Ultra violet detector/indicator
First Claim
1. In combination,an enclosure of a fluid processing apparatus;
- an ultraviolet lamp installed in the enclosure for sterilization; and
an ultraviolet detector/indicator installed at an external wall of the enclosure, wherein the ultraviolet detector/indicator comprises;
a light receiving end to receive ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet lamp,a light emitting end disposed outside the enclosure,a light guide transmitting light between the two ends,material to transfer ultraviolet energy into visible light between the light receiving end and the light emitting end, the material adjusting a spectrum, anda colorimetric scale which is printed with various color shades disposed adjacent to at least one of the ends,whereby ultraviolet light inside the enclosure is indicated by visible light at the light emitting end.

Abstract
An ultraviolet detector/indicator comprises of a column, hemisphere, cake, or wire where a light receiving front and a light emitting front are respectively installed on the two ends with connections, and a light guide unit, which contains the material that strengthens the ultraviolet or adjusts the spectrum is installed between the two fronts. According to the foregoing structure, the ultraviolet detector/indicator installed in the enclosure of an ultraviolet sterilization apparatus is exempted from the external power source for transferring invisible ultraviolet into visible light. In addition, a calorimetric scale printed with various color shades is installed to assist the user in verifying the ultraviolet strengths should aging or damage of the ultraviolet lamp fail functions of the apparatus. Furthermore, an interface connecting to the enclosure is installed to facilitate the replacement of ultraviolet detector/indicator.
