Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of disinfection and sterilization equipment technology, specifically to a cleaning device with disinfection function. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, cleaning equipment with disinfection functions, such as dishwashers, has gradually entered ordinary households, freeing up hands and improving the quality of life. The main core components of existing cleaning equipment with disinfection functions include: inner tank assembly, water cup assembly, spray arm assembly, filter assembly, washing pump, drain pump, and piping.

[0003] Currently, cleaning equipment with disinfection functions on the market generally generates disinfectant water through a disinfectant water generator. This generator includes a water storage structure, a discharge electrode, and a ground electrode located within the water storage structure. The discharge electrode electrolyzes air during discharge to produce ozone, which dissolves in water to generate ozone water with disinfection effects. To prevent excessive or insufficient water in the water storage structure from affecting the disinfection effect of the cleaning equipment, or even causing water leakage from the vent and resulting in safety accidents, some existing cleaning equipment with disinfection functions are equipped with a detection device and a float limiting structure within the water storage structure, as well as a float suitable for sliding within the float limiting structure. The detection device can detect the float when the water level in the water storage structure reaches a suitable height.

[0004] However, the existing cleaning equipment may cause the float to detach from the gap, leading to the failure of the detection device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect that the float of the cleaning device with disinfection function in the prior art may fall off from the top of the float limiting structure, thereby providing a cleaning device with disinfection function that can prevent the float from falling off from the top of the float limiting structure and ensure that the detection device can operate reliably.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a cleaning device with disinfection function, comprising: a water inlet pipe assembly, the first end of which is connected to a water source, the water inlet pipe assembly including a first switching element; a water storage structure having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being connected to the second end of the water inlet pipe assembly; a discharge electrode disposed within the water storage structure and adapted to be connected to the live wire of a power supply device; a ground electrode disposed within the water storage structure and adapted to be connected to the neutral wire of the power supply device; and a float limiting structure disposed within the water storage structure, wherein an extension along the height direction is formed within the float limiting structure. The float cavity has a water inlet formed on the limiting structure; a float is disposed in the float cavity and is adapted to slide along the float cavity; an anti-detachment protrusion is formed on the float limiting structure and / or the water storage structure, and the anti-detachment protrusion is located at the top of the float cavity; a first detection device is able to detect the float when the water in the water storage structure reaches a preset first height and emit a first signal, the preset first height being higher than the height of the water outlet and lower than the height of the water inlet; a control module is communicatively connected to the first detection device and the first switching element, and is able to control the first switching element to switch to the closed state when the first signal is received.

[0007] Furthermore, cleaning equipment with disinfection functions also includes:

[0008] The water outlet pipeline assembly has its first end connected to the water outlet of the water storage structure, and the water outlet pipeline assembly includes a water outlet valve;

[0009] The second detection device is installed outside the water storage structure. The second detection device is adapted to issue a second signal when the water in the water storage structure reaches a preset second height. The preset second height is lower than the preset first height. The control module is communicatively connected to the second detection device and is adapted to control the outlet valve to switch to the closed state when the second signal is received.

[0010] Furthermore, the first detection device is a first proximity switch installed outside the water storage structure, and the second detection device is a second proximity switch installed outside the water storage structure and located below the first proximity switch.

[0011] Furthermore, cleaning equipment with disinfection functions also includes:

[0012] The washing assembly is connected to the second end of the inlet water pipe assembly, and the second end of the outlet water pipe assembly is connected to the washing assembly.

[0013] The water circuit switching structure is located between the second end of the water inlet pipe assembly and the washing assembly and water storage structure, and has a first state that connects the water inlet pipe assembly to the washing assembly and a second state that connects the water inlet pipe assembly to the water storage structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the washing components include a water cup, and the cleaning equipment with disinfection function also includes:

[0015] A drain pipe, which is connected to the water cup, is used to drain the water from the cup.

[0016] A drain pump, which is installed inside the drain pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, cleaning equipment with disinfection functions also includes:

[0018] An air intake channel is located on the water storage structure and is suitable for air to be introduced. The air intake channel is arranged around the discharge electrode.

[0019] A porous structure is installed inside the water storage structure, and the porous structure is connected to the air outlet end of the air inlet channel.

[0020] Furthermore, the porous structure is made of air bubble stone, and the outlet end of the air inlet channel is sealed to the air bubble stone; or,

[0021] The porous structure includes an air chamber and a waterproof and breathable membrane. The air chamber has a first opening and a second opening. The air outlet of the air inlet channel is sealed to the first opening of the air chamber, and the waterproof and breathable membrane blocks the second opening.

[0022] Furthermore, the water storage structure includes a lower cover and an upper cover that is sealed to the lower cover, with the discharge electrode and the ground electrode both fixedly mounted on the upper cover.

[0023] Furthermore, cleaning equipment with disinfection functions also includes:

[0024] An electrode holder is installed on the upper cover of the water storage structure, and the discharge electrode is fixedly installed on the electrode holder.

[0027] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0028] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the cleaning device with disinfection function of the present invention adds an anti-detachment protrusion to the water storage structure and / or float limiting structure, and positions the anti-detachment protrusion at the top of the float cavity. This allows the anti-detachment protrusion to cooperate with the float limiting structure and prevent the float from detaching from the top of the float limiting structure when the water level in the water storage structure is high and the float rises to the top of the float cavity. Simultaneously, since the anti-detachment protrusion itself is a raised structure, its contact area with the float is small, making it less likely to stick to the float. Therefore, the cleaning device with disinfection function of the present invention overcomes the defect in existing cleaning devices with disinfection function where the float may detach from the top of the float limiting structure, and it is less likely to cause the float to stick. Furthermore, the cleaning device with disinfection function of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, practical, safe, and reliable, and is easy to implement and promote.

[0051] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the water storage structure of a cleaning device with disinfection function according to an embodiment of the present invention, taken from one angle. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the water storage structure of a cleaning device with disinfection function according to an embodiment of the present invention from another angle.

[0054] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the water storage structure of a cleaning device with disinfection function according to an embodiment of the present invention, with its top cover hidden. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning equipment with disinfection function in this embodiment mainly includes a water inlet pipe assembly, a water storage structure a1, a discharge electrode a21, a ground electrode a22, a float limiting structure, a float f3, an anti-detachment protrusion a17, a first detection device f1, and a control module. The cleaning equipment is preferably, but not limited to, a dishwasher.

[0055] The inlet pipe assembly is connected to a water source at its first end and includes a first switching element. The water storage structure a1 has an inlet a11 and an outlet a12. The inlet a11 is connected to the second end of the inlet pipe assembly. A discharge electrode a21 is disposed within the water storage structure a1 and is adapted to be connected to the live wire of the power supply device. A ground electrode a22 is disposed within the water storage structure a1 and is adapted to be connected to the neutral wire of the power supply device. A float limiting structure a15 is disposed within the water storage structure a1, and a float cavity extending along the height direction is formed within the float limiting structure a15. A water inlet a16 is formed on the float limiting structure a15. The power supply device can be a high-frequency high-voltage device or other device capable of providing high-voltage electricity.

[0056] A float f3 is disposed within a float cavity and is adapted to slide along the float cavity. An anti-detachment protrusion a17 is formed on the float limiting structure a15 and / or the water storage structure a1. The anti-detachment protrusion a17 is located at the top of the float cavity. A first detection device f1 is connected to the water storage structure a1 and is able to detect the float f3 when the water in the water storage structure a1 reaches a preset first height, and emit a first signal. The preset first height is higher than the height of the outlet a12 and lower than the height of the inlet a11. A control module is communicatively connected to the first detection device f1 and the first switching element and is able to control the first switching element to switch to the closed state when the first signal is received.

[0057] The applicant discovered that, due to the float's light weight and its tendency to attract water during sliding, the float is easily adsorbed onto the inner top wall of the water storage structure after contacting it, causing the detection device to malfunction. To avoid this problem, the top of the float limiting structure is generally designed with a certain gap between it and the top of the water storage structure; however, this can cause the float to detach from the gap, leading to detection device failure.

[0058] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the cleaning device with disinfection function in this embodiment adds an anti-detachment protrusion a17 to the water storage structure a1 and / or the float limiting structure a15, and positions the anti-detachment protrusion a17 at the top of the float cavity. This allows the anti-detachment protrusion a17 to engage with the float limiting structure a15 when the water level in the water storage structure a1 is high, causing the float f3 to rise to the top of the float cavity, thus preventing the float f3 from detaching from the top of the float limiting structure a15. Simultaneously, because the anti-detachment protrusion a17 is a convex structure, its contact area with the float f3 is small, making it less prone to adhesion. Therefore, the cleaning device with disinfection function in this embodiment overcomes the defect in existing cleaning devices with disinfection function where the float f3 may detach from the top of the float limiting structure a15, and it is less likely to cause the float f3 to adhere. Furthermore, the cleaning device with disinfection function in this embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, practical, safe, and reliable, and is easy to implement and promote.

[0059] The water storage structure a1 is preferably, but not limited to, a container. The float limiting structure a15 can be a limiting tube extending along the height direction. Preferably, in this embodiment, the float limiting structure a15 is a limiting ring wall surrounding the inner wall of the water storage structure a1. The float cavity is formed between the limiting ring wall and the inner wall of the water storage structure a1. The water inlet a16 can be used to communicate with the inside of the water storage structure a1, so that when the water level in the water storage structure a1 rises or falls, the water level in the water storage cavity can rise or fall synchronously, thereby enabling the float f3 to accurately reflect the water level in the water storage structure a1.

[0060] The water inlet a16 is preferably, but not limited to, a circular or square hole. For example, in this embodiment, the water inlet a16 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the height direction. Setting the water inlet a16 as a strip-shaped hole can prevent the float f3 from blocking the water inlet a16 during movement, thus preventing the water inlet a16 from connecting with the water storage structure a1 and compromising the sensitivity of the float f3. The preset first height is preferably the height of the water volume that the water storage structure a1 needs to prepare each time. The first switching element can be a solenoid valve or a water pump, etc. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first switching element is a water pump, which can drive the water in the water source to flow into the water storage structure a1 when turned on. The control module may include a programmable logic control unit (such as a PLC or CPU), a memory, and electronic components connected to the programmable logic control unit, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cleaning equipment with disinfection function further includes a water outlet pipe assembly and a second detection device f2. The first end of the water outlet pipe assembly is connected to the water outlet a12 of the water storage structure a1. The water outlet pipe assembly includes a water outlet valve. The second detection device f2 is disposed outside the water storage structure a1. The second detection device f2 is adapted to issue a second signal when the water in the water storage structure a1 reaches a preset second height, where the preset second height is lower than a preset first height. The control module is communicatively connected to the second detection device f2 and is adapted to control the water outlet valve to switch to a closed state upon receiving the second signal.

[0062] Therefore, when the water level in the water storage structure a1 is lower than the preset second height, the control module can close the outlet valve, thereby stopping the outlet valve from discharging water, so that the inlet pipe assembly can inject water into the water storage structure a1 and make the water level in the water storage structure a1 reach the preset first height, and then prepare disinfected water again.

[0063] The first detection device f1 and the second detection device f2 can be selected as a first reed switch fixed at a preset first height and a second reed switch fixed at a preset second height, respectively. The float f3 can be a magnetic component with a density less than that of water. The magnetic component can be a magnet or lodestone. To make the density of the magnetic component less than that of water, the surface of the magnet or lodestone can be covered with a lightweight material. The lightweight material is preferably, but not limited to, foam or plastic.

[0064] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first detection device f1 is a first proximity switch disposed outside the water storage structure a1. The second detection device f2 is a second proximity switch disposed outside the water storage structure a1 and located below the first proximity switch.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cleaning equipment with disinfection function further includes a washing component and a water circuit switching structure. The washing component is connected to the second end of the inlet water pipe assembly. The second end of the outlet water pipe assembly is connected to the washing component. The water circuit switching structure is disposed between the second end of the inlet water pipe assembly and the washing component and the water storage structure a1, and has a first state connecting the inlet water pipe assembly to the washing component and a second state connecting the inlet water pipe assembly to the water storage structure a1.

[0066] When the cleaning equipment with disinfection function does not require the preparation of disinfectant solution and only requires water to be introduced into the washing components, the water circuit switching structure can switch to the first state. Tap water enters through the first end of the inlet pipe assembly, and then enters the washing components through the second end of the inlet pipe assembly for washing. When the cleaning equipment with disinfection function requires the preparation of disinfectant solution, the water circuit switching structure switches to the second state. Tap water enters through the first end of the inlet pipe assembly, and then enters the water storage structure a1 through the second end of the inlet pipe assembly. The power supply device provides high voltage electricity to the discharge electrode a21, causing the discharge electrode a21 to generate a discharge arc phenomenon, electrolyzing air and generating ozone. The generated ozone can dissolve in water to produce disinfectant solution. When disinfection is required, the water storage valve can be opened, allowing the disinfectant solution generated in the water storage structure a1 to flow into the washing components, where it is diluted with the water in the washing components. The disinfectant solution is then sprayed onto the tableware through the washing components for disinfection. The disinfectant solution flowing through the washing components can disinfect the washing components and the pipes of the washing components, achieving all-round disinfection with good disinfection effect. Furthermore, the disinfectant water discharged from cleaning equipment with disinfection function will not only not pollute the environment, but will also purify the sewage.

[0067] In this embodiment, the washing assembly includes a water cup 3, and the cleaning device with disinfection function also includes a drain pipe and a drain pump. The drain pipe is connected to the water cup 3 and is adapted to drain the water inside the water cup 3. The drain pump is installed inside the drain pipe. Therefore, after the cleaning device with disinfection function finishes washing, the drain pump can drive the water inside the water cup 3 to be discharged outwards, so as to avoid the water cup 3 becoming damp, which could easily lead to bacterial growth, secondary pollution, or odor, and allow the tableware to be stored in the cleaning device with disinfection function for a long time.

[0068] Preferably, in this embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, the washing assembly also includes a washing pump 4, a spray arm, and an inner tank. During washing, water enters the water cup 3, the washing pump 4 draws the water from the water cup 3 into the spray arm, and the spray arm sprays the water into the inner tank to clean the tableware inside. The water in the inner tank flows back into the water cup 3 for cyclic washing. After washing, the water in the inner tank is discharged into the drain pipe.

[0069] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning equipment with disinfection function also includes an air inlet channel and a porous structure. The air inlet channel is located on the water storage structure a1, suitable for introducing air, and surrounds the discharge electrode a21. The porous structure is located inside the water storage structure a1. The porous structure is connected to the air outlet end of the air inlet channel.

[0070] Air enters the water storage structure a1 through the air intake channel. An arc discharge occurs at the discharge electrode a21, electrolyzing the air in the air intake channel to produce ozone and nitrogen oxides. The ozone produced by electrolysis is discharged into the porous structure through the air outlet of the air intake channel. The porous structure disperses the ozone from the air intake channel into uniform, fine foam and releases it into the water, effectively increasing the contact area between ozone and water, increasing ozone solubility, resulting in a higher ozone concentration in the prepared disinfectant water, better disinfection and sterilization effects, and reducing the risk of undissolved ozone being released into the water, polluting the air, or producing odors.

[0071] Furthermore, the nitrogen oxides produced by air electrolysis can dissolve in water to generate highly oxidizing nitric acid and nitrous acid. Water vapor carried in the air can generate hydroxyl radicals after electrolysis; these hydroxyl radicals dissolve in water to generate highly oxidizing hydrogen peroxide, thereby further enhancing the disinfection and sterilization effect of the disinfectant solution. In this embodiment, as... Figure 7 As shown, the porous structure can be selected as air bubble a3. The air outlet of the air inlet channel is sealed to the air bubble a3. The ozone released from the air outlet of the air inlet channel can be dispersedly released into the water by the air bubble a3.

[0072] The air outlet end of the air intake channel can be bonded or abutted against the air bubble a3, or an abutting protrusion suitable for insertion into and sealing the air intake channel can be formed on the air bubble a3. Preferably, in this embodiment, a fixing hole a31 suitable for fixing the air intake channel is formed on the air bubble a3. The air outlet end of the air intake channel extends into the fixing hole a31. The fixing hole a31 can both limit the air outlet end of the air intake channel and increase the contact area between the air intake channel and the air bubble a3, which helps to improve the airtightness between the air intake channel and the air bubble a3. Moreover, compared to the inner wall of the air intake channel contacting the air bubble a3, when the outer peripheral wall of the air intake channel contacts the air bubble a3, the outer peripheral wall of the air intake channel is less likely to be damaged by the pressure of the air bubble a3.

[0073] In such Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the porous structure includes an air chamber a81 and a waterproof and breathable membrane a84. Wherein, as... Figure 9 , 10 As shown in Figure 11, a first opening a82 and a second opening a83 are formed on the air chamber a81. The outlet end of the air inlet channel is sealed to the first opening a82 of the air chamber a81. A waterproof and breathable membrane a84 seals the second opening a83. Ozone released from the outlet end of the air inlet channel can be introduced into the air chamber a81. The waterproof and breathable membrane a84 allows the ozone to pass through and be dispersedly released into the water, while preventing water from the water storage structure a1 from entering the air chamber a81. The water-facing side of the waterproof and breathable membrane a84 is made of PTFE, and the back side is made of PP & PE.

[0074] In this embodiment, the water storage structure a1 includes a lower cover a19 and an upper cover a18 sealed to the lower cover a19. The discharge electrode a21 and the ground electrode a22 are both fixedly mounted on the upper cover a18. In this embodiment, since the discharge electrode a21 and the ground electrode a22 are integrated and mounted on the upper cover a18, the structure is simple and compact. During assembly, after installing the discharge electrode a21 and the ground electrode a22 on the upper cover a18, the upper cover a18 and the lower cover a19 are assembled together by sol-welding, which improves assembly efficiency. In an alternative embodiment, the discharge electrode a21 is mounted on the upper cover a18, and the ground electrode a22 is mounted in a sheet-like form on the bottom or side wall of the water storage structure a1. The connection end of the ground electrode a22, which is connected to the neutral wire b2 of the power supply device, is exposed on the outside of the water storage structure a1.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 12 and 13 As shown, the cleaning equipment with disinfection function also includes an electrode holder a5 and an insulating tube a6. The electrode holder a5 is mounted on the upper cover of the water storage structure a1, and the discharge electrode a21 is fixedly mounted on the electrode holder a5. The air outlet of the insulating tube a6 is fixedly connected to the electrode holder a5, and the discharge electrode a21 is located inside the insulating tube a6. The air inlet channel includes a first air guide section a51 formed within the electrode holder a5 and a second air guide section a61 formed within the insulating tube a6 and connected to the first air guide section a51.

[0076] The insulating tube a6 can be a glass tube or a ceramic tube, preferably a transparent glass tube, which facilitates observation of the installation status of the discharge electrode a21 and the connection status of the insulating tube a6 with the electrode holder a5 and the bubble stone a3. The insulating tube a6 can act as a barrier medium, making the discharge of the discharge electrode a21 more uniform and stable, and can increase the initial electron density.

[0077] In this embodiment, air can be sequentially introduced into the bubble stone a3 through the first air guide section a51 and the second air guide section a61. The electrode holder a5 is used to fix both the discharge electrode a21 and the ground electrode a22, and can also fix the insulating tube a6, resulting in a simple and compact structure. Preferably, in other alternative embodiments, the electrode holder a5 is only used to fix the discharge electrode a21.

[0078] In this embodiment, the inner sidewalls of the water storage structure a1 and the base 2 of the disinfection-functional cleaning device are sequentially formed with a first mounting hole a14 and a second mounting hole, allowing fasteners to pass through sequentially. This allows the water storage structure a1 to be fixed to the sidewall of the base 2 of the disinfection-functional cleaning device, thereby acting as a counterweight. This eliminates the need for additional counterweights inside the disinfection-functional cleaning device, saving costs and simplifying its structure.

[0079] In summary, the cleaning device with disinfection function of the present invention can overcome the defect that the float f3 of the cleaning device with disinfection function in the prior art may detach from the top of the float limiting structure a15, and the float f3 is not easily stuck to the inner top wall of the water storage structure a1, which can ensure that the detection device can operate reliably.

[0080] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation.
