating component 112 to open the communication port 1111.

[0059] Understandably, please see Figure 7 When the kitchenware sterilization device 100 is running, the air outlet 121 is first activated to generate airflow, which is then directed towards the mating component 112, causing it to rotate around its pivot point to open the connection port 1111. Simultaneously, a detection component is used to detect if the mating component 112 has opened the connection port 1111. If the detection component confirms that the connection port 1111 is open, the heating component 122 is then activated by the control component. This causes the heating component 122 to generate heat, which, in conjunction with the air outlet 121, produces a high-temperature airflow to dry and sterilize the kitchenware placed in the accommodating space 102 and the water-retaining component 111. If the detection component determines that the connection port 1111 is not open, the control component must shut down the heating component 122 to prevent it from continuously heating within the enclosed installation space 103, ensuring the safety of the kitchenware sterilization device 100.

[0060] It should be noted that when the water accumulated on the water-blocking component 111 exceeds the height of the water-blocking section 1115, or when the kitchenware disinfection device 100 is subjected to external impact and shakes significantly when the connecting port 1111 is opened, the water on the water-blocking component 111 may flow into the installation space 103 from the connecting port 1111, causing a short circuit in the electronic components, affecting the function of the kitchenware disinfection device 100 and posing a significant safety risk.

[0061] Based on this, in some embodiments of this application, the bottom cover 105 is provided with a drain outlet 1051 communicating with the installation space 103, and the drain outlet 1051 is located below the communication port 1111 along the direction of gravity. In this way, water flowing into the installation space 103 from the communication port 1111 can directly enter the drain outlet 1051 and be discharged to the outside through the drain outlet 1051, thereby reducing the probability of water coming into contact with the electronic components of the installation space 103, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electronic components and improving the safety of the kitchenware disinfection device 100.

[0062] Further, please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The body 10 also includes a partition 106, which protrudes from the bottom cover 105. The end of the partition 106 facing away from the bottom cover 105 is spaced apart from the water baffle 111, thereby dividing the installation space 103 into a first space 107 and a second space 108 that are interconnected and arranged side by side. The drain outlet 1051 and the connecting outlet 1111 are both connected to the first space 107, and the air outlet 121 and the heating element 122 are both housed in the second space 108.

[0063] Understandably, the partition 106 can block water entering through the connection port 1111 within the first space 107, thereby effectively preventing the electronic components in the second space 108 from coming into contact with water, thus ensuring the normal operation of the electronic components and improving the safety of the kitchenware disinfection device 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main body 10 has a first opening 1041 that communicates with the receiving cavity 101. The kitchen utensil sterilization device 100 also includes a support member 13, which is disposed at the first opening 1041 and connected to the main body 10 for placing kitchen utensils.

[0065] Specifically, the support member 13 has a knife groove that communicates with the receiving cavity 101, allowing the cutting edge of the knife to extend into it. In this way, a dedicated knife groove is provided on the support member 13 for the knife. When sterilizing the knife, the knife is inserted into the knife groove, and the knife can then extend into the receiving cavity 101 from the knife groove. The knife can be sterilized and disinfected by the high-temperature airflow flowing into the receiving cavity 101.

[0066] The support member 13 has a cutting board groove communicating with the receiving cavity 101, allowing the cutting board to extend into it. Thus, a dedicated cutting board groove is provided on the support member 13. When sterilizing the cutting board, it is inserted into the cutting board groove, allowing it to extend into the receiving cavity 101. The cutting board is then sterilized by the high-temperature airflow flowing into the receiving cavity 101. The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification.

[0067] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
