The present invention relates to a sterilization device, and more particularly to a sterilization device for sanitary equipment.
Chinese Patent No. CN108374461B, titled “Induction flushing device for sanitary ware”, as FIG. 1 of the patent shows, structurally includes a toilet seat, a toilet lid, a flushing device, and a barrel body.
However, the above patent does not provide disinfection and sterilization functions. Sanitary equipment such as stool, bathtub and sink commonly used in family life stay wet for long periods of time during use, which is very easy to breed bacteria, molds, viruses and other pathogens, and influences human health. In this regard, it is very necessary to disinfect and sterilize sanitary products, so the conventional technology still has room for improvement.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sterilization device for sanitary equipment, applicable to a toilet, the sterilization device including: a controller; a disinfectant sprayer, provided with a storage container and sprayer, the disinfectant sprayer in electric connection with the controller; and a disinfection lamp, in electric connection with the controller,
The present invention controls the disinfectant sprayer or disinfection lamp through the controller to disinfect the sanitary equipment of the toilet, for example, to disinfect stool, bathtub or sink by spraying alcohol or emitting ultraviolet light. Furthermore, the controller may be in connection with the timer; when a predetermined time set by the timer has expired, the controller controls the opening or closing of the disinfectant sprayer, or the on and off of the disinfection lamp, thereby improving use safety and convenience.
Referring to
In the present invention, the toilet 1 is the collective name of a toilet, restroom and bath. The sanitary equipment 2 mainly refers to a stool 21 (marked in
The controller 31 may be a central processing unit (CPU), single-chip microcomputer or microcontroller (MCU).
The disinfectant sprayer 32 is provided with a storage container 321 and sprayer 322, where the disinfectant sprayer 32 and controller 31 are in electric connection with each other. Specifically, the inside of the storage container 321 of the disinfectant sprayer 32 is filled with disinfectant, which may be alcohol, but the present invention is not so limited, and it may be other disinfectant such as chlorine dioxide or sodium hypochlorite. The sprayer 322 is used to extract the disinfectant in the storage container 321 and spray the disinfectant.
The disinfection lamp 33 is in electric connection with the controller 31. Specifically, the disinfection lamp 33 may be a ultraviolet (UV) lamp. Furthermore, the ultraviolet lamp my be a short-wave ultraviolet (Ultraviolet-C, UVC) lamp according to the difference of the ultraviolet wavelength of the ultraviolet lamp, but the present invention is not so limited. The disinfection lamp 33 can emit ultraviolet light.
The sterilization device 3 may further include a fan 34 in electric connection with the controller 31.
Referring to
For example, when performing sterilization, disinfection and sterilization can be specified at the predetermined time (e.g., 12:00 in the middle of the night). Upon the disinfection and sterilization, the controller 31 controls the disinfectant sprayer 32 to open and spray the disinfectant to the sanitary equipment 2, or the disinfection lamp 33 to turn on and emit ultraviolet light to the sanitary equipment 2. Referring to
For another example, when performing sterilization, the controller 31, in a sterilization state, controls the disinfectant sprayer 32 to spray disinfectant to the sanitary equipment 2, and controls the disinfectant sprayer to close again after the timer 35 counts for a few seconds, or the controller 31 controls the disinfection lamp 33 to emit ultraviolet light on the sanitary equipment 2, and controls the controller 31 to turn off again after the timer 35 counts for a few seconds.
The controllers 31 can also control the fan 34 to supply air to the sanitary equipment 2, so as to dry the disinfectant or water vapor on the sanitary equipment 2, preventing excessive humidity.
To sum up, the present invention controls the disinfectant sprayer 32 or disinfection lamp 33 through the controller 31 to disinfect the sanitary equipment 2 of the toilet 2, for example, to disinfect stool, bathtub or sink by spraying alcohol or emitting ultraviolet light. Furthermore, the controller 31 may be in connection with the timer 35; when a predetermined time set by the timer 35 has expired, the controller 31 controls the opening or closing of the disinfectant sprayer 32, or the on and off of the disinfection lamp 33, thereby improving use safety and convenience.
