Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides an ionized water purification device for a water surface cleaning robot, including a fixed base 1. A circuit board 2 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the fixed base 1. The fixed base 1 has an assembly seat 3 and a cathode through hole 4. The assembly seat 3 has an anode through hole 5. An anode bolt 6 and a cathode bolt 7 are electrically connected to the circuit board 2. An anode copper rod 8 is fixedly connected to the anode through hole 5 through the anode bolt 6. A cathode spring 9 is sleeved on the assembly seat 3. The cathode bolt 7 passes through the cathode through hole 4 and makes electrical contact with the cathode spring 9. A screw hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the anode copper rod 8. A protective shell 12 is fixedly installed in the screw hole 10 by an easy-removable bolt 11. A boss 13 is provided at the bottom of the protective shell 12, and the boss 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the cathode spring 9. A fixing nut 14 is provided on the assembly seat 3 located on the axis of the anode through hole 5. The cathode spring 9 is made of stainless steel. An assembly lug 15 is provided on the outside of the fixed base 1. The anode copper rod 8 is cylindrical or square.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, when this utility model is applied, it is installed inside a water surface robot, and the anode copper rod 8 and cathode spring 9 are immersed in water to facilitate the electrolysis of copper ions. Specifically, a circuit board 2 is fixedly installed on the end face of the mounting base 1. The positive circuit of the circuit board 2 is electrically connected to the anode bolt 6, and the negative circuit of the circuit board 2 is electrically connected to the cathode bolt 7. The anode bolt 6 passes through the anode through hole 5 of the mounting base 3 and is screwed and fixed to the anode copper rod 8, forming an electrical connection. The cathode bolt 7 passes through the cathode through hole 4 of the mounting base 3 and makes electrical contact with the cathode spring 9. When the water surface robot is working, the circuit board 2 pushes the anode copper rod 8 and cathode spring 9, causing the anode copper rod 8 to electrolyze copper ions in the water. The electrolyzed copper ions destroy the outer wall of bacteria and algae spores, thereby quickly and efficiently achieving the effect of sterilization and algae inhibition without the need for chemical agents, and effectively and long-term protecting and purifying water quality.

[0023] Example 2:

[0024] like Figures 1-6As shown, a circuit board 2 is fixedly mounted on the end face of the fixing base 1 of this utility model. The fixing base 1 has an assembly base 3 and a cathode through hole 4, and the assembly base 3 has an anode through hole 5. The circuit board 2 is electrically connected to the anode bolt 6 and the cathode bolt 7. The anode bolt 6 passes through the anode through hole 5 and is fixedly connected to the anode copper rod 8. A cathode spring 9 is sleeved on the assembly base 3, and the cathode bolt 7 passes through the cathode through hole 4 and makes electrical contact with the cathode spring 9. In the specific implementation process, the circuit board 2 is first installed on the end face of the fixing base 1. The assembly base 3 and the cathode through hole 4 are pre-machined on the fixing base 1, and the anode through hole 5 is machined on the assembly base 3. Then, the anode bolt 6 and the cathode bolt 7 are electrically connected to the circuit board 2 using a contact method. Next, the anode bolt 6 passes through the anode through hole 5 and is fixedly connected to the anode copper rod 8 using a threaded connection method. The cathode spring 9 is sleeved on the assembly base 3, and the cathode bolt 7 passes through the cathode through hole 4 to form electrical contact with the cathode spring 9. When the device is installed and powered on, circuit board 2 provides current to anode bolt 6 and cathode bolt 7. The anode copper rod 8 undergoes an electrolytic reaction in the water, releasing copper ions. These copper ions diffuse in the water, effectively inhibiting algae growth and killing bacteria, thus purifying the water. The cathode spring 9 participates in the electrolytic reaction as the cathode, completing the circuit. This structural design allows the device to operate continuously and stably, constantly releasing copper ions to purify the water. Because copper ions are generated through electrolysis, no chemical reagents are needed, making it more environmentally friendly and safer. Simultaneously, the device has a compact structure and is easy to install on water surface cleaning robots. Both the anode copper rod 8 and cathode spring 9 are exposed to the water, ensuring full contact and improving purification efficiency. Circuit board 2 is mounted on the end face of the mounting base 1, isolating it from the water, and ensuring circuit safety. The design of the mounting base 3 allows for stable installation of the anode and cathode components, preventing loosening and extending the device's lifespan. In practical applications, this invention can be installed on various types of water surface cleaning robots and is suitable for various aquatic environments such as swimming pools, artificial lakes, and landscape ponds. As the water surface cleaning robot moves across the water, the device can perform comprehensive water purification treatment on the entire body of water. Compared to traditional single cleaning functions, the addition of water purification greatly improves the practicality and effectiveness of the water surface cleaning robot.

[0025] Example 3:

[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, the bottom of the anode copper rod 8 of this utility model is provided with a screw hole 10. A protective shell 12 is fixedly installed in the screw hole 10 by an easy-release bolt 11. The protective shell 12 covers the anode copper rod 8 and the cathode spring 9. The other end of the protective shell 12 is fixed to the fixing seat 1. The protective shell 12 has a hollow structure to facilitate water contact with the anode copper rod 8 and the cathode spring 9. The bottom of the protective shell 12 is provided with a boss 13, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the cathode spring 9. In specific implementation, firstly, the fixing seat 1, circuit board 2, assembly seat 3, anode bolt 6, cathode bolt 7, anode copper rod 8 and cathode spring 9 are installed according to the method of embodiment two. Then, the screw hole 10 is machined at the bottom of the anode copper rod 8. The protective shell 12 is made. The shape of the protective shell 12 is adapted to the position of the anode copper rod 8 and the cathode spring 9, and the bottom is designed with a boss 13 structure. The protective shell 12 is aligned with the screw hole 10 at the bottom of the anode copper rod 8, and the protective shell 12 is fixed to the anode copper rod 8 using an easy-release bolt 11. Finally, the free end of the cathode spring 9 is fixedly connected to the protrusion 13 at the bottom of the protective shell 12, which can be achieved by snap-fit ​​or adhesive bonding. This structural design has multiple functions. First, the protective shell 12 effectively prevents the cathode spring 9 from directly contacting the anode copper rod 8 due to collisions or other reasons during the operation of the water surface cleaning robot, thus preventing a short circuit. The protective shell 12 separates the anode copper rod 8 and the cathode spring 9, greatly improving the safety and stability of the device. When the protective shell 12 is installed in place, it applies a certain pressure to the cathode spring 9, keeping it in a compressed state. This compressed state ensures that the cathode spring 9 and the cathode bolt 7 always maintain good electrical contact, improving the stability and reliability of the circuit connection. The use of the easy-removable bolt 11 makes it easy to disassemble and install the protective shell 12. This design facilitates later maintenance and component replacement. For example, when it is necessary to replace the anode copper rod 8 or the cathode spring 9, simply remove the easy-removable bolt 11 to easily remove the protective shell 12 for the corresponding maintenance work. In practical applications, this improved design significantly improves the safety and stability of the device. Even when the water surface cleaning robot is moving at high speed or encounters obstacles, it can ensure that the anode and cathode will not make accidental contact. At the same time, since the cathode spring 9 is always in a compressed state, the contact with the cathode bolt 7 is tighter, reducing the problem of current interruption caused by poor contact and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the device.

[0027] Example 4:

[0028] like Figures 1-6As shown, a fixing nut 14 is provided on the mounting base 3 of this utility model at the center of the anode through hole 5. The anode bolt 6 first passes through and is screwed onto the fixing nut 14, and then is screwed onto the anode copper rod 8, thereby improving the installation stability of the anode copper rod 8. In specific implementation, the anode through hole 5 is first machined on the mounting base 3, and then the fixing nut 14 is installed at the center of the anode through hole 5. The fixing nut 14 can be firmly fixed to the mounting base 3 by pressing, welding, or gluing. Then, the anode bolt 6 is screwed onto and passes through the fixing nut 14, and then screwed onto the anode copper rod 8. The main purpose of this structural design is to improve the installation stability of the anode copper rod 8. By adding the fixing nut 14 to the mounting base 3, an additional support point is provided for the anode bolt 6. The fixing nut 14 plays a dual role in fixing: on the one hand, it is firmly connected to the mounting base 3 and becomes part of the mounting base 3; on the other hand, it forms a threaded connection with the anode bolt 6, increasing the fixing strength of the anode bolt 6. After the anode bolt 6 passes through the fixing nut 14 and is tightened, the anode bolt 6 is effectively fixed in both the axial and radial directions. This fixing method significantly reduces the risk of the anode bolt 6 shaking and loosening. Then, when the anode copper rod 8 is screwed and fixed to the anode bolt 6, the entire anode assembly forms a stable whole.

[0029] Example 5:

[0030] like Figures 1-6As shown, the cathode spring 9 of this utility model is made of stainless steel. The device includes a fixed base 1, an assembly base 3, a circuit board 2, an anode bolt 6, an anode copper rod 8, a cathode bolt 7, and a cathode spring 9. The fixed base 1 serves as the basic structure, with the circuit board 2 mounted at one end. The assembly base 3 is mounted on the fixed base 1 and has an anode through hole 5 for mounting the anode copper rod 8. The circuit board 2 is fixed to the end face of the fixed base 1, providing power and control functions. The anode bolt 6 is connected to the positive circuit of the circuit board 2 and passes through the anode through hole 5. The anode copper rod 8 is fixedly connected to the assembly base 3 by the anode bolt 6. The cathode bolt 7 is connected to the negative circuit of the circuit board 2 and passes through the cathode through hole 4 of the fixed base 1. The cathode spring 9 is sleeved on the assembly base 3 and maintains electrical contact with the cathode bolt 7. Choosing stainless steel as the material for the cathode spring 9 has several advantages. First, stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used in aquatic environments for a long time without significant corrosion or degradation. This ensures that the cathode spring 9 can maintain stable performance and shape during long-term operation. Secondly, stainless steel has excellent electrical conductivity, effectively conducting current and ensuring the electrolysis effect of the device. Furthermore, stainless steel possesses appropriate elasticity, allowing the cathode spring 9 to maintain good elastic deformation capacity during use, ensuring stable contact with other components. In practical applications, when installing the stainless steel cathode spring 9, one end is fixedly connected to the cathode bolt 7, while the other end extends into the water. When the device is energized, the cathode spring 9 participates in the electrolysis reaction as the negative electrode. Due to the stability of stainless steel, the cathode spring 9 will not release harmful substances into the water during long-term operation, ensuring water quality safety. Simultaneously, the corrosion resistance of stainless steel allows the cathode spring 9 to maintain good working condition under various water quality conditions, adapting to different usage environments. During operation, a passivation film forms on the surface of the stainless steel cathode spring 9, further enhancing its corrosion resistance. This passivation film does not affect current conduction but effectively prevents the spring material from being corroded by impurities in the water. In addition, the stainless steel cathode spring 9 has high mechanical strength, capable of withstanding the impact and vibration from water flow, ensuring the stability of the device when the water surface cleaning robot is operating.

[0031] Example 6:

[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, the mounting base 1 of this utility model has an assembly ear 15 on its outer side. The device mainly consists of a mounting base 1, an assembly base 3, a circuit board 2, an anode bolt 6, an anode copper rod 8, a cathode bolt 7, and a cathode spring 9. The mounting base 1 serves as the basic structure of the device, with the circuit board 2 mounted on one end. The assembly base 3 is mounted on the mounting base 1 and has an anode through hole 5 for mounting the anode copper rod 8. The circuit board 2 is fixed to the end face of the mounting base 1, providing power and control functions. The anode bolt 6 is connected to the positive circuit of the circuit board 2 and passes through the anode through hole 5. The anode copper rod 8 is fixedly connected to the assembly base 3 by the anode bolt 6. The cathode bolt 7 is connected to the negative circuit of the circuit board 2 and passes through the cathode through hole 4 of the mounting base 1. The cathode spring 9 is sleeved on the assembly base 3 and maintains electrical contact with the cathode bolt 7. The assembly ear 15 on the outer side of the mounting base 1 is an important structural design. The assembly ear 15 is protruding and is integrally formed with the mounting base 1 or firmly connected by welding or other methods. The number and position of the mounting ears 15 are determined according to the structure and installation requirements of the water surface cleaning robot. They are evenly distributed on both sides or around the base 1 to ensure the stability and balance of the installation. The main function of the mounting ears 15 is to provide mounting points for the water purification device, allowing it to be securely fixed to the water surface cleaning robot. In practical applications, the mounting ears 15 have pre-drilled mounting holes or slots for connecting bolts, clips, or other fixing devices. This design allows the water purification device to be quickly and easily installed on the water surface cleaning robot, while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance.

[0033] Example 7:

[0034] like Figures 1-6As shown, the anode copper rod 8 of this utility model adopts a cylindrical or square column design. The device mainly consists of a fixed base 1, an assembly base 3, a circuit board 2, an anode bolt 6, an anode copper rod 8, a cathode bolt 7, and a cathode spring 9. The fixed base 1 serves as the basic structure of the device, with the circuit board 2 mounted at one end. The assembly base 3 is set on the fixed base 1 and has an anode through hole 5 for mounting the anode copper rod 8. The circuit board 2 is fixed to the end face of the fixed base 1, providing power and control functions. The anode bolt 6 is connected to the positive circuit of the circuit board 2 and passes through the anode through hole 5. The anode copper rod 8 is fixedly connected to the assembly base 3 by the anode bolt 6. The cathode bolt 7 is connected to the negative circuit of the circuit board 2 and passes through the cathode through hole 4 of the fixed base 1. The cathode spring 9 is sleeved on the assembly base 3 and maintains electrical contact with the cathode bolt 7. The anode copper rod 8 is designed to be cylindrical or square columnar, each shape having its advantages. The cylindrical anode copper rod 8 has a smooth surface, experiencing less resistance in water, which is beneficial to water flow. Meanwhile, the cylindrical shape makes it easier to ensure dimensional accuracy during processing, which is beneficial for mass production. The rectangular prism-shaped anode copper rod 8, on the other hand, has a larger surface area, which helps increase the release of copper ions and improve water purification. In practical applications, the installation of the cylindrical anode copper rod 8 is relatively simple. It can be directly fixed to the mounting base 3 using anode bolts 6, with the bolts passing through the through-hole in the center of the copper rod for both electrical connection and mechanical fixation. The cylindrical shape also facilitates rotational adjustment during use to ensure uniform release of copper ions. The installation of the rectangular prism-shaped anode copper rod 8 may require additional fixing measures. For example, a groove matching the rectangular shape could be designed on the mounting base 3 to prevent the copper rod from rotating during use. The edges of the rectangular prism-shaped anode copper rod 8 may cause localized water flow turbulence, but this turbulence may also contribute to the diffusion of copper ions.
