Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to hydrogen enrichment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional high-concentration hydrogen-rich water cup. [Background Technology]

[0002] With increasing health awareness, consumer demand for healthy beverages is constantly growing. Hydrogen, as a natural antioxidant, dissolves in liquids, giving them strong reducing power. When consumed, it can neutralize excess reactive oxygen species (free radicals) in the blood and cells, aiding cell metabolism. In recent years, hydrogen-rich water has attracted increasing attention due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolism-boosting health benefits. The dissolved hydrogen in hydrogen-rich water not only effectively neutralizes reactive oxygen free radicals in the body, helping to reduce oxidative stress, delay aging, and improve skin health, but also has an auxiliary effect on improving chronic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes. Therefore, hydrogen-rich water, as a new type of health beverage, is experiencing a rapidly growing market demand.

[0003] However, traditional hydrogen-rich water production equipment is expensive and bulky, failing to meet the needs of general users. Furthermore, existing hydrogen-rich water cups are all double-ended structures: the hydrogen-rich water generator is located at the bottom of the cup, the lid is at the top, and the electrolytic cell is located at the bottom, with the generator serving as a base. This design has the following drawbacks: 1. The electrolytic cell at the base is prone to limescale and tea stains due to prolonged contact with liquid, making it difficult to clean; 2. Hot water use can easily damage the electrolytic cell and proton exchange membrane; 3. There is a higher risk of leakage; 4. It is inconvenient to use and unsuitable for everyday hot beverages.

[0004] Secondly, existing dual-headed hydrogen-rich water cups have a hydrogen-rich water generator at the bottom and a lid on the top. Oxygen released during the electrolysis process of the hydrogen-rich water generator is discharged through a pressure relief hole on the lid to prevent excessive internal pressure from causing leakage or breakage. However, this design has the drawback that the internal cavity cannot be sealed, resulting in lower internal pressure and a lower hydrogen content in the water when the hydrogen-rich water generator is producing hydrogen. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional high-concentration hydrogen-rich water cup that is simple in structure, easy to use, easy to clean and carry, highly safe, and reliably sealed. It can produce hydrogen using room temperature water, as well as when drinking hot water or brewing tea, and is equipped with a pressure alarm control device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multifunctional high-concentration hydrogen-rich water cup includes a cup body and a cup lid. The cup body is used to hold liquid, and the cup lid is sealed to the opening of the cup body.

[0008] An electrolytic cell cover for producing hydrogen by liquid electrolysis is fitted onto the cup lid near the opening of the cup body and is threaded to the port of the cup body.

[0009] The bottom of the electrolytic cell cover is layered with an anode electrode plate, a PE proton exchange membrane and a cathode electrode plate for producing hydrogen by liquid electrolysis. The electrolytic cell cover also has an inner pressure cover that presses and fixes the anode electrode plate, the PE proton exchange membrane and the cathode electrode plate.

[0010] The inner pressure cap is also provided with a threaded discharge hole for electrolytic hydrogen discharge. The threaded discharge hole of the inner pressure cap is threadedly connected to an inner cup located in the inner cavity of the cup body for holding an appropriate amount of room temperature water. A through hole is provided on the bottom side of the inner cup, and a waterproof and breathable membrane is installed at the through hole to facilitate the hydrogen generated by the room temperature water contained in the inner cup during the electrolytic hydrogen production process to enter the heat-container of the outer cup body.

[0011] The bottom of the electrolytic cell cover is also provided with an oxygen venting channel that is connected to the exhaust hole on the end face of the cup cover via an exhaust hose and is used to discharge oxygen generated during electrolysis.

[0012] The inner cavity of the cup lid houses a circuit control board and a lithium battery as a power source. The anode electrode and the cathode electrode are electrically connected to the circuit control board and the lithium battery via wires.

[0013] The circuit control board installed in the cavity inside the cup lid has a waterproof membrane on its surface. The waterproof membrane is a waterproof coating, and the waterproof membrane is formed on the surface of the circuit control board by spraying, brushing or dipping.

[0014] Preferably, a pressure alarm control device, whose end is connected to the liquid inside the electrolytic cell cover, is also installed in the cavity inside the cup lid for detecting the pressure inside the cup.

[0015] Preferably, the inner pressure cover is further fitted with a silicone sealing ring that nests and mates with the mounting groove provided on the electrolytic cell cover, and an internal thread silicone pad is also nested inside the inner pressure cover.

[0016] Preferably, the electrolytic cell cover also contains a silicone protective ring for electrode protection, located around the superimposed anode electrode, the PE proton exchange membrane, and the cathode electrode.

[0017] Preferably, the end face of the cup lid is further fitted with a decorative cover and a decorative piece, and a power button is installed on the side wall of the cup lid.

[0018] Preferably, the electrolytic cell cover is further nested with a silicone sealing gasket for sealing the opening and preventing liquid leakage at the end face of the cup body.

[0019] Preferably, a reinforcing rib ring to enhance the strength of the cover is also fitted around the bottom side of the electrolytic cell cover.

[0020] Preferably, the cup body is a single-layer glass cup, a single-ended double-layer glass cup, or a plastic cup.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0022] 1. The integrated cup lid design also functions as a hydrogen-rich water generator. The lid houses a lithium battery, circuit control board, anode of the electrolysis cell, proton exchange membrane and cathode separating hydrogen and oxygen, oxygen venting channel, and pressure sensor. During operation, liquid is poured into the cup, the lid is tightened to seal the opening, and the cup is then inverted. The hydrogen generator inside the lid then operates. The cathode and anode inside the electrolysis cell electrolyze the water in the cup to generate hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is released into the water through the PE proton exchange membrane, while the oxygen is expelled from the cup through the oxygen venting channel. The circuit control board, installed in the cavity inside the lid, is coated with a waterproof membrane, ensuring sufficient durability and waterproof performance, significantly extending the product's lifespan.

[0023] The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure inside the cup to prevent excessive pressure caused by prolonged hydrogen production, thereby avoiding the risk of the cup breaking, leaking, or exploding. The pressure sensor works in conjunction with the silicone sealing gasket. When the cup lid is tightened to seal the cup opening, the pressure sensor is triggered to ensure that the user will not continue to produce hydrogen without releasing the pressure.

[0024] Secondly, when the cup is placed upright, it serves as a lid. The cup can be filled with any liquid, including boiling water, ice water, tea, or other beverages. When hydrogen production is needed, it can be turned upside down to become a multifunctional high-concentration hydrogen-rich water cup.

[0025] 2. Furthermore, an inner cup is fitted inside the cup body, with its open end spirally sealed to the center of the inner pressure cap. This inner cup holds an appropriate amount of room temperature water and is directly connected to the hydrogen generator. Since the inner cup contains room temperature water, it prevents the hot water in the outer cup from directly contacting the hydrogen-rich water generator inside the cup lid. This isolates the hot water in the cup from the hydrogen generator, thus preventing damage to the generator's electronic components from hot water and other mixtures. A through hole is provided on the bottom side of the inner cup, and the end face of the through hole is sealed with a breathable but waterproof membrane. This allows the hydrogen generated from the electrolysis of room temperature water in the inner cup to enter the heat-container in the outer cup body through the breathable membrane. This transforms the currently limited-function hydrogen-rich water cup, which can only hold room temperature water for hydrogen generation, into a multi-functional device. It can be used to generate hydrogen from ordinary room temperature water, or to simultaneously prepare hydrogen-rich water when drinking hot water, brewing tea, or other mixed beverages.

[0026] 3. During the hydrogen production process, the inside of the cup is a completely sealed space. Therefore, as the internal pressure of the cup increases, the hydrogen content in the water will increase significantly, and the MOV value will increase, making it a truly high-concentration hydrogen-rich water cup.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a multifunctional high-concentration hydrogen-rich water cup includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2. The cup body 1 is a single-ended double-layered glass cup used to hold liquids, and the cup lid 2 seals the opening of the cup body 1. An electrolytic cell cover 3, which is threaded to the end of the cup body 1 and used for liquid electrolysis to produce hydrogen, is fitted onto the cup lid 2 near the opening of the cup body 1. The bottom of the electrolytic cell cover 3 is layered with an anode electrode plate 4, a PE proton exchange membrane 5, and a cathode electrode plate 6 for liquid electrolysis to produce hydrogen. An inner pressure cover 7 is also embedded in the electrolytic cell cover 3 to press and fix the anode electrode plate 4, the PE proton exchange membrane 5, and the cathode electrode plate 6. The center of the inner pressure cover 7 is provided with a threaded discharge hole 70 for discharging electrolyzed hydrogen. An inner cup 71, located in the inner cavity of the cup body 1, is threaded to the threaded discharge hole 70 of the inner pressure cover for holding an appropriate amount of room temperature water. The inner cup 71 is also provided with a through hole 72 on the bottom side. A waterproof and breathable membrane 73 is installed at the through hole 72 to facilitate the entry of hydrogen gas generated by the room temperature water contained in the inner cup 71 during the electrolysis hydrogen production process into the heat-container of the outer cup body 1. The waterproof and breathable membrane 73 has the function of being breathable but not water-permeable. The bottom of the electrolytic cell cover 3 is also provided with an oxygen exhaust channel 30 that is connected to the exhaust hole 20 on the end face of the cup cover 2 through an exhaust hose 8 for the oxygen generated by electrolysis to be discharged from the inner cavity of the cup body. The inner cavity of the cup cover 2 is equipped with a circuit control board 9 and a lithium battery 10 as a power source. The anode electrode plate 4 and the cathode electrode plate 6 are electrically connected to the circuit control board 9 and the lithium battery 10 through wires. The inner cavity of the cup cover 2 is also equipped with a pressure sensor 11 whose end is connected to the liquid inside the electrolytic cell cover 3 for detecting the pressure inside the cup body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, an inner cup 71, which is screw-sealed to the center of the inner pressure cap 7 and fitted inside the inner cavity of the cup body 1, is used to hold an appropriate amount of room temperature water. Since the inner cup 71 holds room temperature water, it avoids the boiling water in the outer cup body from directly contacting the hydrogen-rich generator in the inner cavity of the cup cap when boiling water is used. This isolates the boiling water in the cup body from the hydrogen-rich generator, thereby preventing high-temperature hot water and other mixtures from damaging the generator's electronic components. A through hole is provided on the bottom side of the inner cup, and the end face of the through hole is sealed with a breathable but waterproof membrane, which allows the hydrogen gas from the electrolysis of room temperature water in the inner cup to enter the heat-container of the outer cup body through the breathable membrane. This makes the currently single-function hydrogen-rich water cup multi-functional, which can be used to hold room temperature water to produce hydrogen, or to prepare hydrogen-rich water at the same time when drinking boiling water, brewing tea and other mixed beverages.

[0042] Continue as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a silicone sealing ring 12 is fitted around the inner pressure cover 7, which is nested and fitted with the mounting groove on the electrolytic cell cover 3. An internal thread silicone gasket 13 is also nested inside the inner pressure cover 7. A silicone sealing gasket 14 is also nested at the opening end face of the electrolytic cell cover 3 corresponding to the cup body 1 to seal the opening and prevent liquid leakage. A reinforcing rib ring 15 is also fitted around the bottom side of the electrolytic cell cover 3 to enhance the strength of the cover body. A silicone protective ring 16 is also nested in the electrolytic cell cover 3 around the superimposed anode electrode plate 4, PE proton exchange membrane 5 and cathode electrode plate 6 for electrode protection. A decorative cover 17 and a decorative piece 18 are also attached to the end face of the cup cover 2. A power button 19 is installed on the side wall of the cup cover 2.

[0043] In use, fill the inner cup 71 with an appropriate amount of room temperature water, then screw the open end of the inner cup 71 into the center threaded discharge hole 70 of the inner pressure cover 7 for sealing connection, and fix it as an integral part of the cup lid. Fill the cup body 1 with boiling water or tea, and then screw it into the cup lid 2, which is integrally fixed with the inner cup 71, to ensure that the silicone sealing gasket 14 is sealed to the cup mouth and trigger the pressure sensor 11. Then, invert the entire cup so that the room temperature water dissolved in the inner cup 71 comes into contact with the anode electrode plate 4 and cathode electrode plate 6 in the electrolytic cell inside the electrolytic cell cover 3. Next, turn on the power button, and the anode electrode plate 4 and PE proton exchange... The hydrogen-rich water generator, consisting of membrane 5, cathode electrode 6, and lithium battery 10, begins electrolysis. Anode electrode 4 and cathode electrode 6 generate hydrogen and oxygen through water electrolysis. The hydrogen passes through the PE proton exchange membrane 5 and enters the water in the inner cup 71. The end face of the inner cup 71 is sealed with a breathable but waterproof membrane, allowing the hydrogen generated from the electrolysis of room-temperature water in the inner cup to pass through the breathable membrane into the heat-capacitant material of the outer cup. This enables the currently single-function hydrogen-rich water cup to be used for multiple purposes, as it can be used to produce hydrogen from room-temperature water or to simultaneously prepare hydrogen-rich water when drinking boiled water, brewing tea, or other mixed beverages.

[0044] Oxygen is discharged from the cup through the vent hole on the end face of the cup lid 2 via the oxygen venting channel and the exhaust hose 8. During operation, the pressure sensor 11 monitors the pressure inside the cup in real time. If the pressure is too high, the pressure sensor 11 will trigger an alarm and stop the electrolysis process to prevent the cup body 1 from cracking, leaking, or exploding. During use, ensure that the cup lid 2 is unscrewed periodically to release pressure and prevent pressure buildup due to prolonged hydrogen production. In addition, the hydrogen production time and hydrogen content can be set via the circuit control board 9. Generally, an electrolysis time of 3 to 10 minutes is set. The longer the electrolysis time, the higher the hydrogen content in the water. Users can adjust the hydrogen concentration in real time as needed.

[0045] In this embodiment, the overall structure is sealed by increasing the pressure instead of using the existing pressure relief valve. After the power button is switched on and off multiple times, the pressure inside the cup gradually increases, resulting in a higher hydrogen solubility. Using the cup lid as a hydrogen-rich water generator reduces the risk of leakage. The built-in pressure sensor ensures safe use and prevents accidental damage due to excessive pressure.

[0046] Also see as Figure 7 As shown, when using this device, if you are not drinking hot water or brewing tea while preparing hydrogen-rich water, you can first leave the inner sleeve cup 71 unscrewed at the center threaded discharge hole 70 of the inner pressure cap 7. Fill the cup body 1 with water, tighten the cup cap 2 to ensure that the silicone sealing gasket 14 is sealed to the cup opening, and trigger the pressure sensor 11. Then, invert the entire cup so that the water comes into contact with the anode electrode plate 4 and cathode electrode plate 6 in the electrolytic cell inside the electrolytic cell cap 3. Next, turn on the power button, and the hydrogen-rich water generator composed of the anode electrode plate 4, PE proton exchange membrane 5, cathode electrode plate 6 and lithium battery 10 will begin electrolysis. The anode electrode plate 4 and cathode electrode plate 6 generate hydrogen and oxygen through the electrolysis of water. The hydrogen enters the water through the PE proton exchange membrane 5, and the oxygen is discharged from the cup through the oxygen exhaust channel and exhaust hose 8 from the exhaust hole on the end face of the cup cap 2. During operation, the pressure sensor 11 monitors the pressure inside the cup in real time. If the pressure is too high, the pressure sensor 11 will trigger an alarm and stop the electrolysis process to prevent the cup body 1 from cracking, leaking, or exploding. During use, ensure that the cup lid 2 is unscrewed regularly to release the pressure and prevent pressure buildup due to prolonged hydrogen production. In addition, the hydrogen production time and hydrogen content can be set via the circuit control board 9. Generally, an electrolysis time of 3 to 10 minutes is set. The longer the electrolysis time, the higher the hydrogen content in the water. Users can adjust the hydrogen concentration in real time as needed.

[0047] See as Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the circuit control board 9 installed in the internal cavity of the cup lid 2 has a waterproof membrane 91 on its surface. The waterproof membrane 91 is a waterproof coating, such as polyurethane or fluorocarbon. It is formed on the surface of the circuit control board 9 by spraying, brushing or dipping to ensure that the circuit control board 9 has sufficient durability and waterproof performance, and greatly improves the service life of the product.

[0048] In the above embodiments, the entire hydrogen-rich water cup is designed for inverted hydrogen production and upright drinking after hydrogen production. This avoids scale buildup and foreign matter accumulation caused by prolonged contact between the bottom electrolysis tank and water. It is easy to clean and use, and suitable for various hot beverages. The overall structure is compact and convenient to use. The cup lid has a USB port for battery charging, and the efficient power management of the circuit control board makes it portable, effectively meeting the daily travel and office needs of consumers.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
