The sensor may determine whether the storage device 1 is open, and the on/off of the sterilization lamp 16 may be controlled according to whether the storage device 1 is opened.

If it is determined that the storage device 1 is open, the power of the sterilization lamp 16 is turned off to prevent the ultraviolet light from being generated from the sterilization lamp 16.

When it is determined that the storage device 1 is closed, the power of the sterilization lamp 16 is turned on, so that ultraviolet light may be generated from the sterilization lamp 16 (S2). At this time, the pet care device 5, the plurality of replacement modules 6, the extension module 8, and the cradle 7 are stored inside the storage device 1, and the ultraviolet light Can be sterilized by On the other hand, the storage device (1) is the pet care device (5), the plurality of replacement modules (6), the extension module (8), and whether the cradle (7) is fixed to a plurality of seating grooves It may include a sensor for grasping. Also, on/off of the sterilization lamp 16 may be controlled based on whether the storage device 1 is installed and whether the storage device 1 is opened. For example, it recognizes that the pet care device 5 is mounted in the care device seating groove 221, and when the storage device 1 is closed, the sterilization lamp 16 is turned on and the pet It is possible to sterilize the dragon care device (5). On the other hand, when it is recognized that the care device 5 for pets is not installed in the care device mounting groove 221, and the storage device 1 is closed, the sterilization lamp 16 is turned off and the sterilization lamp (16) can prevent unnecessary operation.

It can be determined whether the operating time of the sterilization lamp 16 reaches the sterilization time set so that the ultraviolet light generated from the sterilization lamp 16 is irradiated for a set time (S3). The set sterilization time may be understood as a preset time in order to prevent ultraviolet curing from occurring in the article stored inside the storage device 1 by irradiated ultraviolet light. The elapsed time can be measured from the point when the ultraviolet light starts to be irradiated. It can be determined whether the elapsed time reaches the set sterilization time. When the elapsed time does not reach the set sterilization time, the sterilization lamp 16 may be turned on to reach the set sterilization time. When the elapsed time reaches the set sterilization time, the sterilization lamp 16 is turned off to terminate the sterilization of the internal space of the storage device 1 (S4).

On the other hand, when a cable is connected to the charging terminal 19 of the storage device 1 and power is supplied from the outside, the storage device battery 18 is charged with power supplied from the outside, and the power transmitter 23 And it is possible to charge the care device battery 5c through the power receiver 5d. On the other hand, when a cable is not connected to the charging terminal 19 of the storage device 1, the care device battery 5c may be charged with the power of the storage device battery 18.

11 is a perspective view of a storage device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a view showing a state of cleaning the interior of the storage device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

11 and 12, the storage device 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a cleaning module 60 for removing foreign substances present in the internal space of the storage device 2. It is characterized.

Pet hair, foreign matter, bacteria, etc. may be attached to the pet care device 5 stored in the internal space of the storage device 2 in the process of managing the pet. Pet hair, foreign substances, bacteria, etc. attached to the pet care device 5 may be introduced into the interior space of the storage device 2 to contaminate the interior space of the storage device 2. Therefore, the cleaning module 60 for cleaning the inner space of the storage device 2 is required. In this embodiment, the cleaning module 60 may suck foreign substances present in the internal space of the storage device 2 to maintain the internal space in a clean state. In the present embodiment, a method of inhaling foreign substances is used, but a method of cleaning the inner space using a brush or the like is also possible.

The storage device 2 may include a plurality of intake ports 61 through which external air is introduced into the internal space, and a plurality of exhaust ports 62 through which air filtered by foreign substances is discharged. In this embodiment, the intake port 61 may be disposed on one surface of the storage device 2, and the exhaust port 62 may be disposed on the other surface of the storage device 2. For example, the intake port 61 and the exhaust port 62 may be provided on both end surfaces of the storage device 2 having a predetermined width. When the intake port 61 and the exhaust port 62 are provided on both sides of the storage device 2 spaced apart from each other, the flow distance of air increases, and foreign matter existing in the internal space of the storage device 2 Can be inhaled efficiently. The positions of the intake port 61 and the exhaust port 62 may be changed to various positions. In the present embodiment, it will be described that the intake port 61 is formed on one surface of the first case 10 and the exhaust port 62 is formed on one surface of the second case 20.

In this embodiment, the cleaning module 60 includes a fan 601 for generating air flow, a rotation shaft 602 connected to the fan 601, and the fan 601 connected to the rotation shaft 602. ) May include a motor 603 to supply rotational force. When the fan 601 rotates, a suction force through which air is sucked through the intake port 61 may be generated. In addition, when the fan 601 rotates, a discharge output through which air is discharged to the outside of the storage device 2 through the exhaust port 62 may be generated. The motor 603 may be operated by receiving power through the storage device battery 18 of the storage device 2. The fan 601, the rotation shaft 602, and the motor 603 may be disposed in any one of the first case 10 and the second case 20. For example, the fan 601, the rotation shaft 602, and the motor 603 are spaced between the second case 20 and the second inner fixture 21 or the first case 10 ) And the second internal fixture 21 may be disposed in a space between. That is, it may be disposed in any one of the first accommodation space 101 and the second accommodation space 201. In addition, the accommodation space in which the cleaning module 60 is disposed may be configured to be partitioned from the accommodation space in which a plurality of electronic components are disposed. The purpose of dividing the receiving space in which the cleaning module 60 is disposed from the receiving space in which a plurality of electronic parts are disposed is to prevent foreign substances contained in the air from adhering to the plurality of electronic parts.

In any one of the first internal fixture 11 and the second internal fixture 21 on which the cleaning module 60 is disposed, the air introduced through the intake port 61 is transferred to the cleaning module 60 Inlet 219 to flow toward the fan 601 of) may be formed. That is, the air introduced into the intake port 61 may be introduced into the inlet port 219 after passing through the internal space of the storage device 2.

The cleaning module 60 may include a filter 604 for filtering foreign substances from the air introduced through the inlet 219 and a foreign substance storage 605 in which foreign substances filtered by the filter 604 are stored. . Based on the air flow direction, the foreign material storage 605 may be disposed downstream of the inlet 219. The filter 604 may be disposed downstream of the foreign material storage 605 to filter foreign substances from the air that has passed through the foreign material storage 605. Since the filter 604 is disposed downstream of the foreign material storage 605, the foreign material filtered by the filter 604 may be stored in the foreign material storage 605. Air passing through the filter 604 may be discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 62. The fan 601 may be disposed downstream of the filter 604 and may be disposed upstream of the exhaust port 62. That is, when the fan 601 is rotated, air may be forced to flow from the intake port 61 toward the exhaust port 62. In addition, the foreign matter storage 605 and the filter 604 are configured to be detachable to discharge foreign substances stored in the foreign substance storage 605 or remove foreign substances attached to the filter 604.
