Description

Submersible water production device for hypochlorous acid water

The present invention relates to an electrolysis equipment, in particular to a submersible type device for producing hypochlorous acid water.

Modern people pay more and more attention to hygiene, so they often use sterilization products to clean the environment. Among them, hypochlorous acid water is gradually favored by the public due to its good sterilization effect. However, since hypochlorous acid water is easily oxidized and reduced, if it is stored improperly or stored for too long, the concentration may decrease and affect the sterilization effect. Therefore, many people choose to purchase hypochlorous acid water making machines to make hypochlorous acid water by themselves.

Hypochlorous acid water making machines currently on the market put salt water, hydrochloric acid, or salt water mixed with hydrochloric acid into an electrolytic tank for electrolysis to make a hypochlorous acid aqueous solution. However, due to the production of hypochlorous acid water, The machine does not have a water flow guiding function, so it is easy to cause uneven solution concentration, which in turn affects the electrolysis efficiency and the concentration of the hypochlorous acid water produced.

Therefore, there is another type of hypochlorous acid water making machine on the market that is designed to achieve the water flow guiding function by controlling the amount of water at the water inlet, and to immediately discharge the electrolyzed hypochlorous acid water. However, if the water inlet is too large, A small amount will result in poor production efficiency, and a too large amount of water will cause incomplete electrolysis and affect the concentration of the hypochlorous acid water produced, so it still needs to be improved.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a submersible type device for producing hypochlorous acid water with good electrolysis efficiency and good sterilization effect.
