[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. These embodiments are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. Where specific techniques or conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are performed according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art or according to the product instructions. Reagents or instruments used, unless otherwise specified, are all commercially available conventional products.
[0036] In one aspect of the invention, a household appliance is provided. According to an embodiment of the invention, referring to... Figures 1 to 10The household appliance includes: a receiving cavity comprising a bottom wall 110 and a side wall 120 connected together, the receiving cavity being used to receive water; and a coating 200 formed on at least a portion of the inner surface of the receiving cavity, the coating 200 containing a quasicrystalline material. The inventors have discovered that the coating 200 on the inner surface of the receiving cavity in this household appliance contains a quasicrystalline material. Because the quasicrystalline material has low surface energy and good corrosion resistance, the household appliance is less prone to rust and scale buildup, and exhibits excellent corrosion resistance.
[0037] According to embodiments of the present invention, the specific location where the coating 200 is formed on the inner surface of the receiving cavity is not particularly limited. In some embodiments of the present invention, the coating 200 may be formed on the inner surface at the junction of the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 (see schematic diagram). Figure 1 The coating 200 may also be formed only on the inner surface of the bottom wall 110 (see structural schematic diagram). Figure 2 The coating 200 can also be formed both on the inner surface of the junction of the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120, and on the inner surface of the bottom wall 110 (see structural schematic diagram). Figure 3 The housing of this household appliance is used to hold water. During use, the dead corners within the housing, such as the area where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 meet, are most prone to limescale buildup and rust. Rust in these dead corners is difficult to clean. Forming the coating on the inner surface of the area where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 meet effectively solves the problems of rust and limescale buildup after use. Furthermore, forming the coating only at the area where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 meet, compared to forming the coating on both the inner surface of the area where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 meet and the inner surface of the bottom wall, significantly reduces costs and facilitates the industrial application of this household appliance.
[0038] In other embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 4 The sidewall has water level lines spaced apart from bottom to top. The coating is formed on the bottom wall and the sidewall, and the coating 200 is formed at least on the lowest water level line L (it should be noted that only the position of the lowest water level line L is shown in the figure). This ensures that when the water in the receiving cavity is heated below the lowest water level line, it prevents household appliances from rusting and forming scale.
[0039] In other embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figures 5 to 8The household appliance also includes a heating device 300, which is disposed at the bottom of the receiving cavity. Since the heated portion of the household appliance is also prone to rust during use, in this embodiment, the coating 200 can be formed on the inner surface of the bottom wall 110 at the position corresponding to the heating device 300 (see structural schematic diagram). Figure 5 Therefore, by forming the coating 200 on the inner surface of the cavity corresponding to the location where rust is more likely to form, the household appliance is less prone to rust and scale buildup, and has good corrosion resistance. At the same time, it is low in cost and easy to industrialize.
[0040] According to embodiments of the present invention, the type of heating device 300 is not particularly limited; for example, it can be a heating plate, a heating mesh, etc. Therefore, it can be applied to a wide variety of household appliances, resulting in a broad range of applications.
[0041] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the coating 200 is formed on the inner surface of the bottom wall 110 at the position corresponding to the heating device 300, and on the inner surface of the position where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 are connected (see structural schematic diagram). Figure 6 Since the inner surface of the housing cavity corresponding to the heating device 300 and the inner surface of the location where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 are connected are the locations where scale and rust are more likely to form during the use of the household appliance, this embodiment can minimize the formation of scale and rust on the inner surface of the housing cavity of the household appliance while keeping costs low.
[0042] In some other embodiments of the invention, the coating 200 may also be formed on the entire inner surface of the receiving cavity (see schematic diagram). Figure 7 Therefore, since the coating 200 is formed on the entire inner surface of the receiving cavity, the corrosion resistance, rust resistance, and scale resistance of the household appliance can be optimized, and scale and rust are not easily generated on the entire inner surface of the receiving cavity. However, this embodiment is more expensive than the embodiment described above.
[0043] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the connection between the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 is smoothly transitioned (see structural schematic diagram). Figure 8Therefore, during the use of this household appliance, the inner surface where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 connect is no longer a location prone to scale buildup or rust. Thus, in this embodiment, the coating 200 can be formed only on the inner surface of the bottom wall 110 corresponding to the heating device 300, i.e., the coating 200 is formed at the bottom of the receiving cavity. This further reduces the production cost of the household appliance, making it easier to industrialize, while ensuring that the appliance is less prone to scale buildup and rust after use.
[0044] In some other embodiments of the invention, the household appliance further includes a water supply pipe 400 connected to the receiving cavity, and the coating 200 is formed on at least a portion of the inner surface of the water supply pipe 400 (see schematic diagram). Figure 9 After prolonged use, scale easily forms on the inner surface of the water supply pipe 400 in household appliances. Excessive scale buildup can easily cause blockages in the water supply pipe 400. Furthermore, excessive scale can lead to corrosion on the inner surface of the water supply pipe 400, increasing the risk of rupture. If the water supply pipe ruptures, the household appliance is prone to electrical leakage when powered on, and in severe cases, it can even cause a fire. In this embodiment, the coating 200 is formed on the inner surface of the water supply pipe 400. Due to the good corrosion resistance and low surface energy of the quasi-crystalline material, scale formation on the inner surface of the water supply pipe 200 can be effectively inhibited, thus increasing the safety factor of the household appliance and making it suitable for practical applications.
[0045] According to embodiments of the present invention, the type of household appliance is not particularly limited, and may include, for example, a kettle, a health-preserving kettle, a garment steamer, a humidifier, or a water heater. Depending on the structure of the different types of household appliances, when the appliance is a kettle or a health-preserving kettle, the receiving cavity is the body of the kettle or health-preserving kettle, and the coating 200 may be formed on the inner surface of the location where the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120 connect, or on the inner surface of the location corresponding to the heating device 300. In other embodiments of the present invention, the household appliance may be a garment steamer or a humidifier, and the receiving cavity is the evaporator of the garment steamer or humidifier, in which case the coating 200 may be formed on the entire inner surface of the receiving cavity or only on the inner surface of the bottom wall 110 at the location corresponding to the heating device. In still other embodiments of the present invention, the household appliance may be a water heater, and the water supply pipe 400 is the water pipe of the water heater. Therefore, the household appliance can be any kind of household appliance. As long as the coating 200 on the inner surface of the household appliance contains quasi-crystalline material, it can be ensured that the household appliance is not easy to rust or build up scale, and has good corrosion resistance.
[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the coating 200 comprises a plurality of sub-coatings stacked sequentially from bottom to top, wherein at least two of the sub-coatings have different quasicrystalline material particle sizes, and the quasicrystalline material forming the uppermost sub-coating has the smallest particle size. (Refer to...) Figure 10 Taking the coating 200 as an example, which includes two sub-coatings 201a and 201b stacked sequentially from bottom to top, the particle size of the quasicrystalline material in sub-coating 201b is smaller than that in sub-coating 201a. Therefore, the coating can be further made to have good non-stick properties, low cost, simple preparation process, and easy industrialization.
[0047] In other embodiments of the invention, the coating 200 comprises a plurality of sub-coatings stacked sequentially from bottom to top, wherein the particle size of the quasicrystalline material in at least one of the sub-coatings is larger than the particle size of the quasicrystalline material in at least one sub-coating located above it. (Refer to...) Figure 10 Taking the coating 200 as an example, which includes two sub-coatings 201a and 201b stacked sequentially from bottom to top, the particle size of the quasicrystalline material in sub-coating 201b is smaller than that in sub-coating 201a. Therefore, the coating can be further made to have good non-stick properties, low cost, simple preparation process, and easy industrialization.
[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the quasicrystalline material forming the uppermost sub-coating layer has the smallest particle size (it should be noted that "smallest" here means that among the quasicrystalline materials forming multiple sub-coating layers, the quasicrystalline material forming the uppermost sub-coating layer has the smallest particle size). Since the quasicrystalline material forming the uppermost sub-coating layer has the smallest particle size at this time, the uppermost sub-coating layer is more dense, which further improves the non-stick properties of the coating. Furthermore, the combination of large-particle-size quasicrystalline material and small-particle-size quasicrystalline material further enhances the wear resistance and non-stick properties of the formed coating, making it particularly suitable for use in cooking equipment.
[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the quasicrystalline material forming the bottommost sub-coating layer has the largest particle size (it should be noted that "largest" here means that among the quasicrystalline materials forming multiple sub-coating layers, the quasicrystalline material forming the bottommost sub-coating layer has the largest particle size). Since the quasicrystalline material forming the bottommost sub-coating layer has the largest particle size at this time, the coating has a stronger bond with the substrate, and can further increase porosity, thereby further reducing thermal conductivity. This allows for more uniform heat conduction of the substrate and further reduces local overheating, thus further preventing scorching.
[0050] According to embodiments of the present invention, the description used herein as "the quasicrystalline materials forming the plurality of sub-coatings have different particle sizes" means that the particle size of the quasicrystalline materials forming the plurality of sub-coatings is such that it is sufficient to ensure that any two sub-coatings have different particle sizes.
[0051] According to embodiments of the present invention, the type, composition, and proportions of the quasicrystalline material are not particularly limited. In some embodiments of the present invention, the quasicrystalline material can be an Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystalline material, wherein the atomic ratio of Al (aluminum), Cu (copper), Fe (iron), and Cr (chromium) can be (60-70):(15-25):(5-15):(5-15). Therefore, the material is widely available, readily available, and has low cost, is easy to industrialize, and possesses high hardness and high wear resistance.
[0052] According to embodiments of the present invention, the content of quasicrystalline material in the coating 200 can be 20%-90%, for example, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, etc. This further results in a coating with good non-stick properties, low cost, simple preparation process, and ease of industrialization.
[0053] According to embodiments of the present invention, the porosity of the coating 200 can be 0.1%-20%. In some embodiments of the present invention, the porosity of the coating 200 can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, etc. Therefore, the porosity of the coating 200 is relatively small, resulting in a larger contact angle, which further improves the non-stickiness of the coating 200. Furthermore, the porosity range of the coating 200 is moderate, providing reasonable porosity to reduce stress concentration and prevent cracking, while avoiding excessive porosity that could decrease coating hardness and wear resistance, thus affecting the durability of the coating 200.
[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the porosity of the coating is 0.5-5.0%. The inventors have discovered that when the coating has a certain porosity, it not only provides insulation, effectively preventing food from burning or charring due to excessively rapid heating or uneven local heating during the heating process, but also allows the coating to form a specular reflection overall and diffuse reflection on local surfaces, further reducing heat loss. Conversely, if the porosity of the coating is too high, it will affect the bonding force between the quasicrystalline layer and the bottom and sidewalls of the cavity, as well as its corrosion resistance to the bottom and sidewalls. Therefore, by controlling the porosity of the quasicrystalline layer to 0.5-5.0% in the present invention, the energy-saving effect can be further improved while ensuring that the quasicrystalline layer has non-stick and corrosion-resistant properties.
[0055] According to embodiments of the present invention, the thermal conductivity of the coating 200 can be 0.1-3 W / m·K. In some embodiments of the present invention, the thermal conductivity of the coating 200 can be 0.1 W / m·K, 0.2 W / m·K, 0.5 W / m·K, 1 W / m·K, 2 W / m·K, 3 W / m·K, etc. Therefore, the thermal conductivity of the coating 200 is suitable, allowing heat to be evenly distributed on the surface of the household appliance when heating it, resulting in good heating effect.
[0056] According to embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the coating 200 can be 20-200 micrometers. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the coating 200 can be 20 micrometers, 40 micrometers, 60 micrometers, 80 micrometers, 100 micrometers, 120 micrometers, 140 micrometers, 160 micrometers, 180 micrometers, 200 micrometers, etc. Therefore, the coating 200 has a moderate thickness, ensuring good non-stick properties, wear resistance, and hardness, without causing material waste, resulting in low cost and ease of industrialization.
[0057] According to embodiments of the present invention, the surface roughness of the coating 200 is 0.08-1.25 micrometers. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the surface roughness of the coating 200 can be 0.08 micrometers, 1 micrometer, 1.25 micrometers, etc. Therefore, the low surface roughness of the coating 200 further enhances its non-stick properties, making the household appliance less prone to rusting and scale formation after contact with water.
[0058] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the coating can be a silver reflective surface. In this invention, by making the surface of the coating a silver reflective surface, achieving a certain gloss level and controlling the gloss level Ra to be 0.08-1.25 μm, the coating can also reflect heat back to the food during cooking, similar to the silver layer on a thermos, thereby achieving energy saving. Thus, the inner liner not only has excellent and lasting non-stick properties, but also facilitates even heating of food during cooking while achieving energy-saving effects.
[0059] According to embodiments of the present invention, the quasicrystalline material has an icosahedral or tridecahedral microstructure. Therefore, the quasicrystalline coating formed on the surface of the quasicrystalline material exhibits high hardness and high wear resistance.
[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the coating has an uneven structure. This allows the coating to exhibit both good hydrophobicity and non-stick properties.
[0061] According to embodiments of the present invention, the valence electron concentration of the quasicrystalline material can be 1.5-2.5. Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the valence electron concentration of the quasicrystalline material can be 1.6-1.86. In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the valence electron concentration of the quasicrystalline material can be 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.86, etc. Therefore, when the alloy is prepared in the factory with a valence electron concentration within this range, the quasicrystalline content in the resulting coating 200 will be relatively high.
[0062] According to embodiments of the present invention, the material of the receiving cavity may include, but is not limited to, metal, ceramic, or plastic. The shape of the receiving cavity, as well as the specific shapes of the bottom wall 110 and the side wall 120, are not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can flexibly choose according to needs. In some embodiments of the present invention, the material of the receiving cavity may be stainless steel, copper, aluminum, etc. Therefore, the household appliance described in the present invention can be any kind of household appliance used in daily life, and has a wide range of applications.
[0063] According to embodiments of the present invention, as long as the coating 200 contains a quasicrystalline material, the household appliance will not easily rust, will not easily form scale, and will have good corrosion resistance. Whether it contains other types of materials is not particularly limited. In some embodiments of the present invention, the coating 200 may be formed solely of a quasicrystalline material. This quasicrystalline material has good corrosion resistance and high hardness, resulting in excellent corrosion resistance of the coating and higher surface strength and durability for the household appliance. In other embodiments of the present invention, the coating 200 may include other types of materials besides the quasicrystalline material, such as Teflon and ceramic non-stick materials. Therefore, since Teflon and ceramic non-stick materials also have certain non-stick properties, the quasicrystalline material, in combination with Teflon and ceramic non-stick materials, further enhances the rust resistance and scale resistance of the household appliance.
[0064] In other embodiments of the present invention, the receiving cavity may also contain the quasicrystalline material at the position corresponding to the coating 200. Because the receiving cavity contains the quasicrystalline material, it can be ensured that even if the outer coating peels off or cracks, the quasicrystalline material in the receiving cavity can still prevent the household appliance from rusting, from forming scale, and has good corrosion resistance, thereby further improving the overall performance of the household appliance.
[0065] In other embodiments of the present invention, the quasicrystalline material may also be present in the bottom wall and / or side wall of the receiving cavity at the position corresponding to the coating 200. Because the bottom wall and / or side wall of the receiving cavity contains the quasicrystalline material, it can be ensured that even if the outer coating peels off or cracks, the quasicrystalline material in the bottom wall and / or side wall of the receiving cavity can still prevent the household appliance from rusting, from forming scale, and has good corrosion resistance, thereby further improving the overall performance of the household appliance.
