Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a salt adding device which is suitable for a water electrolysis device and belongs to the technical field of equipment for electrolysis process of chemical metallurgy department. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, dishwashers have come into people's sight. However, the existing dishwashers have limited improvement in cleaning ability by changing the structure. Using electrolyzed water instead of dishwashing powder can improve the cleaning ability of dishwashers. The technical solutions in this regard have also been applied more in the prior art. Refer to the Chinese utility model patent application with application number 202011152787.5 "Dishwasher with electrolytic disinfection structure" (application publication number CN 112137545 A); you can also refer to the Chinese utility model patent application with application number 202210609548.0 "A control method for an electrolyzed water generating device for an integrated water tank" (application publication number CN 115341625 A).

[0003] Electrolyzers need electrolytes during electrolysis. Considering that sodium chloride will produce a small amount of chlorine gas during the electrolysis process, sodium carbonate is used as the electrolyte. There are two problems with sodium carbonate as an electrolyte. First, the solubility of sodium carbonate is very low. If the user's sodium carbonate usage is to be met once a year, the sodium carbonate solution needs to be prepared in advance so that the total volume of the salt box reaches 7L. Second, sodium carbonate will condense into blocks at the bottom of the salt box and is difficult to dissolve, which is not conducive to electrolysis. A heating rod is required to assist dissolution, which is bound to increase manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an automatic salt adding device which is small in size and not prone to agglomeration in view of the above technical status quo.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems by adopting the following technical solution: an automatic salt adding device, characterized in that it includes

[0006] The upper shell has a salt storage area and a mounting area inside, and the bottom of the salt storage area has a plurality of through holes;

[0007] The exciter is arranged in the installation area of ​​the upper housing;

[0008] A lower housing is disposed below the upper housing, and the inner cavity forms a saline chamber;

[0009] A mesh plate is movably disposed on the bottom of the salt storage area and has a plurality of mesh holes, wherein the mesh holes cooperate with the through holes to allow the salt in the salt storage area to fall into the brine chamber after passing through the through holes and the mesh holes in sequence; and

[0010] The driving mechanism is arranged in the upper shell and can drive the mesh plate to move. The driving mechanism can be linked with the salinity sensor.

[0011] The driving mechanism is preferably one of the following two:

[0012] The first one is that the driving mechanism includes a motor and a gear; the gear is arranged at the power output end of the aforementioned motor, and correspondingly, a rack meshing with the aforementioned gear is arranged on one side of the mesh plate.

[0013] The second type, the driving mechanism includes a driving source and a telescopic rod provided at the power output end of the driving source, and the telescopic rod is connected to the mesh plate. One side of the mesh plate has a connecting plate extending laterally, and the outer end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The driving source is a cylinder or a motor driving module, and the motor driving module is composed of a motor and a transmission component.

[0014] The lower shell has a water inlet port and a water outlet port on one side. The lower shell is provided with a high level gauge and a low level gauge on the inner side for detecting the liquid level of the brine chamber. The device can replenish water automatically according to the liquid level.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are: the driving mechanism drives the mesh plate to move to complete the salt delivery, and the amount of salt delivered is as much as needed without the need for pre-mixing, so the volume can be greatly reduced, which is conducive to transportation and spatial layout; secondly, each time the salt is delivered, the mesh plate needs to move back and forth, thus greatly reducing the phenomenon of salt condensing into blocks at the bottom.

[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 to Figure 5As shown, the automatic salt adding device for electrolyzing water in this embodiment includes an upper shell 1, an exciter 3, a lower shell 2, a mesh plate 43 and a motor 4. The upper shell 1 has a salt storage area 11 and a mounting area 12. The bottom of the salt storage area 11 has a plurality of through holes 14. A cover plate 13 is provided on the port of the upper shell. When salt is lacking, the cover plate 13 is opened. The added salt mainly refers to sodium carbonate.

[0024] The vibrator 3 is arranged in the installation area 12 of the upper shell 1; the lower shell 2 is assembled below the upper shell 1, and the inner cavity forms a brine chamber 2a, and the lower shell 2 has a water inlet port 21 and a water outlet port 22. A high liquid level sensor 61 and a low liquid level sensor 62 are arranged inside the lower shell 2 for detecting the liquid level of the brine chamber, and the device can automatically replenish water according to the liquid level.

[0025] The mesh plate 43 is movably arranged on the bottom of the salt storage area 11 and has a plurality of mesh holes 44. The mesh holes 44 cooperate with the through holes 14 to enable the salt in the salt storage area 11 to pass through the through holes 14 and the mesh holes 44 in sequence and then fall into the brine chamber 2a. In this embodiment, the mesh holes 44 and the through holes 14 are circular holes of the same diameter. When they are completely staggered, the salt addition is closed, and when they are completely aligned, the salt addition is opened.

[0026] The motor 4 is disposed in the mounting area 12 of the upper housing 1 and can drive the mesh plate 43 to move. Figure 4 As shown, a gear 41 is provided at the power output end of the motor 4 , and correspondingly, a rack 42 meshing with the gear 41 is provided at one side of the mesh plate 43 .

[0027] The automatic salting scheme is as follows: for the first time after being transported to the user's home, just press the power button to automatically inject 500ml of pure water. At the same time, the motor starts, driving the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the rack to move the mesh plate, so that the mesh and the through hole are aligned. At this time, the vibrator is turned on, and the sodium carbonate powder will fall into the brine chamber below through the through hole and the mesh with the vibration. When the electrolyzed water is consumed and new water is added, the motor will automatically start and repeat the above action.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the annual consumption of salt, the total volume of sodium carbonate needs to be 1500 ml, so the size of the device only needs to be 2 L.

[0029] Embodiment 2, the driving mechanism in this embodiment includes a driving source 4a and a telescopic rod 4b provided at the power output end of the driving source 4a, and the telescopic rod 4b is connected to the mesh plate 43. The driving source 4a can drive the telescopic rod 4b to move back and forth. Specifically, one side of the mesh plate 43 has a connecting plate 431 extending laterally, and the outer end of the telescopic rod 4b is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 431. The driving source 4a in this embodiment can be a cylinder or a motor drive module. For other structures, refer to Embodiment 1.
