Description

Plasma sterilization disinfection cabinet and disinfection method

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of disinfection cabinets, in particular to a plasma sterilization disinfection cabinet and a disinfection method.

Background

At present, disinfection cabinets generally adopt ultraviolet rays, high temperature, ozone and other modes for sterilization and disinfection. The ultraviolet disinfection range is limited and the disinfection is not thorough. High-temperature disinfection energy consumption is high, and some plastic kitchen utensils which do not resist high temperature cannot be disinfected at high temperature. Although ozone has a remarkable sterilizing effect, ozone itself has a strong pungent smell and also has a certain toxicity. Excessive ozone can strongly stimulate the respiratory tract of a human body, cause symptoms such as sore throat, chest distress, cough and the like, and possibly cause bronchitis and emphysema; the long-term work in the high-concentration ozone environment can cause people to suffer from nerve poisoning, dizziness, headache, visual deterioration and memory deterioration.

Plasma sterilization has been applied in the fields of medical use and the like, and the modes for generating plasma mainly include dielectric barrier discharge and corona discharge, and discharge devices of the plasma include DBD, Glow, Spark, Propelleter Arc and the like. The plasma technology can realize excellent sterilization effect, and the principle comprises three parts: active particle radical oxidation, high-speed particle breakdown, and ultraviolet photons. The sterilization process does not need high temperature, and meanwhile, the active particles can be rapidly diffused to a sterilization space in a gaseous state, so that dead-angle-free sterilization is realized. However, the main reason for limiting the use of plasma technology is the associated generation of large amounts of ozone during plasma discharge. The irritating odor and toxicity of ozone limit the use of plasma technology in daily life.

To control the ozone concentration, three methods are mostly adopted at present: shortening the plasma discharge time, increasing the ambient temperature and adding a catalyst to promote ozone decomposition.

The ozone concentration is reduced by shortening the plasma discharge time, so that long-period intermittent work is often formed, for example, the mode of discharging for 1min and resting for 30min in a refrigerator is adopted, and the circulation mode is adopted. Although the mode can realize the sterilization effect, the long-time standby mode can bring the improvement of the power consumption, and the mode is not suitable for other electric appliances which are discontinuously supplied with power, such as washing machines, disinfection cabinets, water heaters, air conditioners and the like.

The ozone concentration is reduced by adopting a mode of improving the environmental temperature, so that on one hand, the power consumption is improved, and on the other hand, the period is prolonged and the working efficiency is reduced due to slow ozone decomposition. And is also not suitable for household appliances working at low temperature or normal temperature, such as refrigerators, washing machines and the like.

The mode of adding the catalyst is adopted to promote the ozone decomposition, so that the phenomena of low efficiency, easy inactivation of the catalyst and the like exist, and the concentration of ozone is unstable and is easy to exceed the standard.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are merely for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

The invention discloses a plasma sterilization and disinfection cabinet, and relates to the technical field of fig. 1 to 4, wherein fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the disinfection cabinet, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the disinfection cabinet, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a plasma generation module, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an atomization module. The sterilizing cabinet comprises a cabinet body 300, a sterilizing space 310 is formed inside the cabinet body 300, and articles to be sterilized are placed in the sterilizing space 310 for sterilization. The plasma sterilization and disinfection cabinet comprises a plasma generation module 100, a power supply module 200, an airflow module 500 and an atomization module 600. The plasma generating module 100 includes a gas chamber 120, a discharge assembly 110 is disposed in the gas chamber 120, and an air outlet 122 and an openable and closable air inlet 121 are disposed on a sidewall of the gas chamber 120. The power module 200 provides high voltage power to the discharge assembly 110, so that the discharge assembly 110 generates plasma. The gas flow module 500 is communicated with the gas outlet 122 through a pipeline for conveying the plasma in the gas chamber 120 into the sterilization space 310. The atomization module 600 is disposed on the cabinet 300, and is configured to input mist into the sterilization space 310.

The plasma generating module 100 comprises an initial discharge stage and a stable discharge stage, wherein in the initial discharge stage, the airflow module 500 is closed, the air outlet 122 is closed, the air chamber 120 is closed, the discharge assembly 110 generates plasma under the action of the power module 200, and after the initial discharge stage works for a period of time, the ozone concentration of the plasma in the air chamber 120 is reduced and stabilized; then, the plasma generating module 100 enters a stable discharging stage, at this time, the airflow module 500 is turned on, the air inlet 121 is opened, the plasma with low ozone concentration in the air chamber 120 enters the sterilizing space 310 for sterilization, and meanwhile, new air enters the air chamber for discharging to generate new plasma. Meanwhile, the mist generated by the atomizing module 600 reacts with the plasma in the sterilization space 310 to generate active particles with strong oxidizing property, so that the ozone concentration is reduced, and the sterilization rate is improved. The sterilizing cabinet reduces the ozone concentration and improves the sterilizing efficiency through the synergistic effect of the plasma generating module 100, the airflow module 500 and the atomizing module 600

The plasma generated by the plasma generating module 100 is not directly input into the sterilization space 310, but is input into the sterilization space 310 for sterilization after the plasma inside the gas chamber 120 is stabilized after reacting for a period of time, such as 1-5min, inside the closed gas chamber 120. The reason for this is that ozone and other active molecules are present in the plasma generated by the discharge unit 110 during the initial stage of discharge, and if the plasma containing ozone is directly inputted into the sterilization space 310 for sterilization, the odor and toxicity of ozone may adversely affect the user. And these ozone and active molecule are extremely unstable in the initial stage of discharging, ozone and other active molecules will react, then, will discharge plasma containing certain ozone and active molecule produced in the initial stage and react in the closed air chamber 120 for a period of time, ozone and other active molecules will react each other in the air chamber to reduce the ozone concentration, then, will enter the plasma with low ozone concentration into the sterilization space 310 to sterilize, realize the sterilization of all-round, no dead angle, and avoided the bad influence that the ozone brings. The plasma generating module 100 utilizes the unstable characteristic of the plasma generated by the discharge assembly 110 in the initial stage of discharge, provides a reaction space for the unstable plasma by using the closed gas chamber 120, and inputs the plasma into the sterilization space 310 for sterilization after the ozone concentration is reduced after the reaction.

Further, the discharge assembly 110 adopts a dielectric barrier discharge form in the prior art, referring to fig. 3, the discharge assembly 110 includes a high voltage electrode 111, a ground electrode 113 and a dielectric layer 112, and the dielectric layer 112 is disposed between the high voltage electrode 111 and the ground electrode 113; the discharge power density of the discharge assembly 110 is greater than 0.17W/cm². The discharge power density is increased by increasing the discharge power of the discharge assembly 110 and reducing the discharge area. The increase of the discharge power density contributes to the reduction of the ozone concentration. FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the discharge power and the concentration of ozone, and it can be seen from the graph that the larger the discharge power density is, the lower the concentration of ozone is.

Further, the high voltage electrode 111 and the ground electrode 113 are connected to the power module 200, and the high voltage power supplied by the power module 200 includes a sinusoidal high voltage power and a pulse high voltage power. Specifically, in this embodiment, the frequency of the sinusoidal high voltage power supply is 50Hz to 100MHz, the voltage amplitude is 1kV to 20kV, and the frequency of the pulsed high voltage power supply is lower than 100 kHz. The high voltage power supply thus provided helps to produce a uniform, low ozone concentration plasma.

In a preferred embodiment, the airflow module 500 includes an air outlet duct 520 and an air pump 510, the air pump 510 is connected to the air outlet 122 via a pipeline, and the end of the air outlet duct 520 is connected to the sterilization space 310. When the plasma generating module 100 is in the stable discharging stage, the plasma in the gas chamber 120 enters the sterilizing space 310 through the air outlet duct 520 under the action of the air pump 510.

Further, the flow rate of the gas output by the gas flow module 500 is preferably 0.8L/min to 5L/min. The active components in the plasma change with the change of the gas flow rate, and it is known from a lot of experiments that the ozone concentration decreases with the decrease of the gas flow rate in this embodiment. Fig. 6 shows the relationship between the gas flow rate and the ozone concentration measured in three different time periods, and it can be seen from fig. 6 that the ozone concentration increases as the gas flow rate increases and decreases as the gas flow rate decreases, so that in order to decrease the ozone concentration, the gas flow rate needs to be controlled within a lower range interval. By reasonably controlling the air pump 510, the flow rate of the air blown out by the air pump can not only input the plasma into the sterilization space 310, but also help to reduce the ozone concentration.

In other embodiments, the airflow module 500 may also be a fan disposed at the air outlet 122, the air outlet 122 is communicated with the sterilization space 310, and the plasma in the plenum 120 enters the sterilization space 310 under the blowing action of the fan.

Further, an auxiliary heating module (not shown) for decomposing ozone in the gas chamber to further reduce the concentration of ozone is provided in the gas chamber 120. The invention is not limited in particular by the specific structural form of the auxiliary heating module, such as PTC hot air, heating sheet and the like. The heating temperature of the auxiliary heating module is preferably not lower than 60 ℃ so as to ensure that the ozone can be effectively decomposed and the ozone concentration can be reduced.

The cabinet also comprises a main heating module 400, which has two functions, on the one hand for drying the items to be sterilised in the sterilisation space and, on the other hand, for decomposing a small amount of ozone present in the sterilisation space. Wherein, the drying function is mainly, and the ozone decomposition function is auxiliary. The specific structural form of the main heating module 400 is not particularly limited in the present invention, and for example, PTC hot air, a heating sheet, etc. are used.

The heating temperature of the main heating module 400 is 30 to 80 deg.c, preferably 60 deg.c. The main heating module 400 within the temperature range can dry the articles to be sterilized and decompose ozone.

The main heating module 400 operates simultaneously with the plasma generating module 100, that is, the main heating module 400 simultaneously dries and decomposes ozone, contributing to shortening the sterilization time and providing sterilization efficiency. And among the current sterilizer, for example ozone sterilizer, two processes of drying and decomposing ozone through the heating are the separate operation, and back in a large amount of ozone got into the sterilization space, earlier utilize ozone to disinfect, disinfect the completion back, restart heating module decomposes ozone, treat that ozonolysis accomplishes the back, heating module resumes to heat up again and realizes drying. The processes of sterilization, ozone decomposition and drying are completed independently, so that the sterilization time of the disinfection cabinet is greatly prolonged, and the efficiency is lower. In the embodiment, before the plasma enters the sterilization space 310, the concentration of ozone contained in the plasma generated by the plasma generation module 100 is already low, so that the plasma entering the sterilization space 310 can meet the use requirement even without ozone decomposition operation. The main heating module 400 can decompose a small amount of ozone which is still stored when drying operation is carried out, so that the ozone concentration is further reduced, and the use performance of the disinfection cabinet is improved.
