Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ultraviolet sterilization, in particular to an ultraviolet sterilization pen holder. Background Art

[0002] Pens are needed in daily life and study, such as writing and drawing with a pen. A stylus is also used when using a touch screen device, such as using a stylus to click on the touch screen or using a stylus to write and draw on the touch screen. It can be said that pens are the most common daily necessities and are often used by different people as public items, such as signature pens at bank counters and styluses inside banks. However, this also brings new hygiene problems. Frequent contact with the hands of different people will inevitably produce parasitic bacteria on the pen, which can easily cause virus transmission and affect human health. Especially in places with large traffic and high frequency of pen use, it is easy to cause large-scale spread and diffusion of germs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new technology that can sterilize pens in a timely manner. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art and provide an ultraviolet sterilization pen holder. The present invention has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can quickly and effectively sterilize pens in all directions.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A UV sterilization pen holder, characterized in that it comprises a base, a control panel, a lifting mechanism and an outer tube are fixed on the base, an infrared detection station and a UV sterilization station are arranged in sequence from bottom to top in the outer tube, a pen picking and placing station is arranged above the outer tube, and the control panel controls the pen to move between the pen picking and placing station and the UV sterilization station through the lifting mechanism.

[0006] A light-transmitting inner cylinder is arranged inside the outer cylinder, and the length of the light-transmitting inner cylinder is between the outer cylinder and the pen to be sterilized; the lifting mechanism controls the pen to move between the pen taking and placing station and the ultraviolet sterilization station through the light-transmitting inner cylinder.

[0007] The infrared detection station is provided with an infrared detection component connected to the control panel, and the ultraviolet sterilization station is provided with an ultraviolet sterilization component connected to the control panel.

[0008] The ultraviolet sterilization component is an ultraviolet lamp tube symmetrically arranged along the axial center line direction of the outer cylinder.

[0009] There are at least two groups of ultraviolet sterilization components, which are evenly arranged from top to bottom in the outer tube. Each group of ultraviolet sterilization components includes two sets of symmetrically arranged ultraviolet lamp beads, and the irradiation direction of the ultraviolet lamp beads located at the top is tilted downward by 25-35 degrees.

[0010] The base is provided with an anti-theft alarm connected with the control panel.

[0011] The base includes an outer shell and an inner cavity, a control panel and a lifting mechanism are both installed in the inner cavity, a through hole corresponding to the inner channel of the outer tube is opened on the upper part of the outer shell, and the lifting mechanism passes through the through hole to control the pen to move between the pen picking and placing station and the ultraviolet sterilization station.

[0012] The lifting mechanism includes a fixed block, a motor, a reducer, a screw, a lifting member and a guide rod. The fixed block is fixed in the inner cavity. The motor is installed on the fixed block and connected to the control board. The guide rod is symmetrically arranged on the fixed block. The lifting member includes a guide part movably sleeved on the guide rod and a lifting part for passing through a through hole to drive the pen to move. One end of the screw is connected to the motor through the reducer, and the other end is threadedly connected to the lifting member.

[0013] A power supply module for supplying power to the control panel and the lifting mechanism is also arranged in the base.

[0014] The advantages of adopting the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The present invention controls the pen to move between the pen taking and placing station and the ultraviolet sterilization station through the lifting mechanism by the control panel, which is convenient for accurately inserting the pen into the outer tube and quickly taking out the pen after sterilization; at the same time, the pen can be completely located inside the outer tube during sterilization, so the pen can be effectively sterilized in all directions, which not only ensures a better sterilization effect, but also shortens the sterilization time, and the sterilization can be completed in as short as 3 seconds. In addition, it also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, and automatic implementation.

[0016] 2. The present invention provides a light-transmitting inner cylinder inside the outer cylinder, which is conducive to providing a stable support for the pen.

[0017] 3. The present invention can effectively and accurately detect whether the pen has been put into the outer tube through the infrared detection component, which has the advantage of high detection sensitivity. The use of ultraviolet sterilization components has the advantages of good sterilization effect and fast sterilization speed.

[0018] 4. The ultraviolet sterilization component of the present invention can use ultraviolet lamp tubes arranged symmetrically along the axis of the outer tube, or ultraviolet lamp beads evenly arranged from top to bottom in the outer tube. Different arrangement methods are conducive to meeting the sterilization requirements of different types of pens on the one hand, and on the other hand, are conducive to all-round sterilization of pens in the same time period, with the advantages of better sterilization effect and faster sterilization speed.

[0019] 5. The present invention can set the anti-theft time for the pen through the control panel, and can effectively prevent theft by combining with the anti-theft alarm. Specifically, the infrared detection component can effectively and accurately detect whether the pen is in the outer tube. When the pen leaves the outer tube for a period of time, if the user returns the pen to the outer tube within the anti-theft time, it is considered to be used normally. If the pen is not returned to the pen tube after the anti-theft time, the control panel controls the anti-theft alarm to emit a prompt sound to remind the user to return it in time after use, which plays the role of anti-theft and reminding the user to return it in time.

[0020] 6. The present invention installs the control panel, lifting mechanism and power supply module in the base, which can protect the control panel, lifting mechanism and power supply module from damage such as external touch, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the entire pen holder.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment discloses a UV sterilizing pen holder, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a base 1, on which a control panel 10, a lifting mechanism 2 and an outer tube 3 are fixed, and an infrared detection station 4 and an ultraviolet sterilization station 5 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top in the outer tube 3, wherein an infrared detection component 8 connected to the control panel 10 is arranged on the infrared detection station 4, and the infrared detection component 8 includes a symmetrically arranged infrared transmitting tube and an infrared receiving tube, and the infrared transmitting tube and the infrared receiving tube cooperate to form a detection channel for detecting whether the pen enters the outer tube 3; the height of the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 in the outer tube 3 is roughly the same as the length of the pen, and the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 is provided with an ultraviolet sterilization component connected to the control panel 10, which is used to perform ultraviolet sterilization on the pen entering the outer tube 3; a pen taking and placing station 6 is arranged above the outer tube 3, and the pen taking and placing station 6 is located above the outer tube 3, which is a virtual station for facilitating the putting in and taking out of the pen; the control panel 10 controls the pen to move between the pen taking and placing station 6 and the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 through the lifting mechanism 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, there are at least two groups of ultraviolet sterilization components, which are evenly arranged from top to bottom in the outer tube 3. The area between the uppermost ultraviolet sterilization component and the lowermost ultraviolet sterilization component is the area corresponding to the ultraviolet sterilization station 5. The ultraviolet lamp beads 9 form an ultraviolet sterilization area on the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 that can irradiate the pen in all directions; each group of ultraviolet sterilization components includes two sets of symmetrically arranged ultraviolet lamp beads 9, and the irradiation direction of the ultraviolet lamp beads 9 located at the top is tilted downward by 25-35 degrees. The number of ultraviolet lamp beads 9 is set according to actual needs, and a certain ultraviolet light irradiation intensity must be met to achieve a good sterilization effect.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base 1 includes a shell 11 and an inner cavity 12, the control board 10 and the lifting mechanism 2 are both installed in the inner cavity 12, the upper part of the shell 11 is provided with a through hole 13 corresponding to the inner channel of the outer tube 3, and the lifting mechanism 2 controls the pen to move between the pen taking and placing station 6 and the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 through the through hole 13. Specifically, as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a fixed block 14, a motor 15, a reducer 16, a screw 17, a lifting member and a guide rod 18. The fixed block 14 can be fixed in the inner cavity 12 by adhesive or threading. The motor 15 is installed on the fixed block 14 and connected to the control board 10. The control board 10 controls the opening and closing of the motor 15. The guide rod 18 is symmetrically arranged on the fixed block 14. The lifting member includes a guide part 19 movably sleeved on the guide rod 18 and a lifting part 20 for driving the pen to move through the through hole 13. One end of the screw 17 is connected to the motor 15 through the reducer 16, and the other end is threadedly connected to the lifting member. When the control board 10 controls the motor to rotate forward, the motor 15 drives the pen to move from the pen pick-up and placement station 6 to the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 through the screw 17 and the lifting member; when the control board 10 controls the motor to rotate backward, the motor 15 drives the pen to move from the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 to the pen pick-up and placement station 6 through the screw 17 and the lifting member.

[0031] Furthermore, a power supply module 21 for supplying power to the control panel 10 and the lifting mechanism 2 is also provided in the base 1 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer tube 3 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and its lower end can be fixed on the base 1 by means of clamping, bonding, etc., and its size is adapted to the size of the pen.

[0033] The pen holder described in this embodiment is suitable for sterilizing both ordinary writing pens and touch pens; when used in public places, an anti-theft alarm (not shown in the figure) connected to the control panel 10 can also be set on the base 1, and the control panel 10 cooperates with the anti-theft alarm to prevent theft. Specifically, the control panel 10 pre-sets an anti-theft time, and detects whether the pen is in use after leaving the pen holder. If it is in use, no alarm is issued; if it is not in use and the anti-theft time is exceeded, the control panel 10 controls the anti-theft alarm to sound an alarm.

[0034] The implementation principle of this embodiment is:

[0035] First, the control board 10 controls the infrared transmitting tube to emit infrared light to the infrared receiving tube to form a detection path. When the infrared detection component 8 detects that a pen is placed in the outer tube 3, the infrared light between the infrared transmitting tube and the infrared receiving tube is blocked. The control board 10 first sends a lifting command to the lifting mechanism 2. After receiving the command, the lifting mechanism 2 controls the pen to move from the pen picking and placing station 6 to the ultraviolet sterilization station 5, so that the pen is completely located in the area that can be irradiated by ultraviolet light. Then the control board 10 sends a sterilization command to the ultraviolet sterilization component. After receiving the sterilization command, the ultraviolet sterilization component emits ultraviolet light to sterilize the pen. After the sterilization is completed, the controller first controls the ultraviolet sterilization component to stop emitting ultraviolet light, and then controls the pen to move from the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 to the pen picking and placing station 6 through the lifting mechanism 2, so that the upper end of the pen is exposed from the outer tube 3 and is located at the pen picking and placing station 6. Finally, the pen is taken away to complete the sterilization. Effectively prevent the spread of bacteria.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] This embodiment discloses a UV sterilizing pen holder, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a base 1, on which a control panel 10, a lifting mechanism 2 and an outer cylinder 3 are fixed. The structures of the base 1, the lifting mechanism 2 and other components are preferably the same as those in Example 1, and will not be described in detail. An infrared detection station 4 and an ultraviolet sterilization station 5 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top in the outer cylinder 3. Among them, the infrared detection station 4 is provided with an infrared detection component 8 connected to the control board 10, and the infrared detection component 8 includes a symmetrically arranged infrared transmitting tube and an infrared receiving tube, and the infrared transmitting tube and the infrared receiving tube cooperate to form a detection channel for detecting whether the pen enters the outer tube 3; the height of the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 in the outer tube 3 is roughly the same as the length of the pen, and the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 is provided with an ultraviolet sterilization component connected to the control board 10, which is used to perform ultraviolet sterilization on the pen entering the outer tube 3; a pen picking and placing station 6 is provided above the outer tube 3, and the pen picking and placing station 6 is located above the outer tube 3. It is a virtual station for facilitating the placement and removal of the pen; the control board 10 controls the pen to move between the pen picking and placing station 6 and the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 through the lifting mechanism 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the ultraviolet sterilization component is an ultraviolet lamp tube 22 symmetrically arranged along the axial direction of the outer tube 3. The length of the ultraviolet lamp tube 22 is the area corresponding to the ultraviolet sterilization station 5. The ultraviolet lamp tube 22 forms an ultraviolet sterilization area on the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 that can irradiate the pen in all directions.

[0040] On the basis of Example 1 or Example 2, in this embodiment, a light-transmitting inner cylinder 7 for placing the pen to be sterilized is provided in the outer cylinder 3. Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the light-transmitting inner cylinder 7 is a cylindrical structure with one end open, and is made of glass, acrylic and other materials. The outer diameter of the light-transmitting inner cylinder 7 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 3, and the inner diameter of the light-transmitting inner cylinder 7 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pen to be sterilized, so as to provide a stable support for the pen. The length of the light-transmitting inner cylinder 7 is between the outer cylinder 3 and the pen to be sterilized, which is convenient for quick placement of the pen. In actual use, the lifting mechanism 2 controls the pen to move between the pen placement station 6 and the ultraviolet sterilization station 5 through the light-transmitting inner cylinder 7.
