Abstract
A portable water bottle includes a water bottle body having water stored therein; and a sterilizing module for irradiating the inside of the water bottle body with sterilizing ultraviolet rays. The sterilizing module further includes a housing having an ultraviolet outlet through which the sterilizing ultraviolet rays pass; a light source module for emitting the sterilizing ultraviolet rays; and a power storage member for supplying power to the light source module.
Claims15
A sterilization device, comprising:
- a body having a space inside of the body;
- a light module configured to emit a sterilization light into the body;
- a body coupler configured to connect the light module to the body;
- a sensor communicatively coupled to the light module and operable to sense at least one of a user gesture, an occurrence of a predetermined motion of the body or the light module, or a combination of the user gesture and the occurrence of the predetermined motion of the body or the light module,
- wherein the light module is further configured to start and stop emitting of the sterilization light based on a sensing result of the sensor, and comprises:
- a first substrate;
- a light emitting layer disposed on the first substrate and configured to emit the sterilization light, the light emitting layer including a second substrate on which a first conductivity type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity type semiconductor layer are disposed;
- an outlet having a path through which the sterilization light emitted from the light emitting layer is discharged outside the light module;
- and
- a window member disposed on the first substrate and configured to protect the light emitting layer from an exterior of the light module,
- wherein the second substrate includes an inclined region and configured to increase an extraction of the sterilization light generated in the active layer, and
- wherein the light module includes a reflector disposed on the first substrate and configured to reflect the sterilization light emitted from the light emitting layer.
