Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrolysis equipment technology, and specifically provides an electrolysis device and a washing device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electrolysis units employ a structure where two electrolytic plates clamp a flexible diaphragm to simplify the assembly process. The initial intention of this design was to achieve a tight bond between the electrolytic plates and the diaphragm through physical clamping, reducing assembly steps and improving production efficiency, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring rapid deployment or large-scale production. However, this design has revealed significant limitations in practical applications, especially its impact on electrolysis efficiency, which cannot be ignored.

[0003] During electrolysis, the contact area between the electrolytic plate and water (or electrolyte) directly determines the rate and efficiency of the electrolytic reaction. Theoretically, a larger contact area means more active sites available for the electrolytic reaction, thus accelerating the generation of hydrogen and oxygen. However, when two electrolytic plates are used to clamp a flexible diaphragm, the diaphragm's flexibility makes it easily compressed by the plates, resulting in localized depressions or deformation. This physical deformation directly reduces the effective contact area between the electrolytic plate and water, preventing parts of the plate surface from fully participating in the electrolytic reaction.

[0004] In summary, existing electrolysis devices have low electrolysis efficiency.

[0005] Accordingly, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problem of low electrolysis efficiency of existing electrolysis devices.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an electrolysis apparatus, the electrolysis apparatus comprising a first electrolysis plate and a second electrolysis plate, wherein a first partition member is disposed between the first electrolysis plate and the second electrolysis plate, and a plurality of first protrusions are disposed on the first partition member, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of first protrusions are located on the side of the first partition member closer to the first electrolysis plate, thereby forming a gap between the first partition member and the first electrolysis plate.

[0008] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, another portion of the plurality of first protrusions is located on the side of the first partition member closer to the second electrolysis plate, so that a gap is formed between the first partition member and the second electrolysis plate.

[0009] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, the first electrolysis plate is provided with a plurality of first water passage holes, the first water passage holes correspond to the first protrusion on the side of the first partition member near the first electrolysis plate, and the first protrusion can partially extend into the first water passage hole.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, the number of the first water passage holes is greater than the number of the first protrusions on the side of the first partition member closest to the first electrolysis plate.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, the second electrolysis plate is provided with a plurality of second water passage holes, and the plurality of second water passage holes correspond one-to-one with a plurality of first protrusions on the side of the first partition member near the second electrolysis plate, and the first protrusions can partially extend into the second water passage holes.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, the number of the second water passage holes is greater than the number of the first protrusions on the side of the first partition member closest to the second electrolysis plate.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, the first partition is a diamond sheet.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, the electrolysis device includes a first electrolysis chamber and an inlet and a first outlet connected to the first electrolysis chamber. An installation groove is formed in the first electrolysis chamber. The second electrolysis plate and the first partition are located in the installation groove. The first electrolysis plate covers the installation groove to fix the first partition and the second electrolysis plate.

[0015] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned electrolysis device, at least a portion of the periphery of the mounting tank is formed with a water-passing section.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a washing apparatus, the washing apparatus comprising the electrolysis device described in any of the above preferred embodiments.

[0017] When adopting the above technical solution, the electrolysis device of the present invention includes a first electrolytic plate and a second electrolytic plate, with a first partition member disposed between the first and second electrolytic plates. The first partition member has a plurality of first protrusions, at least a portion of which are located on the side of the first partition member closer to the first electrolytic plate, thus creating a gap between the first partition member and the first electrolytic plate. The present invention, through the arrangement of the plurality of first protrusions, adapts to situations where the first electrolytic plate, the first partition member, and the second electrolytic plate are tightly fitted together. Furthermore, because the first protrusions create a gap between the first partition member and the first electrolytic plate, water can enter through the gap and contact the first electrolytic plate, thereby increasing the electrolysis area of ​​the first electrolytic plate and improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, the present invention also uses a hard diamond sheet as the first partition, which does not react with acid or alkali media, is not prone to adsorption and scaling, reduces the number of cleaning and maintenance cycles, and improves durability.

[0021] Furthermore, the present invention facilitates the installation of the first electrolytic plate, the first partition, and the second electrolytic plate by providing an installation groove. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific applications.

[0034] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," etc., indicating directional or positional relationships, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] First refer to Figure 1 and 2 The electrolysis apparatus 4 of the present invention includes a first electrolytic plate 408 and a second electrolytic plate 410. A first partition 409 is disposed between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410. A plurality of first protrusions 4091 are provided on the first partition 409, at least a portion of which are located on the side of the first partition 409 closest to the first electrolytic plate 408, thereby forming a gap (not shown in the figure) between the first partition 409 and the first electrolytic plate 408. Figure 2 The first electrolytic plate 408, the first partition 409, and the second electrolytic plate 410 shown are arranged side by side from front to back. The first protrusion 4091 is located on the front side of the first partition 409. When installed in place, the first protrusion 4091 contacts the rear side of the first electrolytic plate 408, thereby creating a gap between the rear side of the first electrolytic plate 408 and the front side of the first partition 409.

[0037] The present invention, through the arrangement of multiple first protrusions 4091, not only adapts to the situation where the first electrolytic plate 408, the first partition 409, and the second electrolytic plate 410 are tightly fitted together, but also, because the first protrusions 4091 create a gap between the first partition 409 and the first electrolytic plate 408, water can enter through the gap and come into contact with the first electrolytic plate 408, thereby increasing the electrolysis area of ​​the first electrolytic plate 408 and thus improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0038] Continue reading Figure 2 The first electrolytic plate 408 is provided with a plurality of first water passage holes 4081. The first water passage holes 4081 correspond to the first protrusions 4091 on the side of the first partition member 409 closest to the first electrolytic plate 408. The first protrusions 4091 can partially extend into the first water passage holes 4081. The first protrusions 4091 are hemispherical, and their partial extension ensures the gap and improves the connection stability between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition member 409, preventing relative movement. During installation, they also serve a positioning function.

[0039] Furthermore, the number of first water passage holes 4081 is greater than the number of first protrusions 4091 on the side of the first partition 409 closest to the first electrolytic plate 408. Specifically, the number of first protrusions 4091 located on the front side of the first partition 409 is less than the number of first water passage holes 4081. Based on this, the additional number of first water passage holes 4081 can be used to allow water to flow into the gap between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition 409. This improves stability while ensuring that water can enter the gap.

[0040] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the number or arrangement of the first protrusions 4091 on the front side. Preferably, they are arranged in an array, but they can also be arranged irregularly, as long as the number of the first protrusions 4091 on the front side is less than the number of the first water passage holes 4081.

[0041] Preferably, the number of first water passage holes 4081 (not corresponding to the first water passage holes 4081) that are more numerous than the number of first protrusions 4091 on the front side are distributed in a dispersed or arrayed manner on the first electrolytic plate 408, thereby enabling water to enter the gap between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition member 409 evenly through the first water passage holes 4081.

[0042] See next. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Another portion of the plurality of first protrusions 4091 is located on the side of the first partition 409 near the second electrolytic plate 410, so that a gap is formed between the first partition 409 and the second electrolytic plate 410. Specifically, Figure 2 The first partition 409 in the middle is replaced with Figure 3 The first partition 409 shown here is at this time in Figure 2 In this design, a plurality of first protrusions 4091 are also provided on the rear side of the first partition member 409. When installed in place, the first protrusions 4091 on the rear side contact the second electrolytic plate 410, thereby creating a gap between the rear side of the first partition member 409 and the front side of the second electrolytic plate 410. Based on this, gaps are formed on both the front and rear sides of the first partition member 409, which increases the electrolytic area of ​​the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410.

[0043] The second electrolytic plate 410 is provided with a plurality of second water passage holes 4101. The plurality of second water passage holes 4101 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of first protrusions 4091 on the side of the first partition member 409 near the second electrolytic plate 410. The first protrusions 4091 can partially extend into the second water passage holes 4101. This can improve the connection stability between the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition member 409, prevent relative movement, and also play a positioning role during installation.

[0044] Furthermore, the number of second water passages 4101 is greater than the number of first protrusions 4091 on the side of the first partition 409 closest to the second electrolytic plate 410. Specifically, the number of first protrusions 4091 located behind the first partition 409 is less than the number of second water passages 4101. Therefore, the additional number of second water passages 4101 can be used for drainage, that is, to drain the electrolyzed water in the gap between the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409. This improves stability and ensures that the electrolyzed water in the gap can be drained.

[0045] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the number or arrangement of the first protrusions 4091 on the rear side. Preferably, they are arranged in an array, but they can also be arranged irregularly, as long as the number of the first protrusions 4091 on the rear side is less than the number of the second water passage holes 4101.

[0046] Preferably, the number of second water passage holes 4101 (which are not corresponding to the first protrusions 4091 on the rear side) that are more than the number of the first protrusions 4091 on the rear side are distributed in a dispersed or arrayed manner on the second electrolytic plate 410, so that water can be uniformly discharged from the gap between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition 409 through the second water passage holes 4101.

[0047] Furthermore, the first partition 409 is a diamond sheet. Diamond sheets do not react with acid or alkali media, are not prone to adsorption or scaling, reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, and improve durability. Diamond sheets can be made thin, with small pore size, high mechanical strength, and good dimensional stability, thereby achieving modularization and miniaturization.

[0048] Continue reading Figure 1 and 2 ,like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the electrolysis device 4 of the present invention includes a first housing 401 and a second housing 402. The first housing 401 and the second housing 402 are connected to form a first electrolysis chamber 407. A first electrolysis plate 408, a first partition 409, and a second electrolysis plate 410 are arranged in parallel in the first electrolysis chamber 407. A water inlet 405 is provided on the first housing 401, and a first water outlet 406 is provided on the second housing 402. A first mounting groove 428 is formed on the second housing 402. The first partition 409 and the second electrolysis plate 410 are located in the first mounting groove 428. The first electrolysis plate 408 covers the first mounting groove 428. The outer edge of the first mounting groove 428 is a first step portion 426. After the first electrolysis plate 408 is fixedly connected to the first step portion 426, it abuts against the first partition 409 to fix the second electrolysis plate 410 and the first partition 409.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the first partition 409 and the second electrolytic plate 410 are placed side by side in the first mounting groove 428 from front to back. When the second electrolytic plate 410 is fixed to the first step portion 426, the first partition 409 and the second electrolytic plate 410 are pressed backward, and the second electrolytic plate 410 and the rear inner wall of the second housing 402 abut against each other, thereby fixing the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409.

[0050] This invention places the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409 in the first mounting groove 428. Only the first electrolytic plate 408 needs to be fixed on the step portion to achieve complete fixation of the first electrolytic plate 408, the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409 without separate fixation, saving installation steps and making disassembly and assembly convenient. In addition, the setting of the first protrusion 4091 on the first partition 409 increases the electrolysis area, which means that it can ensure compact and convenient installation without sacrificing the electrolysis area.

[0051] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the number of the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are two second electrolytic plates 410 arranged side by side, and one first electrolytic plate 408. However, this is not a limitation. Those skilled in the art can set the specific number of the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410 according to the actual situation.

[0052] Furthermore, the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410 of the present invention have the same structure, both including a substrate and a boron-doped diamond film disposed on the substrate, that is, a boron-doped diamond film is coated on a conductive substrate. The substrate can be a metallic material or other conductive materials, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a first conductive component 412 and a second conductive component 414 are pre-embedded in the second housing 402. During the manufacturing of the second housing 402, the first conductive component 412 and the second conductive component 414 are pre-molded in the mold. The first conductive component 412 is connected to the first electrolytic plate 408, and the second conductive component 414 is connected to the second electrolytic plate 410. The first conductive component 412 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the second conductive component 414 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.

[0053] In other embodiments, the first conductive member 412 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, and the second conductive member 414 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply.

[0054] In other embodiments, one of the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410 comprises a substrate and a boron-doped diamond film disposed on the substrate. The electrolytic plate having the boron-doped diamond film can be connected to the positive terminal of a power supply.

[0055] The first conductive component 412 and the second conductive component 414 can be the same or different. They can be conductive sheets, conductive wires, or other conductive structures. Those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation.

[0056] Furthermore, the second conductive member 414 pre-embedded in the second housing 402 is located in the first mounting groove 428. When the second electrolytic plate 410 is placed in the first mounting groove 428, it can abut against the second conductive member 414. The second conductive member 414 extends into the second mounting groove 429, and its extended portion is embedded in the front inner wall of the second housing 402. This will not hinder the installation of the second electrolytic plate 410, and will also ensure a good connection between the second electrolytic plate 410 and the second conductive member 414. The pre-embedded first conductive member 412 is located on the front side of the first mounting groove 428 and abuts against the front side wall of the first step portion 426. Both the first conductive member 412 and the second conductive member 414 are partially located inside the second housing 402 and partially located outside the second housing 402.

[0057] Furthermore, Figure 2 The upper ends of the two second electrolytic plates 410 are fixed by the second fasteners 415. The second fasteners 415 pass through the two second electrolytic plates 410 and the first conductive member 412 and extend into the inner wall of the second housing 402. This not only improves the stability of the second electrolytic plates 410, but also improves the connection between the second electrolytic plates 410 and the second conductive member 414. The first fasteners 413 pass through the first electrolytic plate 408 and extend into the first step portion 426, fixing the lower part of the second electrolytic plate 410. Since the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition member 409 are located in the first mounting groove 428, the upper end is fixed by the second fasteners 415, and the lower end is restricted and fixed by the first electrolytic plate 408. This fixing method only requires two fastening screws, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0058] In other embodiments, the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409 are simply placed in the first mounting groove 428, and the upper and lower ends of the second housing 402 are provided with first step portions 426. The second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409 are fixed by fixing the two ends of the first electrolytic plate 408 to the two first step portions 426 with fastening screws.

[0059] The first partition 409 can completely separate the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410. Figure 2 The image is not shown; it is only for illustration of the parallel arrangement of the electrolytic plates and the fact that the first mounting groove 428 can accommodate the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition 409, that is, the circumferential edge of the first partition 409 abuts or is sealed to the circumferential inner wall of the first mounting groove 428.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second electrolytic plate 410 is provided with a stepped receiving groove, and the head of the front end of the fastening screw that fixes the second electrolytic plate 410 is located in the receiving groove so that the front end of the fastening screw is flush with the front side of the second electrolytic plate 410 so as not to hinder the fixing of the first partition 409.

[0061] Continue reading Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet 405 is provided in the middle of the first housing 401, and a first water outlet 406 is provided in the middle of the second housing 402. The center lines of the water inlet 405 and the first water outlet 406 are on the same horizontal plane and are perpendicular to the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410. Both the water inlet 405 and the first water outlet 406 are connected to the first electrolysis chamber 407. The first mounting groove 428 is located at the rear side inside the first electrolysis chamber 407. Water enters the first electrolysis chamber 407 from the water inlet 405, and then generates ozone and hydroxyl radicals through electrolysis by the first electrolytic plate 408 and the second electrolytic plate 410. The electrolyzed water flows out through the first water outlet 406 and enters the washing equipment to achieve the functions of disinfection, sterilization and odor removal.

[0062] Since there are no openings on the first partition 409, in order to allow water to flow through and ions to move during electrolysis, the present invention is configured such that at least a portion of the periphery of the first mounting groove 428 forms a water-passing section 4301. An embodiment of the first mounting groove is as follows... Figure 4 As shown, two opposing limiting members 430 are provided in the first electrolysis chamber 407. The area between the two limiting members 430, above the first step portion 426, and below the top wall of the second housing 402 is the area of ​​the first mounting groove 428. Figure 4 In the middle, the upper part of the limiting member 430 is connected to the top wall of the second housing 402, and the lower part of the limiting member 430 is connected to the first step portion 426. The water passage portion 4301 is a structure with multiple holes provided on the limiting member 430. When installed in place, the gap between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition member 409 can communicate with the water passage portion 4301, and the gap between the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition member 409 can communicate with the water passage portion 4301. The water passage portion 4301 is connected to the first electrolytic chamber 407, and the first electrolytic chamber 407 is connected to the first water outlet 406. Based on this connection, after water enters from the inlet 405, it can enter the gap between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition 409 through the first water passage 4081, or it can flow through the water passage 4301 through the gap between the first electrolytic plate 408 and the first partition 409 to the first electrolytic chamber 407 and then to the first outlet 406. The water in the first electrolytic chamber 407 can flow into the gap between the first partition 409 and the second electrolytic plate 410 through the water passage 4301, and then flow into the first outlet 406 through the second water passage 4101.

[0063] like Figure 5The limiting member 430 is neither connected to the top wall of the second housing 402 nor to the first step portion 426. The upper part of the limiting member 430 forms a water-passing portion 4301 with the top wall of the second housing 402, and the lower part of the limiting member 430 forms a water-passing portion 4301 with the first step portion 426.

[0064] regardless Figure 4 still Figure 5 The thickness of the limiting member 430 in the front-back direction (that is, the depth in the direction perpendicular to the inside and outside of the paper) is less than the thickness of the first step portion 426 in the front-back direction, so that after the first electrolytic plate 408 is fixed to the first step portion 426, it can press the first partition member 409 and the second electrolytic plate 410 backward. The limiting member 430 not only restricts the first partition member 409 to the left and right, but also prevents the first electrolytic plate 408 from excessively pressing the first partition member 409 and the second electrolytic plate 410 backward.

[0065] The area between the two limiting members 430, the first step portion 426, and the top wall of the second housing 402 is used to place the second electrolytic plate 410 and the first partition member 409, which are of matching size and shape. The circumferential dimension of the first electrolytic plate 408 is larger than that of the second electrolytic plate 410, so as to cover part or all of the area of ​​the two limiting members 430 and part or all of the area of ​​the first step portion 426.

[0066] In other embodiments, a plurality of holes are provided on the first partition 409 to facilitate the passage of water.

[0067] Continue reading Figure 2 In the electrolysis device 4 of the first preferred embodiment, the first housing 401 and the second housing 402 are fastened together by bolts. The first housing 401 is provided with a first threaded hole, and the second housing 402 is provided with a second threaded hole. The bolts pass through the first threaded hole and are fastened together with the second threaded hole. Of course, other connection methods are also possible, such as welding or ultrasonic connection. A first sealing element 416 is also provided between the first housing 401 and the second housing 402. The first sealing element 416 is a sealing ring, and the sealing ring is located inside the two bolts.

[0068] Furthermore, the inlet 405 extends outward to form a first pipe 403, and the first outlet 406 extends inward to form a second pipe 404; the axes of the first pipe 403 and the second pipe 404 coincide.

[0069] See next. Figure 6The electrolysis device 4 of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on the first preferred embodiment, further includes a third housing 431. The third housing 431 and the second housing 402 form a second electrolysis chamber 425. A second water outlet 417 is provided on the third housing 431. The second water outlet 417 extends outward to form a second pipe 404. The first water outlet 406, the second electrolysis chamber 425 and the second water outlet 417 are connected in sequence. A third electrolysis plate 418, a second partition 419 and a fourth electrolysis plate 420 are arranged in parallel in the second electrolysis chamber 425.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, the second partition 419 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420 are placed side by side in the second mounting groove 429 from front to back. When the third electrolytic plate 418 is fixed to the second step portion 427, the second partition 419 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420 are pressed backward. The fourth electrolytic plate 420 abuts against the rear inner wall of the third housing 431, thereby fixing the fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the second partition 419.

[0071] The present invention places the fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the second partition 419 in the second mounting groove 429. Only the third electrolytic plate 418 needs to be fixed on the step portion to achieve the complete fixation of the third electrolytic plate 418, the fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the second partition 419. There is no need to fix them separately, saving installation steps and making disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0072] The second partition 419 has the same structure as the first partition 409. The second partition 419 is provided with a second protrusion 4191 so that an electrolytic gap is formed between the third electrolytic plate 418 and the second partition 419, or an electrolytic gap is formed between the fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the second partition 419.

[0073] The third electrolytic plate 418 is provided with multiple third water passage holes 4181, and the fourth electrolytic plate 420 is provided with multiple fourth water passage holes 4201; the arrangement of the second protrusion 4191, the third water passage hole 4181 and the fourth water passage hole 4201 is the same as the arrangement of the first protrusion 4091, the first water passage hole 4081 and the second water passage hole 4101, and will not be described again here;

[0074] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the number of the third electrolytic plate 418 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are two fourth electrolytic plates 420 arranged side by side, and one third electrolytic plate 418. However, this is not a limitation. Those skilled in the art can set the specific number of the third electrolytic plate 418 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420 according to the actual situation.

[0075] Furthermore, the third electrolytic plate 418 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420 of the present invention have the same structure, both including a substrate and a boron-doped diamond film disposed on the substrate, that is, a boron-doped diamond film is coated on a conductive substrate. The substrate can be a metallic material or other conductive materials, such as... Figure 6 As shown, a third conductive component 421 and a fourth conductive component 423 are pre-embedded in the third housing 431. During the manufacturing of the third housing 431, the third conductive component 421 and the fourth conductive component 423 are pre-molded in the mold. The third conductive component 421 is connected to the third electrolytic plate 418, and the fourth conductive component 423 is connected to the fourth electrolytic plate 420. The third conductive component 421 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the fourth conductive component 423 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.

[0076] In other embodiments, the third conductive member 421 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply, and the fourth conductive member 423 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply.

[0077] In other embodiments, one of the third electrolytic plate 418 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420 comprises a substrate and a boron-doped diamond film disposed on the substrate. The electrolytic plate having the boron-doped diamond film can be connected to the positive terminal of a power supply.

[0078] The third conductive component 421 and the fourth conductive component 423 may be the same or different. They may be conductive sheets, conductive wires, or other conductive structures. Those skilled in the art can set them according to the actual situation.

[0079] Furthermore, the fourth conductive member 423 pre-embedded in the third housing 431 is located in the second mounting groove 429. When the fourth electrolytic plate 420 is placed in the second mounting groove 429, it can abut against the fourth conductive member 423. The fourth conductive member 423 extends into the second mounting groove 429, and its extended part is embedded in the rear inner wall of the third housing 431. This will not hinder the installation of the fourth electrolytic plate 420, and can also ensure a good connection between the fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the fourth conductive member 423. The pre-embedded third conductive member 421 is located on the front side of the second mounting groove 429 and abuts against the front side wall of the second step portion 427. Both the third conductive member 421 and the fourth conductive member 423 are partially located inside the third housing 431 and partially located outside the third housing 431.

[0080] Furthermore, Figure 7The upper ends of the two fourth electrolytic plates 420 are fixed by the fourth fastener 424. The fourth fastener 424 passes through the two fourth electrolytic plates 420 and the fourth conductive member 423 and extends into the inner wall of the third housing 431. This not only improves the stability of the fourth electrolytic plates 420, but also improves the tightness of the connection between the fourth electrolytic plates 420 and the fourth conductive member 423. The third fastener 422 passes through the third electrolytic plate 418 and extends into the second step portion 427, fixing the lower part of the third electrolytic plate 418. Since the fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the second partition member 419 are located in the second mounting groove 429, the upper end is fixed by the fourth fastener 424, and the lower end is restricted and fixed by the fourth electrolytic plate 420. This fixing method only requires two fastening screws, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0081] In other embodiments, the fourth electrolytic plate and the second partition 419 are simply placed in the second mounting groove 429, and the upper and lower ends of the third housing 431 are provided with second step portions 427. The fourth electrolytic plate 420 and the second partition 419 are fixed by fixing the two ends of the third electrolytic plate 418 to the two second step portions 427 with fastening screws.

[0082] The second partition 419 can completely isolate the third electrolytic plate 418 and the fourth electrolytic plate 420. Figure 3 The image is not shown, but is only used to illustrate the parallel relationship of the electrolytic plates and the relationship that the second mounting groove 429 can accommodate the third electrolytic plate 418 and the second partition 419, that is, the circumferential edge of the second partition 419 abuts or is sealed to the circumferential inner wall of the second mounting groove 429.

[0083] In some embodiments, the fourth electrolytic plate 420 is provided with a stepped receiving groove, and the head of the front end of the fastening screw or fastening bolt that fixes the fourth electrolytic plate 420 is located in the receiving groove so that the front end of the fastening screw is flush with the left side of the fourth electrolytic plate 420 so as not to hinder the fixing of the second partition 419.

[0084] It should be noted that the fasteners mentioned above can be either fastening screws or fastening bolts.

[0085] Referring again to section 6, the third housing 431 is fastened to the outer wall of the second housing 402, which has the first outlet 406, to form the second electrolysis chamber 425. The communication relationship between the second electrolysis chamber 425 and the second mounting groove 429, as well as the formation method of the second mounting groove 429, are the same as those in the electrolysis device 4 of the first preferred embodiment, and will not be described again here. The second housing 402 and the third housing 431 can be connected by screws or bolts, or by other connection methods. A second sealing element is provided between the second housing 402 and the third housing 431. The second sealing element is a sealing ring, which further improves the sealing performance.

[0086] Preferably, the first protrusion 4091 and the first partition 409 are both made of diamond and are integrally formed; the second protrusion 4191 and the partition 419 are both made of diamond and are integrally formed, but other hard materials may also be used.

[0087] In a second aspect, the present invention also claims a washing device comprising the electrolysis device 4 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0088] See Figure 7 ,like Figure 7 As shown, the washing equipment includes a housing 1 and a washing drum 7 installed inside the housing. The washing drum 7 includes an outer drum 71 and an inner drum 72 fitted inside the outer drum 71. The water inlet pipe 3, electrolysis device 4, treatment agent box 5, dispensing pipe 6, and outer drum 71 are connected in sequence. A water inlet valve 2 is installed on the water inlet pipe 3 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet. By using electrolyzed water to enter the treatment agent box 5, the cleaning and disinfection effect of the treatment agent in the treatment agent box 5 can be enhanced. Moreover, the gas generated during electrolysis also enters the treatment agent with the water flow. The bubbles can increase the contact area between the detergent and the stains, making the cleaning more effective.

[0089] The treatment agent can be detergent, fabric softener, etc., and the washing equipment can be a front-loading washing machine, a top-loading washing machine, a washer-dryer combo, or other types of washing equipment. Those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual situation.

[0090] In some other embodiments of the washing equipment, there is a first water inlet pipe and a second water inlet pipe, both of which are connected to the outer drum 71. A treatment agent box 5 is provided on the first water inlet pipe 3, and the above-mentioned electrolysis device 4 is provided on the second water inlet pipe 3. That is, electrolyzed water and treatment agent enter the washing drum 7 through different pipes.

[0091] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
