Abstract
To provide a clothes locker having a function of removing dust and virus adhering to clothes stored after a person changes clothes.SOLUTION: A clothes locker is such that: air in a body base part 1 and a single treatment space 2 is sterilized or inactivated by deep ultraviolet LEDs 3a attached inside followed by passing air in the treatment space 2 through a filter 4; and air in the single treatment space 2 is pressure-fed by a blower fan 5 and is blown from above clothes stored in a plurality of adjacent storage spaces 6. Air sterilized in the treatment space 2 abuts on clothes in the storage space 6 to blow off dust and virus adhering to clothes, comes out of the lower blower fan 5 and is returned again to the treatment space 2. Deep ultraviolet LEDs 3b are attached also to a wall surface of the storage space 6, all doors 7 are closed and a closed state is detected by a door opening / closing sensor 8, and virus is sterilized or inactivated while repeating air circulation in the clothes locker with entire control equipment 9.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
