Description

Multifunctional pouch having UVC-LED sterilization module therein

The present invention relates to a pouch, and more particularly, a built-in ultraviolet (UVC) light emitting diode (LED) sterilization module with sterilization and disinfection functions, so that people such as smartphones, earphones, glasses, writing instruments, cosmetics, accessories, car keys, etc. It relates to a multifunctional pouch capable of hygienic management of carrying household items.

Recently, in order to prevent the spread of an infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus (CoV) that has spread around the world, the importance of personal prevention is emerging. Examples of personal quarantine practices include wearing a mask, washing hands, and maintaining distance. Since the COVID-19 virus has a high transmission power, basic personal quarantine is more important than ever.

From the point of view of basic personal quarantine, efforts are needed to reduce the risk of contamination by bacteria from household items that people inevitably and frequently come into contact with in their daily lives. For example, when going out, people generally carry cell phones, cosmetics, accessories, writing instruments, etc., and carry these in upper and lower pockets or in a bag. These household items are highly likely to be contaminated by bacteria because people frequently take them out and come into contact with them in real life. In particular, in the case of a mobile phone, clean management is essential because it is an object that directly comes into contact with the user's hand and face during use. In general, in order to keep the mobile phone clean, the mobile phone is periodically wiped using an alcohol swab for disinfection, but this alone cannot completely remove contaminants such as bacteria or viruses remaining in the mobile phone.

In the related industry, paying attention to this fact, devices that can sterilize household items including mobile phones are being developed. For example, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1530277 (registration date: June 15, 2015) discloses a portable bag assembly equipped with drying and sterilization functions. According to this patent, a bulkhead is installed inside the bag body In addition, a management unit and controller that can supply cold and hot air were installed to enable drying and sterilization of the goods even in situations where washing and drying were impossible. However, according to this patent, there is a drawback in that the size is relatively large because ancillary devices of a certain capacity or more must be disposed to perform drying and sterilization functions.

Next, for example, Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-2042840 (registration date: November 04, 2019) discloses a bag having a sterilization function, which forms a space for accommodating goods inside and provides UV rays A light irradiation unit for irradiating light and a trigger unit for operating the light irradiation unit were provided to enable sterilization of user articles. However, according to this patent, the size of the bag is relatively large because an accessory device of a certain capacity or more must be disposed in order to perform a desired sterilization function, such as forming an article accommodating space in the bag body in the form of a box, and providing an opening and closing part and a pocket part. There was a big flaw.

Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present inventor has a sterilization and sterilization function in a pouch that people can conveniently carry by putting their daily props, so that people can use the daily props at any time and at any time in their daily life. Since it can sterilize in real time, it was intended to develop a device that can be free from contamination of bacteria and viruses.
