이동식 자외선 램프가 부착된 칫솔 살균기{Toothbrush sterilizer with moveable UV-Lamp}Toothbrush sterilizer with moveable UV-Lamp}

본 발명은 자외선 램프와 열풍건조 히터를 이용한 효과적인 칫솔 살균기에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 칫솔 살균기 내부에 이동식 자외선 램프를 장착하여 칫솔에 존재하는 유해 세균을 자외선과 하단부의 열풍건조 히터를 이용하여 효과적으로 자외선을 조사하고 습기를 건조하여 세균의 증식환경을 제거하여 살균하는 칫솔살균기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an effective toothbrush sterilizer using an ultraviolet lamp and a hot air drying heater, and more particularly, by installing a movable ultraviolet lamp inside the toothbrush sterilizer, effectively removing harmful bacteria present in the toothbrush by using ultraviolet light and a hot air drying heater at the bottom of the toothbrush. The present invention relates to a toothbrush sterilizer which sterilizes by removing ultraviolet light and drying moisture to remove germ growth environment.

기존 살균기의 유형은 자외선 램프를 천정 상부나 살균기 내부 벽면에 부착하여 자외선 조사 범위의 한계와 효율적인 살균작용 기능에 한계가 있었다. 그러나, 본 발명은 자외선의 살균효과를 극대화 할 수 있는 요인인 온도, 습도, 자외선 조사량을 마이크로 프로세서를 장착하여 온도센서(Temperature sensor), 습도센서(Humidity sensor), 오염도센서(VCOs gas sensor) 등에서 취한 데이터에 따라 이동식 자외선 램프와 열풍건조 히터를 작동시켜 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는기술이다. The existing type of sterilizer has a limitation of the UV irradiation range and the effective sterilization function by attaching an ultraviolet lamp to the ceiling or the inside wall of the sterilizer. However, the present invention is equipped with a microprocessor for temperature, humidity, ultraviolet radiation dose, which is a factor that can maximize the disinfection effect of ultraviolet rays in the temperature sensor (Temperature sensor), humidity sensor (Humidity sensor), pollution sensor (VCOs gas sensor), etc. It is a technology that can be effectively controlled by operating a portable UV lamp and hot air drying heater according to the data taken.

기존의 발명품은 자외선 램프가 고정되어 있어 자외선이 조사되지 못한 취약한 부분의 세균 오염부분을 기술적으로 해결하고, 자외선 램프나 열건조 히터의 동작시간을 지정된 시간구간 만큼 무한반복 동작함에 따라 자외선 램프의 수명과 불필요한 전력의 낭비의 요인이 되고 있다.The existing invention technically solves the bacterial contaminated part of the vulnerable part which is not irradiated with ultraviolet rays because the ultraviolet lamp is fixed, and the lifetime of the ultraviolet lamp is continuously operated by infinitely repeating the operation time of the ultraviolet lamp or the heat-drying heater by the designated time period. And waste of unnecessary power.

본 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 본 발명품에는 마이크로 프로세서를 장착하고, 톱니모양의 리프트(114) 상부 좌,우, 중앙에 온도감지 센서(115), 습도감지 센서(116), 오염도감지 센서(117)를 부착하여 각 센서에서 취득한 데이터를 효율적인 방식으로 프로그래밍하여 마이크로 프로세서의 제어신호를 발생시켜 이동식 자외선 램프(118)와 하단부 열풍건조 히터(109)의 동작시간을 효율적으로 제어한다. In order to solve the problem, the present invention is equipped with a microprocessor, the temperature sensor 115, the humidity sensor 116, the pollution sensor 117 in the upper left, right, center of the toothed lift 114, The data obtained from each sensor is programmed in an efficient manner to generate a control signal of the microprocessor to efficiently control the operating time of the movable ultraviolet lamp 118 and the lower end hot air drying heater 109.

본 발명은 이동식 자외선 램프(118)가 칫솔을 감싸고 있는 형상으로 자외선 램프의 조사량과 복사열이 살균기 내부를 향하고 있음으로 온실효과를 얻을 수 있어 단일시간 동안의 동작기간 중에 자외선 램프의 상단부 고정형이나 벽면 고정형에 비해 살균효과가 효율적이다.According to the present invention, the movable ultraviolet lamp 118 surrounds the toothbrush, and thus the amount of radiation and the radiant heat of the ultraviolet lamp are directed toward the inside of the sterilizer. Thus, the greenhouse effect can be obtained. Compared to the effective sterilization effect.
