DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not
intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in
any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration
for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes
to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement
of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as
set forth in the appended claims.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as well as FIG 6, a display device with an
ultraviolet (UV) germicidal lamp according to an embodiment of the present
invention includes a display device 1, an UV germicidal lamp 2, a power 4, a
control circuit 5, and a fixture member 3.
The display device 1 may be a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an Organic
Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display, or other similar display device. The
display device 1 has a circumferential rim 11.
The UV germicidal lamp 2 is mounted on the circumferential rim 11 of
the display device 1. The UV germicidal lamp 2 is configured with a ON/OFF
switch 21 to an end. The ON/OFF switch 21 is for turning on or off the UV
germicidal lamp 2. A first press of the ON/OFF switch 21 turns on the UV germicidal lamp 2 and the UV germicidal lamp 2 produces an ultra-violet (UV) light. After the UV germicidal lamp 2 is turned on and the UV light has performed sterilization for a period of time, the UV germicidal lamp 2 would be automatically turned off. Alternatively, while the UV germicidal lamp 2 is turned on, pressing the ON/OFF switch 21may also turn off the UV germicidal lamp 2 to stop the illumination by the UV light. The UV germicidal lamp 2 may be configured with an indicator member to inform whether the sterilization is completed. The indicator member may be an indicator lamp, a buzzer, or an indicator display. The UV germicidal lamp 2 may be an UV lamp, a metal halide lamp, a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp, a mercury vapor lamp, or a fluorescent lamp. The UV lamp may be an
UVA, UVB, or UVC lamp. An UV light has a bandwidth between 1Onm and
400nm. UVA has a bandwidth between 320 and 400nn, UVB is between 280
and 320nn, and UVC between 100 and 280 nrm. An ordinary UV light has a
bandwidth between 200nm and 280nm.
The power 4 may be an external power source. The power 4 is electrically
connected to the UV germicidal lamp 2. The control circuit 5 is configured
within the fixture member 3. The control circuit 5 is electrically connected to
the UV germicidal lamp 2 for turning on and off the UV germicidal lamp 2,
the intensity of the UV germicidal lamp 2, and the duration of lighting.
As shown in FIG 3, the fixture member 3 fixes the UV germicidal lamp 2
to the circumferential rim 11 of the display device 1. The fixture member 3
includes a base 31, a first clamp piece 32, and a second clamp piece 33. The
base 31 is joined to the UV germicidal lamp 2. The first clamp piece 32 and
the second clamp piece 33 oppose each other, thereby forming a clamp
intervalA in between as shown in FIG 4. An elastic element 35 is provided
between the second clamp piece 33 and the base 31 so as to force the second
clamp piece 33 towards the first clamp piece 32. The elastic element 35 may
be a spring. A connector 36 is provided along a side of the base 31. The
connector 36 is for connecting an external power 4 for powering the UV
germicidal lamp 2, and it may be a Type-A or Type-C Universal Serial Bus
(USB) connector.
More specifically, two troughs 34 are provided respectively and
oppositely along two opposing lateral inner walls of the base 31. Two lateral
edges of the first clamp piece 32, and those of the second clamp piece 33, are
respectively embedded in the troughs 34. The first clamp piece 32 is stacked
immediately on the second clamp piece 33. The first clamp piece 32 and the
second clamp piece 33 may be L-shaped, where the first clamp piece 32
includes at least a first vertical piece 321 and a first lateral piece (not
numbered), and the second clamp piece 33 includes a second lateral piece 332 and at least a second vertical piece 331. The first and second vertical pieces
321 and 331 are extended upward from the first and second lateral pieces
respectively.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, by sliding the first clamp piece 32 and the
second clamp piece 33, the clamp interval A maybe adjusted. When the
second clamp piece 33 is closer to the first clamp piece 32, the clamp interval
A is reduced and, as shown in FIG 5, the UV germicidal lamp 2 may be
reliably clamped to the circumferential rim 11 of the display device 1. The
adjustable clamp intervalA allows the UV germicidal lamp 2 to fit on any
display device 1 of various dimensions. On other hand, the UV germicidal
lamp 2 provides sterilization to the display device 1 and the surrounding
environment. The present invention provides a simplified structure, thereby
achieving low production cost, convenient use, and low maintenance
overhead.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the control circuit 5 may be electrically
connected to a signal receiver 6 configured within the fixture member 3. The
signal receiver 6 receives a wireless signal from a remote controller or a
mobile device 7. Based on the signal received by the signal receiver 6, the
control circuit 5 selectively turns on or off the UV germicidal lamp, and
adjusts the UV germicidal lamp 2's brightness and duration.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and
described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be
limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions,
modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device
illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without
departing in any way from the claims of the present invention.
