The inner quartz sleeve 13, the outer quartz sleeve 12, and the outer cylinder 11 are sleeved in sequence from the inside to the outside along the longitudinal direction. The bottom of the outer cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner quartz sleeve 13; a U-shaped cavity 14 is respectively formed between the inner wall of the outer cylinder 11 and the outer wall of the outer quartz sleeve 12, and between the inner wall of the outer quartz sleeve 12 and the outer wall of the inner quartz sleeve 13;
[0027] A diversion valve body 21, a liquid inlet 22, and a liquid outlet 23, wherein the liquid inlet 22 and the liquid outlet 23 are respectively arranged radially on the diversion valve body 21; the top of the outer cylinder 11 is detachably connected to the diversion valve body 21, and the liquid inlet 22, the cavity 14, and the liquid outlet 23 are sequentially communicated for liquid to flow through.
[0028] The structures of the liquid inlet 22 and the liquid outlet 23 of the present utility model are the same as those of the water inlet and outlet of a common filter, which is convenient for direct installation and use without the need to configure installation connection joints; the central axes of the liquid inlet 22 and the liquid outlet 23 are close to each other and horizontally arranged, which is convenient for connecting with the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.
[0029] In addition, since both the inner quartz sleeve and the outer quartz sleeve are made of materials with very high ultraviolet transmittance, the liquid flow channels of the water inlet and the water outlet are not linearly conducted, but U-shaped spiral flow; when the liquid flows through the outer layer and the inner layer of the working cavity 14, it can receive the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 15 and thus be sterilized; in this way, compared with a conventional sterilizer, a longer sterilization time and a larger sterilization range can be obtained, the liquid sterilization path range is wide, and a better sterilization effect is achieved.
[0030] Further, the liquid inlet 22 and the liquid outlet 23 are arranged on the same axis in the horizontal direction, the liquid inlet 22 is communicated with the outer top of the U-shaped of the cavity 14, and the liquid outlet 23 is communicated with the inner top of the U-shaped of the cavity 14. Specifically, the liquid inlet channel 24 at the connection between the liquid inlet 22 and the cavity 14 and the liquid outlet channel 25 at the connection between the liquid outlet 23 and the cavity 14 are respectively L-shaped; the outer cylinder 11, the outer quartz sleeve 12, the upper bracket 31, and the inner quartz sleeve 13 are respectively coaxially arranged; an ultraviolet lamp 15 is arranged inside the inner quartz sleeve 13.

The external thread of the diversion valve body 21 and the turned-out edge of the outer cylinder 11 are connected and fixed by an annular nut 34, and sealed by two-stage outer sealing rings at the connection contact surface.
[0032] In this preferred embodiment, an upper bracket 31 is arranged at the center hole at the bottom of the diversion valve body 21 and the top of the inner quartz sleeve, and the top of the upper bracket 31 is located at the connection between the cavity 14 and the liquid outlet 23.
[0033] Further, the upper bracket 31 is constructed of thin stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1 - 1.5 mm, allowing liquid to pass through without causing much resistance to the liquid; its longitudinal section is convex-shaped, and the semi-circular head at the top of the inner quartz sleeve 13 abuts against the hemispherical arc position of the upper bracket 31; a circular groove is recessed at the top of the outer ring surface of the upper bracket 31, which matches the annular protrusion in the middle of the bottom of the flow guiding valve body 21; the top of the upper bracket 31 is fitted and clamped with the central inner hole of the flow guiding valve body 21. The above upper bracket 31 can not only position the closed end of the inner quartz sleeve 13, but also has no influence on the flow of the working liquid.
[0034] Further, a sealing connection is made between the outer periphery of the top of the upper bracket 31, the top of the outer quartz sleeve 12, and the outer periphery of the bottom of the flow guiding valve body 21 through an inner sealing ring 32. Specifically, a ring groove is recessed upward in the middle of the bottom of the flow guiding valve body 21, which is convenient for better sealing and fixing the outer quartz sleeve 12; the longitudinal section of the inner sealing ring 32 is in a shape like the Chinese character 'yu', and the top end of the inner sealing ring 32 is snapped into the ring groove of the flow guiding valve body 21; the upper part of the outer quartz sleeve 12 and the groove position outside the water outlet hole of the flow guiding valve body 21 cooperate through the inner sealing ring 32 (T-shaped rubber ring) to form a sealing and fixing structure.
[0035] In this preferred embodiment, a lower bracket 33 is provided between the inner bottom of the outer cylinder 11 and the bottom of the outer quartz sleeve 12, and the lower bracket 33 is located at the U-shaped bottom turning of the cavity 14.
[0036] Specifically, the lower bracket 33 is also constructed of thin stainless steel wire with a diameter of 1 - 1.5 mm, allowing liquid to pass through without causing much resistance to the liquid; the inner diameter of the round hole in the middle of the bottom of the lower bracket 33 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the inner quartz sleeve 13, allowing the inner quartz sleeve 13 to pass through it, and providing radial positioning for the lower wire bracket; four hook-shaped structures are arranged inside the upper part of the lower bracket 33, just supporting the bottom circumference of the outer quartz sleeve 12, providing axial and radial positioning for the outer quartz sleeve 12; the lower wire bracket also does not hinder the flow of the working liquid.
[0037] In this preferred embodiment, a ballast 41 is provided at the top of the flow guiding valve body 21, and the bottom of the inner quartz sleeve 13 is electrically connected to the input end of the ballast 41 through an input cable 42; a sealing nut 43 and a cable lock head 44 are sequentially arranged on the outer periphery of the bottom of the inner quartz sleeve 13.
[0038] Specifically, the ballast 41 is mounted on the top of the diversion valve body 21 through a bracket. The bracket of the ballast 41 integrates the ballast 41 and the sterilizer into one, eliminating the need to find a separate installation position for the ballast 41. An ultraviolet viewing window 45 is provided at the connection between the outer periphery of the bottom of the ballast 41 and the diversion valve body 21, facilitating the inspection of the working condition of the ultraviolet sterilizer and timely problem detection. A circular protrusion is vertically provided downward at the lower middle part of the outer cylinder 11. An external thread is provided on the outer ring surface of the circular protrusion, and the external thread of the circular protrusion is connected to the sealing nut 43. The sleeve sealing nut 43 is sealed with the inner quartz sleeve 13 and the outer cylinder 11 of the housing through a matching O-ring. The inner ring surface of the sleeve sealing nut 43 is fixedly connected to the cable gland 44 by means of a threaded connection to connect the lamp input cable 42. The lamp input cable 42 is used to connect the ballast 41 and the ultraviolet lamp 15, providing electrical energy for the operation of the ultraviolet lamp 15.
[0039] In this embodiment, the diameter of the lower part of the outer cylinder 11 of the sterilizer housing gradually decreases; the diameter of the outer quartz sleeve 12 is larger than that of the inner quartz sleeve 13 and is sleeved outside the inner quartz sleeve 13. The top of the inner quartz sleeve 13 is a semi-circular head closed structure and the bottom is open, and the lamp input cable 42 can enter through this opening. The cable is connected to the single-end ultraviolet lamp 15 through a lamp holder. The ultraviolet lamp 15 is placed inside the inner quartz sleeve to prevent it from contacting the liquid. A sterilizer hanging bracket 46 is also provided at the top of the diversion valve body 21. When the sterilizer hanging bracket 46 is used to connect the sterilizer in a hose manner, it is used to install and fix the sterilizer; or the sterilizer hanging bracket 46 is not used, and the sterilizer is directly fixedly installed in a hard pipe connection manner.
[0040] When the above sterilizer is in use, its water inlet can be directly connected to the pipeline to be treated, and then the output pipeline can be continuously connected to its water outlet. There is no need to first find an installation position for the sterilizer like a conventional sterilizer, and then configure accessories such as elbows according to the installation position of the sterilizer to connect the corresponding pipelines; and the ballast 41 also needs to be installed separately, greatly reducing the installation workload and the space occupied by the installation.
[0041] The basic working principle of the present utility model is:
[0042] First, after the liquid flows in through the water inlet of the sterilizer of the present invention, it enters the outer space of the working chamber 14 formed between the outer cylinder 11 of the sterilizer housing and the outer wall of the outer quartz sleeve 12 through the water inlet hole (liquid inlet channel 24) on the flow guiding valve body 21, and flows downward under the push of the water pressure in this area. Then, after the liquid reaches the lower part of the chamber 14, since the lower bracket 33 allows the water flow to pass through; the liquid continues to flow upward through the inner space of the working chamber 14 formed between the inner wall of the outer quartz sleeve 12 and the outer wall of the inner quartz sleeve 13. Finally, it reaches the water outlet of the flow guiding valve body 21 through the upper bracket 31 and the water outlet hole (liquid outlet channel 25) of the flow guiding valve body 21; thus, the entire flow process of the liquid in the sterilizer is completed.
[0043] With this new structure, the upper bracket 31, the lower bracket 33, various sealing rings, and the lamp tube are convenient to replace; components such as the inner quartz sleeve 13, the outer quartz sleeve 12, and the cylinder of the sterilizer can be easily disassembled and cleaned, which is more beneficial to ensuring the long-term and efficient operation of the sterilizer.
[0044] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification only illustrate the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
