Detailed Description

It should be noted that, in the present application, technical features in examples and embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict, and the detailed description in the specific embodiment should be understood as an explanation of the gist of the present application and should not be construed as an improper limitation to the present application.

In the description of the present application, a "top" or "bottom" orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in fig. 8, it being understood that such orientation terms are merely for convenience in describing the present application and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the referenced device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus should not be considered limiting of the present application.

In this embodiment, the thickness direction of the electrode coincides with the top and bottom directions shown in fig. 8.

An embodiment of the present application provides an electrolytic apparatus 1, please refer to fig. 1 and fig. 3, including a plurality of stacked electrode units 11, wherein each electrode unit 11 includes a cathode component 110 and an anode component 111 disposed at an interval; the cathode sub-members 110 of the multi-layered electrode unit 11 are electrically conductively connected to collectively constitute the cathode of the electrolysis apparatus 1, and the anode sub-members 111 of the multi-layered electrode unit 11 are electrically conductively connected to collectively constitute the anode of the electrolysis apparatus 1.

The electrolytic device 1 of the embodiment of the application is in the same place through overlapping the multilayer electrode units 11, so that the electrolytic area of the electrolytic device 1 can be increased, the electrolytic efficiency is improved, on the other hand, the manufacturing difficulty of each layer of the electrode units 11 can be reduced by the multi-layer overlapping mode, the standardized batch production can be realized, and the overlapping quantity of the electrode units 11 can be determined according to the requirements of use occasions during assembly.

It is understood that a plurality of cathode sub-members 110 can be fastened and connected by bolts, screws, etc. to form a conductive whole; the plurality of anode sub-members 111 may be fastened and connected by bolts, screws, etc. to form a conductive whole.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the electrolysis apparatus 1 includes a spacer 13, which is an insulating spacer, and the spacer 13 is disposed between two adjacent layers of the electrode units 11. By arranging the isolation pad 13, on one hand, the adjacent two layers of electrode units 11 are spaced, so that the anode sub-part 111 and the cathode sub-part 110 of the adjacent two layers are prevented from contacting and short-circuiting under the action of external force; on the other hand, the position of each layer of the electrode units 11 is ensured to be relatively fixed.

The number of the spacers 13 is not limited. There may be one or more than one, for example, the isolation pad 13 may be disposed between each two adjacent layers of the electrode units 11 according to the specific number of the electrode units 11.

In order to enhance the liquid flow between the multi-layer electrode units 11 and facilitate the micro-bubbles generated on the surfaces of the electrode units 11 to be diffused into the liquid even though the micro-bubbles are separated from the surfaces of the electrode units 11, in one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the isolation pad 13 is formed with an overflowing hole 13a penetrating through the isolation pad 13 in the thickness direction of the isolation pad 13, so that the liquid can flow between the multi-layer electrode units 11, and the liquid washes the surfaces of the electrode units 11 to timely take away the micro-bubbles on the surfaces of the electrode units 11.

It is noted that, in the case of securing the structural strength of the separator 13 and preventing contact between the anode sub-member 110 and the cathode sub-member 111 between the adjacent two layers of the electrode units 11, the larger the size of the overflow holes 13a, the better. The number of the overflowing holes 13a may be one or more, and is not limited herein.

In an embodiment, with reference to fig. 4, the surface of the isolation pad 13 is formed with a protrusion 13b, and the number of the protrusions 13b may be one or more. The projection 13b extends between the cathode sub-element 110 and the anode sub-element 111 on the same side of the spacer 13. Thus, the contact short circuit between the cathode sub-element 110 and the anode sub-element 111 in the same layer can be prevented, and the reliability of the electrolyzer 1 can be improved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, the cathode sub-assembly 110 includes a first support portion 1102 and at least one first comb 1101 extending from the first support portion 1102 in a direction away from the first support portion 1102; anode sub-assembly 111 includes a second support portion 1112 and at least one second comb 1111 extending from second support portion 1112 in a direction away from second support portion 1112; first comb teeth 1101 and second comb teeth 1111 are alternately arranged, that is, first comb teeth 1101 and second comb teeth 1111 are in an interdigital structure. On one hand, the electrolysis area of the electrolysis device 1 is further increased, and the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis device 1 is improved, on the other hand, the cathode sub-element 110 and the anode sub-element 111 only need to occupy smaller space, so that the electrolysis device 1 can be compact in structure; on the other hand, taking the example of the electrolytic device 1 applied to the clothes treating apparatus, during the clothes washing process, the lint on the clothes is mixed into the water, and since the gap between the first comb teeth 1101 and the second comb teeth 1111 is a narrow slit, the lint can easily pass through the narrow slit, that is, the lint is not easily blocked on the electrolytic device 1, and the service life of the electrolytic device 1 can be prolonged. Further, when the electrolytic device 1 is subjected to an external force in the direction substantially along the stacking direction of the electrode units 11, even if the cathode sub-piece 110 or the anode sub-piece 111 of the same layer is displaced by the external force, the cathode sub-piece 110 or the anode sub-piece 111 of the same layer does not come into contact, and therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the cathode sub-piece 110 or the anode sub-piece 111 of the same layer from coming into contact with a short circuit. By such design, the thickness of the electrode unit 11 of each layer can be designed to be very thin, which is beneficial to the light and thin design of the electrolysis device 1, so that the electrolysis device 1 can be installed in a narrow space, such as between the inner drum and the outer drum 2000 of the clothes treatment equipment.

It should be noted that, in the clothes treatment apparatus, the life of the electrolysis device 1 needs to match the design service life of the clothes treatment apparatus, and if the service life of the electrolysis device 1 is substantially less than the design service life of the clothes treatment apparatus, the clothes treatment apparatus may be scrapped in advance, and the consumer benefit may be damaged.
