Description

Baby bottle management device{TREATING APPARATUS FOR NURSING BOTTLE}

Disclosed is a baby bottle management device. In more detail, it relates to a bottle management device for washing, sterilizing, and disinfecting the bottle and the separated parts of the bottle.

In general, baby bottles are used to feed infants with milk or Mieum. The bottle is heat resistant and made of a sturdy material. And in most cases, it is clear and has high transparency. This makes it easier to observe the amount of water and the condition of the formula when taking formula for children.

The baby bottle contains a container for the liquid. And, the tap for ingesting the liquid contained in the container is combined. In addition, it includes a ring interposed between the container and the spout or a cap covering the spout.

Baby bottles are generally used for young children, and have a structure in which the contents of the container are ingested by biting the teat into the mouth. Therefore, hygiene management after use of the baby bottle is very important.

After washing, the bottle is sterilized by boiling it with boiling water. The method of eradicating the bacteria present in the baby bottle is widely used through the high heat of boiling water. Or, the bottle is sterilized with a sterilizing fluid for sterilization, and the bottle is cleaned with hot soapy water or water mixed with detergent.

As a related technology, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1456441 (hereinafter referred to as “related technology 1”) discloses a “household sterilizer combined dryer”.

Related Art 1 relates to a household sterilization dryer that sterilizes kitchen utensils or baby products. The household sterilization dryer according to related technology 1 includes a drying room in which a tray for storing objects to be stored is provided, a door for opening and closing the drying room, and a blower and electric heater for supplying heated air to the drying room.

Related technology 1 sterilizes and disinfects baby products by circulating hot air inside the drying room. However, only the circulation of hot air was insufficient to sufficiently sterilize and disinfect baby products used by infants susceptible to infection. In addition, in the case of the baby bottle, the drying of the parts where the circulation of hot air is not good, such as the inner space of the container, was delayed. In addition, there was a disadvantage that the sterilization efficiency was not high.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0115148 (hereinafter referred to as'related technology 2') discloses a'baby bottle sterilizer'.

Related technology 2 includes a body that opens and closes with a lid, a heating dish that holds water inside the body, and a heater that boils water from the bottom of the heating dish. Related technology 2 sprays steam onto the bottle to sterilize and disinfect the bottle. However, since it has a structure in which steam cannot be applied evenly to the inside and outside of the baby bottle, there is a problem that the sterilization and disinfection effect is concentrated only in the inner space of the baby bottle.

7 is a view showing a second light irradiation unit 210 provided on the inner side of the door 20 in the baby bottle management device according to an embodiment of the disclosed content, FIG. 8 is a view showing an embodiment of the disclosed content It is a view showing the direction of irradiating the light of the second light irradiation unit 210 in the feeding bottle management apparatus according to the.

In the baby bottle management apparatus according to an embodiment of the disclosure as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the second management unit 200 includes a second light irradiation unit 210 and an injection water holder 240.

First, a plurality of second light irradiation units 210 are provided on the inner side of the door 20. The second light irradiation unit 210 includes a first irradiation port 220 and a second irradiation port 230. The first irradiation apertures 220 are disposed adjacent to the outer circumference of the door 20, and the second irradiation apertures 230 are disposed inside the first irradiation apertures 220.

The first and second irradiation ports 220 and 230 each include a condensing groove 212 and a second light source 214. The condensing groove 212 is a groove recessed inward of the door 20, and its surface reflects light. A second light source 214 is provided inside the condensing groove 212. The second light source 214 may be implemented as a UV-LED. The second light source 214 irradiates light from the inner surface of the door 20 toward the receiving portion 12. The irradiated light sterilizes and disinfects the object accommodated in the storage unit 12.

By reflecting the light irradiated from the second light source 214 of the condensing groove 212 on the surface thereof, the straightness of the light is improved.

In the first irradiation port 220, the second light source 214 is inclined toward the outside of the door 20. That is, the light irradiated through the first irradiation port 220 is irradiated from the inner surface of the door 20, and is obliquely illuminated toward the outside of the door 20. In the second irradiation port 230, the second light source 214 faces downward, and the light irradiated through the second irradiation port 230 faces downward from the inner surface of the door 20.

Therefore, the light irradiated through the first irradiation port 220 can be concentrated toward the first holder 330 of the cradle 30, and the light irradiated through the second irradiation port 230 is the cradle 30 It is concentrated toward the second holder 340 of.

In order to increase sterilization and disinfection efficiency, the irradiation directions of the first and second injection ports are set differently in order to increase the sterilization and disinfection efficiency, respectively, corresponding to the positions in which the feeding bottle and the feeding bottle accessory are disposed inside the receiving part 12.
