STERILIZATION APPARATUS AND HOME APPLIANCE COMPRISING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18545121 titled 'STERILIZATION APPARATUS AND HOME APPLIANCE COMPRISING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The sterilizing apparatus described in the abstract is a device that emits ultraviolet rays through electric discharge to sterilize objects. The apparatus includes a lamp body with external electrodes and a cover to scatter the emitted light.
- Lamp body containing gas emitting ultraviolet rays
- External electrodes on outer surface of lamp body
- Cover with inner and outer walls to scatter emitted light
- Light-emitting region on lamp body's outer surface
- Cover partially covers light-emitting region to scatter light
Potential Applications
This technology can be used in various settings where sterilization is necessary, such as hospitals, laboratories, and food processing facilities.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in effectively sterilizing objects and surfaces without the use of chemicals, reducing the risk of contamination and spread of pathogens.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include efficient sterilization, eco-friendliness (no chemicals), and ease of use.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include manufacturing and selling sterilizing devices for both industrial and household use.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing UV sterilization devices used in medical and laboratory settings.
What are the safety precautions needed when using this sterilizing apparatus?
Safety precautions when using this sterilizing apparatus may include wearing protective gear such as goggles and gloves, ensuring proper ventilation in the area, and keeping the device out of reach of children.
How long does the sterilization process take with this apparatus?
The sterilization process time with this apparatus may vary depending on the size of the object or surface being sterilized, but typically ranges from a few minutes to an hour.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sterilizing apparatus and a home appliance comprising the same are provided. The sterilizing apparatus may include: a lamp body containing a gas configured to emit ultraviolet rays through electric discharge and having a cylindrical shape, a plurality of external electrodes disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the lamp body and extending in a longitudinal direction of the lamp body, and a cover including an inner wall and an outer wall, and provided in a radial direction of the lamp body to allow the inner wall to face the outer circumferential surface of the lamp body and outer surfaces of the plurality of external electrodes, wherein the lamp body includes a light-emitting region provided on the outer circumferential surface of the lamp body, the light-emitting region disposed between the plurality of external electrodes and configured to allow light emitted from the lamp body to be transmitted, wherein the cover is configured to cover at least a portion of the light-emitting region to scatter the light emitted from the lamp body.
