The filter 1 is made of a non-woven material having a wrinkle-like porous structure, and is a filter commonly used as an air filter for filtering dust.

The antimicrobial copper material (2) is provided with a supporting frame (10) for capturing the shape of the antibacterial copper material (2), and antibacterial and sterilizing action of air passing through the filtering filter (1) , And a mesh body (20) composed of a copper filament (21) for destroying bacteria and fungal bacteria.

The copper filament 21 forming the mesh body 20 is made of metal copper having a purity of 99% or more or copper alloy filament having a copper content of 60% or more, and is formed in a net shape to enhance air permeability.

Here, copper copper having a purity of 99% or more or copper compound having a copper content of 60% or more is known to be effective for the prevention of infectious diseases having a risk of cross-contamination due to natural antibacterial property of copper itself. Copper copper having a purity of 99% or more or a copper compound having a copper content of 60% or more is referred to as an antimicrobial copper.

The Antimicrobial Copper is the only touch surface material registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which will kill more than 99.9% of the bacteria causing healthcare-associated infections within 2 hours It is known.

The structure of the mesh body 20 composed of the copper filaments 21 constituting the antibacterial copper alloy material 2 is not limited to the net type 30 and the mesh type 20 in order to improve air permeability, (40).

Referring to FIG. 2, the netting 30 includes a bundle yarn 31 and an insertion yarn 32 on the inner side of the support frame 10, and a horizontal or vertical binding yarn 31 The insertion yarn 32 is formed by winding a thin copper strip 21-1 having a small thickness on the outer peripheral surface of the filament yarn and having a narrow width and a long length Thereby forming the mesh body 20 of the net mold 30.

Referring to FIG. 3, the copper strip 21-1 is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the filament yarn.

1, the mesh type die 40 includes a copper filament 21 made of metal copper or a copper alloy on the inner side of the support frame 10 and a copper inclination 21-2 and a copper weft 21-3 So that the copper inclination 21-2 and the copper weft yarn 21-3 intersect with each other to form the meshed body 20 of the mesh type 40. [

The combined structure of the antibacterial copper alloy member 2 and the filter 1 constituted by the net 30 or the mesh 40 inside the support frame 10 can be variously implemented.

- standalone (A)

4, an antibacterial and dynamic member 2 made of a net 30 or a mesh 40 is formed inside the support frame 10 into a stand-alone type component A, So that they can be easily attached and used.

That is, one side of the supporting frame 10 can be easily attached to one side or both sides of the frame housing 1a of the filtering filter 1 during attachment, and this can be easily used because the size of the standard filtering filter 1 So that product compatibility can be enhanced.

- Integrated type (B)

5, an assembly groove 1b is provided inside the housing 1a of the filtration filter 1 so that the antibacterial copper material 2 is adhered to one surface or the other surface of the filtration filter 1 (B-1) or double-sided integrated type (B-2) structure inserted on both sides maximizes the usability and the quality of the filter.

In this case, it can be constituted by the integrated type (B-3) having a pair of filtration filters in a dual structure when manufactured as a unit with the filtration filter and having an antibacterial flow member interposed between the pair of filtration filters.

6, the anti-microbial material 2 is integrally adhered to one surface or both surfaces of the filter 1 before forming the filter corrugation of the filter 1, (B-4) or a double-sided adhesive type (B-5). It is possible to provide an effect of further improving the antibacterial and bactericidal action according to.

At this time, the antibacterial and dynamic member 2 knitted with the net 30 or the mesh 40 without the frame supporting frame 10 of the antibacterial easement material 2 is adhered to the nonwoven fabric forming the filtration filter 1 .

According to the operation of the antibacterial copper filter using the antibacterial copper net according to the present invention, the net type 30 or the mesh type 40 knitted with the copper filament 21 on one side or both sides of the outer side of the filtration filter 1, The copper filament 21 made of a copper alloy having a purity of 99% or more or a copper alloy having a copper content of 60% or more is brought into contact with air on the surface of the filter 1, It is possible to effectively eradicate various bacteria, bacteria, fungi, and the like which can reproduce parasitically on the filter by the antibacterial property possessed by itself.

In other words, by efficiently removing and eliminating various bacteria, bacteria, and pneumophilic bacteria of air passing through the filter (1) by the permanent and continuous antibacterial action of the antibacterial copper material (2) without using deodorant or electric energy, It is possible to prevent the generation of parasitic bacteria caused by bacteria and to provide pleasant air while preventing various diseases.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are views illustrating an example of an antibacterial copper filter using an antibacterial copper mesh according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 7A shows that bacteria, bacteria, and P. aeruginosa were detected as a result of analyzing the filter filter 1 after using only the conventional filter filter 1 for a predetermined period of time.

FIG. 7B shows the result of analysis of the filtration filter 1 after using the antibacterial copper material 2 in the filtration filter 1 under the same conditions as in FIG. 7A. As a result, no bacteria, bacteria, have.

FIGS. 8A and 8B are views illustrating an example of an antibacterial copper filter using an antibacterial copper mesh according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The FITI test institute commissioned an antimicrobial test on the antimicrobial copper material of the present invention, and it was proved that the antimicrobial test material has the action and effect of eradicating bacteria, bacteria and P. aeruginosa.

Therefore, according to the antibacterial copper filter using the antibacterial copper mesh of the present invention, when the antibacterial copper filter of the present invention is used as a filter for air conditioner, heater and air purifier, antimicrobial copper made of copper metal or copper alloy having excellent antibacterial and sterilizing ability By using the main material, it is possible to eliminate the odor by eliminating the fungi and germs generated in the filter without using chemical substances, thereby maximizing the performance and life of the filter.
