Abstract
An automatic disinfection workstation system utilizes a disinfecting workstation-light to disinfect surfaces within the workstation and may also include an airflow disinfecting system that utilizes an airflow disinfecting light to disinfect an airflow through the workstation. The workstation may have three walls forming the workstation enclosure and the disinfecting workstation-light may be configured proximal to the top of the walls and emit ultraviolet light to deactivate or kill germs or viruses within the line of sight of the light. The disinfecting workstation-light is actuated over the workstation to produce light with various lines of sight to more effectively disinfect the workstation. In addition, a light-angle actuator may rotate the light to further increase the various lines-of-sight. This combination of traversing the light at various angles may further enhance the effectiveness of disinfecting the workstation. The airflow disinfecting light may be a separate light or may be the disinfecting workstation-light.
