[0040] See also Figures 1 to 8 , the present invention proposes an ozone generating mechanism 300.

[0041] Combination Figure 4 , the ozone generating mechanism 300 of the present invention comprises:

[0042] A circulating water assembly 330, wherein the water inlet end of the circulating water assembly 330 is connected to a first water inlet pipeline 3311 and a second water inlet pipeline 3312, and the water outlet end of the circulating water assembly 330 is connected to a first water outlet pipeline 3313 and a second water outlet pipeline 3314; and

[0043] The ozone generating assembly 310, the discharge port of the ozone generating assembly 310 is connected between the water inlet and the water outlet of the circulating water assembly 330, and the ozone generated by the ozone generating assembly 310 is passed into the circulating water assembly 330;

[0044] The ozone generating mechanism 300 controls liquid to flow in from the first water inlet pipe 3311 and out from the first water outlet pipe 3313 ; and / or to flow in from the second water inlet pipe 3312 and out from the second water outlet pipe 3314 .

[0045] In the ozone generating mechanism 300 of the technical solution of the present invention, the water inlet and the water outlet of the circulating water component 330 are both split into at least two pipelines, and the ozone generating mechanism 300 controls the external liquid to flow into the circulating water component 330 from the first water inlet pipeline 3311 and flow out from the first water outlet pipeline 3313; or the ozone generating mechanism 300 controls the external liquid to flow into the circulating water component 330 from the second water inlet pipeline 3312 and flow out from the second water outlet pipeline 3314; or the ozone generating mechanism 300 controls the external liquid to flow into the first water inlet pipeline 3311 and the second water inlet pipeline 3312 at the same time, and flow out from the first water outlet pipeline 3313 and the second water outlet pipeline 3314 at the same time. The ozone generated by the ozone generating component 310 is discharged into the circulating water component 330 from the discharge port of the ozone generating component 310, dissolved in the liquid in the circulating water component 330, and circulates with the liquid in the circulating water component 330. The ozone generating mechanism 300 can be applied to at least two cleaning devices, and at least two cleaning devices can use the strong oxidation sterilization and disinfection effect of ozone to clean food or tableware, so that the ozone generating mechanism 300 has a wide range of uses and a high utilization rate.

[0046] Preferably, in the technical solution of the present invention, the ozone generating mechanism 300 controls the external liquid to flow into the circulating water assembly 330 from the first water inlet pipe 3311 and flow out from the first water outlet pipe 3313; or the ozone generating mechanism 300 controls the external liquid to flow into the circulating water assembly 330 from the second water inlet pipe 3312 and flow out from the second water outlet pipe 3314. The two cleaning devices using the ozone generating mechanism 300 can control the operation of the ozone generating mechanism 300 separately, avoiding the cross-use of cleaning water in the two cleaning devices and causing mutual contamination.

[0047] Further integration Figures 4 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the circulating water component 330 further includes a water distributor 332, and the water distributor 332 includes:

[0048] A seat body 332a is provided with a first connecting pipe 3321, a second connecting pipe 3322, a third connecting pipe 3323 and a fourth connecting pipe 3324 arranged in sequence, the first connecting pipe 3321 is connected in series to the first water inlet pipeline 3311, the second connecting pipe 3322 is connected in series to the second water inlet pipeline 3312, the third connecting pipe 3323 is connected in series to the first water outlet pipeline 3313, and the fourth connecting pipe 3324 is connected in series to the second water outlet pipeline 3314; and

[0049] The movable piece 332b is slidably connected or rotationally connected to the seat body 332a to make the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323 connected respectively and block the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324; or make the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324 connected respectively and block the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323.

[0050] The relative position of the movable piece 332b and the seat body 332a is changed so that the external liquid can flow into the circulating water assembly 330 from the first water inlet pipe 3311 and flow out from the first water outlet pipe 3313; or flow into the circulating water assembly 330 from the second water inlet pipe 3312 and flow out from the second water outlet pipe 3314. The ozone generating mechanism 300 also includes a controller (not shown), which is electrically connected to the water distributor 332. The controller controls the movable piece 332b of the water distributor 332 to move relative to the seat body 332a, so as to control whether the first connecting pipe 3321, the second connecting pipe 3322, the third connecting pipe 3323 and the fourth connecting pipe 3324 are connected.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, control valves are respectively provided on the first water inlet pipeline 3311, the second water inlet pipeline 3312, the first water outlet pipeline 3313 and the second water outlet pipeline 3314, and the controller is electrically connected to each control valve, so as to be able to control the on-off of the first water inlet pipeline 3311, the second water inlet pipeline 3312, the first water outlet pipeline 3313 and the second water outlet pipeline 3314 respectively, so as to realize that external liquid can flow into the circulating water component 330 from the first water inlet pipeline 3311 and flow out from the first water outlet pipeline 3313; or the second water inlet pipeline 3312 flows into the circulating water component 330 and flows out from the second water outlet pipeline 3314.

[0052] See also Figure 6 The movable sheet 332b has at least one through hole and two stop positions, and the two stop positions are respectively located on both sides of the through hole. The movable sheet 332b slides relative to the seat body 332a so that the through hole corresponds to the second connecting tube 3322, and the two stop positions respectively block the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323; or the through hole corresponds to the third connecting tube 3323, and the two stop positions respectively block the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324.

[0053] Figure 6 As shown in the upper middle figure, the through hole on the movable sheet 332b corresponds to the second connecting pipe 3322, so that the second connecting pipe 3322 is connected, thereby connecting the second water inlet pipe 3312, and the two stop positions respectively block the first connecting pipe 3321 and the third connecting pipe 3323, so that the first water inlet pipe 3311 and the first water outlet pipe 3313 are intercepted by the water divider 332; Figure 6As shown in the lower middle figure, the through hole on the movable sheet 332b corresponds to the third connecting pipe 3323, so that the third connecting pipe 3323 is conductive, thereby making the first water outlet pipe 3313 conductive, and the two stop positions respectively block the second connecting pipe 3322 and the fourth connecting pipe 3324, so that the second water inlet pipe 3312 and the second water outlet pipe 3314 are intercepted by the water divider 332.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the movable sheet 332b has two through holes and two stopper positions, and one through hole and one stopper position are arranged at intervals. The movable sheet 332b slides relative to the seat body 332a, so that the two through holes correspond to the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323, and the two stopper positions block the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324, respectively; or, the two through holes correspond to the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324, and the two stopper positions block the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323, respectively.

[0055] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 The seat body 332a is in a rectangular parallelepiped configuration, the first connecting tube 3321, the second connecting tube 3322, the third connecting tube 3323 and the fourth connecting tube 3324 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the seat body 332a, and the movable sheet 332b is slidably connected to the seat body 332a.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the movable sheet 332b slides along one side of the length direction of the seat body 332a to make the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323 respectively conduct, and block the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324, and the sliding sheet slides along the other side of the length direction of the seat body 332a to make the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324 respectively conduct, and block the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323.

[0057] The seat body 332a is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the movable sheet 332b is also in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, that is, the water divider 332 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole. The water divider 332 in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped can be easily installed, so that the ozone generating mechanism 300 using the water divider 332 can be neatly arranged and the installation space can be fully utilized.

[0058] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 The seat body 332a is cylindrical, the first connecting tube 3321, the second connecting tube 3322, the third connecting tube 3323 and the fourth connecting tube 3324 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the seat body 332a, and the movable sheet 332b is rotatably connected to the seat body 332a.

[0059] like Figure 8As shown, the movable sheet 332b rotates along the circumferential direction of the seat body 332a to make the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323 respectively conduct, and block the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324, and the sliding sheet slides along the length of the seat body 332a to the other side to make the second connecting tube 3322 and the fourth connecting tube 3324 respectively conduct, and block the first connecting tube 3321 and the third connecting tube 3323.

[0060] The seat body 332a is cylindrical and the movable sheet 332b is fan-shaped, so that the water divider 332 is cylindrical as a whole. The cylindrical water divider 332 can be easily installed, so that the ozone generating mechanism 300 using the water divider 332 can be neatly arranged and fully utilize the installation space.

[0061] When the water divider 332 is cylindrical, the movable piece 332b is similar to the above structure, that is, the movable piece 332b includes a through hole and two stop positions, and the two stop positions are respectively located on both sides of the through hole; or the movable piece 332b includes two through holes and two stop positions, and a through hole and a stop position are arranged at intervals. The movement principle thereof refers to the above embodiment, and will not be described one by one here.

[0062] According to the requirements of the installation space, the water divider 332 can be set into different shapes to meet the installation requirements.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ozone generating mechanism 300 further includes a micro-nano bubble generator 335 , and the micro-nano bubble generator 335 is connected in series to the water outlet end of the first water outlet pipeline 3313 and / or the second water outlet pipeline 3314 .

[0064] Due to the hydraulic cavitation effect, the micro-nano bubble generator 335 can generate ozone micro-nano bubbles from the ozone bubbles in the circulating water component 330. The micro-nano-level ozone bubbles can not only be better dissolved in the washing liquid, but also can penetrate into the gaps between the objects to be cleaned, and come into more complete contact with the pesticide residues or other substances attached to the objects to be cleaned, thereby achieving a more thorough pesticide and dirt removal effect.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the circulating water assembly 330 includes a circulating water pipeline 331 and an air dissolving tank 333, the water inlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331 is connected to a first water inlet pipeline 3311 and a second water inlet pipeline 3312, and the water outlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331 is connected to a first water outlet pipeline 3313 and a second water outlet pipeline 3314;

[0066] The gas dissolving tank 333 is connected in series to the circulating water pipeline 331, and the discharge port of the ozone generating assembly 310 is connected to the circulating water pipeline 331 and is located between the water inlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331 and the gas dissolving tank 333;

[0067] The circulating water component 330 controls the liquid entering through the first water inlet pipeline 3311 and the ozone generated by the ozone generating component 310 to be drawn into the dissolved gas tank 333, and circulated and discharged from the first water outlet pipeline 3313; or controls the liquid entering through the second water inlet pipeline 3312 and the ozone generated by the ozone generating component 310 to be drawn into the dissolved gas tank 333, and circulated and discharged from the second water outlet pipeline 3314.

[0068] The circulating water pipeline 331 plays the role of conducting water flow, so that external liquid flows in through the water inlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331 and flows out from the water outlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331, so as to realize the circulation of washing water. The washing liquid in the circulating water pipeline 331 and the ozone generated by the ozone generating component 310 are mixed in the dissolving tank 333 to form washing water rich in ozone bubbles. The dissolving tank 333 can increase the amount of ozone bubbles dissolved in the washing water, so that the washing liquid flowing out through the circulating water pipeline 331 contains a large amount of ozone bubbles. The ozone bubbles contact the surface of fruits and vegetables or other objects to be cleaned in the cleaning device, and under the action of the rotating water flow, the destroyed chemicals and other impurities are better removed from the surface of fruits and vegetables, so as to achieve a full cleaning effect.

[0069] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, a three-way valve is installed at the water inlet and outlet of the circulating water pipeline 331, and the water inlet of the circulating water pipeline 331, the first water inlet pipeline 3311 and the second water inlet pipeline 3312 are respectively connected to the three ports of a three-way valve; the water outlet of the circulating water pipeline 331, the first water outlet pipeline 3313 and the second water outlet pipeline 3314 are respectively connected to the three ports of a three-way valve.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the circulating water component 330 further includes a booster pump 334, which is connected to the circulating pipeline and is located between the discharge port of the ozone generating component 310 and the dissolved gas tank 333;

[0071] The booster pump 334 drives the liquid entering through the first water inlet pipe 3311 and the ozone generated by the ozone generating assembly 310 to be drawn into the dissolved gas tank 333, and circulated and discharged from the first water outlet pipe 3313; or drives the liquid entering through the second water inlet pipe 3312 and the ozone generated by the ozone generating assembly 310 to be drawn into the dissolved gas tank 333, and circulated and discharged from the second water outlet pipe 3314.

[0072] The ozone generated by the ozone generating assembly 310 and the washing liquid entering from the water inlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331 are pumped into the dissolving tank 333 by the booster pump 334 and dissolved in the dissolving tank 333, so that the washing water flowing out from the water outlet end of the circulating pipeline is rich in a large amount of ozone bubbles.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ozone generating mechanism 300 is powered on, and the booster pump 334 sucks the external liquid used for washing into the circulating water pipeline 331 through the first water inlet pipeline 3311 or the second water inlet pipeline 3312, and then passes through the one-way valve 336, the three-way valve 337, and the booster pump 334 to be introduced into the air dissolving tank 333; the air is pumped into the ozone generator 311 through the air pump 313 to ionize and generate ozone, and under the action of the booster pump 334, the ozone passes through the one-way valve 314, the three-way valve 337, and the booster pump 334 to be introduced into the air dissolving tank 333. The washing water and the ozone are mixed in the air dissolving tank 333 to generate supersaturated ozone water, and when the supersaturated ozone water passes through the water outlet of the circulating water pipeline 331 and reaches the micro-nano bubble generator 335, ozone micro-nano bubbles are generated due to the hydraulic cavitation effect.

[0074] The one-way valve 336 is used to prevent ozone bubbles from overflowing from the water inlet end of the circulating water pipeline 331 through the three-way valve 337, and the one-way valve 314 is used to prevent the liquid in the circulating water pipeline 331 from flowing back and damaging the ozone generator 311 or causing the risk of electric shock.

[0075] The ozone generating assembly 310 further includes a solenoid valve 315 , which is located between the air pump 313 and the ozone generator 311 and is used to control whether air is inhaled, that is, to control whether ozone is passed into the air dissolving tank 333 .
