- the irradiation area of the corresponding sterilizing device 10 is adjusted, and the restriction information of the irradiation area is sent to each sterilizing device 10 to eliminate the overlap of the irradiation areas. Can be done.
- the lack of the irradiation area can be used as information when installing the sterilizer 10.
- the position of the sterilizer 10 can be easily determined by showing the missing area of the irradiation area on a monitor or the like (a wireless PDA, a smartphone, or the like in addition to a display connected to the server by a cable). It is possible. Further, if visible light is generated as a light source by a composite wavelength generator, it is possible to visually confirm the irradiation state.
- the server 56 can obtain all the images in the field of view of the photodetector, a wide field of view can be obtained by synthesizing the images obtained from all the sterilizers 10, so that they can be monitored. It is possible to monitor the status by displaying it in (not shown). The data displayed on the monitor can also be used for recording or monitoring objects, people, etc. using AI. Further, by performing the image recognition process on the server 56, even if the recognition function in each sterilizer cannot recognize the image due to chipping or movement, it is possible to recognize the image based on a wide field of view. It is possible to improve the recognition accuracy.
- the obtained image is processed by the server 56 for a plurality of sterilizers 10 installed along the movement path, and the irradiation is excluded.
- the server 56 By recognizing the irradiation target and the irradiation target area together with the area, the entire article can be sterilized with the optimum intensity by controlling the sterilization irradiation time or the irradiation output for each irradiation exclusion area or each irradiation target area.
- the server can control not only the irradiation area and irradiation time of all sterilizers but also the light source such as the composite wavelength generator, it is appropriate for improving the efficiency of lighting and for the recognized object. Irradiation and analysis with various wavelengths, imaging, recognition, tracking, etc. are also possible.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a virus or the like sterilizing device 60 according to the sixth embodiment.
- the beam emitted from the O point of the sterilizer 10 is reflected by the P point (reflection point) of the reflector 58 at an arbitrary position, and is an irradiation exclusion target.
- one or more arbitrary number of light receiving devices 67-1, 67-2, ... Are added to the sterilizing devices of the second to fourth embodiments.
- the light receiving device 67 can also serve as the light receiving devices 37 and 47 used in the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment.
- the thick solid line OPQ represents a beam irradiated from the point O of the sterilizer 10 and reflected at the point P of the reflector 58 to irradiate the point Q of the irradiation exclusion target 62.
- the alternate long and short dash line QR represents a beam in which this beam is reflected at the Q point and reaches the R point of the light receiving element 67-1.
- the irradiation beam is P of the reflector. It is possible to detect that the light is reflected at a point and is incident on the Q point to be excluded from irradiation.
- the sterilizer 10 since the positions (X, Y) of the point P reflecting the beam are known, it is possible to record that there is a reflector at the point P. Therefore, in the next and subsequent scans, the brightness of the beam with respect to the P point can be reduced or turned off in the output intensity.
- the irradiation detection from the P point to the Q point to be excluded from irradiation not only the direct reflection from the P point but also the ultraviolet light reaching the Q point due to the diffused reflection from the P point via other points. , It can be detected by setting the threshold value appropriately.
- the beam is scanned with an intensity that is safe even if the irradiation exclusion target 62 is directly irradiated, and the position information of the point P of the reflector 58 is recorded.
- the brightness of the beam with respect to the P point of the recorded reflector 58 is lowered or turned off. In other areas, the brightness of the beam is arbitrarily increased (for example, increased from several times to several tens of times) for irradiation. (3) Repeat (1) and (2).
- the irradiation exclusion target is irradiated with a safe intensity or zero, and the area other than the irradiation exclusion area is covered. It is possible to irradiate with a beam with high brightness. This makes it possible to significantly shorten the sterilization time in the sterilization plane A and the sterilization space S.
- Visible light or infrared light may be used instead of ultraviolet light for the beam of (1). If you don't use UV light, you don't have to worry about UV exposure. Further, in the case of visible light, not only the place exposed to ultraviolet rays (not visible) can be visually observed by visible light, but also a general visible light receiving element can be used as the light receiving element instead of the ultraviolet light receiving element. can.
- the sterilization plane A (abcd) is formed on the two-dimensional light receiving element 67.
- the image data of the sterilization plane A can be acquired.
- the irradiation region and the irradiation exclusion region can be distinguished.
- the sterilization plane A irradiated by the sterilizer 10 By comparing the sterilization plane A irradiated by the sterilizer 10 with the obtained irradiation region, it is possible to calculate the cumulative irradiation amount, detect an irradiation abnormality, and detect a failure.
- the average irradiation light amount may be suppressed by changing the irradiation time and frequency.
- the threshold value setting process is performed in real time or periodically for the signal obtained by the light receiving element 67. You may go to the target. Techniques such as signal processing, image processing, and AI can be used for the threshold value setting processing.
- the irradiation intensity is not harmful to the irradiated object based on the recognition result of the object.
- sterilization equipment is installed so that even the transported items moved by belt conveyors, etc., will not be shaded by ultraviolet irradiation, and the irradiation time will be controlled to ensure safety. In addition, it is possible to continuously sterilize bacteria and viruses adhering to the transported material.

La solution selon l'invention porte sur un système de projection de lumière ultraviolette dans lequel une lumière ultraviolette est formée en tant que faisceau et projetée par balayage, ou un système de projection de lumière ultraviolette dans lequel une image sur un dispositif de génération de rayons ultraviolets est projetée par l'intermédiaire d'une lentille en tant qu'irradiation de surface, et la réalisation d'un traitement de stérilisation par réglage à zéro ou réduction de la quantité de lumière selon une région d'exclusion d'irradiation prédéterminée, ou une région d'exclusion d'irradiation obtenue par reconnaissance d'image ou similaire.
