Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dual-purpose device for simultaneously preparing hydrogen gas for inhalation and hydrogen liquid for drinking, belonging to the technical field of water treatment for preparing hydrogen and forcing hydrogen gas to dissolve in liquid to form hydrogen liquid. Background Art

[0002] At present, inhaling hydrogen and drinking hydrogen liquid (such as hydrogen water) has become a new fashion for health and wellness. However, the market is full of independent products that only produce drinking hydrogen water or products that only produce hydrogen. Although there are so-called products that produce drinking hydrogen water with a hydrogen inhalation port, they can only produce a trace amount of hydrogen (usually only a few milliliters / minute, far less than 60 milliliters / minute) and cannot meet the needs of hydrogen inhalation at all. It is just a gimmick. At present, the general hydrogen inhalation machine known only produces hydrogen and cannot produce hydrogen-rich water. In addition, the electrolyzer lacks a structure to dissipate the heat generated by hydrogen production. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a device that can simultaneously meet the needs of inhaling hydrogen gas and drinking hydrogen liquid.

[0004] The technical solution proposed by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a dual-purpose device for simultaneously preparing hydrogen gas for inhalation and hydrogen liquid for drinking, comprising a liquid storage tank, an electrolytic cell and a pump, wherein the liquid storage tank is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet, and the electrolytic cell is provided with a water inlet; the liquid storage tank and the electrolytic cell are connected to each other as a whole by a metal plate as a common side plate, a mesh cathode plate is attached to the side wall of the metal plate facing the electrolytic cell, an anode plate and a diaphragm separating the cathode plate from the anode plate are provided in the electrolytic cell, and the cathode plate and the anode plate are connected to each other by a metal plate as a common side plate. The diaphragm is in contact with the anode plate, an air guide groove is provided on the surface of the metal plate in contact with the cathode plate, an air outlet hole is provided at the end of the air guide groove extending to the cathode plate, the liquid outlet is connected to a liquid outlet pipeline, the pump is arranged on the liquid outlet pipeline, the air outlet hole is connected to the inlet of the pump through an air pipe, the liquid outlet pipeline is divided into a first pipeline and a second pipeline, the first pipeline is connected to a liquid outlet switch, and the second pipeline is connected to a gas-liquid separator; the air outlet of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the air outlet switch.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1) Since the liquid storage tank and the electrolytic cell share a metal plate as their common side plate on the same side, and then a pump is used to mix the liquid discharged from the liquid storage tank and the gas (hydrogen) discharged from the cathode plate of the electrolytic cell to produce a hydrogen-containing liquid dissolved with hydrogen; at the same time, one path (the first pipeline) of this hydrogen-containing liquid is for drinking, and the other path (the second pipeline) can separate hydrogen through a gas-liquid separator and can be used for inhaling hydrogen; furthermore, because the liquid storage tank and the electrolytic cell are integrated by sharing a common metal plate as the side plate, the present device can be used as a product to simultaneously meet the needs of inhaling hydrogen and drinking hydrogen-containing liquid. 2) The sizes of the electrolytic cell, its cathode plate, and anode plate can be designed according to the amount of hydrogen inhaled and the amount of hydrogen in the hydrogen-containing liquid for drinking to meet the requirement of hydrogen production. 3) Since the liquid storage tank and the electrolytic cell share a common metal plate as the side plate, the heat generated during the operation of the electrolytic cell can be transferred to the liquid in the liquid storage tank through this metal plate, so good heat dissipation can be provided for the electrolytic cell.

[0006] Furthermore, a liquid return port is also provided on the liquid storage tank, and the liquid discharge port of the gas-liquid separator is connected to the liquid return port; the liquid in the liquid storage tank forms a circulating flow along the liquid discharge port, the pump, the second pipeline, the liquid discharge port of the gas-liquid separator, and the liquid return port and repeatedly flows through the side wall of the metal plate facing the liquid storage tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the liquid discharge pipeline is also branched into a third pipeline, and the third pipeline is connected to the inlet of the pump.

[0008] Furthermore, a heating module is provided on the first pipeline.

[0015] The dual-purpose device for simultaneously producing hydrogen for inhalation and hydrogen-rich liquid for drinking in this example is as shown in Figure 1 Figure, including a liquid storage tank 1, an electrolytic cell 2 and a pump 12. The electrolytic cell 2 is provided with a water inlet 30, and the liquid storage tank 1 is provided with a liquid inlet 9 and a liquid outlet 10; the liquid storage tank 1 and the electrolytic cell 2 are connected to each other as a whole by a metal plate 3 as a common side plate. A mesh cathode plate 4 is attached and installed on the side wall of the side plate (metal plate 3) facing the electrolytic cell 2. An anode plate 5 and a diaphragm 6 separating the cathode plate 4 from the anode plate 5 are arranged in the electrolytic cell 2. The cathode plate 4, the anode plate 5 and the diaphragm 6 are sequentially attached to each other, that is, the cathode plate 4 is attached to the diaphragm 6, and the diaphragm 6 is attached to the anode plate 5. Gas guiding grooves ( Figure 1 not shown in the figure, but can be imagined) are opened on the attaching surface of the metal plate 3 and the cathode plate 4, and gas outlet holes 8 are opened at the ends of the gas guiding grooves extending to the metal plate 3 (also the ends of the cathode plate 4). The liquid outlet 10 is connected with a liquid outlet pipeline 11, the pump 12 is arranged on the liquid outlet pipeline 11, the gas outlet hole 8 is connected with the inlet of the pump 12 through a gas pipeline 13, the liquid outlet pipeline 11 is divided into a first pipeline 11-1 and a second pipeline 11-2, the first pipeline 11-1 is connected with a liquid outlet switch 14, and the second pipeline 11-2 is connected with a gas-liquid separator 15; the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator 15 is connected with a gas outlet switch 16.

[0016] A throttle valve 17 is arranged on the liquid outlet pipeline 11, and a check valve 18 is arranged on the gas pipeline 13.

[0017] The liquid storage tank 1 is preferably made of a food-grade stainless steel-like metal material to form a sealed box structure. The pump 12 is preferably a diaphragm pump. The material of the metal plate 3 is preferably a material with good heat conduction and electrical conductivity, such as stainless steel, copper, etc. The diaphragm 6 is selected as a perfluorosulfonic acid ion exchange membrane, and the liquid outlet switch 14 is selected as an electromagnetic valve.

[0018] The metal plate 3, the cathode plate 4, the anode plate 5 and the diaphragm 6 are sequentially insulated and sealed with zero spacing from each other. The space on the side of the anode plate 5 in the electrolytic cell 2 forms a water storage container. Various drinking liquids, such as water, wine, cola, Sprite, soda water, tea and coffee liquid, etc., can be injected into the liquid storage tank 1 through the liquid inlet 9. Example 2

[0019] The dual-purpose device for simultaneously producing hydrogen for inhalation and hydrogen-rich liquid for drinking in this example is as shown in Figure 2As shown in the figure, it is an improvement based on Embodiment 1. Except for being the same as Embodiment 2, the differences are as follows: A liquid return port 19 is further provided on the liquid storage tank 1, and the liquid discharge port of the gas-liquid separator 15 is connected to the liquid return port 19. During use, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 forms a circulating flow along the liquid discharge port 10, the pump 12, the second pipeline 11-2, the liquid discharge port of the gas-liquid separator, and the liquid return port 19. Therefore, the liquid circulating in the liquid storage tank 1 repeatedly flows through the side wall of the metal plate 3 facing the liquid storage tank 1, and can take away the heat generated when the electrolytic cell 2 is powered on, and this heat can also heat the liquid in the liquid storage tank 1, so that the hydrogen-rich liquid output by opening the liquid discharge switch 14 has a certain temperature. Embodiment 3

[0020] The dual-purpose device for simultaneously producing inhalable hydrogen and drinkable hydrogen-rich liquid in this embodiment is as Figure 3 shown in the figure. It is an improvement based on Embodiment 2. Except for being the same as Embodiment 1, the differences are as follows: A heating module 20 is provided on the first pipeline 11-1 of the liquid discharge pipeline 11.

[0021] Of course, a heating module 20 can also be added to the first pipeline 11-1 of the liquid discharge pipeline 11 in Embodiment 1 to form the dual-purpose device of another embodiment. Embodiment 4

[0022] The dual-purpose device for simultaneously producing inhalable hydrogen and drinkable hydrogen-rich liquid in this embodiment is as Figure 4 shown in the figure. It is an improvement based on Embodiment 3.

[0025] 2. Power on the cathode plate 4 and the anode plate 5, and turn on the pump 12.

[0026] There are two circulating circuits for the whole liquid pumping:

[0027] ① Pump 12 inlet: (Liquid discharged from the liquid storage tank 1 + hydrogen) → Pump 12 outlet → Third pipeline 11-3 → Reflux regulating valve 21 → Pump 12 inlet;

[0028] ② Pump 12 inlet: (Liquid discharged from the liquid storage tank 1 + hydrogen) → Pump 12 outlet → Throttle valve 17 → (Liquid discharge switch 14 is off) → Gas-liquid separator 15 → Liquid storage tank 1.

[0029] Open the liquid discharge switch 14 to output the hydrogen-rich liquid.

[0030] 3. Output hydrogen

[0031] In the process of preparing the hydrogen-rich liquid mentioned above, when the gas outlet switch 16 is opened, hydrogen can be continuously output from the gas outlet of the gas-liquid separator 15 at the same time. If hydrogen inhalation is not required, just turn off the gas outlet switch 16.
