A water treatment apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, a water treatment apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water outlet nozzle 10, an electrolysis device 20, and an atomization device 30.

The electrolysis device 20 is in communication with a water source and is for electrolyzing water at the water source. The atomization device 30 is communicated with the electrolysis device 20 to atomize the electrolyzed water generated by the electrolysis device 20, and the atomization device 30 is arranged adjacent to the water outlet nozzle 10 to sterilize the water outlet nozzle 10 by the atomized electrolyzed water.

Specifically, when the water treatment device receives a sterilization instruction input by a user or executes a sterilization function according to a periodic timing sterilization instruction, the electrolysis device 20 is turned on, the electrolysis device 20 electrolyzes water, water molecules are electrolyzed into hydrogen ions and oxygen ions, and electrolyzed water capable of sterilizing is further generated, and then the electrolyzed water enters the atomization device 30, is atomized by the atomization device 30 and then is discharged to the water outlet nozzle 10, so that the water outlet nozzle 10 is sterilized.

For example, when the water source is a tap water source, the positive and negative electrodes decompose water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen ions during electrolysis, and the oxygen ions as anions react with other surrounding water molecules to generate hydroxyl (OH-) radicals, and at this time, since the tap water contains a trace amount of sodium hypochlorite, the sodium hypochlorite is also decomposed into HCL +, O-during electrolysis, and dissolved oxygen anions and hydrogen peroxide sterilizing substances are generated, so that water is sterilized and sterilized water is produced.

The hypochlorous acid generated after electrolysis can not only act on the cell wall of bacteria, but also permeate into the bacteria to oxidize organic molecules such as mycoprotein, nucleic acid, enzyme and the like, and destroy the composition system to kill microorganisms. And hypochlorous acid can generate active hydroxyl during the reaction process; the active oxygen can also generate hydrogen peroxide under the condition of an oxidation-reduction point to further generate active hydroxyl, and the active hydroxyl is a strong oxidant, has decomposition and inactivation effects on bacterial accounting, protein and metabolic enzyme, and is very similar to the sterilization mechanism of neutrophilic granulocytes in organisms. After the acidic oxidation point acts on water, the permeability of bacterial cells is enhanced, the cells swell, and bacterial spores are killed due to overflow of contents.

According to the water treatment apparatus 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the electrolysis device 20, water can be electrolyzed by the electrolysis device 20 to generate electrolyzed water capable of sterilizing.

Moreover, by arranging the atomizing device 30, the electrolyzed water generated by the electrolyzing device 20 can be atomized by the atomizing device 30 and discharged towards the water outlet nozzle 10 to sterilize the water outlet nozzle 10, and compared with water treatment equipment in the related art, the water receiving area of a user can be sterilized in a targeted manner, the sterilization effect on the water receiving area of the user is ensured, and the water taking health and safety of the user are ensured.
