Abstract:
A sterilizer may include: a first pipe having an inner wall with a light reflecting property; a second pipe disposed in the first pipe so as to pass fluid therethrough and formed of a light transmitting material; and a plurality of UV LEDs arranged on the inner wall of the first pipe and configured to irradiate sterilization UV light onto the fluid.

Claim (Index 1):
A sterilizer for sterilizing a fluid, comprising:\n a housing having an inner wall that reflects ultraviolet (UV) light; an inner pipe disposed in the housing and structured to provide a passage for a fluid to pass through the inner pipe, the inner pipe including a light transmitting material to allow the UV light to enter the inner pipe to illuminate and sterilize the fluid; a first UV light emitting diode (LED) and a second UV LED that are arranged on the inner wall of the housing and configured to irradiate sterilization UV light onto the fluid, wherein the first and the second UV LEDs are arranged in a zigzag pattern on different sides of the inner wall of the housing; and a light reflecting structure disposed on the inner wall of the housing positioned to reflect the UV light so as to prevent occurrence of a non-irradiation area of the UV light within the inner pipe, and wherein one of the first and the second UV LEDs is positioned within a beam angle of UV light emitted by the other of the first and the second UV LEDs, the beam angle ranging from 110\u00b0 to 140\u00b0.
