Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0048] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and quality of life, the requirements for the sterilization effect of cleaning equipment such as a sweeping robot, a mopping robot or a scrubber are getting higher and higher.
[0049] In the related art, cleaning equipment such as a sweeping machine, a mopping machine and a scrubber is configured with a water tank, and cleaning water is provided to the ground to be cleaned through the water tank. In order to obtain better cleaning effect, disinfectant can be added to the water tank, but disinfectant needs to be added regularly later, which is high in cost, and the disinfection concentration of the obtained cleaning water is not uniform, the disinfection effect is poor, which affects the user experience.
[0050] Based on the above technical problems, the present application provides an electrolysis device and cleaning equipment, aiming to at least partly solve the technical problems of high cost, inconvenience and poor disinfection effect of obtaining disinfectant water in the related art cleaning equipment, to reduce the user's use burden and cost, and improve the user experience.
[0051] In the present application, an electrolysis device is installed in a cleaning equipment. The electrolysis device comprises a tank and an electrode assembly. The tank is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, and cleaning water can be injected into the tank from the water inlet and discharged from the water outlet of the tank. The electrode assembly is arranged in the tank. In this way, the cleaning water can cover the surface of the electrode assembly. Under the condition that the electrode assembly is powered on, the electrode assembly can electrolyze the cleaning water in the tank to generate disinfectant. The disinfectant flows out of the water outlet of the tank together with the cleaning water to act on the ground to be cleaned. Thus, the cleaning equipment has a disinfection function without the need to additionally provide a sterilization device (disinfectant or / and a device for releasing negative ions) in the water tank. The disinfection concentration is uniform, the disinfection effect is good, the user's use burden and cost are not increased, the user experience is improved, and the electrolysis device has good practicability. The cleaning water can be tap water or pure water, which is not limited by the present application. The specific details of the electrolysis device are further described with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1In one embodiment, the housing 100 has a generally square structure. The inlet 101 and outlet 102 are located on the same side wall of the housing 100 along its height. The inlet 101 is located below the outlet 102, allowing cleaning water to be stored within the housing 100 and enabling the electrode assembly to be energized at any time to electrolyze the cleaning water into disinfectant. In another embodiment, the housing 100 may also have a columnar structure. The outlet 102 may be located at the top of the housing 100, and the inlet 101 may be located at the bottom of the housing 100. Alternatively, the inlet 101 and outlet 102 may be located on two different side walls of the housing 100, for example, on two opposite side walls of the housing 100, or on two adjacent side walls of the housing 100. This application does not impose any limitations on these arrangements. In other embodiments, the inlet 101 is located above the outlet 102. This arrangement allows the cleaning water inside the tank 100 to be discharged from the outlet as much as possible, keeping the inside of the tank 100 dry and clean, preventing bacteria from growing inside the tank 100 when it is not used for a long time, avoiding corrosion, and thus improving its service life.
[0053] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 The side of the housing 100 is provided with connecting ear plates 109, which can be integrally formed with the housing 100. Two connecting ear plates 109 can be provided, one on each side of the housing 100. In other embodiments, only one connecting ear plate 109 can be provided, i.e., only one connecting ear plate 109 is provided on one side of the housing 100. The connecting ear plate 109 can be provided with connecting holes 110 to fix the connecting ear plate inside the cleaning equipment using bolts or other connectors, thereby fixing the housing 100 inside the cleaning equipment. The shape of the connecting ear plate 109 is also not limited to... Figure 1 The shape shown can be any shape that facilitates fixing the box 100.
[0054] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the explosion. Combined with... Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In one embodiment, the housing 100 includes a bottom shell 103 and a top cover 104, with the top cover 104 connected to the bottom shell 103 to form a water storage cavity. Specifically, the bottom shell 103 and the top cover 104 have interlocking bosses and grooves at their edges, and a sealing element 105 is provided between the edges of the bottom shell 103 and the top cover 104 to ensure a seal between them and prevent water leakage at the joint.
[0055] Figure 3 It showsFigure 2 Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the bottom shell in the electrolytic device. In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inner wall of the box body 100 is provided with a support 106, which supports the electrode assembly 200. On one hand, the support 106 can support and compress the electrode assembly 200. On the other hand, the support 106 can also make the electrode assembly 200 have a spacing with the side wall of the box body 100, so as to facilitate the flow of cleaning water in the box body 100. In an embodiment, the inner wall of the bottom shell 103 and the upper cover 104 of the box body 100 are both provided with the support 106. The support 106 can be adapted to the structure of the upper cover 104 or the bottom shell 103, such as a square structure or a columnar structure. The support 106 can be integrally formed on the inner wall of the box body 100. The support 106 can be arranged in rows on the inner wall of the box body 100, or the support 106 can be arranged in a grid shape on the inner wall of the box body 100. The present application does not limit this. In another embodiment, the support 106 can be arranged only on the inner wall of one of the bottom shell 103 and the upper cover 104.
[0056] In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 The box body 100 is provided with a partition plate 108, which divides the box body 100 into independent first and second chambers 111 and 112. The electrode assembly 200 is arranged in the first chamber 111, and cleaning water cannot enter the second chamber 112. The second chamber 112 is provided with a power distribution assembly 400, which is connected with the electrode elements 201 of the electrode assembly 200. The power distribution assembly 400 is configured to control at least two electrode elements of the electrode assembly 200 to be electrically conductive at the same time, with a voltage range of 1.5V-36V. In the electrolytic device disclosed in the present application, under the condition that the power distribution assembly 400 applies a voltage of 1.5V-36V to each electrode element, the electrolytic device can efficiently prepare a disinfecting factor, so that the cleaning device can disinfect the surface to be cleaned or the cleaning device itself.
[0057] In combination with Figure 2 In an embodiment, the electrolytic device further comprises a wiring terminal 600. The power distribution assembly 400 is connected with the power supply or the main control module or the main control circuit board of the cleaning device through the wiring terminal 600. Through the distribution of the power distribution assembly 400, the electrode elements 201 of certain electrode assemblies 200 can be selectively controlled to be electrically conductive, thereby electrolyzing the required disinfecting factor.
[0058] Figure 4 Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the bottom shell with a flow channel. In combination with Figure 4The inner wall of the box 100 is provided with a first flow channel 107, at least part of the first flow channel 107 is curved, which can prolong the flow path of the cleaning water in the box 100, increase the contact area of the cleaning water and the electrode assembly 200, and then more disinfection factors can be generated in the cleaning water in the box 100, thereby improving the disinfection effect of the electrolytic device 10; in addition, the flow direction and shape of the first flow channel 107 can be designed to control the flow direction and flow speed of the cleaning water in the box 100, thereby changing the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode assembly 200 or / and the water outlet condition of the electrolytic device 10.
[0059] In combination with Figure 4 In an embodiment, the inner wall of the bottom shell 103 of the box 100 is provided with the first flow channel 107 described above, and the first flow channel 107 is curved in the shape of a bow or a snake. In another embodiment, the inner wall of the upper cover 104 can also be provided with the first flow channel 107 described above, which is not limited in the present application.
[0060] In addition, in combination with Figure 4 In an embodiment, the support 106 can also be provided with a second flow channel 113, which can be in the shape of a long strip, which can change the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode assembly 200 or / and the water outlet condition of the electrolytic device 10, and improve the disinfection effect of the electrolytic device 10.
[0061] In combination with Figure 2 In an embodiment, the electrode assembly 200 includes two or more electrode elements 201, which are arranged in the vertical direction from the water inlet 101 to the water outlet 102, i.e. the two or more electrode elements 201 are arranged in the height direction of the box 100. When the two or more electrode elements 201 are electrified, they can decompose the cleaning water in the box 100 to generate disinfection factors. For example, the two or more electrode elements 201 can electrolyze hydrogen peroxide and / or free hydroxyl from the cleaning water, and when tap water is used as the water source of the cleaning water, a certain amount of chlorine gas will be contained in the tap water. The adjacent electrode elements 201 can also electrolyze hypochlorous acid and chlorine dioxide from the tap water.
[0062] In combination with Figure 2 In addition, the two or more electrode elements 201 can be arranged in the height direction of the box 100 in a staggered manner, and the two or more electrode elements 201 can be arranged in the height direction of the box 100 in a staggered manner. Figure 3The cross-sectional shape of the electrode element 201 matches the first cavity, so that the electrode element 201 can be laid flat in the first cavity. In some embodiments, the electrode element 201 is provided with a hollow portion 202 for the cleaning water to pass through. In an embodiment, the electrode element 201 is provided with a through-hole structure, which can be a waist-round hole, a square hole, or a circular hole, etc. The through-hole structure forms the hollow portion 202, and the area of the hollow portion 202 accounts for 55% to 65% of the total area of the electrode element 201. In this way, the flow rate of the cleaning water between adjacent electrode elements 201 can be guaranteed, and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode assembly 200 or the water output of the electrolysis device 10 can be adjusted. In addition, the area of the hollow portion can be adjusted according to the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode assembly 200 or the water output of the electrolysis device 10.
[0063] It should be noted that the area of the hollow portion 202 of each electrode element 201 can be the same or different. In addition, the through-hole structure of each electrode element 201 can be the same or different, which is not limited in the present application.
[0064] In combination with Figure 2 The electrode elements 201 are arranged at intervals, and the polarity of the electrode elements 201 on the odd number position is different from that of the electrode elements 201 on the even number position. For example, the electrode elements 201 are provided in three, which are a first electrode element 201a, a second electrode element 201b, and a third electrode element 201c arranged in order from bottom to top along the height direction. The polarity of the first electrode element 201a and the third electrode element 201c is the same (for example, positive), and the polarity of the second electrode element 201b is different from that of the first electrode element 201a and the third electrode element 201c (for example, the second electrode element 201b is negative, and the first electrode element 201a and the third electrode element 201 are positive). The first electrode element 201a and the second electrode element 201b are connected, and / or the third electrode element 201c and the second electrode element 201b are connected to electrolyze the cleaning water, so that different disinfecting factors can be electrolyzed according to the cleaning environment, and the disinfection effect can be improved. In other embodiments, the electrode elements 201 can be provided in five, seven, etc., which is not limited in the present application.
[0065] In combination with Figure 2The power distribution assembly 400 can simultaneously control the electrical conduction between the first electrode element 201a and the second motor element 201b, and / or between the third electrode element 201c and the second electrode element 201b, with a voltage range of 1.5V to 36V. The electrolysis device disclosed in this application, when the power distribution assembly 400 applies a voltage of 1.5V to 36V to each electrode element, can efficiently prepare disinfecting agents, enabling the cleaning equipment to disinfect the surface to be cleaned or the cleaning equipment itself.
[0066] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, an insulating element 500 is provided between adjacent electrode elements 201 to prevent short circuits from occurring between electrode elements 201 during electrolysis.

[0068] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of another insulating element 500 is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 6 In one embodiment, a third flow channel 503 may also be provided on the insulating element 500 to change the electrolysis efficiency of the electrode assembly 200 and / or the water output of the electrolysis device 10, thereby improving the disinfection effect of the electrolysis device 10.

The catalytic layer 300 can include a carbon felt, a porous ceramic or a silico-aluminate (molecular sieve) catalyst carrier element, and a catalyst is arranged on the surface and / or inside of the catalyst carrier element to form the catalytic layer 300. Under the action of the catalytic layer 300, the adjacent electrode elements 201 electrolyze the cleaning water directly or indirectly into disinfecting factors such as hydrogen peroxide and / or free hydroxyl radicals. For example, the catalyst can be platinum, a cobalt-based catalyst, a ruthenium-based catalyst, an iridium-based catalyst, a carbon-oxygen-based catalyst, etc. Under the catalysis of the catalyst, the adjacent electrode elements 201 can electrolyze more disinfecting factors from the cleaning water. The electrolytic substances generated by the adjacent electrode elements 201 can be one or more, which is not limited in the present application. The catalytic layer 300 is arranged between at least some of the adjacent electrode elements 201, which means that the catalytic layer 300 can be arranged between all of the adjacent electrode elements 201, or only between some of the adjacent electrode elements 201. The catalytic layer 300 can be clamped by the insulating element 500 and one of the two adjacent electrode elements 201 to fix the catalytic layer 300 between the adjacent electrode elements 201.

At the same time, under the control of the power distribution assembly 400, at least one of the electrode elements 201 with the catalytic layer 300 and the electrode elements 201 without the catalytic layer 300 can perform electrolysis work at the same time to prepare corresponding disinfecting factors, i.e., the electrolytic products of the first electrode element 201a and the second electrode element 201b are different from the electrolytic products of the third electrode element 201c and the second electrode element 201b.

In combination Figure 7In another embodiment, the electrode element 201 is provided with a catalytic layer 300 on at least one side. In practice, the catalytic layer 300 can be formed by electroplating or coating the electrode element 201 with a catalyst. The electrode element 201 is provided with a catalytic layer 300 on at least one side, which means that the catalytic layer 300 is provided on the circumferential side of the electrode element 201, or on the side of the electrode element 201 facing the adjacent electrode element 201, or on the side of the electrode element 201 facing away from the adjacent electrode element 201, which is not limited in the present application.
