Description

Automatic opening and closing mask to block splash}

The present invention relates to an automatic opening/closing mask for blocking splashes, and more particularly, by sensing the distance between the mask member and food by a sensor and automatically opening/closing the mask member when an object is detected within a certain distance, the mask can be opened and closed. It relates to an automatic opening/closing mask for blocking droplets that provides functions such as voice calls and music listening by enabling a user to conveniently consume food even when worn, as well as connect to a user terminal using Bluetooth communication. .

There are various high-risk infectious diseases such as diphtheria, pertussis, rubella, scarlet fever, smallpox, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, and influenza in Korea, with four distinct seasons.

In particular, the population density of Seoul is 1km ² 1 only 6,700 people 30 per dog No. 1 on the first cities in the OECD countries gown This is a figure nearly three times the eight times that of New York, Tokyo, close to public transportation and restaurants located and exposed to infection.

In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned high-risk infectious diseases, the main route of infection is by droplet transmission, and recently, in the case of respiratory infectious diseases such as corona virus, it is the disease with the highest morbidity and accounts for about half of the occurrence of all infectious diseases. .

On the other hand, the domestic restaurant market is at a level of more than 180 trillion won per year and has been increasing by 9.1% every year since 2016. However, in order to prevent respiratory infections such as coronavirus, it is generally not possible to wear a mask while eating out or eating.

Accordingly, in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2173696, a multi-purpose face protection mask having a corona infection blocking function that can be used not only for blocking droplet infection, but also for other purposes has been published. .

However, looking at the above-mentioned prior art literature, the coupling port is configured in the frame so as to be detachably coupled to the brim of the hat, and is configured as a screen to block splashes, which also requires taking off the hat for ingestion of food or , or because the frame has to be separated from the brim of the hat, it still has the same problems as the previous mask.
