Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the sterilizing dryer for knife according to the invention will be described in detail.

1 is a perspective view of a sterilizing dryer for knife according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a view for explaining the internal configuration of the sterilizing dryer for knife 1 of FIG.

As shown, the sterilizing dryer for knife according to the present invention, the body 10 is formed with a space portion 11 therein; It is installed on the upper portion of the body 10, the mounting frame 20 formed with a plurality of knife grooves 21; It is installed on the body 10 or the mounting frame 20, sterilization drying unit 30 for sterilizing and drying the knife (K) mounted on the mounting frame 20; characterized in that it comprises a.

Body 10, the mounting frame 20 is detachable, the space portion 11 is formed therein. The body 10 is preferably coated with a photocatalyst having an antimicrobial, antibacterial, deodorant, organic effect, etc. by ultraviolet rays on the inner wall.

The upper surface of the body 10 is provided with a control surface 12, the control surface 12 is operated on the switch 13 and the switch 13 for operating the ultraviolet sterilization dryer of the present application sterilization drying unit 30 A control unit (not shown) for controlling the is installed.

In addition to the knife groove 21, the mounting frame 20 further includes a scissors groove 22 in which scissors or knife blades are fitted. Since the mounting frame 20 is installed obliquely at an approximately 30 ° angle, the knife can be mounted obliquely on the mounting frame 20.

At this time, the mounting frame 20 is preferably detached from the upper portion of the body (10). That is, in the process of repeatedly mounting the knife on the mounting frame 20, the inner circumferential surface of the knife groove 21 in contact with the knife (k) is pitted by the blade, the environment in which bacteria breed when the foreign body is caught in the dent. This can be formulated and the knife can be contaminated by bacteria when it is placed through another knife. For this reason, it is necessary to replace the mounting frame 20 when the inner circumferential surface of the knife groove 21 is broken by the blade, and for this purpose, the mounting frame 20 is detachable from the body 10.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sterilization drying unit of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a side view of the sterilization drying unit of FIG. 3.

As shown, the sterilization drying unit 30 is to sterilize and dry the blade mounted on the knife groove 21 of the mounting frame, the upper portion of the body 10 or the mounting frame 20, in this embodiment a mounting frame Bracket 31 is fixed to the 20, the ultraviolet ray generating portion 32 provided on the upper side of the bracket 31, and the planar heating element 33 provided on the lower side of the bracket (31).

The bracket 31 is bent from the fixing bracket 31a fixed to the mounting frame 20, the intermediate bracket 31b which is bent from the fixing bracket 31a and extends downward, and the intermediate bracket 31b. It consists of the inclined bracket 31c. At this time, the fixing bracket 31a is formed with a coupling protrusion 31d to which a bolt (not shown) penetrating the mounting frame 20 is coupled.

The ultraviolet generation part 32 is provided in the fixing bracket 31a, and the ultraviolet-ray for sterilizing the knife K is irradiated. In this case, the ultraviolet generation unit 32 preferably irradiates not only ultraviolet rays for sterilization but also ultraviolet rays for converting oxygen in the air into ozone. Therefore, the ultraviolet generation unit 32 is implemented as an ultraviolet ozone lamp for generating ultraviolet light in the range of 180nm ~ 280nm including the wavelength of ultraviolet light for ultraviolet rays and ozone for sterilization. In this embodiment, a 253.7 nm ultraviolet (sterilization line) produced and sold by Semyung Techron Co., Ltd. in Korea, and an ultraviolet ozone lamp generating 184.9 nm ultraviolet for ozone generation are used.

The planar heating element 33 generates infrared rays for drying and heats the air inside the body 10. To this end, the planar heating element 33 includes a first planar heating element 33a installed on the intermediate bracket 31b and a second planar heating element 33b installed on the inclined bracket 31c.

At this time, in order to increase the drying efficiency, the air heated in the body 10 should be convection. To this end, the first planar heating element 33a has a plurality of mountains 33a 'and valleys 33a "for increasing the contact area with air, and the height of the mountains 33a' is shown in FIGS. As shown, it becomes larger toward the upper side based on the intermediate bracket (31b).

This has a very important technical meaning. That is, in the first surface heating element 33a, the air heated in the hill and the valley formed on the lower side of the middle bracket 31b rises, and the height of the mountain 33a 'increases toward the upper side, as shown in FIG. 4. Likewise, the air heated on the lower side is heated hotter as it contacts the acid on the upper side, and this process is repeated and further heated toward the upper side. That is, since the air at the lower side of the first planar heating element 33a is rapidly heated toward the upper side, the air rises more rapidly at the upper side, and as shown in FIG. 2, the direction of the arrow in the body 10 is increased. F) (F ') creates natural air convection.

In this way, since the air heated inside the body 10 is naturally convection without employing a configuration such as a separate fan that is electrically operated, the water buried in the knife K can be quickly dried.

On the other hand, the second surface heating element 33b is installed on the inclined bracket 31c. The second planar heating element 33b heats air primarily, and this air is heated secondly in the first planar heating element 33a, so that the air can be quickly heated. That is, the second surface heating element 33b increases the heating efficiency of the air.

The planar heating element 33 has a large heat generating area up to several hundred times compared to a linear or rod-like heating element such as nichrome wire, and has a high temperature rising speed and high thermal efficiency, and can be manufactured at a light weight with a uniform temperature distribution. have.

On the other hand, the second surface heating element 33b is attached with a reflecting plate 34 for reflecting the ultraviolet rays irradiated from the ultraviolet generating portion 32 with the knife K.

In the case of the present invention, since the ultraviolet generation unit 32 is installed in the fixing bracket 31a, it is located on the upper side inside the body 10. Therefore, the knife mounted on the knife groove 21 is divided into a portion near and far from the ultraviolet generating portion 32, and the knife near the portion near the ultraviolet generating portion 32 is effectively sterilized, but the portion far away has a small amount of ultraviolet irradiation. It is not sterilized. In order to compensate for this, the reflection plate 34 is installed on the upper surface of the second surface heating element 33b installed on the oblique inclined bracket 31c, and the ultraviolet rays generated from the ultraviolet generation unit 32 are returned to the lower side of the knife K. This is to reflect, thereby increasing the sterilization efficiency of the portion of the knife far away from the UV generating portion (32).

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom.
