Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a sterilization apparatus is provided, and fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a sterilization apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, the sterilization apparatus 100 mainly includes:

a light emitting module 101 for emitting irradiation light for sterilizing a sterilization object;

a photosensitive module 102 for detecting the irradiation intensity of the irradiation light;

the processing module 104 is respectively connected with the photosensitive module and the timing module, and is configured to determine a sterilization state for sterilizing the sterilization object according to the irradiation intensity, the irradiation duration, and a preset mapping relationship, where the preset mapping relationship is used to represent an association relationship among the irradiation intensity, the irradiation duration, and the sterilization state;

and the interaction module 105 is connected with the processing module and is used for acquiring the sterilization state from the processing module and outputting the sterilization state.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the sterilization device 100 includes a light emitting module 101, wherein the light emitting module 101 may include one or more light emitting units. In some embodiments, the light emitting module 101 includes: the UVC lamp, for example, the light module may include one UVC lamp or a plurality of UVC lamps. In addition, the light emitting module 101 may also be an infrared lamp or other light emitting units capable of emitting light with sterilization capability, and the embodiment of the disclosure is not limited thereto.

Here, the irradiation duration that the lighting module obtained by the timing module irradiates the sterilization object may include: the total irradiation duration of the light-emitting module irradiating the sterilization object is the total irradiation duration from the starting time of starting the light-emitting function of the light-emitting module to the current time.

And the important reference value for judging the UVC sterilization effect is the irradiation amount, and the larger the irradiation amount is, the better the sterilization effect is. Wherein, the calculation formula of the irradiation amount is as follows:

an irradiation amount Q is equal to the irradiation intensity a × the irradiation time period t (1);

as can be seen from the equation (1), the sterilization effect is proportional to the irradiation intensity and the irradiation time period, wherein the unit of the irradiation amount Q may be millijoules per square centimeter (mJ/cm)²) The unit of the irradiation intensity A may be milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm)²) The unit of the irradiation time period t may be seconds(s). Under the condition that the irradiation time is fixed, the irradiation amount can be increased by increasing the irradiation intensity. The irradiation intensity is related to the power of the UVC lamp and the distance between the UVC lamp and the object. On the premise that the power of the UVC lamp and the distance of an irradiated object (sterilization object) are not changed, namely the irradiation intensity is not changed, the irradiation time of the UVC lamp is influenced on the sterilization effect.

For a single 3mW Light Emitting Diode (LED) shown on the left, the illumination radius is 6.9 centimeters (cm) to 7.47cm, and as can be seen from the figure, the intensity of the central portion (illumination center) is greater than that of the edge portion, and the closer to the edge portion, the lower the illumination intensity, and the illumination intensity of the edge portion is about 2.42 microwatts per square centimeter (uW/cm)²). For the superimposed graph of two LEDs shown on the right, the intensity of the middle part is greater than the intensity of the middle part of a single LED due to the energy superposition, and the intensity of the middle part is also greater than the intensity of the edge part.

Taking the example that the touch component is a touch screen with a display function, in some embodiments, different controls may be set on the touch screen for different functions, and in the implementation process, a user may input different touch operations based on the different controls. For example, a touch operation for suspending the sterilization function may be input based on a suspension control disposed on the touch screen to control the light emitting module to stop emitting the illumination light. For another example, a touch operation for turning on the sterilization function may be input based on a turn-on control disposed on the touch screen to control the light-emitting module to start emitting the illumination light.

In other embodiments, the touch control element may also be a virtual key or a physical key disposed on the sterilization apparatus, and is not limited to a specific one as long as the touch control element can be used to input a touch control operation.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the control instruction generated by the processing module may be different based on different input touch operations or different input touch components of the touch operations. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the control instruction may include an instruction for turning on the light emitting function of the light emitting module, so that, in the process of using the sterilization apparatus, a user may turn on the light emitting function of the light emitting module as needed to start sterilization.

In this disclosure, through the control command that generates the light-emitting function who is used for closing light-emitting module, the user can close light-emitting module's light-emitting function's instruction as required, because some food may produce rotten when the time of through light irradiation is too long, in this disclosure, the user can select whether to open or close light-emitting module's light-emitting function according to actual conditions, compares in only judging by oneself based on sterilizing equipment, more hugs closely user's in-service use demand.

Because sterilizing equipment in this disclosure has mutual module, and this mutual module can output sterilizing equipment's sterilization state, at the in-process that uses this sterilizing equipment, the user can look over this sterilizing equipment's sterilization state at any time to whether the touch-control operation of adjusting is carried out to irradiation intensity according to sterilization state selection, for example, when the user needs accelerate sterilizing equipment's speed, can input the touch-control operation that improves the irradiation intensity of the illumination light that luminous module sent, and then the control command that generates the user and improve the irradiation intensity of illumination light.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the control and adjustment of different functions of the sterilization device can be realized through different control instructions, so that the sterilization effect of the sterilization device and the experience of a user using the sterilization device are improved.

the display component is used for displaying the sterilization state;

Here, since the interaction module includes the display component, in the implementation process, the sterilization status may be displayed through the display component, wherein the sterilization status may include at least one of: sterilization degree, waiting sterilization time and irradiation intensity.

The sterilization degree may be: the ratio between the amount of dead bacteria and the amount of viable bacteria, or the ratio between the amount of dead bacteria and the total amount of bacteria, etc., is used to indicate the strength of the sterilization apparatus to kill bacteria, i.e., the sterilization effect of the sterilization apparatus. The waiting time for sterilization is the time for waiting for all bacteria to be killed. The irradiation intensity is the current irradiation intensity of the emitted light.

Wherein, the display module can include: a display screen. In some embodiments, the touch component and the display component may be separately displayed components, or may be displayed components in a multiplexed manner. Taking the display component as an example, in the implementation process, the sterilization status may be displayed through a User Interface (UI) on the display screen.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the display of the sterilization state (sterilization degree, sterilization waiting time and irradiation intensity) is realized by designing the user interface, the sterilization process is displayed in a visual mode, and the user can control the sterilization process through the UI interface. For example, a control for starting the sterilization function and a control for suspending the sterilization function may be designed, so as to realize the interaction between the user and the sterilization process. Through simulating whole sterilization process, the sterilization state is displayed to the user based on the UI interface, the realization is with the sterilization process dominance of invisibility, improves user's interactive experience.

In some embodiments, the processing module is further configured to:

the interaction module is further used for outputting the prompt information.

Here, the preset target time period may be: the longest time required for killing all bacteria in the sterilization device is determined according to experimental data; or the average value of the time length required for killing all the various bacteria in the sterilization device; or an intermediate value of a time period required for killing all the various bacteria in the sterilization apparatus, and the like. For example, in the course of an experiment, a sterilization object may be placed at the boundary of the region that can be irradiated by the light-emitting module, the total duration for successfully killing the sterilization object is obtained, and the total duration is determined as the preset target duration corresponding to the sterilization object. That is, as long as the sterilization object is located in the irradiation area of the light emitting module, the sterilization object can be killed by the sterilization device when the preset target is reached.

In the implementation process, the irradiation duration required for killing various bacteria can be edited into a program in advance and input into an operating system of the sterilization device, and in the use process, the maximum irradiation duration can be determined as the preset target duration. For example, if the time period for successfully killing penicillium is 30 minutes, which is the maximum value of all irradiation time periods, the system will kill all bacteria within a default of 30 minutes after the sterilization function of the sterilization device is turned on.

Because the irradiation time lengths required for killing different types of bacteria are different, in the implementation process, the irradiation time lengths required for killing the bacteria which have large influence on food or are more common can be determined, and the irradiation time lengths required for killing the bacteria are determined as the target preset time lengths. In other embodiments, in the using process, different target preset durations may also be set according to different usage scenarios.

In other embodiments, when a plurality of irradiation durations for killing a plurality of bacteria are obtained, an average value of the plurality of irradiation durations may be obtained, and the determined average value may be used as a preset target duration. Through the mode, the quality of the sterilization object can be ensured on the basis of killing most of bacteria.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the light emitting module turns off the light emitting function and the irradiation duration is longer than or equal to the duration of the preset target, it indicates that various bacteria have been successfully killed, at this time, the processing module can generate the prompt message for prompting the completion of sterilization, and output the prompt message through the interaction module to remind the user that the sterilization work is completed, so that the visualization of the sterilization result can be further realized.

In the whole sterilization process, taking the preset target duration as 30 minutes as an example, the technical scheme in the disclosure can simulate the current bacterial state according to the accumulation of the irradiation duration and the irradiation intensity, for example, when the irradiation duration reaches 15 minutes, the sterilization degree (the damage degree of bacteria) is about 50%, and at this time, the sterilization degree can be output through the interaction module and displayed to the user, so that the sterilization process and the sterilization effect are directly presented to the user, and the interaction performance of the sterilization device is improved.

In other embodiments, the processing module is further configured to: and if the light-emitting module is detected to be restarted, the light-emitting module continues to emit the illumination light based on the light-emitting module until the illumination time is greater than or equal to the preset target time. The irradiation duration is the total duration of irradiation of the sterilization object by the irradiation light emitted by the light emitting module.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, under the condition that the light-emitting module is turned on again after being turned off due to the operation of the user, the timing can be continued on the basis of the previous irradiation duration, and compared with the re-timing in the related art, the irradiation duration of the sterilization object can be relatively reduced, and the quality of the sterilization object is further ensured on the basis of sufficient sterilization.
