Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a respiratory device for use by patients with respiratory disorders, and particularly to a positive pressure respiratory device that self-generates gas to supply positive pressure gas.
Background Art
[0002] Hitherto, mankind has highly valued life. The development of numerous medical technologies is all for combating diseases and prolonging human life. Also, most of the past medical methods have been passive. That is, treatment is carried out for the symptoms when a disease occurs. For example, surgeries, medications, and furthermore, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer, or health care, rehabilitation, and correction in chronic diseases have been carried out. However, in recent years, preventive medicine has gradually been emphasized. For example, through research on health foods, screening and early prevention of genetic diseases, etc., efforts are being made to more actively prevent diseases that may occur in the future. In addition, numerous anti-aging and antioxidant technologies, including coating-type care products and antioxidant foods / drugs, etc., have been gradually developed to extend human lifespan and are widely used by the general public.
[0003] As a result of research, the following points have become clear. Unstable oxygen (O+) (also referred to as free radicals (harmful free radicals)) generated in humans due to various factors (such as diseases, diet, living environment or lifestyle habits in which the person is placed) mixes with inhaled hydrogen, and a part of it becomes water and can be discharged outside the body. Thereby, the number of free radicals in the human body is indirectly reduced, and the acidic body constitution returns to a healthy alkaline body constitution, enabling antioxidant and anti-aging effects, and also achieving the removal of chronic diseases and beauty and health care effects. Furthermore, in clinical trials, it has been shown that when lung damage occurs due to long-term breathing of high-concentration oxygen in bedridden patients, the symptoms of lung damage can be alleviated by inhaling hydrogen gas.
[0004] On the other hand, similar challenges exist for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who are not bedridden but require treatment with a positive airway pressure (PAP) device during sleep. Conventional PAP devices deliver "continuous positive pressure gas" through a non-invasive oxygen mask to patients with obstructive sleep apnea who are able to breathe spontaneously when awake. Conventional PAP devices raise the gas pressure required by the user during the inspiratory phase to a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure until the expiratory phase is completed. When the user inhales, the PAP device delivers positive pressure gas higher than atmospheric pressure into the user's upper airway, and the muscles that dilate the user's upper airway expand continuously with the assistance of the positive pressure gas. Then, the upper airway is widened by sufficient muscle tension, and the resistance due to insufficient muscle tension in the dilating muscles is eliminated, allowing the user to complete the series of breathing movements. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OPS) is primarily caused by insufficient muscle tension in the upper airway dilator muscles during inhalation while sleeping, leading to closure of the respiratory tract. Therefore, positive airway pressure (PAP) devices used for patients with PSP must be combined with a specific gas pressure to achieve therapeutic effects. In addition to PSP, patients with other respiratory disorders such as Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), obesity hyperventilation (OHS), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are also treated with PAP devices. However, continuous PAP systems generate positive pressure even during exhalation, which can cause discomfort to the user during exhalation.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a positive pressure breathing device that can work in conjunction with the user's breathing frequency, generates positive pressure air during the inspiratory phase, and allows it to enter the patient's lungs through the airway to expand the lungs, while not generating positive pressure during exhalation and allowing the gas to be naturally expelled by opening the end of the tube to the outside. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] In view of the above, the object of the present invention is to provide a positive pressure breathing device. This positive pressure breathing device has a simple structure, is easy to operate and maintain, and overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. This positive pressure breathing device can be coordinated with the user's breathing frequency, generates positive pressure air during the inspiratory period, and expands the lungs by allowing it to enter the patient's lungs through the airway. Furthermore, it does not generate positive pressure during exhalation, and the gas is naturally expelled by opening the end of the tube to the outside. It can also effectively improve safety.

[Effects of the Invention]
[0031] Compared to well-known technologies, the positive pressure breathing apparatus of the present invention can not only help alleviate the occurrence of respiratory arrest during sleep in users of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, but also, by supplying the user with self-generated hydrogen-containing gas for inhalation, it can also alleviate oxidative damage that may occur due to positive pressure ventilation in users who use the positive pressure breathing apparatus long-term. This oxidative damage occurs because the positive pressure breathing apparatus continuously supplies an excess amount of gas at positive pressure for the user to inhale, causing the user to breathe in excess gas. When the user breathes in excess gas, the excess gas that cannot be used by the user's body may expand the alveoli, enter the digestive tract, and enter the body's internal cavities. As a result, the user's body suffers oxidative damage from the large amount of oxygen gas contained in the excess gas. On the other hand, the positive pressure breathing apparatus of the present invention reduces oxidative damage caused by excess oxygen gas by adding hydrogen-containing gas to the positive pressure gas.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a schematic external view of a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in one specific embodiment, the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention includes a hydrogen generator 1, a housing 2, a respiratory abnormality detector 3, and a monitoring device 4. The hydrogen generator 1 is used to generate hydrogen-containing gas by electrolyzing electrolyzed water. The housing 2 includes a delivery device 20. The delivery device 20 is connected to the hydrogen generator 1 and receives the hydrogen-containing gas and delivers it to the external environment. The respiratory abnormality detector 3 is connected to the delivery device 20 or the hydrogen generator 1 and detects whether or not a respiratory abnormality has occurred in the user. If it detects that a respiratory abnormality has occurred in the user, it transmits an abnormality signal. The monitoring device 4 is connected to the respiratory abnormality detector 3 and is used to adjust the pressure of the delivered gas based on the abnormality signal. In actual applications, the delivery device 20 of the positive pressure breathing device according to the present invention can be connected to an oxygen mask M1. The oxygen mask M1 is worn by the user and is used to supply the user with hydrogen-containing gas for inhalation. In one specific embodiment, the hydrogen generator 1, respiratory abnormality detector 3, and monitoring device 4 can be installed inside the housing 2.
[0038] As shown in Figure 2, the positive pressure breathing apparatus further includes a pressurizing device 44 connected to the delivery device. In one specific embodiment, the pressurizing device 44 may be a fan device or air compressor 440 (e.g., a blower) connected to the delivery device 20. The fan device or air compressor 440 can be used to generate pressurized gas or accelerating gas by drawing in and compressing air from the external environment. The air compressor 440 adjusts the delivery pressure to the external environment by supplying pressurized gas to the delivery device 20. In another specific embodiment, the pressurizing device 44 may be a high-pressure air cylinder 441. This high-pressure air cylinder 441 stores high-pressure air. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the delivery pressure to the external environment by supplying pressurized gas from the high-pressure air cylinder 441 to the delivery device 20 based on a signal. At least one of the above-mentioned air compressor 440 and high-pressure air cylinder 441 may be selected and used. In other specific embodiments, the high-pressure air cylinder 441 may be replaced with a high-pressure oxygen cylinder and used in combination with the air compressor 440 to adjust the content of hydrogen gas or oxygen gas delivered to the external environment. In actual applications, the positive pressure breathing apparatus E further includes a second check valve 81 installed between the pressurizing device 44 and the delivery device 20. The second check valve 81 can be used to prevent hydrogen-containing gas from entering the pressurizing device 44.
[0039] The positive pressure breathing device E further includes a first check valve 80 and a first flame arrester 90 installed between the hydrogen generator 1 and the delivery device 20. In actual applications, the first check valve 80 is installed before the mixing of the hydrogen-containing gas with the external gas to prevent backflow of positive pressure gas to the hydrogen generator 1. Therefore, the installation position of the first check valve 80 is adjusted based on the installation position of the monitoring device 4. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the first check valve 80 is installed between the wetting device 13 and the atomizing device 14. The positive pressure breathing device E may also further include a first flame arrester 90. The first flame arrester 90 can be used to prevent fire from moving into the hydrogen generator 1 if an ignition problem occurs when the hydrogen-containing gas and the external gas are mixed. Furthermore, by installing a second flame arrester 91 inside or outside the delivery device 20, the situation in which fire moves into the delivery device 20 when the hydrogen-containing gas and the external gas are delivered can be avoided.
[0040] Refer to Figure 3A. Figure 3A is a functional block diagram of another specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E in the present invention. In the specific embodiment of Figure 3A, the positive pressure breathing device E includes a gas path, a hydrogen generator 1, a pressurizer 44, a mixing device 17, an atomizer 14, and a delivery device 20. The hydrogen generator 1 is connected to the gas path and is used to generate hydrogen-containing gas by electrolyzing electrolyzed water. The pressurizer 44 is connected to the gas path and is capable of selectively accelerating outside air to generate accelerated gas or pressurized gas. The mixing device 17 is connected to the gas path and is used to mix hydrogen-containing gas and accelerated gas to generate positive pressure gas. The atomizer 14 is connected to the gas path and selectively generates atomized gas. The delivery device 20 is connected to the gas path and is used to selectively deliver different combinations such as hydrogen-containing gas, positive pressure gas, hydrogen-containing gas and atomized gas, or positive pressure gas and atomized gas.
[0041] Refer to Figure 3B. Figure 3B is a functional block diagram of a further specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing apparatus E according to the present invention. In the specific embodiment of Figure 3B, the positive pressure breathing apparatus E includes an electrolytic device 10, a condensation and filtration device 11, a humidification device 13, a heat dissipation device 19, a water intake pump 18, a monitoring device 4 (which may include multiple parts in Figure 3B), a power supply device 21, a pressurizing device 44 (including a filter 442, an air compressor or fan device 443), a mixing device 17, an atomizing device 14, and a delivery device 20. The monitoring device 4 may include a pressure sensor 41, a flow sensor 42, and a hydrogen gas sensor 43. The pressure sensor 41 can be used to detect the pressure value of the current delivery. The flow sensor 42 can be used to detect the flow rate of the current delivery. The hydrogen gas sensor 43 can be used to detect the hydrogen gas concentration in the hydrogen-containing gas currently being delivered. In one embodiment, the monitoring device 4 can detect the user's breathing frequency. During the inhalation phase, the pressurizing device 44 is activated to generate positive-pressure air, and during exhalation, the pressurizing device 44 is either stopped or the pressure of the gas it generates is reduced to allow the user to naturally exhale the gas.
[0042] The power supply unit 21 can be connected to the monitoring device 4 and the electrolytic device 10, and supplies the power necessary for their operation. The heat dissipation device 19 can be connected to the electrolytic device 10 and can be used to assist in the heat dissipation of the electrolytic device 10, thereby avoiding problems such as overheating affecting the electrolysis efficiency and thermal damage to the device. The electrolytic device 10 can be connected to the condensation filtration device 11, the condensation filtration device 11 can be connected to the wetting device 13, the wetting device 13 can be connected to the pressure sensor 41, the pressure sensor 41 can be connected to the first check valve 80, and the first check valve 80 can be connected to the first flame arrester 90. Furthermore, the first flame arrester 90 can be connected to the mixing device 17. The water intake pump 18 can be connected to the wetting device 13 and the electrolytic device 10, and transports the water in the wetting device 13 to the electrolytic device 10 for use as electrolyzed water.
[0043] The pressurizing device 44 further includes a filter 442, a fan device 443, and a first flow sensor 444. The filter 442 filters out impurities from the outside air. The fan device 443 is connected to the filter 442. The fan device 443 accelerates the filtered outside air to generate accelerated gas or pressurized gas. The first flow sensor 444 is connected to the fan device 443. The first flow sensor 444 detects the flow rate of the accelerated gas and transmits the numerical value of the flow rate to the monitoring device 4.
[0044] The thin solid arrows in Figure 3B indicate the flow direction of the hydrogen-containing gas. As shown in Figure 3B, the hydrogen-containing gas reaches the mixing device 17 via the electrolytic device 10, condensation and filtration device 11, wetting device 13, pressure sensor 41, first check valve 80, and first flame arrester 90. The thin dotted arrows in Figure 3B indicate the flow direction of the accelerated gas or pressurized gas. As shown in Figure 3B, after being filtered by the filter 442, the air becomes pressurized gas or accelerated gas via the air compressor or fan device 443, and then reaches the mixing device 17 via the first flow sensor 444 and second check valve 81, where it is mixed with the hydrogen-containing gas. The thick solid arrows in Figure 3B (for example, from the mixing device 17 to the delivery device 20) indicate the flow direction of the positive pressure gas.
[0045] The positive pressure breathing apparatus E further includes a respiratory abnormality detector 3 (not shown in Figure 3B) and a monitoring device 4. The respiratory abnormality detector 3 is connected to the gas pathway (for example, the thick solid arrow portion in Figure 3B or other gas passage portions) and is used to detect whether a respiratory abnormality has occurred in the user connected to the gas pathway and to selectively generate an abnormality signal. The monitoring device 4 is connected to the respiratory abnormality detector 3. The monitoring device 4 is used to activate the pressurizing device 44 based on the abnormality signal to generate accelerated gas or pressurized gas. In this case, the monitoring device 4 can generate positive pressure gas irregularly based on the abnormality signal.
[0046] When the monitoring device 4 activates the pressurizing device 44, the dispensing device 20 dispenses positive-pressure gas, or positive-pressure gas and atomized gas. When the monitoring device 4 does not activate the pressurizing device 44, the dispensing device 20 dispenses hydrogen-containing gas, or hydrogen-containing gas and atomized gas.
[0047] The positive pressure breathing apparatus E further includes an atomizer switch (not shown in Figure 3B). When the monitoring device 4 activates the pressurizer 44 and the atomizer switch, the delivery device 20 delivers positive pressure gas and atomized gas. If the monitoring device 4 does not activate the pressurizer 44 but activates the atomizer switch, the delivery device 20 delivers hydrogen-containing gas and atomized gas.
[0048] The positive pressure breathing apparatus E may further include a trigger switch (not shown in Figure 3B). The trigger switch is used to selectively generate a trigger signal, allowing the user to choose whether or not to activate the pressurizing device 44. The monitoring device 4 is connected to the trigger switch. The monitoring device 4 is used to activate the pressurizing device 44 based on the trigger signal and generate accelerating gas. In this case, the user can selectively generate a continuous positive pressure gas.
[0049] Referring to Figure 3A, the positive pressure breathing apparatus E may also include a transmission device 6 connected to a monitoring device 4. The transmission device 6 is used to receive and transmit breathing control parameters to the monitoring device 4. Upon receiving the parameters, the monitoring device 4 selectively adjusts the flow rate of the accelerating gas based on the breathing control parameters. In this case, the user can selectively generate parameters such as the cycle, frequency, and pressure magnitude of the positive pressure gas. The positive pressure breathing apparatus E further includes a moisture condensation tube 5 connected to a delivery device 20. The moisture condensation tube 5 is used to condense moisture in the gas delivered by the delivery device 20. The gas may be a hydrogen-containing gas, a positive pressure gas, a hydrogen-containing gas and atomized gas, or a positive pressure gas and atomized gas. In other specific embodiments, a hydrogen generator 1 is used to generate oxyhydrogen gas.
[0050] As shown in Figure 3B, the mixing device 17 can be connected to the hydrogen gas sensor 43, second flow sensor 42, and pressure sensor 41 of the monitoring device 4, the monitoring device 4 can be connected to the atomizing device 14, and the atomizing device 14 can be connected to the second flame arrester 91. Furthermore, the second flame arrester 91 can be connected to the delivery device 20. As indicated by the thick arrows in Figure 3B, the hydrogen-containing gas and pressurized gas are mixed in the mixing device 17. The mixed hydrogen-containing gas reaches the delivery device 20 from the mixing device 17 via the hydrogen gas sensor 43, second flow sensor 42, pressure sensor 41, atomizing device 14, and second flame arrester 91. Needless to say, the hydrogen gas sensor 43, second flow sensor 42, and pressure sensor 41 may be present simultaneously, or they may be combined in any way, depending on the required detection function.
[0051] As shown in Figure 3B, the monitoring device 4 can be connected to the power supply unit 21, the electrolytic unit 10, the wetting unit 13, the atomizing unit 14, and the pressurizing unit 44. Furthermore, the monitoring device 4 can quickly adjust the pressure, flow rate, and hydrogen gas concentration by receiving the gas pressure value, flow rate value, and hydrogen gas concentration detected by the pressure sensor 41, the first flow rate sensor 444, the second flow rate sensor 42, and the hydrogen gas sensor 43. These gas pressure value, flow rate value, or hydrogen gas concentration can all be referred to as "gas signals." In detail, the dashed line in Figure 3B indicates the transmission direction of information and commands. When the first flow rate sensor 444, which is connected to the fan unit 443, transmits the current flow rate of the positive pressure gas to the monitoring device 4, the monitoring device 4 can adjust the pressure value of the positive pressure gas by providing acceleration operation information or deceleration operation information to the pressurizing unit 44 based on the current flow rate of the positive pressure gas. Furthermore, when the wetting device 13 connected to the pressure sensor 41 transmits the current pressure value of the hydrogen-containing gas to the monitoring device 4, the monitoring device 4 can provide information on an increase in hydrogen generation or a decrease in hydrogen generation to at least one of the power supply device 21 and the electrolytic device 10 based on the current pressure value of the hydrogen-containing gas. In short, the monitoring device is used to detect the gas signal and control the pressurizing device to generate the accelerating gas.
[0052] The power supply unit 21 can adjust the amount of hydrogen generated by the electrolytic device 10 by increasing or decreasing the voltage supplied to the electrolytic device 10 based on information about an increase in hydrogen generation or information about a decrease in hydrogen generation. The electrolytic device 10 can adjust the amount of hydrogen generated by increasing or decreasing the electrolysis rate based on information about an increase in hydrogen generation or information about a decrease in hydrogen generation. When the hydrogen gas sensor 43, the second flow sensor 42, and the pressure sensor 41 connected to the mixing device 17 transmit the current hydrogen gas concentration, flow rate, and pressure values of the positive pressure gas to the monitoring device 4, the monitoring device 4 provides acceleration operation information or deceleration operation information to the acceleration device 44 based on the current hydrogen gas concentration, flow rate, and pressure values of the positive pressure gas, and adjusts the hydrogen gas concentration, flow rate, and pressure values of the positive pressure gas by providing information about an increase in hydrogen generation or information about a decrease in hydrogen generation to the power supply unit 21 and information about an increase in hydrogen generation or information about a decrease in hydrogen generation to the electrolytic device 10.
[0053] Refer to Figures 2 and 4. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of a general electrolytic device 10a in a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. In practice, the hydrogen generator 1 of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention includes an electrolytic device. The electrolytic device is divided into a general electrolytic device 10a or an ion membrane electrolytic device 10b. In one specific embodiment, the electrolytic device is a general electrolytic device 10a having a cathode electrode 100 and an anode electrode 101. In the general electrolytic device 10a, when electrolyzing electrolyzed water, the cathode electrode 100 generates hydrogen gas and the anode electrode 101 generates oxygen gas, which are then mixed to form a hydrogen-containing gas. This general electrolytic device 10a includes an exhaust pipe 102 that communicates with a delivery device 20. The hydrogen-containing gas is supplied to the delivery device 20 through the exhaust pipe 102 of this general electrolytic device 10a. The monitoring device 4 further includes a flow control unit 40 connected to the exhaust pipe 102, which adjusts the pressure delivered to the external environment by adjusting the gas flow rate into the delivery device 20. The monitoring device 4 can be used to further mix the hydrogen-containing gas with outside air to form a gas component ratio suitable for human inhalation. In practical applications, an oxygen mask M1 can be connected to the delivery device 20.
[0054] Refer to Figure 5. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the ion membrane electrolyzer 10b in one specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. In one specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the electrolyzer of the hydrogen generator 1 is an ion membrane electrolyzer 1b, which includes an ion exchange membrane 103, a cathode chamber 104, and an anode chamber 105. A cathode electrode 100 is provided in the cathode chamber 104, and an anode electrode 101 is provided in the anode chamber 105. The ion exchange membrane 103 is provided between the cathode chamber 104 and the anode chamber 105. When the ion membrane hydrogen generator 10b electrolyzes electrolyzed water, the anode electrode 101 generates oxygen gas in the anode chamber 105, and the cathode electrode 100 generates hydrogen gas in the cathode chamber 104.
[0055] Refer to Figures 6A and 6B. Figure 6A is a schematic diagram of the ion membrane electrolyzer 10b in another specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. Figure 6B is a schematic diagram of the ion membrane electrolyzer 10b in a further specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. In this paragraph, the main features of the present invention will be briefly described by combining Figures 6A and 6B. In the specific embodiments of Figures 6A and 6B, the electrolyzer is an ion membrane electrolyzer 10b. The ion membrane electrolyzer 10b includes a cathode electrode 100, an anode electrode 101, an ion exchange membrane 103, a first side 106, and a second side 107. The ion exchange membrane 103 is placed between the first side 106 and the second side 107. The cathode electrode 100 is placed between the ion exchange membrane 103 and the first side 106, and the anode electrode 101 is placed between the ion exchange membrane 103 and the second side 107. The region where the first side 106 and the cathode electrode 100 are located is referred to as the cathode chamber 104, and the region where the second side 107 and the anode electrode 101 are located is referred to as the anode chamber 105. To more clearly show the corresponding positions of the cathode chamber 104 and the anode chamber 105, their positions are indicated by dotted lines in Figures 6A and 6B. When the ion membrane electrolyzer 10b electrolyzes electrolyzed water, the anode electrode 101 generates oxygen gas in the anode chamber 105, and the cathode electrode 100 generates hydrogen gas in the cathode chamber 104. The ion membrane electrolyzer 1b further includes a hydrogen tube 108 that communicates with the cathode chamber 104 and the delivery device 20. To further explain, in the specific embodiment shown in Figure 5, the hydrogen tube 108 is directly connected to the cathode chamber 104 and the delivery device 20. On the other hand, in the specific embodiment shown in Figure 6A, the hydrogen tube 108 extends from between the ion exchange membrane 103 and the first side 106 toward the second side 107, passes through the second side 107, and communicates with the delivery device. Also, in the specific embodiment shown in Figure 6B, the hydrogen tube 108 extends from between the ion exchange membrane 103 and the first side 106 toward the first side 106, passes through the first side 106, and communicates with the delivery device 20. In one specific embodiment, the ion membrane electrolytic device 10b further includes an oxygen tube 109 that communicates with the anode chamber 105 and the delivery device 20. To further explain, in the specific embodiment shown in Figure 5, the oxygen tube 108 is directly connected to the anode chamber 105 and the delivery device 20.On the other hand, in the specific embodiment shown in Figure 6A, the oxygen tube 109 extends from between the ion exchange membrane 103 and the second side 107 toward the second side 107, passes through the second side 107, and communicates with the delivery device 20. Also, in the specific embodiment shown in Figure 6B, the oxygen tube 109 extends from between the ion exchange membrane 103 and the second side 107 toward the first side 106, passes through the first side 106, and communicates with the delivery device 20. The hydrogen tube 108 and the oxygen tube 109 merge and communicate, forming an exhaust pipe 102. This allows for the mixing of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce a hydrogen-containing gas in a desired ratio. In the above specific embodiments, flow rate control units 40 are connected to the hydrogen tube 108, the oxygen tube 109, and the exhaust pipe 102, respectively. The flow rate control unit 40 controls the mixing ratio of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas in the hydrogen-containing gas based on the signal, and also controls the flow rate of the hydrogen-containing gas flowing to the delivery device 20.
[0056] Refer to Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 is an exploded view of an expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c in a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing apparatus E according to the present invention. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the hydrogen delivery path 171, oxygen delivery path 172, and water inlet path 173 of the expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c in a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing apparatus E according to the present invention. In addition to the electrolyzer described above, an expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c may also be included. As shown in Figure 7, the expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c includes a positive electrode plate 1c0, a negative electrode plate 1c1, and a first bipolar electrode plate 10c20. The first bipolar electrode plate 10c20 is located between the positive electrode plate 10c0 and the negative electrode plate 10c1. A first ion membrane plate 10c30 can be accommodated between the positive electrode plate 10c0 and the first bipolar electrode plate 10c20. Furthermore, a second ion membrane plate 10c31 can be accommodated between the negative electrode plate 10c1 and the first bipolar electrode plate 10c20. As shown in Figure 8, the first oxygen chamber 10c80 is adjacent to the positive electrode plate 10c0, and the first hydrogen chamber 10c90 is adjacent to the negative electrode plate 10c1. Also, the second oxygen chamber 10c81 is adjacent to the positively charged surface of the first bipolar electrode plate 10c20, and the second hydrogen chamber 10c91 is adjacent to the negatively charged surface of the first bipolar electrode plate 10c20. The first oxygen chamber 10c90 is in communication with the second oxygen chamber 10c81 through the oxygen delivery path 10c41, and the first hydrogen chamber 10c90 is in communication with the second hydrogen chamber 10c91 through the hydrogen delivery path 10c40.
[0057] In actual applications, the expandable ion membrane electrolyzer 10c can improve electrolysis efficiency and gas generation efficiency by expanding the electrolyzer by increasing the number of bipolar electrode plates and ion membrane plates between the positive electrode plate 10c0 and the negative electrode plate 10c1. In one specific embodiment, the second bipolar electrode plate 10c21 is located between the positive electrode plate 10c0 and the negative electrode plate 10c1. A third oxygen chamber (not shown) is adjacent to the positively charged surface of the second bipolar electrode plate 10c21, and a third hydrogen chamber (not shown) is adjacent to the negatively charged surface of the second bipolar electrode plate 10c21. The third oxygen chamber is in communication with the first oxygen chamber 10c80 and the second oxygen chamber 10c81 through the oxygen delivery path 10c41, and the third hydrogen chamber is in communication with the first hydrogen chamber 10c90 and the second hydrogen chamber 10c91 through the hydrogen delivery path 171. In addition, the third oxygen chamber is not in gas communication with the first hydrogen chamber 10c90, the second hydrogen chamber 10c91, and the third hydrogen chamber, and the third hydrogen chamber is not in gas communication with the first oxygen chamber 10c80, the second oxygen chamber 10c81, and the third oxygen chamber.
[0058] In a further specific embodiment, the extended ion membrane electrolytic apparatus further includes an oxygen inlet tube 10c62 and a hydrogen inlet tube 10c61. The oxygen delivery path 10c41 is connected to the oxygen inlet tube 10c61 by passing through the negative electrode plate 10c1 or the positive electrode plate 10c0. The hydrogen delivery path 10c40 is connected to the hydrogen inlet tube 10c61 by passing through the negative electrode plate 10c1 or the positive electrode plate 10c0. In actual applications, the oxygen inlet tube 10c62 can communicate with the oxygen tube 109, and the hydrogen inlet tube 10c61 can communicate with the hydrogen tube 108. Furthermore, the hydrogen tube 108 can communicate with the exhaust pipe 102 to deliver hydrogen-containing gas to the delivery device 20. In another specific embodiment, the hydrogen tube 108 and the oxygen tube 109 can communicate with the exhaust pipe 102 and mix hydrogen-containing gas in a specific ratio. Furthermore, the hydrogen tube 108, oxygen tube 109, and exhaust pipe 102 can be connected to a flow control unit 40. This flow control unit 40 controls the flow rate of hydrogen-containing gas flowing to the delivery device 20 based on a signal.
[0059] In order to reduce the risk of water and air leakage in the expanded ion membrane electrolytic device 10c formed after lamination, and to ensure that the hydrogen delivery path 10c40, oxygen delivery path 1c41, water inlet path 1c42, and each oxygen chamber and hydrogen chamber each have their own independent space, the expanded ion membrane electrolytic device 10c further includes a plurality of silicone gaskets 1c7. Each silicone gasket 1c7 is installed between each ion exchange membrane plate and the corresponding negative electrode plate 10c1, positive electrode plate 1c0, or bipolar electrode plate.
[0060] When comparing the above-described expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c with the general electrolyzer 10a and the ion membrane electrolyzer 10b, the expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c is more tightly stacked. Therefore, for the same electrolysis efficiency, the expanded ion membrane electrolyzer 10c requires a smaller volume than the other two types of electrolyzers, and consequently the positive pressure breathing apparatus E can be made smaller.
[0061] Refer to Figures 9 to 11B. Figure 9 is an exploded view of the structure of the hydrogen generator 1 in another specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. Figure 10 is an exploded view of a part of the structure of the hydrogen generator 1 in another specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. Figure 11A is a functional block diagram of the hydrogen generator 1 in another specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. Figure 11B is a functional block diagram of another specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. In one specific embodiment, the hydrogen generator 1 includes a tank 15, an electrolytic device 10, a condensation filtration device 11, a wetting device 13, and an atomizing device 14. The tank 15 can be used to contain electrolyzed water. The electrolytic device 10 can be housed in the tank 15 and is used to generate hydrogen-containing gas by electrolyzing the electrolyzed water. The electrolytic device 10 may be an electrolytic device 10 of a non-ionic membrane electrolytic device composed of a combination of multiple electrode plates. The condensation filtration device 11 is stacked above the tank 15 and communicates with the tank 15. The condensation filter 11 includes an integrated channel and filter cotton housed within the integrated channel. The filter cotton of the condensation filter is used to filter electrolytes or impurities from hydrogen-containing gas.
[0062] The hydrogen generator 1 may include a separate filtration device 12 for further filtering out impurities (e.g., chlorine or electrolytes in the hydrogen-containing gas). In other specific embodiments, this filtration device 12 may include well-known filters such as activated carbon filters or asbestos filters. The hydrogen generator 1 performs initial filtration in the condensation filtration device 11, followed by more thorough filtration in the filtration device 12.
[0063] The humidification device 13 is stacked on the tank 15 and communicates with the condensation filtration device 11. In one embodiment, the humidification device 13 is installed between the tank 15 and the condensation filtration device 11. The humidification device 13 has a humidification chamber 130 and a communication chamber 131. The humidification chamber 130 can be used to humidify hydrogen-containing gas. The communication chamber 131 can be used to communicate between the tank 15 and the condensation filtration device 11. The communication chamber 131 does not communicate with the humidification chamber 130. In actual applications, the humidification device 13 can humidify hydrogen-containing gas or introduce hydrogen-containing gas into water to obtain humidified hydrogen-containing gas, thereby preventing the user from inhaling pure gas and drying out their airways. In actual applications, the humidification device 13 can obtain humidified hydrogen-containing gas by introducing hydrogen-containing gas into water contained in the humidification chamber 130 via a capillary tube 132.
[0064] The atomizing device 14 selectively atomizes a liquid into an atomized gas using an oscillator. This atomized gas is mixed with a hydrogen-containing gas to generate a healthcare gas. The atomizing device 14 then delivers the healthcare gas to the dispensing device 20. The atomized gas can be composed of at least one of the following: water vapor, volatile essential oils, atomizing agents, etc.
[0065] The hydrogen-containing gas generated in the electrolytic device 10 passes through the tank 1 to the condensing and filtering device 11, the wetting device 13, and the atomizing device 14, and then is delivered from the delivery device 20 to the oxygen mask M1 for inhalation by the user. In detail, in this embodiment, the tank 15 includes a lid 150 and a housing 151. The housing 151 is capable of containing electrolyzed water, and the lid 150 can cover the top of the housing 151. The electrolytic device 10 is located inside the tank 15. The electrolytic device 10 can receive electrolyzed water from the tank 15, electrolyze it, generate hydrogen-containing gas, and allow it to enter the tank 15. The condensing and filtering device 11, the filtering device 12, and the wetting device 13 are all installed vertically above the tank 15. The order of the vertical installation of the condensing and filtering device 11, the filtering device 12, and the wetting device 13 can be changed.
[0066] As shown in Figures 10, 11A, and 11B, the integrated flow path includes an upper cover 110 and a lower cover 111. By combining the upper cover 110 and the lower cover 111, a condensation flow path 112, a wetting flow path 113, and a discharge flow path 114 are formed, respectively. Furthermore, the lower cover 111 has an integrally molded structure. The lower cover 111 has a condensation flow path inlet 1120 and a condensation flow path outlet 1121 that communicate with the condensation flow path 112, a wetting flow path inlet 1130 and a wetting flow path outlet 1131 that communicate with the wetting flow path 113, and a discharge flow path inlet 1140 and a discharge flow path outlet 1141 that communicate with the discharge flow path 114. The condensation flow path inlet 1120 communicates with the tank 1 and receives hydrogen-containing gas generated in the electrolytic device 10 housed in the tank 15. The wetting device 13 is housed in the lower cover 111 and communicates with the condensation channel outlet 1121 and the wetting channel inlet 1130, respectively. The wetting device 13 is used to wet the hydrogen-containing gas and then send it to the wetting channel 113.
[0067] As shown in Figure 10, the upper cover 110 of the condensation filter 11 may include a first upper cover 1100 and a second upper cover 1101. The first upper cover 1100, together with the lower cover 111, can form a wetting channel 113 and a discharge channel 114. The lower cover 111 has a plurality of partitions 1110 in a specific arrangement, and a condensation channel 112 is formed by combining the second upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 111. The hydrogen generator 1 further has a plurality of filter cottons 117. The filter cottons 117 can be installed in the condensation channel 112 and are used for initial filtration of impurities in the hydrogen-containing gas. The partitions 1110 can be used to partition the plurality of filter cottons 117. This prevents situations in which the condensation and moisture absorption effects are reduced due to overlapping or contact between the filter cottons 117.
[0068] The condensation filtration device 11 can receive replenishment water and return the electrolyte remaining on the filter cotton 117 to the tank. The wetting device 13 contains replenishment water that can be used to wetting the hydrogen-containing gas. Furthermore, the replenishment water can also be supplied to the condensation filtration device 11.
[0069] The hydrogen generator 1 may further include a filter 12 connected to the lower cover 111 for filtering out impurities from the hydrogen-containing gas. The lower cover 111 further has a filter inlet 1144 and a filter outlet 1145 connected to the filter 12. The discharge channel 114 is divided into a first section channel 1142 and a second section channel 1143. The first section channel 1142 communicates with the discharge channel inlet 1140 and the filter inlet 1144, and sends the hydrogen-containing gas to the filter 12. The second section channel 1143 communicates with the filter outlet 1145 and the discharge channel outlet 1141, and discharges the hydrogen-containing gas or positive-pressure gas from the filter 12.
[0070] As described above, the installation method and functional design of each unit within the vertically stacked hydrogen generator 1, in particular, with its integrated flow path and integrally molded lower cover 111, not only reduces the volume of the device but also minimizes problems such as water leakage, air leakage, and loosening of pipelines associated with pipeline connections.
[0071] As shown in Figures 11A and 11B, the embodiment in Figure 11A is a hydrogen generator 1, and the embodiment in Figure 11B is a positive-pressure breathing device E, which is an example of a combination of the hydrogen generator 1, a mixing device 17, and an atomizing device 14. In the embodiment in Figure 11B, the mixing device 17 can be fitted into the lower cover 111 and is in communication with the wetting channel outlet 1131 and the discharge channel inlet 1140, respectively. The mixing device 17 is also connected to the pressurizing device 44. The pressurizing device 44 includes an air compressor 440 or a high-pressure air cylinder 441 and is used to accelerate outside air and generate accelerated gas. The mixing device 17 can be used to mix hydrogen-containing gas and accelerated gas to generate positive-pressure gas. The atomizing device 14 can be fitted into the lower cover 111 and is in communication with the discharge channel outlet 1141. As a result, the positive-pressure gas discharged from the discharge channel outlet 1141 is mixed with the atomized gas generated by the atomizer 14 and then discharged.
[0072] In another specific embodiment, the mixing device 17 is in communication with the discharge channel outlet 1141 and mixes the accelerated gas discharged from the pressurizing device 44 with the hydrogen-containing gas discharged from the discharge channel outlet 1141, and discharges it as positive-pressure gas. The atomizing device 14 is also connectable to the mixing device 17 and mixes the atomized gas generated in the atomizing device 14 with the positive-pressure gas and discharges it. In yet another specific embodiment, the atomizing device 14 is fitted into the lower cover 111 and is in communication with the discharge channel outlet 1141. This allows the atomized gas generated in the atomizing device 14 to mix with the hydrogen-containing gas discharged from the discharge channel outlet 1141. The mixing device 17 is also connectable to the atomized gas. This allows the accelerated gas discharged from the pressurizing device 44 to mix the hydrogen-containing gas and atomized gas discharged from the atomizing device 14, and discharges the atomized gas and positive-pressure gas.
[0073] Refer to Figure 2 again. Conventional positive pressure breathing devices cause discomfort to the user because the positive pressure gas, when continuously supplied to the user, becomes excessively dry. Therefore, in order to maintain moisture in the user's respiratory system, the present invention generates hydrogen-containing gas that has been moistened in a humidification device 13, and further generates atomized healthcare gas in an atomization device 14 before it can be transported to the delivery device 20. This solves the discomfort caused by the drying of the user's respiratory system due to the continuous supply of positive pressure gas in well-known positive pressure breathing devices. Furthermore, the temperature of the positive pressure gas generated in general positive pressure breathing devices tends to drop excessively, and excessively low temperatures can cause problems in the user's trachea. However, in the present invention, the temperature of the hydrogen-containing gas generated from electrolyzed water is generally around 30 to 60 degrees Celsius. In addition, the atomization device 14 has a heating function (for example, the atomization device 14 is an ultrasonic oscillator, and raises the temperature of the atomized gas when atomization occurs by oscillation), maintaining the atomized gas at an appropriate temperature. Therefore, the temperature of the positive-pressure gas mixed with outside air (e.g., pressurized gas) does not drop excessively, and the situation in which the user's trachea becomes unwell due to excessively low temperature of the positive-pressure gas is avoided. Naturally, the temperature of the accelerating gas or pressurized gas may be increased by installing an additional heating function in the pressurizing device.
[0074] However, excessive humidity may occur in the environment inside the oxygen mask M1 due to moisture supplied from the humidifying device 13 or atomizing device 14 and moisture generated from the user's own exhaled breath, which may result in respiratory problems for the user. To resolve respiratory problems caused by excessive humidity inside the oxygen mask M1, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention further includes a moisture condensation tube 5 connected to the delivery device 20. The moisture condensation tube 5 can be used to receive the positive pressure gas delivered from the delivery device 20. If the positive pressure gas is excessively humid, moisture will accumulate in the moisture condensation tube 5. Also, if there is an excess of condensed water in the moisture condensation tube 5, it is possible to remove the moisture condensation tube 5, discard the condensed water, and then reinstall it.
[0075] The positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention is connectable to an oxygen mask M1 via a delivery device 20, and supplies hydrogen-containing gas from the positive pressure breathing device E to a user wearing the oxygen mask M1 for inhalation. Refer to Figures 12 and 13. Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the oxygen mask M1 in a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device according to the present invention. Figure 13 is a schematic diagram of the oxygen mask M1 from a different angle in a specific embodiment of the positive pressure breathing device E according to the present invention. The oxygen mask M1 includes an air unidirectional inlet unit M10, a gas unidirectional outlet unit M11, a sealing forming structure M122, an air chamber structure M123, a positioning structure M124, and a connection port M125. The air unidirectional inlet unit M10 includes a gas inlet M100 and a mask first check valve M101 connected to the gas inlet M100, and is used to allow air from the external environment to enter the oxygen mask M1 in one direction. The unidirectional gas discharge unit M11 includes a gas outlet M110 and a second mask check valve M111 connected to the gas outlet M110, and is used to allow gas from the oxygen mask M1 to flow out to the external environment in one direction. The sealing structure M122 is made of a flexible, easily bendable, and elastic material such as rubber, silicone, or foam. The sealing structure M122 can be positioned to come into direct contact with the user's skin and surround the user's respiratory inlet. The periphery of the air chamber structure M123 is connected to the sealing structure M122, forming a space that accommodates the user's mouth, nose, or mouth and nose. The sealed structure facilitates the entry of positive-pressure air into the user's respiratory system. The positioning structure M124 is installed on the side of the air chamber structure M123 away from the user. The positioning structure M124 can be combined with a fixing device. For example, a fixing belt can be used to hold the oxygen mask M1 more securely in the correct position during use. The connection port M125 connects the oxygen mask M1 and the delivery device 20. In some specific embodiments, one or more features can be provided by one or more substantial units. Also, in some specific embodiments, the substantial units can provide one or more functional characteristics.
[0076] In the positive pressure breathing apparatus E of the present invention, the unidirectional air entry unit M10 is used as a protective mechanism. Under normal conditions, the inside of the oxygen mask M1 is a positive pressure environment, so outside air does not enter the oxygen mask M1 from the unidirectional air entry unit M10. However, if the inside of the oxygen mask M1 becomes an abnormal negative pressure environment, outside air enters the oxygen mask M1 from the unidirectional air entry unit M10 to eliminate the negative pressure condition.
[0077] The oxygen mask M1 of the positive pressure breathing apparatus E in this invention is designed to fit snugly against the face when in use. In one specific embodiment, the oxygen mask M1 can be a nasal mask that surrounds both nostrils, a nasal pillow that fits snugly against the left and right nostrils respectively, a mask that surrounds the mouth, or a full-face mask that surrounds both the mouth and nose. The type of oxygen mask M1 can be selected according to the individual's habits.
[0078] In one specific embodiment, the unidirectional air intake unit M10 and the unidirectional gas exhaust unit M11 can be installed in the air chamber structure M123. In another specific embodiment, the unidirectional air intake unit M10 and the unidirectional gas exhaust unit M11 can be installed in the connection port M125. As those skilled in the art will understand, the unidirectional air intake unit M10 and the unidirectional gas exhaust unit M11 can be installed in any location on the oxygen mask M1, and are not limited to the installation locations shown in the embodiments herein.
[0079] In one specific embodiment, the positive pressure breathing apparatus E of the present invention is a fixed-pressure type positive pressure breathing apparatus. The monitoring device 4 of this positive pressure breathing apparatus E is capable of supplying hydrogen-containing gas at a fixed output volume and pressure based on the pressure suggested by a physician. The pressure of the hydrogen-containing gas should be large enough to sufficiently open the patient's upper airway to eliminate conditions such as respiratory arrest, shallow breathing, respiratory effort-related arousal, and snoring. However, it does not need to be too high so that the user does not experience discomfort due to unnecessary pressure.
[0080] In another specific embodiment, the positive airway pressure (PAP) breathing device E of the present invention is an automatic PAP breathing device. The monitoring device 4 of this PAP breathing device E automatically adjusts the air supply pressure according to the individual's breathing condition during sleep. The degree of relaxation of each person's upper airway opening pressure varies depending on the individual's sleep stage. Furthermore, each person's pressure requirements are also influenced by factors such as eating and drinking, taking medication, sleep environment, posture, changes in lifestyle, and the person's weight and presence or absence of illness at that time. Therefore, different pressure requirements may arise every hour, every day. In this specific embodiment, the respiratory abnormality detector 3 is a pressure feedback sensing device. This pressure feedback sensing device detects changes in the user's breathing pressure. If the respiratory abnormality detector 3 detects that the user is in a normal breathing condition, the PAP breathing device E delivers hydrogen-containing gas at a pressure that does not affect the user's normal breathing. On the other hand, if the respiratory abnormality detector 3 detects that the user has stopped breathing, is breathing shallowly, or is snoring, the PAP breathing device E increases the pressure of the hydrogen-containing gas until the user's breathing recovers. In one specific embodiment, the respiratory abnormality detector 3 can infer the user's respiratory condition by detecting the delivery status of hydrogen-containing gas from the delivery device 20. If the delivery device 20 is unable to deliver hydrogen-containing gas smoothly, it can be inferred that the user is experiencing a respiratory abnormality. Conversely, if the user is not experiencing a respiratory abnormality, it can be inferred that the user is experiencing a normal respiratory condition.
[0081] In further specific embodiments, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention can be adjusted to either the fixed pressure type or the automatic type as described above by manual settings. This allows for customized settings of the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention, rather than limiting it to only one mode.
[0082] In one specific embodiment, the hydrogen generator 1 is connected to the respiratory abnormality detector 3. The hydrogen generator 1 receives a signal generated by the respiratory abnormality detector 3 and, based on the signal, starts the electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen-containing gas. When the user is breathing normally, the positive pressure breathing device E can allow the user to breathe normally using the air unidirectional inlet unit 20 and gas unidirectional outlet unit 21 of the oxygen mask M1. On the other hand, if the device detects that the user has stopped breathing, is breathing shallowly, or is snoring, the hydrogen generator 1 is activated to deliver hydrogen-containing gas for the user to inhale. In actual applications, the respiratory abnormality detector 3 can detect the user's exhalation and inhalation pressure values and interval time. If the respiratory abnormality detector 3 detects the user's inhalation but does not detect the corresponding pressure difference inside the oxygen mask M1 associated with the user's inhalation, the respiratory abnormality detector 3 searches for a positive pressure value between the upper and lower limits of pressure values that the positive pressure breathing device E can achieve in which the user's respiratory system can be opened by positive pressure gas. In another actual application, the user can set a preset time. Furthermore, the respiratory pressure value is not changed when the user is not asleep, but once the user falls asleep, the respiratory abnormality detector 3 starts detecting respiratory abnormalities and assists in monitoring the user's breathing during sleep.
[0083] Refer again to Figure 1. In actual application, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention may have the following four selectable modes of use by the user. The first mode is a built-in mode in which at least one set of usage parameters is pre-stored. These usage parameters include parameters suggested by a physician to general users, parameters suggested by a physician to users with specific symptoms, or commonly used usage parameters. When the user selects at least one set of usage parameters in this built-in mode, the monitoring device 4 adjusts the pressure, gas components, gas concentration, etc., inside the oxygen mask M1 based on the selected built-in mode. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the pressure, gas components, and gas concentration inside the oxygen mask M1 using a flow control unit 40, an air compressor 440, or a high-pressure air cylinder 441. The second mode involves a medical professional providing the breathing control parameters to be used by the user, and adjusting the pressure, gas components, gas concentration, etc., inside the oxygen mask M1. The positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention further includes a transmission device 6 connected to the monitoring device 4. The user or medical professional can transmit these respiratory control parameters to the transmission device 6 using wireless transmission (e.g., Wi-Fi, local area network, Bluetooth®, or infrared transmission) or a wired transmission method. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the pressure, gas components, gas concentration, etc. inside the oxygen mask M1 based on the respiratory control parameters received by the transmission device 6. In other words, the positive pressure breathing device E can be configured using a parameter file that includes externally received respiratory control parameters. The third mode is manual input mode. The monitoring device 4 of the positive pressure breathing device E in this invention can further be connected to a terminal device 7. The user or medical professional can set the respiratory control parameters using the terminal device 7. The monitoring device 4 can directly receive the respiratory control parameters set by the terminal device 7. Alternatively, the transmission device 6 receives these respiratory control parameters and transmits them to the monitoring device 4. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the pressure, gas components, gas concentration, etc. inside the oxygen mask M1 based on these respiratory control parameters. The fourth mode is smart mode. In one specific embodiment, the respiratory abnormality detector 3 is a wearable device attached to the user's body.This wearable device detects the user's movement, palpitations, blood oxygen saturation, and perfusion indicators to determine whether the user is experiencing respiratory arrest, shallow breathing, or snoring, and then generates a signal. Based on this signal, the monitoring device 4 adjusts the pressure supplied to the external environment.
[0084] In addition to the positive pressure breathing apparatus E described above, the present invention further provides a positive pressure breathing apparatus E comprising a hydrogen generator 1, a delivery device 20, and a monitoring device 4. The hydrogen generator 1 and the delivery device 20 are the same as those in the positive pressure breathing apparatus E described above and will not be described in further detail here. The monitoring device 4 is connected to at least one of the hydrogen generator 1 and the delivery device 20. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the delivery pressure to the external environment based on respiratory control parameters.
[0085] When the monitoring device 4 is connected to the hydrogen generator 1, the monitoring device 4 can adjust the pressure delivered to the external environment by adjusting at least one of the following based on the respiratory control parameters: adjusting the rate at which the hydrogen generator 1 generates hydrogen-containing gas, and adjusting the flow rate of hydrogen-containing gas flowing from the hydrogen generator 1 to the delivery device 20. Also, when the monitoring device 4 is connected to the delivery device 20, the monitoring device 4 can adjust the pressure delivered to the external environment by adjusting the flow rate of hydrogen-containing gas flowing to the delivery device 20 based on the respiratory control parameters.
[0086] In practical applications, the oxygen mask M1 can be connected to a delivery device 20 and accepts hydrogen-containing gas. Therefore, the positive pressure breathing apparatus E can further adjust the internal pressure of the oxygen mask M1. In addition to supplying hydrogen-containing gas, the monitoring device 4 of the present invention further includes an air compressor 440 connected to the delivery device 20. The air compressor 440 can be used for inhaling and compressing air from the external environment. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the internal pressure of the oxygen mask M1 by supplying compressed air to the delivery device 20 based on respiratory control parameters. The monitoring device 4 of the present invention may further include a high-pressure air cylinder 441 connected to the delivery device 20. The high-pressure air cylinder 441 stores high-pressure air. The monitoring device 4 adjusts the internal pressure of the oxygen mask M1 by supplying high-pressure air from the high-pressure air cylinder 441 to the delivery device 20 based on respiratory control parameters.
[0087] In one specific embodiment, the respiratory control parameter can be the user's respiratory frequency detected by the detection method. Positive pressure gas (or a mixture of gas and atomized gas) is delivered during inhalation, and hydrogen-containing gas (or a mixture of gas and atomized gas) is delivered during exhalation. In another specific embodiment, high-pressure positive pressure gas (or a mixture of gas and atomized gas) is delivered during inhalation, and low-pressure positive pressure gas (or a mixture of gas and atomized gas) is delivered during exhalation. That is, the monitoring device 4 can periodically generate the positive pressure gas based on the user's respiratory frequency.
[0088] This positive pressure ventilation device E is suitable for mildly ill patients or users who require respiratory support at a fixed pressure value. In practical use, the user simply needs to turn on the positive pressure ventilation device E before going to sleep. After the preset time has elapsed, the positive pressure ventilation device E will begin electrolysis at the set respiratory control parameters, supplying the user with positive pressure hydrogen-containing gas. The preset time can be set by the user or is the built-in time of the positive pressure ventilation device E itself.
[0089] According to relevant medical data, adults breathe approximately 16-20 times per minute during normal sleep, with an average airflow rate of 4-10 liters / minute per breath (actual values depend on each individual's lung capacity). The peak inspiratory pressure in adults during breathing is 10-20 cm-H2O (this varies from person to person, ranging from a minimum of 2-5 cm-H2O to a maximum of 30 cm-H2O). In patients with lung lesions, the peak inspiratory pressure also differs depending on the type of lung lesion: 20-25 cm-H2O for mild lung lesions, 25-30 cm-H2O for moderate lung lesions, and higher than 30 cm-H2O for severe lung lesions. It can even reach 60 cm-H2O in cases of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) or pulmonary hemorrhage. Based on this medical data, the total gas output that can be supplied by the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention is set to 10-12 L / min, of which approximately 3.0-4.5 L / min is used for hydrogen output during positive pressure breathing therapy for the user. The positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention can supply a minimum of 2 cmH2O and a maximum of 70 cmH2O, which the user can select. The positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention allows the user to set different pressure ranges. For example, when setting a single range, the ranges can be 2-25 cmH2O, 3-20 cmH2O, 3-25 cmH2O, 3-33 cmH2O, 4-20 cmH2O, 4-35 cmH2O, 5-18 cmH2O, 5-20 cmH2O, 5-33 cmH2O, 5-60 cmH2O, 6-50 cmH2O, or the maximum value can be 35 cmH2O or 30 cmH2O. When setting multiple ranges, the inhalation range is 3-30 cmH2O and the exhalation range is 3-20 cmH2O. The inspiratory frequency range is 4-40 cmH2O or 5-30 cmH2O. The inspiratory pressure range can be 4-30 cmH2O, 4-40 cmH2O, 3-30 cmH2O, or a maximum of 20 cmH2O. The respiratory pressure range can be 2-30 cmH2O, 2-40 cmH2O, or 3-20 cmH2O. As long as the set range is within the range that can be operated with the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention, the user can set it based on the physician's suggestion or their personal preference and needs. This achieves the best and most comfortable therapeutic effect.In addition, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention can be used continuously for 12 hours, has a power of 1000W or less, and a atomization volume of more than 30mL.
[0090] In practical applications, the positive pressure breathing apparatus E of the present invention can monitor high pressure, low pressure, low pressure delay, asphyxiation, low minute ventilation, high and low breathing frequencies, peak flow rate, and air leakage. Furthermore, within the altitude range of 0 to 2438 meters, pressure changes due to altitude are automatically compensated. Within the temperature range of 5 to 45°C, pressure fluctuations due to temperature changes are automatically compensated. In addition, automatic air leakage compensation can reach up to 60 L / min.
[0091] In one specific embodiment, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention is not limited to use for patients with sleep apnea syndrome, but can also be provided to patients with respiratory disorders such as Cheyne-Stokes respiration, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
[0092] Compared to well-known technologies, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention supplies hydrogen-containing gas or healthcare gas to be inhaled by the user when supplying positive pressure gas to the user. Therefore, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention can not only assist in the daily treatment of patients with sleep apnea syndrome and other respiratory disorders, but by supplying hydrogen-containing gas and healthcare gas to the user, it can also mitigate oxidative damage that may occur due to positive pressure ventilation in users who use the positive pressure breathing device E long-term. This oxidative damage occurs because the positive pressure breathing device continuously supplies an excess amount of gas at positive pressure to the user, causing the user to inhale excess gas. When the user inhales excess gas, the excess gas that cannot be used up in the user's body expands the alveoli, enters the digestive tract, and enters the body's crevices. As a result, the user's body suffers oxidative damage from the large amount of oxygen gas contained in the excess gas. In contrast, the positive pressure breathing device E of the present invention adds hydrogen-containing gas and healthcare gas to the positive pressure gas, which combines with excess oxygen gas in the gas to convert it into water, while also protecting the damaged body parts. This achieves antioxidant, anti-aging, chronic disease elimination, and cosmetic and healthcare effects.
