Abstract

The present invention provides a combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus, comprising a chamber having an inlet and an outlet as well as a blower/fan provided in the chamber. Ultraviolet lamps are mounted in the lumen of the chamber. The lumen of the chamber is divided by a plurality of bafflers having pores. The pores in the adjacent bafflers are arranged to stagger up and down or from side to side. A mesh plate is provided at the pore. The top and bottom plates of the chamber can be flipped open. The baffler is inserted in the slots in the inner side of the front and back plates. The top and bottom plates have the pore and a cover plate which are both covered by a shield. At least one of the bafflers has a pore, and is provided with a one-way openable valve. The blower is mounted at the pore of the baffler. The chamber and the bafflers are coated with a layer of titanium dioxide. According to the present invention, it is possible to add, remove, or replace the baffler, the filter mesh, the blower or the purifying accessories and the like. The one-way openable valve can prevent the polluted water or air from flowing backwards. Further the to and fro winding disinfecting and sterilizing path prolongs the disinfecting and sterilizing process and increases the duration. With the photocatalytic effect of titanium dioxide, the organic substances are effectively decomposed, the dirt is eliminated, and deodorization and sterilization achieved. As a result, an ideal effect of disinfection and sterilization is achieved.

Claims (12)

1. A combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus, comprising a chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the chamber including a blower mounted therein, wherein the blower and the chamber are coated with a layer of titanium dioxide, a lumen of the chamber including an ultraviolet lamp, mounted therein wherein the lumen of the chamber between the inlet and the outlet is divided by at least one baffler, the at least one baffler blocking fluid flow across the lumen from the inlet toward the outlet past the at least one baffler except through a pore disposed offset from a centerline of the lumen, each of the at least one baffler being inserted in a slot provided in the inner side of a front and a back plate of the chamber, a titanium dioxide photocatalyst filter mesh being provided at the pore.

2. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pore of the baffler is positioned in the upper portion or the lower portion of the baffler and the pores in adjacent bafflers are arranged to stagger up and down.

3. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pore of the baffler is positioned in a left portion or a right portion of the baffler and the pores in adjacent bafflers are arranged to stagger from side to side.

4. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the slot of the baffler is an inclined slot.

5. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a middle portion of the baffler is in wave shape, a surface of the baffler having distributed thereon titanium dioxide nails.

6. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the baffler is provided with at least one of a positive ion, negative ion, and ionization generator.

7. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet lamp is mounted midway inside at least one of the top plate and the bottom plate of the chamber with the lamp tube horizontally inserted in at least one of the upper and lower midway-indentations of the baffler.

8. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the blower is of the type of a pig cage or a blade.

9. A combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus comprising:

a chamber having an inlet and an outlet the chamber including a blower mounted therein, wherein the blower and the chamber are coated with a layer of titanium dioxide, a lumen of the chamber including an ultraviolet lamp, mounted therein wherein the lumen of the chamber between the inlet and the outlet is divided by at least one baffler, the baffler inserted in a slot provided in the inner side of a front and a back plate of the chamber, the baffler including a pore provided with a titanium dioxide photocatalyst filter mesh, wherein at least one top plate and/or at least one bottom plate have pores and a cover plate wherein the pores and the cover plate of the at least one top plate and/or at least one bottom plate are covered by a shield fixed to at least one of the top plate and the bottom plate, and the cover plate is provided with a raised-cover plate screw passing through the shield.

10. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the pore in one of the bafflers is provided with a one-way openable valve .

11. The combined labyrinthine fluid sterilizing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the blower is mounted at the pore of the baffler.
