Description

Toothbrush sterilizer with sterilization and drying functions

The present invention relates to a toothbrush sterilizer equipped with a sterilization and drying function, and more particularly, a sterilization and drying function that is easy to carry and has a UV lamp and a heating means inside to sterilize and dry the inserted bristles in a short time. It relates to a toothbrush sterilizer equipped with this.

In general, a toothbrush is stored in a storage container or a holder for storing the toothbrush after use, and since the bristles of the toothbrush after use are in a wet state, an environment in which bacteria can propagate is provided. In particular, since the bristles are in direct contact with the teeth and are in a wet state after use, it takes a long time for the moisture to evaporate, resulting in a high bacterial growth rate.

When the bristles in which bacteria are propagated in this way are used, the bacteria are transferred into the oral cavity and cause various oral diseases such as periodontitis.

Therefore, after using the toothbrush, clean management is required to prevent the propagation of bacteria. Currently, there is a method of sterilizing with drying by putting the bristles in a sterilizer equipped with an ultraviolet lamp.

As an example, there is Republic of Korea Utility Model Publication No. 20-2011-0006246 (published on June 22, 2011), the prior art relates to a 'toothbrush sterilizer', a housing configured to accommodate the bristles, and UV light on the toothbrush mall It will include a LED UV lighting means for providing a, power supply means for supplying power to the UV lighting means, and a connector for supplying power applied from the outside to the power supply means.

The prior art has a small size, which is convenient to carry and store, and can intensively sterilize the bristles of the toothbrush.

As another example, Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-2177395 (registered on Nov. 5, 2020) relates to a 'portable UV sterilizer', in which the first body and one side are slidably coupled with respect to one side of the first body. And a body portion comprising a second body,

A UV lamp module installed on one exposed surface of the first body exposed during sliding movement of the second body to irradiate UV, and a UV lamp module built in the main body and connected to the UV lamp module and sliding movement of the second body A UV irradiation unit comprising a UV operation module for controlling the operation of the UV lamp module according to the

A power supply unit built in the main body, charged by receiving power from the outside, and supplying the charged power to the UV irradiation unit;

One end is rotatably coupled to the other side of the second body, and the other end is formed to be spaced apart from the second body by rotating about one end, and the other end rotates around one end to contact the floor surface. And it will include a stand for supporting the main body so as to be erected obliquely.

This prior art sterilizes and sterilizes the object by using the UV irradiated from the UV irradiator disposed on the main body by erecting the main body at an angle through the stand.

However, in the prior art, since the object to be sterilized is exposed to the outside, the sterilization effect is low, and the virus or dust contained in the air is attached to the object to be sterilized, so it is difficult to maintain cleanliness.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a toothbrush sterilizer equipped with a sterilization and drying function according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, in the toothbrush sterilizer 1 having a sterilization and drying function according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , a sterilization room 11 is formed inside, and at one end, the sterilization room 11 and the outside A case 10 including a control room 12 formed at a position opposite to the sterilization room 11 and provided with an entrance hole 14 for communicating with the sterilization room 11; and the sterilization room of the case 10 Toothbrush holder module 20 including a body 21 disposed so as to be able to enter and exit 11, and a holder 22 detachably coupled to the body 21 and on which the toothbrush head CB is detachably mounted; and , a UV lamp 311 disposed in the control room 12 and irradiating UV light to the sterilization room 11 while operating by the applied power and signal, and the applied power and Heating means 312 for heating the air introduced into the sterilization room 11 while operating by a signal are mounted, respectively, and a control PCB for applying power and a signal to the UV lamp 311 and the heating means 312 ( 31) and a sterilization module 30 including a battery 32 for supplying power to the UV lamp 311 and the heating means 312; and sliding means 40 for movably guiding the body 21 of the toothbrush holder module 20 to the sterilization room 11 of the case 10 .

The case 10 is made in the form of an enclosure in which a sterilization room 11 and a control room 12 are formed, and communicates with the sterilization room 11 and the outside on one side of the entry hole 14 through which the bristles CM enter and exit. ) is formed.

Here, the bristles (CM) can be independently introduced into the sterilization room 11 to be sterilized and dried, but when independently introduced, the user is continuously holding the toothbrush head connected to the bristles (CM) during the sterilization and drying time or the case ( 10) in the state laid down on the floor, the bristles (CM) must be drawn in. The irradiation angle of the UV lamp 311 irradiated to the sterilization room 11 and the distance from the heating means 312 are not maintained, so that the sterilization effect and The drying effect cannot be increased.

Therefore, the entry hole 14 allows the bristles CM to be introduced independently, but it is preferable to be introduced into the sterilization room 11 while being stably mounted on the toothbrush holder module 20 to be described later.

On the other hand, there is no particular limitation on the shape and size of the sterilization room 11, but in the case of the shape, it is preferable that the toothbrush holder module 20 is made of a space of a straight line to support the movement in a straight line in the sterilization room 11, , ensure the irradiation angle of UV-C irradiated from the UV lamp 311 of the sterilization module 30 disposed in the control room 12 in the case of the size, and the air heated by the heating means 312 can circulate. Applicable to any size.

For example, when the area of the bristles, which is a sterilization object, is 1 cm * 2.5 cm, based on a relatively long distance of 2.5 cm, the wavelength of ultraviolet rays irradiated from the UV lamp 311 is UV-C of 275 nm, and the bactericidal power is 99.9 %, when the energy used is 15mJ/cm2, the UV lamp 311 can obtain the highest energy efficiency when the irradiation angle is 30°.

The air circulation hole 15 is formed in a direction opposite to the entrance hole 14, and external air flows into the sterilization room through the entrance hole 14, and the air in the sterilization room passes through the air circulation hole 15. As it is discharged to the outside, the drying effect can be increased by circulating external air and the air of the sterilization room, and the temperature of the sterilization room is prevented from continuously rising by the operation of the heating means 312 to prevent melting and ignition of the bristles. Damage to the bristles can be minimized.

In addition, the case 10 is further provided with a cover 13 for opening and closing one side of the control room 12 , and the cover 13 is used for repairing or repairing the control PCB 31 disposed in the control room 12 . When replacing the battery 32, one side of the control room 12 is opened so that the corresponding operation can be easily performed.

In this case, an anti-slip pattern 131 is further formed on one surface exposed to the outside of the cover 13 to prevent slipping when the user grips the cover 13 .

And a coupling pin 132 is provided on the edge of the cover 13 , and a pair of the coupling pins 132 are symmetrically formed on the edge of the cover 13 .

On the other hand, the control room 12 is provided with a fixed frame 16 to which the cover 13 is detachably coupled and prevents the displacement of the battery 32 constituting the sterilization module 30 to be described later.

The fixed frame 16 includes a base material 161 in the form of a flat plate and a pair of spacing maintaining pieces 162 each protruding toward the control room 12 and formed symmetrically at the edge of the base material, A recess 163 to which the coupling pin 132 of the cover 13 is detachably coupled is formed in the gap maintaining piece 162 .

This fixed frame 16 limits the space of the control room 12 to minimize the movement of the battery 32 inside the control room 12 during movement, and the space keeping piece 162 is the battery 32 disposed therein. This is to secure space for

The toothbrush holder module 20 is configured to be able to enter and exit the case 10 , and the toothbrush bristles (CM), which are objects to be sterilized, are mounted. 21 and a holder 22 detachably coupled to the body 21 and on which the toothbrush head CB is detachably mounted.

The body 21 is formed with an accommodating space capable of accommodating the bristles CM mounted on the holder 22 . The accommodating space has an opening 211 with one open side formed therein through the sterilization module 30 . The irradiated UV-A, UV-C rays are transmitted to the bristles, and an open hole 212 communicating with the air circulation hole 15 is formed so as not to obstruct the flow of air.

And the body 21 may be made of a transparent synthetic resin material or glass material so that the bristles mounted in the state discharged from the sterilization room 11 of the case 10 can be checked from the outside, which is one embodiment and thus Of course, it is not limited.

Subsequently, a coupling groove 213 and a coupling protrusion 214 to which the holder 22 is detachably coupled are formed in the body 21 , respectively, and the coupling recess 213 connects the inner and outer surfaces of the body 21 to each other. It is formed through, and the coupling protrusion 214 is formed to protrude from the inner surface of the body 21 , and a pair is formed symmetrically to each other, and is fitted to the concave surface 223 of the holder 22 to be described later.

And in the body 21, a through hole 215 for circulating air is formed together with the above-described open hole 212, and the body 21 is introduced into the sterilization room 11, that is, in the sterilization and drying process. A stopping protrusion 216 is formed to limit the movement direction of the circulating air.

The locking jaw 216 is formed at the lower end of the body 21 based on FIG. 5 showing the movement of air during the operation of the sterilization bristles, which will be described later, so that the bristles CM are drawn into the sterilization room 11 of the body. restricts the downward movement of air in the sterilization room.

Through this, the heated air inside the sterilization room is discharged to the outside through the air circulation hole formed at the top, and the air is circulated as new air is introduced through the entrance hole, thereby maximizing the drying effect.

The holder 22 is detachably coupled to the body 21 and the toothbrush head CB is detachably mounted. A holding groove 221 to be coupled, a protrusion 222 that is formed to protrude outward from the outer surface and detachably coupled to the body 21, and a pair of concave surfaces 223 formed symmetrically on both sides in the width direction. includes

The holder 22 is made of a soft synthetic resin or rubber material having an elastic restoring force or a combination thereof to elastically press the mounted toothbrush rest (CB) to elastically press the outer surface of the mounted toothbrush rest (CB). And for this, the holding groove 221 is formed in a 'C' shape with one side open, and the opened interval is formed to have a relatively narrow interval compared to the outer width of the toothbrush rest (CB) and mounted thereon. elastically press the outer surface of

The protrusion 222 is formed to protrude outward from the outer surface of the holder 22 and is detachably fitted into the coupling groove 213 formed in the body 21 .

The concave surface 223 is formed at both ends of the holder 22 in the width direction, and the engaging protrusions 214 formed on the body 21 are fitted to each other, wherein the concave surface 223 and the engaging protrusions 214 are The concave surface 223 and one surface of the engaging protrusion 214 are coupled in a form in which the male and female are not fitted, but in a form in which the concave surface 223 is in close contact with the holder 22 as described above. Since it is made of a soft synthetic resin or rubber material or a combination thereof, it is in close contact with the abutting coupling protrusion 214 and maintains the adhered state through the surface friction force of the synthetic resin or rubber material.

Removably coupling the holder 22 to the body 21 through the protrusion 222 and the concave surface 223 made as described above is to be contaminated by foreign substances while the body 21 is exposed to the outside. In this case, the holder 22 is separated from the body 21 when it is separated from the case 10 and washed, and then washed and dried.

This is to prevent the holder made of synthetic resin or rubber material or a combination thereof from being deformed depending on the washing and drying environment, such as the temperature of the washing water, the nature of the washing water, or the drying temperature.

On the other hand, the holding groove 221 is further provided with a pressing protrusion 224 for fixing in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the inserted toothbrush rest CB to elastically press it. 221) is formed to protrude in a direction opposite to each other in a pair of powder forming the opening.

At this time, the arrangement position and arrangement number of the pressing protrusion 224 for fixing is not limited to the position and number shown as variously changeable, of course.

The fixing pressing protrusion 224 is to correspond to the toothbrush rest CB having various thicknesses and widths, and the pressing projection for fixing the outer peripheral surface of the toothbrush rest CB having a relatively thin thickness compared to the holding groove 221 ( 224) is elastically pressurized to allow mounting.

The sterilization module 30 is disposed in the control room 12 of the case 10 to sterilize and dry the bristles introduced into the sterilization room 11, for this purpose, a UV lamp 311 and a heating means 312 ) includes a control PCB 31 each mounted thereon, and a battery 32 for supplying power to operate the UV lamp 311 and the heating means 312 .

The control PCB (31) includes a UV lamp (311), a heating means (312) and a communication unit (314) disposed in the control room (12) and capable of transmitting and receiving data with an external device, and the UV lamp ( 311) and the control unit 313 for controlling the operation of the heating means 312 are mounted in the form of a PCB board, wherein the structure and operation relationship of the communication unit 314 and the control unit 313 are well known, so detailed description should be omitted.

Here, the control PCB 31 is configured to allow the communication unit 314 to transmit and receive data to and from an external device, and the external device refers to a portable terminal capable of wireless communication, such as a user's smart phone.

In addition, a control program for controlling the operation of the control PCB 31 and checking the operation state is pre-installed in the external device in the form of an application, and this application is a known control program and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The UV lamps 311 are mounted on the control PCB 31, and a plurality of UV lamps 311 are mounted at positions spaced apart from each other.

Here, the UV lamp 311 is disposed at a position spaced apart from each other, and a pair of UV-A lamps 311a irradiating the UV-A wavelength to the outside while operating by the applied power and signal, and the UV-A lamp It is disposed between the 311a and consists of a UV-C lamp 311b that irradiates a UV-C wavelength to the outside while operating by the applied power and signal.

The UV-A wavelength irradiated from the UV-A lamp 311a is a wavelength of 315 to 400 nm and is known to have the characteristics of thickening the leaves of plants or promoting the color development of pigments and attracting pests.

However, as is known, the UV-A lamp 311a irradiated in the present invention is configured to irradiate the 405 nm wavelength because the sterilization effect cannot be expected at the 315 to 400 nm wavelength, which is the UV-A wavelength.

The 405 nm wavelength is a wavelength at the boundary between the UV-A wavelength (315-400 nm) and the visible light wavelength (400-800 nm), and it is a wavelength that can be sterilized and is harmless to the human body.

The expected sterilization effect at 405nm wavelength is to use the principle of ‘porphyrin reaction decomposition’, which sterilizes the substance that reacts the most at 405nm called porphyrin that exists in bacteria.

As is known, the UV-C lamp 311b irradiates light with the highest sterilization effect, but has a disadvantage that it is harmful to the human body and should not be exposed to the outside and is relatively expensive compared to the UV-A lamp 311a.

Therefore, in the present invention, a UV-C lamp 311b with high price but high sterilization power is arranged, and although the price is relatively low and sterilization power is limited, UV irradiating light with a wavelength of 405 nm is harmless to the human body. -A high sterilization effect can be expected in a short time by arranging the lamp 311a.

The heating means 312 is disposed surrounding the UV lamp 311 and operates by the applied power and signal to heat the air in the sterilization room, and the heating means 312 is a ceramic heating bar or resistor or It may be made of any one of the PTC heaters.

On the other hand, the heating means 312 is formed with a heat shield coating layer 34 on the surface disposed toward the UV lamp 311, the heat shield coating layer 34 is heated when the heating means 312 is heated during operation ( By minimizing the direct transfer of the heat of the 312) to the UV lamp 311 and the control PCB 31, the occurrence of abnormal conditions and damage to the UV lamp 311 are prevented.

60 to 70% by weight of alumina, 5 to 10% by weight of clay, 1 to 5% by weight of nickel oxide, 1 to 5% by weight of boron oxide, 10 to 15% by weight of sodium silicate, and A paste composed of 10 to 20 wt% of hollow silica may be used.

The heat shield coating layer is preferably formed to a thickness of 10 to 50 μm, and the heat generated from the heating means 312 by the heat shield coating layer is not transferred to the PCB substrate constituting the control PCB 31, but only in the direction of the bristles. heat can be transferred.

In addition, in order to use the paste as a coating agent, 60 to 70% by weight of alumina, 5 to 10% by weight of clay, 1 to 5% by weight of nickel oxide, 1 to 5% by weight of boron oxide, 10 to 15% by weight of sodium silicate and hollow silica A heat-shielding coating layer may be formed by mixing 10 to 15 parts by weight of water with respect to 100 parts by weight of a mixture of 10 to 20% by weight and slurrying the mixture.

Since alumina constituting the coating agent can react with sodium silicate as a main component for forming the paste to form silica-alumina, heat resistance can be maintained even when the coating layer is deteriorated by heat.

If the alumina is less than 60% by weight, heat resistance is insufficient, and if it exceeds 70% by weight, the durability of the bonding site may be deteriorated while the adhesive strength is decreased, so it is preferable to use it within the above range.

In addition, the clay is added to promote the reaction with alumina by insolubilizing the sodium silicate. If it exceeds the range of 5 to 10 wt %, the adhesive strength is reduced, so it is preferable to be contained within the above range.

In addition, the nickel oxide and boron oxide are contained in the inorganic binder and used as components for lowering the softening point, and when applied to the coating agent, it increases heat resistance and improves stability even when continuously exposed to high temperatures.

The nickel oxide and boron oxide are contained in the range of 1 to 5% by weight, respectively. If the content is too small, the heat resistance at high temperature may be lowered to reduce the durability of the bonding site, and if too much, the adhesive force will be lowered. Since it may cause a defect in bonding, it is preferable to be contained within the above range.

In addition, the hollow silica is contained in the range of 10 to 20% by weight, and functions to promote heat transfer by forming microcavities in the adhesive layer.

By containing the hollow silica, even when heat is applied to the heat shielding coating layer, it is confirmed that the heat is stored for a certain period of time and then released to the outside, thereby exhibiting effective heat shielding performance.

The hollow silica is made into droplets with an aqueous solution of alkoxysilane, an acid is added thereto to hydrolyze the droplets, and then a base is added to bind the droplets to form a shell, and then etch the inside of the shell with an organic solvent After forming a hollow, it can be prepared by filtration and then drying.

This hollow silica has an internal cavity of 40 to 500 nm, and can be prepared by a conventional manufacturing method disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1724603 or other documents.

The battery 32 provides electricity necessary for the UV lamp 311 and the heating means 312 , and is detachably coupled to the control room 12 .

And, the battery 32 can be recharged through the charging terminal 33 provided in the control PCB 31, and since such a rechargeable battery is well known, a detailed description of the structure and operation relationship will be omitted.
