Description

Container drying unit

The present invention relates to a container drying apparatus, and more particularly, to a drying apparatus capable of hygienically drying bottles and containers.

Baby bottles, thermos for students, drinking water bottles for mountain climbing, and tumblers and containers that have been used for personal use have become very common items in our daily life because of their convenient use and portability. However, these containers are disadvantageous in that they are not easy to dry after use due to the nature of their structure.

Even if it is put in a dish dryer, drainage is not good. Even if it is dried upside down, hot air is condensed only by the natural law of rising, but it is not dried well and can be easily contaminated by foreign matter.

Due to the above problems, everyone is experiencing an unpleasant experience with the interior of the unborn bottle.

The milk bottle washing machine disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0527842 discloses a conventional technique in which water is stored and heated in a washing tank and the milk bottle is sterilized by heated water and an ultraviolet lamp Respectively.

However, since such a milk bottle washing machine is installed only on one side of the UV lamp, the sterilization power of the milk bottle decreases as the distance increases, and the milk bottle can be moved by the water stored therein. As a result, There is a disadvantage that the ultraviolet rays can be abruptly blocked by the adjacent milk bottle. In addition, since a large amount of water must be heated, it takes a lot of heating time and it is inconvenient to replace a large amount of water each time.
