Description

Card disinfector

The present invention relates to a card sterilizer, and more specifically, it is possible to clean and disinfect the surface of the card with a professional bacterial disinfectant rather than a wet tissue level, so that the card can be kept in a clean and clean state. It is related to a card sterilizer that can relieve anxiety and prevent infectious diseases.

Recently, infectious diseases such as SARS, MERS, and Corona are prevalent. Infection with infectious diseases such as SARS, MERS, and Corona is mainly caused by droplets such as coughing and sneezing, but it is known that infection by hand contact is also significant.

Infection by hand contact progresses at handrails such as buses and subways, stair railings, and entrances to buildings, but infections caused by credit cards cannot be ignored.

More about this. The surface of a credit card, a daily necessity of modern people, is highly susceptible to propagation of infectious bacteria such as SARS, MERS, and Corona. Unlike paper and metal, it is easy for bacteria to propagate on plastic cards. It is emerging as a major target of alert.

Therefore, cleaning or maintaining the surface of your credit card is paramount. However, considering that the credit card is handed over to the store clerk at the time of purchase and then received again, it is inevitable to be inconvenient and cumbersome to keep the surface of the credit card clean.

For reference, a device for sterilizing a mobile phone as shown in FIG. 1 has been known to some extent, and has been released as a product, but until now, no device for disinfecting the surface of a credit card has been disclosed.

Therefore, as described above, it is common to manage credit cards to the extent that they wipe the surface with wet wipes, etc., but it is difficult to eradicate strong infectious bacteria such as SARS, MERS, and corona with such a degree of cleaning the surface of the credit card. In consideration, the need for a new concept card sterilizer that is not known before emerges.

(Example 1)

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the card sterilizer according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a view in which the cover is opened in FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 2, and FIG. 5 is a use of the card sterilizer of FIG. It is a state diagram.

Referring to these drawings, when the card sterilizer 100 according to the present embodiment is used, the surface of the card can be cleaned and disinfected with a professional bacterial disinfectant rather than a wet tissue level, so that the card can be kept in a clean and clean state. , This not only relieves anxiety when using cards, but also prevents infectious diseases.

The card sterilizer 100 according to the present embodiment capable of providing such an effect may include a sterilizer body 110, a cover 160, a pedestal 170, and a removable card sterilization unit 120.

The sterilizer body 110 is a container in which a professional bacterial disinfectant solution for disinfecting a card is filled. Here, the professional bacteria disinfectant may be ethanol for disinfection called alcohol.

Ethanol can eradicate infectious bacteria such as SARS, MERS, and corona that remain on the surface of the card. Ethanol is advantageous because it evaporates easily, leaving no residual material.

The sterilizer body 110 is made of a transparent material to enable internal perspective. Therefore, it can be easily observed whether or not how much ethanol remains in the sterilizer body 110.

The cover 160 is detachably coupled to the entrance area of the sterilizer body 110 and serves to protect the removable card disinfection unit 120.

This cover 160 prevents the ethanol from spilling by blocking the inlet region of the sterilizer body 110. When disinfecting the card, you can open the cover 160 and use it as shown in FIG. 5, and close the cover 160 after use to prevent ethanol from spilling.

The pedestal 170 supports the sterilizer body 110. This pedestal 170 has an insertion part 171 into which the lower end of the sterilizer body 110 is inserted, and supports and supports the sterilizer body 110.

A position fixing protrusion 172 for fixing the position of the sterilizer body 110 is provided in one of the base 170 and the sterilizer body 110 so that the sterilizer body 110 can be stably supported on the base 170, In the other, a protrusion receiving groove 112 into which the position fixing protrusion 172 is inserted is formed.

In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 172 is provided on the pedestal 170 and the protrusion receiving groove 112 is provided in the sterilizer body 110. However, the reverse is also possible. That is, the position fixing protrusion 172 may be provided in the sterilizer body 110, and the protrusion receiving groove 112 may be provided in the pedestal 170, but it should be said that all of these matters belong to the scope of the present invention.

On the other hand, the detachable card disinfection unit 120 is detachably coupled to the entrance area of the sterilizer body 110, and serves to disinfect the card inserted into the card slot 131 by contacting ethanol with a professional bacteria disinfectant.

The removable card disinfection unit 120 may include a sponge 130, an absorbent sheet 150, and a sponge socket 140. The sponge socket 140 is optional and does not have to be applied.

The sponge 130 is disposed in the inlet area of the sterilizer body 110 and absorbs ethanol to disinfect the inserted card. To this end, a card slot 131 into which a card is inserted is formed in the center of the sponge 130.

One side of the absorbent sheet 150 is sewn to surround the sponge 130 and the other side is a kind of cloth material immersed in ethanol in the sterilizer body 110. Since the absorbent sheet 150 is immersed in ethanol, ethanol is absorbed and transferred to the sponge 130. Accordingly, ethanol may be absorbed by the sponge 130.

The sponge socket 140 is a type of structure that supports the sponge 130. Of course, without the sponge socket 140, the sponge 130 may be inserted into the inner wall of the inlet of the sterilizer body 110. However, in this case, the operation may not be easy, and it may be pushed down when inserting a card.

An insertion depth limiting portion 111 is provided on the inner wall of the sterilizer body 110 to limit the insertion depth of the sponge socket 140. Therefore, when the sponge socket 140 is inserted into the sterilizer body 110, it is caught and supported by the insertion depth limiting part 111, and even if the card is pushed into the card slot 131 in this state and pressurized, the sponge socket 140 or the sponge 130 ) Can be prevented from being pushed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the card sterilizer 100 will be described.

First, ethanol is filled in the sterilizer body 110, and the removable card sterilization unit 120 is inserted into the entrance area of the sterilizer body 110.

Then, since the absorbent sheet 150 is immersed in ethanol, the ethanol is absorbed and transferred to the sponge 130. Thus, the sponge 130 takes a state in which ethanol is contained.

Next, insert the card into the card slot 131 as shown in FIG. 5. The card at this time may be a credit card, a general transportation card, or a certificate, a driver's license, or a resident registration card.

When the card is inserted into the card slot 131 in this way, the sponge 130 contains ethanol, so that the surface of the card can be disinfected.

According to this embodiment, which acts based on the structure as described above, since the surface of the card can be cleaned and disinfected with a professional bacterial disinfectant rather than a wet tissue level, it is possible to carry the card in a clean and clean state at all times. Using the card not only relieves anxiety, but also prevents infectious diseases.
