Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of washing machine electrolysis water system, specifically relating to an electrolysis electrode power line clutch conductivity system and an electrolysis water washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Washing machines are common household appliances. Traditional washing machines are mainly top-loading (pulsator) washing machines, which rely on the pulsator to agitate the clothes and water in the drum, causing friction and cleaning. Later, front-loading (drum) washing machines were developed, which use a horizontal rotating drum to tumble and drop clothes for cleaning. In recent years, electrolyzed water washing machines have been developed. These machines use an electrolysis system to electrolyze the water, generating negative oxygen ions and hydroxide ions. The high permeability of the ionized water and the ions' ability to decompose and adsorb stains and dust effectively remove dirt from clothes, solving the water pollution problem caused by using laundry detergent or liquid. The electrolysis also produces active oxygen and hypochlorous acid, which has a certain bactericidal effect on clothes. However, in the past, the electrolysis device in electrolyzed water washing machines was installed outside the rotating drum. Some of the acidic and alkaline substances produced during electrolysis were neutralized as they entered the drum, reducing the cleaning and bactericidal effects of the electrolyzed water.
[0003] Later, researchers developed water-electrolyzed washing machines without an outer tub and water-electrolyzed systems that can be directly installed inside the inner tub of a washing machine. However, the existing water-electrolyzed washing machine technologies are not mature enough and still have some technical problems that need further improvement. For example, a water-electrolyzed washing machine system disclosed in patent application number 202310145924.X uses an impeller and a rotating inner drum as the cathode and anode of the water electrolysis, respectively. The impeller is connected to a DC power supply in sequence through an impeller power shaft, an inner drum drive shaft, a bearing seat, and ground. When the washing machine is running, the balls inside the bearing seat rotate continuously. Current is conducted to the impeller through the bearing, which generates electric sparks during the rolling of the bearing balls, thereby damaging the bearing.
[0004] Patent documents 202310876497.2 and 202310573557.3 disclose an electrolysis system for a washing machine. However, the electrolysis gaps between the cathode and anode plates are easily clogged by accumulated dirt, affecting the efficiency of water electrolysis. Conversely, excessively large gaps can reduce the electrolysis current, further decreasing efficiency. Furthermore, both the two arc-shaped electrodes and the concentric annular electrodes have relatively complex and unreliable installation methods, and their manufacturing costs are relatively high. In both patents, the power supply lines from the electrolysis power source (positive and negative terminals of a DC power source) to the cathode and anode electrodes are connected via two sets of brush contacts on a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the fixed outer shell of the washing machine and two sets of annular contacts on the rotating inner drum. This results in a relatively complex conductive structure for the two electrolysis electrodes, and the brush contacts and annular contacts are prone to wear and difficult to repair or replace. Therefore, in conclusion, it is necessary to further improve and refine the existing water electrolysis system of water electrolysis washing machines. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above situation, this utility model provides an electrolytic electrode power supply circuit clutch conductivity system and an electrolytic water washing machine. By adopting a special electrolytic electrode arrangement and a clutchable electrode power supply system, the technical problems existing in the prior art of existing electrolytic water washing machines are effectively avoided.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a clutch-conductive system for an electrolytic electrode power supply line, including an anode and a cathode. Both the anode and cathode are formed by multiple concentrically spaced conductive rings made of conductive material. The conductive rings forming the anode and cathode are connected in series by a first conductive bridge and a second conductive bridge. The first and second conductive bridges are respectively provided with anode terminals and cathode terminals for corresponding connection to the positive and negative poles of the electrolytic power supply. The conductive rings of the anode are correspondingly and crosswise arranged in the gaps between the conductive rings of the cathode. Isolation notches one and two are respectively provided at the intersections of the conductive rings of the cathode and anode corresponding to the first and second conductive bridges, realizing physical isolation between the conductive rings of the anode and cathode.
[0007] The electrolytic electrode power circuit clutch conductivity system also includes a fixed outer shell and a rotating inner barrel rotatably disposed inside the fixed outer shell, as well as the anode and cathode of the electrolytic electrode fixedly laid on the bottom upper surface of the rotating inner barrel. The rotating inner barrel is preferably made of insulating plastic. A stainless steel tray is connected to the bottom of the rotating inner barrel, and the stainless steel tray is coaxially connected to the inner barrel's rotating shaft. The anode and cathode are respectively connected to sliding contact one and sliding contact two through conductive connecting piece one and conductive connecting piece two, respectively. The clutch conductivity system also includes a lifting slider coaxially slidably sleeved on the outside of the inner barrel's rotating shaft. A clutch slip ring one is fixedly disposed on the top surface of the lifting slider, and a clutch slip ring two is fixedly disposed on the upper side wall of the lifting slider. The clutch slip ring one and clutch slip ring two are insulated from each other.
[0008] When the lifting slider slides up to the highest position along the inner barrel pivot, the first clutch slip ring and the second clutch slip ring can respectively slide against the first sliding contact and the second sliding contact to achieve a sliding electrical connection; when the lifting slider descends to the lowest point, the first clutch slip ring and the second clutch slip ring can be completely disengaged from the first sliding contact and the second sliding contact, thereby achieving insulation isolation between the two clutch slip rings and the two sliding contacts.
[0009] Furthermore, the clutch conductive system also includes a lifting lever for driving the lifting slider to rise or fall. One end of the lifting lever is rotatably hinged to the bottom of the fixed housing via a hinge seat, and the other end of the lifting lever is movably pinned to a power traction mechanism for driving its lifting action. The middle part of the lifting lever is movably connected to the lifting slider, that is, while the lifting slider slides up and down with the inner barrel pivot, it also slides relative to the lifting lever.
[0010] Furthermore, the lifting slider has a circular structure, with two symmetrical guide grooves that are narrow in the middle and wide at both ends on its lower outer wall. The upper and lower inner surfaces of the guide grooves are arc-shaped contact surfaces. During the lifting process, the upper and lower surfaces of the lifting lever are always in sliding contact with the guide grooves. The lifting lever has a tuning fork-shaped structure, with two forked rods sliding through the middle of the two guide grooves of the lifting slider, and the ends of the two forked rods are rotatably hinged to the bottom of the fixed housing through hinge seats. The other end of the lifting lever is connected to the power traction mechanism by a movable pin.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom circumference of the rotating inner tub has three evenly spaced drain outlets, and below each drain outlet are three liftable drain plugs arranged in a triangle on the lifting bracket. The lifting bracket can only slide up and down along the inner tub's axis at a fixed angle, while simultaneously rotating synchronously with the rotating inner tub. The three drain plugs can rise or fall simultaneously with the lifting bracket, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the three drain outlets of the rotating inner tub. The lifting bracket is slidably fitted onto the outside of the inner tub's axis through its central hole, and is movably positioned above the lifting slider. Sliding contact one and sliding contact two are both fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lifting bracket. A drainage control mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the lifting bracket and the three drain plugs is provided at the bottom of the fixed outer casing.
[0012] Furthermore, the power traction mechanism includes a support base connected to the bottom of the fixed housing and a telescopic slide rod that can be raised and lowered vertically, as well as a return spring coaxially sleeved on the outside of the telescopic slide rod. The telescopic slide rod slides through the through hole in the middle of the support base. The upper end of the telescopic slide rod is connected to the lifting lever with a movable pin, and the lower end of the telescopic slide rod is connected to the drainage control mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, both conductive connecting piece one and conductive connecting piece two are stainless steel connecting pieces, and both sliding contact one and sliding contact two are stainless steel contacts correspondingly connected to the two stainless steel connecting pieces. The lifting bracket and the lifting slider are preferably made of insulating plastic. One end of each of the two stainless steel connecting pieces connected to the stainless steel contact is fixedly connected inside the lifting bracket. Both clutch slip ring one and clutch slip ring two are stainless steel rings, and both stainless steel rings are fixedly connected inside the lifting slider. The return spring is a tower-shaped spring, which has the return elasticity to lift the lifting lever and the lifting slider upwards. The tower-shaped spring is also covered with a flexible rubber protective sleeve to prevent washing water and lint impurities in the washing water from entering the tower-shaped spring. The drainage control mechanism is preferably a drainage traction motor. The drainage traction motor can pull the lifting lever and the lifting slider to control the lifting action through the traction rope, as well as control the opening and closing of the three drain outlets of the rotating inner tub by the lifting bracket and the three drain plugs.
[0014] In addition, this utility model also provides an electrolyzed water washing machine, which includes the electrolysis electrode power line clutch conductive system described above.
[0015] Preferably, the electrolyzed water washing machine further includes a pulsator shaft and a washing pulsator fixedly connected to the top of the pulsator shaft, as well as a lint filter for purifying and filtering lint impurities in the washing water, which is arranged around the inner edge of the bottom of the rotating inner tub. The electrolysis electrode is fixedly laid on the rotating inner tub below the washing pulsator. The pulsator shaft is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the inner tub shaft. Both the inner tub shaft and the pulsator shaft are connected to the main motor of the electrolyzed water washing machine through a clutch. The main motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed outer casing.
[0016] Preferably, the water electrolysis washing machine further includes a DC power supply for providing electrolytic energy to the electrolysis electrodes. The fixed outer casing is provided with terminals one and two respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the DC power supply. The other ends of terminals one and two are respectively connected to clutch slip ring one and clutch slip ring two on the lifting slider through connecting wire one and connecting wire two. Connecting wire one and connecting wire two are preferably made of conductive copper busbars.
[0017] This utility model also includes other components that enable its normal use, all of which are conventional technical means in the field. In addition, devices or components not limited in this utility model, such as: the fixed outer shell of the washing machine, the rotating inner tub, the washing impeller, the impeller shaft, the inner tub shaft, the main motor, the clutch, the DC power supply, and the lint filter, all adopt the prior art in the field.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Firstly, this invention provides an electrolytic electrode that differs from the cathode and anode electrodes in existing water electrolysis washing machines. This electrolytic electrode is fixedly laid directly below the washing impeller at the bottom of the rotating inner tub. During the washing process, the washing water is drawn from below the impeller to above it due to the negative pressure created by the rotation of the impeller. The washing water in the inner tub enters from the annular inlet above the impeller under the centrifugal force of the rotating impeller, and simultaneously returns to the inner tub through the lint filter around the bottom of the tub. This achieves the circulation and purification of the washing water. At the same time, the flowing washing water can also promptly carry away the electrolyzed water and bubbles generated by electrolysis above the electrolytic electrode, and prevent lint and impurities from depositing on the surfaces of the cathode and anode electrodes. This is conducive to the continuous and smooth progress of the water electrolysis reaction and improves the efficiency of water electrolysis. In addition, the manufacturing cost of this electrolytic electrode is relatively lower, and because it is laid flat at the bottom of the rotating inner tub, the installation stability of the cathode and anode electrodes is relatively higher, and they are not easy to loosen or fall off.
[0019] Secondly, the clutch-conductive system specially designed for the electrolysis electrode in this invention effectively solves the problem in the prior art where the electrical sparks generated when the power supply line of the electrolysis electrode flows through the bearing may shorten the service life of the bearing components. It also addresses the issues in the prior art where the conductive structure from the DC power supply to the electrolysis electrode is relatively complex, has high manufacturing costs, and the sliding contact is installed at a high position, resulting in a large swaying amplitude of the upper part of the rotating inner tub during rotation, leading to unstable sliding electrical connections. The invention employs a novel conductive connection method using a lifting slider to carry the sliding contact, with the entire conductive line arranged below the rotating inner tub. This makes the conductive line simpler and more stable, ensuring the reliability of the electrolysis electrode and guaranteeing the electrolysis efficiency and effect of the water electrolysis washing machine.

[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10, this embodiment provides an electrolytic electrode, including an anode 1 and a cathode 2. Both the anode and cathode are formed by multiple concentrically spaced conductive rings made of conductive material. A conductive bridge 3 connects the conductive rings of the anode in series, providing a conductive connection between them. A conductive bridge 4 connects the conductive rings of the cathode in series, providing a conductive connection between them. Anode terminals 5 and cathode terminals 6 are respectively provided on the conductive bridges 1 and 2 for connecting to the positive and negative terminals of the electrolytic power supply. The conductive rings of the anode are intersected within the gaps 7 between the conductive rings of the cathode, achieving non-contact physical isolation between them. Isolation notches 8 and 9 are respectively provided at the intersections of the conductive rings of the cathode and cathode, corresponding to the conductive bridges 1 and 2, to achieve non-contact physical isolation and insulation at the intersections, preventing short circuits between the anode and cathode.
[0024] Example 2 like Figure 1-7As shown, based on the electrolytic electrode provided in Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a clutch-conductive system for supplying electrolytic energy to the aforementioned electrolytic electrode. The system includes a fixed outer shell 10 and a rotating inner barrel 11 rotatably disposed inside the fixed outer shell. The anode and cathode of the electrolytic electrode are fixedly laid on the upper surface of the bottom of the rotating inner barrel. The rotating inner barrel is made of insulating plastic. A stainless steel tray is connected to the bottom of the rotating inner barrel, and an inner barrel rotating shaft 12 is connected below the stainless steel tray. The anode and cathode are respectively connected to sliding contacts 15 and 16 via conductive connecting piece 13 and conductive connecting piece 2 14. The clutch-conductive system also includes a lifting slider 17 coaxially slidably sleeved on the outside of the inner barrel rotating shaft. A clutch slip ring 18 is fixedly disposed on the top surface of the lifting slider, and a clutch slip ring 2 19 is fixedly disposed on the upper side wall of the lifting slider. The clutch slip ring 1 and clutch slip ring 2 are insulated from each other.
[0025] When the lifting slider slides up to the highest position along the inner barrel pivot, the first clutch slip ring and the second clutch slip ring can respectively slide against the first sliding contact and the second sliding contact to achieve a sliding electrical connection; when the lifting slider descends to the lowest point, the first clutch slip ring and the second clutch slip ring can be completely disengaged from the first sliding contact and the second sliding contact, thereby achieving insulation isolation between the two clutch slip rings and the two sliding contacts.
[0026] Example 3 Based on Embodiment 2, the clutch conductive system further includes a lifting lever 20 for driving the lifting slider to rise or fall. One end of the lifting lever is rotatably hinged to the bottom of the fixed housing via a hinge seat 21, and the other end of the lifting lever is movably pinned to a power traction mechanism for driving its lifting action. The middle part of the lifting lever is movably connected to the lifting slider, that is, the lifting slider slides up and down with the inner barrel pivot while also sliding relative to the lifting lever.
[0027] Specifically, the lifting slider has a circular structure, and two guide grooves 22, which are narrow in the middle and wide at both ends, are symmetrically opened on its lower outer wall. The upper and lower inner surfaces of the guide grooves are arc-shaped contact surfaces. When the lifting lever pries the lifting slider to slide up and down, the upper and lower surfaces of the lifting lever are always in sliding contact with the upper and lower inner surfaces of the guide grooves. The lifting lever has a tuning fork-shaped structure, and the two forked rods 23 of the lifting lever slide through the middle of the two guide grooves of the lifting slider, respectively. That is, the two forked rods of the U-shaped head of the tuning fork structure straddle the two sides of the guide grooves, and the ends of the two forked rods are rotatably hinged to the bottom of the fixed housing through hinge seats. The other end of the lifting lever (i.e., the third end of the tail of the tuning fork structure) is movably pinned to the power traction mechanism.
[0028] Example 4 Based on Embodiment 3, the rotating inner tub has three evenly spaced drain outlets 24 around its bottom circumference, and the bottom of the fixed outer casing also has a drain hole 25 for draining the washing water from the rotating inner tub, serving as a drain channel for the washing water in the rotating inner tub. Below the three drain outlets are three liftable drain plugs 26, arranged in a triangular pattern on the lifting bracket 27. A guide positioning pin 28 is fitted between the top surface of the lifting bracket and the bottom surface of the stainless steel tray of the inner tub, allowing the lifting bracket to slide up and down along the inner tub's axis at a fixed angle, while simultaneously rotating synchronously with the rotating inner tub (or alternatively...). The guide positioning pin is replaced by a guide groove that fits between the inner tub shaft and the lifting bracket. This also prevents the lifting bracket from rotating circumferentially while sliding up and down along the inner tub shaft. The three drain plugs simultaneously block and release the three drain outlets as the lifting bracket rises or falls. The lifting bracket is slidably fitted on the outside of the inner tub shaft through its central hole, and is movably positioned above the lifting slider. Sliding contact one and sliding contact two are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lifting bracket. A drainage control mechanism for controlling the operation of the lifting bracket and the three drain plugs is provided at the bottom of the fixed housing.
[0029] Example 5 Based on Embodiment 4, the power traction mechanism includes a support base 29 connected to the bottom of the fixed housing and a telescopic slide rod 30 that can be vertically raised and lowered, as well as a return spring 31 coaxially sleeved on the outside of the telescopic slide rod. The telescopic slide rod slides through the through hole in the middle of the support base. The upper end of the telescopic slide rod is connected to the movable pin of the lifting lever, and the lower end of the telescopic slide rod is connected to the drainage control mechanism.
[0030] Specifically, both conductive connecting piece one and conductive connecting piece two are stainless steel connecting pieces, and both sliding contact one and sliding contact two are stainless steel contacts correspondingly connected to the two stainless steel connecting pieces. The lifting bracket and the lifting slider are both made of insulating plastic. One end of each stainless steel connecting piece connected to the stainless steel contact is fixedly connected inside the lifting bracket. Three guide positioning pins are provided between the top surface of the lifting bracket and the inner stainless steel tray. The lower end of each guide positioning pin is connected to the lifting bracket. The inner stainless steel tray is provided with guide pin holes for accommodating the guide positioning pins to slide up and down inside. The guide positioning pin is a vertically arranged cylindrical structure, and its upper and lower circumferential edges are provided with anti-detachment protrusions, which can restrict the upper end of the guide positioning pin to prevent it from coming out of the guide pin hole.
[0031] When the lifting slider descends to its lowest point, the guide positioning pins suspend the lifting bracket on the outer side of the middle of the inner tub's rotating shaft, preventing it from falling to the lowest point along with the lifting slider. This allows the two sliding contacts on the lifting bracket to completely disengage from the two clutch slip rings on the lifting slider. A guide tube 46 is integrally fixed above the edge of the through hole at the bottom of the fixed outer shell to restrict the linear sliding of the lifting slider, preventing circumferential rotation during lifting. Both clutch slip ring one and clutch slip ring two are stainless steel rings, and the two stainless steel rings are fixedly connected inside the lifting slider. The return spring is a tower-shaped spring, which has the return elasticity to lift the lifting lever and the lifting slider upwards. A flexible rubber protective sleeve is also provided on the outside of the tower-shaped spring to prevent washing water and lint impurities from entering the tower-shaped spring. The drainage control mechanism is a drainage traction motor 32. A traction rope 44 is connected to the lower end of the telescopic slide rod. A winding wheel 45 for winding the traction rope is driven onto the motor shaft of the drainage traction motor. This is used to pull or release the telescopic slide rod, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering actions of the lifting lever and the lifting slider, as well as the opening and closing control of the three drain outlets of the rotating inner tub by the lifting bracket and the three drain plugs. The drainage motor, traction rope, and winding wheel of the drainage control mechanism (refer to the washing machine drainage structure disclosed in patent application number 202111502685.6) are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] Example 6 like Figure 1-10 As shown, this utility model also provides an electrolyzed water washing machine, which includes the electrolyzed electrode power line clutch conductive system described above. The anode and cathode of the electrolyzed electrode are fixedly laid on the bottom surface of the rotating inner tub by fastening straps 43. The clutch conductive system is arranged below the rotating inner tub and between the fixed outer shell.
[0033] Furthermore, the electrolyzed water washing machine also includes a washing impeller 33 and an impeller shaft 34. The washing impeller is fixedly connected to the top of the impeller shaft. The electrolytic electrodes are fixedly laid on the rotating inner tub below the washing impeller. A lint filter 35 for purifying and filtering lint impurities in the washing water is also provided between the inner edge of the bottom of the rotating inner tub and the washing impeller. The lint filter is fixedly connected above the three drain outlets of the rotating inner tub. The impeller shaft is rotatably sleeved in the middle of the inner tub shaft. Both the inner tub shaft and the impeller shaft are connected to the main motor 37 of the electrolyzed water washing machine through a clutch 36. The main motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed outer casing. The washing impeller (refer to the washing machine impeller structure disclosed in patent application No. 202211300139.9), impeller shaft, clutch, main motor, and lint filter (refer to a fully automatic washing machine lint filter disclosed in patent application No. 202110976884.4) are all prior art in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] Furthermore, the water electrolysis washing machine also includes a DC power supply 38 for providing electrolytic energy to the electrolysis electrodes. The fixed housing is provided with terminals 39 and 40 respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the DC power supply. The other ends of terminals 39 and 40 are respectively connected to clutch slip rings 41 and 42 on the lifting slider via connecting wires 41 and 42. Connecting wires 41 and 42 are made of conductive copper busbars.
[0035] During the washing process of this electrolyzed water washing machine, all three drain outlets of its rotating inner tub are blocked by drain plugs. At this time, its lifting bracket is raised to its highest position by the return spring pushing the lifting lever, and the triangular lifting bracket rotates synchronously with the rotating inner tub. The anode and cathode of the electrolytic electrodes are fixedly laid on the inner side of the bottom of the rotating inner tub and also rotate synchronously with the rotating inner tub. Correspondingly, the conductive connecting pieces one and two, as well as the sliding contacts one and two, connecting the cathode and anode electrodes also rotate synchronously with the rotating inner tub. At this time, the lifting slider is also in the raised state. The clutch slip rings one and two on the lifting slider slide against the sliding contacts one and two to achieve conductive connection. The clutch slip rings one and two are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the DC power supply through the connecting wires one and two and the terminals one and two, thus realizing… A DC power supply is used as the electrolysis power source to conduct electricity between the cathode and anode of the electrolysis electrodes, enabling the rotating inner tub to rotate while simultaneously undergoing water electrolysis. When the water electrolysis washing machine needs to drain, the rotating inner tub stops rotating. At this time, the drain traction motor pulls the lifting lever down, which in turn lowers the lifting slider. Simultaneously, the lifting bracket, carrying three drain plugs, also descends, releasing the three drain outlets of the rotating inner tub and initiating drainage. However, the lifting bracket is suspended in mid-air due to the restriction of the guide positioning pins, causing a complete physical disengagement between the two sliding contacts and the two clutch slip rings of the lifting slider, cutting off the conductive path. At this time, the electrolysis electrodes also stop the water electrolysis reaction, thus realizing the clutch switching of the conductive circuit of the water electrolysis system.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
