  The present invention relates to a small-sized disinfecting deodorizer, and more particularly, to a small-sized disinfecting deodorant for automobiles.

  As a method of deodorizing the inside of a car such as a taxi, a method of opening a window when a bad smell such as a cigarette smell is muffled is taken. However, the method of opening the window can reduce the odor, but it is difficult to completely remove the odor, and the noise caused by running from the outside, and the cold and moisture in the winter or during the rainy season can enter. There is. For this reason, it is preferable to decompose odor components or to remove bacteria in a closed state.

  In recent years, a titanium oxide-based photocatalyst has been developed, and attempts have been made to apply the titanium oxide-based photocatalyst to a disinfection and deodorization apparatus for automobiles. In this case, either interior space is arranged so that any order is limited is a problem. For example, a vehicle interior deodorizing device placed behind a rear seat of a vehicle (Patent Document 1) and a vehicle air purification device fitted to a dashboard at the front of the vehicle (Patent Document 2) are disclosed. However, it does not appear to have been put to practical use yet. This may be because various belongings are placed on the dashboard, and when placed on the rear seat, it is obstructive.

The present inventor has paid attention to the place where canned beverages are provided beside the driver's seat based on the above-mentioned current situation. This place is not always used, but is used only for a relatively short time according to the original design. Even if this place is used for other purposes, there is no problem if it is possible to put canned drinks or bottled drinks aside for a while if necessary.
In addition, it can be expected that the disinfecting deodorizer having the dimensions of cans or bottles is effective not only in vehicles, but also for disinfecting and deodorizing indoors and refrigerators.

  The purpose of the present invention is to measure the size of beverage containers in cans or bottles, and is a small-sized sterilization deodorizer that is effective for disinfection and deodorization in cars, indoors, refrigerators, washrooms, etc., and for maintaining freshness in refrigerators. Is to develop.

That is, the present invention provides (1) a small-sized disinfecting and deodorizing apparatus comprising at least one ultraviolet light source, a photocatalyst filter, a motor fan, and an entrance / exit inside a cylindrical or bottle-shaped container.
(2) In (1), the cylindrical or bottle-shaped container has a diameter of 60 to 80 mm and a height of 100 to 200 mm.

(11) In (1) and (2), the motor fan is provided near the air outlet.
(12) In (1) and (2), the motor fan is provided near the air inlet.

In the present invention, the reason for using a cylindrical container having a diameter of 60 to 80 mm and a height of 100 to 200 mm is the size of a can used for canned coffee, canned cocoa, canned black tea, canned green tea, and the like. Is limited to this range, which is advantageous in the present invention utilizing the space for placing the can. As another method, in the present invention, the reason why a bottle type container having a diameter of 60 to 80 mm and a height of 100 to 200 mm is used is that bottled soft drink, bottled green tea, bottled juice and the like are widely used. Because there is.

In the present invention, the reason why the air inlet is formed on the side of the cylindrical or bottle-shaped container is that the small-sized disinfecting deodorizer is placed with the bottom face down, and it is not preferable for air to enter and exit from the bottom face. The air outlet preferably has an upper or side surface.
The filter carrying the photocatalyst is preferably provided in parallel with the bottom of the cylinder or the bottle. Air enters at the bottom side and exits at the top of the can or bottle or the top side of the can. In this case, the air flows upward from below the can or bottle, and it is preferable to provide a filter supporting the photocatalyst at right angles to the flow.

As the photocatalyst used in the present invention, a photocatalyst represented by titanium oxide is used. The photocatalyst is preferably covered with ceramics or the like, and is precipitated on the surface of a nonwoven fabric made of organic fibers such as polyester fibers or glass fibers. The nonwoven fabric having such a photocatalyst is preferably supported by being sandwiched between two metal nets or plastic nets. In this case, the nonwoven fabric needs to be porous. This is because air needs to flow through the nonwoven layer having a photocatalyst.

In order to activate the photocatalyst and restore the function, an ultraviolet light source using near ultraviolet light is used. This is because the titanium oxide has a very high activity when irradiated with near ultraviolet rays of 300 to 400 nm. The ultraviolet light source is preferably provided in the middle of the filter carrying two photocatalysts. This is because the ultraviolet source can irradiate both the upper and lower sides.

In the present invention, it is preferable to provide a fan in the small-sized disinfecting deodorizer to improve the air flow. The installation location of the fan is preferably near the air outlet or inlet of the small-sized sterilization and deodorizer.

It is preferable to use a cigarette lighter socket as a power supply for the fan. This is because they are used less frequently and have little effect on the original performance of the vehicle.
When used in general households such as kitchens and washrooms, an AC 100V power supply can also be used. In the refrigerator, a system using a battery is preferable.
