[0027] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5As shown, a water electrolysis mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a control box 10 and a three-way pipe 20, a control valve 30 and a water electrolysis module 40 assembled in the control box 10. Specifically, the control box 10 is formed by a front cover 11 and a rear cover 12 covering each other. The three-way pipe 20 has an inlet 21, a first outlet 22 and a second outlet 23, that is, a three-way pipe 20 with one inlet and two outlets. The channel from the inlet 21 of the three-way pipe 20 to the first outlet 22 constitutes a first channel 201, and the channel from the inlet 21 of the three-way pipe 20 to the second outlet 23 constitutes a second channel 202. The first channel 201 and the second channel 202 share the inlet 21. The first channel 201 and the second channel 202 are both provided with the control valve 30 to control the on-off of the channel; specifically, the control valve 30 provided in the first channel 201 is defined as the first control valve 31, and the first control valve 31 controls the on-off of the first channel 201; the control valve 30 provided in the second channel 202 is defined as the second control valve 32, and the second control valve 32 controls the on-off of the second channel 202. The water inlet of the electrolytic water module 40 is connected to the first outlet 22 of the three-way pipe 20 to form an electrolytic water channel, and the second channel 202 constitutes a conventional water channel; specifically, the conventional water channel is a channel for non-electrolytic water to circulate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the electrolytic water module 40 is an existing structure, and an existing product can be directly used.

[0029] With such a configuration, the water electrolysis mechanism realizes the supply of electrolyzed water (i.e., ozone water) and conventional water through a simple configuration, the number of components integrated in the control box 10 is greatly reduced, and the assembly operation can be effectively accelerated and is less prone to errors; the cost is also greatly reduced.

[0030] Further, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate external piping, in this embodiment, the control box 10 is also equipped with a water outlet connector 50, and the water outlet of the electrolytic water module 40 is connected to the water outlet connector 50. The inlet 21 of the three-way pipe 20 extends out of the control box 10 as an external interface, and the second outlet 23 of the three-way pipe 20 extends out of the control box 10 as an external interface. In this way, when the external piping is connected, it is only necessary to connect the inlet 21 of the three-way pipe 20, the second outlet 23 of the three-way pipe 20 and the water outlet connector 50 respectively. Among them, the inlet 21 and the second outlet 23 of the three-way pipe 20 are directly used as external interfaces, further simplifying the structure.

[0031] Specifically, the inlet 21 and the second outlet 23 of the three-way pipe 20 are both provided with external threads, which are convenient for connection with external pipelines. The water outlet connector 50 is a quick connector, which can be quickly connected with external pipelines.

[0032] Furthermore, a check valve 60 is included, and the check valve 60 is arranged between the control valve 30 (i.e., the first control valve 31) of the first channel 201 and the water inlet of the electrolysis water module 40; in this way, the water electrolyzed by the electrolysis water module 40 (i.e., the electrolyzed water) can be effectively prevented from flowing back. Specifically, the check valve 60 is assembled in the first channel 201 of the three-way pipe 20, specifically, at the rear end of the first control valve 31, assembled in the three-way pipe 20, and does not occupy additional space.

[0033] Furthermore, a flow limiting ring 70 is included, and the flow limiting ring 70 is assembled in the first channel 201 of the three-way pipe 20. Similarly, like the check valve 60, the flow limiting ring 70 is also located at the rear end of the first control valve 31. The setting of the flow limiting ring 70 prevents high-pressure water flow from entering the water electrolysis module 40 and causing damage to the water electrolysis module 40.

[0034] Adding the check valve 60 and the flow limiting ring 70 can well ensure the timely output and service life of the water electrolysis mechanism. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of the check valve 60 and / or the flow limiting ring 70 may not be used.

[0035] The three-way pipe 20 has a first installation port 251 and a second installation port 252. The first channel 201 and the second channel 202 both include an inner channel and an outer channel located outside the inner channel. The inner channel (defined as the first inner channel 241) and the outer channel (defined as the first outer channel 242) of the first channel 201 are connected through the first installation port 251, and the inner channel (defined as the second inner channel 243) and the outer channel (defined as the second outer channel 244) of the second channel 202 are connected through the second installation port 252. The two control valves 30 are respectively mounted on the first installation port 251 and the second installation port 252, that is, the first control valve 31 is mounted on the first installation port 251, and the second control valve 32 is mounted on the second installation port 252, thereby respectively controlling the on-off of the first channel 201 and the second channel 202. Such a configuration has an ingenious structural design, a compact structure, and small space occupation.

[0036] The control valve 30 is a solenoid valve, that is, the first control valve 31 and the second control valve 32 are both solenoid valves. The control box 10 is also equipped with a control circuit board 13, and the control circuit board 13 is connected to the control valve 30 to control the operation of the control valve 30. Specifically, for the control method of the control circuit board 13, two sensors (such as a conventional water sensor and an electrolytic water sensor) can be installed on the water outlet faucet. When the conventional water sensor is triggered, the signal is transmitted to the control circuit board 13, and the control circuit board 13 controls the second control valve 32 to open the second channel 202. When the electrolytic water sensor is triggered, the signal is transmitted to the control circuit board 13, and the control circuit board 13 controls the first control valve 31. The first channel 201. Specifically, the connection relationship and working principle of the sensor, the control circuit board 13 (that is, the control box 10) and the control valve 30 are prior art, which has been mastered and implemented by technicians in this field, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] For further information, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the present embodiment further provides a water outlet faucet, comprising a faucet pipe 1 and an electrolytic water mechanism, wherein the faucet pipe 1 has a conventional water outlet 2 and an electrolytic water outlet 3, and the electrolytic water mechanism is the electrolytic water mechanism described above; the water outlet of the electrolytic water module 40 is connected to the electrolytic water outlet 3 of the faucet pipe 1 to realize the output of electrolytic water, and in the present embodiment, the electrolytic water outlet 3 of the faucet pipe 1 is connected to the water outlet joint 50; the outlet of the second channel 202 is connected to the conventional water outlet 2 of the faucet pipe 1, that is, the conventional water outlet 2 of the faucet pipe 1 is connected to the second outlet 23 of the three-way pipe 20 to realize the output of conventional water.
