Method for manufacturing a negative ion device for preventing and treating airborne viral infections.

Abstract

This invention discloses a method for manufacturing a negative ion device for preventing and treating airborne viral infections. Specifically, water is added to tourmaline pebbles to moisten them, but not completely immerse them, and additional air pressure is applied to the surface of the wet tourmaline pebbles. The pressure of the tourmaline is used to generate a pressure-electric electrode that is far greater than the spontaneous polarization effect, ionizing surrounding water molecules to produce a large number of hydroxide and hydrogen ions. Hydrogen ions have a weaker electron-capturing ability compared to oxygen molecules and are the lightest substance, so they disperse immediately after being blown out by the fan, resulting in a very low content in the environment. After the hydroxide ions donate electrons, water and oxygen are produced, and the electrons that donate them combine with oxygen molecules blown in by the fan and oxygen molecules produced by their own reactions to form intrinsic negative ions by Brownian motion. Using these negative ions obtained through the Green method, it is possible to promote the decomposition of VOCs, condense and settle PM2.5, aerosols, bacteria, viruses, pollen, etc., inhibit or kill bacteria, change or reverse the polarity of the potential inside and outside the viral capsid, break down the viral spike, rapidly inactivate viruses, and prevent viruses from entering human cells by blocking electrostatic attraction between the viral receptor binding region and the cell membrane receptor. At the same time, it has other health and therapeutic effects such as alleviating respiratory allergies, improving respiratory and circulatory functions, aiding sleep, preventing fatigue, antioxidant, removing free radicals in the body, increasing the body's repair capacity, and enhancing immunity. It can also generate and replenish diffused oxygen and perform mist-free humidification.

Description

Detailed description of the invention

[0001] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the fields of negative ions, air purification and disinfection, medical devices, generation and replenishment of dispersed oxygen, and mist-free humidification technology, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a negative oxygen ion humidifier for preventing and treating airborne viral infections, which has other health and therapeutic effects such as generation and replenishment of dispersed oxygen, mist-free humidification, air purification and disinfection, alleviation of respiratory allergies, improvement of respiratory and circulatory functions, sleep aid, prevention of fatigue, antioxidant, removal of free radicals in the body, reduction of blood glucose and lipids, stimulation of bone marrow hematopoietic function, increase the body's repair capacity, and improved immunity. [Background technology]

[0002] Respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, are generally thought to be transmitted primarily through droplets released when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through contact with contaminants. However, an international interdisciplinary research team, through studying hypercontagious events during the COVID-19 pandemic and many other types of respiratory illnesses, has found that aerosols are likely the primary route of transmission for most respiratory illnesses. This includes SARS virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, influenza virus, measles virus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus, adenovirus, enterovirus, and rhinovirus, which causes the common cold. The omicron variant of COVID-19 is the most positively charged to date, while the ACE2 receptor of COVID-19 is largely negatively charged. The extremely high infectivity of COVID-19 is due to this relatively distant Coulombic force. The hemagglutinin protein (HA), involved in the entry of the influenza virus, carries a slightly positive charge, which causes it to bind to the strongly negatively charged sialic acid receptor via electrostatic attraction. Therefore, an ideal and safe method for preventing and treating respiratory viruses is small particle size and high concentration of negative ions. Small particle size and high concentration of negative ions are highly active, travel long distances, and easily penetrate the human bloodstream. They can bind to substances in the air such as PM2.5, aerosols, bacteria, viruses, and pollen, causing aggregation and precipitation. At the same time, they can inhibit bacteria, change or reverse the polarity of the potential inside and outside the viral capsid, break down the viral spike, rapidly inactivate the virus, block electrostatic attraction between the viral receptor binding region and the cell membrane receptor, and prevent the virus from entering human cells. They can also promote the decomposition of VOCs such as formaldehyde and toluene in the air. It has other health and therapeutic effects, such as alleviating respiratory allergies, improving respiratory and circulatory function, aiding sleep, preventing fatigue, acting as an antioxidant, removing free radicals from the body, lowering blood sugar and lipids, stimulating bone marrow hematopoietic function, increasing the body's repair capacity, and improving immunity. 〔Summary of the Invention〕

[0003] Existing methods for generating negative ions are mainly obtained by ionizing air with a high-voltage negative electrode, which has problems such as large particle size, short movement distance, inability to perform Brownian motion, low activity, ozone pollution, and generation of a large amount of static electricity. There is also a method of generating negative ions using high-energy rare earth or high-energy rare earth composite tourmaline powder, but there are potential problems such as nuclear radiation pollution, problems of continuous emission, low concentration and amount of spontaneous generation of negative ions in tourmaline. There is also a method of preparing negative ions by ionizing water mist, but since the electrons generated by the negative electrode are not timely bound and not removed by sufficient oxygen molecules, the number of actually generated negative ions is limited. Currently, the device for generating and replenishing diffused oxygen is generally achieved by separating oxygen from air or electrolyzing water, which has problems such as high energy consumption and difficulty in concentration control, resulting in waste. Mist-free humidification generally easily causes the growth of mold and bacteria and requires frequent filter replacement.

[0004] 〔Technical Solution〕 The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a negative ion purification and disinfection, dispersed oxygen generation and replenishment, and mist-free humidification device that has functions for preventing and treating airborne viral infections, as well as for other health and therapeutic purposes, in order to solve the aforementioned technical problems. To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution (Figure 1): by installing an automatic differential pressure water replenisher, water for replenishment is added to the tourmaline crushed stone that is firmly laid or bonded to the base, the highest replenishment water level is positioned near the point where the upper layer of tourmaline crushed stone is submerged, and the upper layer of tourmaline crushed stone is moistened using capillary action caused by the surface tension of the water, but kept from being completely submerged. When a low-current fan is used to continuously supply air to the box, the damp tourmaline crushed stone in the upper layer inside the box generates a much larger pressure-electric electrode than the spontaneous polarization effect due to the sustained air pressure, ionizing the surrounding water molecules and generating a large number of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Hydrogen ions have a much weaker electron-capturing ability than oxygen molecules and are the lightest substance, so after being blown out by the fan they quickly dissipate, resulting in very low levels in the environment. Hydroxide ions supply electrons to generate water and oxygen, and these electrons combine with the continuously blown-in oxygen molecules and the oxygen molecules generated by their own reactions to form small-particle, high-concentration negative ions, which are continuously blown out by the fan, simultaneously generating and replenishing dispersed oxygen and providing mist-free humidification.The small particle size and high concentration of negative ions released by the above scheme can promote the decomposition of harmful VOCs such as formaldehyde and toluene in the air. These can bind to substances such as PM2.5, aerosols, bacteria, viruses, and pollen in the air, causing aggregation and precipitation. This can inhibit or kill bacteria, change or reverse the polarity of the potential inside and outside the viral capsid, break down the viral spike, rapidly inactivate viruses, and block electrostatic attraction between the viral receptor binding region and the cell membrane receptor, preventing viruses from entering human cells. This also has other health and therapeutic effects, such as alleviating respiratory allergies, improving respiratory and circulatory functions, enhancing human immunity, stimulating bone marrow hematopoietic function, aiding sleep, preventing fatigue, removing free radicals from the body, lowering blood sugar and lipids, and enhancing the body's repair capacity.

[0005] [Advantageous effects] Compared to existing technologies, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that by adding water, the upper layer of tourmaline crushed stone is moistened without completely immersing them, and at the same time, air pressure is applied to it, and the piezoelectric polarization effect of tourmaline is used to ionize surrounding water molecules to generate hydroxide ions and hydrogen ions. After the hydrogen ions are blown out, they are rapidly dispersed from the environment, and the hydroxide ions supply electrons to generate water and oxygen. These supplying electrons combine with the continuously blown oxygen molecules and the oxygen molecules generated by their own reaction to generate a large number of small particle sizes and high concentrations of negative ions with Brownian motion. It can be used for the generation and replenishment of dispersed oxygen, mist-free humidification, air purification and disinfection, rapid precipitation and inactivation of environmental viruses, prevention of virus entry into human cells via electrostatic force, and killing extracellular viruses. At the same time, it has no toxic side effects, does not limit the user base, and has other health and therapeutic effects, being particularly suitable for individuals with weakened immune systems. The generation of negative ions and oxygen, and mist-free humidification, are adjusted according to the control of negative ion concentration and humidity in the environment. This prevents personal injury due to high negative ion concentration and humidity, and also avoids problems such as ozone, positive charge accumulation, static electricity, and radioactive contamination. The tourmaline crushed stone has antibacterial, germicidal, antifungal, and purifying functions during use, so it can be repeatedly washed and reused without additional filter consumables, and its lifespan can be extended by simply replacing the fan and water bottle accessories. By using a water-resistant epoxy resin adhesive to bond a single layer of crushed stone to the base, the amount of crushed stone is saved, water level determination is made easier, and problems such as dirt and bacterial growth in the lower layer of crushed stone are avoided.

[0009] [Best form] Example 1: As shown in Figure 1, using a water-resistant epoxy resin adhesive, chamfered and frosted tourmaline crushed stone of a specific particle size is uniformly and firmly bonded to a frosted ABS plastic bottom, tilted slightly downwards toward the water replenisher. Water is added and replenished using an automatic differential pressure water replenisher, and the crushed stone bonded to the bottom is wet with water by utilizing the capillary action of water, but not completely submerged. A low-current fan is used to blow air over the tourmaline crushed stone inside the box, generating and replenishing small particle sizes, high concentration, high activity negative ions, and dispersed oxygen, as well as humidifying the air.

[0010] [Mode of the Invention] Case 2: As shown in Figure 1, tourmaline crushed stone is firmly laid at the bottom of a plastic box and wrapped in a stainless steel mesh. Water is added using a differential pressure water replenisher until the upper layer of tourmaline crushed stone is wet but not completely submerged. A low-current fan is used to blow air onto the tourmaline crushed stone inside the box, generating and replenishing small particle size, high concentration, high activity negative ions, and dispersible oxygen, as well as humidifying the air.

[0011] [Industrial applicability] When bonding chamfered and frosted tourmaline pebbles to the bottom of a frosted ABS plastic box using water-resistant epoxy resin adhesive, a hairdryer can be used to remotely heat the pebbles and adhesive at the bottom of the box with low airflow to improve the fluidity of the adhesive. The bottom of the box can then be shaken to evenly and firmly distribute the pebbles and ensure they are in full contact with the adhesive. Heating can then be continued to promote the solidification of the adhesive. The far-infrared emission function of the tourmaline pebbles allows for slow heat dissipation, and intermittent spraying and heating can accelerate solidification. After sufficient hardening, the box can be inverted, and any excess unbonded pebbles can be blown away using a hairdryer to aid further heating and solidification. The subsequent assembly work can then be carried out, making it suitable for large-scale industrial production. Automatic differential pressure water refillers, manufactured by bottle extrusion blow molding technology, can be manufactured and sold in the form of complete machines or accessories, combined with suitable threaded bottle caps. They are secured to the ABS bottom box grid with reverse buckles, making them convenient and practical. The low-current fan module, equipped with a plastic baffle, can reduce air backflow, increase air circulation and exchange, and significantly improve overall efficiency. It is designed as a flexible, disassemblable unit that allows for easy cleaning and replacement.
