[0002] Hypochlorous acid generators are a newly developed device used in environmental cleaning, medical disinfection, and sterilization. Traditional hypochlorous acid generators have an internal water solenoid valve. When the device is turned off, the valve automatically shuts off the tap water, preventing the user from turning on the water outlet valve. Therefore, current hypochlorous acid generators on the market typically rely on electrical signals such as panel switches, infrared, or dedicated I / O interfaces to provide the device's activation trigger signal.

[0003] However, these reasons have led to some limitations in the installation and popularization of hypochlorous acid generators: the hypochlorous acid generators currently on the market cannot be connected to the more popular municipal tap water faucets on the market, so the hypochlorous acid generators need to be equipped with a dedicated control water outlet faucet, and the hypochlorous acid generators cannot be installed at a distance or under the kitchen, resulting in great limitations on the installation site and usage of the hypochlorous acid generators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary starting device for a hypochlorous acid generator, aiming to solve the problems existing in the background technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , an auxiliary starting device for a hypochlorous acid generator 6 is provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0021] A main flow pipe 13 is provided with a cutoff detection component 1, a hypochlorous acid generator 6 is provided on the main flow pipe 13, the main flow pipe 13 is fixedly connected to a faucet 3, and the main flow pipe 13 is connected to a tap water pipe;

[0022] A secondary circulation pipe 12, the water inlet and the water outlet of the secondary circulation pipe 12 are both connected to the main circulation pipe 13, and the secondary circulation pipe 12 is provided with a second interception detection component, the second interception detection component is electrically connected to the first interception detection component, and the second interception detection component is electrically connected to the hypochlorous acid generator 6.

[0023] In this embodiment, the interception detection component 2 is electrically connected to a power supply device 8, and a power supply voltage reduction protection module is provided in the power supply device 8. The power supply device 8 provides power to the interception detection component 2, and a battery or an external AC power supply can be used to protect the interception detection component 2 through the power supply voltage reduction protection module; a water tank 10 is provided under the faucet 3, and a drainage pipe 11 is provided on the water tank 10; when the faucet 3 is closed, the interception detection component 1 and the hypochlorous acid generator 6 are closed so that the main circulation pipe 13 is not connected, and the interception detection component 2 is opened so that the secondary circulation pipe 12 is connected. When the faucet 3 is turned on, the tap water flows into the secondary circulation pipe 12 through the main circulation pipe 13 and then flows into the main circulation pipe 13, and is discharged through the faucet 3. At the same time, the tap water flows through the interception detection component 2 on the secondary circulation pipe 12. After the interception detection component 2 detects the tap water flowing through signal, it closes so that the secondary circulation pipe 12 is not connected, and the interception detection component 2 opens the interception detection component 1 and the hypochlorous acid generator 6. The main flow pipe 13 is connected, and the tap water is discharged through the main flow pipe 13 and the faucet 3. Since the tap water flows through the interception detection component 1 and the hypochlorous acid generator 6, the interception detection component 1 detects the tap water flowing through the signal and transmits the signal to the interception detection component 2, ensuring that the interception detection component 1 and the hypochlorous acid generator 6 are in the open state. The hypochlorous acid generator 6 processes the tap water into hypochlorous acid water and then discharges it through the main flow pipe 13 and the faucet 3. When the faucet 3 is closed, the interception detection component 1 detects that the tap water is flowing through the signal and transmits the signal to the interception detection component 2, ensuring that the interception detection component 1 and the hypochlorous acid generator 6 are in the open state. The tap water does not flow through the signal and transmits the signal to the interception detection component 2. The interception detection component 2 closes the interception detection component 1 and the hypochlorous acid generator 6, and the main flow pipe 13 is disconnected. At the same time, the interception detection component 2 is opened, and the secondary flow pipe 12 is connected. When the hypochlorous acid generator 6 is started and stopped remotely, a stable and reliable trigger signal can be provided, thereby making the start-up and stop process of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 safer and more controllable. It has the advantages of good auxiliary start-up effect of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 and simple operation and installation.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the second shutoff detection component includes an electric valve 1, a flow sensor 2 and a control system 7. The electric valve 1 is arranged on the secondary circulation pipe 12, and the flow sensor 2 is arranged on the secondary circulation pipe 12. The flow sensor 2 is electrically connected to the control system 7, and the control system 7 is electrically connected to the electric valve 1, and the control system 7 is electrically connected to the shutoff detection component 1, and the control system 7 is electrically connected to the hypochlorous acid generator 6.

[0025] In this embodiment, the interception detection component 1 includes a flow sensor 14 and an electric valve 25. The flow sensor 14 is arranged on the main flow pipe 13, and the electric valve 25 is arranged on the main flow pipe 13. The electric valve 25 is electrically connected to the control system 7, and the control system 7 is electrically connected to the flow sensor 14. When the hypochlorous acid generator 6 is shut down, the electric valve 1 is opened, the secondary flow pipe 12 is connected, and the tap water finally flows into the ordinary faucet 3 through the flow sensor 22 and the electric valve 1. Since the faucet 3 is in a closed state, the faucet 3 does not discharge water at this time. When the faucet 3 is opened, the flow sensor 2 detects that the flow rate rises to an X value. After a delay of Y seconds, the flow sensor 2 automatically closes and cuts off the secondary flow pipe 12 by powering on the electric valve 1 through the control system 7. The control system 7 simultaneously outputs a control signal to start the hypochlorous acid generator 6 and the electric valve 25, and the main flow pipe 13 is connected. Tap water enters the internal waterway of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 through the flow sensor 14 and the electric valve 25, and is converted into hypochlorous acid water by the electrolysis principle. The water flows out of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 outlet and flows into the ordinary faucet 3 for disinfection by the user. When the faucet 3 is closed, the flow sensor 22 detects that the flow signal drops to the Z value, and the electric valve 1 is de-energized. The electric valve 1 is switched from the closed state to the open state. At the same time, the control system 7 simultaneously outputs a control signal to close the hypochlorous acid generator 6 and the electric valve 25, and the main flow pipe 13 is cut off. The tap water flows into the faucet 3 through the flow sensor 22 and the electric valve 1. Since the faucet 3 is in the closed state, no water flows out of the faucet 3 at this time. When the hypochlorous acid generator 6 is remotely started and stopped, a stable and reliable trigger signal can be provided, thereby making the start-up and stop process of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 safer and more controllable. The system has the advantages of good auxiliary start-up effect of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 and simple operation and installation.

[0026] Furthermore, the interception detection component 1 further includes a check valve 9, which is provided on the main flow pipe 13 and is provided at the water outlet of the hypochlorous acid generator 6. The check valve 9 is made of corrosion-resistant fluororubber material and is used to prevent the hypochlorous acid generator 6 from having tap water backflow to the water outlet of the hypochlorous acid generator 6 when the hypochlorous acid generator 6 is in standby mode, thereby causing pressure shock damage to the electrolysis device and other water path components therein.

[0027] Furthermore, the flow sensor 1 4 and the flow sensor 2 2 have a flow detection range of 0.1 L / min-20 L / min, and adopt the Hall electromagnetic flow sensing principle to detect the flow changes of the input tap water and the output flow of the external hypochlorous acid generator 6 and feed them back to the control system 7 to adjust and control the start and stop status of the hypochlorous acid generator 6;

[0028] Furthermore, the control system 7 adopts a single chip microcomputer or PLC control mode, and controls the start and stop status of the connected hypochlorous acid generator 6 by real-time monitoring of the internal flow signal of the starting device.
