Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrolytic water hydrogen production, and specifically, to a device capable of drying the moisture in electrolytic water hydrogen production. Background Technique

[0002] Electrolytic water hydrogen production is an important hydrogen production method. It decomposes the hydrogen element in water through electrolyzing water to obtain hydrogen. However, the hydrogen generated during the electrolysis process usually contains moisture, which causes inconvenience to subsequent hydrogen storage and transportation. The presence of moisture not only affects the purity of hydrogen, but may also corrode the hydrogen storage equipment and transportation pipelines, reducing their service life.

[0003] Currently, when hydrogen is obtained by electrolyzing the hydrogen element in water, the gas will contain some moisture. In order to obtain sufficiently dry hydrogen, a device capable of effectively removing the moisture in electrolytic hydrogen is required. Such a device can ensure the quality of hydrogen, facilitate subsequent storage and transportation, and reduce the corrosion risk to equipment. In view of this, we propose a device capable of drying the moisture in electrolytic water hydrogen production. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device capable of drying the moisture in electrolytic water hydrogen production to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a device capable of drying the moisture in electrolytic water hydrogen production, including a power cord plug. One end of the power cord plug is fixedly connected to a plastic shell. An air inlet nozzle is arranged on the surface of the plastic shell. One end of the air inlet nozzle is provided with a silica gel tube. The silica gel tube is provided with a water collecting bottle at the end far away from the air inlet nozzle. A drying tank and an ionized hydrogen gas tube are arranged in the inner cavity of the plastic shell. The water collecting bottle is movably connected to the side of the drying tank far away from the plastic shell through a silica gel tube. One side of the drying tank close to the plastic shell is movably connected to one end of the ionized hydrogen gas tube through a silica gel tube. The end of the ionized hydrogen gas tube far away from the silica gel tube penetrates through the surface of the plastic shell.

[0006] As a further improvement of this technical solution, a number of carbon brushes are arranged in the inner cavity of the ionized hydrogen gas tube, and a humidity sensor is arranged at the end of the ionized hydrogen gas tube close to the silica gel tube.

[0007] As a further improvement of this technical solution, a high-voltage transmission line is arranged on the surface of the carbon brush, and a negative ion generator module is fixedly connected to the end of the high-voltage transmission line far away from the carbon brush.

[0008] As a further improvement of this technical solution, a control cable PCB is arranged in the inner cavity of the plastic shell, and a high-voltage detection indicator light, a humidity detection indicator light and a working indicator light are arranged on the top of the plastic shell.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0010] The device for drying the moisture in electrolyzed water for hydrogen production is applied to hydrogen-rich water. The main function of the hydrogen-rich water device is to make hydrogen carry a negative charge and then introduce it into water, making the water become weakly alkaline water, which can improve the taste of water. Weakly alkaline water is more beneficial to human health. However, a small amount of moisture in the gas generated by normal electrolysis will contaminate the water that originally needs to be hydrogen-rich. The main function of this device is to filter the moisture in the hydrogen of electrolyzed water, so that the gas is clean without other impurities when hydrogen is introduced into drinking water, and will not contaminate the drinking water.

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0017] In addition, in the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the present utility model provides a device for drying the moisture in electrolytic water hydrogen production, including a power cord plug 1. One end of the power cord plug 1 is fixedly connected to a plastic shell 10. An air inlet nozzle 8 is arranged on the surface of the plastic shell 10. One end of the air inlet nozzle 8 is provided with a silica gel tube 3. The end of the silica gel tube 3 far away from the air inlet nozzle 8 is provided with a water collecting bottle 9. A drying tank 11 and an ionized hydrogen gas tube 6 are arranged in the inner cavity of the plastic shell 10. The water collecting bottle 9 is movably connected to one side of the drying tank 11 far away from the plastic shell 10 through the silica gel tube 3. One side of the drying tank 11 close to the plastic shell 10 is movably connected to one end of the ionized hydrogen gas tube 6 through the silica gel tube 3. The end of the ionized hydrogen gas tube 6 far away from the silica gel tube 3 passes through the surface of the plastic shell 10. When hydrogen enters the water collecting bottle 9, since the material of the water collecting bottle 9 is usually glass or other materials with good heat conduction performance, its surface temperature is relatively low. When the humid hydrogen contacts these colder surfaces, the moisture in it will condense due to the temperature drop, forming water droplets and gathering on the inner wall of the water collecting bottle 9. The hydrogen that has been preliminarily dehumidified by the water collecting bottle 9 will continue to enter the drying tank 11 to further remove the remaining moisture.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of carbon brushes 7 are arranged in the inner cavity of the ionized hydrogen gas tube 6. A humidity sensor 5 is arranged at one end of the ionized hydrogen gas tube 6 close to the silica gel tube 3. The carbon brushes 7 are connected to a high-voltage transmission line 4. When the high-voltage transmission line 4 is energized, the carbon brushes 7 will generate negative ions. These negative ions combine with the dried hydrogen, so that the hydrogen is charged negatively. This process is crucial for the preparation of hydrogen-rich water, because the negatively charged hydrogen can make the water weakly alkaline when introduced into the water, thus improving the taste of the water and being more beneficial to human health. By the combination of the negative ions generated by the carbon brushes 7 and the hydrogen, the ionization process of the hydrogen is promoted, so that the hydrogen can be better dried and ionized.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, further, a high-voltage transmission line 4 is arranged on the surface of the carbon brush 7. One end of the high-voltage transmission line 4 far away from the carbon brush 7 is fixedly connected to a negative ion generator module 2. The negative ion generator module 2 plays a core role in this device. By generating negative ions to make the hydrogen charged negatively, it not only improves the purity of the hydrogen, but also improves the application effect of the hydrogen, such as the preparation of hydrogen-rich water. At the same time, the negative ion generator module 2 also cooperates with other components (such as the humidity sensor 5, the high-voltage detection indicator light 13, etc.) to ensure the safe and stable operation of the device.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, specifically, a control cable PCB 12 is provided inside the inner cavity of the plastic housing 10. A high-voltage detection indicator light 13, a humidity detection indicator light 14, and a working indicator light 15 are provided on the top of the plastic housing 10. The control cable PCB 12 is installed inside the plastic housing 10, and it is ensured that all indicator lights are correctly connected. The working state of the device is monitored in real time through the indicator lights, which facilitates timely problem discovery.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in addition, the water collection bottle 9 is usually made of a material with good heat conductivity, such as glass, which can ensure that the moisture in the hydrogen can be quickly condensed. The condensed moisture will flow down along the inner wall of the water collection bottle 9 and finally gather at the bottom of the bottle. The moisture at the bottom of the water collection bottle 9 can be removed regularly through the drain port or opening. The shape design of the water collection bottle 9 is conducive to the collection and removal of moisture. For example, the bottle mouth is smaller and the bottle body is larger, which can reduce the possibility of hydrogen escape and increase the condensation area at the same time.

[0023] In summary, the working principle of this solution is as follows:

[0024] First, plug the power cord plug 1 of the plug into a 220V voltage. Then, the hydrogen generated by electrolyzing water is connected to the air inlet nozzle 8 on the surface of the plastic housing 10 through the silica gel tube 3. The hydrogen enters the water collection bottle 9 through the silica gel tube 3. Using the principle and material of the water collection bottle 9, when the hydrogen enters, it meets the glass material and is cooled and liquefied, leaving some water vapor. Subsequently, the hydrogen enters the drying tank 11, and the remaining moisture is adsorbed by the particles inside the drying tank 11. Finally, the hydrogen enters the ionized hydrogen tube 6 and is ionized. The humidity in the hydrogen can be detected through the humidity sensor 5. When the humidity exceeds the preset humidity value, the humidity detection indicator light 14 will light up. The generation of the ionization effect is achieved by supplying power to the negative ion generator module 2 through the power cord plug 1 and transmitting it through the high-voltage transmission line 4 to the carbon brush 7 inside the ionized hydrogen tube 6, thereby generating negative ions. The negative ions combine with the dried hydrogen to produce hydrogen with a negative charge. After the ionized hydrogen is introduced into the water, hydrogen-rich water can be produced. The high-voltage detection indicator light 13 will monitor whether the high voltage is normal under the drive of the control cable PCB 12 and display it through the high-voltage detection indicator light 13. The working indicator light 15 indicates whether the product is powered on and working properly.

[0025] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
