The shelf 8 is horizontally arranged, and the design allows articles to be sterilized to be placed piece by piece, so that the capacity of the storage bin 1 is increased, and meanwhile, the articles can be conveniently tidied and taken and placed by a user.

A space is specially reserved below the shelf 8, and the space is communicated with the instantaneous evaporator 2, so that steam can be enabled to rise to the upper side of the shelf 8 freely and contact with the object to be disinfected. The structural design not only enables the steam to fully surround the articles and improves the disinfection efficiency, but also enables the steam distribution in the whole storage bin 1 to be more uniform.

In some cases, taking the to-be-sterilized object as the feeding bottle 01 as an example, the feeding bottle 01 is placed on the storage rack 8, and the bottle mouth of the feeding bottle 01 is arranged downwards, so that high-temperature steam can sterilize the whole positions of the outer part and the inner part of the feeding bottle 01.

In some embodiments, the shelf 8 is provided with ventilation holes penetrating up and down.

In the present embodiment, in order to further improve the drying and sterilizing efficiency of the steam sterilizing appliance, the shelf 8 is designed to have ventilation holes penetrating up and down. These vents allow free flow of steam and hot gases between the various layers of the shelf 8, ensuring that the steam is able to uniformly contact the items placed on each layer.

The design of the vent hole is also beneficial to the backflow of condensed water, so that water drops are prevented from directly dripping on the articles, water stains on the surfaces of the articles after disinfection can be reduced, and the drying process is quickened. In addition, the existence of the vent holes is also beneficial to improving the heat dissipation performance of the storage rack 8, so that heat generated in the disinfection and drying process can be dissipated more quickly, and the working efficiency of the whole disinfection apparatus is improved.

By providing the vent holes on the shelf 8, not only are the flow paths of steam and hot air optimized, but also the practicality and functionality of the sterilizing appliance are enhanced. This design allows the shelf 8 to be not just a simple item placement platform, but an important component that can facilitate the sterilization and drying process.
