Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of domestic water treatment technology, specifically to an electrolysis generator and hot water equipment for supplementing minerals. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most common bath water comes from municipal tap water, which is supplied to users after simple filtration and heating. After treatment, tap water has a low mineral content. As people's demand for a healthy and comfortable bathing experience increases, traditional bath water is unable to meet people's mineral needs. A patent document with Chinese application number 202011561412.4 and publication date of May 28, 2021 discloses a health energy water generating device. The device includes inlet and outlet water pipes and an electrode module. A micro battery device and a micro electrode module are provided on the inlet and outlet water pipes. The micro battery device is composed of a negative potential alloy material.

[0003] The device replenishes mineral elements through a micro-battery device composed of alloy materials. The alloy materials and the micro-battery device are integrated and cannot be replaced. As the micro-battery device is used, the mineral element content decreases, thus preventing the water from being replenished with mineral elements. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electrolytic generator and hot water equipment for replenishing minerals. The detachable connection between the cover plate and the filter body allows for adjustment of the type and quantity of minerals and convenient replacement of minerals. While replenishing the mineral content of the water, it also increases the ion concentration of the water, and through water electrolysis, it enhances the hydrogen and oxygen content of the water.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution used in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The present invention discloses an electrolytic generator for supplementing minerals, comprising a shell, a mineral filter element, and an electrode module. The shell is connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, the electrode module is connected to the shell, and the mineral filter element is disposed in the shell. The mineral filter element includes a cover plate and a filter element body; the cover plate and the filter element body are detachably connected, the filter element body contains minerals, and the filter element body is connected to the shell.

[0007] Preferably, a UV sterilization module is installed in the water outlet pipe, which is used to sterilize the water.

[0008] Preferably, the filter element body includes a base, and the side wall of the base has an opening communicating with the outer shell; a filter screen covering the opening is provided in the base.

[0009] Preferably, an installation groove is provided on the inner side wall of the base, and the filter screen is embedded in the installation groove.

[0010] Preferably, a protrusion is provided on the inner side of the base sidewall, the protrusion protruding upward from the base surface; an installation groove is formed between the protrusion and the base sidewall.

[0011] Preferably, the cover is detachably disposed at one end of the housing and is sealed to the housing. The cover has a first extension in the direction close to the housing. The first extension is embedded inside the housing and is detachably connected to the filter element body.

[0012] Preferably, the electrode module is detachably mounted at the other end of the housing and is sealed to the housing.

[0013] This utility model also provides a hot water device, including an electrolysis generator for replenishing minerals.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the mineral-supplementing electrolysis generator described in this utility model are mainly reflected in:

[0015] Electrolysis of water via electrode modules increases the hydrogen and oxygen content; mineral filters replenish the water's mineral content; the cover plate and filter body are detachably connected, facilitating mineral replacement. When mineral content decreases, replacement allows for timely replenishment; the detachable placement of minerals within the filter body allows for adjustment of their type and quantity, increasing ion concentration and thus improving electrolysis efficiency, further enhancing the hydrogen and oxygen content of the water.

[0016] By setting up a UV sterilization module, the water is sterilized and bacteria are killed. At the same time, the organic matter content in the water is reduced, and the generation of odors is reduced, resulting in a better user experience.

[0017] Within the filter cartridge body, openings allow communication between the outer shell and the minerals inside, thus replenishing the mineral content when the filter cartridge body is immersed in water. Simultaneously, a filter screen prevents minerals from detaching from the base. The filter screen is secured using mounting slots. A protrusion that engages with the side wall of the base further ensures good stability and secures the filter screen.

[0018] The cover plate enables a detachable connection between the mineral filter element and the outer shell, while the electrode module is also detachably connected to the outer shell. This makes the assembly and disassembly of the mineral filter element and the electrode module simple and convenient to use.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the hot water equipment described in this utility model are mainly reflected in: improving the bathing experience of the hot water equipment; at the same time, when the electrolysis generator is used in the hot water equipment, the electrolysis efficiency of the water is improved due to the influence of temperature, thereby further increasing the hydrogen and oxygen content in the water.

[0020] This invention achieves adjustment of the type and quantity of minerals and facilitates mineral replacement through a detachable connection between the cover plate and the filter element body; while replenishing the mineral element content of the water, it increases the ion concentration of the water, and through water electrolysis, it enhances the hydrogen and oxygen content of the water.

[0030] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other element, or there may be an intervening element present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this invention are for illustrative purposes only.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] An electrolytic generator for supplementing minerals includes a housing 1, a mineral filter element 2, and an electrode module 3. The housing 1 is connected to an inlet pipe 11 and an outlet pipe 12. The electrode module 3 is connected to the housing 1. The mineral filter element 2 is disposed within the housing 1. The mineral filter element 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a filter element body 22. The cover plate 21 and the filter element body 22 are detachably connected. The filter element body 22 contains minerals 23 and is in communication with the housing 1. Preferably, the minerals 23 can be zinc, silicon, strontium, calcium, magnesium, or other minerals.

[0033] Electrolysis of water is performed through electrode module 3 to increase the hydrogen and oxygen content of the water; mineral filter element 2 is used to replenish the mineral 23 content of the water; the cover plate 21 is detachably connected to the filter element body 22 to facilitate the replacement of mineral 23. When the element content of mineral 23 decreases, the mineral 23 is replaced in time to replenish the mineral 23 content of the water; since mineral 23 is detachably housed in the filter element body 22, the type and quantity of mineral 23 can be adjusted, which can increase the ion concentration of the water, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency and further increasing the hydrogen and oxygen content of the water.

[0034] The filter element body 22 includes a base 221 and a filter screen 222. The side wall of the base 221 has an opening 223 communicating with the outer casing 1, and the filter screen 222 covers the opening 223. A protrusion 224 is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the base 221, protruding upwards from the surface of the base 221. An installation groove 225 is formed between the protrusion 224 and the side wall of the base 221, and the filter screen 222 is embedded in the installation groove 225. The opening 223 allows communication between the outer casing 1 and the minerals 23 within the filter element body 22, thereby replenishing the mineral content when the filter element body 22 is immersed in water. Simultaneously, the filter screen 222 prevents the minerals 23 from detaching from the base 221. The installation groove 225 fixes the filter screen 222, achieving installation. The protrusion 224 cooperates with the side wall of the base 221 to fix the filter screen 222, resulting in good stability.

[0035] The cover plate 21 is detachably disposed at one end of the outer shell 1 and is sealed to the outer shell 1. The cover plate 21 has a first extension 210 extending towards the outer shell 1. The first extension 210 is embedded inside the outer shell 1 and is detachably connected to the filter element body 22. A sealing strip 5 is fitted on the first extension 210. In a preferred embodiment, a buckle 211 is provided on the cover plate 21, and a hook 24 is provided on the outer shell 1 of the filter element body 22. The cover plate 21 and the filter element body 22 are detachably connected by the hook 24 and the buckle 211.

[0036] The electrode module 3 is detachably mounted at the other end of the outer casing 1 and is sealed to the outer casing 1. The electrode module 3 has a second extension 30 extending towards the outer casing 1, which is embedded inside the outer casing 1. A sealing strip 5 is fitted onto the second extension 30. A detachable cover plate 21 is provided to achieve a detachable connection between the mineral filter element 2 and the outer casing 1. At the same time, the electrode module 3 is also detachably connected to the outer casing 1. This makes the assembly and disassembly of the mineral filter element 2 and the electrode module 3 simple and convenient to use.

[0037] Preferably, a first threaded hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the top of the outer casing 1, and a second threaded hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the bottom of the outer casing 1; a first through hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first threaded hole is provided on the cover plate 21, and a second through hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the second threaded hole is provided on the electrode module 3; the bolt 6 passes through the first through hole and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole, and the bolt 6 passes through the second through hole and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole, thus realizing a detachable connection between the cover plate 21 and the outer casing 1, and between the electrode module 3 and the outer casing 1.

[0038] Preferably, the output end of the water outlet pipe 12 is equipped with a valve (not shown in the figure). The valve is used to control the water flow output from the electrolysis generator. By reducing the water flow rate, the soaking time of the minerals 23 in the water is increased, further increasing the ion concentration in the water and further improving the electrolysis efficiency. The valve is a ball valve.

[0039] Preferably, a UV sterilization module 4 is installed in the water outlet pipe 12. The UV sterilization module 4 is used to sterilize the water. By setting the UV sterilization module 4 to sterilize the water and kill bacteria, the organic matter content in the water can be reduced, and the generation of odors can be reduced, resulting in a better user experience.

[0040] In this embodiment, electrode module 3 is an electrode module 3 with electrode plates (not shown in the figure), which electrolyzes the water; UV sterilization module 4 is a UV sterilization module 4 with UVC lamp beads (not shown in the figure). Electrode module 3 and UV sterilization module 4 are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] A hot water device includes an electrolysis generator for replenishing minerals 23. The cold water inlet pipe of the hot water device is connected to the inlet pipe 11 of the electrolysis generator, and the outlet pipe 12 of the electrolysis generator is connected to the inlet of the inner tank of the hot water device. Cold water is treated by the electrolysis generator and then fed into the inner tank of the hot water device. The electrolysis generator in the hot water device enhances the bathing experience; simultaneously, when the electrolysis generator is used in the hot water device, the electrolysis efficiency of the water is increased due to temperature variations, thereby further increasing the hydrogen and oxygen content of the water.
