Abstract
Disclosed are a sterilization apparatus for sterilizing an object using plasma and ultraviolet light and a sterilization system for an airport including the same. The sterilization apparatus includes a first sterilizer configured to radiate plasma rays toward a sterilization space, a second sterilizer configured to radiate ultraviolet light toward the sterilization space, a sensing unit configured to sense whether an object is placed in the sterilization space, and a controller configured to control an operation of the second sterilizer based on information sensed by the sensing unit.
Claims7
A sterilization apparatus, comprising:
- a housing forming a sterilization space;
- a first sterilizer configured to radiate plasma rays toward the sterilization space;
- a second sterilizer configured to radiate ultraviolet light toward the sterilization space;
- a sensing unit configured to sense whether an object is placed in the sterilization space;
- and
- a controller configured to control an operation of the second sterilizer based on information sensed by the sensing unit;
- wherein the controller is configured to,
- while the plasma ray is radiated toward the sterilization space,
- operate the second sterilizer to radiate the ultraviolet light toward the object in response to sensing that the object is brought into the sterilization space.
A sterilization apparatus, comprising:
- a housing forming a sterilization space;
- a first sterilizer configured to radiate plasma rays toward the sterilization space;
- a second sterilizer configured to radiate ultraviolet light toward the sterilization space;
- a sensing unit configured to sense whether an object is placed in the sterilization space;
- and
- a controller configured to control an operation of the second sterilizer based on information sensed by the sensing unit,
- wherein the second sterilizer comprises:
- a light emitting member disposed on a side of the sterilization space to emit the ultraviolet light;
- and
- a support member provided in the housing to cover the light emitting member, the support member including at least one perforation penetrating through a surface thereof to allow the ultraviolet light to pass therethrough, and
- wherein the support member includes a polycarbonate material to ensure the heat resistance to the ultraviolet light.
