The electrolytic component is connected to the water inlet end of the clothing processing device. When working, water flows into the accommodating chamber of the electrolytic component through the pipeline of the clothing processing device. After the electrolytic device is connected to the power supply, it can generate an electrolytic reaction with the water flow in the accommodating chamber under the action of the electric current to generate hydroxide ions.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] As people's living standards continue to improve, they are paying more and more attention to the quality of life and health. Various washing machine-related laundry processing devices have emerged, such as pulsator washing machines, drum washing machines, and dryers. Among them, the use of drum washing machines continues to grow, and consumers have higher and higher requirements for the sterilization and color protection of washing machines. In response to these problems, most of the current washing machines are equipped with sterilization devices. Users can run the sterilization device to clean and sterilize the clothes in the washing machine drum. However, the current sterilization devices usually use high-speed water flow and high-temperature boiling to treat stains, and the sterilization effect is very general.

[0050] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 An electrolytic assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0051] According to the utility model, the electrolysis assembly 1 includes a shell 11, an electrolysis device 12 and a surrounding plate 13. A accommodating chamber 111 open to the outside is formed in the shell 11. A water inlet 112 and a connecting port 113 connected to the accommodating chamber 111 are provided on the shell 11. The electrolysis device 12 is accommodated in the accommodating chamber 111 and is suitable for electrolyzing water in the accommodating chamber 111. The height of the water outlet is higher than the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111.

[0052] According to the utility model, the electrolytic component 1 is provided with a shell 11, and a housing chamber 111 is formed in the shell 11. The housing chamber 111 can be equipped with an electrolytic device 12. The shell 11 is provided with a water inlet 112 and a water outlet connected to the housing chamber 111. The water inlet 112 can be connected to a water source. When working, water can enter the housing chamber 111 through the water inlet 112. At this time, the electrolytic device 12 can electrolyze the water in the housing chamber 111. Hydroxyl ions will be generated after the water flow reacts with the electrolytic device 12. The electrolyzed water with hydroxide ions can flow to a predetermined position through the water outlet and contact the laundry to be washed so as to sterilize the laundry. Compared with the method of high-speed water flow flushing and high-temperature boiling in the related art, the electrolytic component 1 uses electrolyzed water with hydroxide ions to sterilize the laundry.

[0053] In addition, it should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, the height of the water outlet is higher than the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111. The bottom wall 1111 here can be understood as the bottom of the accommodating chamber 111 in the height direction. When the water flows into the accommodating chamber 111, the height design of the water outlet avoids the water flowing out directly from the water outlet, and can ensure that the water flow can stay in the accommodating chamber 111 to fully react with the electrolysis device 12, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 1, and can produce more hydroxide ions, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the electrolysis component 1.

[0054] In this embodiment, the design of the water outlet height being higher than the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity 111 can be achieved by setting the water outlet on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 111 or providing a structure to raise the water outlet.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the enclosure 13 is disposed on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity 111 and defines a drainage channel communicating with the outside, and a water outlet communicating with the drainage channel is formed on the top of the enclosure 13 .

[0056] A panel 13 is also provided on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111. The panel 13 is arranged around to form a drainage channel connected to the outside. A water outlet is formed on the top of the panel 13. The water in the accommodating chamber 111 can enter the drainage channel through the water outlet and then flow to the outside. The panel 13 can impose certain restrictions on the flow of water, preventing the water entering the accommodating chamber 111 from directly flowing out to the outside. It can also be understood that when the water level in the accommodating chamber 111 is lower than the height of the panel 13, the water cannot flow out from the water outlet. The arrangement of the panel 13 can ensure that the water entering the accommodating chamber 111 first undergoes an electrolysis reaction with the electrolysis device 12 and then flows out through the water outlet, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency and water quality of the electrolysis component 1. At the same time, the panel 13 can also prevent the bubbles generated during the electrolysis process from being directly discharged through the water outlet, further improving the water outlet effect.

[0057] In addition, after the electrolytic component 1 is assembled to the clothing processing device 2, when the clothing processing device 2 is opened, the door of the clothing processing device 2 will generate a certain suction force on the clothing processing device 2. At this time, the enclosure 13 can block the residual water in the accommodating chamber 111, thereby preventing the residual water in the accommodating chamber 111 from being spilled due to the suction force and thus affecting the user experience.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating cavity 111 is formed with a sink 114 and a connecting port 113 communicating with the outside is formed on the bottom wall of the sink 114 , the enclosure 13 is arranged around the sink 114 , and the drainage channel is connected to the connecting port 113 .

[0059] It should be noted that the bottom wall of the sink 114 is not the same as the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111. Figure 2 The bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111 is shown in FIG.

[0060] The connecting port 113 and the enclosure 13 are structures that affect the outflow of electrolyzed water from the accommodating chamber 111. Specifically, a trough 114 is provided on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111, and the connecting port 113 can be provided in the trough 114. The connecting port 113 is connected to the drainage channel, and the water entering the drainage channel can flow out of the electrolysis component 1 through the connecting port 113. Since the connecting port 113 is located in the trough 114, the water flow will accumulate and mix in the trough 114 before flowing out. The design of the trough 114 can more effectively guide the water flow, ensure the uniformity and stability of the electrolyzed water when it flows out, and thus ensure the sterilization and cleaning effect of the electrolysis component 1. The enclosure 13 is arranged around the trough 114 to prevent the water flow from directly impacting the connecting port 113, and to prevent the water entering the accommodating chamber 111 from flowing out through the connecting port 113 without undergoing an electrolysis reaction with the electrolysis device 12. The arrangement of the enclosure 13 can improve the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 12 in electrolyzing the water in the accommodating chamber 111. At the same time, if the water pressure at the water inlet 112 is too high, the enclosure 13 can also prevent the connecting port 113 from being damaged by excessive water flow or water pressure, which helps to extend the service life of the electrolytic component 1 and maintain the stability of the connecting port 113.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the communication opening 113 is formed on the bottom wall of the sink 114 and at least one side wall of the sink 114 .

[0062] Since the electrolyzed water flows out through the connecting port 113, the structure of the connecting port 113 will affect the flow of electrolyzed water out of the electrolysis assembly 1. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the connecting port 113 can be arranged at the position where the bottom wall of the trough 114 and the side wall of the trough 114 are connected, that is, at least part of the connecting port 113 is formed on the bottom wall of the trough 114 and one side wall of the trough 114 respectively. The construction method of the connecting port 113 makes the connecting port 113 three-dimensional, rather than the traditional opening on the plane. The three-dimensional connecting port 113 can increase the diameter of the connecting port 113 and increase the water output. At the same time, the three-dimensional connecting port 113 changes the shape of the connecting port 113, which can destroy the tension of the water and facilitate the outflow of the electrolyzed water. When the electrolyzed water flows out of the connecting port 113, the three-dimensional connecting port 113 is conducive to the diffusion of the hydroxide ions in the electrolyzed water and the full mixing with the water, thereby improving the sterilization and cleaning effect of the electrolytic component 1.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall of the sink 114 or the side wall of the sink 114 is formed with a communication port 113. The communication port 113 may also be only provided on the side wall of the sink 114 or the bottom wall of the sink 114, and the specific processing position may be selected according to actual needs.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the water inlet 112 is provided on the side wall of the shell 11 and is located at the end of the side wall of the shell 11 close to the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111. The position of the water inlet 112 will also affect the process of electrolyzing water in the electrolysis component 1. Specifically, the electrolysis component 1 is provided with the water inlet 112 on the side wall of the shell 11, and the water inlet 112 is located at the position of the side wall close to the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111. It can be understood that the water inlet 112 is located at the bottom of the side wall. Setting the water inlet 112 at the end of the side wall close to the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111 can ensure that the water flow flows directly to the bottom after entering the accommodating chamber 111. At this time, the water level in the accommodating chamber 111 can rise evenly, which helps to achieve uniform distribution of water flow around the electrolysis device 12, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 12.

[0065] At the same time, when water flows in from the water inlet 112 near the bottom, since the water needs to overcome gravity and air resistance to rise, the initial impact force of the water on the electrolysis device 12 is relatively small, which can effectively reduce the direct impact of the water on the electrolysis device 12, thereby protecting the electrolysis device 12 and extending the service life of the electrolysis device 12.

[0066] In addition, the water inlet 112 is arranged on the side wall near the bottom wall 1111, which can maximize the use of the space of the accommodating cavity 111, making the layout of the electrolytic component 1 more compact, reducing the volume of the electrolytic component 1, and facilitating the integration of the electrolytic component 1 on the clothing processing device 2.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the height of the enclosure 13 is higher than the height of the water inlet 112. Since the height of the enclosure 13 is higher than the water inlet 112, the water flow will be guided by the enclosure 13 after entering the accommodating chamber 111, forming a specific flow path, which helps to ensure that the water flow can be evenly distributed throughout the electrolysis process, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency. At the same time, when water enters the accommodating chamber 111 from the water inlet 112, the presence of the enclosure 13 can prevent the water flow from directly impacting the connecting port 113, which can prevent the water flow from not reacting with the electrolysis device 12 or the electrolysis reaction is incomplete when it flows out, and can improve the electrolysis effect of the electrolysis component 1.

[0068] In addition, the height design of the enclosure 13 can also enhance the structural strength of the electrolytic assembly 1. The enclosure 13 can resist external pressure and impact to a certain extent, and protect the internal electrolytic device 12 and other key components.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the electrolysis device 12 includes a first plate 121 and a second plate 122, and the first plate 121 is formed with a first connection terminal 1211 suitable for connecting to one of the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply; the second plate 122 is spaced apart from the first plate 121 and is formed with a second connection terminal 1221 suitable for connecting to the other of the negative and positive electrodes of the power supply; wherein the height of the first connection terminal 1211 is different from the height of the second connection terminal 1221.

[0070] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the electrolysis device 12 is provided with a first plate 121 and a second plate 122 spaced from each other, wherein the first plate 121 can be connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and the second plate 122 can be connected to the negative pole of the power supply. Specifically, a first connection terminal 1211 is provided on the first plate 121, and a second connection terminal 1221 is provided on the second plate 122. The provision of the first connection terminal 1211 and the second connection terminal 1221 facilitates the connection and assembly of the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 with the power supply, respectively, and can improve the assembly efficiency. When the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 are respectively connected to the ripple source and energized, the electrolysis device 12 is in a working state. At this time, the water in the accommodating chamber 111 can undergo an electrolysis reaction on the first plate 121 and produce hydroxide ions. The electrolyzed water mixed with hydroxide ions can flow out through the connecting port 113 for sterilization and cleaning of the laundry. Hydroxyl ions have good sterilization and anti-coloring functions, and can effectively clean the laundry.

[0071] In addition, the first connection terminal 1211 and the second connection terminal 1221 have different heights. By designing the height difference between the first connection terminal 1211 and the second connection terminal 1221, the electrolysis device 12 can have a certain fool-proof function, which can make it easier to distinguish the connection positions of the positive and negative electrodes, and improve the efficiency of connecting the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 to the power supply. At the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of misconnection, reduce the risk of misoperation, and improve the safety of the electrolysis device 12 when in use.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second plates 122 are constructed as a plurality of plates spaced apart from each other and connected in series, the first plate 121 is disposed between two adjacent second plates 122 , and a second connection end 1221 is disposed on one of the two second plates 122 .

[0073] like Figure 6As shown, the second plate 122 can be constructed as two plates spaced apart from each other, and the first plate 121 is arranged between the two second plates 122. The two second plates 122 are connected in series with each other, and the second connection end 1221 only needs to be set on one of the two second plates 122 connected in series. The two second plates 122 connected in series are connected to the power supply through the second connection end 1221 and cooperate with the first plate 121, so that the first plate 121 can produce an electrolysis reaction with water on both sides of the two second plates 122, thereby increasing the area where the electrolysis reaction occurs on the first plate 121 and improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 12.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the electrolysis device 12 also includes a connecting member 123 and an insulating member 124. The connecting member 123 passes through the second plate 122, the first plate 121 and another second plate 122 in sequence to connect two adjacent second plates 122 in series; the insulating member 124 is sleeved on the outer periphery of at least part of the connecting member 123 and is located between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 to avoid the connection between the connecting member 123 and the first plate 121.

[0075] The electrolysis device 12 passes through two adjacent second plates 122 in sequence through the connector 123, realizing the series connection of the second plates 122, thereby ensuring that the current can flow smoothly between the second plate 122 and the first plate 121, facilitating the current to produce ionization inside the water flow, thereby enabling the water flow to be electrolyzed after contacting the surface coating on both sides of the first plate 121. The insulating member 124 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connector 123 and is located between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122, playing an isolating role, which can prevent the current short circuit between the connector 123 and the first plate 121, and ensure the safety and stability of the electrolysis process.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of support ribs 115 spaced apart from each other are provided on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111, and the support ribs 115 are suitable for supporting the electrolysis device 12. The support ribs 115 can ensure that the electrolysis device 12 is stably placed in the accommodating chamber 111, and avoid displacement or tilting of the electrolysis device 12 due to vibration or other external factors. The stable assembly of the electrolysis device 12 can ensure the smooth progress of the electrolysis process. At the same time, due to the presence of the support ribs 115, a certain gap can be left between the electrolysis device 12 and the bottom of the accommodating chamber 111, which is conducive to the circulation and flow of water flow, and avoids the formation of a dead water zone under the electrolysis device 12. The dead water zone here can be simply understood as: if the electrolysis device 12 is directly placed on the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111, the electrolysis device 12 assembled in this way will cause the water flow at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 111 to be unable to flow, and the inability of water flow to flow will reduce the electrolysis efficiency. Therefore, the arrangement of the support ribs 115 optimizes the environment in which the electrolysis device 12 electrolyzes water, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0077] In addition, the support ribs 115 not only provide support for the electrolytic device 12, but also enhance the structural strength of the bottom of the accommodating chamber 111. During the use of the electrolytic assembly 1, the support ribs 115 can effectively share stress and prevent the bottom from deformation or damage.

[0078] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the electrolytic assembly 1 also includes an upper cover 14, which is arranged at the open mouth of the accommodating chamber 111 to close the accommodating chamber 111, and is provided with a first card slot 141 and a second card slot 142 recessed toward the bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111, and the first connection end 1211 and the second connection end 1221 extend into the card slots respectively.

[0079] The upper cover 14 closes the opening of the accommodating chamber 111, which can prevent the electrolyzed water from leaking, ensuring the safety and environmental friendliness of the electrolysis process. The closed structure also reduces the possibility of external impurities entering the accommodating chamber 111, ensuring the purity of the electrolysis environment, and is conducive to improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0080] The design of the first slot 141 and the second slot 142 enables the first connection end 1211 and the second connection end 1221 to be stably fixed to the corresponding connection structure on the power supply in the slot. It can be simply understood that when the first connection end 1211 and the second connection end 1221 need to be connected to the power supply, the corresponding connection structure on the power supply can extend into the first slot 141 and the second slot 142 to cooperate with the first connection end 1211 and the second connection end 1221. At the same time, the first slot 141 and the second slot 142 can respectively limit the corresponding connection structure of the power supply, ensuring the stability of the connection between the electrolysis component 1 and the power supply, preventing power outages due to loose connections during the electrolysis process, and improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis process.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a baffle 143 is provided on the upper cover 14, which is located between the first slot 141 and the second slot 142. The baffle 143 separates the first slot 141 from the second slot 142, preventing the user or maintenance personnel from accidentally contacting the live connection terminal during operation, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock and enhancing the safety of use. At the same time, the baffle 143, as a physical separation, can help the user or maintenance personnel to more accurately identify and distinguish the first slot 141 and the second slot 142, avoid possible misoperation when connecting the power supply, and improve the efficiency of the electrolytic component 1 when it is assembled and connected to the power supply. In addition, the baffle 143 can also prevent the first connection terminal 1211 and the second connection terminal 1221 from short-circuiting when connected to the power supply, thereby improving the safety of the electrolytic component 1.

[0082] According to one embodiment of the utility model, one of the shell 11 and the upper cover 14 is provided with a first sealing groove 116 arranged around the opening of the accommodating cavity 111, and the other of the shell 11 and the upper cover 14 is provided with a second sealing groove 144 arranged around the opening of the accommodating cavity 111 and corresponding to the first sealing groove 116.

[0083] The corresponding arrangement of the first sealing groove 116 and the second sealing groove 144, and a sealing member can be arranged between the first sealing groove 116 and the second sealing groove 144 to further improve the sealing effect, ensure that when the housing 11 and the upper cover 14 are closed, the contact surface between the two can fit tightly, thereby effectively preventing the leakage of electrolyzed water. This sealing structure helps to maintain the stability of the internal environment of the electrolysis component 1, avoid external factors from interfering with the electrolysis process, and improve the electrolysis efficiency and safety. At the same time, it can also prevent the leakage of electrolyzed water from affecting the final sterilization and cleaning effect, and improve the user experience of the electrolysis component 1.

[0084] In some embodiments, multiple installation points, such as fastener installation holes 202 or installation buckles 201, can be set on the shell 11 and the upper cover 14. When the electrolytic component 1 is assembled with the clothing processing device 2, multiple installation points such as fastener installation holes 202 or installation buckles 201 can be used to cooperate with corresponding structures on the clothing processing device 2 to ensure the stability of the assembly of the electrolytic component 1.

[0085] The following briefly describes the laundry processing device 2 according to the present invention.

[0086] According to the utility model, the clothing processing device 2 includes a box body 21 and the electrolytic component 1 in the above embodiment, wherein a clothing processing chamber 211 is formed in the box body 21, and the electrolytic component 1 is arranged on the box body 21. The electrolytic component 1 is connected to the water inlet end of the clothing processing device 2. When working, water flows into the accommodating chamber 111 of the electrolytic component 1 through the pipeline of the clothing processing device 2. After the electrolytic device 12 is connected to the power supply, it can react with the water in the accommodating chamber 111 under the action of the current to generate hydroxide ions. The electrolyzed water mixed with hydroxide ions flows into the clothing processing chamber 211 through the connecting port 113 of the electrolytic component 1 for sterilization and cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the clothing processing device 2.

[0087] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the electrolysis component 1 is provided with a water outlet pipe 117 connected to the clothing processing chamber 211. Since the electrolyzed water mixed with hydroxide ions in the electrolysis component 1 needs to flow into the clothing processing chamber 211, the motor component can be provided with a water outlet pipe 117 at the communication port 113, which extends obliquely toward the clothing processing chamber 211 and is connected to the clothing processing chamber 211. The water outlet pipe 117 can drain the electrolyzed water into the clothing processing chamber 211 to sterilize and clean the clothes to be washed.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clothing treatment device 2 further includes a first tube 221, one end of the first tube 221 is connected to the electrolysis device 12, and the other end of the first tube 221 is connected to the water source. The first tube 221 can be directly connected to the water source, so that the water flow directly enters the electrolysis component 1, reducing the time of sterilization and cleaning of the clothing treatment device 2.

[0089] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the clothing processing device 2 also includes a condenser 24, a second tube 222 and a control valve 23, wherein the condenser 24 is arranged in the casing 21, and a condensation chamber connected to the clothing processing chamber 211 is formed in the condenser 24; one end of the second tube 222 is connected to the condensation chamber; the control valve 23 is provided with a first valve port 231, a second valve port 232 and a third valve port 233, the first valve port 231 is connected to a water source, the second valve port 232 is connected to the other end of the first tube 221, and the third valve port 233 is connected to the other end of the second tube 222.

[0090] The condenser 24 can condense water through the second condensation tube 222 and the internal hot air to dry the clothes processing chamber 211. When the electrolytic component 1 stops working, the residual water in the electrolytic component 1 flows back to the first tube 221 through the water inlet 112 and enters the condensation chamber after passing through the control valve 23 and the second tube 222 in sequence, realizing secondary utilization and saving water resources.

[0091] The control valve 23 can be understood as a valve body that is connected to the water source and controls the flow of water in the clothing treatment device 2. Specifically, the control valve 23 is provided with a first valve port 231, a second valve port 232 and a third valve port 233, wherein the first valve port 231 is connected to the water source; the second valve port 232 is connected to the electrolysis component 1 through the first tube 221; the second valve port 232 is connected to the clothing treatment chamber 211 through the second tube 222. The control valve 23 can selectively control the opening and closing of the three valve ports according to actual needs so as to flexibly control the direction and flow of the water flow, so that the user can adjust the use of electrolyzed water or ordinary water as needed to meet different clothing treatment needs. For example, by adjusting the control valve 23, it can be ensured that when electrolyzed water is not needed, only ordinary water is used for clothing treatment, thereby reducing energy consumption and cost during the electrolysis process.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the clothes processing device 2 may be a wall-mounted washing machine, or a pulsator washing machine, etc.

[0093] In some embodiments, the electrolytic component 1 can also be applied to other machines with cleaning or care functions, such as dishwashers, care cabinets, etc.

[0094] In summary, the electrolysis component 1 is provided with a shell 11, and a receiving chamber 111 is formed in the shell 11. The control valve 23 on the clothing treatment device 2 can control the water to flow into the receiving chamber 111 after passing through the first tube 221. The electrolysis device 12 starts to work after being connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the power supply through the first connection end 1211 and the second connection end 1221 respectively. At this time, the water flow can be ionized on the surface of the first plate 121 to generate hydroxide ions, and the electrolyzed water mixed with hydroxide ions flows into the clothing treatment chamber 211 through the outlet pipe 117, which can sterilize and clean the laundry, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the clothing treatment device 2. In the above process, since the water flow enters the receiving chamber 111 through the water inlet 112, and the water inlet 112 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the shell 11, the water flow will not directly impact the first plate 121 and the second plate 122, and the safety of the electrolysis device 12 can be ensured. The bottom wall 1111 of the accommodating chamber 111 is provided with a sink 114, and a connecting port 113 communicating with the outside is provided in the sink 114. A surrounding plate 13 is arranged around the position of the sink 114, and the surrounding plate 13 defines a drainage channel, which is connected to the connecting port 113. At the same time, a water outlet connected to the drainage channel is formed at the free end of the surrounding plate 13. The electrolyzed water in the accommodating chamber 111 can enter the drainage channel through the water outlet and flow to the outside through the connecting port 113 connected to the drainage channel. The height of the surrounding plate 13 is higher than the height of the water inlet 112, which can prevent the water entering the accommodating chamber 111 from flowing out directly through the connecting port 113 without electrolyzing the electrolysis device 12, thereby ensuring the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 12. The housing 11 is also provided with a water outlet pipe 117 connected to the connecting port 113 and inclined toward the clothing processing chamber 211. The water outlet pipe 117 can guide the electrolyzed water to ensure that the electrolyzed water can enter the clothing processing chamber 211. The clothes treatment device 2 is provided with a control valve 23, which is connected to the first pipe 221 and the second pipe 222, and can control the flow rate and direction of water entering the clothes treatment device 2 according to real-time needs. The clothes treatment device 2 electrolyzes electrolyzed water mixed with hydroxide ions through the electrolysis component 1 for sterilizing and cleaning the clothes to be washed, thereby improving the sterilization and cleaning effect of the clothes treatment device 2, and further improving the user experience of the clothes treatment device 2.
