[0002] A dishwasher is a device that can automatically clean tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives and forks. To prevent limescale buildup in the inner tank, dishwashers on the market are equipped with water softeners to soften the incoming water. This is mainly done using special salt. However, this special salt is a consumable and needs to be added regularly. Even if the water is softened, there is still the problem of residual salt residue after the tableware is washed.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

The controller is electrically connected to the electronic magnesium rod and the water quality sensor. The electronic magnesium rod is inserted into the interior of the water tank body. The water quality sensor is used to identify the water hardness of the water stored in the water tank body. The electronic magnesium rod works according to the water hardness identified by the water quality sensor.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the top or side of the water tank body is provided with a water inlet, and the bottom of the water tank body is provided with a water outlet and the water quality sensor.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, a flow meter is provided on the main body of the water tank, with the input end of the flow meter connected to the main body of the water tank and the output end of the flow meter connected to the outlet.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the water tank body is provided with an installation port that communicates with the interior of the water tank body, and the electronic magnesium rod is connected to the installation port and the detection end is extended into the interior of the water tank body through the installation port.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the mounting port is provided with an external threaded connection structure, the electronic magnesium rod has a mounting base, and the mounting base is provided with an internal threaded structure that mates with the external threaded structure.

[0010] This utility model also provides a dishwasher, which includes the water tank described above.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: water tanks using electronic magnesium rods have no chemical additives, electronic magnesium rods can be used for a long time without the need to add water softening salt, which is environmentally friendly and avoids chemical consumables remaining in tableware; it can also play an antibacterial auxiliary role, the magnesium ions released by the electronic magnesium rod during operation can not only prevent scale, but also destroy the cell membranes of some bacteria, such as E. coli; in addition, the lifespan of electronic magnesium rods can reach 2-3 years.

[0014] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1-2 This application provides a water tank with descaling function, comprising a water tank body 1, an electronic magnesium rod 2, a water quality sensor 3, and a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the electronic magnesium rod 2 and the water quality sensor 3. The electronic magnesium rod 2 extends into the water tank body 1. The water quality sensor 3 is used to identify the water hardness of the water stored in the water tank body 1. The electronic magnesium rod 2 operates according to the water hardness identified by the water quality sensor 3. Specifically, the anti-scaling principle of the electronic magnesium rod is mainly based on electrochemical action and magnesium ion release. By changing the crystal morphology of scale (mainly calcium carbonate), it makes it less likely to adhere to the inner surface of the tank, thereby achieving the anti-scaling effect. When water enters the dishwasher water tank, the water quality sensor automatically identifies the water hardness and transmits the signal to the controller. The controller adjusts the electrolytic current of the electronic magnesium rod according to the water quality information transmitted by the water quality sensor, thereby releasing an appropriate amount of magnesium ions to improve the water quality.

[0016] Specifically, the water tank body 1 of this solution is provided with an inlet 4 on the top or side, and an outlet 5 and the water quality sensor 3 are provided at the bottom of the water tank body 1.

[0017] The water tank body 1 is equipped with a flow meter 6. The input end of the flow meter is connected to the water tank body 1, and the output end of the flow meter is connected to the water outlet 5. The flow meter is set on the water outlet path to facilitate the recording of water output.

[0018] The water tank body 1 is provided with an installation port, which communicates with the interior of the water tank body 1. The electronic magnesium rod 2 is connected to the installation port and the detection end is inserted into the interior of the water tank body 1 through the installation port, so that it can be disassembled and replaced when the electronic magnesium rod is damaged or malfunctions. Specifically, the installation port is provided with an external threaded connection structure, and the electronic magnesium rod has a mounting base 7. The mounting base is provided with an internal threaded structure that mates with the external threaded structure. The electronic magnesium rod is installed by means of a threaded connection, which has the advantages of easy installation and disassembly, and the threaded connection has good sealing performance, which can achieve a waterproof effect.

[0019] This solution also provides a dishwasher, which includes the water tank described above.
