Description

Cutting board sterilizer dryer {Sterilizing drier for chopping board}

The present invention relates to a cutting board sterilizing dryer, and more particularly, to a cutting board sterilizing dryer configured to automatically cut in and out of the cutting board.

Currently, in general restaurants and homes, the awareness of hygiene problems is increasing, so the cleanliness of the tableware is important, and after washing the tableware, the dish dryer is used to remove the moisture.

On the other hand, the knife and cutting board used to make food are left on the knife and cutting board with food ingredients residues from preparing food ingredients such as seafood, agricultural products, and livestock products. After using knife and cutting board, heat sterilization with hot water and drying it in the sun should be used for sun sterilization. However, this sterilization and washing process is very troublesome, so it is not done properly and washes knife and cutting board roughly once with detergent and water. Will be stored afterwards.

In this case, various unsterilized bacteria remain on the knife and cutting board, and if the knife and cutting board are reused, there is a possibility that hygiene problems such as food poisoning may occur when the cooked food is consumed by the bacteria.

Therefore, in order to ensure the sterilization of the knife and cutting board, and to reduce the hassle of sterilizing and cleaning, a knife and cutting board combined sterilizer for automatic UV sterilization and hot air drying has been released. This knife and cutting board combined sterilizer is composed of heater, blower, blower duct and ultraviolet lamp. It sterilizes knife and cutting board with ultraviolet lamp and blows the heater's heat with blower duct to dry with hot air. 2000-0000795 (Knife, Cutting Board UV Sterilization Dryer) is disclosed, which requires front space opening and closing doors, which requires invalid space for opening and closing doors, and large size due to the installation structure for knife and cutting board. Therefore, a certain installation space is required.

Therefore, Korea Utility Model 20-0416024 (Ultraviolet knife, cutting board sterilizer) is a mounting type attached to the kitchen counter top under the showcase to minimize the installation space. There is no opening and closing door. It is configured to sterilize using a timer by inserting into the knife entrance and cutting board entrance.

However, in this case, it is inconvenient because the handle is installed as a bar as disclosed for the withdrawal of the cutting board inserted into the cutting board doorway, and it is inconvenient because the user has to manually insert it carefully, and there is no opening and closing door. Although it has a bottom with multiple holes for natural drying, it does not need space for heaters, blowers and blower ducts because it is a natural drying method, so the size can be minimized. It is insufficient to achieve the original purpose of sterilization because it is not possible to prevent the contamination of bacteria during the time, and because it is a natural drying method, there is a need to frequently clean the interior even to prevent bacterial contamination inside the body.

In particular, in the case of the cutting board, fine scratches are generated by the blade, and the residues of food ingredients are attached to the scratches, and it is a hotbed of various bacteria, so it is the most vulnerable for sanitation. Natural drying of utility model 20-0416024 (ultraviolet knife, cutting board sterilizer) is not preferable, and hot air drying method of the above-mentioned Korean Utility Model Room 2000-0000795 (knife, cutting board ultraviolet sterilization dryer) is preferable.
