본 발명은 살균기능이 구비된 칫솔에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 소독기구를 별도로 구비하지 않고 칫솔 자체만으로 살균기능이 수행될 뿐만 아니라 자외선램프로부터 발광된 자외선이 칫솔모측에 정확하게 조사되어 살균성이 향상된 살균기능이 구비된 칫솔에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a toothbrush having a sterilization function, and more particularly, the sterilization function is performed by the toothbrush itself without having a disinfection mechanism separately, and the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet lamp are precisely irradiated to the bristles to improve sterilization. It relates to a toothbrush equipped with a sterilization function.

일반적으로 구강 내부와 치아의 청결을 유지하기 위해 치실, 구강청결제 등 많은 종류의 위생도구가 사용되고 있으나 가장 대중적으로 사용되는 것은 칫솔이다.Generally, many kinds of hygiene tools such as dental floss and mouthwashes are used to keep the oral cavity and teeth clean, but the most popular one is a toothbrush.

이와 같이 사용자가 많고 사용층이 넓은 칫솔은 사용자의 연령이나 치아상태 에 따라 다양한 종류의 것이 사용되고 있으나 양치질을 한 이후 칫솔에는 각종 세균이 잔존하여 치아건강을 해치게 되므로 이를 제거하기 위한 소독이 필요하게 된다.Toothbrushes with a large number of users and a wide range of users are used according to the user's age and tooth condition. However, after brushing the teeth, various kinds of bacteria remain in the toothbrush, which deteriorates dental health. .

따라서 칫솔을 소독하기 위해 약품을 이용하거나 소독기구가 이용되고 있으나 별도로 구매하여 사용하여야 하므로 매우 불편하고 비용부담이 증가되는 문제점이 있었다.Therefore, to disinfect the toothbrush or using a disinfecting device is used, but there is a problem that is very inconvenient and cost increases because it must be purchased separately.

이에 따라 최근에는 칫솔 자체에 살균장치가 구성되어 편리하게 사용할 수 있도록 한 칫솔이 발명되고 있는데, 예컨대 대한민국 실용신안등록 출원번호 제20-2003-0001664호에 따르면 코인형 배터리를 전원으로 하여 발광되는 자외선램프가 구성되어 스위치의 조작에 따라 발광되는 자외선에 의해 자체적으로 살균기능이 수행되도록 하였다.Accordingly, in recent years, a toothbrush has been invented so that the sterilization device is configured on the toothbrush itself, for example. The lamp is configured so that the sterilization function is performed by the ultraviolet light emitted by the operation of the switch.

그러나 상기와 같은 종래 살균칫솔은 자외선이 조사되는 자외선램프로부터 살균이 이루어지는 칫솔모와의 이격거리가 커서 살균효율이 저하되고, 또한 살균과정이 자외선램프로부터 발광되는 빛을 직접 이용하는 것이므로 원거리에서 조사되는 자외선에 의해 눈부심이 발생되는 문제점이 있었다.However, the conventional sterilization toothbrush as described above has a large distance from the UV lamp irradiated with the bristles to be sterilized, so that the sterilization efficiency is reduced, and since the sterilization process directly uses the light emitted from the ultraviolet lamp, the ultraviolet light is irradiated from a long distance. There was a problem that caused the glare.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 그 목적은 자외선램프로부터 발광된 자외선이 광섬유를 매개로 칫솔모측에 정확하게 조사되어 살균효율이 향상되고 사용상에 편의성이 향상도록 한 살균기능이 구비된 칫솔을 제공하고자 하는 것이다.The present invention is to solve the above problems, the object of which is that the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet lamp is accurately irradiated to the side of the brush head through the optical fiber medium sterilization efficiency is improved and the convenience for use is provided with To provide a toothbrush.

첨부도면 도 1a는 본 고안의 제1실시예에 따른 살균기능이 구비된 칫솔을 나타내는 개략적인 사시도, 도 1b는 본 고안의 제1실시예에 따른 살균기능이 구비된 칫솔의 변형예를 나타내는 도면으로서, 이에 도시된 바와 제1실시예에 따른 살균기능이 구비된 칫솔은, 칫솔모가 식모되는 투명 재질의 헤드부(11)와, 사용자가 파지하는 손잡이부(12)와, 상기 손잡이부(12)의 내부에 설치되는 전원부(13) 및 스위치 부(14)와, 상기 스위치부(14)의 입력동작에 따라 전원부(13)로부터 인가되는 전원에 의해 발광되는 자외선램프(15)와, 상기 자외선램프(15)에 일단이 근접 위치되고 타단이 헤드부(11)에 위치되어 칫솔모(19)측으로 자외선램프(15)로부터 발광되는 자외선을 전달, 조사시키는 다수의 광섬유(17)로 구성된다.1A is a schematic perspective view of a toothbrush having a sterilization function according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a view showing a modification of the toothbrush having a sterilization function according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown therein, the toothbrush having a sterilizing function according to the first embodiment includes a head portion 11 of a transparent material into which bristles are implanted, a handle portion 12 held by a user, and the handle portion 12. ), The power supply unit 13 and the switch unit 14 installed inside the, an ultraviolet lamp 15 that is emitted by the power applied from the power supply unit 13 according to the input operation of the switch unit 14, and the ultraviolet light One end is located close to the lamp 15 and the other end is located in the head portion 11 is composed of a plurality of optical fibers 17 for transmitting and irradiating the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet lamp 15 to the bristles 19 side.

상기 전원부(13)는 예컨대 코인형 배터리로 구성되고, 또한 상기 전원부(13), 스위치부(14) 및 자외선램프(15)는 단일의 모듈 형태로 구성되어 손잡이부(12)의 내부에 형성된 설치홈(미도시)상에 간편하게 설치된다.The power supply unit 13 is formed of, for example, a coin-type battery, and the power supply unit 13, the switch unit 14, and the ultraviolet lamp 15 are configured in a single module form and are formed inside the handle unit 12. It is easily installed on the groove (not shown).

그리고, 상기 자외선램프(15)와 광섬유(17)의 묶음이 접하는 부분에는 접속구(18)가 구비되어 대응되는 자외선램프(15)와 광섬유(17)의 단부가 서로 끼워져 접속된다.In addition, a connection port 18 is provided at a portion where the bundle of the ultraviolet lamp 15 and the optical fiber 17 come into contact with each other so that the corresponding ends of the ultraviolet lamp 15 and the optical fiber 17 are fitted to each other.

바람직하게 상기 접속구의 내부에는 도 1a의 확대부에 나타난 바와 같이 여러 가지 색상이 형성된 색채판(18a)이 삽입되어 자외선램프(15)로부터 인가되어 광섬유(17)를 매개로 칫솔모(19)측으로 조사되는 빛이 다양한 색상으로 표현되도록 된다.Preferably, as shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 1A, a color plate 18a having various colors is inserted into the connection port and applied from the ultraviolet lamp 15 to irradiate the bristles 19 through the optical fiber 17. The light is expressed in various colors.

또한 상기 광섬유(17)는 통상적인 구조를 갖는 것으로 내부 중심에 유리재질 등으로 형성된 코어(core;17a)와 그 외주면에 덮혀지는 클래딩층(cladding;17b)으로 구성된다.In addition, the optical fiber 17 has a conventional structure and is composed of a core 17a formed of a glass material at an inner center thereof and a cladding layer 17b covered on an outer circumferential surface thereof.

그리고 도 1b의 확대부 B(확대부 B는 다수의 광섬유 중 한 가닥을 확대한 것임)에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 칫솔모(19)측으로 내장된 광섬유(17)의 외주상에 해당되는 클래딩층(17b)에 일정한 간격으로 자외선이 노출되는 빛 방사용 노출홈 (17c)이 형성되어 광섬유(17)가 경유되는 칫솔몸체의 외부로 자외선이 노출되도록 구성된다.And the cladding layer 17b corresponding to the outer circumference of the optical fiber 17 embedded in the bristle 19 side, as shown in the enlarged portion B (enlarged portion B is enlarged one strand of a plurality of optical fibers) of FIG. ) Is formed so that the light emitting exposure groove (17c) is exposed to the ultraviolet rays at regular intervals to expose the ultraviolet rays to the outside of the toothbrush body via the optical fiber (17).

이와 같이 광섬유(17)상에 빛 방사용 노출홈(17c)이 일정한 간격으로 형성된 경우 자외선이 칫솔몸체를 통해 일정한 간격으로 노출되면서 방사되는 자외선 빛에 의해 외관이 화려하게 되어 상품성이 향상되고, 이와 동시에 칫솔몸체 주변 부분의 살균기능이 수행되는 장점이 있다.As such, when the light emitting exposure grooves 17c are formed at regular intervals on the optical fiber 17, the appearance is enhanced by the ultraviolet light emitted while the ultraviolet rays are exposed at regular intervals through the toothbrush body, thereby improving the productability. At the same time, there is an advantage that the sterilization function is performed around the toothbrush body.

한편, 상기 광섬유(17)의 외주면상에는 은, 금, 이산화티타늄, 탄소, 진주분말과 같은 항균성 미세분말(바람직하게는 나노분말)을 코팅시켜 항균성을 배가시킬 수 있다.On the other hand, on the outer circumferential surface of the optical fiber 17 may be coated with antimicrobial micropowder (preferably nano powder), such as silver, gold, titanium dioxide, carbon, pearl powder can double the antimicrobial.

첨부도면 도 2a 및 도 2b는 본 고안에 따른 광섬유가 헤드부측에 설치된 상태를 나타내는 개략적인 단면도로서, 먼저 도 2a에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 광섬유(17)들은 칫솔모(19)의 하측에 해당되는 헤드부(11)상에 일정한 간격으로 배치된다.2A and 2B are schematic cross-sectional views showing a state in which the optical fiber according to the present invention is installed on the head side. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the optical fibers 17 are heads corresponding to the lower side of the bristles 19. It is arranged on the part 11 at regular intervals.
