DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0028] The present application relates to a kind of pipeline sterilization systems, including circulating pipeline 100, water tank 300, atomization module 500 and fan 600.
[0029] As Figure 1As shown, the circulation pipeline 100 is used for water body circulation of the water storage container 200. The water storage container 200 can be a box, a cylinder 900, a pool, etc. The circulation pipeline 100 extracts the water body in the water storage container 200 and then delivers the water body back to the water storage container 200, so as to recycle the water in the water storage container 200. Specifically, the circulation pipeline 100 comprises a backwater pipe 110, a second water pump 120 and a water outlet pipe 130. The second water pump 120 is connected between the backwater pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 130. One end of the backwater pipe 110 is connected with the water storage container 200, and the other end is connected with the second water pump 120. One end of the water outlet pipe 130 is connected with the water storage container 200, and the other end is connected with the second water pump 120. When the second water pump 120 is started, the liquid in the water storage container 200 is extracted through the backwater pipe 110, and the water flows back to the water storage container 200 through the backwater pipe 110, the second water pump 120 and the water outlet pipe 130 in turn, so as to recycle the water in the water storage container 200. The pipeline sterilization system of the utility model is applied to the bathtub, and the bathtub further comprises the cylinder 900. The cylinder 900 is an embodiment of the above-mentioned water storage container 200. The circulation pipeline 100 is connected with the cylinder 900, and the water in the cylinder 900 is circulated. The water can be branched to a plurality of spray heads through the water outlet pipe 130 to form a massage water column to bathe and massage the user. The water tank 300 can be externally arranged outside the water storage container 200 or internally arranged in the water storage container 200. The water tank 300 can be externally connected with a water pipe to be connected to a tap water pipeline to fill the water tank 300 with tap water, or the water can be directly poured into the water tank 300 by manual operation. The water tank 300 is provided with an electrolysis module 400, and the water in the water tank 300 is electrolyzed by the electrolysis module 400 to form an electrolyte. Specifically, the electrolysis module 400 comprises two or more electrode plates arranged oppositely, the electrode plates are made of metal material and are coated with one or more metal coatings different from the base material. Under the condition of power supply, the electrolysis module 400 can convert part of free ions in the water into ions having a sterilization effect, for example, the chlorine ions in the water can be converted into hypochlorite ions having an oxidation sterilization effect. The atomization module 500 is connected with the water tank 300. The atomization module 500 can use the existing atomization equipment, which uses the principle of ultrasonic high-frequency oscillation to atomize the water into super-micro particles and disperses the water mist into the air by oscillation. The fan 600 is connected with the circulation pipeline 100, and the fan 600 can suck the air in the environment into the circulation pipeline 100. The fan 600 is connected with the backwater pipe 110, or the fan 600 is connected with the water outlet pipe 130, or the fan 600 is connected with both the backwater pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 130.
[0030] The fan 600 is close to the water tank 300 or the atomization module 500, and when the atomization module 500 is started, the fan 600 can suck the atomized electrolyte in the environment and blow it into the circulation pipeline 100.
[0031] In use, when the circulating pipeline 100 circulates the water in the water container, the atomization module 500, the electrolysis module 400 and the fan 600 are in standby state. After the circulating pipeline 100 stops working and the water in the water storage container 200 is discharged, the electrolysis module 400 starts to electrolyze the water in the water tank 300 to form electrolyte, and then the electrolyte in the water tank 300 is atomized by the atomization module 500. The water mist formed by atomization disperses into the air. The fan 600 starts to blow the water mist into the circulating pipeline 100. The water mist condenses into liquid electrolytic water in the circulating pipeline 100. The working time of the atomization module 500 can be set, and the atomization module 500 stops running after the working time. The liquid electrolytic water on the inner wall of the circulating pipeline 100 is used for long-acting sterilization. Because the effective sterilization factor contained in the electrolytic water will gradually decay, the fan 600 will continue to run for a certain period of time after the atomization module 500 stops working, to send air into the circulating pipeline 100, accelerate the evaporation of water in the circulating pipeline 100, and keep the pipeline dry. Before the circulating pipeline 100 stops running and the atomization module 500 starts running, the fan 600 can run in advance to extract air and send it into the circulating pipeline 100 to dry the water in the circulating pipeline 100, and then extract the atomized electrolyte and blow it into the dry circulating pipeline 100 after the atomization module 500 starts running. In this way, the electrolyte can be kept in a high concentration state when the water mist enters the circulating pipeline 100 and condenses into liquid, and the circulating pipeline 100 can be fully sterilized. A part of the atomized electrolyte is not extracted by the fan 600 and randomly disperses in the air, which can also sterilize the environment around the water storage container 200. If electrolytic water is directly poured into the circulating pipeline 100 for sterilization, because the connection between the circulating pipeline 100 and the water storage container 200 remains open during the sterilization process, the electrolytic water will be discharged into the water storage container 200 through the circulating pipeline 100 at the same time, causing a large amount of electrolytic water to be wasted. In this way, the circulating pipeline 100 cannot be filled with electrolytic water, especially for the turning positions in the circulating pipeline 100, which cannot be washed by electrolytic liquid. Compared with pouring electrolytic liquid into the circulating pipeline 100 for sterilization, the electrolysis of the water in the water tank 300 is a static electrolysis process, and the electrolytic liquid stays in the water tank 300, which can ensure the electrolysis time and the high concentration of the electrolytic liquid, save a large amount of electrolytic water, and prolong the service life of the electrolysis module 400. At the same time, the fan 600 drives the atomized electrolytic liquid to form an air current flowing in the circulating pipeline 100, and the water mist can fully diffuse in the circulating pipeline 100, and the electrolytic liquid can be distributed to all positions in the circulating pipeline 100 as much as possible to fully sterilize.
[0032] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the fan 600 and the circulation pipeline 100 are connected through the air feeding pipeline 610. The air feeding pipeline 610 has an air inlet end 611 and an air outlet end 612. The fan 600 is connected to the air inlet end 611, and the air outlet end 612 is connected to the return water pipeline 110 and / or the water outlet pipeline 130 of the circulation pipeline 100. A valve 620 is installed on the air feeding pipeline 610, and the valve 620 is used to control the opening and closing of the air feeding pipeline 610. When the fan 600 is started, the valve 620 is opened, and the airflow and the water mist are blown to the circulation pipeline 100. When the fan 600 is turned off, the valve 620 is closed, and the water in the circulation pipeline 100 can be prevented from being sprayed into the fan 600 through the air feeding pipeline 610. The water level sensor can be arranged in the bathtub body 900. The water level sensor is used to detect the liquid level in the bathtub body 900. When the water level sensor detects that the water in the bathtub body 900 is discharged or the water level is lower than the connection position of the bathtub body 900 and the circulation pipeline 100, the valve 620 can be opened, and the water in the bathtub body 900 can be prevented from flowing back to the air feeding pipeline 610 through the circulation pipeline 100. The valve 620 can be a one-way valve or an electromagnetic valve. When the valve 620 is a one-way valve, the one-way valve controls the airflow to flow in one direction of the circulation pipeline 100, and the water is blocked from flowing back to the fan 600 through the air feeding pipeline 610.
[0033] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The sterilization medium generator 700 is also included. The sterilization medium generator 700 is installed on the pipeline segment of the air feeding pipeline 610 between the fan 600 and the valve 620. When the fan 600 is started, the sterilization medium generator 700 can also be started at the same time, and the electrolyte mist and the sterilization medium generator 700 are used to sterilize the circulation pipeline 100 together. Specifically, the sterilization medium generator 700 can be selected from one or more of a plasma generator, a nano water ion generator, and an ozone generator.
[0034] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the water tank 300 and the circulation pipeline 100 are provided with a connecting pipe 810, and the first water pump 820 is arranged on the connecting pipe 810. The connecting pipe 810 can be connected to the water return pipe 110 or the water outlet pipe 130, or can be connected to the water return pipe 110 and the water outlet pipe 130 through a tee joint. The first water pump 820 can pump the water in the water tank 300 to the circulation pipeline 100. After the circulation pipeline 100 is sterilized by the atomized electrolyte for a period of time, impurities after sterilization and killing will be left in the circulation pipeline 100. After the atomization module 500 stops working, the first water pump 820 can be started to quickly pump the residual electrolyte in the water tank 300 to the circulation pipeline 100 to flush the circulation pipeline 100, discharge some impurities in the circulation pipeline 100, and then perform the final drying under the action of the fan 600. Alternatively, before the atomization module 500 or the electrolysis module 400 is started, part of the water or electrolyte in the water tank 300 can be pumped by the first water pump 820 to flush the circulation pipeline 100, so as to discharge the impurities possibly left in the circulation pipeline 100.
