When the liquid to be treated is sterilized by irradiation of ultraviolet rays using the light-transmitting tube 2 coated with a fluororesin, the surface of the light-transmitting tube 2 is originally coated with a fluororesin to prevent light irradiation. Since the recesses on the surface of the transmission tube 2 are made as small as possible, compared with the case where the fluororesin is not coated, the fine particle-like hardness components entering the recesses on the surface of the light transmission tube 2 can be prevented. The scale amount is very small, and since the surface of the light transmission tube 2 is coated with a fluororesin to improve the smoothness, the scale such as the hardness component in the liquid is hard to adhere to the surface, so that the hardness component The light transmission tube 2 is less contaminated by the scale.

However, if the sterilization treatment of the liquid to be treated is continued by irradiating it with ultraviolet rays, scales such as fine particle-like hardness components intrude into the slightly remaining recesses on the surface of the light transmission tube 2, and the Since scales such as hardness components start to adhere to the surface of the transmission tube 2 and the amount of UV irradiation decreases, the slidability is increased and the frictional resistance is reduced while continuing the sterilization treatment by UV irradiation of the liquid to be treated. Due to the synergistic action of the scraper ring 3 and the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid chamber 6 of the scraper ring 3, the scale such as the hardness component that has entered the concave portion of the surface of the light transmission tube 2 is dissolved, and at the same time, adhered to the surface of the light transmission tube 2, The scale of the deposited hardness component and the like is peeled off and washed to easily and surely recover the light irradiation amount of the light irradiation lamp 1 built in the light transmission tube 2 and increase the ultraviolet irradiation processing flow rate.
