Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of disinfection technology, and more specifically, to an electrolysis control method, a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium, an electrolysis control device, and an electrolysis apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Hypochlorous acid electrolysis equipment primarily prepares disinfectant by electrolyzing sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution to generate hypochlorous acid (HClO). During electrolysis, sodium ions (cations) and chloride and hypochlorite ions (anions) are generated. The ions accumulating at the cathode and anode of the electrode plates generate a reverse electric field, opposite to the electric field between the cathode and anode. However, in existing electrolysis equipment, a large number of sodium ions accumulate at the cathode, and a large number of chloride and hypochlorite ions accumulate at the anode during the electrolysis of sodium chloride to produce hypochlorous acid. This increases the strength of the reverse electric field and weakens the electric field between the cathode and anode. Consequently, chloride ions not near the electrode plates have difficulty approaching the anode to complete electrolysis, thus affecting the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode plates. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an electrolysis control method, a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium, an electrolysis control device, and an electrolysis apparatus.

The multiple pairs of electrode plates are disposed at different positions in the electrolysis cell. The electrolysis control method includes controlling the multiple pairs of electrode plates to work alternately in an electrolysis mode and a motion mode. In the electrolysis mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to electrolyze the solution in the electrolysis cell. In the motion mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to drive the ion circulation motion in the electrolysis cell.

[0005] The non-volatile computer-readable storage medium of this application includes a computer program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the electrolysis control method. The electrolysis device includes multiple pairs of electrode plates and an electrolytic cell. The multiple pairs of electrode plates are disposed at different positions within the electrolytic cell. The electrolysis control method includes controlling the multiple pairs of electrode plates to alternately operate in an electrolysis mode and a motion mode. In the electrolysis mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to electrolyze the solution within the electrolytic cell. In the motion mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to drive the ion circulation within the electrolytic cell.

[0006] The electrolysis control device according to embodiments of this application includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements the electrolysis control method. The electrolysis equipment includes multiple pairs of electrode plates and an electrolytic cell. The multiple pairs of electrode plates are disposed at different positions in the electrolytic cell. The electrolysis control method includes controlling the multiple pairs of electrode plates to work alternately in an electrolysis mode and a motion mode.

In the motion mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to drive the ion circulation motion in the electrolytic cell.

[0007] The electrolysis device according to this application includes an electrolytic cell and multiple pairs of electrode plates. The multiple pairs of electrode plates are disposed at different positions within the electrolytic cell and are configured to operate alternately in an electrolysis mode and a motion mode. In the electrolysis mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to electrolyze the solution within the electrolytic cell; in the motion mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates are configured to drive the ion circulation within the electrolytic cell.

[0008] The electrolysis control method, non-volatile computer-readable storage medium, electrolysis control device, and electrolysis equipment of this application are configured with a motion mode and an electrolysis mode in the electrode plates. After activating the motion mode, multiple pairs of electrode plates positioned at different locations within the electrolysis cell apply forces to the ions in the cell. Each pair of electrode plates uses a different voltage control curve, allowing different electrode plates to apply different forces to each ion. This drives the ions in the electrolysis cell to circulate without introducing mechanical disturbances, resulting in a more uniform ion concentration at different locations within the cell. The concentration of ions accumulated at the cathode and anode decreases, thereby reducing the intensity of the reverse electric field generated by the ions accumulated at the cathode and anode, preventing interference from the reverse electric field on the electric field between the cathode and anode. At this point, the electrolysis mode can be activated to electrolyze the ions in the electrolysis cell. Thus, by having multiple pairs of electrode plates alternate between the electrolysis mode and the motion mode, the ion concentration near the electrode plates is prevented from becoming excessively high, ensuring the electrolysis effect of each pair of electrode plates.

[0021] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are optional and are only used to explain the embodiments of this application, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 This application provides an electrolysis control method applied to an electrolysis device 100. The electrolysis device 100 includes multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 and an electrolysis cell 30. The multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are disposed at different positions in the electrolysis cell 30. The electrolysis control method includes:

[0023] Step 011: Control the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to work alternately in electrolysis mode and motion mode. In electrolysis mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are configured to electrolyze the solution in the electrolysis cell 30. In motion mode, the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are configured to drive the ion circulation motion in the electrolysis cell 30.

[0024] Specifically, in existing technologies, disinfection is generally achieved by electrolyzing an electrolyte to generate electrolytic products that can be used for disinfection. After the electrolyte dissolves in the liquid of the electrolytic cell 30, corresponding cations and anions are generated. The ions generated by electrolyzing the electrolyte then yield the electrolytic products. For example, the electrode plate 20 includes a cathode 21 and an anode 22. The anode 22 of each pair of electrode plates 20 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the cathode 21 of each pair of electrode plates 20 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply. The electrolyte is sodium chloride. After adding the solution and sodium chloride to the electrolytic cell 30, the sodium chloride dissolves in the solution, generating sodium ions (cations) and chloride ions (anions). When the chloride ions come into contact with and are electrolyzed at the anode 22 of the electrode plate 20, hypochlorous acid is generated. Hypochlorous acid can also decompose into hypochlorite ions (anions). When the electrode plate 20 is energized, a constant voltage is applied between the cathode 21 and the anode 22, generating a constant electric field between them. The direction of the constant electric field is from the anode 22 to the cathode 21. Figure 2 In the diagram, E represents a constant electric field, and the arrows near cathode 21 and anode 22 indicate the direction of this constant electric field. Anions within the electrolytic cell 30 are attracted by anode 22, and cations are attracted by cathode 21. The cations and anions accumulated at anode 22 and cathode 21 generate a reverse electric field, with the direction opposite to the electric field between cathode 21 and anode 22. For example, please refer to... Figure 3 In the figure, E is a constant electric field, E2 is a reverse electric field, and the arrows between the electric fields indicate the direction of the corresponding electric fields. a is an anion, and the arrow on the anion indicates the direction of the force on the anion. It can be found that anion a will be subjected to the forces of both the constant electric field and the reverse electric field at the same time.

[0025] However, in the actual electrolysis process, due to the limited strength of the electric field between the cathode 21 and the anode 22, only ions between and relatively close to the cathode 21 and anode 22 are attracted to the vicinity of the electrode plate 20 by a force sufficient to attract them. Ions farther away experience a weaker force and are difficult to move to the vicinity of the corresponding electrode plate 20. Furthermore, when ions are located on the side of the electrode plate 20 opposite to the other electrode plate 20 with the same polarity as the ions, for example, when anion is located on the side of the cathode 21 opposite to the anode 22, the electrode plate 20 will exert a repulsive force on the ions, causing them to move further and further away from the electrode plate 20, resulting in the inability of the ions to complete electrolysis. For example... Figure 2In the diagram, a, b, c, and d represent different anions. Specifically, the dashed lines with arrows on anion c indicate the directions of the forces exerted on anion c by cathode 21 and anode 22, respectively. Since anion c is farthest from electrode plate 20, it experiences the least force. Anion b, located on the side of cathode 21 away from anode 22, tends to move away from electrode plate 20, preventing it from reaching anode 22 and completing electrolysis. Furthermore, as more ions accumulate near cathode 21 and anode 22, the strength of the reverse electric field gradually increases until it equals the strength of the constant electric field. This weakens the electric field between cathode 21 and anode 22, reducing the force attracting ions and inhibiting ion movement. Consequently, ions generated near the electrolysis plate during electrolysis cannot be replenished in time. Therefore, after a period of electrolysis, electrode plate 20 can only electrolyze a small amount of ions generated near the electrolysis plate, leading to a decrease in electrolysis efficiency.

[0026] To address the above issues and ensure a uniform ion concentration within the electrolytic cell 30, thereby reducing interference from the reverse electric field on the electric field between the cathode 21 and anode 22, the electrode plates 20 of this application are equipped with a motion mode. In this motion mode, the electrolysis equipment 100 controls multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to operate according to several different voltage control curves. The multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are positioned at different locations within the electrolytic cell 30, and each electrode plate 20 has a different voltage control curve. This results in different directions and intensities of the force exerted by each electrode plate 20 on each ion, thereby enabling the electrode plates 20 to drive the ion circulation within the electrolytic cell 30. For example, please refer to... Figure 4 In the figure, straight line d represents the direction of force on the ions at a certain moment, and curves e and f represent the trajectories of the ions. In this way, ions can continuously move within the electrolytic cell 30 without introducing mechanical disturbance, thereby making the ion concentration at different locations within the electrolytic cell 30 more uniform. Furthermore, when electrolyte is added to the electrolytic cell 30, the ionic circulation within the cell accelerates the dissolution of the electrolyte, thus improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode plate 20.

[0027] When the ion concentration becomes uniform, the number of ions accumulated at cathode 21 and anode 22 decreases, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the reverse electric field. The strength of the electric field between cathode 21 and anode 22 increases, increasing the force attracting ions closer to them. The inhibitory effect of the reverse electric field on ion movement is thus relieved, allowing ions generated by the electrolyte to be attracted to the vicinity of electrode plate 20 for electrolysis, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of electrode plate 20. Furthermore, when multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 drive the ion circulation within the electrolytic cell 30, ions farther from the electrode plates 20 also move. After the electrode plates 20 operate in motion mode, ions that were originally farther from the electrode plates 20 may remain near them. This ensures that as many ions as possible within the electrolytic cell 30 are attracted by the electrode plates 20 and complete electrolysis, thereby improving the utilization rate of ions within the electrolytic cell 30.

[0028] It should be noted that in motion mode, the electrode plates 20 at different positions exert different forces on the ions, causing them to move. If the forces exerted on the ions by the cathodes 21 and anodes 22 of each pair of electrode plates 20 are different, the ions may experience excessive forces and their movement trajectories may become chaotic, potentially leading to uneven ion concentrations within the electrolytic cell 30. Therefore, when motion mode is activated, a device, such as a relay, is needed to connect the cathodes 21 and anodes 22 of each pair of electrode plates 20 in parallel to ensure that the forces exerted on the ions by the cathodes 21 and anodes 22 of each pair of electrode plates 20 are equal.

[0029] After the control electrode plates 20 operate in motion mode for a period of time, the ion concentration in the electrolytic cell 30 becomes uniform. At this point, the electrode plates 20 can be controlled to operate in electrolysis mode, causing them to begin electrolyzing ions. First, the parallel-connected cathode 21 and anode 22 are separated. Then, each pair of electrode plates 20 is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, respectively. That is, the anode 22 of electrode plate 20 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the cathode 21 of electrode plate 20 is connected to the negative terminal. Multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are controlled to operate continuously in electrolysis mode. In electrolysis mode, the two electrodes of electrode plate 20 have different polarities, attracting ions of different polarities. When the electrode plates 20 are energized, the ions are electrolyzed to generate electrolysis products, which are then used for subsequent sterilization. Furthermore, when the electrode plates 20 are in electrolysis mode, each pair of electrode plates 20 can operate independently, meaning each pair can complete electrolysis independently, ensuring that the electrode plates 20 can efficiently electrolyze ions.

[0030] Thus, after the electrolysis equipment 100 starts its electrolysis function, it can control multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to work alternately in electrolysis mode and motion mode, so that the ion concentration near the electrode plates 20 is maintained within a certain reasonable range, thereby ensuring the electrolysis effect of each pair of electrode plates 20.

[0031] Furthermore, the electrolysis mode and motion mode can be alternated according to the working duration. For example, a first preset duration for the motion mode is determined based on the minimum time required for the electrode plate 20 to achieve uniform ion concentration. Then, a second preset duration for the electrolysis mode is set based on the electrolysis efficiency and the rate of increase in the reverse electric field strength. For instance, after the electrode plate 20 has been working in the electrolysis mode for a certain period, such as 2 minutes, a large amount of electrolysis products may have accumulated near the electrode plate 20. At this point, the electrolysis mode needs to be deactivated and the motion mode activated to disperse the accumulated electrolysis products. Therefore, this duration can be set as the second preset duration. Then, after the electrode plate 20 has been working in the motion mode for the first preset duration, the electrode plate 20 is controlled to stop working in the motion mode and switch to the electrolysis mode. After the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 operate in electrolysis mode for a second preset time, ions accumulate in large quantities near the electrode plates 20. This results in a strong weakening effect of the reverse electric field on the electric field between the cathode 21 and the anode 22. The electrode plates 20 can no longer attract ions not near them. At this point, the electrolysis mode needs to be deactivated, and the process re-enters the step of controlling the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to operate in motion mode for a first preset time according to different voltage control curves. This ensures a uniform ion concentration within the electrolytic cell 30, reduces the strength of the reverse electric field, and increases the probability of unelectrolyted ions approaching the electrode plates 20. After the first preset time of operation in motion mode, i.e., after the ion concentration within the electrolytic cell 30 becomes uniform, the process of controlling the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to operate in electrolysis mode for a second preset time will re-enter the step. For example, if the first preset time is 20 seconds and the second preset time is 2 minutes, after the electrode plates 20 operate in electrolysis mode for 2 minutes, they are immediately controlled to operate in motion mode; 20 seconds later, they are then controlled to operate in electrolysis mode for another 2 minutes. In this way, by cyclically executing the motion mode and the electrolysis mode, the electrode plate 20 can promptly disperse the ions that accumulate near the cathode 21 and the anode 22, and weaken the strength of the reverse electric field in a timely manner. This prevents the electrolysis products from accumulating in large quantities near the electrode plate 20, and the ions generated by the electrolyte cannot approach the electrode plate 20, causing the electrode plate 20 to be unable to complete the electrolysis of the ions generated by the electrolyte, thereby affecting the disinfection effect of the electrolysis equipment 100.

[0032] Furthermore, after the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 have operated in electrolysis mode for a second preset time, the concentration of electrolytic products in the electrolysis cell 30 becomes uneven, with some areas having excessively high concentrations and others having excessively low concentrations. This leads to unstable disinfection performance of the electrolysis equipment 100. Therefore, after electrolysis, the electrode plates 20 can be operated in motion mode to make the concentration of electrolytic products in the electrolysis cell 30 more uniform, allowing the electrolytic products to diffuse in a timely manner, thereby improving the disinfection stability of the electrolysis equipment 100.

[0033] The electrolysis control method of this application sets a motion mode and an electrolysis mode in the electrode plates 20. After the motion mode is activated, multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 arranged at different positions in the electrolysis cell 30 can apply forces to the ions in the electrolysis cell 30. Each pair of electrode plates 20 uses a different voltage control curve, so that different electrode plates 20 apply different forces to each ion. This drives the ions in the electrolysis cell 30 to circulate without introducing mechanical disturbance, making the ion concentration at different positions in the electrolysis cell 30 more uniform. The ion concentration accumulated at the cathode 21 and anode 22 is reduced, thereby reducing the strength of the reverse electric field generated by the ions accumulated at the cathode 21 and anode 22 and preventing the reverse electric field from interfering with the electric field between the cathode 21 and anode 22. At this time, the electrolysis mode can be activated to electrolyze the ions in the electrolysis cell 30. In this way, after multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 work alternately in electrolysis mode and motion mode, the ion concentration near the electrode plates 20 is not too high, thus ensuring the electrolysis effect of each pair of electrode plates 20.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the electrode plates 20 include at least three pairs, the cyclic motion includes rotational motion, and the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 operate according to different voltage control curves to form a rotating electric field. The rotating electric field is used to drive the ions in the electrolytic cell 30 to rotate, and the voltage control curve is a sine wave curve.

[0035] Specifically, the electrode plates 20 include at least three pairs, and the voltage control curve is a sinusoidal waveform curve, that is, the voltage on the electrode plates 20 is a sinusoidal voltage, for example... Figure 5 This causes the force exerted by each electrode plate 20 on the ions to continuously change. The cyclic motion includes rotational motion. Due to the different initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves, the forces exerted by different electrode plates 20 on the ions differ, and the direction and magnitude of the total force on the ions change constantly, creating a rotating electric field within the electrolytic cell 30. Driven by this rotating electric field, the ions within the electrolytic cell 30 rotate along the direction of the force, making the ion concentration within the electrolytic cell 30 more uniform, thus facilitating the weakening of the directional electric field. Specifically, when multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 operate in motion mode, the direction of the force on the ions and the direction of the ion velocity are both acute angles, ensuring that the force continuously drives the ions to move, thereby guaranteeing uniform ion concentration at different locations within the electrolytic cell 30.

[0036] The electrode plates 20 include at least three pairs, such as three, four, or five pairs. If the number of electrode plates 20 is too large, the phase difference between each electrode plate 20 is relatively small, resulting in a higher cost for the electrolysis equipment 100. Therefore, while forming a rotating electric field, the number of electrode plates 20 can be minimized to ensure uniform ion concentration within the electrolysis cell 30 while saving on the cost of the electrolysis equipment 100. Two pairs of electrode plates 20 are insufficient to form a rotating electric field, while three pairs are sufficient. Therefore, it can be understood that when a rotating electric field is required to achieve uniform ion concentration within the electrolysis cell 30, setting three pairs of electrode plates 20 is the optimal solution.

[0037] Furthermore, the electrolytic cell 30 includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and multiple side walls connected in sequence. The top wall and bottom wall are opposite each other, and the side walls are disposed on the bottom wall. When setting the positions of the electrode plates 20, multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 need to be placed in different locations within the electrolytic cell 30. For example, when there are three pairs of electrode plates 20, the three pairs of electrode plates 20 are respectively disposed in any three of the top wall, bottom wall, and multiple side walls. This allows the ions to be subjected to forces from three different directions, thus changing the direction of the total force on the ions and enabling the ions to move in different directions. This achieves a uniform ion concentration through a stirring-like process.

[0038] Furthermore, please combine Figure 6 Because the force exerted by each electrode plate 20 on the ions is limited, ions farther away from the electrode plate 20 may not receive any force from it. Therefore, the movement trajectory of each ion in the electrolytic cell 30 may be different. For example, if there are three pairs of electrode plates 20, and the installation positions of the three pairs of electrode plates 20 are evenly distributed over 360 degrees (i.e., when the three pairs of electrode plates 20 are located on the same plane), and the angle between the line connecting the geometric centers of two adjacent electrode plates 20 and the three pairs of electrode plates 20 is 120 degrees, then the ions at the geometric centers of the three pairs of electrode plates 20 receive three forces at 120-degree intervals. Since the amplitude of the voltage control curve corresponding to each pair of electrode plates 20 is the same, and the distance between the ions at the geometric centers and the three electrode plates 20 is equal, the range of forces exerted by the ions at the geometric centers from the different electrode plates 20 is consistent. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the ions in this case is a perfect circle. At other locations, the distance between the ions and the three electrode plates 20 varies, resulting in inconsistent ranges of forces exerted by the ions on each plate. The electrode plate closer to the ions exerts a larger force over a wider range, while the electrode plate farther from the ions exerts a smaller force. Consequently, the ion's trajectory becomes elliptical, with the minor axis corresponding to the electrode plate farther from the ions and the major axis corresponding to the electrode plate closer to the ions. For example... Figure 6The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of the force acting on the ion at a given moment, while the ellipse and circle represent the ion's trajectory, respectively.

[0039] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the electrode plates 20 include two pairs, and the cyclic motion includes reciprocating motion. The two pairs of electrode plates 20 operate according to different voltage control curves to form two electric fields in opposite directions. The two electric fields in opposite directions are used to alternately drive the ions in the electrolytic cell 30 to reciprocate between the two pairs of electrode plates 20. The voltage control curve is a sine wave curve.

[0040] Specifically, the electrode plates 20 may further include two pairs, and the cyclic motion may also include reciprocating motion. The two pairs of electrode plates 20 operate according to different voltage control curves, causing them to form two electric fields in opposite directions. Since the voltage control curves of the two pairs of electrode plates 20 are sinusoidal waveforms, the electric forces in the two electric fields are constantly changing. Furthermore, because the ions are only acted upon by the two pairs of electrode plates 20, and only by forces in two directions, the ions will move along the direction of the forces, reciprocating between the two electrode plates 20, and their trajectory will be a straight line or a curve, for example... Figure 7 The different line segments represent the trajectories of different ions within a continuous time period. If the two forces acting on an ion from the two pairs of electrode plates 20 are in the same horizontal line, then the ion's trajectory is a straight line. If the two forces acting on an ion from the two pairs of electrode plates 20 are not in the same horizontal line, then the ion's trajectory is a curve. For example, if the centers of the two pairs of electrode plates 20 are on the same horizontal line, and a line connecting the centers of the two pairs of electrode plates 20 is drawn, then the ions located along this line will have straight trajectories, while the ions located outside this line will have curved trajectories. In this way, by configuring the electrode plates 20, ions can be ensured to move back and forth within the electrolytic cell 30, thereby achieving a uniform ion concentration.

[0041] It is understandable that having two pairs of electrode plates 20 is more suitable for a long, narrow electrolytic cell 30. When there are two pairs of electrode plates 20, in order to ensure the uniform effect of the two pairs of electrode plates 20, the two pairs of electrode plates 20 need to be set relative to each other. That is, the two pairs of electrode plates 20 are respectively set on opposite top walls or bottom walls, or on opposite two side walls, so that the two pairs of electrode plates 20 are evenly distributed 360 degrees.

[0042] Furthermore, when there are two or more pairs of electrode plates 20, the trajectory of ions in the electrolytic cell 30 may also be linear. For example, when there are three pairs of electrode plates 20, and the installation positions of the three pairs of electrode plates 20 are evenly distributed across 360 degrees, a certain ion in the electrolytic cell 30 may be far from a certain electrode plate 20, so that the ion can only be subjected to the force of two pairs of electrode plates 20. In this case, the trajectory of the ion will be a straight line or a curve. Therefore, along the direction from the geometric center of the three pairs of electrode plates 20 to the peripheral wall of the electrolytic cell 30, the trajectory of the ion changes from a perfect circle to an ellipse, and the farther away from the geometric center, the shorter the minor axis of the ellipse becomes, until the ion is no longer subjected to the force of the third pair of electrode plates 20, at which point the trajectory of the ion becomes a straight line or a curve.

[0043] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves corresponding to the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are increased sequentially according to a preset step size, which is determined according to the number of electrode plates 20.

[0044] Specifically, the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves corresponding to the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 increase sequentially according to a preset step size. To ensure that the voltage difference between each pair of electrode plates 20 is maximized at the same moment within one cycle of the sinusoidal voltage, the initial phase of the voltage control curve corresponding to each electrode plate 20 needs to be evenly divided into 360 degrees. Therefore, the phase difference between the initial phases of two adjacent voltage control curves needs to be set according to the number of electrode plates 20; this phase difference is the preset step size. For example, if the number of electrode plates 20 is n, dividing 360 by n yields the preset step size. Then, the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves are set according to the preset step size, so that the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves increase sequentially according to the preset step size, causing the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves to change from 0 degrees to 360 degrees.

[0045] For example, when there are 3 pairs of electrode plates 20, dividing 360 by 3 yields a preset step size of 120 degrees. Therefore, the initial phases of the three pairs of electrode plates 20 are 0 degrees, 120 degrees, and 240 degrees, respectively. Thus, the waveforms of the three voltage control curves are as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 5 V1, V2, and V3 are the voltage control curves corresponding to the three electrode plates 20. Alternatively, when there are 4 pairs of electrode plates 20, a preset step size of 90 degrees can be obtained, so the initial phases of the four pairs of electrode plates 20 are 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees, respectively.

[0046] In this way, by having the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves corresponding to the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 increase sequentially according to a preset step size, and the initial phases of the multiple voltage control curves are evenly divided into 360 degrees, it is ensured that the voltage difference of each pair of electrode plates 20 at the same moment is the largest, so as to ensure that the total force acting on the ions at each moment is the largest, thereby facilitating the movement of ions in the electrolytic cell 30.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the electrolysis control method further includes:

[0048] Step 012: Detect the ion concentration at the location of electrode plate 20;

[0049] Step 011: Control the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to work alternately in electrolysis mode and motion mode, including:

[0050] Step 0111: When the ion concentration is greater than the preset concentration, control the multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 to work alternately in electrolysis mode and motion mode.

[0051] Specifically, multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 can be controlled to alternate between electrolysis mode and motion mode based on the ion concentration at the location of the electrode plate 20. First, a preset concentration is set according to the strength of the reverse electric field corresponding to the ion concentration at the location of the electrode plate 20. When the ion concentration is greater than the preset concentration, the strength of the reverse electric field is greater, which has a stronger weakening effect on the electric field between the cathode 21 and the anode 22. Moreover, after the electrolysis products are generated, they will also accumulate near the electrode plate 20, making it difficult for the ions generated by the electrolyte to approach the electrode plate 20 and complete electrolysis, thus having a certain impact on the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode plate 20. Then, the ion concentration at the location of electrode plate 20 is monitored in real time. When electrode plate 20 is in electrolysis mode and the detected ion concentration is greater than the preset concentration, the electrolysis mode of electrolysis plate 20 is deactivated. Multiple pairs of electrode plates 20 are then controlled to operate in motion mode according to several different voltage control curves. This disperses the ions accumulated at the location of electrode plate 20, reduces the strength of the reverse electric field, and ensures that when electrolysis mode is subsequently activated again, the electric field strength between cathode 21 and anode 22 is sufficient to attract ions generated by the electrolyte to approach electrode plate 20. Furthermore, there is sufficient space near electrode plate 20 for the ions generated by the electrolyte to remain and complete electrolysis. Thus, by controlling the alternating operation of electrode plate 20 in electrolysis mode and motion mode according to the ion concentration at the location of electrode plate 20, the ion concentration at the location of electrode plate 20 can be maintained within a suitable range, thereby ensuring the electrolysis efficiency of electrode plate 20.
