Abstract

A sterilizing instrument has a pump to boost ozone solution pressure, so that a large amount of ozone is dissolved in the water. The ozone solution is further processed by a depressurizer to generate bubbles in nanometer scale, which contains oxyhydrogen free radicals that can destroy bacteria and virus and is free to pollution to the environment.

Claims

1. A sterilizing instrument comprising

an ozone producer,

a pump connected to the ozone producer,

an isopressing tub connected to the pump with a first transmitting pipe and having a pressure regulator,

a depressurizer connected to the isopressing tub with a second transmitting pipe and having a valve;

a water inlet tube connected to the pump;

an air inlet tube connected between the ozone producer and the water inlet tube a water outlet tube connected to the depressurizer, wherein a first switch is applied to the water outlet tube to control the water outlet tube and the pump.

2. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first switch is a photoresponse switch.

3. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a housing, wherein the ozone producer, the pump, the isopressing tub, and the depressurizer are all mounted in the housing, and the water outlet tube extends out of the housing.

4. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 3, wherein one end of the housing has a washing tub, a sink drain is mounted in the housing, with one end connected to an outlet defined at a bottom of the washing tub, and the other end extending out of the housing;

a faucet is mounted above the washing tab, is connected with the water outlet pipe, and the first switch is mounted on the faucet.

5. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 4, wherein the housing has a first chamber and a second chamber, the ozone producer, the pump, the isopressing tub, and the depressurizer are mounted in the second chamber, the first chamber has a second switch to control water to flow into the first chamber, and the water inlet tube is connected with a bottom of the first chamber.

6. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 5, wherein a rubber plug is plugged into the outlet, and an overflow vent is defined at a wall of the washing tub near a top of the washing tub, and an overflow pipe is connected between the overflow vent and the sink drain.

7. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 6, wherein a water level sensor is mounted in the first chamber and is connected with the second switch.

8. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 7, wherein a connecting pipe is connected with the first chamber and the sink drain and is controlled by a third switch.

9. The sterilizing instrument as claimed in claim 8, wherein a window is defined at a wall of the first chamber.
