FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention relates to the technical field of Ultra violet wall light. More particularly, the present invention disclose to a human coexisting ultraviolet irradiation system for disinfecting air on the upper layer of a space.

BACKGROUND ART
Ultraviolet rays are generally classified into 3 types by wavelength: the long-wave ultraviolet rays with the wavelength of 315nm to 380nm are abbreviated as UVA, the medium-wave ultraviolet rays with the wavelength of 280nm to 315nm are abbreviated as UVB, and the short-wave ultraviolet rays with the wavelength of 200nm to 280nm are abbreviated as UVC. Most of the currently available ultraviolet disinfection lamps utilize UVC ultraviolet rays to achieve disinfection. The ultraviolet ray can kill various microorganisms including bacteria propagules, spores, mycobacteria, viruses, fungi, rickettsia, mycoplasma and the like, and has broad spectrum. The disinfection mechanisms of ultraviolet light include the destruction of genetic material, affecting enzyme activity, and the destruction of proteins leading to the death of bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms.

Ultraviolet bacteria disinfection can be used in many scenes, and is generally classified into three main categories, namely air disinfection, water disinfection and surface disinfection. Pathogenic microorganisms that are primarily airborne, such as influenza virus (flu), rhinovirus (common cold), and the more dangerous pathogens (tuberculosis), are responsible for many diseases. Mold and spores are also lodged in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) building structural systems, causing many diseases. Such as building related diseases (BRI). In order to reduce the occurrence of diseases, air disinfection systems may be installed inside air conditioners, air purifiers, and consumer devices. Deep ultraviolet lamps can be installed in filtration systems, humidifier water tanks, and small portable consumer devices in household HVAC ventilation ducts. Because the wavelength of the deep ultraviolet can penetrate through the air to kill bacteria carried in the air, the deep ultraviolet has extremely strong disinfection effect. Deep ultraviolet lamp not only can disinfect to air itself, can also help filter equipment to keep clean through preventing mycotic breeding and pollution.

Currently employed air disinfection devices include devices used in the absence of a human carrying a source of ultraviolet light. These devices need to be used without a person, cannot coexist, and are not practical especially in a full-size hospital or an isolated ward. And often the size is huge, and the transportation is inconvenient.

The air disinfection apparatus currently in use also includes suspended ceilings and floor mounted fixtures fitted with ultraviolet light sources, typically mercury lamps as shown in Fig 1. These fixtures prevent UV radiation from entering the human eye, by confining the UV radiation to an enclosed area or location not visible to the human eye, and by introducing air into the enclosed area inside the fixture for disinfection by air circulation. But this directly affects the disinfection efficiency of the device.

In order to achieve direct disinfection of the air in the enclosed space by ultraviolet light and avoid excessive ultraviolet radiation in the lower part of the room (i.e. the part of the room where a person is present), it is desirable to implement an ultraviolet device that can control the ultraviolet radiation height, range, and dose (the dose is the product of power per unit area of radiation and radiation time). Air in an area below the ceiling and above a certain height from the floor is disinfected by direct ultraviolet radiation. Proper airflow exchange will of course be beneficial to the disinfection effect of the device, but the range of direct irradiation is much greater than the range of air suction into the device for internal disinfection, and therefore the efficiency is greatly improved.

On the other hand, when severe infectious disease people and medical care personnel who enter a room need to be disinfected quickly and thoroughly in special cases, an ultraviolet device which can directly irradiate a designated place such as a doorway, a hospital bed, a patient, an operating table, medical equipment and the like must be used. The ultraviolet radiation intensity, angle and irradiation area of the device can be adjusted and controlled.

Considering current scenario, Keeping the home and working environment clean and hygiene is very important. Mainly from air boned viruses and germs.

Though UVC (Ultraviolet lights) rays can kill and disinfect the atmosphere, there is a negative side of the rays which is, The direct exposure to UVC rays will affect the humans.

So, we are in the verge of utilizing the UVC rays to solve the purpose and without compromising on safety. Since we plan to invent the UVC wall lamp, initially we tried with conventional approach in reflector and housing design for the wall lamp. Later our study and simulation results concluded controlling the UVC rays with in the minimum and maximum allowable limit is not possible in conventional Reflector design approach.

Also, we realize using lens or diffuser resist the required rays and give negative result

So, the challenge of how to handle the UVC rays effectively and safely made us design and invent the UVC wall lamp, specifically reflector design.

OBJECT OF INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to develop the disinfection UVC Lamp for disinfecting the airborne virus under direct exposure in specific room during human coexisting / occupancy time.

The secondary objective of innovation is to use the UVC lamp under human occupancy situation (subject to specific mounting guidelines of lamp*).

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a sensor for real time detecting any obstruction in the path of the UV ray and also detect and reflection / refraction of UV rays if any outside the lighting assembly.

And can also be used in rooms with relatively low ceilings, such as elevators and public transport vehicles, rooms, office buildings, halls and the like.

The combination of reflector and light-absorbing reflector is designed in such a way that, it will highly control the light as per the functional and safety guidelines.

As a further improvement of the invention, the ultraviolet tube bead is a collimation ultraviolet light source, the ultraviolet tube bead is arranged in the packaging substrate, the radiation channel in the packaging substrate is linear, and the opening end of the radiation channel is provided with a transparent material.

In an embodiment of the invention, the UVC tube also comprises a parabolic reflecting surface, and a single or a plurality of ultraviolet tube beads are arranged at the focal point of the parabolic reflecting surface and facing the back of an ‘U’ shaped UV absorbing collimator; the reflecting surface form an array of parallel collimated UV rays.
