Ultraviolet lamp

Abstract

An ultraviolet lamp is comprised of a lamp that transmits the ultraviolet and an electrode that is embedded in the lamp lumen and produces the ultraviolet, or a non-electrode lamp where the substance embedded in the lamp sleeve produces the ultraviolet by microwave; in addition, an indicator is installed on the lamp to transfer the ultraviolet into visible light. This indicator is able to transfer the ultraviolet into colored visible light when the ultraviolet lamp works and the existence and strength of the ultraviolet are directly observed through observation on the color shades or the emitted character or sign.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Further structure, installation, and desirable features of the invention will be better understood from the detailed description and drawings that follows in which various embodiments of the disclosed invention are illustrated by way of example.

The ultraviolet lamp of the invention is comprised of a lamp that is able to emit the ultraviolet and a substance such as mercury or its substitute that is embedded inside the lamp and produces the ultraviolet by the electrode or microwave. In addition, an indicator is installed on any part of the said lamp and is able to transfer the ultraviolet into colored visible light. Consequently, the existence and strength of the ultraviolet become observable in the work without the help of any instruments.

Specifically, FIG. 1 is a structural view of the first embodiment of the invention—an ultraviolet lamp 10, which is comprised of a sleeve-typed lamp 11 and lamp-holders 12 on both ends of the lamp 11. The connection of the lamp-holder 12 and the lamp 11 is hermetic. The electrode 122 is embedded inside the lamp 11 and is extended to the outside of the lamp 11 to connect with the electric conduction pin 121. In addition, the indicators 20 are installed on the walls at both ends of the lamp 11. In addition, such installation rarely affects the utilization of the ultraviolet.

FIG. 2 is a structural view of the second embodiment of the invention—an ultraviolet lamp 10′, which is comprised of two sleeve-shape lamps 11′ and one shared lamp-holder 12′ on one end of the lamp 11′. The connection of the lamp-holder 12′ and the lamp 11′ is hermetic. The electrode 122′ is embedded in the lumen of the lamp 11′ and is extended to the outside of the lamp 11′ to connect with the electric conduction pin 121′. Furthermore, each lamp 11′ has an electrode 122′ on the end attached to the lamp-holder and the indicators 20′ are installed on both ends of the lamp 11, which rarely affects the utilization of the ultraviolet.

FIG. 3 is a structural view of the third embodiment of the invention—an ultraviolet lamp 10″, which is comprised of one sleeve-type lamp 11″ and one lamp-holder 12″ on one end of the lamp 11″. The connection of the lamp-holder 12″ and the lamp 11″ is hermetic. The electrode 122″ is embedded in the lumen of the lamp 11″ and is extended to the outside of the lamp 11″ to connect with the electric conduction pin 121″. Furthermore, the lamp 11″ has an indicator 20″ on the wall where the electrode 122″ is installed; this rarely affects the utilization of the ultraviolet.

From the forgoing embodiments, the indicator 20, 20′, 20″ is a substance such as fluorescent powder that is able to change ultraviolet energy into visible light of various colors in different shades. When the ultraviolet lamp 10, 10′, 10″ works, the ultraviolet produced by the electrode 122, 122′, 122″ radiates on the fluorescent powder so as to make the existence and strength of the ultraviolet directly observable.

The lamp of the ultraviolet lamp of the invention may be of sleeve types per FIGS. 1 to 3, or other shapes per FIGS. 4 to 6. The sleeve-type lamp may have no electrode, the said indicator is installed on any end near the sleeve-type lamp. The ultraviolet lamp may be of the non-electrode type, which means one or several ultraviolet-emission lamps have to be vacuum-sealed with a certain quantity of mercury.

The ultraviolet of the ultraviolet lamp of the invention may be produced while the microwaves ionize the mercury or its substitute that is embedded in the lamp sleeve.

The indicator of the ultraviolet lamp of the invention comprises the substance that is able to transfer ultraviolet energy into colored visible light.

In order to strengthen the observation effects, a substance, which is able to strengthen the light or adjust the spectrum, is painted or installed between the indicator 20, 20′, 20″ and the lamp 11, 11′, 11″.

In order to directly observe the strength of the ultraviolet, the color match 30, 30′, 30″ (as shown per FIGS. 1 to 3) of color shades is installed on the outer surface or inner surface of the lamp 11, 11′, 11″ and by the side of indicator 20, 20′, 20″. The strength of the ultraviolet can be directly observed through comparing visible light to the said color match 30, 30′, 30″.

New characteristics and advantages of the invention covered by this document have been set forth in the foregoing description. Understanding is sought however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration only and not intended to be a definition of the limits of the invention.
