Patent ID: 8057751

Claim:
A sterilizing apparatus using a high pressure steam, comprising: an injection member for controlling the high pressure steam to be selectively injected; a nozzle unit having a rod-shaped nozzle for injecting the steam; a rotating unit having a hollow perforated in a length direction of the rotating unit so that the steam injected from the injection member passes through the hollow, a rotating means being installed in the hollow to be rotated by the passing steam, wherein: the nozzle unit injects the steam while being inserted in a subject to be sterilized, thereby sterilizing the subject, the nozzle unit is coupled to the rotating means to inject the steam while rotating together with the rotating means, and a screw line of a predetermined pitch is formed in an inner surface of the hollow so that the moving steam is rotated, wherein the rotating means includes: a cylindrical rotator having a first inflow hole formed in an outer surface thereof for introducing the steam, and a first through hole communicated with the first inflow hole and formed in a length direction thereof; and a rotary shaft integrally formed with the rotator and having a second through hole communicated with the first through hole and perforated in a length direction thereof, the rotary shaft being coupled with the nozzle unit, whereby the rotating means is rotated as the steam rotated by the screw line is introduced into the first inflow hole.
