Description

[Detailed description of the invention] TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to a portable sterilization device.

The human body and its surroundings are a breeding ground for germs.

Regarding the human body, the oral cavity is one example.

Also, when we look at human surroundings, for example, in a house, the plumbing area, especially the kitchen, is an example of this.If such mold is left untreated, various problems will occur.

In the oral cavity, fungal bacteria cause dental caries and alveolar ram. In addition, dentists and other people engaged in oral treatment may be affected by bacterial infections, hepatitis, etc. due to bacteria resident in the oral cavity. The reality is that it is nearly impossible for dentists and others to protect themselves by using rubber gloves and creams, and no countermeasures can be taken.

In addition, in the kitchen, cutting boards etc. can become a breeding ground for mold, especially
In the summer, there is a risk of food poisoning.

This invention was made in consideration of the following circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a portable sterilizer that can easily perform sterilization.

a sterilizing radiation emitting section, such as an ultraviolet ray emitting section, a sterilizing radiation light source, e.g. an ultraviolet light source, and a sterilizing radiation emitting unit, which guides the ultraviolet rays from the sterilizing radiation light source to the sterilizing radiation emitting section. It has a guide section.

This portable sterilizing device preferably has a sterilizing radiation emitting unit, such as a sterilizing radiation emitting unit, which can be attached to and removed from the handle. It can be used for multiple purposes as a sterilizing radiation emitting unit by preparing various adapters for each purpose.

An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a portable sterilization device for dentists will be described below.

Fig. 1 shows the case where this embodiment is used for the whole oral cavity. In Fig. 81, a sterilizing radiant light source such as an ultraviolet light source (2) and a guide (3) are provided in the handle (+). .

The ultraviolet light source (2) can be turned on and off by a switch (4) formed on the outer periphery of the handle (1). One end of the handle (1) is tapered, and its tip (Ia
) is formed with a male thread. The female threaded portion of the intraoral wide area adapter (5) is screwed and fixed to this male threaded portion. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this adapter (5) has a shape that fits well within the oral cavity.

The ultraviolet rays transmitted through the guide (3) are then irradiated into the oral cavity through the adapter (5).

This adapter (5) is suitable for sterilizing the entire area within one oral cavity, and dentists and the like can safely perform medical treatment using this portable sterilizing device.

Further, in this embodiment, dental treatment can be performed using the adapter (5) shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5FllJt-J, and FIG. 6. FIG. 4 is for example for polymerization of filled resin, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are for intracaecal use. Furthermore, by using the adapter (5) shown in FIG. 7, the inside of the root canal can be sterilized and root canal treatment can be performed.

The adapter (5) shown in FIG. 7 has a replaceable tip (5a), and the tip (5a) can be replaced for each patient, making it sanitary.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to oral cavity cleaning at home. Portions corresponding to those in the example in FIG. 1 are designated by corresponding reference numerals, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this example, a toothbrush part (8) is screwed to the handle (1). The ultraviolet rays are irradiated onto the hair body (6a) side as shown by the arrow, so that the inside of the oral cavity can be sterilized during brushing. Further, in this embodiment, instead of the toothbrush part (6), the plate part (7) can be fixed with screws, and sterilization can be carried out with ultraviolet rays irradiated as shown by the arrow.

As explained above, according to the present invention, sterilization can be easily performed. In addition, although the above-mentioned example referred to sterilization in the oral cavity, the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example 1. By enlarging the brush portion as shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to sterilize the cutting board while brushing it.
