Abstract

In order to solve the effects of ultraviolet rays on materials such as eyesight and plastics, and to solve the problem of deterioration of sterilization ability due to deterioration of ultraviolet light output and shortening the lifespan of parts due to continuous operation for 24 hours By increasing the UV output and forming a sterilized area slightly reduced compared to the entire bucket, by controlling the operation time of the lamp according to the shortening of the sterilization time by a short circuit to save the electrical energy and greatly increase the life of the parts.

The present invention relates to a device for sterilizing bacteria that propagates in a water purifier or a storage tank of bottled water without difficulty.

In order to sterilize a conventional water purifier or bacteria that grow in the water, an ultraviolet lamp is installed in a water tank or installed in a pipe system to be supplied to be sterilized.

However, these devices have various problems. For example, if the lamp itself is installed directly inside the glass tank, there is a slight disinfection effect. However, ultraviolet rays generated from the lamp are transmitted to the outside, which affects the eyesight of the human body. The mercury encapsulated to generate ultraviolet rays inside the water tank has a danger of seriously affecting the human body. Therefore, there was a problem that must be very careful during installation and transportation. In addition, the pass-through UV sterilization unit is somewhat easy to handle, but it is difficult to check whether it is operated or damaged after installation (because it is in an airtight container). As soon as it flowed out, it had a problem of almost no sterilizing effect. The time that water passes through this unit is only a few seconds to tens of seconds, making it almost impossible to actually sterilize with ultraviolet light. The present invention, which focuses on such a problem as described above, provides a water tank by allowing ultraviolet rays to be naturally convection slowly by the slight heat generated by the lamp with a protective housing that protects the lamp while increasing the sterilization efficiency by contact with water. The water in the water can be circulated to achieve the purpose of sterilization and to eliminate the effect on the human eye's vision by ultraviolet rays and is a very simple invention. In particular, when a UV lamp is installed alone in a conventional glass bath or bucket, it is difficult to sufficiently sterilize a large part of the tank. Also, when using a plastic bucket, the plastic itself is deteriorated by UV rays. Was doing.

However, the present invention solves the problem that the stainless steel reflective cylinder serving as a protective cap of the lamp not only protects the lamp but also exposes the ultraviolet rays to the outside to deteriorate the human body or other plastics, and also sufficiently performs the function as a reflective cylinder. It also plays a role of increasing the ability of ultraviolet light to weaken by the reflector. When the present invention is described in more detail based on the drawings, the sterilization unit made of a single unit as shown in FIG. 1 is simply installed in accordance with the outlet 9 of FIG. In addition to protecting the lamp from breakage, the ultraviolet rays 21 generated from the ultraviolet lamp 6 are reflected by the ultraviolet reflecting cylinder 5 to the sterilization efficiency in the sterilization apparatus 11 to reach the maximum value. When water is extracted from the water extraction cock, the water located in the sterilization device 11 flows out through the water outlet 9 of the bucket housing, so that water can be sufficiently sanitized. In addition, the sterilization apparatus 11 continues to sterilize the water in the water tank even when the water is not discharged, which is caused by the slight heat generated from the ultraviolet lamp 6 causing the convection phenomenon 23 and the sterilization apparatus 11 and the lower portion of the water circulation. 7) The water slowly introduced from the convection proceeds in the direction of the arrow 23, and at this time continues to circulate to the water circulation upper outlet (4) installed in the reflective cap cover to sterilize the entire water inside the bucket. In this case, the conventional UV sterilizer was insignificant in performance and continuously lit for 24 hours. However, in the present invention, the mercury encapsulated in the ultraviolet lamp was consumed for generation of ultraviolet rays. By installing the reflection circle (5) to increase the performance, such as sterilization in a short time or dozens of minutes, a suitable program is installed in the power supply controller from the outside to operate it intermittently at an appropriate time without requiring lighting within 24 hours. It is an invention that can achieve the purpose of two-piece doublet, which saves electric energy, greatly extends the life of the lamp, and also extends the life of the circuit and components sufficiently.

Claims (4)

In the sterilization device which is installed in the water tank alone, the UV lamp with the terminal part well made by epoxy etc. having sufficient water resistance in water and the stainless or suitable reflecting cylinder to reflect the ultraviolet rays generated from the lamp and the reflecting cylinder It has water circulation inlet and outlet for natural circulation, and it receives power from external power supply device and performs ON / OFF automatically at appropriate intervals. As the application of the present invention, the life of the lamp and the transformer is extended by using a stainless steel or a suitable metal material with ultraviolet reflectivity, and installing the lamp directly on the stainless steel bucket by applying a protective quartz tube to the lamp itself and performing ON / OFF at appropriate intervals from the outside. It is characterized by the fact that it is fully extended, and it is characterized in that it completely solves the blood for the human body or the plastic which is weak to ultraviolet rays. In the present invention described in claim 1, it is possible to use a power supply from an external power supply device by simply putting it in a water tank without changing any part or installing a separate device when installing the water tank. In order to solve the short-lived problem that is issued by operating the UV lamp for 24 hours continuously, a reflection cylinder or a reflective metal material is installed to increase the output and increase the sterilization effect according to the reduction of the sterilization time. Characterized by saving energy and greatly increasing the life of parts.
