Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of garment processing technology, specifically to a nozzle device and garment processing equipment. Background Technology

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

[0003] In related technologies, the electrolysis device is usually installed inside the processing drum of the garment processing equipment. The electrolysis device only starts to work and perform electrolysis when the water in the processing drum reaches a certain height and submerges the device, resulting in low electrolysis efficiency. 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 improves the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component by housing at least a portion of the electrolysis component within a nozzle device.

[0005] This disclosure also proposes a garment processing device.

[0006] The nozzle device of this disclosure includes: a housing having a chamber, an inlet, and an outlet, the inlet and the outlet both communicating with the chamber; and an electrolysis assembly, at least a portion of which is disposed within the chamber for electrolyzing a liquid within the chamber, wherein the liquid entering the chamber from the inlet is electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly and then flows out of the chamber through the outlet.

[0007] The nozzle device of this disclosure, by disposing at least a portion of the electrolysis component in the cavity of the housing, enables the electrolysis component to electrolyze the liquid entering the cavity from the inlet, and the electrolyzed liquid flows out of the cavity through the outlet, thereby achieving flow-through electrolysis, improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component, and by disposing at least a portion of the electrolysis component in the cavity, the internal space of the nozzle device can be fully utilized, thereby improving the structural compactness.

[0008] In some embodiments, the inlet includes a first inlet and a second inlet, both of which communicate with the chamber.

[0009] In this embodiment, by opening a first inlet and a second inlet on the housing, the nozzle device can be connected to different liquid flow paths, which facilitates the electrolysis component to electrolyze liquids from different liquid flow paths.

[0010] In some embodiments, at least one of the first inlet and the second inlet is located above the electrolysis assembly. This allows the liquid within the chamber to fully contact the electrolysis assembly, improving its electrolysis efficiency.

[0011] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 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 are both disposed through the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate along the first direction. One end of the first connector extends out of the cavity and is used to connect to a first terminal. The first connector is in conductive contact with the first electrode plate. One end of the second connector extends out of the cavity and is used to connect to a second terminal. The second connector is in conductive contact with the second electrode plate.

[0012] In this embodiment, by having both the first and second connectors pass through the first and second electrode plates along a first direction, it facilitates the installation of the first and second electrode plates. One end of the first connector extends out of the cavity and connects to the first terminal, and one end of the second connector extends out of the cavity and connects to the second terminal. The first electrode plate is energized through conductive contact with the first connector, and the second electrode plate is energized through conductive contact with the second connector. Compared to related technologies that require separate clamping and energizing parts, the electrolysis assembly in this embodiment, through the first and second connectors, achieves both the installation and fixation of the first and second electrode plates while simultaneously energizing them. This simplifies the structure of the electrolysis assembly, making it more streamlined and easier to install.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inlet is located on one side of the housing in the first direction, and the electrolysis assembly is adjacent to the other side of the housing in the first direction.

[0014] In this embodiment, by placing the inlet on one side of the housing in the first direction and the electrolysis component adjacent to the other side of the housing in the first direction, the liquid entering the chamber through the inlet can be made to fully contact the electrolysis component, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component.

[0015] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a proton exchange membrane disposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate.

[0016] 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 the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet from short-circuiting, reduce the distance between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0017] In some embodiments, at least one of the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet is provided with a through hole extending along the first direction, so that liquid entering the chamber through the inlet can diffuse between the electrode sheet and the proton membrane.

[0018] In this embodiment, at least one of the first and second electrode plates is provided with a through hole extending in the first direction, so that the liquid in the chamber can diffuse between the electrode plate and the proton exchange membrane, allowing the electrolysis reaction to continue and carrying away the electrolysis products, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0019] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a first insulating pad and a second insulating pad, wherein the first insulating pad is disposed between the first connector and the second electrode plate to electrically isolate the first connector and the second electrode plate, and the second insulating pad is disposed between the second connector and the first electrode plate to electrically isolate the second connector and the first electrode plate.

[0020] In this embodiment, by setting a first insulating gasket between the first connector and the second electrode sheet, electrical isolation between the first connector and the second electrode sheet is achieved, so that the first connector is only electrically connected to the first electrode sheet. By setting a second insulating gasket between the second connector and the first electrode sheet, the second connector is only electrically connected to the second electrode sheet. This achieves electrical connection between the first connector and the first electrode sheet and between the second connector and the second electrode sheet, ensuring the normal progress of the electrolysis reaction.

[0021] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a first conductive pad and a second conductive pad, the first conductive pad being arranged around the first connector and stacked with the first electrode sheet, and the second conductive pad being arranged around the second connector and stacked with the second electrode sheet.

[0022] In this embodiment, by setting the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad, the contact area between the first connector and the first electrode sheet and the contact area between the second connector and the second electrode sheet are increased, thereby improving the conductivity between the first connector and the first electrode sheet and the conductivity between the second connector and the second electrode sheet.

[0023] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a first conductive end plate, which is disposed on the side of the first electrode sheet opposite to the second electrode sheet and is electrically connected to the first electrode sheet and the first connector.

[0024] In this embodiment, a first conductive end plate is provided on the side of the first electrode sheet away from the second electrode sheet, so that the first conductive end plate can evenly distribute the current to the first electrode sheet, avoiding local overload. Moreover, the first conductive end plate can disperse stress and provide protection for the first electrode sheet.

[0025] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly further includes a second conductive end plate, which is disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet opposite to the first electrode sheet and is electrically connected to the second electrode sheet and the second connector.

[0026] In this embodiment, a second conductive end plate is provided on the side of the second electrode sheet away from the first electrode sheet. This allows the second conductive end plate to distribute the current evenly to the second electrode sheet, avoiding local overload. Furthermore, the second conductive end plate can disperse stress and provide protection for the second electrode sheet.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first connector and the second connector are bolts, and the electrolysis assembly further includes a first nut and a second nut. The first nut is fitted around the outer periphery of the first connector to press the first conductive gasket onto the first conductive end plate, and the second nut is fitted around the outer periphery of the second connector to press the second insulating gasket onto the first conductive end plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the threaded engagement between the first nut and the first connector enables a tight connection between the first conductive gasket, the first conductive end plate, the first electrode plate, the proton exchange membrane, the second electrode plate, the second conductive end plate, and the first insulating gasket. The threaded engagement between the second nut and the second connector enables a tight connection between the second insulating gasket, the first conductive end plate, the first electrode plate, the proton exchange membrane, the second electrode plate, the second conductive end plate, and the second conductive gasket. This prevents misalignment under the impact of liquid and improves the structural stability of the electrolysis assembly.

[0029] In some embodiments, both the first insulating gasket and the second insulating gasket include an end plate and an annular portion, the annular portion being connected to the end plate. The end plate of the first insulating gasket abuts between the head of the first connector and the second conductive end plate. The annular portion of the first insulating gasket surrounds the first connector and extends through the second conductive end plate into the second electrode sheet. The end plate of the second insulating gasket abuts between the second nut and the first conductive end plate. The annular portion of the second insulating gasket surrounds the second connector and extends through the first conductive end plate into the first electrode sheet.

[0030] In this embodiment, by abutting the end plate of the first insulating gasket between the head of the first connector and the second conductive end plate, electrical isolation between the head of the first connector and the second conductive end plate is achieved in a first direction. By having the annular portion of the first insulating gasket surround the first connector and extend through the second conductive end plate into the second electrode plate, complete electrical isolation between the first connector and the second conductive end plate, as well as between the first connector and the second electrode plate, is achieved in a radial direction. Similarly, by abutting the end plate of the second insulating gasket between the second nut and the first conductive end plate, electrical isolation between the second nut and the first conductive end plate is achieved in a first direction. Furthermore, by having the annular portion of the second insulating gasket surround the second connector and extend through the first conductive end plate into the first electrode plate, complete electrical isolation between the second connector and the first conductive end plate, as well as between the second connector and the first electrode plate, is achieved in a radial direction.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first connector is sequentially disposed through the first insulating pad, the second conductive end plate, the second electrode plate, the proton exchange membrane, the first electrode plate, the first conductive end plate, the first conductive pad, and the first nut, and the second connector is sequentially disposed through the second conductive pad, the second conductive end plate, the second electrode plate, the proton exchange membrane, the first electrode plate, the first conductive end plate, the second insulating pad, and the second nut.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first connector and the first nut enable the first insulating gasket, the second conductive end plate, the second electrode plate, the proton exchange membrane, the first electrode plate, the first conductive end plate, and the first conductive gasket to form an integral structure. The second connector and the second nut enable the second conductive gasket, the second conductive end plate, the second electrode plate, the proton exchange membrane, the first electrode plate, the first conductive end plate, and the second insulating gasket to form an integral structure, which helps to improve the structural strength of the electrolysis assembly.

[0033] In some embodiments, both the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet 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 facing the second electrode sheet and the surface away from the second electrode sheet, or the coating is disposed only on the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet facing the second electrode sheet.

[0034] In this embodiment, a coating is provided on both the surface of the first electrode sheet facing the second electrode sheet and the surface away from the second electrode sheet, or a coating is provided only on the surface of the first electrode sheet facing the second electrode sheet. The coating reduces charge transfer resistance and avoids substrate exposure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly.

[0035] In some embodiments, the coating is provided on both the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet facing the first electrode sheet and the surface away from the first electrode sheet, or the coating is provided only on the surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet facing the first electrode sheet.

[0036] In this embodiment, a coating is provided on both the surface of the second electrode sheet facing the first electrode sheet and the surface away from the first electrode sheet, or a coating is provided only on the surface of the second electrode sheet facing the first electrode sheet. The coating reduces charge transfer resistance and avoids substrate exposure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly.

[0037] The garment processing device of this disclosure includes: a housing; a processing cylinder disposed within the housing and having a processing chamber; and a nozzle device, wherein the nozzle device includes the nozzle device described in any of the above embodiments and is disposed in the processing cylinder, and the outlet of the nozzle device is in communication with the processing chamber.

[0038] The clothing treatment device of this embodiment is connected to the treatment chamber through the outlet of the nozzle device. The liquid electrolyzed by the electrolysis component in the nozzle device flows to the treatment chamber through the outlet of the nozzle device. Since the electrolysis component is located in the nozzle device, that is, upstream of the treatment chamber, the electrolysis component can electrolyze the liquid before it enters the treatment chamber, realizing flow-through electrolysis and preventing lint from the clothing from adhering to the electrolysis component, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component.

[0039] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a water valve disposed in the housing and connected to the inlet of the spray head device.

[0040] In this embodiment, the water valve is connected to the inlet of the nozzle device to facilitate water supply to the nozzle device, thereby facilitating the electrolysis of the liquid by the electrolysis component.

[0041] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a detergent dispenser disposed within the housing and having a detergent chamber. A water valve is connected to a first inlet of the spray head assembly, and the detergent chamber is also connected to a second inlet of the spray head assembly. This improves the flow efficiency of the liquid entering the spray head assembly through the first inlet. Attached Figure Description

[0060] 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.

[0061] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 The nozzle device 30 of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0062] The nozzle device 30 of this embodiment includes a housing 1 and an electrolysis assembly 2. The housing 1 has a chamber 11, an inlet 12, and an outlet 13, both of which communicate with the chamber 11. At least a portion of the electrolysis assembly 2 is disposed within the chamber 11 for electrolyzing the liquid within the chamber 11, wherein the liquid entering the chamber 11 from the inlet 12 is electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly 2 and then flows out of the chamber 11 through the outlet 13.

[0063] The nozzle device 30 of this embodiment of the present disclosure, by disposing at least a portion of the electrolysis component 2 in the chamber 11 of the housing 1, enables the electrolysis component 2 to electrolyze the liquid entering the chamber 11 from the inlet 12, and the electrolyzed liquid flows out of the chamber 11 through the outlet 13, thereby realizing flow-through electrolysis, improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 2, and by disposing at least a portion of the electrolysis component 2 in the chamber 11, the internal space of the nozzle device 30 can be fully utilized, thereby improving the structural compactness.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the housing 1 includes a first housing 14 and a second housing 15, which are connected to define a chamber 11. The inlet 12 and the outlet 13 are both located in the second housing 15. By configuring the housing 1 as a first housing 14 and a second housing 15, it is convenient to install the electrolysis assembly 2 inside the housing 1.

[0065] It should be noted that, as Figure 6 As shown, the nozzle device 30 is installed on the front sealing door of the garment processing equipment. The upper side of the housing 1 has a mounting part 3, which connects to the front sealing door of the garment processing equipment to mount the nozzle device 30 on the front sealing door. The lower side of the housing 1 has a nozzle 4, which communicates with the outlet 13. The nozzle 4 sprays the liquid electrolyzed by the electrolysis component 2 in the chamber 11 into the processing chamber 210 of the processing cylinder 20. By placing the nozzle device 30 upstream of the processing cylinder 20, the electrolysis component 2 can electrolyze the liquid before it enters the processing chamber 210, achieving flow-through electrolysis. This prevents lint from the garments inside the processing cylinder 20 from adhering to the electrolysis component 2, thus improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 2.

[0066] In some embodiments, inlet 12 includes a first inlet 121 and a second inlet 122, both of which are connected to chamber 11.

[0067] In this embodiment, by opening a first inlet 121 and a second inlet 122 on the housing 1, the nozzle device 30 can be connected to different liquid flow paths, which facilitates the electrolysis component 2 to electrolyze liquids from different liquid flow paths.

[0068] In some embodiments, at least one of the first inlet 121 and the second inlet 122 is located above the electrolysis assembly 2. This allows the liquid in the chamber 11 to have sufficient contact with the electrolysis assembly 2, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis assembly 2.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first inlet 121 and the second inlet 122 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, with the first inlet 121 located above the second inlet 122. For example, the first inlet 121 can be directly connected to the water valve 40 of the garment processing equipment, facilitating the direct entry of liquid from the water valve 40 into the chamber 11 through the first inlet 121, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the liquid. The second inlet 122 can be connected to the detergent box, facilitating the entry of the detergent-water mixture into the chamber 11.

[0070] At least one of the first inlet 121 and the second inlet 122 is located above the electrolysis component 2. This can be understood as: the first inlet 121 is above the electrolysis component 2, or the second inlet 122 is located above the electrolysis component 2, or both the first inlet 121 and the second inlet 122 are located above the electrolysis component 2. In this embodiment, the first inlet 121 is located above the electrolysis component 2, which facilitates sufficient contact between the liquid entering the chamber 11 through the first inlet 121 and the electrolysis component 2, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 2.

[0071] Of course, in some other embodiments, only one inlet 12 may be provided, which can avoid modifying the original connecting pipe of the nozzle device 30 and help reduce costs.

[0072] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 2 includes a first electrode plate 21, a second electrode plate 22, a first connector 23, and a second connector 24. The first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22 are stacked in a first direction. The first connector 23 and the second connector 24 are both disposed through the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22 along the first direction. One end of the first connector 23 extends out of the chamber 11 and is used to connect to a first terminal. The first connector 23 is in conductive contact with the first electrode plate 21. One end of the second connector 24 extends out of the chamber 11 and is used to connect to a second terminal. The second connector 24 is in conductive contact with the second electrode plate 22.

[0073] In this embodiment, by having both the first connector 23 and the second connector 24 pass through the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22 along a first direction, it is convenient to install the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22. One end of the first connector 23 extends out of the chamber 11 and connects to the first terminal, and one end of the second connector 24 extends out of the chamber 11 and connects to the second terminal. Through the conductive contact between the first connector 23 and the first electrode plate 21, the first electrode plate 21 is energized; through the conductive contact between the second connector 24 and the second electrode plate 22, the second electrode plate 22 is energized. Compared to the structure in related technologies that requires separate clamping and energizing parts, the electrolysis assembly 2 in this embodiment, through the provision of the first connector 23 and the second connector 24, achieves both the installation and fixation of the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22, while simultaneously energizing both the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22. This simplifies the structure of the electrolysis assembly 2, making it simpler and easier to install.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the first direction is consistent with the left and right direction. The first electrode plate 21 is located to the right of the second electrode plate 22. The first connector 23 passes through the second electrode plate 22 and the first electrode plate 21 from left to right and then extends out of the chamber 11. The second connector 24 passes through the second electrode plate 22 and the first electrode plate 21 from left to right and then extends out of the chamber 11.

[0075] By extending the right end of the first connector 23 out of the chamber 11 and connecting it to the first terminal, and extending the right end of the second connector 24 out of the chamber 11 and connecting it to the second terminal, the right end of the first connector 23 and the first terminal, as well as the right end of the second connector 24 and the second terminal, are prevented from contacting the liquid in the chamber 11, thereby preventing short circuits under the impact of the liquid and improving electrical safety.

[0076] Optionally, fasteners are fitted to one end of the first connector 23 extending out of the chamber 11 and the right end of the second connector 24 extending out of the chamber 11, and the electrolysis assembly 2 is fixed to the housing by the fasteners cooperating with the first connector 23 and the second connector 24.

[0077] In some embodiments, the inlet 12 is located on one side of the housing 1 in the first direction, and the electrolysis component 2 is adjacent to the other side of the housing 1 in the first direction. By placing the inlet 12 on one side of the housing 1 in the first direction and the electrolysis component 2 adjacent to the other side of the housing 1 in the first direction, the liquid entering the chamber 11 through the inlet 12 can be made to have sufficient contact with the electrolysis component 2, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 2.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3As shown, inlet 12 is located on the left side of housing 1, and electrolysis component 2 is located on the right side of housing 1. It can be understood that inlet 12 can also be located on the right side of housing 1, and correspondingly, electrolysis component 2 is located on the left side of housing 1.

[0079] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 2 further includes a proton exchange membrane 25 disposed between the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22.

[0080] In this embodiment, a proton membrane 25 is provided between the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22. Since the proton membrane 25 is non-conductive and can transfer protons, it can prevent the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22 from short-circuiting, reduce the distance between the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving electrolysis efficiency.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, both the first connector 23 and the second connector 24 are inserted through the proton exchange membrane 25. The first electrode plate 21 is located on the right side of the proton exchange membrane 25, and the second electrode plate 22 is located on the left side of the proton exchange membrane 25. The proton exchange membrane 25 is used to separate the first electrode plate 21 and the second electrode plate 22.

[0082] During electrolysis by the electrolysis component 2, water molecules ionize to generate cations and anions. At least one of the cations and anions can migrate through the proton exchange membrane 25. For example, hydrogen ions can migrate through the proton exchange membrane 25, resulting in high-concentration cation regions and high-concentration anion regions forming on both sides of the proton exchange membrane 25 in the first direction, respectively. When the first electrode plate 21 is set as the anode and the second electrode plate 22 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. Through the flow of liquid, the hydroxyl radicals and / or ozone, which have strong oxidizing activity, as well as the hydrogen gas, flow through the outlet 13 to the processing chamber 210 of the processing cylinder 20 of the clothing processing equipment. Ozone and hydroxyl radicals are used to sterilize and disinfect the clothing and decolorize the dyes. Hydrogen gas enters the inside of the clothing fibers and explodes, adsorbs, and floats upward, achieving the functions of sterilization, disinfection, and anti-color bleeding of the clothing, while also improving the washing ratio of the clothing processing equipment.

[0083] In some embodiments, at least one of the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 is provided with a through hole 26 extending in a first direction, so that liquid entering the chamber 11 through the inlet 12 can diffuse between the electrode sheet and the proton membrane 25.

[0084] In this embodiment, at least one of the first electrode plates 21 and the second electrode plate 22 is provided with a through hole 26 extending in the first direction, so that the liquid in the chamber 11 can diffuse between the electrode plate and the proton exchange membrane 25, so that the electrolysis reaction can continue and carry away the electrolysis products, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency.

[0085] Specifically, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, at least one of the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 is provided with a through hole 26 extending along the first direction. This can be understood as: the first electrode sheet 21 is provided with a through hole 26, or the second electrode sheet 22 is provided with a through hole 26, or both the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 are provided with a through hole 26.

[0086] Optionally, there may be one or more connecting holes 26, for example, there may be three connecting holes 26.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the electrolysis assembly 2 also includes a first insulating pad 271 and a second insulating pad 272. The first insulating pad 271 is disposed between the first connector 23 and the second electrode plate 22 to electrically isolate the first connector 23 and the second electrode plate 22. The second insulating pad 272 is disposed between the second connector 24 and the first electrode plate 21 to electrically isolate the second connector 24 and the first electrode plate 21.

[0088] In this embodiment, by providing a first insulating gasket 271 between the first connector 23 and the second electrode plate 22, electrical isolation between the first connector 23 and the second electrode plate 22 is achieved, so that the first connector 23 is only electrically connected to the first electrode plate 21. By providing a second insulating gasket 272 between the second connector 24 and the first electrode plate 21, the second connector 24 is only electrically connected to the second electrode plate 22. This achieves electrical connection between the first connector 23 and the first electrode plate 21, and between the second connector 24 and the second electrode plate 22, ensuring the normal progress of the electrolysis reaction.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the electrolysis assembly 2 also includes a first conductive pad 273 and a second conductive pad 274. The first conductive pad 273 is arranged around the first connector 23 and stacked with the first electrode sheet 21, and the second conductive pad 274 is arranged around the second connector 24 and stacked with the second electrode sheet 22. By providing the first conductive pad 273 and the second conductive pad 274, the contact area between the first connector 23 and the first electrode sheet 21 and the contact area between the second connector 24 and the second electrode sheet 22 are increased, thereby improving the conductivity efficiency between the first connector 23 and the first electrode sheet 21 and the second connector 24 and the second electrode sheet 22.

[0090] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 2 further includes a first conductive end plate 281, which is disposed on the side of the first electrode sheet 21 away from the second electrode sheet 22 and is electrically connected to the first electrode sheet 21 and the first connector 23.

[0091] In this embodiment, by providing a first conductive end plate 281 on the side of the first electrode plate 21 away from the second electrode plate 22, the first conductive end plate 281 can evenly distribute the current to the first electrode plate 21, avoiding local overload. Moreover, the first conductive end plate 281 can disperse stress and provide protection for the first electrode plate 21.

[0092] Optionally, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the first conductive end plate 281 is located to the right of the first electrode plate 21 and is attached to the first electrode plate 21. A low-resistance busbar is formed between the first conductive end plate 281 and the first electrode plate 21, which helps to reduce resistance. For example, the first conductive end plate 281 is a titanium plate. The high conductivity of titanium plates can improve conductivity efficiency.

[0093] Optionally, the first conductive end plate 281 is provided with a first connecting groove 2811 corresponding to the connecting hole 26 to ensure that the liquid in the chamber 11 can diffuse between the first electrode plate 21 and the proton membrane 25.

[0094] In some embodiments, the electrolysis assembly 2 further includes a second conductive end plate 282, which is disposed on the side of the second electrode sheet 22 away from the first electrode sheet 21 and is electrically connected to the second electrode sheet 22 and the second connector 24.

[0095] In this embodiment, by providing a second conductive end plate 282 on the side of the second electrode plate 22 away from the first electrode plate 21, the second conductive end plate 282 can evenly distribute the current to the second electrode plate 22, avoiding local overload. Moreover, the second conductive end plate 282 can disperse stress and provide protection for the second electrode plate 22.

[0096] Optionally, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the second conductive end plate 282 is located to the right of the second electrode plate 22 and is attached to the second electrode plate 22. A low-resistance busbar is formed between the second conductive end plate 282 and the second electrode plate 22 to reduce resistance. For example, the second conductive end plate 282 is a titanium plate. The high conductivity of titanium plates can improve conductivity efficiency.

[0097] Optionally, the second conductive end plate 282 is provided with a second connecting groove 2821 corresponding to the connecting hole 26, to ensure that the liquid in the chamber 11 can diffuse between the second electrode plate 22 and the proton membrane 25.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-5As shown, the first connector 23 and the second connector 24 are bolts. The electrolysis assembly 2 also includes a first nut 291 and a second nut 292. The first nut 291 is fitted around the outer periphery of the first connector 23 to press the first conductive pad 273 onto the first conductive end plate 281. The second nut 292 is fitted around the outer periphery of the second connector 24 to press the second insulating pad 272 onto the first conductive end plate 281.

[0099] In this embodiment, the threaded engagement between the first nut 291 and the first connector 23 achieves a tight connection between the first conductive gasket 273, the first conductive end plate 281, the first electrode plate 21, the proton exchange membrane 25, the second electrode plate 22, the second conductive end plate 282, and the first insulating gasket 271. The threaded engagement between the second nut 292 and the second connector 24 achieves a tight connection between the second insulating gasket 272, the first conductive end plate 281, the first electrode plate 21, the proton exchange membrane 25, the second electrode plate 22, the second conductive end plate 282, and the second conductive gasket 274, preventing misalignment under the impact of liquid and improving the structural stability of the electrolysis assembly 2.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, both the first insulating gasket 271 and the second insulating gasket 272 include an end plate 275 and an annular portion 276. The annular portion 276 is connected to the end plate 275. The end plate 275 of the first insulating gasket 271 abuts between the head of the first connector 23 and the second conductive end plate 282. The annular portion 276 of the first insulating gasket 271 surrounds the first connector 23 and extends through the second conductive end plate 282 into the second electrode plate 22. The end plate 275 of the second insulating gasket 272 abuts between the second nut 292 and the first conductive end plate 281. The annular portion 276 of the second insulating gasket 272 surrounds the second connector 24 and extends through the first conductive end plate 281 into the first electrode plate 21.

[0101] In this embodiment, the end plate 275 of the first insulating pad 271 abuts against the head of the first connector 23 and the second conductive end plate 282 to electrically isolate the head of the first connector 23 from the second conductive end plate 282 in a first direction. The annular portion 276 of the first insulating pad 271 surrounds the first connector 23 and extends through the second conductive end plate 282 into the second electrode plate 22 to electrically isolate the first connector 23 from the second conductive end plate 282 and from the second electrode plate 22 in a radial direction, thereby achieving complete electrical isolation between the first connector 23 and the second electrode plate 22. By abutting the end plate 275 of the second insulating gasket 272 between the second nut 292 and the first conductive end plate 281, the second nut 292 and the first conductive end plate 281 are electrically isolated in the first direction. By surrounding the second connector 24 and extending through the first conductive end plate 281 into the first electrode plate 21 with the annular portion 276 of the second insulating gasket 272, the second connector 24 and the first conductive end plate 281 are electrically isolated in the radial direction of the second connector 24, as well as the second connector 24 and the first electrode plate 21, thus achieving complete electrical isolation between the second connector 24 and the first electrode plate 21.

[0102] Specifically, the dimension of the end plate 275 in the left-right direction is larger than that of the conductive pad in the left-right direction to ensure the insulation effect of the insulating pad. The annular portion 276 of the first insulating pad 271 passes through the second conductive end plate 282 from left to right and extends into the second electrode plate 22. The annular portion 276 of the second insulating pad 272 passes through the first conductive end plate 281 from right to left and extends into the first electrode plate 21.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first connector 23 is sequentially disposed through the first insulating pad 271, the second conductive end plate 282, the second electrode plate 22, the proton exchange membrane 25, the first electrode plate 21, the first conductive end plate 281, the first conductive pad 273, and the first nut 291, and the second connector 24 is sequentially disposed through the second conductive pad 274, the second conductive end plate 282, the second electrode plate 22, the proton exchange membrane 25, the first electrode plate 21, the first conductive end plate 281, the second insulating pad 272, and the second nut 292.

[0104] In this embodiment, the first connector 23 and the first nut 291 enable the first insulating gasket 271, the second conductive end plate 282, the second electrode plate 22, the proton membrane 25, the first electrode plate 21, the first conductive end plate 281, and the first conductive gasket 273 to form an integral structure. The second connector 24 and the second nut 292 enable the second conductive gasket 274, the second conductive end plate 282, the second electrode plate 22, the proton membrane 25, the first electrode plate 21, the first conductive end plate 281, and the second insulating gasket 272 to form an integral structure, which helps to improve the structural strength of the electrolysis assembly 2.

[0105] Specifically, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the first connector 23 is sequentially inserted from left to right through the first insulating gasket 271, the second conductive end plate 282, the second electrode plate 22, the proton exchange membrane 25, the first electrode plate 21, the first conductive end plate 281, the first conductive gasket 273, and the first nut 291, with the head of the first connector 23 abutting against the first insulating gasket 271. The second connector 24 is sequentially inserted from left to right through the second conductive gasket 274, the second conductive end plate 282, the second electrode plate 22, the proton exchange membrane 25, the first electrode plate 21, the first conductive end plate 281, the second insulating gasket 272, and the second nut 292, with the head of the second connector 24 abutting against the second conductive gasket 274.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 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 21 facing the second electrode sheet 22 and the surface away from the second electrode sheet 22, or the coating is disposed only on the surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 21 facing the second electrode sheet 22.

[0107] In this embodiment, a coating is provided on both the surface of the first electrode sheet 21 facing the second electrode sheet 22 and the surface away from the second electrode sheet 22, or a coating is provided only on the surface of the first electrode sheet 21 facing the second electrode sheet 22. The coating reduces the charge transfer impedance and avoids substrate exposure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly 2.

[0108] Optionally, the left surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 21 is provided with a coating. Since the right surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 21 is covered by the first conductive end plate 281 and has no contact with the outside world, the right surface of the substrate of the first electrode sheet 21 does not need to be provided with a coating, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0109] Optionally, the substrate of the first electrode sheet 21 is a silicon substrate, and the coating of the first electrode sheet 21 is a diamond coating.

[0110] In some embodiments, the substrate of the second electrode sheet 22 is coated on both the surface facing the first electrode sheet 21 and the surface away from the first electrode sheet 21, or the substrate of the second electrode sheet 22 is coated only on the surface facing the first electrode sheet 21.

[0111] In this embodiment, a coating is provided on both the surface of the second electrode sheet 22 facing the first electrode sheet 21 and the surface away from the first electrode sheet 21, or a coating is provided only on the surface of the second electrode sheet 22 facing the first electrode sheet 21. The coating reduces charge transfer resistance and avoids substrate exposure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electrolysis assembly 2.

[0112] Optionally, the right surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 22 is provided with a coating. Since the left surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 22 is covered by the second conductive end plate 282 and has no contact with the outside world, the left surface of the substrate of the second electrode sheet 22 does not need to be provided with a coating, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs.

[0113] Optionally, the substrate of the second electrode 22 is a silicon substrate, and the coating of the second electrode 22 is a diamond coating.

[0114] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 6 The garment processing device of this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0115] The garment processing apparatus of this disclosure includes a housing 10, a processing cylinder 20, and a nozzle device 30. The processing cylinder 20 is disposed within the housing 10 and has a processing chamber 210. The nozzle device 30 includes a nozzle device 30 employing any of the above embodiments and is disposed within the processing cylinder 20, with the outlet 13 of the nozzle device 30 communicating with the processing chamber 210.

[0116] In this embodiment, the clothing processing device is connected to the processing chamber 210 through the outlet 13 of the nozzle device 30. This allows the liquid electrolyzed by the electrolysis component 2 inside the nozzle device 30 to flow into the processing chamber 210 through the outlet 13 of the nozzle device 30. Since the electrolysis component 2 is located inside the nozzle device 30, that is, upstream of the processing chamber 210, the electrolysis component 2 can electrolyze the liquid before it enters the processing chamber 210, achieving flow-through electrolysis. This also prevents lint from the clothing from adhering to the electrolysis component 2, thereby improving the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis component 2.

[0117] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the nozzle device 30 is located above the processing chamber 210.

[0118] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a water valve 40, which is disposed in the housing 10 and is connected to the inlet 12 of the nozzle device 30.

[0119] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the water valve 40 is located on the inner rear wall of the housing 10 and is used to connect with the water source. The water valve 40 is connected to the inlet 12 of the nozzle device 30, which facilitates the supply of water to the nozzle device 30, thereby facilitating the electrolysis component 2 to electrolyze the liquid.

[0120] In some embodiments, the garment processing apparatus further includes a detergent dispenser disposed in the housing 10 and having a detergent chamber. A water valve 40 is connected to a first inlet 121 of the spray head device 30, and the detergent chamber is connected to a second inlet 122 of the spray head device 30. This improves the flow efficiency of the liquid entering the spray head device 30 through the first inlet 121.

[0121] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first inlet 121 is directly connected to the water valve 40 through the water inlet pipe 50, which facilitates the direct entry of liquid from the water valve 40 into the chamber 11 through the first inlet 121, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the liquid. The second inlet 122 is connected to the detergent chamber, which facilitates the entry of the detergent and water mixture into the chamber 11. The detergent chamber is connected to the treatment chamber 210 through the nozzle device 30.
