Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and more specifically to an electrolysis component, an electrolysis device, and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The garment processing equipment is equipped with an electrolysis device to decompose water, which can generate hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, which have strong oxidizing activity. This allows for sterilization and disinfection during the garment processing, and also increases the washing ratio, prevents color bleeding, bleaching white clothes, and provides other garment processing effects such as drum cleaning.

[0003] In related technologies, the electrolysis unit is placed inside the treatment chamber of the treatment cylinder. When the water level is higher than the electrolysis unit, the electrolysis unit electrolyzes in a static state, resulting in low electrolysis efficiency. When the electrolysis unit in the related technologies is placed in the inlet water flow path, because the water is in a flowing state, the fluid has difficulty entering the main reaction area of ​​the electrolysis unit, resulting in low electrolysis efficiency and few electrolysis products. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure propose an electrolysis assembly capable of overcurrent electrolysis and with high electrolysis efficiency.

[0006] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides an electrolysis apparatus.

[0007] Another embodiment of this disclosure provides a garment processing device.

[0008] The electrolysis assembly of this disclosure includes:

[0009] First electrode plate;

[0010] Second electrode plate;

[0011] An electrolytic membrane, wherein the electrolytic membrane is sandwiched between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet;

[0012] The first electrode sheet, the electrolytic membrane, and the second electrode sheet are stacked in a first direction to form a laminate, which is used to be placed in the water inlet flow path of the clothing processing equipment to electrolyze the fluid in the water inlet flow path.

[0013] Wherein, the first electrode sheet is provided with a first water passage hole through the first direction, the portion of the electrolytic membrane corresponding to the first water passage hole constitutes a first water absorption portion, the portion of the electrolytic membrane in contact with the first electrode sheet constitutes a first reaction portion, and / or, the second electrode sheet is provided with a second water passage hole through the first direction, the portion of the electrolytic membrane corresponding to the second water passage hole constitutes a second water absorption portion, the portion of the electrolytic membrane in contact with the second electrode sheet constitutes a second reaction portion.

[0014] In this embodiment, the fluid in the circumferential direction of the electrolysis component can directly contact the electrolysis membrane and diffuse to the first and second reaction sections. Simultaneously, it can also directly contact the first and second water-absorbing sections in the middle of the electrolysis membrane through the first and second water-passing holes and diffuse to the first and second reaction sections. This results in a more uniform and consistent fluid distribution at different locations on the electrolysis membrane, improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component. This ensures that the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component matches the flow rate parameters of the fluid in the inlet flow path of the clothing processing equipment. It avoids relying on methods such as reducing the fluid velocity in the inlet flow path to extend the inlet time or increasing the volume of the electrolysis component to meet the demand for electrolytic products during clothing processing. This embodiment improves overcurrent electrolysis efficiency and has better practicality.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first absorbent portion and the second absorbent portion are located on opposite sides of the electrolytic membrane in the first direction, and the projections of the first absorbent portion and the second absorbent portion in the first direction partially overlap; or the first absorbent portion and the second absorbent portion are the same size and shape and their projections in the first direction completely overlap.

[0016] This embodiment can coordinate the fluid diffusion rate and uniformity on the electrolytic membrane and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component by controlling the overlapping area of ​​the projected portions. This ensures that there is sufficient fluid in the electrolytic membrane of the electrolysis component to enable efficient electrolysis, avoiding the electrolysis efficiency being affected by slow fluid diffusion in the electrolytic membrane or by the electrolysis efficiency being affected by the small overlapping area of ​​the projections of the first reaction section and the second reaction section in the first direction. This results in a higher degree of matching between the flow parameters of the electrolysis component and the fluid in the inlet channel, providing sufficient electrolytic products for the clothing processing equipment and improving the performance of the clothing processing equipment.

[0017] When the first and second water-absorbing parts are the same size and shape and their projections in the first direction are completely overlapping, it is not only convenient to manufacture and assemble, but also simpler in structure. The fluid in the first water passage and the fluid in the second water passage can pass through the electrolytic membrane to achieve flow, which makes the dynamic flow speed of the fluid in the first and second water passages faster, which helps to improve the electrolysis efficiency and the outflow of electrolysis products, and can also reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the electrolysis component.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first area ratio of the area of ​​the first absorbent portion to the area of ​​the first reaction portion is greater than zero and less than one-ninth, and / or the second area ratio of the area of ​​the second absorbent portion to the area of ​​the second reaction portion is greater than zero and less than one-ninth.

[0019] This embodiment controls the first area ratio and / or the second area ratio within an effective range, enabling the electrolysis component to operate stably under a preset load condition. This avoids the need for the electrolysis component to operate under overload conditions to meet the demand for electrolytic products from the garment processing equipment. It also keeps the voltage and current of the electrolysis component within an effective range, preventing increased energy consumption, accelerated electrode corrosion, electrode polarization, or increased electrolytic side reactions due to excessive current or voltage. This ensures the normal and stable operation of all components of the electrolysis component and extends its service life.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first area ratio is greater than or equal to one-twentieth and less than or equal to two-twenty-fifths, and the second area ratio is greater than or equal to one-twentieth and less than or equal to two-twenty-fifths.

[0021] This embodiment further controls the parameters of the first area ratio and the second area ratio to ensure that the fluid diffuses evenly on the electrolytic membrane, improving the uniformity of fluid distribution on the electrolytic membrane, reducing the difference in fluid flow velocity at different locations on the electrolytic membrane, and ensuring that there is a sufficient area of ​​efficient electrolytic reaction region between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate. This allows the electrolytic component to operate within a stable load range, enabling more complete electrolysis of the fluid at different locations on the electrolytic membrane, timely discharge of electrolysis products, and timely replenishment of new fluid. Compared to parameters other than the first and second area ratios in this embodiment, the overall electrolysis efficiency is higher. Under the same electrolysis efficiency, the electrolytic component of this embodiment is smaller in size and has a higher degree of integration.

[0022] In some embodiments, the first area ratio is equal to the second area ratio.

[0023] In this embodiment, the fluid on the side of the first electrode sheet away from the second electrode sheet and the fluid on the side of the second electrode sheet away from the first electrode sheet can both come into contact with the electrolytic membrane. The fluid located at different circumferential positions of the electrolytic component in the water inlet flow path can better diffuse between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, thereby increasing the replacement rate of new fluid and electrolyzed fluid between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet.

[0024] In some embodiments, the electrolytic membrane has a membrane via penetrating the electrolytic membrane along the first direction.

[0025] In this embodiment, the membrane through-hole can be connected to the first water through-hole and the second water through-hole, so that the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis component in the first direction can flow freely through the first water through-hole, the membrane through-hole and the second water through-hole, thereby improving the flow effect of the fluid between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate. This is beneficial to the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component in the water inlet path, and allows the fluid in the water inlet path to enter the processing chamber of the clothing processing equipment at a higher flow rate and a larger flow rate, which helps to improve the water inlet efficiency of the clothing processing equipment.

[0026] In some embodiments, both the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet include a substrate and a conductive coating. The conductive coating is provided on the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet facing the second electrode sheet, and the conductive coating is provided on the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet facing the first electrode sheet.

[0027] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the first electrode sheet facing the second electrode sheet and the surfaces of the second electrode sheet facing the first electrode sheet are used as the main reaction areas. By applying a conductive coating, the charge transfer resistance can be reduced, while avoiding substrate exposure, thus improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly and increasing the electrolysis efficiency and service life of the first and second electrode sheets. Simultaneously, it can improve the oxidation and corrosion resistance of the electrode sheets during oxidation reactions.

[0028] In some embodiments, the conductive coating is a boron-doped diamond coating, and the thickness of the boron-doped diamond coating is less than 9 micrometers.

[0029] This embodiment, by controlling the thickness of the boron-doped diamond coating, can better control the coating quality, ensure the density and uniformity of the coating, reduce manufacturing costs and processing difficulty, avoid increasing side reactions during electrolysis, improve electrolysis efficiency, and optimize electrolysis products.

[0030] In some embodiments, one of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate is the anode, and the other of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate is the cathode, wherein the hydrogen evolution potential of the cathode is -1.1V to -0.56V. This optimizes the concentration of the target electrolytic product and the energy consumption of the electrolysis unit, making the operation of the electrolysis unit more stable.

[0031] In some embodiments, the thickness of either the first electrode sheet or the second electrode sheet in the first direction is less than 1.5 mm.

[0032] In this embodiment, by controlling the thickness of either the first electrode plate or the second electrode plate in the first direction to be less than 1.5 mm, the size of the electrolysis assembly in the first direction can be reduced, thereby reducing resistance and voltage drop, improving energy utilization efficiency, and allowing fluid to diffuse more easily through the first and second water passages to the space between the first and second electrode plates. This also facilitates the outflow of electrolysis products between the first and second electrode plates, reduces mass transfer resistance, fully utilizes the performance of the electrolysis assembly itself, and improves electrolysis efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, the effective area of ​​either the first electrode sheet or the second electrode sheet is greater than 1 square centimeter and less than 2 square centimeters.

[0034] This embodiment constrains the effective area of ​​the first and second electrode plates, enabling them to meet the application requirements of the garment processing equipment and match the space of the water inlet path. This results in a higher degree of matching between the fluid flow parameters in the water inlet path and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component, improving practicality and enhancing the compactness and integration of the electrolysis component.

[0035] In some embodiments, either the first electrode plate or the second electrode plate is plate-shaped with an aspect ratio greater than 1.3. This effectively ensures that the electrolysis assembly has a sufficient electrolysis area and allows fluid to better enter between the first and second electrode plates, reducing mass transfer resistance and improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency. In applications, the aspect ratio of the electrode plates can be adjusted to adapt to different models of garment processing equipment, thus improving practicality.

[0036] In some embodiments, the thickness of the electrolytic membrane in the first direction is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than 1 mm. This ensures the mechanical properties of the electrolytic membrane and the electrolytic efficiency during the electrolysis process, enabling the electrolytic assembly to perform the electrolytic reaction more efficiently and stably.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first electrode sheet is provided with a plurality of first water passage holes arranged at intervals between each other, and / or the second electrode sheet is provided with a plurality of second water passage holes arranged at intervals between each other. This allows fluid to directly contact the electrolytic membrane through the plurality of first and second water absorption portions in the middle of the electrolytic membrane, thereby diffusing more evenly and quickly to the first and second reaction portions of the electrolytic membrane. This results in a more uniform and consistent fluid distribution at different locations on the electrolytic membrane, improving electrolysis efficiency. It also ensures that the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolytic component matches the flow rate parameters of the fluid in the inlet flow path of the garment processing equipment, avoiding the need to extend the inlet time by reducing the fluid flow rate in the inlet flow path or increasing the volume of the electrolytic component to meet the demand for electrolytic products during garment processing.

[0038] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​a single first water passage is 1 to 10 square millimeters, and / or the cross-sectional area of ​​a single second water passage is 1 to 10 square millimeters. This allows the cross-sectional size of the water passage to be adapted to its diffusion range, preventing blockage and ensuring full utilization of the mass transfer performance of the first and second water passages, thereby improving the mass transfer efficiency of the fluid between the first and second electrode plates and increasing electrolysis efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of first water passages accounts for less than 10% of the effective area of ​​the first electrode sheet, and / or the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of second water passages accounts for less than 10% of the effective area of ​​the second electrode sheet. This allows the fluid to diffuse uniformly across the electrolytic membrane, improving the uniformity of fluid distribution on the electrolytic membrane, reducing the difference in fluid flow velocity at different locations on the electrolytic membrane, and ensuring sufficient space between the first and second electrode sheets for the electrolytic reaction. This allows the electrolytic assembly to operate within a stable load range, enabling more complete electrolysis of the fluid at different locations on the electrolytic membrane, timely discharge of electrolysis products, and timely replenishment of new fluid, resulting in high mass transfer efficiency. Under the same electrolysis efficiency, the electrolytic assembly of this embodiment is smaller in size and has a higher degree of integration.

[0040] In some embodiments, a plurality of first water passages on the first electrode plate and a plurality of second water passages on the second electrode plate are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence in the first direction. The first and second electrode plates are substantially the same in shape and size, and are highly interchangeable. This not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly but also simplifies the structure. The fluid in the first and second water passages can flow through the electrolytic membrane, resulting in faster dynamic flow rates of the fluid in the first and second water passages. This helps to improve electrolysis efficiency and the outflow of electrolysis products, leading to higher mass transfer efficiency. During the reversal operation, the anode and cathode of the first and second electrode plates are interchanged without affecting the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly, ensuring the stability and practicality of the electrolysis assembly.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a first end plate and a second end plate, the first end plate being disposed on the side of the first electrode sheet opposite to the second electrode sheet, and the second end plate being disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet opposite to the first electrode sheet, the first end plate and the second end plate clamping the laminate along the first direction.

[0042] The first end plate and the second end plate in this embodiment can protect the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet. At the same time, the laminate is clamped and fixed by the force applied to the first end plate and the second end plate along the first direction. This can disperse the force acting on the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, avoid excessive local stress concentration when the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet are directly subjected to force, and avoid damage or breakage of the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first end plate is provided with a first flow-through window, which penetrates the first end plate in the first direction and is connected to the first water passage hole; and / or the second end plate is provided with a second flow-through window, which penetrates the second end plate in the first direction and is connected to the second water passage hole. This prevents the first and second end plates from blocking fluid from entering the first and second water passage holes, making it easier for fluid to enter them.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first flow window occupies 5% to 80% of the area on the first end plate, and / or the second flow window occupies 5% to 80% of the area on the second end plate. This ensures that the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly in the first direction can enter the first and second water passages more smoothly, improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency. In addition, it can also protect the mechanical properties of the first and second end plates, improve the protective effect of the first and second end plates on the laminate, reduce the material usage of the first and second end plates, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0045] In some embodiments, the thickness of either the first end plate or the second end plate in the first direction is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 1.5 mm. This can optimize the volumetric dimensions of the electrolysis assembly, improve the matching degree between the cross-sectional dimensions of the electrolysis assembly and the inlet flow path, and allow the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly in the first direction to enter the first and second water passages more smoothly, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency. In addition, it can also ensure the mechanical properties of the first and second end plates, improve the protective effect of the first and second end plates on the laminate, reduce the material usage of the first and second end plates, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a first connecting component and a second connecting component. Both the first connecting component and the second connecting component pass through the laminate, the first end plate, and the second end plate along the first direction. Both the first connecting component and the second connecting component apply force to the first end plate and the second end plate along the first direction to clamp the laminate. The first connecting component is electrically connected to the first electrode sheet and electrically insulated from the second electrode sheet. The second connecting component is electrically connected to the second electrode sheet and electrically insulated from the first electrode sheet. The first electrode sheet, the electrolytic membrane, and the second electrode sheet are bonded together, facilitating the fixation of the electrolytic membrane, controlling the pressure between the first electrode sheet, the electrolytic membrane, and the second electrode sheet, ensuring the adhesion between the three components, improving the integration of the laminate, reducing the spacing between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, and improving electrolysis efficiency and effect. This embodiment simplifies the connection structure between components, improves the stability of the connection structure, and enhances practicality.

[0047] In some embodiments, the surface of the first electrode facing the electrolytic membrane is provided with a first water distribution slit connected to the first water passage, and / or the surface of the second electrode facing the electrolytic membrane is provided with a second water distribution slit connected to the second water passage. This can guide the fluid in the water passage to the area where the solid portions of the first and second electrode plates overlap, improving the fluid diffusion effect, making the fluid distribution between the first and second electrode plates more uniform and consistent, facilitating the entry of new fluid between the first and second electrode plates, and making it easier for electrolysis products to flow out, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water distribution slot is less than 1 square millimeter, and / or the cross-sectional area of ​​the second water distribution slot is less than 1 square millimeter. This allows the fluid in the first and second water outlets to diffuse more efficiently between the first and second electrode plates, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of ​​the first and second water outlets. This results in a larger area ratio of the first and second reaction portions on the electrolytic membrane, and improves the reaction efficiency of the electrolysis assembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first area ratio of the area of ​​the first absorbent portion to the area of ​​the first reaction portion is greater than or equal to one-fortieth and less than or equal to one-thirtieth, and / or the second area ratio of the area of ​​the second absorbent portion to the area of ​​the second reaction portion is greater than or equal to one-fortieth and less than or equal to one-thirtieth. The first area ratio and / or the second area ratio can be further optimized. Compared to an electrolysis assembly without water distribution slits, this embodiment can achieve a smaller first area ratio and / or second area ratio while maintaining the same electrolysis efficiency. This further optimizes the operating load of the electrolysis assembly, ensures that the electrolysis assembly operates under more ideal conditions, guarantees the normal and stable operation of all components of the electrolysis assembly, and improves the service life of the electrolysis assembly.

[0050] In some embodiments, each first water passage corresponds to a plurality of first water distribution slits arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first water passage, and / or each second water passage corresponds to a plurality of second water distribution slits arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second water passage. This ensures better uniformity of fluid diffusion in the circumference of the first and second water passages.

[0051] This disclosure also provides an electrolysis apparatus, comprising:

[0052] An outer casing, wherein the outer casing contains an electrolysis chamber;

[0053] An electrolysis assembly, wherein the electrolysis assembly is as described in any of the above embodiments, at least a portion of the electrolysis assembly is located within the electrolysis chamber, the electrolysis chamber being configured to communicate with the water inlet flow path of the garment processing equipment.

[0054] In this embodiment, the outer shell provides a stable electrolysis chamber for the electrolysis assembly, facilitating contact between the fluid and the electrolysis assembly, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and operational stability. In this embodiment, the fluid flowing into the electrolysis chamber can be electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly and then flow out, achieving electrolysis of the flowing fluid, improving electrolysis efficiency. The electrolysis device can electrolyze water during fluid flow, realizing flow-through electrolysis.

[0055] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electrolysis assembly located within the electrolysis chamber is suspended within the electrolysis chamber. This allows the electrolysis assembly to be fixed to the housing, while the first electrode plate, second electrode plate, electrolytic membrane, and other structures of the electrolysis assembly are suspended within the electrolysis chamber. A portion of the first connecting member is located outside the housing and forms a first terminal block, and a portion of the second connecting member is located outside the housing and forms a second terminal block. The electrolysis assembly of this embodiment is easy to install, ensuring sufficient spacing between the first and second electrode plates and the housing of the device, thus improving the stability of the current circuit and the reliability of the electrolysis assembly's operating performance.

[0056] In some embodiments, the housing has a liquid inlet port and a liquid outlet port, the liquid inlet port and the liquid outlet port being connected to the electrolysis chamber, and the liquid inlet port and the electrolysis assembly being at least partially offset in the axial direction of the liquid inlet port;

[0057] And / or, the liquid outlet port and the electrolysis assembly are at least partially misaligned in the axial direction of the liquid outlet port.

[0058] This design prevents the fluid flowing into the electrolysis chamber from directly impacting the electrolysis unit, thus avoiding damage or surface material shedding, and preventing contamination of the fluid. By misaligning the outlet port and the electrolysis unit, interference from the electrolysis unit during fluid discharge is reduced, flow resistance at the outlet port is lowered, improving fluid discharge efficiency and reducing fluid scouring of the electrolysis unit, thereby enhancing the stability of the fluid exiting the electrolysis chamber.

[0059] In some embodiments, the distance between the liquid inlet port and the liquid outlet port in the second direction is 25 mm to 50 mm, and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction. This satisfies the installation space requirements of the electrolysis assembly, while improving the stability of fluid flow within the electrolysis chamber, making the electrolysis assembly and housing more compact, and preventing direct impact of fluid on both ends of the electrolysis assembly in the second direction.

[0060] In some embodiments, the ratio of the length of either the first electrode plate or the second electrode plate to the distance between the inlet port and the outlet port in the second direction is greater than 70%, and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction. This increases the power density of the electrolysis device, reduces its size and installation space requirements while ensuring the concentration of the electrolyzed products meets the needs of the clothing processing equipment, thus improving its practicality.

[0061] In some embodiments, the ratio of the width of either the first electrode plate or the second electrode plate to the width of the electrolysis chamber is greater than 90%. This increases the power density of the electrolysis device, further reduces its size while ensuring the concentration of electrolyzed products meets the requirements of the clothing processing equipment, and reduces the space requirements for installation, thus improving practicality. Simultaneously, it optimizes the flow rate of fluid at different circumferential positions of the electrolysis component, improves the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber and the first and second electrode plates in the electrolysis component, and enhances electrolysis efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments, the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode and the second electrode to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolysis chamber is 10%-20%. This can further optimize the spatial layout between the electrolysis chamber and the electrolysis assembly, optimize the flow rate of fluid at different circumferential positions of the electrolysis assembly, improve the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber and the first and second electrode in the electrolysis assembly, and improve the electrolysis efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly includes a first end plate and a second end plate. The first end plate is disposed on the side of the first electrode sheet opposite to the second electrode sheet, and the second end plate is disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet opposite to the first electrode sheet. The first end plate and the second end plate clamp the laminate along the first direction. The ratio of the distance between the first end plate and the second end plate in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber is 10%-70%. This can further optimize the spatial layout of the electrolysis chamber and the electrolysis assembly in the first direction, optimize the flow parameters of the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly in the first direction, promote mass transfer between the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly in the first direction and the fluid in the first and second water passages, improve the mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber and the first and second electrode sheets in the electrolysis assembly, and improve the electrolysis efficiency.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first end plate is provided with a first flow window, which penetrates the first end plate in the first direction and is connected to the first water passage. And / or the second end plate is provided with a second flow window, which penetrates the second end plate in the first direction and is connected to the second water passage. In the first direction, at the first flow window and / or the second flow window, the ratio of the height of the electrolysis assembly to the height of the electrolysis chamber is greater than 50%. This allows fluid flowing through the ports of the first and second flow windows to more easily enter the first and second water passages, causing the fluid to converge towards the first and second flow windows. The ratio of the height of the electrolysis assembly to the height of the electrolysis chamber does not exceed 70%, thereby preventing the fluid from being unable to enter the first and second water passages due to excessive flow speed.

[0065] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides a garment processing device, including an electrolysis component or an electrolysis apparatus as described in any of the above embodiments. The electrolysis component or apparatus can be disposed within the pipeline between the water inlet valve and the processing chamber of the garment processing device. The fluid is electrolyzed using the electrolysis component or apparatus, and the electrolyzed fluid flows into the processing chamber, achieving flow-through electrolysis. This improves the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis apparatus, makes efficient use of the space within the casing, and enhances the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure.

[0066] In some embodiments, it also includes:

[0067] chassis;

[0068] A processing cylinder, wherein the processing cylinder is disposed within the housing and has a processing cavity;

[0069] A material box is disposed on the machine housing, and the electrolysis device is disposed on the top of the material box. The material box has an inlet channel and an outlet channel. The inlet channel is connected to the inlet port of the electrolysis device, and the outlet channel is connected to the outlet port of the electrolysis device.

[0070] In this embodiment of the garment processing equipment, the electrolysis device is no longer directly installed inside the processing drum, but rather positioned above the material box. This arrangement of the electrolysis device does not affect the welding of the material box, reduces the space occupied on the side of the material box, reduces the overall width of the material box, and facilitates the removal and maintenance of the entire material box. Electrolysis begins before water enters the processing chamber, achieving flow-through electrolysis and improving electrolysis efficiency. Simultaneously, it avoids contact between the electrolysis device and detergent, and prevents lint from the garments from adhering to the electrolysis device, thus preventing any impact on the electrolysis effect and further improving efficiency. Moreover, placing the electrolysis device on the material box outside the processing drum allows for efficient use of the internal space of the machine casing, improving layout rationality and structural compactness.

[0071] In some embodiments, the device further includes an inlet valve and a reversing valve, both of which are disposed within the housing. The electrolysis unit is located between the inlet valve and the reversing valve. The liquid inlet channel is connected to the inlet valve, and the liquid outlet channel is connected to the reversing valve.

[0072] There are multiple processing cylinders, and the multiple processing cylinders are connected to the reversing valve for switching the connection between the outlet of the electrolysis device and the processing chamber of the multiple processing cylinders.

[0073] In the clothing processing device of this embodiment, the electrolysis device is located outside the processing cylinder and between the water inlet valve and the reversing valve. The electrolyte after electrolysis can switch the flow direction of the electrolyte through the reversing valve to communicate with multiple processing cylinders respectively. Thus, the electrolytic substance can be delivered to different cylinders at different working stages, thereby improving practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0105] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of these embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0106] See Figures 1 to 13 The electrolysis assembly 10 of this embodiment includes a first electrode sheet 11, a second electrode sheet 12, and an electrolytic membrane 13.

[0107] An electrolytic membrane 13 is sandwiched between the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12. The first side of the electrolytic membrane 13 is attached to the first electrode sheet 11 in the first direction, and the second side of the electrolytic membrane 13 is attached to the second electrode sheet 12 in the first direction. This allows the first electrode sheet 11, the electrolytic membrane 13, and the second electrode sheet 12 to be stacked in the first direction as a laminate, as shown in the figure. The first electrode sheet 11 is located above the electrolytic membrane 13, and the second electrode sheet 12 is located below the electrolytic membrane 13. The electrolytic membrane 13 is used to separate the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12.

[0108] In this embodiment, the electrolytic membrane 13 is a proton exchange membrane. The electrolytic membrane 13 is non-conductive and can transfer protons, which can prevent the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 from short-circuiting and reduce the distance between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0109] The laminate is placed in the water inlet path of the garment processing equipment 1000 to electrolyze the fluid in the water inlet path.

[0110] When the electrolysis component 10 electrolyzes water, water molecules ionize to generate cations and anions. At least one of the cations and anions can migrate through the electrolysis membrane 13. For example, hydrogen ions can migrate through the electrolysis membrane 13, resulting in high-concentration cation regions and high-concentration anion regions forming on both sides of the electrolysis membrane 13 in the first direction, respectively. In application, one of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 serves as the anode, and the other as the cathode. Electrolysis products such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone with strong oxidizing activity are generated on the surface of the anode, and hydrogen gas is generated on the surface of the cathode. The hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone electrolysis products with strong oxidizing activity, as well as hydrogen gas, are directed to the processing chamber 701 of the clothing treatment device 1000 by the flow of water. Ozone and hydroxyl radicals are used to sterilize and disinfect the clothing and decolorize the dyes. Hydrogen gas is used to penetrate into the clothing fibers and explode, adsorb, and float, thereby achieving the functions of sterilization, disinfection, and anti-color bleeding of the clothing while improving the washing ratio of the clothing treatment device 1000.

[0111] The first electrode plate 11 has a first water passage 14a extending in a first direction. The portion of the electrolytic membrane 13 corresponding to the first water passage 14a constitutes a first water absorption portion 131, and the portion of the electrolytic membrane 13 in contact with the first electrode plate 11 constitutes a first reaction portion 132. Alternatively, the second electrode plate 12 has a second water passage 14b extending in a first direction. The portion of the electrolytic membrane 13 corresponding to the second water passage 14b constitutes a second water absorption portion 133, and the portion of the electrolytic membrane 13 in contact with the second electrode plate 12 constitutes a second reaction portion 134. In other words, the first reaction portion 132 is the area where the solid portion of the electrolytic membrane 13 and the solid portion of the first electrode plate 11 contact each other, and the second reaction portion 134 is the area where the solid portion of the electrolytic membrane 13 and the solid portion of the second electrode plate 12 contact each other. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when Figure 8 and Figure 9 When the surface shown represents the contact between the electrolytic membrane 13 and the first electrode plate 11, the cross-sectional area S1 is the first reaction section 132, and the area S2 enclosed by the three dashed rectangular frames is the first water-absorbing section 131. Similarly, when Figure 8 and Figure 9 When the surface of the electrolytic membrane 13 in contact with the second electrode sheet 12 is shown, region S1 is the second reaction section 134, and region S2 enclosed by the three dashed rectangular frames is the second water absorption section 133.

[0112] Figure 8 The electrolytic membrane 13 shown is a schematic diagram of the electrolytic membrane 13 when the area of ​​its side surface in the first direction is less than or equal to that of the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12. Figure 9 The circumferential blank area S3 of the electrolytic membrane 13 shown is the area where the circumferential extension of the electrolytic membrane 13 extends beyond the circumferential outline of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 when the area of ​​the electrolytic membrane 13 is larger than that of the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12.

[0113] In this embodiment, the first water passage 14a allows fluid on the side of the first electrode plate 11 facing away from the second electrode plate 12 to more easily contact the first water absorption portion 131 of the electrolytic membrane 13 and diffuse into the electrolytic membrane 13 between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. The second water passage 14b allows fluid on the side of the second electrode plate 12 facing away from the first electrode plate 11 to more easily contact the second water absorption portion 133 of the electrolytic membrane 13 and diffuse into the electrolytic membrane 13 between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. As a result, more fluid can diffuse through the first water absorption portion 131 and the second water absorption portion 133 of the electrolytic membrane 13 to the first reaction portion 132 and the second reaction portion 134 of the electrolytic membrane 13, improving the uniformity of fluid distribution and flow rate in the electrolytic membrane 13 between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, allowing the electrolysis reaction to continue and carrying away the electrolysis products, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0114] In this embodiment, the fluid can be water, and other substances such as detergents and surfactants can also be added to the water. The fluid can directly contact the electrolytic membrane 13 circumferentially and diffuse to the first reaction section 132 and the second reaction section 134. At the same time, the fluid can also directly contact the first water absorption section 131 and the second water absorption section 133 in the middle of the electrolytic membrane 13 and diffuse to the first reaction section 132 and the second reaction section 134. This makes the fluid distribution at different positions of the electrolytic membrane 13 more uniform and consistent, improves the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 10, and makes the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 10 match the flow rate parameters of the fluid in the water inlet path of the clothing treatment device 1000. This avoids the need to extend the water inlet time by reducing the fluid flow rate in the water inlet path or increasing the volume of the electrolysis component 10 to meet the demand for electrolytic products during clothing treatment, improves the overcurrent electrolysis efficiency, and has better practicality.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first water-absorbing portion 131 and the second water-absorbing portion 133 are respectively located on both sides of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction, and the projected portions of the first water-absorbing portion 131 and the second water-absorbing portion 133 overlap in the first direction.

[0116] When the areas of the first water-absorbing part 131, the second water-absorbing part 133, the first reaction part 132, and the second reaction part 134 remain unchanged, if the first water-absorbing part 131 and the second water-absorbing part 133 are completely misaligned in the first direction, the water-absorbing parts can be more evenly distributed on the electrolytic membrane 13, which is more conducive to the uniform diffusion of the fluid. However, this will result in the smallest superimposed area of ​​the projection of the first reaction part 132 and the second reaction part 134 in the first direction. Consequently, during the electrolysis process, the proton migration distance in some areas will be much greater than the distance between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 (that is, the thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction), resulting in relatively low electrolysis efficiency.

[0117] In this embodiment, by overlapping the projected portions of the first absorbent part 131 and the second absorbent part 133 in the first direction, the overlapping area of ​​the projected portions can be controlled to coordinate the fluid diffusion rate and uniformity on the electrolytic membrane 13 with the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10. This ensures that there is sufficient fluid in the electrolytic membrane 13 of the electrolysis assembly 10 to enable efficient electrolysis, avoiding the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10 being affected by slow fluid diffusion in the electrolytic membrane 13, or by the electrolysis efficiency being affected by the small overlapping area of ​​the projected portions of the first reaction part 132 and the second reaction part 134 in the first direction. This results in a higher degree of matching between the flow parameters of the electrolysis assembly 10 and the fluid in the inlet channel, providing sufficient electrolytic products for the clothing processing equipment 1000 and improving the performance of the clothing processing equipment 1000.

[0118] In some embodiments, the first absorbent portion 131 and the second absorbent portion 133 are the same size and shape, and their projections in the first direction completely overlap. This not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly and simplifies the structure, but also allows the fluid in the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b to flow through the electrolytic membrane 13, resulting in a faster dynamic flow rate of the fluid in the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, which helps to improve electrolysis efficiency and the outflow of electrolysis products.

[0119] Meanwhile, this embodiment facilitates the quantification of the influence of the area of ​​the first reaction section 132 and the second reaction section 134 on the electrolysis efficiency, as well as the influence of the area of ​​the first water absorption section 131 and the second water absorption section 133 on the fluid diffusion rate and uniformity on the electrolytic membrane 13. This facilitates the design of the structure and the experimental comparison of different parameters. The influence of the area of ​​the reaction section and the water absorption section on the electrolysis efficiency is more regular. When producing electrolysis components 10 of different sizes and volumes, proportional size adjustment can be performed, or some parameters can be adjusted proportionally to achieve the matching of electrolysis efficiency and fluid parameters in the water inlet channel, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of electrolysis components 10 of different sizes and volumes.

[0120] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first area ratio of the area of ​​the first absorbent portion 131 to the area of ​​the first reaction portion 132 is greater than zero and less than one-ninth, and / or the second area ratio of the area of ​​the second absorbent portion 133 to the area of ​​the second reaction portion 134 is greater than zero and less than one-ninth.

[0121] The first area ratio can be 1 / 96, 1 / 85, 1 / 83, 1 / 66, 1 / 50, 1 / 48, 1 / 40, 1 / 32, 3 / 80, 1 / 25, 1 / 20, 3 / 50, 1 / 15, 3 / 43, 2 / 25, 1 / 10, or 1 / 9.1. When the first area ratio is equal to 0, it is equivalent to the first electrode plate 11 not having a first water passage 14a, or the first water passage 14a not corresponding to the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction, so that fluid cannot contact the electrolytic membrane 13 through the first water passage 14a. When the first area ratio is greater than or equal to 1 / 9, although the fluid can contact the first water absorption part 131 through the first water passage 14a and diffuse to different positions of the electrolytic membrane 13 more quickly, it will cause the area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to undergo efficient electrolytic reaction to become smaller. As a result, the fluid flowing into the area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 cannot be fully electrolyzed when the electrolytic assembly 10 is running under a preset load or full load, resulting in low electrolytic efficiency of the electrolytic assembly 10, which affects the service life of the electrolytic assembly 10 and the output of electrolytic products.

[0122] Similarly, the second area ratio can be 1 / 94, 1 / 80, 1 / 75, 1 / 66, 1 / 50, 1 / 48, 1 / 40, 1 / 32, 3 / 78, 1 / 25, 1 / 20, 3 / 50, 1 / 15, 3 / 43, 2 / 25, 1 / 10, or 1 / 9.1. When the second area ratio is equal to 0, it is equivalent to the second electrode plate 12 not having a second water passage 14b, or the second water passage 14b not corresponding to the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction, so that fluid cannot contact the electrolytic membrane 13 through the second water passage 14b. When the second area ratio is greater than or equal to 1 / 9, although the fluid can contact the second water absorption part 133 through the second water passage 14b and diffuse to different positions of the electrolytic membrane 13 more quickly, it will cause the area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to undergo efficient electrolytic reaction to become smaller. As a result, the fluid flowing into the area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 cannot be fully electrolyzed when the electrolytic assembly 10 is running under a preset load or full load, resulting in low electrolytic efficiency of the electrolytic assembly 10, which affects the service life of the electrolytic assembly 10 and the output of electrolytic products.

[0123] This embodiment controls the first area ratio and / or the second area ratio within an effective range, enabling the electrolysis component 10 to operate stably under a preset load condition. This avoids the need for the electrolysis component 10 to operate under overload conditions to meet the demand for electrolytic products from the clothing processing equipment 1000. It also keeps the voltage and current of the electrolysis component 10 within an effective range, preventing increased energy consumption, aggravated electrode corrosion, electrode polarization, or increased electrolytic side reactions due to excessive current or voltage. This ensures the normal and stable operation of all components of the electrolysis component 10 and extends its service life.

[0124] Furthermore, the first area ratio is greater than or equal to one-twentieth and less than or equal to two-twenty-fifths, and the second area ratio is greater than or equal to one-twentieth and less than or equal to two-twenty-fifths.

[0125] The first area ratio can be 1 / 20, 3 / 50, 1 / 15, 1 / 13, or 2 / 25, and the second area ratio can be 1 / 20, 3 / 50, 1 / 15, 1 / 13, or 2 / 25. For example, the first area ratio in electrolytic module 10 is 1 / 20, and the second area ratio is 2 / 25. Another example is that the first area ratio in electrolytic module 10 is 3 / 50, and the second area ratio is 1 / 13. Yet another example is that the first area ratio in electrolytic module 10 is 2 / 25, and the second area ratio is 1 / 15.

[0126] When at least one of the first area ratio and the second area ratio is greater than 0 and less than 1 / 20, the direct contact area between the fluid on at least one side of the electrolysis component 10 in the first direction and the electrolytic membrane 13 is too small, preventing the fluid on the corresponding side from diffusing into the electrolytic membrane 13. This affects the contact effect between the fluid and the electrolytic membrane 13, resulting in poor matching between the cross-sectional dimensions of the electrolysis component 10 and the fluid parameters in the inlet channel. Simultaneously, it also leads to significant differences in the fluid flow parameters in different regions of the electrolytic membrane 13. Consequently, the fluid in a portion of the area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is not fully electrolyzed in time, but the electrolyzed products cannot be discharged promptly, and new fluid cannot be replenished in time, resulting in low electrolysis efficiency. Even increasing the operating load of the electrolysis component 10 does not significantly increase the output of electrolyzed products, requiring an increase in the volume of the electrolysis component 10 to improve the output, which is impractical.

[0127] When at least one of the first area ratio and the second area ratio is greater than 2 / 25 and less than 1 / 9, although the fluid on the corresponding side of the electrolysis component 10 in the first direction is more likely to diffuse into the electrolysis membrane 13, it can easily lead to a relatively small high-efficiency electrolysis reaction area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 of the electrolysis component 10. The fluid cannot be fully electrolyzed, and the output of electrolysis products is low, resulting in low overall electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 10. It is also necessary to increase the volume of the electrolysis component 10 to increase the output of electrolysis products. At this time, the electrolysis component 10 often needs to operate under high load conditions for a long time, which has a significant impact on the performance and lifespan of the electrolysis component 10.

[0128] This embodiment further controls the parameters of the first area ratio and the second area ratio to make the fluid diffuse evenly on the electrolytic membrane 13, improve the uniformity of fluid distribution on the electrolytic membrane 13, reduce the difference in fluid flow velocity at different positions on the electrolytic membrane 13, and ensure that there is a sufficient area of ​​efficient electrolysis reaction region between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. This allows the electrolysis assembly 10 to operate within a stable load range, and the fluid at different positions on the electrolytic membrane 13 can be electrolyzed more fully. Electrolysis products can be discharged in time, and new fluid can be replenished in time. Compared with the parameters other than the first area ratio and the second area ratio in this embodiment, the overall electrolysis efficiency is higher. Under the same electrolysis efficiency, the electrolysis assembly 10 in this embodiment is smaller in size and has a higher integration.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first area ratio of this embodiment is equal to the second area ratio. For example, both the first area ratio and the second area ratio are 1 / 20. Another example is that both the first area ratio and the second area ratio are 3 / 50. Yet another example is that both the first area ratio and the second area ratio are 1 / 15. Still another example is that both the first area ratio and the second area ratio are 2 / 25. Therefore, the fluid on the side of the first electrode plate 11 away from the second electrode plate 12 and the fluid on the side of the second electrode plate 12 away from the first electrode plate 11 can both contact the electrolytic membrane 13. Fluids located at different circumferential positions in the water inlet flow path of the electrolysis assembly 10 can diffuse better between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, increasing the replacement rate of new fluid and electrolyzed fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12.

[0130] Furthermore, the size and shape of the first water-absorbing part 131 and the second water-absorbing part 133 can be completely identical, and their projections in the first direction completely overlap. In other words, the size and shape of the first water-passing hole 14a on the first electrode plate 11 and the first water-passing hole 14a on the second electrode plate 12 are completely identical, and the projections of the first water-passing hole 14a and the second water-passing hole 14b in the first direction completely overlap. This can further improve the fluid diffusion effect, creating a larger high-efficiency electrolysis area between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0131] In some embodiments, the electrolytic membrane 13 has a membrane through-hole 135 extending through the electrolytic membrane 13 in a first direction. The membrane through-hole 135 is correspondingly connected to the first water inlet 14a and the second water inlet 14b, thereby allowing fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction to flow freely through the first water inlet 14a, the membrane through-hole 135 and the second water inlet 14b, improving the flow effect of fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, which is beneficial to the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the water inlet path. It can also allow the fluid in the water inlet path to enter the processing chamber 701 of the clothing processing device 1000 at a higher flow rate and a larger flow rate, which helps to improve the water intake efficiency of the clothing processing device 1000.

[0132] Meanwhile, the electrolytic membrane 13 is usually thinner, and the setting of the membrane through hole 135 can reduce the pressure difference between the two sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction, so that the electrolytic membrane 13 can work under more stable conditions and improve the service life and stability of the electrolytic membrane 13.

[0133] See Figure 12 and Figure 13In some embodiments, both the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 include a substrate 16 and a conductive coating 15. The conductive coating 15 is provided on the surface of the substrate 16 of the first electrode sheet 11 facing the second electrode sheet 12, and the conductive coating 15 is provided on the surface of the substrate 16 of the second electrode sheet 12 facing the first electrode sheet 11. In this embodiment, the conductive coating 15 is provided on the lower surface of the first electrode sheet 11 and the upper surface of the second electrode sheet 12.

[0134] In this embodiment, the surface of the first electrode 11 facing the second electrode 12 (lower surface) and the surface of the second electrode 12 facing the first electrode 11 (upper surface) serve as the main reaction areas. By providing a conductive coating 15, the charge transfer resistance can be reduced, while preventing the substrate 16 from being exposed, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly 10 and increasing the electrolysis efficiency and service life of the first and second electrode 11. Simultaneously, it can improve the oxidation and corrosion resistance of the electrode sheets during oxidation reactions.

[0135] It is understandable that conductive coatings 15 can be provided on the surfaces of the first electrode sheet 11 other than the lower surface, and on the second electrode sheet 12 other than the upper surface, depending on the application.

[0136] For example, all surfaces of the first electrode sheet 11 except the upper surface have a conductive coating 15, and all surfaces of the second electrode sheet 12 except the lower surface have a conductive coating 15.

[0137] For example, all surfaces of the first electrode 11 have a conductive coating 15, and all surfaces of the second electrode 12 have a conductive coating 15.

[0138] This embodiment can determine the arrangement of the conductive coating 15 according to the manufacturing cost, manufacturing difficulty, grain size, and electrolytic performance of different surfaces of the electrode sheet. It is highly flexible, helps to reduce manufacturing costs, reduce processing difficulty, improve product quality, and facilitates the control of reaction area and electrolytic efficiency, making it highly practical.

[0139] Furthermore, the substrate 16 of the first electrode sheet 11 has a conductive coating 15 on the surface facing only the second electrode sheet 12, and / or the substrate 16 of the second electrode sheet 12 has a conductive coating 15 on the surface facing only the first electrode sheet 11.

[0140] In this embodiment, the conductive coating 15 is only applied to the lower surface of the substrate 16 in the first electrode sheet 11. In the second electrode sheet 12, the conductive coating 15 is only applied to the upper surface of the substrate 16 in the second electrode sheet 12. This embodiment allows for the application of the conductive coating 15 to the substrate 16 using a single-sided coating process, reducing costs and manufacturing difficulty, facilitating control of the grain size of the conductive coating 15, and improving its quality. In this embodiment, the surfaces of the substrate 16 on the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 without the conductive coating 15 can be excluded from the reaction surface, allowing for more rational control of the reaction area and reaction efficiency, resulting in better practicality. It also reduces the risk of the conductive coating 15 detaching when subjected to fluid erosion, preventing water contamination. This embodiment reduces manufacturing costs and potential safety risks while ensuring electrolysis efficiency and operational stability.

[0141] In this embodiment, a conductive coating 15 is provided on the lower surface of the substrate 16 in the first electrode sheet 11 and the upper surface of the substrate 16 in the second electrode sheet 12. The high density of nucleation sites can effectively and uniformly distribute the electric field, avoiding dendrite growth problems caused by excessively high local electric fields.

[0142] Meanwhile, the substrate 16 of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 can be made of silicon, and the conductive coating 15 is a boron-doped diamond coating. The boron-doped diamond coating has high hardness, good thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the electrolytic component 10 during the redox reaction process. The boron-doped diamond coating has a high elastic modulus and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it less prone to deformation during long-term cyclic operation, resulting in better stability and high mechanical strength. The boron-doped diamond coating can reduce side reactions with fluids, avoid the generation of harmful substances, prevent damage to the substrate 16, and improve the service life of the electrode sheets. While meeting application requirements, it can reduce production costs and manufacturing difficulty, and ensure the coating quality and application effect of the boron-doped diamond coating.

[0143] Furthermore, the thickness of the boron-doped diamond coating is less than 9 micrometers.

[0144] The thickness of boron-doped diamond coatings (BDD coatings) can be 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2.3 μm, 3.7 μm, 5 μm, 6.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.8 μm, or 8.9 μm. When the thickness of the BDD coating is greater than or equal to 9 μm, it leads to an increase in thermal and internal stress. For example, when the BDD coating is prepared by chemical vapor deposition, the electrode is cooled to room temperature after deposition. Due to the significant difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the BDD material and the substrate, huge thermal stress is generated during cooling. The thicker the BDD coating, the greater the stress, and this thermal stress accumulates rapidly with increasing coating thickness. When the stress exceeds the bonding force between the BDD coating and the substrate, or exceeds the fracture strength of the BDD material itself, it will cause the BDD coating to crack or peel off. Once cracking or peeling occurs, the substrate will be exposed to fluid, leading to rapid corrosion and instantaneous electrode failure. At the same time, the current density at the crack will be abnormally concentrated, accelerating localized corrosion and further damage to the coating.

[0145] Excessively thick BDD coatings can also lead to poor surface product quality consistency, increased side reactions, inconsistent density of the BDD coating, and increased internal defects. Furthermore, excessively thick BDD coatings result in high manufacturing and production costs.

[0146] This embodiment, by controlling the thickness of the boron-doped diamond coating, can better control the coating quality, ensure the density and uniformity of the coating, reduce manufacturing costs and processing difficulty, avoid increasing side reactions during electrolysis, improve electrolysis efficiency, and optimize electrolysis products.

[0147] In some embodiments, one of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is the anode, and the other is the cathode. The hydrogen evolution potential of the cathode is -1.1V to -0.56V. Specifically, the hydrogen evolution potential of the cathode can be -1.1V, -1V, -0.95V, -0.8V, -0.66V, or -0.56V. When the hydrogen evolution potential is below -1.1V, hydrogen evolution occurs more easily, generating a large amount of hydrogen gas. A significant amount of the applied electrical energy is wasted on hydrogen production, while the proportion of current used for other target reactions decreases, resulting in some electrolytic products failing to meet concentration standards and affecting the subsequent production of some highly oxidizing electrolytic products. When the hydrogen evolution potential is above -0.56V, a larger external voltage is required to drive the reaction, increasing energy consumption, raising operating costs, and converting more of the output electrical energy into heat dissipation, leading to low energy efficiency of the electrolysis unit 10.

[0148] This embodiment optimizes the concentration of the target electrolytic product and the energy consumption of the electrolysis component 10 by controlling the hydrogen evolution potential of the cathode between -1.1V and -0.56V, making the operation of the electrolysis component 10 more stable.

[0149] Furthermore, the oxygen evolution potential (OE) of the anode is between 2.2V and 2.5V. The OE potential can be 2.2V, 2.25V, 2.3V, 2.32V, 2.4V, 2.46V, or 2.5V. If the OE potential is below 2.2V, more electrical energy will be converted into oxygen, reducing the proportion of current used for other target reactions, resulting in lower current efficiency and substandard concentration of the target electrolytic product. If the OE potential is above 2.5V, more electrical energy will be converted into heat and dissipated, leading to a high temperature in the electrolysis component 10, which affects the product's lifespan and stability.

[0150] This embodiment optimizes the concentration of the target electrolytic product and the energy consumption of the electrolysis unit 10 by controlling the oxygen evolution potential of the anode between 2.2V and 2.5V, making the operation of the electrolysis unit 10 more stable.

[0151] In some embodiments, the thickness of either the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12 in the first direction is less than 1.5 mm.

[0152] The thickness of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 can be 0.5mm, 0.65mm, 0.68mm, 0.75mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.25mm, 1.4mm or 1.48mm. The thickness of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 can be the same or different from each other.

[0153] When the thickness of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm, the current needs to pass through the entire thickness of the electrode material to reach the reaction interface. The longer the path, the greater the resistance, leading to increased voltage drop and energy consumption. Excessive electrical energy is consumed as heat, resulting in low energy efficiency. Excessive thickness in the fabrication of the first electrode 11 and the second electrode 12 increases material costs and manufacturing costs during hole processing or electrode cutting. Furthermore, the electrolysis products need to diffuse out through the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b. An excessively thick electrode will lengthen the effective diffusion path, increasing mass transfer resistance. At high current densities, the fluid between the electrode plates may be rapidly consumed without timely replenishment, and electrolysis products may accumulate, leading to intensified concentration polarization. This limits the performance of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0154] In this embodiment, by controlling the thickness of either the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12 in the first direction to be less than 1.5 mm, the size of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction can be reduced, thereby reducing resistance and voltage drop, improving energy utilization efficiency, and allowing fluid to diffuse more easily through the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. It also facilitates the outflow of electrolysis products between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, reduces mass transfer resistance, fully utilizes the performance of the electrolysis assembly 10, and improves electrolysis efficiency.

[0155] In some embodiments, the effective area of ​​either the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12 is greater than 1 square centimeter and less than 2 square centimeters. The effective area of ​​the first electrode sheet 11 can be understood as the area of ​​the region where the solid portion of the first electrode sheet 11 contacts the solid portion of the electrolytic membrane 13, and the effective area of ​​the second electrode sheet 12 can be understood as the area of ​​the region where the solid portion of the second electrode sheet 12 contacts the solid portion of the electrolytic membrane 13.

[0156] The effective area of ​​the first electrode sheet 11 can be 1.1 square centimeters, 1.2 square centimeters, 1.25 square centimeters, 1.33 square centimeters, 1.4 square centimeters, 1.5 square centimeters, 1.54 square centimeters, 1.65 square centimeters, 1.8 square centimeters, 1.87 square centimeters, or 1.9 square centimeters.

[0157] The effective area of ​​the second electrode 12 can be 1.1 square centimeters, 1.2 square centimeters, 1.25 square centimeters, 1.33 square centimeters, 1.4 square centimeters, 1.5 square centimeters, 1.54 square centimeters, 1.65 square centimeters, 1.8 square centimeters, 1.87 square centimeters, or 1.9 square centimeters.

[0158] The effective areas of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 can be the same, and the projected areas of the effective areas of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 in the first direction can completely overlap or partially overlap.

[0159] When the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12 is less than or equal to 1 square centimeter, it is easy to result in the area of ​​the efficient electrolysis region between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 being too small, which cannot provide enough electrolysis products and cannot meet the concentration of the target electrolysis products required by the clothing processing equipment 1000.

[0160] When the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is less than or equal to 2 square centimeters, the overall size of the electrolysis component 10 is easily too large, making it difficult to install in the water inlet path, occupying too much space in the water inlet path, affecting the flow of fluid, and causing the fluid to flow too fast when passing through the electrolysis component 10, making it difficult for the fluid to diffuse into the first water inlet hole 14a and the second water inlet hole 14b, which is not conducive to the mass transfer of new fluid and electrolysis products, resulting in excessive mass transfer resistance and affecting electrolysis efficiency.

[0161] This embodiment constrains the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, which can meet the application requirements of the clothing processing equipment 1000, and make it match the space of the water inlet flow path. This makes the fluid flow parameters in the water inlet flow path more compatible with the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 10, and improves its practicality. It is also beneficial to improve the compactness and integration of the electrolysis component 10.

[0162] In some embodiments, either the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12 is plate-shaped with an aspect ratio greater than 1.3. The length direction of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 is the second direction shown in the figure, and the width direction of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 is the third direction shown in the figure. The first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 can be rectangular plates. In this embodiment, the aspect ratio of the first electrode sheet 11 can be 1.31, 1.4, 175, 2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.5, 4, or 6.

[0163] When the aspect ratio is less than or equal to 1.3, the width of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is easily limited by the cross-sectional size of the water inlet flow path due to the relatively small cross-sectional size of the water inlet flow path. The length direction of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is usually roughly parallel to the water flow direction in the water inlet flow path. If the length of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is also too small, the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 will be too small, making it difficult to meet the demand of electrolytic products required by the clothing processing equipment 1000. This will affect the operating load of the electrolysis component 10, causing the electrolysis component 10 to need to operate at high load for a long time to produce more target electrolytic products, affecting the service life and stability of the electrolysis component 10. The flow rate of the fluid in the water inlet flow path and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 10 are poorly matched.

[0164] In this embodiment, the aspect ratio of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is controlled to be above 1.3, which can effectively ensure that the electrolysis component 10 has a sufficient electrolysis area and allow the fluid to enter better between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, reducing mass transfer resistance and improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency. In application, the aspect ratio of the electrode plates can be adjusted to adapt to different models of clothing processing equipment 1000, making it more practical.

[0165] In some embodiments, the thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than 1 mm.

[0166] The thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction can be 0.1 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.86 mm, 0.9 mm, or 0.98 mm.

[0167] When the thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction is less than 0.1 μm, the mechanical strength of the electrolytic membrane 13 is low, making it easily scratched by the electrode plates during assembly or prone to breakage during installation. During operation, due to the pressure difference between the fluids through the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b on both sides of the electrolytic membrane 13, the membrane is prone to cracking or perforation due to localized stress concentration, resulting in a short service life. The electrolysis process also easily leads to the mixing of anolyte and cathodic products, posing a safety hazard and affecting electrolysis efficiency. When the electrolytic membrane 13 is damaged, it can easily lead to direct contact between the anode and cathode, causing a short circuit, which in turn can result in localized overheating or permanent damage.

[0168] When the thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction is greater than or equal to 1 μm, the resistance to ion migration in the electrolytic membrane 13 is proportional to its thickness. Ions need to pass through the electrolytic membrane 13 to move from one electrode to another; the greater the thickness, the longer the path and the greater the resistance. Fluid needs to diffuse from the anode into the electrolytic membrane 13 to maintain its hydration and conduct protons. An excessively thick electrolytic membrane 13 increases the resistance to water transport, potentially leading to localized dehydration. After dehydration, the proton conductivity of the electrolytic membrane 13 drops sharply, further increasing the resistance and potentially causing irreversible damage to the membrane itself. Furthermore, an excessively thick electrolytic membrane 13 requires more membrane material, increasing manufacturing costs.

[0169] In this embodiment, the thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13 in the first direction is controlled within the range of greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than 1 mm, which can ensure the mechanical properties of the electrolytic membrane 13 and the electrolysis efficiency during the electrolysis process, so that the electrolysis assembly 10 can carry out the electrolysis reaction more efficiently and stably.

[0170] In some embodiments, the first electrode plate 11 is provided with a plurality of first water passage holes 14a arranged at intervals between each other, and / or the second electrode plate 12 is provided with a plurality of second water passage holes 14b arranged at intervals between each other.

[0171] The number of first water passage holes 14a on the first electrode plate 11 can be 2, 3, or 5, and the number of second water passage holes 14b on the second electrode plate 12 can be 2, 3, 5, or 6. The first water passage holes 14a and 14b can be round or elongated holes, or they can be petal-shaped, curved, or other irregularly shaped holes. The number, shape, and location of the first water passage holes 14a and 14b can be determined based on the dimensions of the first electrode plate 11 and 12, the gap between the first electrode plate 11 and 12, the thickness of the electrolytic membrane 13, and the fluid flow on the first electrode plate 11 and 12. The diffusion rate in 12 is determined so that the fluid can directly contact the electrolytic membrane 13 through the multiple first water absorption parts 131 and multiple second water absorption parts 133 in the middle of the electrolytic membrane 13. This allows the fluid to diffuse more evenly and quickly to the first reaction part 132 and the second reaction part 134 of the electrolytic membrane 13, making the fluid distribution at different positions of the electrolytic membrane 13 more uniform and consistent, improving the efficiency of electrolysis. This ensures that the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolytic component 10 matches the flow rate parameters of the fluid in the water inlet path of the clothing processing equipment 1000, avoiding the need to extend the water inlet time by reducing the fluid flow rate in the water inlet path or increasing the volume of the electrolytic component 10 to meet the demand for electrolytic products during clothing processing.

[0172] For example, there are three first water passage holes 14a and three second water passage holes 14b. Both the first water passage holes 14a and the second water passage holes 14b are rectangular holes. The three first water passage holes 14a are parallel and spaced apart along the length of the first electrode plate 11, and the three second water passage holes 14b are parallel and spaced apart along the length of the second electrode plate 12. The fluid diffuses more evenly to different positions on the electrolytic membrane 13 through different water absorption parts, resulting in a more uniform fluid distribution on the electrolytic membrane 13.

[0173] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​a single first water inlet 14a is 1 to 10 square millimeters, and / or the cross-sectional area of ​​a single second water inlet 14b is 1 to 10 square millimeters.

[0174] The cross-sectional area of ​​the first water passage 14a is 1 square millimeter, 2 square millimeters, 2.5 square millimeters, 3.4 square millimeters, 5 square millimeters, 5.8 square millimeters, 7.4 square millimeters, 8 square millimeters, 9 square millimeters, 9.6 square millimeters, or 10 square millimeters.

[0175] The cross-sectional area of ​​the second water passage 14b is 1 square millimeter, 2 square millimeters, 2.5 square millimeters, 3.4 square millimeters, 5 square millimeters, 5.8 square millimeters, 7.4 square millimeters, 8 square millimeters, 9 square millimeters, 9.6 square millimeters, or 10 square millimeters.

[0176] The cross-sectional area and shape of the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b can be exactly the same, and the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b can be set one-to-one in the first direction. The projections of the corresponding first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b in the first direction can partially overlap or completely overlap.

[0177] When the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water passage 14a or the second water passage 14b is less than 1 square millimeter, the effective range for fluid diffusion from the first water passage 14a to the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is too small. To ensure that the total cross-sectional area of ​​the multiple first water passages 14a or the multiple second water passages 14b meets the requirements, more first water passages 14a or second water passages 14b need to be opened, increasing the manufacturing difficulty and cost, and hindering the production and processing of the electrode plates. At the same time, because the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water passage 14a or the second water passage 14b is too small, air blockage or blockage by deposits can easily form inside the hole, making it difficult for the fluid to contact the electrolytic membrane 13 through the first water passage 14a or the second water passage 14b, thus causing the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b to completely fail, resulting in low electrolysis efficiency.

[0178] When the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water passage 14a or the second water passage 14b is greater than 10 square millimeters, it can easily lead to an excessively large size of a single hole, which has an excessive impact on the mechanical properties of the local area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12, resulting in low structural stability and a tendency for complete deformation or breakage during assembly. Fluid on the circumferential sides of the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b can more easily diffuse between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. When the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b is too large, it can easily lead to an excessively large proportion of the area located in the middle of the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, which cannot promote fluid diffusion between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12.

[0179] This embodiment limits the size range of the cross-sectional area of ​​a single first water passage 14a and a single second water passage 14b, so that the cross-sectional size of the water passage and its diffusion range are matched, avoiding blockage of the water passage, fully realizing the mass transfer performance of the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, improving the mass transfer efficiency of the fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, and improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0180] In some embodiments, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of first water passages 14a accounts for less than 10% of the effective area of ​​the first electrode sheet 11, and / or the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of second water passages 14b accounts for less than 10% of the effective area of ​​the second electrode sheet 12.

[0181] The sum of the cross-sectional areas of the multiple first water passages 14a can account for 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 6.7%, 8%, 9%, 9.5%, or 9.8% of the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11.

[0182] The sum of the cross-sectional areas of the multiple second water passages 14b can account for 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 6.7%, 8%, 9%, 9.5%, or 9.8% of the effective area of ​​the second electrode plate 12.

[0183] When the sum of the cross-sectional areas of multiple first water passages 14a accounts for more than or equal to 10% of the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11, and / or the sum of the cross-sectional areas of multiple second water passages 14b accounts for more than or equal to 10% of the effective area of ​​the second electrode plate 12, although more fluids can come into contact with the electrolytic membrane 13 through the first or second water passages 14b, allowing the fluids to diffuse to different positions on the electrolytic membrane 13, this results in the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 and the effective area of ​​the second electrode plate 12 being too small. The area for electrolytic reaction between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 becomes smaller, causing the fluid flowing between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to not be fully electrolyzed even when the electrolytic assembly 10 is running under a preset load or full load. This leads to low electrolytic efficiency of the electrolytic assembly 10, affecting the service life of the electrolytic assembly 10 and the output of electrolytic products.

[0184] This embodiment controls the proportion of the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 occupied by multiple first water passages 14a and the proportion of the effective area of ​​the second electrode plate 12 occupied by multiple second water passages 14b. This allows the fluid to diffuse evenly on the electrolytic membrane 13, improving the uniformity of fluid distribution on the electrolytic membrane 13, reducing the difference in fluid flow velocity at different positions on the electrolytic membrane 13, and ensuring sufficient space between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 for the electrolytic reaction. This allows the electrolytic assembly 10 to operate within a stable load range, enabling more complete electrolysis of the fluid at different positions on the electrolytic membrane 13, timely discharge of electrolysis products, and timely replenishment of new fluid. This results in high mass transfer efficiency. Under the same electrolysis efficiency, the electrolytic assembly 10 in this embodiment is smaller in size and has a higher degree of integration.

[0185] In some embodiments, a plurality of first water passage holes 14a on the first electrode plate 11 and a plurality of second water passage holes 14b on the second electrode plate 12 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence in a first direction.

[0186] The first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 are roughly the same in shape and size, and are highly interchangeable. This not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly but also simplifies the structure. The fluid in the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b can flow through the electrolytic membrane 13, resulting in a faster dynamic flow rate of the fluid in the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b. This helps to improve electrolysis efficiency and the outflow of electrolysis products, resulting in higher mass transfer efficiency. During the reversal operation, the anode and cathode of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 are interchanged without affecting the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10, ensuring the stability and practicality of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0187] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 10 further includes a first end plate 41 and a second end plate 42. The first end plate 41 is disposed on the side of the first electrode sheet 11 away from the second electrode sheet 12, and the second end plate 42 is disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet 12 away from the first electrode sheet 11. The first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 clamp the laminate along a first direction.

[0188] In this embodiment, the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 can protect the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12. At the same time, the laminate is clamped and fixed by the force applied to the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 along the first direction. This can disperse the force acting on the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12, avoid excessive local stress concentration when the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 are directly subjected to force, and prevent damage or breakage of the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12.

[0189] In some embodiments, the first end plate 41 is provided with a first flow window 43a, the first flow window 43a passes through the first end plate 41 in a first direction and is connected to the first water passage hole 14a, and / or the second end plate 42 is provided with a second flow window 43b, the second flow window 43b passes through the second end plate 42 in a first direction and is connected to the second water passage hole 14b.

[0190] It is understandable that when the first end plate 41 is provided on the side of the first electrode plate 11 facing away from the second electrode plate 12, and the second end plate 42 is provided on the side of the second electrode plate 12 facing away from the first electrode plate 11, a first flow window 43a corresponding to the first water passage hole 14a on the first electrode plate 11 is opened on the first end plate 41, and a second flow window 43b corresponding to the second water passage hole 14b on the second electrode plate 12 is opened on the second end plate 42. This avoids the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 from blocking the fluid from entering the first water passage hole 14a and the second water passage hole 14b, and makes it easier for the fluid to enter the first water passage hole 14a and the second water passage hole 14b.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first flow window 43a occupies 5% to 80% of the area on the first end plate 41, and / or the second flow window 43b occupies 5% to 80% of the area on the second end plate 42. In other words, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first flow window 43a accounts for 5% to 80% of the total area of ​​the side surface of the first end plate 41 in the first direction, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second flow window 43b accounts for 5% to 80% of the total area of ​​the side surface of the second end plate 42 in the first direction.

[0192] The first flow window 43a and the second flow window 43b can be one. The projection of the first flow window 43a in the first direction coincides with the projection of all the first water passage holes 14a on the first electrode plate 11 in the first direction. The projection of the second flow window 43b in the first direction coincides with the projection of all the second water passage holes 14b on the second electrode plate 12 in the first direction.

[0193] Alternatively, there can be multiple first flow windows 43a and second flow windows 43b. The projections of multiple first flow windows 43a in the first direction correspond one-to-one with and overlap with the projections of all the first water passages 14a on the first electrode plate 11 in the first direction. The projections of multiple second flow windows 43b in the first direction correspond one-to-one with and overlap with the projections of all the second water passages 14b on the second electrode plate 12 in the first direction.

[0194] In this embodiment, the area ratio of the first flow window 43a on the first end plate 41 can be 5%, 7%, 10%, 24%, 38%, 45%, 50%, 75%, 77%, or 80%, and the area ratio of the second flow window 43b on the second end plate 42 can be 5%, 7%, 10%, 24%, 38%, 45%, 50%, 75%, 77%, or 80%.

[0195] When the area of ​​the first flow-through window 43a on the first end plate 41 is less than 5%, or the area of ​​the second flow-through window 43b on the second end plate 42 is less than 5%, the fluid on the side of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction is less likely to enter the corresponding water passage through the flow-through window, affecting the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the axial fluid mass transfer efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10. At the same time, the material cost of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 increases. When the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 are made of materials with high conductivity and mechanical properties, the manufacturing cost becomes too high.

[0196] When the area of ​​the first flow-through window 43a on the first end plate 41 is greater than 80%, or the area of ​​the second flow-through window 43b on the second end plate 42 is less than 80%, the solid portion of the first end plate 41 or the second end plate 42 will be small, resulting in weak mechanical properties. During assembly and installation, it is prone to deformation or breakage, and after assembly, it cannot provide better protection for the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12. When applying force to clamp the laminated body to the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, the force transmitted to the laminated body through the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 cannot be effectively dispersed, resulting in excessive local stress on the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12, which can easily cause damage to the electrode sheet.

[0197] This embodiment controls the area ratio of the first flow window 43a on the first end plate 41 and the area ratio of the second flow window 43b on the second end plate 42. This ensures that the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction can enter the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b more smoothly, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency. In addition, it can also ensure the mechanical properties of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, improve the protective effect of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 on the laminate, reduce the material usage of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0198] In some embodiments, the thickness of either the first end plate 41 or the second end plate 42 in the first direction is greater than or equal to 0.1 mm and less than or equal to 1.5 mm.

[0199] The thickness of the first end plate 41 in the first direction can be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.44mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.95mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.33mm, 1.4mm, or 1.5mm. The thickness of the second end plate 42 in the first direction can be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.44mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.95mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.33mm, 1.4mm, or 1.5mm.

[0200] When the thickness of the first end plate 41 in the first direction is less than 0.1 mm, or the thickness of the second end plate 42 in the first direction is less than 0.1 mm, the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 are too thin and have weak mechanical properties. When a force is applied to the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, the first end plate 41 or the second end plate 42 is prone to deformation or breakage. Furthermore, the force applied to the first end plate 41 or the second end plate 42 locally cannot be effectively diffused, and cannot provide protection for the first electrode sheet 11 or the second electrode sheet 12.

[0201] When the thickness of the first end plate 41 in the first direction is greater than 1.5 mm, or the thickness of the second end plate 42 in the first direction is less than 1.5 mm, although the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 have strong mechanical properties, they will result in a larger volume of the electrolysis component 10. This is not conducive to its arrangement in the water inlet flow path, as it will encroach on the space of the water inlet flow path. Consequently, the fluid in the water inlet flow path will flow too fast when passing through the electrolysis component 10, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency between the fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the fluid in the water inlet flow path, leading to low electrolysis efficiency. At the same time, the material cost of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 will increase. When the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 are made of materials with high conductivity and mechanical properties, the manufacturing cost will be too high.

[0202] This embodiment optimizes the volumetric dimensions of the electrolysis assembly 10 by controlling the thickness of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, thereby improving the matching degree between the electrolysis assembly 10 and the cross-sectional dimensions of the water inlet flow path. This allows the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction to enter the first water inlet 14a and the second water inlet 14b more smoothly, improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency. In addition, it can also ensure the mechanical properties of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, improve the protective effect of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 on the laminate, reduce the material usage of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0203] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 10 further includes a first connecting component 2 and a second connecting component 3. Both the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 pass through the laminate, the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 along a first direction. Both the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 apply force to the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 along the first direction to clamp the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 to the laminate. The first connecting component 2 is electrically connected to the first electrode sheet 11 and electrically insulated from the second electrode sheet 12. The second connecting component 3 is electrically connected to the second electrode sheet 12 and electrically insulated from the first electrode sheet 11.

[0204] In this embodiment, the first electrode sheet 11 has two first connecting holes 110, the second electrode sheet 12 has two second connecting holes 120, the electrolytic membrane 13 has two third connecting holes 130, the first end plate 41 has two fourth connecting holes 410, and the second end plate 42 has two fifth connecting holes 420. When the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 are respectively attached to both sides of the laminate in the first direction, the connecting holes on different components correspond one-to-one and form two through channels. The first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 pass through the two through channels from bottom to top. By applying a force in the first direction to the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42, the first end plate 41, the first electrode sheet 11, the electrolytic membrane 13, the second electrode sheet 12, and the second end plate 42 are fixed to the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3.

[0205] In other words, the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 pass through the laminate, the first end plate 41, and the second end plate 42. The first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 apply a downward force to the first end plate 41 and an upward force to the second end plate 42 in a first direction, thereby tightening the laminate from both the upper and lower sides, so that the laminate, the first end plate 41, and the second end plate 42 are fixed to the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3. The first electrode sheet 11, the electrolytic membrane 13, and the second electrode sheet 12 are bonded together, which facilitates the fixation of the electrolytic membrane 13, facilitates the control of the pressure between the first electrode sheet 11, the electrolytic membrane 13, and the second electrode sheet 12, and ensures the adhesion between the three. It can also improve the integration of the laminate, reduce the spacing between the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12, and improve the electrolysis efficiency and effect. This embodiment can simplify the connection structure between components, improve the stability of the connection structure, and improve practicality.

[0206] The first connecting component 2 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 11 and electrically insulated from the second electrode plate 12, and the second connecting component 3 is electrically connected to the second electrode plate 12 and electrically insulated from the first electrode plate 11.

[0207] In this embodiment, the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 not only serve as connectors to fix the first electrode plate 11, the electrolytic membrane 13, and the second electrode plate 12, but also serve as conductive components to electrically connect the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, respectively. For example, when the first electrode plate 11 is the anode and the second electrode plate 12 is the cathode, the first connecting component 2 is connected to the positive electrode and the second connecting component 3 is connected to the negative electrode. As another example, when the first electrode plate 11 is the cathode and the second electrode plate 12 is the anode, the first connecting component 2 is connected to the negative electrode and the second connecting component 3 is connected to the positive electrode.

[0208] During installation, the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 can also be used to connect to the housing 6 of the device without the need for connecting parts. This allows the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 to integrate multiple functions, making them highly practical.

[0209] In this embodiment, the structure of the electrolysis assembly 10 is simplified by the provision of the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3. This makes the alignment between components easier and the connection more convenient, resulting in better overall stability. Compared to related technologies that use methods such as bending electrode sheets or welding ear plates onto electrode sheets to set wiring terminals, this effectively reduces the processing difficulty of the electrode sheets and the difficulty of leading out the wiring terminals, allowing for better control of the sealing performance of the equipment after assembly.

[0210] During use, the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 can also be reversed. For example, normally, the first connecting component 2 is connected to the positive terminal and the second connecting component 3 is connected to the negative terminal. After the equipment has been running for a period of time or after a decrease in the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 10 is detected, the first connecting component 2 is connected to the negative terminal and the second connecting component 3 is connected to the positive terminal, thus reversing the polarity and running for a set time. This allows the scale on the surface of the electrode plate to dissolve and fall off under the action of reverse current, avoiding hard scale, achieving self-cleaning and performance optimization of the system, and ensuring the normal and stable operation of the equipment.

[0211] In some embodiments, both the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 are conductive plates. For example, the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 are made of titanium plates, which have high conductivity and can improve conductivity efficiency. The first end plate 41 is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 11 and the first connecting member 2 and electrically insulated from the second connecting member 3. The second end plate 42 is electrically connected to the second electrode plate 12 and the second connecting member 3 and electrically insulated from the first connecting member 2. The first end plate 41 can distribute the current more evenly to the first electrode plate 11, and the second end plate 42 can distribute the current more evenly to the second electrode plate 12, so that a low-resistance current-collecting surface is formed between the first end plate 41 and the first electrode plate 11, and between the second end plate 42 and the second electrode plate 12, thereby reducing resistance and improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0212] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the surface of the first electrode sheet 11 facing the electrolytic membrane 13 is provided with a first water distribution slit 17a connected to the first water passage 14a, and / or the surface of the second electrode sheet 12 facing the electrolytic membrane 13 is provided with a second water distribution slit 17b connected to the second water passage 14b.

[0213] In this embodiment, by setting the first water distribution slit 17a and / or the second water distribution slit 17b, the fluid in the water passage can be guided to the area where the solid parts of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 overlap, thereby improving the diffusion effect of the fluid. This makes the fluid distribution between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 more uniform and consistent, and makes it easier for new fluid to enter between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. Electrolysis products are also easier to flow out, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency.

[0214] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water distribution seam 17a is less than 1 square millimeter, and / or the cross-sectional area of ​​the second water distribution seam 17b is less than 1 square millimeter. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first water distribution seam 17a is the cross-sectional area orthogonal to the length direction of the first water distribution seam 17a, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second water distribution seam 17b is the cross-sectional area orthogonal to the length direction of the second water distribution seam 17b.

[0215] The cross-sectional area of ​​the first water-laying seam 17a can be 0.1 square millimeters, 0.15 square millimeters, 0.18 square millimeters, 0.2 square millimeters, 0.25 square millimeters, 0.4 square millimeters, 0.45 square millimeters, 0.65 square millimeters, 0.8 square millimeters, or 0.97 square millimeters. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second water-laying seam 17b can be 0.1 square millimeters, 0.15 square millimeters, 0.18 square millimeters, 0.2 square millimeters, 0.25 square millimeters, 0.4 square millimeters, 0.45 square millimeters, 0.65 square millimeters, 0.8 square millimeters, or 0.97 square millimeters.

[0216] When the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water distribution slot 17a is greater than or equal to 1 square millimeter, or when the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water distribution slot 17a is greater than or equal to 1 square millimeter, the arrangement of the water distribution slot will affect the structural performance of the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12, resulting in a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12. At the same time, it will also reduce the effective area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12, which will significantly affect the electrolysis reaction area in the electrolysis assembly 10 and affect the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0217] In this embodiment, by controlling the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water distribution slot 17a and the second water distribution slot 17b, the fluid in the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b can diffuse more efficiently between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. This reduces the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, resulting in a larger area ratio of the first reaction part 132 and the second reaction part 134 on the electrolytic membrane 13, thereby improving the reaction efficiency of the electrolytic component 10.

[0218] In some embodiments, the first area ratio is greater than or equal to one-fortieth and less than or equal to one-thirtieth, and / or the second area ratio is greater than or equal to one-fortieth and less than or equal to one-thirtieth.

[0219] The first area ratio can be 1 / 40, 1 / 39, 2 / 77, 1 / 38, 1 / 36, 1 / 33, 2 / 65 or 1 / 30, and the second area ratio can be 1 / 40, 1 / 39, 2 / 77, 1 / 38, 1 / 36, 1 / 33, 2 / 65 or 1 / 30.

[0220] This embodiment, by arranging the first water distribution seam 17a and the second water distribution seam 17b, can further optimize the first area ratio and / or the second area ratio. Compared to an electrolysis assembly 10 without water distribution seams, under the condition that the electrolysis assembly 10 has the same electrolysis efficiency, this embodiment can make the first area ratio and / or the second area ratio smaller, further optimizing the operating load of the electrolysis assembly 10, ensuring that the electrolysis assembly 10 operates under more ideal working conditions, ensuring the normal and stable operation of each component of the electrolysis assembly 10, and improving the service life of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0221] In some embodiments, each first water passage 14a corresponds to a plurality of first water distribution slits 17a arranged circumferentially around the first water passage 14a, and / or each second water passage 14b corresponds to a plurality of second water distribution slits 17b arranged circumferentially around the second water passage 14b. This ensures better uniformity of fluid diffusion in the circumferential directions of the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b. The dimensions of the plurality of first water distribution slits 17a circumferentially around the same first water passage 14a can be different, and the dimensions of the plurality of second water distribution slits 17b circumferentially around the same second water passage 14b can also be different.

[0222] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 10 further includes a first insulating gasket 51 and a second insulating gasket 52. The first insulating gasket 51 is disposed between the first connecting member 2 and the second electrode sheet 12, and between the first connecting member 2 and the second end plate 42, so as to electrically insulate the first connecting member 2 from the second electrode sheet 12 and the second end plate 42. The second insulating gasket 52 is disposed between the second connecting member 3 and the first electrode sheet 11, and between the second connecting member 3 and the first electrode sheet 11, so as to electrically insulate the second connecting member 3 from the first electrode sheet 11 and the first end plate 41.

[0223] The first insulating pad 51 is used to isolate the first connecting member 2 and the second electrode plate 12, as well as the first connecting member 2 and the component electrically connected to the second electrode plate 12 (e.g., the second end plate 42), thereby achieving electrical insulation between the first connecting member 2 and the second electrode plate 12, so that the first connecting member 2 supplies power only to the first electrode plate 11. Similarly, the second insulating pad 52 is used to isolate the second connecting member 3 and the first electrode plate 11, as well as the second connecting member 3 and the component electrically connected to the first electrode plate 11 (e.g., the first end plate 41), thereby achieving electrical insulation between the second connecting member 3 and the first electrode plate 11.

[0224] In this embodiment, the first insulating pad 51 and the second insulating pad 52 can ensure that the electrolysis reaction of the electrolysis component 10 proceeds normally and stably.

[0225] Furthermore, each of the first insulating pad 51 and the second insulating pad 52 includes a plate 53 and a sleeve 54, with the plate 53 connected to the sleeve 54. The plate 53 of the first insulating pad 51 abuts against the side of the second end plate 42 away from the second electrode sheet 12 and between it and the first connecting member 2. The sleeve 54 of the first insulating pad 51 surrounds the first connecting member 2 and extends through the second end plate 42 into the second electrode sheet 12.

[0226] The plate 53 of the first insulating gasket 51 can achieve axial isolation between the second end plate 42 and the first connecting member 2. The sleeve 54 of the first insulating gasket 51 is sleeved on the outer side of a portion of the first connecting member 2 and sleeved on the inner side of the through hole of the second electrode plate 12 and the second end plate 42, preventing radial contact between the first connecting member 2 and the inner wall of the through hole of the second end plate 42 and the second electrode plate 12. Thus, the first insulating gasket 51 can separate the first connecting member 2 from the second end plate 42 and the second electrode plate 12, achieving electrical insulation.

[0227] The plate 53 of the second insulating pad 52 abuts against the side of the first end plate 41 away from the first electrode plate 11 and between it and the first connecting member 2. The sleeve 54 of the second insulating pad 52 surrounds the second connecting member 3 and extends through the first end plate 41 into the first electrode plate 11.

[0228] The plate 53 of the second insulating gasket 52 can achieve axial isolation between the first end plate 41 and the second connecting member 3. The sleeve 54 of the second insulating gasket 52 is sleeved on the outer side of a portion of the second connecting member 3 and sleeved on the inner side of the through hole of the first electrode plate 11 and the first end plate 41, preventing the second connecting member 3 from radially contacting the inner wall of the through hole of the first end plate 41 and the first electrode plate 11. Thus, the second insulating gasket 52 can separate the second connecting member 3 from the first end plate 41 and the first electrode plate 11, achieving electrical insulation.

[0229] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 2 includes a first bolt 21 and a first nut 22. The first bolt 21 passes sequentially through the first insulating gasket 51, the second end plate 42, the second electrode plate 12, the electrolytic membrane 13, the first electrode plate 11, the first end plate 41, and the first nut 22 along a first direction.

[0230] The second connecting component 3 includes a second bolt 31 and a second nut 32. The second bolt 31 passes through the second end plate 42, the second electrode plate 12, the electrolytic membrane 13, the first electrode plate 11, the first end plate 41, the second insulating gasket 52, and the second nut 32 in sequence along the first direction.

[0231] In this embodiment, the head of the first bolt 21 is located at the lower end of the first bolt 21, and the head of the first bolt 21 abuts against the plate 53 of the first insulating gasket 51. The sleeve 54 of the first insulating gasket 51 is fitted onto the first bolt 21, thereby preventing the head of the first bolt 21 from contacting the second end plate 42 for electrical conduction, and preventing the first bolt 21 from contacting the second end plate 42 and the inner wall of the through hole of the second electrode plate 12. The first nut 22 is connected to the first bolt 21 and is located above the laminate. The first nut 22 can abut against the first end plate 41 and achieve electrical connection, so that after the first bolt 21 is powered on, the current can be conducted to the first end plate 41 and the first electrode plate 11.

[0232] The head of the second bolt 31 is located at the lower end of the second bolt 31 and abuts against the second end plate 42, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the second bolt 31, the second end plate 42, and the second electrode plate 12. The second nut 32 is connected to the second bolt 31 and is located above the laminate. The second nut 32 abuts against the plate body 53 of the second insulating gasket 52. The sleeve body 54 of the second insulating gasket 52 is sleeved on the second bolt 31, thereby preventing the second bolt 31 from contacting the inner wall of the through hole of the first end plate 41 and the first electrode plate 11, and preventing the second nut 32 from directly contacting the first end plate 41 for conduction.

[0233] It should be noted that the first bolt 21 and the second bolt 31 can also be replaced with a screw without a head structure. The screw can have a fully threaded section or only a threaded section in some sections. When using a screw, multiple nuts can be set on the screw to fix the stacked body.

[0234] In this embodiment, the orientation of the heads of the first bolt 21 and the second bolt 31 can be adjusted as needed. For example, the heads of the first bolt 21 and the second bolt 31 can be located on the same side of the laminated body, and both can be located below the laminated body. Alternatively, the heads of the first bolt 21 and the second bolt 31 can be located on different sides of the laminated body, with one head located above the laminated body and the other head located below the laminated body.

[0235] In this embodiment, the positioning and connection between components can be achieved through the first bolt 21 and the second bolt 31, which makes assembly simple, and the electrical contact structure and electrical insulation structure have high reliability and good practicality.

[0236] Furthermore, the first connecting component 2 also includes a first conductive washer 23. The first insulating washer 51 abuts against the head of the first bolt 21, and the first conductive washer 23 surrounds the first bolt 21 and makes electrical contact with the first end plate 41 and the first nut 22. In this embodiment, the first conductive washer 23 can be a flat washer or a spring washer, or both. The first conductive washer 23 is located between the first end plate 41 and the first nut 22. The first conductive washer 23 can increase the contact area between the first connecting component 2 and the first end plate 41, improve conductivity, and enhance the stability of the connection structure between the first bolt 21 and the first nut 22.

[0237] The second connecting component 3 further includes a second conductive washer 33, and a second insulating washer 52 is disposed between the second nut 32 and the first end plate 41. The second conductive washer 33 surrounds the second bolt 31 and makes electrical contact with the head of the second bolt 31 and the second end plate 42. In this embodiment, the second conductive washer 33 can be a flat washer or a spring washer, or both. The second conductive washer 33 is located between the head of the second end plate 42 and the second bolt 31. The second conductive washer 33 can increase the contact area between the second connecting component 3 and the second end plate 42, improve conductivity, and also improve the stability of the connection structure between the second bolt 31 and the second nut 32.

[0238] Furthermore, the first connecting component 2 also includes a third nut 25, and the second connecting component 3 also includes a fourth nut 35. The third nut 25 is disposed on the first bolt 21 and the fourth nut 35 is disposed on the second bolt 31 to fix the electrolysis assembly 10 to the housing 6 of the equipment. This enables the installation of the electrolysis assembly 10. In this embodiment, the first connecting component 2 and the second connecting component 3 realize the fixing of the electrode sheet, the conduction of the electrode sheet, and the installation of the electrolysis assembly 10, realizing the integration of multiple functions. The structure has a high degree of integration and good practicality. At the same time, in this embodiment, the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 are installed in a suspended state, which can reduce the requirements for installation space and make the first electrode sheet 11 and the second electrode sheet 12 have sufficient distance between them and the housing 6 of the equipment, thereby improving the stability of the current circuit and the reliability of the working performance of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0239] In some embodiments, the first connecting member 2 has a first terminal portion 24 for connecting to a power source, and the second connecting member 3 has a second terminal portion 34 for connecting to a power source. In this embodiment, the upper ends of the first bolt 21 and the second bolt 31 constitute the first terminal portion 24 and the second terminal portion 34, which are respectively used to connect to the positive and negative terminals of the power source. This avoids welding terminals onto the electrode plates or bending the electrode plates to construct terminals, reducing the processing difficulty and cost of the electrode plates and improving the conductivity of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0240] In application, the laminate can be located inside the electrolysis chamber 61 of the housing 6 of the device, and the first terminal part 24 and the second terminal part 34 can be located outside the electrolysis chamber 61 of the housing 6 of the device, which facilitates wiring and cabling.

[0241] See Figure 14 and Figure 15 The electrolysis apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described below.

[0242] This disclosure also provides an electrolysis device 100, including a housing 6 and an electrolysis component 10, wherein the housing 6 has an electrolysis chamber 61; the electrolysis component 10 is an electrolysis component 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, and at least a portion of the electrolysis component 10 is located within the electrolysis chamber 61, which is used to communicate with the water inlet flow path of the clothing processing device 1000.

[0243] Specifically, the first electrode plate 11, the second electrode plate 12, and the electrolytic membrane 13 of the electrolysis assembly 10 are located inside the electrolysis chamber 61 and are used to electrolyze the fluid flowing into the electrolysis chamber 61.

[0244] The outer casing 6 provides a stable electrolysis chamber 61 for the electrolysis assembly 10, facilitating contact between the fluid and the electrolysis assembly 10, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and operational stability. In this embodiment, the fluid flowing into the electrolysis chamber 61 can be electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly 10 and then flow out, achieving electrolysis of the flowing fluid, improving electrolysis efficiency. The electrolysis device 100 can electrolyze water during fluid flow, realizing flow-through electrolysis.

[0245] The beneficial effects achieved by the electrolysis apparatus 100 in this embodiment are the same as those achieved by the electrolysis assembly 10 in the above embodiment, so they will not be described again.

[0246] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electrolysis assembly 10 located within the electrolysis chamber 61 is suspended within the electrolysis chamber 61. In this embodiment, the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3 are connected to the outer casing 6, thereby fixing the electrolysis assembly 10 to the outer casing 6. Simultaneously, the first electrode plate 11, the second electrode plate 12, the electrolytic membrane 13, and other structures of the electrolysis assembly 10 are suspended within the electrolysis chamber 61. A portion of the first connecting member 2 is located outside the outer casing 6 and forms a first terminal portion 24, and a portion of the second connecting member 3 is located outside the outer casing 6 and forms a second terminal portion 34. The electrolysis assembly 10 in this embodiment is easy to install, ensuring sufficient spacing between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the outer casing 6 of the device, improving the stability of the current circuit and the reliability of the electrolysis assembly 10's operating performance.

[0247] In some embodiments, the housing 6 has an inlet port 641 and an outlet port 651, which are connected to the electrolysis chamber 61. The inlet port 641 and the electrolysis assembly 10 are at least partially offset in the axial direction of the inlet port 641; and / or, the outlet port 651 and the electrolysis assembly 10 are at least partially offset in the axial direction of the outlet port 651.

[0248] In this embodiment, the axial directions of the liquid inlet port 641 and the liquid outlet port 651 are parallel to the vertical direction. The liquid inlet port 641 and the electrolysis component 10 are not opposite each other in the vertical direction, and the liquid outlet port 651 and the electrolysis component 10 are not opposite each other in the vertical direction.

[0249] In this embodiment, by misaligning the inlet port 641 and the electrolysis component 10, the fluid flowing into the electrolysis chamber 61 from the inlet port 641 will not directly impact the electrolysis component 10, thus preventing damage or surface material shedding from the electrolysis component 10, and avoiding contamination of the fluid. By misaligning the outlet port 651 and the electrolysis component 10, the interference of the electrolysis component 10 on the fluid discharge can be reduced, the flow resistance at the outlet port 651 can be reduced, the fluid discharge effect can be improved, and the scouring effect of the fluid on the electrolysis component 10 can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the fluid flowing out of the electrolysis chamber 61.

[0250] In some embodiments, the distance between the inlet port 641 and the outlet port 651 in the second direction is 25 mm to 50 mm.

[0251] Fluid enters the electrolysis chamber 61 through the inlet port 641, then flows in a generally second direction, and finally exits the electrolysis chamber 61 through the outlet port 651. The length direction of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 is generally parallel to the flow direction of the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61, which helps to balance the circumferential fluid flow velocity of the electrolysis assembly 10 and improve the mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency in the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0252] The distance from the inlet port 641 to the outlet port 651 in the second direction can be 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32.5 mm, 35 mm, 36.6 mm, 40 mm, 44 mm, 47 mm or 50 mm.

[0253] When the distance from the inlet port 641 to the outlet port 651 in the second direction is less than 25 mm, the space of the electrolysis chamber 61 in the second direction will be too small. After part of the electrolysis component 10 is arranged in the electrolysis chamber 61, the fluid is prone to impacting the electrolysis component 10, which may cause the conductive coating 15 or the substrate 16 of the electrolysis component 10 to peel off. At the same time, if the size of the electrolysis component 10 in the second direction is restricted too much, the volume of the electrolysis component 10 may be too small, the electrolysis reaction area may be too small, and the electrolysis component 10 may need to operate under high load to meet the concentration requirements of the clothing treatment equipment 1000 for the electrolysis products, which will affect the stability of the electrolysis component 10.

[0254] When the distance from the liquid inlet port 641 to the liquid outlet port 651 in the second direction is greater than 50 mm, it will result in a large reserved space in the electrolysis chamber 61 and an excessively large outer shell 6. This will make it difficult to place the electrolysis device 100 in the clothing processing equipment 1000, and will encroach on the installation space of the control components, material box 8, valve group and other components in the clothing processing equipment 1000. It will also easily cause interference during assembly and have poor practicality.

[0255] In this embodiment, the distance between the liquid inlet port 641 and the liquid outlet port 651 in the second direction is controlled between 25 mm and 50 mm, which can meet the installation space requirements of the electrolysis assembly 10, while improving the stability of fluid flow in the electrolysis chamber 61, making the electrolysis assembly 10 and the outer shell 6 more compact, and avoiding direct impact of fluid on both ends of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the second direction.

[0256] In some embodiments, the ratio of the length of either the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12 to the distance between the inlet port 641 and the outlet port 651 in the second direction is greater than 70%.

[0257] The ratio of the length of the first electrode 11 (its dimension in the second direction) to the distance between the inlet port 641 and the outlet port 651 in the second direction can be 71%, 75%, 80%, 82%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.

[0258] The ratio of the length (dimension in the second direction) of the second electrode 12 to the distance in the second direction between the inlet port 641 and the outlet port 651 can be 71%, 75%, 80%, 82%, 85%, 90%, or 95%.

[0259] When the ratio of the length of the first electrode plate 11 to the distance between the liquid inlet port 641 and the liquid outlet port 651 in the second direction is less than or equal to 70%, or when the ratio of the length of the second electrode plate 12 to the distance between the liquid inlet port 641 and the liquid outlet port 651 in the second direction is less than or equal to 70%, it is easy to result in a large reserved space in the electrolysis chamber 61 in the second direction, resulting in excessive restricted space in the electrolysis chamber 61, poor structural design rationality, no greater improvement in electrolysis performance, and instead, an excessively large external size and low power density of the electrolysis device 100.

[0260] This embodiment controls the ratio of the length of either the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12 to the distance between the liquid inlet port 641 and the liquid outlet port 651 in the second direction. This can improve the power density of the electrolysis device 100, reduce the volume of the electrolysis device 100 while ensuring that the concentration of the electrolysis products meets the requirements of the clothing processing equipment 1000, and reduce the space requirements of the electrolysis device 100, thus improving its practicality.

[0261] In some embodiments, the ratio of the width of either the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12 to the width of the electrolysis chamber 61 is greater than 90%. The width of the electrolysis chamber 61 is its dimension in a third direction, and the widths of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 are also their dimensions in a third direction.

[0262] The ratio of the width of the first electrode 11 to the width of the electrolytic cavity 61 can be 91%, 92%, 93.5%, 94%, 95%, 95.8%, 97%, or 99%. The ratio of the width of the second electrode 12 to the width of the electrolytic cavity 61 can be 91%, 92%, 93.5%, 94%, 95%, 95.8%, 97%, or 99%.

[0263] When the ratio of the width of the first electrode plate 11 to the width of the electrolysis chamber 61 is less than or equal to 90%, or the ratio of the width of the second electrode plate 12 to the width of the electrolysis chamber 61 is less than or equal to 90%, excessive fluid will flow through the electrolysis assembly 10 in the third direction within the electrolysis chamber 61. This makes it difficult for the fluid to diffuse through the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b to the space between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12. Consequently, the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61 and the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 in the electrolysis assembly 10 is low, affecting the electrolysis efficiency.

[0264] This embodiment controls the ratio of the width of either the first electrode plate 11 or the second electrode plate 12 to the width of the electrolysis chamber 61, thereby increasing the power density of the electrolysis device 100. While ensuring the concentration of the electrolyzed products meets the requirements of the clothing processing equipment 1000, it further reduces the volume of the electrolysis device 100, lowering its installation space requirements and improving its practicality. Simultaneously, it optimizes the flow rate of fluid at different circumferential positions of the electrolysis component 10, improving the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61 and the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 in the electrolysis component 10, thus increasing the electrolysis efficiency.

[0265] In some embodiments, the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolytic chamber 61 is 10%-20%. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first electrode plate 11 is the cross-sectional area of ​​its section orthogonal to the second direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second electrode plate 12 is the cross-sectional area of ​​its section orthogonal to the second direction, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolytic chamber 61 is the cross-sectional area of ​​its section orthogonal to the second direction. The ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolytic chamber 61 can be 10%, 11%, 12.5%, 13%, 15%, 16.4%, 18%, 19.5%, or 20%.

[0266] When the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolysis chamber 61 is less than 10%, the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61 flows more through the circumferential side of the electrolysis assembly 10 and has difficulty entering the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b of the electrolysis assembly 10. Too much fluid will not be transferred to the fluid in the electrolysis assembly 10, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency between the fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the fluid on the outer circumference of the electrolysis assembly 10, which affects the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0267] When the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolysis chamber 61 is greater than 20%, it can easily lead to an excessively small circumferential gap in the electrolysis assembly 10, increasing the fluid resistance in the water inlet path. This is detrimental to water intake into the processing cylinder 7 of the clothing processing equipment 1000, affecting the water intake effect. Simultaneously, it can also easily lead to an excessively fast circumferential fluid flow velocity in the electrolysis assembly 10. The high-speed fluid flow makes it difficult for the fluid to enter the first water inlet hole 14a and the second water inlet hole 14b, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency between the fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the fluid on the outer circumference of the electrolysis assembly 10, thus affecting the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0268] This embodiment controls the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolysis chamber 61, which can further optimize the spatial layout between the electrolysis chamber 61 and the electrolysis assembly 10, optimize the flow rate of fluid at different circumferential positions of the electrolysis assembly 10, improve the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61 and the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 in the electrolysis assembly 10, and improve the electrolysis efficiency.

[0269] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 10 includes a first end plate 41 and a second end plate 42. The first end plate 41 is disposed on the side of the first electrode sheet 11 away from the second electrode sheet 12, and the second end plate 42 is disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet 12 away from the first electrode sheet 11. The first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 clamp the laminate together along a first direction. The ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 is 10%-70%.

[0270] The height of the electrolysis chamber 61 is its height dimension in the first direction shown in the figure. The structures of the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in this embodiment can be the same as those in the above embodiments, and therefore will not be described again. Furthermore, the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 in this embodiment can be 10%, 13%, 15%, 20%, 26%, 30%, 38%, 45%, 50%, 52%, 60%, 68.5%, or 70%.

[0271] The ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 can be different at different positions in the first direction. For example, at positions adjacent to the first water inlet 14a and / or the second water inlet 14b, the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 can be greater than the ratio at other positions.

[0272] When the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 is less than 10%, most of the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction will not transfer mass with the electrolysis assembly 10. Most of the fluid is far away from the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, making it difficult to enter the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b of the electrolysis assembly 10. Too much fluid will not transfer mass with the fluid in the electrolysis assembly 10, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency between the fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the fluid on the outer periphery of the electrolysis assembly 10, thus affecting the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0273] When the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 is less than 70%, it is easy to cause the flow gap on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction to be too small, resulting in less fluid and a higher flow rate. The high-speed flowing fluid is difficult to enter the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, resulting in low mass transfer efficiency between the fluid between the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 and the fluid on the outer periphery of the electrolysis assembly 10, which affects the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0274] This embodiment controls the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61. This further optimizes the spatial layout of the electrolysis chamber 61 and the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction, optimizes the flow parameters of the fluids on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction, promotes mass transfer between the fluids on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in the first direction and the fluids in the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, improves the mass transfer efficiency between the fluids in the electrolysis chamber 61 and the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 in the electrolysis assembly 10, and improves the electrolysis efficiency.

[0275] In some embodiments, the first end plate 41 is provided with a first flow window 43a, which penetrates the first end plate 41 in a first direction and is connected to the first water passage 14a, and / or the second end plate 42 is provided with a second flow window 43b, which penetrates the second end plate 42 in a first direction and is connected to the second water passage 14b. In the first direction, at the first flow window 43a and / or the second flow window 43b, the ratio of the height of the electrolysis assembly 10 to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 is greater than 50%.

[0276] The structural dimensions of the first flow window 43a and the second flow window 43b in this embodiment are the same as those in the embodiments described above, and therefore will not be repeated. The height of the electrolysis assembly 10, located near the first flow window 43a and the second flow window 43b, is the distance in the first direction between the first flow window 43a on the first end plate 41 and the second flow window 43b on the second end plate 42. The ratio of the height of the electrolysis assembly 10 to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 can be 51%, 53%, 55%, 55.6%, 59%, 60%, 63%, 67%, or 69%, thereby making it easier for the fluid flowing through the ports of the first flow window 43a and the second flow window 43b to enter the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, causing the fluid to converge towards the first flow window 43a and the second flow window 43b. The ratio of the height of the electrolysis assembly 10 to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 does not exceed 70%, thereby avoiding the fluid from being unable to enter the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b due to excessive fluid flow.

[0277] At the first flow window 43a and / or the second flow window 43b, this embodiment controls the ratio of the height of the electrolysis component 10 to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61, which can further improve the fluid mass transfer efficiency at this location, improve the diffusion effect of the fluid on both sides of the electrolysis component 10 in the first direction to the first water passage 14a and the second water passage 14b, thereby improving the fluid mass transfer efficiency between the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61 and the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 in the electrolysis component 10, and improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0278] In some embodiments, a flow guiding component 66 is provided within the electrolysis chamber 61. The flow guiding component 66 is located on at least one side of the electrolysis chamber 61 in a first direction. The flow guiding component 66 can adjust the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61 by adjusting the height of the corresponding position of the electrolysis chamber 61. The flow guiding component 66 is used to guide the fluid entering the electrolysis chamber 61 towards the electrolysis assembly 10. It can be understood that the flow guiding component 66 in this embodiment can guide the fluid to flow within the electrolysis chamber 61, thereby causing the fluid to converge towards the first flow window 43a and the second flow window 43b of the electrolysis assembly 10, allowing more fluid to diffuse into the electrolysis area of ​​the electrolysis assembly 10, ensuring continuous, stable, and efficient electrolysis operation of the electrolysis assembly 10, while facilitating the smooth flow of electrolysis products out of the electrolysis chamber 61 with the fluid, thus improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0279] In this embodiment, the fluid flowing into the electrolysis chamber 61 can be electrolyzed by the electrolysis component 10 and then flow out, thereby realizing the electrolysis of the flowing fluid and improving the electrolysis efficiency. The electrolysis device 100 can electrolyze water during the fluid flow process, realizing flow-through electrolysis. When applied to clothing processing equipment 1000 such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos, it can electrolyze the flowing water during water intake, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0280] In some embodiments, the flow guiding component 66 extends toward the electrolysis assembly 10 and is spaced apart from the electrolysis assembly 10. In this embodiment, when the flow guiding component 66 extends toward the electrolysis assembly 10, it can guide the fluid flow toward the electrolysis assembly 10, causing the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61 that is far from the electrolysis assembly 10 to gather toward the electrolysis assembly 10, while avoiding contact between the flow guiding component 66 and the electrolysis assembly 10, maintaining a certain distance between them, and ensuring the normal and stable operation of the assembly.

[0281] In some embodiments, a current-passing gap is formed between one end of the current-passing member 66 adjacent to the electrolysis component 10 and the electrolysis component 10, and the height of the current-passing gap in a first direction is 1 mm to 4 mm. For example, the height H of the current-passing gap is 1 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.78 mm, 3.4 mm or 4 mm.

[0282] This embodiment controls the gap between the flow guide component 66 and the electrolysis component 10. This allows the fluid to converge towards the electrolysis component 10 while preventing the height H of the flow gap from being too large, which would prevent the fluid from converging towards the electrolysis component 10. At the same time, it prevents the fluid flow rate from being too fast due to the gap between the flow guide component 66 and the electrolysis component 10 being too small, which would prevent the fluid from making sufficient contact with the electrolysis component 10 located downstream of the flow guide component 66. By reasonably controlling the height of the flow gap, this embodiment ensures that the electrolysis component 10 located downstream of the flow guide component 66 can also make sufficient contact with the fluid, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0283] In some embodiments, the drainage component 66 is connected to the housing 6, and the drainage component 66 can be integrally formed with the housing 6. For example, during manufacturing, the drainage component 66 and the housing 6 are integrally injection molded. Alternatively, the drainage component 66 can be manufactured as a separate component and then connected to the housing 6. For example, after the drainage component 66 is manufactured as a separate component, it is installed on the housing 6 using bolts or other connecting parts or snap-fit ​​structures. This embodiment can arrange the drainage component 66 in different structural forms. Based on the structure and arrangement of the drainage component 66, a suitable processing method can be selected to reduce the processing difficulty and cost of the component.

[0284] In some embodiments, there are multiple drainage components 66, which are disposed on both sides of the electrolysis assembly 10 in a first direction and spaced apart from the electrolysis assembly 10.

[0285] In this embodiment, multiple flow guiding components 66 can be arranged opposite to each other. Under the combined action of multiple flow guiding components 66, the fluid is gathered toward the electrolysis assembly 10. The multiple flow guiding components 66 are arranged on opposite sides of the electrolysis assembly 10, thereby gathering the fluid near the side wall of the electrolysis chamber 61 toward the center of the electrolysis chamber 61, so that the electrolysis assembly 10 located in the center of the electrolysis chamber 61 has sufficient and effective contact with the fluid, thereby improving the contact effect between the fluid and the electrolysis assembly 10 and the electrolysis efficiency.

[0286] Of course, some of the multiple flow guiding components 66 can be used to guide the fluid in different sections to converge toward the electrolysis component 10. For example, if one part of the flow guiding component 66 and another part of the flow guiding component 66 are arranged at intervals along the flow direction of the fluid in the electrolysis chamber 61, then the fluid can be guided toward the electrolysis component 10 when it passes through the two parts of the flow guiding component 66. When the size of the electrolysis chamber 61 is large, the electrolysis effect can be further improved by converging the fluid toward the electrolysis component 10 multiple times.

[0287] In some embodiments, the draining member 66 is a baffle, which is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 6 and integrally formed with the housing 6. The free end of the baffle extends toward the electrolysis assembly 10 and is spaced apart from the electrolysis assembly 10. A draining passage 611 is defined between the free end of the baffle and the inner wall of the housing 6 opposite to the free end of the baffle and / or between the free ends of the baffles opposite to each other.

[0288] In this embodiment, a baffle is provided on at least one side of the inner wall of the outer casing 6 in the first direction. The figure shows two baffles facing each other on the inner wall of the outer casing 6. The baffles can block the flow of fluid and cause the fluid to converge toward the flow path 611, thereby increasing the flow rate and pressure of the fluid at the flow path 611, so that more fluid comes into contact with the electrolysis component 10 and diffuses into the electrolysis area, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency and the outflow of electrolysis products.

[0289] The end of the baffle that is away from the inner wall of the outer casing 6 is the free end; in other words, the end of the baffle that does not contact the inner wall of the outer casing 6 is the free end.

[0290] There can be one baffle, which is disposed on one side of the inner wall of the housing 6 in a first direction. For example, if the baffle is disposed on the upper wall surface of the inner wall of the housing 6, then the lower end of the baffle is a free end, and a flow path 611 is defined between the lower end of the baffle and the lower wall surface of the inner wall of the housing 6. The first flow window 43a of the electrolysis assembly 10 is arranged adjacent to the flow path 611. This allows the fluid to converge towards the flow path 611, improving the contact effect between the electrolysis assembly 10 and the fluid.

[0291] There can also be two baffles. One baffle is located on the upper wall of the inner wall of the outer casing 6, and the other baffle is located on the lower wall of the inner wall of the outer casing 6. The two baffles are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, and a flow path 611 is defined between the free ends of the two baffles.

[0292] Furthermore, the flow area of ​​the guiding passage 611 is smaller than the flow area of ​​other parts of the electrolysis chamber 61. It can be understood that with a smaller flow area of ​​the guiding passage 611, the fluid has a greater flow velocity and pressure when flowing through it, which allows the fluid in the electrolysis region of the electrolysis assembly 10 to have a faster flow velocity, facilitating the replenishment of new fluid into the electrolysis region and allowing the electrolysis products to flow out from the electrolysis region.

[0293] The flow area of ​​the flow path 611 should not be too small. If the flow path 611 is too small, the pressure inside the electrolysis chamber 61 will be too high, which is not conducive to the sealing of the outer shell 6 and the circuit connected to the electrolysis chamber 61. Therefore, the flow area of ​​the flow path 611 can be determined according to the sealing requirements of the entire fluid conveying circuit to ensure the sealing performance of the circuit.

[0294] This embodiment limits the arrangement of baffles by parameters such as the ratio of the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first electrode plate 11 and the second electrode plate 12 to the cross-sectional area of ​​the electrolysis chamber 61, and the ratio of the distance between the first end plate 41 and the second end plate 42 in the first direction to the height of the electrolysis chamber 61. This provides reliable data reference for the arrangement of baffles. By setting baffles, when the dimensional relationship between the electrolysis chamber 61 and the electrolysis assembly 10 meets at least part of the above-mentioned ratio limitations, the mass transfer efficiency and electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 10 can be improved, making the electrolysis device 100 more compact and practical.

[0295] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides a garment processing apparatus 1000, including an electrolysis component 10 as described in any of the above embodiments or an electrolysis device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0296] The clothing processing device 1000 of this embodiment can install the electrolysis component 10 or the electrolysis device 100 in the pipeline between the water inlet valve 91 and the processing chamber 701 of the clothing processing device 1000. The electrolysis component 10 or the electrolysis device 100 is used to electrolyze the fluid (e.g., water). The electrolyzed fluid flows to the processing chamber 701 to realize flow-through electrolysis, improve the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 100, make reasonable use of the space inside the casing, and improve the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure.

[0297] The beneficial effects achieved by the garment processing device 1000 in this embodiment are the same as those achieved by the electrolysis component 10 or electrolysis device 100 in the above embodiments, and therefore will not be described again.

[0298] The clothing processing device 1000 in this embodiment can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo. The clothing processing device 1000 can be a single-drum device with one processing drum 7, or a multi-drum device including multiple processing drums 7.

[0299] The following describes a garment processing device 1000 in which an electrolysis device 100 is mounted on a material box 8 of a garment processing device 1000.

[0300] See Figures 16-18 A garment processing device 1000 includes a housing, a processing cylinder 7 and a material box 8. The processing cylinder 7 is disposed inside the housing and has a processing chamber 701.

[0301] The material box 8 is located in the housing, the electrolysis device 100 is located on top of the material box 8, and the electrolysis assembly 10 can be horizontally stacked inside the housing 6. The material box 8 has a first water inlet 801, a first water outlet 802, a liquid inlet channel 803 and a liquid outlet channel 804. The electrolysis chamber 61 of the electrolysis device 100 is connected to the liquid inlet channel 803 and the liquid outlet channel 804.

[0302] In use, the clothing treatment device 1000 of this embodiment of the present disclosure allows water to enter the liquid inlet channel 803 in the material box 8 through the first water inlet 801. The water in the liquid inlet channel 803 enters the electrolysis device 100 and undergoes electrolysis, generating a fluid containing strong oxidizing active products such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone. The fluid is discharged from the electrolysis chamber 61 and enters the liquid outlet channel 804. The fluid in the liquid outlet channel 804 enters the treatment chamber 701 of the treatment cylinder 7 through the first water outlet 802, and is used for sterilization and disinfection of clothing, increasing the washing ratio, and preventing color bleeding.

[0303] Since the electrolysis unit 100 is no longer directly installed inside the processing cylinder 7, but instead located in the material box 8, the arrangement of the electrolysis unit 100 does not affect the welding of the material box 8, reduces the space occupied on the side of the material box 8, reduces the overall width of the material box 8, and avoids encroaching on the installation space of display components, electrical control components, wiring terminals, and other components installed on the side of the material box 8. This results in higher space utilization and facilitates the overall removal and maintenance of the material box 8. The electrolysis assembly 10 is horizontally stacked inside the outer casing 6, which reduces the overall height of the electrolysis unit 100 and improves structural compactness.

[0304] Electrolysis begins before water enters the treatment chamber 701, achieving flow-through electrolysis and improving electrolysis efficiency. Simultaneously, it prevents the electrolysis device 100 from contacting the detergent and avoids lint from clothing adhering to the electrolysis device 100, thus preventing any impact on the electrolysis effect and further improving efficiency. The electrolysis device 100 is located on the material box 8 outside the treatment cylinder 7, making efficient use of the space within the casing and improving layout rationality and structural compactness.

[0305] The feed box 8 has a detergent chamber 805, which is connected to the liquid outlet channel 804 for conveying detergent into the liquid outlet channel 804 so that the detergent mixes with the fluid flowing out from the electrolysis chamber 61 in the liquid outlet channel 804.

[0306] The detergent dispenser 8 has a dedicated detergent chamber 805 for storing detergent. When the garment processing equipment 1000 is running, the detergent in the detergent chamber 805 is conveyed to the liquid outlet channel 804. In the liquid outlet channel 804, the detergent mixes with the fluid flowing from the electrolysis unit 100, ensuring thorough mixing of the detergent with active substances such as hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone generated during electrolysis, before being conveyed to the processing drum 7. This maximizes the cleaning effect during garment processing. The mixing of detergent and fluid creates a synergistic effect, enhancing the cleaning performance and making it easier to remove stains and bacteria from clothing.

[0307] This embodiment also includes an inlet valve 91 and a reversing valve 92, both of which are located within the machine housing. The electrolysis device 100 is situated between the inlet valve 91 and the reversing valve 92. The liquid inlet channel 803 is connected to the inlet valve 91, and the liquid outlet channel 804 is connected to the reversing valve 92.

[0308] In this embodiment, there are multiple processing cylinders 7, which are connected to a reversing valve 92 to switch the connection between the outlet of the electrolysis device 100 and the processing chamber 701 of the multiple processing cylinders 7.

[0309] Understandably, the inlet valve 91 is connected to the first inlet 801 via the first water pipe 93, and the reversing valve 92 is connected to the first outlet 802 via the second water pipe 94. The first water pipe 93 connects to the inlet valve 91, which controls the inflow of water, thereby controlling the inlet flow rate and pressure. The second water pipe 94 connects to the reversing valve 92, allowing the reversing valve 92 to switch between different treatment chambers 701 of the treatment cylinder 7 and the first outlet 802 as needed, thereby controlling the drainage.
