[0049] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," 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 and simplify the description of the present invention. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limitations on 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.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0052] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0053] Example 1

[0054] Figure 1 The power supply device and disinfectant water generating device of the cleaning equipment according to the first embodiment of the present invention are shown. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the waterway of the cleaning equipment provided in Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Example 1 relates to a cleaning device, including a washing component and a disinfectant water generating device a, wherein the washing component includes an inner tank 1 and a washing device.

[0055] Specifically, the disinfectant water generating device a includes a water storage structure a1, a discharge electrode a2 and a loop electrode a3, a blocking medium and an air inlet channel. The water storage structure a1 has a water inlet a11 and a water outlet a12. The discharge electrode a2 is arranged in the water storage structure a1. The discharge electrode a2 is connected to the live wire b1 of the power supply device b, and the loop electrode a3 is connected to the neutral wire b2 of the power supply device b. The blocking medium is arranged between the loop electrode a3 and the discharge electrode a2. The air inlet channel is arranged on the water storage structure a1. The air inlet channel is suitable for introducing air through the air supply device 5, and the air inlet channel surrounds the outside of the discharge electrode a2.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the disinfectant water generating device a is working, the power supply device b provides a high-frequency alternating voltage of about 10KV (for example, 6KV to 15KV) to the discharge electrode a21, and the air enters the water storage structure a1 through the air inlet channel. The discharge electrode a21 of the disinfectant water generating device a generates a glow discharge phenomenon, and uses high-voltage discharge to generate plasma in a liquid environment. During discharge, high-energy electrons react violently with air and water molecules around the gas / liquid interface to generate highly oxidizing single oxygen atoms, ozone ion groups, hydrogen peroxide ion groups, hydroxyl groups, nitroso groups, etc., which have extremely strong killing ability against bacteria and viruses, and produce plasma with fine particles. Plasma disinfectant water with the ability to disinfect bacteria and viruses has a disinfection effect that is better than traditional disinfection methods such as high-temperature disinfection, steam disinfection, ultraviolet disinfection, and silver ion disinfection; it can not only combine the washing function and the disinfection function, but also because the disinfectant generating device produces harmful gases during the electrolysis process, the harmful gases mainly include ozone. When the washing equipment is in working condition, the temperature in the inner tank 1 is high, and discharging the harmful gases into the inner tank 1 can accelerate the decomposition of ozone; when the washing equipment is not in working condition, the temperature in the base of the cleaning equipment is high, and discharging the harmful gases into the base of the cleaning equipment can accelerate the decomposition of ozone.

[0057] While the cleaning device in this embodiment is a dishwasher, in other embodiments, the cleaning device may also be a washing machine or other device with a washing function. When the cleaning device is a washing machine, the inner tank 1 may be a washing drum. Furthermore, when the cleaning device is performing a disinfection wash cycle, the air supply device 5 opens the air intake a certain amount of time in advance. This ensures that air can drain the water from the air intake channel of the disinfectant water generator a before the disinfectant water generator a prepares the disinfectant water. This allows the air intake channel to be filled with flowing gas to prepare for the electrolysis reaction, thereby further improving the efficiency of the disinfectant water generator in preparing the disinfectant water.

[0058] The entire water circuit of the cleaning device of this embodiment is described in detail below.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning equipment includes a water inlet pipe assembly and a water circuit switching structure, wherein the first end of the water inlet pipe assembly is connected to a water source (such as a faucet 16), a flow meter 7 is provided between the disinfectant water generating device a and the second end of the water inlet pipe assembly, and the water circuit switching structure includes a three-way valve 13, the water inlet end of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the second end of the water inlet pipe assembly, the first water outlet end of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the first end of the flow meter 7 through a first sub-pipeline g1, the water inlet a11 of the disinfectant water generating device a is connected to the second end of the flow meter 7 through a second sub-pipeline g2, and the second water outlet end of the three-way valve 13 is connected to the washing assembly through a third sub-pipeline g3.

[0060] Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the water inlet pipeline assembly includes: a sixth sub-pipeline g6, a breather 8, and a water softener 6, one end of the sixth sub-pipeline g6 is connected to the water source, the other end of the sixth sub-pipeline g6 is connected to the first end of the water inlet control element 9, the water inlet end of the breather 8 is connected to the second end of the water inlet control element 9 through the seventh sub-pipeline g7, the water outlet end of the breather 8 is connected to the water inlet end of the water softener 6, and the water outlet end of the water softener 6 constitutes the second end of the water inlet pipeline assembly.

[0061] As a specific embodiment, a switch element for controlling water outflow from the water outlet a12 of the water storage structure a1 is provided between the fourth sub-pipeline g4 and the fifth sub-pipeline g5 . In a preferred embodiment, the switch element is a water pump 4 .

[0062] The disinfectant water generating device a is described in detail below.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water storage structure a1 includes a lower cover a13 and an upper cover a14 sealed to the lower cover a13 , and the discharge electrode a2 and the return electrode a3 are both fixedly arranged on the upper cover a14 .

[0064] Specifically, the air supply device 5 provides air to the air inlet passage. The exemplary air supply device 5 may be an air pump.

[0065] Furthermore, if Figure 5 In the disinfectant water generator a shown, ozone generated by electrolysis is discharged into the porous structure a8 through the outlet of the air inlet channel. The porous structure a8 disperses the ozone from the air inlet channel into a uniform, fine foam that is released into the water. This effectively increases the contact area between the ozone and the water, increasing its solubility. This results in a higher ozone concentration in the prepared disinfectant water, improving its disinfection and sterilization effectiveness, while also reducing the risk of ozone emissions polluting the air or producing odors.

[0066] Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the air inlet channel includes an air inlet channel a6 disposed around the outer side of the discharge electrode a21. The air inlet channel a6 is fixed to the upper cover a14. In this embodiment, the air inlet channel a6 is integrated with the discharge electrode a21 and the return electrode a3 on the upper cover a14, further improving assembly efficiency. Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the disinfectant water generator a includes an electrode holder a7 fixed to the upper cover a14. The air inlet channel is preferably, but not limited to, a ceramic tube or a glass tube.

[0067] In a second specific embodiment, the cleaning device includes a base, with a disinfectant water generating device a disposed within the base. In this case, the switching element may be a water pump 4. When disinfection is required, water pump 4 is turned on, allowing the disinfectant water generated within the water storage structure a1 to flow into the inner container 1, thereby disinfecting the tableware.

[0068] Furthermore, the setting of the cleaning equipment detection device can prevent water from accumulating in the base, thereby ensuring the service life of the cleaning equipment and also includes an overflow detection device, which can control the drainage pump 10 to work when water enters the base. Overflow operation stability.

[0069] The washing component is described in detail below.

[0070] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, a washing assembly includes a water cup 3, a washing pump 14, a spray arm 15, and an inner container 1. During washing, water enters the water cup 3, the washing pump 14 pumps the water from the water cup 3 into the spray arm 15, and the spray arm 15 sprays the water into the inner container 1, cleaning the dishes inside. The water in the inner container 1 then flows into the water cup 3, performing a cyclic washing cycle. After washing is complete, the water in the inner container 1 is discharged into a drain 17. A switch element can control the flow of disinfectant water generated in the water storage structure a1 into either the water cup 3 or the inner container 1. In an alternative embodiment, the washing assembly includes the inner container 1 and an ultrasonic generator disposed within the inner container 1. During washing, water enters the inner container 1, the ultrasonic generator cleans the dishes inside the inner container 1, and a switch element can control the flow of disinfectant water generated in the water storage structure a1 into the inner container 1. Therefore, the water outlet a12 of the disinfectant water generating device a can be connected to the water cup or the inner container 1, allowing the disinfectant water to flow into either the water cup 3 or the inner container 1.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes: step S1 and step S2.

[0073] Among them, step S1 mainly includes: after the cleaning equipment completes the disinfection and washing mode, controlling the water storage structure a1 to refill with water and cooperating with the drying device to discharge the residual liquid in the porous structure a8.

[0074] Step S2 mainly includes: controlling the residual liquid in the disinfectant water generating device a to be discharged through the inner tank 1.

[0075] The water circuit of the whole machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below.

[0076] Water inlet for washing the inner tank 1: tap water passes through the solenoid valve, the breather 8, the water softener 6, and flows through the three-way valve 13 to the water cup 3 in the inner tank 1.

[0077] Washing: The washing pump 14 draws washing water from the water cup 3 of the inner tank 1 and delivers it to the spray arm 15 for spray washing. The washing water drips and gathers in the water cup 3 at the bottom of the inner tank 1, and re-enters the washing pump 14 for a washing cycle.

[0078] Disinfectant water circuit: Tap water passes through the solenoid valve, respirator 8, water softener 6, flows through the three-way valve 13 and leads to the disinfectant water generating device a. After the disinfectant water generating device a completes water intake, it prepares disinfectant water. After the disinfectant water is prepared, the water pump transports the disinfectant water to the water cup 3 of the inner tank 1, and then disinfects and washes it.

[0079] During the execution of the control method of the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present invention, after executing the disinfection washing mode, the cleaning device can first control the disinfection water generating device a to re-intake water and cooperate with the drying device to discharge the residual liquid in the porous structure a8, thereby avoiding residual disinfectant in the porous structure a8, and then control the residual liquid in the disinfection water generating device a to be discharged into the inner tank 1 again, thereby avoiding the residual disinfectant on the inner wall of the disinfection water generating device a and its porous structure a8, resulting in an inaccurate concentration of the disinfectant water prepared next time. Therefore, the cleaning device of the embodiment of the present invention can clean the inner wall of the disinfection water generating device a and the porous structure a8 after the disinfection water generating device a prepares disinfectant, thereby overcoming the defect of the disinfectant in the disinfection water generating device a of the cleaning device in the prior art that the disinfectant is easily residual. The concentration of the disinfectant water prepared is more accurate, and the tableware can be cleaned more thoroughly.

[0080] Step S1 and step S2 can be set to be executed simultaneously, or step S2 can be set to be executed before step S1. Preferably, in this embodiment, step S2 can be executed after step S1 is completed, which can ensure that the residual liquid in the porous structure a8 is fully discharged before drainage, so as to fully remove the residual disinfectant in the porous structure a8, shorten the opening time of the drainage pump 10, save electricity, and help extend the service life of the drainage pump 10.

[0081] In this embodiment, step S1 specifically includes step S11, step S12 and step S13.

[0082] Among them, step S11 mainly includes: after the cleaning equipment completes the disinfection washing mode, controlling the disinfection water generating device a to enter water again to clean the disinfection water generating device a, thereby flushing the inner wall of the disinfection water generating device a, and at the same time soaking the porous structure a8 with clean water, which can facilitate the drying device to remove the disinfectant in the porous structure a8.

[0083] Step S12 mainly includes: controlling the drying device to discharge the residual liquid in the porous structure a8. Step S12 can prevent the residual disinfectant in the porous structure a8.

[0084] Step S13 mainly includes: after the cleaning equipment completes the second rinsing, controlling the water in the disinfectant water generating device a to be discharged into the inner tank 1 again.

[0085] The cleaning device is set to execute the pre-wash program-main wash program-first rinse program-disinfection wash program-second rinse program-end of washing in sequence. The first rinse is mainly used to rinse food residues on tableware. The disinfection wash program mainly uses the disinfectant water prepared by the disinfectant water generating device a to clean the tableware, thereby disinfecting and sterilizing the tableware. The second rinse program is used to remove the disinfectant water residue in the disinfectant water generating device a. The cleaning device executing the second rinse program specifically includes: the cleaning device executing at least two rinsing programs; when the second rinse program is completed, the washing water in the inner tank is discharged through the drain pump. Step S13 mainly includes controlling the water in the disinfectant water generating device a to be discharged to the inner tank 1 again after the cleaning device executes the second rinsing program. The washing water in the disinfectant water generating device a can be discharged from the inner tank during the drainage process of the drain pump.

[0086] Therefore, the control method of the cleaning equipment of this embodiment can remove the cleaning water on the inner wall of the disinfectant water generating device a by feeding water into the disinfectant water generating device a, remove the residual liquid in the porous structure a8 with the help of the drying device, and then discharge the cleaning water into the inner tank 1, to ensure that there is no disinfectant residual in the disinfectant water generating device a. Among them, step S12 can be optionally performed before step S13, or can be optionally performed after step S13, or can be optionally performed simultaneously with step S13. Preferably, in this embodiment, step S12 is performed after the execution of step S11 is completed, and the porous structure a8 can be dried after the porous structure a8 is fully soaked, which can fully remove the residual liquid in the porous structure a8, thereby helping to shorten the use time of the drying device, save electricity and help to extend the service life of the drying device.

[0087] In this embodiment, the drying device preferably includes an air supply device 5 connected to the air inlet channel a6 of the disinfectant water generating device a. Step S12 specifically includes:

[0088] The air supply device 5 is controlled to supply air into the air inlet channel a6, and the water in the porous structure a8 is discharged through the air supply device. The air supply device 5 preferably includes, but is not limited to, an air pump or a fan.

[0089] Preferably, in this embodiment, the drying device further comprises a heating module. The heating module can dry out the residual water in the disinfectant generating device a, thereby accelerating the drying process of the disinfectant generating device a and ensuring that the disinfectant generating device a is dried more thoroughly.

[0090] Controlling the drying device to continuously discharge the residual liquid in the porous structure a8 specifically includes:

[0091] Controlling the heating module to heat and evaporate the residual liquid in the porous structure a8;

[0092] The and / or heating module is suitable for heating the air output by the air supply device 5 .

[0093] The heating module preferably includes, but is not limited to, a heating wire, a PTC heating element, or a semiconductor temperature control device.

[0094] In this embodiment, step S1 also includes step S14 and step S15.

[0095] Among them, step S14 mainly includes: according to the cleaning equipment being in the drying mode, controlling the drying device to discharge the residue in the porous structure a8, so as to avoid the disinfectant remaining in the porous structure a8.

[0096] Step S15 mainly includes: controlling the residue discharged from the drying device to be discharged into the inner container 1 and discharged through the inner container 1 .

[0097] The disinfectant discharged from the porous structure a8 in step S14 can flow to the bottom of the disinfectant water generating device a and be discharged into the inner tank 1 of the cleaning equipment during step S15, thereby avoiding residual water in the disinfectant water generating device a and causing bacterial growth.

[0098] Step S14 and step S15 can be configured to be executed simultaneously, or step S15 can be executed before step S14. Preferably, in this embodiment, step S14 is executed before step S15. In a more preferred embodiment, step S15 is configured to be executed after step S14 is completed. This ensures that the residue in the porous structure a8 is discharged before the drain pump 10 is started, and the residue in the disinfectant water generating device a is discharged into the inner tank 1, thereby shortening the opening time of the drain pump 10, saving electricity, and helping to extend the service life of the water pump.

[0099] In this embodiment, the duration of the drying mode of the cleaning device is about 20 minutes. When the model of the cleaning device is larger, the duration of its drying mode is longer. For example, when the drying time of the cleaning device is set to one hour. Step S15 is preferably configured as follows: when the drying device is completed, the first preset period is paused, and the solution containing the dissolved residue is controlled to be discharged into the inner liner 1 and discharged through the inner liner 1. By pausing the first preset period, it can ensure that the water in the air inlet channel a6 and the porous structure a8 flows out fully, and the use time of the water pump is shortened, which helps to save electricity and extend the service life of the water pump. When the model of the cleaning device is small and the duration of the drying mode is short, there is no need to pause the first preset period.

[0100] In this embodiment, step S1 also includes step S16 and step S17.

[0101] Among them, step S16 mainly includes: according to the cleaning mode of the cleaning equipment, controlling the drying device to discharge the residue in the porous structure a8.

[0102] Step S17 mainly includes: controlling the residue discharged from the drying device to be discharged into the inner liner 1 and discharged through the inner liner 1. With this arrangement, the cleaning device can be switched to a cleaning mode when not in use for a long time, and steps S16 and S17 are executed. Thereby, the residue in the disinfectant water generating device a is cleaned and discharged through the inner liner 1 of the cleaning device, ensuring that the disinfectant water generating device a is in a clean state when used next time, and can prepare clean disinfectant water with accurate concentration. Among them, the cleaning device can be set to automatically execute steps S16 and S17 at regular intervals, or it can be set to execute steps S16 and S17 in response to a preset cleaning instruction input by the user.

[0103] When the cleaning device is configured to execute steps S16 and S17 in response to a preset cleaning instruction input by a user, step S16 mainly includes: controlling the drying device to discharge residues in the porous structure a8 according to the acquired preset cleaning instruction.

[0104] Step S17 mainly includes: controlling the residue discharged from the drying device to be discharged into the inner container 1 and discharged through the inner container 1 .

[0105] In this embodiment, step S17 specifically includes step S171 and step S172.

[0106] Step S171 primarily involves: after the drying device completes its first preset period of operation, controlling the disinfectant water generator a to admit water to rinse and dissolve any remaining residue. This pause for the first preset period of time allows the liquid within the inner wall, porous structure, and glass tube of the disinfectant water generator a to fully flow to the bottom of the disinfectant water generator a, ensuring that the wash water can be efficiently discharged by the water pump. The first preset period of time is preferably, but not limited to, 2 minutes.

[0107] Step S72 mainly includes: controlling the solution containing the dissolved residue to be discharged into the inner container 1 and discharged through the inner container 1 .
