When the front cover 13 needs to be closed to accommodate the cavity 111, the front cover 13 is located in the first sliding groove 151, the front cover 13 is attached to the surface of the accommodating cavity 111, the door body can save space along the thickness direction, in addition, when the front cover 13 is opened to accommodate the cavity 111, the front cover 13 can be hidden in the second sliding groove 152, the occupation space of the front cover 13 in the thickness of the door body is avoided, the working process of the sterilizer is also avoided, and the front cover 13 is bent, touched, abraded and the like due to unnecessary factors.

In some embodiments, the front cover 13 includes a first rotating shaft 131 and a second rotating shaft 132, and the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are respectively located at two ends of the front cover 13 along the moving direction of the front cover 13 and slide in the sliding slot 15.

The front cover 13 includes a first rotating shaft 131 and a second rotating shaft 132, and specifically, the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are parallel and disposed at opposite ends of the front cover 13. That is, the opposite ends of the front cover 13 mean that the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are respectively provided at both ends of the front cover 13 extending in the moving direction. The first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are perpendicular to the first sliding chute 151 and the second sliding chute 152, that is, the axial directions of the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are perpendicular to the moving direction of the front cover 13. The lengths of the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are greater than the length of the side of the front cover 13 where the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 are located. Therefore, the portions of the first rotating shaft 131 and the second rotating shaft 132 protruding from the front cover 13 are located in the sliding slot 15 and can slide in the sliding slot 15.

When the two first sliding grooves 151 are disposed on the left and right of the accommodating chamber 111, the front cover 13 moves up and down by pushing and pulling regardless of whether the two second sliding grooves 152 are disposed above or below the accommodating chamber 111. When the two first sliding grooves 151 are disposed above and below the accommodating chamber 111, the front cover 13 is pushed and pulled right and left regardless of whether the two first sliding grooves 151 are disposed right or left of the accommodating chamber 111. In the present embodiment, the two first sliding grooves 151 are disposed at the left and right of the accommodating chamber 111, the two second sliding grooves 152 are disposed above the accommodating chamber 111, and the front cover 13 is pushed and pulled upward by the opening of the accommodating chamber 111 to open the accommodating chamber 111.

Since it is necessary to open or close the receiving cavity 111 of the supporting member 11 through the front cover 13, in cooperation with the switch 14, the switch 14 transmits a signal to the control board, which controls the on and off of the sterilizer 12. When the front cover 13 closes the receiving cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, in order to prevent the front cover 13 from being opened by non-manual force to open the sterilizer 12, unnecessary activation of the sterilizer 12 or food juice in the refrigerator is sprayed on the sterilizer 12 or the switch 14 to cause contamination damage. Or when the front cover 13 opens the accommodating cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, the sterilizer 12 is not stopped due to non-manual closing of the front cover 13, which may result in incomplete sterilization of the food or article. Thus, in some embodiments, a fastener may be provided in the chute 15. The fixing mode of the fixing piece can comprise magnetic attraction, clamping and connecting modes of a buckle and the like. Specifically, a first fixing member is disposed in the first sliding groove 151, and the first fixing member is located at one end of the first sliding groove 151 far away from the second sliding groove 152; a second fixing member is disposed in the second sliding groove 152, and the second fixing member is located at an end of the second sliding groove 152 far away from the first sliding groove 151. A third fixing member is provided at an end portion of the front cover 13 where the first rotation shaft 131 is provided, and a fourth fixing member is provided at an end portion of the front cover 13 where the second rotation shaft 132 is provided.

When the front cover 13 closes the accommodating cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, the third fixing member of the front cover 13 is combined with the first fixing member of the first sliding groove 151, so that the front cover 13 is fixed at the opening of the accommodating cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, and the sterilizer 12 is prevented from being opened by opening the front cover 13 under the action of non-manual external force. When the front cover 13 opens the accommodating cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, the fourth fixing member of the front cover 13 is combined with the second fixing member of the second sliding groove 152 to fix the front cover 13 in the second sliding groove 152, thereby preventing the non-manual factor from closing the front cover 13 and closing the sterilizer 12. When the fixing mode of the fixing piece is magnetic attraction, the fixing piece can be a magnet, wherein the magnet can be a permanent magnet or can generate magnetic force through electromagnetic induction. When the fixing member generates a magnetic force by electromagnetic induction, the fixing member may be connected with the control board. Specifically, after the fourth fixing element of the front cover 13 is attracted to the second fixing element of the second chute 152, the second fixing element of the second chute 152 may transmit an attraction signal to the control panel, and the control panel may control the sterilizer 12 to start according to the attraction signal. After the third fixing member of the front cover 13 is attached to the first fixing member of the first sliding groove 151, the first fixing member of the first sliding groove 151 may transmit the suction signal to the control panel, and the control panel may control the sterilizer 12 to be closed according to the suction signal.

When the fixing manner of the fixing member is a snap-fit connection, in some embodiments, a first locking protrusion 153 is disposed in the first sliding groove 151, the first locking protrusion 153 is a first fixing member, and the first locking protrusion 153 is located at one end of the first sliding groove 151 far away from the second sliding groove 152; a second locking protrusion 154 is disposed in the second sliding groove 152, the second locking protrusion 154 is a second fixing member, and the second locking protrusion 154 is located at an end of the second sliding groove 152 far away from the first sliding groove 151. The first shaft 131 is a third fixing member, and the second shaft 132 is a fourth fixing member. The first rotation shaft 131 is engaged with the first catching protrusion 153 to prevent the front cover 13 from sliding when the front cover 13 closes the accommodating chamber 111; the second rotation shaft 132 is engaged with the second locking protrusion 154 to prevent the front cover 13 from sliding when the front cover 13 opens the accommodating chamber 111.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first and second catching protrusions 153 and 154 protrude from the first and second sliding grooves 151 and 152, respectively. As shown in fig. 2, a cross-sectional view of the sterilization device 10 when closed. When the front cover 13 closes the accommodating cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, the first rotating shaft 131 is engaged with the first locking protrusion 153, and since the first locking protrusion 153 protrudes out of the first sliding groove 151, the first locking protrusion 153 blocks the first rotating shaft 131 so that the first rotating shaft 131 cannot move upwards, thereby further preventing the front cover 13 from moving upwards. As shown in fig. 3, a cross-sectional view of the sterilizer 10 is shown. When the front cover 13 needs to be pushed open to open the accommodating cavity 111 of the supporting member 11, an external force is applied to the front cover 13, so that the first rotating shaft 131 of the front cover 13 can be elastically deformed, and thus, the first rotating shaft moves upwards along the first sliding groove 151 beyond the first locking protrusion 153. The front cover 13 starts to slide from the first sliding slot 151 to the second sliding slot 152, and when the second rotating shaft 132 of the front cover 13 contacts the second locking protrusion 154 of the second sliding slot 152, the second locking protrusion 154 protrudes out of the second sliding slot 152, so that an external force is applied to the front cover 13, as shown in fig. 4, which is a cross-sectional view of the sterilization device 10 during operation. The second rotating shaft 132 of the front cover 13 is elastically deformed, and the second locking protrusion 154 protrudes out of the second sliding groove 152 beyond the second locking protrusion 154, so that the second rotating shaft 132 is prevented from moving downwards, and the front cover 13 can be fixed in the second sliding groove 152 without falling off and closing the accommodating cavity 111. When the front cover 13 needs to be closed, the working process and the principle are the same. Keep protecgulum 13 motionless in the position under open mode or closed condition through protruding and the pivot complex mode of card, protecgulum 13 is fixed to the protruding and the mode of pivot of leading to card of this disclosure, simple structure, easy operation to can open or close according to user's the demand of disinfecting, it is more convenient and free to operate.
