Such ultraviolet rays are generic names of electromagnetic waves having a wavelength of about 10 to 400 nm, and are classified into UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, and UV-D. Among them, the UV-C series ultraviolet rays exhibit strong sterilization effect with ultraviolet rays in the wavelength range of 100-280 nm. On the other hand, UV-C UV is reported to be able to sterilize various fungi, bacteria and viruses, such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus to 99.7% level.

Therefore, the ultraviolet lamp 10 applied to the bedding sterilization apparatus 1 of the present invention should emit UV-C-based ultraviolet rays, and in particular, it should emit a wavelength of 253.7 nm showing the strongest sterilizing effect among the ultraviolet rays. desirable.

The UV lamp 10 generally uses tungsten filaments at both ends of the lamp by using a special material that efficiently transmits ultraviolet rays through the glass tube, and heat electrons such as valium oxide, calcium oxide, and strontium oxide (emitter) on the outside. An easy-to-spin material is applied, and the glass tube may be vacuumed and then mixed with an appropriate amount of mercury and argon (Ar) gas or an inert gas to form a sealed form. At this time, preheating by flowing a current through the two electrodes and emitting hot electrons from the emitter causes discharge (lighting) to occur through argon (Ar) gas. The electrons flowing in the tube by the discharge rapidly collide with the saturated mercury heat to generate a mercury resonance line (257.3 nm).

Alternatively, the ultraviolet lamp 10 may be implemented in a form in which a plurality of LED lamps are mounted on a predetermined transparent tube to emit UV-C-based ultraviolet light from the LED.

The housing 20 is made of a transparent material so as to transmit the ultraviolet light emitted from the ultraviolet lamp 10 to the outside.
