[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] This embodiment provides a dishwasher, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, including: an inner tank 1; an electrolytic disinfection module 2, provided upstream of the inner tank 1, the electrolytic disinfection module 2 including an electrolytic chamber; a pipeline assembly, connecting the inner tank 1 and the electrolytic disinfection module 2, a pipeline water inlet 4 being provided on the pipeline assembly, the electrolytic disinfection module 2 being located downstream of the pipeline water inlet 4; a salt feeding mechanism, connected to a portion of the pipeline assembly upstream of the electrolytic chamber.

[0051] Inject electrolyte solution into the pipe assembly through the pipe inlet 4. After the electrolyte solution enters the electrolytic disinfection module 2, disinfected water is produced through electrolysis. The disinfected water enters the inner tank 1 to disinfect the tableware in the inner tank 1. Thus, the tableware can be disinfected inside the dishwasher. At the same time, the disinfected water passing through the pipe will also disinfect the internal structures of the dishwasher such as the pipe assembly, the inner tank 1, and the electrolytic disinfection module 2. Therefore, even if there is residual disinfected water in the internal structures of the dishwasher after the disinfection treatment, bacteria will not grow and unpleasant odors are not easily generated. Among them, salt can also be added to the pipe assembly upstream of the electrolytic chamber or other components through which the water flows through the salt dosing mechanism. Water is injected into the pipe assembly through the pipe inlet 4. Before entering the electrolytic disinfection module 2 or when entering the electrolytic disinfection module 2, the water contacts the salt to fully dissolve the salt to form an electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution further flows into the electrolytic disinfection module 2 and produces disinfected water through electrolysis.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, it further includes: a respirator 5, provided on the back surface 11 of the inner tank 1, and the respirator 5 is provided upstream of the electrolytic disinfection module 2. As an alternative embodiment, the respirator 5 is provided at the bottom of the inner tank 1. As another alternative embodiment, the respirator 5 is provided on the side surface of the inner tank 1.

[0053] In this embodiment, an opening is provided on the inner tank 1, a door body is provided on the opening, and the surface of the inner tank 1 corresponding to the opening is the back surface 11. The surface below the opening is the bottom surface.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, when the respirator 5 is provided on the back surface 11 of the inner tank 1, it is provided close to the edge of the back surface 11 of the inner tank 1.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a flow meter 51 is provided on the respirator 5. The flow meter 51 can count the amount of water flowing through, so as to facilitate the statistical calculation of the amount of water and the amount of disinfected water. As an alternative embodiment, the flow meter 51 is provided on the pipe assembly, upstream of the inner tank 1.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the water inlet of the respirator 5 is communicated with the pipe inlet 4 through a first pipe, and the water outlet of the respirator 5 is communicated with the electrolytic disinfection module 2 through a second pipe.

[0057] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, asFigure 1 As shown, a water cup 12 is provided at the bottom of the inner container 1. The water cup 12 communicates with the inner container 1, and the water cup 12 is connected to the electrolytic disinfection module 2 through a third pipeline. The water cup 12 can transport the disinfected water into the inner container 1 for disinfection use. In one implementation, the water cup 12 communicates with the spray arm assembly or the spraying mechanism in the inner container 1, and the tableware inside the inner container 1 is disinfected through the spray arm assembly or the spraying mechanism. As an alternative implementation, as Figure 1 shown, a bottom cover 13 is provided at the bottom of the inner container 1. A disinfection chamber is formed between the bottom cover 13 and the bottom of the inner container 1, and the disinfection chamber is located downstream of the water cup 12. The disinfection chamber can be an additional disinfection space independent of the inner container 1. After the tableware is washed, it is transferred to the disinfection chamber, and thus disinfection treatment is carried out in the disinfection chamber.

[0058] Based on the above implementation, as a further defined implementation, as Figure 1 shown, a first valve body 21 and a second valve body 22 are provided on the pipeline assembly. The first valve body 21 is provided on the second pipeline, and the second valve body 22 is provided on the third pipeline.

[0059] When the first valve body 21 is opened and the second valve body 22 is closed, the electrolyte solution or water enters the electrolysis chamber through the electrolysis water inlet 242 and accumulates in the electrolysis chamber. When the first valve body 21 and the second valve body 22 are both closed, the electrolytic disinfection module 2 is separated from the pipeline assembly, and the electrolyte solution is sealed in the electrolysis chamber for full electrolysis, thereby preparing disinfected water. When the first valve body 21 is closed and the second valve body 22 is opened, the prepared disinfected water flows into the inner container 1.

[0060] Based on the above implementation, as a further defined implementation, as Figure 1 shown, the third pipeline is provided at the bottom of the inner container 1, and the electrolytic disinfection module 2 and the water cup 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the third pipeline. The electrolytic disinfection module 2 is arranged at the bottom of the inner container 1. Through the separation function of the third pipeline, a space for placing the electrolytic disinfection module 2 is formed at the bottom of the inner container 1. Among them, as Figure 1 shown, the bottom cover 13 and the electrolytic disinfection module 2 are located between the second pipeline and the third pipeline. The bottom cover 13 bulges relative to the bottom of the inner container 1, and a disinfection chamber is formed between the bottom cover 13 and the inner container 1. The raised disinfection chamber is at the bottom of the inner container 1 and together with the second pipeline and the third pipeline encloses a space for placing and installing the electrolytic disinfection module 2, which is convenient for the assembly of workpieces, realizes quick positioning and installation, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0061] There is no specific limitation on the installation position of the electrolytic disinfection module 2. Based on the above implementation, as a further defined implementation, as Figure 1As shown, the electrolytic disinfection module 2 is disposed below the inner tank 1. The salt feeding mechanism includes: a salt feeding pipe 3, and the salt feeding port of the salt feeding pipe 3 extends outside the housing of the dishwasher; the salt feeding port 31 and / or the body of the salt feeding pipe 3 are adapted to be connected to a chloride ion storage. The salt feeding pipe 3 can extend the salt feeding port to the outside of the dishwasher, so as to facilitate the user to add salt into the dishwasher from the outside of the dishwasher, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 above the dishwasher shown, so as to dissolve in the dishwasher to form an electrolyte solution, and electrolyze in the electrolytic chamber to prepare disinfected water. As an alternative embodiment, the electrolytic disinfection module 2 is disposed above the inner tank 1 or on the side wall of the inner tank 1. As another alternative embodiment, the salt feeding port extends to the outside of the dishwasher and is located on the side of the dishwasher.

[0062] There is no specific limitation on the structure of the electrolytic disinfection module 2. On the basis of the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, such as Figures 3 - 5 shown, the electrolytic disinfection module 2 includes: a housing, an electrolytic chamber is provided in the housing, and an electrolytic water inlet 242 and an electrolytic water outlet 243 communicating with the electrolytic chamber are provided on the housing; an electrode assembly, including a first electrode 231 and a second electrode 241 provided on the housing; a salt feeding mechanism, including a salt feeding pipe 3, and the salt feeding pipe 3 communicates with the electrolytic chamber.

[0063] The electrolyte solution is injected into the electrolytic disinfection module 2 through the salt feeding mechanism. After the electrolyte solution enters the electrolytic disinfection module 2, disinfected water is prepared by electrolysis. The disinfected water enters the inner tank 1 to disinfect the tableware in the inner tank 1. Thus, the tableware is disinfected in the dishwasher. At the same time, the disinfected water will disinfect the internal structures of the dishwasher such as the pipeline assembly, the inner tank 1, and the electrolytic disinfection module 2 through the pipeline. Therefore, even if there is residual disinfected water in the internal structure of the dishwasher after disinfection treatment, bacteria will not breed and odor is not easily generated. Among them, salt can also be added to the pipeline assembly upstream of the electrolytic chamber or other components through which water flows through the salt feeding mechanism. When the water enters the electrolytic disinfection module 2, it contacts the salt to dissolve the salt to form an electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution further flows into the electrolytic disinfection module 2 and disinfected water is prepared by electrolysis.

[0064] On the basis of the above embodiments, as a further defined embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, at least one salt feeding port is provided on the salt feeding pipe 3.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, a salt feeding device is detachably provided on the salt feeding port. The specific form of the salt feeding device may be a salt feeding box, and the salt feeding box is detachably connected to the salt feeding pipe 3. The salt in the salt feeding box is replenished by disassembling the salt feeding box, so that after the salt feeding box is installed, the salt feeding box replenishes salt to the salt feeding pipe 3 and the electrolytic disinfection module 2.

[0066] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, the housing includes: a first housing 23, the first electrode 231 is provided on the first housing 23, and a first bridge circuit structure 232 is provided on the outside of the first housing 23; a second housing 24, the second electrode 241 is provided on the second housing 24, and a second bridge circuit structure 245 is provided on the outside of the second housing 24.

[0067] The first electrode 231 and the second electrode 241 are respectively powered through the first bridge circuit structure 232 and the second bridge circuit structure 245, so that the first electrode 231 and the second electrode 241 become the anode and cathode in the electrolysis process. As Figure 3 shown, the first bridge circuit structure and the second bridge circuit structure 245 are both provided with a tab structure or a terminal block structure for power connection. On the other hand, the separately arranged first housing 23 and second housing 24 can be independently manufactured during the manufacturing process, and the cathode circuit and the anode circuit are completely independent and not easily mixed, which improves the manufacturing efficiency on the one hand and improves the efficiency for subsequent assembly and installation on the other hand.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, both the first electrode 231 and the second electrode 241 are sheet metal plates.

[0069] During the electrolysis process, the sheet metal plate can increase the contact area between the electrode and the electrolyte solution, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency. As an alternative embodiment, the first electrode 231 and / or the second electrode 241 is a columnar structure or a curved or wavy structure.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, as a further limited embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, there are multiple first electrodes 231 and second electrodes 241, and two second electrodes 241 are provided on both sides of each first electrode 231. As an alternative embodiment, multiple first motors are provided between the two second electrodes 241. As another alternative embodiment, the first electrode 231 and the second electrode 241 are respectively provided on both sides of the electrolytic chamber.

[0071] On the basis of the above - mentioned embodiments, as a further - defined embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, both the electrolytic water inlet 242 and the electrolytic water outlet 243 are arranged on the second housing 24. The water flow at the electrolytic water inlet 242 and the electrolytic water outlet 243 is more turbulent. Arranging them on the second housing 24 can prevent the turbulent water flow from impacting the joint part of the first housing 23 and the second housing 24.

[0072] On the basis of the above - mentioned embodiments, as a further - defined embodiment, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the electrolytic water inlet 242 and the electrolytic water outlet 243 are respectively arranged on two opposite side surfaces of the second housing 24. The channel between the electrode plates is parallel to the connection line of the electrolytic water inlet 242 and the electrolytic water outlet 243. Therefore, the channel between the electrode plates is parallel to the water flow direction, and the water flow can impact the surface of the electrode plates to achieve self - cleaning of the electrode plate surface. On the other hand, as Figure 1 、 Figure 4 shown, the salt feeding pipe 3 communicates with the electrolytic chamber, and the opening of the electrolytic chamber faces the second electrode 241 directly. At this time, when the water flow enters the electrolytic chamber through the second pipeline, it can directly wash away the salt accumulated near the salt feeding pipe 3, so that it can be fully dissolved in the electrolytic chamber.

[0073] On the basis of the above - mentioned embodiments, as a further - defined embodiment, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, a reduced - diameter part 244 is arranged at the part where the electrolytic water inlet 242 and the electrolytic water outlet are located. The inner diameter of the channel of the reduced - diameter part 244 gradually increases along the direction of entering the electrolytic chamber. The inner wall of the reduced - diameter part 244 is a conical surface. The reduced - diameter part 244 on the side of the electrolytic water inlet 242 has a guiding function, which can fully guide and diffuse the incoming water flow into the electrolytic chamber, making the water flow pass through the channel between the second electrodes 241 more evenly. The reduced - diameter part 244 on the side of the electrolytic water outlet 243 can pressurize the disinfected water about to flow out of the electrolytic chamber, increasing the pressure of the disinfected water flowing out.

[0074] On the basis of the above - mentioned embodiments, as a further - defined embodiment, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the first housing 23 and the second housing 24 are welded together, and the welding surface of the first housing 23 and / or the second housing 24 is a stepped - surface structure 26.

[0075] In this embodiment, the working principle of the dishwasher is as follows:

[0076] Cathode: 2Cl⁻ - 2e⁻ = Cl₂

[0077] Anode: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ = H₂ + 2OH⁻

[0078] Overall reaction: 2Cl- + 2H2O = H2 + Cl2 + 2OH-

[0079] A disproportionation reaction will occur between chlorine gas and water: Cl2 + H2O = HCl + HClO. The generated HClO has certain oxidizing properties itself, thus achieving the killing effect on bacteria and viruses.

[0080] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of this invention.
