Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sterilizer, and more particularly to a sterilizer suitable for sterilizing machines in operation.

Conventionally, it is impossible to sterilize food transport conveyors, filling machines, etc. with disinfectants, so this is not done at all. In fact, the foods that are transported and filled in these containers are not sterilized at all because when they are exposed to a sterilizing lamp, they change color and deteriorate in quality.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a sterilizer that can sterilize parts that cannot be sterilized with sterilizers, such as machines that are in operation, and foods that cannot be sterilized with sterilizing lamps. We aim to provide all of the information.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 is a central vertical sectional side view, and FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory diagram of an ozone and ion generating section.

In the figure, 1 is a box-shaped main body with a front part 1a formed into a tapered square shape, all ozone etc. discharge ports 2 are provided, an air suction port 3 is provided in the bottom part 1b, and the top part 1c is detachable with 25 screws etc. . Reference numeral 4 denotes a valve plate which is attached in front of the ozone etc. discharge port 2 to adjust the amount of ozone etc. discharged, and a discharge port 4a of a required diameter is provided in the center. Reference numeral 5 denotes a handle provided on the outer surface of the top portion 1c of the box-shaped main body 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a fan disposed facing the air suction port 3 provided at the bottom 1b of the box-shaped main body 1, and is driven to rotate by a drive motor 7. 8 is ozone to generate ozone and ions,
Dust is removed from the ion generating part by a high voltage transformer 9 fixed to the inner surface of the top 1C of the box-shaped main body 1 that can boost the voltage to about 12,000 V, and a support 10 to the ozone etc. discharge port 2 in the box-shaped main body 1. A metal rod 11 that is easily generated by high-pressure discharge and is supported parallel to the position of , and a metal foil 12 such as a tin foil pasted on the inside of the surface facing the metal rod 11 made of Pyrex heat-resistant glass or the like. The conductor 1 is connected to the glass tube 13 and the glass tube, and the metal rod 11 and the metal foil 12 such as tin foil are used as polarities to cause a high voltage discharge between them.
4.15'e, each of which is connected to the high voltage transformer 9. In addition, the metal rod 11 and the glass tube 13
It is desirable that the gap between the two cylinders be two cylinders or less. Reference numeral 16 denotes a support base that supports the box-shaped main body 1 so as to be able to move up and down.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained. A high voltage discharge is generated between the foil 12 and the foil 12. Ozone is generated by this high-pressure discharge, and ions are also generated simultaneously by the action of the high-pressure discharge and the metal rod 11. still,
Since the generated ozone and ions use alternating current as a power source, both + and - ozone and ions are generated. The generated ozone and ions are discharged from the ozone etc. discharge port '2 by driving the fan 6 facing the air suction port 3 provided at the bottom 1b of the box-shaped main body.

If the thus released ozone or the like is sprayed onto operating machinery, such as a food conveyor or foods loaded thereon, these can be sterilized.

Furthermore, in the present invention, as soon as ozone is generated, it is released by the fan 6, so that the ozone can be sent out before it is decomposed. Moreover, since the concentration does not exceed a certain level (0.1 ppm) at which the charge of ozone and the charges of + and - ions are neutralized, it can be used safely even in a closed room. Furthermore, if all creeping discharge methods are used to generate ozone, the generation and decomposition will take place between the electrode and the discharge surface, making it impossible to achieve a sufficient sterilizing effect.
Furthermore, since it becomes rusty until the ozone concentration reaches a certain level, it is dangerous to use it in a closed room, so it cannot be used. Also.

In order to prevent floating bacteria from being sucked in or forced to be fed, the diameter of the outlet 4a of the valve body 4 is changed to weaken the force of the emitted ozone without reducing the air flow of the fan 6.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration 2, it can be easily carried out by simply spraying ozone generated by an ozone generator onto a machine in operation, such as a food conveyor and the food loaded on the food conveyor. Can be sterilized. Additionally, machines that are in operation have a charge of 10,000, so they are easily charged with static electricity.

For this reason, all dust is easily absorbed, but static electricity can be removed because all ions are neutralized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent dust from adhering to the machine, and it is particularly suitable for use in machines used in food production. In addition to the above, the present invention also applies, for example, to sterilized baked goods by directly spraying them on naturally cooled baked goods after baking, or miso,
Spray soy sauce on steamed soybeans before putting them into the fermentation room to cool and sterilize them? It has a wide range of uses, such as being able to be used for various purposes, and is highly effective in practical use.
