Abstract
The present invention provides a photocatalyst sterilizer (200) which draws thereinto water, contained in a water tank (120) and polluted by bacilli and various organic substances, regardless of a water level in the water tank (120) and sterilizes the polluted water using violet rays and through a photocatalyst reaction, thus enhancing a sterilizing ability thereof, and which is easily installed and efficiently used in various appliances, which are necessary to execute sterilizing processes, for example, hot and cold water generators, hot and cold water purifiers, tap water purifiers to be directly coupled to faucet pipes, edible water purifiers, and aquariums.
Claims18
A photocatalyst sterilizer, comprising:
- an upper cap having a cylindrical shape, comprising an upper cylindrical cap part, and a lower cylindrical cap part having a diameter smaller than that of the upper cylindrical cap part and integrally provided under a lower end of the upper cylindrical cap part;
- a quartz tube fastened at an upper end thereof in the upper cap, with an UV (ultraviolet) lamp provided in the quartz tube;
- an inner pipe fastened at an upper end thereof in the upper cap and provided around an outer surface of the quartz tube to be spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval, so as to discharge water, fed from the upper end thereof, through a lower end thereof to an outside of the inner pipe;
- a photocatalyst-coated carrier provided between the quartz tube and the inner pipe;
- and
