Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is a major use of antibacterial in the bathroom, it has a drying, sterilization function. State, through the use of human body induction control ultraviolet and using intelligent measuring the control scope of ultraviolet light, safe and energy-saving. Through the touch interface to adjust timing and switch. Use it for disinfection to dry towels, underwear, etc, make it become the guardian of the family healthy body.
- Inspiration
- Main idea is that because the towel to dry in wet or humid environment, long-term wet state could easily lead to mold and bacteria growth, if do not pay attention to change, it is easy to cause skin disease after contact with skin.

- Research
- The project research, disinfect the bathroom products, make the person the body get rid of the bacteria breeding of damp environment problems. Through research, when after the bath, the body pores amplification, wet towel more easily into the skin, the bacteria and inflammation. Through the market survey found that a large part of proportion, the bathroom damp problems. Therefore, through the study and formulate the design plan. Is through the drying and sterilization technology, get rid of the problems of wet towel. After continuous experiment, has a significant effect.
- Challenge
- The project's main research challenge is that the product coverage of objects of intelligent measurement technology. Because has certain difficulty in the production, so need to constantly adjusted. In order to more accurately control, drying and sterilization.
- Realization and Technology
- Production disinfection for this frame, it is necessary to achieve good control over the use of ultraviolet light, to achieve the unity on the production technology. Because, UV influential to the body, so the human body induction technology. When detected people close to, it would automatically shut off ultraviolet irradiation. In addition, the products mainly use SUS 304 stainless steel material, stable and durable.
- Operation and Interaction
- Disinfection of the handling is very easy, mainly through product touch interface to complete. Press the switch button, can to timing products. Within the scope of the time, the product will be automatically for drying and disinfection treatment, a towel or clothing. Set time, the product will shut down automatically using state, complete the tasks of the operation.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in December 2019 in shenyang, liaoning province in China and to carry on the design concept and research and development, is still in the implementation.
- Specifications
- Product size, 580 mm * 63 mm * 91 mm. Suitable for bathroom space, can be placed at the same time two towels. On the technical performance, by using the intelligent measurement, to control the scope of ultraviolet light, according to the coverage of objects to calculate the area of the sterilization.
