Abstract

The present invention installs a quartz tube concentrically inside the cylindrical tube, installs an ultraviolet lamp in the quartz tube through a through hole formed in a bracket that is tightly installed on the outer circumferential surface of the opening of the quartz tube, and spirals between the cylindrical tube and the quartz tube. The water to be sterilized introduced through the first elbow installed in the first cover member by installing the guide means on the top is contained in the water by ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet lamp while flowing along the flow path formed by the guide means, the cylindrical tube and the quartz tube. After sterilizing the bacteria, it is configured to be discharged to the outside through the second elbow installed on the second cover member.

Therefore, by lengthening the flow path of the water to be sterilized, the ultraviolet ray emitted from the ultraviolet lamp can be irradiated to the water for a long time to sufficiently sterilize the water, and as the length of the water flow path to be sterilized is long, a small amount of ultraviolet lamp (sterilization lamp) Not only can sterilize a large amount of water, but also the compact structure makes it easy to handle and reduce the manufacturing cost.

Description

Beverage instant sterilizer {A POTABLE WATER STERILIZER}

The present invention relates to a beverage instant sterilizer capable of irradiating the ultraviolet light to be sterilized by ultraviolet light for a long time.

Conventionally, water purifiers for sterilizing water include Utility Model Publication No. 91-4268 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. H5-20480 published in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1432.

The ultraviolet sterilizing water purifier disclosed in Korean Utility Model Publication No. 91-4268 covers the upper opening of the bucket 2 with the bottom plate 1, and the bottom plate 1 is fastened by bolts 9, After the lid 7 is tightly coupled to the upper portion of the bottom plate 1, the ultraviolet lamp 5 is inserted through the through hole formed in the lid 7 and the bottom plate 1.

The ultraviolet sterilizing water purifier configured as described above filters foreign substances contained in water introduced into the inlet port 3 installed on one side of the bucket 2 by ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet lamp 5, and then filtered by the filter 6. The concentrated ultraviolet light is introduced into the periphery of the ultraviolet ray lamp 5 from the lower inlet of the sterilization control tube 8 formed between the filter 6 and the ultraviolet ray lamp 5 and radiated by the ultraviolet ray lamp 5. Although it can be sterilized by irradiation, there is a problem that the water cannot be sufficiently sterilized because the time that the water passes around the ultraviolet lamp 5 is too short.

In addition, the ozone sterilizing apparatus 10 of water disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 5-20480 has a tubular body portion 16 having water inlets 11 and outlets 12 formed on both side ends. Watertight at the end wall plates 18 and 18 having attachment holes 17 and 17 fixed to the openings at both ends of the body portion 16, and the attachment holes 17 and 17 of the end wall plates 18 and 18, respectively. At the same time, they are composed of tubular attachment portions 14 and 14, each of which has threaded portions 15 and 15 formed on its outer circumference.

The inlet 11 and the outlet 12 are provided so that the elbows 13 and 13 face in arbitrary directions, respectively. In addition, a coating agent 19 (polyurethane resin) is applied to the inner surface of the body portion 16 and the inner surfaces of the end wall plates 18 and 18 so as not to be melted by ultraviolet rays. Inside the apparatus 10, a quartz tube 20 is installed in the longitudinal direction through the attachment portions 14 and 14, and an ultraviolet lamp 22 generating ozone is formed in the quartz tube 20. It is installed.

The first ring packing 31 is interposed in order to close the gap between the attachment portion 14 and the opening side of the quartz tube 20 so that water inside the conventional ozone sterilizer 10 does not leak to the outside. The second watertight connecting cylinder 42 is screwed together, and the other end corresponding to the bottom side of the quartz tube 20 seals a gap between the attachment portion 14 and the quartz tube 20. The watertight cap 40 is screwed through the ring packing 32.

Moreover, the watertight cap 44 which has the support part 43 which abuts the edge part of the quartz tube 20 is watertightly screwed together through the 3rd ring packing 33 in the watertight connection cylinder 42, Since the cord 36 having the connector 34 connected to the support bracket 24 of the ultraviolet lamp 22 at the support portion 43 of the cap 44 for watertight is tightly supported, the quartz tube 20 Is attached in a stable state.

Nuts 40a, 42a, 44a are formed in the watertight cap 40, the watertight connecting body 42, and the watertight cap 44, respectively, to facilitate engagement and disassembly.

By the way, the conventional ozone sterilization apparatus configured as described above can attach the quartz tube protecting the ultraviolet lamp for ozone closely, but since the time to be sterilized is too short for the water to be contacted with the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet lamp, There were problems such as not being able to sterilize water sufficiently.

In addition, the conventional ozone sterilizer has a problem that, in order to sufficiently sterilize the water to be sterilized, the sterilizer must be enlarged, and the enlarged sterilizer is not only difficult to handle but also expensive.

An object of the present invention is to provide an easy to handle, long-life beverage instant sterilizer.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a beverage instant sterilization apparatus which is compact and easy to handle, has a simple installation structure, and can reduce manufacturing costs.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with cylindrical pipes each having concave grooves formed on both outer circumferential surfaces of the ring-shaped packing member to block external leakage of water, and concentrically installed inside the cylindrical pipe, and the tip end is sealed. A quartz tube, a bracket tightly installed on the outer circumferential surface of the opening of the quartz tube, an ultraviolet lamp for irradiating ultraviolet rays to water to be injected into and sterilized on the inner circumferential surface of the quartz tube, and disposed between the cylindrical tube and the quartz tube to be sterilized. The helical guide means for guiding the water to be sterilized so as to lengthen the flow path of the water to be discharged and to maintain the contact time of the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet lamp, and the first elbow formed with the through hole are provided, and the opening at the tip side of the cylindrical tube. A first cover member for sealing the seal, and a second elbow formed with a through hole are installed and the proximal end side opening of the cylindrical tube. It characterized in that it is provided with a second cover member for covering.
