Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a sterilization storage device, and particularly to a sterilization storage device that stores kitchen knives and other kitchen utensils and sterilizes them while being stored.

BACKGROUND ART In restaurants and the like, sterilization storage devices are used to store and sterilize kitchen utensils such as knives.

This type of sterilization storage device that has been used conventionally has a box-shaped housing with an openable/closable door, and is equipped with a shelf board that divides the internal space of the housing into upper and lower sections. A sterilizing lamp with its light emitting part exposed in the lower space is attached to the inner surface of the housing, and the knife or the like to be stored and sterilized is supported by the shelf by inserting the blade into the groove of the shelf.

However, in a sterilization storage device with such a configuration, the blade part of the knife, etc. supported by the shelf board in the housing is located in the lower space, and the handle part is located in the upper space, so that the knife, etc. The blades of knives, etc., are sufficiently sterilized by the light from the sterilizing lamp whose light-emitting part is exposed in the lower space, but this light rays do not reach the handle of the knife, etc. located at the top of the shelf. Therefore, sterilization of this part of the handle has not been sufficiently carried out.

In addition, the structure of conventional sterilization storage devices is relatively complex;
Therefore, it is expensive.

For these reasons, when kitchen utensils such as knives are stored, the entirety can be easily and completely sterilized.
It is desired to develop a sterilization storage device that has a simple structure and is inexpensive.

This idea was created in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily and reliably sterilize the entire knife, etc. supported within the housing, has a simple structure, and is therefore inexpensive. The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization storage device.

In response to this purpose, the sterilization storage device of this invention includes a cylindrical casing, a shelf plate removably supported within the casing at a position that divides the space inside the casing, and a shelf board mounted inside the casing. The device is characterized by comprising a germicidal lamp whose light emitting part is positioned over a plurality of spaces divided into sections, and a door body that can open and close the opening of the casing.

The details of this invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment.

In FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, 1 is a sterilization storage device.

The sterilization storage device 1 has a housing 2 .

The housing 2 has a front wall 3, a back wall 4, a left wall 5, and a right wall 6.
Although it has a box shape having a bottom wall 7 and a bottom wall 7, the upper part of the front face, that is, the upper part 8 and the upper end face 9 of the front face part 3 are open.

A shelf board 11 is located within the housing 2.

The shelf board 11 is placed on a shelf board support 12 fixed to the inner surface of the casing 2 and can be removed from the casing 2.

The shelf board 11 is positioned horizontally and divides the internal space of the housing 2 into an upper space 13 and a lower space 14.

As shown in FIG. 5, the shelf board 11 is a plate-like body, and an insertion hole 15 is formed in the center along the longitudinal direction.

This insertion hole 15 allows the blade of a kitchen knife to pass through, but the handle has dimensions that do not allow it to pass through, and supports the knife, etc.

However, when the object to be supported is something other than a kitchen knife, the insertion hole 15 has a shape and size necessary to separately support each object into upper and lower parts.

Further, the shelf board has a notch 16 formed on the side surface opposite to the right side surface of the housing.

This notch 16 is for avoiding interference with a germicidal lamp, which will be described later, and therefore has a size that allows the germicidal lamp to be inserted therethrough.

A sterilizing lamp support 17 is fixed to the inner surface of the right side wall 6 of the housing 2, and a sterilizing lamp 18 is supported on this sterilizing lamp support 17.

The sterilizing lamp 18 passes through the notch 16 of the shelf board 11 and attaches to the shelf board 1.
Therefore, the light emitting portion is exposed in both the upper space 13 and the lower space 14 within the housing 2 .

The open upper front part 8 and upper end surface 9 of the housing 2 are the doors 19.
It can be opened and closed by

The door 19 has an upper plate 21 and a lower plate 22, as shown in FIG.
are connected via a hinge 23.

The upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 are rotatable via a hinge 23, and can be positioned in the same plane with each other, as shown by the solid line in FIG. They can also be bent and positioned at right angles to each other, as shown in the figure.

The width W of the door 19 is approximately equal to the width of the opening of the housing 2,
The dimensions are such that the openings 8 and 9 of the casing 2 can be closed, and the dimensions are such that it can be stored inside the casing.

The height h of the upper plate 21 is approximately equal to the width of the upper end surface 9, and the height N of the lower plate 22 is approximately equal to or slightly higher than the height of the front upper part 8.

The door 19 can be moved in and out of the housing 2 by moving parallel to the front wall of the housing 2 along a guide 24 provided inside the housing. As shown in FIG. 2, it is slid and stored inside the front wall 3 of the casing 2, and when the openings 8 and 9 of the casing 2 are to be closed, it is pulled out from the casing and removed from the casing. The upper plate 21 is placed on the guide 25 provided inside the upper end of the body 2 to close the upper end surface 9, and
A lower plate 22 that is perpendicular to this closes the upper front surface of the housing 2.

Note that a handle 26 for operation is provided at the tip of the upper plate 21.

In the sterilization storage device 1 configured as described above, when storing and sterilizing a knife or the like, the door 19 is opened, the knife 27 or the like is inserted into the insertion hole 15 of the shelf board 11, and supported as shown in FIG. Close door 19 again.

Next, when sterilizing the stored knives, etc., use the sterilization lamp 1.
8 lights up and emits light.

The light emitting part of the germicidal lamp 18 passes through the shelf board 11 and is exposed to the upper space 13 and lower space 14 of the housing 2, so that it is located between the handle 28 of the knife located in the upper space 13 and the lower space 14. Both blade parts 29 can be sterilized.

In this way, according to this invention, the entire kitchen utensil such as a kitchen knife stored in the housing 2 can be easily sterilized.

Moreover, since light is emitted to the upper space 13 and the lower space 14 by the same germicidal lamp 18, there is no need to attach separate germicidal lamps to each space, and the structure is simple and the price is extremely low.
