Multi-functional child care storage

Abstract

A multi-functional child care storage includes a plurality of functional parts partitioned by partitions. The plurality of the functional parts include a refrigerating/heating compartment for keeping therein an infant product and/or a child care product at a proper temperature; and a sterilizing/drying compartment for sterilizing, drying and keeping the infant product and/or the child care product hygienically. The refrigerating/ heating compartment includes a thermoelectric element; a heat absorbing/radiating plate connected to the thermoelectric element, for selectively absorbing or radiating heat; and a temperature sensor for detecting an indoor temperature. The sterilizing/drying compartment includes an ultraviolet germicidal lamp for irradiating ultraviolet rays into an inner space of the sterilizing/drying compartment; and a heat radiation device for discharging hot air to dry the inner space of the sterilizing/drying compartment.

       4 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 3 , wherein the sterilizing/drying compartment has a water receptacle at an inner lower portion thereof, wherein water drops falling from the stored products are collected in the water receptacle to be discharged.  
   
   
       5 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the functional parts further include a humidifying device for controlling an indoor humidity.  
   
   
       6 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 5 , wherein the humidifying device includes: 
 a body installed therein;    a water tub on which a water container is mounted, the water container having a lid facing downward, wherein the water tub is inside the body;    a spraying chamber for communicating with the water tub, wherein an oscillator for making water into vapor is installed in the spraying chamber;    a spraying pipe and a spraying nozzle installed at an upper portion of the spraying chamber to be connected with an opening/closing door of the humidifying device; and    a blast fan installed at a lower portion of the spraying chamber, for discharging the vapor to an outside.    
   
   
       7 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 5 , wherein the humidifying device is detachably installed as a kit.  
   
   
       8 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the functional parts further include an air cleaning device for cleaning indoor air.  
   
   
       9 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 8 , wherein the air cleaning device includes: 
 an air inlet formed at one sidewall of the air cleaning device, for introducing air containing contaminants;    multiple filters installed in the air cleaning device, through which the introduced air passes to remove contaminants from the introduced air;    an air outlet formed at the other sidewall of air cleaning device, for discharging cleaned air that has passed through the multiple filters; and    a blast fan for generating an air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet.    
   
   
       10 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 8 , wherein the air cleaning device can be detached from the other functional parts.  
   
   
       11 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the functional parts have opening/closing doors in front of them.  
   
   
       12 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 11 , wherein a plurality of loading means are provided in the refrigerating/heating compartment, in the sterilizing/drying compartment, and on inner surfaces of the opening/closing doors.  
   
   
       13 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 11 , wherein the opening/closing doors can be locked.  
   
   
       14 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a manipulation panel for controlling the functional parts, wherein the manipulation panel is installed on a front surface of the storage.    
   
   
       15 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a lighting device for lighting at least at night, wherein the lighting device is installed on an outer surface of the storage.    
   
   
       16 . The multi-functional child care storage of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 moving wheels for enabling the storage to be moved easily, wherein the moving wheels are installed on a bottom surface thereof.
