Abstract
An ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module and an air conditioner including a UV sterilization module are provided. The UV sterilization module may include a porous main body; a plurality of UV lamps having external electrodes; a plurality of conductive holders connected to the external electrodes and that supports the plurality of UV lamps to be spaced from the porous main body; and at least one bus bar connected to the plurality of conductive holders and provided between the plurality of conductive holders and the porous main body.
Claims26
A ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module, comprising:
- a porous main body;
- a plurality of UV lamps having external electrodes;
- a plurality of conductive holders connected to the external electrodes and that supports the plurality of UV lamps to be spaced from the porous main body;
- and
- at least one bus bar connected to the plurality of conductive holders and provided between the plurality of conductive holders and the porous main body.
A ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module, comprising:
- a main body;
- at least one UV lamp supported to be spaced from the main body;
- a conductive module that supports the at least one UV lamp;
- and
- an insulating member provided between the main body and the conductive module, wherein the main body includes:
- an air hole portion having a plurality of holes that allows air to pass therethrough and onto which UV rays emitted by the at least one UV lamp are radiated;
- and
- a mounting portion that provides a path through which power is supplied to the at least one UV lamp.
A ultraviolet (UV) sterilization module, comprising:
- a porous main body;
- at least one UV lamp spaced from the porous main body;
- at least one holder that supports the at least one UV lamp and provided on the porous main body;
- and
- a water-proof seal that surrounds the at least one holder and an external electrode of the at least one UV lamp.
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a main body having an air inlet and an air outlet;
- and
- a UV sterilization module provided in the main body, wherein the UV sterilization module includes:
- a main body;
- at least one UV lamp provided spaced from the main body;
- an insulating member provided on the main body;
- and
- at least one conductive module provided on the insulating member and that supports the at least one UV lamp.
A ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer, comprising:
- a porous main body;
- a plurality of UV lamps arranged side by side and each having first and second external electrodes;
- a plurality of conductive holders connected to the first and second external electrodes and that supports the plurality of UV lamps to be spaced from the porous main body;
- at least one bus bar connected to the plurality of conductive holders and provided between the plurality of conductive holders and the porous main body;
- and
- an insulating member arranged between the porous main body and the at least one bus bar.
