1 to 3, a small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 110, an LED 120, and a double-sided diffusion unit 130.

The main body 110 is formed in a box shape in which a receiving space is formed therein. In this embodiment, the main body 110 is illustrated as being formed in the shape of a hexahedron-shaped box. In the upper portion of the main body 110, an inlet 111 for allowing the device 1 to be sterilized .

The device 1 to be sterilized by the small electronic device sterilizing device 100 according to the present embodiment may be a small electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook computer, etc. In addition, a notebook, a wallet, And the like can be subject to sterilization of the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100. [ In this embodiment, the case where the notebook computer is the device 1 to be sterilized will be described as an example.

An LED (LED) 120 is provided in the main body 110 to emit ultraviolet rays. In this embodiment, the LED 120 is disposed on the bottom surface of the main body 110 in contact with the accommodation space.

The LED 120 irradiates ultraviolet rays having a peak wavelength of 200 to 280 nm toward the device 1 through a double-sided diffusion unit 130 to be described later, and irradiates the surface of the device 1 to be sterilized A plurality of light sources are provided so as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance so that ultraviolet light can be uniformly irradiated.

Among ultraviolet rays, ultraviolet rays having a peak wavelength of 240 to 280 nm, particularly ultraviolet rays having a peak wavelength at 275 nm, are excellent in sterilizing effect.

In this embodiment, it is exemplified that the LED 120 emits ultraviolet rays having a peak wavelength at 275 nm, and the sterilizing action actively occurs on the surface of the device 1 due to the action of the LED 120 thus provided .

The double-sided diffusion portion 130 is formed in a flat plate shape having a front surface a and a rear surface b and is installed in the main body 110 such that the front surface a and the back surface b are arranged in the longitudinal direction in the accommodation space .

The double-sided diffusing unit 130 may be composed of a single plate material or a laminate of a plurality of plate materials.

The two-sided diffusing unit 130 has a flat plate shape, and has two areas that have the largest area of the faces among the faces and face each other as the surfaces a and b.

The surface a and the backside b having an area having the largest area become the outgoing surface for emitting ultraviolet rays and one side facing the LED 120 becomes the incoming surface c. In other words, the ultraviolet light incident on the light incidence surface c is uniformly distributed in the both-side diffusion portion 130, and then emitted to the both surfaces a and b.

That is, the double-side diffusion unit 130 receives ultraviolet light emitted from the LED 120 through the light-entering surface c facing the LED 120, and diverges the light toward the surface a and the surface b.

The double-sided diffusion portion 130 is preferably made of a transparent material having a high ultraviolet transmittance. As an example, a PMMA material may be used as the material of the double-sided diffusion portion 130.

Not all kinds of PMMA have good ultraviolet transmittance, but they have a higher ultraviolet transmittance as the acrylic polymer containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer units in the amount of 85 to 100% by weight is closer to pure acrylic, .

However, the special acrylic for increasing the transmittance of PMMA is not good in moldability when compared with general polymers, so it may be difficult to manufacture compared to conventional polymers. However, since the transparency is high, the strength is good, Considering that it is easy, it is very reasonable as material of double sided diffusion unit.

Quartz may be used as the material of the double-sided diffusion portion 130. Quartz is ideal in that it has a high light transmittance in any wavelength range, but it is not as easy to apply than a polymer because it is difficult to produce and requires very careful handling because of its high brittleness.

In this embodiment, the double-sided diffusing unit 130 is exemplified as including a first light pipe 131 and a second light pipe 135, as shown in FIGS.

The first light guide plate 131 is for distributing and diverging light incident from the light incidence surface c toward the surface a and the second light guide plate 135 is for guiding the light incident from the light incidence surface c to the back surface b, To distribute and diverge.

The light incident surface c of the first light guide plate 131 and the light incident surface c of the second light guide plate 135 are formed on the same plane so that the ultraviolet rays emitted from the LED 120 are uniformly transmitted through the first light guide plate 131 ) And the second light guide plate 135, respectively.

Sloped surfaces 132 and 136 are respectively formed on surfaces facing the front surface a of the first light guide plate 131 and on the rear surface b of the second light guide plate 135, 132, and 136 may be provided with a diffusion pattern (sign is omitted). The diffusion pattern may be formed in such a manner as to impart roughness to the surface through the roughening treatment.

The double-sided diffusion unit 130 including the first light guide plate 131 and the second light guide plate 135 passes through the light guide plates 131 and 135 after the ultraviolet light is incident into the light guide plates 131 and 135, Ultraviolet rays are uniformly irradiated through the front surface (a) and the back surface (b), which are the light exiting surfaces of the light guide plates 131 and 135, by causing the ultraviolet rays to be reflected on the inclined surfaces 132 and 136 when going out.

In addition, reflection layers 133 and 137 may be additionally formed on the inclined surfaces 132 and 136 on which the diffusion pattern is formed.

The reflective layers 133 and 137 transmit the diffused pattern and reflect the UV light, which is emitted to the outside of the inclined surface, to the inside of the light guide plates 131 and 135, thereby improving the light efficiency.

Also, the diffusion pattern may be formed in such a form that the area increases as the distance from the light incidence surface (c) increases. Since the reaching rate of ultraviolet rays decreases as the distance from the light incidence surface (c) decreases, if the diffusion pattern is formed in a trapezoidal shape in which the area increases as the distance from the incidence surface (c) increases, the UV light can be uniformly diffused as a whole It is because.

The double-sided diffusion unit 130 formed in the above-described manner can emit ultraviolet light emitted from the LED 120, which is a point light source, into a surface light source and diverge it in a plurality of directions.

In addition, the both-side diffusion part 130 may be formed to have a wedge-shaped cross section whose thickness decreases as it is further along the longitudinal direction on the light incidence surface (c).

The double-sided diffusion unit 130 thus formed provides an inclined surface that allows the device 1 to be sterilized to be stably supported on the front surface (a) or the back surface (b) of the double-sided diffusion unit 130 And it is possible to provide a sloped surface that allows a small electronic apparatus such as a notebook computer provided in a foldable form to be stably mounted on the double-sided diffusion unit 130.

In the meantime, the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment may further include a mounting portion 140, a reflecting portion 150, and a cover 160.

The mounting portion 140 is provided to support the device 1 which is mounted on the both-side diffusion portion 130. [ The mounting portion 140 may be provided with a buffer sponge on the upper end of the double-side diffusion portion 130 facing the light incidence surface c.

The mounting portion 140 provided as described above not only provides a friction surface that allows a small electronic apparatus such as a notebook computer to be stably mounted on the top of the double-sided diffusion portion 130 without slipping, And serves to prevent the appliance 1 or the both-side diffusion portion 130 from being damaged due to direct contact between the both-side diffusion portions 130.

The reflection unit 150 is provided to reflect the ultraviolet rays emitted through the both-side diffusion unit 130 to the device 1 side.

The reflective portion 150 is formed by coating aluminum having a high reflectance on the ultraviolet light on the inner surface of the main body 110 surrounded by the lower surface of the main body 110 and the side walls and the bottom surface of the cover 160 facing the main body 110 In addition to aluminum, various other materials having a high reflectance of ultraviolet light may be used as a coating material.

The reflective portion 150 formed as described above reflects the ultraviolet rays emitted through the both-side diffusion portion 130 toward the device 1 accommodated in the main body 110 and concentrates the irradiated region of the ultraviolet rays toward the device 1, So that the sterilizing action of the device 1 made of ultraviolet rays can be made more effectively.

The lid 160 is installed on one side of the main body 110, more specifically, on the upper side of the main body 110 on which the inlet 111 is formed to open and close the inlet 111.

The lid 160 may open the inlet 111 so that the appliance 1 can be inserted into the main body 110 or removed from the main body 110 through the inlet 111, It is possible to shut off the inflow of dust, foreign matter or the like into the main body 110 or shut off the inflow of ultraviolet rays when the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 is operated for sterilization of the apparatus 1 .

According to the present embodiment, the lid 160 is rotatably coupled to the upper side of the main body 110 so that one side of the lid 160 rotates about one side coupled to the main body 110 and opens and closes the inlet 111.

One side of the lid 160 is rotatably coupled to the upper side of the main body 110 through a hinge 165. The lid 160 is hinged to the upper side of the main body 110 in a rotatable manner, It is preferable that a high-grade hinge capable of imparting a damping force to the lid 160 is applied.

Since the coupling between the main body 110 and the lid 160 is performed by using the hinge 165 with the high-grade hinge applied thereto, opening / closing of the lid 160 can be performed only by applying a small force to open / close the lid 160 The opening and closing speed of the lid 160 can be adjusted to an appropriate level so that the opening and closing of the lid 160 can be made smooth and natural so that the opening and closing of the lid 160 can be performed smoothly, The impact applied to the main body 110 can be reduced.

In addition, the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment may further include an opening / closing sensing unit 170.

The ultraviolet rays irradiated through the LED 120 and the double-sided diffusing unit 130 may leak out of the periphery of the main body 110 when the cover 160 is opening the inlet 111 or the inlet 111 is not closed properly It is necessary to check whether or not the lid 160 is properly closing the inlet 111 in order to prevent the ultraviolet rays inside the main body 110 from leaking out of the periphery of the main body 110. [

To this end, the opening / closing detector 170 is provided to acquire information for confirming whether the lid 160 properly closes the accommodation space inside the main body 110.

For example, the opening / closing sensor 170 may include a photosensor installed inside the cover 160. When the inlet port 111 is covered with the lid 160 and the inside of the main body 110 is closed, the opening / closing detector 170 senses that light is blocked inside the main body 110, It is possible to confirm whether or not the inlet port 111 is properly closed.

As another example, two or more trigger switches (not shown) may be protruded from the bottom surface of the lid 160 or around the charging port 111, and depending on whether a plurality of such trigger switches are pressed, The opening / closing detector 170 may be configured to determine whether the inlet 111 is closed.

It is also possible that the above-described opening / closing detector 170 is used together. For example, in a dark room, it may be impossible to detect whether the input port 111 is open or closed by only the photosensitive sensor, and when the trigger switch is operated unintentionally regardless of opening / closing of the input port 111 of the cover 160, It may not be judged whether or not the inlet 111 is closed, but it is possible to overcome this by combining various kinds of the opening / closing sensors 170 as described above.

According to the present embodiment, the lighting of the LED 120 is controlled depending on whether the input port 111 sensed through the opening / closing detection unit 170 is closed.

That is, the LED 120 is turned on only when the input port 111 is detected through the opening / closing sensor 170, and the input port 111 is opened even when the LED 120 is turned on. It is possible to prevent the human body from being harmfully influenced by the ultraviolet rays flowing out of the main body 110 by stopping the lighting of the LED 120 when it is detected.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are views showing an operating state of a small electronic device sterilizing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6. Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a plurality of double-sided diffusers 130 may be installed inside the main body 110. The inside of the main body 110 is divided into a plurality of accommodating spaces by a plurality of double-sided diffusers 130 installed as described above. Each of the plurality of accommodating spaces partitioned in this way includes small electronic apparatuses such as mobile phones, tablets, The same device 1 can be accommodated.

According to the present embodiment, devices 1 housed in two accommodating spaces adjacent to each other in the left-right direction can be sterilized together by using one unit of LED 120 and double-side diffusing unit 130. [

As shown in FIG. 5, different apparatuses 1 can be housed in two accommodating spaces adjacent to each other in the left-right direction around any one of the two-sided diffusers 130, So that the LED 120 for sterilizing the device 1 can be turned on when the inlet 111 is closed.

When the LED 120 is turned on in a state where the devices 1 are housed on both sides of the double-sided diffusion unit 130 as described above, the ultraviolet light emitted from the LED 120 passes through the light- The ultraviolet rays incident on the double-sided diffusing unit 130 are distributed and diverged by the first light guide plate 131 and the second light guide plate 135 and transmitted through both sides of the front surface a and the back surface b Each receiving space is examined.

That is, the double-sided diffusing unit 130 irradiates ultraviolet light emitted from the point light source 120, which is a point light source, to both sides of the surface (a) and the back surface (b) It is possible to uniformly irradiate ultraviolet rays of a large area to all the devices 1 housed in both sides of the both-side diffusing unit 130 alone.

The small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment including the double-sided diffusing unit 130 has a structure in which ultraviolet rays of a large area are stored on both sides of the both-side diffusion unit 130 by lighting only one unit of the LEDs 120 It is possible to uniformly irradiate all of the devices 1 and thus it is possible to simultaneously sterilize the various devices 1 using a small number of the LEDs 120 so that the sterilization operation for small electronic devices can be performed with high efficiency do.

As another example, a device 1 such as a notebook computer may be housed in two accommodating spaces adjacent to each other in the lateral direction around any one of the two-sided diffusers 130, as shown in Fig.

At this time, any one of the two accommodation spaces can accommodate a portion of the input device 11 such as a keyboard, and the other can accommodate the display device 12 portion such as a monitor, and the input device and the display device can be foldably connected The connection portion 13 is placed on the upper end of the both-side diffusion portion 130, and the storage of the device 1 is completed.

Since the mounting unit 140 is provided on the upper end of the double-sided diffusion unit 130 on which the device 1 is mounted, the device 1 can be stably mounted on the double-sided diffusion unit 130 without slipping, It is possible to prevent breakage of the device 1 or the double-sided diffusion portion 130 due to the direct contact between the device 1 and the double-sided diffusion portion 130.

After the housing of the appliance 1 is completed in the main body 110 and the lid 160 is closed by the lid 160 as described above and the LED 120 is turned on, Is irradiated to both sides of the surface (a) and the back surface (b) in the form of a surface light source.

As a result, both the input device 11 and the display device 12, which are accommodated in the adjacent two accommodating spaces, are uniformly irradiated with ultraviolet rays in the form of a surface light source, so that sterilization of the entire notebook computer can be completed with only one sterilization operation.

The apparatus 1 is placed in a state in which the input device 11 and the display device 12 are in contact with the front surface a and the back surface b of the double- Sterilization of the entire notebook computer can be performed in a state in which the device 1 is opened only enough to secure the space required for the device 1 to be mounted on the double-sided diffusion unit 130 without the need to fully open the device 1. [

Therefore, if only the space necessary for accommodating the notebook computer in the folded state of the input device 11 and the display device 12 is secured, sterilization operation of the device 1 such as a notebook computer becomes sufficiently enabled. 1 can be efficiently sterilized and the size of the entire device can be prevented from increasing unnecessarily.

As described above, the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the large-area ultraviolet rays are irradiated to all the devices 1 housed on both sides of the both-side diffusing unit 130 by lighting only one unit of the LEDs 120 It is possible to simultaneously sterilize various apparatuses 1 by using a small number of LEDs 120. This makes it possible to provide a sterilizing apparatus that is small in size and low in manufacturing cost compared with a sterilizing capability that can be simultaneously processed In addition, it is possible to perform the sterilization operation for the entire small electronic device with high efficiency.

In addition, since the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment can effectively sterilize the entire notebook computer without completely expanding the notebook computer, it is possible to efficiently sterilize the device 1 such as a notebook computer, Can be miniaturized.

FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing a cross section of a small electronic device sterilizing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a view showing a small electronic apparatus sterilizing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention . FIG. 9 is a view showing an operation state of a small electronic device sterilizer according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a view showing an operation completion state of a small electronic device sterilizer according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of a small electronic device sterilizing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. FIG.

For convenience of description, the same or similar structures and functions as those of the above-described embodiment are referred to by the same reference numerals, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 200 of another embodiment of the present invention further includes a pop-up control unit 280.

The pop-up control unit 280 controls the lighting of the LED 120 in conjunction with the pressing operation of the double-sided diffusion unit 130. The pop-up control unit 280 controls the lifting and supporting member 281, the elastic supporting member 283, ).

The elevation support member 281 is vertically installed on the main body 110 to support the both-side diffusion portion 130 so as to be able to ascend and descend. The elevation support member 281 is provided between the bottom surface of the main body 110 and the both-side diffusion portion 130 so as to be vertically installed on the main body 110.

As described above, the lifting and lowering supporting member 281 is lowered to the lowered position to light the LED 120 and rise to the lifted position to turn off the LED 120. [

The lowering of the lifting support member 281 may be performed by pressing the both-side diffusion portion 130 toward the bottom surface of the main body 110. When the lifting support member 281 is lowered and raised, The lighting and the lighting can be adjusted in accordance with the information acquired by the position sensing unit (not shown) that senses the position of the lifting support member 281. [

The position sensing unit may include a position sensing sensor that senses the position of the elevation support member 281. The position sensing unit may include a position sensing sensor for sensing the position of the elevation support member 281 according to whether the trigger switch formed on the bottom surface of the elevation support member 281 is pressed Or may be configured to determine whether it is falling or not.

The elastic supporting member 283 is mounted on the main body 110 to support the elevating support member 281 in the upward direction. In this embodiment, it is exemplified that one side is supported on the bottom surface of the main body 110 and the other side is provided with an elastic supporting member 283 in the form of a coil spring for supporting the elevation support member 281. [

The elastic support member 283 thus provided supports the elevation support member 281 in the upward direction and supports the elevation support member 281 by the double-sided diffusion unit 130 which is pressed toward the bottom surface of the main body 110. [ And when the force restricting the elevation of the elevation support member 281 is released, it can be stretched by the elastic restoring force to provide a lifting force for lifting the elevation support member 281. [

The locking member 285 is provided to tilt or restrain the elevation of the elevation support member 281 in conjunction with the pressing operation of the double-sided diffusion portion 130. [

The locking member 285 restrains the elevation of the elevation support member 281 when the elevation support member 281 is lowered and the elevation support member 281 The lifting and supporting member 281 can be lifted up. The detailed structure of the locking member 285 to be operated in this way is well known, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment will be described.

As shown in Fig. 8, when the device 1 is mounted on the double-sided diffusion unit 130, the double-sided diffusion unit 130 is moved downward through the device 1, 9, the elevation support member 281 is lowered to the lowered position, and then the elevation is restrained by the locking member 285, so that the LED 120 can be turned on .

In this state, the LED 120 is not turned on immediately, and when the closing port 160 is closed, the LED 120 is turned on so that ultraviolet rays can be irradiated.

When the LED 120 is turned on in this manner, the ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the entire device 1 through the double-sided diffusion unit 130, and the sterilization operation for the entire device 1 is performed.

After the sterilization operation for the device 1 is completed, if the both-side diffusion portion 130 is pressed downward again through the device 1 mounted on the both-side diffusion portion 130 in the downward direction, The state of the locking member 285 is changed so that the lifting and supporting member 281 is allowed to rise and the lifting and supporting member 281 rises to the lifted position to turn off the LED 120. [

Of course, after the sterilizing operation for the appliance 1 is completed, the lid 160 may be turned off first by opening the inlet 111, but when the elevation support member 281 is raised to the raised position The LEDs 120 are not turned on even when the lid 160 closes the charging port 111. Thus, unnecessary irradiation of the ultraviolet rays and waste of power can be reduced.

The small electronic device sterilizing apparatus 200 of the present embodiment as described above controls the lighting of the LED 120 through the pop-up control unit 280 operated by the pressing operation of the double-sided diffusion unit 130, And thus it is possible to improve the stability and economical efficiency of the apparatus.
