The electrolysis assembly 1 generates a large amount of ozone in the electrolysis process, can oxidize and destroy the chromophoric groups of dye molecules in which colored clothes are dissociated into water in the washing process to decolorize the dye, prevents the dissociated dye from being stained into light-colored clothes to cause cross color, and continuously reacts to decompose the dye molecules into harmless carbon dioxide, water and inorganic salt; the generated hydroxyl radical can decompose dye molecules on the surface of the electrode (or near the electrolytic device), so that the color-mixing prevention effect is better. Meanwhile, the electrode can generate a large amount of hydrogen microbubbles, the diameter of the microbubbles is very small and is usually smaller than 50um, the microbubbles can well enter the inside of the clothing fiber in the washing process, and the microbubbles are continuously generated to circularly wash through the actions of blasting and adsorbing and floating the microbubbles, so that the detergent is assisted to thoroughly remove the sebum, grease, tiny dust and other dirt accumulated in the clothing fiber, and the washing effect can be improved.

In the water injection process of the shell 2, the flow rate of water is high, the water flow is used for strongly flushing the electrode assembly 1, and the probability of adhering scale to the surface of the electrode assembly 1 is reduced; the water flow can wash out the micro-bubbles generated on the surface of the electrode assembly 1 in time, so that the micro-bubbles are prevented from gathering and growing up, the washing effect can be improved, and the generation of scale can be restrained. Therefore, the electrolytic device provided by the embodiment of the application can effectively improve the scaling phenomenon of the surface of the electrode assembly 1 and prolong the service life of the electrode assembly 1.

For example, referring to fig. 4, the flow channel includes a water inlet channel 2c and a mixing chamber 2f, and the cathode sheet 121 and the anode sheet 111 are disposed in the water inlet channel 2c. The mixing chamber 2f is located downstream of the water inlet channel 2c in the flow direction of the water flow, that is, the water flow first flows through the water inlet channel 2c and then flows through the mixing chamber 2f.

The laundry treatment apparatus includes a detergent box for storing detergent. The types of detergents are not limited, and may be granular substances such as washing powder, fluid substances such as washing machine, softener, disinfectant, and the like, or laundry detergent beads, for example.

The detergent and water are mixed in the mixing chamber 2f, and the mixed solution flows from the liquid outlet 2b to the laundry treating chamber. Since the cathode tab 121 and the anode tab 111 are located upstream of the mixing chamber 2f. In the prior art, because the electrolytic component is contacted with the detergent in the working process, the current of the electrolytic component is increased, the scaling process is accelerated, and the service life of the electrolytic component is influenced, the electrolytic component 1 is positioned at the upstream of the mixing cavity 2f, so that the contact of the electrolytic component and the detergent is avoided, the working environment of the electrolytic component 1 is greatly improved, and the service life of the electrolytic component 1 is prolonged.
