Abstract
A toothbrush sterilization cabinet includes a housing, a sliding plate movable in and out of the housing, a rack rotatably mounted at the sliding plate for holding toothbrushes and/or razors, a control circuit, a hot air generator consisting of an electrical heating element and an electrical fan, an UV germicidal lamp and an ozone generator for generating hot air, UV light or ozone, and a tact switch for driving the control circuit to turn on the hot air generator, the UV germicidal lamp and/or the ozone generator for a predetermined length of time.
Claims10
A toothbrush sterilization cabinet, comprising:
- a housing;
- two sliding rails bilaterally symmetrically mounted at a bottom side inside said housing;
- a sliding plate coupled to said sliding rails and movable along said sliding rails in and out of said housing;
- a door panel hinged to said housing and biasable between an open position to open a front open side of said housing and a close position to close said front open side of said housing;
- a connection member connected between said door panel and said sliding plate for enabling said sliding plate to be moved with said door panel in and out of said housing;
- a rack detachably and rotatably mounted at said sliding plate for holding toothbrushes and/or razors;
- a control circuit mounted inside said housing;
- a hot air generator mounted inside said housing and controllable by said control circuit to generate hot air;
- an UV germicidal lamp mounted inside said housing and controllable by said control circuit to generate UV light;
- a tact switch mounted at a front side of said housing and switchable to drive said control circuit to turn on said hot air generator and UV germicidal lamp for a predetermined length of time;
- a power jack mounted outside said housing and electrically connected to said control circuit;
- and
- a power adapter adapted for electrically connecting said power jack to an external power source to provide electricity to said control circuit, said hot air generator and said UV germicidal lamp.
