Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a dishwasher with enhanced sterilization effect. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher mainly includes a body forming a cleaning cavity, a panel, a water pump for spraying washing water, a rotating spray arm, a slag basket assembly, a drainage assembly, and a heater for generating hot water. Its sterilization effect is generally achieved through continuous high temperature.

[0003] Patent No. 2010101840465 discloses a kitchen ultrasonic ozone combined cleaning device and a cleaning method thereof, comprising an ultrasonic transducer connected to an ultrasonic generator arranged at the bottom of a cleaning tank, an ozone distributor connected to an ozone generator arranged on the side wall of the cleaning tank, and a drain arranged at the bottom of the cleaning tank. A nozzle is also arranged on the side wall of the cleaning tank above the ozone distributor. The nozzle is connected to the water inlet through a water inlet solenoid valve and sprays water at intervals controlled by the water inlet solenoid valve. Although the kitchen ultrasonic ozone combined cleaning device has a good oil cleaning and decontamination effect, the ozone generator in the device uses oxygen in the air to ionize to form a mixed gas containing ozone, which makes the structure of the ozone generator more complicated, and the generated ozone gas is difficult to dissolve in water to produce an effective sterilization effect, and is prone to escape. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies or problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a reliable dishwasher capable of enhancing the sterilization effect.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present disclosure to solve the above technical problems is: a dishwasher with enhanced sterilization effect, including a dishwasher body, a water inlet assembly and a controller, the water inlet assembly is connected to the dishwasher body, the water inlet assembly is control-connected to the controller, an active oxygen generator is arranged on the dishwasher body or the water inlet assembly, the active oxygen generator refers to a device that generates active oxygen by electrolyzing water, the active oxygen generator is control-connected to the controller, the active oxygen generator is connected to the dishwasher body or the active oxygen generator is connected to the water inlet assembly.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the dishwasher body includes an inner tank and a door frame, the door frame is hinged with a door body, and the water inlet assembly is connected to the inner tank.

[0007] In some embodiments, the active oxygen generator is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank, and the installation space is large, the power of the active oxygen generator can be greater, and it is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank and can be pumped to the spray arm by the circulation pump, which has a better effect.

Since there is always water in the water cup, the active oxygen generator can work continuously, so that the active oxygen has a higher concentration, thereby having a better sterilization effect; in addition, the water cup and the active oxygen generator can be made modular.

[0010] In some embodiments, a respirator is provided on the side wall of the inner tank, and an active oxygen generator is connected to the respirator. The active oxygen generator can work continuously during the process of water intake into the respirator, so that the water entering the inner tank contains active oxygen, which further sterilizes during the cleaning process.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the water inlet assembly includes a first water inlet and a flow meter, and the first water inlet is connected to the flow meter through a pipeline.

[0015] Compared with existing products, since an active oxygen generator is provided on the dishwasher body or the water inlet assembly, the active oxygen generator is connected to the dishwasher body or the active oxygen generator is connected to the water inlet assembly. When water passes through the active oxygen generator, the active oxygen generator will produce water dissolved with active oxygen molecules. The active oxygen molecules have unstable oxygen atoms and their electron orbits are incomplete. Therefore, they have strong oxidizing properties and can effectively kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. At the same time, they can also remove odors and harmful gases in the air. The water passing through enters the inner tank with the active oxygen to clean and sterilize the tableware. The ozone generated by the traditional ozone generator has a lower solubility in water, escapes more, and has a lower utilization rate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Specifically, the dishwasher body includes an inner tank 6 and a door frame, the door frame is hinged with a door body 5, and the water inlet assembly is connected to the inner tank 6. When water passes through the active oxygen generator 2, the active oxygen generator 2 will produce water containing active oxygen molecules, and the water will enter the dishwasher body together with the active oxygen. In this process, the active oxygen is also better dissolved in the water to clean and sterilize the tableware. The active oxygen molecules have unstable oxygen atoms and their electron orbits are incomplete, so they have strong oxidizing ability. The active oxygen molecules can contact with microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, destroy their cell membrane structures, and thus achieve a sterilization effect.

[0028] It should be noted that the active oxygen in the present disclosure refers to a substance containing oxygen and having active properties, which is generated by electrolysis when the active oxygen generator 2 meets water. The active oxygen generator 2 generates ozone (O 3 ), excited oxygen molecules or singlet oxygen molecules, superoxide anion free radicals (O 2- ), hydroxyl radical (·OH) and hydroperoxyl radical (·HO 2 ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), the specific substance produced depends on the coating of the electrode and the applied voltage. The anode of the active oxygen generator 2 can be a titanium-based lead dioxide electrode (Ti / PbO 2 ), titanium-based tin dioxide electrode (Ti / SnO 2 ), titanium-based ruthenium electrode, boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode, and the cathode can be an inert electrode such as graphite or titanium. 2 ) anode and titanium metal cathode, the active oxygen generator 2 generates ozone by electrolysis after encountering water. Specifically (taking ozone as an example), when current passes through water, water molecules will be ionized and decomposed into hydroxide ions, and the oxygen ions will move to the anode, combine with the hydrogen ions in the water molecules, and generate ozone through redox reactions. In addition, the content and purity of ozone can be regulated by controlling the potential difference and current density of the electrolyzed water. The active oxygen generator 2 is a layered electrode structure, and the positive and negative electrodes are on different planes, or the active oxygen generator 2 is a sheet electrode structure, and the positive and negative electrodes are on the same plane, or the active oxygen generator 2 is an arc electrode structure, and the positive and negative electrodes are not on the same plane.

The water containing chamber is a component for temporarily storing water, and a sufficient amount of water is collected in the water containing chamber, so that the active oxygen generator 2 can contact a large amount of water and produce enough ozone. The water cup 7 is connected to a circulation pump, and the circulation pump draws the water in the water containing chamber into the spray arm (including the top spray arm and the bottom spray arm), and the water is sprayed out by the spray arm to wash the dishes. The active oxygen generator 2 is arranged in the water containing chamber, and there is no need to occupy additional space of the dishwasher to enhance the sterilization effect.
