Ozone sanitizing system

摘要

A device for sanitizing objects using ozone is disclosed having a container defining an enclosed space and a selectively closeable opening for enclosing the space, an ozone generator, an ozone converter, a controller, and a timer working together to generate a predetermined concentration of ozone within the enclosed space and maintain approximately the same concentration for a predetermined period of time. Also disclosed are assemblies and methods detecting and warning of entrapment within the enclosure and halting ozone production when it occurs. Further disclosed are devices and methods for coupling a maintenance device to the sanitizing system to perform various maintenance operations such as adjusting operational control parameters, and observing conditions within the enclosed chamber in real-time such as temperature, humidity, and ozone concentration.

1. An ozone sanitizing system comprising:
a container defining an interior space, the interior space being accessible by a selectively closeable opening; a floor within the interior space; a sensing device responsive to objects resting on the floor; an ozone generator having a generator outlet in fluid communication with the interior space, wherein the ozone generator has an ultraviolet light in fluid communication with the atmosphere, and wherein the ultraviolet light converts at least a portion of the atmosphere to ozone gas; an ozone converter having a converter inlet in fluid communication with the interior space; a timer; an ozone sensor in fluid communication with the interior space, and; a controller responsive to the ozone sensor and the timer for controlling the ozone generator and the ozone converter, wherein the controller is configured to stop ozone generation if the sensing device indicates an object resting on the floor.
