Here, the heater 104 and the fan 105 may be operated at the same time or may be stopped at the same time. For example, when heat is generated from the heater 104 in the accommodation space 101d, the fan 105 may flow air heated by the heater 104. The heated air may be flowed by the fan 105 and guided from the accommodation space 101d to the insertion space 101a through the connection opening 101e. For this reason, while the kitchen utensils are inserted into the insertion space 101a through the insertion opening 101b, the heated air can flow into the insertion space 101a to dry the kitchen utensils.

In addition, when the heater 104 and the fan 105 are continuously operated at the same time, the heated air may be continuously guided to the insertion space 101a.

That is, the sterilization element 103, the heater 104, and the fan 105 can be simultaneously stopped by the operation button 106 in a state of being operated at the same time.

In addition, a display lamp (not shown) may be installed near the operation button 106. Since the display lamp can be turned on only when the sterilizing element 103, the heater 104 and the fan 105 are operated, the sterilizing element 103, the heater 104 and the fan 105 are operated depending on whether or not it is lit. It can be used to check whether or not.

On the other hand, when the cover 102 is spaced apart from the front part of the body 101 to open the insertion space 101a, the sterilization element 103, the heater 104, and the fan 105 can be stopped in the operated state. In addition, even if the operation button 106 is operated, it can be maintained in a stopped state. Due to this, in a state in which the insertion space 101a is open, ultraviolet rays and heat may not be exposed to the external space of the insertion space 101a and a person located in the external space, so that there is a risk of a safety accident due to ultraviolet rays and heat. It can be prevented in advance. That is, the kitchen tool sterilizer 100 of this embodiment can be safely operated.

In addition, a detection sensor (not shown) for sensing the distance between the cover 102 and the body 101 may be installed on the body 101. When the detection sensor detects the distance between the cover 102 and the body 101 above a set value, the sterilization element 103, the heater 104 and the fan 105 may be stopped.

The kitchen tool sterilizer 100 of this embodiment may include a body 101 and a cover 102. An insertion space 101a is formed in a concave front of the body 101, and a plurality of insertion openings 101b are formed on the upper surface of the body 101 to be connected to the insertion space 101a. In addition, the cover 102 may be coupled to the body 101 to close the insertion space (101a). The kitchen utensils can be inserted into the insertion space 101a through the insertion opening 101b after being washed. Here, the sterilization element 103 may sterilize the kitchen utensils inserted in the insertion space 101a by irradiating ultraviolet rays to the insertion space 101a. In addition, the heater 104 generates heat and the fan 105 guides air heated by the heat to the insertion space 101a, thereby drying kitchen utensils inserted in the insertion space 101a. Accordingly, the kitchen utensil sterilizer 100 of the present embodiment can easily sterilize and dry kitchen utensils while only a part of the cleaned utensils are inserted.
