Description

Pocket type Sterilizer for used Face Mask

The present invention relates to a pocket mask sterilizer capable of sterilizing and antibacterial efficiently using a mask with strong sterilization power, high deodorization efficiency, and enhanced portability.

Masks worn by people with respiratory illnesses such as cold or flu, people who are worried about yellow dust, and workers at industrial sites where dust is a problem in the working environment are made of a nonwoven fabric with a loose probe tissue (KF 80), and a high-density nonwoven fabric with a dense probe structure. There is a mask (KF 94), and there are other commonly used cotton masks.

The cotton mask can be reused after washing, but the non-woven mask is not allowed to wash because the function of blocking the intrusion of yellow dust, bacteria, dust, and droplets is significantly reduced due to the disintegration of tissues and large pores when washed. It is also known to be refrained from.

Even the cotton mask may be difficult to wash, dry, sterilize and disinfect depending on the situation.

In order to cope with this situation, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2011-0098394 has been proposed. This prior art is a stationary UV sterilizer in which an ultraviolet lamp is installed in a casing in which the object to be sterilized is placed in the storage space. It is non-portable, so it is not possible to easily sterilize the mask used by the person anytime, anywhere while carrying it on the body.

In order to escape the limitations of use, Patent No. 10-2044622 has been proposed. This prior art is a portable mask sterilization device in which a mask is irradiated with ultraviolet rays with a UV lamp to sterilize it, and dried with a blower to deodorize it. It is a drawer type in which a main body equipped with a grill supporting the bottom of the mask is inserted into the cap and taken out.

However, this mask sterilizer is insufficient to completely sterilize pathogens on the mask because the UV light irradiated from the UV lamp is weak and the sterilization power is less than the standard, and because the volume of the mask sterilizer is large because a ventilation blower is required, it is inconvenient to carry. Do.

In addition, the tip of the grill is sharp like a comb, so when it is inserted into the cap with the mask inserted, the mask is often caught and wrinkled at the tip of the grill. If ultraviolet rays are irradiated while the mask is wrinkled, the influence of ultraviolet rays is weak on the corrugated mask area, so that the mask is not partially sterilized.

In addition, since the comb-shaped grill and the louver-type grill have a large contact area between the mask, ultraviolet rays are not evenly irradiated, the gap between the mask and the mask is small, so drying and deodorization by blowing are not sufficient, and it is difficult to clean the foreign matter in the gap.

In addition, if the mask is dried by forced air, it is annoying because the battery is consumed quickly and replacement is inevitable. If the mask is sterilized while using public transportation, the wind flowing out of the pocket and the odor that is carried there may cause discomfort to the surrounding people. Antibacterial action cannot be expected.

In addition, the mask sterilizers cannot be expected to have antibacterial action.

Publication Patent No. 10-2011-0098394 Registered Patent No. 10-2044622

The present invention is to solve the disadvantages of the conventional portable mask sterilizer described above, and it is possible to sterilize and antibacterialize the mask quickly and efficiently with a strong and abundant amount of ultraviolet rays, and the loaded mask is not wrinkled, and without using a blower. There is a purpose devised to provide a pocket mask sterilizer capable of deodorizing.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a main body installed with an A type C type UV LED mounted LED PCB and a USB port for charging that are turned on and off with an ON/OFF switch; A grille installed in a hinged manner by vacuum vapor deposition with metallic liquid on a flat "C" shaped support provided at the rear end of the main body; It can be implemented as a pocket mask sterilizer consisting of a hinged cover installed on the main body.

The type A UV LED is for antibacterial and performs a deodorizing function by removing odors, and the ultraviolet radiation range is 120°.

The C-type UV LED has a large amount of ultraviolet radiation and has a very strong sterilization power, and the ultraviolet radiation range is 170°.

The vacuum-deposited film of the grill diffusely reflects ultraviolet rays with a brightness comparable to that of direct sunlight so that ultraviolet rays are irradiated throughout the mask, so that sterilization and antibacterial activity are strong, so that sterilization time is shortened and high antibacterial activity is exhibited.

Since the grill is a non-comb-rubber type in which the contact area with the mask is significantly reduced, there is a large amount of direct irradiation of ultraviolet rays to the mask, enabling early sterilization, antibacterial and deodorization.

As described above, the A-type UV LED and the C-type UV LED applied to the pocket mask sterilizer according to the present invention are compact compared to conventional UV lamps, but have a large amount of UV radiation, so they are highly effective in antibacterial, sterilizing, and deodorizing the mask. It is possible to pursue sanitization of a safety reusable driver's mask.

In addition, by applying A-type UV LED and C-type UV LED, it is possible to reduce the volume (thickness) of the mask sterilizer, so it can be designed in a compact size that is easy to carry in a pocket, and the manufacturing cost burden is reduced, and at the same time, there is a power saving effect.

In addition, as the cover is provided, it is inconvenient to load and remove the mask after disinfection, and when loading and withdrawing the mask, compared to the conventional drawer-type mask sterilizer, which is more likely to be wrinkled due to the mask being sandwiched between the grill and the cap. It is easy to load and withdraw, and there is no fear of wrinkles between the grill and the cover during the process, so you can wear it like a new mask at any time.

In addition, the non-comb-non-louver type grill is easy to clean.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings prepared on the basis of a preferred embodiment.

1 is an exploded view of a pocket mask sterilizer according to the present invention. In this figure, the pocket mask sterilizer is based on the main body (1), grill (2), cover (3), LED PCB (4), battery (5), and ON/0FF switch (6).

At the rear end of the main body 1, a support 7 having a'C' shape is erected. This support (7) is hinged so that the rear end of the grill (2) and the cover (3) can be rotated, and the grill (2) is tilted upward or downward in the direction of the cover (3), and the cover (3) is opened and closed. The grille 2 and the cover 3 are pivotably coupled to the pinholes 8 on both wings to be supported so as to be capable of being supported.

The grill (2) is accommodated in the main body (1) to support the mask or folded mask, and the arms (11) that are hingedly installed to the pin hole (8) are attached to both ends. A frame 12 is attached to the front of the connected part 10. The frame 12 is a skeleton that supports the mask, and has a smooth surface of a non-comb-rubber type.

If the frame 12 is left unattended, it may be bent. In order to prevent the bending of the frame 12, reinforcing ribs 13 are used between the front surface of the connecting portion 10 and the rear surface of the frame 12. The reinforcing flesh 13 is minimized to widen the space 14 between the connecting portion 10 and the frame 12. The wider the space 14 is, the wider the UV contact surface of the mask relying on the grill 2 increases the sterilization efficiency.

In addition, the connecting portion 10, the frame 12, and the reinforcing ribs 13 have a circular or elliptical cross section, and a vapor deposition film is formed by vacuum-depositing a liquid metal on the surface thereof, so that the light irradiated to the frame and the reinforcing ribs By allowing this to be reflected and refracted, the diffuse reflectance can be widened.

In this way, the wide diffuse reflectance of ultraviolet rays helps the diffusion of abundant and powerful ultraviolet rays emitted from the A-type UV LEDs 15 and C-type UV LEDs 16 so that the mask is widely irradiated, thereby improving sterilization, antibacterial and deodorizing efficiency. .

The grill 2 has a very monotonous structure compared to the conventional louver type grill, perforated plate type grill, and comb type grill, and has fewer areas to block UV rays, so that the mask can be effectively and efficiently sterilized by irradiation with abundant UV rays.

The cover 3 covers and protects the mask coupled to the grill 2, and is integrally installed to be hinged to open and close to the arm 11 of the grill 2, and the main body ( Follow the outline of 1) and close it so that there is no gap between it and the main body (1).

The LED PCB 4 is equipped with a plurality of A-type UV LEDs 15 and C-type UV LEDs 16. As shown in FIG. 5, the A-type UV LED 15 is an antibacterial light emitting diode using ultraviolet light as a light source, and has a wavelength range of 315 nm to 380 nm, and a radiation range (radiation angle) of 120°.

In addition, the C-type UV LED 16 is a light emitting diode using ultraviolet light as a light source, the wavelength band is 200nm ~ 280nm, the radiation range (radiation angle) is 170˚, in the present invention, the wavelength is 253.7nm to have the best sterilization power. It is most preferable to do. By applying the C-type UV LED (16), the sterilization efficiency of the used mask is very high, and the mask can be effectively sterilized in a short time. At the same time, the internal airflow is promoted while the cover (3) is closed to remove odor more quickly. Deodorize.

Meanwhile, the LED PCB 4 is accommodated in the LED cap 17 together with the battery 5 and the ON/OFF switch 6 and is coupled to the inside of the support tool 7. At this time, the A-type UV LED 15 is inserted into the LED hole 18 of the LED cap 17, and the C-type UV LED 16 is inserted into the LED hole 19 of the LED cap 17, respectively, and ON/ The knob of the OFF switch (6) and the USB charging port are exposed to the back of the support (7).

That is, after mounting on the back of the LED cap 17 in the order of the ON/OFF switch 6, the battery 5, and the LED PCB 4 into the support hole 7 of the main body 1, the support hole (7) Fix the LED cap 17 in front. At this time, the knob of the ON/OFF switch 6 passes through the support 7 and is exposed to the outside.

The rear of the arm (11) of the grill (2) is hinged to each other on the outside of the pin hole (8) formed on the wings on both sides of the support (7), and the cover (3) is outside the arm (11) Cover (3) as shown in Fig. 2 in an integrally assembled state so that the grill (2) can be mounted inside between the main body (1) and the cover (3) by covering the rear end of the body (1) and the cover (3). ) Is opened, the grill 2 is also rotated at the same time, so that the cover 3 is tilted in the middle of the opening angle, so that the mask can be easily loaded and removed.

In addition, the front of the main body (1) and the front of the cover (3) are formed integrally with each of the coupling jaws (20) (21) to facilitate the installation with fingers, thereby maintaining the closed state of the cover (3). At the same time, it is possible to conveniently open or close the cover 3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the A-type and C-type UV LEDs 15 and 16 have a much greater amount of ultraviolet radiation than UV lamps, so sterilization and antibacterial activity are very strong, and deodorization properties for removing odors are also very excellent, The ultraviolet radiation range (radiation angle) of the A-type UV LED 15 is 120°, and the ultraviolet radiation range (radiation angle) of the C-type UV LED 16 is 170°.

In Fig. 4, fold the mask in half and put it on the grill (2) and close the cover (3), or fold the grill (2) on the main body (1) and place the mask folded in half on the grill (2), and then cover (3). ) Is closed, and the ON/OFF switch 6 is turned on so that the type A and type C UV LEDs 15 and 16 light up at the same time to start sterilization and antibacterial.

Subsequently, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the A-type UV LED 15 pass through the LED hole 18 of the LED cap 17, and the ultraviolet rays emitted from the C-type UV LED 16 are the LED of the LED cap 17 It passes through the hole 19 and radiates into the main body 1 and the cover 3 to sterilize the mask.

In this way, while ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the mask in the main body 1 and the cover 3, only the non-comb-rubber-type grill 2 is an obstacle. However, since the grill 2 is placed in the ultraviolet irradiation direction, the ultraviolet irradiation interference is negligible and very small.

Ultraviolet rays hitting the frame 12 and the reinforcing rib 13 forming the grill 2 are diffused reflections resulting from the structural features of the frame 12 and the reinforcing rib 13 having a circular or elliptical cross section The reflective action is added and spreads to the space 14 composed of the connection part 10, the frame 12, and the reinforcing ribs 13, so that the mask is widely irradiated in an abundant amount.

In other words, the non-comb-non-louver-type grill 2 according to the present invention is composed of a frame 12 and a minimum reinforcing rib 13, and the comb teeth with pointed ends are densely formed and the area occupied by the comb teeth is also wide Compared to the conventional louver-type grill, which has inhibited diffusion, since the amount of ultraviolet rays irradiated to the mask is increased, sterilization, antibacterial and deodorization are performed quickly, and hygienic treatment for reusing the used mask is very efficient.

Here, by antibacterial treatment of the mask by ultraviolet rays emitted from the A-type UV LED 15 to block bacteria from proliferating, the disposable mask can be used hygienically and repeatedly.

In addition, the C-type UV LED (16) is very effective in sterilizing the mask because it has a much richer amount of ultraviolet light and is also powerful, and it is easy to remove the mask from the grill (2) by applying an opening cover (3), and Since there is no possibility of getting the mask on the tip of ), it can be sterilized to prevent wrinkles, and above all, it can be sterilized so that the performance of the mask does not deteriorate.

That is, the mask can be sterilized, antibacterial, and deodorized only by the amount of ultraviolet rays of the A-type and C-type UV LEDs 15 and 16, thereby implementing a small and lightweight mask sterilizer.

As described above, the pocket mask sterilizer according to the present invention can efficiently sterilize, antibacterial and deodorize disposable masks, and quickly and safely sterilize and antibacterialize the used mask without deteriorating the performance of the disposable mask to be used multiple times. It is possible to greatly improve economic efficiency while pursuing sanitization of driver's masks, and it is possible to reduce the volume (thickness) so that it can be designed in a size that is convenient to carry in a pocket, improving portability as well as mask sterilization. It is an invention with high industrial applicability because it is easy to load and remove, but prevents the mask from being pinched or wrinkled, so that it can always be worn like a new mask.
