The heating unit 12 may directly heat the water tank 11 by using petroleum having good thermal power. Of course, the heating unit 12 may be replaced with a device that uses electricity, such as a heat plate (Heat Plate).

The water tank 11 and the heating part 12 may be formed in one module by an outer housing (dotted line, FIG. 5). In this case, transportation becomes easier.

1 and 5, the steam supply pipe 20 is connected to one side of the steam generating unit 10, the steam injection unit 30 and the other side is connected. The steam supply pipe 20 is connected to the upper side of the water tank 11 to guide the steam generated by the heating unit 12 from the water tank 11 to the steam injection unit 30.

The steam supply pipe 20 is made of a material having excellent heat retention so that the temperature is lowered in the process of guiding the steam to the steam injection unit 30 through the steam supply pipe 20 so that the steam is not converted into a liquid state. Therefore, the steam generated in the water tank 11 is guided to the steam injection unit 30 as it is is injected to the outside.

1 to 4, the steam injection unit 30 is coupled to the other side of the steam supply pipe 20, and steam generated in the steam generator 10 is guided through the steam supply pipe 20. The steam injection unit 30 includes a vertical injection unit 130 and a horizontal injection unit 230.

The speed bump 131 is composed of an uphill slope (not shown) and a downhill slope (not shown), and a vertical pipe 132 is disposed between the uphill slope and the downhill slope.

The vertical pipe 132 is disposed parallel to the speed bump 131. Since the vertical pipe 132 is disposed between the uphill slope and the downhill slope, it is possible to prevent damage caused by the vehicle when passing the speed bump 131 of the vehicle.

The vertical nozzle 133 is provided in the vertical pipe 133 to inject steam toward the lower portion of the vehicle when the vehicle passes through the vertical pipe 132. In this way, transmission of the disease through the lower part of the vehicle can be prevented. To this end, the plurality of vertical nozzles 133 are arranged at regular intervals.

The horizontal injection unit 230 injects steam in a direction horizontal to the bottom surface (R). The horizontal injection unit 230 includes a horizontal tube 231 and a horizontal nozzle 232.

The horizontal nozzle 232 is provided in the horizontal tube 231 to inject steam toward the side of the vehicle when the vehicle passes through the horizontal tube 231. Thereby, the transmission of the disease through the side of the vehicle can be prevented. To this end, a plurality of horizontal nozzles 232 are arranged at regular intervals.

A connection portion between the vertical pipe 132 and the horizontal pipe 231, and the upper end of the horizontal pipe 231 is provided with a pressure increasing portion 35. The pressure increasing part 35 is formed to have a cross-sectional area larger than that of the vertical pipe 132 and the cross-sectional area of the horizontal pipe 231. As a result, the steam supplied to the steam spraying unit 30 through the steam supply pipe 20 is temporarily collected in the pressure increasing unit 35 to increase the pressure. Therefore, the injection pressure is hardly lowered compared to the portion connected to the steam supply pipe 20 at both ends of the vertical pipe 132 or the horizontal pipe 231.

That is, when the steam is moved along the tube (Duct) having a constant diameter, such as the vertical pipe 132 or the horizontal pipe 231, as the length of the pipe is increased, the possibility that the injection pressure of steam is lowered, injection By installing the pressure increasing unit 35 at a point where the drop in pressure is expected to occur, it is possible to inject steam to the outside at a pressure substantially equal to the pressure provided from the steam generating unit 10.

In this embodiment, the steam supply pipe 20 is shown as being connected to the horizontal pipe 231, but may be connected to the vertical pipe 132, not the horizontal pipe 231, the horizontal pipe 231 and the vertical pipe 132 It can be connected to two places at the same time. Of course, the horizontal tube 231 and the vertical tube 132 may be connected at a plurality of points.

The connecting portion of the vertical pipe 132 and the horizontal pipe 231, and the upper end of the horizontal pipe 231 instead of the pressure increasing portion 35 having a larger cross-sectional area than the vertical pipe 132 and the horizontal pipe 231 In order to increase the injection pressure of the vertical pipe 132 and the horizontal pipe 231 may be provided with a pressure increasing device (35). The pressure increasing device 35 is provided with a pressure sensor (not shown) to detect the steam injection pressure in the vertical pipe 132 and the horizontal pipe 231 below the set value to automatically increase the injection pressure Let's do it. As a result, the injection pressure is hardly lowered compared to a portion connected to the steam supply pipe 20 at both ends of the vertical pipe 132 or the horizontal pipe 231.

Referring to Figures 1, 6 and 7 will be described the control flow and steam sterilization method of the steam protection apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, the controller 40 may adjust the amount of steam supplied to the steam injection unit 30 by controlling the opening and closing of the supply valve (not shown) provided in the steam supply pipe 20. Such a supply valve may be provided in the vertical pipe 132 and the horizontal pipe 231 instead of the steam supply pipe 20.

Approach detection sensor 50 detects the vehicle approach to the steam injection unit 30 (S10). Approach detection sensor 50 is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the steam injection unit 30 toward the entry direction of the vehicle, and detects when the vehicle passes through the access detection sensor 50 to detect the approach detection signal to the control unit 40 send. Since the approach detection sensor 50 in the present embodiment uses a general approach detection sensor, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The controller 40 controls the operation of the steam spraying unit 30 based on the received access detection signal from the approach detecting sensor 50. That is, when the approach of the vehicle is detected, the supply valve is opened to start the injection of steam through the steam injection unit 30 (S20). Accordingly, when the vehicle passes through the steam injection unit 30, the lower part of the vehicle is steam sterilized by the vertical nozzle 133, and both sides of the vehicle are steam sterilized by the horizontal nozzle 232.

Pass detection sensor 60 detects whether the vehicle passes the steam injection unit 30 (S30). The pass detection sensor 60 is disposed to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance to the opposite side of the approach detection sensor 50, and detects when the vehicle passes the pass detection sensor 60 and transmits a pass detection signal to the control unit 40. . In the present embodiment, since the detection sensor 60 has the same detection principle as the approach detection sensor 50, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The controller 40 controls the operation of the steam injection unit 30 based on the case where the passage detection signal is received from the passage detection sensor 60. That is, when the passage of the vehicle is detected, the supply valve is closed to stop the injection of steam through the steam injection unit 30 (S40). Accordingly, when the vehicle passes through the steam spraying unit 30 and steam sterilization of the vehicle becomes meaningless, an increase in cost due to unnecessary steam injection may be suppressed.

In addition, the water tank (11) may be added to the medicine (control liquid) in addition to the water, through this can be sterilized by the medicinal herbs as well as the prevention of high-temperature steam, to effectively carry out the prevention activities in the situation of high risk It becomes possible.
