Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic cell technology, and in particular to an electrolytic cell device used in dishwashers. Background Technology

[0002] An electrolytic cell typically includes a water inlet connected to a water supply system, an acid water outlet, and an alkaline water outlet. To facilitate the collection or transport of the electrolysis products, existing technologies generally equip the acid and alkaline water outlets with pipe fittings and connect them via flexible hoses, thereby guiding the electrolyte to a designated storage container or point of use.

[0003] However, the existing method of connecting hoses with pipe fittings has significant drawbacks. The pipe fittings and acid / alkali water outlets are secured solely by their own frictional force. In practical applications, due to equipment movement, maintenance, or unforeseen external forces, the hose can easily pull on the pipe fittings, causing the connection between the fittings and the outlets to loosen. This detachment can lead to leakage of acid or alkali water, not only interrupting the electrolysis process and affecting production efficiency, but also potentially corroding surrounding components and causing electrical short circuits, posing safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrolytic cell device that solves the problem of loose assembly between the pipe connector assembly and the electrolytic cell, thereby achieving a secure assembly between the pipe connector assembly and the electrolytic cell.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an electrolytic cell device, including an electrolytic cell, which includes an acid water outlet, an alkaline water outlet, and a water inlet, and also includes a protective shell and a pipe connector assembly. The protective shell has a receiving cavity, and the electrolytic cell is at least partially installed in the receiving cavity. The pipe connector assembly includes an acid water pipe connector that is sleeved with the acid water outlet, an alkaline water pipe connector that is sleeved with the alkaline water outlet, and a water inlet pipe connector that is sleeved with the water inlet. The protective shell is connected to the pipe connector assembly to prevent the acid water pipe connector from detaching from the acid water outlet, the alkaline water pipe connector from detaching from the alkaline water outlet, and the water inlet pipe connector from detaching from the water inlet.

[0006] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages: the protective shell encloses the electrolytic cell in the containment cavity. When an external object collides with it, the protective shell can withstand the impact force first, preventing the electrolytic cell from being directly damaged by the impact. At the same time, the protective shell can prevent dust and some moisture from directly adhering to the electrolytic cell, reducing corrosion of the electrolytic cell and extending its service life.

[0007] The protective shell is connected to the pipe fitting assembly. When the pipe fitting assembly is subjected to external force, on the one hand, the force applied to the pipe fitting assembly is transmitted to the protective shell, which bears and disperses part of the external force; on the other hand, the electrolytic cell is installed in the receiving cavity, and the setting of the protective shell further restricts the relative displacement between the pipe fitting assembly and the acid water outlet, alkali water outlet and inlet of the electrolytic cell. This significantly improves the connection stability and reliability between the acid water outlet and the acid water pipe fitting, the alkali water outlet and the alkali water pipe fitting, and the inlet and the inlet pipe fitting, fundamentally reducing the risk of the pipe fitting assembly being pulled out and reducing safety hazards such as equipment corrosion and electrical short circuits caused by acid and alkali water leakage.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective shell includes a first half-shell and a second half-shell, which are detachably connected.

[0009] Compared to an integrated protective shell, the aforementioned technical solution simplifies the installation process of the electrolytic cell and improves assembly efficiency through the detachable design of the first and second half-shells.

[0010] Furthermore, the first half-shell and the second half-shell are aligned along the width of the electrolytic cell and are fixedly connected by snaps or fasteners.

[0011] Furthermore, the acid water outlet and water inlet are located on one side of the length direction of the electrolytic cell, and the alkali water outlet is located on the opposite side. After the first half shell and the second half shell are joined together, a first through hole is formed for the acid water supply pipe joint, the alkali water supply pipe joint, and the water inlet pipe joint. The first through hole is interference-fitted with the acid water supply pipe joint, the alkali water supply pipe joint, and the water inlet pipe joint.

[0012] Using the aforementioned technical solution, during the installation of the electrolytic cell onto the protective shell, the acid water pipe connector, alkali water pipe connector, and water inlet pipe connector are respectively inserted into the corresponding first through holes, making the installation process more convenient and faster, and improving installation efficiency. Secondly, when the first through hole is fitted with the acid water pipe connector, alkali water pipe connector, and water inlet pipe connector using an interference fit, the pipe connector assembly inserted into the first through hole will be subjected to a certain amount of compression, resulting in greater friction between the pipe connector assembly and the first through hole. This effectively reduces the possibility of the pipe connector assembly loosening or detaching during use, thereby increasing the connection stability between the pipe connector assembly and the acid water outlet, alkali water outlet, and water inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, both the acid water pipe joint and the alkaline water pipe joint are provided with limiting ribs, which abut against the inner wall surface of the first half shell and the second half shell around the first through hole to restrict their axial separation.

[0014] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the limiting ribs of the acid and alkali water pipe joints abut against the inner wall surface surrounding the first through hole, forming a stop structure. On one hand, this prevents axial displacement of the acid and alkali water pipe joints. During the operation of the electrolytic cell, the flow of liquid generates pressure, which impacts the acid and alkali water pipe joints. The limiting ribs, by abutting against the inner wall surface surrounding the first through hole, resist the impact of the fluid and remain stable in place. On the other hand, when the pipe joint assembly is subjected to external force, the stop provided by the limiting ribs also prevents the pipe joint assembly from detaching from the first through hole, enhancing the stability of the connection between the two.

[0015] Furthermore, the acid water pipe joint and the alkaline water pipe joint are rotatably fitted with the first through hole.

[0016] Using the aforementioned technical solution, the electrolytic cell device may have limited space during actual installation. Therefore, the acid water pipe joint and the alkali water pipe joint are rotatably engaged with the first through hole, so that when connecting the pipes, the angle of the acid water pipe joint and the alkali water pipe joint can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual space on site. This avoids situations where installation is not possible due to space limitations or additional modifications are required, simplifies the pipeline layout and installation process, and improves installation efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, when maintenance and repair work is required on the structure surrounding the electrolytic cell unit, the rotating fit between the acid water pipe joint and the alkali water pipe joint and the first through hole allows the pipe joints to be rotated according to the needs of maintenance and repair, adjusting the pipes to a position that is convenient for operators to operate, providing more space for operation, and improving the efficiency and convenience of maintenance and repair.

[0018] Furthermore, the first half-shell and the second half-shell are aligned along the length of the electrolytic cell and fixedly connected by snaps or fasteners.

[0019] Furthermore, the acid water outlet and water inlet are located on one side of the electrolytic cell along its length, and the alkali water outlet is located on the opposite side. The acid water pipe connector and water inlet pipe connector are integrally formed or fixedly connected to the first half-shell; the alkali water pipe connector is integrally formed or fixedly connected to the second half-shell.

[0020] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the pipe fitting assembly is integrally formed or fixedly connected with the first half shell and the second half shell, reducing the steps required to install the pipe fitting assembly separately. Operators only need to assemble the first half shell, the second half shell and the electrolytic cell to connect the acid water pipe fitting to the acid water outlet and the alkaline water pipe fitting to the alkaline water outlet, making the installation process more convenient and improving installation efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the acid water pipe joint, the alkali water pipe joint, and the water inlet pipe joint all have multiple connecting sections, the diameter of which decreases in the direction away from the electrolytic cell.

[0022] Using the aforementioned technical solution, in the actual use of the electrolytic cell unit, the diameters of the acid water pipes, alkali water pipes, and inlet water pipes vary depending on the different usage requirements. Therefore, the acid water pipe joint, alkali water pipe joint, and inlet water pipe joint have multiple connection sections with diameters decreasing towards the direction away from the electrolytic cell. This allows one pipe joint to be adapted to various pipe diameters, increasing the versatility and adaptability of the pipe joint and reducing the operating cost.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a dishwasher, with at least one fixing structure on the protective shell, through which the electrolytic cell device is fixedly installed on the dishwasher.

[0024] Using the aforementioned technical solution, vibrations will occur during the operation of the dishwasher. Therefore, in order to prevent the electrolytic cell device from shifting or shaking due to vibration inside the dishwasher, at least one fixing structure is provided on the protective shell. This structure can securely install the electrolytic cell device in the dishwasher, ensuring that the electrolytic cell device remains in its working position during dishwasher operation and will not shift due to vibration, thus enhancing the stability of the electrolytic cell device installation.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

Even if "second" is used before a technical feature for distinction, it does not necessarily imply the presence of "first." It should be understood that in this utility model, "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. It should be understood that in this utility model, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, X and / or Y can represent: X alone, X and Y simultaneously, and Y alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an electrolytic cell device, including an electrolytic cell 100. The electrolytic cell 100 includes an acid water outlet 110, an alkaline water outlet 120, and a water inlet 130. It also includes a protective shell 300 and a pipe connector assembly. The protective shell 300 has a receiving cavity, and the electrolytic cell 100 is at least partially installed in the receiving cavity. The pipe connector assembly includes an acid water pipe connector 210 that is sleeved with the acid water outlet 110, an alkaline water pipe connector 220 that is sleeved with the alkaline water outlet 120, and a water inlet pipe connector 230 that is sleeved with the water inlet 130. The protective shell 300 is connected to the pipe connector assembly to prevent the acid water pipe connector 210 from detaching from the acid water outlet 110, the alkaline water pipe connector 220 from detaching from the alkaline water outlet 120, and the water inlet pipe connector 230 from detaching from the water inlet 130.

[0030] Understandably, the protective shell 300 encloses the electrolytic cell 100 within its containment cavity. When an external object collides with the electrolytic cell 100, the protective shell 300 can withstand the impact force first, preventing the electrolytic cell 100 from being directly damaged by the impact. At the same time, the protective shell 300 can prevent dust and some moisture from directly adhering to the electrolytic cell 100, reducing corrosion of the electrolytic cell 100 and extending its service life.

[0031] The protective shell 300 is connected to the pipe fitting assembly. When the pipe fitting assembly is subjected to external force, on the one hand, the force applied to the pipe fitting assembly will be transmitted to the protective shell 300, which will bear and disperse part of the external force; on the other hand, the electrolytic cell 100 is installed in the receiving cavity, and the setting of the protective shell 300 further restricts the relative displacement between the pipe fitting assembly and the acid water outlet 110, alkaline water outlet 120 and water inlet 130 of the electrolytic cell 100. This significantly improves the connection stability and reliability between the acid water outlet 110 and the acid water pipe fitting 210, the alkaline water outlet 120 and the alkaline water pipe fitting 220, and the water inlet 130 and the water inlet pipe fitting 230, fundamentally reducing the risk of the pipe fitting assembly being pulled out and reducing safety hazards such as equipment corrosion and electrical short circuits caused by acid and alkaline water leakage.

[0032] It should be noted that this application provides two embodiments of the protective shell 300. In both embodiments, the protective shell 300 includes a first half-shell 310 and a second half-shell 320, and the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are detachably connected.

[0033] Compared to the one-piece protective shell 300, this detachable design via the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 simplifies the installation process of the electrolytic cell 100 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, in one embodiment of the protective shell 300, the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are aligned along the width direction of the electrolytic cell 100 (the direction described herein is consistent with the direction indicated in the accompanying drawings) and are fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​330 or a fastener.

[0035] The connection via snap-fit ​​330 or fasteners is intended to allow for both a fixed and a detachable connection between the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320. Preferably, snap-fit ​​330 is used in this embodiment, with multiple snap-fit ​​330s provided. Alternatively, fasteners, such as bolts, can be used in other embodiments; or, fasteners can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​330s to achieve the same purpose.

[0036] In this embodiment, the acid water outlet 110 and the water inlet 130 are located on one side of the length direction of the electrolytic cell 100, and the alkali water outlet 120 is located on the opposite side. After the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are joined together, a first through hole 340 is formed for the acid water pipe connector 210, the alkali water pipe connector 220 and the water inlet pipe connector 230 to pass through. The first through hole 340 is interference-fitted with the acid water pipe connector 210, the alkali water pipe connector 220 and the water inlet pipe connector 230.

[0037] During the installation of the electrolytic cell 100 onto the protective shell 300, the acid water pipe connector 210, the alkali water pipe connector 220, and the water inlet pipe connector 230 are respectively inserted into the corresponding first through holes 340, making the installation process more convenient and faster, and improving installation efficiency. Secondly, when the first through hole 340 is fitted with the acid water pipe connector 210, the alkali water pipe connector 220, and the water inlet pipe connector 230, the pipe connector assembly inserted into the first through hole 340 will be subjected to a certain amount of compression, resulting in greater friction between the pipe connector assembly and the first through hole 340. This can effectively reduce the possibility of the pipe connector assembly loosening or detaching during use, thereby increasing the connection stability between the pipe connector assembly and the acid water outlet 110, the alkali water outlet 120, and the water inlet 130.

[0038] It should be explained that the water inlet 130 is actually located on one side of the electrolytic cell 100 in the height direction. After the water inlet pipe connector 230 is inserted into the water inlet 130, the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe connector 230 extends to one side of the electrolytic cell 100 in the length direction, and protrudes from the first through hole 340 after the first half shell 310 and the second half shell 320 are engaged.

[0039] In addition, both the acid water pipe joint 210 and the alkaline water pipe joint 220 are provided with limiting ribs. The limiting ribs abut against the inner wall surface of the first half shell 310 and the second half shell 320 around the first through hole 340 to form a stop structure to restrict its axial separation.

[0040] In order to distinguish the limiting ribs, the limiting rib provided on the acid water pipe joint 210 is defined as the first limiting rib 211; and the limiting rib provided on the alkaline water pipe joint 220 is defined as the second limiting rib 221.

[0041] On the one hand, the stop structure can prevent the acid water pipe joint 210 and the alkali water pipe joint 220 from axial displacement. During the operation of the electrolytic cell 100, the flow of liquid will generate a certain pressure, which will have a certain impact on the acid water pipe joint 210 and the alkali water pipe joint 220. The limiting rib, by abutting against the inner wall surface around the first through hole 340, can resist the impact of the fluid and stabilize itself in place; on the other hand, when the pipe joint assembly is pulled by external force, the stop of the limiting rib can also prevent the pipe joint assembly from coming out of the first through hole 340, thus enhancing the stability of the connection between the two.

[0042] Furthermore, since the inlet 130 is located on one side of the electrolytic cell 100 in the height direction, when the inlet pipe connector 230 is subjected to a force along the axial direction of the acid water connector 210, the direction of the force is exactly perpendicular to the axial direction of the inlet 130. The sleeve connection between the inlet 130 and the inlet pipe connector 230 restricts the displacement of the inlet pipe connector 230 along the axial direction of the acid water connector 210. When the inlet pipe connector 230 is subjected to a force along the axial direction of the inlet 130, the interference fit between the inlet pipe connector 230 and the first through hole 340 of the protective shell 300 ensures the stability of the sleeve connection between the inlet pipe connector 230 and the inlet 130. Therefore, even if the inlet pipe connector 230 is not equipped with a limiting rib structure, the risk of the inlet pipe connector 230 detaching from the inlet 130 is reduced.

[0043] However, even better, a limiting rib is also provided on the water inlet pipe joint 230, and it abuts against the inner wall surface of the first half shell 310 and the second half shell 320 around the first through hole 340.

[0044] In addition, the space may be limited during the actual installation of the electrolytic cell device. Therefore, the acid water pipe joint 210 and the alkali water pipe joint 220 are rotatably engaged with the first through hole 340. This allows the angles of the acid water pipe joint 210 and the alkali water pipe joint 220 to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual space on site when connecting the pipes. This avoids situations where installation is not possible due to space limitations or additional modifications are required, simplifies the pipeline layout and installation process, and improves installation efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, when maintenance and repair work is required on the structure surrounding the electrolytic cell unit, the rotational engagement of the acid water pipe joint 210 and the alkali water pipe joint 220 with the first through hole 340 allows the pipe joints to be rotated according to the needs of maintenance and repair, adjusting the pipes to a position that is convenient for operators to operate, providing more space for operation, and improving the efficiency and convenience of maintenance and repair.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment of the protective shell 300, the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are aligned along the length of the electrolytic cell 100 and are fixedly connected by snaps or fasteners.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two ways in which the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are engaged. Specifically, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the first method is a more preferred embodiment: the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are aligned along the length of the electrolytic cell 100, but the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are not connected to each other. The first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are respectively fixed to the electrolytic cell 100 by fasteners (e.g., screws).

[0048] The second embodiment is as follows: the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are aligned along the length of the electrolytic cell 100 (the direction described in the text is consistent with the direction indicated in the attached drawings of the specification), and the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are fixedly connected by a snap fastener or a fastener, and the fastener can be a bolt.

[0049] In detail, the acid water outlet 110 and the water inlet 130 are located on one side of the length direction of the electrolytic cell 100, and the alkaline water outlet 120 is located on the opposite side.

[0050] Preferably, the acid water pipe connector 210 and the water inlet pipe connector 230 are fixedly connected to the first half-shell 310 by welding, gluing or other means; the alkaline water pipe connector 220 is fixedly connected to the second half-shell 320 by welding, gluing or other means.

[0051] As an even better option, the acid water pipe connector 210 and the water inlet pipe connector 230 are integrally injection molded with the first half-shell 310; the alkaline water pipe connector 220 is integrally injection molded with the second shell.

[0052] As a better embodiment, the acid water pipe connector 210 is integrally injection molded with the first half-shell 310; the alkali water pipe connector 220 is integrally injection molded with the second shell; and the water inlet pipe connector 230 is directly inserted into the water inlet 130 as a separate component.

[0053] Specifically, during installation, the inlet pipe connector 230 is first inserted into the inlet 130, and then the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 are installed on the outer periphery of the electrolytic cell 100. It is worth noting that the first half-shell 310 is also provided with a second through hole 350 for the inlet pipe connector 230 to pass through.

[0054] It should be explained that the water inlet 130 is actually located on one side of the electrolytic cell 100 in the height direction. After the water inlet pipe connector 230 is inserted into the water inlet 130, the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe connector 230 extends to one side of the electrolytic cell 100 in the length direction, and then extends out through the second through hole 350 after the first half shell 310 and the second half shell 320 are engaged.

[0055] However, regardless of the above implementation method, the pipe fitting assembly is integrally formed or fixedly connected with the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320 in order to reduce the need for separate installation of the pipe fitting assembly. The operator only needs to assemble the first half-shell 310, the second half-shell 320 and the electrolytic cell 100 to connect the acid water pipe fitting 210 to the acid water outlet 110 and the alkali water pipe fitting 220 to the alkali water outlet 120. The installation process is more convenient and the installation efficiency is improved.

[0056] Furthermore, in the actual use of the electrolytic cell unit, the diameters of the acid water pipes, alkali water pipes, and inlet water pipes vary depending on the specific application requirements. To enable a single pipe fitting to accommodate multiple different pipe diameters, the acid water pipe fitting 210, alkali water pipe fitting 220, and inlet water pipe fitting 230 each have three connecting sections 240, with the diameter of the three connecting sections 240 decreasing towards the direction away from the electrolytic cell 100. This increases the versatility and adaptability of the pipe fittings and reduces operating costs.

[0057] It should be noted that this embodiment is only exemplified by the acid water pipe connector 210, alkaline water pipe connector 220 and water inlet pipe connector 230 having three connection sections 240. However, it should not be narrowly assumed that the acid water pipe connector 210, alkaline water pipe connector 220 and water inlet pipe connector 230 can only have three connection sections 240. An appropriate number of connection sections 240 can be set according to the usage conditions and usage status.

[0058] Specifically, during the assembly of the protective shell 300 and the pipe fitting assembly, the acid water pipe fitting 210 is first fitted onto the acid water outlet 110, the alkaline water pipe fitting 220 is fitted onto the alkaline water outlet 120, and the water inlet pipe fitting 230 is fitted onto the water inlet 130, and then the first half shell 310 and the second half shell 320 are aligned and fixed.

[0059] Therefore, in another embodiment, various pipe diameters can be accommodated by replacing the acid water pipe connector 210, the alkaline water pipe connector 220, and the water inlet pipe connector 230.

[0060] To elaborate, taking the acid water pipe connector 210 as an example, the acid water pipe connector 210 has an inlet end connected to the acid water outlet 110 and an outlet end located away from the acid water outlet 110 but connected to the acid water pipeline. Because the acid water pipe connector 210 fits onto the acid water outlet 110, the inner diameter of the inlet end matches the outer diameter of the acid water outlet 110. The outlet end of the acid water pipe connector 210 can be configured with various sizes, and a suitable acid water pipe connector 210 is selected based on the diameter of the connected acid water pipeline. The alkaline water pipe connector 220 and the inlet pipe connector 230 are configured similarly.

[0061] This application also mentions a dishwasher, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 The dishwasher shown is equipped with the aforementioned electrolytic cell device. The protective casing 300 of the electrolytic cell device has two fixing structures, which secure the device to the dishwasher. The two fixing structures are respectively located on the first half-shell 310 and the second half-shell 320.

[0062] This is because vibrations are generated during the operation of the dishwasher. Therefore, at least one fixing structure is provided on the protective shell 300 to securely install the electrolytic cell device to the dishwasher, ensuring that the electrolytic cell device remains in the working position during dishwasher operation and will not shift due to vibration, thus enhancing the stability of the electrolytic cell device installation.

[0063] In detail, the dishwasher includes a base, and the bottom wall of the base 400 is provided with a first mounting part 410, which is a mounting post extending upward from the bottom wall; the fixing structure 360 ​​on the protective shell 300 is a lug extending outward from the electrolytic cell device, and the electrolytic cell device is fixedly installed on the base 400 by bolts passing through the lug and tightening them to the mounting post.

[0064] The bottom wall of the base 400 is also provided with a positioning element 420, which complements one of the corners of the electrolytic cell device to limit the installation position of the electrolytic cell device on the base 400.

[0065] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
