【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、加熱水蒸気を生成し、調理器具や壁面等に付着した細菌、真菌等の微生物や害虫およびその卵を死滅させる殺菌装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の殺菌手段は、一般的にアルコール、次亜塩酸ナトリウムのような化学薬品、紫外線照射、オゾンでの燻蒸等を利用して、行われていることが一般的であった。また、各調理器具やタオルの殺菌、消毒には乾熱による高温を用いたものや高圧蒸気を用いたものもあった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような従来の殺菌手段では、被処理物の形状、大きさ、素材、または殺菌手段の使用環境、使用条件により、殺菌手段を選定するという課題があり、適応自在の殺菌方法が要望されている。
【0004】
また、スチームを用いた殺菌方法で被処理物を殺菌する方法も一般的に知られているが、被処理物や殺菌する微生物の種類によりスチームを与える時間が異なり、長時間スチームを与えることもあり、使用者によって殺菌効果が異なるという課題があり、使用者に係らず被処理物を殺菌できる方法が要望されている。
【0005】
また、水蒸気発生手段として燃焼ガスを直接導入すると、燃焼温度が高温となり、高い耐熱の処理が必要となり、装置形状が複雑で大きくなるという課題があり、燃焼温度を低下させ、装置の形状をさらに単純化するものが要望されている。
【0006】
また、作業者が被処理物に接触できない場合や手の入らない穴など被処理物が複雑な形状なものなどは、殺菌することができないという課題があり、被処理物に近づけない時や複雑な形状の被処理物も殺菌できる方法が要望されている。
【0007】
また、被処理物が殺菌を必要としない物と隣接、接触している場合、殺菌が必要ないものに殺菌剤を噴霧してしまうという課題があり、被処理物のみを効率よく殺菌することが要望されている。
【0008】
また、被処理物に対し、過剰なエネルギーを与えると素材によっては変形等がおこることがあるという課題があり、殺菌に使用するエネルギーを最低限にすることが要望されている。
【0009】
本発明は、このような従来の課題を解決するものであり、化学薬品を使用しない安全な方法で、さらに、室内にある被処理物を適用自在に殺菌することができ、また、使用者に係らず被処理物を殺菌でき、また、燃焼温度を低下させ、装置の形状をさらに単純化することができ、また、被処理物に近づけない時や複雑な形状の被処理物も殺菌できる方法で、また、被処理物のみを効率よく殺菌し、また、殺菌に使用するエネルギーを最低限にした殺菌装置を提供することを目的としている。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の殺菌装置は上記目的を達成するために、燃焼触媒により燃焼ガスを燃焼し水蒸気生成管内の水を加熱し水蒸気を生成させる加熱手段と前記加熱手段に水を供給する水供給手段と前記燃焼触媒に燃焼ガスを送る手段を備え、前記水蒸気生成管で生成された水蒸気と前記燃焼触媒で排気された空気とを混合する排気混合経路とその混合後の水蒸気を噴射する噴霧口を備えた構造としたものである。
【0011】
本発明によれば、水蒸気が燃焼触媒で排気された空気と混合されることにより再加熱され被処理物に噴射され、また、燃焼触媒を用いることで加熱温度を低下させ安全に装置を使用でき、被処理物を殺菌することができる殺菌装置が得られる。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、燃焼触媒により燃焼ガスを燃焼し水蒸気生成管内の水を加熱し水蒸気を生成させる加熱手段と前記加熱手段に水を供給する水供給手段と前記燃焼触媒に燃焼ガスを送る手段を備え、前記水蒸気生成管で生成された水蒸気と前記燃焼触媒で排気された空気とを混合する排気混合経路とその混合後の水蒸気を噴射する噴霧口を備えたことで、水蒸気が燃焼触媒で排気された空気と混合されることにより再加熱され被処理物に噴射されるという作用を有し、また、燃焼触媒を用いることにより、排ガスに煙を伴わず、燃焼温度を低下させ、効率良く燃焼ガスのエネルギーを熱に換え、安全に加熱することができるため、装置の形状を単純化し、さらにコンパクトにすることができ、被処理物を殺菌することができるという作用を有する。
【0013】
【実施例】
(実施例1)
図1に示すように、殺菌装置1は、加熱水蒸気のもとになる水分を溜める樹脂製の給水タンク2と、殺菌装置1本体に伝わる無駄な熱量を給水タンク2の水分に加熱する円柱形のアルミダイガスト製の筒状の水蒸気生成管3と、加熱水蒸気を被処理物に吹き付ける円形の噴霧口4と、燃焼ガスを効率良く燃焼する燃焼触媒5と、燃焼触媒5に送る燃焼ガスを溜る燃ガスタンク6と、燃焼ガスタンク6に溜めることができ逆流しないガス流入口7と、燃焼触媒5内で燃焼ガスが燃焼できるようなエネルギーを与える着火スイッチ8と、殺菌装置1内部の樹脂熱劣化させないようにする安全制御回路9と、燃焼触媒5で燃焼した排ガスの熱と水蒸気生成管3で生成された水蒸気に伝える排気混合経路10と、手指の力で給水タンク2に空気を送り込むための圧水レバー11と、圧水レバー11の伸縮で空気を吸入する逆支弁穴12と、圧水レバー11の伸ばす時に空気を溜める圧力空気袋13と、圧水空気袋13の収縮時に給水タンク2に圧力空気を送る圧力空気風路14と、給水タンク2に外部の水を供給できる給水口15と、燃焼触媒5に加熱された水蒸気が流入しないようにした水蒸気逆流防止板16と、殺菌装置1外部に熱が伝わらないようにした断熱層17で構成されている。
【0014】
上記構成において、殺菌装置1は、着火スイッチ8を入れると、燃焼ガスタンク6の燃焼ガスが燃焼触媒5に流れ、触媒上400〜500℃で燃焼する。燃焼により、給水タンク2下部と水蒸気生成管3は加熱され、燃焼排ガスは、水蒸気逆流防止板16を通り、排気混合経路10を通り、噴霧口4より排出する。
【0015】
作業者は圧水レバー11に手をとおし、圧水レバー11を握る。握ることで逆支弁穴12から供給された空気が入った圧力空気袋13内空気は、圧力空気経路14を通り、給水タンク2に送られる。給水タンク2に送られた空気は、給水タンク2内の水を圧縮し、給水タンク2内の水を加熱された水蒸気生成管3に導入する。導入された水は水蒸気生成管3内で加熱され水蒸気となる。さらに水蒸気は、排気混合経路10で燃焼触媒で排気された空気と混合し、再加熱され噴霧口4から被処理物に噴射される。
【0016】
また、図2に噴霧口4の形状を示す。噴霧口4は、被処理物の微生物に直接、加熱水蒸気を噴射するため、噴霧口4の形状が円錐状になっている。噴霧口4の吹出部に格子状の整流格子板が設けてあり、吹出部を開閉できる構造となっている。また、加熱水蒸気噴射部分を狭めることができ、水蒸気噴射量を調整することができ、被処理物が殺菌装置1から離れた場所にあっても、加熱水蒸気を被処理物の表面に噴射することができる。さらに、噴霧口4の吹出部面積を狭めることで、被処理物の一部のみを殺菌することができ、また、図3に示すように噴霧口4の円錐形状を鋭くすることや、形状で螺旋状の板を付けることで被処理物が離れている場合でも被処理物に到達する加熱水蒸気温度が高くなり被処理物表面を殺菌することができる。
【0017】
また、一般的に被処理物に付着する細菌、カビの大きさは、0.6〜100μm以上と言われている。そして本殺菌装置1は、噴霧口4からは、加熱水蒸気の粒子径が、0.3μm以下のため、噴霧口4の大きさを最小で100μm以上にし被処理物の微生物表面積より大きな噴霧口4の形状し、殺菌する被処理物に付着する微生物表面積以上とした。
【0018】
上記構成で殺菌試験を行った結果を以下に示す。殺菌試験方法は、スタンプスプレード(栄研器材製)に大腸菌と黄色ブドウ状球菌10↑6〜7個/mlの添着液を10μl付着させものを殺菌装置1の噴霧口4に置き、温度を変化させ、5秒間運転し、乾熱時と湿熱時の残存菌数を測定した試験と、湿熱温度を一定に保ち、運転時間を変化させた試験をする。
【0019】
表1に温度を変化させた試験の結果と表2に運転時間を変化させた試験の結果を示す。

表1より、殺菌装置1を運転し、120℃から乾熱、湿熱でも菌数が減少し、140〜150℃以上の噴出温度で菌数が激減し、細菌を添着したスタンプスプレードを殺菌することができることが明らかである。
【0023】
表2より、殺菌装置1を5秒以上運転することで、菌数が激減し、細菌を添着したスタンプスプレードを殺菌することができることが明らかである。
【0024】
また、殺菌装置1は、作業者が握るため、殺菌装置1内部に断熱層17を設け、殺菌装置1の外枠に熱を伝達しない構造とする。また、被処理物としては、住宅内の壁、天井、壁紙、窓ガラス等の住宅建材や、まな板、食器等の調理器具や、寝具、衣類さらにショーケース内や容器内等に付着した微生物を殺菌することができる。
【0025】
また、上記殺菌装置1の構成は簡単なものであるため、大きさを小さくすることにより、ハンディタイプでしかも軽量に作製でき、携帯用として使用できる。また、被処理物の大きさや被処理物の移動をともなわずに簡単に殺菌ができる。
【0026】
なお、実施例では、給水手段を給水タンク2としたが、直接、水を投入するようにしてもよい。
【0027】
なお、実施例では、水分導入時にエネルギーの効率を上げるため、水蒸気生成管3と用いたが、直接排ガスに混入する手段を用いてもよい。
【0028】
なお、実施例では、圧力レバー11としたが、給水ポンプを直接伸縮し水蒸気生成管3の水を導入する手段であればその作用効果に差異を生じない。
【0029】
なお、実施例では、圧力空気により給水タンク2に圧力を送り、水を水蒸気生成管3に導入したが、空気以外の液体でも、また給水タンク2内の水を水蒸気生成管3に導入する手段であれば、その作用効果に差異を生じない。
【0030】
なお、実施例では、圧力レバー11と圧力空気袋13と圧力空気風路14で水に圧力を加えて給水タンク2の水を水蒸気生成管3に導入したが、強制的に給水タンク2の水を送る手段として超音波やポンプを使用してもよい。
【0031】
なお、排気混合経路10に燃焼触媒からの排気を送ったが、一部の排気空気を別の 経路を用い排気してもよい。
【0032】
なお、実施例では、取っ手等の構成を記載したが、取っ手を用いない構成にしてもその作用効果に差異を生じない。
【0033】
なお、噴霧口4の吹出部に均一に加熱水蒸気を噴出すために整流格子板を設けたが、さらに、円錐を吹出部の面積を狭めた噴霧口4、また、格子状の板ではなく、渦巻き状のを添えた吹出口ても、被処理物の表面到達加熱水蒸気の温度が、120度以上から150度以下で有れば、殺菌することができる。
【0034】
(実施例2)
図4に示すように、殺菌装置1は、加熱水蒸気のもとになる水分を溜める給水タンク2と、給水タンク2の水分を加熱する円柱形の水蒸気生成管3と、加熱水蒸気を被処理物に吹き付ける噴霧口4と、水蒸気生成管3と燃焼ガスを効率良く燃焼する燃焼触媒5と、燃焼触媒5に送る燃焼ガスを溜る燃焼ガスタンク6と、燃焼ガスタンク6に溜めることができるような逆流しないガス流入口7と、燃焼触媒5内で燃焼ガスが燃焼できるようなエネルギーを与える着火スイッチ8と、水蒸気生成管3内の温度が殺菌装置1の表面樹脂温度を高めないようにする安全制御回路9と、燃焼触媒5で燃焼した排ガスと水蒸気生成管3で水蒸気を混合する排気混合経路10と、給水タンク2の水を強制的に伸縮運動で一定量送りこむ圧水装置18と、圧水装置18に運転信号を与える圧水スイッチ19と給水タンク2に外部の水を供給できる給水口15と、燃焼触媒5に加熱された水蒸気が流入しないようにした水蒸気逆流防止板16と、殺菌装置1外部に熱が伝わらないようにした断熱層17で構成されている。また、第一実施例と同一機能を有する部材には、同一番号を付けている。
【0035】
上記構成において、殺菌装置1は、水と燃焼ガスが給水タンク2と燃焼ガスタンク6に給水口15とガス流入口7からそれぞれ供給される。着火スイッチ8を入れ、燃焼ガスタンク6より燃焼ガスが燃焼触媒5に流れ、燃焼される。
【0036】
燃焼により、給水タンク2下部と水蒸気生成管3は加熱され、燃焼ガスは、水蒸気逆流防止板16を通り、排気混合経路10を通り、噴霧口4より噴射する。
【0037】
作業者は殺菌装置1を握り、圧水スイッチ19を切り替え、圧水装置18を運転させる。圧水装置18より一定量の給水タンク2の水が直接加熱された水蒸気生成管3に送り込まれる。送りこまれた水は水蒸気生成管3内で水蒸気となり加熱される。さらに加熱された空気は、排気混合経路10で燃焼触媒で排気された空気と混合し再加熱され噴霧口4から被処理物に噴射される。
【0038】
さらに、圧水装置18より一定量の水分が供給されるため、被処理物に噴射される量を一定量とし、安定して加熱水蒸気を作製できるため、作業者の作業時間がさらに短縮され、効率よく被処理物表面を殺菌することができる。

In the above configuration, when the sterilizer 1 is turned on, the combustion gas in the combustion gas tank 6 flows into the combustion catalyst 5 and burns at 400 to 500 ° C. on the catalyst. By combustion, the lower part of the water supply tank 2 and the steam generation pipe 3 are heated, and the combustion exhaust gas passes through the steam backflow prevention plate 16, passes through the exhaust mixing path 10, and is discharged from the spray port 4.
[0015]
The operator puts his / her hand on the pressure water lever 11 and holds the pressure water lever 11. The air in the pressure air bag 13 containing the air supplied from the reverse valve hole 12 by gripping is sent to the water supply tank 2 through the pressure air path 14. The air sent to the feed water tank 2 compresses the water in the feed water tank 2 and introduces the water in the feed water tank 2 into the heated steam generation pipe 3.

In general, the size of bacteria and molds adhering to the object to be treated is said to be 0.6 to 100 μm or more. In the sterilization apparatus 1, since the particle diameter of the heated water vapor is 0.3 μm or less from the spray port 4, the spray port 4 has a minimum size of 100 μm or more and is larger than the microbial surface area of the object to be treated. More than the surface area of microorganisms attached to the object to be sterilized.
[0018]
