The housing 111 is composed of a base shell 1113 and a cover 1115. The upper left side of the illustration of the base shell 1113 is the water inlet 1111 of the electrolyzed water module 11, and the lower right side of the illustration of the base shell 1113 is the water outlet 1112 of the electrolyzed water module 11. Below the illustration of the base shell 1113 is an opening (not labeled in the figures). The cover 1115 is welded to the base housing 1113 by an ultrasonic welding process, and closes the opening of the base housing 1113. In an alternative embodiment, the cap 1115 forms a secure connection with the base housing 1113 by a laser cladding process. The electrolysis cathode sheet 113, the electrolysis anode sheet 114 and the insulating barrier 115 are all placed in the base case 1113 and arranged in parallel with the cover 1115. The electrolytic cathode sheet 113 is located at the upper part of the drawing of the base case 1113, the electrolytic anode sheet 114 is located at the lower part of the drawing of the base case 1113, and the insulating fence 115 is located between the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 and the electrolytic anode sheet 114, and the three are closely adhered together. A base shell supporting rib 1114 extending to the electrolysis cathode plate 113 and propping against the electrolysis cathode plate 113 is arranged on the inner wall of the base shell 1113, and a cover supporting rib 1116 extending to the electrolysis anode plate 114 and propping against the electrolysis anode plate 114 is arranged on the inner wall of the cover 1115. The base case support ribs 1114 and the cover support ribs 1116 fix the electrolytic cathode sheet 113, the insulating fence 115, and the electrolytic anode sheet 114 in the case 111 by pressing the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 and the electrolytic anode sheet 114. Alternatively, 2 or more base case support ribs 1114 may be provided as long as it is ensured that three of the electrolytic cathode sheet 113, the insulating fence 115, and the electrolytic anode sheet 114 can be fixed in the case 111. Similarly, 2 or more cover support ribs 1116 may be provided. In an alternative embodiment, the water inlet 1111 may be provided at the upper portion of the base shell 1113 as long as the water inlet 1111 is secured close to the electrolytic cathode sheet 113. Alternatively, the water outlet 1112 may be provided on the cover 1115, so long as the water outlet 1112 is ensured to be close to the electrolysis anode sheet 114. In an alternative embodiment, the electrolytic anode sheet 114 may also be disposed at the upper portion of the illustration of the base shell 1113, and the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 may be disposed at the lower portion of the illustration of the base shell 1113. A power supply terminal 116 is also provided outside the housing 111. The power supply terminal 116 is electrically connected with the electrolysis cathode sheet 113 and the electrolysis anode sheet 114, respectively, to realize the water electrolysis function of the water electrolysis module 11.
As shown in fig. 3, both the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 and the electrolytic anode sheet 114 are metal sheets. A plurality of cathode sheet holes 1131 penetrating the thickness of the electrolysis cathode sheet 113 are provided to ensure that water flows through the electrolysis cathode sheet 113. Cathode tab hole 1131 is a punched hole. Alternatively, the cathode tab hole 1131 may be a corrosion hole. Alternatively, the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 may be designed as a mesh structure. A plurality of anode sheet holes 1141 are provided through the thickness of the electrolysis anode sheet 114 to ensure that water flows through the electrolysis anode sheet 114. Anode tab hole 1141 is a punched hole. Alternatively, anode tab holes 1141 may also be corrosion holes. Alternatively, the electrolytic anode sheet 114 may be designed as a mesh structure. The insulating barrier 115 provided at the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 and the electrolytic anode sheet 114 has a barrier structure provided with barrier holes 1151 for passing fluid therethrough. At the water inlet 1111 is provided a filter apparatus 112. The filtering device 112 is a filter screen made of polymer insulating material, the mesh number of the filter screen is 60 meshes, and impurities such as rust, sediment and the like in water can be filtered. Alternatively, the mesh number of the filter screen may be any value from 50 to 200 mesh, as long as it is ensured that impurities in the water can be filtered out. In an alternative embodiment, the filter 112 may also cover the upper side of the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 and cover all cathode sheet holes 1131 of the electrolytic cathode sheet 113. Alternatively, the filter 112 may wrap the electrolytic cathode sheet 113 entirely. The water flowing into the electrolytic water module 11 from the water inlet 1111 will flow through the filtering device 112 to filter out impurities therein, so as to prevent the impurities in the water from accumulating between the electrolytic cathode plate 113 and the electrolytic anode plate 114 after passing through the cathode plate holes 1131 and the fence holes 1151, and to enable the electrolytic cathode plate 113 to be electrically connected with the electrolytic anode plate 114, thereby causing the electrolytic water module 11 to fail to operate normally. The filtered water then passes through the electrolytic cathode sheet 113, the insulating barrier 115 and the electrolytic anode sheet 114 in sequence, and flows out of the electrolytic water module 11 from the water outlet 1112, and electrolytic water containing active chlorine and active oxyhydrogen free radicals capable of sterilizing is supplied to the washing apparatus 1 to treat laundry.
