BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying creative labor.

[0018] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of an ion mist generator according to an embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, it is an ion mist generator of a preferred embodiment of the utility model, comprising a housing 100, a fluid generating member 200 and an electrolytic assembly, wherein the housing 100 has an electrolytic chamber 109, the electrolytic assembly is arranged in the electrolytic chamber 109, the electrolytic assembly comprises a first electrode 310 and a second electrode 330 stacked in sequence, and the electrolytic assembly is provided with a through hole 309 passing through. The fluid generating member 200 is used to generate a fluid with humidity to flow into the through hole 309.

[0021] That is to say, the fluid generating element 200 is used to generate a fluid with humidity and transport it into the electrolysis chamber 109. The fluid with humidity enters the electrolysis chamber 109 and flows to the electrolysis assembly, and then passes through the through hole 309 that runs through the electrolysis assembly. The electrolysis assembly electrolyzes the fluid with humidity flowing through it, and recombines the fluid molecules to convert them into ionic states, such as oxygen atoms, hydroxyl radicals, etc. The oxidizing ions are highly oxidizing and have a strong oxidizing and sterilizing effect. It should be understood that the housing also has an outlet 101 connected to the electrolysis chamber 109. The converted ion mist is discharged to the outside through the outlet 101 to disinfect the object / environment.

[0022] It should be understood that penetrating the electrolytic assembly means penetrating each stacked structure contained in the electrolytic assembly. For example, the electrolytic combination includes a first electrode 310 and a second electrode 330, and the first electrode 310 and the second electrode 330 both have the through hole 309. For example, in one embodiment, the electrode stack also includes an electrolyte membrane 320, and the electrolyte membrane 320 is arranged between the first electrode 310 and the second electrode 330. The first electrode 310, the electrolyte membrane 320 and the second electrode 330 all have the through hole 309, so that the fluid with humidity can pass through the electrolytic assembly to be electrolyzed and flow forward.

[0023] More specifically, in one embodiment, for example, the electrolyte membrane 320 is a proton exchange membrane (PEM), which functions to provide a hydrogen ion channel, that is, H generated at the anode. + Migrate to the cathode through the proton exchange membrane, thereby increasing the reaction rate and the product formation rate.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0025] 1. Compared with traditional electrolytic water generators, the fluid with humidity can flow quickly through the electrolytic assembly. Under the same conditions, the total water flow can be greatly increased, resulting in higher conversion rate and efficiency;

[0026] 2. The water mist has low flow resistance, which improves the flow capacity of the generator.

[0027] 3. By passing water mist, the scaling rate on the back of the electrode (i.e. the negative electrode) connected to the external negative electrode can be slowed down, the electrode life can be increased, and the overall service life can be increased.

[0028] In order to provide a humidified fluid to the electrolytic assembly, for example, a flow channel 401 is formed in the electrolysis chamber 109, and the flow channel 401 is used to guide the fluid generated by the fluid generating component 200 to the through hole 309. For example, the ion mist generator also includes a flow guide 400, and the flow guide is formed with a flow channel 401. The first end of the flow channel 401 is connected to the fluid generating component 200, and the second end is toward the through hole 309, so that the flow channel 401 can quickly guide the humidified fluid generated by the fluid generating component 200 to the electrolytic assembly, enter the through hole 309, and be electrolyzed by the electrolytic assembly, so as to make the fluid transportation more efficient and improve the electrolysis conversion efficiency.

[0029] It should be understood that, in the present application, the direction in which the electrolytic assembly is arranged is not limited. For example, the flow direction of the main channel (i.e., the flow direction of the fluid) is perpendicular to the electrolytic assembly, i.e., the electrolytic assembly is perpendicular to the main channel direction or the inlet direction of the shell, and for another example, the flow direction of the main channel (i.e., the flow direction of the fluid) is parallel to the electrolytic assembly.

[0030] It should be understood that, in the present application, the plate sizes and shapes of the first electrode and the second electrode can be set according to actual needs.

[0031] In order to generate a humidified fluid, in one embodiment, the fluid generating element 200 includes a water supply component and an ultrasonic atomizer. The water supply component supplies water and converts the water into water mist through the ultrasonic atomizer. The water mist is the humidified fluid.

[0032] In order to generate a humidified fluid, in another embodiment, the fluid generating element 200 is an air pump or a jet nozzle, which can provide water or air with higher humidity to the air pump or the jet nozzle, and spray the water into water mist or spray the air with higher humidity into the electrolysis chamber 109 through the air pump or the jet nozzle, and the fluid is transported to the electrolysis assembly.

[0033] That is to say, the humidified fluid can be water mist converted from water, or humidified air or other materials. The electrolytic assembly electrolyzes the water molecules in the fluid to generate ions with oxidative sterilization properties and then exports them to the outside for disinfection operations.

[0034] In one embodiment, a condensation groove 303 is formed between the first electrode 310 and / or the second electrode 330 and the electrolyte membrane 320. For example, the fluid (i.e., ion mist) electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly may circulate in the electrolysis chamber 109. In this embodiment, the condensation groove 303 is provided between the first electrode 310 and / or the second electrode 330 and the electrolyte membrane 320 to guide the circulating ion mist so that the ion mist enters therein, and because the ion mist main flow channel 401 formed at the through hole 309 forms a negative pressure under the high-speed fluid flow, the ion mist in the condensation groove 303 is brought into the main flow channel 401 (i.e., the through hole 309) by the suction force generated by the negative pressure and taken out, and the ion mist circulating in the condensation groove 303 stays in the electrolysis assembly for a long time, and the electrolysis time is long, which can increase the ion concentration in the ion mist and make the disinfection effect better.

[0035] For example, in one embodiment, the width of the condensation groove 303 is 0-3 mm, so that the first electrode 310 and / or the second electrode 330 form the condensation groove 303 with the membrane, and the spacing distance is not enough to make the electrolysis voltage too high. In addition, since the membrane is an impregnated body, it can be set to have no gap.

[0036] In one embodiment, a cooling sheet 390 is further included, and the cooling sheet 390 is stacked on the side of the first electrode 310 facing away from the second electrode 330. The cooling sheet 390 functions to condense the fluid passing through the first electrode 310. For example, when the humidity of the fluid is low, specifically, the fluid is air fluid, and the air is relatively dry (such as humidity below 80%), the structure of the utility model can also be applied, and the cooling sheet 390 is arranged on the side of the first electrode 310 and in close contact with it, so that the fluid flowing through the first electrode 310 is condensed into water vapor by the cooling sheet 390, so that the applicable environment / scenario is wider and the conversion efficiency is improved.

[0037] In one embodiment, the electrode material of the first electrode 310 and / or the second electrode 330 is one of conductive silicon, conductive diamond, or a single substance or oxide of titanium, platinum, lead, tantalum, iridium, palladium. In one embodiment, the first electrode 310 is a cathode, and the material of the first electrode 310 can be platinum, stainless steel, titanium and the like. The second electrode 330 is an anode, and the material of the second electrode 330 can be conductive silicon, conductive diamond, or a single substance or oxide of titanium, platinum, lead, tantalum, iridium, palladium, or other conductive materials. In one embodiment, the electrode material of the first electrode 310 and the second electrode 330 is conductive silicon, conductive diamond, or a single substance or oxide of titanium, platinum, lead, tantalum, iridium, palladium, antimony, and the electrode conversion between the first electrode 310 and the second electrode 330 can be achieved by converting the current.

[0038] It should be understood that in order to make the electrolytic assembly undergo an electrolytic reaction, for example, the first electrode 310 and the second electrode 330 are connected to an external power supply voltage, for example, the first electrode 310 is connected to the positive pole of the external power supply, and the second electrode 330 is connected to the negative pole of the external power supply.

[0039] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
