Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food purification, specifically a food purifier and a food purification kit. Background Technology

[0002] A food purifier is a device that cleans food by placing it in a washing container along with the food. After the food purifier is submerged in washing water, it cleans the food by producing ozone-containing electrolyzed water through electrolysis. While existing food purifiers can produce ozone-containing electrolyzed water through the electrolysis of electrode plates, the water has poor flowability, and food debris easily falls between the positive and negative electrodes, affecting the electrolysis effect. For example, a fruit and vegetable purifier with a built-in power supply (CN205547277U) has a perforated upper shell covering the electrode plates, providing some filtration and protection. However, this upper shell inevitably leads to poor flowability of the electrolyzed water, hindering its rapid distribution throughout the washing container. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art: to provide a food purifier and food purification kit, which can drive water flow through an impeller to improve the circulation of electrolyzed water, while the suspended electrode plates are not easily affected by food debris, thus improving the electrolysis effect.

[0004] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to provide a food purifier, which includes a housing with a sealed mounting cavity inside. The mounting cavity contains a controller, a battery for providing electrical energy, and a drive motor. The drive motor and the battery are electrically connected to the controller. The top of the housing has a receiving groove containing an electrolysis assembly. An impeller is located above the electrolysis assembly. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the top of the housing and is connected to the impeller to drive the impeller to rotate.

[0005] The electrolysis assembly includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are fixed to the housing and electrically connected to the controller inside the housing through their respective conductive posts. The positive electrode has several positive electrode branches suspended above the bottom of the receiving tank and extending horizontally toward the position of the negative electrode. The negative electrode has several negative electrode branches suspended above the bottom of the receiving tank and extending horizontally toward the position of the positive electrode. The positive electrode branches and the negative electrode branches are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0006] According to an example of the present invention, the positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode substrate, one end of which is fixed to the shell and electrically connected to the corresponding positive electrode conductive post, and the positive electrode substrate has a plurality of positive electrode branches integrally formed with the positive electrode substrate.

[0007] The negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode substrate, one end of which is fixed to the shell and electrically connected to the corresponding negative electrode conductive post. The negative electrode substrate has several negative electrode branches that are integrally formed with the negative electrode substrate.

[0008] Each negative electrode branch is located between its two adjacent positive electrode branches, so that all negative and positive electrode branches are staggered in the horizontal direction, and there is a gap between each negative electrode branch and its adjacent positive electrode branch.

[0009] According to one example of this utility model, both the positive and negative electrode branches are arc-shaped sheet structures.

[0010] According to an example of the present invention, the top of the housing is provided with a flow guide ring that is fitted around the electrolysis assembly. The lower end of the flow guide ring is connected to the housing. An inlet is formed between the outer edge of the impeller and the inner sidewall of the flow guide ring. The impeller is configured to drive the fluid in the receiving tank to flow outward axially.

[0011] According to one example of the present invention, the flow guide ring is detachably connected to the housing, and / or the electrolysis assembly is detachably connected to the housing, and / or the impeller is detachably connected to the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0012] According to one example of the present invention, a start / stop button is provided on the outer wall of the housing, the start / stop button is electrically connected to the controller, and the start / stop button is sealed to the housing at the connection point.

[0013] Therefore, another objective of this utility model is to provide a food purification kit, which includes a charging base, a wireless charging module and the aforementioned food purifier. The charging base matches the bottom of the housing in the food purifier. The wireless charging module includes a power supply coil arranged in the charging base and a power receiving coil arranged at the bottom of the housing.

[0014] According to one example of the present invention, the outer wall of the charging base has a power cord or power interface.

[0015] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: First, the impeller can drive the water flow in the cleaning container, allowing the ozone-containing electrolyzed water generated by the electrolysis plate to diffuse more quickly throughout the cleaning container; second, the electrode plates in the electrolysis assembly are suspended above the bottom of the receiving tank, so food debris will not remain in the gap between the positive and negative electrode plates and affect the electrolysis effect, thus maintaining a good electrolysis effect even after multiple uses; third, the guide ring and impeller can provide protection for the electrolysis plate, and since the water flow generated by the impeller is outward, the probability of food debris falling into the receiving tank is reduced; finally, the battery inside the casing is charged wirelessly, thus maintaining good airtightness of the casing cavity.

[0016] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, details the food purifier and food purification kit according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] This utility model provides a food purifier, as shown in the figure. It includes a housing 1 with a sealed mounting cavity inside. The mounting cavity of the housing 1 is equipped with a controller 2, a battery 3 for providing power, and a drive motor 4. The drive motor 4 and the battery 3 are electrically connected to the controller 2. The top of the housing 1 has a receiving groove 5, in which an electrolysis component is installed. An impeller 6 is installed above the electrolysis component. The output shaft 4.1 of the drive motor 4 passes through the top of the housing 1 and is connected to the impeller 6 to drive the impeller 6 to rotate.

[0031] The controller 2 in the above embodiment includes a circuit board and a chip disposed on the circuit board. The control circuit composed of the chip and various components on the circuit board is collectively referred to as controller 2. Controller 2 is a conventional controller used in various household appliances. Therefore, its structure and model will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0032] The receiving groove 5 is preferably an upward-facing groove formed by the indentation of the outer side wall at the top of the housing 1.

[0033] Preferably, the housing 1 includes an upper housing and a lower housing, which together form a sealed mounting cavity, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the upper housing and the lower housing.

[0034] Based on the preferred embodiment described above, see [reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the electrolysis assembly includes a positive electrode 7 and a negative electrode 8. The positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 8 are fixed to the housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller 2 inside the housing 1 through their respective conductive posts. Specifically, the positive electrode 7 is connected to the positive terminal of the control circuit, and the negative electrode 8 is connected to the negative terminal of the control circuit. The positive electrode 7 has several positive electrode branches 7.2 suspended above the bottom of the receiving tank 5 and extending horizontally toward the position of the negative electrode 8. The negative electrode 8 has several negative electrode branches 8.2 suspended above the bottom of the receiving tank 5 and extending horizontally toward the position of the positive electrode 7. The positive electrode branches 7.2 and the negative electrode branches 8.2 are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0035] Preferably, the positive electrode 7 includes a positive electrode substrate 7.1, one end of which is fixed to the housing 1 and electrically connected to the corresponding positive electrode conductive post 9. The positive electrode substrate 7.1 has several positive electrode branches 7.2 integrally formed with the positive electrode substrate 7.1. The negative electrode 8 includes a negative electrode substrate 8.1, one end of which is fixed to the housing 1 and electrically connected to the corresponding negative electrode conductive post 10. The negative electrode substrate 8.1 has several negative electrode branches 8.2 integrally formed with the negative electrode substrate 8.1. When the positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 8 are fixedly installed in the receiving groove 5, any negative electrode branch 8.2 on the negative electrode 8 is located between two adjacent positive electrode branches 7.2 on the positive electrode 7, and so on, so that all the negative electrode branches 8.2 and the positive electrode branches 7.2 are staggered in the horizontal direction, and a gap is left between any negative electrode branch 8.2 and the adjacent positive electrode branch 7.2. In this embodiment, the positive electrode branch 7.2 and the negative electrode branch 8.2 are not in direct contact, but there is a gap between adjacent positive electrode branches 7.2 and negative electrode branches 8.2. When the positive and negative electrodes are energized, the water between the positive electrode branch 7.2 and the negative electrode branch 8.2 can be electrolyzed to form the required ozone-containing electrolyzed water.

[0036] See Figure 10 As shown, both the positive electrode branch 7.2 and the negative electrode branch 8.2 are arc-shaped sheet structures.

[0037] Based on the preferred embodiment described above, see [reference]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top of the housing 1 is provided with a guide ring 11 that fits around the electrolysis assembly. The guide ring 11 has an annular structure, and its lower end is connected to the housing 1. The outer edge of the impeller 6 and the inner wall of the guide ring 11 form an inlet 12 that allows water to flow into the receiving tank 5. The impeller 6 is configured to drive the fluid in the receiving tank 5 to flow outward axially. Preferably, the impeller 6 is an axial flow impeller. The output shaft 4.1 of the drive motor 4 drives the impeller 6 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the electrolyzed water in the receiving tank 5 to flow outward axially. At the same time, the negative pressure generated by the electrolyzed water flowing out of the receiving tank 5 causes the external water to flow back into the receiving tank 5 from the inlet 12, ultimately forming a water circulation. In this embodiment, since the water flow generated by the impeller is outward, the food is less likely to touch the impeller under the influence of the water flow. At the same time, due to the presence of the guide ring 11, the food is also less likely to touch the impeller 6 from the side. The guide ring 11 and the impeller 6 are covered outside the electrolysis assembly, which plays a role in filtration and protection.

[0038] Preferably, the flow guide ring 11 is detachably connected to the housing 1. Specifically, see... Figure 9As shown, the lower end of the guide ring 11 is provided with an L-shaped slot 17, and the inner wall of the receiving groove 5 is provided with a buckle 18 that matches the slot 17. When the guide ring 11 is inserted vertically downward into the receiving groove 5 until it abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 5 and then rotates clockwise in the circumferential direction, the buckle 18 is engaged with the slot 17.

[0039] Furthermore, the lower end face of the crossbar portion of the L-shaped structure of the buckle 18 has an arc-shaped protrusion 18.1, and the inner wall of the slot 17 has an inwardly recessed arc-shaped recess corresponding to the arc-shaped protrusion 18.1. The arc-shaped protrusion 18.1 is located in the arc-shaped recess, and the arc-shaped protrusion 18.1 can be kept in the arc-shaped recess by its own elastic restoring force. Only when the guide ring 11 is subjected to a large reversing force can it overcome the elastic restoring force of the arc-shaped protrusion 18.1 and disengage from the arc-shaped recess. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped protrusion 18.1 is made of plastic.

[0040] Preferably, the electrolysis assembly is detachably connected to the housing 1. Specifically, the positive electrode substrate 7.1 of the positive electrode 7 has mounting holes and positioning holes. The mounting holes are fixed and electrically connected to the positive electrode conductive post 9 by conductive bolts, while the positioning holes fit over the positioning protrusions on the housing, thus completing the installation of the positive electrode 7. When maintenance or replacement is required, the positive electrode 7 can be removed simply by unscrewing the conductive bolts. Similarly, the negative electrode substrate 8.1 of the negative electrode 8 has mounting holes and positioning holes. The mounting holes are fixed and electrically connected to the negative electrode conductive post 10 by another conductive bolt, while the positioning holes fit over the positioning protrusions on the housing, thus completing the installation of the negative electrode 8. When maintenance or replacement is required, the negative electrode 8 can be removed simply by unscrewing the conductive bolts.

[0041] Preferably, the impeller 6 is detachably connected to the output shaft 4.1 of the drive motor 4. The impeller 6 is sleeved on the end of the output shaft 4.1 from top to bottom and is tightly fitted with the output shaft 4.1. A bushing 19 is provided between the impeller 6 and the output shaft 4.1.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the housing 1 is provided with a start / stop button 13, which is electrically connected to the controller 2, and the connection between the start / stop button 13 and the housing 1 is sealed. The start / stop button 13 has an open state and a closed state, which are switched by pressing the start / stop button 13. The controller 2 responds to the pressing action of the start / stop button 13 by cutting off or restoring the power supply, so that the electrolysis component and the drive motor 4 are turned on or off synchronously.

[0043] Based on the food purifier in the above embodiments, this utility model provides a food purification kit, which includes a charging base 14, a wireless charging module 15, and the aforementioned food purifier. The charging base 14 matches the bottom of the housing 1 in the food purifier, so that the bottom of the housing 1 can rest on the charging base 14. The wireless charging module 15 includes a power supply coil 15.1 arranged in the charging base 14 and a power receiving coil 15.2 arranged at the bottom of the housing 1. The power supply coil 15.1 and the power receiving coil 15.2 transmit electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction. The wireless charging principle of the wireless charging module 15 is a conventional technology, therefore, the specific structure of the power supply coil 15.1 and the power receiving coil 15.2 in the wireless charging module 15 will not be described in detail.

[0044] Preferably, the outer wall of the charging base 14 has a power cord (not shown) or a power interface 16. The power cord (not shown) or power interface 16 is electrically connected to an external power source to supply power to the power supply coil 15.1, and enables the power supply coil 15.1 to supply power to the power receiving coil 15.2 in a wireless charging manner, and finally charges the battery 3 inside the housing 1 through the power receiving coil 15.2.
