[0023] The following specific embodiments will further illustrate the utility model in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0024] The technical solutions provided by the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0025] See Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the principle of a germicidal lamp fault detection circuit of the utility model. The fault detection circuit is connected in series in the working circuit of the germicidal lamp and is used to output detection signals according to the working state of the germicidal lamp;

[0026] The fault detection circuit at least includes a detection unit and an output unit. Among them, the detection unit is used to generate a voltage division signal when the germicidal lamp is working normally, otherwise it does not generate a voltage division signal;

[0027] The output unit is used to output a detection signal according to the voltage division signal of the detection unit to indicate whether the germicidal lamp is faulty.

[0028] In the above technical solution, the detection unit uses multiple diodes connected in series to output a voltage division signal with a suitable voltage value. The working circuit of the germicidal lamp is powered by alternating current. When the germicidal lamp is working normally, a working current will be generated in the circuit. Multiple diodes connected in series in the detection unit generate voltage division. The voltage division of one diode is about 0.7V, and a suitable voltage division value is output by changing the number of diodes connected in series; when the germicidal lamp fails, there is no working current in the circuit, and the diodes do not generate voltage division.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the output unit uses a light-emitting diode. When the detection unit generates a voltage division signal, the light-emitting diode lights up, otherwise, the light-emitting diode does not light up.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the output unit uses an optocoupler. The input end of the optocoupler is connected to the voltage-dividing signal, and the output end of the optocoupler outputs the detection signal. Further, the detection unit uses 4 diodes connected in series to generate a voltage division of approximately 2.8V, thereby ensuring that the output voltage-dividing signal is sufficient to drive the optocoupler.

[0031] See Figure 2 , which shows the circuit schematic diagram of the fault detection circuit of the germicidal lamp of the present invention.

The second diode D2, the third diode D3, the fourth diode D4, and the fifth diode D5 are connected in series in sequence to generate a voltage-dividing signal. The first diode D1 is used to ensure the operation of the loop during the negative half cycle of the AC. In a preferred embodiment, the voltage-dividing signal is connected to the input end of the optocoupler. The optocoupler converts the signal through electro-optical conversion and outputs the detection signal, so that the subsequent single-chip microcomputer can obtain the detection signal. The single-chip microcomputer judges whether there is current in the germicidal lamp by detecting the level change of the signal output by the optocoupler, and then knows whether the germicidal lamp is still in a normal working state, improving the accuracy of the detection result. The specific circuit connection is as follows:

[0032] The AC input L terminal is connected to the negative electrode of the first diode D1, the positive electrode of the second diode D2, one end of the first resistor R1, and one end of the second resistor R2. The negative electrode of the second diode D2 is connected to the positive electrode of the third diode D3. The negative electrode of the third diode D3 is connected to the positive electrode of the fourth diode D4. The negative electrode of the fourth diode D4 is connected to the positive electrode of the fifth diode D5. The negative electrode of the fifth diode D5 is connected to the positive electrode of the first diode D1, the other end of the first resistor R1, one end of the first capacitor C1, and is connected to one end of the germicidal lamp power supply. The other end of the germicidal lamp power supply is connected to the AC input N terminal; the other end of the second resistor R2 is connected to the other end of the first capacitor C1, and the voltage-dividing signal is output at both ends of the first capacitor C1.

[0033] The present invention also discloses a germicidal lamp. A fault detection circuit is connected in series in the working circuit of the germicidal lamp. The fault detection circuit is used to output a detection signal according to the working state of the germicidal lamp to indicate whether the germicidal lamp is faulty;

[0034] The fault detection circuit at least includes a detection unit and an output unit. Among them, the detection unit is used to generate a voltage-dividing signal when the germicidal lamp is working normally, otherwise it does not generate a voltage-dividing signal;

[0035] The output unit is used to output a detection signal according to the voltage-dividing signal of the detection unit to indicate whether the germicidal lamp is faulty.

[0036] Further, the detection unit uses multiple diodes connected in series to output a voltage-dividing signal with a suitable voltage value.

[0037] Further, the output unit uses a light-emitting diode. When the detection unit generates a voltage-dividing signal, the light-emitting diode lights up; otherwise, the light-emitting diode does not light up.

[0038] Further, the output unit uses an optocoupler. The input end of the optocoupler is connected to the voltage-dividing signal, and the output end of the optocoupler outputs a detection signal.

The diode voltage drops are relatively consistent, less affected by the current of the sterilization lamp, and also have less impact on the working voltage of the sterilization lamp.

[0043] (4) Real-time response: The circuit structure is simple, the response speed is fast, and it can monitor the working state of the sterilization lamp in real time.

[0044] (5) High reliability: It uses mature electronic components, is reasonably designed, works stably and reliably, and is applicable to the working state detection of various ultraviolet sterilization lamps.
