DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, the following embodiment specifically describes an air filtration and sterilization device, including: a main housing, and the main housing is provided with an air flow path for air to circulate. The air inlet end of the air flow path is provided with a filter assembly, and the air outlet end of the air flow path is connected to a fan 200. An air containing cavity 100 is provided between the filter assembly and the fan 200, and a pulse flashing unit 300 is provided in the air containing cavity 100. The pulse flashing unit 300 includes a charging circuit 301 connected to an external power supply, and the current output by the charging circuit 301 passes through a capacitor 302 and a discharging circuit 303 in sequence, and then inputs to the inert gas lamp 304. The external power supply is a mains supply or a battery. The working principle is specifically described as follows. When the power of the air filtration and sterilization device is turned on, the fan 103 runs, and the external air passes through the filter assembly and enters into the air containing cavity 100 under the action of the fan 103. The pulse flashing unit 300 in the air containing cavity 100 generates strong white light to irradiate the air in the air containing cavity 100 to kill bacteria therein, and finally the irradiated air is finally output by the fan 103. Therefore, the process of filtering and sterilizing the air is completed.

[0016] The working principle of the pulse flashing unit 300 is described as follows. The charging circuit 301 receives the current input from the external power supply and charges the capacitor 302. When the capacitor 302 is fully charged, the discharging circuit 303 drives the capacitor 302 to release a large current in an instant to drive the inert gas lamp 304 to emit a brief and intense white light.

[0017] In the embodiment, the pulsed strong light sterilization technology is adopted to effectively sterilize the air passing through the air containing cavity 100. The pulsed strong light sterilization technology is a world-leading light source technology, in which the pulse engineering technology for instantaneous discharging and a special inert gas lamp are adopted to stimulate strong white light in the form of pulses. The spectral distribution of the strong white light is similar to sunlight, and the light intensity thereof is equivalent to thousands or even tens of thousands of times the intensity of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth. In the pulsed strong light sterilization technology, instantaneous and high-intensity pulsed light energy is adopted to kill all kinds of microorganisms, thereby making up for the shortcomings of traditional heat sterilization and chemical sterilization. Moreover, due to the characteristics of short sterilization treatment time, the pulsed strong light sterilization technology is especially suitable for the working environment of air filtration sterilization equipment with high air fluidity.

[0018] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, the following embodiment specifically describes an air filtration and sterilization device, including: a main housing, and the main housing is provided with an air flow path for air to circulate. The air inlet end of the air flow path is provided with a filter assembly, and the air outlet end of the air flow path is connected to a fan 200. An air containing cavity 100 is provided between the filter assembly and the fan 200, and a pulse flashing unit 300 is provided in the air containing cavity 100. The pulse flashing unit 300 includes a charging circuit 301 connected to an external power supply, and the current output by the charging circuit 301 passes through a capacitor 302 and a discharging circuit 303 in sequence, and then inputs to the inert gas lamp 304. The external power supply is a mains supply or a battery. The working principle is specifically described as follows. When the power of the air filtration and sterilization device is turned on, the fan 103 runs, and the external air passes through the filter assembly and enters into the air containing cavity 100 under the action of the fan 103. The pulse flashing unit 300 in the air containing cavity 100 generates strong white light to irradiate the air in the air containing cavity 100 to kill bacteria therein, and the irradiated air is finally output by the fan 103. Therefore, the process of filtering and sterilizing the air is completed.

[0019] The working principle of the pulse flashing unit 300 is described as follows. The charging circuit 301 receives the current input from the external power supply and charges the capacitor 302. When the capacitor 302 is fully charged, the discharging circuit 303 drives the capacitor 302 to release a large current in an instant to drive the inert gas lamp 304 to emit a brief and intense white light.

[0020] In the present invention, the pulsed strong light sterilization technology is adopted to effectively sterilize the air passing through the air containing cavity 100. The pulsed strong light sterilization technology is a world-leading light source technology, in which the pulse engineering technology for instantaneous discharging and a special inert gas lamp are adopted to stimulate strong white light in the form of pulses. The spectral distribution of the strong white light is similar to sunlight, and the light intensity thereof is equivalent to thousands or even tens of thousands of times the intensity of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of short sterilization treatment time, the pulsed strong light sterilization technology is especially suitable for the working environment of air filtration sterilization equipment with high air fluidity.

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 4-7, the following embodiment specifically describes an air filtration and sterilization device, including: a main housing, and the main housing is provided with an air flow path for air to circulate. The air inlet end of the air containing cavity 100 is provided with a fan 200, and a rear end of the fan 200 is provided with a filter assembly. The air containing cavity 100 is provided at the air outlet end of the air flow path, and a pulse flashing unit 300 is provided in the air containing cavity 100. The pulse flashing unit 300 includes a charging circuit 301 connected to an external power supply, and the current output by the charging circuit 301 passes through a capacitor 302 and a discharging circuit 303 in sequence, and then inputs to the inert gas lamp 304. The external power supply is a mains supply or a battery. The working principle is specifically described as follows. When the power of the air filtration and sterilization device is turned on, the fan 103 runs, and the external air passes through the filter assembly and enters into the air containing cavity 100 under the action of the fan 103. The pulse flashing unit 300 in the air containing cavity 100 generates strong white light to irradiate the air in the air containing cavity 100 to kill bacteria therein, and the irradiated air is finally output by the air outlet end of the air containing cavity 100.

[0022] In the present invention, each of the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the air containing cavity 100 is covered with a light-blocking assembly 400, and the light-blocking assembly 400 is composed of more than two light barriers 401, and a space for air to pass is provided between two adjacent light barriers 401. The light barriers 401 are inclined to a light emitting surface of the inert gas lamp 304. Two light-blocking assemblies 400 are arranged between the filter assembly and the fan 103, to effectively prevent the strong light from leaking out of the main housing and causing damage to the user's eyes. A louvered structure is formed between two adjacent light barriers 401, which can effectively ensure that the air can smoothly pass through the gas containing cavity 100 while preventing the leakage of strong light.

[0023] In the present invention, the number of the pulse flashing unit 300 is more than one, and the pulse flashing unit 300 is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the air containing cavity 100. Specifically, the number of the pulse flashing units 300 can be increased or decreased according to actual conditions. When the air circulation speed is relatively fast, the number of the pulse flashing units 300 can be set to two, and each pulse flashing unit 300 flashes in sequence, thereby effectively shortening the flash cycle.

[0024] In the embodiment, a lamp shade 305 is provided on the outside of the inert gas lamp 304, and the lamp shade 305 is used to adjust the direction of light emission, thereby effectively improving the working efficiency of the product.

[0025] In the present invention, the surface of the light barrier 401 is coated with a light-absorbing material. Specifically, the light-absorbing material refers to a material that absorbs light and then diffusely reflects part of the light. When light shines on the light-absorbing material, there is no transmission outside of the illumination, nor does it produce mapping, large flares and reflections.

[0026] In the embodiment, the filter assembly is composed of more than two layers of filter screens 500. Through the cooperation of the multi-layer filter screen 500, the filter assembly can obtain a better filtering effect. Specifically, each filter screen 500 can have the same or different filtering function. The filter screen 500 can include: a pre-filter, an ozone-removing filter, an activated carbon filter, a first high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, a formaldehyde removal filter, a sterilization filter, a second high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and other air purification filters.

[0027] In the present invention, the inert gas lamp 304 is a xenon lamp. The xenon lamp refers to a bulb filled with an inert gas mixture including xenon.
