In addition, on the bottom case 200, the sterilization progress status output through the message generator 780 for the article 600 sensed by the seating detection means 231 provided in the seating portion 220 is displayed as a voice. It will be possible to provide a separate notification means 260 for giving.

On the other hand, the surface 221 of the seating part 220 according to the present invention has a thickness (t1) of 0.04 to 40 μm for surface protection with any one selected from transparent resin, translucent resin, and colored resin as shown in FIG. By forming the first functional layer 222 with the coating film of, as well as preventing the surface 221 from being scratched or damaged, it functions to prevent the seating part 220 from being easily discolored by UV irradiation.

It is preferable that the first functional layer 222 is uniformly formed by coating treatment by electrodeposition coating, resin coating, powder coating, electrostatic coating, spray coating, or the like.

In addition, on the first functional layer 222, a second function having a thickness (t2) of 0.04 to 40 μm is a coating solution composed of a mixture ratio of 10 to 50%: 50 to 90% of a fluorine solution and a volatile solution. By forming a layer 223, users can be prepared for a case in which cosmetics adhered to the fingers, etc. during the use of the storage container 100, in particular, get on the surface 221 of the seating part 220 with fingerprint marks. It functions to prevent this.

Among the coating solutions, in particular, when the mixing ratio of the fluorine solution is too low to be 10% or less, the thickness (t2) of the second functional layer 223 is 0.04 after the volatile solution is volatilized during the drying process. Since there is a possibility that it may be formed too low to be less than µm, it may not be able to properly exhibit its function.

On the other hand, when the mixing ratio of the fluorine solution is too high to be 50% or more, the thickness t2 of the second functional layer 223 is formed too thick to be 40 μm or more, so that the surface of the seating part 220 itself Since there is a possibility that the texture for (221) may be deteriorated, it is desirable to appropriately set the mixing ratio.

The second functional layer 223 can be formed by coating the surface 221 of the seating portion 220 by a spray method or the like.

In another method, the second functional layer 223 is formed of a polymer or oligomer resin, and its thickness (t2) on the surface 221 of the seating portion 220 by the aforementioned spray method or the like. It is possible by coating with 0.04 to 40㎛.

If the thickness (t1, t2) of the first functional layer 222 and the second functional layer 223 according to the present invention is formed too thin to be 0.04 μm or less, the seating portion from the stimulation caused by the article 600 There is a risk that the surface 221 of the 220 may be easily scratched or damaged. On the other hand, if the surface 221 of the seat 220 is formed too thick to be more than 40 μm, the surface 221 corresponding to the characteristics of the material of the seating portion 220 itself Since there is a possibility of deteriorating the texture of the material, it is preferable to appropriately form the thicknesses (t1, t2) within the above limiting range.

And the first functional layer 222 and the second functional layer 223 are naturally dried, hot air drying at 40 to 120°C for 5 to 60 minutes, or cold air drying at less than 40°C. It is desirable to form the 221) with care so as not to cause a peeling phenomenon.

Furthermore, the first functional layer 222 and the second functional layer 223 according to the present invention are formed on the surface of the exterior portion 310 provided in the top case 300 of the storage container 100, Functional effects as mentioned above can be expected.

On the other hand, one surface of the light reflecting member 510 according to the present invention may be provided with any one of a material capable of light reflecting, such as a thin film or a sheet, while the other surface is coated with an adhesive material having a thickness of 0.002 to 0.2 mm to prevent light leakage. It has a configuration attached to the inside of the prevention shade 301.

The light reflective material is composed of any one selected from Mg, Al, Cu, Ti, Ag, Ni, Cr, Fe, and mirror, and the adhesive material is silicone-based, acrylic-based, urethane-based, synthetic resin-based, fluororesin-based, epoxy-based, PET It may be composed of any one or two or more selected from the (PET) system.

When the thickness of the adhesive material is made too thin to be less than 0.002mm, the adhesive strength is weak and peeling may occur easily. If the thickness is too thick to be 0.2mm or more, the adhesive material is outside the edge of the light reflecting member 510 Since there is a risk of being excessively exposed, it is preferable to apply it with an appropriate thickness within the above limiting range.

In contrast, the light reflecting member 510 is a mixture of any one or two or more selected from Mg, Al, Cu, Ti, Ag, Ni, Cr, and Fe, and the light leakage prevention shade (PVD) method (Pphysical Vapor Deposition) method ( It will also function to form by vapor deposition on the arrangement surface 302 provided inside the 301.

On the other hand, with reference to the accompanying Figure 11 as a first embodiment of the circuit configuration means for solving the problem of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

In the present invention, the power switch 280 for initiating sterilization is turned on, and the product 600 to be sterilized is seated in the seating part 220 provided in the storage room 210 of the storage container 100 The seating detecting means 231 provided with a sensor or the like is configured as a means for detecting the seating detection signal S1 and generating the seating detecting signal S1.

In addition, when the seating detection signal S1 is generated, it detects that the top case 300 provided in the storage container 100 is arbitrarily opened due to the user's careless dropping, etc., and the open detection signal S2 An open detection means 232 provided with a sensor or a switch as a means for generating the is configured on the outer periphery of the storage room 210 provided in the bottom case 200.

When the open detection signal S2 is generated, the driving voltage supplied to the UV device 501 through the UV (Ultra Violet) voltage output unit 760 is blocked, and the ultraviolet rays emitted from the UV device 501 The controller 710 is configured to output a control signal CS1 for preventing the user's body from being irradiated to the protect unit 750.

At this time, when the control signal CS1 is output, the top case 300 is randomly opened through the message generating unit 780 to an external notification means 260, for example, a sound such as a beep-beep. It is composed of alarming.

In addition, the control unit 710 monitors the voltage Vo of the power supply unit 720 charged through the charging/communication port 270 provided in the bottom case 200 in real time by the low voltage monitoring unit 730, and the control button (This is also referred to as a “control unit”.) If the driving voltage Vd of the UV element 501 set in the setting unit 770 through 250 (also referred to as “rated voltage”) is determined to be less than (Vo< This is because the sterilization operation for the article 600 may not proceed normally due to Vd), that is, the lack of the driving voltage Vd of the UV device 501 (eg, if it is less than 3.4V).

Looking at the meaning of the aforementioned lack of driving voltage (Vd) (for example, less than 3.4V), in general, the UV device 501, that is, the rated voltage for driving the UV LED, is according to the manufacturer. There may be a slight difference, but when using LG Innotek's LEUVA33U70UL01 product as a specification, the rated voltage ranges from 3.4 to 3.6V at light output of 1,100 to 1,210mW.

In other words, taking an example of the driving voltage Vd, when it is lower than the rated voltage range, that is, less than 3.4V, the intensity of ultraviolet rays irradiated from the UV element 501 (this is also referred to as "light output". ) May be less than 100 μW per 1 cm 2, so that a desirable sterilizing effect cannot be performed.

Therefore, it is characterized by including a configuration for outputting a control signal CS2 for blocking the driving voltage Vd supplied to the UV device 501 through the UV voltage output unit 760 to the protect unit 750. .

On the other hand, with reference to the accompanying Figure 12 as a second embodiment of the circuit configuration means for solving the problem of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

In the present invention, the power switch 280 for initiating sterilization is turned on, and the seating state of the article 600 to be sterilized in the seating portion 220 provided in the storage room 210 of the storage container 100 As a means for detecting and generating a seating detecting signal S1, a seating detecting means 231 provided with a sensor or the like is configured.

In addition, when the seating detection signal S1 is generated, an ultra violet (UV) voltage output unit 760 is configured to supply a driving voltage Vd to the UV device 501.

For the driving voltage Vd output from the UV voltage output unit 760, the on time period Ta is set shorter than the off time period Tb in the setting unit 770 through the control button 250 A control unit 710 is configured to output a control signal CS3 for repetition in an On/Off-Time period (T1) to the switching unit 790.

At this time, by providing the switching unit 790 according to the present invention at the front end of the UV voltage output unit 760, it is possible to repeatedly control the on/off time period (T1) mentioned above. It will be possible.

In the on/off time period (T1), the on-time period (Ta) is an off-time period (Tb) based on 1 minute, that is, 60 seconds, as shown in FIG. ), it is preferable to repeat it by setting shorter than 60 times, more preferably 60 to 180 times, through the setting unit 770.

For example, even if it is being stored in the storage room 210 of the storage container 100 by primarily sterilizing the product 600 that has been used by the user, temperature/humidity, etc., depending on the high temperature and high humidity season and the storage location, visit place, etc. Since the environment is different, there is a concern for the propagation of bacteria, so it is desirable to automatically perform a repetitive sterilization operation with a certain period of time.

In other words, it is turned on for driving the UV device 501 so that the UV light is irradiated to the article 600 with an off-time period Tb for 1 to 3 hours, that is, every 60 to 180 minutes or more. The time period Ta is set by the setting unit 770 through the control button 250 for at least 60 seconds, so that repetitive sterilization is performed.

At this time, the sterilization time and intensity of the ultraviolet rays irradiated from the UV device 501 during the on-time period (Ta) are determined by the type of article 600 (eg, rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc.) and the characteristics of the material (eg , Metal, leather, cloth, jade, pearl, synthetic resin, etc.), it is set differently in the setting unit 770, but in particular, it is preferable to sterilize by irradiating the intensity of the ultraviolet rays to at least 100 μW per 1 ㎠.

In other words, for example, if the product 600 to be sterilized is a family material, it is easier to propagate bacteria than a metal material, and because ultraviolet rays must penetrate deep into the epidermis, the sterilization time must be longer and the ultraviolet intensity is also stronger. Will have to do.
