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.
