Description

Electrolyzed water generating device and integrated water tank

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a kitchen equipment technical field specifically indicates an electrolysis water generating device and integrated basin.

Background

Current integrated sinks integrate a variety of products that are spatially or functionally associated with the sink, including cleaning machines, water purifiers, kitchen waste disposers, kitchen utensil sanitizers, electrolyzed water generating devices, and the like.

For example, a utility model patent of multifunctional intelligent integrated sink with patent application number of CN201721005040.0 (publication number of CN 207109957U) discloses a multifunctional intelligent integrated sink, which comprises a sink body, and a top-open type dish washer, a water purifying device, an electrolytic water sterilizing device and an ultrasonic device which are arranged on the sink body; the water tank body at least comprises two integrally formed sub-water tanks. The integrated water tank can almost cover all functions of kitchen water, and can effectively meet various requirements of people.

In order to avoid scale deposits, dishwashers are generally equipped with a water softener for softening the incoming tap water and reducing the water hardness, which typically has a resin chamber and a salt chamber, which operate on the basis of an ion exchange treeThe lipid can remove hardness components such as Ca in water ²⁺ 、Mg ²⁺ The plasma is replaced and removed to achieve the purpose of softening hard water, so that the scale and the harm brought by the scale generated inside the dish washing machine are reduced, and the service life of the dish washing machine is effectively prolonged. In the above process, when the exchange ions on the resin are all changed into calcium and magnesium, the conversion effect of the resin is saturated, the conversion capability will be ineffective, and at this time, the calcium and magnesium ions need to be regenerated and replaced by sodium ions. In the regeneration process, the brine flows through the resin cavity and reacts with the resin in the resin cavity to replace calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions, so that the soft water capacity of the resin is recovered. Specifically, refer to patent application No. CN202110869770.X (publication No. CN 113440082A) for a dishwasher with water softener.

The electrolytic water is used as a new kitchen cleaning means, and the electrolytic tank consists of a tank body, an anode and a cathode, and an anode chamber and a cathode chamber are mostly separated by an ion exchange membrane (also called a diaphragm). The electrolytic bath is divided into three types, namely an aqueous solution electrolytic bath, a molten salt electrolytic bath and a non-aqueous solution electrolytic bath according to the difference of the electrolyte. When direct current passes through the electrolytic cell, an oxidation reaction occurs at the interface between the anode and the solution, and a reduction reaction occurs at the interface between the cathode and the solution, to produce electrolyzed water. For example, in the chinese patent application No. CN201810264395.4 (publication No. CN108609693 a), a method for preparing acidic water and alkaline water uses electrolysis of salt solution to form cations and anions, which move to two electrodes of an electrolysis electrode, respectively, hydrogen ions and chlorine gas with high activity are generated from an anode, the chlorine gas is dissolved in water to generate hypochlorous acid and a hydrochloric acid solution as acidic water, and hydroxide ions and hydrogen gas are generated from a cathode to form a sodium hydroxide solution as alkaline water.

However, in the case of sodium carbonate powder, it is liable to be rapidly crystallized by adding it to a water body, and thus it is impossible to dissolve it, and even if dissolution is promoted by stirring, a water flow dead zone is present, and accumulation of electrolyte powder or crystalline solid is liable to occur.

In addition, in the existing integrated water tank, the components are only integrated together in physical space, and the functions of the components are not mutually related.
