[0032] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 The ultraviolet lamp detection device 100 and lamp detection system provided in the embodiments of this utility model can solve the above problems, and will be described in detail below.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] An embodiment of this utility model provides an ultraviolet lamp detection device 100, which includes an upper housing 110 and a detection element 120. The upper housing 110 has a first wiring hole 115 and is used to cover the ultraviolet lamp to form a dark cavity. The first wiring hole 115 is used to accommodate the wire bundle connected to the ultraviolet lamp. The detection element 120 is housed inside the upper housing 110 and is used to output an expression of the ultraviolet radiation intensity of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0036] During the testing process, the upper housing 110 can be placed over the ultraviolet lamp to provide a dark environment, and the wiring harness connected to the ultraviolet lamp can be housed through the first wiring hole 115 to provide energy to the ultraviolet lamp for emitting light. The testing component 120 is used to acquire and output the intensity of ultraviolet radiation generated by the ultraviolet lamp, thereby realizing the testing of the ultraviolet radiation intensity of the ultraviolet lamp. This facilitates the timely replacement of ultraviolet lamps with insufficient radiation intensity, fully ensuring the disinfection effect and avoiding negative impacts on the disinfection operation.

[0037] It should be noted that the dark cavity refers to a completely dark environment without any light. However, due to limitations in practical conditions and the machining precision of each component, a trace amount of light still enters the dark cavity during actual operation. However, the interference caused by this light in the ultraviolet radiation intensity detection is negligible. During the detection process, by isolating other light sources, the accuracy of the detection component 120 in detecting the ultraviolet radiation intensity can be improved as much as possible. Furthermore, the detection component 120 is specifically an ultraviolet light sensor.

[0038] It is worth noting that during the testing process, there may be situations where the ultraviolet lamp is placed directly on the bottom surface or the workbench. In order to avoid light leakage gaps when the side walls of the upper box 110 are covered on the bottom surface or the workbench, the four sides of the upper box 110 can be flush.

[0039] Meanwhile, in order to further improve the light-blocking effect, a sealing pad can be installed on the end face of the side wall of the upper box 110. When the upper box 110 is in the closed state, the upper box 110 will press the sealing pad tightly under its own weight, thereby blocking light and forming a dark cavity. By adding the sealing pad, it is convenient for the upper box 110 to be placed on a bottom surface or workbench that is not completely flat.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 In order to ensure the relative position of the test piece 120 is stable and to avoid deviation in the detection of ultraviolet radiation intensity due to position changes during the test operation, the test piece 120 can be set on the inner side wall of the upper box 110, thereby ensuring the relative position stability of the test piece 120, the upper box 110 and the ultraviolet lamp.

[0041] In this embodiment, the detection element 120 is bonded to the inner wall of the upper box 110; of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the detection element 120 can be welded to the inner wall of the upper box 110, or the detection element 120 can be connected to the inner wall of the upper box 110 by a snap or thread. The specific connection method between the detection element 120 and the upper box 110 is not limited.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 The upper housing 110 has a first end 111 and a second end 112 that are disposed opposite to each other. A first wiring hole 115 is opened at the first end 111. The detection element 120 is disposed closer to the second end 112 than the first end 111. By displacing the detection element 120 away from the first wiring hole 115, it is possible to avoid the negative impact on the detection operation of the detection element 120 when there is a gap between the first wiring hole 115 and the wire harness, which would cause some light to enter the dark cavity through the first wiring hole 115.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1To further improve detection accuracy, the UV lamp detection device 100 may also include a lower housing 130, which is used to house the UV lamp, and an upper housing 110 is used to cover the lower housing 130 and form a dark cavity.

[0044] During the testing process, the lower housing 130 can support and carry the ultraviolet lamp tube, and the upper housing 110, by covering the lower housing 130, forms a dark cavity with better sealing, further reducing the negative impact of external light on the testing process.

[0045] In this embodiment, the external dimensions of the upper box 110 are larger than those of the lower box 130, so that the side wall of the upper box 110 is located outside the side wall of the lower box 130 when closed. That is, during the detection process, the side wall of the lower box 130 and the side wall of the upper box 110 are intersecting. If light is to enter the dark cavity between them, it will first pass under the side wall of the upper box 110, then move upward, and then pass under the side wall of the lower box 130, thereby further improving the effect of blocking external light.

[0046] It is worth noting that when the upper box 110 covers the outside of the lower box 130, in order to avoid negatively affecting the detection effect of the detection element 120, the detection element 120 can be located on the inner wall of the top of the inner cavity of the upper box 110.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 To avoid interference or obstruction to the wiring harness, the lower housing 130 is provided with a second wiring hole 135. The second wiring hole 135 is connected to the first wiring hole 115 and is used to accommodate the wiring harness. That is, during the testing operation, the wiring harness connecting the ultraviolet lamp tube will first pass through the first wiring hole 115 and then through the second wiring hole 135 before entering the dark cavity.

[0048] Furthermore, this allows the outer diameter of the wire harness to match the inner diameter of the first wiring hole 115 and the second wiring hole 135, thereby preventing light from entering the dark cavity from the inside of the wiring hole.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the first wiring hole 115 and the second wiring hole 135 are both circular; of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the cross-sections of the two wiring holes can be triangular, rectangular, fan-shaped or other shapes, and there is no limitation on their specific shapes.

[0050] In addition, when a visible gap inevitably appears between the inner wall of the wiring hole and the outer wall of the wire harness, the visible gap can be sealed by filling it with a flexible material.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1In order to stabilize the relative position of the ultraviolet lamp tube within the lower housing 130, two limiting blocks 132 are provided at each end of the lower housing 130. The ultraviolet lamp tube is accommodated between the two limiting blocks 132. The limiting blocks 132 ensure that there is a sufficient distance between the end of the ultraviolet lamp tube and the end of the lower housing 130, thereby preventing the ultraviolet lamp tube from moving too much along the extension direction of the lower housing 130 within the lower housing 130 and causing collision damage.

[0052] Similarly, in order to make the position of the detection element 120 match the position of the ultraviolet lamp, the detection element 120 can also be located between the two limiting blocks 132, thereby avoiding the detection accuracy of radiation intensity due to the position of the detection element 120 being too off-center.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to improve the relative stability of the ultraviolet lamp tube in the width direction of the lower housing 130, a positioning groove 133 can be formed on at least one limiting block 132, the positioning groove 133 being used to accommodate the end of the ultraviolet lamp tube.

[0054] In this embodiment, positioning grooves 133 are formed on the sides of the two limiting blocks 132 that are close to each other. The positioning grooves 133 have an arc-shaped opening and a groove-like structure to facilitate the accommodation of the end of the ultraviolet lamp tube. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the positioning groove 133 may be formed on only one of the limiting blocks 132. The limiting block 132 may be the limiting block 132 that is relatively close to the first end 111, or it may be the limiting block 132 that is relatively close to the second end 112.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] An embodiment of this utility model also provides a lamp detection system, which includes a display and an ultraviolet lamp detection device 100; wherein, the display is located outside the dark cavity and communicates with the detection element 120. During the detection operation, the operator can observe the ultraviolet radiation intensity inside the lamp in real time through the display, thereby obtaining the change pattern of ultraviolet radiation, which facilitates the determination of the working status of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0057] In summary, the ultraviolet lamp detection device 100 and lamp detection system provided by the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following advantages:

[0058] (1) It can provide a dark environment by covering the ultraviolet lamp tube with the upper box 110, and the wiring harness connected to the ultraviolet lamp tube is housed by the first wiring hole 115 to provide energy to the ultraviolet lamp tube to emit light. The detection element 120 is used to acquire and output the ultraviolet radiation intensity generated by the ultraviolet lamp tube, thereby realizing the detection of the ultraviolet radiation intensity of the ultraviolet lamp tube, which facilitates the timely replacement of ultraviolet lamp tubes with insufficient radiation intensity, fully ensuring the disinfection effect and avoiding negative impact on the disinfection operation.

[0059] (2) By setting the lower box 130 to accommodate and support the ultraviolet lamp tube, and allowing the upper box 110 to cover the lower box 130, a more enclosed dark cavity is formed, which further improves the isolation effect against external light.

[0060] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
