The concept of a novel sanitization device specifically designed for helmets used in bike share services is presented in this scientific work. The system uses ozone, a powerful oxidizing agent, to completely remove dust and bacteria from the helmet surface. Throughout the development process, special attention has been paid to the dual initial goals of efficacy in removing dirt and batteries, as well as ease of use related to the device's safety. In fact, today's sharing services are rarely capable of providing adequate disinfection of the tools, which is especially troubling given the most recent years of pandemic caused by Covid-19. The invention of the ozone-based sanitization device addresses the growing concern about hygiene and safety in bike share services. Furthermore, due to its portability and ease of use, the device is a cost-effective and viable solution for use in a variety of settings. A significant contribution to the advancement of sanitization technology and public health is expected with this work.
本科学著作提出了一种专门为共享单车服务中使用的头盔设计的新型消毒设备的概念。该系统使用臭氧这种强大的氧化剂,从头盔表面彻底清除灰尘和细菌。在整个开发过程中,特别关注了去除污垢和细菌的功效以及与设备安全性相关的易用性这两个初始目标。事实上,如今的共享服务很少能够对工具进行充分消毒,考虑到最近几年由新冠疫情引发的大流行,这尤其令人担忧。基于臭氧的消毒设备的发明解决了共享单车服务中对卫生和安全日益增长的担忧。此外,由于其便携性和易用性,该设备是一种具有成本效益且适用于各种环境的可行解决方案。预计这项工作将对消毒技术和公共卫生的进步做出重大贡献。
