As shown in Figure 1 to Figure, the configuration of the chopping board built sterilization function of the present invention is as follows.

First, the cutting board 100 is composed of a housing 110 in which the receiving space 111 opened upwards is formed, and a cover 120 capable of transmitting ultraviolet rays coupled to the upper portion of the housing 110.

Here, the cover 120 may be any material as long as the UV transmittance is high. Generally, a transparent material is generally applied, but an opaque material is not limited.

The cover 120 is preferably made of special glass or transparent stone porcelain with high UV transmittance.

The housing 110 and the cover 120 are separated from each other so that the cover 120 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the guide jaw 121 on both sides so as to be slidingly coupled with the cutting board 100, and the cutting jaw 100 to form a coupling groove into which the guide jaw 121 is inserted. To be configured.

This can be done by cutting the food on the upper surface of the cover 120 using a knife or the like, and then sliding the cover 120 to protect the sterilization system installed inside the housing 110 when cleaning the cutting board 100. To do so.

In addition, a lamp 130 emitting ultraviolet rays is installed in the accommodation space 111 of the housing 110.

Here, UV light refers to electron radiation having a wavelength shorter than the wavelength of visible light (400 nm) and longer than X-ray (100 nm). The fields of application include air sterilization, hospitals, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and livestock. It is used in a wide range of business areas such as kennels, laboratories, emergency rooms, sterilization and general hospitals, and water purification.

The ultraviolet lamp 130 has an ultraviolet irradiation range of UV-A: 320 to 400 nm, UV-B: 280 to 32 Onm, and UV-C: 100 to 280 nm.

The structure of the UV lamp 130 uses a special material that efficiently transmits UV rays (253.7 nm) through the glass tube. Tungsten filament coils are provided at both ends of the lamp and emitters (balium oxide, strontium oxide, calcium oxide, etc.) Material which is easy to spin) is applied.

The chamber is evacuated once and then filled with an appropriate amount of mercury and a mixture of argon gas or argon gas and other inert gases at an appropriate pressure.

The ultraviolet generation principle of the ultraviolet lamp 130 is to preheat the current flowing through the two electrodes and to emit hot electrons from the emitter discharge (lighting) occurs through the argon gas. Electrons flowing in the tube by the discharge rapidly collide with a saturated mercury heater to generate a mercury resonance line (253.7 nm). The sterilization lamp utilizes the sterilization effect of the 253.7 nm ultraviolet rays and efficiently emits the ultraviolet rays generated in the tube by using special glass or transparent quartz grass having high UV transmittance.

The bactericidal effect through the ultraviolet lamp 130 is related to the wavelength of ultraviolet light. This is almost the same depending on the sterilization and shows a maximum near the wavelength of 250 to 260 nm.

In this way, a lamp 130 for irradiating ultraviolet rays is installed inside the cutting board 100 so that ultraviolet rays transmitted through the cutting board 100 can sterilize the surface of the cutting board 100 to sterilize pathogens remaining in the cutting board 100 to improve hygiene of the cutting board 100. To help.

Outside the ultraviolet lamp 130 having such a function is provided with a reflector 140 to diffuse the ultraviolet light source of the lamp 130 to the cover 120 so that the irradiation direction of the light source can be irradiated in one direction.

Here, the reflector 140 is embodied in the shape so that the ultraviolet rays irradiated from the lamp 130 is reflected by the reflector 140 and transmitted to the cover 120 side to limit the divergence direction to the outside to protect the user from the ultraviolet rays.

In order to enable this, the shape of the reflector plate 140 has an enlarged shape so as to face the cover 120 side from the inside of the storage space 111, and the front side of the reflector plate 140 is erected to one lower edge of the storage space 111, and integrally with the reflector plate 140. The end side is bent toward the other wall of the cover 120 and the storage space 111 and then hinged to the wall of the storage space 111.

That is, by placing the lamp 130 in the bent portion of the line and the end of the reflector 140 so that the light source irradiation range of the lamp 130 is irradiated to the bottom of the cover 120 as a whole, so that the irradiation direction of the light source can be inclined in one direction.

Absorption to the nucleic acids of the human cells that can occur when exposed to ultraviolet rays can change the problem that can cause metabolic disorders and lose proliferative capacity.

In addition, the means for controlling the lamp 130 includes a switch unit 151, a vibrator 152, and a controller 150.

The control unit 150 has a controllable function of the switch unit 151, the vibrator 152, and the lamp 130.

In addition, the switch unit 151 is installed on the outer surface of the cutting board 100, the power supply battery 154 is built in the storage space 111 of the housing 110 when the power is supplied to the lamp 130, the on / off operation of the lamp 130 by manual mode selection Can be operated by

In addition, the switch unit 151 may be mounted on the outside of the cutting board 100 to manually cut off or supply the battery 154, and to operate the vibrator 152 when the terminal of the switch unit 151 is set to neutral.

For example, the switch unit 151 is divided into three operations in the switching operation. The switch unit 151 allows the switch unit 151 to perform the on / off function by pressing left or right to perform the on / off function, and when the switch unit 151 is located in the neutral state without performing the push operation for the on / off function. There is automatically the function of the switch unit 151 is cut off so that the vibration unit 152 can perform the function.

The vibrator 152 detects vibration generated when the cutting board 100 is used to control the on / off operation and irradiation time of the lamp 130.

That is, the vibrator 152 is mounted on the bottom surface of the storage space 111 but is positioned below the bent portion of the side and the end of the reflecting plate 140 so that vibration generated when the material is trimmed in the cutting board 100 using a tool such as a knife may be detected. In this case, a signal is applied to the control unit 150 to supply the power of the battery 154 to the lamp 130 to turn on the lamp 130.

In particular, when the vibration of the cutting board 100 is detected by the vibration unit 152, the control unit counts the time when the vibration sensor senses the first vibration, and turns on the lamp 130 from the time when the detection time of the vibration exceeds the set time. The lamp 130 flashes when the time that is not detected exceeds the set time.

For example, in the control of the lamp 130 through the vibrator 152, when a vibration is sensed for 3 seconds or more at the time when the vibration is detected, the vibration signal sensed by the vibrator 152 is applied to the controller 150, and the controller 150 is Power is supplied to the lamp 130 through the battery 154 to allow the lamp 130 to emit light.

Here, when the vibration detection time of the vibration unit 152 is less than 3 seconds, the lamp 130 does not emit light.

If the vibration is not detected for more than 3 seconds when the vibration is not detected, the unvibration signal sensed by the vibration unit 152 is applied to the control unit 150, and the control unit 150 supplies power to the lamp 130 through the battery 154. The lamp 130 flashes.

By virtue of the function of the vibrator 152, it is possible to save the power of the battery 154 and at the same time obtain an effect of protecting the human body from ultraviolet rays.

As such, the driving of the lamp 130 can be manually operated by a switch, and the vibration sensor installed inside the cutting board 100 detects vibration generated when the cutting board 100 is used to automatically turn on or flash the lamp 130. UV light can be irradiated only when 100 is used to minimize the damage to the user.
