[0025] Example 1 See Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a drying system 1 for a baby bottle washing machine, including an inner liner 11, at least one shelf 12 and at least one partition 13 disposed inside the inner liner 11. The inner liner 11 has a washing chamber 111 with a front opening inside. The at least one shelf 12 is disposed inside the washing chamber 111 and can be placed on the various parts of the baby bottle. The at least one partition 13 is disposed inside the washing chamber 111 and located below the shelf 12. The partition 13 has an air inlet chamber inside and has a plurality of air outlets 131 communicating with the air inlet chamber, and the plurality of air outlets 131 correspond one-to-one with the various parts of the baby bottle.

[0026] In addition, it includes at least one air supply assembly 14, which is disposed on the back of the inner liner 11 and includes an air supply element 141, an air supply duct 142, and a heating element 143. The air supply element 141 is connected to the air inlet end of the air supply duct 142, and the air outlet end of the air supply duct 142 is connected to the air inlet cavity of the partition 13. The heating element 143 is disposed inside the air supply duct 142. Under the action of the air supply element 141, external air can enter into the air supply duct 142 and be heated by the heating element 143 to form hot air. The hot air then enters the air inlet cavity of the partition 13 and is discharged through several air outlets 131 to dry each part of the bottle.

[0027] Therefore, by setting several air outlets 131 on the partition 13, with each air outlet 131 corresponding to a component of the bottle, when hot air is blown out through the air outlets 131, the hot air can better contact the components of the bottle, resulting in better drying effect, greatly saving drying time and improving drying efficiency.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the components of the baby bottle include a bottle cap, a nipple, a sealing ring, and a bottle body, and each component is placed on the shelf 12 with its opening facing downwards.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, the number of shelves 12, partitions 13 and air supply components 14 are all corresponding and there are two sets of each. The two shelves 12 and the two partitions 13 are arranged vertically and horizontally, thereby forming two layers of space arranged vertically and horizontally in the washing chamber 111. The upper space is used to place smaller parts such as nipples and sealing rings, and the lower space is used to place larger parts such as bottle bodies and bottle caps. The two air supply components 14 are also arranged vertically and horizontally and supply air to the two partitions 13 respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the air supply element 141 is a volute fan, and the heating element 143 is a PTC heating element. Of course, in other embodiments, the air supply element 141 may also be a motor with fan blades, and the heating element 143 may also be a heating wire; there are no limitations on these aspects here.

[0031] In other embodiments, only one set of air supply components 14 can be provided. The air supply pipe 142 can be branched at the end to connect to the two partitions 13 respectively, and air supply to the two partitions 13 can be achieved. There are no restrictions on this.

[0032] See Figure 5 The inner tank 11 is also provided with a water tank 112, which is located at the bottom of the washing chamber 111; a heating element 15 is installed in the water tank 112; under the action of the heating element 15, the water in the water tank 112 can be heated to form steam.

[0033] Therefore, before washing begins, the steam generated in the water tank 112 can be blown onto the various parts of the baby bottle to soften the milk stains, making it easier to remove them during washing. It can also remove odors from the washing chamber 111. In addition, after the baby bottle is washed, the steam generated in the water tank 112 can steam sterilize the various parts of the baby bottle placed on the shelf 12.

[0034] See Figure 5-7 It also includes a hot water exchange tank 16 located on the outer side of the inner tank 11. The hot water exchange tank 16 has heat exchange pipes inside, and the inner tank 11 has air outlets 113 that connect to the washing chamber 111 and the heat exchange pipes respectively. The hot water exchange tank 16 is equipped with an independent U-shaped heat exchange tube 17, and the interior of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 17 forms a heat exchange pipe. One end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 17 has an air inlet 171 on its side, which connects to the air outlet 113; the other end of the U-shaped heat exchange tube 17 has an air outlet 172 at its top.

[0035] Therefore, by setting up a heat exchange pipe in the hot water tank 16 and connecting the heat exchange pipe to the air outlet 113 of the inner tank 11, when the baby bottle is cleaned and sterilized, since there is a large amount of high-temperature water vapor in the washing chamber 111, when hot air drying is performed, the hot air will carry the high-temperature water vapor out from the air outlet 113 of the inner tank 11 and then enter the heat exchange pipe, where it will exchange heat with the water in the hot water tank 16 to achieve condensation, thereby preventing the high-temperature water vapor from being sprayed out and damaging the furniture.

[0036] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the U-shaped heat exchange tube 17 can be replaced with other shapes such as L-shaped or S-shaped heat exchange tubes, and the shape of the heat exchange tube is not limited here.

[0037] See Figure 8It also includes a water inlet pump 18, the water inlet of which is connected to the hot water exchange tank 16 via a pipe, and the water outlet of which is connected to the water tank 112 via a pipe; thus, under the action of the water inlet pump 18, it can draw water out of the hot water exchange tank 16 and transport it to the water tank 112, thereby realizing the addition of water to the water tank 112.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, the present application also provides a method for water inlet. Specifically, it also includes a water inlet connector 191 and a solenoid valve 192. The water inlet end of the water inlet connector 191 is connected to an external water pipe, and the water outlet end of the water inlet connector 191 is connected to the water tank 112 through a pipe. The solenoid valve 192 is disposed on the water inlet connector 191 and is used to open or close the water inlet connector 191.

[0039] Therefore, when the solenoid valve 192 is opened, external tap water can enter the water tank 112 through the tap water pipe, the water inlet connector 191 and the pipeline to add water.

[0040] See Figure 3 The air supply assembly 14 also includes a baffle 144, which is rotatably disposed inside the air supply duct 142. When the air supply element 141 is not activated, the baffle 144 falls back under its own weight and seals the inside of the air supply duct 142. When the air supply element 141 is activated, external air can enter the air supply duct 142 and blow up the baffle 144 to open the air supply duct 142.

[0041] Therefore, by setting a baffle 144 inside the air supply pipe 142, when the high-temperature water vapor generated in the water tank 112 flows to various parts of the baby bottle for sterilization, the baffle 144 can block the water vapor to prevent it from flowing back and damaging the heating element 143 and the air supply element 141, thereby improving the service life of the product.

[0042] Example 2 See Figure 9 The second aspect of this utility model also provides a baby bottle washing machine, including a housing 2, a door 3, and the aforementioned drying system 1 for the baby bottle washing machine.

The door 3 is rotatably disposed on the front side of the housing 2 to open or close the washing chamber 111.

[0043] In summary, the drying system 1 and the baby bottle washing machine provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects: (a) By setting several air outlets 131 on the partition 13, with each air outlet 131 corresponding to a component of the bottle, when hot air is blown out through the air outlets 131, the hot air can better contact the components of the bottle, resulting in better drying effect, greatly saving drying time and improving drying efficiency.

[0044] (ii) By installing a heat exchange pipe in the hot water tank 16 and connecting the heat exchange pipe to the air outlet 113 of the inner tank 11, when the baby bottle is cleaned and sterilized, since there is a large amount of high-temperature water vapor in the washing chamber 111, when hot air drying is performed, the hot air will carry the high-temperature water vapor out from the air outlet 113 of the inner tank 11 and then enter the heat exchange pipe, and exchange heat with the water in the hot water tank 16 to achieve condensation, thereby preventing the high-temperature water vapor from being sprayed out and damaging the furniture.

[0045] (iii) By installing a baffle 144 in the air supply pipe 142, when the high-temperature water vapor generated in the water tank 112 flows to various parts of the baby bottle for sterilization, the baffle 144 can block the water vapor to prevent it from flowing back and damaging the heating element 143 and the air supply element 141, thereby improving the service life of the product.
