Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating hydrogen, and more particularly to a hydrogen generator that generates hydrogen and is used to absorb hydrogen.

Background Art

[0002] Free radicals are substances generated by the metabolism of oxygen in the human body and may also be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, smoking, air pollution, psychological stress, night shifts, and unhealthy lifestyles. If excessive amounts of harmful free radicals accumulate, the aging of the body accelerates and the likelihood of getting sick increases. Recently, it has been known that hydrogen plays a role as a natural antioxidant that suppresses inflammation, delays cell death, and enhances metabolism. Hydrogen molecules are extremely small and can easily penetrate various substances, pass through the cell membranes in the human body, and enter deep into the cell nucleus and free radical production sites. Therefore, inhaling hydrogen is an effective method for suppressing free radicals. Currently, most hydrogen inhalation devices operate based on electrolysis technology. For example, the Chinese Patent Application No. CN110818057A, "Dual-functional hydrogen-rich cup capable of long-term hydrogen inhalation", discloses obtaining hydrogen by electrolysis, but it has the disadvantages of high manufacturing costs and generating an odor and a strange smell.

[0003] In addition, for example, Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN111329143B, "Portable Hydrogen-Oxygen Mixed Breathing Mask", discloses a method for producing hydrogen by chemical reaction, and Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN105084468B, "Alloy Ceramic Material for Producing Hydrogen-Rich Water, Its Production Method and Application", discloses producing hydrogen-rich water using an alloy ceramic material as a hydrogen production material. The alloy ceramic material consists of a base material component, a hydrogen-rich component, an antibacterial component, and a binder, and is fired into a spherical, layered, or cylindrical shape, and may form a layered functional layer or a microporous structure to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen production. However, its disadvantages are as follows. First, the cost increases because the powder is fired and combined into a lump. Second, after agglomeration, when it is made into a layered and microporous shape to increase the contact surface with water, a change in the mass-to-volume ratio occurs, but when it is separated from the water surface, it causes a decrease in the efficiency of hydrogen production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1-2, the hydrogen generator of the present invention includes a hydrogen suction machine 10, and the hydrogen suction machine 10 includes a cylindrical tank body 20, a submerged container 30, and a hydrogen generating agent medicine pack 40. A cylinder main body 21 is provided in the tank body 20. One end of the cylinder main body 21 is an opening 22 that serves as a passage part for putting objects. The cylinder main body 21 serves as a heat insulation function, and a transparent window 23 used for observing the inside of the cylinder main body 21 is provided on its side surface. A male thread 221 is provided on the outer edge of the opening 22.

[0019] The tank body 20 incorporates a submerged container 30. The submerged container 30 is hollow and has a specific gravity greater than that of water. The submerged container 30 is made of plastic or stainless steel. Since the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 is packed in the submerged container 30, the combined specific gravity of the submerged container 30 and the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 is still greater than that of water, causing them to sink in water. The hollow submerged container 30 is filled with the hydrogen generating agent packet 40, and when water is injected into the submerged container 30, the generated hydrogen emerges from the hollow submerged container 30. The hydrogen generating agent packet 40 contains a hydrogen generating powder composed of calcium oxide (CaO), aluminum powder (Al), and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). The hydrogen generating agent of the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 is formed by mixing 40% - 55% calcium oxide and 40% - 60% aluminum powder, and the mixed hydrogen generating agent is wrapped in a non-woven fabric. The specific gravity of the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 wrapped in the non-woven fabric is usually smaller than that of water, causing it to float in water, reducing the contact between the hydrogen generating agent and water, and ultimately affecting the efficiency of hydrogen generation. Therefore, the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 and the submerged container 30 are combined to effectively generate hydrogen. Appropriately less than 15% sodium carbonate is mixed in to enhance the catalytic reaction. The submerged container 30 enters the cylindrical body 21 of the tank body 20 together with the hydrogen generating agent packet 40, water is injected, the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 is immersed in water, and a chemical reaction begins. After 2 minutes, hydrogen gas is generated while heat starts to be released. Since the cylindrical body 21 serves as a heat insulator, it is not difficult for the user to hold. At the same time as the hydrogen gas is generated, the hydrogen generating agent packet 40 sinks in water, so the generated hydrogen gas rises in the form of bubbles 24, and the user can observe the generation of hydrogen gas through the transparent window 23. In one embodiment, 6 g of the hydrogen generating agent packet 4 can generate 2400 - 3400 cc of hydrogen gas in one hour.

[0020] According to the application, the hydrogen suction machine 10 is also provided with an upper cover 50. At one end of the upper cover 50, there is a female thread 51 for screwing and tightening a male thread 221. At the other end of the upper cover 50, there is a gas transport port 52, and a gas outlet 521 penetrating the gas transport port 52 is arranged. The gas outlet 521 can supply a large amount of hydrogen gas. When strong airflow hydrogen is required, a joint 60 is covered on the gas transport port 52. The joint 60 is provided with a small-diameter blowing hole 61, and the blowing hole 61 is connected to a hose 62 and combined with various devices for the user to use hydrogen. The hydrogen generated from the hydrogen generating agent medicine pack 40 in the hydrogen suction machine 10 is applied to various instruments to produce various application methods.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, the pressurizer 71 of the beauty instrument 70 is connected to the joint 60 of the hydrogen suction machine 10 through a hose 62. The pressurizer 71 plays a role in pressurizing the airflow. The pressurizer 71 is connected to a spray nozzle 711. The hydrogen gas coming out of the blowing hole 61 is pressurized by the pressurizer 71 and sprayed onto the skin on the face 72 through the spray nozzle 711 to supply hydrogen to the face 72. Extremely small hydrogen molecules can penetrate the skin for maintenance. As shown in FIG. 4, the hydrogen gas penetrates through the stratum corneum 721, granular layer 722, spinous layer 723 and basal layer 724 of the epidermal tissue through the pressurizer 71, and thus suppresses the melanocytes 725.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 5, the nasal mask 73 is connected to the joint 60 of the hydrogen suction machine 10 via the hose 62, covers the nose 74, supplies hydrogen gas to the nose 74, and the hydrogen gas is inhaled into the nasal cavity 741. Then, a small part of it is absorbed by the olfactory nerve 742, hydrogen enters the brain through the olfactory bulb 743, and most of the hydrogen gas enters the lungs through the respiratory system to supply hydrogen to the lungs and activate lung cells. In another embodiment of supplying hydrogen to the nose 74, as shown in FIG. 6, the nasal catheter 75 is connected to the joint 60 of the hydrogen suction machine 10 via the hose 62, wraps around the ear, and inserts its air outlet 751 into the nose 74 to supply hydrogen. FIG. 7 shows another type of second nasal mask 731, which covers the nose 74 in the same manner as the nasal mask 73 in FIG. 5. The second nasal mask 731 is connected to the joint 60 of the hydrogen suction machine 10 via the introduction pipe 732 and the hose 62. The introduction pipe 732 communicates with the through hole 733 of the second nasal mask 731 to introduce hydrogen into the interior of the second nasal mask 731, enabling the nose 74 to inhale hydrogen.

[0023] FIG. 8 shows the application of the hydrogen suction machine 10 to the eye mask 76. The eye mask 76 covers the eyeballs, and hydrogen gas enters the eyeballs through the pressurizer 761. The microvessels of the eye tissues such as the cornea, iris, and vitreous body absorb hydrogen to suppress free radicals and activate the eye cells.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 9, the hose 62 is connected to the pressurizer 771 of the ear cleaner 77, and the nozzle 772 of the ear cleaner 77 is inserted into the external auditory canal 81 of the ear 80. The pressurized hydrogen is supplied to the eardrum 82 to delay aging, improve hearing impairment, and regenerate new cells to acquire a sense of balance.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 10, a bubble generator 91 is provided inside the bathtub 90, and the bubble generator 91 is connected to the gas transport port 52 of the hydrogen suction machine 10 via a large-diameter trachea 92. A large amount of hydrogen gas is supplied through the gas outlet 521 of the gas transport port 52, and hydrogen dissolves in the water through the bubble generator 91, so that the water in the bathtub 90 forms hydrogen-rich water, enabling the skin cells of the user entering the bath to regenerate.

[0026] The above content describes the structure of the present invention as a more preferred embodiment, and various changes or modifications may be made in accordance with the gist of the present invention. Therefore, obvious alternatives and modifications that can be made by those skilled in the art should still be included within the claimed patent scope of the present invention.
