The entire contents of the above two Chinese patent applications are hereby introduced into this application as a reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of clothing washing and care, and in particular to a nozzle device and clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0004] In the related art, the clothing processing equipment is equipped with an electrolysis device at the bottom of the barrel, which electrolyzes water, thereby sterilizing and disinfecting the water entering the clothing through the electrolyzed water; since the electrolysis device is set at the bottom of the barrel, impurities such as dander and hair in the washing water are easily attached to the surface of the electrode, affecting the electrolysis effect of the electrode, and even causing the actual service life of the electrode device to be far less than the designed service life; in addition, the location at the bottom of the barrel is neither convenient for installation nor maintenance.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0054] The specific technical features described in the specific embodiments may be combined in any suitable manner, unless they are inconsistent. For example, different embodiments and technical solutions may be formed by combining different specific technical features. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the present invention will not be described separately.

It should be understood that the directions "above," "below," "outside," and "inside" refer to directions during normal use. The directions "left" and "right" refer to the left-right directions shown in the corresponding schematic diagrams, which may or may not be the left-right directions during normal use.

[0056] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising that element. "A plurality" means greater than or equal to two.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides a nozzle body device, which is used for a washing device. The washing device can be a clothing processing device, and can also be used for a dishwasher, a fruit and vegetable cleaning machine, etc.

[0058] The embodiments of the present application are described by taking the application of the nozzle body device to a clothing processing device as an example.

[0059] The clothes processing device may be a pulsator washing machine, and the nozzle body may be the nozzle body used in the pulsator washing machine. Of course, the clothes processing device may also be a drum washing machine, and the nozzle body may be the nozzle and / or water outlet device used in the drum washing machine.

[0060] An embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device, including a housing, a barrel assembly, a water supply pipeline, and a nozzle body device according to any embodiment of the present application.

[0061] The barrel assembly has a clothes processing chamber and is arranged in the box.

[0062] The water supply pipeline supplies water to the nozzle body device, and the nozzle body device guides the water flow to the clothes processing chamber to fill the clothes processing chamber with water.

[0063] Exemplarily, the drum assembly includes an inner drum and an outer tub. The inner drum is disposed within the outer tub, and the space within the inner drum defines the aforementioned laundry treatment chamber. The inner drum can be either perforated or non-perforated. A perforated inner drum relies on the outer tub for water; a non-perforated inner drum relies on the inner drum itself for water. In other words, the inner drum can hold both water and laundry, and during the washing process, water in the inner drum does not enter the outer tub. In some embodiments, the drum assembly may consist of only the inner drum, without the outer tub. In this case, the inner drum is non-perforated.

[0064] The showerhead assembly includes a showerhead body 2 (see FIG7 and FIG9 ) and an electrolytic assembly 1 (see FIG12 ). In other embodiments, the electrolytic assembly 1 may also be referred to as an electrolytic device.

[0065] The nozzle body 2 has a water inlet 2a (see Figure 5 ), a water outlet 2b (see Figures 3 and 4 ), and a flow channel. The flow channel connects the water inlet 2a and the water outlet 2b, with the water outlet 2b used to discharge water into the laundry treatment chamber of the laundry treatment device. Specifically, a water supply line is connected to the water inlet 2a and is used to introduce water from an external source into the nozzle body 2. For example, one end of the water supply line is connected to a tap water pipe, and the other end is connected to the water inlet 2a.

[0066] It is understandable that a water inlet valve may be provided on the water supply pipeline, or a water inlet valve may be provided at the water inlet 2a, so as to control the on-off of the water flow through the water inlet valve.

[0067] The electrolysis assembly 1 includes a cathode 12 and an anode 11, which are disposed within the flow channel and are used to electrolyze the water flowing through the flow channel. Specifically, the electrolysis assembly 1 lacks an additional housing, with the cathode 12 and anode 11 exposed directly within the flow channel of the nozzle body 2. The laundry treatment apparatus can simultaneously electrolyze the water while injecting water into the laundry treatment chamber, resulting in electrolyzed water, achieving overflow electrolysis.

[0068] In the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present application, the electrolysis component 1 can be started during the water injection process. The electrolysis component 1 can use the oxygen in the water to produce ozone water during the water electrolysis process. Since this electrolysis process activates the oxygen in the water, the oxygen in the water is inexhaustible, so the efficiency of ozone generation is relatively high. Ozone has a bactericidal effect, and ozone can exist in water for a period of time. Therefore, the ozone generated by electrolysis of water can sterilize or inhibit bacteria on clothing or clothing treatment equipment; in addition, the electrolysis process can also produce hydroxyl radicals (·OH) with strong oxidizing activity. ·OH has an extremely high oxidation potential (2.80eV) and extremely strong oxidizing ability. It can undergo rapid chain reactions with most organic pollutants. ·OH can sterilize and disinfect at low temperatures without damaging clothing. A part of ·OH reacts with chlorine water in tap water to generate active chlorine. Active chlorine can exist for a long time and has a long-term antibacterial effect. Multiple antibacterial molecules exist simultaneously in the electrolyzed water to achieve multiple antibacterial effects. During the electrolysis process, electrolytic component 1 generates a large amount of ozone, which oxidizes and destroys the chromophores of dye molecules released into the water from colored clothing during the wash process, discoloring the dye and preventing the free dye from transferring to light-colored clothing and causing color bleeding. The reaction then continues, breaking down the dye molecules into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts. The resulting hydroxyl radicals can also decompose dye molecules on the electrode surface (or near the electrolysis device), further preventing color bleeding. Simultaneously, the electrode generates a large number of hydrogen microbubbles. Because the microbubbles are very small, typically less than 50 μm in diameter, they can penetrate the interior of clothing fibers well during the wash process. Through the bursting and adsorption of the microbubbles, a continuous flow of microbubbles is generated, circulating and flushing the fabric, assisting the detergent in thoroughly removing sebum, grease, fine dust, and other impurities accumulated within the clothing fibers, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0069] The nozzle body device of the embodiment of the present application sets the electrolytic component 1 in the flow channel of the nozzle body 2, which can fully utilize the space of the nozzle body 2 and does not require an additional shell for the electrolytic component 1, resulting in a compact structure. In addition, the nozzle body 2 is set above the barrel assembly, which is convenient for installation and maintenance operations.

[0070] In addition, since the electrolytic component 1 does not need to contact the washing water in the clothes processing chamber, debris such as lint and hair will not adhere to the electrolytic component 1, which can increase the service life of the electrolytic component 1.

[0071] During the water injection process, the nozzle body experiences a high water flow rate, which strongly flushes the electrolytic component 1, reducing the chance of scale adhering to the surface of the electrolytic component 1. The water flow promptly flushes the microbubbles generated on the surface of the electrolytic component 1, preventing them from aggregating and growing. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also helps inhibit the formation of scale. Therefore, the nozzle body device of the present embodiment can effectively reduce scaling on the surface of the electrolytic component 1 and extend the service life of the electrolytic component 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the user takes the clothes in the clothing treatment chamber from above the clothing treatment chamber. The clothing treatment device may be a pulsator washing machine. The clothing treatment device includes a workbench, which is arranged at the top of the housing. The top side of the clothing treatment chamber has an opening. The workbench is provided with a clothing loading port, which is located above the clothing treatment chamber. The user can take the clothes in and out through the clothing loading port. The nozzle body 2 is arranged on the workbench, and the water outlet 2b of the nozzle body 2 is suitable for introducing water directly from the opening into the clothing treatment chamber. In other words, the water coming out of the water outlet 2b of the nozzle body 2 flows directly from the opening to the clothing treatment chamber below.

[0073] In other embodiments, the laundry processing apparatus may be a drum-type laundry processing apparatus, comprising a housing, with a nozzle body 2 disposed between the housing and a drum assembly. The water outlet of the nozzle body 2 communicates with the drum assembly. Water flowing from the water outlet 2b of the nozzle body 2 can be sprayed through the nozzle to flush the door glass of the laundry processing apparatus or directly into the drum assembly.

[0074] Exemplarily, the flow channel includes a water inlet channel, that is, the water inlet channel is a part of the flow channel, and external water flows into the water inlet channel through the water inlet 2a.

[0075] Referring to Figures 3 and 19 , the electrolysis device includes multiple electrode sheets 1′. It should be noted that the multiple electrode sheets 1′ are divided into cathode sheets and anode sheets. The number of cathode sheets can be multiple or one. The number of anode sheets can be one or multiple. In other words, one or more electrode sheets 1′ constitute at least a portion of the cathode 12, and another or more electrode sheets 1′ constitute at least a portion of the anode 11.

[0076] 17 and 18 , a plurality of slots 22 a are provided on the inner wall of the water inlet channel, that is, the slots 22 a are exposed in the water inlet channel.

[0077] A portion of the electrode sheet 1' is inserted into the corresponding slot 22a. Two adjacent slots 22a can achieve spacing between the two adjacent electrode sheets 1', reducing the probability of contact between the two adjacent electrode sheets 1'. The slots 22a also play a positioning role for the electrode sheets 1'.

[0078] In the nozzle body device of the embodiment of the present application, during the assembly process, the operator inserts the electrode sheet 1′ into the slot 22a to achieve the positioning of the electrode sheet 1′, reduce the probability of the electrode sheet 1′ deflecting in the water inlet channel, and improve the reliability of the electrode sheet 1′. The operation 22a is simple and convenient.

[0079] In the nozzle body device of the present embodiment, during the water injection process, the nozzle body 2 generates a high water flow rate, which flushes the surface of the electrode sheet 1′, reducing the chance of scale adhering to the surface of the electrode sheet 1′. The water flow promptly flushes the microbubbles generated on the surface of the electrode sheet 1′, preventing the microbubbles from aggregating and growing. This improves the washing effect and helps inhibit the formation of scale. Therefore, the nozzle body device of the present embodiment can effectively reduce scaling on the surface of the electrode sheet 1′ and extend the service life of the electrode sheet 1′.

[0080] The showerhead device of the present embodiment places the electrode sheet 1' within the water inlet passage of the showerhead body 2, fully utilizing the space of the showerhead body 2 and eliminating the need for an additional housing for the electrode sheet 1', resulting in a compact structure. Water is simultaneously electrolyzed while being injected into the laundry treatment chamber, resulting in electrolyzed water and achieving overflow electrolysis.

[0081] Illustratively, the electrode sheet 1 ′ may be in a plate structure or a mesh structure.

[0082] Exemplarily, a plurality of electrode sheets 1' are stacked, wherein the stacking arrangement means that the plates are facing each other and arranged roughly in parallel. On the one hand, it has a larger electrolysis area and can improve the electrolysis efficiency. On the other hand, it can occupy a relatively small installation space and has a compact structure.

[0083] In embodiments where there are multiple cathode sheets, the multiple cathode sheets are electrically connected, have the same potential, and collectively constitute a cathode. It should be noted that the multiple cathode sheets can be electrically connected by connecting the cathode sheets together using metal screws or the like, or by inserting each cathode sheet into its corresponding slot 22 a and electrically connecting the cathode sheets through pre-embedded conductive contacts in each slot 22 a, thereby achieving the same potential for each cathode sheet.

[0084] In embodiments where there are multiple anode sheets, the multiple anode sheets are electrically connected to each other and have the same potential, collectively forming an anode. It should be noted that the multiple anode sheets can be electrically connected by connecting the anode sheets together using metal screws or the like, or by inserting each anode sheet into its corresponding slot 22 a and electrically connecting the individual anode sheets through pre-embedded conductive contacts in each slot 22 a, thereby achieving the same potential for each anode sheet.

[0085] The number of cathode sheets and the number of anode sheets may be the same or different.

[0086] In some embodiments, the number of cathode sheets exceeds the number of anode sheets by one, i.e., the number of cathode sheets is different from the number of anode sheets, and the anode sheets and the anode sheets are arranged alternately along the stacking direction, with one anode sheet arranged between two adjacent cathode sheets. In this way, the cathode sheet is arranged on the outermost sides along the stacking direction. For example, there are two cathode sheets and one anode sheet, and the anode sheet is positioned between the two cathode sheets. For another example, there are three cathode sheets and two anode sheets, and one anode sheet is positioned between the two cathode sheets.

[0087] In this embodiment, the surfaces on both sides of the anode plate can participate in electrolysis, and the catalyst material on the surface of the anode plate is fully utilized, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and saving costs.

[0088] The position of the slot 22a on the inner wall of the water inlet channel is not limited, for example, it can be the top, bottom, or inner wall of one lateral side of the water inlet channel.

[0089] Exemplarily, a plurality of slots 22a are provided at the top and / or bottom of the water inlet channel, and a plurality of electrode sheets 1′ are provided in the slots 22a. In this embodiment, the electrode sheets 1′ are conveniently arranged along the height direction of the nozzle body 2, and the top and / or bottom ends of the electrode sheets 1′ are conveniently positioned.

[0090] The shape of the slot 22a is not limited as long as it is convenient for the electrode sheet 1' to be inserted.

[0091] Exemplarily, the shape of the slot 22a is adapted to the shape of the end of the electrode sheet 1′, and the size of the slot 22a is adapted to the size of the bottom end of the electrode sheet 1′. When the bottom end of the electrode sheet 1′ is inserted into the slot 22a, the slot 22a is almost occupied by the electrode sheet 1′, and there is less excess space.

[0092] For example, in some embodiments, the slot 22a is in the shape of a narrow and long slit.

[0093] The depth of the slot 22a is not limited as long as it is convenient for the electrode sheet 1' to be inserted therein.

[0094] For example, the depth of the slot 22a does not exceed 3 mm. This reduces the wall thickness requirement for the water inlet channel and reduces the insertion depth of the electrode sheet 1' in the slot 22a, so that the electrode sheet 1' has more surface area to participate in electrolysis.

[0095] It should be noted that the extending direction of the slot 22 a is adapted to the arrangement position of the electrode sheet 1 ′.

[0096] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 19, the plate surface of the electrode sheet 1' is arranged along the direction of water flow, and multiple electrode sheets 1' are arranged at intervals roughly perpendicular to the direction of water flow, that is, a single slot 22a extends along the water flow direction of the water inlet channel, and multiple slots 22a are arranged at intervals roughly perpendicular to the direction of water flow. In this way, the side edge of one side of the periphery of the electrode sheet 1' faces the water inlet side of the water inlet channel. In this embodiment, the side edge of the electrode sheet 1' faces the water inlet side of the flow channel, and the electrode sheet 1' has less obstruction to the water flow. The water flows along the plate surfaces on both sides of the electrode sheet 1', and along the direction of water flow, the water flow and the electrode sheet 1' have a longer contact time, which can be electrolyzed more fully and improve the electrolysis efficiency.

[0097] In some embodiments, the plate surface of the electrode sheet 1′ faces the water inlet 2a, and each electrode sheet 1′ is arranged at intervals along the water flow direction, that is, a single slot 22a extends roughly along the water flow direction perpendicular to the water inlet channel, and multiple slots 22a are arranged at intervals roughly along the water flow direction.

[0098] For example, referring to Figures 17 and 18, in some embodiments, the slot 22a is arranged at the bottom of the water inlet channel, and the end of the slot 22a along the water flow direction has an opening 211b. The residual water in the slot 22a can be discharged through the opening 211b, thereby reducing the corrosion probability of the conductive contact part.

[0099] For example, referring to FIG. 18 , in some embodiments, a portion of the bottom of the water inlet channel is provided with an upwardly projecting protrusion 2112, and the slot 22a is provided on the protrusion 2112. In this embodiment, the protrusion 2112 is positioned higher than the rest of the bottom of the water inlet channel, which is equivalent to a partially elevated design of the bottom of the water inlet channel. This, on the one hand, facilitates forming a height difference between the bottom of the slot 22a and the rest of the bottom of the water inlet channel, reducing the possibility of water accumulation in the slot 22a. On the other hand, the wall thickness of the portion where the protrusion 2112 is located can be thickened, facilitating the provision of a conductive contact portion in the slot 22a.

[0100] In other embodiments, the bottom of the water inlet channel may not be provided with the slot 22a. The bottom of the water inlet channel may be a smooth surface.

[0101] For example, please refer to Figures 5, 6, 17 and 19. The nozzle body 2 includes a spacing rib 2111. The spacing rib 2111 divides a portion of the flow channel into a drainage area 2c and a water diversion area. The drainage area 2c is part of the flow channel, and the water diversion area is also part of the flow channel. The drainage area 2c is located upstream of the water diversion area, that is, the water flows through the drainage area 2c first and then flows through the water diversion area. The water inlet 2a is provided at one end of the drainage area 2c, and the drainage area 2c is suitable for guiding water from the water inlet to the water diversion area. The water diversion area is provided with at least one water spray hole, and the water in the water diversion area flows out of the water diversion area through the water spray hole.

[0102] It should be noted that the drainage area 2c can also be called a water inlet channel.

[0103] The electrolytic component 1 is arranged in the drainage area 2c, that is, the electrolytic component 1 is arranged in the water inlet channel.

[0104] In this embodiment, the water flowing into the water-dividing area can be electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly 1 , so that the content of electrolytic active substances in the water in various parts of the water-dividing area is relatively uniform.

[0105] Exemplarily, the spacing rib 2111 extends along the first direction, and the drainage area 2c and the water diversion area are located on opposite sides of the spacing rib 2111. For example, the water diversion area is located on the front side of the spacing rib 2111 as shown in FIG6 , and the drainage area 2c is located on the rear side of the spacing rib 2111 as shown in FIG6 .

[0106] For example, referring to Figures 5 and 6, a communication port 2h is formed between the drainage area 2c and the water diversion area. The communication port 2h is the junction of the drainage area 2c and the water diversion area. Water in the drainage area 2c is guided to the water diversion area through the communication port 2h.

[0107] In the embodiment where the electrolytic component 1 is disposed in the drainage area 2c, the location of the electrolytic component 1 in the drainage area 2c is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 and 8, the electrolytic component 1 is disposed upstream of the drainage area 2c and close to the water inlet 2a.

[0108] In other embodiments, see FIG11 , the electrolytic component 1 is disposed downstream of the drainage area 2c and upstream of the communication port 2h. In other words, the electrolytic component 1 is disposed as close to the communication port 2h as possible.

[0109] This is to shorten the flow path of the electrolytic active substance from the electrolytic component to the barrel as much as possible, reduce the loss of the electrolytic active substance during the flow process, and improve the sterilization efficiency of the active substance.

[0110] For example, referring to Figure 3 , the flow channel includes a mixing chamber 2f, which is located downstream of the drainage area 2c along the water flow direction. Specifically, the mixing chamber 2f is located downstream of the water inlet channel along the water flow direction. In other words, water flows through the drainage area 2c first, then through the mixing chamber 2f. Specifically, the water diversion area is located above the mixing chamber 2f.

[0111] Exemplarily, the watershed includes multiple spray areas 2d, each of which is provided with multiple spray holes 2e. At least some of the spray holes 2e within a single spray area 2d are arranged along the second direction. Each spray area 2d is spaced apart along the first direction from the connecting opening 2h toward the water inlet 2a. The second direction intersects the extension direction of the spacing ribs 2111, meaning the first and second directions intersect, for example, perpendicularly. It should be noted that the spray area 2d can be an area enclosed by several retaining ribs on the same surface to facilitate localized water flow.

[0112] The water electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly 1 enters the mixing chamber 2f from the water spray hole 2e.

[0113] The water holes 2e are used to spray water into the mixing chamber 2f below. The water distribution area can disperse the water flow to the mixing chamber 2f below as much as possible, similar to the water discharge effect of a shower head, which can improve the water flow's effect on the detergent and promote the dissolution of the detergent.

[0114] Exemplarily, the laundry processing device includes a detergent box for containing detergent. The detergent can be of any type, for example, granular substances such as washing powder, fluid substances such as washing machine, softener, disinfectant, or laundry beads.

[0115] The mixing chamber 2f is used to receive detergent and electrolyzed water, and guide the mixture of water and detergent to the water outlet 2b. The detergent and water are mixed in the mixing chamber 2f, and the mixed solution flows from the water outlet 2b to the clothing processing chamber. In some embodiments, since the electrolytic component 1 is located upstream of the mixing chamber 2f, the electrolytic component 1 will not come into contact with the detergent, thereby avoiding the presence of detergent during the operation of the electrolytic component, resulting in an increase in current and accelerating the scaling process, greatly improving the working environment of the electrolytic component 1 and increasing the service life of the electrolytic component 1.

[0116] 3 , the edge of the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 2f forms a water outlet 2b. Specifically, water flows along the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 2f and flows out from the edge, and then flows to the clothes processing chamber below.

[0117] Exemplarily, the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 2f is inclined downward toward the water outlet 2b, which can achieve a better diversion effect and prevent water from accumulating in the mixing chamber 2f.

[0118] There is no limitation on the method of adding detergent to the mixing chamber 2f.

[0119] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , a drawer opening 2k is provided on one side of the mixing chamber 2f. The mixing chamber 2f is configured to retractably accommodate a detergent box. In other words, the detergent box is retractably disposed within the mixing chamber 2f, and the water flow in the flow channel at least partially flows through the detergent box, carrying the detergent in the detergent box toward the bottom surface of the mixing chamber 2f. In this embodiment, the detergent is manually dispensed.

[0120] When detergent needs to be added, the detergent box is pulled out from the drawer opening 2k, detergent is added to the detergent box, and then the detergent box is pushed into the mixing chamber 2f.

[0121] In some embodiments, the drawer opening 2k is connected to the clothing loading port of the workbench, and the detergent box is pulled out from the drawer opening 2k and inserted into the clothing loading port, making it convenient for the user to add detergent.

[0122] The specific structure of the nozzle body 2 is not limited.

[0123] For example, referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 7 , and FIG. 9 , the nozzle body 2 includes a bottom shell 21 and a top cover 22 , and the top cover 22 is disposed on the top side of the bottom shell 21 .

[0124] The connection method between the bottom shell 21 and the top cover 22 is not limited, and can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection. For example, it can be ultrasonic welding, laser welding, screw connection, bonding, riveting, etc.

[0125] For example, referring to FIG3 , the bottom housing 21 includes a top wall 211, a bottom wall 212, and side walls 213. The top wall 211 is located on top of the bottom wall 212, and the side walls 213 connect the top and bottom walls 212. The side walls 213, the top wall 211, and the bottom wall 212 define a mixing chamber 2f. For example, the top wall 211 and the bottom wall 212 may be generally plate-shaped, and the top cover 22 may also be generally plate-shaped. The top cover 22 is disposed above the top wall 211.

[0126] The drainage area 2 c and the water separation area are located on the top surface of the top wall 211 , that is, the drainage area 2 c and the water separation area are located on the side of the top wall 211 facing the top cover 22 .

[0127] The nozzle body 2 of the present embodiment has at least two layers of space along its height: a lower layer, which is a mixing chamber 2f formed between the top wall 211 and the bottom wall 212, and an upper layer, which is formed between the top wall 211 and the top cover 22. Water flows from the water diversion area in the upper layer to the mixing chamber 2f in the lower layer, creating a certain drop in height. This effectively flushes the detergent and improves its dissolution.

[0128] The electrolytic assembly 1 is disposed on the top side of the top wall 211. The electrolytic assembly 1 does not extend into the mixing chamber 2f. Specifically, the electrode sheet 1' is disposed on the top side of the top wall 211. The electrode sheet 1' does not extend into the mixing chamber 2f. Therefore, the electrolytic assembly 1 does not come into contact with the detergent, and furthermore, the detergent is not affected.

[0129] In some embodiments, the drainage area 2 c may be formed by providing a plurality of rib-like structures on the top surface of the top wall 211 , and the plurality of rib-like structures enclose the drainage area 2 c on the top surface of the top wall 211 .

[0130] In some embodiments, the water divide area may be formed by providing a plurality of rib-like structures on the top surface of the top wall 211 , and the plurality of rib-like structures enclose the water divide area on the top surface of the top wall 211 .

[0131] Referring to Figures 4, 5, 8, and 10, there are multiple interconnected spraying areas 2d. Each water diversion area is provided with multiple spray holes 2e. Water flowing out of the drainage area 2c can flow to any of the spraying areas 2d. It should be noted that water flowing out of the drainage area 2c does not flow to areas other than the spraying area 2d.

[0132] The drainage area 2c extends substantially along the left-right direction of Figure 6 , and water flows in the drainage area 2c substantially along the right-to-left direction of Figure 6 .

[0133] Water from the water supply pipe enters the drainage area 2c through the water inlet 2a, flows from right to left in the drainage area 2c, then flows to the water diversion area on the front side, and is sprinkled to the mixing chamber 2f below through the water spray hole 2e. The detergent and water are mixed in the mixing chamber 2f and flow from the water outlet 2b to the clothing processing chamber.

[0134] The water inlet 2a is provided on a side wall of the water inlet channel along a first direction, for example, on the right side wall along the left-right direction of Figure 1. The first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the nozzle body are perpendicular to each other.

[0135] The second direction is consistent with the front-back direction, the first direction is consistent with the left-right direction, and the height direction is consistent with the up-down direction.

[0136] The water inlet channel extends substantially in the left-right direction of FIG. 6 , and water flows substantially in the right-to-left direction of FIG. 6 in the water inlet channel.

[0137] Water from the water supply pipe enters the water inlet channel through the water inlet 2a, flows from right to left in the water inlet channel, then flows to the spraying area 2d on the front side, and is sprinkled to the mixing chamber 2f below through the water hole 2e. The detergent and water are mixed in the mixing chamber 2f and flow from the water outlet 2b to the clothing processing chamber.

[0138] For example, referring to Figures 17 and 18, the bottom side of the top cover 22 is provided with multiple slots 22a, that is, the side of the top cover 22 facing the bottom shell 21 is provided with multiple slots 22a. The top end of the electrode sheet 1' is inserted into the corresponding slot 22a. In this embodiment, the top cover 22 is used to position the electrode sheet 1', and the 22a can quickly complete the installation of the electrode sheet 1' during assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0139] Exemplarily, the electrolysis device includes two terminals 1", which are connected to corresponding electrode sheets 1'. It should be noted that the cathode is connected to a terminal 1", which is used to connect to the negative pole of the power supply. The anode is connected to a terminal 1", which is used to connect to the positive pole of the power supply.

[0140] The terminal blocks 1" pass through the top cover 22 and extend to the top side of the top cover 22. In this embodiment, the top cover 22 is used to directly or indirectly fix the two terminal blocks 1", which can fix the electrode sheet 1'. In addition, it also facilitates the operator's wiring operations during the installation process. In addition, the connection between the two terminal blocks 1" and the top cover 22 is located above the water inlet channel and will not be soaked by water. Therefore, the sealing requirements for the connection can be reduced, and better waterproof sealing can be achieved.

[0141] For example, referring to FIG. 12 , cathode 12 includes a cathode body 121 and a cathode terminal 122 connected to each other. Cathode terminal 122 is used to connect to the negative pole of a power source. The connection between cathode body 121 and cathode terminal 122 can be accomplished in any manner, for example, by welding, riveting, or as a single-piece structure.

[0142] The anode 11 includes an interconnected anode body 111 and an anode terminal 112. The anode terminal 112 is used to connect to the positive electrode of the power supply. The connection method of the anode body 111 and the anode terminal 112 is not limited, for example, it can be welding, riveting, or an integrated structure.

[0143] It is understandable that one of the two wiring terminals 1 ″ is the cathode wiring terminal 122 , and the other is the anode wiring terminal 112 .

[0144] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 7 , cathode terminal 122 and anode terminal 112 are hermetically sealed through top cover 22. Using top cover 22 to directly or indirectly secure cathode terminal 122 and anode terminal 112 can secure cathode 12 and anode 11, and also facilitates wiring operations during installation. Furthermore, the connection between cathode terminal 122 and top cover 22, and the connection between anode terminal 112 and top cover 22, are both located above drainage area 2c and are protected from water. This reduces the sealing requirements for the connection and provides improved waterproof sealing.

[0145] The connection method between the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 and the top cover 22 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, referring to FIG7 , the cathode terminal 122, the anode terminal 112, and the top cover 22 are injection molded into an integral structure. Specifically, during the manufacturing process, the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 are placed in a mold for the top cover 22, and molten material is poured into the mold. After the mold is opened, the cathode terminal 122, the anode terminal 112, and the top cover 22 form an integral structure. There is no gap at the connection between the cathode terminal 122 and the top cover 22, and there is no gap at the connection between the anode terminal 112 and the top cover 22, which has excellent waterproof sealing and saves assembly time.

[0146] In other embodiments, the top cover 22 is provided with a mounting hole, and the nozzle body device includes a sealing body, which closes the mounting hole, and the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 pass through the sealing body. For example, when the electrolytic assembly 1 needs to be repaired or replaced, the sealing body can be removed from the top cover 22, and then the electrolytic assembly 1 can be removed from the top cover 22. The seal can be a hard structure, and glue is applied to the parts where the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 pass through the seal; alternatively, sealing rings are respectively provided on the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112, and sealing is achieved by the cooperation of the sealing ring and the hard structure; alternatively, the entire seal is made of a flexible material, such as silicone, rubber, etc.

[0147] In some embodiments, in a plane projection perpendicular to the height direction of the showerhead body device, the projection of the cathode 12 and the projection of the anode 11 are both located within the projection of the mounting hole, so that the cathode body 121 and the anode body 111 can be placed into the space between the top wall 211 and the top cover 22 through the mounting hole, or removed from the space between the top wall 211 and the top cover 22 through the mounting hole. In this embodiment, the cathode 12, the anode 11, and the sealing body form a pre-assembled whole that can be installed and removed in a modular manner. When the electrolytic assembly 1 needs to be repaired or replaced, the cathode 12, the anode 11, and the sealing body can be removed from the mounting hole of the top cover 22 without removing the top cover 22. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the electrolytic assembly 1.

[0148] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 , the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 are sealedly passed through the side wall of the drainage area 2 c or the side wall of the water-dividing area, that is, through the side wall of the bottom shell 21 .

[0149] Exemplarily, the bottom housing 21, cathode terminal 122, and anode terminal 112 are injection molded into an integrated structure. Specifically, during the manufacturing process, the cathode terminal 122 and anode terminal 112 are placed in a mold for the bottom housing 21, and molten material is poured into the mold. After the mold is opened, the cathode terminal 122, anode terminal 112, and bottom housing 21 form an integrated structure. There is no gap at the connection between the cathode terminal 122 and the bottom housing 21, and there is no gap at the connection between the anode terminal 112 and the bottom housing 21, which provides excellent waterproof sealing and saves assembly time.

[0150] For example, referring to Figures 15 and 16, the top cover 22 has an upwardly protruding portion 221, and a water retaining rib 222 is provided on the top surface of the protruding portion 221. The water retaining rib 222 separates the top surface of the protruding portion 221 into a first area 221a and a second area 221b that are not connected to each other. One of the terminal blocks 1" passes through the first area 221a, and the other terminal block 1" passes through the second area 221b. That is, one of the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 passes through the first area 221a, and the other of the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 passes through the second area 221b.

[0151] Among them, being mutually non-connected means that if liquid drops on the top surface of the protruding portion 221, water in the first area 221a will not flow to the second area 221b due to the blocking effect of the water retaining rib 222, and water in the second area 221b will not flow to the first area 221a due to the blocking effect of the water retaining rib 222.

[0152] In this embodiment, the protrusion 221 is relatively high and is not prone to water accumulation. Therefore, the probability of the two terminals 1" being short-circuited due to dripping liquid can be reduced, that is, the probability of the cathode terminal 122 and the anode terminal 112 being short-circuited due to dripping liquid is reduced. In addition, even if liquid drips onto the top surface of the protrusion 221, due to the blocking effect of the water retaining rib 222, the liquid in the first area 221a and the second area 221b do not flow to each other. Therefore, no liquid will conduct the two terminals 1" at the same time. In this way, the two terminals 1" can be effectively prevented from short-circuiting.

[0153] Exemplarily, the top end of the water retaining rib 222 is higher than the top end of the two wiring terminals 1", that is, the top end of the water retaining rib 222 is higher than the top end of the cathode wiring terminal 122, and the top end of the water retaining rib 222 is higher than the top end of the anode wiring terminal 112. In this way, during the manufacturing, transportation or assembly process, if the nozzle body 2 accidentally falls, the water retaining rib 222 can play a certain protective role for the wiring terminal 1", reducing the chance of the wiring terminal 1" touching the ground and being damaged.

[0154] Exemplarily, the top cover 22 includes at least one anti-collision protrusion 223, and the top end of the anti-collision protrusion 223 is higher than the top end of the two terminals 1", that is, the top end of the anti-collision protrusion 223 is higher than the top end of the cathode terminal 122, and the top end of the anti-collision protrusion 223 is higher than the top end of the anode terminal 112. In this way, during the manufacturing, transportation or assembly process, if the nozzle body 2 accidentally falls, the anti-collision protrusion 223 can play a certain protective role for the terminal 1", reducing the chance of the terminal 1" touching the ground and being damaged.

[0155] Without interfering with the assembly of the nozzle body 2 and other components, the anti-collision protrusion 223 is positioned as close to the wiring terminal 1 ″ as possible to better protect the wiring terminal 1 ″ from falling damage.

[0156] Exemplarily, the anti-collision protrusion 223 is provided on the protruding portion 221 .

[0157] The specific shape of the protruding portion 221 is not limited, for example, it can be in the shape of a sheet, a rib, etc.

[0158] The number of the protruding parts 221 is not limited and can be one, two or more.

[0159] In some embodiments, the number of the protruding portion 221 is one, and the protruding portion 221 and the water retaining rib 222 together protect the two connecting terminals 1 ″.

[0160] In an embodiment where there are multiple anti-collision protrusions 223, at least one anti-collision protrusion 223 is connected to the water retaining rib 222. In this way, the structural strength of the water retaining rib 222 and the anti-collision protrusion 223 can be improved, and the probability of cracking at the root of the water retaining rib 222 and the root of the anti-collision protrusion 223 can be reduced.

[0161] The shapes of the anode body 111 and the cathode body 121 are not limited.

[0162] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 12 and 13 , the anode body 111 and the cathode body 121 both have sheet-like structures, such as plate structures or mesh structures, and are stacked. Stacking means that the plates are facing each other and are arranged substantially in parallel.

[0163] In this embodiment, the anode body 111 and the cathode body 121 are stacked, which, on the one hand, provides a larger electrolysis area and can improve electrolysis efficiency; on the other hand, can occupy a relatively small installation space and have a compact structure.

[0164] In embodiments where both the anode body 111 and the cathode body 121 are sheet-like structures, the number of anode bodies 111 can be one or more, and the multiple anode bodies 111 are electrically connected, with the anode terminal 112 simply connected to one of the anode bodies 111. The number of cathode bodies 121 can be one or more, and the multiple cathode bodies 121 are electrically connected, with the cathode terminal 122 simply connected to one of the cathode bodies 121.

[0165] In some embodiments, the number of cathode bodies 121 exceeds the number of anode bodies 111 by one, and the anode bodies 111 and the cathode bodies 111 are arranged alternately along the stacking direction, with the cathode body 121 being the outermost in the stacking direction. For example, referring to Figures 12 and 13 , there are two cathode bodies 121 and one anode body 111, and the anode body 111 is positioned between the two cathode bodies 121. For another example, there are three cathode bodies 121 and two anode bodies 111, and one anode body 111 is positioned between the two cathode bodies 121.

[0166] In this embodiment, the surfaces on both sides of the anode body 111 can participate in electrolysis, so that the metal catalyst surface on the surface of the anode body 111 can be fully utilized, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and saving costs.

[0167] The arrangement of the sheet-like anode body 111 and cathode body 121 in the drainage area 2c is not limited. For example, referring to Figure 4, in some embodiments, the anode body 111 and cathode body 121 are arranged substantially vertically, with the stacking direction being horizontal and the side end faces facing the water inlet 2a. This allows water to flow smoothly through the electrolysis surfaces of the anode body 111 and cathode body 121. Along the water flow direction, the water has a longer contact time with the anode body 111 and cathode body 121, enabling more complete electrolysis.

[0168] In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 8 , the plate surface of the anode body 111 or the cathode body 121 faces the water inlet 2 a , and the water flows head-on against the plate surface of the anode body 111 or the cathode body 121 .

[0169] In some other embodiments, referring to FIG. 10 , the anode body 111 or the cathode body 121 is arranged substantially horizontally, with the stacking direction being along the height direction and the side end surface facing the water inlet 2 a .

[0170] In other embodiments, as shown in FIG14 , the cathode body 121 is hollow and cylindrical, and the anode body 111 is columnar. The columnar anode 11 is inserted into the cylindrical cathode body 121, with the cathode body 121 surrounding the anode body 111. This embodiment maximizes the electrolysis surface area within a confined space, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency.
