[0030] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiment is only one embodiment of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] In order to meet the relevant requirements of the "Electromagnetic Radiation Protection Regulations" (GB87021988) and the "Special Requirements for Antibacterial, Sterilization, Purification Functions and Air Purifiers for Household and Similar Electrical Appliances" (GB21551.3), the ultraviolet light in the smoke hood of the photoelectric purification system will not leak out (including reflected light), and the 8-hour occupational exposure limit will meet the following requirements: irradiance ≤ 0.13μW / cm 2 , irradiation ≤1.8mJ / cm 2 , UV light intensity ≤5μW / cm 2 , the present invention discloses a photoelectric purification system with ultraviolet light leakage alarm function.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a photoelectric purification system of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a photoelectric purification system is disclosed, including a photodecomposition device 1, a smoke hood 2, a smoke exhaust pipe 3, a smoke exhaust fan 4, a light leakage alarm device 5 and a power supply 6, wherein the smoke hood 2 and the smoke exhaust pipe 3 are connected to form a smoke exhaust channel, the photodecomposition device 1 is arranged at the connection between the smoke hood 2 and the smoke exhaust pipe 3, the photodecomposition device 1 includes a shading plate 11 and an ultraviolet light generator 12, the shading plate 11 is arranged on one side of the smoke hood 2, and blocks the ultraviolet light generated by the ultraviolet light generator 12 to prevent it from leaking to the smoke hood 2, the ultraviolet light generator 12 is arranged on one side of the smoke exhaust pipe 3, and generates ultraviolet light to decompose the pollutant particles of the airflow in the smoke exhaust channel, that is, the airflow containing pollution and no particles is first passed through the ventilation shading plate 11 of the photodecomposition device 1 and then purified by the ultraviolet light generator 12; the ultraviolet lamp of the ultraviolet light generator 12 emits C-segment ultraviolet light when working, and in this embodiment, the wavelength of the C-segment ultraviolet light is specifically 185nm. The exhaust fan 4 is disposed in the exhaust pipe 3 to generate negative pressure so that the oil smoke is collected through the smoke collecting hood 2 and then transported to the photodecomposition device 1. The power supply 6 is electrically connected to the ultraviolet light generator 12 and provides the ultraviolet light generator 12 with a working voltage.

[0033] In order to reduce the risk of ultraviolet light leakage in the C segment as much as possible, the light leakage alarm device 5 of the present invention is provided with multiple sensors and adopts multiple modes to detect the leakage of ultraviolet light. Specifically, the light leakage alarm device 5 includes a first sensor 51 and a second sensor 52 .

[0034] Among them, the first sensor 51 is an ultraviolet light sensor, which only senses the C-segment ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12; the first sensor 51 is arranged in the smoke hood 2 and simulates the position of the user's workspace. Since the first sensor 51 only senses the C-segment ultraviolet light, under normal conditions, the first sensor 51 does not work. When the C-segment ultraviolet light leaks, the first sensor 51 senses the C-segment ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12, and it can be considered that the shading plate 11 fails, then an alarm is issued, and at the same time, the connection between the ultraviolet light generator 12 and the power supply 6 is cut off, so that the ultraviolet light generator 12 stops working, thereby preventing the C-segment ultraviolet light from leaking to the user's workspace.

[0035] The second sensor 52 is a limit switch, and the mechanical part of the limit switch is connected to the shading plate 11 and the smoke hood 2 respectively; when the shading plate 11 is in the correct installation position, according to the design requirements, the C-segment ultraviolet light should not be leaked, and the limit switch is in the disconnected state; when the shading plate 11 deviates from the installation position, the C-segment ultraviolet light may leak, and the limit switch is turned on to trigger an alarm. The electrical part of the limit switch can also be set to be electrically connected to the power supply 6 and the ultraviolet light generator 12 respectively, and when the shading plate 11 is in the correct installation position, the limit switch is in the on state; when the shading plate 11 deviates from the installation position, the limit switch is disconnected to stop the ultraviolet light generator 12 from working.

[0036] The light leakage alarm device 5 can also include a third sensor 53, which is a light sensor and shields the C-segment ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12, that is, it is not sensitive to the C-segment ultraviolet light; the third sensor 53 is arranged in the exhaust duct 3 near the ultraviolet light generator 12. Due to the shielding effect of the sunshade 11, the natural light in the user's workspace will not pass through the sunshade 11 into the smoke exhaust duct 3 under normal conditions. When the third sensor 53 detects visible light, it can be considered that natural light in the user's workspace has entered the exhaust duct 3. Due to the direct and reflected light, it can be considered that the sunshade 11 has failed, and the C-segment ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12 may leak into the user's workspace. At this time, an alarm is issued to remind the user to perform ultraviolet light leakage detection, or the ultraviolet light generator 12 is stopped to prevent the C-segment ultraviolet light from leaking into the user's workspace.

[0037] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a photoelectric purification system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the first sensor 51 can also be a visible light sensor arranged in the smoke hood 2 and capable of sensing light of a specific wavelength band. At the same time, a light source 51' capable of emitting light of a specific wavelength band is arranged near the ultraviolet light generator 12. The light source 51' works synchronously with the ultraviolet light generator 12. When the first sensor 51 senses the light of a specific wavelength band emitted by the light source 51', it can be considered that the shading plate 11 is invalid, and an alarm is given. At the same time, the connection between the ultraviolet light generator 12 and the power supply 6 is cut off, so that the ultraviolet light generator 12 stops working and avoids the leakage of ultraviolet light of segment C. The second sensor 52 is a visible light sensor, and shields the ultraviolet light of segment C emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12 and the light of a specific wavelength band emitted by the light source 51', that is, it does not sense ultraviolet light of segment C and light of a specific wavelength band. By using a visible light sensor and a corresponding light source, the use of a high-cost ultraviolet light sensor can be avoided to reduce the overall cost of the equipment. In another embodiment of the present invention, the light leakage alarm device 5 may further include a third sensor 53, which is a light sensor and shields the C-segment ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12 and the specific band light emitted by the light source 51', that is, it is not sensitive to the C-segment ultraviolet light and the specific band light; the third sensor 53 is arranged in the exhaust duct 3 near the ultraviolet light generator 12. Due to the shielding effect of the sunshade 11, the natural light in the user's workspace will not pass through the sunshade 11 into the smoke exhaust duct 3 under normal conditions. When the third sensor 53 detects visible light, it can be considered that natural light in the user's workspace is emitted into the exhaust duct 3. Due to the direct and reflected effects of the light, it can be considered that the sunshade 11 fails, and the C-segment ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light generator 12 may leak into the user's workspace. At this time, an alarm is issued to remind the user to perform ultraviolet light leakage detection, or the ultraviolet light generator 12 is stopped to prevent the C-segment ultraviolet light from leaking into the user's workspace.

[0038] The present invention also discloses a method for preventing ultraviolet light leakage in a photoelectric purification system. To prevent ultraviolet light leakage when the photoelectric purification system is working, the present invention adopts an ultraviolet light leakage alarm mode, which specifically includes:

[0039] Step S1, turning on the power to start the light decomposition device and the smoke exhaust fan, and at the same time start the light leakage alarm device;

[0040] Step S2, when the first sensor detects the leakage of the ultraviolet rays in the C section, an alarm is sounded, and the power supply is cut off to stop the light decomposition device from working;

[0041] Step S3, when the second sensor detects that the shading plate deviates from the safe position, an alarm is issued;

[0042] Step S4: When the third sensor detects natural light entering the user's workspace, an alarm is issued.

[0043] The description and application of the present invention are illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to the above-described embodiments. Variations and modifications of the embodiments disclosed herein are possible, and replacements of the embodiments and various equivalent components are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
