[0041] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0042] See Figures 1-2 This invention illustrates a preferred embodiment of a water system comprising:

[0043] Health pot 1, health pot 1 has a receiving cavity;

[0044] Drinking water supply device 2;

[0045] The first valve 6 has its inlet connected to the outlet of the water supply device 2, and its outlet connected to the receiving cavity. The first valve 6 is used to control the opening and closing of the connecting pipe between the water supply device 2 and the health pot 1.

[0046] Hydrogen production device 3 is used to produce hydrogen gas, and the hydrogen gas outlet of hydrogen production device 3 is connected to the receiving cavity.

[0047] The water system of this invention provides water through the drinking water supply device 2 during the hydrogen water tea extraction process. The water is then delivered to the health pot 1 via the first valve 6, ensuring sufficient water for tea extraction. The hydrogen production device 3 generates hydrogen gas through water electrolysis or other hydrogen production technologies and injects it into the health pot 1. The hydrogen gas mixes with water to form hydrogen-rich water, which has stronger permeability and dissolving power, allowing it to more effectively penetrate the cell walls of the tea leaves and fully release beneficial components such as polyphenols, amino acids, and vitamins. Due to the full release of these beneficial components, the tea soup has a richer flavor, a more intense aroma, and higher nutritional value. Simultaneously, the hydrogen gas protects the antioxidants in the tea leaves from oxidation at high temperatures, thus preserving the aroma and nutritional value of the tea soup. Furthermore, the coordination between the first valve 6 and the drinking water supply device 2 enables precise control of the water flow, ensuring an appropriate amount of water is supplied to the health pot 1, eliminating the need for manual water addition which could result in insufficient or excessive water, and ensuring optimal tea extraction conditions. In summary, this water system, by combining precise control and hydrogen-assisted extraction, effectively solves the problem that traditional health pots cannot fully release the beneficial components of tea during the tea extraction process. This not only improves the taste and nutritional value of the tea soup, but also brings users a more convenient and healthier tea-drinking experience.

[0048] In one embodiment, the drinking water supply device 2 can be a bottled water device or other purified water device.

[0049] In one embodiment, the hydrogen production device 3 can be an electrolyzer or other existing hydrogen production equipment.

[0050] See Figures 1-2 In one embodiment, the water system further includes:

[0051] Aerator 4 connects the hydrogen outlet of hydrogen generator 3 to the receiving chamber. Thus, aerator 4 evenly disperses the hydrogen generated by hydrogen generator 3 into the water in health pot 1, ensuring sufficient hydrogen dissolution and improving the concentration and effectiveness of the hydrogen water. Secondly, aerator 4 allows hydrogen to enter the water in the form of tiny bubbles, increasing the contact area between hydrogen and water, thereby improving the dissolution efficiency of hydrogen. Furthermore, aerator 4 generates bubbles, agitating the water and promoting the mixing of hydrogen and water, ensuring uniform distribution of hydrogen water and avoiding localized excessively high or low concentrations. Finally, the uniform dispersion and efficient dissolution by aerator 4 improves the quality of the hydrogen water, making it more suitable for health maintenance or tea extraction.

[0052] See Figures 1-2 In one embodiment, the aerator 4 is disposed inside the health pot 1 to further optimize the dissolution and distribution of hydrogen, ensuring efficient preparation and uniformity of hydrogen water.

[0053] In one embodiment, the water system further includes:

Flow meter 7 is used to detect the amount of water flowing out of the drinking water supply device 2. The first valve 6 is controlled to close based on feedback information from flow meter 7. That is, when flow meter 7 detects that the health pot 1 has reached the set water volume, the first valve 6 is controlled to close by the water system control device based on feedback information from flow meter 7, thus timely blocking the water flow into health pot 1. The flow meter 7 enables the health pot 1 to dispense a fixed amount of water, ensuring precise control of the water flow before it enters health pot 1, preventing excessive or insufficient water from entering health pot 1, and accurately controlling the amount of water entering health pot 1, thus ensuring the operating efficiency of the water system and the quality of the tea.

[0055] In one embodiment, the water system further includes:

[0056] Water pump 5 has its inlet connected to the outlet of flow meter 7, and its outlet connected to the receiving cavity. Water pump 5 is shut down based on feedback from flow meter 7. Specifically, when flow meter 7 detects that the health pot 1 has reached the set water volume, water pump 5 is controlled to shut down by the water system control device based on feedback from flow meter 7, thus timely stopping water pump 5. Water pump 5 can deliver water from water supply device 2 to health pot 1, ensuring that water is delivered on demand and avoiding over- or under-supply. Furthermore, by controlling the water flow, water pump 5 assists the operation of water supply device 2 and health pot 1, ensuring the smooth operation of hydrogen water tea extraction.

[0057] In one embodiment, the water system further includes:

[0058] The purified water tank 8 has its outlet connected to the hydrogen generator 3 to provide a purified water source. Using purified water avoids impurities or minerals in the water from affecting the hydrogen production process, ensuring that the hydrogen generator 3 can produce hydrogen efficiently and stably, thereby improving the purity and quality of the hydrogen produced by the hydrogen generator 3. In addition, purified water can reduce the accumulation of scale and impurities inside the hydrogen generator 3, which helps to extend the service life of the hydrogen generator 3 and other related equipment. Furthermore, since purified water is used in the hydrogen production and tea extraction processes, it ensures the purity and taste of the tea, improving the quality of the final tea beverage.

[0059] In one embodiment, the drinking water supply device 2 is a purified water supply device;

[0060] The water system also includes:

[0061] The second valve 9 has its inlet connected to the outlet of the water pump 5, its first outlet connected to the receiving cavity, and its second outlet connected to the purified water tank 8. The second valve 9 controls the opening and closing of the connecting pipes between the water pump 5 and the health pot 1, as well as between the water pump 5 and the purified water tank 8. The second valve 9 dynamically adjusts the water flow direction, directing water to the health pot 1 or the purified water tank 8 as needed, ensuring the rational allocation of water resources. Simultaneously, it allows the drinking water supply device 2 to replenish purified water to the purified water tank 8 as needed, ensuring that the purified water tank 8 can provide a water source for the hydrogen production device 3.

[0063] The purified water tank 8 is equipped with a removable water seal 20, which can cover the water inlet of the purified water tank 8. When the liquid level detection device 10 detects that the purified water tank 8 is at a low liquid level, the water circuit system control device controls the water circuit system to display a water filling reminder message, so that the user can open the water seal 20 and add water to the purified water tank 8 in time according to the reminder message.

[0064] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the pure water tank 8 is provided with a liquid level detection device 10, which is used to monitor the water level in the pure water tank 8.

[0065] When the liquid level detection device 10 detects that the pure water tank 8 is at a low liquid level, the inlet and outlet of the first valve 6 are opened, and the inlet and outlet of the water pump 5 and the second valve 9 are opened, so that the water output by the drinking water supply device 2 can be delivered to the pure water tank 8.

[0066] When the liquid level detection device 10 detects that the pure water tank 8 is at a high liquid level, the first valve 6, the water pump 5 and the second valve 9 are closed to block the water output from the drinking water supply device 2 from being delivered to the pure water tank 8.

[0067] In one embodiment, the liquid level detection device 10 can be a float-type detection device or a water level gauge.

[0068] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the pure water tank 8 has a drain outlet 81 for discharging pure water from the pure water tank 8.

[0069] The water system also includes:

[0070] A water-sealing plug (not shown in the figure) is detachably installed at the drain outlet 81 and can seal the drain outlet 81.

[0072] The water system also includes:

[0073] The TDS detector 30 is installed in the purified water tank 8. The TDS detector 30 monitors the water quality in the purified water tank 8. When the TDS detector 30 detects that the TDS level in the purified water tank 8 is higher than a set value, the water system control device controls the water system to display a filter replacement reminder. Thus, when the TDS detector 30 detects poor water quality in the purified water tank 8 (i.e., the TDS level in the purified water tank 8 is higher than the set value), the control device issues a filter replacement reminder based on the feedback information from the TDS detector 30, allowing the user to replace the resin filter 60 in a timely manner and ensuring that the resin filter 60 can effectively filter and purify the water entering the purified water tank 8.

[0074] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the inlet of the resin filter element 60 is connected to the water inlet of the pure water tank 8, and the outlet of the resin filter element 60 is connected to the inner cavity of the pure water tank 8. The resin filter element 60 can filter and purify the water entering the pure water tank 8 to improve the purity of the water in the pure water tank 8 so as to meet the hydrogen production requirements of the hydrogen production device 3.

[0075] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the inlet of the resin filter element 60 is connected to the outlet of the drinking water supply device 2, and the outlet of the resin filter element 60 is connected to the inner cavity of the pure water tank 8. The resin filter element 60 can filter and purify the water entering the pure water tank 8 to improve the purity of the water in the pure water tank 8 so as to meet the hydrogen production requirements of the hydrogen production device 3.

[0076] In one embodiment, the water system further includes:

[0077] The first one-way valve 40 connects the outlet of the first valve 6 and the receiving cavity, ensuring that water flows from the drinking water supply device 2 into the health pot 1 in one direction, avoiding water backflow and contamination. In addition, the first one-way valve 40 can also maintain the stability of the internal pressure of the system and prevent pressure fluctuations from affecting the operation of the equipment.

[0078] In one embodiment, the water system further includes:

[0079] The second one-way valve 50 connects the hydrogen outlet of the hydrogen generator 3 and the receiving cavity, ensuring that hydrogen flows from the hydrogen generator 3 into the health pot 1 in one direction, avoiding the safety hazards caused by hydrogen backflow. In addition, the second one-way valve 50 can also ensure that hydrogen enters the health pot 1 smoothly, maintain the hydrogen concentration in the hydrogen water, and improve the tea extraction effect.

[0080] See Figures 1-2 In one embodiment, the inner cavity of the pure water tank 8 is equipped with a UV lamp 70, which is connected to a control device. The UV lamp 70 is used to sterilize and disinfect the water in the pure water tank 8, ensuring the safety of the pure water in the pure water tank and ensuring the normal operation and lifespan of the electrolytic cell.

[0081] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a water production device, including the water system described above.

[0082] The water production equipment of this utility model, due to the adoption of the aforementioned water system, also relies on the water supply device 2 to provide water during the hydrogen water tea extraction process. Water is delivered to the health pot 1 via the first valve 6, ensuring sufficient water in the health pot 1 for tea extraction. The hydrogen production device 3 generates hydrogen gas through water electrolysis or other hydrogen production technologies and injects it into the health pot 1. The hydrogen gas mixes with water to form hydrogen-rich water. Hydrogen-rich water has stronger permeability and dissolving power, enabling it to more effectively penetrate the cell walls of tea leaves and fully release beneficial components such as polyphenols, amino acids, and vitamins. Due to the full release of these beneficial components, the tea soup has a richer taste, a more intense aroma, and higher nutritional value. Simultaneously, hydrogen gas protects the antioxidants in the tea leaves from oxidation at high temperatures, thus preserving the aroma and nutritional value of the tea soup. Furthermore, the coordination of the first valve 6 and the water supply device 2 enables precise control of the water flow, ensuring an appropriate amount of water is supplied to the health pot 1, eliminating the need for manual water addition which could result in insufficient or excessive water, and ensuring optimal tea extraction conditions. In summary, this water system, by combining precise control and hydrogen-assisted extraction, effectively solves the problem that traditional health pots cannot fully release the beneficial components of tea during the tea extraction process. This not only improves the taste and nutritional value of the tea soup, but also brings users a more convenient and healthier tea-drinking experience.
