PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sterilization device capable of suppressing a pressure drop of a fluid to be sterilized occurring when the fluid to be sterilized is passed through the device.SOLUTION: The sterilization device according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: a sterilization lamp a cylindrical body part having a flow channel of a fluid to be sterilized in its inside and storing the sterilization lamp in its inside and an opening at its end and a lid member arranged at the opening. The lid member includes in its inside, a connection port through which the fluid to be sterilized flows in and out and a cavity that communicates with the connection port on the one side and with the flow channel on the other side. The inner wall of the cavity partitions an inside-lid flow channel through which the fluid to be sterilized flows in the lid member. The inner wall of the cavity inclines toward the flow channel side from the connection port side so as to come closer to the body part as turning around the central axis of the body part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、除菌対象となる流体を通過させる際の圧力損失を抑制することが可能な除菌装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の一態様に係る除菌装置は、除菌ランプと、内部に、除菌対象となる流体の流路を有し、内部に除菌ランプを収納し、かつ端部に開口部を有する筒状の本体部と、開口部に配置される蓋部材とを備える。蓋部材は、内部に、除菌対象となる流体が入出する接続口と、一方において接続口に連通し、他方において流路に連通するキャビティとを有する。キャビティの内壁は、蓋部材の内部において除菌対象となる流体が流れる蓋内流路を画している。キャビティの内壁は、接続口側から流路側に向かって本体部の中心軸線の周囲を周回するにしたがって本体部に近づくように傾斜している。【選択図】図1
