Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a hydrogen generating device, and more specifically, to a hydrogen generating device having a detachable filter structure. Background Technology

[0002] Humans have always placed great importance on life, and many medical technologies have been developed to combat disease and prolong human life. Past medical practices were largely reactive, addressing symptoms only after disease occurred, such as surgery, medication, chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer, or the management, rehabilitation, and correction of chronic diseases. However, in recent years, many medical experts have increasingly focused on preventative medicine, such as research into health supplements, screening for and early prevention of hereditary diseases, proactively addressing potential future illnesses. Furthermore, to extend human lifespan, many anti-aging and antioxidant technologies have been developed and widely adopted, including topical skincare products and antioxidant foods / medications.

[0003] Research has found that unstable oxygen (O+), also known as free radicals (harmful free radicals), generated in the human body due to various reasons (such as disease, diet, environment, or lifestyle habits), can mix with inhaled hydrogen to form some water, which is then excreted from the body. This indirectly reduces the number of free radicals in the body, restoring an acidic body to a healthy alkaline state, which can have antioxidant and anti-aging effects, thereby also achieving the effects of eliminating chronic diseases and beauty and health care. Increasing the duration of hydrogen inhalation (e.g., inhaling hydrogen during sleep) can also effectively enhance the efficacy of inhaled hydrogen.

[0004] Currently, commercially available hydrogen generators typically produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water containing electrolytes. Furthermore, when a hydrogen generator produces hydrogen-containing gas, it often carries water vapor, which in turn contains small amounts of electrolytes. Therefore, to ensure users inhale high-purity hydrogen, existing hydrogen generators include filtration or condensation devices to remove electrolytes and impurities from the hydrogen-containing gas. With prolonged use, the filtration or condensation devices may become less effective due to the accumulation of electrolytes and impurities. Additionally, when a hydrogen generator produces hydrogen, the electrolysis process raises the operating temperature, thus increasing the temperature of the generated hydrogen-containing gas. If the condensation device cannot effectively lower the temperature of the hydrogen-containing gas and condense the water vapor, users may inhale residual electrolytes or impurities, reducing the user experience. Therefore, filtration and condensation devices require regular cleaning to maintain their effectiveness. However, since the pipelines in general hydrogen generation equipment are all closed pipelines and have an integrated structure, the entire hydrogen generation equipment needs to be disassembled to clean the filter or condenser, which complicates the cleaning process and reduces convenience.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of hydrogen production equipment to solve the problems of previous technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen generation device with an extractable filter structure, which has a simple structure, is easy to operate and maintain, overcomes the defects of the prior art, improves convenience and installation efficiency, and can effectively improve condensation and filtration efficiency.

[0073] Please see Figures 1 to 4B . Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a hydrogen generation device E with a removable filter structure according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 Showing Figure 1 Functional block diagram of a hydrogen generation device E with a removable filter structure. Figure 3 Showing Figure 1An exploded view of a hydrogen generation device E equipped with an extractable filter structure. Figure 4A Showing Figure 1 Exploded view of water tank 1. Figure 4B Showing Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of humidifier 4. (See attached diagram.) Figures 1 to 4B As shown, the hydrogen generation device E with a removable filtration structure includes a water tank 1, an electrolytic cell 2, an integrated flow channel device 3, a humidifier 4, a filter flow channel device 5, and a condenser 6. The water tank 1 has a containing space 111 to contain electrolyzed water. The electrolytic cell 2 is disposed in the containing space 111 of the water tank 1 and is used to receive electrolyzed water from the water tank 1 for electrolysis to generate and output hydrogen-containing gas into the water tank 1. The humidifier 4 is disposed above the water tank 1 and is used to receive and humidify the hydrogen-containing gas. The humidifier 4 includes a humidification chamber 40 and a gas delivery channel 41, and the humidification chamber 40 and the gas delivery channel 41 are isolated from each other. The filter flow channel device 5 passes through the gas delivery channel 41 of the humidifier 4 and is coupled to the water tank 1, used to receive and filter the hydrogen-containing gas generated by the electrolytic cell 2 and output the filtered hydrogen-containing gas. The condenser 6 is disposed above the humidifier 4 and connected to the filter flow channel device 5. The condenser 6 is used to receive and condense the hydrogen-containing gas output from the filter channel device 5. The integrated channel device 3 is disposed above the humidifier 4 and located between the humidifier 4 and the condenser 6. The integrated channel device 3 connects the condenser 6 and the humidifier 4, and is used to introduce the hydrogen-containing gas output from the condenser 6 into the humidifier 4. The hydrogen generation device E with a removable filter structure of the present invention is a stacked combination structure, and the arrangement from bottom to top is a water tank 1, a humidifier 4, an integrated channel device 3, and a condenser 6.

[0074] In this specific embodiment, the outer walls of the water tank 1 and the humidifier 4 include multiple rib structures 13, and the multiple rib structures 13 form a honeycomb structure. In practice, the shape formed by the rib structures 13 is not limited to this. The multiple rib structures 13 are used to strengthen the structural strength of the water tank 1 and the humidifier 4 to prevent the water tank 1 and the humidifier 4 from deforming due to the pressure difference caused by the generation and flow of hydrogen-containing gas.

[0075] In this specific embodiment, the water tank 1 may include a cover 10 and a tank body 11. The tank body 11 forms a receiving space 111 to receive electrolyzed water, and the cover 10 covers the tank body 11 and the receiving space 111. The electrolytic cell 2 is disposed in the receiving space 111 of the tank body 11. Therefore, the electrolytic cell 2 can be directly immersed in the water contained in the receiving space 111, and the water required for electrolysis can be directly obtained from the receiving space 111, avoiding pipeline connections. The electrolytic cell 2 includes an electrolytic cell fixing plate 21, an electrolytic cell body 210, and an electrode plate assembly 20 disposed in the electrolytic cell body 210. For the sake of simplicity, Figure 2Only portions of the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 in the electrode plate assembly 20 are shown. In this specific embodiment, the electrode plate assembly 20 includes an anode plate 202, a cathode plate 204, and a bipolar electrode plate located between them. These electrode plates are arranged at intervals in the electrolytic cell 210, so an electrode flow channel is formed between two adjacent electrode plates, and all electrode plates form multiple parallel electrode flow channels to electrolyze water therein to produce hydrogen and oxygen, i.e., hydrogen-containing gas. The top of the electrolytic cell 210 has multiple upper openings that can respectively connect the aforementioned electrode flow channels to the upper half of the accommodating space 111, and correspondingly, the bottom of the electrolytic cell 210 also has multiple lower openings (not shown in the diagram). Figure 4A The electrode channel is connected to the lower half of the accommodating space 111. Through the upper and lower openings, the electrolytic cell 210 can receive water from the accommodating space 111 into the electrode channel for electrolysis, and output the hydrogen-containing gas generated by electrolysis from the electrode channel into the accommodating space 111. Therefore, the electrolysis module of the hydrogen generator of the present invention, including its entire housing, is located within the water tank, and the water contained in the water tank can dissipate heat from the electrolysis module. In practice, the hydrogen generator may include a cooling circulation system connected to the accommodating space of the water tank to cool and circulate the water in the accommodating space. At the same time, there is no need for a pipeline connection between the electrolysis module and the water tank to transmit water, avoiding the problem of water and gas leakage caused by pipeline deterioration due to long-term use.

[0076] The anode plate 202 and the cathode plate 204 can extend outward from inside the electrolytic cell 210, such as Figure 4A As shown. The protruding portions of the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 can be located in the holes of the cover 10 of the water tank 1, and contact a power source in the holes to receive the electricity required for electrolysis. Please refer to... Figure 4C , Figure 4C Showing Figure 4A A schematic diagram of the cover 10 from another perspective. (See diagram below.) Figure 4C As shown, the side of the cover 10 facing the accommodating space 111 has a through hole 1020 to allow the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 to be inserted. The cover 10 also has a first fixing part 1022 facing the accommodating space 111, and the first fixing part 1022 includes two fixing rings, each surrounding the through hole 1020, as shown. Figure 4C As shown. Furthermore, Figure 4AThe electrolytic cell 210 has a second fixing part 2108, which includes two annular members surrounding the protruding portions of the anode plate 202 and the cathode plate 204. Therefore, when the electrolytic cell 2 is installed in the water tank 1, its anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 can be located within the through hole 1020, and the fixing annular members of the first fixing part 1022 surrounding the through hole 1020 engage with the annular members of the second fixing part 2108 surrounding the anode plate 202 or cathode plate 204. Through the engagement of the first fixing part 1022 and the second fixing part 2108, the electrolytic cell 2 can be attached to and moved in conjunction with the cover 10; in other words, the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended within the accommodating space 111 of the water tank 1 via the cover 10.

[0077] In practice, when the electrolytic cell 2 electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen-containing gas that enters the containing space 111 of the water tank 1, the hydrogen-containing gas first accumulates at the top of the containing space 111 and is then output upwards to the filter channel device 5. During the gas accumulation process, the pressure inside the water tank 1 increases, causing the cover 10 to bulge slightly. Since the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from and linked to the cover 10, regardless of the degree of upward bulging deformation of the cover 10, the electrolytic cell 2, its anode plate 202, and cathode plate 204 maintain the same relative position with the cover 10 through the connection between the fixing ring of the first fixing part 1022 and the ring of the second fixing part 2108. Similarly, when the electrolytic cell 2 stops electrolyzing or the water tank 1 is depressurized, the cover 10 returns to its original shape or position, and the electrolytic cell 2 is linked to maintain the same relative position with the cover 10. Since the electrolytic cell 2 moves in conjunction with the cover 10 to maintain its relative position, there will be no irreversible displacement between the electrolytic cell 2 and the cover 10 after long-term use, which would lead to water or air leakage. In particular, the parts of the anode plate 202 and the cathode plate 204 that extend from the electrolytic cell body 210 can be completely sealed in the through hole 1020 of the cover 10, so there is no risk that water or air will enter the through hole 1020 and come into contact with the anode plate 202 and the cathode plate 204 due to positional displacement.

[0078] In this specific embodiment, the fixing ring of the first fixing part 1022 and the ring of the second fixing part 2108 are connected to each other by heat fusion. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In practice, any fixing method that can stably connect the two and close the portions of the anode plate and cathode plate extending from the electrolytic shell into the holes of the top cover can be adopted by the hydrogen generator of the present invention.

[0079] like Figure 4CAs shown, the cover 10 has a first positioning structure 1024 on the side facing the accommodating space 111, and a second positioning structure 2100 is also present at the corresponding position on the electrolytic cell body 210 of the electrolytic cell 2. The first positioning structure 1024 and the second positioning structure 2100 can be coupled to each other when the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from the cover 10, and can maintain the freedom of vertical movement of the first positioning structure 1024 and the second positioning structure 2100. Specifically, the first positioning structure 1024 is a positioning hole, and the second positioning structure 2100 is a positioning post. When the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from the cover 10, the second positioning structure 2100 is located in the first positioning structure 1024 and can move vertically. Through the first positioning structure 1024 and the second positioning structure 2100, the lateral displacement between the cover 10 and the electrolytic cell 2 can be suppressed when the cover 10 deforms due to the pressure accumulated in the water tank 1, so as to further suppress water and air leakage. As described above, in this specific embodiment, both first positioning structures 1024 are positioning holes, and both second positioning structures 2100 are positioning posts. However, in practice, the two first positioning structures can also be positioning posts and the two second positioning structures can also be positioning holes, or the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure can each have one positioning post and one positioning hole. This invention does not impose any limitations on this. Furthermore, in this specific embodiment, the positions of the first positioning structures 1024 and the second positioning structures 2100 are located on the sides of the through holes 1020 of the anode plate 202, the cathode plate 204, and the cover 10, and the number is two. However, this invention does not limit their number and position, depending on the needs of the user or designer.

[0080] On the other hand, please refer to the following: Figure 4D as well as Figure 4E , Figure 4D Showing Figure 4A A schematic diagram of the tank body 11 of water tank 1 from another perspective. Figure 4E Showing Figure 4A A schematic diagram of electrolytic cell 2 from another perspective. (See diagram below.) Figure 4D as well as Figure 4E As shown, the tank body 11 of the water tank 1 has a plurality of third positioning structures 1100 at the bottom of its accommodating space 111, and the electrolytic cell body 210 forms a plurality of fourth positioning structures 2102 at its bottom, which correspond to the third positioning structures 1100 on the tank body 11 respectively.

[0081] In this specific embodiment, when the electrolytic cell 2 is disposed within the accommodating space 111 of the water tank 1 and suspended from the cover 10, the third positioning structure 1100 of the tank body 11 of the water tank 1 is movably coupled to the corresponding fourth positioning structure 2102 of the electrolytic cell body 210. Specifically, the third positioning structure 1100 can be a positioning post, while the fourth positioning structure 2102 can be a tubular positioning post. Therefore, the third positioning structure 1100 can be accommodated in the fourth positioning structure 2102. Since the third positioning structure 1100 and the fourth positioning structure 2102 extend vertically, the third positioning structure 1100 can move up and down within the fourth positioning structure 2102, but cannot move laterally. When the electrolytic cell 2 electrolyzes water and produces hydrogen-containing gas that accumulates in the water tank 1, the cover 10 is slightly deformed by the pressure from the accommodating space 111, which in turn causes the electrolytic cell 2 suspended on the cover 10 to move. Alternatively, when the electrolytic cell 2 stops electrolyzing or the water tank 1 is depressurized, the pressure accumulated in the water tank 1 disappears, causing the cover 10 to return to its original shape, which in turn causes the suspended electrolytic cell 2 to move. The third positioning structure 1100 of the tank 11 and the fourth positioning structure 2102 of the electrolytic cell body 210 restrict the relative movement between the electrolytic cell 2 and the tank 11 to only vertical movement. Since the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended on the cover 10 and not fixed to the tank 11 by screws or other means, the pressure on the cover 10 may cause the electrolytic cell 2 to tilt within the accommodating space 111. Therefore, by using the third positioning structure 1100 and the fourth positioning structure 2102, the tank 11 and the electrolytic cell 2 can only move relative to each other vertically, which can prevent the electrolytic cell 2 from tilting in the water tank 1 and causing water and air leakage.

[0082] In this specific embodiment, the number of the third positioning structure 1100 and the fourth positioning structure 2102 are each 3, and they are disposed in... Figure 4D as well as Figure 4E The positions are shown. In practice, the present invention does not limit the number and position of the third and fourth positioning structures, depending on the needs of the user or designer. However, in order to effectively restrict the entire electrolysis module to move only in the vertical direction, the number of the third and fourth positioning structures can be at least two, and they can be distributed in different parts of the bottom of the tank and the electrolysis shell, thus effectively preventing the electrolysis module from tipping over in the water tank. In addition, it should be noted that the first positioning structure 1024 of the cover 10 and the second positioning structure 2100 of the electrolysis tank 210 are coupled to each other. In addition to positioning the relative relationship between the cover 10 and the electrolysis tank 2, they can also allow the electrolysis tank 2 to move up and down as the cover 10 deforms or returns to its original shape.

[0083] In addition, such as Figure 4EAs shown, the bottom of the electrolytic cell 210 has multiple lower openings 2109. As previously described, these lower openings 2109 connect the electrode flow channels formed by multiple electrodes within the electrolytic cell 210 to the lower half of the accommodating space 111. Since the electrolytic cell 2 is located within the accommodating space 111 of the water tank 1 and can be immersed in water, it can directly receive water from the water tank 1 through the lower openings 2109 for electrolysis to generate hydrogen-containing gas. In this way, the electrolytic cell 2 of the hydrogen generator 1 can receive water without pipes, avoiding water and gas leaks caused by pipe deterioration or even detachment due to long-term use.

[0084] In summary, the electrolysis module of the hydrogen generator in this specific embodiment is suspended within the water tank and connected to the tank's top cover, thus being moved by the top cover. When the electrolysis module electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen-containing gas, causing the pressure inside the water tank to rise, the bulging deformation of the top cover under pressure will cause the electrolysis module to move and maintain its relative position with the top cover. Therefore, the electrode plates extending from the electrolysis module remain enclosed within the top cover, preventing irreversible displacement that could lead to water or gas leakage even after prolonged use. Furthermore, the positioning structures on the water tank body, top cover, and electrolysis shell prevent the electrolysis module from shifting or tilting laterally within the water tank, further avoiding the risk of leakage.

[0085] Furthermore, the electrolytic cell fixing plate 21 of the electrolytic cell further includes a partition plate 211. The partition plate 211 can be used to fix the electrolytic cell 2 in the water tank 1 and can divide the water tank 1 into upper and lower layers, so that the electrolyzed water is mainly located in the lower layer, while the hydrogen-containing gas produced by electrolysis is mainly located in the upper layer. In order to maintain the flow between the upper and lower layers, the partition plate 211 has a plurality of flow holes 2110 to connect the upper and lower layers. The electrolytic cell fixing plate 21 can be a one-piece molded structure. In addition, it is understood that those skilled in the art can design the shape of the partition plate 211 according to the needs to provide space for the installation of other components.

[0086] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4F , Figure 4G , Figure 5 and Figure 6B . Figure 4F Showing Figure 1 A diagram showing the combination of the integrated flow channel device 3, the filter flow channel device 5, and the condenser 6. Figure 4G Showing Figure 1 An exploded view of the integrated flow channel device 3, the filter flow channel device 5, and the condenser 6. Figure 5 Showing according to Figure 1 A top view of a hydrogen generation device E equipped with a removable filter structure. Figure 6B According to Figure 5 A cross-sectional view along line segment BB. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 , Figure 4F and Figure 4G As shown, in this specific embodiment, the humidifier 4 is vertically stacked above the water tank 1, the integrated flow channel device 3 is vertically stacked above the humidifier 4, the condenser 6 is fixed above the integrated flow channel device 3, and the filter flow channel device 5 passes through the humidifier 4 and the integrated flow channel device 3 and is directly connected to the condenser 6. The gas delivery channel 41 of the humidifier 4 is a through hole extending vertically upward from the bottom to the top of the humidifier 4. Further, the integrated flow channel device 3 also includes an opening 303 corresponding to the gas delivery channel 41 of the humidifier 4, and the bottom of the filter flow channel device 5 can pass through both the opening 303 of the integrated flow channel device 3 and the gas delivery channel 41 of the humidifier 4 to connect with the water tank 1. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas generated by the water tank 1 can flow directly and sequentially to the filter flow channel device 5 and the condenser 6 without flowing into the interior of the integrated flow channel device 3 and the humidifier 4. In addition, the length of the filter flow channel device 5 can be greater than the combined length of the opening 303 and the gas delivery channel 41. When the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure is assembled, the top of the filter channel device 5 protrudes from the integrated channel device 3. Therefore, the user can hold the top and directly pull out the filter channel device 5 to replace or clean it without disassembling other components or devices, thereby improving convenience and installation efficiency.

[0087] like Figure 4G As shown, in this specific embodiment, the integrated flow channel device 3 includes a fixing structure 304, and the condenser 6 includes a matching structure 605 corresponding to and matching the fixing structure 304. The matching structure 605 of the condenser 6 can be connected to the fixing structure 304 by locking, thereby fixing the condenser 6 onto the integrated flow channel device 3. Since the condenser 6 is located at the very top of the entire hydrogen generation device, and the filter flow channel device 5 is a removable and detachable component, the user can directly disassemble and clean the condenser 6 after removing the filter flow channel device 5, without needing to disassemble other components or devices, thereby improving convenience and installation efficiency.

[0088] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7A as well as Figure 7B . Figure 7A Showing Figure 3 An exploded view of the filter channel device 5. Figure 7B Showing Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the filter channel device 5. (See attached image.) Figure 3 , Figure 7A and 7BAs shown, in this specific embodiment, the filter channel device 5 includes a channel housing 51 with a cavity, and the size of the channel housing 51 corresponds to the size of the gas delivery channel 41 of the humidifier 4 and the opening 303 of the integrated channel device 3. The channel housing 51 has a first end 511 and a second end 512, and the first end 511 is provided with a top cover 501. The first end 511 protrudes from the integrated channel device 3 and is directly connected to the condenser 6, while the second end 512 is connected to the cover 10 of the water tank 1. The second end 512 of the channel housing 51 includes a mounting structure 513, and the cover 10 of the water tank 1 includes an assembly structure 101 that matches the mounting structure 513. When the hydrogen generation device E with a removable filter structure is assembled, the mounting structure 513 of the channel housing 51 can be snapped and tightly fitted onto the assembly structure 101 of the water tank 1. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas generated by the electrolyzer 2 can flow directly from the water tank 1 to the filter channel device 5 without leaking out of the outside of the water tank 1.

[0089] Furthermore, the filter channel device 5 has an opening 5011, and the mounting structure 513 and the assembly structure 101 of the water tank 1 also have openings. That is, the opening 5011 of the filter channel device 5, the cavity of the channel housing 51, the opening of the mounting structure 513, the opening of the assembly structure 101, and the accommodating space 111 of the water tank 1 are interconnected. Therefore, when the electrolyzer 2 of the hydrogen generating device E with the removable filter structure of the present invention electrolyzes the electrolyzed water and generates hydrogen-containing gas, the hydrogen-containing gas flows from the accommodating space 111 of the water tank 1 through the openings of the assembly structure 101 and the mounting structure 513 to the filter channel device 5. Then, after the filter channel device 5 filters the hydrogen-containing gas, the hydrogen-containing gas flows through the opening 5011 to the condenser 6.

[0090] In this specific embodiment, the filter channel device 5 further includes a filter element 52 disposed in the cavity of the channel housing 51 for filtering alkalis, impurities, and electrolytes in the hydrogen-containing gas generated by the electrolytic cell 2. In practice, the filter element 52 may be, but is not limited to, filter cotton. Figure 7BAs shown, the filter channel device 5 further includes two mesh metal elements 53 respectively disposed and fixed at the first end 511 and the second end 512 of the channel housing 51, and the filter member 52 is located between the two mesh metal elements 53. In practice, when the hydrogen-containing gas generated by the electrolytic cell 2 flows from the water tank 1 through the filter channel device 5, the filter member 52 located in the channel housing 51 may move due to the flow of the hydrogen-containing gas. Therefore, the mesh metal elements 53 can limit the movement range of the filter member 52. In addition, the mesh metal elements 53 have a porous structure, so the hydrogen-containing gas can also pass through the mesh metal elements 53 without obstruction. Furthermore, the mesh metal elements 53 may also have a filtering function to filter out alkalis, impurities and electrolytes in the hydrogen-containing gas. In another specific embodiment, the filter channel device may also include only mesh metal elements without filter cotton.

[0091] The hydrogen generating device E with a removable filter structure of the present invention further includes a conductive element (e.g., a metal rod). The conductive element extends downward from the bottom of the filter channel device 5 to the electrolyzed water in the water tank 1. In one embodiment, one end of the conductive element is located at the bottom of the filter channel device 5, and the other end of the conductive element extends into the water tank 1.

[0092] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8A as well as Figure 8B . Figure 8A Showing Figure 3 Exploded view of condenser 6. Figure 8B Showing Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the condenser tube 61 of the condenser 6. (See attached image.) Figure 8A As shown, in this specific embodiment, the condenser 6 includes a base 60 and a condenser tube 61. The base 60 includes an upper base 60A and a lower base 60B that are matched and combined with each other, and the lower base 60B includes a first flow channel 601 and a second flow channel 602, wherein the first flow channel 601 and the second flow channel 602 are isolated from each other. Further, the lower base 60B has a condenser inlet 603 and a condenser outlet 604. The condenser inlet 603 communicates with the first flow channel 601 and is directly connected to the opening 5011 of the filter flow channel device 5 (e.g., Figure 4G and Figure 7A As shown), the condenser outlet 604 connects to the second flow channel 602 and the inlet flow channel 301 of the integrated flow channel device 3 (as shown). Figure 6B (As shown). In practice, the upper body 60A may also include two flow channels corresponding to and matching the first flow channel 601 and the second flow channel 602, so that the seat 60 of the condenser 6 forms two independent and separated flow channels. However, the form of the upper body is not limited to this. The upper body may also be a flat plate without flow channels, and the hydrogen-containing gas flows only in the first flow channel 601 and the second flow channel 602 of the lower body.

[0093] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this specific embodiment, the condenser 6 is approximately L-shaped. When the condenser 6 is assembled, the base 60 of the condenser 6 is mounted on the top surface of the integrated flow channel device 3, and the condenser tube 61 of the condenser 6 is suspended from the side of the integrated flow channel device 3. Furthermore, the length of the base 60 of the condenser 6 is more than two-thirds of the side length of the hydrogen generating device E. Therefore, when the matching structure 605 of the condenser 6 is locked to the fixing structure 304 of the integrated flow channel device 3 (as shown in the image), the condenser 6 is positioned... Figure 4G As shown, the condenser 6 can be more securely fixed to the integrated flow channel device 3 and can support the condenser tube 61. In practice, the length of the condenser 6 base 60 is not limited to this, and the length of the base 60 can also be more than half the side length of the hydrogen generating device E.

[0094] In this specific embodiment, the condenser 6's condenser tubes 61 include a first condenser tube 61A and a second condenser tube 61B, and the lower seat 60B includes a threaded first connecting hole 6011A and a second connecting hole 6011B. One end of the first condenser tube 61A is connected to the first connecting hole 6011A to communicate with the first flow channel 601, and one end of the second condenser tube 61B is connected to the second connecting hole 6011B to communicate with the second flow channel 602. The other ends of the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B that are not connected to the seat 60 can communicate with each other through a connecting pipe, so that the condenser tubes 61 form a single channel. The ends of the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B may also respectively include internal threads that match the first connecting hole 6011A and the second connecting hole 6011B. When the condenser 6 is assembled, the condenser inlet 603, the first flow channel 601, the first condenser tube 61A, the second condenser tube 61B, the second flow channel 602, and the condenser outlet 604 form a single-path condenser flow channel. In this specific embodiment, the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B are arranged horizontally side by side to reduce the volume and height of the hydrogen generating device E with a removable filter structure. In practice, the arrangement of the first and second condenser tubes can also be determined according to design or requirements. Furthermore, the condenser may also include more than two condenser tubes, and multiple connecting pipes can be used to form a single channel for the multiple condenser tubes.

[0095] Furthermore, the condenser 6 further includes a heat dissipation element 63 that contacts and is disposed on the outside of the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B. In this specific embodiment, the heat dissipation element 63 is aluminum extrusion with holes corresponding to the size of the condenser tubes, allowing the condenser tubes to pass through and dissipate heat. In practice, since aluminum has a good thermal conductivity, when hydrogen-containing gas flows through the condenser tube 61, the aluminum extrusion absorbs the heat energy in the hydrogen-containing gas through heat conduction and exchanges heat with the outside air, causing the water vapor in the hydrogen-containing gas to condense into water, thereby improving the condensation efficiency.

[0096] like Figure 8B As shown, the condenser 6 further includes multiple spiral structures 611 respectively disposed within the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B of the condenser tube 61. Figure 8B (Only one condenser tube 61 is shown). In practice, the spiral structure 611 can be an I-shaped spiral column installed in the condenser tube 61 to extend the path length within the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B, that is, to increase the length of the condensation flow channel. Therefore, when hydrogen-containing gas passes through the condenser tube 61 of the condenser 6, the hydrogen-containing gas passes through the condenser tube 61 along the spiral structure 611, and the residence time within the condenser tube 61 is extended, thereby improving the condensation efficiency.

[0097] Please refer to the following: Figure 4B-1 , Figure 4B-2 , Figure 4G and Figure 6B . Figure 4B-1 Showing Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the humidifier 4 from another perspective. Figure 4B-2 A schematic diagram of the aerator 42 is shown. In this specific embodiment, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure includes a valve 32 disposed on an integrated flow channel device 3 and connected to the condenser 6 and the humidifier 4. The integrated flow channel device 3 includes an inlet flow channel 301. The valve 32 includes a first valve port 321 and a second valve port 322. The first valve port 321 is connected to the condensation outlet 604 of the condenser 6, and the second valve port 322 is connected to the inlet flow channel 301 of the integrated flow channel device 3. Further, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure also includes an aerator 42 disposed in the humidification chamber 40 of the humidifier 4. The aerator 42 includes a connecting pipe 420 connected to the inlet flow channel 301 of the integrated flow channel device 3 to input the hydrogen-containing gas output from the condenser 6 into the makeup water of the humidification chamber 40. In practice, a portion of the aerator 42 may be disposed in the makeup water. Figure 6BAs shown, the aerating device 42 is located at the bottom of the humidifier 4, but is not limited thereto. Further, the aerating device 42 may include multiple micro-holes 421. When the condenser 6 outputs condensed hydrogen-containing gas, the hydrogen-containing gas can sequentially flow through the condenser outlet 604, the first valve port 321, the second valve port 322, the inlet gas passage 301, and the connecting pipe 420 of the aerating device 42. Then, it passes through the micro-holes 421 of the aerating device 42 and enters the replenishing water in the humidification chamber 40, forming microbubbles, thus ensuring that the hydrogen-containing gas is fully filtered and humidified by the replenishing water in the humidification chamber 40.

[0098] The water tank 1, humidifier 4, filter channel device 5, condenser 6, and integrated channel device 3 of the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure of the present invention are at the same potential. Furthermore, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure of the present invention may further include a housing (not shown) to house the above-mentioned components, and the water tank 1, humidifier 4, filter channel device 5, condenser 6, and integrated channel device 3 are electrically connected to the housing.

[0099] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4C , Figure 4D as well as Figure 6C . Figure 6C According to Figure 5A cross-sectional view along line segment CC is shown. In this specific embodiment, the hydrogen generating device E with a removable filtration structure further includes an activated carbon tube or activated filter tube 7, a fluid-connected humidifier 4, and an integrated flow channel device 3. As shown, the cover 10 of the water tank 1 includes a cover channel 103, and the housing 11 includes a housing channel 113. The cover channel 103 and the housing channel 113 correspond to each other, the cover channel 103 is isolated from the internal space of the cover 10, and the housing channel 113 is isolated from the accommodating space 111. The bottom of the humidifier 4 has an installation interface 44 and includes a connecting inlet pipe 45 and a connecting outlet pipe 46. The installation interface 44, the connecting outlet pipe 46, the cover channel 103, and the housing channel 113 correspond to each other and are connected. The connecting inlet pipe 45 connects to the humidification chamber 40 and includes an air inlet 451, while the connecting inlet pipe 45 and the connecting outlet pipe 46 are not directly connected. The activated filter tube 7 includes a housing 70, and the top of the activated filter tube 7 can penetrate through the housing channel 113 and the cover channel 103 and engage with the mounting interface 44 to connect with the humidifier 4. Furthermore, the connecting inlet column 45 is higher than the water level of the makeup water in the humidification chamber 40. When the activated filter tube 7 is installed on the humidifier 4, the top of the housing 70 is close to the bottom of the humidifier 4. At this time, a cavity 48 is formed between the housing 70 of the activated filter tube 7 and the bottom of the humidifier 4, and the humidification chamber 40, the air inlet 451 of the connecting inlet column 45, and the cavity 48 are interconnected. In addition, the activated filter tube 7 is used to filter hydrogen-containing gas in the humidifier 4, and the bottom of the activated filter tube 7 includes an air inlet 71 and the top includes an air outlet 72. The air inlet 71 connects to the cavity 48, and the air outlet 72 connects to the mounting interface 44 and the connecting outlet column 46. After the humidifier 4 receives and humidifies the hydrogen-containing gas condensed by the condenser 6, the humidified hydrogen-containing gas flows from the inlet 451 of the connecting inlet column 45 to the cavity 48, and then flows through the inlet 71 to the activated filter tube 7 to filter impurities in the humidified hydrogen-containing gas. Furthermore, the integrated flow channel device 3 further includes an outlet flow channel 302 connecting to the connecting outlet column 46 of the humidifier 4. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas filtered by the activated filter tube 7 flows sequentially from the outlet 72 through the mounting interface 44, the connecting outlet column 46, and the outlet flow channel 302 to output the hydrogen-containing gas from the humidifier 4.

[0100] Furthermore, the hydrogen generating device E, equipped with a removable filter structure, further includes an atomizer 8 coupled to the outlet channel 302 of the integrated flow channel device 3 to receive hydrogen-containing gas, and can selectively generate atomized gas to mix with the hydrogen-containing gas to form a health-promoting gas. The atomizer 8 can generate an atomized gas mixed with hydrogen-containing gas to form a health-promoting gas, wherein the atomized gas can be selected from one or a combination of water vapor, atomized medicine, and volatile essential oils. In a specific embodiment, the atomizer 8 includes an oscillator that atomizes water, atomized medicine, or volatile essential oil added to the atomizer 8 by oscillation to generate atomized gas, and then mixes the mixed gas with the atomized gas to form a health-promoting gas. The atomizer 8 can be selectively turned on or off according to the user's needs to provide the user with the health-promoting gas mixed with atomized gas for inhalation, or to provide only the mixed gas (i.e., hydrogen diluted with a second oxygen) for the user to inhale.

[0101] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figures 6A to 6D . Figure 6D A simplified schematic diagram of the gas flow direction of a hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown. The gas flow direction of the hydrogen-containing gas is indicated by the arrows in the diagram. When the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure of the present invention is in operation, the hydrogen-containing gas generated by electrolyzing water in the electrolytic cell 2 in the water tank 1 first flows from the accommodating space 111 of the water tank 1 through the filter channel device 5 and the opening 5011 of the filter channel device 5, and then flows into the condenser 6 from the condensation inlet 603. It is worth noting that while the condenser tube 61 condenses the water vapor in the hydrogen-containing gas, the condensate generated by the condensation of the hydrogen-containing gas also carries away the residual electrolyte in the hydrogen-containing gas, so the condenser 6 also has a filtering function. Next, the hydrogen-containing gas sequentially enters the humidification chamber 40 of the humidifier 4 through the condensation outlet 604 of the condenser 6, the inlet channel 301 of the integrated channel device 3, and the micro-holes of the finer device 42 of the humidifier 4 to humidify the hydrogen-containing gas. Next, the hydrogen-containing gas flows from the humidification chamber 40 through the outlet channel 302 of the integrated flow channel device 3 and the active filter tube 7, before entering the nebulizer 8. Finally, the nebulizer 8 can be selectively turned on or off according to the user's needs to provide the user with a health-promoting gas containing hydrogen or a mixture of nebulized gases for inhalation.

[0102] Because the water level in the hydrogen generator gradually decreases after producing hydrogen gas, the water tank needs to be replenished periodically after the hydrogen generator has been running for a period of time. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4B , Figure 6B and Figure 6E . Figure 6E A simplified schematic diagram showing the water supply flow direction of a hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 4B and Figure 6B As shown, the humidifier 4 further includes a backflush pipe 47, and the valve 32 includes a third valve port 323, with the backflush pipe 47 connected to the third valve port 323. The hydrogen generator E, equipped with a removable filter structure, further includes a water replenishment pump 308 disposed outside the water tank 1 and connected to the backflush pipe 47. The water replenishment flow direction is as follows... Figure 6E As indicated by the arrows in the diagram. When the hydrogen generator E with a removable filter structure of the present invention is replenished with water, the replenished water can be supplied from the water inlet 307 connected to the humidifier 4 into the humidification chamber of the humidifier 4. Then, the replenished water in the humidification chamber can be directly transported to the condenser 6 through the water pump 308 located outside the water tank 1. Finally, the replenished water flows from the condenser 6 through the filter channel device 5 and back to the water tank 1. It is worth noting that when the replenished water is flushed back from the condenser 6 to the water tank 1, the replenished water also flushes back the alkaline substances and electrolytes remaining on the condenser 6 and the filter channel device 5 into the water tank 1. The first valve port 321 of the valve 32 can be selectively connected to the second valve port 322 or the third valve port 323 depending on the operating state. When the hydrogen generator is operating normally, the first valve port 321 of valve 32 is connected to the second valve port 322 to allow the hydrogen-containing gas condensed by the condenser 6 to flow into the refining device 42 for humidification; when the hydrogen generator is replenishing water, the first valve port 321 of valve 32 is connected to the third valve port 323 to allow the replenished water to flow through the backflush pipe 47 to the condenser 6 and backflush into the water tank 1.

[0103] The filter channel device of the hydrogen generation apparatus with a removable filter structure of the present invention can be in other forms besides the specific embodiments described above. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 7C to 7G . Figures 7C to 7G A cross-sectional view of a filter channel device according to several specific embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 7CAs shown, the filter channel device 5A in this specific embodiment differs from the aforementioned specific embodiments in that the filter component 52A of the filter channel device 5A is a plurality of baffle structures, and each baffle structure includes an arc portion 521 and a hook portion 522 connecting the arc portion 521. The arc portion 521 extends upward, while the hook portion 522 extends downward from the top of the arc portion 521. The baffle structures are staggered in the channel housing 51A to form a filter channel 54. In practice, the arc portion 521 may extend upward along the inner wall of the filter channel device 5A, and the hook portion 522 may extend downward to the right from the top of the arc portion 521, and then downward to the left. The baffle structures may protrude staggeredly from two opposite inner walls of the channel housing 51A toward the cavity of the channel housing 51A, and the baffle structures may also be integrally formed with the channel housing 51A. The filter channel 54 may be an S-shaped channel. When the hydrogen-containing gas generated by water tank 1 flows through the filter channel 54 of the filter channel device 5A, the lower hook 522 of the baffle structure will block the passage of alkalis, impurities, and electrolytes in the hydrogen-containing gas, causing them to adhere to and remain on the baffle structure of the filter channel device 5A, thereby achieving a filtration effect. Similarly, when the hydrogen generator equipped with a removable filter structure is replenished, the replenished water will flow through the filter channel 54 of the filter channel device 5A. At this time, the replenished water will also flush the alkalis, impurities, and electrolytes remaining on the baffle structure back into the water tank. The baffle structure is not limited to... Figure 7C The baffle structure can also be a pattern in the middle. Figures 7D to 7G The filter flow channel devices 5B, 5C, 5D, and 5E are shown in the diagram. In practice, the lower hook of the baffle structure may also extend only towards the lower right or lower left.

[0104] The condenser of the hydrogen generating device with a removable filter structure of the present invention can be in other forms besides the form described in the specific embodiments above. Please refer to... Figure 9 . Figure 9 A cross-sectional view of the condenser tube 61' of a condenser according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 9As shown, in this specific embodiment, the inner wall of the condenser tube 61' has a delay structure 611'. In practice, the inner surface of the condenser tube 61' may have multiple protrusions to form the delay structure 611', thereby increasing the path length of the condensation flow channel. The protrusions may also be formed as internal threads on the inner surface of the condenser tube 61'. In another specific embodiment, the delay structure is not limited to surface protrusions, but also includes other structures that can delay liquid flow, such as a mesh structure. Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the heat dissipation element of the condenser is a plurality of heat dissipation fins. The heat dissipation fins have multiple holes for the condenser tube to pass through. In practice, the heat dissipation fins may be a two-piece combination structure or a three-dimensional wavy structure, thereby increasing the heat dissipation surface area per unit volume. The heat dissipation fins may also not have holes, but instead dissipate heat by surrounding the condenser tube. Further, the plurality of heat dissipation fins may be arranged at a fixed interval.

[0105] In summary, the hydrogen generator with a removable filter structure of the present invention has a separately detachable filter channel device and a condenser. When the filter channel device and condenser need cleaning or the filter components of the filter channel device need to be replaced, the user can directly pull out the filter channel device and disassemble the condenser without disassembling other components or devices, thereby improving convenience and installation efficiency. Furthermore, the condenser of the hydrogen generator with a removable filter structure of the present invention can effectively improve the condensation path and heat dissipation function through a single and extendable flow channel and heat dissipation elements, thereby improving condensation and filtration efficiency.
