Description

UV sterilization device capable of simultaneously sterilizing gargling cups and toothbrushes {UV STERILIZATION DEVICE THAT CAN STERILIZE TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTH CLEANING CUP}

The present invention relates to a UV sterilization device capable of simultaneously sterilizing a gargling cup and a toothbrush, and more particularly, a UV sterilization capable of simultaneously sterilizing a gargling cup and a toothbrush, which is convenient to carry and sterilizes the gargling cup and the toothbrush at the same time It's about the device.

It is of utmost importance to maintain cleanliness in places where you live in groups, such as schools, dormitories, government offices, or military bases.

In particular, it is in the mouth that bacteria reproduce the most in the human body, and in order to prevent the growth of these bacteria, you should brush your teeth at least once a day.

The problem is how to store the toothbrush after brushing your teeth, and it is common to dry the toothbrush you personally brushed and store it in a drawer.

A more improved method is to use a toothbrush sterilizer prepared personally or purchased jointly.

A toothbrush sterilizer is a device for storing and sterilizing a toothbrush after brushing teeth. This toothbrush sterilizer sterilizes the bristles by irradiating the bristles with ultraviolet light from the UV lamp provided inside the main body to keep the toothbrush in a clean state. will do

These toothbrush sterilizers have been developed in various forms, but most have a ring for hanging the toothbrush on the inner wall of the main body, and an ultraviolet lamp on the upper portion of the ring, and the ultraviolet lamp operates by opening or closing the front door.

And as another type, the toothbrush has been kept in a clean state by applying hot air to the inside of the main body or by drying the inside to prevent further bacterial propagation.

However, since the size of this toothbrush sterilizer is large, the power required to drive it is also high, so it had to be installed by connecting it to an outlet by wire. Even if the toothbrush is sterilized, the gargling cup is left as it is and bacteria propagate, and any one member When a cold or mouth disease occurs, bacteria spread to other members through the gargling cup used by that member, and there has always been a risk that the same disease may occur to everyone.

In addition, since a separate sterilizer had to be provided to sterilize the gargling cup, it was a burden in terms of cost, and it is recommended to carry a toothbrush sterilizer and gargling cup sterilizer when moving to another place for travel or business purposes. There was a problem in that it was difficult and exposed to unsanitary environments.

Therefore, a method for solving these problems is required.

Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0393519
