Mobile disinfector using UV LED
A mobile disinfector using UV LEDs can include: a case forming an exterior structure of the disinfector; a cover including two parts coupled to respective sides of the case and including openings formed on the cover; and LED units exposed to outside through the openings formed on the cover. Since the cover is coupled to the case such that an angle between the cover and the case is adjusted, an irradiation angle of light emitted to the outside from the LED units is controlled.
1. A mobile disinfector using ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs), comprising:
a case forming an exterior structure of the disinfector and having a first group of openings formed on the case, the case having a first width;
a cover including two parts coupled to respective sides of the case and having a second group of openings formed on the cover, each of the two parts having a second width that is smaller than a half of the first width; and
LED units disposed on the two parts of the cover exposed to outside through the second group of openings of the cover and LED units disposed on the case exposed to the outside through the first group of openings of the case,
wherein the cover is coupled to respective sides of the case to provide an adjustable angle between the cover, and
when the angle is adjusted so that the cover is disposed on a surface of the case, the LED units disposed on the case are not covered by the two parts and the LED units disposed on the case and the LED units on the two parts of the cover provide UV light in a same direction away from the case.
2. The mobile disinfector of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the LED units disposed on the cover or the case provide UV light at a wavelength of 100 nm to 280 nm.
3. The mobile disinfector of claim 1 , wherein the two parts of the cover have a door-shaped structure hinged to the respective sidewalls of the case to open and close with respect to a front surface of the case.
4. The mobile disinfector of claim 1 , wherein the two parts of the cover comprises:
a left cover coupled to an edge of a left sidewall of the case to extend upward from the edge of the left sidewall when opened; and
a right cover coupled to an edge of a right sidewall of the case to extend upward from the edge of the right sidewall when opened.
5. The mobile disinfector of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the left cover or the right cover is coupled to the respective edges of the left or right sidewalls to move up and down.
6. The mobile disinfector of claim 4 , wherein the left cover and the right cover are fixed to a front surface of the case such that the LED units disposed on the cover and exposed through the first and second group of openings are fixed in a same horizontal direction.
7. The mobile disinfector of claim 1 , wherein the LED units disposed on the case are disposed on a front surface of the case.
8. The mobile disinfector of claim 7 , wherein the same direction is from the first surface to be further away from the second surface.
