Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliances, and more specifically, to a microbubble electrode structure. Background Technology

[0002] Micro- and nano-bubbles generate enormous energy during their rupture process. This energy can disrupt the chemical bonds within pollutants, resulting in a sterilization and disinfection effect. They are used in fields such as fruit and vegetable cleaning, skin care, and river sewage treatment.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for generating micro and nano bubbles: physical methods (dissolved gas release method - micro and nano bubbles are air) and chemical methods (electrolysis of water - micro and nano bubbles are hydrogen). Among them, physical methods are more widely used in industry, but the systems are relatively complex and the structures are relatively large.

[0004] The method of generating micro-nano bubbles through water electrolysis has a relatively simple structure: active species are generated at the anode, and hydrogen micro-nano bubbles are generated at the cathode. However, existing electrode structures are basically relatively arranged plate electrodes, resulting in low utilization of the anode and cathode and low electrolysis efficiency.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to propose a microbubble electrode structure to solve the problem that existing electrode structures are basically plate electrodes arranged opposite each other, resulting in low utilization of the anode and cathode and low electrolysis efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0008] A microbubble electrode structure is disclosed for generating microbubbles through water electrolysis. The microbubble electrode structure includes an anode and a cathode, one of which is a first electrode, and the other of which is a second electrode. An insulating structure is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the second electrode is wound around the first electrode through the insulating structure.

[0009] The microbubble electrode structure described in this invention involves a second electrode wrapped around a first electrode via an insulating structure, thereby completely encapsulating the first electrode within the second electrode. This improves the utilization rate and electrolysis efficiency of both the anode and cathode, while also generating more micro- and nano-bubbles at the cathode, resulting in a cleaning effect through physical agitation. Furthermore, it generates more active species such as hydroxyl radicals at the anode, achieving bactericidal and bleaching effects.

[0010] Furthermore, the first electrode is configured as a rod or strip, and the second electrode is configured as a wire.

[0011] Furthermore, the insulating structure is vertically or horizontally disposed on the outer side of the first electrode, and the second electrode is wrapped around the outside of the insulating structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the second electrode winding is θ1, and θ1 satisfies: 0 < θ1 < 90°.

[0013] Furthermore, a crossing interval is formed between two adjacent insulating structures, which is used for electron crossing between the anode and cathode.

[0014] Furthermore, a through-hole is provided on the insulating structure for electrons to pass between the anode and cathode.

[0015] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on the first electrode, and an insulating structure is installed in the mounting groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the mounting groove is spirally disposed on the first electrode, and the inclination angle of the mounting groove is θ2, wherein θ2 satisfies: 0 < θ2 < 90°.

[0017] Furthermore, the second electrode is wound around the insulating structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the width of the mounting groove is b1, where b1 satisfies 1≤b1≤3mm; the distance between two adjacent mounting grooves is d2, where d2 satisfies 0.5≤d2≤2mm.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the microbubble electrode structure of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] The microbubble electrode structure described in this invention involves a second electrode wrapped around a first electrode via an insulating structure, so that the first electrode is completely enclosed within the second electrode. This structure offers several advantages: first, it improves the utilization rate and electrolysis efficiency of the anode and cathode; second, it generates more micro- and nano-bubbles at the cathode, resulting in a cleaning effect through physical agitation; and third, it generates more active species such as hydroxyl radicals at the anode, achieving sterilization and bleaching effects.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] This invention proposes a microbubble electrode structure for generating microbubbles through water electrolysis, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the microbubble electrode structure includes an anode and a cathode. One of the anode and cathode is a first electrode 1, and the other of the anode and cathode is a second electrode 2. An insulating structure 3 is provided between the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2, and the second electrode 2 is wound around the first electrode 1 through the insulating structure 3.

[0030] The present invention discloses a microbubble electrode structure in which the second electrode 2 is wrapped around the first electrode 1 by an insulating structure 3, so that the first electrode 1 is completely enclosed in the second electrode 2. First, it improves the utilization rate and electrolysis efficiency of the anode and cathode. Second, it enables the cathode to generate more micro-nano bubbles, which produce a cleaning effect through physical agitation. Third, it enables the anode to generate more active species such as hydroxyl radicals, which have a bactericidal and bleaching effect.

[0031] Specifically, the number of the insulating structures 3 is not limited.

[0032] The insulating structure 3 can be configured as two, four, ten, etc.

[0033] The form of the insulation structure 3 is not limited.

[0034] The insulating structure 3 can be configured as a rod, a long rod, or a sheet.

[0035] Specifically, the first electrode 1 is configured as a rod or strip, and the second electrode 2 is configured as a wire.

[0036] Specifically, the insulating structure 3 is vertically or horizontally disposed on the outer side of the first electrode 1, and the second electrode 2 is wrapped around the outside of the insulating structure 3.

[0037] More specifically, the insulating structure 3 is uniformly disposed on the outer side of the first electrode 1, and the second electrode 2 is uniformly wrapped around the outer side of the insulating structure 3.

[0038] Specifically, the tilt angle of the second electrode 2 when it is wound is θ1, and θ1 satisfies: 0 < θ1 < 90°.

[0039] Specifically, the distance between two adjacent second electrodes 2 is d1, where d1 satisfies 1≤d1≤3mm.

[0040] When the distance d1 between two adjacent second electrodes 2 is within the above range, the microbubble electrode structure generates a large number of small bubbles during water electrolysis, resulting in the best sterilization effect.

[0041] Specifically, a crossing interval 4 is formed between two adjacent insulating structures 3, and the crossing interval 4 is used for electron crossing between the anode and cathode.

[0042] Specifically, the width of the crossing interval 4 is b2, where b2 satisfies 1≤b2≤2mm.

[0043] Specifically, an installation groove is provided on the first electrode 1, and an insulating structure 3 is installed in the installation groove.

[0044] Specifically, the mounting groove is spirally disposed on the first electrode 1, and the inclination angle of the mounting groove is θ2, wherein θ2 satisfies: 0 < θ2 < 90°.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second electrode 2 is wound around the insulating structure 3.

[0046] Specifically, a through hole is provided on the insulating structure 3, which is used for electrons to pass between the anode and cathode.

[0047] Specifically, the width of the mounting groove is b1, where b1 satisfies 1≤b1≤3mm; the distance between two adjacent mounting grooves is d2, where d2 satisfies 0.5≤d2≤2mm.

[0048] When the spacing d2 between two adjacent mounting slots is within the above range, the microbubble electrode structure generates a large number of small bubbles during water electrolysis, resulting in the best sterilization effect.

[0049] The microbubble electrode structure includes not only the cathode, anode, and insulating structure 3, but also other related components. Since the specific structure and assembly relationship of these related components are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The present invention discloses a microbubble electrode structure, which is capable of electrolyzing water to generate micro-nano bubbles, wherein the micro-nano bubbles generated by the electrolysis of water by the microbubble electrode structure are hydrogen gas.

[0051] The microbubble electrode structure described in this invention has a second electrode 2 wound around a first electrode 1, so that the first electrode 1 is completely enclosed in the second electrode 2. First, it improves the utilization rate and electrolysis efficiency of the anode and cathode. Second, it enables the cathode to generate more micro-nano bubbles, which produce a cleaning effect through physical agitation. Third, it enables the anode to generate more active species such as hydroxyl radicals, which have a bactericidal and bleaching effect.

[0058] Specifically, the distance between two adjacent second electrodes 2 is d1, where d1 = 1 mm.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, a crossing interval 4 is formed between two adjacent insulating structures 3, and the crossing interval 4 is used for electron crossing between the anode and cathode.

[0060] Specifically, the width of the crossing section 4 is b2, where b2 = 2mm.

[0067] Example 4

[0068] In this embodiment, unlike in Embodiment 1, the cathode is a first electrode 1, and the anode is a second electrode 2, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the first electrode 1 is configured as a strip. Four insulating structures 3 are provided; the insulating structure 3 can also be configured as a sheet.

[0069] Specifically, the insulating structure 3 is horizontally disposed on the outer side of the first electrode 1.

[0072] Specifically, the mounting groove is spirally disposed on the first electrode 1, and the inclination angle of the mounting groove is θ2, where θ2 = 25°.

[0073] More specifically, the insulating structure 3 is wound and installed inside the mounting groove along the inclined angle of the mounting groove.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second electrode 2 is wound around the insulating structure 3.

[0081] Performance testing

[0082] The electrode structures prepared in Examples 1-7 were used to electrolyze water to generate micro-nano bubbles. The size of the micro-nano bubbles was measured, and the sterilization effect was calculated. The bubble size and sterilization effect are shown in Table 1.

[0083] Table 1

[0084] bubble size Sterilization effect (%) Example 1 300nm-600μm 91 Example 2 200nm-500μm 95 Example 3 50nm-200μm 99.99 Example 4 50nm-200μm 99.99 Example 5 50nm-200μm 99.99 Example 6 100nm-400μm 97 Example 7 200nm-700μm 90

[0085] As can be seen from Table 1, in the microbubble electrode structures prepared in Examples 1 to 7, the second electrode 2 is wound around the first electrode 1, so that the first electrode 1 is completely wrapped in the second electrode 2, which causes the cathode to generate more micro-nano bubbles, producing a cleaning effect through physical stirring; and causes the anode to generate more active species such as hydroxyl radicals, which have a bactericidal and bleaching effect. The bactericidal effect is excellent, all above 91%.

[0086] In Examples 3, 4, and 5, the more bubbles there are and the smaller the bubble size, the better the sterilization effect.
