Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a sterilization component for a washing device, a washing device, and a control method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] "Washing equipment" refers to a general term for a class of household appliances that can perform washing programs, such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos.

[0003] Ordinary washing equipment uses tap water to dissolve laundry detergent and other cleaning agents to wash clothes. However, tap water and the clothes being washed both contain organic pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, mold, and microorganisms, which are difficult for detergents to kill.

[0004] Therefore, viruses, bacteria, mold, and microorganisms can accumulate inside the washing equipment and multiply, resulting in a large number of organic pollutants inside the washing equipment, which affects the washing effect of clothes and may even endanger the health of users.

[0005] In view of this, some washing equipment has now added an electrolysis device. Tap water enters the electrolysis device from the inlet pipe, and the chloride ions in the tap water are electrolyzed to generate hypochlorous acid, chlorine gas and other oxides that can kill bacteria. After the water containing hypochlorous acid and chlorine gas flows into the washing equipment, it can kill viruses, bacteria, mold and microorganisms in the washing equipment.

[0006] However, the chloride ion content in tap water is currently low, so the amount of hypochlorous acid, chlorine gas, and other oxides produced by directly electrolyzing tap water is negligible, resulting in poor sterilization and disinfection. Furthermore, the chlorine content in tap water varies from city to city, and some towns even have chlorine-free water. This means that users in some areas cannot truly achieve sterilization and disinfection through electrolysis devices.

[0007] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a washing machine with a strong sterilization and disinfection function. A further objective of the present invention is to provide a control method for a washing machine to achieve reasonable control over the sterilization intensity.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0026] The present invention also provides a control method for a washing device as described in the above technical solution, wherein the sterilization intensity of the washing device is positively correlated with the amount of water entering the sterilization component of the washing device.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] "Washing equipment" refers to a general term for household appliances capable of performing washing programs, such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention discloses a sterilization component 1 for a washing device and a washing device 2 having such a sterilization component 1.

[0047] The sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment of the present invention includes:

[0048] The shell 11 has an internal cavity. The shell 11 has an inlet 111 and an outlet 112. The inlet 111 connects the inside and outside of the shell 11 and is used to introduce water into the cavity. The outlet 112 connects the inside and outside of the shell 11 and is used to discharge water from the cavity.

[0049] Electrolysis device 12 is installed inside the containment cavity and is used to electrolyze the aqueous solution inside the containment cavity;

[0050] Chlorine slow-release device 13 is installed in the containment cavity and is used to contact the water in the containment cavity to release chloride ions and form an aqueous solution that is electrolyzed by electrolysis device 12.

[0051] The present invention provides a chlorine slow-release device 13 in the receiving cavity. When water enters the receiving cavity through the inlet 111, the chlorine slow-release device 13 can come into contact with the water in the receiving cavity and release chloride ions. The electrolysis device 12 electrolyzes the aqueous solution containing chloride ions in the receiving cavity to produce hypochlorous acid, chlorine gas and other substances with strong oxidizing properties, so that the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment has a strong sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0052] Specifically, in this invention, the chlorine slow-release device 13 can dissolve chloride ions. For example, the chlorine slow-release device 13 is bromochlorohydantoin, with the molecular formula C5H6BrClN2O2. Bromochlorohydantoin can continuously release active Br through dissolution in water. - and active Cl - The chemical reaction equation is:

[0053] C5H6BrClN2O2+2H2O→C5H8N2O2+HOBr+HOCl.

[0054] In this invention, the concentration range of chloride ions dissolved by the chlorine slow-release device 13 is 0.1-100 ppm; preferably, the concentration range of chloride ions dissolved by the chlorine slow-release device 13 is 1-10 ppm.

[0055] The electrolysis apparatus 12 of the present invention includes a cathode structure 121 connected to a negative terminal 123 and an anode structure 122 connected to a positive terminal 124. Both the cathode structure 121 and the anode structure 122 are irregularly shaped structures; specifically, both are helical structures. The cathode structure 121 is helically disposed within the helical gap of the anode structure 122. The electrolysis apparatus 12 is small in size and capable of achieving high-density electrolysis.

[0056] Electrolysis device 12 electrolyzes a chlorine-containing aqueous solution. The chemical equation for the reaction at the anode during the electrolysis process is:

[0057] 2Cl - →Cl2+2e - ;

[0058] Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HClO;

[0059] H₂O→1 / 2O₂+2H₂ + +2e - ;

[0060] The chemical equation for the cathode reaction is:

[0061] 2H2O+2e - →H2+2OH - ;

[0062] That is, the electrolysis device 12 of the present invention can generate hypochlorous acid and chlorine gas by electrolyzing a chlorine-containing aqueous solution. Hypochlorous acid and chlorine gas have strong oxidizing properties and can oxidize the biological enzymes in microorganisms to achieve the purpose of sterilization and disinfection.

[0063] Furthermore, in the bactericidal and putrefactive bacteria killing tests, the present invention showed that 23 out of the 28 tested bacterial colonies were completely killed within 10 seconds of contact with the electrolyzed water of the present invention. Therefore, when using the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment of the present invention for sterilization, prolonged soaking is not required; sterilization and disinfection can be achieved simply by rinsing.

[0064] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the chlorine slow-release device 13 includes several chlorine-containing block structures arranged at intervals, such as bromochlorohydantoin blocks.

[0065] Preferably, the chlorine-containing block structures are chlorine-containing columnar structures arranged in parallel at intervals within the receiving cavity.

[0066] In this embodiment, the arrangement of several chlorine-containing columnar structures allows the water in the containment cavity to fully flush the chlorine-containing columnar structures, further resulting in a greater amount of chloride ions dissolved from the chlorine-containing columnar structures into the water, thus increasing the chloride ion content in the aqueous solution.

[0067] As one embodiment of this invention, several of the chlorine-containing columnar structures are arranged perpendicularly to the shell wall of the shell 11, which has an inlet 11.

[0068] In this embodiment, the water flowing in through the inlet 11 can flow down along the chlorine-containing columnar structure, uniformly flushing the chlorine-containing columnar structure and further dissolving a large amount of chloride ions into the water.

[0069] As another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a partition plate 14 is provided inside the receiving cavity, which divides the receiving cavity into a connected slow-release cavity 113 and an electrolysis cavity 114.

[0070] The chlorine slow-release device 13 is disposed in the slow-release chamber 113, and the electrolysis device 12 is disposed in the electrolysis chamber 114. The water inlet 111 is opened on the shell wall of the slow-release chamber 113, and the water outlet 112 is opened on the shell wall of the electrolysis chamber 114.

[0071] In this embodiment, water flowing into the slow-release chamber 113 through the inlet 111 comes into contact with the chlorine slow-release device 13, dissolving chloride ions. The chloride-containing aqueous solution flows from the slow-release chamber 113 into the electrolysis chamber 114, where it is electrolyzed by the electrolysis device 12 to produce hypochlorous acid, chlorine gas, and other oxides. Subsequently, the hypochlorous acid, chlorine gas, and other oxides are discharged from the electrolysis chamber 114 through the outlet 112 along with the water flow. The discharged water has strong oxidizing properties, thus providing a good sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0072] As one implementation method of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the slow-release chamber 113 is located above the electrolysis chamber 114.

[0073] In this embodiment, water can flow from the slow-release chamber 113 into the electrolysis chamber 114 from top to bottom. During the flow, the water is subject to less resistance and has higher flow efficiency, which is conducive to the efficient electrolysis of water with a high oxide content.

[0074] As another implementation method of this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the housing 11 includes an upper top wall 115, a lower bottom wall 116, and peripheral side walls 117 disposed opposite to each other. The partition plate 14 is disposed opposite to the upper top wall 115 and the lower bottom wall 116. The partition plate 14, the upper top wall 115, and the peripheral side walls 117 form the slow-release chamber 113. The partition plate 14, the lower bottom wall 116, and the peripheral side walls 117 form the electrolysis chamber 114.

[0075] In this embodiment, the slow-release chamber 113 and the electrolysis chamber 114 are formed in a simple and reasonable manner, which allows water to flow efficiently from the slow-release chamber 113 into the electrolysis chamber 114, which is beneficial for producing water with a high oxide content.

[0076] Preferably, in this embodiment, the partition plate 14 is integrally formed with the shell 11. In this embodiment, the formation of the slow-release chamber 113 and the electrolysis chamber 114 is simple and the structure is relatively stable, and the partition plate 14 will not loosen during installation.

[0077] As another implementation method of this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water inlet 111 is located on the upper top wall 115, and the water outlet 112 is located on the lower bottom wall 116.

[0078] In this embodiment, water can flow in from the top of the housing 11 and out from the bottom of the housing 11, which increases the flow of water and allows the water to fully contact the chlorine release device 13, dissolving a sufficient amount of chloride ions. This further allows the aqueous solution containing chloride ions to be fully electrolyzed by the electrolysis device 12, resulting in a higher content of oxides in the water.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of baffles are disposed within the sustained-release chamber 113. One end of each baffle is connected to the upper top wall 115, and the other end extends toward the partition plate 14 and has a gap with the partition plate 14. The plurality of baffles divide the sustained-release chamber 113 into a plurality of flow channels, and a plurality of chlorine-containing columnar structures are respectively disposed within the plurality of flow channels.

[0080] In this embodiment, by setting baffles, the slow-release chamber 113 is divided into several interconnected flow channels, and several chlorine-containing columnar structures are respectively set in several of the flow channels, so that the water flow can fully contact the chlorine-containing columnar structures during the flow of the channels, which increases the flushing and dissolving effect of the water flow on the chlorine-containing columnar structures, thereby making more chloride ions dissolved in the water flow.

[0081] Preferably, in this embodiment, the baffle and the housing 11 are integrally formed. The forming method of the housing 11 and the baffle in this embodiment is simple, and the structure is relatively stable and reliable.

[0082] As another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, a through hole 15 is provided on the partition plate 14 to connect the slow-release chamber 113 and the electrolysis chamber 114. Liquid in the slow-release chamber 113 can flow into the electrolysis chamber 114 through the through hole 15. A one-way valve 16 is provided on the through hole 15 to control the flow of liquid from the slow-release chamber 113 to the electrolysis chamber 114.

[0083] In this embodiment, by opening a through hole 15 in the partition plate 14, the liquid containing chloride ions dissolved in the slow-release chamber 113 can flow into the electrolysis chamber 114 through the through hole 15. Furthermore, by providing a one-way valve 16 in the through hole 15, the water flow can only flow from the slow-release chamber 113 into the electrolysis chamber 114, preventing the water flow from the electrolysis chamber 114 back into the slow-release chamber 113, thus ensuring a high electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 12 in the electrolysis chamber 114.

[0084] The present invention also provides a washing device 2, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the washing device 2 includes a tub for containing washing water. The tub includes an outer tub 23 and an inner tub 22 disposed within the outer tub 23, with several water-permeable holes formed on the peripheral sidewall of the inner tub. The washing device 2 also includes a water inlet pipe 21 for introducing water into the tub. The sterilization component 1 of the washing device in this invention is disposed on the water inlet pipe 21.

[0085] Specifically, the inlet 111 and outlet 112 of the housing 11 of the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment are respectively connected to the water inlet pipe 21, so that the water flowing in from the water inlet pipe 21 flows through the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment, and then the water flow carries a sufficient amount of oxides into the tub of the washing equipment 2 to sterilize and disinfect the inside of the tub, and the sterilization and disinfection effect is good.

[0086] Preferably, the washing device 2 includes a window gasket, and a water inlet pipe 21 passes through the window gasket to connect to the interior of the tub. The water containing oxides flowing out of the water inlet pipe 21 flows through the window gasket into the tub, and the connection structure is simple.

[0087] As one embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the washing equipment 2 also includes a dispensing box 24, which is used to hold detergent. The dispensing box 24 is installed on the water inlet pipe 21 of the washing equipment 2, and water entering through the water inlet pipe 21 washes the detergent in the dispensing box 24 into the tub of the washing equipment 2.

[0088] The sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment is installed on the water inlet pipe 21 that connects the water source and the dispensing box 24, so that water flows from the water inlet pipe 21 through the sterilization component 1 and into the dispensing box 24. In this way, the water flowing into the dispensing box 24 carries a sufficient amount of oxides, and the water flowing into the washing equipment 2 from the dispensing box 24 has a strong sterilization and disinfection effect; in addition, the water flowing into the dispensing box 24 can also sterilize and disinfect the inside of the dispensing box 24.

[0089] The present invention also provides a control method for a washing device, specifically including:

[0090] The sterilization intensity of the washing equipment 2 is positively correlated with the amount of water entering the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment.

[0091] Specifically, the more water enters the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment, the more chloride ions are dissolved in the water, and the more oxides such as hypochlorous acid and chlorine are generated by electrolysis. The better the sterilization and disinfection effect of the water flowing into the washing equipment 2, that is, the stronger the sterilization intensity of the washing equipment 2.

[0092] In the control method of the washing equipment 2 of the present invention, the sterilization intensity is positively correlated with the amount of water entering the sterilization component 1 of the washing equipment, so that the sterilization intensity of the washing equipment 2 is controllable. That is, by reasonably controlling the amount of water entering the equipment, the sterilization intensity is reasonably controlled to meet the sterilization needs of different users.

[0093] As one embodiment of this invention, the control steps of the washing device 2 include:

[0094] S1, Begin;

[0095] S2. Preset sterilization intensity level and influent flow rate level; wherein, the sterilization intensity level includes level 1, level 2 and level 3, and level 1 sterilization intensity > level 2 sterilization intensity > level 3 sterilization intensity; the influent flow rate level includes low, medium and high influent flow rate;

[0096] S3. Obtain the input sterilization intensity level;

[0097] If the input sterilization intensity level is Level 1 sterilization intensity, then the influent flow rate is controlled to be high.

[0098] If the input sterilization intensity level is level 2, then the influent flow rate should be controlled as medium.

[0099] If the input sterilization intensity level is level three, then control the influent flow rate to low.

[0100] S4. Determine if the water intake is complete;

[0101] S5. If yes, control the water intake to stop; otherwise, repeat steps S2 to S5.

[0102] Specifically, the washing device 2 has preset buttons for controlling different sterilization intensity levels. In this embodiment, step S3, obtaining the input sterilization intensity level includes:

[0103] S31. Determine whether a touch signal has been received for the sterilization intensity level button;

[0104] S32. If yes, determine whether the input touch signal belongs to the first-level button touch signal. If yes, control the water inlet flow to high; otherwise, determine whether the input touch signal belongs to the second-level button touch signal. If yes, control the water inlet flow to medium; otherwise, control the water inlet flow to low.

[0105] In this embodiment, the water intake is controlled according to the selected sterilization intensity level, so that the washing equipment 2 can reasonably control the water intake according to the actual sterilization intensity level, which not only ensures that the sterilization effect can meet the user's needs, but also avoids the waste of water resources and chloride ions in the chlorine slow release device 13.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
