UV LEDs are currently used in a wide range of scenarios. Excluding the application of air and water destruction in daily life, some niche applications have also received some attention due to the epidemic. Recently, UV LED Wind Direction has found three gadgets on the market. What are their highlights?
Shared bicycle handle
Since sharing bicycles began to appear in 2016, sharing has become a common phenomenon! Due to the recent spread of the new crown virus, the hygiene problem of the handles of shared bicycles has begun to arouse the attention of many people, because it cannot avoid contact with multiple people, and the hands become wet when used, so it is a place where bacteria and viruses in the environment are prone to multiply.
A Korean college student developed the "Infinite Circle". It is understood that Infinity Circle is a device that sterilizes and shares a mobile handle. A straight hole is punched in the tube on the inner side of the handle, and the outer rubber cover is screwed in and out. The principle is to sterilize the rotating rubber cover through the UVC-LED inside the handle.
Highlights: It can kill bacteria on the surface of the handle, taking into account common problems
Thinking: Multi-faceted considerations such as exposure dose, exposure time (can it be a spike), and battery life issues.
Toothpick sterilization box
At present, there are quite a lot of toothpick boxes on the market, but this is the first time that toothpick boxes have been added with a sterilization function. UV LED Wind Direction learned that a sterilizing toothpick gadget "IGOKOCHI" has been launched on the market, which uses UV LEDs with wavelengths of 300nm-400nm to kill toothpicks by lighting.
Highlights: Open new scenes to explore and invade the details of life appliances.
Thinking: It is not the wavelength band with the strongest killing ability. UV sterilization usually uses the wavelength range of 100nm to 280nm. The sterilization effect of this product is worth exploring.
Automatic UV disinfection monitoring station
For people who frequently use computers in office, the "Automatic UV Sterilization Monitoring Station SY-141" launched by Soui Japan has a certain market.
It is understood that the "automatic ultraviolet sterilization monitoring station" is a monitoring station that can disinfect and clean the items around the computer. A total of 14 UVC-LED lights are installed, which can disinfect the surface of objects. Due to the built-in sensor, UVC can be irradiated automatically for 2 minutes just by placing the object.
Highlights: Concentrate on the elimination of objects frequently contacted by people in the office, and it does not affect normal work during daily use.
Thinking: Safety in daily use.
Conclusion: These three gadgets are all relatively niche scene applications in life. The combination with UV LED can be described as a product that combines creative needs for epidemic control, but in terms of function and safety, further optimization is needed.
