The control unit 5 corresponds to a configuration that receives the sensing value from the sensor unit 3 and controls the injection nozzle 22 to spray the finely bubbled fire extinguishing liquid. That is, when the control unit 5 receives a sensing value for the approach of an object from the sensor unit 3, although not shown in the drawing, it controls the driving means for driving the spray nozzle 22 to allow the disinfectant solution to be sprayed into the spray nozzle 22. ) to be discharged through.

Preferably, the sensor unit 3 includes a distance measuring sensor (hereinafter indicated the same as the drawing number of the sensor unit) configured in the horizontal body 24, and the control unit 5 includes the distance measuring sensor (3). It is characterized in that selective injection is performed according to the height of the plurality of injection nozzles 22 by the sensing value measured by ).

In particular, the above-mentioned operating mechanism allows the spray to be applied only to the remaining body parts of the subject's body, excluding the head area, including the face, thereby minimizing discomfort that the subject may feel.

Meanwhile, the present invention presents an example in which a heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is further configured, as shown in FIG. 4 and the like.

Figure 5 shows an example of a heat dissipation and drying unit 8 formed adjacent to the spray nozzle 22 on the vertical body 23. As described below, the disinfectant solution is sprayed by the spray nozzle 22. This is to ensure that hot air is sprayed by the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 after this spraying.

As shown in FIG. 4, the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 includes a motor 81, an impeller 82 that is connected to the motor 81 through a rotation shaft 83 and rotates in conjunction with the impeller 82. A space is formed inside to accommodate it, and a plurality of flow holes 841 are formed on the entire surface, but the surface 842 and the side 843 in the direction of the motor 81 are accommodated inside the body portion 2 and the motor 81 It is characterized in that it includes a frame 84 whose opposite side 844 is exposed to the body portion 2.

The frame 84 is such that the opposite side 844 in the direction of the motor 81 is exposed to the vertical body 23 and communicates with the outside, and the side 842 and the side 843 in the direction of the motor 81 are is embedded inside the vertical body 23, so that when the impeller 82 rotates, the air inside the body 2 passes through the surface 842 and the side 843 in the direction of the motor 81, as shown in the drawing. It is sucked in and discharged through the surface 844 opposite to the direction of the motor 81.

The air inside the body 2 becomes high temperature due to the operation of the electric device inside the body 2, and if the electric device inside is continuously exposed to this heat, it may deteriorate and cause malfunction.

In particular, heat is generated in the vaporization process of the digestive juice by the operation of ultrasonic waves in the vaporization unit 21, and this heat exposes other electrical devices, such as the control unit 5, to deterioration.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is configured so that the heat inside the body unit 2 is discharged to the outside, and the drying efficiency of the object is increased by this high temperature air.

That is, by discharging the high-temperature air inside the body 2 to the outside, it is easy to dry the object after spraying the disinfectant solution, and by dissipating heat inside the body 2, the deterioration of the electrical device is controlled.

For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 6, when an object is detected by the sensor unit 3, the control unit 5 causes the disinfectant solution to be sprayed through the spray nozzle 22 and then the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is driven. It is desirable to do this as much as possible. That is, the control unit 5 detects the sensing of the sensor unit 3 and operates the driving means so that the disinfectant solution is sprayed on the target through the spray nozzle 22, and then the disinfection solution is immediately sprayed by the heat dissipation and drying unit 8. This is to ensure heat dissipation and drying.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, an example in which a mesh 11 containing a far-infrared ray emitting material 12 is fastened to a portion of the frame 84 accommodated inside the body 2 is provided.

The net body 11 is a net structure that forms a mesh, the inside of which is filled with a far-infrared ray emitting material 12, and is configured in a shape that surrounds the portion accommodated inside the body portion 2 in the frame 84. Although not shown in the drawings, this net body 11 may be composed of units and may be constructed by assembling units.

Due to the operating mechanism of the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 mentioned above, the high temperature air (a1) inside the body unit 2 passes through the mesh 11 in the process of being discharged to the outside, and is inside the mesh 11. The far-infrared ray emitting material (12) emits far-infrared rays by high-temperature air, and the radiated far-infrared rays are radiated to the subject along with the air (a2) discharged to the outside, thereby achieving an antibacterial effect in addition to drying.

When this far-infrared ray radiating material 12 is exposed to heat, the far-infrared ray radiating efficiency increases. As mentioned above, the air inside the body portion 2 is high temperature air due to the operation of an electric device, and the far infrared ray radiating material 12 As it is exposed to such high temperature air, its far-infrared radiation efficiency increases.

The type of the far-infrared ray emitting material 12 is not limited, and as an example, illite may be applied. Illite belongs to a clay mineral and is commonly called sericite, and is an aluminum-rich heterogeneous or It is produced in sedimentary rocks with a tuffaceous structure and as an altered mineral of hydrothermal ore host rock. It emits negative ions and far-infrared rays in a natural state and has functions such as neutralizing toxicity and deodorizing effects. It is known.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the net body 11 further includes a moisture absorbent 13. The reason for including the moisture absorbent 13 is that the outside air (a3) flows into the body portion (2). This is to control failure of electrical devices due to moisture by removing moisture from the outside air (a3) when it flows in. That is, when external air (a3) flows in, the moisture in the external air is removed by the moisture absorbent (13), and the air (a4) from which the moisture has been removed is allowed to flow into the housing (2).

The moisture absorbed in the moisture absorbent 13 is removed in the process of discharging the air inside the housing 2 to the outside or is removed by the high temperature air inside the housing 2, making maintenance and management easier.

In the case of the moisture absorbent 13, various known materials exist, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, although the present invention has been described with reference to limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is of course not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art in the field to which the present invention pertains can easily understand the above-described contents. Of course, various modifications and variations may be possible.
