Sterilization module

Abstract

This invention discloses a sterilization module. The sterilization module includes a supporting outer tube, a light-transmitting tube, a first connecting component, a second connecting component, and at least one ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting component. The supporting outer tube extends along an axial direction and has a receiving space. The tube wall of the supporting outer tube has at least one light-transmitting opening communicating with the receiving space. The light-transmitting tube is axially disposed within the receiving space. An axially penetrating flow channel is formed inside the light-transmitting tube, and the light-transmitting tube has a light-transmitting section corresponding to the light-transmitting opening. The first connecting component and the second connecting component are respectively disposed at both ends of the light-transmitting tube, and each has an inlet and an outlet communicating with the flow channel. The UV light-emitting component is disposed on the supporting outer tube and positioned corresponding to the light-transmitting opening, so that the UV light emitted by the UV light-emitting component irradiates the flow channel through the light-transmitting section.

Claims

1. A sterilization module, comprising: a supporting outer tube extending along an axial direction and having a receiving space, the tube wall of the supporting outer tube having at least one light-transmitting opening communicating with the receiving space; a light-transmitting tube disposed within the receiving space along the axial direction, the interior of the light-transmitting tube forming a flow channel extending along the axial direction, and the light-transmitting tube having a light-transmitting section positioned corresponding to the at least one light-transmitting opening; a first connecting component and a second connecting component respectively disposed at both ends of the light-transmitting tube, and each having an inlet and an outlet communicating with the flow channel; and at least one ultraviolet light-emitting component disposed on the supporting outer tube and positioned corresponding to the at least one light-transmitting opening, such that ultraviolet light emitted by the at least one ultraviolet light-emitting component irradiates the flow channel through the light-transmitting section; wherein... The inlet, the flow channel, and the outlet are connected sequentially along the axial direction.

2. The sterilization module according to claim 1, wherein, The supporting outer tube is a stainless steel tube, and the light-transmitting tube is a quartz glass tube.

3. The sterilization module according to claim 1 further includes an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being at least partially disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the light-transmitting tube and the inner peripheral surface of the supporting outer tube, so as to fix the light-transmitting tube to the supporting outer tube.

4. The sterilization module according to claim 1, wherein, The number of the at least one light-transmitting opening is multiple, each light-transmitting opening is an elongated strip extending along the axial direction, and the multiple light-transmitting openings are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the supporting outer tube, so that the supporting outer tube forms a supporting rib extending along the axial direction between two adjacent light-transmitting openings.

5. The sterilization module according to claim 4, wherein, The number of the at least one ultraviolet light-emitting component is multiple, and the multiple ultraviolet light-emitting components are respectively disposed outside the multiple light-transmitting openings, and each has a light-emitting surface facing the light-transmitting section.

6. The sterilization module according to claim 5 further includes at least one heat sink, the at least one heat sink being thermally coupled to the side of the plurality of ultraviolet light-emitting components facing away from the light-transmitting tube.

7. The sterilization module according to claim 1, wherein, The first connecting component and the second connecting component are detachably connected to both ends of the supporting outer tube, and each includes a sealing element for sealing the corresponding end of the light-transmitting tube.

8. The sterilization module according to claim 7, wherein, When the first connecting component and the second connecting component are detached from the supporting outer tube, an open end is formed at each end of the flow channel, allowing a cleaning component to pass through the flow channel along the axial direction.

9. The sterilization module according to claim 1 further includes a flow-dispersing element disposed at the water inlet or the flow channel near the water inlet, the flow-dispersing element having a plurality of mesh holes for water to flow through.

10. The sterilization module according to claim 1 further includes a power detection component and a display component, wherein the power detection component is electrically connected to the at least one ultraviolet light-emitting component, and the display component is electrically connected to the power detection component to display the power supply status of the at least one ultraviolet light-emitting component.
