Description

The invention relates to a device for cleaning and disinfecting objects, in particular for the medical and laboratory sector, according to the preamble of the 1st protection claim and its use and the object cleaned with it and preferably relates to the cleaning and disinfection of protective clothing and protective equipment such as masks for the medical -biochemical area. In addition, the method described below can advantageously also be used to disinfect items of clothing, blankets, mattresses and other textile equipment in medical facilities, from personal use or laboratory areas.

According to the prior art, some disinfection methods using UV-C radiation and ozone generation are known, but they have many disadvantages.

From the pamphlet DE 698 01 450 T2 a method for disinfecting liquids and gases and devices for using said method are known. The document relates in particular to methods for disinfecting liquids and gases by means of light which is radiated into the liquids and gases through light guides. The light is used in the form of ultraviolet radiation (UVA, UVB, UVC), as this radiation is particularly suitable for killing bacteria or microscopic harmful microorganisms. The light can also come from the visible range of the spectrum. The method comprises distributing at least one light guide in an area containing the liquids or gases to be disinfected. This is followed by aligning at least one radiation unit with a light source of high intensity and then irradiating the liquid or the gas over a predetermined period of time. The radiation unit is designed in the form of a laser.

In the pamphlet EP 2 273 004 B1 describes a cabinet for cleaning clothes, the cabinet having a cleaning space for the clothes to be cleaned and means for generating ozone from air. The ozone is brought into the cleaning room and brought into contact with clothing. The closet has an equipment room in which ozone is generated for cleaning the clothes and supplied to the clothes. The equipment room is designed to be separated from the cleaning room by a wall.

A device for sterilizing shoes is from the document U.S. 4,981,651 A known. The device comprises an elongated lamp for emitting ultraviolet radiation in a housing as well as a heating element and a fan. The device can be introduced into a shoe, with sterilization of the shoe sole being achieved by means of the lamp and the heating element. The growth of fungi and bacteria is stopped. However, only air circulation within the UV radiation source is described, but not in the chamber located around it. A suction and a filter are not disclosed.

A similar device is shown in US 2016/0339126 A1 (D1). This UV sources are arranged in a housing, which are at least partially introduced into textiles to be cleaned. Extraction is not provided here.

the end U.S. 3,877,152 A shows a chamber for treating textiles with an air supply, a heating source and a UV radiation source with which ozone is generated. A vacuum can be applied to the chamber.

The document too CH 359 113 A describes a chamber to which a vacuum is applied, creating a flow of air. The vacuum is used to remove the ozone and the dirt particles loosened from the laundry.

From the pamphlet DE 10 2012 209 823 A1 a method and a device for cleaning textiles are known, these being inserted through an opening into the chamber of a household appliance. Air is introduced into the chamber of the dryer. The air is irradiated with UV-C light, 100 to 280nm, with an ozone generator provided for this purpose being arranged outside the chamber. With this solution, it is not possible to efficiently clean the interior areas of the clothing or the surface of other materials or objects.

document DE 10 2007 037 984 A shows a device with an air circulation and an ozone source, which can be introduced into the textiles. The air can flow through the tissue. A separation device removes ozone and dirt particles. The UV source is on chamber-side end of the air supply, but the air flow is not divided for several UV radiation sources. Furthermore, no change in pressure is provided.

From the pamphlet US 2009/0193676 A1 a device for drying shoes is known, which, however, separates the ozone generation and the UV radiation from one another.

From the US 2008/159907 A1 there is known an apparatus comprising a cabinet defining a chamber and wherein a drawer is slidably positioned in the chamber and is movable between an open position and a closed position. The drawer defines a compartment that is configured to hold an object, for example clothing (sweatshirt, shoes, jacket). In the closed position, the drawer is configured to restrict air flow out of the compartment. The device comprises an ozone generator to generate ozone. However, this is not positioned in the drawer near the objects to be disinfected, but in a separate machine room.

Efficient cleaning and disinfection of clothing or the surface of other materials or objects such as blankets is not possible with the aforementioned solutions, since the ozone cannot completely penetrate.

In the pamphlet DE 11 2007 000 615 T5 A device for sterilizing human footwear is also described which has a light source which emits radiation in a wavelength range that sterilizes the footwear by inhibiting or destroying the growth of microorganisms which are present in an inner region of the footwear ; a support for the light source for placing it in position to direct the radiation onto the interior of the footwear; and a light blocker that prevents the radiation from harming a person located near the footwear during sterilization. Furthermore, this solution relates to a device for sterilizing human footwear with an opening into which the foot of a person is inserted in order to stand on the footwear, comprising: a light source which emits radiation in a visible wavelength range, which sterilizes the footwear by the Growth of microorganisms existing in an inner area of the footwear is inhibited; and a support for the light source to position it to direct the radiation into the interior of the footwear to sterilize it.

The disadvantage of these two aforementioned solutions is that adhering impurities are not removed.

In an interview by Sabine Elsässer with Stefan Chang, founder of Hygenator and inventor of the RefresherBoxx, on 24. May 2018 (2018-05-24), Ref. See URL: https: //www.startupvalley.news/de/stefanchang-hygenator-refresherboxx/ or according to
XP055667315, it is stated that this box works with an intelligent and unique combination of the latest technologies (UV_C light, ozone, temperature variation, negative and positive pressure). The purely physical cleaning method denatures odor-producing bacteria such as Propionibacterium or Staphylococcus epidermis. This means that their cell walls are destroyed and the bacteria are thus killed. With the help of pressure in the box, the denatured bacteria, fungi and moisture are carried out. In addition, the RefresherBoxx has an antibacterial and antifungal effect, so that fungal infections are combated and these are prevented.

Furthermore, the article was published in the Aachener Nachrichten on May 8, 2018 (2018-05-08): "Aachen: Young inventor from Aachen provides fresh shoes", see also according to XP055663871 and below
URL: https: //www.aachener-nachrichten.de/lokales/aachen/junger-erfinder-aus-aachen-sracht-fuerfrische-schuhe aid-24508537. From this, however, it can only be taken for the disinfection of shoes, quote "With a UV lamp you can generate ozone, the moisture is removed, but at the same time also fungi and microorganisms" - furthermore -
.. “A filter absorbs everything. The shoe will not be damaged. "

How these technologies indicated in the articles interact in detail and how the box is constructed cannot be inferred from the two aforementioned publications.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for gentle cleaning and in particular practically 100% disinfection of at least one object, in particular textiles such as clothing, protective clothing, face masks, gowns, coats, gloves, etc. for the medical and laboratory sector to provide, wherein in particular an environmentally friendly elimination of bacteria and viruses is made possible without the use of chemical additives and the device has a simple structural design.

In particular, the object was to provide a device to quickly reuse medical protective equipment. This reuse is of particular importance in times of epidemics and pandemics, especially if there is an acute shortage of protective equipment for logistical reasons, e.g. in poorly accessible areas and in the event of delivery and production bottlenecks.

These objects are achieved by a device and its use and objects treated therewith having the features of claims 1, 18 and 19.

Advantageous refinements result from the subclaims.

The device for cleaning and disinfecting at least one object such as clothing and / or protective masks, in particular for the medical or laboratory sector, has a chamber surrounded by a housing in which at least one base body for receiving the object is arranged, the base body having a cavity and on its outer circumference has one or more flow-through openings to the cavity, with at least one UV light emitting and ozone-generating UV radiation source being arranged in the area of at least one flow opening and that at least one air supply leads into the cavity of the base body, the air from the cavity of the base body can be guided through the opening past the UV radiation source into the object.

The products or units listed in Table 2 below are summarized / referred to as the object or objects: Table 2 - objects to be cleaned or disinfected with the invention, in particular materials for the medical, veterinary or laboratory sector Everyday objects Made of textile materials, such as Polymer-based objects, e.g. made of synthetic fibers, Synthetic fibers, cashmere, natural fibers, silk, velvet, wool PE-based clothing and objects, polymer-based protective equipment, face masks of leather Footwear Clothing such as smocks, stockings, gloves, jackets, coats, trousers, Sports equipment Jerseys, shoes, sport shoes sportswear Special equipments Fire equipment Laboratory coats / laboratory protective equipment / laboratory equipment for biochemistry, laboratory equipment, e.g. in the field of chemistry, biochemistry or microbiology Rescue worker equipment Protective equipment Med. Objects and devices Medical protective equipment Respirators; Operating theater requirements, equipment in intensive care, nursing equipment, especially in the outpatient area

In the medical field, cleaning relates in particular to protective clothing, e.g. mouth masks, gloves, gowns, hoods for heads and shoes made of textile fibers or polymers according to Table 2.

Such objects or textiles and garments from the medical or biochemical hospital, development or research area according to Table 1, in particular from security areas, have so far often only been used once or have to be laboriously Usually aggressive disinfectants are cleaned in a washing machine and then dried in a tumble dryer in order to remove dirt, germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi or their spores according to Tab. 2.

In addition, such protective equipment is generally disinfected in hospitals at high temperatures and with the use of highly reactive chemicals such as biocides and often at the expense of the material properties.

According to the method, the cleaning and disinfection and the elimination of pathogenic organisms according to Table 1 in or on objects according to Table 2, which consists, for example, of textile material, in particular an item of clothing such as smocks, jackets, coats, face masks, gloves and the like for medical or medical use veterinary or laboratory area, research laboratories such as virology, vaccine development laboratories in that the object is received in the chamber by means of a receiving element and in the chamber during a cleaning cycle to remove pathogens by means of at least one UV light source attached to the receiving element UV-C light in the invisible wavelength range and ozone is generated and that the chamber 2 is applied with a negative pressure and / or an overpressure, with an air inlet leading from the housing into the chamber and an air outlet leading from the chamber out of the housing an air flow is generated through the hollow receiving element and the air via outlets on the hollow receiving element flows and flows past ozone-generating UV lamps and is directed into the object.

Furthermore, the temperature in the chamber can be set in a temperature range from -50 ° C to 100 ° C.

By means of an air inlet leading from the housing into the chamber and an air outlet leading from the chamber out of the housing, an air flow is generated within the chamber, which flows specifically through channels arranged in the receiving element over the UV lamp and to or into the cleaning, in particular object to be disinfected is directed.

It is preferred to clean and disinfect objects that are made of textile or polymeric material or that have textile material that can also be combined with other materials such as plastic, leather, etc.

The combination of UV light and ozone, the temperature or a change in temperature and the pressure or the pressure change in the chamber ensure a good cleaning result and reduce or eliminate contamination with bacteria, viruses and germs / microorganisms.

The aforementioned techniques used are preferably carried out simultaneously during a cleaning cycle. However, it is also possible to carry out the selected techniques one after the other in any order or alternatively.

A UV-C lamp is preferably used as the means for generating ozone, with which ozone is generated by emitting UV-C light, because the UV-C radiation forms ions that convert atmospheric oxygen into ozone. The ozone is extremely reactive and has a strong germicidal effect.

The UV-C lamp is preferably dimmable (for example by an upstream or integrated dimmer) so that the radiation intensity of the UV-C lamp can be changed depending on the degree of soiling of the objects to be cleaned. In the case of a high level of soiling, the UV-C lamp generates a high intensity and thus more ozone; in the case of less soiling, a lower intensity of the UV-C lamp and thus less ozone is preferably generated. The wavelength of the UV-C lamps is between 100 nm and 800 nm, preferably between 100 nm and 300 nm, particularly preferably between 150 nm and 280 nm.

The temperature modes of the device are in particular adjustable or changeable in such a way that the temperature in the chamber rises from a low temperature to a higher temperature, or is reduced from a high temperature to a lower temperature, or that the temperature alternately increases and decreases again or decreases and increases again. The temperature can be set and / or changed in a temperature range from -50 ° C to 100 ° C, preferably in a temperature range from -30 ° C to 60 ° C, particularly preferably in a temperature range between -10 ° C and 50 ° C be.

The temperature differences in particular loosen stubborn adhesions so that they can be loosened more easily.

Furthermore, an underpressure and / or an overpressure can be generated in the chamber in relation to the atmospheric pressure. The pressure in the chamber can increase from a low pressure to a higher pressure or be reduced from a high pressure to a low pressure. It is also possible that the pressure in the chamber alternately increases and decreases again or decreases and increases again.

The pressure in the chamber can be adjustable and / or changeable in a pressure range between 0.001 bar to 10 bar, in particular between 0.1 bar and 2 bar. To achieve such a pressure difference, the chamber within the housing can be hermetically sealed.

Dirt and other adhesions are loosened from the object to be cleaned as a result of the pressure differences.

In the event of a negative pressure, the air is sucked out of the chamber, so that pathogens, dirt particles and the like are released and sucked out of the chamber and from / from the objects (e.g. shoes).

It is also possible for silver nanoparticles to be introduced into the chamber from a reservoir; these can have a particle size of 1 nm to 1000 nm.

It is possible to only introduce the silver nanoparticles into the chamber after the other techniques have been completed, so that they lie over the surface of the object and thus offer future protection, since it has antibacterial properties or good bactericidal activity.

In a cleaning cycle, heated or cooled air is advantageously introduced into the chamber and irradiated in the chamber with ultraviolet light from at least one UV-C light source. By means of the UV-C light source, ozone is generated in the chamber, thereby disinfecting and cleaning the at least one object, the UV-C light source being at least partially introduced into the recesses or the cavity of the object and an air stream flowing past it. A preferably alternating pressure is generated in the chamber by means of a suction device, as a result of which soiling of the object is loosened and the dirt particles are transported away.

In an advantageous embodiment, the air flow can be heated by means of a heating element in the area of the intake. The heating element is preferably integrated into the duct in the form of a fan heater.

It is possible that, during a cleaning cycle, the temperature is reduced, preferably alternately within 0.5 to 66 minutes, from 150 ° C to -30 ° C and then increased again or vice versa.

Furthermore, during a cleaning cycle, the pressure can preferably alternately reduce from 5 bar to 0.1 bar within 0.5 to 66 minutes and then increase again.

Alternatively, the temperature can only reduce or only increase and / or the pressure can only increase or only reduce during a cleaning cycle.

Particularly preferably, water vapor is added to the air stream in the area of the inlet into the chamber, which has a smoothing effect on the textiles. The ironing of the garments can then be omitted.

The water vapor is generated in a water tank with an integrated heating element. The use of hot steam at a temperature of 65 to 150 ° C also kills bacteria, fungi and viruses that are present on the garment or a medical object.

A fragrance is preferably added to the air stream and / or the chamber. The fragrance elements can be interchangeable and available in different fragrances.

Overall, it is possible with the method to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and their spores in or on objects.

In particular, protective equipment and protective clothing as well as laboratory items made of typical textile or chemical polymers and / or polymer fibers can be cleaned and disinfected in a short time, in particular within 1 to 100 minutes and preferably within 1 to 15 minutes.

This is done quickly and gently, and the items can be reused immediately after the cleaning process has ended.

For example, protective clothing such as face masks, protective gowns, gloves, shoes and the like, which were only intended for single use, can therefore be used again or several times without hesitation, since existing pathogens have been eliminated according to Table 1.

Overall, the solution according to the invention achieves extremely reliable cleaning and disinfection of the object (s). In particular, recesses and cavities present in the object or clothing can be cleaned and disinfected if the UV lamp is at least partially introduced into them. The fact that the pressure differences also act in the cavities and the temperature in the chamber is cooled or heated (if necessary also alternately) also create cavities and recesses of objects according to Tab. 2, e.g. as with items of clothing (e.g. the inside of shoes or gloves ), or of coats and jackets and other textiles that are used in particular in the medical and laboratory area, cleaned and disinfected. This enables a reliable and almost complete decontamination of the objects from the pathogens mentioned in Table 1.

It is particularly advantageous to use the method when objects are made of or have textile material and cannot be washed, or can only be washed to a limited extent, or there is no water supply available for washing. If objects are not or only slightly soiled and therefore washing with water is not absolutely necessary, the use of the method for removing or disinfecting bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens is also indicated.

A fan is preferably arranged at the air inlet and the air outlet, which fan draws in and sucks in air.

The device has all of the aforementioned means, with these being used, as required, to implement several or all of the techniques that can be carried out with it during a cleaning cycle, even in preset cycles.

At least one UV lamp for generating (invisible) UV-C radiation and for generating ozone is advantageously arranged on the base body in the chamber. Furthermore, the device has the suction device for generating a negative pressure in the chamber. With this suction device, the dirt particles loosened from the object are also sucked off.

At least two UV lamps are advantageously arranged on the base body next to one another and at a distance from one another, the UV lamps in particular being dimmable.

In an advantageous embodiment, the base body can be designed to be adjustable in its width and / or height. This is preferably done by means of outwardly movable or pivotable elements which are continuously adjustable or adjustable by means of a grid.

The base body is removably and / or exchangeably fastened in the chamber or can be extended out of the chamber and retracted into the chamber, for example, by means of a rail system. In this way, the object can be conveniently fixed on the base body outside the chamber and then introduced into the chamber.

The cleaning cycle can advantageously be set by means of a control unit and the parameters such as temperature and / or pressure and / or addition of fragrances and / or silver nanoparticles can be set.

In an advantageous embodiment, a fragrance element is arranged in the air supply. The fragrance element can be adjustable in such a way that the desired intensity of the fragrance of the clothing or of the textile can be set.

The device preferably has a water tank with a heating element in such a way that water vapor can be generated and that the water vapor can be supplied to the air supply via a duct. A combined air stream of heated air and water vapor is fed into the chamber (cleaning chamber) and introduced into the clothing.

The method is used in particular to clean and disinfect objects, in particular cavities and flat textile structures formed by textiles, the textiles (or at least one textile) being inserted through an opening into a chamber formed by a housing. In a first process step, temperature-variable air, preferably heated or cooled air, is preferably introduced into the chamber and then the object (s) is irradiated with ultraviolet light from at least one UV source, the UV source generating ozone in the chamber and disinfection and cleaning of the objects takes place. The cavity formed by at least one textile is arranged on at least one UV source in such a way that the UV source can at least partially be introduced into the objects or can be positioned close to the object. The germs and bacteria are killed by the combination of UV radiation and the ozone formed, which means that the object in question can be disinfected. The cleaning effect is improved by the air flow, the temperature and the pressure in the chamber.

The generated ozone is removed by a filter placed in the area of the suction device when the cleaned air is sucked or expelled from the chamber by means of the suction device.

In the chamber, by means of the suction device, a negative pressure up to a vacuum is alternately generated, by means of which a loosening of dirt in the objects and a removal of loosened dirt particles by means of the suction take place.

The UV source works with a wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation in the non-visible UV-C range, the wavelength being 100 nm and 800 nm, preferably between 100 nm and 300 nm, particularly preferably between 150 nm and 280 nm. The use of infrared radiation is also conceivable.

Air enriched with fragrances can preferably be supplied to the chamber. In this way, the textile or the object to be cleaned can be provided with a pleasant smell.

The device is used to clean textiles and med. Protective equipment or biochem. active material, in particular from objects contaminated with germs, bacteria and fungi, the device having a housing and a chamber arranged in the interior of the housing with a base body for receiving textiles or objects. The device has an air supply, pointing from outside the housing into the interior of the chamber, with at least one heating and / or cooling element extending along the air supply. At least one UV lamp is arranged on the receiving element, the UV lamp being provided for generating UV radiation in such a way that ozone can be generated in the chamber. Furthermore, the device has a suction device for generating a negative pressure in the chamber, whereby the air and dirt particles can be sucked or conveyed out of the chamber, the generated / used ozone being removed by a filter in such a way that cleaned air is expelled.

In an advantageous embodiment, the suction device is dimensioned in such a way that it can generate a vacuum in the chamber. This makes it easier to remove dirt and germs from the textiles, especially if a changing negative pressure is generated.

A feed for silver nanoparticles and / or fragrances is preferably provided on the device. The silver nanoparticles settle in the objects and serve to prevent the growth of viruses and bacteria in the cleaned objects.

The silver nanoparticles and / or fragrances are inserted into the chamber. The silver nanoparticles and / or fragrances are then preferably introduced directly into the cavity (s) formed by the object (s). This is preferably done via the air supply.

The air that can be introduced into the chamber can be heated by means of a heating coil which is arranged around the air supply or cooled by a cooling device. At the end of the air supply on the housing side, a fan is preferably arranged, which sucks in the air and conveys it into the chamber. A combined fan heater can also be used
The suction takes place in a similar way, with a second fan sucking the air out of the chamber and releasing it into the environment.

It is also possible that a heating and / or cooling device is arranged in the chamber and the air supplied is not heated or cooled.

The cleaning cycle can preferably be set by means of a control unit, with individual or all parameters being adaptable. The parameters include the temperature and / or the pressure within the chamber and, if desired, the addition of fragrances and / or the silver nanoparticles. The chamber can also be used for drying the objects. The device uses the spectrum of UV-C light as a UV source, whereby the combination of UV radiation, ozone, temperature programs and the use of vacuum air exchange eliminate bacteria, viruses and fungi. The device can determine the parameters independently by entering properties of the object to be cleaned. These properties include, for example, the type of material, degree of soiling, degree of moisture or the like.

The adjustable temperature programs include the option of heated or strongly cooled air, which is directed to the cleaning locations to be used. The ozone is synthesized directly at the UV-C source, the UV lamp, i.e. synthesized and used in the desired area of application.

The vacuum-air exchange system removes dead and possibly still organisms from the textiles.

The chamber has an antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal effect during the cleaning cycle and reliably cleans the products, starting from the inner area where the UV lamps are located. The air with the ozone penetrates the textiles and thus ensures extremely reliable cleaning and disinfection. The disinfection and cleaning is carried out without the addition of chemicals, which is environmentally friendly and gentle on materials. By using steam, only a small amount of water is necessary for cleaning or smoothing the objects.

The objects such as jackets, smocks, gloves, shoes, face masks for the medical and laboratory area are preferably used for cleaning. However, it is also possible to reliably disinfect other items for medical and laboratory facilities.

The device and the chamber arranged therein are designed in such a way that objects fit into it without problems and without creasing and can be arranged or hung up therein. The dimensions in terms of width, height and depth are preferably 30/125/60 cm,

An increase in the dimensions, for example to an apparatus volume of 2 to 5 m ³ with correspondingly more UV-C or ozone sources with greater pumping and heating power or larger components, has no effect on the effectiveness of the mode of operation. The device should preferably not fall below the dimensions mentioned.

The device according to the invention acts against practically all pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, as well as various types of mites such as house mites and scabies mites and against fungi in the form of athlete's foot or skin fungus according to Tab. 1

Furthermore, organisms are inactivated or destroyed by irradiating objects and clothing with ultraviolet light and / or using ozone. This can be viewed as disinfecting the irradiated area. These microscopic organisms include, for example, spore-forming and non-spore-forming life forms or viruses or bacteriophages or cysts according to Table 1

The device according to the invention is used in particular for disinfecting / killing / eliminating germs from viruses, especially Covid-19 corona viruses or viruses of the SARS family and the microorganisms listed in Table 1, in particular for work clothing or disposable clothing in laboratories and the medical sector.

For this purpose, UV light with a wavelength range of 185 nm to 400 nm, ozone, a temperature of 20-100 ° C., also alternating, a (negative) pressure of 0.1 bar to 5 bar is generated in the device, and thus the objects (e.g. clothing) applied.

It is thus possible for air to be blown into the base body by means of a corresponding pump, which then flows through the base body via the flow openings past the UV-C lamps towards the objects to be cleaned, preferably textiles, and then is discharged into the ambient air via a filter and an air outlet.

Further throughflow openings (without UV-C lamps) can be arranged in the base body, through which air flows out against the objects to be cleaned. Then, if desired, a drying process can also be achieved.

It is also possible for air to be sucked out of the cavity of the base body via a corresponding pump / vacuum pump, the direction of flow is then opposite. If the pump is connected to the base body and air is sucked out of this (and a vacuum is created), the air is sucked from the chamber via the objects on the base body and the UV-C lamps into the cavity of the base body and then conveyed to the outside . As a result, particles (e.g. dirt, pathogens, dead ones) located in the device and on the objects to be cleaned are sucked off.

Overpressure and the underpressure can be generated by one or two separate pumps. Furthermore, in an advantageous embodiment, the device is also suitable for mobile use.

It is also possible to have water vapor or solvent vapors, liquid or gaseous fluids - which contain solvents - flow through the base body, whereby, for example, stains, soiling or impurities can be removed. Furthermore, water vapor can be conducted with overpressure and / or underpressure through the base body and via the through-flow openings to the objects to be cleaned.

The water vapor can also be mixed with a stain solvent if necessary. Under pressure, stains or other contaminants can be effectively removed over and under pressure.

The flowing through of water vapor, solvent vapors, and possibly other suitable fluids, preferably with alternating pressure, in particular negative and positive pressure, can effectively remove stains and other contaminants.

The fact that heated / cooled air in the aforementioned temperature ranges is passed into the chamber by means of the air supply, or the air in the chamber is heated or cooled, that the UVC radiation sources are introduced into the objects or are positioned close to them a better penetration of the objects with the ozone via the air flow introduced directly into the objects and acting on it is guaranteed than with the prior art and a better cleaning effect or disinfection effect and disinfection of bacteria and viruses is achieved.

This effect is further improved if the base bodies for the objects to be cleaned are connected to a chamber-side end of the air supply, and the air flow is divided within the chamber with the base body through which the air flow is passed.

The hollow basic body can for example consist of pipes, pipe sections and / or pipe connecting elements or be composed of them. The projections that adjoin the hollow, for example tubular, base body and / or the additional openings can be formed, for example, from pipe fittings, pipe bends, cross pieces, pipe nipples and the like.

The UV lamps preferably have an external thread which corresponds to the internal thread of the pipes, pipe bends, cross pieces, pipe nipples.

The tubular base body can be screwed, glued, or connected by means of press connectors to the pipe bends, cross pieces, pipe nipples and the like.

The tubular base body and the screw connection elements and pipe connection elements and the like consist, for example, of gunmetal, brass, stainless steel or malleable cast iron or can also be made of plastic.

That the tubular base body and the screw connection elements or the throughflow openings or projections in a base body had a connection thread of 3/4 "to 1 1/4".

The thread for screwing in the UVC light weight is preferably a 1 ¼ inch internal thread. The thread of common UVC lamps fits exactly into the 1 1/4 inch thread.

The pipes, pipe connection elements, connection pieces and the like preferably have an outer diameter of 32 mm.

Alternatively, the hollow base body consists of only one single piece and is manufactured by means of 3D printing or, for example, by injection molding.

In addition to the openings in the base body in the area of the UV lamps, further flow openings can be present.

According to the invention, the device is used to kill bacteria, viruses and fungi, among other things, on or in objects, in particular clothing or protective clothing, protective equipment, for the medical, veterinary or laboratory area and particularly preferably objects in the medical, veterinary or laboratory area.

It is possible here to insert the items to be cleaned from above.

The suction, not shown here, is then as in 1 in the front side panel S2 or in the rear side part S2 arranged, then in the cabinet body 1a there are corresponding air outlets in the rear wall.

In this variant it is indicated that the air duct 4A of the main body 4th provided the first and second adapters 4.5 and 4.6 connect releasably.

Instead of cross struts, one or more plate-like elements can also be located between the side parts S1 , S2 extend.

Such cross struts or plate-like elements can also be used in the variants described above.

Furthermore, it is in accordance 7th possible that, for example, the first adapter 4.5 in the two upwardly extending areas of the air ducts 4.5.1 each has a joint G1 and G2. The area shown here extending vertically upward, for example in an initial position, is thereby around a horizontal axis A1 , A2 designed pivotable, which is indicated by the double arrows. This allows the upper ends of the two air ducts 4.5.1 of the adapter 5 can be pivoted towards and away from one another and thus their spacing can be adapted to the objects to be picked up.

With the device according to the invention, that of the chamber 2 (Main chamber or cleaning chamber) supplied air flow through the channels that are formed by the adapter elements in the chamber and each to a UV radiation source 5 guided.

The number of channels formed in an adapter corresponds to the number of UV radiation sources 5 provided on the adapter

It is therefore also possible to have a base body 4th or adapters are to be provided not only with two, but also with three, four or more upwardly extending branches, each of which directs the air flow to a UV radiation source 5 to lead.

The UV radiation source is preferably located 5 at the air outlet areas of the adapter.

The adapters also form the receptacles for the objects to be cleaned.

The adapters can be designed in such a way that the distance between the upper areas, which accommodate the objects to be cleaned, can be changed.

It is possible to arrange several of the essentially cuboid devices according to the invention next to one another and / or one above the other in the manner of a battery.

The devices can also be connected to one another.

It is also alternatively possible to provide a cabinet body with a pivotable or laterally displaceable door, the chamber / cleaning chamber then being formed in the cabinet body.

Depending on the object to be cleaned, the individual parameters such as pressure, temperature, UV radiation and ozone can be set. When cleaning leather, for example, it is advisable to use the maximum power of the device, while cashmere, for example, should only be treated gently.

In the 5 until 7th a further variant of a device according to the invention is shown. There is no in a cabinet body here 1a the box RB retractable housing 1 provided, but the housing 1 forms the cabinet body 1a . The chamber 2 (Main chamber or cleaning chamber) cannot be pulled out here, but rather in the cabinet body 1a educated. The device thus has a body 1a on in which the chamber 2 (Cleaning chamber) is formed. Here are in the chamber 2 two basic bodies 4th provided for receiving objects, namely a first base body 4.5 to accommodate a pair of shoes or a pair of gloves or protective masks and a second base body 4.6 for holding clothing in the form of shirts, smocks, jackets and the like. The first and second body 4.5 , 4.6 are made hollow and have a non-visible air supply leading through the hollow structure in their interior. The air flow flowing in via a line is per adapter 4.5 , 4.6 can be divided into a first and second air stream and flows to the UV lamps of the adapter, which are not shown here and are not designated 4.5 , 4.6 past. These UV lamps are at the exit areas of the adapters 4.5 , 4.6 arranged so that the out of the adapters 4.5 , 4.6 Exiting air stream flows past the UV lamps.

The first basic body 4.5 branches up into two adapter elements (not designated) with outflow openings (not shown) in which UV-C lamps are arranged and has a size that allows a pair of shoes, gloves, protective masks and the like to be positioned on them so that the UV lamps are at least partially in the objects to be cleaned and that from the first adapter 4.5 Exiting air flow with the ozone formed by the UV lamp penetrates the object and possibly also penetrates it (in the case of textile material).

The second basic body 4.6 is also made hollow and has a bow-shaped design at its upper area, so that a shirt, jacket, smock, objects from Table 2 and the like can be hung over it. For this purpose, extend on the upper area of the second base body 4.4 two laterally pointing away from each other and angled downward projections V with unmarked openings in which the UVC lamps are arranged.

Preferably the second base body 4.6 is, for example, via an upper rail-shaped suspension 13th (please refer 10 ) can be pulled out of the device in the direction of the bold arrow so that clothing or other objects can be better positioned over it. On the opposite projections V of the bow-shaped area there are unmarked outlet openings and a UV lamp inside each end. After picking up the items, the second adapter 4.6 pushed back into the device. During the cleaning process, the air flow is either from above or below into the second hollow adapter 4.6 guided, flows past UV lamps, not shown, and out of the outlet openings in the bow-shaped area. On the lower area of the second base body 4.6 are also two protrusions pointing upwards V intended. These have side slits 4.6 '' on, through which air enriched with ozone into the chamber 2 can flow. In the case of longer items of clothing, this also ensures that the lower area is cleaned if it extends beyond the lower projections V are sufficient.
