[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sterilization container, and more particularly to a sterilization container for easily and effectively sterilizing a scalpel and other surgical tools used in medical treatment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Surgeons and dentists use various scalpels and other therapeutic instruments for their treatment. For example, for syringes and surgical instruments, high-pressure steam sterilization (120 ° C., 20 minutes) is performed in an autoclave. )It is carried out. As the sterilization measures, there are physical methods such as an ultraviolet irradiation sterilization method and a heat sterilization method. As the chemical methods, phenol oxidizing agents, alkylating agents, heavy metal compounds, alcohols,
There is a method using a surfactant or the like, and various methods are used depending on the purpose. Thus, in dental treatment, it is used as a simple means to disinfect a surgical instrument by immersing it in alcohol, but alcohols have a relatively weak sterilizing effect and have been used many times. There is a disadvantage that the sterilization effect is reduced.

[0003]

[Purpose] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and in particular, is as easy to use as conventional alcohol disinfection in dental treatment, and more effective than conventional alcohol disinfection. The object of the present invention is to provide a sterilization container that can be sterilized in a controlled manner.

[0004]

[Structure] The present invention provides (1)
Consisting of a bottomed and watertight cylindrical container and transparent in the center
A germicidal lamp storage part surrounded by a simple container,
The cylindrical container having a reflective cover on top of the
A germicidal lamp disposed in the lamp housing.
A sterilizing solution is applied to the space between the outer wall of the storage part and the inner wall of the cylindrical container.
That enables accommodating the fine treatment device, further, (2) the killing
The transparent container forming the fungus lamp storage part is the cylindrical container
The transparent container is integrally formed, and the lower part of the transparent container is cylindrical.
It is opened to the outside of the container to form the germicidal lamp storage section.
It is characterized by that. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a structural view for explaining an embodiment of a sterilizing container according to the present invention. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical bottomed container, and a sterilizing lamp 2 is provided in the center of the container 1. It is erected,
A space 3 is provided between the germicidal lamp 2 and the inner wall of the container 1, and a therapeutic tool 10 requiring disinfection is inserted into the space 3 from above. Therefore, when the device 10 used for the treatment is inserted into the space 3 after use, bacteria and the like attached to the device are effectively sterilized by the light from the germicidal lamp 2. In this case, if the space 3 is configured to be watertight and an alcohol solution or the like is filled therein, sterilization by the germicidal lamp 2 can be performed in addition to the conventional alcohol disinfection. Further, the wall surface of the cylindrical body 1 is
In this case, the reflected light can be used for sterilization, and the back side of the device (the side to which the light from the germicidal lamp does not directly hit) can also be sterilized. In addition, germicidal lamp 2
May be erected directly in the center of the container 1 as shown in the figure, but if this is done, there is a risk that the germicidal lamp 2 may be hit by a tool or the like and break the germicidal lamp. 2 may be protected by a transparent container, or may be protected by a translucent member 5 such as a wire mesh. In the case shown,
Although the example in which the ballast 6 for the germicidal lamp 1 is disposed in the container has been described, the ballast may be attached to the lower side of the bottom plate of the container. Etc. can be eliminated.

FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of a case where the above-mentioned container is formed by press working or the like. As shown in FIG. By integrally forming 1c and the like, the germicidal lamp 2, the stabilizer 6, and the like can be disposed outside the cylindrical container 1, and the watertightness of the container 1 can be further ensured. . However, in this case, the material of the container 1 must be a transparent material, and the outer peripheral surface of the outer wall 1a must be provided with a reflective film 4 or the like so that light in the container does not leak to the outside. . Further, it is necessary to prevent the light from the germicidal lamp 2 from touching human eyes as much as possible. Therefore, it is preferable to provide a reflective cover 7 above the germicidal lamp 2, and the reflective cover 7 allows the light from the container 1 to be removed. Light that leaks upwards can be effectively returned into the container and used as germicidal light. Further, in order to block the light emitted upward from the space 3 of the container 1, it is sufficient to cover the upper part of the space as much as possible, and a cover member 11 as shown in FIG. If the device 10 is inserted into the space 3 from the portion 11a, light leaking upward from the container 1 can be reduced.

FIG. 4 is a view showing an example of an effective container used for sterilizing a small object such as a cutting bar used in dental treatment by placing it in the container. The container 12 is a transparent container, It is preferably constituted by a container having a small hole 12a, and an arm 12b for placing the container 12 in the container 1 and suspending the container 12 is provided at an upper portion, and this arm 12b is provided on the outer wall 1a of the container. Put it on the top. In this way, if you put it in space 3,
Small objects that cannot be taken out are put in the container 12 and put in the space 3 as described above, whereby sterilization can be performed. In particular, when a small hole 12a is made in the container 12, the disinfectant in the space 3 enters the container 12 from this hole, and sterilization can be performed more effectively.

[0008]

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, with a simple configuration and using the same manner as a conventional alcohol sterilizer, for example, alcohol sterilization and sterilization
By using sterilization with a lamp together , the treatment tool can be more effectively sterilized.
