Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sterilization products, specifically relating to an online cleaning component of an ultraviolet sterilization device. Background Technology
[0002] After prolonged use, ultraviolet sterilization devices accumulate a large amount of dirt and scale on the surface of the lamp tubes due to various impurities in the water, affecting the sterilization effect of ultraviolet lamp irradiation.
[0003] In the past, ultraviolet sterilization devices were designed with detachable flange end plates on the end face of the device shell for easy disassembly and cleaning. The surface of the lamp tube inside the shell could be cleaned by removing the flange end plate. However, such ultraviolet sterilization devices required to be shut down for disassembly and cleaning and could not be cleaned online while the ultraviolet sterilization lamp was working.
[0004] Currently, there are some UV sterilization devices on the market with online cleaning functions. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN117401769A discloses a self-cleaning UV sterilizer, and Chinese Patent No. CN105598106B discloses a cleaning mechanism for UV sterilization equipment. These devices clean the UV lamps online by setting a cleaning component inside the tube housing. However, due to the complex structure and numerous parts of such cleaning components, production and assembly are difficult. Often, the end face of the tube housing is designed as a detachable flange plate. The flange plate is removed, and the various components of the cleaning component are installed inside the tube housing from the end face to reduce the assembly difficulty. However, the detachable flange plate design of the sterilization device's tube housing end face has the problem of sealing failure. After long-term use, the UV sterilization device is prone to water leakage at the flange plate of the tube housing, and the structure of the flange plate also increases the processing and manufacturing cost of the tube housing. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of existing ultraviolet sterilization devices with cleaning functions described in the background art, this application provides an online cleaning component for an ultraviolet sterilization device, which has an online cleaning function. Its structure is simple and compact. By pushing and pulling the cleaning rod, the dirt on the lamp tube can be scraped off by the scraper, which is convenient to use. Moreover, there is no need to set a detachable flange end plate on the end face of the tube shell, so the cleaning-related components can be installed in the tube shell, and the assembly is also convenient and quick.
[0006] A disclosed online cleaning component for an ultraviolet sterilization device includes a housing, a lamp tube, a waterproof connector, a cleaning rod, and a scraper.
[0007] A lamp tube is installed inside the casing, and the lamp tube contains an ultraviolet germicidal lamp. A waterproof connector is connected to one end of the casing. One end of the cleaning rod passes through the waterproof connector and is placed inside the casing. The main body of the scraper is ring-shaped, and the ring of the scraper is fitted around the lamp tube. The handle of the scraper is installed on the cleaning rod and can move with the cleaning rod. In this way, the cleaning rod is pushed and pulled inside the casing, and the dirt on the lamp tube can be scraped off by the scraper. It is convenient to use, so that the ultraviolet germicidal device has an online cleaning function.
[0008] Preferably, two lamps are installed inside the tube housing, and the cleaning rod is located between the two lamps. It is equipped with four scrapers, with two scrapers corresponding to each lamp installed in the middle and end of the cleaning rod, respectively. This sterilization device has two built-in ultraviolet germicidal lamps, which improves the sterilization efficiency, and the cleaning function of two lamps can be achieved simultaneously through one cleaning rod.
[0009] Preferably, the specific installation structure of the lamp tube is as follows: Each of the two end faces of the tube shell is connected to an installation interface at a corresponding position of the lamp tube. Both ends of the lamp tube are placed within the corresponding installation interfaces, and corresponding limiting caps are threaded onto the installation interfaces. Thus, the lamp tube is positioned within the tube shell by the limiting caps, making installation convenient and allowing for easy disassembly and cleaning. A wire hole is provided on the limiting cap at one end of the tube shell for easy wiring of the ultraviolet lamp.
[0010] Preferably, a flushing connector is also connected to the side of the tube shell, and the dirt scraped off by the scraper on the lamp tube can be flushed out of the device from the flushing connector.
[0011] Preferably, the annular ring of the scraper has multiple through holes, through which steel wire is wound around the annular ring of the scraper. The contact friction between the steel wire and the lamp tube can further increase the cleaning ability of the scraper.
[0012] Preferably, a mushroom-shaped handle is fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning rod outside the casing, making it easier for users to grip and push the cleaning rod.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the online cleaning component of the ultraviolet sterilization device further includes an inlet connector and an outlet connector, which are respectively connected to the side of the tube housing. The scraper is configured with the following installation structure: the required cleaning rod has two annular grooves at the corresponding positions of the scraper, and the handle of the scraper has an installation hole. The scraper is fitted between the corresponding two annular grooves of the cleaning rod through the installation hole of its handle. An open retaining ring is fitted into the annular groove of the cleaning rod through its open groove. Each annular groove corresponds to an open retaining ring, so that the handle of the scraper can be limited by the corresponding two retaining rings, thus limiting its installation on the cleaning rod. This installation structure facilitates assembly. The diameter of the scraper annular ring is smaller than the diameter of the inlet connector and / or the outlet connector, so that during the assembly of the sterilization device, it is convenient to place the scraper into the tube housing from the inlet connector or the outlet connector of the tube housing.
[0014] The specific assembly method of the online cleaning component of the above-mentioned ultraviolet sterilization device is as follows:
[0015] S1. Place the scraper inside the pipe shell from the inlet or outlet joint;
[0016] S2. After passing one end of the cleaning rod through the waterproof connector, place it inside the tube housing. At the same time, the assembler adjusts the position of the scraper inside the tube housing from the inlet or outlet connector so that the end of the cleaning rod can pass through the mounting hole of the scraper handle and the scraper handle fits between the corresponding two annular grooves of the cleaning rod. The assembler then places the open retaining ring inside the tube housing from the inlet or outlet connector and clamps the open retaining ring into the corresponding annular groove of the cleaning rod through its open groove. Each annular groove corresponds to one open retaining ring. In this way, the scraper handle can be limited and installed on the cleaning rod by these two open retaining rings.
[0017] S3. Insert the lamp tube into the tube housing from the installation interface on one end face of the tube housing. At the same time, the assembler adjusts the position of the scraper inside the tube housing from the inlet or outlet connector so that the end of the lamp tube can pass through the ring of the scraper and the ring of the scraper fits onto the lamp tube. After the other end of the lamp tube is also placed in the installation interface on the other end face of the tube housing, tighten the upper limit caps on the installation interfaces at both ends of the lamp tube to limit the two ends of the lamp tube and complete the assembly of the lamp tube. In this way, the scraper can also fit onto the lamp tube.
[0018] Through the above technical solutions, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0019] The online cleaning component of the ultraviolet sterilization device described in this application has a simple and ingenious structure. By pushing and pulling the cleaning rod, the dirt on the lamp tube can be scraped off by the scraper, which is convenient to use and enables the ultraviolet sterilization device to have an online cleaning function.
[0020] In a further embodiment, the online cleaning component of the ultraviolet sterilization device of this application, compared with the existing sterilization devices with online cleaning function, does not require a detachable flange end plate on the end face of the tube shell to install the cleaning-related components inside the tube shell. The assembly is also convenient and quick, and the integrated tube shell has good sealing performance and low processing and manufacturing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0030] A water inlet connector 101 and a water outlet connector 102 are connected to the side of the tube shell 1. A lamp tube 2 is installed inside the tube shell 1, and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5 is built into the lamp tube 2. A waterproof connector 103 is connected to one end face of the tube shell 1. One end of the cleaning rod 3 passes through the waterproof connector 103 and is placed inside the tube shell 1. The main body of the scraper 4 is annular, and the annular ring 401 of the scraper 4 is fitted around the lamp tube 2. The handle 402 of the scraper 4 is installed on the cleaning rod 3 and can move with the cleaning rod 3. In this way, the cleaning rod 3 is pushed and pulled inside the tube shell 1, and the dirt on the lamp tube 2 can be scraped off by the scraper 4. It is convenient to use, so that the ultraviolet germicidal device has an online cleaning function.
[0031] refer to Figure 4 The tube shell 1 contains two lamp tubes 2. The cleaning rod 3 is located between the two lamp tubes 2 and has four scrapers 4. The two scrapers 4 corresponding to one lamp tube 2 are respectively installed in the middle and at the end of the cleaning rod 3. This sterilization device has two built-in ultraviolet germicidal lamps 5, which improves the sterilization efficiency. Moreover, the cleaning function of two lamp tubes 2 can be achieved simultaneously through one cleaning rod 3.
[0032] The specific installation structure of the above-mentioned lamp tube 2 is as follows: (Reference) Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two end faces of the tube shell 1 are respectively connected to the mounting interface 105 at the corresponding positions of the lamp tube 2. The two ends of the lamp tube 2 are respectively placed in the corresponding mounting interface 105. The corresponding limiting cap 6 is threaded onto the mounting interface 105. In this way, the two ends of the lamp tube 2 are limited in the corresponding mounting interface 105 by the limiting cap 6, and the lamp tube 2 can be limited and installed in the tube shell 1. In this way, the lamp tube 2 is easy to install and can also be disassembled and cleaned. A wire hole is opened on the limiting cap 6 at one end of the tube shell 1 to facilitate the setting of the wire of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 5.
[0033] The scraper 4 is installed according to the following installation method: (Refer to...) Figure 5 The required cleaning rod 3 has two annular grooves 302 at the corresponding positions of the scraper 4. The handle 402 of the scraper 4 has a mounting hole 403. The scraper 4 is fitted between the corresponding two annular grooves 302 of the cleaning rod 3 through the mounting hole 403 of its handle 402. An open retaining ring 7 is installed in the annular groove 302 of the cleaning rod 3 through its open groove. Each annular groove 302 corresponds to an open retaining ring 7. The handle 402 of the scraper 4 can be limited by the corresponding two open retaining rings 7, thus limiting its installation on the cleaning rod 3. This installation structure is easy to assemble.
[0034] The diameter of the annular ring 401 of the scraper 4 is smaller than the diameter of the inlet connector 101 and / or the outlet connector 102, so that the scraper 4 can be placed into the tube shell 1 from the inlet connector 101 or the outlet connector 102 when assembling the sterilization device.
[0035] In this specific embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The side of the tube shell 1 is also connected to a flushing connector 104, through which dirt scraped off by the scraper 4 on the lamp tube 2 can be flushed out of the device.
