DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that the specific implementation methods described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", generally refer to the upper and lower parts of the device in actual use or working state, specifically the drawing direction in the accompanying drawings; while "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device.

[0020] Currently, there are a number of mature technologies for UVC sterilization of pipelines. For example, ultraviolet (UV) sterilization technology uses ultraviolet radiation to destroy the DNA structure of bacteria and viruses in water, achieving sterilization with high efficiency and no residue. There is also ozone sterilization technology, which rapidly decomposes to produce highly oxidizing free radicals, effectively killing various microorganisms. Furthermore, ozone is self-degrading, leaving no harmful substances in the water. Chemical sterilization is also common, such as adding disinfectants like sodium hypochlorite, which can inhibit and kill bacteria at a relatively low cost. However, these existing technologies also have their own shortcomings, such as limited UV penetration, difficult to control ozone dosage, and the potential for residual chemical residues that can cause odors and other problems.

[0021] Prior art UVC pipe sterilization devices with external UVC light strips have a problem: they cannot verify the proper functioning of the UVC light strips outside the water sterilization module. For example, the UVC light strips may malfunction due to aging, short circuits, or other factors. However, existing designs cannot detect these problems promptly, preventing prompt repair or replacement of the UVC light strips. This can affect the proper functioning and sterilization effectiveness of the entire UVC pipe sterilization device.

[0022] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the pipeline UVC sterilization device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an exploded structure of a pipeline UVC sterilization device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a pipeline UVC sterilization device, which may include: The water sterilization module 1 is provided with an ultraviolet light strip 11; Processing module 2, processing module 2 includes a detection end and a first signal output end, the detection end of processing module 2 is electrically connected to the ultraviolet light strip 11, and the first signal output end of processing module 2 is electrically connected to the warning module 21. Processing module 2 is used to: If it is detected that the current value of the ultraviolet light strip 11 is not within the preset current range, the warning module 21 is controlled to send out a warning signal.

[0023] It is understandable that the detection end of the processing module 2 is used to monitor in real time whether the current data in the ultraviolet light strip 11 is within a preset current range.

[0024] Specifically, the processing module 2 may include a detection module, a signal processing module and a power supply module. The signal input end of the detection module is electrically connected to the ultraviolet light strip 11, the signal output end of the detection module is connected to the input end of the signal processing module, the signal output end of the signal processing module is connected to the signal input end of the warning module 21, and the output end of the power supply module is electrically connected to the power input port of the detection module and the power input port of the signal processing module.

[0025] The power supply module is responsible for supplying power to the entire circuit. The detection module monitors the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11 in real time and transmits the current value to the signal processing module. After receiving the current value, the signal processing module analyzes and judges it. Once the current value is not within the preset current range, it is determined that there is a problem with the ultraviolet light strip 11, and an instruction is sent to the warning module 21, which will then issue a sound or light alarm.

[0026] Furthermore, the detection module also includes a current amplification circuit and a voltage stabilization circuit to improve recognition accuracy.

[0027] It is understandable that the warning module 21 includes but is not limited to any one of an indicator light, an alarm, and a display module.

[0028] During daily operation, the current carried by the UV light strip 11 of the water sterilization module 1 is within a certain normal range. When an abnormal situation occurs, that is, the current in the UV light strip 11 deviates from the normal range, or when the current value in the UV light strip 11 is detected to be too high or too low, the processing module 1 will promptly interact with the warning module 21, controlling the warning module 21 to immediately issue a clear warning signal. This clearly warns the user that there may be a problem with the sterilization equipment in the pipeline and that timely inspection and maintenance are necessary to ensure that the water sterilization module 1 can properly perform its sterilization function and guarantee water quality safety.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: by setting a processing module 2 and a warning module 21 in the water sterilization module 1, when the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11 deviates from the preset current range, the warning module 21 is controlled to send a warning signal to warn the user to repair the pipeline UVC sterilization device, thereby avoiding the situation where the ultraviolet light strip 11 may malfunction due to aging, short circuit, etc., so as to ensure that the water sterilization module 1 can perform its sterilization function normally and ensure water quality safety.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1 is provided with a water flow sensor 3, and the processing module 2 further includes a signal input end and a second signal output end. The signal input end of the processing module 2 is electrically connected to the signal output end of the water flow sensor 3, and the second signal output end of the processing module 2 is electrically connected to the control end of the ultraviolet light strip 11. The processing module 2 is also used for: If water flow is detected in the water flow sensor 3, the ultraviolet light strip 11 is controlled to operate, and the processing module 2 is simultaneously started to detect the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11; If it is detected that the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11 is not within the preset current range, the warning module 21 is controlled to send out a warning signal.

[0031] It can be understood that the water flow sensor 3 includes but is not limited to any one of electromagnetic water flow sensors, thermal water flow sensors, and mechanical water flow sensors.

[0032] It is understandable that since the life of the ultraviolet light strip 11 is generally 30,000 hours, if the ultraviolet light strip 11 is always in working state, it consumes a lot of energy and greatly reduces the service life of the ultraviolet light strip 11. Therefore, when water flowing through the water flow sensor 3 is detected, the processing module 2 controls the ultraviolet light strip 11 to operate.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application sets a water flow sensor 3 at the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1, senses the water flow condition in the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1 according to the water flow sensor 3, and controls the operation of the ultraviolet light strip 11 according to the water flow condition. At the same time, when the water flow is sensed to flow through the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1, the processing module 2 is synchronously started to detect the current in the ultraviolet light strip 11, so as to avoid the situation where the processing module 1 starts the warning module 21 to send a warning signal when there is no current in the water sterilization module 1.

[0034] Some embodiments of this application also include: The shell 4 has a first fastener 41 and a second fastener 42 at both ends of the shell 4 that are detachably connected to the two ends of the shell 4. The first fastener 41 and the second fastener 42 are used to connect with the water pipe. The water flow sensor 3 and the water sterilization module 1 are both arranged in the shell 4. The water flow sensor 3 is arranged at the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1, and the warning module 21 is arranged outside the shell 4.

[0035] It is understandable that the warning module 21 needs to be arranged outside the housing 4 or on the surface of the housing 4, wherein the warning module 21 is a status display light.

[0036] It can be understood that during the assembly process, the ultraviolet light strip 11 and the sterilization module body are first assembled into a water sterilization module 1, and then the water flow sensor 3 is assembled at the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1. After the assembly is completed, the embodiment of the present application achieves the simplicity and beauty of the appearance of the entire structure by setting a shell 4 outside the assembled structure.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1 is connected to the water outlet port of the water flow sensor 3, the water outlet port of the water sterilization module 1 is plugged into the inner side of the first fastener 41, and the water inlet port of the water flow sensor 3 is plugged into the inner side of the second fastener 42.

[0038] It is understandable that a water retaining ring is provided between the first fastener 41 and the water outlet port of the water sterilization module 1, and a water retaining ring is provided between the water inlet port of the water flow sensor 3 and the second fastener 42, wherein the water retaining ring can be a hollow silicone ring.

[0039] It can be understood that the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1 is connected to the water outlet port of the water flow sensor 3, the water outlet port of the water sterilization module 1 is plugged into the inner side of the first fastener 41, and the water inlet port of the water flow sensor 3 is plugged into the inner side of the second fastener 42, and then the entire structure is interference-connected in the installation space formed by the outer shell 4 and the second fastener 42 and the second fastener 42, so that the entire pipeline UVC sterilization device can be quickly assembled to reduce the assembly cost.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a UVC sterilization device for pipes provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 for Figure 3 In the enlarged schematic diagram of part A in FIG, the device further includes a first quick-connect joint 61 and a second quick-connect joint 62. The first quick-connect joint 61 is used to connect the water inlet end of the water flow sensor 3 and the water pipe. The outer wall of the first quick-connect joint 61 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first fastener 41. The second quick connection joint 62 is used to connect the water outlet port of the water sterilization module 1 and the water pipe. The outer wall of the second quick connection joint 62 is rotatably connected to the second fastener 42.

[0041] It can be understood that the first quick connection joint 61 is used to ensure the tight connection between the water pipe and the water flow sensor 3, the second quick connection joint 62 is used to ensure the tight connection between the water pipe and the water sterilization module 1, and the first fastener 41 and the second fastener 42 are used to disassemble the shell 1.

[0042] For example, the first fastener 41 is screwed to the housing 4, and the water outlet port of the water flow sensor 3 is plugged into the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1. Thus, when the first fastener 41 and the housing 4 are unscrewed, the connection between the water outlet port of the water flow sensor 3 and the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1 can be disconnected. Then, the second fastener 42 and the housing 4 are unscrewed, and the housing 4 is removed, thereby replacing the water sterilization module 1 or the water flow sensor 3 or the ultraviolet light strip 11 on the outer wall of the water sterilization module 1. After replacement, screw and fix the shell 4 to the first fastener 41 respectively, plug the water inlet port of the water sterilization component 1 into the water outlet port of the water flow sensor 3, and then screw and fix the shell 4 to the second fastener 2, thereby realizing a fastened connection between the water inlet port of the water sterilization component 1 and the water outlet port of the water flow sensor 3.

[0043] In this way, the tight connection between the water pipe, the water flow sensor 3 and the water sterilization module 1 is ensured. When the connection between the shell 4 and the first fastener 41 and the second fastener 4 is removed, loosening and leakage between the water pipe and the water flow sensor 3 and loosening and leakage between the water pipe and the water sterilization module 1 are avoided.

[0044] Furthermore, the water sterilization module 1 also includes a tube body, and an ultraviolet light strip 11 is arranged on the side wall of the tube body. The light-emitting side of the ultraviolet light strip 11 is directed toward the inner wall of the tube body for sterilizing the water flow inside the tube body.

[0045] It can be understood that the tube body includes a straight tube body, a curved tube body and other special-shaped tube bodies.

[0046] It is understood that the UV light bar 11 can be mounted on the inside or outside of the housing of the water sterilization module 1. There can be at least one UV light bar 11. The UV light bar 11 can be bonded, bolted, or otherwise removably connected to the housing of the water sterilization module 1.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 As shown, the first fastener 41 is provided with a perforation on the end face perpendicular to the axis of the shell 4, and the perforation is used to accommodate the integrated circuit 5. The integrated circuit 5 includes the control line and the power supply line of the processing module 2. The integrated circuit 5 is located inside the shell 4 and the outside of the water sterilization module 1 is provided with a line quick plug connector 51.

[0048] It is understandable that by providing a quick plug connector 51 on the integrated circuit 5 between the housing 4 and the water sterilization module 1, rapid assembly and disassembly can be achieved when assembling or replacing any module or structure in the pipeline UVC sterilization device.

[0049] Furthermore, the processing module 2 can be arranged on the inner wall of the housing 4 , and the line quick plug connector 51 is arranged on the signal line between the processing module 2 and the ultraviolet light strip 11 .

[0050] Furthermore, the processing module 2 can be arranged outside the water sterilization module 1 , and the line quick plug connector 51 is arranged on the signal line between the processing module 2 and the warning module 21 .

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, an integrated sensing device is further installed inside the housing 4, and the integrated sensing device includes a water flow sensor 3 and a first light intensity sensor, and the first light intensity sensor is used to obtain a first light intensity value emitted by the ultraviolet light strip 11, and / or; The integrated sensor device includes a water flow sensor 3 and a second light intensity sensor, and the second light intensity sensor is used to obtain a second light intensity value reflected in the water sterilization module 1 .

[0052] In the first case, the first light intensity sensor and the second light intensity sensor can be the same light intensity sensor. At this time, the light intensity sensor is mainly used to monitor the reflected light intensity value in the water sterilization module 1 to judge the water quality condition, and can also roughly judge the life of the ultraviolet light strip 11 according to the average value of the reflected light intensity value in the water sterilization module 1, but this data is not so accurate.

[0053] In the second case, the function of the first light intensity sensor is to judge the life of the ultraviolet light strip 11 by detecting the first light intensity value emitted by the ultraviolet light strip 11, and the function of the second light intensity sensor is to judge the quality of water by detecting the second light intensity value of ultraviolet light reflected in the water pipe of the water sterilization module 1, such as whether there are fine particles in the water.

[0054] Specifically, the first light intensity sensor is arranged facing the light emitting side of the ultraviolet light strip 11 , and the sensing direction of the second light intensity sensor is arranged at an angle of 90° to 135° to the light emitting direction of the ultraviolet light strip 11 .

[0055] Furthermore, the second light intensity value reflected by the second light intensity sensor can be corrected with reference to the first light intensity value emitted by the first light intensity sensor, thereby avoiding the problem of inaccurate second light intensity value caused by light attenuation of the ultraviolet light strip 11 .

[0056] In the second aspect, the present invention discloses a sterilization control method, see Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a flow chart of a control method for a UVC sterilization device for a pipeline, which is applied to the UVC sterilization device for a pipeline, including a water sterilization module 1 and a processing module 2. The water sterilization module 1 is provided with an ultraviolet light strip 11. The processing module 2 includes a detection end and a first signal output end. The detection end of the processing module 2 is electrically connected to the ultraviolet light strip 11, and the first signal output end of the processing module 2 is electrically connected to the warning module 21. The method may include the following steps: S1 . Detect the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11 . If it is detected that the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11 is not within a preset current range, control the warning module 21 to send a warning signal.

[0057] It is understandable that in order to ensure that users can promptly discover that the ultraviolet light strip 11 is operating normally and rest assured about the sterilization quality of the water used, the current condition of the ultraviolet light strip 11 is detected to see if there is any abnormality, so that the warning module 21 on the surface of the shell 4 can give the user a real-time warning, thereby avoiding the energy consumption of setting up water quality detection equipment at the water outlet port and reducing the cost of testing the safety quality of water.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is another flow chart of a control method for a UVC sterilization device for a pipeline. The water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1 is provided with a water flow sensor 3. The processing module 2 further includes a signal input end and a second signal output end. The signal input end of the processing module 2 is electrically connected to the signal output end of the water flow sensor 3. The second signal output end of the processing module 2 is electrically connected to the control end of the ultraviolet light strip 11. The method may further include the following steps: S11, detecting whether water flows through the water flow sensor 3. If water flows through the water flow sensor 3, the ultraviolet light strip 11 is controlled to operate, and the processing module 2 is synchronously started to detect the current value in the ultraviolet light strip 11; S12: If it is detected that the current value of the ultraviolet light strip 11 is not within the preset current range, the warning module 21 is controlled to send a warning signal.

[0059] It is understandable that since the life of the ultraviolet light strip 11 is usually around 30,000 hours, in order to increase the sterilization life of the entire pipeline UVC sterilization device, a water flow sensor 3 is set at the water inlet port of the water sterilization module 1. When water flow is detected in the water flow sensor 3, the ultraviolet light strip 11 is controlled to operate, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the ultraviolet light strip 11.

[0060] Furthermore, it can be arranged that if water flow is detected in the water flow sensor 3, while controlling the operation of the ultraviolet light strip 11, the control processing module 2 is simultaneously started to detect whether the ultraviolet light strip 11 is powered off or has unstable power supply.

[0061] By using the above method, it is avoided that the processing module 1 activates the warning module 21 to send out a warning signal when there is no current in the water sterilization module 1 .

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the method may further include the following steps: Obtaining a first light intensity value emitted by the ultraviolet light strip 11; Obtaining a life span interval of the ultraviolet light strip 11 according to a first light intensity value emitted by the ultraviolet light strip 11 and a plurality of pre-set life span intervals corresponding to different first light intensity values, and / or; Obtaining a second light intensity value reflected in the water sterilization module 1; The water quality value interval of the water sterilization module 1 is obtained according to the second light intensity value reflected in the water sterilization module 1 and a plurality of pre-set water quality value intervals corresponding to different second light intensity values.

[0063] The function of the first light intensity sensor is to judge the life of the ultraviolet light strip 11 by detecting the first light intensity value emitted by the ultraviolet light strip 11. The function of the second light intensity sensor is to judge the quality of water by detecting the second light intensity value reflected by ultraviolet rays in the water pipe of the water sterilization module 1, such as whether there are fine particles in the water.

[0064] Furthermore, the second light intensity value reflected by the second light intensity sensor can be corrected with reference to the first light intensity value emitted by the first light intensity sensor to avoid the problem of inaccurate second light intensity value caused by the light (first light intensity value) of the ultraviolet light strip 11 decaying over time.

The electronic device 1300 may also include one or more of a multimedia component 1303 , an input / output (I / O) interface 1304 , and a communication component 1305 .

For example, the audio component may include a microphone for receiving external audio signals. The received audio signals may be further stored in the memory 1302 or transmitted via the communication component 1305. The audio component also includes at least one speaker for outputting audio signals.
