[0036] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation methods should be understood as explanations of the purpose of the present invention and should not be regarded as improper limitations on the present invention.

[0037] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the "front", "rear", "lateral" orientation or position relationship is based on the attached Figure 1 The directions or positional relationships shown are based on the attached Figure 3 It should be understood that these directional terms are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] An embodiment of the present invention provides a clothes processing device, including a workbench assembly 1000 and a drum assembly (not shown).

[0039] The drum assembly has a washing cavity, and the clothes are placed in the washing cavity for washing. Exemplarily, the drum assembly includes an outer barrel and an inner barrel rotatably disposed in the outer barrel. In this embodiment, the space in the inner barrel is the washing cavity. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the clothes processing device can only be provided with the above-mentioned inner barrel without the outer barrel. In the embodiment of the present invention, the drum assembly is configured with the outer barrel and the inner barrel as an example for description.

[0040] The workbench assembly 1000 is disposed on the top of the drum assembly. The laundry processing device of the embodiment of the present invention may be a pulsator washing machine or an agitator washing machine. The present invention is described by taking the pulsator washing machine as an example.

[0041] It is understandable that the inner drum can be a perforated inner drum or a non-perforated inner drum. When the inner drum is a perforated inner drum, the outer drum is used to hold water; when the inner drum is a non-perforated inner drum, the inner drum itself is used to hold water, that is, the inner drum can hold both water and clothes, and the water in the inner drum will not enter the outer drum during the washing process. When the drum assembly only has an inner drum but no outer drum, the inner drum is a non-perforated inner drum.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The workbench assembly 1000 includes a workbench 1 and an electrolysis device 2. The workbench 1 serves as the main structure of the top of the clothing processing device. The workbench 1 is formed with a clothing delivery port 1a, and the clothing is dropped into the inner drum through the clothing delivery port 1a. That is to say, the workbench assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for clothing processing equipment that delivers clothing from the top to the inner drum. Exemplarily, an operation panel, a cover plate, etc. may be provided on the workbench 1. The cover plate is provided at the clothing delivery port 1a. When washing is required, the cover plate is opened and the clothing is dropped into the inner drum from the top of the clothing processing device. When washing is not required, the cover plate is used to close the clothing delivery port 1a. The operation panel can facilitate the user to select a washing program, etc.

[0043] Please continue reading Figure 3 , the electrolysis device 2 is arranged at the bottom side of the workbench 1, that is, the electrolysis device 2 is located at the side of the workbench 1 facing the cylinder assembly. Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The electrolysis device 2 includes a shell 21 and an electrolysis electrode 22. The shell 21 has an electrolysis chamber 21a. The electrolysis electrode 22 is arranged in the electrolysis chamber 21a. The electrolyzed water electrolyzed in the electrolysis chamber 21a can flow into the washing chamber of the clothing treatment device.

[0044] When the clothes processing device is working, tap water enters the electrolysis chamber 21a. The electrolyzed water after being electrolyzed by the electrolysis electrode 22 contains many microbubbles, hydroxyl radicals, etc., and then enters the washing chamber.

[0045] The water entering the washing chamber is electrolyzed by the electrolysis electrode 22, generating hydroxyl free radicals (·OH) with strong oxidizing activity. ·OH has an extremely high oxidation potential (2.80 eV) and extremely strong oxidizing ability. It can undergo a rapid chain reaction with most organic pollutants. ·OH can sterilize and disinfect at low temperatures without damaging clothes. A portion of ·OH reacts with chloride ions in tap water to generate active chlorine, which can exist for a long time and has a long-term antibacterial effect. A large number of hydroxyl free radicals will oxidize and destroy the chromophores of the dye molecules of colored clothes that are released into the water during the washing process, causing the dye to discolor, thereby preventing the free dye from being contaminated into light-colored clothes and causing color bleeding. The dye molecules will continue to react and decompose into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts. At the same time, the electrodes will generate a large number of hydrogen microbubbles. Since the diameter of the microbubbles is very small, usually less than 50um, they can penetrate into the fibers of clothing very well during the washing process. Through the explosion, adsorption and floating of microbubbles, they continuously generate microbubbles for circulation flushing, helping the detergent to thoroughly remove the sebum, grease, tiny dust and other dirt accumulated inside the fibers of clothing, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0046] The workbench assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention integrates the electrolysis device 2 with the workbench 1, which can be easily assembled. Specifically, during assembly, the workbench assembly 1000 can be assembled into a whole first. Since the workbench 1 has a relatively simple structure and is an open structure, it is easy to install the electrolysis device 2. After the workbench assembly 1000 is assembled, the workbench assembly 1000 and the barrel assembly can be assembled. This can reduce the difficulty of assembly, improve the assembly speed, save production time, and reduce production costs. In addition, the installation of the electrolysis device 2 fully utilizes the bottom side of the workbench 1 and the space between the outer barrel and the box body, which can make the structure of the clothing processing device more compact. Furthermore, the electrolysis device 2 of the embodiment of the present invention will not affect the sealing performance of the outer barrel, nor will it affect the installation structure of the outer barrel. Moreover, the electrolysis device 2 is arranged on the water inlet waterway of the detergent box 5, and there is no need to use an additional water pump. Regardless of whether there is water in the outer barrel, the electrolysis device 2 can be used normally.

[0047] The electrolysis device 2 can be installed in the space above the outer barrel at the bottom of the workbench, or in the space between the outer barrel and the box body. The specific location is not limited as long as it does not affect normal use.

[0048] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the workbench assembly 1000 further includes a detergent box 5 disposed on the bottom side of the workbench 1, that is, the detergent box 5 is located on the side of the workbench 1 facing the drum assembly. Figure 4 The detergent box 5 has a storage tank 5a for holding detergent, and the electrolysis chamber 21a is connected to the storage tank 5a to guide the electrolyzed water in the electrolysis chamber 21a to the storage tank 5a. The electrolyzed water in the electrolysis chamber 21a flows into the washing chamber of the clothing treatment device through the storage tank 5a. In this embodiment, the electrolyzed water in the electrolysis chamber 21a enters the storage tank 5a and dilutes the detergent stored in the storage tank 5a. The microbubbles can accelerate the dissolution of the detergent. After the detergent is dissolved, it enters the washing chamber together with the electrolyzed water to improve the washing effect.

[0049] The type of detergent contained in the storage tank 5a is not limited. For example, it can be a granular substance such as washing machine powder, or a viscous substance such as laundry detergent, which is not limited here.

[0050] The number of detergent boxes 5 is not limited, and can be one or more, which is not limited here.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6The workbench assembly 1000 includes a water inlet valve 3, which has a water inlet 3a, a first water outlet 3b and a second water outlet, wherein the first water outlet 3b is connected to the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device, illustratively, through the first pipeline 41; the second water outlet is connected to the storage tank 5a, and the water inlet valve 3 can selectively connect the water inlet 3a to the first water outlet 3b or the second water outlet. When electrolysis of water is required for sterilization, the water inlet is connected to the first water outlet 3b, and tap water enters the electrolysis chamber 21a through the water inlet valve 3, and the electrolyzed water after electrolysis by the electrolysis electrode 22 enters the storage tank 5a, and finally enters the outer barrel or the inner cylinder. When sterilization is not required, the water inlet is connected to the second water outlet, and the tap water enters the storage tank 5a directly through the water inlet valve 3, and finally enters the outer cylinder or the inner cylinder. That is to say, when sterilization is not required, the tap water enters the storage tank 5a directly from the water inlet valve 3 without passing through the electrolysis chamber 21a. This can speed up the water inlet speed when sterilization is not required and shorten the washing time.

[0052] The connection mode between the detergent box 5 and the workbench 1 is not limited.

[0053] For example, in one embodiment, the detergent box 5 is slidably disposed below the workbench 1 , that is, the detergent box 5 is a pull-out structure, and when detergent needs to be added, the detergent box 5 is pulled out and the detergent is directly added into the detergent box 5 .

[0054] For example, in another embodiment, the detergent box 5 is fixedly arranged on the bottom side of the workbench 1. For details, please refer to Figure 4 The workbench 1 has a detergent inlet 1b that runs through the workbench 1 along the height direction of the clothes processing device, and the detergent box 5 is sealed around the detergent inlet 1b. When detergent needs to be put in, the detergent can be directly put into the detergent box 5 from the detergent inlet 1b. It can be understood that in some embodiments, a shielding cover can be provided at the detergent inlet 1b to cover the detergent inlet 1b to prevent debris from entering the detergent box 5.

[0055] The detergent box 5 can be arranged on any side of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1a, for example, arranged on the back side, front side or any side of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1a. Figure 1, the detergent box 5 is arranged on the back side of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1a. Generally, the water inlet pipe is arranged on the back side of the clothing processing device. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the detergent box 5 is arranged on the back side of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1a, which can reduce the length of the water inlet pipe connected to the detergent box 5, facilitate pipe laying, and make the workbench assembly 1000 compact. In addition, the back and front sides of the workbench 1 generally have a large space, and the front side of the workbench 1 can be conveniently arranged with an operation panel, so that the operation panel is closer to the user, so that the user can use the operation panel more conveniently. Therefore, the detergent box 5 can be arranged on the back side of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1a.

[0056] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the front side, rear side or lateral side of the workbench 1 along the clothing loading opening 1a refers to, in the projection on the horizontal plane, Figure 1 The paper surface shown is a horizontal plane, with the clothing loading port 1a as a reference.

[0057] The electrolytic electrode 22 and the detergent box 5 are located on different sides of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1 a , which is conducive to fully utilizing the installation space on the bottom side of the workbench 1 .

[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electrolysis device 2 is located on one vertical side of the workbench 1 along the clothing inlet 1a. That is to say, in this way, the distance between the electrolysis device 2 and the detergent box 5 can be shortened, the pipeline length can be reduced, and the structural layout can be more reasonable under the condition of reasonable layout and distribution of the structure.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Fig. 9 The housing 21 has an electrolysis device water inlet 21c and an electrolysis device water outlet 21d in communication with the electrolysis chamber 21a. The electrolysis device water outlet 21d is located at one end of the housing 21 close to the detergent box 5, and the electrolysis device water inlet 21c is located at one end of the housing 21 away from the electrolysis device water outlet 21d. When the position of the electrolysis device 2 remains unchanged, the distance between the electrolysis device water outlet 21d and the electrolysis chamber 21a is closer than the distance between the electrolysis device water inlet 21c and the electrolysis chamber 21a, so that the electrolyzed water in the electrolysis chamber 21a can enter the storage tank 5a at a shorter distance, so that the microbubbles in the electrolyzed water can more effectively accelerate the dissolution of the detergent.

[0060] In one embodiment, the housing 21 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1 , for example, by screw connection, clamping connection, etc.

[0061] See also Figures 9 to 12The electrolysis electrode 22 includes an electrolysis cathode 221 and an electrolysis anode 222. It can be understood that in order to ensure the normal operation of the electrolysis function of the electrolysis device 2, the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222 should maintain an insulating interval, that is, there is no contact short circuit between the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to 10 to Fig.12 , the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222 are both in the shape of a plate, which can increase the electrolysis surface area of ​​the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222 in contact with water, thereby increasing the efficiency of electrolysis of water. In some embodiments, the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222 are stacked. It should be noted that the stacked arrangement means that the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222 are arranged in parallel and approximately face to face, and the parallel spacing between the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222 needs to be within a suitable range to achieve efficient electrolysis. If the spacing is too large, the electrolysis efficiency is too low and the concentration of the active substance produced is low; if the spacing is too small, it will cause the electrolysis electrode to wear out quickly, shorten the life of the electrolysis electrode, and at the same time cause problems such as increased power, severe heating of the electrolysis electrode, and low energy utilization. In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 The electrolytic anode 222 is formed with a plurality of first through holes 22a penetrating the electrolytic anode 222 along the thickness direction of the electrolytic anode 222; and the electrolytic cathode 221 is formed with a plurality of second through holes 22b penetrating the electrolytic cathode 221 along the thickness direction of the electrolytic cathode 221. On the one hand, the charge density at the edge of the first through hole 22a and the second through hole 22b is relatively large, and the electric field strength near the edge is relatively strong, which can greatly improve the electrolysis efficiency, generate more active substances such as hydroxyl free radicals and active chlorine, and generate more microbubbles, which is conducive to improving the dissolution rate of the detergent and improving the washing effect; on the other hand, the liquid flow can flow from one side of the electrolytic electrode 22 through the first through hole 22a and the second through hole 22b to the other side of the electrolytic electrode 22, forming a liquid flow path in the electrolytic electrode 22, and the liquid flow can promptly take away the microbubbles on the surface of the electrolytic electrode 22, preventing the microbubbles from gathering on the surface of the electrolytic electrode 22 to form large bubbles.

[0063] The number, arrangement and specific shape of the first through holes 22a are not limited. Similarly, the number, arrangement and specific shape of the second through holes 22b are not limited.

[0064] For example, see Fig.10 In one embodiment, the first through hole 22a and the second through hole 22b are substantially circular. Fig.11In another embodiment, the first through hole 22a and the second through hole 22b are roughly polygonal, that is, the electrolysis electrode can be a mesh structure. Since the electrolysis electrode with a mesh structure is placed in the shell 21, and the water entering the electrolysis chamber 21a is tap water, the efficiency of generating microbubbles is high and there is no problem of hair accumulation.

[0065] In one embodiment, the electrolytic cathode 221 and the electrolytic anode 222 both extend in a horizontal plane, see 9 and Fig.12 The electrolytic cathode 221 and the electrolytic anode 222 are stacked in the vertical direction. In this way, the electrolytic electrode 22 has a large electrolytic surface area while substantially not affecting the size of the workbench 1 in the height direction of the laundry processing device, making the workbench assembly 1000 compact.

[0066] It should be noted that in the scheme where the electrolytic cathode 221 and the electrolytic anode 222 are stacked in the vertical direction, the electrolytic cathode 221 can be located directly below the electrolytic anode 222, or the electrolytic anode 222 can be located directly below the electrolytic cathode 221, and there is no limitation here.

[0067] In one embodiment, the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device is located above the electrolysis electrode 22, that is, the height of the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device is higher than the electrolysis cathode 221 and the electrolysis anode 222. The electrolysis chamber 21a is constructed such that the liquid flow from the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device can flow from the bottom of the electrolysis electrode 22 through the first through hole 22a and the second through hole 22b to the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device. In other words, the liquid flow can pass through the electrolysis electrode 22 during the flow in the electrolysis chamber 21a, and the liquid flow can take away the microbubbles attached to the surface of the electrolysis electrode 22 in time, and can also make the water flowing from the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device to the storage tank 5a basically all be electrolyzed water after electrolysis by the electrolysis electrode 22, so as to ensure that the electrolyzed water entering the storage tank 5a contains more microbubbles and hydroxyl radicals.

[0068] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig. 9 The housing 21 has a drain port 21f, which is located lower than the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device. The drain port 21f is configured to drain the water in the electrolysis chamber 21a. When the laundry treatment device does not need to use the sterilization function, that is, when the electrolysis device 2 does not need to be started, the water in the electrolysis chamber 21a can be drained through the drain port 21f, so as to prevent the water in the electrolysis chamber 21a from deteriorating and becoming smelly when the washing machine is not used for a long time.

[0069] It should be noted that the water discharged from the drain port 21f can be discharged to the outside of the clothing processing device, or can be directly or indirectly discharged into the outer barrel or the inner drum. Figure 5The drain port 21f and the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device are arranged on the same side of the shell 21, that is, the drain port 21f is also arranged on the side of the shell 21 close to the detergent box 5; the drain port 21f is connected to the storage tank 5a, illustratively, through the third pipe 43, that is, the water discharged from the drain port 21f flows to the detergent box 5 through the third pipe 43; the flow area of ​​the drain port 21f is smaller than the flow area of ​​the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device. Specifically, since the drain port 21f and the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device are arranged on the same side of the shell 21, that is, the water discharged from the drain port 21f is also electrolyzed water after electrolysis by the electrolysis electrode 22, it is ensured that the water entering the storage tank 5a from the drain port 21f is also electrolyzed water after electrolysis; furthermore, since the flow area of ​​the drain port 21f is smaller than the flow area of ​​the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device, the flow resistance of the liquid flow from the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device to the storage tank 5a is smaller than the resistance from the drain port 21f to the storage tank 5a, so that most of the electrolyzed water will still flow from the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device to the storage tank 5a, and a small part of the electrolyzed water will flow from the drain port 21f to the storage tank 5a. When electrolyzed water is not needed, water will no longer enter the electrolysis chamber 21a, and the liquid level in the electrolysis chamber 21a will drop. When the liquid level is lower than the height of the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device, the water in the electrolysis chamber 21a will no longer be discharged from the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device, but will be discharged from the drain 21f until the water in the electrolysis chamber 21a is emptied. In the embodiment of the present invention, by simultaneously providing the above-mentioned water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device and the above-mentioned drain 21f, it can be ensured that the water flowing into the storage tank 5a is basically fully electrolyzed electrolyzed water, and it can also be ensured that the water in the electrolysis chamber 21a is emptied. The water in the drain 21f can be guided to the storage tank 5a through a relatively short pipeline, and the structure is simple, and no valve is required, which can reduce the production cost.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The electrolysis device 2 further includes a conductive connector 24 for conducting a power supply, the conductive connector 24 passes through the housing 21 in a sealed manner, a first end of the conductive connector 24 is conductively connected to the electrolysis electrode 22, and a second end of the conductive connector 24 is located outside the housing 21. The conductive connector 24 passes through the housing 21 in a sealed manner in any manner, as long as the seal can be ensured to be watertight, for example, the housing 21 has a through hole, the conductive connector 24 is inserted into the through hole, and the circumferential surface of the conductive connector 24 is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the through hole; for another example, a portion of the housing 21 surrounding the conductive connector 24 is injection molded on the conductive connector 24, etc.

[0071] The conductive connector 24 and the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device are arranged on the same side of the housing 21. In this way, it is convenient to centrally arrange water pipes and wires on the same side of the housing 21, making the structure of the workbench assembly 1000 more compact.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The electrolysis device 2 includes a water retaining plate 23 disposed in the housing 21. The housing 21 is hollow inside. Fig. 9 The water baffle 23 divides the space inside the shell 21 into a connected electrolytic chamber 21a and a buffer chamber 21b, and the electrolytic chamber 21a and the buffer chamber 21b are arranged along the length direction of the shell 21. The water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device is arranged on the shell 21 corresponding to the buffer chamber 21b, and the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device is arranged on the shell 21 corresponding to the electrolytic chamber 21a. A flow passage 23a for liquid flow is formed between the buffer chamber 21b and the electrolytic chamber 21a, and the water in the buffer chamber 21b flows into the electrolytic chamber 21a through the flow passage 23a. Specifically, the liquid flows through the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device, the buffer chamber 21b, the flow passage 23a and the electrolytic chamber 21a in sequence.

[0073] In some embodiments, the flow passage 23a and the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device are arranged in a staggered manner. The "staggered arrangement" means that the water inlet directions of the flow passage 23a and the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device are not in the same straight line, so that the liquid flow from the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device has a process of changing the flow direction in the buffer chamber 21b, which plays a certain buffering role.

[0074] The flow passage 23a may be a hole provided on the water baffle plate 23, or a gap provided between the edge of the water baffle plate 23 and the inner wall of the shell body 211, etc.

[0075] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The flow passage 23a is constructed as a gap formed between the bottom end of the water baffle 23 and the inner wall of the housing 21, and the position of the flow passage 23a is lower than the electrolysis electrode 22. In this way, the liquid flow entering the electrolysis chamber 21a from the flow passage 23a can be roughly located below the electrolysis electrode 22, and most of the liquid flow can pass through the first through hole 22a and the second through hole 22b from bottom to top during the flow, and then be discharged from the water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device.

[0076] Specifically, in one embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 7 The edge of the bottom end of the water baffle plate 23 is formed with an open notch 23a', and the open notch 23a' is a flow passage 23a. In this embodiment, a part of the structure at the bottom end of the water baffle plate 23 can abut against the inner wall of the shell 21, so that the contact area between the water baffle plate 23 and the shell 21 can be increased, and the connection reliability between the water baffle plate 23 and the shell 21 can be improved. The part of the structure at the open notch 23a' at the bottom end of the water baffle plate 23 is spaced from the inner wall of the shell body 211 to form the above-mentioned gap.

[0077] In one embodiment, the shell 21 includes a shell body 211 and a first end cover 212 and a second end cover 213 sealed at opposite ends of the shell body 211 along the length direction. The shell body 211, the first end cover 212 and the second end cover 213 are jointly arranged to form a hollow accommodation space, and the electrolytic chamber 21a is at least a part of the accommodation space. For example, in this embodiment, the electrolytic chamber 21a is a part of the accommodation space, and the accommodation space includes the above-mentioned electrolytic chamber 21a and the buffer chamber 21b. For another example, in an embodiment where the above-mentioned buffer chamber 21b is not provided, the electrolytic chamber 21a is the entire accommodation space.

[0078] The water outlet 21d of the electrolysis device is arranged on the first end cover 212, and the water inlet 21c of the electrolysis device is arranged on the second end cover 213. It is understandable that the connection between the first end cover 212 and the shell body 211 needs to be sealed to prevent water leakage, and the connection between the second end cover 213 and the shell body 211 needs to be sealed to prevent water leakage.

[0079] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
