In addition, this machine and/or Since only periodic cleaning can be done through the equipment, a complete sterilization cannot be achieved.

As you can see, it gives fast results for the cars we use every day, effective, easy to use, leaving no residue and providing ideal hygiene. There is no sterilization system.

Definition of Invention UV rays used for sterilization used in many sectors today, vehicle environment (seat, headrest, surface, floor, door) in all kinds of cars. floors, cockpit, glove box, etc.) are designed for use in the sterilization process. This invention regarding the Uvc-C Led Automatic Sterilization System is based on the above-described it completely overcomes the disadvantages and its peculiarity is that it is suitable for all types of cars. UV-C Led emitting UV rays thanks to different designs suitable for mounting providing ideal sterilization with lamps, while doing this, it is suitable for all vehicle models. adaptable, fast, effective, easy to use, non-residue and low cost is that.

The short wavelength and high energy of UV (ultraviolet - ultraviolet) radiation It is known that it can kill many kinds of microorganisms due to its UV The effect of the rays is directly proportional to the dose (exposure). exposure time and name As the severity increases, the sterilization effect increases. UV rays sterilization process for many different sectors (medical, laboratory, food production, hotels, hospitals, gyms etc.)

Sterilization and Disinfection are different concepts. Disinfection, also harmful While it is not usually possible to kill all microorganisms, killing all microorganisms, including virus spores, in sterilization possible.

However, due to the structure of the Covid-19 virus, which affects the whole world today, The research done on the subject and the statements shared with the society show that, microorganism with variable protein structure and capable of mutating and the type of UV light to be used during sterilization against virus spores is large. is important. Therefore, the effect and wave size of each UV light is the same. Since it is not, its success in providing sterilization is not the same.

The UV-C source of the UV light to be used within the scope of the invention subject to our application This is the only reason why LED was chosen. All research and tests done has shown that using today's technology for the most effective sterilization The type of UV light source required is UV-C LEDs.

UV-C LED Rays are divided into 3 different spectral areas. These; UV-A with wavelengths between 315-400 nanometers UV-B with a wavelength between 280-315 nanometers UV-C with wavelengths between 100-280 nanometers sorted as.

Extremely effective in killing bacteria, fungi and viruses, 100nm to 280nm The ultraviolet rays in the wavelength range are called UV-C (Ultraviolet C). UV- C is a subtype of ultraviolet light. Usually for disinfection and sterilization is used.

When organisms are exposed to UV-C light, DNA, RNA and Proteins absorbed by UVC heat, by disrupting the structure of DNA and RNA, prevents it from multiplying. Cells by absorption of UVC rays by proteins its walls break down and the microorganism dies.

Any organism that causes disease is called a pathogen. Surfaces The destruction of pathogens on the surface is also called Sterilization.

Killing pathogens for sterilization and reproduction of the organism Different amounts of energy are needed to prevent it.

The common view is to prevent the spread of disease instead of killing pathogens. It is enough to prevent the reproduction of the organism. because Cells that do not proliferate cannot become infected. chemical with the help of UV-C light It is possible to kill almost all pathogens without using UV-C light Lamps that produce it are called germicidal lamps. low, similar to fluorescent lamps pressure lamps, high-pressure lamps similar to high-intensity discharge lamps UV-C LEDs germicidal lamp developed with lamps and LED technology are examples.

UV-C is invisible to the naked eye. The purple-blue light from the bulb It is the visual effect it creates while producing and has no effect. UV-C Rays harm living things, so the applications to be made are unmanned. Special devices to prevent direct heat in environments or living things must be carried out through People should not be exposed to UV-C heat.

The human body can tolerate a certain amount of UV-C light it can receive. But this rate may differ for each person and skin structure. UV-C tolerated In case of exposure above the amount, skin and eye itching, burning, may cause temporary effects such as redness, irritation, eye discharge, skin rash.

Application of the Invention All cars except for commercial use 5-8 hours a day it is out of use. Most of the vehicles produced today are modern technological Since there are tools, these tools update their systems when not in use. and when the user starts the tool the next day against any problems that may occur, provides visual information. Recent events all over the world system update of the vehicles in this 5-8 hour period due to Except for all kinds of invisible surfaces that can be found on all surfaces in the vehicle during the day. sterilization with new solutions against microorganisms is vital. It has become an inevitable need.

With scientific tests as a definitive solution against all kinds of microorganisms. Use of automobiles using the proven Ultraviolet light source self-cleansing when they are outside (preferably at night) and sterilization is the main subject of our application. In this way, throughout the day All surfaces in the vehicle, which are attacked by different microorganisms, are at night. completely, thanks to the system that is automatically activated throughout the it will be cleaned, it will be safe when the driver gets in his car every morning. It will provide you with a clean and spacious environment.
