The plasma sterilization device 100 provided by the application is used for performing sterilization treatment on the surface of an object 200 to be sterilized, and the object 200 to be sterilized can be medical equipment, wounds on the surface of skin, culture medium and the like. The plasma generating unit 20 is a device capable of generating plasma jet, and the plasma jet acts on the object 200 to be sterilized, so as to inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, viruses and the like existing on the surface of the object 200 to be sterilized, thereby implementing sterilization treatment on the object 200 to be sterilized. The plasma generating unit 20 may be a jet pipe having one end communicating with an external gas supply device and the other end having an opening through which the generated plasma flows out. When the gas in the external gas supply device flows to the jet pipe, the gas is ionized into plasma by the jet pipe with high voltage electricity, and then the plasma jet is formed by jetting through the opening.

The position acquisition unit 10 may further include one or more laser scanning heads to scan the object to be sterilized 200 from one or more directions, so as to obtain the position information of the object to be sterilized 200 in the actual environment.

In this embodiment, the position information of the object to be sterilized 200 may be two-dimensional coordinate information or three-dimensional plane information. When the position information of the object 200 to be sterilized is two-dimensional coordinate information, the plasma generation unit 20 may be driven by the driving unit 30 to move in a certain plane according to the two-dimensional coordinate information, so as to perform sterilization treatment on the surface of the object 200 to be sterilized, which is directly facing the plasma generation unit 20.
