[0084] The hydrogen peroxide generating device and its application are described in detail below through specific embodiments:
[0085] Reference Figures 1 to 5 ,as well as Figures 13 to 19 As shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a hydrogen peroxide generating device 10, comprising a shell 11 and a liquid inlet 17 and a liquid outlet 18 arranged on the shell 11, the liquid inlet 17 is used to be connected to a water supply component, a cathode plate 12 and an anode plate 13 for electrolyzing water to generate a hydrogen peroxide solution are arranged in the shell 11, and the liquid outlet 18 is used to discharge the generated hydrogen peroxide solution.
[0086] That is, water from the water supply component enters the housing 11 through the liquid inlet 17, and is electrolyzed into hydrogen peroxide by the electrolysis of the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13 inside the housing 11, and the hydrogen peroxide solution generated by the electrolysis is discharged from the housing 11 through the liquid outlet 18. The hydrogen peroxide solution has good cleaning, deodorizing, disinfecting, and sterilizing functions, so when the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is applied to household appliances (such as laundry washing equipment, laundry processing equipment, dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.), it can play a good role in cleaning, deodorizing, disinfecting, and sterilizing.
[0087] Specifically, when the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is applied to washing equipment (such as clothing washing equipment such as washing machines, dishwashers, etc.), it can clean the laundry while reducing or even eliminating the use of detergents, thereby enhancing the washing effect, reducing the amount of detergent used, achieving low-carbon environmental protection, and eliminating the need for users to frequently add detergents to the washing chamber; when the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is applied to other household appliances (such as clothing processing equipment such as dryers and care cabinets, refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc.), it can effectively remove odors and ensure the cleanliness of the air, thereby enhancing the user experience.

That is, the housing middle frame 114 is arranged between the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13, so that there is a certain distance between the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13. In this arrangement, water can enter between the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13, thereby ensuring that the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13 can both contact the water, so as to ensure the electrolysis effect of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10.
[0090] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 are fixed by snap fastening to form an electrolytic chamber between the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113. Of course, the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 may also be fixed by threaded connection, magnetic fixation, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure, as long as the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 can be fixed together and an electrolytic chamber can be formed therebetween.
[0091] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, in order to ensure the sealing of the electrolytic chamber formed between the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 113, a sealing ring 19 is provided at the periphery where the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 113 are connected, so as to achieve a sealed connection between the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 113 through the sealing ring 19.
[0092] For ease of installation, refer to Figure 5As shown, the first housing portion 111 may be a housing structure with a cavity, that is, the first housing portion 111 may include a bottom wall and a surrounding wall connected to the periphery of the bottom wall, and the bottom wall and the surrounding wall together constitute a housing structure with one end open; accordingly, the second housing portion 113 may be a cover structure, that is, the second housing portion 113 is a cover structure covering the open end of the first housing portion 111, and the surrounding wall of the first housing portion 111 and the periphery of the first housing portion 111 are provided with mutually buckled snap-fit structures to achieve a fixed connection between the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113. Of course, the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 may also both be housing structures with cavities, and the cavity of the first housing portion 111 and the opening of the cavity of the second housing portion 113 are opposite to each other, and together constitute an electrolytic chamber for containing liquid.
[0093] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 are both arranged on the shell middle frame 114, and the liquid inlet 17 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid outlet 18 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe.

[0094] In a specific implementation, the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 can be arranged on two opposite side walls of the shell middle frame 114. In some embodiments, the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 can be arranged at the diagonal position of the two opposite side walls of the shell middle frame 114 to ensure that there is a sufficient distance between the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18, so that the water entering from the liquid inlet 17 can be fully electrolyzed in the electrolysis chamber and then discharged through the liquid outlet 18. Of course, the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 can also be arranged on the same side wall of the shell middle frame 114 as needed. The liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 can also be arranged on the first shell part 111 or the second shell part 113 as needed, as long as it can realize the supply of water to the electrolysis chamber and the discharge of the hydrogen peroxide solution produced in the electrolysis chamber.

In some embodiments, a first sealing gasket 15 is provided between the side of the cathode sheet 12 facing away from the shell middle frame 114 and the inner wall surface of the first shell part 111, and the first sealing gasket 15 is located in the peripheral area of the hollow hole 112. In this way, the outside air is separated from the electrolysis chamber to prevent the liquid in the electrolysis chamber from leaking out through the hollow hole 112 provided on the first shell part 111.
[0096] In a specific implementation, the cathode sheet 12 may adopt a flat plate structure, that is, a plate structure without hollowing or opening, so as to separate the liquid in the electrolytic chamber from the outside air through the cathode sheet 12. Of course, in a specific implementation, it is also possible that the cathode sheet 12 is not in direct contact with the outside air. In this case, the hollow hole 112 may not be provided on the first shell portion 111, and accordingly, the cathode sheet 12 may also adopt a mesh or porous structure.
[0097] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 further includes an ion exchange membrane 14, which is disposed between the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13, and separates the internal space of the housing 11 into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber, that is, the electrolysis chamber formed in the housing 11 is separated into a cathode chamber and an anode chamber by the ion exchange membrane 14. The ion exchange membrane 14 is used to accelerate the exchange rate of ions generated by electrolysis and improve the electrolysis efficiency. At the same time, the ion exchange membrane 14 can separate the hydrogen peroxide generated by the cathode sheet 12 from the anode sheet 13 to prevent the hydrogen peroxide from being oxidized by the anode sheet 13 and affecting the electrolysis efficiency.
[0098] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, a second sealing gasket 16 is provided between the outer region of the surface of the ion exchange membrane 14 facing the cathode sheet 12 and the cathode sheet 12, and between the outer region of the surface of the ion exchange membrane 14 facing the anode sheet 13 and the anode sheet 13. The second sealing gasket 16 improves the sealing performance of the cathode cavity and the anode cavity to ensure the electrolysis effect.
[0099] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 5As shown, a shell middle frame 114 is also provided between the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13. In order to ensure the sealing effect, a second sealing gasket 16 can be provided between the outer area of the anode sheet 13 and the second shell portion 113, between the outer area of the ion exchange membrane 14 and the shell middle frame 114, and between the outer area of the cathode sheet 12 and the shell middle frame 114.
[0100] For example, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 includes a first shell portion 111 and a second shell portion 113 which are connected to each other, an electrolysis chamber is formed between the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 113, and a sealing ring 19 is provided at the peripheral connection between the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 11; along the direction from the first shell portion 111 to the second shell portion 113, a first sealing gasket 15, a cathode plate 12, a second sealing gasket 16, a shell middle frame 114, a second sealing gasket 16, an ion exchange membrane 14, a second sealing gasket 16, an anode plate 13 and a second sealing gasket 16 are sequentially provided in the electrolysis chamber.
[0101] In some embodiments, the first shell portion 111 has a cavity opening toward the second shell portion 113, and the four corners of the cavity of the first shell portion 111 are respectively provided with positioning columns extending toward the second shell portion 113, and the above-mentioned first sealing gasket 15, cathode plate 12, second sealing gasket 16, shell middle frame 114, second sealing gasket 16, ion exchange membrane 14, second sealing gasket 16, anode plate 13 and second sealing gasket 16 are sequentially passed through the positioning columns.
[0102] In some embodiments, in order to supply water to the cathode cavity and the anode cavity simultaneously through the liquid inlet pipe, a liquid distributor connected to the liquid inlet pipe may be provided on the shell middle frame 114, and the liquid distributor passes through the ion exchange membrane 14 to supply water to the anode cavity through the liquid distributor. Accordingly, in order to discharge the liquid in the cathode cavity and the anode cavity simultaneously through the liquid outlet pipe, a manifold connected to the liquid outlet pipe may be provided on the shell middle frame 114, and the manifold passes through the ion exchange membrane 14 to converge the liquid in the anode cavity to the liquid outlet pipe through the manifold.
[0103] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the cathode sheet 12 is a flat plate structure, so that the cathode sheet 12 is isolated from the outside air and the electrolytic chamber. Specifically, the cathode sheet 12 includes a first metal substrate and a conductive carbon substrate layer coated on the surface of the first metal substrate. The first metal substrate can be selected from any one of a metal platinum mesh, a metal nickel mesh or a stainless steel mesh, or a combination of at least two thereof, and the components of the conductive carbon substrate layer include carbon materials, preferably carbon black or doped carbon materials.
[0104] In a specific implementation, a conductive carbon-based material can be coated on the surface of the first metal substrate and pressed into shape to prepare a three-phase gas diffusion electrode. The gas diffusion electrode has an efficient gas molecule transmission channel and abundant hydrogen peroxide reaction sites. Oxygen molecules in the air will pass through the electrode sheet and obtain electrons on the other side of the electrode sheet to produce hydrogen peroxide. Specifically, the cathode chemical reaction formula is: O2+2H2O+4e-→2H2O2. Therefore, the cathode sheet 12 needs to be in contact with the air on one side and the electrolyte on the other side.
[0105] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the anode sheet 13 is a flat plate structure, a mesh structure or a porous structure. Specifically, the anode sheet 13 includes a second metal substrate and a transition metal coating coated on the surface of the second metal substrate and having catalytic activity. The material of the second metal substrate includes any one of titanium, nickel or platinum or a combination of at least two of them, and the composition of the transition metal coating is selected from any one of ruthenium, iridium, tantalum, palladium or their oxides or a combination of at least two of them. For example, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the anode sheet 13 is a porous structure, wherein the shape of the holes can be any shape such as circular, square or irregular, and the number can also be specifically set according to actual needs, which is not limited in the present disclosure. Specifically, the thickness of the anode sheet 13 is not less than 0.5 mm. The chemical reaction formula of the anode is: 4OH-→O2+2H2O+4e-.
[0106] It can be understood that when the anode sheet 13 is a flat plate structure, the electrolysis chamber is a cavity structure formed between the cathode sheet 12 and the anode sheet 13. When the anode sheet 13 is a mesh structure or a porous structure, the electrolysis chamber is a cavity structure formed between the cathode sheet 12 and the second shell portion 113. Water can pass through the anode sheet 13 and flow in the electrolysis chamber, thereby ensuring that the shape of the anode sheet 13 can be specifically set according to actual needs.
[0107] It should be noted that in a specific implementation, both the anode plate 13 and the cathode plate 12 need to be connected to a DC power supply, which is externally placed outside the shell 11 of the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 to provide electron supply to the anode plate 13 and the cathode plate 12 through the DC power supply, and the current is controlled at 0-10A.
[0108] In other embodiments, reference Figures 13 to 19As shown, the housing 11 includes a first housing portion 111 and a second housing portion 113 connected to each other, an electrolysis chamber is formed between the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113, and a first cathode sheet 121, an anode sheet 13, and a second cathode sheet 122 are sequentially arranged in the electrolysis chamber in the direction from the first housing portion 111 to the second housing portion 113, and the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 are both connected to the electrolysis chamber. In this way, there is a certain distance between the first cathode sheet 121 and the anode sheet 13, and there is a certain distance between the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13, so that the first cathode sheet 121, the second cathode sheet 122, and the anode sheet 13 can all contact with the water entering the electrolysis chamber, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10; in addition, by providing two cathode sheets and one anode sheet, the electrolysis efficiency of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 can be better guaranteed compared with providing one cathode sheet and one anode sheet.
[0109] It should be noted that the number of cathode plates and anode plates provided in the housing 11 is not limited to one, and two, three or more cathode plates may be provided as required. Figures 1 to 5 In the embodiment shown, a cathode plate 12 and an anode plate 13 are disposed in the housing 11 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10; Figures 13 to 19 In the illustrated embodiment, two cathode plates and one anode plate 13 are disposed in the housing 11 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 , and the two cathode plates are respectively a first cathode plate 121 and a second cathode plate 122 .

In this way, one side surface of the first cathode sheet 121 can be in contact with the air, and the other side surface can be in contact with the water in the electrolysis chamber, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect; and by providing the first sealing gasket 191, the outside air is separated from the electrolysis chamber, and the liquid in the electrolysis chamber is prevented from leaking out through the first hollow hole 1111 provided on the first shell part 111.
[0111] In some embodiments, reference Fig.13 , Fig.16 and Fig.19As shown, the second shell part 113 is provided with a second hollow hole 1131 connected with the outside air, and the side of the second cathode sheet 122 facing away from the anode sheet 13 is in contact with the outside air through the second hollow hole 1131. A second sealing gasket 192 is provided between the side of the second cathode sheet 122 facing away from the anode sheet 13 and the inner wall surface of the second shell part 113, and the second sealing gasket 192 is located in the peripheral area of the second hollow hole 1131. In this way, one side surface of the second cathode sheet 122 can be in contact with the air, and the other side surface can be in contact with the water in the electrolysis chamber, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect; and by providing the second sealing gasket 192, the outside air is separated from the electrolysis chamber, and the liquid in the electrolysis chamber is prevented from leaking out through the second hollow hole 1131 provided on the second shell part 113.
[0112] In some embodiments, reference Fig.16 and Fig.19 As shown, a first separator 193 is provided between the first cathode sheet 121 and the anode sheet 13, so as to separate the first cathode sheet 121 and the anode sheet 13 through the first separator 193, and a second separator 194 is provided between the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13, so as to separate the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13 through the second separator 194. Such a configuration ensures that the first cathode sheet 121, the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13 can all contact with the water entering the electrolysis chamber, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10.
[0113] Specifically, refer to Fig.19 As shown, the first separator 193 may include two first separators, both of which are located between the first cathode sheet 121 and the anode sheet 13, and are relatively arranged at the edge of the first cathode sheet 121 and the anode sheet 13; the second separator 194 may include two second separators, both of which are located between the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13, and are relatively arranged at the edge of the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13. Of course, the first separator 193 and the second separator 194 may also be both frame-shaped structures, as long as the cathode sheet and the anode sheet 13 can be separated.
[0114] In some embodiments, reference Fig.16 and Fig.19As shown, the first housing part 111 is formed with a receiving groove 1112 with a notch facing the second housing part 113, the first cathode sheet 121, the anode sheet 13 and the second cathode sheet 122 are sequentially arranged in the receiving groove 1112, and the second housing part 113 is covered at the notch of the receiving groove 1112 to form an electrolytic chamber; the first housing part 111 is provided with a mounting groove 1113 surrounding the receiving groove 1112, the mounting groove 1113 is provided with a third sealing gasket 195, and the second housing part 113 faces the first housing part 111 and abuts against the third sealing gasket 195. Such a configuration can realize the convenient installation of the first cathode sheet 121, the anode sheet 13 and the second cathode sheet 122 in the electrolytic chamber, and ensure the sealing of the electrolytic chamber.
[0115] Specifically, in order to ensure the reliability of the seal, refer to Fig.16 As shown, a boss corresponding to the mounting groove 1113 can be provided on a side of the second shell portion 113 facing the first shell portion 111. When the second shell portion 113 is installed on the first shell portion 111, the boss applies an extrusion force to the third sealing gasket 195 in the mounting groove 1113, thereby ensuring the firmness of the seal between the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 113.
[0116] In some embodiments, reference Figures 13 to 15 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, the first housing portion 111 has two opposite side walls, and the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 are respectively arranged on the two opposite side walls of the first housing portion 111. Such arrangement ensures that there is a sufficient distance between the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18, so that the water entering from the liquid inlet 17 can be fully electrolyzed in the electrolysis chamber and then discharged through the liquid outlet 18. Of course, the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 can also be arranged on the same side wall of the first housing portion 111 as needed, as long as it can realize the supply of water to the electrolysis chamber and the discharge of the hydrogen peroxide solution produced in the electrolysis chamber.
[0117] In some embodiments, reference Fig.17 and Fig.18As shown, the direction from the first housing portion 111 to the second housing portion 113 is the height direction, and in the up-down direction in the figure, the height position of the liquid outlet 18 is higher than the height position of the liquid inlet 17. That is to say, the liquid inlet 17 is set at a relatively low position, and the liquid outlet 18 is set at a relatively high position, which is convenient for water to enter the electrolysis chamber smoothly through the liquid inlet 17, and avoids the water entering the electrolysis chamber from being quickly discharged through the liquid outlet 18, that is, it is ensured that the water entering the electrolysis chamber can stay in the electrolysis chamber for a long time, and it is ensured that the water can fully contact the first cathode sheet 121 and the second cathode sheet 122 to ensure the electrolysis effect. Of course, the relative heights of the liquid inlet 17 and the liquid outlet 18 are not limited to the above-mentioned limitations, and can also be reasonably set according to actual needs.
[0118] In some embodiments, reference Fig.19 As shown, a liquid inlet cavity 1114 and a liquid outlet cavity 1115 are formed between the first shell portion 111 and the second shell portion 113. The liquid inlet cavity 1114 and the liquid outlet cavity 1115 are respectively located on both sides of the electrolytic cavity. The liquid inlet 17 is connected to the electrolytic cavity through the liquid inlet cavity 1114, and the electrolytic cavity is connected to the liquid outlet 18 through the liquid outlet cavity 1115. In other words, water first enters the liquid inlet cavity 1114 through the liquid inlet 17, and then enters the electrolytic cavity through the liquid inlet cavity 1114. By providing the liquid inlet cavity 1114, a certain amount of water can be stored, thereby ensuring the efficiency of water supply to the electrolytic cavity; the hydrogen peroxide solution generated by electrolysis in the electrolytic cavity first enters the liquid outlet cavity 1115, and then is discharged through the liquid outlet 18.
[0119] In some embodiments, reference Fig.13 and Fig.19 As shown, the first cathode sheet 121, the anode sheet 13 and the second cathode sheet 122 are all provided with an electrical connection sheet 131, and the shell is provided with a mounting port, a sealing cover 196 is installed at the mounting port, and the sealing cover 196 is provided with a mounting socket through which the power supply connection sheet 131 passes. It should be understood that the first cathode sheet 121, the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13 all need to be connected to a DC power supply, and the DC power supply is externally placed outside the shell of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10. Through the above arrangement, the first cathode sheet 121, the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13 are connected to the external power supply, so that the DC power supply provides electron supply for the first cathode sheet 121, the second cathode sheet 122 and the anode sheet 13, and specifically the current can be controlled at 0-10A.
[0120] In a specific implementation, a mounting notch that is connected to the notch of the receiving groove 1112 can be opened on the side wall of the first housing portion 111, and after the second housing portion 113 is covered on the first housing portion 111, the mounting notch is sealed, so that the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 are jointly surrounded to form a mounting opening. During specific installation, the sealing cover 196 can be first installed at the mounting notch, and then the second housing portion 113 can be covered on the first housing portion 111.
[0121] In some embodiments, reference Figures 13 to 16 , Fig.19 As shown, a first mounting portion is provided at the periphery of the first housing portion 111, and a second mounting portion corresponding to the first mounting portion is provided at the periphery of the second housing portion 113. The first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 are fixedly connected by fasteners 197 that penetrate through the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion. Specifically, both the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion can be screw columns, and the fasteners 197 can be screws, so that the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 can be installed and fixed by screws, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble.
[0122] In some embodiments, reference Fig.13 , Fig.14 , Fig.19 As shown, a third mounting portion 1116 is provided on a side of at least one of the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 facing away from the other, so that the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 can be fixed on the electrical appliance by means of a fastener penetrating through the third mounting portion 1116 .
[0123] Specifically, the third mounting portion 1116 may be provided on only one of the first housing portion 111 and the second housing portion 113 , or may be provided on both of them, so as to ensure the reliability of fixing the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 to the electrical appliance.
[0124] It should be noted that the fixing method between the first shell part 111 and the second shell part 113 is not limited to screw connection, and the connection can also be achieved by means of snaps or the like; the fixing method between the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 and the electrical appliance is not limited to screw connection, and the connection can also be achieved by means of snaps or the like.
[0125] Other embodiments of the present disclosure provide a clothing washing device 20, including a clothing processing chamber 21, a water inlet waterway 22 and a hydrogen peroxide generator 10, wherein the water inlet waterway 22 is connected to the clothing processing chamber 21, and washing water can be provided to the clothing processing chamber 21 through the water inlet waterway 22. The hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is arranged on the water inlet waterway 22 or in the clothing processing chamber 21, and the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is used to electrolyze water to generate a hydrogen peroxide solution to provide the hydrogen peroxide solution to the clothing processing chamber 21.
[0126] Specifically, when the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is disposed on the water inlet waterway 22, the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 can directly use the water in the water inlet waterway 22 to achieve electrolysis, and transport the hydrogen peroxide solution generated by the electrolysis to the clothing processing chamber 21 through the water inlet waterway 22, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the clothing washing device 20 without the need to add detergent multiple times; when the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is disposed in the clothing processing chamber 21, the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 can be directly used to electrolyze the water in the clothing processing chamber 21, and generate hydrogen peroxide solution to wash the clothing. Specifically, the clothing washing device 20 can be a drum washing machine, refer to Figure 6 As shown; the laundry washing device 20 may also be a pulsator washing machine, refer to Figure 7 As shown; of course, the clothing washing device 20 may also be other equipment for washing clothing, and the present disclosure is not limited to this.
[0127] It should be noted that the clothing processing chamber refers to a cavity used to process clothing. In a washing machine, taking a drum washing machine as an example, the clothing processing barrel, the door body and the door sealing ring enclose the space to form a clothing processing chamber; in a dryer, the drum assembly of the dryer forms a clothing processing chamber.
[0128] In some embodiments, the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 includes a housing 11 and a liquid inlet 17 and a liquid outlet 18 disposed on the housing 11, and a cathode sheet 12 and an anode sheet 13 for electrolyzing water to produce a hydrogen peroxide solution are disposed in the housing 11. When the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is disposed on the water inlet 22, the liquid inlet 17 is connected to the inlet of the water inlet 22, and the liquid outlet 18 is connected to the outlet of the water inlet 22; it can also be that the liquid inlet 17 is connected to the water inlet 22, and the liquid outlet 18 is connected to the clothing processing chamber 21; in this way, the washing ability of the clothing washing device 20 can be improved without adding detergent multiple times. Specifically, the water inlet 22 can include a first water inlet pipe section and a second water inlet pipe section, and the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is connected between the first water inlet pipe section and the second water inlet pipe section. Of course, the water inlet 22 can also include only one section of the water inlet, and the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is connected to the inlet or outlet of the water inlet 22.
[0129] In some embodiments, reference Figure 20 to Figure 25 As shown, the water inlet circuit 22 includes a first water inlet branch 221 and a second water inlet branch 222, both of which are connected to the clothing processing chamber 21, and the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is disposed on one of the first water inlet branch 221 and the second water inlet branch 222. In other words, the clothing washing device 20 has at least two water inlet branches for supplying water to the clothing processing chamber 21, respectively, and the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is disposed on one of the water inlet branches.
[0130] With such arrangement, when the function of the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 needs to be used, the water inlet branch provided with the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 can be controlled to supply water to the clothing processing chamber 21, so that the water provided by the water inlet branch is electrolyzed by the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 to produce a hydrogen peroxide solution, and the produced hydrogen peroxide solution enters the clothing processing chamber 21 to clean, deodorize, disinfect, and sterilize the clothing in the clothing processing chamber 21. When the function of the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is not needed, the water inlet branch not provided with the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 can be controlled to supply water to the clothing processing chamber 21, that is, the original water supply method of the clothing washing equipment is used to supply water to the clothing processing chamber 21, so as to maintain the original washing function of the clothing washing equipment, that is, it does not affect the realization of the original function of the clothing washing equipment. Of course, it is also feasible to only set up one water inlet waterway 22 and set the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 on the water inlet waterway 22.
[0131] It should be noted that the water inlet waterway 22 is not limited to including two water inlet branches, and three water inlet branches or more water inlet branches may be provided as required, and the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is provided on one of the water inlet branches.
[0132] For example, refer to Figure 20 to Figure 22 As shown, the water inlet circuit 22 includes three water inlet branches, namely a first water inlet branch 221, a second water inlet branch 222 and a third water inlet branch 223. The first water inlet branch 221, the second water inlet branch 222 and the third water inlet branch 223 are all connected to the inner cavity of the clothing processing chamber 21, and the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is arranged on the second water inlet branch 222.
[0133] In some embodiments, reference Figure 23 to Figure 25 As shown, the laundry washing device includes a delivery assembly 23 , which is connected between the water inlet channel 22 and the laundry processing chamber 21 , and a hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is disposed outside the delivery assembly 23 and connected to the delivery assembly 23 .
[0134] Specifically, the delivery assembly 23 has a detergent delivery port, and the delivery assembly 23 is connected between the water inlet 22 and the clothing processing chamber 21, so that detergent is delivered to the delivery assembly 23 through the detergent delivery port, and water is supplied to the delivery assembly 23 through the water inlet 22 to flush the detergent in the delivery assembly 23, so as to deliver the detergent in the delivery assembly 23 into the clothing processing chamber 21. By arranging the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 outside the delivery assembly 23 and connecting it to the delivery assembly 23, compared with installing the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 in the clothing processing chamber 21, on the one hand, the installation and fixation of the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 is more convenient, and on the other hand, it is convenient to connect the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 to the water inlet 22.
[0135] Taking a drum washing machine as an example, the drum washing machine generally includes a housing and a drum assembly 24 arranged in the housing. The drum assembly 24 may specifically include an outer drum and an inner drum arranged in the outer drum. The delivery assembly 23 may be arranged in the area between the housing and the drum assembly 24, specifically, in the area between the housing and the outer drum. The hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is arranged outside the delivery assembly 23 and is connected to the delivery assembly 23.
[0136] Of course, it is also feasible to install the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 at other locations of the laundry washing device. For example, the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 can be arranged in any area between the housing and the outer drum where it can be installed, such as directly fixing the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 on the housing, or arranging the hydrogen peroxide generator 10 and the delivery assembly 23 side by side.
[0137] In some embodiments, reference Fig. 20 , Fig.21 and Fig. 22 As shown, the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 includes a shell and a liquid inlet 17 and a liquid outlet 18 arranged on the shell. A cathode plate and an anode plate for electrolyzing water to generate a hydrogen peroxide solution are arranged in the shell 11; the liquid inlet 17 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is connected to the water inlet waterway 22, and the liquid outlet 18 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is connected to the dosing component 23.
[0138] In this arrangement, water is supplied to the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 through the water inlet waterway 22, and the hydrogen peroxide solution generated by the electrolysis of water by the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is passed into the delivery component 23, and then enters the inner cavity of the clothing processing chamber 21 through the delivery component 23, thereby realizing the delivery of the hydrogen peroxide solution to the inner cavity of the clothing processing chamber 21 by means of the flow channel of the delivery component 23. In this arrangement, there is no need to additionally set an inlet for introducing the hydrogen peroxide solution on the clothing processing chamber 21, and the modification to the original clothing washing equipment is small, and the processing and manufacturing are convenient and the cost is low.
[0139] Of course, if factors such as manufacturing cost are not considered, it is also feasible to additionally provide an inlet for introducing hydrogen peroxide solution on the clothing processing chamber 21, connect the liquid inlet 17 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 directly to the water supply waterway, and connect the liquid outlet 18 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 to the inlet through a connecting pipe. In other words, the hydrogen peroxide solution generated by the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 is not limited to entering the clothing processing chamber 21 via the delivery component 23, but can also enter the clothing processing chamber 21 directly through the connecting pipe.
[0140] It should be noted that the number of cathode sheets and anode sheets provided in the housing 11 is not limited to one. Figures 1 to 5In the embodiment shown, a cathode plate 12 and an anode plate 13 are disposed in the housing 11 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10; Figures 13 to 19 In the illustrated embodiment, two cathode plates and one anode plate 13 are disposed in the housing 11 of the hydrogen peroxide generating device 10 , and the two cathode plates are respectively a first cathode plate 121 and a second cathode plate 122 .
[0141] In some embodiments, reference Fig. 20 and Fig.21 As shown, the delivery assembly 23 includes a delivery housing 230, a first water inlet channel 232, a second water inlet channel and a water outlet channel 231. The first water inlet channel 232, the second water inlet channel and the water outlet channel 231 are all connected to the inner cavity of the delivery housing 230. A detergent delivery port is provided on the delivery housing 230, and the water outlet channel 231 is connected to the clothing processing chamber 21. In this way, detergent is delivered to the inner cavity of the delivery housing 230 of the delivery assembly 23 through the detergent delivery port, and the detergent entering the inner cavity of the delivery housing 230 is transported to the clothing processing chamber 21 through the water outlet channel 231.
