201238908 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本f明係陳淨化。特別是,本發明侧於淨水裝置。 【先前技術】 :般需要水冷卻機11及其他配送裝置來配送被淨化且適 於,用的水°常常使用紫外線(uv)系統來淨化水。此等系 統措由用UV輻射照射水而起作用,而uv^射係用以殺滅 細菌及其他微生物。 儘管,用於家庭、辦公室或工廠環境中之水冷卻器及類似 配送機器,例如在將水耗至足讀㈣程度、及殺滅在自 水源接收時存在於水中的微生物方面極其有效率,但有時在 實際配送點或龍猶可伴隨生物體出現__些問題。因此,已 經處理及淨化的水在配送點可能沾到污染物。因此,當前的 其中,水可能被再污染。 UV系統之弱點為「後uv消毒」 通過機器喷嘴的返流污染(Back contamination)亦為已知門 題’無論是天^細菌繁殖或人為污染,此係由於水在相對短 的時段内停滞,此促進生物體在任何儲存媒介中生長。 【發明内容】 本發明嘗試提供-種改良的淨化裝置,特別是一種改良的 水配送裝置。 < 根據本發明,在第一態樣中,提供一種淨化裝置,其包人. 細長的uv源、及供待淨化的水或另一流體所用的導^,3而 100109306 4 201238908 該導管係由uv透射材料所形成,其中,該導管具有入口及 出口,且被定位成使知其一部分繞著UV源之至少一部分而 纏繞,藉此,對導管内之水或流體消毒;此淨化裝置進一步 包含:用於使UV輻射反射至導管之一或多個部分上的反射 手段,而該反射手段係延伸超過繞著UV源而纏繞的該部 分。 藉由此種配置,藉由反射,增強了導管之所有部分上的 U V輻射。 根據本發明,在另一態樣中,提供一種用於可流動物質的 裝置,此裝置包含:一容器,其係由UV透射材料所形成, 用於可流動的物質;接收UV源的手段,其係設置成使得含 納於該容器内的物質由來自UV源的UV輻射直接地作用; 進出該容器的入口及出口;此裝置進一步包含:反射手段, 用於使來自燈具的UV輻射反射至入口及/或出口之至少一 部分上。 在另一態樣中,本發明包含一個液體保持器件,此器件包 3 .接收UV源的手段,其係設置成使得含納於此保持器件 内的液體由來自UV源的uv輻射所作用;進出此液體保持 器件的入口及出口;此液體保持器件進一步包含:反射手 段,用於使來自燈具的UV輻射反射至入口及/或出口之至 少一部分上。 較佳地,該反射手段包含一個蓋,而至少出口係穿過該 100109306 5 201238908 蓋,且該蓋具有一個反射uv輻射的表面,藉此,將來自該 源的一些UV輻射反射至容器/導管之一或多個部分上。一 個UV反射腔室較佳地安裝於套管之繞著UV源而纏繞的部 分之上’且藉此,將已透射通過導管的uv經由該導管而反 射回來,且反射至該腔室之所有部分。 在一較佳具體例中,設置一個龍頭,該龍頭係由UV反射 材料所製成,且被定位成使得UV輻射之一部分被該龍頭反 射至導管之出口及/或入口上’藉此,在出口及/或入口處對 水消毒。 在習知的配送器之情況下,微生物可能在配送點由出口進 入、或存在於龍頭自身上,而且,此等微生物可能會污染先 前由於穿過UV源而已被消毒的水。藉由設置龍頭及/或端 蓋’其係被定位成將來自於燈具的輻射之至少一部分反射至 水導管之末端或極靠近該末端之部分,則可處理此等微生 物。如此可極大地改良消毒之效率及有效性,且產生更好品 質的飲用水。如此亦防止可能經由配送喷嘴/龍頭而引入微 生物及污染物的返流污染》 較佳地’該盖具有一個適於將UV輕射反射至導管之不繞 著UV源而纏繞的部分的表面。此蓋可具有被配置成將UV 輻射反射至導管之入口及/或出口之至少一部分上的至少一 個内表面。 蓋之反射内表面可朝向導管之出口呈削尖狀。蓋之反射内 100109306 6 201238908

在第二彎曲末端内、或部分在其内軸向地延伸,而且,導管 之出口可在車由向上處於第一·彎曲末端内。 由於此種呈削尖狀/會聚/扇形形狀之配置,隨著距源 之距離增加,反射的輻射可較佳地朝向導管之出口所設置的 點集中,以便藉由反射的輻射而有效地照射導管之出口。 反射蓋較佳提供了延伸超過導管之外徑向範圍的反射路 徑。 龍頭可被定位成使其將uv輻射反射至出口上。該龍頭可 包含蓋之一部分。在任何情況下,該龍頭較佳連接至該蓋, 以形成不斷開的折射路徑。 較佳地,導管延伸至龍頭中,但停止在尚未到達該龍頭之 末端處,使得,導管之出口相對於龍頭之出口而凹入。導管 之延伸至龍頭中的部分可係被該龍頭屏蔽,以免遭來自uv 源的直接輻射。 此種裝置可包括一個具有内uv反射表面的腔室,而該腔 100109306 7 201238908 室係安裝在導管之纏繞部分之上,藉此將輻射反射回至導 管。腔室可終止於蓋中。 可藉由設置呈現為繞著υν源而定位的螺旋或繞組形式 的容器/導管,而進行纏繞。 UV源可為一或多個UV燈。其最佳為UVC源。 導管之入口及出口可位於此裝置之同一端處,或位於此裝 置之相對立的末端處。 根據本發明,在另一態樣中,提供一種直列式淨水裝置, 其包含:供待淨化的水所用的導管,而該導管係繞著細長的 UV源而纏繞,且具有出口;及,反射手段,其被定位成使 得UV輻射被此反射手段反射至該出口上。 可設置一個龍頭,而該龍頭具有反射表面,且被定位成將 UV反射至出口上。 本發明之諸具體例可確保所有水淨化器類型在配送點進 行淨化,同時減輕返流污染。本發明特別可供周圍的 (ambient)、發泡的、及冷的水或其他流體使用。 諸具體例亦可供許多其他類型之液體、流體、或其他可流 動物質使用。 【實施方式】

17發射UV輻射的方式,而uv轄射 100109306 13 201238908 係自端蓋i7處被反射。 圖9至圖12展示另一具體例。此具體例之功能與上述第 二具體例之作用方式相類似。其亦設置有螺旋形(螺旋狀)核 心套管30 ’如前所述,其具有位在同一端處的入口 31及出 口 32。此套管安裝在一個UV燈上方,而該UV燈之末端 33展示於圖11中’而且’陽極處理鋁或其他反射材料之外 腔室或覆蓋件34係置放於此末端之上。外腔室最佳為提供 合適反射性等級的不鏽鋼。其内表面可拋光,以最大化其反 射性。 亦設置有一個反射端蓋35,但在此具體例中,此端蓋具 有大體上扇形形狀但具有脊曲末端的剖面’如圖1 〇、圖12(a) 及圖12(b)中最清楚地展示°如所展示’此端蓋35具有兩個 直壁36、37 ’而該兩個直壁36、37係會聚至具有相對小的 曲率半徑的第一彎曲末端38 ’而且’在另一端,藉由具有 較大曲率半徑的另一彎曲末端39而接合’由此形成彎曲扇 形或楔形形狀,如圖12(a)中最清楚地展示。直壁36、37及 彎曲末端38及39 —起形成一個側面,而該侧面係延伸於由 端板或覆蓋件40所形成的頂面、與由突起或延伸部42(在 下文描述)所形成的底面之間。可認為此等表面(以組合形式) 包含有蓋35之反射内表面’如諸圖中清楚地展示,該表面 係朝向導管之出口呈削尖狀。換言之,内表面係隨著其延伸 遠離UV源而會聚。此情形提供以下益處:被反射的輻射朝 100109306 14 201238908 向龍頭43及位於其中的導管之出口集中。被反射的輻射之 此一集中,說明於圖12(b)中,而圖12(b)則表示端蓋35之 部分剖面圖。 設置有用於將腔室34安裝至端蓋35的安裝手段或掣子 60,然而,在替代具體例中,此等構件可省略或設置在外部, 以便提供平滑的反射内表面。 端板或覆蓋件40覆蓋住遠離於腔室/套管末端的端蓋之末 端。此端蓋亦為UV反射材料,通常為與可為鋁或具有合適 反射性質的任何其他金屬或塑膠材料的蓋相同之材料。端板 或覆蓋件40亦可朝向導管之出口呈削尖狀,如圖12(c)中在 40a處所展示,在此種情況下,側壁36、37及彎曲末端38 為有斜切狀,以容納呈削尖狀的覆蓋件40。如此進一步有 助於IR韓射之朝向龍頭的反射。 儘管展示了特定形狀,但仍可使用任何合適的形狀,圓柱 形或非圓柱形、或其他形狀(包括諸如細長的形狀)。將在下 文描述此等形狀之目的。 宜注意,在此種情況下,如前所述,腔室34包含有大體 上圓柱形部分41,但亦包括在其敞開的末端處之通往圓柱 形部分(龍頭)43的橫向延伸部分,諸如,突起或延伸部42, 如圖11中所展示,而該圓柱形部分43在使用中係收納來自 水套管30的出口 32,且其直徑大至足以容納出口 13。此將 較佳皆形成為一個一體式的腔室單元,儘管此等部分可為分 100109306 15 201238908 離的,但圓柱形部分41及至少第二圓柱形突起43(收納來 自套管的出口)應為UV反射材料。此延伸中空的圓柱形部 分43係充當作龍頭。導管之位在龍頭43内的部分係被龍頭 所屏蔽,以免遭直接輻射。導管之出口自龍頭之末端凹入, 以防止污染。在替代的配置中,分離的龍頭可附接至此,而 該龍頭亦為反射性。 橡膠塞56安裝於蓋上,而且,在此具體例中,此橡膠塞 為大體上圓形,其半徑與端蓋之彎曲部分39相匹配,而且, 此橡膠塞包括有用於電連接至燈具之末端33的孔口 51。此 橡膠塞亦包括有用於核心套管之入口 31的孔口 52。 可設置一個隔片53,以將套管之底端54與腔室之封閉末 端55間隔開來。此隔片可例如為橡膠。 因此,在此具體例中,亦由端蓋反射UV,作用於存在於 套管之出口處(且亦存在於入口處)的微生物,而且,龍頭為 反射材料,且用端蓋形成不斷開的反射表面,有助於消毒。 圖16展示消毒裝置,如同在第三具體例中般,其被安裝 至水配送機器60之内側。水經由入口 31進入、被消毒、接 著經由龍頭被配送至機器之外側。 圖17說明另一具體例。此第六具體例與上述第三具體例 極其類似,但其入口 31及出口 32係設置在此裝置之相對立 的末端處。 可使用UV光感測器或UV監視器來控制UV輻射。 100109306 16 201238908 宜注意’任何不同形狀/組態之組件、燈、導管、其他元 件’可供本發明之任一具體例所使用。 圖18展示—具體例,其中,導管7具有入口及出口,但 僅繞著少數幾^在設置有燒著燈纏繞的導管 的具體射’可存在任何數目_彎(自—向上數)。在圖μ 所示之實财,人π及出口處於此裝置之各卿對立的末端 處,但應清楚’此等入口及出口可設置在此裴置之同一端。 圖19展示設置有特定鏡面4〇、41的具體例。在圖19所 示之具體例中,此等鏡面被設置在端蓋處,且以「潛望鏡」 型配置來定位,以便將UV輻射自第一方向A反射9〇。、接 著在方向B上反射90。、對方向—a又反射9〇。,將其導引 至龍頭區域F。當然’可僅設置-個鏡面,或兩個或^個以 上的鏡面,而且,其可被配置成按任何特定角度或角度組合 來反射輻射。不同於具有反射端蓋,此等具體例可具備此等 鏡面,且在一些具體例中,此等鏡面可形成為具有其他反射 部分的反射配置(為單獨的反射配置)的部分。當然,此鏡面 應由反射UV輻射的材料製成,或具有反射uv輻射的表面。 圖20展示一種配置,其中,管或導管7並非螺旋狀纏繞, 而是在相對於UV燈之軸線的大致縱向上呈一系列直線形 式。在其全體中’諸平行的線(其無須彼此完全地平行)實際 上仍繞著燈纏繞’但係縱向而非橫向。此例亦可供任一具體 例所使用。在一些其他具體例中,導管可具有一或多個轉 100109306 17 201238908 彎、與一或多個縱向配置的部分之組合。 另一具體例包含一個螺旋狀配置,其係自一個末端處之入 口以多個螺旋狀轉彎向下延伸至遠端,接著,一條未繞著 uv源纏繞的單一返回線路返回至在與入口大體上相同的末 端處的出口。儘管上述之大多數具體例包括單一個燈具,但 亦可存在一個以上的燈具。舉例而言,可存在串聯或並聯的 兩個燈,而且’該等燈可設置成為縱向間隔開來(如圖22中 極其示意性地展示)、平行、或可能其間具有諸如90。或另一 角度之角度。圖23示意性地展示並聯的兩個燈。除了並聯 之外’在一些具體例中,亦可設置自身盤繞在一起的兩個或 兩個以上的燈。 燈具之許多其他組態及部署及數目,於本發明中將為顯而 易見的。 上述具體例包括呈導管(例如,管或管道)形式之容器。在 其他具體例中,水可簡單地供應至貯槽,而該貯槽圍封或部 分環繞著該(等)UV源。此情雜念性地展示於圖24中。UV 燈1设置在水貯槽42内侧,水經由入口 43進入’並經由出 口 44抓出,而且,亦設置有反射端蓋或其他反射手段45, 用以將-些UV輻射反射至出口。 因此,本發明不僅適用於水(或任何其他流體或可流動物 質)保留於導管或管㈣具體例,且亦適用於水保持於容器 内的任何具體例,此容器包括貯槽、蓄水池、 管、導管、或 100109306 201238908 可保持此等物質的其他裝置。 本發明亦適用於許多其他領域,針對其他流體或可流動物 質,包括許多不同飲料、醫藥應用(用於對物質消毒或在醫 藥製造中進行消毒)、可流動物質之消毒為必需的其他產 業、水族箱或池塘清潔或其他應用、淋浴頭(其中可配送純 ' 水)、護理院、醫院、飲食業、實驗室及其他環境、電子產 ' 業(例如,用於處理焊料或其他材料)等。 體現本發明的裝置可併入於諸如水冷卻器之裝置中,其 中,水已經受初始過濾或消毒(可能藉由另一 uv系統進 行)。在此等系統中,其可在(例如)出口 /配送末端處併入。 可使用許多不同類型之容器,諸如所論述之導管(管)、貯 槽、或其他類型之容器。

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] This f is a purification of Chen. In particular, the invention is directed to a water purification device. [Prior Art]: The water cooler 11 and other dispensing devices are generally required to dispense purified water suitable for use. The ultraviolet (uv) system is often used to purify water. These systems act by irradiating water with UV radiation, which is used to kill bacteria and other microorganisms. Although water coolers and similar distribution machines used in home, office or factory environments are extremely efficient, for example, in terms of water consumption to full reading (4) and killing microorganisms present in water when received from a water source, Sometimes in the actual distribution point or dragon can still accompany the organism to appear __ some problems. Therefore, treated and purified water may be contaminated at the point of delivery. Therefore, current water may be recontaminated. The weakness of the UV system is "post-uv disinfection". Back contamination of the machine nozzle is also known as the problem of 'bacterial reproduction or artificial pollution, which is due to the stagnant water in a relatively short period of time. This promotes the growth of the organism in any storage medium. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to provide an improved purification apparatus, and more particularly to an improved water distribution apparatus. <In accordance with the present invention, in a first aspect, a purification apparatus is provided which encloses an elongated uv source, and a guide for water or another fluid to be purified, 3 and 100109306 4 201238908 Formed from a uv transmissive material, wherein the conduit has an inlet and an outlet, and is positioned such that a portion thereof is wrapped around at least a portion of the UV source, thereby disinfecting water or fluid within the conduit; the purification device further Included: a means of reflection for reflecting UV radiation onto one or more portions of the conduit, the reflective means extending beyond the portion wound around the UV source. With this configuration, U V radiation on all portions of the catheter is enhanced by reflection. According to the present invention, in another aspect, an apparatus for a flowable substance is provided, the apparatus comprising: a container formed of a UV transmissive material for a flowable substance; a means for receiving a UV source, It is arranged such that the substance contained in the container acts directly from the UV radiation from the UV source; into and out of the inlet and outlet of the container; the apparatus further comprises: means for reflecting, for reflecting UV radiation from the luminaire At least a portion of the inlet and/or outlet. In another aspect, the invention comprises a liquid holding device, the device comprising: means for receiving a UV source, the means being arranged such that the liquid contained in the holding device is acted upon by uv radiation from the UV source; In and out of the inlet and outlet of the liquid retaining device; the liquid retaining means further comprising: means for reflecting the UV radiation from the luminaire to reflect at least a portion of the inlet and/or the outlet. Preferably, the means for reflecting comprises a cover, and at least the outlet is passed through the cover of 100109306 5 201238908, and the cover has a surface that reflects uv radiation, whereby some of the UV radiation from the source is reflected to the container/catheter On one or more parts. A UV reflecting chamber is preferably mounted over the portion of the sleeve that is wrapped around the UV source' and thereby reflects the uv that has been transmitted through the conduit back through the conduit and is reflected back to the chamber section. In a preferred embodiment, a faucet is provided which is made of a UV reflective material and is positioned such that a portion of the UV radiation is reflected by the faucet onto the outlet and/or inlet of the conduit. Disinfect the water at the outlet and / or at the entrance. In the case of conventional dispensers, microorganisms may enter the outlet at the point of delivery or be present on the faucet itself, and such microorganisms may contaminate water that has previously been sterilized by passing through the UV source. Such microorganisms can be treated by providing a faucet and/or end cap' that is positioned to reflect at least a portion of the radiation from the luminaire to the end of the water conduit or to a portion proximate the end. This greatly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of disinfection and produces better quality drinking water. This also prevents backflow contamination that may introduce microorganisms and contaminants via the dispensing nozzle/faucet. Preferably, the lid has a surface adapted to reflect UV light rays to portions of the catheter that are not wound around the UV source. The cover can have at least one inner surface configured to reflect UV radiation onto at least a portion of the inlet and/or the outlet of the conduit. The reflective inner surface of the cover may be sharpened toward the exit of the catheter. The reflection within the cover 100109306 6 201238908 The surface may include a bottom surface, a top surface, and a side surface extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, wherein at least the side surface and/or the top surface are sharpened toward the outlet. Preferably, the reflective inner surface converges as it extends away from the source of υν. The cover may range in one direction greater than it is in the other direction. The profile of the cover can be substantially fan shaped. In cross section, the cover may have a first curved end of the first radius of curvature and a second, larger radius of curvature ^ the second curved end. These curved ends can be joined by straight sides. The υν source may extend axially within, or partially within, the second curved end, and the outlet of the conduit may be in the first, curved end of the vehicle. Due to the configuration of the sharpened/converging/scaling shape, as the distance from the source increases, the reflected radiation can preferably concentrate toward the point set at the exit of the catheter for effective illumination by the reflected radiation. The outlet of the catheter. The reflective cover preferably provides a reflective path that extends beyond the radial extent of the catheter. The faucet can be positioned such that it reflects uv radiation onto the outlet. The faucet can include a portion of the cover. In any event, the faucet is preferably attached to the cover to form an unbroken refractive path. Preferably, the conduit extends into the faucet but stops at the end of the faucet that has not yet reached so that the outlet of the conduit is recessed relative to the outlet of the faucet. The portion of the conduit that extends into the faucet can be shielded by the faucet from direct radiation from the uv source. Such a device can include a chamber having an internal uv reflecting surface, and the chamber 100109306 7 201238908 is mounted over the wound portion of the catheter thereby reflecting radiation back to the catheter. The chamber can terminate in the lid. Winding can be performed by providing a container/catheter in the form of a spiral or winding that is positioned to be positioned around the source of the υν. The UV source can be one or more UV lamps. Its best is the UVC source. The inlet and outlet of the conduit can be located at the same end of the device or at the opposite end of the device. According to the present invention, in another aspect, an in-line water purification apparatus is provided, comprising: a conduit for water to be purified, the conduit being wound around an elongated UV source and having an outlet; A means of reflection is positioned such that UV radiation is reflected by the reflecting means onto the outlet. A faucet can be provided which has a reflective surface and is positioned to reflect UV onto the outlet. Specific embodiments of the present invention ensure that all water purifier types are purged at the point of delivery while reducing backflow contamination. The invention is particularly useful for ambient, foamed, and cold water or other fluids. Specific examples are also available for use in many other types of liquids, fluids, or other flowable animals. [Embodiment] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows a water dispenser (which may generally be part of the material U that is more commonly referred to as water cooling (4) in office 100109306 8 201238908 or other environments). Water is required to be properly disinfected prior to delivery. Secrets are often secretive. Υν can effectively kill fine 8 and other microorganisms when used at a forward rate (four degrees). Each of these is well known and is not the subject of this patent specification. Note that although the fluid will usually be water, it is for other fluids or beverages. Figure 1 shows a typical UV source in the form of an elongated υν lamp 1. The device has an electrical connector 2' for connecting at the end to the electrical connector and at the other end to the end cap/cover 3, the end cap/cover 3 having an end portion of the lamp 1 Cylindrical stalks 4, 35 丨 are configured to produce Uv radiation of sufficient frequency and intensity to kill sufficient levels of microorganisms to sterilize the water in which they are active according to certain criteria, as will be appreciated in such techniques. Figure 2 shows a catheter or tube in which water is delivered around a lamp. A winding-type (spiral) conduit 7 is shown here, which is connected at one end to a water inlet 5, which in use is positioned such that it is placed around the lamp (which can be in contact with the lamp 1) from the inlet end 5 is wound to the bottom end and is again wound up to the other end thereof, and is connected to the water outlet 6 at the other end. Therefore, the water to be sterilized passes through the winding, and the winding is tightly wound around the UV lamp to thereby sterilize. As shown in Figure 2, the inlet and outlet are preferably disposed at the same end of the water source. Or 'as shown in Figure 15, the inlet 5 and the outlet 6 can be placed at the end opposite the 100109306 9 201238908. Figure 3 shows the outer 5 hood or casing (outer chamber) 8 positioned in the conduit 7 in use. The top of the top and tight IU to the end cap 3, which is generally cylindrically 幵/shaped and has a closed end 9. It is formed of a reflective material such as. Note that the sleeve or guide f 7 will be made of a uv transmissive material, and a preferred embodiment for the preferred use is quartz. The chamber is formed by any material that reflects U V . Although preferred, it can also be reflective other metals, plastics, or other materials. The squirrel reflects the uv light that has passed through the cannula back through the cannula' and thus enhances and improves the sterilization of the fluid within the portion of the cannula between the lamp i and the chamber 8. Cover 3 is also a reflective material and can also be made of inscriptions, steel, or any other reflective material. In particular, as seen from Fig. 3 (4), the extreme portions of the sleeves %, 7c do not form part of the winding-type portion 7a, and are connected to the inlet $ and the outlet 6. However, since the cover is reflective, the cover reflects some of the UV radiation from the UV source 1 to the extreme portions 7b, 7c of the sleeve, and ensures that the υνίι shot remains as the record sleeve f. Any microbe that may be present on the extreme portion of the sleeve that is not directly in the portion of the winding-type portion adjacent to the uv lamp is still subjected to UV disinfection due to UV*|reflection from the end cap or chamber reflection. The end cap can be of any suitable design. As shown, the end caps are preferably cylindrical for maximum effect, but may also have a square or other internal shape. 100109306 201238908 End caps may include baffles, or other portions that are in close proximity to the extreme portions of the cannula, thereby improving sterilization efficiency. The chamber 9 is preferably directly connected to the end cap to avoid leaving a gap or space that would allow UV radiation to escape. As shown in Fig. 3b, the end cap may preferably be closed end shaped and includes a closed end 10 having an opening, aperture, or otherwise shaped to receive the inlet connector 5 and the outlet connector 6. This closed end 1 or end 'wall is also used to reflect UV radiation back towards the sleeve 7. 4 to 8 show alternative examples. This alternative embodiment also includes a uv lamp. The UV lamp can be, for example, nw' but other luminaires can be used. The spiral sarcophagus 12 having a spiral portion similar to the spiral portion of the first embodiment serves as a conduit for the water to be sterilized, and includes a population 13 and an outlet 14 disposed at the same end. The sterilized water enters via the inlet 13 and moves downwards in a helical manner towards the lower end 15 of the casing, and then returns upwards to the outlet 14 in a spiral manner again. The cannula is positioned over the elongate lamp U in a manner similar to the first embodiment of the cannula positioning such that it is actually wrapped around the lamp and sterilizes the water passing through the cannula. ...the reflective chamber or casing Μ is money above the casing 12 and also acts. It is reflected back through the quartz casing to reflect the light, and the uv reflecting chamber or casing 16 can be a can, for example, anodized ) or any other uv reflective metal, plastic, or other material. Please again ^ Yue Dan - person / idea, in any specific case, the sleeve can be quartz or UV transmissive other materials. A plug 17 of diarrhea, rubber, or other material covers the end of the connector of the uv lamp 100109306 11 201238908 having a power supply and control circuitry. The υν reflective cover is mounted at the end of the quartz casing and the end of the outlet' and the chamber 16 of the anodized casing or other material is attached to the end. It is also typically aluminum (such as anodized aluminum) or other materials having the desired reflective properties. It includes a recess, an aperture, or other portion, or is shaped to receive the inlet and outlet of the quartz sleeve, and, in this particular embodiment, also houses means for receiving the hot water supply conduit 18. In a preferred embodiment, the water applied to the sterilization unit can be cold (i.e., frozen) water or ambient temperature water and can be stationary or foamed. In this specific example and some other specific examples, a faucet 19 is provided. The head contains an outlet 14 from a quartz sleeve that extends to some extent into the faucet. The faucet 19 is also a υν reflective material and is typically stainless steel, but can be any metallic or plastic material that is reflective. The outlet 14 from the casing includes an elbow 14a which is generally at right angles or near right angles and the end portion of the elbow extends into the faucet. Because the faucet 19 is a reflective material, the faucet in combination with the end cap 17 also reflects some of the UV radiation from the luminaire directly to the outlet 14, and thus, any bacteria or other microorganisms that may be present at the faucet. disinfection. The reflective end cap 17 maximizes UV intensity because υν light is reflected inside the chamber 16. As described, the cavity is brought to the end; the UV is directed to the end portion of the sleeve. The package 100109306 12 201238908 includes & wall 24' and the end wall 24 can be spaced a distance from the end of the side wall u. Moreover, the means for receiving the hot water supply conduit 18 is typically located on the end wall, as shown in FIG. Shown.埶汆 Pigeons Therefore, in this specific example: water plum, ^ length to the faucet μ. Head—Right, Figure 8(4) and Figure 8(b) show the cold/surround water outlet 14 that extends into the faucet. These patterns show that the mouth is exposed to the side of the faucet, flying there, and the UV is reflected back to the heart, thereby having a UV disinfecting property f that can be used to affect the microorganisms (if any) at the σ. Figure 8(b) shows that the chamber or housing 16 can have an end with a thread or other means for coupling to the cooperating threads (f) 14 on the aluminum cover 17. It can be connected by other means, ^, between the outer casing and the cover, preferably with a reliable, unbroken connection, to (4) the best UV efficiency. In Figure 8(b), the thread is labeled 2〇. Fig. 15 shows a fifth specific example of the present invention. This specific example is very similar to the invention exemplified in items 4 to 8 of the patent application, but the inlet 13 and the outlet 14 are located at different ends of the winding 12. Figure 4 shows a typical end cap 17. The end cap 17 may include an inlet, an aperture, or a hollow projection 21 that houses the inlet rim 3 of the quartz sleeve, and a slit 22 that receives the outlet 14 of the sleeve. This figure also shows the threaded portion 23 which cooperates with the threaded end 2G and end face 24 of the chamber. As described, it has other configurations. Figure 7 shows the manner in which UV radiation is emitted towards the end turns 17, while the uv-distributed 100109306 13 201238908 is reflected from the end cap i7. 9 to 12 show another specific example. The function of this specific example is similar to that of the second specific example described above. It is also provided with a helical (spiral) core sleeve 30' as previously described, having an inlet 31 and an outlet 32 at the same end. The sleeve is mounted above a UV lamp and the end 33 of the UV lamp is shown in Figure 11 and the chamber or cover 34 is placed over the end of the anodized aluminum or other reflective material. The outer chamber is preferably stainless steel that provides a suitable level of reflectivity. The inner surface can be polished to maximize its reflectivity. A reflective end cap 35 is also provided, but in this embodiment, the end cap has a generally fan-shaped shape but has a curved end section 'as shown in FIG. 1 〇, FIG. 12(a) and FIG. 12(b). Clearly shown as shown, 'this end cap 35 has two straight walls 36, 37' and the two straight walls 36, 37 are converged to a first curved end 38' having a relatively small radius of curvature and 'in another One end, joined by another curved end 39 having a larger radius of curvature, thus forming a curved sector or wedge shape, as best shown in Figure 12(a). The straight walls 36, 37 and the curved ends 38 and 39 together form a side that extends from the top surface formed by the end plate or cover 40 and is formed by protrusions or extensions 42 (described below) Between the bottom surfaces. It is believed that such surfaces (in combination) include a reflective inner surface of the cover 35 as shown clearly in the figures which are sharpened toward the exit of the catheter. In other words, the inner surface converges as it extends away from the UV source. This situation provides the benefit that the reflected radiation is concentrated toward the outlet of the faucet 43 and the conduit located therein at 100109306 14 201238908. This concentrated set of reflected radiation is illustrated in Figure 12(b), while Figure 12(b) shows a partial cross-sectional view of the end cap 35. Mounting means or tweezers 60 are provided for mounting the chamber 34 to the end cap 35, however, in alternative embodiments, such members may be omitted or disposed externally to provide a smooth reflective inner surface. An end plate or cover 40 covers the end of the end cap away from the end of the chamber/casing. The end cap is also a UV reflective material, typically the same material as the cover of any other metal or plastic material that may be aluminum or have suitable reflective properties. The end plate or cover member 40 can also be sharpened toward the outlet of the catheter, as shown at 40a in Figure 12(c), in which case the side walls 36, 37 and the curved end 38 are chamfered to A sharpened cover 40 is received. This further contributes to the reflection of the IR Han towards the faucet. Although a particular shape is shown, any suitable shape, cylindrical or non-cylindrical, or other shape (including such as an elongated shape) can be used. The purpose of these shapes will be described below. It should be noted that in this case, as previously mentioned, the chamber 34 includes a generally cylindrical portion 41, but also includes a laterally extending portion to the cylindrical portion (faucet) 43 at its open end. For example, a protrusion or extension 42, as shown in Figure 11, which in use accommodates the outlet 32 from the water jacket 30 and is large enough to accommodate the outlet 13. This will preferably be formed as a one-piece chamber unit, although such portions may be separated from 100109306 15 201238908, but the cylindrical portion 41 and at least the second cylindrical projection 43 (accommodating the outlet from the casing) shall be Reflective material for UV. This extended hollow cylindrical portion 43 serves as a faucet. The portion of the conduit that is within the faucet 43 is shielded by the faucet from direct radiation. The outlet of the conduit is recessed from the end of the faucet to prevent contamination. In an alternative configuration, a separate faucet can be attached thereto, and the faucet is also reflective. The rubber stopper 56 is mounted on the cover, and, in this embodiment, the rubber stopper is substantially circular, the radius of which matches the curved portion 39 of the end cap, and the rubber stopper includes a connection for electrical connection to the lamp. The orifice 51 of the end 33. The rubber plug also includes an aperture 52 for the inlet 31 of the core sleeve. A spacer 53 can be provided to space the bottom end 54 of the sleeve from the closed end 55 of the chamber. This spacer can be, for example, rubber. Therefore, in this embodiment, the UV is also reflected by the end cap, acting on the microorganisms present at the outlet of the sleeve (and also at the inlet), and the faucet is a reflective material and is formed by the end cap. Reflective surface helps disinfect. Figure 16 shows the sterilizing device, as in the third embodiment, mounted to the inside of the water dispensing machine 60. Water enters through the inlet 31, is sterilized, and is then delivered to the outside of the machine via the faucet. Fig. 17 illustrates another specific example. This sixth embodiment is very similar to the above-described third embodiment, but the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 are provided at the opposite ends of the device. UV radiation or UV monitors can be used to control UV radiation. 100109306 16 201238908 It should be noted that 'any different shape/configuration of components, lamps, conduits, other components' may be used in any particular embodiment of the invention. Fig. 18 shows a specific example in which the catheter 7 has an inlet and an outlet, but there may be any number of _bends (self-up numbers) around a few specific shots of the catheter provided with the burning lamp. In the real money shown in Figure μ, the person π and the exit are at the opposite ends of the device, but it should be clear that these inlets and outlets can be placed at the same end of the device. Fig. 19 shows a specific example in which specific mirror faces 4, 41 are provided. In the particular example illustrated in Figure 19, the mirrors are disposed at the end caps and positioned in a "periscope" configuration to reflect UV radiation from the first direction A by 9 turns. Then, reflect 90 in direction B. In the direction - a reflects 9 〇. , guide it to the faucet area F. Of course, only one mirror, or two or more mirrors may be provided, and it may be configured to reflect radiation at any particular angle or combination of angles. Rather than having a reflective end cap, such specific examples may be provided with such mirrors, and in some embodiments, such mirrors may be formed as part of a reflective configuration (in a separate reflective configuration) having other reflective portions. Of course, this mirror should be made of a material that reflects UV radiation or has a surface that reflects uv radiation. Figure 20 shows an arrangement in which the tube or conduit 7 is not helically wound, but rather in a series of straight lines in a generally longitudinal direction relative to the axis of the UV lamp. In their entirety, the parallel lines (which do not have to be completely parallel to one another) are actually still wrapped around the lamp 'but longitudinal rather than lateral. This example can also be used in any specific example. In some other specific examples, the catheter can have one or more turns 100109306 17 201238908 curved, in combination with one or more longitudinally configured portions. Another embodiment includes a helical configuration that extends downwardly from the entrance at one end to a distal end with a plurality of helical turns, and then a single return line that is not wound around the uv source returns to the general The exit at the same end. Although most of the specific examples above include a single luminaire, more than one luminaire may be present. For example, there may be two lamps in series or in parallel, and 'the lamps may be arranged to be longitudinally spaced apart (as shown very schematically in Figure 22), parallel, or possibly have such as 90 therebetween. Or another angle of view. Figure 23 shows schematically two lamps in parallel. In addition to being parallel, in some embodiments, two or more lamps that are themselves wound together may be provided. Many other configurations and deployments and numbers of luminaires will be apparent in the present invention. The above specific examples include containers in the form of conduits (e.g., tubes or pipes). In other embodiments, water may simply be supplied to the sump, and the sump encloses or partially surrounds the (or other) UV source. This is shown in Figure 24. The UV lamp 1 is disposed inside the water sump 42, the water enters through the inlet 43 and is captured via the outlet 44, and is also provided with a reflective end cap or other means of reflection 45 for reflecting some of the UV radiation to the outlet. Accordingly, the present invention is not only applicable to water (or any other fluid or flowable substance) remaining in a conduit or tube (four) specific example, but also to any specific example in which water is retained in a container, the container including a storage tank, a reservoir, Tubes, catheters, or other devices that maintain these substances in 100109306 201238908. The invention is also applicable to many other fields, for other fluids or flowable substances, including many different beverages, medical applications (for disinfecting substances or disinfecting pharmaceuticals), other industries where disinfection of flowable substances is necessary, Aquarium or pond cleaning or other applications, shower heads (where pure water can be dispensed), nursing homes, hospitals, catering, laboratories and other environmental, electronic industries (for example, for handling solder or other materials). A device embodying the present invention can be incorporated into a device such as a water chiller where water has been initially filtered or sterilized (possibly by another uv system). In such systems, it can be incorporated, for example, at the exit/distribution end. Many different types of containers can be used, such as the catheter (tube), sump, or other type of container in question.
