{Sterilizing keeping apparatus for tableware}

More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for sterilizing, drying and storing various types of tableware and tableware using an ultraviolet light emitting device (UV LED) and a flexible lid having no shape, And a sterilizing storage device.

BACKGROUND ART A conventional dishwasher has a front box opening and closing door formed in a rigid box-shaped cylinder, and a user has used a dishwasher into or pulled out from a container having a limited size through a door opening and closing door.

However, such a conventional dishwasher has a fixed shape using hard panels made of metal or synthetic resin, and it is difficult to accommodate various types of dishes or tableware cradles. Especially, in the conventional tableware cradles, There was a need to move the tableware from the tableware cradle back to the tableware storage case.

On the other hand, since the dishwashing which has been washed has many moisture and organic substances remaining, harmful bacteria, fungi and bacteria can easily reproduce, and if such harmful bacteria are generated in the dishware, the dishwasher Which can lead to fatal accidents.

Especially, it is a very important issue to keep the tableware clean in the restaurant, the restaurant, the cafeteria, the buffet restaurant or the hotel restaurant which is facing the public.

However, conventional dishwasher and dishwasher sterilization devices are limited in size and shape to be applied to various types of tableware or conventional tableware, and expensive parts such as hard panels made of a metal or synthetic resin or ultraviolet sterilization The cost of the product is very high and the volume occupied by the product is so large that it is difficult to install and store the product.

The idea of the present invention is that the flexible lid can be easily and conveniently sterilized, stored and dried on the tableware stored in the existing tableware stand, irrespective of the shape of the tableware or the tableware stand, And to provide a sterilization apparatus for sterilization of dishes. However, such a problem is illustrative, and thus the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for sterilizing tableware, comprising: a flexible lid unit having an opening formed at one side thereof to surround a tableware or a tableware base, An ultraviolet light emitting element (UV LED) installed inside the lid to irradiate ultraviolet light to the tableware or tableware stand; And a control panel unit installed on one side of the lid unit and applying power to the ultraviolet light emitting device.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the lid part may be provided with at least one selected from an elastic band, a magnet, a weight, a fastener, a zipper, a button and a combination thereof in the opening.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the lid portion includes an ultraviolet shielding film disposed on the outside; A flexible printed circuit board disposed inside the ultraviolet shielding film and on which the ultraviolet light emitting element is mounted; An optical fiber for guiding ultraviolet light generated in the ultraviolet light emitting device and having a notch so that a part of the ultraviolet light can be irradiated to the inside; And a transparent member disposed inside the optical fiber to surround the optical fiber.

According to an aspect of the present invention, the control panel unit may include a blowing fan for discharging the air inside at least the lid to the outside, a timer for setting an operation time, an on-off switch, a display device, a charger, a battery, A power supply line, and a combination thereof may be selected and installed.

The apparatus for sterilizing dishes according to the present invention may further comprise: an optical sensor provided inside the cover; And a controller for applying a power-off control signal to the ultraviolet light-emitting device when an external light signal is detected from the optical sensor.

According to the idea of the present invention, the sterilization apparatus for sterilization of tableware can be easily and conveniently sterilized by putting it on a tableware and a tableware stand, and it is possible to sterilize a tableware and a tableware stand by using a flexible lid, It is possible to reduce the unit cost of the product and to reduce the volume occupied by the product, so that it can be easily installed and stored, and can prevent external leakage of ultraviolet light and can be safe. Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited by these effects.
