{APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING BABY BOTTLE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sterilizer for ultraviolet bottle, and more particularly, An ultraviolet lamp installed in an inner lower portion of the main body; And a shelf disposed on the upper side of the ultraviolet lamp, the shelf having an outer shape corresponding to an inner space of the sterilizer main body, the inside of which has a lattice shape, And a shelf is formed on the shelf so as to prevent the bottle from falling when the shelf is moved or placed in the main body after the washed bottle is inserted, The entrance of the bottle is directed to the bottom of the main body so that the water remaining in the bottle is naturally discharged and the entrance of the bottle is naturally directed toward the ultraviolet lamp to sterilize the inside of the bottle The present invention relates to an ultraviolet bottle bottle sterilizer.

Infants and toddlers, infants, toddlers, toddlers, and toys should always be disinfected before or after use, since infants are generally immune.

In particular, disinfection of baby bottles was done by disinfecting infant products for a certain period of time by disinfecting the infant's water for a certain period of time and then drying it naturally. However, this disadvantage was caused by the safety problem that burning water could be burned, There was a problem that it was cumbersome.

In recent years, there has been a serious problem that environmental hormones are generated in a plastic bottle made of plastic at the time of hot water disinfection to deteriorate the health of infants.

Another disinfecting method for disinfecting a bottle is known as a sterilizer which generates steam to sterilize infant products by the steam. However, in the case of the steam sterilizing type disinfecting machine, the water for obtaining the steam inside the disinfecting machine must be replenished every time before the disinfection, which is also troublesome and inconvenient.

An example of a conventional bottle sickliner is the bottle sickliner disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 20-0190894.

The bottle sterilizer includes: a bottle storage unit in which a bottle insertion port is formed to insert a bottle; A heater which is wound on the outer side of the bottle insertion port to heat the bottle inserted into the bottle insertion port; A temperature sensor installed on an inner bottom surface of the bottle insertion port; A controller for turning on / off the heater and receiving temperature information of the bottle from the temperature sensor; And an ultraviolet generator positioned below the bottle storage unit and generating ultraviolet rays to sterilize the inserted bottle.

The bottle sterilizer was designed to sterilize the bottle by installing an ultraviolet generator that generates ultraviolet rays at the lower side of the bottle storage part. However, since the ultraviolet light of the ultraviolet sterilizing lamp can not be accurately reflected in the bottle, There is a problem.

Another bottle disinfection method is ultraviolet sterilization. Recently, cold cathode fluorecent lamp (CCFL) ultraviolet (UV) devices are mainly used for disinfection.

These sterilizers are not intended to disinfect bottles, but to sterilize containers such as dishes or cups.

In order to disinfect the bottle through the conventional ultraviolet sterilizer, the bottle is placed on a plate-shaped shelf provided inside the sterilizer. In this case, the inlet of the bottle is connected to the sterilizer To be directed toward the ultraviolet ray generating part provided on the upper part of the screen.

However, it takes a long time for the user to put a plurality of bottles on the shelf on the shelf, and when the bottles are stacked on the shelf, the portions that are overlapped or abutted against each other and are not directly exposed to the ultraviolet rays are not sterilized. There is a problem in that it is difficult to keep sufficient space for exposing to the ultraviolet ray while balancing the bottle on the plate-shaped shelf.

Also, even if multiple bottles are erected, if one of the bottles is out of balance, the bottled bottles may fall down sequentially, so when the bottle is raised, it must be careful not to let the bottle fall.

In other words, such a conventional sterilizer can not sterilize the inside of the bottle if the bottle is turned upside down inside the sterilizer, and the sterilizing effect of the bottle is not observed at all. Therefore, in order to sterilize the inside of the bottle, If the remaining water in the bottle is not completely dried, the inside of the bottle may be covered with water, which may cause white stains or the like, which may give a feeling of being unclean to the user using the bottle . Therefore, after the water remaining in the washed bottle is completely dried, the bottle inlet should be placed inside the sterilizer with the inlet facing upward. In addition, when a plurality of baby bottles are placed on a shelf, portions that overlap or abut each other and are not directly exposed to ultraviolet rays are not sterilized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an ultraviolet bottle sterilizer, which is equipped with an ultraviolet ray generating unit in an upper part of a sterilizer so that the entrance of the bottle is directed toward an ultraviolet generator, The present invention aims at solving the troublesome problem that the bottle should not collapse when the bottle is placed on the shelf provided on the shelf and sufficient space must be formed between the bottle and the bottle when the plurality of bottles are placed on the shelf.

In addition, there is a problem that after waiting for a predetermined time to completely dry the residual water in the bottle after completion of the bottle washing, the remaining water in the bottle is not completely dried and the water inside the bottle is dried, And the like.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a sterilizer main body having a space formed therein; An ultraviolet lamp installed in an inner lower portion of the main body; And a shelf disposed on the upper side of the ultraviolet lamp, the shelf having an outer frame corresponding to an inner space of the main body, and a plurality of wires crossing the inner frame, A plurality of drain holes are formed so as to form a plurality of rows and columns in a lattice shape so that water remaining inside the bottle which is placed on the shelf falls through the drain hole to the bottom surface of the main body, A bottle connecting part made of "∩" shaped wire for mounting the bottle is formed so that the inlet of the bottle can be directed to the ultraviolet lamp so that the remaining water is drained and sterilization is performed inside the bottle, Is inserted into the bottle fitting portion, and then, when the shelf is moved or placed in the main body, This to avoid falling, and the lower member formed being formed along the longitudinal direction on both inner walls of the main body on the upper side of the UV lamp; And an upper member spaced apart from the lower member by a predetermined distance and being shorter than the lower member, wherein the shelf support member is disposed at an upper end of the lower member such that both side edges of the outer frame are in close contact with each other, The shelf is slid so that the outer frame is inserted between the lower member and the upper member so that the shelf can be smoothly inserted into the main body and can be separated and fixed. The two side edges of the outer frame are hooked between the lower member and the upper member and are supported on the inner space of the main body so that the bottle can be mounted or separated without detaching the shelf.

In addition, the bottle-fitting portion prevents the feeding bottle from being blocked by the overlapping or abutting bottles that are placed in the heat-affected bottles and the adjacent bottles, and the supply of air is blocked when the bottle and the bottle come in contact with each other And a plurality of the heaters are formed in adjacent rows and zigzags so as to prevent the outer surface of the bottle from being dried.

In addition, the bottle fitting portion is formed on one side of the shelf, and a planar surface portion is formed on the other side of the shelf so that an article requiring sterilization other than a bottle can be placed thereon for sterilization.

In addition, at least one ventilation hole is formed in the upper part of the main body, and air supplied from the fan is injected into the bottle placed on the shelf so that the bottle can be smoothly dried, .

According to the present invention as described above, the bottle is placed on the shelf so that the entrance of the bottle is directed toward the ultraviolet lamp installed in the lower part of the main body. Thus, the remaining water inside the bottle is naturally drained and dried, Sterilization can be performed.

In addition, when the bottle is placed on the shelf, instead of carefully working the bottle so that the bottle does not collapse while the bottle is individually placed on the plate-shaped shelf, only the operation of inserting the bottle into the bottle- Since the bottle is fixed on the shelf, it can be easily and easily put on the shelf and the time can be significantly reduced.

In addition, the bottle-fitting portion is formed in a plurality of intervals at each row of the shelf, and at the same time, the bottles that are placed in the heat adjacent to the bottle placed in the row are overlapped or abutted to prevent the supply of ultraviolet rays to the outer surface of the bottle As a result, the uniformly sterilizing effect can be obtained by uniformly supplying ultraviolet rays to all the bottles placed on the shelf.

In addition, the shelf is configured to be able to be mounted and detached from the main body in a sliding manner, thereby facilitating the washing operation of the shelf and the lowering operation of the bottle.

In addition, since the air supplied from the fan installed in the inner lower part of the main body flows into the bottle which is placed on the shelf, the evaporation of the moisture remaining in the bottle can be induced to increase the drying efficiency, Can be prevented.

On the bottom surface of the main body, a water receiver 13 for collecting the water in the bottle inside the bottom is provided.

In order to prevent water from penetrating into the ultraviolet lamp 20 when the water inside the bottle 50 flows to the bottom surface side of the main body and to prevent the ultraviolet lamp from being damaged or electric shock, It is preferable to carry out the waterproofing treatment. For example, a transparent case may be inserted into an ultraviolet lamp to prevent water from penetrating into the ultraviolet lamp.

The outer shape of the shelf 30 is formed in a shape corresponding to the inner space of the sterilizer main body 10, and a plurality of drain holes are formed in a grid shape inside.

2 to 3 are illustrations of a shelf 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the shelf 30 is provided with an outer frame 31 corresponding to the inner space of the main body 10, A plurality of drains are formed in the frame (31) so as to form a lattice while crossing a plurality of wires (32, 33) so as to form a plurality of rows and columns, so that water remaining in the bottle, which is placed on the shelf, Make sure to drop through the hole to the bottom of the body.

It is preferable that the outer frame 31 and the plurality of wires 32 and 33 are made of a stainless steel material which does not rust easily and does not easily corrode and is excellent in durability.

The shelf (30) is provided with an ∩ shaped bottle insert (34) for storing the bottle. The bottle fitting portion 34 may be formed to have a width corresponding to the inner diameter of the bottle and a height corresponding to the length of the bottle.

The bottle insertion portion 34 is formed on the shelf 30 in a plurality of rows at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction on the shelf so that the plurality of bottles 50 can be stacked on the shelf 30, The stacked bottles are formed in adjacent rows and zigzags so as to prevent overlapping or abutting of the bottles to block the supply of ultraviolet rays to the outer surface of the bottle.

When the shelf 30 is placed on the main body 10, the inlet of the bottle 50 is naturally directed toward the lower portion of the main body 10 so that the water remaining in the bottle is naturally discharged. So that the inside of the bottle can be sterilized and the bottle can be quickly and easily put on the shelf by only inserting the bottle 50 into the bottle fitting portion 34 So that the bottle can be stably fixed to the shelf without collapsing. This can solve the troublesome problem that the user has to carefully prepare the bottles so that they do not collapse on the shelf of one plate shape.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary view of a shelf 30 'according to another embodiment of the present invention. The shelf 30' has an outer shape corresponding to the inner space of the sterilizer body 10, So that a plurality of drain holes are formed in a lattice shape.

In addition, a bottle nipple 34 is formed at one side of the shelf 30 'to hold a bottle, and a nipple that does not fall or stand on the other side of the shelf 30' A planar portion 35 is formed which is flat so as to sterilize an article such as a pincer.

In the shelf 30 'according to another embodiment of the present invention, a bottle is inserted into the bottle insertion portion 34 to sterilize the water while allowing water to be discharged naturally, and the flat portion 35 is provided with a nipple or a tongue It is possible to simultaneously sterilize not only a bottle but also an article such as a nipple and a tongs, by disposing an article other than a bottle that does not need to be erected or set up.

Next, the present invention includes a lower member 12 formed on the inner wall of both sides of the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction and formed on the upper side of the ultraviolet lamp 20; And an upper member (13) spaced apart from the lower member by a predetermined distance and shorter than the lower member.

The lower member 12 and the upper member 13 are formed in the shape of a frame or a bar having a predetermined width and thickness.

6 to 7, when the shelf 30 is to be placed in the main body 10, the shelf 30 is placed on the upper end of the lower member 12 such that both side edges of the outer frame 31 are in close contact with each other The shelf is pushed in and the shelf is slid so that the outer frame is inserted between the lower member and the upper member so that the shelf can be fixed and fixed in the main body smoothly, When the shelf 30 is pulled by a predetermined length, both side edges of the outer frame are hooked between the lower member and the upper member to be supported on the inner space of the main body, There is also an advantage in that the bottle can be placed or separated.

Assuming that only the lower member 12 is formed on the inner wall of the main body, the shelf 30 may be slid along the lower member 12 to be able to be mounted or detached, and stably fixed in the main body, If the shelf 30 is pulled out of the main body for a predetermined length, there is no means for fixing the upper ends of both side edges of the outer frame 31, so that there is a problem that the shelf 30 is detached from the main body.

Assuming that the lower member 12 and the upper member 13 are formed on the inner wall of the main body at predetermined intervals and the lower member 12 and the upper member 13 are formed to have the same length, Since the side edges of the outer frame 31 are fitted into the space between the lower member 12 and the upper member 13 so as to be precisely matched when the inner frame 31 is to be placed in the main body, have.

A lower member 12 is formed on the inner wall of both sides of the main body and an upper member 13 having a shorter length than the lower member is formed on the upper side of the lower member 12 to seat the shelf 30 on the lower member 12 The outer frame 31 is smoothly inserted between the lower member 12 and the upper member 13 so as to facilitate the mounting, separation and fixing work of the shelf 30, and at the same time, The side edges of the outer frame 31 can be held in the main body by the lower member 12 and the upper member 13 so that the bottle can be put on the table without removing the shelf, .

Next, a fan 40 is installed on the inner lower portion of the main body 10, and one or more ventilation holes 14 are formed on the upper portion of the main body 10.

The air supplied to the inside of the main body through the fan 40 flows into the inside of the bottle 50 mounted on the shelf so as to promote the evaporation of the moisture remaining in the bottle and increase the drying efficiency.

Further, hot air in the main body is discharged to the outside through one or more ventilation holes (14) formed on the upper side of the main body, thereby preventing bacterial growth.

The ventilation holes 14 may be formed in a plurality of shapes depending on the capacity of the main body 10 and may be formed in various shapes that can discharge the air inside the main body to the outside of the main body.

Conventionally, in order to maximize the drying efficiency, a high-temperature drying method has been adopted, but recently, a low-temperature drying method has been adopted due to the problem that environmental hormones are released from a bottle.

For such low-temperature drying, a conventional ultraviolet bottle sterilizer is provided with a fan on the upper side of the main body, which is installed for ventilation to continuously suck hot air in the main body and discharge it to the outside.

In addition, since the ultraviolet bottle sterilizer according to the related art is installed on the upper side of the main body of the ultraviolet lamp, the entrance of the bottle is directed upward. If the fan is installed in the lower part of the main body, The air is supplied to the outer circumferential surface of the bottle, and air can not be introduced into the bottle to dry the bottle.

However, the fan 40 according to the present invention is installed for the purpose of supplying air into the lower part of the main body 10 to feed air into the bottle 50, The air is primarily injected into the bottle 50 to evaporate water in the bottle and then discharged to the outside through the ventilation hole 14. The sterilization device is installed in the sterilizer main body, Thereby maintaining a constant temperature and promoting smooth drying of the bottle.

According to the present invention as described above, the bottle is placed on the shelf 30 so that the entrance of the bottle is directed toward the ultraviolet lamp installed in the lower part of the inside of the main body, whereby the remaining water in the bottle is naturally drained and dried It is possible to sterilize the bottle by placing the bottle on the shelf in such a manner that the bottle is placed on the plate-shaped shelf, Since the bottle is fixed to the shelf only by the operation of inserting the bottle into the bottle fitting portion, it is possible to easily and easily stack the bottle, and time can be remarkably reduced. When a plurality of bottles are placed on the shelf, a bottle placed in the heat- Hold them uniformly in all the bottles that are stacked on the shelf by overlapping or not touching each other. So that a uniform sterilization effect can be obtained.

In addition, the conventional sanitizer requires that the user insert a bottle on a shelf that is placed in the main body. For example, five bottles must be put in order to put five bottles while the shelf is separated from the sterilizer main body The bottle can be placed in the main body by putting the bottle in the main body and then putting the bottle into the main body. Thus, it is possible to put five bottles in the main body by only one injection operation, There is an advantage to be able to do.

In addition, since the shelf is configured to be able to be lifted and lowered in a sliding manner from the main body by forming a supporting step along the longitudinal direction on the inner walls on both sides of the main body, the washing operation of the shelf and the work for lowering the bottle can be easily performed. The air supplied from the fan installed in the inner lower part of the bottle flows into the bottle which is placed on the shelf, thereby inducing the evaporation of water remaining in the bottle, thereby increasing the drying efficiency. As a result, There is an effect.
