The diaper storing deodorizing device 100 in Example 1 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a width (x direction) of about 1000 mm, a height (y direction) of about 930 mm, and a depth (z direction) of about 520 mm. Further, the diaper storage deodorizing apparatus 100 has all the necessary devices mounted on a cart 30 having casters 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d, and can be freely moved by holding a handle 33 and operating it. Specifically, the carriage 30 includes a storage box 10 into which used diapers can be put, a disinfectant solution spraying unit 50 for spraying a disinfectant solution into the storage box 10, and deodorizing by sucking the air in the storage box 10. A deodorizing unit 40 and a battery (not shown) are mounted.

An air outlet 43 and a battery charging port 34 are provided on the left side of the diaper storage deodorizing device 100 . The top surface is flat to hold hand sanitizer, new diapers, and the like.

When the pedal 35 is stepped on, the upper lid 11 of the storage box 10 is opened, and the used diapers D can be put into the storage box 10 from above. In addition, the upper lid 11 can be closed by releasing the pedal 35 . When the upper lid 11 is closed, the inside of the storage box 10 is sealed except for the air inlet hole (not shown). The storage box 10 has a capacity of about 60 liters and can store about 40 diapers. In addition, a 60-liter garbage bag can be installed for convenience when discarding the stored diapers D.

When the upper lid 11 of the storage box 10 is opened, the used diapers D are put in, and the upper lid 11 is closed, disinfectant is sprayed into the storage box 10 from two spray nozzles 13a and 13b installed at the upper portion, as described later. At the same time, odor-laden air is sucked from the wide air suction port 14 installed at the top and led to the deodorizing section 40 via the duct 15 . The spray nozzles 13a and 13b are provided at both ends of the storage box 10 in the depth direction (z direction) toward the center and downward, and the air suction port 14 has a wide suction port between the spray nozzles 13a and 13b. is doing. Since the air in the upper part of the storage box 10 is sucked from the wide suction port in the depth direction, the odor of excrement is prevented from leaking to the outside when the upper lid 11 is opened.

A side cover 20 is provided on the right side of the truck 10 . A power switch 21 , an ozone generation switch 22 , and a display (not shown) are installed on the upper portion of the side cover 20 . When the power switch 21 is operated, power is supplied from the battery to various parts of the diaper storage deodorizing apparatus 100 . Further, by operating the ozone generation switch 22, an ozone generator 44, which will be described later, can generate ozone. In addition, a display (not shown) can be used to monitor the remaining battery level and the like.

Front covers 32a and 32b are provided on the front side of the diaper storing deodorizing apparatus 100 to protect the equipment stored therein. A cover (not shown) is also provided on the rear side to protect the internal equipment, and removing the cover facilitates maintenance of the internal equipment.

The disinfectant solution spraying unit 50 is provided inside the diaper storage deodorizing device 100, and can be maintained by removing the front cover 32a. The disinfectant spray unit 50 guides the disinfectant from the disinfectant tank 51 through a hose (not shown) to the spray nozzles 13a and 13b provided at the top of the storage box 10, and controls the spray to the inside of the storage box 10. be able to. Specifically, it can be controlled to intermittently spray the antiseptic solution. Also, the spraying interval and spraying time can be set or changed by a switch arranged on the front surface of the antiseptic solution spraying section 50 . In Example 1, after the upper lid 11 of the storage box 10 is closed, intermittent spraying is performed for 3 minutes by spraying the disinfectant solution from the spray nozzles 13a and 13b for 5 seconds, and then spraying for 5 seconds at intervals of 5 seconds. controlled as follows. This prevents the odor from leaking out when the upper lid 11 is opened, and also prevents the disinfectant solution from being wasted due to excessive spraying.

As the disinfectant in Example 1, chlorine dioxide water is used. Chlorine dioxide water has a strong sterilizing power and can strongly disinfect diapers. In addition, the odor of human excrement and the active ingredient of the chlorine dioxide solution react with the molecules of the odor, neutralize them, and furthermore control microorganisms including bacteria and fungi that cause the odor. Furthermore, by being sprayed in space, the mist can adhere to floating viruses and bacteria, destroying their cores and causing them to fall.

In Example 1, after the upper lid 11 of the storage box 10 is closed, intermittent spraying is performed by spraying the disinfectant solution from the spray nozzles 13a and 13b for 5 seconds, and then spraying for 5 seconds at intervals of 5 seconds. Although it is controlled to be performed for one minute, it is not necessarily limited to this and can be changed as appropriate. For example, it may be sprayed for 5 seconds and then sprayed for 5 seconds with an interval of 10 seconds, or continuous spraying may be continued for 1 minute without intermittent spraying. Can be set.

Further, in Embodiment 1, the spraying interval and the spraying time are set by the switches arranged on the front surface of the disinfectant spraying part 50, but they are not necessarily limited to this and can be changed as appropriate. For example, a switch provided on the upper surface of the side cover 20 may be used to set the spray interval and spray time, and the switch for setting the spray interval and spray time may be provided at an arbitrary position.

In addition, although chlorine dioxide water is used as the disinfectant in the first embodiment, the disinfectant is not necessarily limited to this and can be changed as appropriate. For example, hypochlorous acid water may be used, other disinfecting solutions may be used, and any disinfecting solution may be used.

The deodorizing section 40 will be explained. The deodorizing section 40 includes an ozone generator 44 , filter sections 42 ( 42 a , 42 b , 42 c , 42 d ) and a fan 43 . As the fan 43 rotates, the air inside the storage box 10 is sucked from the air suction port 14 provided at the top, and the odorous air is led to the deodorizing part 40 via the duct 15. - 特許庁The deodorizing section 40 mixes the ozone generated by the ozone generator 44 with the odorous air. As a result, bacteria and odorous substances are oxidized and destroyed by fusing with oxygen atoms of ozone. Since the remaining two oxygen atoms are O ₂ =oxygen, the only remaining substance after the final sterilization and deodorization is oxygen, which is extremely safe.

The air mixed with ozone is further guided to the filter section 42 (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d). The filter section 42 can have four filters in series, and each filter section 42 a , 42 b , 42 c , 42 d can be individually inserted into or removed from the deodorizing section 40 by opening the deodorizing section door 45 . These four filters may be filters of the same type, or four filters of different types. Also, it is possible to provide an arbitrary number of filters in series, not necessarily four, three or one. In addition, the filter can be provided simply by inserting it, and can be removed by pulling, so that replacement can be easily performed. In Example 1, two types of activated carbon filters and one type of HEPA filter are provided. As a result, the filter unit 42 can absorb and deodorize odorous particles having different particle diameters.

The sterilized and deodorized air is discharged to the outside from an exhaust port 36 provided on the lower side. Fresh air is always supplied to the storage box 10 by deodorizing and sterilizing the air taken in from the air inlet provided in the lower part of the storage box 10 from the upper part of the storage box 10 and discharging it to the outside from the exhaust port 36. - 特許庁It is captured.

In the first embodiment, the air inflow hole (not shown) is provided in the lower part of the storage box 10, but it is not necessarily limited to this and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the air inflow hole may be provided in the upper part of the storage box 10, may be provided in the middle part of the storage box 10, or may be provided in any position of the storage box 10. .

By providing an air inflow hole in the storage box 10, fresh air from the outside is taken into the storage box 10, and the air in the storage box 10 sucked from the top is deodorized by the deodorizing part and discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 36. exhausted. As a result, the air inside the storage box 10 is constantly replaced, and the retention of the odor inside the storage box 10 is alleviated.

Further, since the trolley 30 of the diaper storage deodorizing apparatus 100 is equipped with a battery (not shown), it can be freely moved without worrying about the power cord. This battery can be charged from a charging port 34 provided on the left side of the diaper storage deodorizing device 100 .
