[0019] With reference to the Fig. Figures 1 to 12 show an embodiment provided by the present application.

[0020] A UV device provided by the present application comprises a housing 10 on which a UV light source 2 is arranged. The UV light source 2 serves to emit UV light. The UV device can be a product such as a nail lamp, a nail fungus treatment lamp, an insect killer lamp, a flashlight, etc.

[0021] The UV device provided above, with its housing 10, offers a stable installation base and a reliable protective barrier for the UV light source 2. It effectively isolates the device from external dust, moisture, and impacts, preventing light source failures due to environmental factors, extending the device's overall lifespan, and reducing maintenance frequency and costs. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light emitted by the UV light source 2 acts on the target object and can be used for functions such as curing nail gel, treating nail fungus, attracting insects, and illumination. In addition, the combined structure of the housing 10 and UV light source 2 is simple and compact, easy to carry and operate, and can be flexibly adapted to various application scenarios such as homes, nail salons, and small clinics, thus increasing the device's versatility and practicality.

[0022] UV stands for ultraviolet; a UV device is a device that, through its housing 10, carries and protects the internal UV light source 2 and utilizes the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the UV light source 2 to perform various functions. Its core applications include areas such as germicidal and disinfection, light curing, surface modification of materials, exposure in photolithography, and air and water purification.Specifically, it can be used for the disinfection of instruments and the environment in medical facilities, as a disinfection module in household water purifiers and air purifiers, for surface disinfection in food processing plants, but also for bonding printed circuit board components and chip encapsulation in the electronics industry, UV printing in the printing industry, UV curing of floors and furniture lacquers in the construction industry, as well as in industrial manufacturing scenarios such as semiconductor photolithography and the improvement of the adhesion strength of material surfaces.

[0023] For example, as in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the device is a flashlight, the housing 10 having a cylindrical structure to facilitate transport and use. Furthermore, a translucent shield 300 is attached to the front of the housing, through which the UV light from the UV light source 2 can escape. A battery can be arranged in the housing 10 to power the UV light source 2.

[0024] For example, as in Fig. As shown in Figures 1-6, the device is a nail lamp; a light chamber 50 is formed on the housing 10, in which the UV light source 2 is arranged. The UV light source 2 comprises LED chips 21; when a hand is inserted into the light chamber 50, the LED chips 21 emit light. In this way, the design of the light chamber 50, adapted to the insertion of the hand, as well as the arrangement of several LED chips 21 within the light chamber 50, allows the light to act in a concentrated and even manner on the surface of the nail gel, thus avoiding light scattering and achieving fast and complete curing without complex procedures, effectively increasing the efficiency of the manicure. At the same time, the light exposure is direct and highly stable, which significantly improves the durability and aesthetic appearance of the cured nail gel. The overall structure is simple and practical.In addition, a power connection point is located on the housing, which serves to connect a power cable to supply the UV light source with power.

[0025] For example, as in Fig. As shown in Figures 8-10, the device is a nail fungus treatment lamp or a nail lamp for individual fingers; the housing 10 comprises an upper sheath 100 and a lower sheath 200. The upper sheath 100 and the lower sheath 200 are movably connected to each other. A light chamber 50 is enclosed between the upper sheath 100 and the lower sheath 200. LED chips 21 are attached to the lower surface of the upper sheath 100. In this way, the position of the upper sheath 100 and the lower sheath 200 can be adjusted by means of the movable connection in order to enlarge the light chamber 50. A finger is inserted into the light chamber 50, then the positions of the upper sheath 100 and the lower sheath 200 are adjusted and fixed. The curing or treatment effect is achieved by the emission of UV light by the LED chips 21. In addition, a battery can be arranged in the housing 10 to supply power to the UV light source 2.

[0026] The upper shell 100 and the lower shell 200 are movably connected to each other by a hinge.

[0027] For example, as in Fig.As shown in Figures 11-12, the device is an insect-killing lamp; a translucent guard 300 is arranged in the housing 10, in which the UV light source 2 is located. Outside the translucent guard 300 is an electric grid structure 400 for electrocuting insects. A protective grid structure 500 is attached to the housing 10. In this way, the arrangement of the UV light source 2 and the electric grid structure 400 within the translucent guard 300 attracts insects that approach the translucent guard 300 and are electrocuted by the electric grid structure 400. The design of the grid structure 500 prevents contact with the electric grid structure 400. A battery can also be arranged in the housing 10 to supply power to the UV light source 2.

[0028] When used as a nail lamp, an opening 51 is formed at the front of the light chamber 50; the opening 51 serves to allow the hand to be inserted into the light chamber 50 for use. The design of the opening 51 follows the insertion path of the hand, enabling comfortable and smooth insertion and removal. Furthermore, the escape of light from inside the light chamber 50 is reduced to ensure that the light effect is concentrated on the nail gel.

[0029] The housing 10 contains an installation space 52 in which several LED chips 21 are arranged. The installation space 52 provides a separate enclosure for the LED chips 21, protecting them from dust, impacts, etc. Furthermore, the installation space 52 secures the position of the LED chips 21, preventing displacement during use and ensuring stable lighting. The separate cavity also facilitates compact wiring and future maintenance.

[0030] Specifically, the installation space 52 is located above the illumination space 50, and several irradiation holes 15 are positioned between the installation space 52 and the illumination space 50. The multiple LED chips 21 are arranged corresponding to the multiple irradiation holes 15. In this way, the light can be directed precisely perpendicularly onto the nail gel to avoid light refraction losses and to further improve light utilization and curing uniformity. The light emitted by the LED chips 21 shines through the irradiation holes 15 into the illumination space 50.

[0031] A light panel 20 is installed in installation space 52, on which the several LED chips 21 are mounted. The light panel 20 is fixed in installation space 52. In this way, the fixed arrangement of the light panel 20 ensures a stable position of the LED chips 21 and prevents a shift in the light effect due to vibrations during use.

[0032] In some embodiments, the multiple light plates 20 are each formed separately. The structure in which the LED chips 21 are installed on separate plates facilitates separate maintenance or replacement of defective LED chips 21.

[0033] In some embodiments, the multiple light-emitting panels 20 are formed in one piece to form a single panel. This increases structural integrity and assembly efficiency. At the same time, the one-piece structure offers greater stability and ensures installation accuracy and light consistency of the multiple LED chips 21.

[0034] Specifically, a mainboard 30 and a sensor 40 are housed in installation space 52. The mainboard 30 is electrically connected to the multiple light panels 20 and the sensor 40. Several buttons 31, a power supply chip, and a driver chip are attached to the mainboard 30. The top surfaces of the buttons 31 extend upwards beyond the light chamber 50 and are located on the outer surface of the housing 10. The sensor 40 detects whether a hand has been inserted into the light chamber 50. In this way, the interaction of the sensor 40 and the mainboard 30 enables automatic sensor activation: the device switches on when a hand is inserted and off when it is removed. This eliminates the need for frequent manual operation, making it more convenient and energy-efficient. The mainboard 30 integrates core components, while the external buttons 31 allow for quick user control and ensure the operational stability of the device.

[0035] The 31 buttons include an on / off switch and several timer buttons; depending on the required usage time, the corresponding timer button is pressed to start 30s, 60s or unlimited time, etc.

[0036] In some embodiments, the sensor 40 can be an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared transmitter is mounted on one side wall of the installation space 52, and the infrared receiver on the opposite side wall of the installation space 52. The light emitted by the infrared transmitter can travel horizontally through the illumination space 50 and then be received by the infrared receiver. This allows for accurate detection of whether a hand has been inserted.

[0037] In some embodiments, the housing 10 comprises an outer sheath 11 and an inner sheath 12. The outer sheath 11 and the inner sheath 12 are firmly connected to each other by a top-and-bottom plug-in connection and enclose the installation space 52. The light chamber 50 is located within the inner sheath 12. Several cooling vents 14 are provided in the inner sheath 12, connecting the installation space 52 to the light chamber 50. This simple plug-in connection structure of the outer sheath 11 and inner sheath 12 facilitates assembly during production and disassembly for maintenance. The cooling vents 14 allow airflow between the installation space 52 and the light chamber 50 to dissipate the heat generated by the LED chips 21 in a timely manner, thus preventing high temperatures from impairing the curing of the nail gel or damaging internal components of the device.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 10 further comprises a base 13. The inner sheath 12 and the base 13 are firmly connected to each other by a top-and-bottom plug connection, and the light chamber 50 is enclosed between the base 13 and the inner sheath 12. The addition of the base 13 makes the underside of the overall structure more stable and facilitates the cleaning of any nail gel residue or dust remaining inside.

[0039] The housing (10) features a power connection point for attaching a power cable. The design of this connection point ensures a stable connection to an external power source, guarantees a continuous power supply to the device, avoids issues with limited battery life, and is suitable for extended manicure sessions.

[0040] The LED chips comprise 21 LED lamp beads. These LED lamp beads offer the advantages of high luminous efficacy, low energy consumption, and low heat generation. They can cure nail gel quickly while simultaneously reducing energy consumption and extending the device's lifespan. Furthermore, the LED light is very stable, so fluctuations in light intensity do not affect the quality of the cured nail gel.

[0041] The descriptions above represent only some embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit it. All modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
