[0040] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "widthwise," "lengthwise," and "transverse," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of the embodiments of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] The embodiment of the present invention provides an electrolytic assembly 1000, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , including electrolysis electrodes, a heating tube 2 and at least one connecting device 3.

[0043] The electrolysis electrode includes an electrolysis cathode 11 and an electrolysis anode 12. It is understood that the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12 are insulated from each other, that is, the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12 are not in contact at any position, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electrolysis electrode.

[0044] There is no limitation on the arrangement of the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12. For example, the electrolysis cathode 11 is roughly located in one plane, and the electrolysis anode 12 is roughly located in another plane, and the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12 are stacked.

[0045] It should be noted that the specific structural shape of the electrolytic cathode 11 is not limited, for example, it can be a plate structure, a mesh structure, a tooth structure, etc., which is not limited here.

[0046] The specific structural shape of the electrolytic anode 12 is not limited, for example, it can be a plate structure, a mesh structure, a tooth structure, etc., which is not limited here.

[0047] The heating tube 2 includes a metal housing and a heating element located within the housing. The heating element serves as the heat source for the heating tube 2 and can be a heating wire or other component capable of generating heat. In some embodiments, the heating element is a heating wire. During operation, the heating element generates heat, which is then transferred to the metal housing. The metal housing then transfers the heat to the surrounding water, thereby heating the water.

[0048] It should be noted that the heating element and the metal housing are electrically insulated. That is, only heat is transferred between the heating element and the metal housing, and no current flows. For example, the metal housing is filled with an insulating powder, such as magnesium oxide powder. The insulating powder acts as both an insulating medium and secures the heating element, while also transferring heat.

[0049] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heating tube 2 includes at least two first tubes 21 spaced apart from each other, with one first tube 21 positioned laterally of the other first tube 21. In other words, the two first tubes 21 are arranged substantially side by side. The electrolysis electrodes are disposed between the two first tubes 21. The two first tubes 21 provide space for the electrolysis electrodes, making the structure of the electrolysis assembly 1000 more compact.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electrolysis electrodes are spaced apart from each first tube 21 , that is, the electrolysis cathode 11 does not directly contact each first tube 21 , and the electrolysis anode 12 does not directly contact each first tube 21 , thereby avoiding collision and friction between the electrolysis electrodes and the heating tube 2 .

[0051] For example, see Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heating tube 2 includes a curved second tube body 22 , which is connected between the two first tube bodies 21 . The second tube body 22 can be made into various required shapes.

[0052] The metal shell of the heating tube 2 is electrically connected to the electrolytic cathode 11. In other words, the electrolytic cathode 11 and the metal shell of the heating tube 2 have the same potential. The electrolytic cathode 11 provides cathodic protection for the metal shell, making it less susceptible to corrosion and extending the service life of the electrolytic assembly 1000.

[0053] Among them, cathodic protection refers to preventing the Fe 2+ Converted to Fe 3+ And generate water rust.

[0054] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The connection device 3 includes a pair of buckling straps 31. The electrolytic cathode 11 and the electrolytic anode 12 are clamped between the buckling straps 31. The two buckling straps 31 play a restraining role on the electrolytic cathode 11 and the electrolytic anode 12. Specifically, one buckling strap 31 is located on the side of the electrolytic cathode 11 facing away from the electrolytic anode 12, and the other buckling strap 31 is located on the side of the electrolytic anode 12 facing away from the electrolytic cathode 11. The two buckling straps 31 play a good role in clamping and positioning the electrolytic electrodes.

[0055] It should be noted that the buckle belt 31 and the electrolysis anode 12 are insulated.

[0056] Connecting device 3 connects heating tube 2 and electrolysis electrodes, providing force support for the electrolysis electrodes. Specifically, electrolysis cathode 11 and electrolysis anode 12 are assembled to heating tube 2 via connecting device 3. Connecting device 3 possesses a certain degree of rigidity and structural strength, supporting at least part of the weight of the electrolysis electrodes. Connecting device 3 transfers this weight, as well as its own gravity, to heating tube 2.

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 6 The fastening belt 31 includes a main body section 311 and fastening sections 312 located at both ends of the main body section 311 , and the fastening sections 312 are fastened to the first tube body 21 .

[0058] Along the length of the first tube 21, the two fastening sections 312 on the same first tube 21 are staggered. For example, the fastening section 312 at the first end of the first fastening belt 31 and the fastening section 312 at the first end of the second fastening belt 31 are fastened to one of the first tubes 21, the two fastening sections 312 clamping at least a portion of the first tube 21 and staggered along the length. The fastening section 312 at the second end of the first fastening belt 31 and the fastening section 312 at the second end of the second fastening belt 31 are fastened to at least a portion of the other first tube 21, the two fastening sections 312 clamping the first tube 21 and staggered along the length.

[0059] It should be noted that the staggered arrangement along the length direction means that the length ranges covered by the buckling belts 31 in the length direction of the heating tube 2 do not overlap.

[0060] It is understandable that the formation of scale on the heating tube is a dynamic process. After the scale layer is formed, part of the scale will fall off during the washing and dehydration operation of the clothing processing equipment.

[0061] In the related art, the two fastening sections are arranged roughly along the same circumference of the first tube body, forming a small gap between the ends of the two fastening sections. This gap creates a dead angle where scale accumulates and is difficult to fall off, and the scale tends to accumulate and become thicker. Once the scale accumulates, it will affect the heat dissipation of the heating tube.

[0062] It should be noted that the metal tube shell of the heating tube 2 is generally made of austenitic stainless steel, which has a metallographic structure of supercooled austenite at room temperature. In related art, accumulated scale adheres to the surface of the heating tube, preventing the heating tube from dissipating heat in a timely manner. Furthermore, the temperature of the heating tube in this area is very high. At high temperatures, doping alloying elements such as chromium and nickel dissolved in the iron-carbon alloy accumulate and segregate, causing changes in the metallographic structure of the austenitic stainless steel, altering its properties and causing it to rust. When the rust accumulates to a certain level, it can cause the metal tube shell to rust through and fail.

[0063] The electrolysis assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention can electrolyze water through the electrolysis electrodes to generate hydroxyl radicals with strong oxidizing activity for sterilization and disinfection, and can also heat the liquid to a desired temperature through the heating tube 2.

[0064] In the electrolytic assembly 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, since the two fastening sections 312 on the same first tube body 21 are staggered, no dead angle is formed at the junction of the two fastening sections 312 and the first tube body 21, but a semi-open space is formed. Scale is not easily accumulated, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the heating tube 2 and improves the service life of the heating tube 2.

[0065] For example, along the length direction of the heating tube 2, the first tube body 21 has a clamping section, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The length range of the dotted box in the figure indicates the snap-in section. The snap-in section 312 of each connecting device 3 is arranged in the snap-in section. For example, when there is only one connecting device 3, the snap-in section 312 of the first end of each snap-in belt 31 of the connecting device 3 is located in the snap-in section of one of the first tube bodies 21, and the snap-in section 312 of the second end of each snap-in belt 31 is located in the snap-in section of another first tube body 21. When there are multiple connecting devices 3, the snap-in section 312 of the first end of each snap-in belt 31 of all the connecting devices 3 is located in the snap-in section of one of the first tube bodies 21, and the snap-in section 312 of the second end of each snap-in belt 31 of all the connecting devices 3 is located in the snap-in section of another first tube body 21.

[0066] It should be noted here that the clamping section is not strictly limited to the two ends of the section where the two are in contact, but can be relaxed to appropriate sizes.

[0067] For example, the power density of the clamping section is smaller than that of the remaining sections. The power density includes: the heating power of the heating component per unit length of the heating tube 2 divided by the surface area per unit length of the heating tube 2.

[0068] The heating power of the heating element per unit length of the heating tube 2 is related to the effective length of the heating element. The longer the effective length of the heating element per unit length of the heating tube 2, the greater the heating power of the heating element per unit length of the heating tube 2. In other words, the power density here refers to the power density of the heating element within the heating tube 2.

[0069] In some embodiments, the heating component is not spirally wound in the clamping section but is arranged in a generally straight line, and the heating component is spirally wound in the remaining sections to increase the effective length of the heating component.

[0070] The electrolytic assembly 1000 of this embodiment reduces the power density in the clamping section and appropriately increases the power density in the remaining sections. This reduces the temperature of the clamping section without sacrificing the total power of the heating tube 2. This prevents the local temperature of the clamping area of ​​the first tube 21 from reaching the metallographic transformation temperature of supercooled austenite, thereby extending the service life of the heating tube 2. For example, the power density in the clamping section does not exceed 1 / 2 of the power density in the remaining sections. This effectively balances the total power of the heating tube 2 with the control of the local power of the first tube 21 within an appropriate range.

[0071] For example, the power density of the clamping section is no more than 6W / cm 2 (Watts per square centimeter). In this power density range, even if scale exists, the local temperature of the clamping section will not rise. The power density of the remaining sections is 8W / cm 2 ~15W / cm 2 , for example, 8W / cm 2 , 10W / cm 2 、10.2W / cm 2 、10.6W / cm 2 , 11W / cm 2 、11.5W / cm 2 , 12W / cm 2 、13W / cm 2 、14W / cm 2 , 15W / cm 2 In this embodiment, the power density of the remaining sections of the heating tube 2 is controlled at 15W / cm 2 Below this level, even if scale exists, the local temperature will not exceed 500°C.

[0072] For example, the length of the clamping section is 1 mm to 50 mm, for example, 1 mm, 3 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 24 mm, 30 mm, 33 mm, 38 mm, 42 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, etc. This allows the clamping sections to be concentrated in low power density areas, facilitating the placement of the heating components.

[0073] Exemplarily, the length of the clamping section is 3 mm to 30 mm. For example, 3 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 24 mm, and 30 mm. In this embodiment, the clamping section is concentrated within a relatively narrow range to avoid the clamping section being too long, which would significantly increase the overall length of the heating tube.

[0074] The number of the connecting devices 3 can be one or more, wherein more refers to two or more.

[0075] In the embodiment with multiple connecting devices 3, the multiple connecting devices 3 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first tube 21. In this way, each connecting device 3 forms at least two supporting positions for the electrolysis electrode along the length direction, thereby improving the support reliability of the electrolysis electrode.

[0076] For example, see Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The connecting device 3 includes a fastener 33, which passes through the main body section 311 of a pair of buckle belts 31, the electrolytic cathode 11, and the electrolytic anode 12. The fastener 33 applies a clamping force to the two main body sections 311.

[0077] The specific type of the fastener 33 is not limited, for example, a rivet or a bolt.

[0078] It should be noted that the fastener 33 will not contact the electrolysis anode 12, ensuring that the electrolysis anode 12 and the electrolysis cathode 11 will not be short-circuited.

[0079] It should be noted that the electrical connection between the metal shell of the heating tube 2 and the electrolytic cathode 11 is not limited, for example, it can be achieved by connecting with a metal wire.

[0080] Exemplarily, the fastener 33 electrically connects the two fastening straps 31, and the connecting device 3 electrically connects the heating tube 2 and the electrolytic cathode 11. In this embodiment, the connecting device 3 not only provides a physical restraint but also serves as a conductor. For example, the fastening straps 31 may be sheet metal or metal, which provides both structural strength and electrical conductivity.

[0081] It should be noted that for the same fastening strap 31, the main section 311 and the fastening straps 31 at both ends are not located on the same straight line, so that the main sections 311 of the two fastening straps 31 have overlapping areas and the fastening sections 312 are staggered. The fastener 32 passes through the overlapping areas.

[0082] For example, in a projection parallel to the stacking plane of the electrolytic anode 12 and the electrolytic cathode 11, the pair of fastening straps 31 are arranged crosswise. An overlapping region is formed at the intersection, and the fastener 33 passes through the overlapping region. This ensures that the forces exerted by the two fastening straps 31 on the first tube 21 are relatively balanced. During the tightening of the fastener 33, the two fastening straps 31 do not exert significant shear forces on any part of the first tube 21.

[0083] Illustratively, in a projection parallel to the stacking plane of the electrolytic anode 12 and the electrolytic cathode 11, the main segments 311 of the pair of fastening straps 31 have an overlapping region. It is understood that the projections of the respective fastening segments 312 are offset from one another. The overlapping region extends along the width of the electrolytic electrode, that is, the overlapping region has a relatively long length. Illustratively, there are multiple fasteners 33, and the multiple fasteners 33 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the overlapping region. Thus, providing multiple fasteners 32 in the overlapping region improves fastening reliability.

[0084] The width direction of the electrolysis electrode is perpendicular to the length direction of the first tube 21 and perpendicular to the stacking direction of the electrolysis electrode.

[0085] For example, see Figure 6 The pair of fastening sections 312 fastened to the same first tube 21 are located on opposite sides of the extension line L of the overlapping region. This arrangement allows the fastening sections 312 to be arranged as close to the extension line as possible, resulting in a compact structure and reducing the installation space occupied by the connecting device 3 along the length direction of the first tube 21.

[0086] For example, the two fastening sections 312 of the same fastening strap 31 are located on opposite sides of an extension line of the overlapping region. Thus, the two fastening straps 31 can be arranged in a generally cross-shaped pattern, so that the fastening sections 312 of the two fastening straps 31 exert a relatively balanced force on the first tube 21. During the tightening process of the fastener 33, the two fastening straps 31 do not exert significant shear force on any part of the first tube 21.

[0087] It should be noted that the shape and material of the first buckle belt 31 may be the same as or different from the shape and material of the second buckle belt 31 .

[0088] Exemplarily, the shape and material of each buckle belt 31 are the same, for example, they are all sheet metal parts and have the same shape. In this way, each buckle belt 31 can be universal to improve the commonality rate of parts and reduce the inventory pressure of stagnant materials.

[0089] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 1000 includes a first insulating member 41 , at least a portion of which is sandwiched between the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12 . This prevents the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12 from short-circuiting, thereby improving the reliability of the electrolysis electrodes.

[0090] The shape of the first insulating member 41 is not limited, as long as it can effectively connect the electrolysis cathode 11 and the electrolysis anode 12 .

[0091] For example, see Figure 7 The first insulating member 41 includes a base 411 and a protruding column 412 protruding from the surface of the base 411. Figure 4, the electrolytic anode 12 has a first through hole 12a, see Figure 5 The base 411 is sandwiched between the electrolytic cathode 11 and the electrolytic anode 12, and the protrusion 412 is inserted into the first through hole 12a. In this embodiment, the first insulating member 41 and the base 411 can effectively isolate the electrolytic cathode 11 and the electrolytic anode 12, and the protrusion 412 can position the electrolytic anode 12.

[0092] For example, see Figure 7 The first insulating member 41 is formed with a second through hole 412a that passes through the base 411 and the boss 412. The above-mentioned fastener 33 is passed through the second through hole 412a. In this way, the fastener 33 can not only play a fastening role, but also ensure that it will not contact the electrolytic anode 12.

[0093] The number of the protrusion 412 can be one or more.

[0094] The first insulating member 41 may be made of a material having certain damping properties, such as rubber, silicone, etc.

[0095] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The end face of the protrusion 412 protrudes from the surface of the electrolytic anode 12 on the side away from the electrolytic cathode 11, and one of the buckling strips 31 abuts against the end face of the protrusion 412 to form a spacing space between the buckling strip 31 and the electrolytic anode 12 to prevent electrochemical corrosion of the electrolytic anode 12.

[0096] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The electrolytic assembly 1000 further includes a second insulating member 42, which is interposed between one of the fastening straps 31 and the electrolytic anode 12. The second insulating member 42 effectively limits the electrolytic anode 12, preventing it from moving along the stacking direction, and also enhances the insulation reliability between the fastening strap 31 and the electrolytic anode 12.

[0097] For example, in some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 , the electrolytic assembly 1000 includes a sealing device 6, see Figure 4 The electrolysis assembly 1000 includes a cathode conductor 51 conductively connected to the electrolysis cathode 11 and an anode conductor 52 conductively connected to the electrolysis anode 12 . The cathode conductor 51 , the anode conductor 52 and the first tube 21 are all sealed through the sealing device 6 .

[0098] The sealing device 6 can seal the electrolytic assembly 1000 on other products to improve the sealing performance of the products.

[0099] It is understandable that at least part of the structure of the sealing device 6 is made of a flexible material, such as silicone, rubber, etc., to ensure the sealing performance.

[0100] For example, see Figures 1 to 4 The electrolytic assembly 1000 includes a thermostat 7, which is sealed through the sealing device 6. The thermostat 7 can detect the current water temperature.

[0101] The electrolytic assembly 1000 of any embodiment of the present invention is not limited to any application field and can be used in any appropriate product.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electrolytic assembly 1000 is described as being applied to a clothes processing device.

[0103] An embodiment of the present invention provides a clothing processing device, comprising an inner drum, an outer barrel, and any of the above-mentioned electrolytic components 1000, wherein the inner drum is rotatably arranged in the outer barrel, and the electrolytic electrodes and the heating tube 2 for heating the water are both arranged between the outer barrel and the inner drum.

[0104] During operation of the clothing processing device of an embodiment of the present invention, when water is contained in the outer barrel, the electrolysis electrode is started, and the electrolysis electrode can generate hydroxyl 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 clothing. A portion of ·OH reacts with chlorine water in tap water to generate active chlorine, which can exist for a long time and has a long-term antibacterial effect. The electrolysis electrode generates a large number of hydroxyl radicals, which oxidize and destroy the chromophores of the dye molecules released into the water from the colored clothes during the washing process, thereby decolorizing the dye and preventing the free dye from being contaminated into light-colored clothes and causing color bleeding. The reaction continues to decompose the dye molecules into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts. At the same time, the electrolysis electrode will produce a large number of hydrogen microbubbles during the electrolysis process. Since the diameter of the microbubbles is very small, usually less than 50um, they can penetrate into the fibers of clothing well during the washing process. Through the microbubble explosion, adsorption and floating effect, microbubbles are continuously generated for circulation flushing, helping the detergent to thoroughly remove sebum, grease, tiny dust and other dirt accumulated inside the fibers of clothing, which can improve the cleaning effect.

[0105] It should be noted that the clothes processing device in the embodiment of the present invention can be a washing machine, a dehydrator, or other types of equipment, without limitation. It is understandable that the washing machine can be a pulsator washing machine, a drum washing machine, or other structural types of washing machines.

[0106] Illustratively, a relief opening is formed on the outer barrel, and the sealing device 6 seals the relief opening.

[0107] In the description of the present invention, the reference terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" mean that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of the present invention. In the present invention, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art can combine different embodiments or examples described in the present invention and features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0108] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
