3 is an operation timing diagram illustrating a washing, disinfection, sterilization, and drying process performed through the control unit 152, (a) is a detection signal of an infrared sensor, (b) is an open / close control signal of a valve, and (c) is The operation control signal of the sterilization lamp, (d) represents the operation control signal of the blower.

As shown in FIG. 3, after detecting the user's hand by the infrared sensor 70, the valve 110 is opened to proceed with the cleaning disinfection process as described above, and when the cleaning disinfection process is completed, the controller 152. In step (c), the blower 60 is operated to dry the user's hand.

When the predetermined time is completed, the blower 60 is stopped regardless of whether the user's hand is sensed to complete the drying process.

Here, the controller 152 displays the current progress state on the display unit 20 through the display control unit 154, so that the user can recognize the progress state by looking at it.

In addition, when the sterilization process is completed, the control unit 152 increases the counting of the counter 200 by 1 to count the number of sterilizations.

The counter 200 is to inform the replacement time of the filter 130, it is installed around the filter 130 so that the administrator can easily recognize.

The disinfectant solution sprayed by the nozzle 40 during the disinfection process is flowed into the filter 130 through the lower pipe 30 through the drain container 80, and the foreign matter is filtered through the filter 130. You lose.

The disinfecting solution that has passed through the filter 130 is delivered to the purification device 140, and is purified by the purification device 140 and then transferred to the humidification discharge device 90.

The disinfecting solution is collected in the humidifying and discharging device 90, and the disinfecting solution thus collected is atomized through the humidifying and discharging device 90 and discharged to the outside through the spray tube 91.

This process completes the disinfection, sterilization, drying and discharging of the disinfecting solution.

The control device 150 controls such a process, and also makes it easy to manage by informing the administrator through the self-diagnosis of whether such devices are operating correctly, the state of the device is normal.

The disinfecting solution amount sensor 160 confirms the disinfecting solution amount, and generates an alarm data indicating that the disinfecting solution is insufficient when the disinfecting solution falls to a predetermined level.

At this time, if there is an auxiliary disinfectant solution container, open the valve of the auxiliary disinfectant solution container so that the disinfectant solution loaded in the auxiliary disinfectant solution container is discharged.

In addition, by detecting the current flowing in the blower 60 through the current sensor 170 to check the operating state of the blower (60).

If the disinfecting solution is not detected from the drain sensor 180 even though the spray control signal of the disinfecting solution is generated through the drain sensor 180 configured in the pipe 30, the nozzle 40 or the valve 110 or the disinfecting solution may be It can be suspected of lack and generates alarm data on this.

In another embodiment, the self-diagnostic control unit 153 receives the detection signal of the infrared sensor 70 from the sensor signal processing unit 151 to detect the wavelength, and compares the change of the detected wavelength to the nozzle 40. Means for judging whether the disinfecting solution sprayed from the

It is determined whether the disinfecting solution is normally sprayed from the nozzle 40 according to the change of the detection signal of the infrared sensor 70.

In the infrared sensor 70, the hand detects whether the hand is inserted, and when the disinfecting solution is sprayed from the nozzle 40, the received signal of the infrared sensor 70 is changed by the disinfecting solution sprayed.

By detecting this, it is determined whether the disinfecting solution is normally sprayed from the nozzle 40.

The overflow sensor 190 confirms whether the disinfecting solution is overflowed in the purification device 140 and generates alarm data.

When an alarm device is configured for the alarm data generated as described above, an alarm message, an alarm sound, etc. are generated through a corresponding alarm device, and the manager RF terminal 210A is connected to the RF communication module 210. The alarm data is sent out.

The manager RF terminal 210A receives the signal and informs the manager, and the manager takes action.

On the other hand, Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, since the position of the hand opening 11 is configured based on an adult, as in 4 so that it can be used easily even if the height is small, such as a child, the hand opening 11 Configure one more.

Another embodiment of the present invention is a nozzle 40, an infrared sensor 70, a blower 60, a drain box 80, a filter plate 81 and disinfection which are configured in the hand inlet 11 for sterilization and disinfection. The valve 110 for injecting the solution through the nozzle 40 is further configured,

In selecting the object to be controlled from the two valves 110, the control device 150 controls the valve 70 corresponding to the infrared detection sensor 70 in which the user's hand is detected, and thus the corresponding hand inlet 11. It is configured to be able to spray the disinfecting solution through the nozzle 40 is configured in).

Therefore, the user may use the hand inlet 11 at the upper side in the case of an adult, and the hand inlet 11 at the lower side in the case of a child.

The present invention can be used in a variety of facilities, such as hospitals, postpartum cooking centers, nursing homes such as hotels, hotels, restaurants, general restaurants such as restaurants, kindergartens, nursery schools, educational facilities such as schools, public offices that various people enter and exit, In particular, since it is possible to easily disinfect, sterilize, and dry the external work of hygiene companies, the hygiene and cleanliness of workers can be maintained, and various pathogens in the hands can be removed to prevent transmission and food poisoning through the hands. Of course, it can improve the reliability of consumers.

In addition, as the disinfectant solution is used for additional cleaning function, the disinfectant solution generated after disinfection is cleaned through the first filtering process and discharged to the outside through the humidification process, so it can be installed freely regardless of the installation site. Do.
