[0018] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0019] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the underwater ultraviolet lamp of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementation methods can be combined with each other.

[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this application provides an underwater ultraviolet lamp 10, which can be installed in an underwater environment to irradiate equipment to be treated, thereby preventing marine organisms from attaching to and growing on the surface of the equipment. The underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 includes a control circuit board 17, a support structure 11, at least one ultraviolet lamp plate 12, a light-transmitting cover 20, and a protective cover 13.

[0021] The support structure 11 includes a support body 18 surrounding the outside of the control circuit board 17 and a UV lamp holder 19 connected to the end of the support body 18. The UV lamp holder 19 can be integrally formed with the support body 18, or it can be detachably connected to the end of the support body 18. The material of the UV lamp holder 19 and the support body 18 can be the same, resulting in low interfacial thermal resistance and the formation of a continuous and smooth heat conduction path, thereby achieving stable heat dissipation.

[0022] At least one ultraviolet lamp plate 12 is disposed on the side wall of the ultraviolet lamp holder 19. The ultraviolet lamp plate 12 can emit ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 260nm~280nm. In this embodiment, at least two ultraviolet lamp plates 12 are disposed on the side wall of the ultraviolet lamp holder 19 and are evenly arranged along the circumference of the ultraviolet lamp holder 19. The materials of the ultraviolet lamp holder 19 and the support body 18 can both be aluminum alloy, which can help to achieve lightweighting of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 while ensuring heat dissipation. Since at least one ultraviolet lamp plate 12 is disposed on the side wall of the ultraviolet lamp holder 19, heat can be conducted through the ultraviolet lamp holder 19 and the support body 18, which can achieve effective heat dissipation of the ultraviolet lamp plate 12. The ultraviolet lamp plate 12 may include at least one ultraviolet lamp bead 14. In this embodiment, the ultraviolet lamp plate 12 includes two ultraviolet lamp beads 14, and the two ultraviolet lamp beads 14 include a first ultraviolet lamp bead 15 and a second ultraviolet lamp bead 16, which are arranged at intervals.

[0023] A light-transmitting cover 20 is positioned on the outside of the ultraviolet lamp holder 19. The light-transmitting cover 20 serves to protect the ultraviolet lamp panel 12. The material of the light-transmitting cover 20 can be glass, and the light transmittance of the light-transmitting cover 20 is not less than 92%.

[0024] A protective cover 13 is fitted over the outside of the support structure 11 and the light-transmitting cover 20, pressing the light-transmitting cover 20 firmly onto the support body 18. The protective cover 13 is used for clamping. The clamp can be a gripping structure. The protective cover 13 can be nested into the outside of the support body 18 via an interference fit. The underwater UV lamp 10 can be fixed to an external device, which can be the device to be processed, using metal clamps. The support structure 11 is made of metal, and the protective cover 13 is made of plastic. The metal material of the support structure 11 provides good pressure resistance, ensuring that the underwater UV lamp 10 can adapt to deeper underwater environments. In one embodiment, the surface of the support structure 11 undergoes hard anodizing treatment, further improving the material's corrosion resistance and thus better adapting to underwater environments.

[0025] In one embodiment, the support structure 11 can be made of a thermally conductive metal, allowing the heat generated by at least one UV lamp panel 12 to be conducted through the support structure 11, thus facilitating heat dissipation of the UV lamp panel 12. In this embodiment, the support structure 11 is made of aluminum alloy, which has high strength, low cost, light weight, good processing performance, and high thermal conductivity, meeting the heat dissipation requirements of multiple UV lamp panels 12, thereby facilitating heat dissipation of the UV lamp panels 12.

[0026] The underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 provided in this application includes a support structure 11, at least one ultraviolet lamp plate 12, and a protective cover 13. The at least one ultraviolet lamp plate 12 is disposed on the side wall of the support structure 11. The support structure 11 is made of metal, which gives the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 good pressure resistance and allows it to adapt to deeper underwater environments. The protective cover 13 is fitted over the outside of the support structure 11 for clamping. The protective cover 13 is made of plastic, thus protecting the support structure 11 and preventing direct contact between the metal support structure 11 and the clamp, thereby preventing electrochemical corrosion of the support structure 11. This design ensures that the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 can adapt to deeper underwater environments while effectively preventing electrochemical corrosion of the support structure 11, resulting in higher reliability.

[0027] In one embodiment, the thickness of the support body 18 can be 3mm to 4mm, thus ensuring good heat dissipation while ensuring pressure resistance in deep water areas.

[0028] In one embodiment, the protective cover 13 includes a first cover 23 and a second cover 24. The first cover 23 is fitted onto the outside of the support body 18 via an interference fit. The second cover 24 is located on the outside of the UV lamp holder 19 and is detachably connected to the support body 18 via screws. Both the first and second covers are made of plastic, giving them both strength and toughness, effectively resisting and absorbing external impacts. Furthermore, the first and second covers do not undergo electrochemical reactions with any metal, eliminating the need to consider the compatibility of the clamp material with the first cover 23, thus providing strong versatility and saving costs.

[0029] In one embodiment, the thickness of the first outer cover 23 can be 2mm to 3mm, which ensures effective heat dissipation while being stronger and adaptable to deeper underwater environments.

[0030] In one embodiment, the underwater UV lamp 10 further includes a first buffer pad 21 and a second buffer pad 22. The first buffer pad 21 and the second buffer pad 22 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the light-transmitting cover 20 in the axial direction of the underwater UV lamp 10. In this embodiment, the first buffer pad 21 and the second buffer pad 22 are made of rubber, thus providing good cushioning effect. The protective outer cover 13 is connected to the support structure 11 and applies a pressing force towards the support structure 11 to the light-transmitting cover 20 through the first buffer pad 21. The second outer cover 24 is detachably connected to the support structure 11 and applies a pressing force towards the support body 18 of the support structure 11 to the light-transmitting cover 20 through the first buffer pad 21. The second outer cover 24 is disposed on the outside of the light-transmitting cover 20. The second buffer pad 22 is disposed between the light-transmitting cover 20 and the support structure 11. Since the light-transmitting cover 20 is made of brittle material, the first buffer pad 21 and the second buffer pad 22 act as buffers to avoid rigid contact and effectively achieve cushioning under strong vibration and impact, thereby effectively preventing damage to the light-transmitting cover 20.

[0031] In one embodiment, the protective cover 13 has a positioning protrusion 25 protruding from the middle of the inner wall in the axial direction of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10. The first buffer pad 21 is embedded in the positioning protrusion 25 and can be bonded to the positioning protrusion 25, thus increasing the bonding area and making it more secure. At the same time, the positioning protrusion 25 can press the light-transmitting cover 20 to prevent it from detaching.

[0032] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the support body 18 is provided with a first positioning groove 26 extending circumferentially therein. The inner wall of the light-transmitting cover 20 is sealed against the surface of the first positioning groove 26 in the radial direction of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10. A second buffer pad 22 is disposed between the surfaces of the light-transmitting cover 20 and the first positioning groove 26 in the axial direction of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10. Thus, the first positioning groove 26 can accommodate the light-transmitting cover 20 and the second buffer pad 22, and the first positioning groove 26 can play a positioning role. The second buffer pad 22 can be bonded to the surface of the first positioning groove 26 in the axial direction of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 by adhesive.

[0033] In one embodiment, the underwater UV lamp 10 further includes a fixed tailstock 27 and a first sealing structure 28, wherein the first sealing structure 28 can be a sealing ring. The fixed tailstock 27 can be made of plastic. A control circuit board 17 is connected to the fixed tailstock 27. One end of the control circuit board 17 is connected to the fixed tailstock 27, and the other end extends into the surrounding area of ​​the support body 18. In one embodiment, the underwater UV lamp 10 further includes an adapter 50, through which the control circuit board 17 is connected to the fixed tailstock 27.

[0034] The outer surface of the fixed tailstock 27 is provided with a second positioning groove 29 extending circumferentially therein. The support body 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixed tailstock 27, wherein the inner sidewall of the support body 18 is sealed against the surface of the second positioning groove 29 in the radial direction of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10. A first sealing structure 28 is disposed between the surfaces of the protective cover 13 and the second positioning groove 29 in the axial direction of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10, and the first sealing structure 28 forms a seal between the protective cover 13 and the second positioning groove 29. In this way, the sealing performance is better, so that the protective cover 13 can better protect the support structure 11, and the protective cover 13 can more effectively prevent water from contacting the support structure 11, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and service life of the support structure 11.

[0035] In one embodiment, the support body 18 is detachably fixed to the fixed tailstock 27 by screws. The inner side of the first outer cover 23 is recessed to form a receiving groove 30, and the head of the screw is received in the receiving groove 30. This prevents relative rotation between the support body 18 and the first outer cover 23, thereby ensuring better sealing performance of the first sealing structure 28. The screw can be a granulator screw.

[0036] In one embodiment, the underwater UV lamp 10 further includes a second sealing structure 31 disposed between the first outer cover 23 and the second outer cover 24, forming a seal between the two outer covers. This provides better sealing performance and more effectively prevents water from contacting the support structure 11.

[0037] At least one UV lamp plate 12 of the underwater UV lamp 10 of this application is disposed on the side wall of the support structure 11. The support structure 11 is made of thermally conductive metal, which ensures the pressure resistance of the underwater UV lamp 10 while effectively conducting the heat generated by at least one UV lamp plate 12, thus guaranteeing the heat dissipation performance of the underwater UV lamp 10 and making it suitable for deeper underwater environments. A protective cover 13 is fitted onto the outside of the support structure 11. The protective cover 13 is made of plastic, which protects the support structure 11 and prevents the metal support structure 11 from directly contacting the clamp, thereby preventing electrochemical corrosion of the support structure 11. At the same time, the protective cover 13 can form a seal through the first sealing structure 28 and the second sealing structure 31 to prevent the support structure 11 from contacting water, further improving corrosion resistance. Thus, the underwater UV lamp 10 has higher reliability and better durability, and improves the operational stability and safety in high-vibration, highly corrosive, and high-pressure seawater environments.

[0038] In one embodiment, the outer side of the fixed tailstock 27 is provided with a plurality of continuously arranged anti-slip grooves 32. The anti-slip grooves 32 are designed to facilitate the user's grip, so that the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 can be disassembled by hand without the use of additional tools, thereby preventing damage to the surface of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 during the disassembly of the underwater ultraviolet lamp 10 by tools.

[0039] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the control circuit board 17 includes a DC power input terminal 33, a ground terminal 34, a lamp board control circuit 47, and a controller 36. The lamp board control circuit 47 includes a dimming switch 35. Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the dimming switch 35 can be a MOSFET Q5. The UV lamp panel 12 and the dimming switch 35 are connected in series between the DC power input terminal 33 and the ground terminal 34. The controller 36 includes a pulse output port 37, which is connected to the dimming switch 35. The pulse output port 37 is used to output pulse signals to control the switching on or off of the dimming switch 35, thereby controlling the brightness and / or operating mode of the UV lamp panel 12. Specifically, the pulse output port 37 is used to output pulse signals with different duty cycles to control the UV lamp panel 12 to output different brightness levels. The operating modes of the UV lamp panel 12 include a constantly lit mode, a normally closed mode, and a cyclic switching mode.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the pulse signal output from the pulse output port 37 is low, the dimming switch 35 is turned off to turn off the ultraviolet lamp beads 14 of the ultraviolet lamp board 12. When the pulse signal output from the pulse output port 37 is high, the dimming switch 35 is turned on to turn on the ultraviolet lamp beads 14 of the ultraviolet lamp board 12. Different duty cycles of the pulse signal result in different proportions of high and low levels throughout the cycle, thus adjusting the brightness of the ultraviolet lamp board 12 by adjusting the duty cycle. The pulse signal can be a PWM signal with a frequency of 100Hz. The duty cycle is configured by the host computer via the RS485 communication interface. When the duty cycle of the pulse signal is 0%, it indicates that the ultraviolet lamp beads 14 of the ultraviolet lamp board 12 are off. When the duty cycle of the pulse signal is not 0%, it indicates that the ultraviolet lamp beads 14 of the ultraviolet lamp board 12 are on. The larger the duty cycle, the greater the current flowing through the ultraviolet lamp beads 14, and the brighter the ultraviolet lamp beads 14.

[0041] The brightness and / or operating mode of the ultraviolet lamp panel 12 can be controlled by the pulse signal output from the pulse output port 37. For example, when marine organisms are growing rapidly, the ultraviolet lamp panel 12 can be kept in a constant-on mode to continuously kill marine organisms. Alternatively, when the brightness of the ultraviolet lamp panel 12 is low, the brightness can be increased to better kill marine organisms. This setting can better prevent marine organisms from adhering to and growing on the surface of the equipment to be treated.

[0042] See Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the UV lamp board 12 includes a first UV lamp 15 and a second UV lamp 16 connected in parallel. The control circuit board 17 includes a lamp switching circuit 38. One end of the first UV lamp 15 and the second UV lamp 16 is connected to the DC power input terminal 33 through the lamp switching circuit 38. The other end of the first UV lamp 15 and the second UV lamp 16 is connected to the ground terminal 34 through a dimming switch 35.

[0043] The controller 36 also includes a switching signal output port 39, which is connected to the lamp switching circuit 38 and used to connect the first ultraviolet lamp 15 or the second ultraviolet lamp 16 to the DC power input terminal 33. Thus, the ultraviolet lamp 14 can be switched via the switching signal output from the switching signal output port 39, allowing switching from the first ultraviolet lamp 15 to the second ultraviolet lamp 16, or vice versa. Furthermore, it can switch to another ultraviolet lamp 14 if one ultraviolet lamp 14 fails, making the switching method simple. Simultaneously, after switching to the corresponding ultraviolet lamp 14, the brightness of that ultraviolet lamp 14 can be adjusted, effectively preventing the adhesion and growth of marine organisms on the surface of the device being treated.

[0044] In one embodiment, the LED switching circuit 38 includes a first switching switch 40, a second switching switch 41, and an inverting circuit 42. The first switching switch 40 is connected in series between the DC power input terminal 33 and the first UV LED 15. The second switching switch 41 is connected in series between the DC power input terminal 33 and the second UV LED 16. The switching signal output port 39 is connected to the control terminal of the first switching switch 40 and to the control terminal of the second switching switch 41 via the inverting circuit 42. Thus, the inverting circuit 42 can achieve a mutual exclusion relationship between the first UV LED 15 and the second UV LED 16, thereby improving safety.

[0045] See Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the LED switching circuit 38 further includes a switching sub-circuit 43, which includes a transistor Q1 connected between the DC power input terminal VCC and the ground terminal GND. The control terminal of transistor Q1 is connected to the switching signal output port 39. The inverting circuit 42 includes a MOSFET Q2, one end of which is connected to the DC power input terminal VCC and the second UV LED 16, and the other end is connected to the ground terminal GND. The control terminal of MOSFET Q2 is connected between the DC power input terminal VCC and the transistor Q1. This simplifies the implementation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first switching switch 40 is a MOSFET Q3, and the second switching switch 41 is a MOSFET Q4. MOSFET Q3 is connected in series between the DC power input terminal VCC and the first UV lamp 15, and the control terminal of MOSFET Q3 is connected between the DC power input terminal VCC and the transistor Q1. MOSFET Q4 is connected in series between the DC power input terminal VCC and the second UV lamp 16, and the control terminal of MOSFET Q4 is connected between the DC power input terminal VCC and one end of MOSFET Q2.

[0047] Thus, when the switching signal output port 39 outputs a high level, transistor Q1 is turned on, causing the control terminal of MOSFET Q3 to be at a low level. MOSFET Q3 is turned on, and the DC power supply supplies power to the first UV lamp 15 to light it up. At the same time, the control terminal of MOSFET Q2 is at a low level, so MOSFET Q2 is turned off. Consequently, the control terminal of MOSFET Q4 is at a high level, so MOSFET Q4 is turned off, and the DC power supply does not supply power to the second UV lamp 16.

[0048] When the switching signal output port 39 outputs a low level, transistor Q1 is turned off, causing the control terminal of MOSFET Q3 to be at a high level. MOSFET Q3 is turned off, and the DC power supply does not supply power to the first UV lamp 15. At the same time, the control terminal of MOSFET Q2 is at a high level, and MOSFET Q2 is turned on. This causes the control terminal of MOSFET Q4 to be at a low level, and MOSFET Q4 is turned on. The DC power supply then supplies power to the second UV lamp 16 to illuminate the second UV lamp 16.

[0049] In one embodiment, the switching sub-circuit 43 further includes a pull-up resistor R1 connected in series with transistor Q1. The lamp switching circuit 38 further includes a first pull-down resistor R2 connected between the DC power input terminal VCC and MOSFET Q2, a first damping resistor R3 connected to the control terminal of MOSFET Q3, and a second damping resistor R4 connected to the control terminal of MOSFET Q4.

[0050] See Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the lamp control circuit 47 further includes a sampling resistor R7, and the controller 36 further includes a first voltage detection port 46, which is connected between the dimming switch 35 and one end of the sampling resistor R7, and the other end of the sampling resistor R7 is connected to the ground terminal GND.

[0051] When the voltage detected by the first voltage detection port 46 of the controller 36 is lower than the first preset voltage value, the control switching signal output port 39 outputs a switching signal.

[0052] Thus, the current flowing through the UV lamp 14 can flow through the sampling resistor R7, generating a corresponding voltage across the sampling resistor R7. When the voltage detected by the first voltage detection port 46 of the controller 36 is lower than the first preset voltage value, it indicates that the UV lamp 14 is malfunctioning. The controller 36 can output a switching signal through the switching signal output port 39 to switch the UV lamp 14, thereby achieving timely switching of the UV lamp 14.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lamp control circuit 47 further includes a second pull-down resistor R8 connected between the pulse output port 37 and the ground terminal GND.

[0054] In one embodiment, the lamp control circuit 47 further includes a sample-and-hold resistor R9, which is connected between one end of the sampling resistor R7 and the first voltage detection port 46.

[0055] In one embodiment, the lamp board control circuit 47 further includes a sample holding capacitor C2, which is connected in parallel to the sampling resistor R7, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first voltage detection port 46 and the ground terminal GND.

[0056] See you again Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the control circuit board 17 further includes an irradiance detection circuit 44. The irradiance detection circuit 44 includes an ultraviolet light sensor 48 and a feedback resistor 49, and the controller 36 further includes a second voltage detection port 45. The ultraviolet light sensor 48 is a current-output C-band sensor. When the ultraviolet light sensor 48 receives C-band ultraviolet light, a current flows through it, and this current is converted into a voltage signal by the feedback resistor 49. The feedback resistor 49 and the ultraviolet light sensor 48 are connected in series between the DC power input terminal and the ground terminal. The second voltage detection port 45 is connected between the feedback resistor 49 and the ultraviolet light sensor 48.

[0057] When the voltage detected by the second voltage detection port 45 of the controller 36 is lower than the second preset voltage value, the control switching signal output port 39 outputs a switching signal.

[0058] In this way, the current irradiance of the ultraviolet lamp bead 14 can be determined by the irradiance intensity detection circuit 44. When the current irradiance of the ultraviolet lamp bead 14 is weak, the voltage detected by the second voltage detection port 45 is lower than the second preset voltage value. The controller 36 can output a switching signal through the control switching signal output port 39 to switch the ultraviolet lamp bead 14, thereby effectively preventing the growth of surface deposits on the equipment to be treated due to the weak irradiance of the ultraviolet lamp bead 14.

[0059] It should be understood that this application is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this application is limited only by the appended claims.
