Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air sterilizer which can kill colibacillus or easily remove mildew by incorporating it into a toilet or a kitchen in a house, a train or the like. SOLUTION: In this air sterilizer, an ultraviolet bactericidal light source 9 is arranged inside the body 1 of a sterilizer which is formed in a shape of a box having an air hole in both side walls. Air is made to circulate in the surrounding area of the ultraviolet bactericidal light source 9 while the surrounding area in the longitudinal direction of the ultraviolet bactericidal light source is so arranged to make a reflection surface and support plates 5 and 6 concurrently serving to support the ultraviolet bactericidal light source 9 are arranged at symmetrical positions at both ends of the ultraviolet bactericidal light source 9. Moreover, light shielding plates concurrently serving to shield air are provided at symmetrical positions outside the support plates 5 and 6 to circulate the air in the surrounding area of the ultraviolet bactericidal light source 9 while generating a turbulence.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of an air sterilizer used in a toilet, a kitchen, a train, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a household toilet or a kitchen, for example, a fan is provided to circulate the air in order to purify the air. In a cooking room such as a restaurant or a hospital, a commercial air purifying device combining a fan and an ultraviolet sterilizing light source is provided.

[0003]

However, when the above-mentioned commercial air purifier is used for home use, bacteria such as Escherichia coli and fungi contained in the air can be sterilized, but are expensive, and are generally used. Cannot do it. On the other hand, it is desired to easily incorporate an air sterilizer into a toilet, a kitchen, a train, or the like at home.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to provide an air sterilizer which can be easily incorporated into a toilet, a kitchen, a train or the like at home.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, an ultraviolet sterilizing light source is disposed inside a sterilizing apparatus body having a box shape having ventilation holes on both side walls,
An air sterilization apparatus configured so that air circulates around the ultraviolet sterilizing light source has a reflecting surface around the longitudinal direction of the ultraviolet sterilizing light source of the sterilizing apparatus main body. In addition, a support plate that also serves as a support for the ultraviolet sterilization light source is arranged at symmetrical positions at both ends of the ultraviolet sterilization light source, and a light shielding plate that also functions as a windshield is arranged at symmetrical positions outside the support plates at both ends, and ultraviolet sterilization is performed. The air is circulated around the light source while generating turbulence. It can be easily incorporated into a home toilet, kitchen, train, or the like.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped sterilizing apparatus main body having ventilation holes 2 and 3 on both side walls, which is, for example, 5 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 20 cm long. 4
Is a reflector mounted inside the sterilizer main body 1 and is made of aluminum. The reflector 4 is configured to be located from the upper surface to both side walls.

Reference numerals 5 and 6 denote support plates for supporting the air turbulence and the ultraviolet sterilizing light source, which are supported on the upper wall inside the sterilizing apparatus main body 1, and are provided in a pair at a predetermined interval. I have. Reference numerals 7 and 8 denote sockets fixed to the pair of support plates 5 and 6, and reference numeral 9 denotes an ultraviolet sterilizing light source mounted between the sockets 7 and 8, which is constituted by using, for example, a low-pressure mercury lamp of 4 watts. It is. Reference numeral 10 denotes a light shielding plate which also serves as a windshield and is arranged at symmetrical positions on both ends of the ultraviolet sterilizing light source, and is configured so that air circulates around the ultraviolet sterilizing light source while generating turbulent flow. Reference numeral 11 denotes a cover which supports the light-shielding plate 10 and further covers the lower surface opening of the sterilization apparatus main body 1, and has an inner surface formed as a reflective surface. Reference numeral 11 denotes a fan motor supported on a side wall at one end of the sterilizer main body 1.

Next, the cleaning of air by the above-described air sterilizer will be described. The air sterilizing apparatus according to the present invention is mounted in, for example, a toilet, a kitchen, a train, or the like, and turns on an ultraviolet sterilizing light source and rotates a fan motor. When the fan motor rotates, the air hits the light-shielding plate 10 which also serves as a windshield, and further from a partial opening of the light-shielding plate 10,
It passes between the air turbulence and the support plate which also serves as a support for the ultraviolet sterilizing light source, passes around the ultraviolet sterilizing light source while generating turbulence, and is sterilized by ultraviolet light. Further, since the periphery of the ultraviolet light sterilizing light source is covered with the reflecting plate, the ultraviolet light projected on the reflecting plate is secondarily reflected, and the sterilizing effect of air can be enhanced. When one air sterilizer is used in a household toilet,
Escherichia coli and mold can be sterilized.

[0009]

According to the present invention described above, there is a special effect that it can be easily incorporated into a toilet, a kitchen, a train, or the like at home, and can be effectively sterilized with air.
