ICT LED Sterilization and disease Control System for Disinfection and Sterilization of peggery

The present invention relates to an ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for disinfection and sterilization of a breeding space, and more specifically, disinfection and sterilization of a breeding space using Information Communication Technology. ) to sterilize the livestock, use cell phones and computers based on the location information of piglets and LED operation information to sterilize with LED sterilization lights, and ICT LED sterilization for disinfection and sterilization of manageable breeding spaces and disease management systems.

In general, sterilization systems are designed to administer a sterilizing medium to a surface or object to remove microorganisms living on the surface or object. Applications of the sterilization system include, but are not limited to, sterilization, disinfection of objects, and decontamination of spaces/areas. Sterilization systems are used to sterilize, for example, surgical instruments, food, or pharmaceutical packaging. As an example of an area/space pollution purification system, it is used to disinfect various surfaces and objects inside a hospital room, and is used for agriculture, for example, for breeding or breeding animals.

It is known that pathogenic microorganisms are prevalent in the environment to cause infections, and disinfection of areas/spaces is becoming increasingly important.

This is a particularly important problem because a large number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria are found in the environment, and the situation is getting more and more difficult.

The task in the existing space/area pollution purification system is to obtain a sterilization medium that is efficiently sprayed on all surfaces to be disinfected.

In particular, several conventional space/area pollution purification systems have limitations in obtaining a disinfectant source included in the system due to limitations in cost and size.

In addition, the directivity of the sterilizing medium in the existing space/area contamination purification system is mainly fixed, as a result, the conventional system is often configured to release a large amount of the sterilizing medium to simultaneously disinfect a large number of surfaces in a space or area. .

A problem with mass sterilization media is that parts of the room or surroundings may be overexposed to the sterilization media. In addition, this actually wastes the sterilization medium and potentially wastes time and/or energy for the disinfection process.

Also, in some cases, when the sterilizing medium is spread over the entire space, a sufficient amount of the sterilizing medium does not reach a portion of the space/area, particularly a surface relatively far from the disinfecting source or not in line with the disinfecting source.

If the exposure amount of the sterilizing medium is insufficient, an undesirable number of pathogenic microorganisms are left on the surface or object, and the possibility of infection of a person who comes into contact with the surface becomes very high.

Another problem of the conventional space/area contamination purification system is that the consideration and priority of objects and surfaces in the space performing the disinfection treatment are not determined. As a result, if the disinfection treatment for the space/area is finished before the allotted time, There remains a possibility that the object or surface in the space where the amount of contamination is likely to be large has not been sufficiently disinfected.

In particular, the disinfection source of a space/area remediation system is often located or installed at a central point within the space such that exposure of the disinfecting medium from the disinfecting source to the periphery of the space/area is uniform within the space/area.

Similarly, when a system includes a plurality of disinfectants, they are often distributed uniformly throughout the space rather than near a specific object as an effort to disinfect the entire space during a given disinfection treatment.

In addition, the disinfection source of the space/area pollution purification system can be located near an object or surface, such as a bed in a hospital room, but by locating the disinfection source near a specific object, a door handle or light that is considered to have a large amount of pollution There is a problem in that it cannot adequately respond to the need for disinfection of other objects or surfaces in a space/area, such as a switch.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an ICT LED sterilization and disinfection system for piglets according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the breeding space may be a space in which animals such as pigs reside. In the case of the pig house breeding space, the chemical is periodically sprayed into the pig breeding space through the automatic chemical spraying unit 160, and it may be possible to record this. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, disinfection and sterilization through the radiation of electromagnetic waves through the LED module 110 can be made. In order to perform disinfection and sterilization for such a pig house breeding space, in the present invention, as the LED module 110, the first LED 112, which is the first LED 112, exerts electromagnetic waves of a wavelength of 400 nm or more, and the second LED 114, which is the 250-280 nm Some exhibit electromagnetic waves with wavelengths. In the control of the LED module 110, electromagnetic waves having a wavelength of 400 nm or more are turned on all day long, and are turned on during the daytime when the risk of summer and infectious diseases is relatively low, and the output is lowered or turned off at night time to exist in the pig house. It is possible to protect the sleeping environment of an animal (in one embodiment of the present invention, it is generally regarded as an animal as a pig). In addition, in winter, when the risk of infectious diseases is high or infection is easy, the animal can be protected by increasing the output from the first LED 112 or irradiating it for 24 hours.

The electromagnetic wave emitted from the second LED 114 may be irradiated only in a space where there is no animal (pig) by using a sensor. Since piglets (pigs) have a habit of being rushed to the payroll during weaning, these basic items can be used. That is, the second LED 114 may be irradiated in an empty breeding space or in a breeding space being cleaned. At this time, a motion recognition sensor can be used. A motion recognition sensor is a sensor that recognizes the movement or position of an object. Various sensors such as a geomagnetic sensor and an acceleration sensor, and functions such as an altimeter and a gyro sensor are integrated into one chip. there is. Such a motion recognition sensor is for checking the existence of an animal (that is, a pig) in the livestock house of the present invention. Since the electromagnetic wave emitted from the second LED 114 is harmful to the animal, it is equipped to prevent damage to the animal. there will be

In addition, the database 170 stores not only the existence of pigs in the pig house, but also sterilization and disinfection execution information, and a record of measuring temperature and humidity. Sterilization and disinfection may be possible by irradiating the 2nd LED 114 to the entrance of the livestock house, the payroll and water supply line, the vent, etc. rather than the breeding space. At this time, we use the accumulated data, real-time weather, seasonal disease information, and sensors to disinfect and disinfect the inside and outside of the livestock (400,500). can

The automation method of the automatic chemical spraying unit 160 may use a piping facility, a mobile robot, an autonomous driving drone, and the like. The type and concentration of the chemical sprayed from the automatic chemical spraying unit 160 is changed according to weather, season, temperature and humidity, and it can be actually implemented after proven through several experiments to enable efficient and effective sterilization. Here, it is possible to record the infection symptoms of diseases for each animal recorded in the database 170 , and it is possible to take measures to share them with nearby livestock hospitals and quarantine centers 600 .

2 is a view showing the structure of the ICT LED sterilizing lamp for piglets.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the LED module 110 can be installed on the railing 200 or the thermal lamp 300 through the parts 150 .

As shown in Figure 2, the LED bulb of the present invention is a first LED that emits a wavelength of emitting an electromagnetic wave of 405 nm according to the wavelength of the emitted electromagnetic wave, and a second LED that emits an electromagnetic wave of a wavelength of emitting an electromagnetic wave of 278 nm. may include. In addition, the first LED 112 and the second LED 114 may be disposed to cross each other and electrically connected in parallel.

That is, the first LED 112 and the second LED 114 may emit electromagnetic waves having different energies, respectively.

As a sterilizer, a UV sterilizer is widely used. Ultraviolet (ultraviolet) is an electromagnetic wave on the short wavelength side following the wavelength region of visible light, and has a greater energy than visible light, has strong chemical and physiological actions, and can sterilize bacteria. In particular, ultraviolet rays may have different properties depending on the characteristics of the wavelength band of the ultraviolet rays.

That is, electromagnetic waves having a wavelength of 400 nm or less are called ultraviolet rays, and have different characteristics depending on the wavelength.

Looking at the characteristics of these ultraviolet rays, ultraviolet rays (UVA) having a wavelength of 315 to 400 nm means most of the ultraviolet rays reaching the earth, and has a nickname of ultraviolet rays that tanning. Most of the ultraviolet rays reaching the Earth belong to this region.

On the other hand, UVB ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 280 to 315 nm are ultraviolet rays that are blocked by sunscreen (sunscreen), and when exposed to such ultraviolet rays, skin cancer may occur. It is mainly used for medical purposes by activating vitamin D.

UVC ultraviolet rays are ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 200 to 280 nm, and are called short waves because they have the shortest wavelength among ultraviolet wavelengths, and have an effect of sterilizing various microorganisms. Due to this sterilization power, it is called the Germicidal Range, and it is known that it has the strongest sterilization power among UV rays by converting oxygen into ozone.

Therefore, the wavelength of UV-C ultraviolet rays used in the present invention is preferably 250 to 280 nm. In the case of using ultraviolet rays having such a range, by intensively destroying the structure of thymine in DNA, thymine that has absorbed the wavelength is pressed with neighboring thymine or cytosine, causing thymine to polymerize and inhibit DNA replication. Thus, there is an advantage that the function as a living organism can be easily stopped.

Moreover, the wavelength has the advantage of preventing the extension of the life activity of bacteria by oxidizing the phospholipids and proteins constituting the cell membrane. If a wavelength less than 250 nm is used, vacuum UV having a wavelength of less than 250 nm is generated and the wavelength is absorbed into the air, so that sterilization is not easily performed.

In addition, when ultraviolet rays of 280 nm or more are used, there is a disadvantage that UV-B ultraviolet rays are generated, which can cause diseases such as skin cancer or cataracts.

In this way, the prevention of quarantine through the LED using ultraviolet rays has the following advantages compared to the conventional chemical spraying method. When sterilization is performed by spraying a chemical solution from the automatic chemical spraying unit installed in the livestock barn, sterilization is not performed on the part where the chemical solution is not sprayed, so the efficiency decreases, the cost of sterilization increases, and the virus is completely removed. It has the disadvantage that eradication is impossible and requires a huge manpower.

However, in the ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for piglets according to an embodiment of the present invention, an automatic chemical spraying unit 160 is installed in the livestock to sterilize in parallel or alone with UV irradiation through the LED module 110, It is designed to record and check the corresponding data so that it can be used as post-mortem data.

That is, according to an embodiment of the present invention, using an LED to emit ultraviolet rays and performing quarantine through this has an advantage in that foreign substances and by-products, which are problems that may occur during chemical disinfection, do not occur compared to the case where the chemical is sprayed.

The automatic chemical spraying unit 160 may be sprayed in the form of air. In this case, a plurality of air injection holes may be selectively provided.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the LED module 110 capable of emitting an LED may be disposed on the cradle 120 and may have a characteristic capable of radiating electromagnetic waves radially in terms of the radiation (irradiation) characteristic of the LED. .

In order to increase the efficiency of the electromagnetic wave emitted from the LED, a reflex mirror may be installed on the rear surface of the holder 120 to increase the radiation efficiency of the electromagnetic wave.

According to the ICT LED sterilizing lamp for piglets according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to completely eradicate Staphylococcus aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) by irradiation for 24 hours.

Also, in the case of escherichia coli (E. coli), it can be completely eradicated through irradiation for 24 hours.

According to the ICT LED sterilizing lamp for piglets according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to sterilize with less energy than sunlight by using 405 nm, so it is harmless even when light hits animals.

A light emitting diode (LED) refers to a light emitting diode device, and generates light of a certain wavelength by adjusting a component ratio of a semiconductor compound. These LEDs have the advantage of fast response time and low power consumption compared to general light bulbs, and are recently used variously as lighting means.

Ultraviolet is a part of the spectrum of sunlight. It is invisible light that appears outside the short wavelength of visible light, and refers to a wide range of electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from about 100 to 450 nm. Ultraviolet radiation is called actinic radiation because of its strong chemical action.

For example, a compound of InGaN (indium gallium nitride) is used as an electrode material to produce a wavelength value of 395 to 405 nm. Products that consume more than 100w of power as a single UV LED have already been commercialized.

In the ultraviolet light source, ultraviolet rays are generally classified according to the wavelength value, and 254 nm or less is called deep UV, 365 nm is i-line, 405 nm is h-line, and 436 nm is called g-line.

Usually, AlGaN (aluminum gallium nitride) compound is used as an electrode material to manufacture an LED that produces a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm. Usually, in order to change the output or wavelength value of the UV LEDs, they are manufactured while changing the composition ratio of aluminum or indium.

Therefore, even in the case of the ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for disinfection and sterilization of a breeding space according to an embodiment of the present invention, ultraviolet radiation may be possible in two areas. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first LED 112 is configured to emit ultraviolet rays of 405 nm and the second LED 114 is 278 nm (referred to as UV-C ultraviolet rays. The characteristics of the above-described ultraviolet rays are as described above. ) of ultraviolet radiation.

In the present invention, ultraviolet sterilization power was evaluated in order to examine the characteristics of such ultraviolet rays. Although not shown, the sterilization power could be tested because the bacteria were cultured in a petri dish and the illuminance (mW/cm2)*time (b) = Dose (ml/cm2) was achieved with a 2mW UVC LED.

As a result of this test, the second LED 114 emitting UV-C ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 278 nm can eradicate various harmful viruses or harmful bacteria as described above.

3 is a view schematically showing the scene of sterilization of the livestock barn with 405 nm ultraviolet light, and FIG. 4 is a view schematically showing the state of sterilizing the livestock barn with 278 nm UV-C in an empty state.

In FIG. 3 , the piglets 250 are inside the railing 130 , and in FIG. 4 , it is a view showing that the piglets 250 are removed from the railing 130 and then sterilization is performed on the barn. In the case of using the second LED module 114, UV-C, since it has a strong sterilization power, it should be carried out after moving the piglets to another place. In addition, in the case of sterilization with the first LED lamp 112 , the presence of the piglets is harmless because it is not harmful to the piglets 250 even if the piglets 250 are present.

Figure 5 (a) is a view schematically showing that the ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for disinfection and sterilization of the breeding space according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on the side of the thermal lamp with the lower part open.

Referring to Figure 5 (a), the lower part of the open heating lamp 300 (hereinafter referred to as the LED module thermal lamp) is connected to the side of the LED sterilizing lamp 110 through parts 150. The radiation area and effect can be said to be the same as before.

Figure 5 (b) is a view showing that the ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for disinfection and sterilization of the breeding space according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on the railing.

Since the LED sterilization lamp 110 is coupled to the side wall of the handrail 200 through the parts 150, the radiation area and effect can be said to be the same as before.

Hereinafter, a management method of an ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for disinfection and sterilization of a breeding space according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In the management method of the ICT LED sterilization and disease management system for disinfection and sterilization of the breeding space, (a) the LED module 110 arranged in a straight line on the thermal lamp 300 or the railing 130 is installed (s10) . Through this process, it can be said that the preparation work for sterilization is completed. Then, (b) in the LED module 110, depending on the surrounding environment of the breeding space, the radiation (irradation) of the electromagnetic wave through the first LED lamp 112, or the first LED module 112 and the second Radiation of electromagnetic waves through the LED module 114 can be carried out at the same time. (s20) At this time, when sterilization through the second LED lamp 114 is performed, it may adversely affect the genes of the piglets 250, so piglets (250) should be separated from the livestock, which is a breeding space, and should be carried out as described above.

(c) it is possible to check whether harmful viruses or harmful bacteria remain in the target breeding space after the electromagnetic wave is emitted (s30).

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below.
