2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the above-mentioned open-type light irradiating apparatus, an ultraviolet irradiating module is formed by detachably attaching a quartz glass transparent tube having a built-in ultraviolet lamp as a light irradiating lamp to a frame. However, in many cases, the ultraviolet irradiation module is assembled and used as an integral unit that can be attached to and detached from the housing. In the case of treating a liquid to be treated, such as open channel type sewage, the unitized ultraviolet irradiation module is used. UV treatment equipment, immersed in a liquid to be treated such as open channel type sewage, and irradiate bacteria, organic substances, harmful substances, etc. in the liquid to be treated with ultraviolet rays,
A treated liquid free of bacteria, organic substances, harmful substances, etc. has been obtained by sterilizing bacteria in liquids, oxidatively decomposing organic substances, decomposing harmful substances, and the like.

However, in this type of open type ultraviolet processing apparatus, if the liquid to be processed is continuously irradiated with ultraviolet light, calcium, magnesium, iron, and the like contained in the liquid are deposited on the surface of the light transmitting tube having the built-in ultraviolet lamp. ,aluminum,
Since the scale of phosphorus and organic substances (hereinafter referred to as scale) adheres, the ultraviolet transmittance of the ultraviolet lamp decreases,
There are problems such as a reduction in the purity of the processing liquid and a reduction in the ultraviolet irradiation efficiency.

Therefore, in the conventional open type ultraviolet treatment apparatus, there is often no cleaning mechanism for automatically peeling off the scale adhered to the light transmitting tube during the ultraviolet irradiation treatment. Disassemble the open-type UV treatment device, pull up the unitized UV irradiation module, take out one of the light-transmitting tubes with scale attached to the frame, and remove it manually to clean it. This requires a great deal of time and money, and a reduction in the efficiency of ultraviolet treatment is inevitable.

[0005] Currently, an open type ultraviolet processing apparatus which is experimentally used includes a single light-transmitting tube having a built-in ultraviolet lamp provided in a sealed cylinder and a cleaning member having a brush or a scraper attached thereto. Is slidably inserted, and by rotating the screw shaft to repeatedly move the cleaning body along the surface of the light transmitting tube, the scale attached to the surface of the light transmitting tube is automatically removed during the ultraviolet irradiation treatment. Some peeled off.

However, this type of ultraviolet treatment apparatus has a mechanism in which a screw shaft provided in a light transmitting tube and a cleaning body such as a brush or a scraper are integrally linked, and a scale adheres to the ultraviolet irradiation efficiency. When replacing a translucent tube or a cut ultraviolet lamp that has been lowered, disassemble the housing of the ultraviolet processing device, then take out the cleaning body with the screw shaft and brush etc. integrated with the translucent tube, Cleaning such as peeling off the scale from the light-transmitting tube, and taking out and replacing the ultraviolet lamp from the light-transmitting tube required very troublesome work, resulting in poor processing efficiency.

The above-mentioned conventional closed-type ultraviolet irradiation tube having an automatic cleaning mechanism using a cleaning body is provided with a single light-transmitting tube having a built-in ultraviolet lamp inside the apparatus.
The scale attached to this single light-transmitting tube is automatically cleaned by peeling off, etc., and a plurality of light-transmitting tubes with built-in ultraviolet lamps are removably assembled as a unit in the housing as a module. However, there is nothing that automatically cleans the scales adhered to the plurality of light-transmitting tubes such as peeling off during the ultraviolet irradiation process at the same time, and this type of closed type ultraviolet irradiation tube has a small processing flow rate and sewage. When processing such as, there is a problem because contaminants such as scale adhere to the inner surface of the cylinder.

Therefore, Japan Photo Science Co., Ltd., which is the applicant company, incorporated a plurality of light-transmitting tubes incorporating a light irradiation lamp (ultraviolet lamp) as a unit in a housing as a module, and during light irradiation processing, Developed an open-type light irradiation device (open-type ultraviolet treatment device) with an automatic cleaning mechanism using a cleaning tool such as a brush or a scraper that automatically cleans each light-transmitting tube at the same time.
Although a patent application (Japanese Patent Application No. 7-79349) was filed, the light-transmitting tube incorporating the light irradiation lamp is made of quartz glass, and as a result of actually operating this device, depending on the use condition, It turned out that there was a problem as described below.

That is, it is difficult to completely remove the scale adhered to the surface of the quartz glass light-transmitting tube using a simple cleaning tool such as a brush or a scraper. During the continuation, it was inevitable that the scale gradually accumulated in the light-transmitting tube and the UV transmittance decreased.

In particular, since the surface of the light transmitting tube made of quartz glass has irregularities of about 0.5 μm and distortion of about 0.5 mm, scale easily adheres to the surface of the light transmitting tube. It is not only difficult to clean the scale adhered to the surface by peeling off with a cleaning tool such as a brush or a scraper, but also the surface smoothness and slidability of the light-transmitting tube are impaired due to these irregularities and distortion, and a brush or a scraper, etc. This causes an increase in frictional resistance when the cleaning tool slides, causing various failures.

When the scale attached to the surface of the light-transmitting tube is observed with an electron microscope, the scale has a strong crystal structure with a film thickness of 1 μm. In particular, the components of the scale are calcium, magnesium, iron and aluminum. In the case of phosphorus, phosphorus, etc., the scale becomes even stronger, and cleaning such as peeling cannot be performed by simply rubbing with a cleaning body such as a brush or a scraper. This caused an increase in frictional resistance during movement.

As a measure against the scale adhering to the surface of the light-transmitting tube, attention has been paid to preventive measures for preventing the scale from adhering to the surface of the light-transmitting tube.
In the fluid sterilizer of No. 4 (Japanese Utility Model Application No. 58-8735), a chloro-trifluoroethylene polymer-coated resin is applied to the outer surface of an inner tube (7a) made of quartz glass as a light-transmitting tube having a built-in ultraviolet lamp. There is also a technique for forming a multi-layer tube (7) in which the layer (7b) is fused so as to make it difficult for dirt to adhere to the surface of the tube (from page 3, line 12 to page 3, from bottom to page 3). 2 lines).

As a similar preventive measure, for example, in a protective tube of an ultraviolet sterilizing lamp disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-48092 (Japanese Patent Application No. 63-197190), a quartz protective tube is used as a transparent tube having a built-in ultraviolet lamp. A fluororesin film is formed on the outer surface (page 1, line 5 to line 6 in the specification),
Rather than removing the deposits after they adhere as in the prior art, this technique minimizes the amount of deposits on the quartz protective tube, that is, fundamentally makes the deposits less likely to adhere ( Specification, page 2, line 12 to bottom line 1).

The above two preventive measures as measures against scale are to prevent the scale from adhering to the surface of the light transmitting tube in which the ultraviolet lamp is built as much as possible. If the UV irradiation treatment is continued, it is inevitable that the scale in the liquid to be treated adheres to the surface of the light-transmitting tube containing the UV lamp, and the UV transmittance of the UV lamp increases as the scale accumulates. In order to reduce the purity of the processing liquid, the UV irradiation process must be interrupted, the UV processing device must be disassembled, the light-transmitting tube with scale attached must be taken out, and cleaning work such as peeling must be performed. The decrease in the efficiency of ultraviolet treatment was the same as in the conventional case.
