Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water treatment technology, and in particular to a water treatment apparatus and a water tank having therein. Background Technology

[0002] The relevant technology points out that existing food purification and sterilization products based on water catalyst or electrochemical principles have the following two main shortcomings: the ROS active sterilization components take a long time to penetrate into the entire water tank during electrochemical operation; and they cannot achieve a deep cleaning effect on the mud and sand on the surface of fruits and vegetables.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 5 A water treatment apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a water treatment apparatus 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a microbubble generating component 1, a ROS ion generating component 2, and a connector 3.

[0036] Specifically, the microbubble generating component 1 is used to generate microbubbles. The microbubbles have a small diameter and typically include micron-sized or nano-sized bubbles. When soaking and washing fruits and vegetables with microbubble water, the microbubbles can effectively penetrate into the skin and folds of the fruits and vegetables, breaking down pesticide residues or dirt on the skin. The ROS ion generating component 2 can be used to generate ROS ions (reactive oxygen species, ROS), which can be used for sterilization. The microbubble generating component 1 and the ROS ion generating component 2 are respectively located on the connector 3. The connector 3 is configured to place the ROS ion generating component 2 in the flow path of the microbubbles, so that the ROS ions generated by the ROS ion generating component 2 can adhere to the surface of the microbubbles generated by the microbubble generating component 1.

[0037] According to the water treatment device 100 of the present invention, by configuring the connector 3 to be suitable for placing the ROS ion generating component 2 on the flow path of the microbubbles, the ROS ions generated by the ROS ion generating component 2 can combine with the microbubbles generated by the microbubble generating component 1. As a result, the microbubbles can accelerate the flow of concentrated liquid in the local area of ​​the electrode plate in the ROS ion generating component 2, so that the electrochemical reaction equilibrium is constantly broken again, accelerating the ROS ion generation efficiency, and greatly increasing the effective ROS components generated per unit time. At the same time, the microbubbles carrying ROS ions can more easily reach the depths of food. For example, the microbubbles can carry ROS ions to effectively penetrate into the skin and folds of fruits and vegetables, breaking down pesticide residues and greatly improving the food purification capacity. On the other hand, the microbubbles can release strong kinetic energy when they burst on the surface of food, which helps to clean the mud and sand on the surface of food or items to be cleaned.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The connector 3 is formed as a connecting plate, which can extend vertically. The ROS ion generating component 2 can be installed on one side surface of the connecting plate along the thickness direction (e.g., the front surface of the connecting plate), and the microbubble generating component 1 is installed on the other side surface of the connecting plate along the thickness direction (e.g., the rear surface of the connecting plate). The connecting plate has a through hole connecting one side surface and the other side surface so that the microbubble generating component 1 and the ROS ion generating component 2 are in fluid communication. This allows the microbubbles generated by the microbubble generating component 1 to flow through the through hole to the vicinity of the ROS ion generating component 2 and then combine with the ROS ions generated by the ROS ion generating component 2.

[0039] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the ROS ion generating component 2 and the microbubble generating device 11 (the microbubble generating device 11 of the microbubble generating component 1 described below) can be located on the same side of the connector 3, while other parts of the microbubble generating component 1 can be located on the other side of the connector 3. In this case, through holes can be provided on the connecting plate to connect the microbubble generating device 11 with other parts of the microbubble generating component 1 through the through holes, thereby facilitating the supply of gas into the microbubble generating device 11 to generate microbubbles.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connector 3 has a first mounting part on one side surface, and the microbubble generating component 1 is fixedly connected to the first mounting part. The connector 3 has a second mounting part on the other side surface, and the ROS ion generating component 2 is fixedly connected to the second mounting part. Thus, the installation of the microbubble generating component and the ROS ion generating component 2 do not interfere with each other, which facilitates assembly.

[0041] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 The first mounting part may include a flexible vibration damping frame 32. Specifically, the flexible vibration damping frame 32 is fixedly connected to the connector 3. The flexible vibration damping frame 32 has an arc-shaped fixing part 33 adapted to the outer surface of the microbubble generating component 1. The arc-shaped fixing part 33 is suitable for being sleeved on the outer wall of the microbubble generating component 1. Bolt holes may be formed at both ends of the arc-shaped fixing part 33. Correspondingly, bolt holes may also be formed on the outer wall of the connector 3. In this way, the connector 3 and the flexible vibration damping frame 32 can be connected by bolts.

[0042] In a specific example, the flexible vibration damper 32 can be a silicone part. Since the flexible vibration damper 32 of the silicone part has a certain elasticity, it can better buffer the vibration of the microbubble generating component 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second mounting part includes a receiving groove 31, which can be formed by a portion of the front surface of the connector 3 recessed rearward. The ROS ion generating component 2 can be disposed in the receiving groove 31. The ROS ion generating component 2 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 31 to facilitate the flow of microbubbles. At least a portion of the side wall of the receiving groove 31 extends outward towards the opening. For example, in the front-rear direction, the lower side wall of the receiving groove 31 can extend forward and downward from its bottom wall, so that water or sediment in the receiving groove 31 can be discharged.

[0044] Furthermore, the angle between the lower sidewall of the receiving tank 31 and the horizontal plane is in the range of 30°-70°. For example, the angle between the lower sidewall of the receiving tank 31 and the horizontal plane can be 30°, 40°, 50°, 60° or 70°. Preferably, the angle between the lower sidewall of the receiving tank 31 and the horizontal plane is 45°. In this way, when the connecting member 3 is provided on the sidewall of the water tank 1000 and connected to the water tank 1000 for washing fruits, vegetables or other items, it is convenient for water and mud entering the receiving tank 31 to be discharged along the inclined lower sidewall.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The ROS ion generating component 2 may include an anodic electrolysis device and a cathodic electrolysis device. The anodic electrolysis device includes at least one first electrode plate 21, and the cathodic electrolysis device includes at least one second electrode plate 22. Both the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22 are formed in a mesh shape. The first electrode plate 21 has a plurality of first perforations and a plurality of perforations extending through the first electrode plate 21 along the thickness direction. The second electrode plate 22 has a plurality of second perforations extending through the second electrode plate 22 along the thickness direction. The microbubbles generated by the microbubble generating component 1 are adapted to pass through the first perforations and the second perforations in sequence and combine with the ROS ions generated by the ROS ion generating component 2.

[0046] In some embodiments, the receiving tank 31 is provided with an electrical connection part 34, which is adapted to be electrically connected to the ROS ion generating component 2, so that the ROS ion generating component 2 can generate ROS ions by electrochemical means.

[0047] Furthermore, the electrical connection portion 34 may include: a first electrode connection portion 341 and a second electrode connection portion 342. The first electrode connection portion 341 is adapted to be electrically connected to the first electrode plate 21, and the second electrode connection portion 342 is adapted to be electrically connected to the second electrode plate 22. The ROS ion generating assembly 2 also includes a first conductive connector 3 and a second conductive connector 3.

[0048] For example Figure 3As shown, the first electrode connection portion 341 is formed in the shape of a frustum, and a first bolt hole is formed on the first electrode connection portion 341. A first electrode connection hole 211 that mates with the first bolt hole is formed on the first electrode plate 21. A first conductive connector 3 is formed as a conductive bolt, and a second conductive connector 3 is formed as a conductive bolt. The first electrode connection portion 341 and the first electrode plate 21 are electrically connected by the first conductive connector 3 passing through the first bolt hole and the first electrode connection hole 211 in sequence. The second electrode connection portion 342 is formed in the shape of a frustum, and a third bolt hole is formed on the second electrode connection portion 342. A second electrode connection hole 221 that mates with the third bolt hole is formed on the second electrode plate 22. The second electrode connection portion 342 and the second electrode plate 22 are electrically connected by the second conductive connector 3 passing through the third bolt hole and the second electrode connection hole 221 in sequence.

[0049] Furthermore, the receiving tank 31 is also provided with multiple fixing parts 33, and the ROS ion generating assembly 2 can be fixedly connected to the connector 3 through the fixing parts 33.

[0050] For example Figure 3 As shown, multiple connecting columns are formed on the bottom wall of the receiving tank 31, and the multiple connecting columns are arranged at intervals. Multiple mounting holes are formed on the ROS ion generating component 2. The multiple connecting columns and the multiple mounting holes correspond to and are adapted to each other. The ROS ion generating component 2 and the connector 3 can be connected by the connecting columns passing through the mounting holes.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The microbubble generating component 1 may include a microbubble generating device 11, an air driving device 12, and an air guide pipe 13. Specifically, the microbubble generating device 11 can be used to generate microbubbles, and the microbubble generating device 11 has a bubble outlet. For example, the microbubble generating device 11 can be an aeration stone. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the microbubble generating device 11 can also be other devices that can generate microbubbles or nanobubbles.

[0052] The air drive device 12 can be used to drive air to flow to the microbubble generator 11. For example, the air drive device 12 can be an air pump. The air guide pipe 13 is used to connect the air drive device 12 and the microbubble generator 11. The air guide pipe 13 has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air outlet of the air drive device 12, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the microbubble generator 11. Thus, the air drive device 12 can drive air to flow through the air guide pipe 13 to the microbubble generator 11, thereby generating microbubbles.

[0053] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The microbubble generating component 1 may further include a one-way valve 14, which is connected to the air guide pipe 13. The one-way valve 14 is located between the air drive device 12 and the microbubble generating device 11. Since the bubble outlet on the microbubble generating device 11 is small, there is a pressure difference between the air drive device 12 and the microbubble generating device 11. In this embodiment, the one-way valve 14 can prevent the air from flowing in reverse in the air guide pipe 13 due to the air pressure on the microbubble generating device 11 side being greater than the air pressure on the air drive device 12 side, thereby improving the aeration effect of the microbubble generating component 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water treatment device 100 may further include a housing 4. Specifically, the housing 4 is connected to the connector 3, and the housing 4 and the connector 3 together define a receiving cavity 41, in which at least a portion of the microbubble generating assembly 1 is disposed, for example... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the air duct 13 and the air drive device 12 are both located on the rear side of the connector 3 and inside the receiving cavity 41, while the microbubble generator 11 and the ROS ion generator 2 are both located on the front side of the connector 3. This can further shorten the distance between the ROS ion generator 2 and the microbubble generator 11, thereby shortening the distance between the microbubbles and ROS ions and allowing the ROS ions to combine more fully with the microbubbles.

[0055] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The microbubble generating component 1 can be entirely located within the receiving cavity 41. That is, the microbubble generating device 11, the air guide tube 13, and the air driving device 12 can all be located on the rear side of the connector 3 and within the receiving cavity 41. In this case, the ROS ion generating component 2 and the microbubble generating device 11 are located on the front and rear sides of the connector 3, respectively. Correspondingly, perforations suitable for the flow of microbubbles need to be opened on the connector 3 so that microbubbles can pass through the perforations and flow from the rear side of the connector 3 to the front side of the connector 3 and combine with ROS ions.

[0056] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The bottom wall of the receiving groove 31 of the connector 3 has an installation groove, and the microbubble generator 11 can be installed in the installation groove. The bubble outlet of the microbubble generator 11 is located near the ROS ion generating component 2. At this time, the groove wall of the installation groove is provided with a through hole for the gas guide tube 13 to pass through. The gas guide tube 13 can pass through the through hole to connect the air drive device 12 on the rear side of the connector 3 with the microbubble generator 11 on the front side of the connector 3, which makes the structure simpler.

[0057] The water tank 1000 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0058] A water tank 1000 according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: a water tank body 200 and a water treatment device 100 according to the above-described embodiments of the present invention.

[0059] Specifically, the sink body 200 has a washing chamber, and the water treatment device 100 is located in the sink body 200 and communicates with the washing chamber. In this way, when the sink 1000 is used to wash fruits, vegetables or other items, the water treatment device 100 can combine microbubbles and ROS ions, thereby extending the activity time of ROS ions. The water treatment device 100 can introduce a large number of microbubbles containing ROS ions into the washing water flowing out of the sink 1000, thereby greatly improving the washing effect.

[0060] According to the present invention, the water tank 1000, by connecting the water tank body 200 and the water treatment device 100, when the water tank 1000 is used to wash fruits, vegetables or other items, the water treatment device 100 can combine microbubbles and ROS ions, which can accelerate the flow of concentrated liquid in the local area of ​​the electrode plate in the ROS ion generating component 2, so that the electrochemical reaction balance is constantly broken again, accelerating the ROS ion generation efficiency, and greatly increasing the effective ROS components generated per unit time. The water treatment device 100 can introduce a large number of microbubbles containing ROS ions into the washing water flowing out of the water tank 1000, thereby greatly improving the washing effect.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water treatment device 100 has a mounting surface 35 adapted to the water tank body 200. The mounting surface 35 extends circumferentially along the water treatment device 100. The water treatment device 100 is mounted on the outer side wall of the water tank body 200 through the mounting surface 35, thereby making the structure simpler and easier to install.

[0062] For example, the water treatment device 100 may include a connector 3 (as described above), which can be used to connect to the water tank body 200. The connector 3 has a receiving groove 31 with an opening facing the water tank body 200. A mounting surface 35 is formed on the side surface of the connector 3 facing the water tank body 200 and located at the periphery of the opening of the receiving groove 31. The mounting surface 35 extends circumferentially along the receiving groove 31. In this way, the connector 3 can be connected to the outer wall of the water tank body 200 through the mounting surface 35.

[0063] In some embodiments, at least one of the outer wall of the sink body 200 and the mounting surface 35 has a guide portion (not shown in the figure). The guide portion can guide the water treatment device 100 when it is installed. For example, the outer wall of the sink body 200 may be provided with a guide portion, which may be formed as a conical body. A mating hole may be formed on the mounting surface 35. In this way, when the connector 3 of the water treatment device 100 is connected to the outer wall of the sink body 200, the guide portion can guide the mounting surface 35, thereby facilitating the connection between the water treatment device 100 and the sink body 200.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The sink body 200 and the water treatment device 100 are connected by multiple fasteners. The multiple fasteners are spaced apart along the extension direction of the mounting surface 35, which can further improve the connection stability between the sink body 200 and the water treatment device 100.

[0065] Furthermore, the water tank body 200 has a plurality of first connection holes, and the water treatment device 100 has a plurality of second connection holes 36, with each of the second connection holes 36 corresponding one-to-one with the plurality of first connection holes, for example... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole 36 are connected by fastener threads, which makes the connection structure between the water tank body 200 and the water treatment device 100 relatively simple, which facilitates processing and manufacturing and improves assembly efficiency.

[0066] Furthermore, the water tank 1000 may also be equipped with a sealing element, such as a rubber gasket or other sealing gasket. The sealing element is adapted to the shape of the mounting surface 35 and is located between the outer wall of the water tank 1000 and the mounting surface 35, thereby improving the connection and sealing between the water treatment device 100 and the water tank body 200, preventing leakage, and further improving the water treatment effect.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a connecting hole 201 is provided on the side wall of the water tank body 200, and the connecting hole 201 penetrates the side wall of the water tank body 200. The water treatment device 100 has a receiving tank 31. For example, the connector 3 of the water treatment device 100 may be provided with a receiving tank 31. Microbubbles and ROS ions are formed in the receiving tank 31. The receiving tank 31 is connected to the washing chamber through the connecting hole 201. This facilitates the flow of washing water mixed with microbubbles and ROS ions between the receiving tank 31 and the washing chamber to clean the items to be washed.

[0068] Furthermore, the connecting hole 201 includes multiple elongated holes, the long sides of which are parallel to the length direction of the receiving tank 31. For example, as shown in the figure, the receiving tank 31 is roughly formed into a square tank, and the long sides of the elongated holes are parallel to the horizontal edge of the receiving tank 31. This increases the horizontal connection area between the connecting hole 201 and the receiving tank 31, making it easier for microbubbles and ROS ions to enter the washing chamber through the connecting hole 201, and also facilitating the discharge of wastewater or sludge from the receiving tank 31 after washing through the connecting hole 201.

[0069] Furthermore, the multiple elongated holes include those along their width direction (i.e. Figure 1 Multiple groups of connecting holes are spaced apart (as shown in the vertical direction), and each of the multiple groups of connecting holes includes a length direction along the elongated hole (i.e., Figure 1 Multiple elongated holes (as shown in the left-right direction) are arranged in such a way that the side wall of the water tank body 200 facing the water treatment device 100 is formed into a grid shape, which can effectively prevent large-sized dirt from entering the water treatment device 100, and also facilitate the smooth discharge of mud and sand remaining in the receiving tank 31 of the water treatment device 100 after washing. At the same time, it facilitates the flow of microbubbles and ROS ions.

[0070] In some embodiments, multiple groups of connecting holes are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. In two adjacent groups of connecting holes, the width of at least a portion of the elongated holes in the lower group of connecting holes is greater than the width of the elongated holes in the upper group of connecting holes. That is, in the direction from top to bottom, the width of at least a portion of the elongated holes in the lower group of connecting holes is greater than the width of the elongated holes in the upper group of connecting holes. Alternatively, the width of any one of the elongated holes in the lower group of connecting holes may be greater than the width of any one of the elongated holes in the upper group of connecting holes. Since a lot of mud and sand are deposited near the lower sidewall of the receiving tank 31 during the washing process, increasing the width of the elongated holes that are relatively closer to the lower side is beneficial for discharging mud and sand or dirt.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, multiple sets of connecting holes are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. Each elongated hole within each connecting hole set has an equal width, and in any two adjacent connecting hole sets, the width of the elongated hole in the lower connecting hole set is greater than the width of the elongated hole in the upper connecting hole set. That is, from top to bottom, the width of the elongated holes in the multiple connecting hole sets gradually increases. Since a large amount of mud and sand accumulates near the lower sidewall of the receiving tank 31 during the washing process, increasing the width of the elongated holes relatively closer to the lower side is beneficial for discharging mud, sand, or dirt.

[0072] The following describes a water tank 1000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] The water tank 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a water tank body 200 and a water treatment device 100.

[0074] The sink body 200 defines a washing chamber, and the water treatment device 100 is located on the outer wall of the sink body 200 and communicates with the washing chamber.

[0075] The water treatment device 100 includes: a connector 3, a ROS ion generating component 2, and a microbubble generating component 1.

[0076] The connector 3 has a receiving groove 31 with a front opening. The periphery of the opening of the receiving groove 31 is formed as a mounting surface 35, which can be fixedly connected to the water tank body 200.

The first electrode plate 21 has a first electrode connection hole 211 that mates with the first bolt hole. The first conductive connector 3 is formed as a conductive bolt. The first electrode connection part 341 and the first electrode plate 21 are connected by the first conductive connector 3. Electrical connection is achieved by passing through the first bolt hole and the first electrode connection hole 211 in sequence; the second electrode connection part 342 is formed in the shape of a frustum, and a third bolt hole is formed on the second electrode connection part 342; a second electrode connection hole 221 that mates with the third bolt hole is formed on the second electrode plate 22; the second conductive connector 3 is formed as a conductive bolt; the second electrode connection part 342 and the second electrode plate 22 are electrically connected by the second conductive connector 3 passing through the third bolt hole and the second electrode connection hole 221 in sequence.

[0078] An installation groove is also formed on the bottom wall of the receiving tank 31. The microbubble generating component 1 includes: an aeration stone, an air guide pipe 13, a one-way valve 14, and an air pump. The aeration stone is located in the installation groove and is spaced apart from the ROS ion generating component 2 in the front-back direction. The air guide pipe 13, the one-way valve 14, and the air pump are located on the side surface of the connector 3 facing away from the receiving tank 31. The air guide pipe 13 is used to connect the aeration stone and the air pump. The one-way valve 14 is located on the air guide pipe 13. The groove wall of the installation groove has perforations suitable for the air guide pipe 13 to pass through, so that the air guide pipe 13 can pass through the perforations to connect the aeration stone and the air pump.

[0079] The working principle of the water tank 1000 according to the present invention is as follows: When the water tank 1000 is working, the microbubble generating component 1 is activated simultaneously. Air is compressed by the air pump and enters the air guide pipe 13, and then enters the aeration stone through the one-way valve 14. A large amount of air is compressed and a large number of microbubbles are released through the aeration stone. At the same time, with the help of the negative pressure kinetic energy generated by the microbubble generating device 11, the ROS ion active components generated near the ROS ion generating component 2 are returned. The returned ROS ion components mix with the microbubbles in the negative pressure area. The ROS (ROS ion) active components adhere to the surface of the microbubbles. Under forced pressure, the microbubbles pass through the areas on the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22, which accelerates their rapid diffusion in the water tank 1000, sterilizing and disinfecting the surface of the food in the water tank 1000 and reducing pesticide residues. At the same time, since the microbubbles can penetrate into the folds of the food surface, they can deliver the ROS ion components deep into the food, further improving the purification ability of the food. In addition, when the microbubbles burst, they release energy, which can help wash away the mud and sand on the surface of the food.
