Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to a fan light, and more particularly to a fan light with UV sterilization function. [Previous Technology]
[0002] Most of the UV modules added to existing fan lights are designed for non-fixed installation, making it difficult to center the UV module during assembly. Consequently, it is impossible to control the irradiation angle of the UV lamp, preventing the UV light with sterilization function from fully sterilizing the air blown out by the fan light. Moreover, since the connectors of the added UV modules are mostly exposed, there is a risk of breakage.
[0003] Therefore, a fan light that can solve the above problems is needed. [Summary of the Invention]

The bracket includes a base and a plurality of connecting arms. The base includes a first surface, a second surface higher than the first surface, and a connecting surface connected therebetween. The bracket connects the light-emitting module via the connecting arms. The fan module is located between the light-emitting module and the bracket. The UV antibacterial purification module is located between the fan module and the bracket. The UV antibacterial purification module includes a body and a connector. The bracket includes a first baffle wall located on the first surface and along a portion of the outer edge of the first surface, and a second baffle wall and a third baffle wall extending from both ends of the first baffle wall and connected to the connecting surface.

[0026] In some embodiments, the bracket 120 further includes a through hole 126 on the first surface 1210 and located in the groove 124, between the second limiting structure 1252 and the third retaining wall 1233, configured as a wiring hole for the line.
[0027] In some embodiments, the base 121 of the bracket 120 is an annular base, the first surface 1210 and the second surface 1212 are also annular, and the centers of the base 121, the first surface 1210 and the second surface 1212 are coaxial. The annular base 121 and the structure can be easily aligned and centered when assembling the fan light 100.
[0028] In some embodiments, the base 121 further includes a bottom portion 127. The bottom portion 127 is opposite to the first surface 1210 and the second surface 1212.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 5A to 5D. Figures 5A and 5B are a perspective view and a bottom view of an ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, respectively. Figures 5C and 5D are side views of the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 from different perspectives.
[0030] In some embodiments, the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 includes a body 141 and a connector 142, and the body 141 is connected to the support 120 through the connector 142. In some embodiments, the body 141 has a light-emitting surface 144 and a back surface 145 opposite to the light-emitting surface 144, and the connector 142 is located on the back surface 145. In some embodiments, the body 141 of the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 is a hollow annular body.
[0031] In some embodiments, the light-emitting surface 144 is provided with a light-reflecting channel 146. The light-reflecting channel 146 may be composed of multiple discontinuous structures located on the light-emitting surface 144. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 5A, the light-reflecting channel 146 is composed of four sets of continuous structures. However, the light-reflecting channel 146 disclosed herein is not limited to this. For example, the light-reflecting channel 146 may be a structure continuously formed on the light-emitting surface 144.
[0032] In some embodiments, the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140 further includes an ultraviolet lamp board (not shown) interconnected with the light reflection channel 146 and having a plurality of ultraviolet light diode elements. The ultraviolet light provided by the plurality of ultraviolet light diode elements is reflected to the outside through the light reflection channel 146.
[0033] Since the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet diode element may cause eye damage if it shines directly into the human eye, in order to prevent the user's eyes from being directly irradiated by the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140, the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet diode element is first emitted to the outside through the light reflection channel 146. In this way, the ultraviolet light can be emitted evenly through reflection, and the angle of emission to the outside can be adjusted through the light reflection channel 146, thereby improving the sterilization effect and avoiding harm to the user's health.
[0034] In some embodiments, the ultraviolet light diode element may include a UVA light-emitting diode, a UVB light-emitting diode, a UVC light-emitting diode, and any combination thereof. UVA refers to electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 320 nanometers to 400 nanometers, and may also be called ultraviolet A or long-wave ultraviolet light. UVB is electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 280 nanometers to 320 nanometers, and may also be called ultraviolet light or medium-wave ultraviolet light. UVC is electromagnetic waves with wavelengths from 200 to 280 nanometers, and may also be called ultraviolet C or short-wave ultraviolet light. Among them, UVA can be further subdivided into UVA-2 and UVA-1 according to actual applications. UVA-2 is ultraviolet light with wavelengths from 320 nanometers to 340 nanometers, and UVA-1 is ultraviolet light with wavelengths from 340 nanometers to 400 nanometers.
[0035] In some embodiments, connector 142 may accommodate the electronic components and circuits required for ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 and be electrically connected to other components via connecting line 143, such as to driver 150, or to power ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 via connecting line 143.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 6A and 6B. Figure 6A is a schematic diagram of the support 120 connected to the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 6B is a schematic diagram of the support 120 not connected to the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140.
[0037] In some embodiments, the connector 142 of the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 is located in the groove 124. The connector 142 and the connecting wire 143 are covered by the first barrier 1231, the second barrier 1232 and the third barrier 1233 that together with the connecting surface 1214 form the groove 124, so as to prevent them from being damaged (please refer to Figure 4A).
[0038] In some embodiments, the connector 142 is engaged between the first limiting structure 1251 and the second limiting structure 1252, and the connecting wire 143 passes through the through hole 126 to be electrically connected to other components (please refer to Figure 4A). By fixing the position of the connector 142 through the first limiting structure 1251 and the second limiting structure 1252, the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140 can be centrally fixed on the bracket 120, thereby ensuring the irradiation range and angle of the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140.
[0039] In some embodiments, when the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 is connected to the bracket 120, the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 is located between the outer side of the connecting surface 1214 of the base 121 and the inner side of the first baffle 1231. Through the first baffle 1231, the second baffle 1232, and the third baffle 1233 that together with the connecting surface 1214 form the groove 124, and the first limiting structure 1251 and the second limiting structure 1252 located in the groove 124, the positioning features of the bracket 120 are increased. This not only makes it convenient to install and position the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 when assembling the fan light 100, but also protects the connector 142 of the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 from the risk of breakage.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a side view of a fan lamp 100 according to one embodiment of this disclosure. In some embodiments, the light-emitting surface 144 of the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 faces the fan module 130, and the back surface 145 faces the bracket 120. By disposing the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 between the fan module 130 and the bracket 120, and with the light-emitting surface 144 facing the fan module 130, the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet antibacterial purification module 140 can sterilize the air blown out by the fan module 130.
[0041] In some embodiments, in the arrangement direction of the light-emitting module 110 and the bracket 120, the projection range of the fan module 130 covers the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140. Due to the positioning characteristics of the bracket 120, the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140 is centrally mounted on the bracket 120. Therefore, when using the fan light 100, the ultraviolet light irradiation range emitted by the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module 140 can cover the fan module 130, thereby allowing the air blown out by the fan module 130 to be thoroughly sterilized by ultraviolet light, so as to achieve the effect of complete sterilization.
[0042] In summary, the fan light disclosed herein includes a bracket with positioning features, which not only covers and protects the connector and connecting wire of the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module, but also allows the ultraviolet light antibacterial purification module to be centrally mounted on the bracket, thereby ensuring that the ultraviolet light irradiation range covers the entire fan module, so that the air blown out by the fan module can be fully sterilized by ultraviolet light.
[0043] The foregoing has outlined the features of several embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the nature of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that they can readily use this disclosure as a basis for designing or modifying other processes and structures to achieve the same purpose and / or attain the same advantages of the embodiments described herein. Those skilled in the art should also recognize that these equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, and that they can make various changes, substitutions, and replacements herein without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
