Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of clothing processing technology, specifically to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing treatment equipment such as washing machines and washer-dryer combos incorporate an electrolysis device to electrolyze water in order to sterilize and disinfect the clothes inside the drum, increase the washing ratio, prevent color bleeding, bleach white clothes, and clean the drum. This electrolysis generates hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, which have strong oxidizing activity, within the drum.

[0003] However, in related technologies, the electrolysis effect of the electrolysis device is not good, which affects the treatment effect of clothing. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure aims to at least partially address one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, embodiments of this disclosure provide a garment treatment apparatus that can improve the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device, thereby improving the garment treatment effect.

[0005] The garment processing device of this disclosure includes: a housing; a processing cylinder disposed within the housing and having a processing chamber; a water valve disposed within the housing; a first water path and a second water path, the first water path and the second water path being independent of each other, the inlet of the first water path and the inlet of the second water path both being connected to the water valve, and both the first water path and the second water path being connected to the processing chamber; a detergent box disposed within the housing, the detergent box having a detergent chamber connected to the first water path; and an electrolysis device disposed within the second water path for electrolyzing water flowing through the second water path.

[0006] The garment processing device of this embodiment supplies water to a first water path and a second water path that are independent of each other using a water valve. By connecting the detergent chamber of the detergent box to the first water path, the normal dispensing of detergent is ensured. By placing an electrolysis device in the second water path, the water flowing through the second water path is electrolyzed using the electrolysis device. The electrolyzed electrolyte enters the processing chamber, realizing flow-through electrolysis. Moreover, the second water path supplies water to the electrolysis device separately, so that the water flow rate of the second water path is more matched with the water demand of the electrolysis device, thereby prolonging the residence time of water in the electrolysis device, making the electrolysis reaction more complete, improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device, and thus improving the garment processing effect.

[0007] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second water passage is located in the feed box, and the second water passage is disconnected from the detergent chamber.

[0008] In this embodiment, by placing at least a portion of the second water path in the material box, the internal space of the material box can be used to form part of the second water path, reducing the need for additional pipe layout, making reasonable use of the space inside the casing, improving the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure. Moreover, the second water path is disconnected from the detergent chamber, avoiding mutual interference between the electrolyte and the detergent, and realizing the independent dispensing of the electrolyte and the detergent.

[0009] In some embodiments, the material box is located downstream of the electrolysis device in the direction of water flow in the second water path; or, the electrolysis device is located in the material box.

[0010] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device is positioned upstream of the material box in the direction of water flow in the second water channel, or the electrolysis device is positioned on the material box. This facilitates the installation of the electrolysis device between the material box and the water valve, or the installation of the electrolysis device on the material box. This allows for flexible determination of the installation position of the electrolysis device based on the space available in the garment processing equipment.

[0011] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first water passage is disposed in the feed box.

[0012] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first water path is located in the material box, and the internal space of the material box is used to form part of the first water path, thereby reducing the pipe layout of the first water path and improving the rationality of the layout. Moreover, the fact that at least a portion of the first water path is located in the material box facilitates the connection between the first water path and the detergent chamber.

[0013] In some embodiments, the container includes a housing and a dispensing box, the detergent chamber is formed in the dispensing box, the housing has a receiving cavity, and the dispensing box is disposed in the receiving cavity and movable relative to the housing; or, the container includes a housing, and the detergent chamber is formed in the housing.

[0014] In this embodiment, by placing the feed box inside the receiving cavity and making it movable relative to the outer shell, it is convenient for the user to pull out the feed box from the front of the clothing processing equipment to add detergent into the detergent chamber. Alternatively, by forming the detergent chamber in the outer shell, the space in the height direction of the feed box can be fully utilized, thereby improving space utilization.

[0015] In some embodiments, the housing includes a bottom shell and an upper shell, the upper shell being snapped onto the bottom shell to form the receiving cavity or detergent cavity.

[0016] In this embodiment, by fastening the upper shell to the lower shell to form a receiving cavity or detergent cavity, space can be utilized more effectively while maintaining the clarity and orderliness of the internal structure of the container.

[0017] In some embodiments, the container further includes a top cover that covers the upper shell and defines, together with the upper shell, at least a portion of the first water passage in the container and / or a portion of the second water passage in the container.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the material box is only located in the first water channel, the top cover and the upper shell define at least a portion of the first water channel located in the material box. When the material box is located in both the first and second water channels, the top cover and the upper shell define at least a portion of the first water channel located in the material box and a portion of the second water channel located in the material box. By setting the top cover and the upper shell, the space inside the material box is fully utilized to form the portion of the first water channel and / or the portion of the second water channel, reducing the pipe arrangement of the first and / or second water channels and improving the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure.

[0019] In some embodiments, the detergent dispenser has a first liquid inlet channel disconnected from the detergent chamber, the first liquid inlet channel communicating with the receiving chamber, and the first liquid inlet channel and the receiving chamber forming at least a portion of the first water path disposed in the detergent dispenser.

[0020] In this embodiment, by disconnecting the first liquid inlet channel from the detergent chamber and connecting it to the receiving chamber, the first liquid inlet channel and the detergent chamber are independent of each other, and the detergent and the electrolyte in the first liquid inlet channel flow separately, so as to realize the synchronous and independent dispensing of detergent and electrolyte. Moreover, the first liquid inlet channel and the receiving chamber form a first water path in at least part of the material box, which further improves the space utilization rate in the material box.

[0021] In some embodiments, the material box further has a discharge port and a discharge port, the discharge port being connected to the receiving cavity and the first liquid inlet channel, and the discharge port being connected to the receiving cavity and connected to the processing cavity via a second connecting pipe.

[0022] In this embodiment, the connection between the first liquid inlet channel and the receiving cavity is achieved through the setting of the discharge port, and the connection between the receiving cavity and the processing cavity is achieved through the setting of the discharge port and the second connecting pipe, thereby realizing the connection between the first liquid inlet channel and the processing cavity.

[0023] In some embodiments, the feed box further includes a second liquid inlet channel, which communicates with the detergent chamber and forms part of the second water path in the feed box.

[0024] In this embodiment, by connecting the second liquid inlet channel to the detergent chamber, the water flow in the second liquid inlet channel can flush the detergent. The large flow of water in the second liquid inlet channel enables the detergent and water to mix quickly and evenly, thereby improving the dispensing efficiency.

[0025] In some embodiments, the second liquid inlet channel has a liquid outlet, which is connected to the processing chamber via a first connecting pipe. This establishes communication between the second liquid inlet channel and the processing chamber.

[0026] In some embodiments, the feed box is provided with a feed inlet, which is connected to the second liquid inlet channel and the detergent chamber, and the detergent in the detergent chamber enters the second liquid inlet channel through the feed inlet.

[0027] In this embodiment, the detergent chamber and the second liquid inlet channel are connected by the setting of the feed inlet, thereby enabling the detergent in the detergent chamber to be transported to the second liquid inlet channel and mixed with the water in the second liquid inlet channel.

[0028] In some embodiments, the water valve is used to supply water at different flow rates to the first water path and the second water path, wherein the water flow rate of the first water path is greater than the water flow rate of the second water path.

[0029] In this embodiment, water is supplied to the first and second water channels at different flow rates via water valves, with the first water channel having a higher flow rate than the second water channel. On the one hand, the high flow rate of the first water channel can be used to rinse the detergent, achieving rapid and uniform mixing of detergent and water, thus improving the detergent dosing efficiency. On the other hand, the low flow rate of the second water channel can be used to prolong the residence time of water in the electrolysis device, allowing the electrolysis reaction to be more complete and improving the electrolysis efficiency of the device, thereby improving the garment treatment effect.

[0030] In some embodiments, the water valve includes a first valve and a second valve, the outlet of the first valve is connected to the first water passage, the outlet of the second valve is connected to the second water passage, and the rated outflow rate of the first valve is greater than the rated outflow rate of the second valve.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first valve is connected to the first water path to supply water to the first water path, and the second valve is connected to the second water path to supply water to the second water path. The setting of the first valve and the second valve realizes independent water supply to the first water path and the second water path, which makes it easy to adjust the water flow of the first water path and the second water path respectively.

[0032] In some embodiments, the rated outflow rate of the first valve is 7-9 L / min.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rated outflow rate of the first valve is limited to meet the high flow rate requirement of the treatment cylinder, thereby improving the detergent dosing efficiency and spray uniformity.

[0034] In some embodiments, the rated outflow rate of the second valve is 2-4 L / min.

[0035] In this embodiment, by limiting the rated outflow of the second valve, the residence time of water in the electrolysis device is extended, the electrolysis reaction is more complete, and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device is improved.

[0036] In some embodiments, the electrolysis device is detachably mounted on the housing and located between the water valve and the material box.

[0037] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device is detachably mounted on the housing, making it easy to install the electrolysis device on the garment processing equipment. By placing the electrolysis device between the water valve and the material box, the space between the water valve and the material box can be rationally utilized, improving the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure.

[0038] In some embodiments, the garment processing equipment further includes a mounting bracket disposed within the housing, and the electrolysis device is mounted on the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket on the housing prevents vibrations and shaking during equipment operation from being directly transmitted to the electrolysis device, and also prevents friction between the electrolysis device and the housing during operation, thereby improving the stability and service life of the electrolysis device.

[0039] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket is detachably connected to the housing, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the electrolysis device and improving maintenance convenience. Furthermore, mounting brackets of different sizes can be used to accommodate electrolysis devices of varying sizes, allowing the device to be mounted on the housing and further enhancing installation ease.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket has a connecting portion and a mounting portion that are connected to each other. The connecting portion is connected to the housing, and the mounting portion is used to mount the electrolysis device. The connecting portion connects the mounting bracket to the housing, and the mounting portion connects the electrolysis device to the mounting bracket, thereby achieving the connection between the electrolysis device and the housing.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mounting portion is lower than the connecting portion. By setting the mounting portion lower than the connecting portion, it is easier to reserve installation space for the electrolysis device, thereby allowing the electrolysis device to be lower than, flush with, or slightly protruding from the mounting portion, thus avoiding interference with the installation of the top plate of the garment processing equipment.

[0042] In some embodiments, the top of the inner wall of the housing has a flange, and the connecting portion is connected to the flange. The flange facilitates the connection between the top of the housing and the connecting portion, thereby avoiding the need for openings in the inner wall of the housing and improving the layout rationality of the mounting bracket.

[0043] In some embodiments, the mounting portion includes a clearance portion for avoiding the inlet and outlet of the electrolysis device. The inlet and outlet of the electrolysis device pass through the mounting bracket via the clearance portion, improving the ease of connection between the electrolysis device and the pipeline. Furthermore, the clearance portion can provide positioning for the installation of the electrolysis device, further enhancing its ease of installation.

[0044] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket includes a first plate, a second plate, and a third plate, the second plate extending vertically, the first plate extending from the upper end of the second plate toward the inner wall surface of the housing, and the third plate extending from the lower end of the second plate in a direction away from the inner wall surface of the housing. At least one of the first plate and the second plate forms the connecting portion, and the third plate forms the mounting portion.

[0045] This embodiment, through the sequential connection of a first plate, a second plate, and a third plate, utilizes the first plate extending towards the housing to form a connecting portion, thereby increasing the contact area between the housing's flange and the first plate, and improving the stability of the connection between the first plate and the housing. The second plate extending vertically increases the contact area between the second plate and the inner wall of the housing, improving the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket and the housing. The third plate extending away from the housing facilitates the installation of the electrolysis device, improving the ease of installation.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second plate has a first snap-fit ​​portion, and the inner wall surface of the housing is disposed on the second snap-fit ​​portion, wherein the first snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion engage in a snap-fit ​​relationship. The first and second snap-fit ​​portions facilitate the installation of the mounting bracket onto the housing via a snap-fit ​​mechanism, achieving convenient installation while simultaneously enabling the positioning of the mounting bracket, thus improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0047] In some embodiments, the material box is located in front of the water valve, and the water flow direction in the electrolysis device is parallel to the left and right direction or forms a preset angle with the left and right direction, wherein the preset angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees.

[0048] In this embodiment, by making the water flow direction in the electrolysis device parallel to the left and right directions or forming a preset angle with the left and right directions, it is convenient to install the electrolysis device using the space between the water valve and the material box, reducing the need to modify the original components of the clothing processing equipment and improving the ease of installation of the electrolysis device.

[0049] In some embodiments, the electrolysis apparatus includes a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, a first connector, and a second connector. The first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are stacked in a first direction. The first connector and the second connector both pass through the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate along the first direction. One end of the first connector forms a first terminal and is in conductive contact with the first electrode plate. One end of the second connector forms a second terminal and is in conductive contact with the second electrode plate.

[0050] In this embodiment, by having both the first connector and the second connector pass through the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet along a first direction, it is convenient to install the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet. One end of the first connector forms a first terminal, and one end of the second connector forms a second terminal. The first electrode sheet is energized through conductive contact with the first connector, and the second electrode sheet is energized through conductive contact with the second connector. Compared to the structures in related technologies that require separate clamping and energizing parts, the electrolysis assembly in this embodiment, through the provision of the first and second connectors, achieves both the installation and fixation of the first and second electrode sheets while simultaneously energizing them separately. This simplifies the structure of the electrolysis assembly, making it more streamlined and easier to install.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a proton exchange membrane disposed between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, wherein at least one of the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet has a through hole extending along the first direction.

[0052] In this embodiment, a proton exchange membrane is provided between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet. Since the proton exchange membrane is non-conductive and can transfer protons, it can prevent short circuits between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, reduce the distance between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving electrolysis efficiency. Moreover, by providing a through hole in at least one of the first electrode sheets and the second electrode sheet along the first direction, the electrolyte in the electrolysis device can diffuse between the electrode sheet and the proton exchange membrane, allowing the electrolysis reaction to continue and carrying away the electrolysis products, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0085] 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.

[0086] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-14 The garment processing apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0087] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the garment processing device of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a processing cylinder 2, a water valve 3, a first water passage 41, a second water passage 42, a detergent container 5, and an electrolysis device 6. The processing cylinder 2 is disposed within the housing 1 and has a processing chamber 21. The water valve 3 is disposed within the housing 1. The first water passage 41 and the second water passage 42 are independent of each other; the inlet of both the first water passage 41 and the inlet of both the second water passage 42 are connected to the water valve 3, and both the first water passage 41 and the second water passage 42 are connected to the processing chamber 21. The detergent container 5 is disposed within the housing 1 and has a detergent chamber 51, which is connected to the first water passage 41. The electrolysis device 6 is disposed within the second water passage 42 and is used to electrolyze the water flowing through the second water passage 42.

[0088] The clothing treatment device of this embodiment uses a water valve 3 to supply water to the independent first water path 41 and second water path 42. By connecting the detergent chamber 51 of the detergent box 5 to the first water path 41, the normal dispensing of detergent is ensured. By placing the electrolysis device 6 in the second water path 42, the electrolysis device 6 electrolyzes the water flowing through the second water path 42. The electrolyzed electrolyte enters the treatment chamber 21, realizing flow-through electrolysis. Moreover, the second water path 42 supplies water to the electrolysis device 6 separately, so that the water flow rate of the second water path 42 is more matched with the water demand of the electrolysis device 6, thereby prolonging the residence time of water in the electrolysis device 6, making the electrolysis reaction more complete, improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 6, and thus improving the clothing treatment effect.

[0089] Furthermore, the detergent and the electrolyte in the second water path 42, which has been electrolyzed by the electrolysis device 6, flow separately. On the one hand, this can prevent the electrolysis device 6 from coming into contact with the detergent in the material box 5 and affecting the electrolysis effect of the electrolysis device 6. On the other hand, it can realize the synchronous and independent addition of detergent and electrolyte, so as to meet the different needs of different operating modes of clothing processing equipment.

[0090] Optionally, the detergent chamber 51 of the feed box 5 is connected to the first water channel 41, making the first water channel 41 a detergent dispensing water channel. The water flow rate of the first water channel 41 can be controlled to meet the detergent dispensing requirements. The electrolysis device 6 is located in the second water channel 42, making the second water channel 42 an electrolyte dispensing water channel. The water flow rate of the second water channel 42 can be controlled to meet the required water flow rate of the electrolysis device, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 6.

[0091] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the second water passage 42 is disposed in the feed box 5, and the second water passage 42 is disconnected from the detergent chamber 51.

[0092] In this embodiment, by placing at least a portion of the second water path 42 in the material box 5, the internal space of the material box 5 can be used to form part of the second water path 42, reducing the need for additional pipe layout, making reasonable use of the space inside the casing 1, improving the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure. Moreover, the second water path 42 is disconnected from the detergent chamber 51, avoiding mutual interference between the electrolyte and the detergent, and realizing the independent dispensing of the electrolyte and the detergent.

[0093] Specifically, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the material box 5 can be located in the first water channel 41; or, the material box 5 can be located in the first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42. Figure 3 The diagram shows that the material box 5 is located in the first water channel 41, and the electrolysis device 6 is located in the second water channel 42. The first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42 are independent of each other to avoid contact between the detergent and the electrolysis device 6, thus ensuring the electrolysis effect of the electrolysis device 6. Figure 4The diagram shows that the material box 5 is located in the first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42, and the electrolysis device 6 is located in the second water channel 42. The electrolysis device 6 is located upstream of the material box 5 in the water flow direction of the second water channel 42, which can also prevent the detergent from contacting the electrolysis device 6 and ensure the electrolysis effect of the electrolysis device 6.

[0094] In some embodiments, the material box 5 is located downstream of the electrolysis device 6 in the direction of water flow in the second water channel 42; or, the electrolysis device 6 is located in the material box 5.

[0095] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device 6 is positioned upstream of the material box 5 in the direction of water flow in the second water channel 42, or the electrolysis device 6 is positioned on the material box 5. This facilitates the installation of the electrolysis device 6 between the material box 5 and the water valve 3, or the installation of the electrolysis device 6 on the material box 5. This allows for flexible determination of the installation position of the electrolysis device 6 based on the space available in the garment processing equipment.

[0096] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first water passage 41 is disposed in the material box 5.

[0097] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first water channel 41 is disposed in the material box 5, and the internal space of the material box 5 is used to form a part of the first water channel 41, thereby reducing the pipe arrangement of the first water channel 41 and improving the rationality of the layout. Moreover, at least a portion of the first water channel 41 is disposed in the material box 5, which facilitates the connection between the first water channel 41 and the detergent chamber 51.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the material box 5 includes a housing 541 and a feeding box 542, a detergent chamber 51 is formed in the feeding box 542, the housing 541 has a receiving cavity 5411, and the feeding box 542 is disposed in the receiving cavity 5411 and is movable relative to the housing 541; or, the material box 5 includes a housing 541, and the detergent chamber 51 is formed in the housing 541.

[0099] In this embodiment, by placing the feeding box 542 inside the receiving cavity 5411 and making it movable relative to the outer shell 541, it is convenient for the user to pull out the feeding box 542 from the front of the clothing processing equipment to add detergent into the detergent cavity 51. Alternatively, by forming the detergent cavity 51 in the outer shell 541, the space in the height direction of the feeding box 5 can be fully utilized, thereby improving space utilization.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the outer casing 541 includes a bottom casing 5412 and an upper casing 5413, with the upper casing 5413 fastened to the bottom casing 5412 to form a receiving cavity 5411 or a detergent cavity 51.

[0101] In this embodiment, by fastening the upper shell 5413 to the bottom shell 5412 to form a receiving cavity 5411 or detergent cavity 51, space can be utilized more effectively while maintaining the clarity and orderliness of the internal structure of the material box 5.

[0102] Specifically, Figures 5-6 A schematic diagram of the material box 5 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The upper shell 5413 is fastened to the bottom shell 5412 to form a receiving cavity 5411. The feeding box 542 is disposed in the receiving cavity 5411 and is movable relative to the outer shell 541. Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of a detergent box 5 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, wherein the upper shell 5413 is fastened to the bottom shell 5412 to form a detergent cavity 51.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the material box 5 also includes a top cover 543, which covers the upper shell 5413 and defines at least a portion of the first water passage 41 in the material box 5 and / or a portion of the second water passage 42 in the material box 5.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the material box 5 is only provided in the first water channel 41, the top cover 543 and the upper shell 5413 define at least a portion of the first water channel 41 provided in the material box 5. When the material box 5 is provided in the first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42, the top cover 543 and the upper shell 5413 define at least a portion of the first water channel 41 provided in the material box 5 and a portion of the second water channel 42 provided in the material box 5. By setting the top cover 543 and the upper shell 5413, the space inside the material box 5 is fully utilized to form a portion of the first water channel 41 and / or a portion of the second water channel 42, reducing the pipe arrangement of the first water channel 41 and / or the second water channel 42, and improving the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, the material box 5 has a first liquid inlet channel 52 that is disconnected from the detergent chamber 51. The first liquid inlet channel 52 is connected to the receiving chamber 5411. The first liquid inlet channel 52 and the receiving chamber 5411 form a first water passage 41 in at least a portion of the material box 5.

[0106] In this embodiment, by disconnecting the first liquid inlet channel 52 from the detergent chamber 51 and connecting it to the receiving chamber 5411, the first liquid inlet channel 52 and the detergent chamber 51 are independent of each other, and the detergent and the electrolyte in the first liquid inlet channel 52 flow separately, so as to realize the synchronous and independent dispensing of detergent and electrolyte. Moreover, the first liquid inlet channel 52 and the receiving chamber 5411 form a first water path 41 in at least part of the material box 5, which further improves the space utilization rate in the material box 5.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, the first liquid inlet channel 52 is formed between the top cover 543 and the upper shell 5413. Water in the first liquid inlet channel 52 can flow downward into the receiving cavity 5411 and from the receiving cavity 5411 to the processing cavity 21.

[0108] In some embodiments, the material box 5 further has a discharge port 544 and a discharge port 545. The discharge port 544 is connected to the receiving cavity 5411 and the first liquid inlet channel 52, and the discharge port 545 is connected to the receiving cavity 5411 and to the processing cavity 21 through a second connecting pipe.

[0109] In this embodiment, the first liquid inlet channel 52 is connected to the receiving cavity 5411 by setting the discharge port 544, and the receiving cavity 5411 is connected to the processing cavity 21 by setting the discharge port 545 and the second connecting pipe, thereby realizing the connection between the first liquid inlet channel 52 and the processing cavity 21.

[0110] Specifically, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, the discharge port 544 is located on the upper shell 5413 and extends through the upper shell 5413 in the vertical direction, so that the liquid in the first liquid inlet channel 52 flows into the receiving cavity 5411 through the discharge port 544. The discharge port 545 is located on the bottom shell 5412. The bottom wall surface of the receiving cavity 5411 and the outer peripheral surface of the feeding box 542 are arranged at intervals, so that the liquid in the receiving cavity 5411 flows from the rear end of the receiving cavity 5411 to the front end of the receiving cavity 5411 and flows out of the receiving cavity 5411 from the discharge port 545 at the front end of the receiving cavity 5411.

[0111] In some embodiments, the feed box 5 further includes a second liquid inlet channel 53, which communicates with the detergent chamber 51 and forms a portion of the second water passage 42 disposed in the feed box 5.

[0112] In this embodiment, by connecting the second liquid inlet channel 53 with the detergent chamber 51, the water flow in the second liquid inlet channel 53 can flush the detergent. The large flow of water in the second liquid inlet channel 53 enables the detergent and water to mix quickly and evenly, thereby improving the dispensing efficiency.

[0113] like Figure 3 As shown, the electrolysis device 6 is located in the second water channel 42, and the material box 5 is only located in the first water channel 41. The first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42 are independent of each other, so as to realize the simultaneous addition of detergent and electrolyte.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, when the material box 5 is located in the first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42, and the electrolysis device 6 is located upstream of the material box 5, the water flow rate in the first liquid inlet channel 52 of the material box 5 is less than the water flow rate in the second liquid inlet channel 53 of the material box 5. By placing the electrolysis device 6 in the second water channel 42 and connecting the detergent chamber 51 with the second liquid inlet channel 53, the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 6 is improved while ensuring the detergent dispensing efficiency.

[0115] When at least a portion of the electrolysis device 6 is located in the first liquid inlet channel 52 of the material box 5, the water flow rate in the first liquid inlet channel 52 of the material box 5 is less than the water flow rate in the second liquid inlet channel 53 of the material box 5. By locating at least a portion of the electrolysis device 6 in the first liquid inlet channel 52 and connecting the detergent chamber 51 with the second liquid inlet channel 53, the small flow rate of water from the first liquid inlet channel 52 can be used to electrolyze the water in the electrolysis device 6, which can prolong the residence time of water in the electrolysis device 6, make the electrolysis reaction more complete, and improve the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 6. At the same time, the large flow rate of the second liquid inlet channel 53 can be used to flush the detergent, so as to achieve rapid and uniform mixing of detergent and water and improve the dosing efficiency.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second liquid inlet channel 53 has a liquid outlet 531, which is connected to the processing chamber 21 via a first connecting pipe. This enables communication between the second liquid inlet channel 53 and the processing chamber 21.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the material box 5 is provided with a feed inlet 546, which is connected to the second liquid inlet channel 53 and the detergent chamber 51. The detergent in the detergent chamber 51 enters the second liquid inlet channel 53 through the feed inlet 546.

[0118] In this embodiment, the detergent chamber 51 is connected to the second liquid inlet channel 53 by setting the feed port 546, thereby enabling the detergent in the detergent chamber 51 to be transported to the second liquid inlet channel 53 and mixed with the water in the second liquid inlet channel 53.

[0119] Optionally, the detergent in the detergent chamber 51 is delivered to the second liquid inlet channel 53 by a delivery pump. The delivery pump can precisely control the amount and time of detergent delivery, improve the accuracy of detergent dosing, and precisely control the amount of detergent delivery to reduce waste, lower costs, and reduce environmental impact.

[0120] In some embodiments, the water valve 3 is used to supply water at different flow rates to the first water passage 41 and the second water passage 42, wherein the water flow rate of the first water passage 41 is greater than the water flow rate of the second water passage 42.

[0121] In this embodiment, water with different flow rates is supplied to the first water channel 41 and the second water channel 42 through the water valve 3, and the water flow rate of the first water channel 41 is greater than that of the second water channel 42. On the one hand, the large flow rate of the first water channel 41 can be used to rinse the detergent, so as to achieve rapid and uniform mixing of detergent and water and improve the detergent dosing efficiency. On the other hand, the small flow rate of the second water channel 42 can be used to prolong the residence time of water in the electrolysis device, so as to make the electrolysis reaction more complete and improve the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 6, thereby improving the clothing treatment effect.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the water valve 3 includes a first valve 31 and a second valve 32. The outlet of the first valve 31 is connected to the first water passage 41, and the outlet of the second valve 32 is connected to the second water passage 42. The rated outflow rate of the first valve 31 is greater than the rated outflow rate of the second valve 32.

[0123] In this embodiment, the first valve 31 is connected to the first water passage 41 to supply water to the first water passage 41, and the second valve 32 is connected to the second water passage 42 to supply water to the second water passage 42. The setting of the first valve 31 and the second valve 32 realizes the independent water supply of the first water passage 41 and the second water passage 42, which makes it easy to adjust the water flow of the first water passage 41 and the second water passage 42 respectively.

[0124] In some embodiments, the rated outflow rate of the first valve 31 is 7-9 L / min.

[0125] In this embodiment, the rated outflow rate of the first valve 31 is limited to meet the high flow rate requirement of the treatment cylinder 2, thereby improving the detergent dosing efficiency and spray uniformity.

[0126] Optionally, the rated outflow rate of the first valve 31 is 7L / min, 7.3L / min, 7.5L / min, 8L / min, 8.5L / min, or 9L / min.

[0127] In some embodiments, the rated outflow rate of the second valve 32 is 2-4 L / min.

[0128] In this embodiment, by limiting the rated outflow of the second valve 32, the residence time of water in the electrolysis device is extended, the electrolysis reaction is more complete, and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 6 is improved.

[0129] Optionally, the rated outlet flow rate of the second valve 32 is 2L / min, 2.3L / min, 2.5L / min, 3L / min, 3.5L / min, or 4L / min.

[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the electrolysis device 6 is detachably mounted on the housing 1 and located between the water valve 3 and the material box 5.

[0131] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device 6 is detachably mounted on the housing 1, which facilitates the installation of the electrolysis device 6 on the garment processing equipment. By placing the electrolysis device 6 between the water valve 3 and the material box 5, the space between the water valve 3 and the material box 5 can be rationally utilized, thereby improving the rationality of the layout and the compactness of the structure.

[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a mounting bracket 7, which is located inside the housing 1, and the electrolysis device 6 is mounted on the mounting bracket 7. The mounting bracket 7 prevents vibrations and shaking during equipment operation from being directly transmitted to the electrolysis device 6, and also prevents friction between the electrolysis device 6 and the housing 1 during operation, thus improving the stability and service life of the electrolysis device 6.

[0133] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the mounting bracket 7 is detachably connected to the housing 1, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the electrolysis device 6 and improving maintenance convenience. Furthermore, different sizes of mounting brackets 7 can be used to accommodate electrolysis devices 6 of varying sizes, allowing the electrolysis device 6 to be mounted on the housing 1 via the mounting bracket 7, thus enhancing installation convenience.

[0134] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device 6 is detachably connected to the housing 1 by means of the mounting bracket 7, which facilitates the installation of the electrolysis device 6 on the clothing processing equipment and also facilitates the disassembly of the electrolysis device 6 for cleaning, thereby improving the service life of the electrolysis device 6.

[0135] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the mounting bracket 7 has a connecting part 71 and a mounting part 72 that are connected to each other. The connecting part 71 is connected to the housing 1, and the mounting part 72 is used to mount the electrolysis device 6. The connection between the mounting bracket 7 and the housing 1 is achieved through the connecting part 71, and the connection between the electrolysis device 6 and the mounting bracket 7 is achieved through the mounting part 72, thereby realizing the connection between the electrolysis device 6 and the housing 1.

[0136] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the mounting portion 72 is lower than the connecting portion 71. By setting the mounting portion 72 to be lower than the connecting portion 71, it is easier to reserve installation space for the electrolysis device 6, so that the electrolysis device 6 is lower than the mounting portion 72, flush with the mounting portion 72, or slightly protruding from the mounting portion 72, thereby avoiding affecting the installation of the top plate of the garment processing equipment.

[0137] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the top of the inner wall of the housing 1 has a flange 11, and the connecting part 71 is connected to the flange 11. The flange 11 facilitates the connection between the top of the housing 1 and the connecting part 71, thereby avoiding the need for opening holes in the inner wall of the housing 1 and improving the layout rationality of the mounting bracket 7.

[0138] Furthermore, the contact surface between the flange 11 and the connecting part 71 is a plane, which further improves the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 7 and the housing 1.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9As shown, the mounting part 72 has a clearance part 721, which is used to avoid the water inlet and outlet of the electrolysis device 6. The water inlet and outlet of the electrolysis device 6 pass through the mounting bracket 7 through the clearance part 721, which improves the convenience of connecting the electrolysis device 6 to the pipeline. Moreover, the clearance part 721 can provide positioning for the installation of the electrolysis device 6, improving the ease of installation of the electrolysis device 6.

[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the mounting bracket 7 includes a first plate 73, a second plate 74, and a third plate 75. The second plate 74 extends vertically, the first plate 73 extends from the upper end of the second plate 74 toward the inner wall surface of the housing 1, and the third plate 75 extends from the lower end of the second plate 74 in a direction away from the inner wall surface of the housing 1. At least one of the first plate 73 and the second plate 74 forms a connecting portion 71, and the third plate 75 forms a mounting portion 72.

[0141] In this embodiment, the sequentially connected first plate 73, second plate 74, and third plate 75 increase the contact area between the flange 11 of the housing 1 and the first plate 73, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first plate 73 and the housing 1. The second plate 74 extends vertically, increasing the contact area between the second plate 74 and the inner wall of the housing 1, thus improving the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 7 and the housing 1. The third plate 75 extends away from the housing 1 to facilitate the installation of the electrolysis device 6, improving the ease of installation of the electrolysis device 6.

[0142] Furthermore, a connecting protrusion 77 is provided below the third plate 75. The connecting protrusion 77 extends in the vertical direction, and the bolt passes through the electrolysis device 6, the third plate 75 and the connecting protrusion 77 from top to bottom to connect them, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the electrolysis device 6 and the mounting bracket 7.

[0143] Furthermore, cross-arranged reinforcing ribs 76 are provided below the third plate 75 to enhance the structural strength of the third plate 75.

[0144] In some embodiments, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the second plate 74 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 741, and the inner wall surface of the housing 1 is located at the second snap-fit ​​portion. The first snap-fit ​​portion 741 and the second snap-fit ​​portion engage with each other. Through the first snap-fit ​​portion 741 and the second snap-fit ​​portion, the mounting bracket 7 can be easily installed on the housing 1 by snap-fit, achieving convenient installation while positioning the mounting bracket 7, thus improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0145] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the material box 5 is located in front of the water valve 3, and the water flow direction inside the electrolysis device 6 is parallel to the left and right direction or forms a preset angle with the left and right direction, with the preset angle being greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees.

[0146] In this embodiment, by making the water flow direction in the electrolysis device 6 parallel to the left and right directions or forming a preset angle with the left and right directions, it is convenient to install the electrolysis device 6 using the space between the water valve 3 and the material box 5, reducing the need to modify the original components of the clothing processing equipment and improving the ease of installation of the electrolysis device 6.

[0147] Optionally, the preset included angles are 1°, 3°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, and 45°.

[0148] In some embodiments, such as Figures 10-14 As shown, the electrolysis device 6 includes a housing 61 and an electrolysis assembly 62. An electrolysis chamber 611 is formed in the housing 61, and at least a portion of the electrolysis assembly 62 is disposed within the electrolysis chamber 611.

[0149] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the electrolysis component 62 is disposed within the housing 61, and the electrolysis device 6 is installed by utilizing the connection between the housing 61 and the casing 1. By modularizing the electrolysis device 6, the ease of installation of the electrolysis device 6 is improved.

[0150] Specifically, the shell 61 has an inlet 6111 and an outlet 6112. The electrolysis chamber 611 is connected to the inlet 6111 and the outlet 6112. The inlet 6111 is used to transport water into the electrolysis chamber 611, and the outlet 6112 is used to output the electrolyte after electrolysis by the electrolysis component 62.

[0151] In some embodiments, such as Figures 11-14 As shown, the electrolysis assembly 62 includes a first electrode plate 621, a second electrode plate 622, a first connector 623, and a second connector 624. The first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 are stacked in a first direction. The first connector 623 and the second connector 624 both pass through the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 along the first direction. One end of the first connector 623 extends out of the electrolysis cavity 611 to form a first terminal. The first connector 623 is in conductive contact with the first electrode plate 621. One end of the second connector 624 extends out of the electrolysis cavity 611 to form a second terminal. The second connector 624 is in conductive contact with the second electrode plate 622.

[0152] In this embodiment, the first connector 623 and the second connector 624 are both inserted through the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 along the first direction, which facilitates the installation of the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622. Moreover, one end of the first connector 623 extends out of the electrolysis cavity 611 to form a first terminal, and one end of the second connector 624 extends out of the electrolysis cavity 611 to form a second terminal. The first electrode plate 621 is energized through the conductive contact between the first connector 623 and the first electrode plate 621, and the second electrode plate 622 is energized through the conductive contact between the second connector 624 and the second electrode plate 622. Compared to the structure in related technologies that requires separate clamping and energizing parts, the electrolysis assembly 62 in this embodiment, through the provision of the first connector 623 and the second connector 624, achieves the simultaneous installation and fixation of the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622, and simultaneously energizes the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622. This simplifies the structure of the electrolysis assembly 62, making it simpler and easier to install.

[0153] Furthermore, by extending one end of the first connector 623 out of the electrolysis chamber 611 to form a first terminal block, and extending one end of the second connector 624 out of the electrolysis chamber 611 to form a second terminal block, the first and second terminals are prevented from contacting the liquid inside the electrolysis chamber 611, thereby preventing short circuits under the impact of water flow and improving electrical safety.

[0154] In some embodiments, the first direction is the up-down direction.

[0155] In this embodiment, by setting the first direction to be consistent with the up and down direction, the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 are placed horizontally and stacked in the up and down direction. The bubbles generated by the electrolysis reaction quickly detach from the surface of the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 under the action of buoyancy, which reduces the residence time of the bubbles on the surface of the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 and improves the stability of the electrolysis reaction.

[0156] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 62 further includes a proton exchange membrane 625 disposed between the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622.

[0157] In this embodiment, a proton exchange membrane 625 is provided between the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622. Since the proton exchange membrane 625 is non-conductive and can transfer protons, it can prevent the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622 from short-circuiting, reduce the distance between the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0158] Specifically, such as Figures 13-14As shown, the first connector 623 and the second connector 624 are both inserted through the proton exchange membrane 625. The proton exchange membrane 625 is used to separate the first electrode plate 621 and the second electrode plate 622.

[0159] When the electrolysis component 62 electrolyzes water, water molecules ionize to generate cations and anions. At least one of the cations and anions can migrate through the proton exchange membrane 625. For example, hydrogen ions can migrate through the proton exchange membrane 625, resulting in high-concentration cation regions and high-concentration anion regions forming on both sides of the proton exchange membrane 625 in the first direction, respectively. When the first electrode plate 621 is set as the anode and the second electrode plate 622 is set as the cathode, hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, which have 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, as well as hydrogen gas, are directed to the processing chamber 21 by the water flow. Ozone and hydroxyl radicals are used to sterilize and disinfect clothing and decolorize dyes. Hydrogen gas is used to penetrate into the clothing fibers, causing them to explode, be adsorbed, and float to the surface. This achieves the functions of sterilization, disinfection, and colorfastness prevention for clothing while improving the washing ratio of the clothing processing equipment.

[0160] In some embodiments, at least one of the first electrode sheet 621 and the second electrode sheet 622 is provided with a through hole 626 extending in a first direction, so that the electrolyte in the electrolysis chamber 611 diffuses through the through hole 626 to the space between the electrode sheet and the proton exchange membrane 625.

[0161] In this embodiment, at least one of the first electrode plates 621 and the second electrode plate 622 is provided with a through hole 626 extending in the first direction, so that the electrolyte in the electrolysis chamber 611 can diffuse between the electrode plate and the proton exchange membrane 625, so that the electrolysis reaction can continue and carry away the electrolysis products, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0162] Specifically, such as Figures 13-14 As shown, at least one of the first electrode sheet 621 and the second electrode sheet 622 is provided with a through hole 626 extending along the first direction. This can be understood as: the first electrode sheet 621 is provided with a through hole 626, or the second electrode sheet 622 is provided with a through hole 626, or both the first electrode sheet 621 and the second electrode sheet 622 are provided with a through hole 626.

[0163] Optionally, there may be one or more connecting holes 626, for example, there may be three connecting holes 626.

[0164] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13-14As shown, the electrolysis assembly 62 also includes a first insulating pad 6271 and a second insulating pad 6272. The first insulating pad 6271 is disposed between the first connector 623 and the second electrode plate 622 to electrically isolate the first connector 623 and the second electrode plate 622. The second insulating pad 6272 is disposed between the second connector 624 and the first electrode plate 621 to electrically isolate the second connector 624 and the first electrode plate 621.

[0165] In this embodiment, by providing a first insulating gasket 6271 between the first connector 623 and the second electrode plate 622, electrical isolation between the first connector 623 and the second electrode plate 622 is achieved, so that the first connector 623 is only electrically connected to the first electrode plate 621. By using a second insulating gasket 6272 between the second connector 624 and the first electrode plate 621, the second connector 624 is only electrically connected to the second electrode plate 622. This achieves electrical connection between the first connector 623 and the first electrode plate 621, and between the second connector 624 and the second electrode plate 622, ensuring the normal progress of the electrolysis reaction.

[0166] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13-14 As shown, the electrolysis assembly 62 also includes a first conductive pad 6273 and a second conductive pad 6274. The first conductive pad 6273 is arranged around the first connector 623 and is in electrical contact with the first electrode plate 621. The second conductive pad 6274 is arranged around the second connector 624 and is in electrical contact with the second electrode plate 622.

[0167] In this embodiment, by setting the first conductive pad 6273 and the second conductive pad 6274, the contact area between the first connector 623 and the first electrode plate 621 and the contact area between the second connector 624 and the second electrode plate 622 are increased, thereby improving the conductivity between the first connector 623 and the first electrode plate 621 and the conductivity between the second connector 624 and the second electrode plate 622.

[0168] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 62 further includes a first conductive end plate 6281, which is disposed on the side of the first electrode plate 621 away from the second electrode plate 622 and is electrically connected to the first electrode plate 621 and the first connector 623.

[0169] In this embodiment, a first conductive end plate 6281 is provided on the side of the first electrode plate 621 away from the second electrode plate 622, so that the first conductive end plate 6281 can evenly distribute the current to the first electrode plate 621, avoid local overload, and the first conductive end plate 6281 can disperse stress and protect the first electrode plate 621.

[0170] Optionally, such as Figures 13-14As shown, the first conductive end plate 6281 is attached to the first electrode plate 621, and a low-resistance busbar is formed between the first conductive end plate 6281 and the first electrode plate 621, which helps to reduce resistance. For example, the first conductive end plate 6281 is a titanium plate, and the high conductivity of titanium plate can improve the conductivity efficiency.

[0171] Optionally, the first conductive end plate 6281 is provided with a first connecting groove 62811 corresponding to and connected to the connecting hole 626, so as to ensure that the electrolyte in the electrolysis chamber 611 can diffuse between the first electrode plate 621 and the proton exchange membrane 625.

[0172] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 62 further includes a second conductive end plate 6282, which is disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet 622 away from the first electrode sheet 621 and is electrically connected to the second electrode sheet 622 and the second connector 624.

[0173] In this embodiment, a second conductive end plate 6282 is provided on the side of the second electrode plate 622 away from the first electrode plate 621, so that the second conductive end plate 6282 can evenly distribute the current to the second electrode plate 622, avoid local overload, and the second conductive end plate 6282 can disperse stress and protect the second electrode plate 622.

[0174] Optionally, such as Figures 13-14 As shown, the second conductive end plate 6282 is attached to the second electrode plate 622, and a low-resistance busbar is formed between the second conductive end plate 6282 and the second electrode plate 622, which helps to reduce resistance. For example, the second conductive end plate 6282 is a titanium plate, and the high conductivity of titanium plate can improve the conductivity efficiency.

[0175] Optionally, the second conductive end plate 6282 is provided with a second connecting groove 62821 corresponding to and connected to the connecting hole 626, so as to ensure that the electrolyte in the electrolysis chamber 611 can diffuse between the second electrode plate 622 and the proton membrane 625.

[0176] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13-14 As shown, both the first connector 623 and the second connector 624 are bolts. The electrolysis assembly 62 also includes a first nut 6291 and a second nut 6292. The first nut 6291 fits around the outer periphery of the first connector 623 to press the first conductive pad 6273 onto the first conductive end plate 6281. The second nut 6292 fits around the outer periphery of the second connector 624 to press the second insulating pad 6272 onto the first conductive end plate 6281.

[0177] In this embodiment, the threaded engagement between the first nut 6291 and the first connector 623 achieves a tight connection between the first conductive pad 6273, the first conductive end plate 6281, the first electrode plate 621, the proton exchange membrane 625, the second electrode plate 622, the second conductive end plate 6282, and the first insulating pad 6271. The threaded engagement between the second nut 6292 and the second connector 624 achieves a tight connection between the second insulating pad 6272, the first conductive end plate 6281, the first electrode plate 621, the proton exchange membrane 625, the second electrode plate 622, the second conductive end plate 6282, and the second conductive pad 6274, preventing misalignment under the impact of water flow and improving the structural stability of the electrolysis assembly 62.

[0178] In some embodiments, such as Figures 13-14 As shown, both the first insulating gasket 6271 and the second insulating gasket 6272 include a body portion 6275 and an annular flange portion 6276. The annular flange portion 6276 is connected to the body portion 6275. The body portion 6275 of the first insulating gasket 6271 is sandwiched between the head of the first connector 623 and the second conductive end plate 6282. The annular flange portion 6276 of the first insulating gasket 6271 surrounds the first connector 623 and extends through the second conductive end plate 6282 into the second electrode plate 622. The body portion 6275 of the second insulating gasket 6272 is sandwiched between the second nut 6292 and the first conductive end plate 6281. The annular flange portion 6276 of the second insulating gasket 6272 surrounds the second connector 624 and extends through the first conductive end plate 6281 into the first electrode plate 621.

[0179] In this embodiment, the body portion 6275 of the first insulating pad 6271 is sandwiched between the head of the first connector 623 and the second conductive end plate 6282 to electrically isolate the head of the first connector 623 from the second conductive end plate 6282 in a first direction. The annular flange portion 6276 of the first insulating pad 6271 surrounds the first connector 623 and extends through the second conductive end plate 6282 into the second electrode plate 622 to electrically isolate the first connector 623 from the second conductive end plate 6282 and from the second electrode plate 622 in the radial direction of the first connector 623, thereby achieving complete electrical isolation between the first connector 623 and the second electrode plate 622. By clamping the body portion 6275 of the second insulating gasket 6272 between the second nut 6292 and the first conductive end plate 6281, the second nut 6292 and the first conductive end plate 6281 are electrically isolated in a first direction. By surrounding the second connector 624 and passing through the first conductive end plate 6281 into the first electrode plate 621, the second connector 624 and the first conductive end plate 6281 are electrically isolated in the radial direction, and the second connector 624 and the first electrode plate 621 are completely electrically isolated.

[0180] Specifically, the first connector 623 is sequentially inserted from bottom to top through the first insulating pad 6271, the second conductive end plate 6282, the second electrode plate 622, the proton exchange membrane 625, the first electrode plate 621, the first conductive end plate 6281, the first conductive pad 6273, and the first nut 6291; the second connector 624 is sequentially inserted from bottom to top through the second conductive pad 6274, the second conductive end plate 6282, the second electrode plate 622, the proton exchange membrane 625, the first electrode plate 621, the first conductive end plate 6281, the second insulating pad 6272, and the second nut 6292.

[0181] In some embodiments, such as Figures 10-12 As shown, the housing 61 includes a first housing 612 and a second housing 613, which are connected to define an electrolysis chamber 611. A first connector 623 and a second connector 624 are connected to the first housing 612.

[0182] The housing 61 in this embodiment includes a first housing 612 and a second housing 613. The electrolysis assembly 62 is installed inside the housing 61 by connecting the first connector 623 and the second connector 624 to the first housing 612, thereby improving the ease of installation.

[0183] Optionally, the first shell 612 has an outer peripheral flange 6121 defining the cavity 6122 on the side opposite to the second shell 613, and the end of the first connector 623 extending out of the electrolysis cavity 611 and the end of the second connector 624 extending out of the electrolysis cavity 611 are both located inside the cavity 6122.

[0184] The electrolysis device 6 also includes two sealing rings 64. One sealing ring 64 is fitted on the first connecting member 623 and seals with the first shell 612, and the other sealing ring 64 is fitted on the second connecting member 624 and seals with the first shell 612.

[0185] In some embodiments, at least one of the inner wall of the first shell 612 and the inner wall of the second shell 613 is provided with a baffle 614, the free end of the baffle 614 extending toward the adjacent electrode sheet and spaced apart from each other.

[0186] In this embodiment, the baffle 614 gathers the liquid in the electrolysis chamber 611 toward the connecting hole 626, which can increase the water flow rate and thus increase the diffusion rate of water in the electrolysis chamber 611 to the electrode plate and the proton exchange membrane 625, thereby further improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0187] Specifically, such as Figure 11 As shown, at least one of the inner walls of the first shell 612 and the second shell 613 is provided with a baffle 614. This can be understood as: the inner wall of the first shell 612 is provided with a baffle 614, or the inner wall of the second shell 613 is provided with a baffle 614, or both the inner walls of the first shell 612 and the inner walls of the second shell 613 are provided with baffles 614. In this embodiment, both the inner walls of the first shell 612 and the inner walls of the second shell 613 are provided with baffles 614. The baffle 614 extends along a first direction.

[0188] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the electrolysis device 6 also includes a third nut 631 and a fourth nut 632. The third nut 631 is engaged with one end of the first connector 623 that extends out of the electrolysis chamber 611, and the fourth nut 632 is engaged with one end of the second connector 624 that extends out of the electrolysis chamber 611, so that the electrolysis assembly 62 is suspended in the electrolysis chamber 611 by the first connector 623 and the second connector 624.

[0189] In this embodiment, the first connector 623 extends out of the electrolysis chamber 611 and engages with the third nut 631, and the second connector 624 extends out of the electrolysis chamber 611 and engages with the fourth nut 632, so as to suspend the electrolysis component 62 inside the electrolysis chamber 611, avoid the electrolysis component 62 from contacting the inner wall surface of the housing 61, block stray current circuit, and thus extend the overall service life of the electrolysis device 6.

[0190] Optionally, the third nut 631 and the fourth nut 632 are both located within the chamber 6122.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first electrode sheet 621 and the second electrode sheet 622 both include a substrate and a coating disposed on the substrate. The coating is disposed on both the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing the second electrode sheet 622 and the surface away from the second electrode sheet 622, or the coating is disposed only on the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing the second electrode sheet 622.

[0192] In this embodiment, a coating is provided on both the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing the second electrode sheet 622 and the surface away from the second electrode sheet 622, or a coating is provided only on the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing the second electrode sheet 622. The coating reduces the charge transfer resistance and avoids substrate exposure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly 62.

[0193] Optionally, the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing the second electrode sheet 622 is coated. Since the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing away from the second electrode sheet 622 is covered by the first conductive end plate 6281 and has no contact with the outside, the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 facing away from the second electrode sheet 622 does not need to be coated, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0194] Optionally, the substrate of the first electrode sheet 621 is a silicon substrate, and the coating of the first electrode sheet 621 is a diamond coating.

[0195] In some embodiments, both the first electrode sheet 621 and the second electrode sheet 622 include a substrate and a coating disposed on the substrate. The coating is disposed on both the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing the first electrode sheet 621 and the surface away from the first electrode sheet 621, or the coating is disposed only on the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing the first electrode sheet 621.

[0196] In this embodiment, a coating is provided on both the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing the first electrode sheet 621 and the surface away from the first electrode sheet 621, or a coating is provided only on the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing the first electrode sheet 621. The coating reduces the charge transfer resistance and avoids substrate exposure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly 62.

[0197] Optionally, the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing the first electrode sheet 621 is coated. Since the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing away from the first electrode sheet 621 is covered by the second conductive end plate 6282 and has no contact with the outside world, the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 622 facing away from the first electrode sheet 621 does not need to be coated, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0198] Optionally, the substrate of the second electrode 622 is a silicon substrate, and the coating of the second electrode 622 is a diamond coating.
