For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, a first feature is "on" or "under" a second feature, which can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

In addition, a person skilled in the art can combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in the specification and the features of different embodiments or examples without contradiction.
[0050] In the related art, the multi-point ion technology is a technology for purifying air, inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria and viruses by releasing a large number of positive and negative ions. Positive and negative ions are oxygen molecules with electric charge, which can combine with pollutants in the air (such as dust, bacteria, viruses, odor molecules, etc.), so as to make them settle or be decomposed, thereby achieving the effect of purifying air. The multi-point ion technology is uniformly distributed in space through multiple release points, ensuring the comprehensiveness and efficiency of air purification.
[0051] However, since the positive and negative ions released by the multi-point ion generator cannot be observed by the naked eye, users and consumers cannot intuitively feel whether the technology is turned on or works. In some solutions, smoke is generated by burning electronic cigarette oil, and the smoke is settled by negative ion neutralization, which demonstrates the technical effect, but the smoke generation method is complex, and the oil sediment adheres to the inner wall of the device and is difficult to clean.
[0052] The multi-point ion technology is a sterilization and odor removal technology that generates high-concentration positive and negative ion groups through multiple ion release points, and uses the oxidation-reduction reaction to destroy bacterial cell membranes, decompose odor molecules, and inhibit microbial activity. To overcome the technical problems of lack of explicit means and poor visual effect of the multi-point ion technology, the embodiments of the present application provide an ion explicit demonstration device and a refrigeration device. The following will be described in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-6 drawings.
[0053] The ion dominance demonstration device provided in this application embodiment is referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a housing 100, an ion generator 200, a water inlet tank 300, and an electrostatic generator 400. The ion generator 200 is disposed on the housing 100, the water inlet tank 300 is disposed on the top of the housing 100, and the water inlet tank 300 is used to generate water flow 310. The electrostatic generator 400 is located below the water inlet tank 300 and is disposed corresponding to the water flow 310, and is used to deflect the water flow 310.
[0054] It is understood that in this embodiment, the housing 100 is the supporting structure and protective shell of the entire device, and the housing 100 has an installation space inside for installing other components. The water inlet tank 300 is located at the top of the housing 100, and the bottom of the water inlet tank 300 may be provided with a drain outlet. When the drain outlet is opened, the water in the water inlet tank 300 can flow out from the drain outlet and fall to form a water flow 310.
[0055] The electrostatic generator 400 is located below the water inlet tank 300, corresponding to the path of the water flow 310. The function of the electrostatic generator 400 is to generate an electrostatic field that attracts the water flow 310, causing it to deflect. The ion generator 200 is installed inside the housing 100 to generate positive and negative ions and release them into the internal space of the device.
[0056] When the equipment starts, the water inlet tank 300 begins to release water, forming a visible water stream 310. When the electrostatic generator 400 is not activated, the water stream 310 falls vertically under the influence of gravity. When the electrostatic generator 400 starts working and the ion generator 200 is not working, the generated electrostatic field exerts a force on the water stream 310, causing it to deflect. The degree of deflection depends on the strength of the electrostatic field and the characteristics of the water stream 310. After the ion generator 200 is activated, it releases positive and negative ions. The released ions interact with the electrostatic field generated by the electrostatic generator 400, gradually neutralizing the electrostatic field.
[0057] As the electrostatic field weakens, its deflecting effect on the water flow 310 also decreases. When the electrostatic field is completely neutralized, the water flow 310 will return to its original flow state.
[0058] refer to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a corresponds to both the electrostatic generator 400 and the ion generator 200 being turned off; b corresponds to the electrostatic generator 400 being turned on and the ion generator 200 being turned off; c corresponds to both the electrostatic generator 400 and the ion generator 200 being turned on; d corresponds to the electrostatic generator 400 being turned off and the ion generator 200 being turned on.
[0059] By observing the deflection and recovery process of the water flow 310, the user can intuitively see the effect of the positive and negative ion neutralization electrostatic field, and this visual display makes the abstract ion concept specific and tangible. The traditional ion generating device 200 is difficult for the user to judge whether it is working normally because the ions are invisible. The demonstration device enhances the user's trust in the ion generating device 200 through intuitive visual effects, and improves the visualization effect of the ion generating device 200.
[0060] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the shell 100 is provided with a water storage tank 500, and the water storage tank 500 is provided with a water inlet 510, and the water flow 310 is adapted to enter the water storage tank 500 through the water inlet 510. In this embodiment, the water storage tank 500 is used to store the water flow 310 released by the water inlet tank 300 during the visual demonstration process, so as to avoid water overflow or leakage and improve the safety performance of the device.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the water storage tank 500 is provided with a drain 520, and the drain 520 is connected to the water inlet tank 300 through a pipeline.
[0062] In this embodiment, the water storage tank 500 is provided with a drain 520 for discharging excess water or water generated during the demonstration process. The position and size of the drain 520 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure smooth discharge of the water flow 310. Through the connection of the drain 520 and the pipeline, the excess water in the water storage tank 500 can be guided back to the water inlet tank 300, realizing the recycling of water resources. This design reduces the demand for fresh water sources.
[0063] In some embodiments, in order to realize the effective recycling of water resources, an automatic control system can be arranged to monitor the water level of the water storage tank 500 and the water inlet tank 300. When the water level of the water storage tank 500 is too high, the automatic control system can start the drainage process to discharge the excess water to the water inlet tank 300; when the water level of the water inlet tank 300 is too low, the automatic control system can start the water replenishment process to supplement the water source from the water storage tank 500.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the top of the shell 100 is provided with a water inlet, and the water inlet corresponds to the water inlet tank 300, so as to facilitate the user to add water to the water inlet tank 300 when needed.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, the shell 100 is provided with an observation window (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the water flow 310.
[0066] It can be understood that the observation window is arranged at a position corresponding to the water flow 310 of the shell 100, so as to ensure that the user can clearly observe the flow of the water flow 310. The position and size of the observation window can be reasonably designed according to the structure of the shell 100 and the needs of the user, and the embodiment is not limited specifically. Exemplarily, the observation window can be formed by installing transparent glass or transparent plastic at a specific position of the shell 100. Through the observation window, the user can monitor the running state of the water flow 310 in real time, including the flow direction, flow rate and deflection of the water flow 310 and the like.
[0067] In an optional embodiment, the water inlet box 300 is arranged on the shell 100, and the water inlet box 300 is arranged on the shell 100. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the water inlet box 300 is arranged with a water inlet switch 320, and the water inlet switch 320 is arranged with an adjusting knob to adjust the size of the water flow 310.
[0068] Optionally, the water outlet of the water inlet box 300 is arranged with the water inlet switch 320 for controlling the on-off of the water flow 310. The adjusting knob is connected to the water inlet switch 320, and by rotating the knob, the user can finely adjust the size of the water flow 310.
[0069] The design of the water inlet switch 320 is similar to that of an acid burette, and by manual adjustment, fine control of the water flow 310 can be achieved. This design allows the water flow 310 to be adjusted from a very fine drop to a continuous fine stream, facilitating observation of the deflection effect of the water flow 310 under the action of static electricity. By adjusting the size of the water flow 310 through the knob, the user can observe the deflection degree of the water flow 310 under the action of static electricity at different flow rates, and select a water flow 310 with a suitable flow rate for demonstration.
[0070] In an optional embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 1 and Figure 4 The static electricity generating device 400 and the ion generating device 200 are arranged opposite to each other, and the static electricity generating device 400 and the ion generating device 200 are respectively located on two sides of the water flow 310.
[0071] It can be understood that the ion concentration is higher near the ion generating device 200, so that the static electricity generating device 400 and the ion generating device 200 are arranged opposite to each other, which is beneficial to better neutralize the static electricity generated by the static electricity generating device 400, improve the neutralization efficiency, and the user can observe the rectification process of the deflection of the water flow 310 more quickly, and enhance the demonstration effect.
[0072] In an optional embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the housing 100 is provided with a first mounting bracket 110 and a second mounting bracket 120, the electrostatic generating device 400 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 110, and the ion generating device 200 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 120. The first mounting bracket 110 and the second mounting bracket 120 are fixed in the interior of the housing 100, and provide a stable mounting platform for the electrostatic generating device 400 and the ion generating device 200, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the equipment.
[0073] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrostatic generating device 400 includes a motor 410, a first roller 420, a second roller 430, and a transmission belt 440, the first roller 420 is connected with the motor 410, and the transmission belt 440 connects the first roller 420 and the second roller 430, and is used to rub against the first roller 420 and the second roller 430 to generate static electricity.
[0074] Exemplarily, the first roller 420 and the second roller 430 can be plastic rollers, the first roller 420 is directly connected with the output shaft of the motor 410, and when the motor 410 rotates, the first roller 420 also rotates. The second roller 430 is oppositely arranged with the first roller 420 and is kept a certain distance, and the transmission belt 440 is an annular belt which connects the first roller 420 and the second roller 430. The transmission belt 440 can be made of a material with good friction properties, such as rubber or special composite material, and when the motor 410 is started, it drives the first roller 420 to rotate. Since the first roller 420 is in close contact with the transmission belt 440, the transmission belt 440 also moves.
[0075] The transmission belt 440 rubs against the surfaces of the first roller 420 and the second roller 430 during movement. According to the principle of frictional electrification, when two different materials rub against each other, electrons will transfer from one object to another, thereby accumulating positive and negative charges on the surfaces of the two objects, respectively. In this embodiment, the friction between the transmission belt 440 and the rollers causes the separation and accumulation of charges, thereby generating static electricity on the rollers and the transmission belt 440, and the generated static electricity can deflect the water flow 310 released from the water tank 300.
[0076] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the ion generating device 200 includes a power supply module 210, a first electrode 220, and a second electrode 230, the first electrode 220 and the second electrode 230 are both connected with the power supply module 210 to generate positive and negative ions, and the first electrode 220 and the second electrode 230 are both provided with a carbon brush 240.
[0077] In the embodiment, the power module 210 can be used to convert 220V mains or 12V DC into high-frequency pulse or DC high-voltage electricity, and adjust the frequency and power of the output electricity as needed to prevent overload or excessive ozone production. The first electrode 220 and the second electrode 230 are separately arranged to generate positive and negative ions, respectively. A carbon brush 240 is arranged on each electrode, which is usually made of carbon fiber and has excellent conductivity and wear resistance.
[0078] Optionally, the tip of the carbon brush 240 is designed in a small discharge needle shape, which can enhance the corona effect and release ions more efficiently.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 1 and Figure 6 The ion-dominant demonstration device further includes an electric control system 600 arranged in the housing 100 and configured to provide power for the electrostatic generating device 400 and the ion generating device 200; a first control button 610 connected to the electric control system 600 and the electrostatic generating device 400 to control the start and stop of the electrostatic generating device 400; and a second control button 620 connected to the electric control system 600 and the ion generating device 200 to control the start and stop of the ion generating device 200.
[0080] By arranging two independent control buttons, the user can conveniently control the start and stop of the electrostatic generating device 400 and the ion generating device 200 without complex operation procedures.
