As shown in FIG. 4, the battery B is installed inside the base container 11 to supply power for ultraviolet sterilization. The battery B may be a rechargeable type, It is possible. The PCB module 20 includes a circuit (not shown) for raising the low voltage of the battery B to a high voltage or generating a high frequency to operate the ultraviolet lamp 21.

The container unit 10 has a flat cylindrical shape with a diameter of about 10 cm and has a base container 11 and a cover 12 connected to each other by a hinge h to be opened or closed.

3, the PCB module 20 is provided with an ultraviolet lamp 21 for irradiating germicidal ultraviolet rays of a wavelength range of 190 to 290 nm with a window 40 to be described later, . At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 21 has a tube shape for generating ultraviolet rays by inducing a discharge in the glass tube. In this embodiment, the ultraviolet lamp 21 is exemplified as a small ultraviolet lamp having a length of about 3 cm .

On the other hand, the ultraviolet lamp 21 irradiates sterilizing ultraviolet rays, but releases ozone by releasing oxygen of nearby air, and this ozone is used to sterilize the puff P as described later.

The flange 30 is coupled with the window 40 to form a receiving space S in which the puff P is received, as shown in Figs. The flange 30 includes a partition frame 32 formed on the outer side of the opening 31 and a stepped step 33 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lower side of the partition frame 32. By the structure of the flange 30, the window 40 is seated in the step 33 and fixed in position, and the space S in which the puff P is received between the window 40 and the partition frame 32 .

The window 40 is fixed at the step 33 of the flange 30 and fixed so as to form an accommodation space S in which the puff P is accommodated and at the same time the ultraviolet light irradiated from the ultraviolet lamp 21 is guided to the puff P, . The window 40 is made of a material having a high ultraviolet transmittance, for example, quartz, glass, or a transparent resin.

3, the window 40 includes a plurality of spaced apart protrusions 41 protruding from the surface, in this embodiment, four spaced apart protrusions 41. As shown in Fig. The plurality of spacing projections 41 separate the puff P from the surface of the window 40 so that cosmetics or foreign matter adhering to the puff P adhere to the surface of the window 40 to decrease transparency, Thereby preventing the transmittance from being lowered. Also, the spacing protrusions 41 form a space through which ozone flowing through the channel channel 70, which will be described later, flows, and the flowing ozone penetrates into the surface of the puff P and is not irradiated with ultraviolet rays The ozone is sterilized, and further, the vapor evaporated from the puff P forms a space for flowing in the aeration flow passage 80 to be described later. That is, the spacing protrusions 40 prevent the surface of the window from being contaminated by cosmetics or foreign matter and provide a space for allowing the ozone to flow through the channel channel 70 and a space for evaporating vapor from the puff P, To form a space to be flowed.

The ultraviolet lamp 21 generates not only ultraviolet light and ozone but also heat as well as heat which heats the window 40 to heat air in the space between the window 40 and the puff P, For example, perspiration on the face during make-up, and moisture absorbed from the air during storage. At this time, the evaporated moisture is discharged to the outside through the space formed by the spaced projections 41 and the air flow path 80. As a result, the puff P is always kept in a state of being smoother, so that it is possible to provide comfort at the time of use and at the same time to ensure sterilization.

3, the reflector 50 reflects the ultraviolet light irradiated toward the rear side of the ultraviolet lamp 21 to the window 40 to enhance the sterilizing efficiency of the puff P. The ultraviolet lamp 21, as shown in FIG. 3, And a reflection surface 52 for reflecting the ultraviolet rays irradiated to the rear side to the window 40 side so as to be seated and fixed on the upper side of the PCB module 20. [

The operation indicator LED 60 emits light when the ultraviolet lamp 21 is operated or when the charging ability of the battery B is lowered and when the user operates the ultraviolet lamp 21 to check whether sterilization is proceeding , So that the battery B can be recognized when the charging ability of the battery B is lowered.

The flow channel 70 forms a flow path for flowing the ozone generated from the air by the ultraviolet lamp 21 into the space S in which the puff P is accommodated. 4 and 5, the flow channel 70 includes an outer frame 71 formed on the edge side of the reflection portion, an inner frame 72 formed so as to be spaced apart from the inside of the outer frame 71, A middle frame 73 formed on the lower side of the flange 30 and positioned between the outer frame 71 and the inner frame 72 and a flange 73 disposed between the outer frame 71 and the middle frame 73 (Not shown). At this time, the nozzle hole 74a formed in the nozzle 74 is formed so as to face the surface of the window 40.

The outer rim 71 and the inner rim 72 have a first height H1 and a second height H2 respectively and a middle rim 73 has a third height H3, H1)> second height (H2)> third height (H3). The outer edge 71 and the inner edge 72 are separated from the reflecting surface 52 by the flow channel 70 when the outer edge 71 is assembled so as to be in close contact with the lower surface of the flange 30. [ And the middle rim 73 forms a zigzag flow path which is located inside the channel C and connected to the nozzle 74. [

4, the ozone generated in the ultraviolet lamp 21 is separated into zigzag flow channels formed by the outer rim 71, the inner rim 72 and the middle rim 73, Flows into the space in which the puff P is accommodated along the arrows indicated by the nozzle 74 and the nozzle hole 74a.

At this time, cosmetics or foreign substances separated from the puff P are prevented from moving toward the ultraviolet lamp 21 by the flow channel 70 having the zigzag flow channel or the nozzle hole 74a directed toward the surface of the window 40 So that it is possible to prevent the ultraviolet lamp 21 or the reflecting surface 52 from being contaminated by cosmetics or foreign substances.

The ventilation flow passage 80 is formed in the cover 12 and forms a flow path for allowing moisture evaporated from the puff P to evaporate outside the container portion 10. [

Fig. 7 is a block diagram for explaining the configuration of the control unit in Fig. 3;

As shown, the control unit 90 includes an operation switch 91 for operating the ultraviolet lamp 21 when the cover 12 opens and then closes the base container 11, A period operation section 92 for periodically activating the ultraviolet ray irradiating section 21 in a state in which the ultraviolet ray lamp 11 is closed and a setting timer 93 for setting the operation time of the ultraviolet lamp 21.

The operation switch 91 does not operate the ultraviolet lamp 21 separately but simply operates the ultraviolet lamp 21 when the cover 12 is rotated to open and close the base container 11. That is, when the user puts the puff P into the base container 11 and closes the cover 12, the operation switch 91 operates the ultraviolet lamp 21 to sterilize the puff P. The operation switch 91 automatically activates the ultraviolet lamp 21 immediately after closing the cover 12 in order to increase the sterilizing efficiency of the puff P because the puff P is most contaminated after use.

The period operation section 92 controls the ultraviolet lamp 21 to operate with a period of a specific time interval. As a result, the battery B can be prevented from being excessively discharged, and the battery B can be used for a long time.

The setting timer 93 sets the sterilization time according to the environment in which the sterilization apparatus of the present invention is used. For example, in a high humidity or high temperature environment, the operation time of the ultraviolet lamp 21 is lengthened, In the cold environment, the operation time of the ultraviolet lamp 21 is shortened.

As described above, according to the present invention, the puff used for facial makeup can be sterilized and stored by using ultraviolet rays to prevent contamination by bacteria, thereby preventing occurrence of skin troubles in the process of using the puff .

The heat generated together with the operation of the ultraviolet lamp 21 evaporates the moisture absorbed in the puff P and the evaporated moisture is discharged through the ventilation flow path 80 formed in the cover 12. [ As a result, the puff P can always be maintained in a smoothly traveling state, which can improve the comfort during use.

And the sterilizing device can be implemented as a whole flat and compact, and the sterilizing device can be made lighter, which is good in portability.
