[0002] After long-term use of the ultraviolet sterilization device, a large amount of dirt and scale will be deposited on the surface of the lamp tube due to various impurities in the water, affecting the sterilization effect of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0003] In the past, ultraviolet sterilization devices usually had the end face of the device tube shell designed as a detachable flange end plate structure for easy disassembly and cleaning. The surface of the lamp tube inside the tube shell can be cleaned by removing the flange end plate. However, such ultraviolet sterilization devices need to be shut down for disassembly and cleaning, and cannot be cleaned online while the ultraviolet sterilization lamp is working.

[0004] There are also ultraviolet sterilization devices with online cleaning functions on the market, such as a ultraviolet sterilizer with a self-cleaning function disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN117401769A, and a cleaning mechanism for ultraviolet sterilization equipment disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN105598106B. They clean the ultraviolet lamp online by arranging a cleaning component in the tube shell. However, since such a cleaning component has a complex structure and many parts, it is still necessary to design the end face of the tube shell as a detachable flange end plate. In this way, when the sterilization device is assembled, the flange end plate is removed so that the various parts of the cleaning component can be installed inside the tube shell from the end face of the tube shell.

[0005] As can be seen from the above, in the existing technical solutions, whether it is an ultraviolet sterilization device that needs to be shut down for disassembly and cleaning, or an ultraviolet sterilization device that can be cleaned online, it is necessary to design the end face of the tube shell of the sterilization device as a detachable flange end plate structure. However, with the setting of the flange end plate, the tube shell has the problem of sealing failure. After long-term use, the ultraviolet sterilization device is prone to water seepage at the flange end plate of the tube shell, and the structure of the flange end plate also increases the processing and manufacturing cost of the tube shell.
