[0034] In the related technology, the sterilization module includes a lampshade module and a sterilization module. The lampshade module includes a fixing ring, a transparent outer cover, a bottom cover, a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring. The fixing ring is sleeved on the outer side of the outer cover, and the bottom cover is arranged at the lower end between the fixing ring and the outer cover. The first sealing ring is fixedly arranged between the fixing ring and the outer cover, and the second sealing ring is located on the outer side of the fixing ring. The sterilization module includes a UV lamp and a fixing seat. The UV lamp is fixedly arranged on the fixing seat, and the UV lamp extends into the interior of the outer cover; the above-mentioned sterilization module can be installed separately through the lampshade module and the sterilization module. The above-mentioned sterilization module has more installation components as a whole and is more complicated in structure, resulting in poor installation convenience.

[0035] In order to solve the above problems. Figure 1-Figure 2 This embodiment provides a new sterilization module, which can be installed in the water tank 7 of the drinking water device to sterilize the water in the water tank 7 to ensure the health of the water quality. The sterilization module includes a mounting wall 1, a sterilization lamp 2 and a light-transmitting cover 3, wherein:

[0036] An outwardly protruding annular wall 101 is provided on the top of the installation wall body 1 . The annular wall 101 and the installation wall body 1 form an integrated structure. An installation space 102 is provided inside the annular wall 101 .

[0037] The germicidal lamp 2 can be a UV lamp, which is installed inside the annular wall 101, that is, the germicidal lamp 2 is installed inside the installation space 102. When the germicidal lamp 2 is started, it can sterilize the water to ensure the health of the water quality.

[0038] The light shield 3 is open at one end and closed at the other, sealing the germicidal lamp 2 and preventing it from entering water. The light shield 3 can be made of glass or plastic, which provides excellent light transmission. Furthermore, to enhance the divergence of the UV light beam emitted by the germicidal lamp 2, a diffuser can be installed within the light shield 3 to diffuse the beam.

[0039] The light-transmitting cover 3 can be arranged to cover the top of the germicidal lamp 2. To ensure the sealing effect of the light-transmitting cover 3, the light-transmitting cover 3 can be sealed and installed on the annular wall 101 through a sealing ring 4 (which can be a silicone ring). That is, the light-transmitting cover 3 can be arranged inside the annular wall 101 (the bottom of the light-transmitting cover 3 is installed inside the installation space 102). In this case, the diameter of the bottom opening of the light-transmitting cover 3 is smaller than the diameter of the annular wall 101, and the sealing ring 4 is arranged between the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 3 and the inner wall of the annular wall 101. The sealing ring 4 can be sleeved onto the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover 3. In this case, the outer wall of the sealing ring 4 abuts the inner wall of the annular wall 101, so that the light-transmitting cover 3 can be sealed and installed inside the installation space 102 through the sealing ring 4. At this time, the germicidal lamp 2 can be located inside the light-transmitting cover 3, that is, the light-transmitting cover 3 can cover and seal the germicidal lamp 2, preventing the germicidal lamp 2 from wading in water.

[0040] In order to improve the sealing effect of the connection between the above-mentioned sealing ring 4 and the light-transmitting cover 3, an outwardly protruding bearing portion 401 is provided on the wall at the bottom of the inner circle of the sealing ring 4, that is, the inner wall of the sealing ring 4 is protrudingly provided with a bearing portion 401 and the bearing portion 401 is arranged close to the bottom end surface of the sealing ring 4, the open end of the light-transmitting cover 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the sealing ring 4 and the open end wall of the light-transmitting cover 3 is abutted against the bearing portion 401, that is, the end surface of the open end of the light-transmitting cover 3 is abutted against the top surface of the bearing portion 401. Such an arrangement can also minimize the light-transmitting cover 3 from separating from the annular wall 101 toward the outside of the water tank body 7.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the sterilization module is installed and used, the sterilization lamp 2 can be installed in the installation space 102 first, and then the open end of the light-transmitting cover 3 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the sealing ring 4, so that the sealing ring 4 is sealed and installed on the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 3. Finally, the light-transmitting cover 3 and the sealing ring 4 on the light-transmitting cover 3 are inserted as a whole into the installation space 102, thereby realizing the installation and use of the sterilization module. Compared with the existing sterilization module, it has fewer overall components, and the connection and installation between components are relatively simple, which greatly improves the convenience of installation.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, Figure 3 The figure shows a second mounting structure for mounting the light shield 3 on the annular wall 101. In this case, the diameter of the bottom opening of the light shield 3 is larger than the diameter of the annular wall 101, and the light shield 3 can be sleeved outside the annular wall 101. In this case, the sealing ring 4 is disposed between the outer wall of the annular wall 101 and the inner wall of the light shield 3. Specifically, the sealing ring 4 can be sleeved onto the outer wall of the annular wall 101, and the outer wall of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the inner wall of the light shield 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting cover 3 is covered and sleeved on the top of the annular wall 101, and then the light-transmitting cover 3 can be sealed and covered on the annular wall 101 through the sealing effect of the sealing ring 4, thereby avoiding the sterilizing lamp 2 in the installation space 102 from being exposed to water, and the installation of the overall components is also more convenient.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, Figure 4 The figure shows a third mounting structure for mounting the light shield 3 on the annular wall 101. An annular groove 5 is defined in the annular wall 101, and the open end of the light shield 3 is sealed within the annular groove 5 via a sealing ring 4. In this case, the diameter of the bottom opening of the light shield 3 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the annular wall 101. The light shield 3 is positioned within the annular groove 5, and the sealing ring 4 can be positioned between the inner wall of the annular groove 5 and the inner wall of the light shield 3. Specifically, the sealing ring 4 is sleeved onto the inner side surface of the light shield 3, with the inner wall of the sealing ring 4 abutting the inner wall of the annular groove 5. In this embodiment, through the mutual cooperation of the annular groove 5, the light-transmitting cover 3 and the sealing ring 4, the sealing ring 4 can be sleeved onto the inner wall of the bottom end of the light-transmitting cover 3, and then the bottom end of the light-transmitting cover 3 can be inserted into the interior of the annular groove 5. At this time, the inner wall of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the inner wall of the annular groove 5, thereby achieving the purpose of sealing the light-transmitting cover 3 to the annular wall 101, avoiding the situation where the sterilization lamp 2 in the installation space 102 is waded by water, and the installation of the overall components is also more convenient, and the setting of the annular groove 5 can increase the installation stability of the light-transmitting cover 3.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing ring 4 can also be arranged between the inner wall of the annular groove 5 and the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 3. This situation is not shown in the figure. Specifically, the sealing ring 4 is sleeved onto the outer surface of the light-transmitting cover 3, and the inner wall of the sealing ring 4 abuts against the inner wall of the annular groove 5. In a possible embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the sealing performance of the sealing ring 4, a convex ring 402 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing ring 4, or a convex ring 402 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing ring 4, or a convex ring 402 is provided on both the inner wall and the outer wall of the sealing ring 4; the number of the convex rings 402 can be several, and the convex rings 402 are arranged at intervals on the wall of the sealing ring 4, so as to further improve the sealing effect, reduce the force required for installing the sealing ring 4, and increase the convenience of installation.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, regarding the specific structure of the germicidal lamp 2 being mounted to the annular wall 101, a through-hole 6 may be formed on the inner bottom end of the annular wall 101, which communicates with the mounting space 102. That is, the mounting wall 1 is provided with a through-hole 6 located on the inner side of the annular wall 101, and the germicidal lamp 2 may pass through the through-hole 6 and be mounted within the light-transmitting cover 3. Alternatively, the light-emitting end of the germicidal lamp 2 may pass through the through-hole 6, and only the light-emitting end of the germicidal lamp 2 may be mounted within the light-transmitting cover 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the light-transmitting cover 3 is sealed and covered on the annular wall 101, the germicidal lamp 2 is conveniently installed inside the light-transmitting cover 3 through the cooperation of the perforation 6 and the germicidal lamp 2. In addition, this structure also facilitates the external connection circuit of the germicidal lamp 2 for power supply.

[0048] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also provides a water storage tank in an embodiment, comprising a water tank body 7 and the aforementioned sterilization module. The mounting wall 1 of the sterilization module is the inner wall of the water tank body 7 (e.g., the inner bottom wall of the water tank body 7). The sterilization module sterilizes the water in the water tank body 7, ensuring healthy water quality. Furthermore, the components of the sterilization module are simple in structure, easy to install, and convenient to use. The water storage tank can hold filtered water, as well as pre-filtered or unfiltered water.
