[0001] CONNECTING TYPE STERILIZATION DEVICE [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a connection type sterilizing apparatus capable of quickly and easily installing the sterilizing apparatus on a pipe having a simple structure and a simple fluid flow, The present invention relates to a connection type sterilizing apparatus capable of improving the sterilizing efficiency.

In general, sterilization of industrial, food, and household water is performed primarily by physical methods and chemical methods.

Physical methods include dry heat sterilization, high pressure steam sterilization, and intermittent sterilization. These physical methods are sterilization of harmful microorganisms by performing a long time treatment process at a high temperature or a high pressure. In order to make a state of high temperature or high pressure There is a disadvantage that a long processing time is required and the structure of equipment for forming a state of high temperature or high pressure is complicated and a large cost is required for manufacturing.

In addition, the chemical method has a disadvantage of causing harmful effects on the human body and causing environmental pollution because toxic substances are used in a manner of removing bacteria by using a sterilizing agent and a sterilizing gas.

In order to overcome such disadvantages, there has recently been proposed an ultraviolet sterilization apparatus as disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0368802.

The ultraviolet sterilization apparatus includes a support plate connecting rod 3 and an upper support plate 1 having a waterproof cap 7 fitted to both ends of a quartz tube 3 having an ultraviolet lamp 4 embedded therein and a lower support plate 5, A wiring plug gap 15 is formed from the outer end of the upper support plate 1 to the fitting hole of the center waterproof cap 7 so that the power cable 14 is connected to the center of the upper waterproof cap 7 The center of the lower support plate 5 is formed to have a ramp fixing spring 6 therein and a groove is formed in the outer periphery of the lamp fixing spring 6 so as to have an o- The air supply hose 8 is installed in the hose connection nibble 11 embedded in the end of the o-type air diffuser 9 after the 'o' type air diffuser 9 is fixed to the band 10.

The above conventional ultraviolet sterilizing apparatus is advantageous in that it is relatively hygienic and does not adversely affect the human body because it is sterilized by using ultraviolet rays without using a separate chemical substance, but it has various limitations as follows.

The conventional ultraviolet sterilization apparatus has a disadvantage that it is inconvenient to install, handle, and use because it requires a disinfection tank for disposing the ultraviolet lamp 4 because the UV lamp 4 is immersed in water to sterilize it.

The conventional ultraviolet sterilizing apparatus easily performs the sterilizing action of the drinking water, but since the sterilizing water is sterilized in the sterilizing water tank, the sterilizing treatment amount is small and the sterilizing action of the flowing water can not be performed smoothly.

In addition, the conventional ultraviolet sterilizing apparatus has a disadvantage in that the sterilizing action is smoothly performed at the site where the direct irradiation of light is performed in proximity to the ultraviolet lamp 4, but the contact with the light is insufficient and sterilization is not performed.

In addition, the conventional ultraviolet sterilizing apparatus is disadvantageous in that it has a large number of components and is complicated, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost and a large number of failures.
