Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water purification structures, and particularly to an intelligent water purification component. Background Art

[0002] As an indispensable electrical appliance in modern family and collective life, the main function of a washing machine is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and clean clothes through the operation of internal mechanical components; according to its designed capacity, washing machines are clearly divided into two categories: household type and collective use type, to meet the user groups of different scales and needs; household washing machines are usually designed to handle a smaller amount of clothes and are suitable for personal or small families; while collective use washing machines have a larger washing capacity and are suitable for public places such as schools, hotels or laundries, etc., to meet the cleaning needs of a large number of clothes.

[0003] In the daily operation of a washing machine, users usually directly connect the water inlet pipe to the faucet of a family or public facility, and realize an automated water supply process through the built-in automatic control system of the washing machine; this design greatly simplifies user operation and improves the laundry efficiency; however, the existing washing machine water only passes through a simple filtering device to remove large particulate impurities in the water body to ensure the smoothness of the internal water path of the washing machine and protect precision components from damage.

[0004] Although the filtering structure ensures the smoothness of the laundry process to a certain extent, its effect on removing microbial contamination in the water body, especially tiny pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, is limited; in actual situations, if the water source itself contains a high concentration of harmful microorganisms, these microorganisms may enter the washing machine along with the water flow and attach to the clothes during the washing process; wearing clothes washed with water containing bacteria for a long time may not only affect the hygiene of the clothes, but also pose a potential threat to human health, especially for people with sensitive skin, infants and young children, and people with a weak immune system.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes an installation frame installed at the upper end of the cylinder body, a double-shaft motor is installed on the installation frame, the upper end of the rotating pipe penetrates through the inner top of the cylinder body, pulley wheels are installed on the lower output shaft of the double-shaft motor and the rotating pipe respectively, and the two pulley wheels are connected by a transmission belt.

[0009] Preferably, the gas supply mechanism includes an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder body, a piston cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical part of the L-shaped plate, a piston block that can slide left and right is arranged inside the piston cylinder, the upper output shaft of the double-shaft motor is fixedly connected to a rotating disk, an eccentric part at the upper end of the rotating disk is rotatably connected to a connecting bar, and the other end of the connecting bar is rotatably connected to one side of the piston block away from the vertical part of the L-shaped plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inside of the piston cylinder is communicated with a first one-way pipe and a second one-way pipe, the other end of the second one-way pipe is communicated with the upper end of the rotating pipe through a rotary joint, the rotating pipe is a pipe body with a sealed lower end, the lower end of the rotating pipe extends into the columnar groove, stirring nets are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower end of the rotating pipe, hollow plates are fixedly connected to the front and back sides of the lower part of the rotating pipe, the two hollow plates are communicated with the inside of the rotating pipe, and a plurality of air holes are opened on the front and back sides of the two hollow plates.

[0011] Preferably, an installation cover is fixedly connected to the rear side of the washing machine main body, a through hole is opened on the installation cover, and the other end of the first one-way pipe penetrates through the through hole and extends to the outside.

[0012] Preferably, one-way valves are installed inside the first one-way pipe and the second one-way pipe respectively, the flow direction of the one-way valve inside the first one-way pipe is from the outside to enter the piston cylinder unidirectionally, and the flow direction of the one-way valve inside the second one-way pipe is from the piston cylinder to enter the rotating pipe unidirectionally.

[0013] Preferably, an indicator light is installed on the front side of the washing machine body. The indicator light is a white light lamp and is electrically connected to the UVA lamp and the UVC lamp. The indicator light is used to determine whether the UVA lamp and the UVC lamp are in a normal working state.

[0014] Preferably, an indicator light is installed on the front side of the washing machine body. The indicator light is a white light lamp and is electrically connected to the UVA lamp and the UVC lamp. The indicator light is used to determine whether the UVA lamp and the UVC lamp are in a normal working state.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. After the UVC lamp is started, it directly sterilizes the water body. After the UVA lamp is started, its light penetrates the water body and irradiates the photocatalytic layer. When the photocatalytic layer is irradiated by ultraviolet light or visible light, hydroxyl radicals and other reactive oxygen species are formed on the surface. These species can sterilize the bacteria in the water body. Since the water body uniformly contacts the photocatalytic layer, the overall sterilization effect is relatively uniform.

[0017] 2. When the water body flows to the columnar groove, it converges and impacts here, which makes the distribution of reactive oxygen species in the water body more uniform, thereby improving the sterilization effect.

[0018] 3. The rotation of the rotating tube will also drive the stirring net and the hollow plate part to rotate. The rotation of the stirring net further stirs and disperses the passing water body, enhancing the uniformity of sterilization.

[0019] 4. The rotation of the rotating tube will also cause the UVA lamp and the UVC lamp to rotate, ensuring that they can uniformly irradiate the photocatalytic layer, further improving the uniformity of actual sterilization.

[0020] 5. The rotation of the biaxial motor can generate a unidirectional gas flow from the outside, the piston cylinder, the rotating tube to the hollow plate, and finally the gas is uniformly discharged from multiple air holes. The discharged air flow not only impacts the falling liquid, improving the overall sterilization uniformity, but also increases the air pressure inside the cylinder. The increased air pressure accelerates the subsequent flow of the water body, enabling the sterilized water body to quickly impact the clothes, enhancing the permeability, and thus improving the cleaning effect.

[0021] 6. The increase in the gas pressure inside the cylinder also increases the dissolved oxygen content of the water body in the environment. More dissolved oxygen can promote the generation of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide anions, thereby enhancing the effect of oxidatively degrading pollutants.

[0022] 7. The rotation of the rotating tube drives the connection ring to rotate through a one-way bearing, and the connection ring then makes the scraper rotate through an L-shaped connecting rod. After the rotating tube stops rotating, due to inertia, the scraper continues to rotate relative to the rotating tube, moves relative to the light-transmitting lamp cover, and scrapes off the dust and impurities that may adhere to it, ensuring the subsequent disinfection effect.

[0023] In summary, during the actual use of this water purification component, it can effectively and evenly disinfect the water body, thereby effectively reducing the bacterial content in the water body and improving the cleanliness of the washed clothes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Refer toFigures 1 - 7 , an intelligent water purification component, comprising a washing machine body 1, a rectangular groove 5 is opened on the rear side of the washing machine body 1, and a mounting cover 3 is installed at the groove opening of the rectangular groove 5;

[0034] As an embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a water purification mechanism, which includes a water inlet pipe 17 installed on the left side wall of the cylinder 6, a connecting column 18 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the cylinder 6, a truncated cone groove 19 is provided at the upper end of the connecting column 18, the truncated cone groove 19 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a columnar groove 20 is provided at the inner bottom of the truncated cone groove 19, a drain port 21 is provided inside the columnar groove 20, a rotating tube 16 is rotatably connected to the inner top of the cylinder 6, a translucent lampshade is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating tube 16, a UVA lamp 23 and a UVC lamp 24 are installed on the inner side of the translucent lampshade, the UVA lamp 23 is a blue light lamp, and the spectrum of the UVA lamp 23 contains a small amount of UVA band ultraviolet rays, with a wavelength range of Between 320-400nm, the UVC lamp 24 is a deep purple lamp, a photocatalytic layer 22 is provided on the inner wall of the truncated cone groove 19, and a drain port 21 is provided at the inner bottom of the columnar groove 20. The photocatalytic layer 22 is a special material, usually containing titanium dioxide (TiO2) or other substances with photocatalytic activity. When these materials are exposed to light of a specific wavelength (such as UVA light), they can excite electrons to transition from the valence band to the conduction band, thereby generating electron-hole pairs on the surface of the material. These generated electrons and holes can react with water molecules or oxygen adsorbed on the surface of the photocatalyst to form free radicals with strong oxidizing properties, such as hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anions (O2·-). These free radicals have extremely high chemical activity and can decompose organic pollutants, bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances;

[0035] As an embodiment of the present invention, a rotating mechanism is further included, and the rotating mechanism is used to rotate the rotating tube 16. The rotating mechanism includes a mounting frame 11 installed at the upper end of the cylinder 6, and a dual-axis motor 12 is installed on the mounting frame 11. The upper end of the rotating tube 16 passes through the inner top of the cylinder 6, and the lower end output shaft of the dual-axis motor 12 and the rotating tube 16 are both installed with pulleys 13, and the two pulleys 13 are connected by a transmission belt 14.

[0036] As an implementation manner of the present invention, it further includes a gas supply mechanism, which is used to improve the water purification effect and uniformity. The gas supply mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 7 fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder body 6. One side of the vertical portion of the L-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected with a piston cylinder 8. A piston block 25 that can slide left and right is arranged in the piston cylinder 8. The upper output shaft of the double-shaft motor 12 is fixedly connected with a rotating disk 27. An eccentric position at the upper end of the rotating disk 27 is rotatably connected with a connecting bar 26. The other end of the connecting bar 26 is rotatably connected with the side of the piston block 25 away from the vertical portion of the L-shaped plate 7. The inside of the piston cylinder 8 communicates with a first one-way pipe 9 and a second one-way pipe 10. The other end of the second one-way pipe 10 is communicated with the upper end of the rotating pipe 16 through a rotary joint 15. The rotating pipe 16 is a pipe body with a sealed lower end. The lower end of the rotating pipe 16 extends into the columnar groove 20. Stirring nets 34 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the lower end of the rotating pipe 16. Hollow plates 32 are fixedly connected to both the front and back sides of the lower end portion of the rotating pipe 16. Both hollow plates 32 communicate with the inside of the rotating pipe 16. A plurality of air holes 33 are opened on both the front and back sides of the two hollow plates 32. Check valves are installed inside both the first one-way pipe 9 and the second one-way pipe 10. The flow direction of the check valve inside the first one-way pipe 9 is from the outside to enter the piston cylinder 8 unidirectionally, and the flow direction of the check valve inside the second one-way pipe 10 is from the piston cylinder 8 to enter the rotating pipe 16 unidirectionally;

[0037] As an implementation manner of the present invention, an installation cover 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the washing machine main body 1. A through hole 4 is opened on the installation cover 3. The other end of the first one-way pipe 9 penetrates through the through hole 4 and extends to the outside;

[0038] As an implementation manner of the present invention, an indicator light 2 is installed on the front side of the washing machine main body 1. The indicator light 2 is a white light lamp. The indicator light 2 is electrically connected to the UVA lamp 23 and the UVC lamp 24. The indicator light 2 is used to judge whether the UVA lamp 23 and the UVC lamp 24 are in a normal working state. Further, water quality detection sensors are arranged at both the water inlet pipe 17 and the drain outlet 21. When it is detected that the content of bacteria and viruses in the water body at the water inlet pipe 17 is relatively high, the UVA lamp 23 and the UVC lamp 24 will be controlled to start by the controller (and at the same time the double-shaft motor 12 will also start). At this time, the water quality detection sensor at the drain outlet 21 will also start. When it detects that the water quality at the drain outlet 21 does not meet the standard, it will control the indicator light 2 to flash. In the normal state, when the UVA lamp 23 and the UVC lamp 24 start, the indicator light 2 is in a normally open state. By using this, intelligent control can be realized;

[0039] As an implementation manner of the present invention, a connecting ring 28 is arranged on the outer side of the rotating pipe 16. The connecting ring 28 is connected to the rotating pipe 16 through a one-way bearing 29. L-shaped connecting rods 30 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting ring 28. Scrapers 31 are fixedly connected to the vertical portions of the two L-shaped connecting rods 30.

[0040] In the present invention, during actual use, the water inlet pipe 17 is connected to the water inlet part of the washing machine, and the drain outlet 21 is connected to the part of the washing machine's water circuit for injecting water into the washing machine interior;

[0041] When the washing machine starts, water enters the cylinder 6 through the water inlet pipe 17. As the water in the cylinder 6 continues to be injected, the height of the water inside the cylinder 6 continuously increases. When the height of the water is higher than the height of the connecting column 18, it will flow downward along the inner wall of the frustum-shaped groove 19. During this process, the water will form a water film and completely cover the inner wall of the frustum-shaped groove 19, and finally gather at the columnar groove 20 and then drain out from the drain outlet 21;

[0042] During the above process, when the bacteria content in the incoming water is relatively high, both the UVA lamp 23 and the UVC lamp 24 are started, and at the same time, the biaxial motor 12 is also started. After the UVC lamp 24 is started, it will directly sterilize the water. After the UVA lamp 23 is started, after passing through the water, it will irradiate the photocatalytic layer 22. When the photocatalytic layer 22 is irradiated by ultraviolet light or visible light, electron-hole pairs will be generated on the surface. These electrons and holes react with water or dissolved oxygen to form hydroxyl radicals and other reactive oxygen species, which sterilize the bacteria in the water. Since the water uniformly contacts the photocatalytic layer 22, the overall sterilization effect is relatively uniform. In addition, when the water flows to the columnar groove 20, it will converge here. After the water gathers here and impacts, the reactive oxygen species in the water can be more evenly distributed, and the sterilization effect is improved. In addition, the rotation of the rotating pipe 16 will also cause partial rotation of the stirring net 34 and the hollow plate 32. The rotation of the stirring net 34 will further stir and disperse the passing water, further improving the uniformity of sterilization;

[0043] It should be noted that the rotation of the rotating pipe 16 will also cause the UVA lamp 23 and the UVC lamp 24 to rotate, so that they evenly irradiate the photocatalytic layer 22, further improving the actual sterilization uniformity;

[0044] It should be noted that the rotation of the biaxial motor 12 will also cause the rotating disk 27 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 27 will use the connecting bar 26 to make the piston block 25 reciprocate left and right. With the use of the first one-way pipe 9, the second one-way pipe 10 and the internal one-way valve, a one-way gas flow of the outside, the piston cylinder 8, the rotating pipe 16 and the hollow plate 32 can be generated. The gas will finally be evenly discharged from a plurality of air holes 33. The discharged gas will also impact the falling liquid, improving the overall sterilization uniformity and increasing the air pressure inside the overall cylinder 6 (only the outer part of the connecting column 18 and the bottom part of the columnar groove 20 have water in the cylinder 6). The increased air pressure allows the subsequent flow of the water body to accelerate, enabling the sterilized water body to quickly impact the clothes, with stronger permeability, which can improve the cleaning effect to a certain extent. Moreover, the increase in the gas pressure inside the entire cylinder 6 can increase the dissolved oxygen content of the overall water body in this environment. In this way, more dissolved oxygen can increase the possibility of generating reactive oxygen species such as superoxide anions, thereby enhancing the effect of oxidatively degrading pollutants;

[0045] The rotation of the rotating pipe 16 will also cause the connecting ring 28 to rotate through the one-way bearing 29. The rotation of the connecting ring 28 will use the L-shaped connecting rod 30 to make the scraper 31 rotate accordingly. When the subsequent rotating pipe 16 stops rotating, under the action of inertia, a part of the scraper 31 will rotate relative to the rotating pipe 16, thereby causing relative movement between the scraper 31 and the light-transmitting cover, scraping off the dust and impurities that may adhere to it, and ensuring the subsequent disinfection effect.

[0046] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
