Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a breather and an air supply method therefor, and more particularly to a breather capable of supplying hydrogen and an air supply method therefor. [Background technology]

[0002] The human body is often affected by foreign substances or has abnormal metabolism, which causes the production of bad radicals (peracids or peroxides) in the human body. These bad radicals will always bring inflammation, stiffness, aging, cancer or cardiovascular disease to the human body. Hydrogen has a strong reducing power, which can reduce the damage caused by bad radicals to cells, increase immunity, reduce the infringement of chronic diseases and promote health.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art has proposed a breather that generates hydrogen and allows the user to absorb it when breathing. In other words, this hydrogen breather provides a means for the user to ingest hydrogen through the respiratory system. To provide a gas suitable for human absorption, hydrogen breathers often produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water. Since electrolysis is a continuous process, hydrogen is also generated without interruption. However, the human body's breathing action has a certain rhythm, and there is a pause or exhalation between two inhalations. If the hydrogen breather continues to supply hydrogen even when the user exhales or pauses, this hydrogen will not be absorbed by the human body and will be wasted.

[0004] Based on the above, we propose better improvement measures as an urgent issue for the industry. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] A primary object of the present disclosure is to provide a breather and a breather air supply method that can supply air in sync with the breathing rhythm of a user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present disclosure provides: an electrolytic cell having an exhaust port; a valve connected to the exhaust port of the electrolytic cell; an air reservoir connected between the valve and the electrolytic cell; an intake port connected to the valve; and a pressure sensor connected to the intake.

[0007] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present disclosure provides: Electrolyzing water in an electrolytic cell connected to the air inlet via a valve, continuously generating gas, and supplying the gas to the air inlet; when the air pressure at the intake port falls below a first reference value, gas is supplied from the electrolytic cell to the intake port and the valve is opened so that gas in the gas storage chamber is supplied to the intake port; and when the air pressure at the intake port exceeds a second reference value, stopping the supply of gas from the electrolytic cell to the intake port and closing the valve so that gas is supplied from the electrolytic cell to the air storage chamber.

[0008] Therefore, the advantage of the present disclosure is that the gas generated in the breather is stored in the gas storage chamber during pauses between breaths or when the user exhales, and is released all at once when the user inhales. Therefore, all the generated gas is supplied to the user for intake and absorption at the appropriate time, which not only increases the efficiency of absorption and the total amount of absorption, but also avoids the waste of the generated hydrogen gas, thereby indirectly saving the use of consumables.

[0009] The breather further includes a three-way valve connecting the valve, the intake port, and the pressure sensor.

[0010] In the breather, the air storage chamber has elasticity.

[0011] In the breather, the air storage chamber is a balloon. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] See Figure 1. The present disclosure provides an electrolytic cell 10, a valve 20, an air inlet 30, and a pressure sensor 40, optionally including a three-way valve 50 and a breather reservoir 60.

[0014] The electrolytic cell 10 has an exhaust port 11. The electrolytic cell 10 is connected to a pure water source, and water can be supplied from the pure water source. When the pure water is electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell 10, hydrogen and oxygen are generated. The hydrogen gas flows to the exhaust port 11, and the oxygen is discharged to the environment.

[0015] Valve 20 is connected to exhaust port 11 of electrolytic cell 10, and intake port 30 is connected to valve 20. In addition, pressure sensor 40 is connected to intake port 30, and by detecting the pressure at intake port 30, it is possible to control the opening or closing of valve 20. In this embodiment, three-way valve 50 connects valve 20, intake port 30, and pressure sensor 40, and therefore pressure sensor 40 can measure the pressure at intake port 30.

[0016] The gas reservoir 60 is connected between the valve 20 and the electrolytic cell 10. Preferably, the gas reservoir 60 has elasticity so that the volume can be increased when the internal gas is increased, so as to avoid the pressure in the gas reservoir 60 being too large. In this embodiment, the gas reservoir 60 is a balloon.

[0017] The present disclosure may also include a water-vapor separator 70 connected between the valve 20 and the electrolytic cell 10. Specifically, the water-vapor separator 70 is connected between the gas storage chamber 60 and the electrolytic cell 10. The water-vapor separator 70 is used to remove excess water in the gas supplied from the electrolytic cell 10.

[0018] With the above configuration, the present disclosure also provides a breather air supply method. First, water is electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell 10, and gas is continuously generated and supplied to the air inlet 30. In this embodiment, hydrogen gas generated in the electrolytic cell 10 is supplied to the air inlet 30, but this is not limited to this. In addition, when the pressure sensor 40 detects that the air pressure at the air inlet 30 falls below a first reference value, the valve 20 opens to communicate the electrolytic cell 10 with the air inlet 30, so that the gas generated in the electrolytic cell 10 can be supplied to the air inlet 30. When the pressure sensor 40 detects that the air pressure at the air inlet 30 exceeds a second reference value, the valve 20 closes, so that the electrolytic cell 10 and the air inlet 30 are not communicated with each other, and the electrolytic cell 10 stops supplying gas to the air inlet 30.

[0019] The electrolytic cell 10 continuously electrolyzes water to generate gas, and continues to generate gas even when the valve 20 is closed. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the electrolytic reaction, the gas generated when the valve 20 is closed is stored in the air storage chamber. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air storage chamber has elasticity or is a balloon, so that after the gas generated when the valve 20 is closed enters the air storage chamber, the air storage chamber expands, but the degree of increase in air pressure is small. When the valve 20 opens due to a decrease in air pressure at the air intake 30, the air intake 30 communicates with the electrolytic cell 10 and the air storage chamber at the same time, and since the pressure in the air storage chamber is high, the gas stored in the air storage chamber is released at once to the air intake 30, and the user can absorb it.

[0020] From the above, the breather and the method of supplying gas disclosed herein can be synchronized with the rhythm of the user's breathing, and the gas generated by the breather can be stored in the gas storage chamber during pauses between breaths or when the user exhales, and can be released all at once when the user inhales. Therefore, all the generated gas is supplied to the user for intake and absorption at the appropriate time, which not only increases the efficiency of absorption and the total amount of absorption, but also avoids the waste of the generated hydrogen gas, thereby indirectly saving on the use of consumables.
