[0008] The protective cover includes two sides and a top, and each side has a movable groove parallel to the horizontal plane above it.

[0009] The moving mechanism includes two first slide rails, two sliding frames, two connecting rods, and a second slide rail. The two first slide rails are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the protective cover. The sliding frames are installed inside the first slide rails. The tops of the two sliding frames are connected to the protective cover with connecting rods. The connecting rods pass through the moving grooves, and the second slide rail is connected between the two connecting rods. The second slide rail is equipped with a slider for connecting the sterilization mechanism, so that the sterilization mechanism can move smoothly in multiple directions within the protective cover to cover the area that needs to be sterilized.

[0010] The conveying mechanism is located below the sterilization mechanism and is used to smoothly transport the items to be processed into the sterilization area.

[0011] Preferably, one of the slide rails has a threaded rod inside, one end of which is connected to a drive motor. The bottom of the corresponding slide frame is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The drive motor drives the corresponding slide frame to move along the slide rail and drives the other slide frame to move synchronously, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the slide rail.

[0012] Preferably, the sterilization mechanism includes a sterilization lamp, a heat sink, and a power supply line. Several sets of heat sinks are arranged on both sides of the sterilization lamp, and a power supply line is arranged on the side of the sterilization lamp.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 4 The ultraviolet sterilization device shown includes a base 1 that provides stable support to ensure stability during operation and avoid affecting the sterilization effect due to vibration or movement. A protective cover 2, a sterilization mechanism 12, a moving mechanism, a conveying mechanism 14 and a control mechanism are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The control mechanism includes a power supply and a control panel for powering the device and controlling the operation of each structure.

[0029] The protective cover 2 includes two sides and a top, and each side has a movable groove 15 parallel to the horizontal plane above it.

[0030] The moving mechanism includes two first slide rails 3, two sliding frames 5, two connecting rods 6, and a second slide rail 7. The two first slide rails 3 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the protective cover 2, and the sliding frames 5 are installed inside the first slide rail 3. The top of the two sliding frames 5 is connected to the protective cover 2 with connecting rods 6. The connecting rods 6 are usually made of strong materials, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, to withstand the mechanical stress and weight between the connecting parts. The connecting rods 6 are located in the moving groove 15. The moving groove 15 is equipped with appropriate sealing measures to prevent dust and contaminants from entering the moving groove and reduce the maintenance frequency. The second slide rail 7 is connected between the two connecting rods 6, and the outer wall of the second slide rail 7 is equipped with a slider 8 for connecting the sterilization mechanism 12, so that the sterilization mechanism 12 can move smoothly in multiple directions within the protective cover 2 to achieve full coverage of the sterilization area.

[0031] The conveying mechanism 14 is located below the sterilization mechanism 12 and is used to smoothly transport the items to be processed into the sterilization area.

[0032] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, a threaded rod is provided inside one of the slide rails 3. One end of the threaded rod is connected to a drive motor 4. The bottom of the corresponding sliding frame 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The drive motor 4 drives the corresponding sliding frame 5 to move smoothly along a specific path, and drives the other sliding frame 5 to move synchronously. The slide rail 7 also moves synchronously. The slide rail 3 and the sliding frame 5 are made of high-strength, low-friction materials, such as stainless steel or specially treated metals, to reduce wear and maintain long-term stability and durability.

[0033] For example, see Figure 3As shown, the sterilization mechanism 12 includes a germicidal lamp 17, a heat sink 18, and a power supply line 19. Several sets of heat sinks 18 are arranged on both sides of the germicidal lamp 17, with each set of heat sinks 18 evenly distributed along the horizontal direction of the germicidal lamp 17. A power supply line 19 is located on the side of the germicidal lamp 17, and the power supply line 19 uses a waterproof and dustproof connector. The light intensity and wavelength of the germicidal lamp 17 are precisely designed to ensure effective killing of bacteria and viruses. UVC lamps are typically used because their wavelength is between 260-280 nanometers, providing excellent sterilization effects. The light distribution is comprehensive. The surface covers the area to be treated. By adjusting the position and angle of the sterilization mechanism 12, the range of ultraviolet irradiation can be precisely controlled to adapt to items of different sizes and shapes. Since the sterilization lamp 17 generates heat during operation, the heat sink 18 is used to prevent the equipment from overheating, maintain the normal operating temperature of the equipment, and extend its service life. Therefore, the heat sink 18 is usually made of a metal with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum or copper, which can effectively absorb and dissipate the heat generated by the sterilization lamp 17. The heat sink 18 usually has multiple fins or blades to increase the surface area in contact with the air and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, a connecting plate 9 is provided on one side of the slider 8, and a connecting groove 10 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 9 away from the slider 8. A power socket 11 is provided on one side of the connecting plate 9. A buckle 13 for docking with the connecting groove 10 is provided on the back of the germicidal lamp 17. The module can be connected and fixed by simple pressing or sliding operations, ensuring that the sterilization mechanism 12 remains stable after connection and preventing the device from falling off or shifting due to vibration or other external forces. The germicidal lamp 17 is connected to the power socket 11 through the power supply line 19. The power socket 11 provides power to the sterilization mechanism 12 to ensure its normal operation.

[0035] For example, a locking mechanism for fixing the position of slider 8 is provided at the connection between slider 8 and slide rail 7. The operator can adjust the position of slider 8 according to the nature and size of the items to be disinfected, and further adjust the germicidal lamp 17 to a suitable position. Then, the locking mechanism is used to fix slider 8 to prevent slider 8 from sliding left and right during the operation of the equipment and affecting the sterilization effect.

[0036] For example, see Figure 4As shown, the conveying mechanism 14 includes a transmission wheel 20, a support baffle 21, and a transmission belt 22. The transmission wheel 20 is a long roller and there are two sets of it. The two sets of transmission wheels 20 are arranged parallel to each other at both ends of the top of the base 1. The transmission belt 22 is provided on the outer wall of the transmission wheel 20. Support baffles 21 are provided on both sides of the transmission wheel 20 to support the transmission wheel 20 and prevent the transmission belt 22 from slipping. The transmission wheel 20 is made of wear-resistant and durable materials, such as high-performance plastics or metal alloys, to reduce wear and extend service life. The fixing plate 21 is made of sturdy and durable materials, such as stainless steel or high-strength alloys, to ensure long-term stable support. The transmission belt 22 is made of wear-resistant and anti-aging materials, such as polyurethane or reinforced plastics, to ensure that it does not deform after long-term use. Through the precise cooperation between the transmission wheel 20 and the transmission belt 22 and the reasonable layout design, the smooth transmission of items and efficient sterilization are ensured.

[0037] For example, the protective cover 2 is usually made of transparent or semi-transparent ultraviolet blocking material, such as specially treated plastic or glass, which not only effectively blocks ultraviolet rays but also allows visible light to pass through, making it easy to observe the internal situation. Lead curtains 16 are provided on both sides of the protective cover 2 along the transmission direction of the transmission belt 22. The main material of the lead curtains 16 is lead or lead-containing rubber, which has a good radiation protection effect and can effectively block ultraviolet radiation.

[0038] Furthermore, the protective cover 2 is designed with a safety interlock device. When the protective cover 2 is opened, the ultraviolet lamp, i.e. the germicidal lamp 17, will automatically turn off to ensure safety and prevent operators and the surrounding environment from being harmed by ultraviolet radiation.

[0039] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows: First, before use, the operator needs to perform a simple inspection and initialization of the equipment, including confirming the power connection, checking the initial state of the slide rails and transmission mechanism, etc., and then sending the items to be processed into the sterilization area through the conveyor mechanism 14. The sterilization mechanism 12 moves in multiple directions within the protective cover 2 through the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 7. The irradiation angle and position of the sterilization lamp 17 are adjusted according to the shape and position of the items. The ultraviolet light kills bacteria and viruses on the surface of the items. The time can be set according to different needs. When the sterilization task is completed, the equipment will automatically stop operating and issue a prompt signal. Then, the sterilization mechanism 12 is taken out for maintenance through the buckle 13, waiting for the next operation.

[0040] Obviously, the embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
