On the other hand, the present invention suggests an example in which the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is further configured as shown in FIG. 4 and the like.

5 shows an example in which the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is formed adjacent to the spray nozzle 22 on the vertical body 23, which is a disinfectant solution by the spray nozzle 22 as described below. This is to ensure that the hot air is sprayed by the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 after the spraying.

As shown in FIG. 4, the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 includes a motor 81, an impeller 82 connected to the motor 81 by a rotation shaft 83 and interlocked with rotation, and the impeller 82 A space is formed inside to be accommodated, and a plurality of flow holes 841 are formed on the entire surface, and the surface 842 and the side surface 843 in the direction of the motor 81 are accommodated inside the body portion 2 and the motor 81 It is characterized in that the opposite side of the direction (844) includes a frame (84) exposed to the body (2).

The frame 84 is such that the opposite surface 844 in the direction of the motor 81 is exposed to the vertical body 23 to communicate with the outside, and the surface 842 and the side surface 843 in the direction of the motor 81 is internalized inside the vertical body 23 so that when the impeller 82 rotates, as shown in the drawing, the air inside the body part 2 passes through the surface 842 and the side surface 843 in the direction of the motor 81 It is sucked in and discharged through the opposite surface 844 in the direction of the motor 81.

The air inside the body part 2 becomes high temperature due to the operation of electric devices inside the body part 2, and when the internal electric devices are continuously exposed to such heat, it causes failure due to deterioration or the like.

In particular, heat is generated in the process of evaporating digestive juice by the operation of ultrasonic waves in the vaporizing unit 21, and this heat exposes other electrical devices such as the control unit 5 to deterioration.

Therefore, in the present invention, the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is configured so that the heat inside the body unit 2 is discharged to the outside, and the drying efficiency of the object is increased by this high-temperature air.

That is, by discharging high-temperature air inside the body part 2 to the outside, it is easy to dry after spraying the disinfectant solution to the target, and to control the deterioration of the electrical device by radiating heat from the inside of the body part 2.

To this end, as shown in FIG. 6 , the control unit 5 sprays the disinfectant solution through the spray nozzle 22 when an object is detected by the sensor unit 3, and then the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 is driven. It is desirable to do so. That is, the control unit 5 detects the sensing of the sensor unit 3 and operates the driving means so that the disinfectant solution is sprayed to the target through the spray nozzle 22, and then immediately by the heat dissipation and drying unit 8 It is to achieve heat dissipation and drying.

In addition to this, as shown in FIG. 7, an example in which the net body 11 in which the far-infrared ray emitting material 12 is embedded is fastened to the portion accommodated inside the body portion 2 in the frame 84 is further presented.

The net body 11 is a net structure forming a mesh, and the far-infrared ray emitting material 12 is filled therein, and the frame 84 has a shape that surrounds a portion accommodated inside the body portion 2. Although this net body 11 is not shown in the drawing, it may be configured as a unit and configured by assembling between units.

In the process of discharging the high-temperature air (a1) inside the body part (2) to the outside by the operating mechanism of the above-mentioned heat dissipation and drying unit (8), it passes through the net body (11), and the inside of the net body (11) The far-infrared ray emitter 12 emits far-infrared rays by high-temperature air, and the radiated far-infrared rays are radiated to the target along with the air (a2) discharged to the outside, so that antibacterial action is achieved in addition to drying.

When the far-infrared emitting material 12 is exposed to heat, the far-infrared radiation efficiency increases. As mentioned above, the air inside the body part 2 is hot air by the operation of the electric device, and the far-infrared emitting material 12 The far-infrared ray radiation efficiency becomes high as it is exposed to such high-temperature air.

The far-infrared ray emitting material 12 is not limited in its type, and as an example, illite may be applied. Illite belongs to clay minerals and is commonly referred to as sericite, and is an aluminum-rich heterogeneous material or It is produced among sedimentary rocks with a tuff structure and is produced as an altered mineral of hydrothermal ore parent rock. It is known.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, a moisture absorbent 13 is further included in the net body 11. The reason why the moisture absorbent 13 is further included is that the outside air a3 flows into the body portion 2. This is to control the failure of electric devices due to moisture by removing moisture from the outside air (a3) when it is introduced. That is, when outside air (a3) is introduced, moisture in the outside air is removed by the moisture absorbent 13 so that the air (a4) from which the moisture is removed is introduced into the housing (2).

Moisture absorbed by the moisture absorbent 13 is removed in the process of discharging the air inside the housing 2 to the outside or is removed by the high-temperature air inside the housing 2, thereby facilitating maintenance and management.

In the case of the moisture absorbent 13, since various known materials exist, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, although the present invention has been described with limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, of course, from the above description by a person having ordinary technical knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs.
