Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of lights, particularly to a UV light.

BackgroundStrong-UV lights refer to medium-power or large-power UV lights whose power is above 20W. Their strong UV rays can achieve good sterilization and disinfection effects, can also bring bigger damage to human bodies.

In existing technologies, to prevent strong UV rays of lights from irradiating human bodies, UV rays are usually designed into a large-dimension cabinet structure by adding sealing or shielding parts around the UV light source, fan, control power supply, optical subassembly or other functional components and parts. Such parts are usually set in different cavities, leading to repeated multi-layer protection. The design scheme of repeated protection will lead to a complex structure and a bigger volume of the light. Also, the main structure of existing UV lights is not suitable for deriving different types of UV lights, and it is hard to realize unification of key parts of different types of UV lights.

The foregoing content is only used for assisting in understanding the technical scheme of the present invention, but does not mean the acknowledgement that the above content is the prior art.

SUMMARY

The straight-tube UV light provided by the present invention comprises:

• a light body of a hollow tubular structure provided in a straight line, defined as that the length of the light body extends from the left to the right, height extends from the up to the bottom and width extends from the front to the back;
• end covers, including the first end cover and the second end cover provided on the left end and the right end of the light body, the first end cover, the second end cover and the light body enclosing to form a mounting cavity, the first end cover and the second end cover respectively provided with the first air hole and the second air hole connecting to the mounting cavity;
• a functional subassembly comprising at least the first light source subassembly and the control power supply, the functional subassembly is wholly provided in the mounting cavity, the control power connecting to the first light source subassembly, the control power supply used for controlling UV rays irradiated by the first light source subassembly for sterilization and disinfection.

Other characteristics and corresponding beneficial effects of the present invention are elaborated in the latter part of the description.

The solving ideas of technical problems of the present invention and relevant product design solutions are as shown below:

The light body of the UV light is designed into a straight tubular structure. The light body is of a hollow tubular structure in a straight line shape. Each of two ends of the light body is provided with an end cover, the light body and two ends cover enclose each to form a mounting cavity that serves as the main structure of the light. Functional components and parts (i.e. functional subassemblies) like the UV light source, fan, control power supply or optical modules are provided in the mounting cavity. All the functional components and parts are protected, stored and mounted in a unified way via the main structure to significantly reduce the volume of the light, simplify the protective structure of the light and improve the sealing property of the product. Functional components and parts are mounted in the mounting cavity, by which components and parts are less likely to be exposed, and then the appearance of the light is more concise and beautiful.

Additionally, under such a straight-tube UV light design scheme, functional components and parts are harder to mount due to the thin and long space of the tubular light body, but the light can derivate different lengths and power sizes of UV lights as well as different types of UV lights (for example, ventilation-type UV lights can be derived into upper-layer flat irradiation UV light or direct irradiation UV light.

Definition and characteristics of different types of UV lights:

(1) Direct irradiation UV light: The light directly exposes UV rays to an open environment for sterilization and disinfection of object surfaces and air, achieving a high sterilization and disinfection effect; however, people should not stay in the sterilization environment when the light is working, so the safety performance is low.

(2) Ventilation-type UV light: Such lights inhale air into the enclosed light cavity, after UV sterilization and disinfection in the light cavity, sterilized air is exhausted out of the light to finish air sterilization and disinfection and ventilation. They are mainly used for air disinfection. People do not need to leave the sterilization place when such lights are working, so people can be protected from the damage of UV rays, man-machine symbiosis can be realized, and the safety performance is high; however, the sterilization efficiency is low, noises are likely to occur during ventilation, and products are usually designed into large-size cabinets, so they have a large volume and a heavy weight.

(3) Upper-layer flat irradiation UV light: By mounting the UV light to an upper space that is 2.1 m above the ground or floor, the UV light can irradiate UV rays horizontally to sterilize and disinfect the upper space. During disinfection with the light, people can act in the lower space below 2.1 m, and do need to leave the sterilization place, enabling a high safety level. However, the product is usually designed into a large-size cabinet structure featured with a big volume and heavy weight.

During implementation of the product, the light body can be made of aluminum alloy profile that is easy to cut into different lengths. To facilitate installation of corresponding parts into a thin and long space, the inner surface of the light body is provided with a chute structure. The UV light source, control power supply or optical subassembly can be mounted onto the support in advance, and then the support is pushed to the corresponding position along the chute to realize assembly of corresponding parts. All the parts can be mounted with different supports, and can share one support. When the UV light is provided with a fan, the fan can be fixed on to the end cover in advance, and then the end cover can be fixed onto the end of the light to realize mounting of the fan. For example, the end cover is provided with a mounting column, the fan is fixed onto the mounting column, which can reduce noises caused by vibration of the fan arising from installation of the fan onto the support.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the UV light is an upper-layer flat irradiation UV light, the front side of the light body is provided with a light outlet. The mounting cavity opposite to the light outlet is provided with a grating subassembly that distributes light to make the UV rays emit in the horizontal direction. Both the front side and the rear side of the light body can be provided with a light outlet. The front light outlet and the rear light outlet are provided with a grating subassembly. The light is designed into an upper-layer flat irradiation UV light that can emit light in two opposite directions.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the UV light is a ventilation-type UV light, there is no additional opening on the upper surface, lower surface, front surface or rear surface of the light body, and either of the first air hole and or the second air hole serves as the air inlet, and the other serves as the air outlet. And, the corresponding position of the first air hole and the second air hole is provided with an anti-exposure structure (e.g. the filter structure 24 and baffle 3 in the embodiment), avoiding leakage of UV rays in the mounting cavity and improving the service safety of the light.

As shown in FIG. 24, the UV light enables properties of both the ventilation-type UV sterilization and the direct irradiation UV sterilization. This direct irradiation scheme may be direct UV sterilization or direct lighting. The lower side of the light body is provided with the second opening, and the light body is provided with a dismountable second cover plate for sealing the second opening. The second cover plate is elongated. After opening the second cover plate, components and parts inside the mounting cavity can be easily mounted or dismounted, including the first light source subassembly and the control power supply. This is another scheme for mounting functional components and parts inside a small thin and long space. Functional components and parts can be mounted onto the upper surface of the second cover plate or the inner surface of the light body. The lower surface of the second cover plate is provided with the second light source module. The first light source module applies UV light source. The second light source module applies UV light source or white light source to emit corresponding UV rays or visible light.

Among the above-mentioned several types of UV lights, the first end cover, the second end cover, fan, UV light source, control power supply, support and other key parts can be designed into common standard parts. And, the light body can be made of aluminum profile. Except the light outlet on the light body or the second outlet that needs post-processing, the dimensions and structure of the chute and other mounting components inside the light may be unified to realize unified standards of the light mold. Such a straight-tube UV light straight-tube UV light design scheme is very suitable for standardizing parts of different types of lights, by which the cost can be significantly reduced via batch production, strong-UV lights may be widely applied by common civil sterilization, solving some existing industry problems like big volume and expensive price of strong-UV lights. Such a design scheme has a new application prospect.
