Disclosed is an ultraviolet sterilization apparatus which can be miniaturized by forming an ultraviolet LED for emitting ultraviolet rays integrally with a partial section of a flow tube. The ultraviolet sterilization apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention can comprise: a flow tube (200) through which water flows from one side to the other side; a sterilization unit (300) formed integrally with a partial section of the flow tube (200) and including at least one ultraviolet LED (310) for emitting ultraviolet rays; and a support unit (400) for allowing the ultraviolet LED (310) to be included in the sterilization unit (300). The above constitution can miniaturize the ultraviolet sterilization apparatus of the present invention, prevent a degradation in sterilizing performance in spite of the miniaturization of the ultraviolet sterilization apparatus, and miniaturize products, such as water purifiers, including the ultraviolet sterilization apparatus. |
