Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen and bathroom technology, and in particular to a sterilization tube. Background Technology
[0002] To improve water quality, many water-using devices are equipped with sterilization tubes, which use UVC-LED lamps to irradiate and sterilize the flowing water. Sterilization lamps typically consist of a water pipe, connector, mounting bracket, and outer casing. Existing sterilization lamps suffer from the following problems: 1. Some sterilization lamps have overly simple assembly structures, resulting in loose internal components, large product size, and insecure assembly, making them prone to loosening and shaking; 2. Some sterilization lamps employ complex assembly structures to improve assembly stability, which, while resulting in a sturdy product, are cumbersome or difficult to assemble. Therefore, this utility model provides a new sterilization tube structure that combines a simple assembly structure with a compact assembly effect, solving the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a germicidal lamp structure that is simple in structure, easy to assemble, and compact in assembly.
[0004] A sterilization tube includes a sterilization body and an outer shell, wherein,
[0005] The sterilization body includes a support, a transparent tube, a connector, and a lamp panel with a sterilization lamp.
[0006] The bracket is columnar, with an axial mounting cavity inside, insertion slots on both sides, and mounting positions on the outer periphery. The mounting positions have clearance openings that connect to the mounting cavity.
[0007] The transparent tube is installed in the mounting cavity of the bracket, and its end extends into the insertion slot.
[0008] There are two connectors, each inserted into one of the two insertion slots, and they mate and communicate with the end of the transparent tube. The bracket is provided with an axial limiting member to prevent the connectors from exiting the insertion slots, thereby improving the assembly firmness of the bracket, transparent tube, and connectors.
[0009] The lamp panel is installed on the mounting position of the bracket, and the germicidal lamp passes through the clearance opening and irradiates the transparent tube, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting the water flowing through the transparent tube.
[0010] One end of the outer shell has a constricted opening, and the other end has an installation opening with an annular cap. The sterilization body is inserted into the outer shell through the installation opening, and the connector at one end protrudes from the constricted opening. The annular cap is fitted around the outer periphery of the connector at the other end, confining the sterilization body within the outer shell.
[0011] The germicidal lamp provided by this utility model consists of a germicidal body and a shell. The germicidal body has a simple and compact assembly structure, and the assembly structure between the germicidal body and the shell is also very simple. Thus, the germicidal lamp is compactly assembled as a whole and easy to assemble.
[0012] Preferably, to provide a convenient and simple limiting structure, the axial limiting component is a U-shaped clamp, the bracket has limiting notches on both sides of the outer periphery of the insertion groove, the connector has an annular limiting groove corresponding to the limiting notches, and the U-shaped clamp is opened and clamped in the two limiting notches and the annular limiting groove, thereby locking the connector in the insertion groove.
[0013] Preferably, the bracket has an annular groove at the limiting notch, and the U-shaped clip is housed in the annular groove, which can prevent the U-shaped clip from protruding from the outer periphery of the bracket. At the same time, the annular groove can also limit the U-shaped clip from swinging left and right and losing its limiting effect.
[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the internal channel of the housing is equal to the outer diameter of the bracket, and the middle part of the U-shaped clip and the side facing away from the two clamping ends are close to or fit against the inner wall of the housing, which can prevent the U-shaped clip from exiting the limiting notch and the annular limiting groove, and improve the reliability of the limiting structure.
[0015] Preferably, to improve the sterilization and disinfection effect, there are at least two sets of mounting positions and lamp panels, which are distributed around the bracket.
[0016] Preferably, the germicidal lamps of adjacent lamp panels are staggered axially, and the clearance openings are also staggered accordingly, thereby forming a longer sterilization and disinfection path, extending the time the water is irradiated, and enhancing the sterilization and disinfection effect.
[0017] Preferably, the lamp panel has two germicidal lamps and four lamp panels. In addition, the outer periphery of the bracket is provided with an axial wire groove, which connects the mounting position and the outside of the germicidal tube, allowing the wires of the lamp panel to extend from the end of the germicidal tube.
[0018] Preferably, to improve the assembly firmness of the lamp panel, the lamp panel is provided with positioning holes, the mounting position is provided with positioning posts, the lamp panel is installed in the mounting position, the positioning posts are inserted into the positioning holes, and the transparent tube is a quartz tube.
[0019] Preferably, the sterilization body further includes a PTFE reflective film, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the transparent tube and has an opening corresponding to the relief opening, so that the irradiation light of the sterilization lamp can be repeatedly irradiated inside the transparent tube, thereby enhancing the sterilization and disinfection effect.
[0020] Preferably, the annular cap is threaded onto the end of the outer shell, the outer shell is made of metal or plastic, and the connector is a three-way quick connector.
[0021] As can be seen from the above description of this utility model, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] The germicidal lamp provided by this utility model consists of a germicidal body and a shell. The germicidal body has a simple and compact assembly structure, and the assembly structure between the germicidal body and the shell is also very simple. Thus, the germicidal lamp is compactly assembled as a whole and easy to assemble.
[0023] The axial limiting component is a U-shaped clip, which is used in conjunction with the limiting notch and the annular limiting groove, thereby providing a convenient and simple joint limiting structure;
[0024] The U-shaped clip is housed in the annular groove on the outer periphery of the bracket, which can prevent the U-shaped clip from protruding from the outer periphery of the bracket. At the same time, the annular groove can also limit the left and right swing of the U-shaped clip and prevent it from losing its restraining effect.
[0025] The U-shaped clip is held in place or limited by the inner wall of the outer shell, which can prevent the U-shaped clip from exiting the limiting notch and the annular limiting groove, thereby improving the reliability of the limiting structure.
[0026] By adopting a layout in which the germicidal lamps of adjacent lamp panels are staggered in the axial direction, a longer sterilization and disinfection path can be formed, extending the time the water is irradiated and enhancing the sterilization and disinfection effect.
[0027] The use of PTFE reflective film can enhance the sterilization and disinfection effect. Attached Figure Description
