Description

[0001] STERILIZING AND CLEANING APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE [0002]

The present invention relates to a portable sterilizing cleaner, and more particularly, to a portable sterilizing cleaner capable of removing foreign matter and germs attached to a surface by providing ultrasonic vibration and UV light to a cleaning object such as a tooth remover or an ornament stored in the interior, .

In general, toothbrushes such as rings, necklaces, earrings, dentures such as dentures, orthodontics, whitening trays, or those worn on the body, such as glasses, require periodic cleaning for hygienic use, If not, it should be stored in a hygienic environment where bacteria do not propagate.

Conventionally, it has been possible to remove foreign matter on the surface by using a cleaning tool such as a brush for cleaning, or by immersing the object to be cleaned in the washing water for a certain period of time. However, when the cleaning tool is used, the cleaning process is troublesome, In the case of using the washing water, a secondary washing process is required to remove the washing water remaining in the washing object, and the product may be deformed by the washing water.

In order to solve such a problem, a cleaning device has been disclosed in which a UV module is mounted on an upper part of a storage container containing a cleaning object to provide a sterilizing effect by UV light irradiated toward a cleaning object.

In the conventional cleaning apparatus, the cleaned object is kept in a state of being placed on the bottom surface of the container by its own weight, so that the UV light irradiated downward from the top can be incident on the upper and side portions of the object to be cleaned, There is a problem in that the UV light is not incident on the bottom surface which is in close contact with the surface of the substrate.
