The present invention relates to a spoon and a chopstick sterilizer, and more particularly, to a spoon and a chopstick sterilizer capable of freely attaching and detaching a sterilizing unit for sterilizing bacteria by emitting ultraviolet rays to a spoon and a chopstick.

Generally, a sterilizer for spoons and chopsticks is to sterilize spoons and chopsticks used to open or collect food, thereby keeping the spoons and chopsticks clean.

Especially, the sterilizer of the spoon and the chopstick dissipate ultraviolet rays in a state that the spoon and the chopstick are contained in the closed space, and the bacteria living in the spoon and the chopstick are killed.

The spoon and the chopstick which have been killed by the above-mentioned process are stored in the closed space of the sterilizer of the spoon and the chopstick so that the propagation of the germ to the spoon and the chopstick is prevented due to the external pollutants.

Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional portable spoon and a chopstick sterilizer, which includes a main body for receiving a spoon and a chopstick and fixing the spoon and the chopstick to a fixed holder, And a body part which is installed inside the body part and emits ultraviolet rays to the spoon and the chopstick by an ultraviolet lamp provided in the body part.

Here, the main body stores the battery in the battery compartment and supplies power to the ultraviolet lamp.

A power switch for manually operating the ultraviolet lamp and a door switch for actuating the ultraviolet lamp for a predetermined period of time are formed on the upper surface of the main body by pressing projections formed on the lid.

That is, by fixing the chopstick and the spoon to the fixing holder in the main body and covering the cover in this state, the door switch of the main body is pressed against the pressing protrusion of the cover to operate the ultraviolet lamp for a predetermined time.

Then, the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet lamp is emitted to the spoon and the chopstick, and the bacteria are killed in the spoon and the chopstick.

Particularly, the main body can be easily cleaned by separating the coupling part to allow the lid part to be detached from the main body part, and the main body part with the ultraviolet lamp is detached from the main body part.

However, the portable spoon and the chopstick sterilizer of Patent Document 1 have the following problems.

First, the water on the spoon or the chopstick falls into the main body, the water sticks to the main body, and the water in the main body touches the spoon or the chopstick directly to lower the sterilizing effect. Bacteria are proliferated secondarily to spoons or chopsticks by the contaminated water, and the water which is lodged in the body part is invaded by the battery compartment, thereby causing the risk of accident such as electric leakage.

Second, since there is no separate means for fixing the body portion in the body portion, the body portion can be easily detached from the body portion, or the ultraviolet ray lamp may be damaged in the body portion due to frequent flow.

Thirdly, when the inner space of the main body is sealed with the lid part, the operation of the ultraviolet lamp can not be visually recognized. When the ultraviolet lamp is operated, the lid is opened to check the operation of the ultraviolet lamp. The light from the side of the spoon or the chopsticks is diverged and the sterilization site is narrow.

Fourth, the spoon or chopsticks are directly contacted with each other to cause cross infection, and the portion where the spoon or chopsticks are covered with each other relatively does not receive the light of the ultraviolet lamp.
