Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water purification equipment, and particularly to a UV ultraviolet sterilization device for a water purifier. Background Art

[0002] In modern household and commercial environments, water purifiers, as important equipment for ensuring the safety of drinking water, their performance and reliability directly affect the health of users. The UV ultraviolet sterilization device is a key component in water purifiers for eliminating harmful microorganisms in water. However, existing UV ultraviolet sterilization devices have significant deficiencies in practical applications, especially in the problems of incomplete sterilization effect caused by uneven water flow and limited penetration of 254-nanometer UV-C ultraviolet rays emitted by ultraviolet lamps in water. These problems not only affect the safety of water quality but also pose challenges to user experience.

[0003] Currently, the UV ultraviolet sterilization devices on the market usually irradiate the flowing water body with 254-nanometer UV-C ultraviolet rays emitted by ultraviolet lamps to destroy the DNA structures of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the water, so as to achieve the purpose of sterilization. Although this method can effectively remove pathogens in water in theory, in actual operation, due to the problem of uneven water flow, some areas of water are not fully irradiated, thus reducing the overall sterilization efficiency. Specifically, when the water flow rate is too fast or the distribution is uneven, some water molecules may only come into contact with ultraviolet rays for a short time, or even completely avoid the light irradiation path, making the microorganisms in these areas unable to be completely inactivated. In this case, even after the so-called "sterilization" treatment, there may still be surviving harmful microorganisms in the effluent water, bringing potential risks to the health of users.

[0004] In addition, although UV-C ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 254 nanometers are most suitable for sterilization, their penetration in water is very limited, and the effective sterilization distance is usually between 1 and 3 centimeters. Beyond this range, the sterilization effect will be significantly weakened. This means that when designing a UV ultraviolet sterilization device, it is necessary to ensure that all water molecules can receive sufficient ultraviolet radiation within this limited distance. However, many traditional devices do not take this into account, resulting in some water bodies not being able to reach this optimal sterilization distance during actual use.

[0005] Existing UV ultraviolet sterilization devices lack an optimization and adjustment mechanism for different flow conditions. Due to the change of daily water use requirements, water purifiers need to adapt to different flow rates and water volumes. However, many traditional devices do not consider this. When facing peak water use periods or intermittent water use, their sterilization effect will be greatly reduced. Under low flow conditions, although the water flow is slow, if the device is not reasonably designed, it may also cause stagnant water flow in local areas, forming dead zones, which is also not conducive to comprehensive sterilization.

[0006] The poor adaptability of existing UV ultraviolet sterilization devices to water quality changes is also a problem that cannot be ignored. Water sources from different origins contain different suspended solids, dissolved organic matters, and mineral components. These substances may absorb or scatter ultraviolet rays, reducing their penetration power and sterilization efficiency. However, most traditional devices are not equipped with effective pretreatment units to reduce the impact of such interfering factors. For example, a high turbidity or color in water may cause ultraviolet rays to be absorbed prematurely, resulting in insufficient energy reaching the surface of microorganisms to complete the inactivation process. This not only weakens the overall performance of the UV device but also may mislead users into thinking that the treated water has reached the safe drinking standard, increasing health risks.

[0007] Existing UV ultraviolet sterilization devices meet the basic requirements to a certain extent, but there are still obvious deficiencies in dealing with incomplete sterilization caused by uneven water flow and the limited penetration power of ultraviolet rays in water.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a UV ultraviolet sterilization device for water purifiers is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

Water passes through the cotton core filter cartridge 12 from the water inlet pipe 2 for primary filtration, and the water enters the first water delivery pipe 11. The booster pump 14 starts to increase the pressure of the water flow, and then enters the PP cotton filter cartridge 15, the activated carbon filter cartridge 16 and the granular carbon filter cartridge 17 for secondary filtration. After the water flows out of the granular carbon filter cartridge 17, it enters the first three-way water pipe 18, and then enters the two reverse osmosis membrane cylinders 19 through the first three-way water pipe 18.

The sterilization drain pipe 704 is docked with the water outlet pipe 3, and the sterilized water is discharged from the water outlet pipe 3. The water outlet pipe 3 is connected to the water pipe for supplying water.

[0047] In the present invention, the sterilization water tank 4, the inner glass cylinder 605, the air glass cylinder 606 and the outer glass cylinder 607 are divided into the first ultraviolet sterilization area, the second ultraviolet sterilization area and the third ultraviolet sterilization area. The first ultraviolet sterilization area plays the role of initial sterilization. After the water passes through the ultraviolet ray irradiation in the second ultraviolet sterilization area and the third ultraviolet sterilization area, the sterilization effect is effectively improved, ensuring that the water is thoroughly disinfected in multiple stages and avoiding the problem of incomplete sterilization caused by uneven water flow. Through the structural design of the annular base 601, the electrode ring 602, the power connection ring base 603, the filament 604, the inner glass cylinder 605, the air glass cylinder 606 and the outer glass cylinder 607, an ultraviolet lamp tube is formed between the outer layer of the inner glass cylinder 605 and the inner layer of the air glass cylinder 606, and the outer glass cylinder 607 is arranged outside the ultraviolet lamp tube. This design forms the second ultraviolet sterilization area and the third ultraviolet sterilization area, enabling the ultraviolet lamp tube to be closely combined with these areas, thereby ensuring the effective coverage and sterilization effect of the ultraviolet sterilization area.

[0048] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
