Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hydrogen water cup for use in conjunction with an external hydrogen source (such as a household hydrogen generator, hydrogen inhalation machine, hydrogen station or hydrogen cylinder, etc.), and belongs to the technical field of gas-liquid mixing. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen molecule medicine points out that hydrogen can selectively scavenge harmful free radicals (hydroxyl free radicals •OH) in the human body, and harmful free radicals are also known as the "source of all diseases". Hydrogen acts on the human body through various means such as breathing hydrogen, drinking hydrogen water, hydrogen-rich bathing, and injecting hydrogen-rich liquid. Among them, drinking liquids rich in hydrogen, such as water, is currently relatively common.

[0003] It is understood that currently in the market, either hydrogen-containing liquid beverages filled and sealed through a production line can only be consumed once, cannot be reused and carried around; or portable water cups with hydrogen production modules are not only complex in structure and expensive in price, but also have a low dissolution rate of the produced hydrogen in liquids such as water, resulting in poor drinking effects.

[0004] Since many families have purchased household hydrogen production machines (commonly known as hydrogen generators or hydrogen inhalation machines) at present, the hydrogen production capacity of household hydrogen generators is generally above 100 ml / min; however, the usage time of household hydrogen generators by general families is not long, and the usage efficiency is low. To make the best use of things, some household hydrogen generators can pass the produced hydrogen into a liquid-containing container (such as a water cup, beverage bottle or water bucket) through a gas diffuser to produce hydrogen-rich water for drinking. However, such a simple method of passing the produced hydrogen-rich water into a liquid container often results in a low hydrogen content (concentration) in the liquid, failing to achieve the effect of drinking hydrogen-rich water. In addition, with the development, small hydrogen stations or hydrogen cylinders may appear in the future market as dedicated hydrogen sources for providing hydrogen. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose a hydrogen water cup that can be used in conjunction with an external hydrogen source to obtain hydrogen-containing liquid and provide its usage method.

[0006] The first technical solution proposed by the present invention to solve the above technical problem is: A hydrogen water cup for use in conjunction with an external hydrogen source, including a cup body for containing liquid, an opening for liquid inlet and outlet is provided on the cup body, a connector that forms a sealed mating connection with the cup body is provided at the opening of the cup body, an intake and exhaust two-way valve, an inflation joint mating with the intake and exhaust two-way valve, and a safety valve are provided on the cup body or the connector, the inflation joint can be externally connected to the hydrogen outlet of the hydrogen source through a pipeline, a mark for restricting the liquid holding capacity is provided on the cup body, the cup body or the connector can withstand a pressure of 0.2 - 1 Mpa, and there is a space without liquid after the cup body is filled with liquid up to the mark.

[0007] Furthermore:

[0008] The intake and exhaust two-way valve includes a valve body with openings at both upper and lower ends. A spring, a steel ball, a gasket, and an elastic cap are sequentially assembled in the valve body from bottom to top. On the inner side walls of the upper end of the valve body, below the elastic cap, clamping grooves are formed; the inflation joint is hollow to form a ventilation channel. One end of the inflation joint forms a convex nozzle for mating with an air delivery pipe. The other end forms a pressing ring along the ventilation channel, and on both sides of the other end, a pair of elastic claws with a gap from the pressing ring are formed. A convex block is provided on the outer side of the elastic claws; when the elastic claws are used to press the elastic cap to overcome the elastic force of the spring and open the upper end opening of the valve body downward and make the convex block snap into the clamping groove, the other end of the inflation joint is mated with the intake and exhaust two-way valve; when the convex block leaves the clamping groove under the pressure of the elastic claws, the other end of the inflation joint is separated from the intake and exhaust two-way valve, and the elastic cap rises under the elastic force of the spring to seal the upper end opening of the valve body.

[0009] The connecting member is a cup cover screwed to the opening of the cup body.

[0010] The connecting member is a plug screwed to the opening of the cup body.

[0011] The connecting member is a plug in interference fit with the opening of the cup body.

[0012] A PE2 sub-pipe joint is provided on the intake check valve.

[0013] The mark is the highest water injection level line.

[0014] A flow meter and a pressure gauge are further provided on the intake check valve or the air delivery pipe.

[0015] The space V is less than or equal to 90% of the total space in the cup body.

[0016] The cup body, the connecting member, and the valve are all made of materials impermeable to hydrogen.

[0017] The material impermeable to hydrogen is an aluminum alloy material or a material covered with aluminum foil.

[0018] The second technical solution proposed by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: A method of using the hydrogen water cup used in conjunction with the hydrogen generator described in Technical Solution 1 includes the following steps:

[0019] 1) Separate the connecting member from the cup body, pour potable liquid into the cup body, stop pouring the potable liquid after reaching the mark, so that there is a space V without liquid in the cup body;

[0020] 2) Hermetically connect the connecting piece to the cup body. Select an air delivery pipe, connect the inflation joint to the air inlet and outlet two-way valve, then connect one end of the air delivery pipe to the inflation joint and the other end of the air delivery pipe to the hydrogen output port of an external hydrogen source. Turn on the switch of the external hydrogen source to allow hydrogen to enter the cup body through the one-way intake valve to fill the space V inside the cup body. When the air pressure in the space V reaches the set value of the safety valve and alarms, turn off the switch of the external hydrogen source to stop the gas supply, and remove the air delivery pipe and the inflation joint;

[0021] 3) Apply mechanical external force to the cup body to make the cup body vibrate for a period of time and then stop vibrating;

[0022] 4) Open the air inlet and outlet two-way valve to discharge the residual hydrogen in the cup body. After there is no more exhaust, separate the connecting piece from the cup body, pour out the liquid from the cup body or insert a straw into the cup body to drink.

[0023] Furthermore:

[0024] In the said step 2), make the elastic claw press the elastic cap to overcome the elastic force of the spring to open the upper opening of the valve body downward and make the convex block snap into the card slot, that is, connect the other end of the inflation joint to the air inlet and outlet two-way valve; after the elastic claw is pressed and the convex block leaves the card slot, separate the other end of the inflation joint from the air inlet and outlet two-way valve and remove the inflation joint. At this time, the elastic cap rises under the elastic force of the spring to reseal the upper opening of the valve body.

[0025] In the said step 4), press the elastic cap to overcome the elastic force of the spring to open the upper opening of the said valve body to discharge the residual hydrogen in the cup body.

[0026] In the said step 2), when it is observed that the flow rate and pressure reach the set limit values, turn off the switch of the external hydrogen source to stop the gas supply and remove the air delivery pipe.

[0027] In the said step 2), the vibration is to shake the cup body by hand or the cup body is placed on a vibrating table to form mechanical vibration.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By setting the capacity of the cup body to hold the liquid to ensure the formation of a space V without liquid in the cup body, and by providing an air inlet and outlet two-way valve and a full joint on the cup body or the connecting piece and connecting to a hydrogen source through a gas pipeline, hydrogen from the external hydrogen source can be introduced into the space V in the cup body containing the liquid; the introduced hydrogen will accumulate in the limited space V to form a gradually increasing air pressure, and the hydrogen with pressure will gradually dissolve into the liquid to obtain a hydrogen-containing liquid. Further, after stopping the introduction of hydrogen according to the alarm of the safety valve or the warning of the flow meter and the pressure gauge, the cup body is vibrated. At this time, under the dual action of pressure and mechanical force of the hydrogen in the cup body, the hydrogen in the cup body can be fully mixed with the liquid and the hydrogen can dissolve into the liquid more quickly and in a larger amount, thereby increasing the hydrogen content in the liquid and finally obtaining a liquid with a high hydrogen content for drinking.

[0036] A hydrogen water cup compatible with an external hydrogen source in this embodiment is as Figure 1As shown in the figure, it includes a cup body 1 for containing liquid. An opening for liquid inlet and outlet is provided on the cup body 1. At the opening of the cup body 1, there is a connecting piece that forms a sealed mating connection with the cup body 1. The connecting piece in this embodiment is a cup lid 2. An air inlet and outlet two-way valve 3 and a safety valve 5 are provided on the cup lid 2. The air inlet and outlet two-way valve is connected with an inflation joint 4. The inflation joint 4 can be externally connected to the hydrogen outlet of a hydrogen source (such as a household hydrogen generator, not shown in the figure) through a pipeline. A mark for restricting the liquid holding capacity is provided on the cup body 1, that is, the highest water injection water level line 6. The cup body 1, the cup lid 2, the air inlet and outlet two-way valve 3 and the safety valve are all made of materials that are impermeable to hydrogen (such as aluminum alloy materials or materials covered with aluminum foil), and can all withstand a pressure of 0.2 - 1 Mpa. After the cup body 1 contains liquid up to the highest water injection water level line 6, there is a space V without liquid. Generally, the space V does not exceed 90% of the total space inside the cup body.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, the inflation joint 4 is hollow to form a ventilation channel. One end of the inflation joint 4 forms a convex nozzle 15 for mating with a gas transmission pipe. The other end of the inflation joint 4 forms a wedge-shaped pressing ring 16 along the ventilation channel. On both sides of the other end of the inflation joint 4, there are a pair of elastic clamping claws 11 with a gap from the pressing ring 16. On the outside of the elastic clamping claws 11, there are convex blocks 13.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown, the air inlet and outlet two-way valve 3 includes a valve body 14 with openings at both upper and lower ends. Inside the valve body 14, a spring 12, a steel ball 7, a sealing gasket 8 and an elastic cap 9 are assembled in sequence from bottom to top. On the inner side walls at the upper end of the valve body 14 and below the elastic cap 9, there are clamping grooves 10; when the elastic clamping claws 11 press the elastic cap 9 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 12 and open the upper end opening of the valve body 14 and the convex blocks 13 are clamped into the clamping grooves 10, the other end of the inflation joint 4 forms a mating connection with the air inlet and outlet two-way valve 3. At this time; when the elastic clamping claws 11 are pressed and the convex blocks 13 leave the clamping grooves 10, the other end of the inflation joint 4 is separated from the air inlet and outlet two-way valve 3, and the elastic cap 9 rises under the elastic force of the spring 12 to seal the upper end opening of the valve body 14.

[0039] The usage method of a hydrogen water cup that is used in conjunction with an external hydrogen source in this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] 1) Unscrew the cup lid 2 to separate the cup lid 2 from the cup body 1. Pour potable liquid into the cup body 1. Stop pouring the potable liquid after reaching the highest water injection water level line 6, so that there is a space V without liquid in the cup body 1;

[0041] 2) Screw the cup lid 2 tightly onto the cup body 1 for sealing connection. Select an air delivery tube (such as a medical soft tube), connect one end of the air delivery tube to one end of the inflation connector 4, and connect the other end of the air delivery tube to the hydrogen output port of an external hydrogen source. Turn on the switch of the external hydrogen source so that hydrogen enters the cup body 1 through the two-way intake and exhaust valve 3 to fill the space V inside the cup body 1. When the air pressure in the space V reaches the set value of the safety valve 5 and alarms, turn off the switch of the external hydrogen generator to stop the gas supply, and then remove the air delivery tube;

[0042] In this step, the process of connecting the other end of the inflation connector 4 to the two-way intake and exhaust valve 3 is as follows: When the elastic claw 11 presses the elastic cap 9 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 12 and open the upper opening of the valve body 14 downward, and the convex block 13 is inserted into the card slot 10, the other end of the inflation connector 4 is connected to the two-way intake and exhaust valve 3; when the elastic claw 11 is pressed and the convex block 13 leaves the card slot 10, the other end of the inflation connector 4 is separated from the two-way intake and exhaust valve 3. At this time, the elastic cap 9 rises under the elastic force of the spring 12 to seal the upper opening of the valve body 14.

[0043] 3) Apply mechanical external force to the cup body 1 (such as shaking the cup body 1 by hand or placing the cup body 1 on a vibrating table) to make the cup body vibrate for a period of time and then stop vibrating;

[0044] 4) Open the two-way intake and exhaust valve 3. Specifically: Press the elastic cap 9 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 12 and open the upper opening of the valve body 14 to discharge the residual hydrogen in the cup body 1; until there is no more exhaust, unscrew the cup lid 2 to separate the cup lid 2 from the cup body 1, and then pour out the liquid from the cup body 1 or insert a straw into the cup body 1 to drink.

The plug 10 and the hole can be in threaded connection or in tapered interference fit. Correspondingly, the highest water injection water level line 6 is also changed to the lower end of the cup body 1.

[0052] The process of using an electrolyzed hydrogen water cup compatible with an external hydrogen source in this embodiment is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that in step (2), before the safety valve 5 alarms, first observe whether the flow rate and pressure reach the set limit values, and when they reach, turn off the hydrogen generator and remove the gas transmission pipe, instead of waiting until the safety valve 5 alarms.
