Abstract: The present invention relates to a container for storing and sterilizing a chopping board which mainly comprises a case, a scattering plate, a sterilizing lamp, a screen cover, a water collecting box, a supporting plate, a microswitch, a compression spring, a holding plate, a heating element and a bottom plate. The weight of the chopping board forces the supporting plate to contact the microswitch which in turn actuates both the sterilizing lamp and the heating element such that the ultraviolet light generated by the lamp together with the heat produced by the heating element can be scattered by the scattering plate to improve both sterilizing and drying efficacy. In addition, the present container has a compact overall volume and can be easily assembled because the utilized elements are simplified and the number of elements are significantly reduced.

Abstract: A container in which a kitchen-use chopping board can be stored and sterilized, comprises a hollow casing having a fixed casing body and a movable casing body. A holding plate, a water collecting case, a micro-switch, a circulation fan, a sterilizing/heating lamp, a net cover and other fittings are mounted in the casing. At the time when the chopping board is being placed on the holding plate, it will be caused to descend and touch with the micro-switch to further activate the functioning of the circulation fan and the heating lamp, so as to improve the sanitary condition of the chopping board.
