Description

[Technical Field]

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

[0002] The human body is often affected by foreign substances or experiences abnormal metabolism, which constantly generates harmful radicals (peracids or peroxides). These harmful radicals constantly cause inflammation, stiffness, aging, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Hydrogen has strong reducing power, which can reduce the damage caused to cells by harmful radicals, increase immunity, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and promote health.

[0003] Therefore, prior art has proposed breathers that generate hydrogen and allow the user to absorb it when breathing. In other words, these hydrogen breathers provide a means for the user to ingest hydrogen through the respiratory system. To provide a gas suitable for human absorption, hydrogen breathers often produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water. Because electrolysis is a continuous process, hydrogen is also continuously generated. However, the human body's breathing has a certain rhythm, with pauses and exhalations between two inhalations. If a hydrogen breather continues to supply hydrogen even when the user exhales or pauses, this hydrogen will not be absorbed by the human body and will be wasted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[0018] With the above configuration, the present disclosure also provides a breather air supply method. First, water is electrolyzed in the electrolytic cell 10, continuously generating gas and supplying it to the air inlet 30. In this embodiment, hydrogen gas generated in the electrolytic cell 10 is supplied to the air inlet 30, but this is not limiting. Furthermore, when the pressure sensor 40 detects that the air pressure at the air inlet 30 falls below a first reference value, the valve 20 opens, connecting the electrolytic cell 10 to the air inlet 30, allowing the gas generated in the electrolytic cell 10 to be supplied to the air inlet 30. When the pressure sensor 40 detects that the air pressure at the air inlet 30 exceeds a second reference value, the valve 20 closes, preventing communication between the electrolytic cell 10 and the air inlet 30. As a result, the electrolytic cell 10 stops supplying gas to the air inlet 30.

[0019] The electrolytic cell 10 continuously electrolyzes water to generate gas, and continues to generate gas even when the valve 20 is closed. In this embodiment, to ensure smooth electrolysis, the gas generated when the valve 20 is closed is stored in the gas storage chamber. Specifically, in this embodiment, the gas storage chamber is elastic or a balloon. Therefore, after the gas generated when the valve 20 is closed enters the gas storage chamber, the gas storage chamber expands, but the increase in air pressure is small. When the air pressure at the air intake 30 decreases and the valve 20 opens, the air intake 30 is simultaneously connected to the electrolytic cell 10 and the gas storage chamber. Because the pressure in the gas storage chamber is high, the gas stored in the gas storage chamber is released all at once into the air intake 30, allowing the user to absorb it.

[0020] As described above, the breather and gas supply method of the present disclosure can be synchronized with the user's breathing rhythm, and gas generated by the breather is stored in the gas storage chamber during pauses between breaths or when the user exhales, and is released all at once when the user inhales. As a result, all generated gas is supplied to the user for intake and absorption at the appropriate time, which not only increases the efficiency and total amount of absorption, but also prevents the generated hydrogen gas from being wasted, thereby indirectly reducing the use of consumables.
