[0041] 142: Auxiliary lighting 150: Guiding device Detailed Implementation

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The sterilizable table (hereinafter referred to as "table") 100 of the present invention may include a top plate 110, a plurality of support legs 120 supporting the top plate 110, and a sterilization device 130 for sterilizing the top plate 110.

[0044] The top plate 110 can be formed into a rectangular or other shape, and can be made of various materials.

[0045] For example, the top plate 110 can be made of wood or the like.

[0046] The support legs 120 can consist of four, and the upper part can be fixed to the lower surface of the upper plate 110 to be positioned at the four corners of the upper plate 110, thereby supporting the upper plate 110 from the mounting target surface.

[0047] The installation target surface can be understood as the outdoor ground or the indoor floor surface.

[0048] The sterilization device 130 is fixed to one side of the top plate 110 and may include: a main body 131 extending in the front-back direction, a sterilization lamp 132 disposed on the other side of the main body 131, and a control unit 133 for controlling the opening and closing of the sterilization lamp 132.

[0049] They are installed on one side of the top plate 110 according to the length or width of the top plate 110. They can also be installed on opposite sides.

[0050] In other words, the sterilization device 130 can automatically sterilize and disinfect the entire upper surface of the top plate 110 using the sterilization lamp 132, and if the light irradiated by the sterilization lamp 132 centered on the center part of the top plate 110 does not reach the other side of the top plate 110, it can be installed and fixed on one side and the other side of the top plate 110.

[0051] The main body 131 can be formed into a cuboid shape, and its front and back length is equal to the front and back length of the top plate 110.

[0052] This can be understood as follows: the right side of the body 131, i.e. the other side, faces the top plate 110, and the left side, i.e. one side, faces the opposite direction to the top pin 110.

[0053] It can be equipped with a power cord (not shown) as a device for supplying power to the germicidal lamp 132 from the outside.

[0054] The germicidal lamp 132 can be composed of ultraviolet lamps or infrared lamps.

[0055] The germicidal lamp 132 can be installed on the other side of the body 131, tilted toward the top plate. That is, the germicidal lamp 132 can be installed tilted toward the top plate 110 based on the state that the irradiated light is perpendicular to the other side of the body 131, so that it points toward the top plate 110.

[0056] The germicidal lamp 132 can irradiate the ceiling plate 110 with ultraviolet or infrared rays according to the light source, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting the ceiling plate 110.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the germicidal lamp 132 can form multiple units and is arranged at equal intervals on the other side of the body 131.

[0058] It can also be like Figure 6 As shown, they are formed as one unit and extend along the front-back direction on the other side of the main body 131.

[0059] The control unit 133 can be placed on one side of the main body 131 and can include a first switch 134 for controlling the germicidal lamp 132, i.e., turning the germicidal lamp 132 on and off.

[0060] The table 100 may also include a lighting device 140 disposed on the main body 131.

[0061] The lighting device 140 may include a lamp 141 disposed on the other side of the main body 131.

[0062] The lighting 141 may be made of a first LED 141a and may be turned on or off according to the control unit 133.

[0063] The control unit 133 may also include a second switch 135 for controlling the lighting 141, i.e., turning the lighting 141 on or off.

[0064] It can be composed of multiple units and arranged at equal intervals along the front-back direction on the other side of the main body 131.

[0065] When the germicidal lamp 132 is composed of multiple first light-emitting diodes 141a, the multiple first light-emitting diodes 141a can be used as follows: Figure 1 The LEDs are arranged in the same straight line as the germicidal lamp 132. At this time, the germicidal lamp 132 and the first LED 141a are arranged sequentially in the front-to-back direction, and the first LED 141a can be arranged between adjacent germicidal lamps 132, or the germicidal lamp 132 can be arranged between adjacent first LEDs 141a.

[0066] Or, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the germicidal lamp 132 is composed of a single unit, a plurality of first LEDs 141a can be placed above or below the germicidal lamp 132.

[0067] The lamp 141 can be turned on, and the light from the lamp 141 shines on the table 110, thereby indirectly illuminating the table 100.

[0068] In addition, the lighting 141 can be used as a mood light to create a unique atmosphere for the table 100 and the shop where the table 100 is placed.

[0069] Therefore, Table 100 can improve customer satisfaction by providing more special services to its customers.

[0070] It may include an auxiliary lighting lamp 142 disposed on the upper surface of the main body 131.

[0071] The auxiliary lighting 142 can be formed by a second LED 142a and can be turned on or off according to the control unit 133.

[0072] The control unit 133 may also include a third switch 136 for controlling the auxiliary lighting 142, i.e., turning the auxiliary lighting 142 on and off.

[0073] Multiple second LEDs 142a can be formed and arranged at equal intervals along the front-back direction on the upper surface of the body 131.

[0074] By shining the light from the auxiliary lighting 142 upwards, the auxiliary lighting 142 can be turned on to indirectly illuminate the table 100.

[0075] In addition, the auxiliary lighting 142 can be used as a mood light to create a unique atmosphere for the table 100 and the shop where the table 100 is placed.

[0076] Therefore, Table 100 can improve customer satisfaction by providing more special services to its customers.

[0077] The main body 131 is hollow and square, which can accommodate the power cord or ballast and is used to transmit external power to the germicidal lamp 132, the lighting lamp 141 and the auxiliary lighting lamp 142.

[0078] The germicidal lamp 132 can be turned on or off by the first switch 134. It is turned on after the customer has finished using the table 100 and can sterilize and disinfect the tabletop 110.

[0079] When customers are using table 100, the germicidal lamp 132 can be kept off by controlling the first switch 134.

[0080] When customers use table 100, the main light 141 and auxiliary light 142 can be turned on, while the germicidal lamp 132 can be turned off.

[0081] That is, when the tabletop 110 is being sterilized and disinfected, the main light 141 and auxiliary light 142 are kept off. When customers or others use the table 110, they can be turned on under the control of the control unit 133.

[0082] The main light 141 and the auxiliary light 142 can be lit simultaneously, or only one of them can be lit.

[0083] Table 100 may also include a guiding device 150 that directs the ultraviolet or infrared rays emitted by the germicidal lamp 132 toward the top plate 110, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown.

[0084] The other end of the guide device 150 is rotatably fixed to the upper side of the body 131, and is positioned on the upper side of the body 131 when the body 131 is folded, and rotates in the opposite direction to the body 131 when the body 131 is unfolded, facing the upper plate 110. It may include: a guide plate 151; a stop 152 that extends upward from the other end of the guide plate 151 and contacts the other side of the body 131 when the guide plate 151 is unfolded to prevent the rotation of the guide plate 151; and a handle plate 153 that extends outward from one side of the guide plate 151.

[0085] The guide plate 151 is formed to extend along the front-rear direction of the main body 131, and on the other side it can be rotatably fixed to the upper side of the main body 131 by means of the hinge device 154.

[0086] The guide plate 151 can be rotatably fixed to the body 131 in a known general form.

[0087] For example, the guide plate 151 can be rotatably fixed to the body 131 by means of the hinge device 154.

[0088] The hinge device 154 may include a plurality of fixing protrusions 154a extending upward from the upper part of the body 131, such as Figure 8 As shown, a rotating protrusion 154b extends outward from the lower side of the guide plate 151 and connects between adjacent fixed protrusions 154a and fixed protrusions 154a, and a hinge shaft 154c rotatably fixes the rotating protrusion 154b to the fixed protrusion 154a.

[0089] Thus, the guide plate 151 can be folded or unfolded by rotating left and right around the hinge axis 154c.

[0090] Stop 152 can be as follows Figure 7 As shown, the guide plate 151 is formed by bending the other end of the guide plate 151 upwards from the folded state.

[0091] When the guide plate 151 is folded as shown in the figure, the stop 152 is located on the upper side of the body 131 and can contact the other side of the body 131 when the guide plate 151 is unfolded as shown in the figure.

[0092] The guide plate 151 can rotate 180 degrees left and right around the hinge axis 154c.

[0093] That is, when the guide plate 151 falls to the top of the body 131, the rotation in the folding direction can be stopped, and when the stop member 152 abuts against the other side of the body 131, the rotation in the unfolding direction can be stopped.

[0094] like Figure 7 As shown, the handle plate 153 can be formed by extending outward from one end of the guide plate 151 based on the folded state of the main body 131.

[0095] When the guide plate 151 is folded or unfolded, the handle plate 153 can be rotated relative to the guide plate 151 by grasping the handle plate 153 with your hand or the like.

[0096] A transparent window 151a may be formed on the deflector 151.

[0097] The transparent window 151a can be formed as a single window and extend along the front-back direction of the guide plate 151, or it can be formed as multiple windows and arranged along the length direction of the guide plate 151.

[0098] When the light guide plate 151 is folded to the upper part of the body 131 and the auxiliary lighting lamp 142 is turned on, the transparent window (151a) allows the light from the auxiliary lighting lamp 142 to be transmitted to the outside.

[0099] The guide device 150 may also include a baffle 155 that blocks the transparent window 151a when the guide plate 151 is unfolded.

[0100] like Figure 7 As shown, the handle plate 153 may be formed with a connecting plate 153a that protrudes downward from the other end and is connected to one end of the guide plate 150.

[0101] Thus, the handle plate 153 can be formed shape.

[0102] baffle 155 can be like Figure 7 The assembly shown is fixed between the connecting plate 153a and the stop member 152.

[0103] The baffle 155 is normally kept separate, but when the top plate 110 is sterilized, it is inserted between the connecting plate 153a and the stop 152, thereby preventing the light from the germicidal lamp 132 from being transmitted to the outside through the transparent window 151a.

[0104] The connecting plate 153a and the stop 152 may have fastening grooves A formed on their opposing surfaces, such as... Figure 9 As shown.

[0105] The baffle 155 may have fastening protrusions B formed on both sides to engage with fastening grooves A, such as Figure 9 As shown.

[0106] When the germicidal lamp 132 is turned on, the baffle 155 is inserted between the connecting plate 153a and the stop 152 to prevent the light from the germicidal lamp 132 from being transmitted upward through the transparent window 151a.

[0107] When the auxiliary lighting 142 is turned on, the baffle 155 separates from the connecting plate 153a and the stop block 152, thereby allowing the light from the auxiliary lighting 142 to be transmitted upward through the transparent window 151a.

[0108] The guide device 150 may also include an extension plate 156, which is rotatably fixed to the connecting plate 153a. When the guide plate 151 is folded, the extension plate 156 is folded together and folded toward one side of the main body 131. When the guide plate 151 is unfolded and fixed to the handle plate 153, the extension plate 156 unfolds together.

[0109] The extension plate 156 can be formed to extend along the front-rear direction of the body 131 and can be rotatably fixed to the connecting plate 153a by a known general form.

[0110] For example, the extension plate 156 can be rotatably fixed to the connecting plate 153a by means of an auxiliary hinge device 157.

[0111] The auxiliary hinge device 157 is as described above. Since the same construction as the hinge device 154 can be achieved, its detailed description will be omitted.

[0112] The extension plate 156 can be folded vertically while being folded together with the guide plate 151. When the extension plate 156 contacts one side of the main body 131, rotation in the folding direction can be stopped.

[0113] The extension plate 156 can extend together with the guide plate 151 and can also extend horizontally. When the extension plate 156 is fixed to the handle plate 153, it can prevent the extension plate 156 from rotating in the unfolding direction.

[0114] When the extension plate 156 is fixed to the handle plate 153, it can provide the effect of extending the guide plate 151 toward the top plate 110.

[0115] Therefore, the light guide plate 151 and the extension plate 156 can block the light from the germicidal lamp 132 from being exposed to the outside, while guiding it to the top plate 110.

[0116] A reflector (not shown) may be provided on the lower surface of the deflector 151 and the extension plate 156 in the deployed state.

[0117] The reflector can reflect the light from the germicidal lamp 132 onto the top plate 110.

[0118] The germicidal lamp 132 sterilizes and disinfects the desktop 110 without the need for any separate chemicals, thus ensuring the hygiene management of the desktop 110 and making the sterilization and disinfection process harmless to the human body and environmentally friendly.

[0119] In addition, after the tabletop 110 has been sterilized and disinfected, when customers use the table 100, they can turn on the main light 141 or auxiliary light 142 to create different atmospheres and improve customer satisfaction.

[0120] The description provided is merely an embodiment of the sterilizable and disinfecting table of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the described embodiment.
