Description

Disinfection tool and disinfection device

The present invention relates to a disinfection tool and a disinfection device for disinfecting, for example, a baby bottle that contains a beverage.

In order to give beverages such as artificial milk to infants and the like, baby bottles or the like that contain beverages and are fitted with artificial nipples or the like in openings are used.
Such baby bottles and the like need to be sterilized when used in order to contain beverages given to infants with insufficient resistance to germs and the like. Then, the disinfection apparatus for disinfecting a baby bottle conventionally is proposed (for example, patent document 1).

In such a disinfecting device, water or the like is heated by a heater or the like, and becomes steam such as water vapor or the like, and is led into the inside of the baby bottle disposed in the device. And it becomes the structure which disinfects the inside of a bottle by vapor | steam convection etc. inside a baby bottle.
Specifically, the baby bottle is arranged upside down so as to cover the cylindrical exhaust part that discharges the vapor of the disinfection device, and the support portion formed on the disinfection device with the opening side of the baby bottle abutting on the disinfection device Supports the opening of the baby bottle.
In this state, the steam discharged from the discharge part of the disinfection device convects from the bottom side in the baby bottle toward the opening side, and after the inside of the baby bottle is disinfected, it is discharged from the opening of the bottle.
Thereafter, the steam passes through between the opening of the baby bottle and the support portion and is discharged to the outside. That is, the discharged steam is discharged through a gap between the opening of the baby bottle and the support portion of the disinfection device.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-100509

However, when the steam is discharged through the gap between the opening of the baby bottle and the support part of the disinfection device, not all of the steam is discharged, but a part of it is in the form of drops, such as near the opening of the baby bottle And a “liquid reservoir” is formed.
This “liquid reservoir” has a problem that it may be heated and boiled by hot steam convection inside the baby bottle and scattered in the hot state.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a disinfection tool and a disinfection device that can suppress the occurrence of the “liquid pool” as described above and prevent the heated liquid from being scattered around.
