Relates to an ultraviolet disinfectant for footwear capable of sterilization and aroma treatment.

As human life improves, interest in health is increasing, especially in recent years.

The foot is easy to multiply as germs are kept at a constant temperature in the shoe, and thus the most bacteria in the human body, the amount of which is about 700 to 1000 times that of the hand.

Once the germs are removed, it is very important to sterilize the inside of the shoe and socks because it is more likely to be reinfected by contaminated shoes.

Therefore, many people have developed a method of improving the ventilation of shoes to suppress the growth of bacteria in the shoes. However, in this case, it is impossible to fundamentally eradicate bacteria by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, and thus, a method of sterilizing and disinfecting bacteria is required.

Generally, disinfection methods are divided into physical disinfection and chemical disinfection methods. Chemical disinfection is a method of disinfection using chemicals such as cresol water, formaldehyde, and alcohol, and physical disinfection methods include methods using heat such as dry heat sterilization and wet heat sterilization. There are non-thermal treatment methods such as ultraviolet disinfection and ultrasonic sterilization.

Conventionally, heat sterilization method (dry heat sterilization method, wet heat sterilization method) using heat which has been easily used has become mainstream, but ultraviolet sterilization lamp which emits wavelength of 2,500∼2,800 강한 with the strongest sterilizing power as ultraviolet sterilizing power is known, It is widely used for group meal facilities, indoor air disinfection in food factories, and countertop sterilization.

Conventional ultraviolet sterilizers have been used for sterilization / disinfection of tableware mainly in restaurants and the like, as shown in FIG.

In addition, in the case of shoes, a special disinfection method has not been provided. Sunlight disinfection by sunlight and some chemical methods have been attempted. However, in the case of sun disinfection, there are weather limitations, and chemical disinfection is an economic problem. Due to the inconvenience in use and the situation is insignificant. Therefore, there is a problem in that sterilization of bacteria existing in shoes is not easy.

In particular, in the case of a group with a lot of outdoor activities in the group life, such as the military, public hygiene is emphasized, it is required to provide a way to disinfect shoes in a simpler way.

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-described contents, and an object thereof is to provide an ultraviolet sterilizer for shoes that can easily and efficiently disinfect bacteria in a shoe.
