Description

PET ORAL CAVITY STERILIZATION APPARATUS

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pet oral sterilizing apparatus, and more particularly, to a technique for increasing the sterilizing effect of a pet (such as a pet or a pet cat) using an LED.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a device capable of effectively sterilizing the mouth of a pet while playing with a pet by having a structure and a shape suitable for the characteristics of the pet.

Recent populations are growing every year due to aging population structure, an increase in one or two households, and a change in perception of pets as a loving friend and family member. On the other hand, It is also pointed out as the cause of asthma.

In particular, it is true that there are various concerns such as the possibility of transferring various diseases to people with weak immunity, such as children and the elderly.

That's why I have made great efforts to keep my pets healthy and clean, including periodic injections, health checks, periodic baths, but I have a lot of trouble keeping my pet's mouth clean.

When a pet eats food, a bacteria film called plaque (plaque) forms in the oral cavity, and the metabolites of the bacteria are ejected, which hardens and becomes tartar. This plaque is a major cause of pet odor and inflammation in the mouth, and oral virus can cause common infectious diseases.

In order to eliminate the breeding of bacteria in the oral cavity of a pet, the pet is also allowed to brush the pet one or two times a day, but it is difficult to brush the subject thoroughly due to the nature of the pet, It is not only very difficult, but also occasionally injures people's hands.

However, in order to solve these problems, most of the tooth care is performed using pet gum in addition to brushing. "Multifunctional gum for pets and a method for producing the same" of Patent Registration No. 10-1009988 registered in the Korean Intellectual Property Office is for the gum health using the physical force to remove foreign substances in pet mouths, Patent No. 10-1362704 discloses an oral sterilizing device which sterilizes a human oral cavity using a light permeable mouthpiece part and an LED array adapted to a human oral cavity shape and has many problems to be applied directly to a pet have.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problem by enhancing the sterilization effect of the pet in the oral cavity and having a structure using the instinct and the habit of the pet .

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of sterilizing an animal's mouth by applying a pressure to a place where a pet animal's upper and lower teeth are made of a pressure transmitting pin of a pressure switch unit and a compression spring And when the electrode is connected to the electrode rod by the electrode of the pressure transmission pin, the LED emits light, and the light is transmitted through the light transmitting portion to the interior of the pet mouth to sterilize the pet.

The pressure transmitting pin of the pressure switch unit is not operated at unnecessary pressure by using a compression spring so that the LED can be operated only when the pet is holding the pet mouth disinfecting device of the pet and the pet, By sterilizing by light irradiation through the light transmitting portion, the eyes of the pet can be protected.

In addition, a torsion spring and a release spring may be used instead of a compression spring capable of operating at a constant pressure. Depending on the size and shape of the light transmitting portion, a plurality of pressure switch portions may be formed inside the pet oral sterilizing device have.

The LED may be irradiated with a light having a wavelength of 240 to 295 nm, a light having a wavelength of 320 to 420 nm or a wavelength of 630 to 800 nm, or a combination of LEDs.

The light transmitting portion may be in the form of a play device preferred by a pet, and may be in close contact with the front surface of the LED to transmit LED light to sterilize various viruses in the oral cavity of a pet, And can be made of an elastic material to protect the pet's teeth and LEDs.

The pet-friendly band may be mounted outside the light transmitting portion of the pet mouth disinfection device, and it may be possible to insert or fix the snack of the pet so as to attract the pet and sterilize the oral cavity of the pet itself It will be possible.

The constant power LED unit consists of an electrode rod and a battery. The electrode rod is attached to the electrode plate in the form of a flexible rod. The pressure transmission pin moves by the pressure transmission. The electrode of the pressure transmission pin is connected to the electrode rod. But also to an electrode of an adjacent pressure transmission pin.

The present invention has the following excellent effects. First, the present invention is a device that can increase the oral disinfection effect of a pet by using an LED, and has a structure corresponding to instinct and habit of a pet, thereby enabling more efficient and convenient oral disinfection of a pet .

In addition, since the LED is operated only when the pet holds the pet sterilizer, there is an advantage that the damage to the pet eye caused by the LED light can be prevented.

In addition, there is a case where a person directly fingers a pet for toothbrushing, and this is an apparatus that can replace the finger, which has an advantage of reducing a hand injury of a person.

By using a pet-friendly band, putting your pet's favorite food or snack, you will be able to induce your pet to play with itself and kill the mouth.
