Inside the housing 21, a sterilization chamber 213 and a sterilization channel 214 are arranged, the latter being connected to the sterilization chamber 213. The sterilization chamber 213 is designed to hold a sterilizing agent, for example, chlorine. The sterilization channel 214 is designed to connect the sterilization chamber 213 to the outside of the housing 21, so that the sterilizing agent contained in the sterilization chamber 213 can come into contact with the liquid outside the housing 21. In at least one embodiment, at least one lateral through-opening 215 is formed in a side wall of the housing 21, which is connected to the sterilization channel 214. In at least one embodiment, at least one bottom through-opening 216 is formed in a bottom wall of the housing 21, which is connected to the sterilization channel 214.

In at least one embodiment, the sterilization chamber 213 is provided with a first opening 211, which allows the user to pour sterilizing agents through this opening into the sterilization chamber 213. The sterilization device 2 can include a closure cover 22, which is configured to open or close the first opening 211. In at least one embodiment, the housing 21 is ring-shaped, and the closure cover 22 is ring-shaped and fitted onto the housing 21. The closure cover 22 is provided with a second opening 221. The closure cover 22 is rotatable relative to the housing 21 between a first position in which the second opening 221 is aligned with the first opening 211 and exposes the first opening 211, and a second position in which the second opening 221 is offset from the first opening 211 and the first opening 211 is closed by an inner wall of the closure cover 22. In at least one embodiment, a plurality of anti-slip structures 223 are formed on the outer wall of the closure cover 22. The anti-slip structure 223 can increase the frictional force between the user's finger and the closure cover 22, thereby enabling the user to rotate the closure cover 22 more easily relative to the housing 21. In at least one embodiment, a groove 222 is formed on the inner wall of the closure cover 22, and a projection 212 corresponding to the groove 222 extends from the outer wall of the housing 21. The projection 212 is received in the groove 222 in order to guide the rotation of the closure cover 22 relative to the housing 21. In at least one embodiment, the groove 222 and the projection 212 are triangular in shape. The projection 212 comprises a first surface and a second surface. A third surface and a fourth surface together define the groove 222. The first surface abuts the third surface, and the second surface abuts the fourth surface, thereby ensuring a tight connection between the closure cover 22 and the housing 21 and effectively preventing any wobble of the closure cover 22 relative to the housing 21. In at least one embodiment, an internal thread 11a is provided inside the receiving groove 112, and an external thread 21a is provided on the side wall of the housing 21 facing the receiving groove 112, with an external thread also being provided on the corresponding side wall of the closure cover 22.

In at least one embodiment, the housing 21 comprises a first housing part 217, a second housing part 218 connected to the first housing part 217, and a third housing part 219 connected to the second housing part 218. The second housing part 218 is mounted on the first housing part 217 and is movable along an axial direction relative to the first housing part 217 to change the axial length of the housing 21. The first housing part 217 comprises a first locking structure 23, and the second housing part 218 comprises a second locking structure 24 configured to abut against the first locking structure 23 to prevent movement of the second housing part 218 away from the first housing part 217. In at least one embodiment, the first locking structure 23 is arranged at an end of the first housing part 217 facing away from the base 11, and the second locking structure 24 is arranged at an end of the second housing part 218 facing the base 11. Likewise, the third housing part 219 is mounted on the second housing part 218 and is movable along an axial direction relative to the second housing part 218 to further change the axial length of the housing 218. The second housing part 218 comprises a third locking structure 25, and the third housing part 219 comprises a fourth locking structure 26 configured to abut against the third locking structure 25 to prevent movement of the third housing part 219 away from the second housing part 218.In at least one embodiment, the third blocking structure 25 is arranged at one end of the second housing part 218 facing away from the base 11, and the fourth blocking structure 26 is arranged at one end of the third housing part 219 facing the base 11. This allows the axial length of the housing 21 to be increased, enabling the housing 21 to hold a larger quantity of sterilizing agent. The axial length of the housing 21 can be easily changed by shifting the second housing part 218 relative to the first housing part 217 and the third housing part 219 relative to the second housing part 218.The first blocking structure 23 and the second blocking structure 24 prevent the second housing part 218 from moving away from the first housing part 217, and the third blocking structure 25 and the fourth blocking structure 26 prevent the third housing part 219 from moving away from the second housing part 218, thus keeping the first housing part 217, the second housing part 218 and the third housing part 219 connected to each other at all times. In at least one embodiment, the first housing part 217, the second housing part 218 and the third housing part 219 are designed as hollow cylinders, which allows for a more uniform movement of the second housing part 218 and the third housing part 219. In at least one embodiment, the diameter of the second housing part 218 is equal to or smaller than that of the first housing part 217, and the diameter of the third housing part 219 is equal to or smaller than that of the second housing part 218. The axial length of the second housing part 218 is equal to or smaller than that of the first housing part 217, and the axial length of the third housing part 219 is equal to or smaller than that of the second housing part 218. This allows the third housing part 219 to be completely enclosed within the second housing part 218, and the second housing part 218 to be completely enclosed within the first housing part 217. Thus, the sterilization device 2 can be used in liquids of varying depths. In at least one embodiment, the multifunctional luminaire 1 further comprises a solar panel 14 and a battery module 15. Both the solar panel 14 and the battery module 15 are arranged inside the translucent levitation chamber 13. The battery module 15 is connected between the solar panel 14 and the light emission assembly 12. The solar panel 14 collects solar energy, which is used to charge the battery module 15. The battery module 15 is designed to supply power to the light emission assembly 12, enabling the light emission assembly 12 to emit light. The light emission assembly 12 comprises a light body 121, a main circuit board assembly 122, and a plurality of light elements 123, for example, LEDs. The light body 121 is cylindrical. The plurality of light elements 123 are arranged uniformly on the circumferential wall of the cylinder.The main circuit board assembly 122 is connected to the majority of light elements 123 and is designed to control the light elements 123 for light emission. The solar panel 14 can collect solar energy, enabling energy-efficient operation. The battery module 15 can store energy and supply it to the light emission assembly 12, ensuring that the light emission assembly 12 can emit light even at night or in cloudy or foggy weather. Powering the light emission assembly 12 via the battery module 15 allows the light emission assembly 12 to operate without being connected to an external power supply, thus facilitating its use in various environments. In at least one embodiment, a receiving cavity 124 for receiving the battery module 15 and the main circuit board assembly 122 is formed in the light emission assembly 12, resulting in a simple and compact structure of the light emission assembly 12.
