Description
TECHNICAL AREA
[0001] The present application relates to the field of storage devices, in particular a disinfection and storage device. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] With increasing hygiene awareness, more and more attention is being paid to the cleaning of items that come into direct contact with the skin or oral cavity, such as cosmetic brushes and toothbrushes. Currently, cosmetic brushes are typically stored in storage boxes or bags, while toothbrushes are usually placed in cups or on simple shelves by the sink. This type of storage allows for easy storage of the items but cannot eliminate bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that may be adhering to their surfaces.
[0003] Existing storage containers for toothbrush heads primarily sterilize the brush head through irradiation with ultraviolet lamps. However, effective sterilization cannot be achieved in areas not reached by the ultraviolet light. Although the sterilization effect can be improved by an auxiliary rotating mechanism that sets the toothbrush head in motion, the structure of the brush head and the mutual shading between the brush head and bristles still leave areas that cannot be irradiated by the ultraviolet light, thus perpetuating dead zones in the sterilization process. Furthermore, ultraviolet sterilization cannot eliminate odors from microorganism metabolites (such as amines), which negatively impacts the user experience and requires further improvement. CONTENT OF THE PRESENT APPLICATION
[0004] The present application is based on the task of providing a disinfection and storage device to solve the problem that existing storage devices with disinfection function only sterilize using ultraviolet light, which leads to a poorer sterilization effect and cannot eliminate odors.

[0017] The following provides a further description with reference to the attached drawings and specific examples of embodiments: Example 1
[0018] This embodiment provides a disinfection and storage device for storing and disinfecting toothbrushes.
[0019] As in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 to Fig. 6 and Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the supporting core component is a housing (1) in which several functional assemblies are integrated, including an infrared lamp assembly (2), a fan (3), a negative ion generator (4), a heating element (5), a circuit board (7), and a battery (9). The respective assemblies work synergistically together to perform the disinfection and storage functions. Simultaneously, components for operation and status indication, as well as structures to support installation and mounting, are configured on the housing (1), forming a complete disinfection and storage system.
[0020] As in Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 8 and Fig. As shown in Figure 9, the housing (1) comprises two parts: a rear shell (111) and a front shell (112), the front shell (112) being the main component for storage. A receiving chamber (101) for placing the items to be disinfected is arranged on the front shell (112), the front end of which is open. Two key functional openings are formed on a wall (102) of the receiving chamber (101): a blow-out opening (103) and an irradiation opening (104). The blow-out opening (103) serves to convey hot air and negative ions into the receiving chamber (101), and the irradiation opening (104) serves to allow ultraviolet light to pass through for disinfection.A receiving chamber (113) is arranged at the lower end of the front shell (112), and an insertion hole (109) is also formed at the lower end of the front shell (112), leading to the receiving chamber (101), the toothbrush head being inserted through the insertion hole (109) into the receiving chamber (101). A locking slot (110) is formed on a perforated wall of the insertion hole (109) at a position corresponding to the receiving chamber (113). A support frame (15) is mounted inside the receiving chamber (113), the support frame (15) having a locking tooth section (151). The locking tooth section (151) can pass through the locking slot (110) and extend into the insertion hole (109) to support the toothbrush head.
[0021] As in Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the infrared lamp assembly (2) comprises a lamp circuit board (6) and a UVC lamp (21) arranged on the lamp circuit board (6). The ultraviolet light emitted during operation of the UVC lamp (21) can pass through the irradiation opening (104) on the wall (102) of the receiving chamber (101) and shine directly into the interior of the receiving chamber (101) to perform UV disinfection of the toothbrush head. The fan (3) is located near an upper end of the rear shell (111). At the upper end of the rear shell (111), an air inlet (115) is formed at a position corresponding to the fan (3), through which outside air can enter the interior of the housing (1). Dustproof wadding is arranged on the inside of the air inlet (115) to filter dust from the incoming air. The air blown out by the fan (3) during operation first passes over the heating element (5). The heating element (5) uses a PTC heating blade.After the wind is heated to hot air by the heating element (5), it enters the receiving chamber (101) through the blowing opening (103), drying and disinfecting the toothbrush head. The negative ions generated by the negative ion generator (4), along with the wind blown by the fan (3), enter the receiving chamber (101) through the blowing opening (103) to sterilize and eliminate odors from the toothbrush head.
[0022] As in Fig. 1, Fig. 5, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the circuit board (7) is arranged inside the housing (1), and the control switch (8) is mounted on the outside of the housing (1). The infrared lamp assembly (2), the fan (3), the negative ion generator (4), the heating element (5), and the control switch (8) are each electrically connected to the circuit board (7). The user can control the starting and stopping, as well as the operating modes, of the respective functional assemblies via the circuit board (7) by actuating the control switch (8). The display screen (12) and the indicator light (13) are mounted on the circuit board (7). An observation hole (106) is provided on the housing (1) at positions corresponding to the display screen (12), and a light hole (107) is provided at positions corresponding to the indicator light (13) to facilitate the user's observation of the device's operating status.To protect the display screen (12) and the indicator light (13), and to prevent the ingress of dust, a recess (108) is provided at the positions of the observation hole (106) and the light hole (107), and a transparent cover plate (14) is mounted in the recess (108). The accumulator (9) is also located inside the housing (1). The accumulator (9) provides power to all electrical components, such as the infrared lamp assembly (2), the fan (3), the negative ion generator (4), the heating element (5), and the circuit board (7). A charging port (105) is provided on the housing (1), and a charging plug (10) is provided inside the charging port (105). An external power supply can be connected via the charging plug (10) to charge the accumulator (9). A removable rubber plug (11) is also provided in the charging port (105).When not charging, the rubber plug (11) can close the charging port (105) and provide a dustproof and waterproof function.
[0023] A control chip is arranged on the circuit board (7) which, in conjunction with the display screen (12) and the control switch (8), enables the setting of the hot air temperature, working time and working mode, for example, a cyclic drying disinfection can be carried out for 3 hours at 50 degrees Celsius, which can significantly improve the intelligence and user experience of the present application.
[0024] As in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a rotary switch (19) is arranged inside the housing (1). A cover plate (20) is mounted on the rotary switch (19). As the cover plate (20) rotates, it drives the rotary switch (19) to actuate it. The cover plate (20) has two positions: In the first position, the cover plate (20) is rotated to a position in which it covers the front opening of the receiving chamber (101), so that the receiving chamber (101) is in a closed environment to ensure the disinfection effect; in the second position, the cover plate (20) is rotated to a position in which it releases the front opening of the receiving chamber (101), at which time the device automatically switches off the UVC lamp (21) to prevent escaping ultraviolet light from harming the human body.
[0025] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 10, the disinfection and storage device further comprises a mounting plate (16) to facilitate attachment and installation. The mounting plate (16) has a mounting hole (17) and a suspension rail (18). The mounting hole (17) is used to attach the mounting plate (16) to a wall or other support, and the suspension rail (18) is used to connect it to the housing (1). Accordingly, a suspension slot (114) adapted to the suspension rail (18) is provided on the rear wall of the back shell (111). The back shell (111) can be suspended directly from the suspension rail (18) of the mounting plate (16) via the suspension slot (114), thus creating a quick and easy connection between the housing (1) and the mounting plate (16), enabling convenient and stable installation.
[0026] Operating principle: After the device is started, the UVC lamp (21) first emits ultraviolet light through the irradiation opening (104) into the receiving chamber. The ultraviolet light acts directly on the surface of the toothbrush head, destroying the DNA structure of microorganisms and thus achieving UV sterilization. Simultaneously, the fan (3) and the heating element (5) operate synchronously: Ambient air is drawn in by the fan (3) and flows through the heating element (5), where it is heated to hot air. The hot air is then directed into the receiving chamber through the air outlet. The hot air accelerates the evaporation of moisture on the toothbrush head and maintains a dry environment in the chamber. During the hot air transport, the negative ions generated by the negative ion generator (4) enter the receiving chamber along with the airflow.The negative ions can penetrate areas such as the spaces between bristles and structural dead zones, which are difficult for ultraviolet light to reach, and, through their charge effect, destroy the cell membranes of any remaining microorganisms, thus killing them. Simultaneously, the negative ions react with odor molecules in the room, breaking their chemical bonds and converting them into odorless, smaller molecules. They can also adsorb odor particles in the air and carry them away from the recording chamber with the hot air stream. Under the synergistic effect of ultraviolet light, hot air, and negative ions, highly efficient sterilization, supplementary sterilization in dead zones, drying to inhibit bacteria, and odor removal of the objects recorded in the recording chamber (101) are achieved. Example 2
[0027] This embodiment provides a disinfection and storage device that serves to store items such as toothbrushes and cosmetic brushes and can perform sterilization and disinfection of the stored items, so that the present application can be used as a toothbrush storage box or cosmetic brush storage box.
[0028] The main difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the difference in the housing (1) and the storage structure. As in Fig. 11 and Fig.As shown in Figure 12, the housing (1) in this embodiment comprises a base housing (121), a first half-shell (116), a second half-shell (117), and a hemispherical housing (118). The housing (1) is cylindrical overall. The first half-shell (116) and the second half-shell (117) are each formed as arcuate plates, the corresponding central angle of which is 180 degrees, although it may also be slightly greater than 180 degrees. The inner diameter of the second half-shell (117) corresponds to the outer diameter of the first half-shell (116). The hemispherical housing (118) is arranged on the upper side of the first half-shell (116), and a lower opening of the hemispherical housing (118) is provided with a circular closure plate (120). The blow-out opening (103) and the irradiation opening (104) are both arranged on the circular closure plate (120). The first half-shell (116) is fixedly arranged on the base housing (121).On the base housing (121), an annular groove (119) adapted to the second half-shell (117) is arranged on an outer surface of the first half-shell (116). The lower end of the second half-shell (117) is arranged in the annular groove (119). The second half-shell (117) is rotatable along the annular groove (119) and can be rotated into a relatively closed position in which it abuts the side edges of the first half-shell (116) but does not seal. At this point, the first half-shell (116) and the second half-shell (117) enclose the receiving space (101). A receiving tray (122) is arranged on the base housing (121) and is located in the receiving space (101). The receiving tray (122) has at least one receiving groove (123) in which objects such as toothbrushes and cosmetic brushes are placed.The second half-shell (117) can also be rotated into a semi-open position, in which the receiving chamber (101) is partially open, or into a position in which it completely encloses the first half-shell (116), so that the receiving chamber (101) is fully open, which is used for placing and removing items such as toothbrushes and cosmetic brushes.
