[0019] According to the Fig. Figures 1 to 5 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.

[0020] The present utility model provides a hydrogen-generating drinking cup comprising a cup body 10, wherein a cup chamber 14 for receiving water is located in the cup body 10, wherein an electrolysis assembly 80 is arranged in the cup chamber 14; wherein the electrolysis assembly 80 serves to electrolyze the water contained in the cup chamber 14 in order to produce hydrogen.

[0021] By placing an electrolysis unit 80 in the cup chamber 14 of the hydrogen-generating drinking cup provided above, the water contained in the cup chamber 14 can be directly electrolyzed to produce hydrogen without the need for an additional hydrogen generation device. This simplifies the usage process and provides the user with convenient access to hydrogen-rich water. The overall structure performs the core function solely through the cup body 10, cup chamber 14, and electrolysis unit 80, resulting in a small number of components and a high degree of integration. This reduces the overall volume, facilitates daily transport and use, and simultaneously ensures immediate hydrogen generation through electrolysis to meet the user's need for convenient hydrogen-rich drinking water.

[0022] In particular, the electrolysis unit 80 is located at the bottom of the cup chamber 14. This allows the water to completely cover the electrolysis unit 80 under the influence of gravity, thus ensuring stable electrolysis and continuous hydrogen production.

[0023] In the present embodiment, the electrolysis assembly 80 comprises a positive electrolysis plate 30, a negative electrolysis plate 40, a positive guide column 31, and a negative guide column 41, wherein the positive guide column 31 is rigidly connected to the positive electrolysis plate 30, and the negative guide column 41 is connected to the negative electrolysis plate 40. The direct connection between the guide column and the electrolysis plate allows for efficient current transfer, ensuring a stable power supply during the electrolysis process.

[0024] In particular, the base of the cup body 10 has a circuit chamber 70, wherein the circuit chamber 70 and the cup chamber 14 are arranged independently of each other, and a main circuit board 71 is arranged in the circuit chamber 70, the main circuit board 71 being electrically connected to the positive conductor 31 and the negative conductor 41. The main circuit board 71 is completely isolated from the water area to prevent electrical interference caused by water ingress. Simultaneously, it is directly connected to the positive and negative conductor 41 via the main circuit board 71, thus providing a stable current transmission path to the electrolysis assembly 80. The independent chamber design also ensures an orderly circuit arrangement and takes into account both electrical safety and power supply stability.

[0025] A sealing structure 50 is provided on the positive guide column 31 and on the negative guide column 41; the sealing structure 50 provides a sealing separation between the circuit chamber 70 and the cup chamber 14; the sealing structures 50 on the positive guide column 31 and the negative guide column 41 can completely prevent contact between the water in the cup chamber 14 and the circuit chamber 70 and thus further ensure electrical safety.

[0026] The positive electrolysis plate 30 and the negative electrolysis plate 40 are fixedly arranged, offset from each other. This fixed and offset arrangement prevents direct contact and short circuits between the electrodes. Simultaneously, it increases the contact area with the water, ensuring a complete electrolysis reaction and stable hydrogen production, thus making the operation of the assembly safer and more efficient.

[0027] The positive electrolysis plate 30 can consist of a titanium-coated electrode, a platinum electrode or an iridium electrode, while the negative electrolysis plate 40 can be made of a palladium alloy electrode, a platinum alloy electrode, a nickel alloy electrode or a carbon fiber electrode.

[0028] In particular, the sealing structure 50 can consist of a sealing ring and a guide rod, wherein the positive guide column 31 and the negative guide column 41 are each guided by the guide rod. The sealing ring is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the guide rod, where it is clamped and compressed.

[0029] In the present embodiment, the positive electrolysis plate 30 and the negative electrolysis plate 40 are arranged offset.

[0030] In the present embodiment, the positive electrolysis plate 30 and the negative electrolysis plate 40 are arranged vertically offset.

[0031] A power supply control module is arranged on the mainboard 71, the power supply control module forming a power switch 72 on the cup body 10; a charging port is provided on the mainboard 71, the charging port on the cup body 10 forming a charging socket. In this way, the user can directly switch the electrolysis assembly 80 on and off, simplifying operation; the charging port, in combination with the charging socket on the cup body 10, provides the mainboard 71 with a convenient charging path, thus eliminating the need for frequent replacement of the power supply 73, further improving the ease of use and the endurance of the hydrogen-generating drinking cup.

[0032] In the present embodiment, a partition plate 20 is arranged in the cup chamber 14, with an electrolysis zone 22 formed between the partition plate 20 and the bottom of the cup chamber 14. The electrolysis assembly 80 is arranged in the electrolysis zone 22. The partition plate 20 is provided with several water passage openings 21, and water enters the electrolysis zone 22 through these openings. The design of the partition plate 20 prevents accidental contact with the electrolysis assembly 80. The water passage openings 21 allow a smooth flow of water from the cup chamber 14 into the electrolysis zone 22, ensuring that the electrolysis assembly 80 always has sufficient water available for the reaction.

[0033] In particular, the cup body 10 comprises a cup lid 11, a cup section 12, and a base 13, wherein the cup lid 11 is fixedly attached to the upper end of the cup section 12, and the base 13 is fixedly mounted to the lower end of the cup section 12, with the electrolysis assembly 80 being arranged in the base 13. The electrolysis assembly 80 is housed in the base 13, thus utilizing the space of the base 13 to compactly integrate the core functional elements. As a result, the cup section 12 is solely responsible for water storage, which further optimizes the functional division of the overall structure and improves user-friendliness and ease of maintenance.

[0034] The cup part 12 is ring-shaped and hermetically sealed at the top and bottom by the base 13 and the cup lid 11. In this way, the cup part 12 and the base 13 are formed independently of each other and detachably connected by the connecting structure 60. This not only facilitates separate processing during production and reduces manufacturing complexity, but also allows for subsequent disassembly of the base 13 for maintenance of the internal electrolysis assemblies 80 or the main circuit board 71. Furthermore, individual components can be replaced separately if damaged, thus reducing the cost of a complete replacement. This significantly improves both the product's ease of production and its practical usability during subsequent maintenance.

[0035] Operating procedure: The cup lid 11 is opened and an appropriate amount of water is poured into the cup chamber 14 of the cup body 12. The water flows through the water passage openings 21 of the partition plate 20 into the electrolysis area 22. After the cup lid 11 is securely closed, if the power supply to the power supply unit 73 is insufficient, the main board 71 can be charged via the charging port in the circuit chamber 70 of the socket 13. After full charging, the protective cover is closed. Then the power switch 72 on the cup body 10 is activated to turn on the power supply control module of the main board 71, which starts the electrolysis assembly 80. The positive electrolysis plate 30 and negative electrolysis plate 40 electrolyze the water in the electrolysis area 22 to produce hydrogen gas.The sealing structure 50 (which can be a sealing ring with a guide pin) separates the beaker chamber 14 from the circuit chamber 70 to prevent water ingress. After hydrogen production is complete, the power supply is switched off, the beaker lid 11 is opened, and the hydrogen-enriched water can be consumed. For subsequent maintenance, the beaker section 12 can be detached from the base 13 via the connecting structure 60 to inspect the electrolysis assembly 80 or the main circuit board 71. After use, the beaker chamber 14 must be cleaned and stored properly.

[0036] The circuit chamber 70 is located in the socket 13.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the cup part 12 and the base 13 are each formed independently of one another, with the cup part 12 having a detachable connection to the base 13 by means of a connecting structure 60. This makes it possible to manufacture the two parts separately and then assemble them; on the other hand, the base 13 can be easily disassembled during later use to service the internal electrolysis assembly 80 or the main circuit board 71. Furthermore, if a single component is damaged, it can be replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs and ensuring both ease of production and practical usability during subsequent maintenance.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cup part 12 and the base 13 are integrally formed.

[0039] A power supply unit 73 is located at the base of the cup body 10 and is electrically connected to the electrolysis unit 80. Power is supplied via an integrated battery. This integrated battery design eliminates the need for an external power supply unit 73 to power the electrolysis unit 80. This significantly increases the portability of the hydrogen-generating drinking cup, allowing users to use it in various situations, such as outdoors or in the office.

[0040] The above-mentioned are merely improved embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model, and all modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made in accordance with the spirit and principles of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
