[0048] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the solution of this application will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application, but this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, some embodiments of this application provide a garment processing device, including: a bobbin 200, a door seal 300, a door 400, and an electrolysis device 100.

[0051] The drum 200 is equipped with a clothing loading / unloading opening, allowing users to load and unload clothing. A door seal 300 is located at the loading / unloading opening. A door 400 is closable and covers the loading / unloading opening. When the door 400 is closed, it abuts against the door seal 300, sealing the opening. The drum 200, door seal 300, and door 400 together form a clothing handling chamber. By injecting washing liquid (such as water or detergent) into the clothing handling chamber, clothing can be washed, preventing leakage.

[0052] The electrolysis device 100 is installed in the garment processing chamber. In this way, during the washing process, the electrolysis device 100 can better contact the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber, thereby continuously electrolyzing the washing liquid to generate active substances such as hydroxyl radicals. The longer contact time with the washing liquid and the greater the amount of active substances generated by electrolysis significantly improve the disinfection and sterilization effect, thus enhancing the cleaning effect on the clothes. This solves the problem in related technologies where the electrolysis device 100 is placed on the water supply line, resulting in limited contact time with water during the water supply phase, less active substances generated, and thus limited disinfection and sterilization effects.

[0053] Furthermore, by installing an electrolysis device 100 in the garment processing chamber, the active substances such as hydroxyl radicals / ozone generated by the electrolysis of water by the electrolysis device 100 can not only achieve disinfection and sterilization of the garments through contact with the active substances, thus improving the washing effect of the garments, but also achieve disinfection and sterilization of the interior of the garment processing equipment, ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the garment processing equipment, thereby further improving the washing effect of the garments.

[0054] Specifically, refer to Figures 4 to 11 As shown, the electrolysis device 100 may include an electrode assembly 10, which may include at least two electrolysis electrodes 11, one of which is a cathode 111 and the other is an anode 112.

[0055] The electrode assembly 10 can be used to electrolyze the washing liquid to generate highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, etc. These highly oxidizing substances can enter the garment processing chamber and sterilize the garments.

[0056] Specifically, when the electrolysis device 100 is powered on, the ions in the washing liquid will move in a direction. The cations move towards the cathode 111 and gain electrons at the cathode 111 and are reduced. The anions move towards the anode 112 and lose electrons at the anode 112 and are oxidized. As a result, active substances such as hydroxyl radicals / ozone with strong oxidizing activity are generated on the surface of the anode 112, and hydrogen gas is generated on the surface of the cathode 111.

[0057] Ozone can sterilize or inhibit the growth of bacteria in clothing. It can also oxidize and destroy the chromophores of dye molecules that have entered the water, causing the dye to fade and preventing the free dye from staining light-colored clothing and causing color bleeding. The reaction continues to decompose the dye molecules into harmless carbon dioxide, water and / or inorganic salts, without secondary pollution, thus playing a role in preventing color bleeding.

[0058] Hydroxyl radicals have extremely high oxidation potential and strong oxidizing ability, which can sterilize or inhibit the bactericidal effect on clothing, etc. Hydroxyl radicals can undergo rapid chain reactions with most organic pollutants, non-selectively oxidizing harmful substances into carbon dioxide, water or inorganic salts without secondary pollution. Hydroxyl radicals can also oxidize and destroy free dyes, causing them to decolorize and playing a role in preventing color bleeding.

[0059] The cathode 111 generates hydrogen microbubbles. Since the diameter of the microbubbles is very small, usually no more than 50μm, the hydrogen microbubbles can penetrate into the interior of the clothing fibers during the washing process. Through the bursting of microbubbles and adsorption and floating, the microbubbles circulate and wash the clothes, helping the detergent to remove sebum, grease, and fine dust and other dirt accumulated inside the clothing fibers, which can improve the washing ratio.

[0060] It should be noted that the cathode and anode of the electrolysis device are spaced apart, meaning a gap must be maintained between them. This results in a larger device size, making installation on clothing processing equipment less convenient. Furthermore, the electrolysis of the washing liquid relies on the conductivity of ions in the liquid. However, water quality varies greatly across regions. For example, the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) in water in East China is around 150, while in northern China it reaches as high as 500; in Japan, it's around 80, while in Europe and North America it exceeds 500. TDS refers to the concentration of total dissolved solids in water, primarily reflecting the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. It has a good correlation with water hardness and conductivity; for example, the lower the TDS value, the lower the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, and the lower the conductivity. Water quality differences can lead to two extreme situations. First, if the TDS of the washing liquid is too low, approaching pure water, the ion concentration is too low to conduct electricity, thus preventing the electrolysis device from electrolyzing the water. The second scenario: If the TDS of the washing liquid is too high or the water is too hard, the power of the anode and cathode will rise sharply, triggering short-circuit protection. The anode and cathode will then rapidly degrade due to scale buildup. Therefore, differences in TDS of the water quality lead to unstable electrolysis results.

[0061] To address the above problems, in some embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the electrode assembly 10 also includes a solid-state electrolytic membrane 12, which is disposed between the cathode 111 and the anode 112. That is, a solid-state electrolytic membrane 12 is disposed between the cathode 111 and the anode 112. It should be noted that the solid-state electrolytic membrane 12 is solid and has ion transport capabilities. Here, the solid-state electrolytic membrane 12 is used to separate the cathode 111 and the anode 112.

[0062] The principle of water electrolysis by electrode assembly 10: A solid electrolysis membrane 12 is disposed between cathode 111 and anode 112, separating the cathode 111 and anode 112. The solid electrolysis membrane 12 can transfer ions. During the water electrolysis process, water molecules ionize to generate cations and anions. At least one of the cations and anions can migrate through the solid electrolysis membrane 12. For example, hydrogen ions can migrate through the solid electrolysis membrane 12. High-concentration cation and anion regions are formed on both sides of the solid electrolysis membrane 12 along the first direction, respectively. Hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, which have strong oxidizing activity, are generated on the surface of anode 112, and hydrogen gas is generated on the surface of cathode 111.

[0063] The electrolysis apparatus 100 provided in this application embodiment, by setting a solid electrolysis membrane 12, on the one hand, the solid electrolysis membrane 12 is set between the anode 112 and the cathode 111, which can prevent the anode 112 and the cathode 111 from contacting and short-circuiting; on the other hand, the solid electrolysis membrane 12 can transfer ions and can conduct electricity independently of the ions in the washing liquid, thereby avoiding the water quality affecting the power of the electrolysis electrode 11, thus solving the problem of unstable water electrolysis effect caused by the TDS difference of water quality; and the setting of the solid electrolysis membrane 12 can accelerate the migration of at least one of the cations and anions, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0064] For example, the cathode 111 and the anode 112 are stacked along a first direction, and a solid electrolytic membrane 12 is disposed between the cathode 111 and the anode 112.

[0065] It is understood that the stacking of cathode 111 and anode 112 along the first direction means that anode 112 and cathode 111 are arranged approximately face-to-face. For example, cathode 111, anode 112 and solid electrolyte membrane 12 are all approximately flat plate structures. Anode 112, solid electrolyte membrane 12 and cathode 111 are stacked sequentially along the first direction. That is to say, anode 112, solid electrolyte membrane 12 and cathode 111 are arranged in parallel and approximately face-to-face. In this way, without the anode 112 and cathode 111 contacting and short-circuiting, the distance between the two electrodes can be minimized, energy consumption can be reduced and the electrolysis efficiency of electrolysis device 100 can be improved.

[0066] In some embodiments, at least one of the cathode 111 and the anode 112 is in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12. In specific implementations, the cathode 111 may be in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12, the anode 112 may be in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12, or both the cathode 111 and the anode 112 may be in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12.

[0067] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cathode 111, the solid electrolyte membrane 12, and the anode 112 are stacked along the first direction, and at least one of the cathode 111 and the anode 112 is attached to the solid electrolyte membrane 12.

[0068] For example, both the electrolytic electrode 11 and the solid electrolytic membrane 12 have a flat plate structure, and the electrolytic electrode 11 can be attached to the solid electrolytic membrane 12. That is, at least one of the cathode 111 and the anode 112 is attached to the solid electrolytic membrane 12. This arrangement can reduce the distance between the cathode 111 and the anode 112, improve the working efficiency of the electrode assembly 10, reduce energy consumption, and make the electrode assembly 10 smaller in size, thereby making the electrolysis device 100 smaller in size and more efficient.

[0069] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electrolysis device 100 includes a housing 40, on which an inlet 40a, an outlet 40b, and a flow chamber 40c are formed. Both the inlet 40a and outlet 40b communicate with the flow chamber 40c. An electrode assembly 10 is disposed within the flow chamber 40c. Fluid flows sequentially through the inlet 40a, the flow chamber 40c, and the outlet 40b. For example, washing liquid enters the flow chamber 40c from the inlet 40a and contacts the electrode assembly 10 located within the flow chamber 40c. The electrode assembly 10 electrolyzes the washing liquid flowing through the flow chamber 40c, and the electrolyzed washing liquid flows out from the outlet 40b. The electrode assembly 10 is located within the flow chamber 40c. The housing 40 not only facilitates the concentrated flow of washing liquid through the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency, but also protects the electrode assembly 10.

[0070] It should be noted that the type of clothing processing equipment provided in the embodiments of this application is not limited, and can specifically be a drum washing machine or a drum washer-dryer combo, etc.

[0071] In some embodiments, the drum 200 may include an inner drum and an outer drum. The inner drum is rotatably disposed inside the outer drum, and the axis of the inner drum may extend horizontally. The inner drum is used to hold clothes. The outer drum may be a water-holding drum. The inner drum is provided with a flow hole communicating with the outer drum. That is, the inner drum is a perforated inner drum. The washing liquid can flow through the flow hole of the inner drum between the outer drum and the inner drum and between the space inside the inner drum, and come into contact with the clothes placed inside the inner drum.

[0072] In other embodiments, the drum body 200 may include an inner drum and an outer drum. The inner drum is rotatably disposed inside the outer drum. The axis of the inner drum may extend in a horizontal direction. The inner drum is used to hold clothes. The inner drum itself can hold water. During the washing process, the washing water in the clothes handling chamber of the inner drum will not enter the outer drum. In this embodiment, the inner drum is a non-perforated inner drum.

[0073] It is understood that the cylinder 200 may also include only the inner cylinder, without the outer cylinder mentioned above, and the inner cylinder itself can hold water. In this embodiment, the inner cylinder is a non-perforated inner cylinder.

[0074] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment may further include a housing 500, with a cylinder 200 disposed within the housing 500. The housing 500 has an opening communicating with the interior of the cylinder 200. For example, the front door of the housing 500 has an opening, and a door seal 300 (also called a door seal ring) may be provided at the opening of the front door. The door 400 is used to selectively open or close the opening of the front door, and when the door 400 closes the opening of the front door, the door 400 abuts against the door seal 300, so that the door 400, the door seal 300, and the cylinder 200 together constitute a garment processing chamber.

[0075] It should be noted that the cylinder 200, door seal 300, and door 400 together constitute the garment processing chamber. The electrolysis device 100 is disposed in the garment processing chamber. In specific implementations, the electrolysis device 100 can be disposed on the cylinder 200, the door seal 300, or, as needed, the door 400. The specific placement of the electrolysis device 100 in the garment processing chamber can be reasonably set and adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0076] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, lifting ribs 201 are provided on the inner wall of the cylinder 200, and the electrolysis device 100 is mounted on the lifting ribs 201. This allows the electrolysis device 100 to be installed inside the cylinder 200.

[0077] Specifically, the lifting rib 201 provides a carrier for mounting and fixing the electrolysis device 100. The electrolysis device 100 can be mounted on the lifting rib 201, thereby utilizing the lifting rib 201 to achieve the mounting and fixing of the electrolysis device 100 within the drum 200. By placing the electrolysis device 100 on the lifting rib 201, it is possible for the electrolysis device 100 to better contact the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber during the washing process, thereby continuously electrolyzing the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber to generate active substances such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone.

[0078] In addition, the lifting ribs 201 are used to lift and raise the clothes in the clothes treatment chamber as the drum 200 (e.g., the inner drum) rotates during the washing process. The lifting ribs 201 have more contact with the clothes. By setting the electrolysis device 100 on the lifting ribs 201, the active substances generated by the electrolysis of the electrolysis device 100 can better contact the clothes in the clothes treatment chamber, thereby achieving a better disinfection and sterilization effect on the clothes.

[0079] In some embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 is disposed on the outer surface of the lifting rib 201.

[0080] It should be noted that the lifting ribs 201 are installed on the inner wall of the drum 200. The outer surface of the lifting ribs 201, that is, the surface of the lifting ribs 201 exposed in the garment processing chamber, is the external appearance surface of the lifting ribs 201. By placing the electrolysis device 100 on the outer surface of the lifting ribs 201, it is beneficial for the electrolysis device 100 to better contact with the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber, thereby generating active substances such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone more quickly and in greater quantities. This allows the active substances generated by electrolysis to better contact with the clothes in the garment processing chamber, thus achieving a better disinfection and sterilization effect on the clothes.

[0081] In practice, the electrolysis device 100 can be fixed to the outer surface of the lifting rib 201 by means of screw fixing, bonding or other methods.

[0082] In some embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 includes a housing 40 and an electrode assembly 10 disposed within the housing 40. The housing 40 can be fixed to the outer surface of the lifting rib 201. The housing 40 has an inlet 40a and an outlet 40b, both of which are connected to the clothing processing chamber. This allows the washing liquid in the clothing processing chamber to enter the housing 40 through the inlet 40a, be electrolyzed by the electrode assembly 10, and then flow out through the outlet 40b. The housing 40 not only protects the electrode assembly 10 but also prevents the electrode assembly 10 from being directly exposed and coming into contact with the clothing in the clothing processing chamber, thus avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0083] In some embodiments, the lifting rib 201 is provided with a receiving cavity 2011, the electrolysis device 100 is disposed in the receiving cavity 2011, and the lifting rib 201 is provided with a water passage hole 2012 communicating with the receiving cavity 2011. That is, the electrolysis device 100 is built inside the lifting rib 201.

[0084] Specifically, a receiving cavity 2011 can be provided on the side of the lifting rib 201 facing the inner wall of the cylinder 200. That is, the receiving cavity 2011 can be provided on the non-exterior surface of the lifting rib 201. In this way, after the electrolysis device 100 is installed on the lifting rib 201 and the lifting rib 201 is installed on the inner wall of the cylinder 200, the electrolysis device 100 can be hidden inside the lifting rib 201 by the cooperation between the lifting rib 201 and the inner wall of the cylinder 200. This not only achieves a stable installation of the electrolysis device 100 on the cylinder 200, but also avoids the electrolysis device 100 being exposed and causing safety hazards.

[0085] In a specific implementation, multiple water passages 2012 can be distributed on the lifting rib 201. All the water passages 2012 are connected to the clothes processing chamber, so that the washing liquid in the clothes processing chamber can enter the receiving cavity 2011 of the lifting rib 201 in multiple directions through the multiple water passages 2012, thereby ensuring that the washing liquid can fully contact the electrolysis device 100 in the receiving cavity 2011.

[0086] In some embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 includes a housing 40 and an electrode assembly 10 disposed within the housing 40. The housing 40 and the electrode assembly 10 are entirely located in a receiving cavity 2011. The housing 40 has an inlet 40a and an outlet 40b. Both the inlet 40a and the outlet 40b communicate with the garment processing chamber through water passages 2012 on the lifting ribs 201. This allows the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber to enter the housing 40 through the water passages 2012 on the lifting ribs 201, then through the inlet 40a to contact the electrode assembly 10 disposed within the housing 40. After electrolysis by the electrode assembly 10, the liquid flows out through the outlet 40b. The housing 40 provides protection for the electrode assembly 10.

[0087] In other embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 includes an electrode assembly 10 located in a receiving cavity 2011 and exposed within the cavity 2011. That is, in this embodiment, the electrolysis device 100 may omit the outer casing 40 and directly house the electrode assembly 10 within the receiving cavity 2011 of the lifting rib 201. This reduces the size of the electrolysis device 100, facilitates its installation on the lifting rib 201, and allows for better contact between the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber and the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0088] In some embodiments, the cylinder 200 is provided with a power supply device for supplying power to the electrolysis device 100; specifically, the power supply device includes any one of an energy storage component, a wireless power transmission device, and a power generation device.

[0089] In some embodiments, the power supply device is an energy storage component. Specifically, a mounting cavity for installing the energy storage component can be provided on the lifting rib 201. The energy storage component can be installed in the mounting cavity and electrically connected to the electrolysis device 100 to supply power to the electrolysis device 100. The energy storage component can also be located on the outside of the cylinder 200 for easy removal and replacement by the user. The energy storage component is connected to the electrolysis device 100 via a conductive wire to supply power to the electrolysis device 100. Specifically, the energy storage component can be a dry cell battery, a storage battery, or other component structure capable of storing electrical energy.

[0090] In some embodiments, the power supply device is a wireless power transmission device. The wireless power transmission device transmits electrical energy wirelessly, thus eliminating the need for a conductive wire connection to an external power source and preventing interference between the cylinder 200 (e.g., the inner cylinder) and the conductive wire during rotation.

[0091] Specifically, the wireless power transfer device can be located on the rear side of the tube 200 (e.g., the inner tube). For example, the wireless power transfer device is located in the central region of the rear sidewall of the inner tube. The wireless power transfer device is located outside the garment handling chamber to prevent clothing or other loads inside the chamber from contacting the wireless power transfer device, thus improving safety.

[0092] In some embodiments, the wireless power transmission device can be electrically connected to the electrolysis device 100 via a wire. The wireless power transmission device, the wire, and the electrolysis device 100 all rotate synchronously with the inner cylinder. The rotation of the inner cylinder will not cause problems such as the wire getting tangled. The wire transmits the electrical energy of the wireless power transmission device to the electrolysis device 100, which is highly reliable.

[0093] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment includes a housing 500 and a wireless power transmitter, with a cylinder 200 located inside the housing 500. The wireless power transmitter may be disposed on the back panel of the housing 500. The wireless power transmitter and wireless power transmission device transmit electrical energy without contact, meaning that the wireless power transmitter and wireless power transmission device can transmit electrical energy without the need for wired connections.

[0094] For example, a wireless power transmitting device includes a transmitting coil, and a wireless power transmitting device includes a receiving coil, wherein energy can be transferred between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil via a magnetic field. For instance, the transmitting coil can generate a changing magnetic field, and the receiving coil can generate a current through electromagnetic induction, thereby achieving energy transfer.

[0095] In this embodiment, even when the inner cylinder is rotating, the wireless power transmitting device and the wireless power transmission device can still provide high-power electrical energy to the electrolysis device 100 and other electrical devices to meet the power demand.

[0096] In some embodiments, the wireless power transmitter may be located on the front side of the rear panel of the housing 500. Exemplarily, the wireless power transmitter may be located at the center region of the rear panel of the housing 500 corresponding to the inner cylinder, and the wireless power transmitter may be aligned with the wireless power transmission device. Using a plane perpendicular to the front-back direction as the projection plane, the projections of the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power transmission device at least partially overlap.

[0097] For example, the wireless power transmission device includes a housing that is annular in shape, and a receiving coil is housed within the housing. The housing can be used to protect the receiving coil.

[0098] In some embodiments, the power supply device is a power generation device. Specifically, the power generation device can be a generator, which includes a stator and a rotor. The stator can be fixed to the outer drum, and the rotor can be fixed to the inner drum. When the inner drum rotates relative to the outer drum, it drives the rotor to rotate relative to the stator, thereby generating electrical energy. A wire is connected to the rotor, and the wire is electrically connected to the electrolysis device 100 to transmit the electrical energy generated by the power generation device to the electrolysis device 100. The rotor, wire, and electrolysis device 100 all rotate synchronously with the inner drum, and the rotation of the inner drum will not cause problems such as wire entanglement.

[0099] For example, the inner cylinder is rotatably connected to the outer cylinder via a rotating shaft. The outer cylinder is provided with a bearing seat, which is located on the rear side of the inner cylinder. The rotating shaft is supported on the bearing seat by a bearing. A rotor can be fixed on the rear side of the inner cylinder, and a stator can be fixed on the bearing seat. When the inner cylinder rotates relative to the outer cylinder, it drives the rotor to rotate relative to the stator, thereby generating electrical energy.

[0100] In some embodiments, the cathode 111 of the electrolysis device 100 is connected to a cathode 111 wiring terminal, and the anode 112 is connected to an anode 112 wiring terminal. The cathode 111 wiring terminal and the anode 112 wiring terminal can be electrically connected to the power supply device through wires, respectively.

[0101] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the electrolysis device 100 is mounted on the door seal 300. This arrangement allows for the installation of the electrolysis device 100 at the door seal 300. Specifically, the door seal 300 provides a mounting and fixing carrier for the electrolysis device 100, and the active substances generated by the electrolysis of the device 100 can not only disinfect and sterilize the clothes in the clothing processing chamber, but also effectively disinfect and sterilize the door seal 300 or the door body 400.

[0102] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a nozzle 301 is provided on the door seal 300, and an electrolysis device 100 is built into the nozzle 301. This arrangement allows the electrolysis device 100 to electrolyze the washing liquid entering the nozzle 301, thereby generating active substances such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone. The washing liquid containing these active substances is then sprayed out through the nozzle 301 to better disinfect and sterilize the clothes in the garment processing chamber and the door seal 300.

[0103] In practical implementation, the nozzle 301 can be set to spray water towards the door seal 300 or the door body 400 as needed, or it can be set to spray water towards the clothes in the clothes handling chamber as needed. The number of nozzles 301 can be one or more. When there are multiple nozzles 301, the multiple nozzles 301 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the door seal 300 on the door seal 300.

[0104] In some embodiments, the spray head 301 has a water-holding cavity and a water inlet and a spray nozzle communicating with the water-holding cavity. The water inlet is connected to a water supply pipe, and the spray nozzle is connected to a laundry processing chamber. The electrolysis device 100 is disposed in the water-holding cavity. This arrangement allows the electrolysis device 100 to be built into the interior of the spray head 301 without occupying additional space in the laundry processing equipment, facilitating the installation of the electrolysis device 100 on the laundry processing equipment. Furthermore, placing the electrolysis device 100 in the water-holding cavity of the spray head 301 allows for better contact between the electrolysis device 100 and the washing liquid in the water-holding cavity.

[0105] In specific implementation, the water supply pipe connected to the inlet of the spray head 301 can be a water supply pipe connected to an external water source, that is, water can be supplied to the spray head 301 from an external water source; or it can be a circulating water supply pipe connected to the clothes handling chamber, that is, the washing liquid discharged from the clothes handling chamber can be circulated and guided to the spray head 301 to supply water to the spray head 301. With this setting, it is not limited to spraying water to the clothes handling chamber, door seal 300 and / or door 400 through the spray head 301 during the washing water inlet stage, but can also use circulating water to continuously spray water to the clothes handling chamber, door seal 300 and / or door 400 through the spray head 301 during the washing stage; and the washing liquid sprayed through the spray head 301 contains active substances such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, thereby achieving better disinfection and sterilization.

[0106] In some embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 includes a housing 40 and an electrode assembly 10 disposed within the housing 40. The housing 40 and the electrode assembly 10 are entirely located in a water-containing cavity. The housing 40 has an inlet 40a and an outlet 40b. Both the inlet 40a and the outlet 40b communicate with the water-containing cavity of the nozzle 301, so that the washing liquid in the water-containing cavity can enter the housing 40 through the inlet 40a, contact the electrode assembly 10 disposed within the housing 40, and flow out through the outlet 40b after electrolysis by the electrode assembly 10. The housing 40 provides protection for the electrode assembly 10.

[0107] In other embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 includes an electrode assembly 10 located in a water-filled cavity and exposed within the cavity. That is, in this embodiment, the electrolysis device 100 may omit the outer casing 40, and the electrode assembly 10 may be directly disposed within the water-filled cavity of the nozzle 301. This reduces the size of the electrolysis device 100, facilitates its installation on the nozzle 301, and allows for better contact between the washing liquid within the nozzle 301 and the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 100.

[0108] In some embodiments, the electrolysis device 100 is connected to the spray nozzle of the nozzle 301. That is, the electrolysis device 100 is used to electrolyze the washing liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle of the nozzle 301. With this configuration, the original structure of the nozzle 301 does not need to be changed; the electrolysis device 100 can be directly externally installed at the spray nozzle of the nozzle 301.

[0109] In some embodiments, the electrolysis apparatus 100 includes a housing 40 and an electrode assembly 10 disposed within the housing 40. The housing 40 has an inlet 40a and an outlet 40b, with the inlet 40a communicating with a spray nozzle. This arrangement allows the washing liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle of the nozzle 301 to enter the housing 40 through the inlet 40a, contacting the electrode assembly 10 within the housing 40. After electrolysis by the electrode assembly 10, the liquid flows out through the outlet 40b. The housing 40 protects the electrode assembly 10 and facilitates the concentrated flow of the washing liquid through the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0110] In some embodiments, a groove for containing washing liquid is formed on the door seal 300, and the electrolysis device 100 is disposed in the groove. During the washing process, some of the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber flows into the groove of the door seal 300, thereby coming into contact with the electrolysis device 100 disposed in the groove, so as to electrolyze and generate active substances such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone to disinfect and sterilize the door seal 300.

[0111] In practice, the groove can be located at the bottom of the door seal 300 so that the washing liquid in the garment processing chamber can flow smoothly into the groove.

[0112] In some embodiments, the garment processing apparatus has a power supply device electrically connected to the electrolysis device 100, so that the power supply device of the garment processing apparatus can be used to power the electrolysis device 100.

[0113] In practice, a wire hole for conductive wires can be provided at the door seal 300. A wire is connected to the power supply device, and the wire passes through the wire hole and is electrically connected to the electrolysis device 100.

[0114] In some embodiments, the cathode 111 of the electrolysis device 100 is connected to a cathode 111 wiring terminal, and the anode 112 is connected to an anode 112 wiring terminal. The cathode 111 wiring terminal and the anode 112 wiring terminal can be electrically connected to a power supply device via wires, respectively.

[0115] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 4 to 11As shown, the electrolysis apparatus 100 includes an electrode assembly 10, which includes electrolytic electrodes 11 and a solid electrolytic membrane 12. Specifically, there are at least two electrolytic electrodes 11, one of which is a cathode 111 and the other is an anode 112. A solid electrolytic membrane 12 is disposed between the cathode 111 and the anode 112. The solid electrolytic membrane is solid and has ion transport function. Here, the solid electrolytic membrane is used to separate the cathode 111 and the anode 112, which not only prevents the cathode 111 and the anode 112 from contacting and short-circuiting, but also allows the solid electrolytic membrane to transport ions, ensuring the normal operation of the electrolysis process.

[0116] In some embodiments, the electrolysis apparatus 100 includes a housing 40, on which an inlet 40a, an outlet 40b, and a flow cavity 40c are formed. Both the inlet 40a and the outlet 40b communicate with the flow cavity 40c. An electrode assembly 10 is disposed within the flow cavity 40c. Washing liquid flows sequentially through the inlet 40a, the flow cavity 40c, and the outlet 40b. For example, washing liquid enters the flow cavity 40c from the inlet 40a and contacts the electrode assembly 10 located within the flow cavity 40c. The electrode assembly 10 electrolyzes the washing liquid flowing through the flow cavity 40c, and the electrolyzed washing liquid flows out from the outlet 40b. The electrode assembly 10 is located within the flow cavity 40c. The housing 40 not only facilitates the concentrated flow of washing liquid through the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency, but also protects the electrode assembly 10.

[0117] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 4 to 6 As shown, cathode 111 and anode 112 are stacked along a first direction, liquid inlet 40a is formed on one side of housing 40 along a second direction, and liquid outlet 40b is formed on the lower surface of housing 40. The first direction, the second direction and the up and down direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0118] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cathode 111 and anode 112 are stacked in a left-right direction, and the inlet 40a can be formed on the rear side of the outer casing 40. In this embodiment, the washing water in the circulating water path 301 flows into the flow chamber 40c through the inlet 40a in a generally second direction, and the electrolyzed water in the flow chamber 40c flows out through the outlet 40b. In the flow chamber 40c, the washing water flows relative to the electrode assembly 10 in a second direction so that the washing water continuously flows through the electrode assembly 10, carrying away products such as ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and hydrogen. The outlet 40b is formed on the lower surface of the outer casing 40 to facilitate the smooth discharge of the electrolyzed washing water from the flow chamber 40c.

[0119] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the axis of the outlet 40b intersects the vertical direction. The axis of the outlet 40b is the line connecting the center points of the flow cross-section of the outlet 40b. Taking a circular flow cross-section as an example, the axis of the outlet 40b is the line connecting the centers of the circles. The intersection of the axis of the outlet 40b with the vertical direction means that the outlet 40b extends at an angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0120] In some embodiments, the outlet 40b may be located on the side of the electrolytic electrode 11 away from the inlet 40a along the second direction. With this design, the fluid from the inlet 40a can flow through the electrolytic electrode 11 substantially completely along the second direction, and the washing water can make sufficient contact with the electrolytic electrode before flowing out of the outlet.

[0121] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 10 includes a support frame, and the solid electrolyte membrane 12 is disposed on the support frame. The support frame can provide support for the solid electrolyte membrane 12, increase the structural strength of the solid electrolyte membrane 12, and reduce the probability of the solid electrolyte membrane 12 wrinkling or deforming.

[0122] In some embodiments, the cathode 111 and the anode 112 are stacked along a first direction, the support frame is located between the cathode 111 and the anode 112, and the solid electrolytic membrane 12 covers at least one side of the support frame along the first direction.

[0123] In some embodiments, for example, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 covers one side of the support frame along the first direction. In other embodiments, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 covers both sides of the support frame along the first direction. In still other embodiments, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 covers all outer surfaces of the support frame.

[0124] In this embodiment, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 is used to facilitate the migration of at least one of anions and cations. The supporting framework enhances the mechanical strength of the solid electrolyte membrane 12, making it less prone to puncture, which helps reduce the risk of internal short circuits and prevents damage during the assembly of the electrolysis device 100.

[0125] It is understandable that the solid electrolytic membrane 12 can have one or more layers, including two or more layers, such as two or three layers, etc.

[0126] In some embodiments, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 can be integrally formed with the support frame, that is, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 can adhere to the support frame by its own force.

[0127] In some embodiments, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 may be connected to the support frame via fasteners.

[0128] The solid electrolyte membrane 12 can be attached to the support skeleton in any way. For example, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 can be attached to the support skeleton by coating, deposition or other methods.

[0129] The type of solid electrolytic membrane 12 is not limited. The solid electrolytic membrane 12 can be a proton exchange membrane for hydrogen ion migration, or it can be other types of solid membranes. For example, the solid electrolytic membrane 12 includes, but is not limited to, solid polymer electrolytic membranes (SPEM), etc.

[0130] The structure of the support frame is not limited; for example, the support frame can be a mesh structure. A mesh structure support frame is easy to process and shape, and is beneficial to the stability of its own structure, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the electrode assembly 10.

[0131] The shape of the mesh in the mesh structure is not limited; the mesh can be circular, elliptical, polygonal, etc.

[0132] The material of the support frame is not limited, and the support frame can be made of insulating material.

[0133] In some embodiments, at least one of the cathode 111 and the anode 112 is in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12. In specific embodiments, the cathode 111 may be in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12, the anode 112 may be in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12, or both the cathode 111 and the anode 112 may be in contact with the solid electrolyte membrane 12.

[0134] Specifically, at least one of the cathode 111 and the anode 112 is bonded to the solid electrolyte membrane 12. In specific implementations, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 may be bonded to the cathode 111, the solid electrolyte membrane 12 may be bonded to the anode 112, or both the cathode 111 and the anode 112 may be bonded to the solid electrolyte membrane 12.

[0135] For example, both the electrolytic electrode 11 and the solid electrolytic membrane 12 are flat plate structures, and the electrolytic electrode 11 can be attached to the solid electrolytic membrane 12. This arrangement can reduce the distance between the cathode 111 and the anode 112, improve the working efficiency of the electrode assembly 10, reduce energy consumption, and make the electrode assembly 10 smaller in size, thereby making the electrolysis device 100 smaller in size and more efficient.

[0136] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 7 to 9 ,as well as Figure 11As shown, the cathode 111 and anode 112 are stacked along a first direction, with the plane perpendicular to the first direction as the projection plane. The projection of the electrolytic electrode 11 lies within the projection range of the solid electrolytic membrane 12. That is, the projections of both the cathode 111 and the anode 112 are within the projection range of the solid electrolytic membrane 12. The size of the solid electrolytic membrane 12 is greater than or equal to the size of the electrolytic electrode 11, which not only minimizes the probability of contact between the cathode 111 and the anode 112, improving reliability and safety, but also facilitates the rapid and efficient transfer of ions by the solid electrolytic membrane 12.

[0137] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 7 to 11 As shown, cathode 111 and anode 112 are stacked along a first direction, and at least one of cathode 111 and anode 112 has a through hole 11a extending along the first direction. Exemplarily, cathode 111 has a through hole 11a extending through both sides along the first direction. Anode 112 has a through hole 11a extending through both sides along the first direction. On one hand, washing water can contact and wet the solid electrolytic membrane 12 through the through hole 11a; on the other hand, ozone, hydroxyl radicals, and hydrogen generated by the electrolytic electrode 11 can be rapidly released through the through hole 11a.

[0138] It should be noted that the shape of the through hole 11a is not limited, and the shape of the through hole 11a includes, but is not limited to, circles, ovals, oval shapes, or polygons.

[0139] In some embodiments, the through hole 11a is an elongated hole, and the through hole 11a can extend into an elongated hole along a direction intersecting the second direction.

[0140] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the electrolysis apparatus includes two clamping members 20, with the electrode assembly 10 clamped between the two clamping members 20. The clamping members 20 have a limiting and fixing function for the electrode assembly 10. Exemplarily, the electrode assembly 10 is clamped between the two clamping members 20, which simplifies the assembly method and can prevent the electrode assembly 10 from loosening and falling off to a certain extent, thereby improving the connection stability between the electrode assembly 10 and the two clamping members 20.

[0141] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11As shown, the clamping member 20 includes clamping plates 21. The clamping plates 21 of the two clamping members 20 are located on both sides of the electrode assembly 10 along the first direction. The clamping plates 21 have liquid passage notches 21a that penetrate the two sides of the clamping plates 21 along the first direction. The two clamping plates 21 clamp the electrode assembly 10. The clamping plates 21 have a plate-like structure and a large contact area with the electrode assembly 10, which can effectively clamp the electrode assembly 10 and reduce the risk of displacement of the electrode assembly 10 during assembly. The liquid passage notches 21a are used to allow fluid, such as water, to flow through them to contact the electrolytic electrode 11.

[0142] Specifically, the clamp 21 can be a flat plate structure or a curved plate structure.

[0143] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, with the plane perpendicular to the first direction as the projection plane, the projection of the through hole 11a is located within the projection range of the liquid passage gap 21a. That is to say, the through hole 11a is connected to the liquid passage gap 21a. In this way, the clamping plate 21 can be prevented from blocking the flow of water to the electrolytic electrode 11 and the solid electrolytic membrane 12, so that the fluid can smoothly contact the electrode assembly 10.

[0144] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the clamping plate 21 includes a frame 211 and a reinforcing rib 212. The frame 211 encloses a clearance space, and the reinforcing rib 212 is disposed in the clearance space and connected to the frame 211. The reinforcing rib 212 divides the clearance space into multiple liquid passage openings 21a. The frame 211 and the reinforcing rib 212 can contact the electrolytic electrode 11, serving to clamp the electrode assembly 10. The clearance space can be used for the flow of water, so that the water can pass through the clearance space and contact the electrolytic electrode 11.

[0145] In this embodiment, the frame 211 can abut against the periphery of the electrolytic electrode 11, so that the periphery of the electrolytic electrode 11 is subjected to clamping force. The reinforcing rib 212 is used to optimize stress distribution and transmission, and plays a role in strengthening the frame 211. It can also abut against the middle part of the electrolytic electrode 11 to improve the clamping effect.

[0146] For example, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the clamp 21 includes at least two intersecting reinforcing ribs 212, which divide the clearance space into multiple fluid passage gaps 21a of approximately the same area. In this way, the flow rate and velocity of the fluid through each fluid passage gap 21a are approximately the same, so that the fluid can flow stably and uniformly.

[0147] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to a quantity including two or more.

[0148] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the clamping member 20 includes a fastener 22 and a fixing ear 23 connected to the clamping plate 21. The fastener 22 passes through the fixing ear 23 of the two clamping members 20. The two clamping members 20 are assembled and fixed by the fixing ear 23 and the fastener 22, which is convenient and improves assembly efficiency.

[0149] The type of fastener 22 is not limited; for example, fastener 22 can be a bolt, etc. Taking a bolt as an example, the distance between the two fixing ears 23 can be adjusted by adjusting the bolt and nut, thereby adjusting the clamping force of the clamping member 20.

[0150] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the fixing ear 23 is connected to the periphery of the clamping plate 21. Exemplarily, the fixing ear 23 is connected to the periphery of the frame 211, so that the fixing ear 23 does not obstruct the liquid passage opening 21a, allowing fluid to flow smoothly through the liquid passage opening 21a and contact the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 100. Furthermore, the periphery of the frame 211 has a large installation space, facilitating the assembly of the two clamping members 20 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0151] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, multiple fixing ears 23 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the clamping plate 21, and the fixing ears 23 of the two clamping members 20 correspond one-to-one. In this way, the connection stability of the two clamping members 20 can be further enhanced, and the two clamping members 20 can be prevented from shifting or misaligning.

[0152] In some embodiments, the electrolysis apparatus 100 includes an insulating member 30, which is disposed between the fixing ears 23 of the two clamping members 20. For example, see... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the insulating component 30 is fitted onto the portion of the fastener 22 located between the two fixing ears 23. In this way, on the one hand, the insulating component 30 prevents the two clamping components 20 from contacting or colliding, providing insulation protection for the electrolysis device 100 and preventing short circuits caused by contact between the two clamping components 20. On the other hand, the fastener 22 limits the position of the insulating component 30, preventing it from loosening or falling off and enhancing its stability.

[0153] In some embodiments, the electrolytic electrode 11 is in conductive contact with the clamping member 20. That is, the clamping member 20 is capable of conducting current, which is transmitted to the electrolytic electrode 11 through the clamping member 20, thus energizing the electrolytic electrode 11. In this way, on the one hand, the large contact area between the electrolytic electrode 11 and the clamping member 20 reduces power loss and improves conductivity. On the other hand, it also reduces the number of additional components required to energize the electrolytic electrode 11, lowering production costs.

[0154] The clamping component 20 is, but is not limited to, a metal component with low resistance and good conductivity.

[0155] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the clamping member 20 includes a contact portion 24 connected to the clamping plate 21. With a plane perpendicular to the first direction as the projection plane, the projections of the contact portions 24 of the two clamping members 20 are spaced apart. The contact portion 24 is used to connect to the power supply circuit. The contact portion 24 conducts electrical energy to the electrolytic electrode 11 through the clamping plate 21. The electrical energy of the power supply circuit is conducted to the electrolytic electrode 11 through the clamping member 20, and the electrolytic electrode 11 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit through the clamping member 20. The contact portions 24 of the two clamping members 20 are respectively electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply circuit to form an electrical circuit. With a plane perpendicular to the first direction as the projection plane, the projections of the contact portions 24 of the two clamping members 20 are spaced apart; that is, the projections of the contact portions 24 of the two clamping members 20 do not overlap. Thus, the two contact portions 24 are spaced far apart, avoiding the risk of short circuit due to water flow impact or other forces.

[0156] For example, in some embodiments, the clamping plate 21 and the grounding part 24 are integrally formed. That is, the clamping member 20 can be an integrally formed structure. In this way, the process of separately manufacturing the grounding part 24 can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.

[0157] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the contact part 24 is connected to the periphery of the clamp 21. For example, the contact part 24 is connected to the periphery of the frame 211, so that the contact part 24 does not block the liquid passage opening 21a, and the fluid can flow smoothly through the liquid passage opening 21a and contact the electrode assembly 10, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 100.

[0158] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 11As shown, a portion of the contact part 24 extends outside the housing 40. Exemplarily, a portion of the contact part 24 extends beyond the upper surface of the housing 40. In this way, the contact terminal of the power supply circuit can be connected to the contact part 24, and the contact terminal can be prevented to some extent from contacting the water in the flow cavity 40c.

[0159] Understandably, the housing 40 has a mounting hole 40d for the electrical contact part 24 to pass through, and the mounting hole 40d and the electrical contact part 24 are sealed together. This prevents water in the flow cavity 40c from contacting the electrical contact end, thus improving safety.

[0160] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, one end of the power-connecting part 24 is connected to one side of the clamping plate 21 along the second direction, and the other end of the power-connecting part 24 is bent upward. With the plane perpendicular to the first direction as the projection plane, the projection of the power-connecting part 24 is approximately L-shaped.

[0161] It should be noted that the clamping component 20 is made of materials including but not limited to metal, which has low resistance and good conductivity.

[0162] The cathode 111 and anode 112 can be prepared using materials known in the art that can be used for water electrolysis.

[0163] It should be noted that, in specific implementations, the electrical connection part 24 is not limited to being connected to the clamp 21, but can also be directly connected to the cathode 111 and the anode 112.

[0164] In some embodiments, the cathode 111 is connected to a cathode terminal for an external power supply line, and the anode 112 is connected to an anode terminal for an external power supply line.

[0165] In practical implementation, the positive and negative terminals can be conveniently connected via wire insertion terminals. This allows the external power supply wire to be electrically connected to both the positive and negative terminals, thus improving the ease of electrical connection. Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, provided that electrolysis of the washing water can be achieved without interfering with actual operation, the external power supply wire can also be directly connected to the positive and negative terminals respectively.

[0166] The number of electrolytic electrodes 11 is at least two. That is, the number of electrolytic electrodes 11 is two or more.

[0167] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 10 includes two electrolytic electrodes 11, one of which is a cathode 111 and the other is an anode 112.

[0168] In other embodiments, the electrode assembly 10 includes two or more electrolytic electrodes 11. The cathode 111 and anode 112 form an electrolytic group, and a solid electrolytic film 12 may be disposed between the cathode 111 and anode 112 of each electrolytic group. There may be one or more electrolytic groups. Exemplarily, multiple electrolytic groups may be stacked along a first direction. Alternatively, multiple electrolytic groups may be laid flat in a plane perpendicular to the first direction.
