Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for sterilizing a keyboard when a personal computer is in a dormant state.

  In recent years, PCs are used for various purposes, but in situations where the keyboard-touching hand of the computer touches various objects and other people touch the keyboard, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Cocci or other bacteria adhere. It is extremely unhealthy that many people eat and drink with this hand every day.

  Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the keyboard is sometimes cleaned finely by using an antiseptic solution occasionally.

  Further, there is provided an apparatus in which a quadrilateral cover made of a short soft film is provided on a reinforcing side, a reinforcing side is formed in a band shape, and a lower surface is provided with a double-sided tape. (For example, Patent Document 1)

  Registered Utility Model No. 3100075

However, the above system has the following problems.
In Patent Document 1, it is to prevent invasion of dust and the like, and bacteria and viruses in the keyboard, and the keyboard work is performed from the front of the cover and is effective for the hygiene of the operator. It is intended only for the life of the keyboard.

    In view of the above-described problems, the present invention provides an apparatus capable of sterilizing E. coli and various bacteria by irradiating the keyboard portion with a germicidal lamp for a certain period of time while the personal computer keyboard is in an idle state.

  In order to achieve the above object, a box-shaped cover that covers a keyboard of a personal computer is formed, and a germicidal lamp device is provided inside the previous box-shaped body. The sterilization line of the germicidal lamp irradiates the keyboard in the cover, and the cover is provided with a material that does not leak the germicidal line of the germicidal lamp to the outside, so that the bacteria on the keyboard are killed after a certain time. To do.

In addition, a ventilation fan device is provided in a vent hole that does not leak the germicidal line irradiation of the germicidal lamp at one end of the side surface of the cover, and a personal computer is prevented from obtaining heat by providing a germicidal lamp turn-off timer. Features.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

  The present invention covers the entire keyboard of a personal computer and has a bactericidal effect such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Shigella, Staphylococcus, Bacillus subtilis, or Mycobacterium tuberculosis by irradiation with a germicidal lamp for a short time. Therefore, in a workplace where many personal computers are used, one keyboard sterilization device can be used in order to make everyday personal computer work comfortable and maintain the health of workers.

Moreover, the effect which does not generate | occur | produce the trouble of a personal computer is acquired by providing a ventilation hole ventilation fan apparatus and a cut-off timer. In addition, the effect of sterilizing power is increased because the humidity is lowered by the ventilation action.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1, 2 and 3 are views of a first embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a state in which the keyboard sterilization apparatus of the present invention is to be put on a keyboard of a personal computer. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA 'in the keyboard sterilizing apparatus of FIG. FIG. 3 is a circuit configuration diagram of the keyboard sterilizer of FIG.

In the first embodiment, reference numeral 1 in the figure is the keyboard sterilization apparatus of the present invention. The external material of the keyboard sterilization apparatus 1 is a material that does not transmit light, which is a sterilization line, 2 is a PC display, and 3 is a PC keyboard. 4 is a vent hole for avoiding heat accumulation in a personal computer (PC), and is provided on both sides. Referring to FIG. 3 as a circuit configuration, 13 is a power plug for commercial AC power, and 5 is a main power switch for the entire circuit. Reference numeral 6 denotes an energization indicator lamp of a power source that indicates on / off of the main power switch 5, and 7 is a germ lamp that kills bacteria of the PC keyboard 3. 8 is a ballast, 11 is a glow lamp, and 12 is a condenser.
Reference numeral 9 in FIG. 2 denotes a universal protective cover provided so that the keyboard germicidal lamp device 1 can be easily installed on the connecting portion of the PC display 2 and the PC keyboard 3 when the keyboard germicidal lamp device 1 is installed so as to cover the PC keyboard 3. 17 is a take.

Therefore, the keyboard sterilization apparatus 1 is installed so as to cover the entire keyboard 3 of the personal computer with the above configuration. The power plug 13 is connected to a commercial AC power source. When the main power switch 5 is turned on and the energization indicator lamp 6 is lit, the sterilization lamp 7 is lit and the sterilization line radiates to the PC keyboard 3. E. coli, typhoid, Shigella, staphylococcus, Bacillus subtilis, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bird type) are bacteria that have adhered to the PC keyboard 3 under various conditions by radiating germicidal radiation to the PC keyboard 3 for a certain period of time. It is possible to obtain an effect of sterilizing such bacterial species.
In addition, when the energization indicator lamp 6 is lit, it indicates that the sterilization lamp 7 is lit and is irradiating the bacteria line, and is dangerous to the human body (eyes). Sometimes it is urged to turn off the main power switch 5.

4 and 5 show a second embodiment. FIG. 4 is a circuit configuration diagram in which the circuit of FIG. 3 includes a motor for a ventilation fan, a timer device, and a protection switch.
FIG. 5 is a bottom view of a configuration in which the circuit configuration is assembled inside the box-like pair of the keyboard sterilizer 1 as viewed from below.

Reference numeral 14 in the figure denotes a protection switch, which is a switch that immediately turns off the energization when the keyboard sterilizer 1 is lifted and removed while the sterilization line 7 is being irradiated with the sterilization line.
Reference numeral 15 denotes a timer that can be turned off after a predetermined time by setting an energization time. Reference numeral 16 denotes a fan motor for forcibly discharging the heat in the box-shaped body by rotating the fan while the keyboard sterilizer 1 is operating.
In the description of these embodiments, the same reference numerals of the same components as those of the first embodiment of the present invention are not repeated.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, the protective switch 14 is in a standby state by mounting the keyboard sterilizing apparatus 1 on the PC keyboard 3 in the same manner as described above with the above-described configuration. When the main power switch 5 is turned on, the fan motor 16 is driven to forcibly ventilate and improve the environment in the keyboard sterilizer 1. Here, by setting the set time by the timer 15, the energization indicator lamp 6 is turned on, the germicidal lamp 7 is turned on, and the germicidal line irradiation is performed for the set time.
Further, when the energization indicator lamp 6 is lit and sterilizing, the protection switch 14 is turned off even if the keyboard sterilizing device 1 is removed so that the human body (eyes) is not adversely affected. Is.

  It is a figure which shows the 1st Example of this invention, and is a perspective view of the state which covers the keyboard sterilizer 1 of this invention on the PC keyboard 3, and is going to mount | wear.   It is sectional drawing of AA 'in the keyboard inhalation apparatus 1 of FIG.   It is a circuit block diagram of the keyboard sterilizer of a 1st Example.   It is a circuit block diagram of the keyboard sterilizer of a 2nd Example.   It is the bottom view seen from under the keyboard sterilizer 1 in the state where the circuit of the 2nd example was built.
