Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hydrogen gas generator, and more particularly to a hydrogen gas generator having a hydrogen gas leak self-check function. [Background technology]

[0002] Since ancient times, humans have conducted extensive research into extending life and developed numerous medical technologies, all of which were aimed at treating diseases. However, compared with the passive treatments of the past, recent medical technology developments have placed greater emphasis on active preventive medicine, such as health food research, screening for hereditary diseases, and preventative medicine to avoid risk factors. In addition, in order to extend human lifespan, numerous anti-aging and antioxidant technologies, including topical skin care products and antioxidant foods / drugs, have gradually been developed and are widely used by the general public.

[0003] Research has revealed the following: Various factors (e.g., disease, diet, environmental conditions, and lifestyle habits) cause the generation of unstable oxygen (O+) (also known as free radicals, or harmful free radicals) in humans. Free radicals are atoms, molecules, or ions with a single unpaired electron. Free radicals attack cell membranes, cells, and tissues in the human body, stealing electrons from other atoms and causing a chain reaction of peroxidation within the body. Peroxidation causes degenerative syndromes within the human body, such as weakened blood vessels, aging of brain cells, weakened immune systems, cataracts, osteoarthritis, sagging skin, and general aging. Meanwhile, numerous studies have shown that hydrogen water, due to its small molecular size, easily enters cellular pathways and is absorbed, contributing to the body's metabolism and promoting cellular detoxification. Drinking hydrogen water indirectly reduces the number of free radicals in the human body, returning an acidic body constitution to a healthy alkaline one, and achieving the effects of eliminating chronic diseases and beauty and health care.

[0004] In conventional technology, hydrogen-containing gas and hydrogen-containing water can be generated using a hydrogen gas generator or hydrogen water generator. However, many hydrogen gas generators or hydrogen water generators lack a hydrogen gas leak self-check function. Furthermore, many conventional hydrogen gas generators or hydrogen water generators have undergone research and development to improve their hydrogen gas generation efficiency. However, hydrogen gas itself is highly flammable and explosive, and can burn at a volume ratio in air between 4 and 75%. Furthermore, when the hydrogen gas / air mixture concentration is between 4 and 74%, an explosive mixture may be formed, which can be ignited by a spark, high temperature, or sunlight. Furthermore, hydrogen gas is colorless and tasteless. Therefore, it is difficult for humans to detect hydrogen gas leaks, raising the risk of hydrogen gas explosions. In light of these factors, providing a hydrogen gas generator with a hydrogen gas leak self-check function is currently an urgent research and development issue. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0035] Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a specific embodiment of a hydrogen gas generator E with a hydrogen gas leak self-check function according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the hydrogen gas generator E with a hydrogen gas leak self-check function according to the present invention includes a water tank 21, an electrolysis module 22, an integrated flow path device 23, a humidification cup 25, an atomizer 28, a casing 10, an internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12, and a monitoring device 11. The electrolysis module 22 is installed in the water tank 21 and electrolyzes electrolyzed water to generate hydrogen-containing gas, which is then delivered to the water tank 21. The casing 10 has an accommodation space for accommodating the water tank 21, the electrolysis module 22, the integrated flow path device 23, the humidification cup 25, and the atomizer 28. The internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 is used to detect the hydrogen gas concentration inside the hydrogen gas generator (e.g., detect the hydrogen gas concentration near the water tank 21, electrolysis module 22, integrated flow path device 23, humidification cup 25, atomizer 28, etc.) and generate an internal detection result. In one embodiment, the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 detects the hydrogen gas concentration inside the casing 10 to determine whether hydrogen gas is leaking to the outside from the water tank 21, electrolysis module 22, integrated flow path device 23, humidification cup 25, atomizer 28, etc. The monitoring device 11 is connected to the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 and controls the operation of the hydrogen gas generator E based on the internal detection result.

[0036] The monitoring device 11 controls the operation of the hydrogen gas generator E mainly by controlling the electrolysis module 22, the fan 14, the heat dissipation fan 15, or a combination of these components. See FIGS. 1 to 3. FIGS. 2 and 3 are further functional block diagrams based on FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the monitoring device 11 can be connected to the electrolysis module 22 and can stop the operation of the electrolysis module 22 or reduce the operating efficiency of the electrolysis module 22 based on the internal detection results. The monitoring device 11 reduces or stops the production of hydrogen-containing gas, thereby reducing the hydrogen gas concentration within the casing 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the monitoring device 11 can be connected to a fan 14 that can be used to draw gas outside the casing 10 into the storage space, thereby diluting the hydrogen gas concentration within the casing 10. The fan 14 can be fitted to the casing 10 or disposed within the casing 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the monitoring device 11 can be connected to a heat dissipation fan 15. The heat dissipation fan 15 is fitted to or disposed within the casing 10. During operation of the hydrogen gas generator E, the heat dissipation fan 15 can be used to draw cool air from outside the casing 10 into the accommodation space, thereby dissipating heat from the hydrogen gas generator E and lowering its temperature. When the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 detects an abnormality in the hydrogen gas concentration within the casing 10, the monitoring device 11 can control the rotation speed and direction of the heat dissipation fan 15 based on the internal detection result. Therefore, the monitoring device 11 may accelerate the dilution of the hydrogen gas concentration by increasing the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 15, or may directly change the rotation direction of the heat dissipation fan 15 to change the intake of external gas to the extraction of internal gas, thereby reducing the hydrogen gas concentration within the accommodation space.

[0037] The difference between the heat dissipation fan 15 and the fan 14 is as follows: The heat dissipation fan 15 operates even if there is no hydrogen gas leakage. This is because the purpose of the operation of the heat dissipation fan 15 is to dissipate heat within the hydrogen gas generator E. On the other hand, the purpose of the operation of the fan 14 is to dilute the hydrogen gas concentration, so it is mainly activated and operates when hydrogen gas leaks. In practice, the monitoring device 11 may control at least one of the electrolysis module 22, the fan 14, and the heat dissipation fan 15, or may control at least two of them simultaneously. In addition, the monitoring device 11 may be configured to reduce the hydrogen gas concentration by adjusting and controlling different components in different ways depending on the hydrogen gas concentration.

[0038] In addition to monitoring the hydrogen gas concentration within the accommodation space using the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention can achieve the most complete monitoring by monitoring the hydrogen gas concentration outside the casing 10 using an external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13. Please refer to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a further functional block diagram based on FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention further includes an external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 installed outside the casing 10 and connected to a monitoring device 11. In one embodiment, the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 is attached to a separate power outlet that can supply electricity to the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13. The external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 can be used to detect the hydrogen gas concentration outside the casing 10 and generate an external detection result. The monitoring device 11 can control the operation of the hydrogen gas generator E based on the external detection result, just as it can based on the internal detection result. The external hydrogen gas sensing assembly 13 may include a wireless transmission module (not shown; for example, a Bluetooth, WiFi, or other module) that communicates with the monitoring device 11 of the hydrogen gas generator E. In another embodiment, the external hydrogen gas sensing assembly 13 may include a power line network transmission module that communicates with the monitoring device 11 of the hydrogen gas generator E.

[0039] In addition to the above control methods, the monitoring device 11 may also perform different controls based on the internal and external detection results. It should be noted here that the conditions under which the internal and external hydrogen gas detection assemblies 12 and 13 generate the internal and external detection results may include, but are not limited to, the following:

[0040] 1. When the hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a preset reference value or range, an internal detection result and an external detection result are generated.

[0041] 2. As long as hydrogen gas generator E is operating, it continues to generate internal and external detection results.

[0042] 3. If the hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a preset reference value or range, the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 and the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 continue to generate internal and external detection results until the hydrogen gas concentration falls below the preset reference value or range. The monitoring device 11 may start control immediately upon receiving the internal and external detection results, or may adjust the items and content of control depending on the difference in the hydrogen gas concentration ranges in the internal and external detection results.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, when the internal hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a first reference value or falls within a first reference range, the monitoring device 11 reduces the electrolysis efficiency of the electrolysis module 22 to reduce hydrogen gas generation, and increases the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 15 or activates the fan 14. In another embodiment, when the internal hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a first reference value or falls within the first reference range, the monitoring device 11 stops the operation of the electrolysis module 22. When the internal hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a second reference value or falls within the second reference range, the monitoring device 11 stops the operation of the electrolysis module 22 and increases the rotation speed of the fan 14 or changes the rotation direction of the heat dissipation fan 15. Note that the first reference value or the first reference range is lower than the second reference value or the second reference range. In one embodiment, the first reference value may be 2%, and the second reference value may be 4%. The first reference range may be set to 0.5 to 2%, and the second reference range may be set to 2 to 4%, although the present invention is not limited to this.

[0044] In another specific embodiment, when the internal hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a third reference value or falls within a third reference range, the monitoring device 11 reduces the operating efficiency of the electrolysis module 22 and increases the rotation speed of the heat dissipation fan 15 or activates the fan 14. When the external hydrogen gas concentration exceeds a fourth reference value or falls within a fourth reference range, the monitoring device 11 stops the operation of the electrolysis module 22 and increases the rotation speed of the fan 14 or changes the rotation direction of the heat dissipation fan 15. If the external hydrogen gas concentration can be detected, this indicates that the internal hydrogen gas concentration may be excessively high. Therefore, the third reference value or the third reference range is higher than the fourth reference value or the fourth reference range. In one embodiment, the third reference value may be 2%, and the fourth reference value may be 1%. The third reference range may be 1-2%, and the fourth reference range may be 0.5-1%. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0045] In the event of a hydrogen gas leak, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention not only immediately adjusts the hydrogen gas concentration, but also provides the location of the possible leak so that a user or maintenance personnel can quickly remedy the leak problem in the hydrogen gas generator E. The internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 of the present invention has multiple internal hydrogen gas detection elements 121. The monitoring device 11 stores location information for the installation positions corresponding to each internal hydrogen gas detection element 121 within the hydrogen gas generator E. When any of the internal hydrogen gas detection elements 121 generates an internal detection result, the monitoring device 11 can display the location information of the internal hydrogen gas detection element 121 that generated the internal detection result to notify the user or maintenance personnel. The monitoring device 11 may arrange or predict the hydrogen gas leak location according to differences in hydrogen gas concentration in the internal detection results, or may arrange or predict the hydrogen gas leak location according to the time the internal detection result was generated.

[0046] 5A and 5B are combined references. Figures 5A and 5B are schematic diagrams illustrating the use of the external hydrogen gas sensing assembly. The external hydrogen gas sensing assembly 13 may have the following installation modes:

[0047] 1. Attach to the outside of the casing 10.

[0048] 2. The external hydrogen gas sensing assembly 13 is configured with a plug (not shown) that is plugged directly into a power outlet S adjacent to the power plug 16 of the hydrogen gas generator E (see FIG. 5A).

[0049] 3. The external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 has a structure including a plug and outlet 133, and is inserted directly into a power outlet S. In addition, the power plug 16 of the hydrogen gas generator E is inserted into the outlet 133 of the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 (see FIG. 5B).

[0050] In the third installation mode, if the hydrogen gas concentration becomes excessively high, the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 can directly shut off the power supplied from the power outlet S, thereby directly shutting down the hydrogen gas generator E. Additionally, the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 can be used as a night light and may include a light-sensing element 131 and a lighting element 132. The light-sensing element 131 can be used to detect the ambient brightness and generate a light-on signal or a light-off signal. The lighting element 132 is connected to the light-sensing element 131 and can be used to turn on the lighting function based on the light-on signal or turn off the lighting function based on the light-off signal. When the ambient brightness is lower than a reference brightness value, the light-sensing element 131 generates a light-on signal, and the lighting element 132 turns on the lighting function based on the light-on signal. When the ambient brightness is higher than the reference brightness value, the light-sensing element 131 generates a light-off signal, and the lighting element 132 turns off the lighting function based on the light-off signal. In another embodiment, the external hydrogen gas sensing assembly 13 may be plugged into a power outlet S, and the power plug 16 of the hydrogen gas generator E may be plugged into a separate power outlet, with a certain distance between the power outlet S and the separate power outlet.

For example, the humidifying cup 25 may be vertically stacked on the water tank 21, the integrated flow path device 23 may be vertically stacked on the humidifying cup 25, and finally, the condensation filter device 24 may be placed in the receiving space within the integrated flow path device 23. The electrolysis module 22 is used to electrolyze electrolyzed water to generate hydrogen-containing gas. This hydrogen-containing gas may contain partial hydrogen gas and partial oxygen gas (e.g., about 66% hydrogen gas and about 33% oxygen gas). Alternatively, in other embodiments, the hydrogen-containing gas may contain 100% hydrogen gas.

In actual application, the condensation filter device 24 can be fitted into the integrated flow path device 23 and pulled out from the side of the integrated flow path device 23, making it easy to replace, without having to disassemble the entire hydrogen gas generator E for replacement. In addition, the filter rod 262 can be fitted to the lower cover 231 and used to filter the hydrogen-containing gas. The atomizer 28 is fitted to the lower cover 231 and connected to the exhaust flow path 233 to receive the hydrogen-containing gas. The atomizer 28 also generates atomized gas and mixes it with the hydrogen-containing gas to form health care gas. The hydrogen water cup 27 can be used to store drinking water and to inject hydrogen-containing gas into drinking water to form hydrogen-containing water. In practical application, the hydrogen water cup 27 can be connected to (or directly connected to) the integrated flow path device 23 after being fitted into the frame 270. If the hydrogen water cup 27 is detached from the frame 270 and not connected to the integrated flow path device 23, the electrolysis module 22 will stop operating and a warning message will be displayed on the screen of the hydrogen gas generator E. The air supply path 232 and the exhaust path 233 can be selectively connected to the hydrogen water cup 27, and the gas communication path 234 can be selectively connected to the air supply path 232 and the exhaust path 233.

[0053] In this way, hydrogen-containing gas can be transported from the integrated flow path device 23 to the humidifier cup 25, the condensation filter device 24, the filter rod 262, the atomizer 28, and the hydrogen water cup 27. This reduces the overall gas flow path of the hydrogen gas generator and reduces or eliminates the need to connect different modules using connecting gas tubes with both ends, thereby reducing the probability of hydrogen gas leakage. In a specific embodiment, the humidifier cup 25, the condensation filter device 24, the filter rod 262, the atomizer 28, and the hydrogen water cup 27 are fitted to or directly connected to the integrated flow path device 23. For example, the humidifier cup 25, the condensation filter device 24, and the atomizer 28 can be directly connected to the lower cover 231, and the hydrogen water cup 27 can also be directly connected to the lower cover 231.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the electrolysis module 22 can be accommodated in the water tank 21 and can receive electrolyzed water from the water tank 21 and generate hydrogen-containing gas by electrolyzing it. After the electrolysis module 22 electrolyzes the electrolyzed water, the electrolysis module 22 directly generates hydrogen-containing gas in the water tank 21. In practical application, the water tank 21 can have a honeycomb structure 212 on its outer periphery. This improves the rigidity of the water tank 21, thereby preventing the hydrogen-containing gas from expanding and deforming the water tank 21. In addition, the honeycomb structure 212 is useful for allowing the hydrogen-containing gas to move toward the communication chamber 250 due to the rigidity of the water tank 21, without remaining in the water tank 21 and expanding it.

[0055] The humidifying cup 25 includes a humidifying chamber 251, a communication chamber 250, and a filter chamber 252. The humidifying chamber 251 contains make-up water and can be used to humidify the hydrogen-containing gas. The communication chamber 250 connects the water tank 21 and the integrated flow path device 23, allowing the hydrogen-containing gas to enter the condensation flow path 241. In this embodiment, an atomization device 261 is installed in the humidifying cup 25. The bottom of the atomization device 261 includes a flat portion having a plurality of micropores. After entering the atomization device 261, the hydrogen-containing gas is sent out through the plurality of micropores and flows into the make-up water in the humidifying chamber 251. The filter chamber 252 contains a filter rod 262 and can be used to filter the hydrogen-containing gas using the filter rod 262. The communication chamber 250 and the humidifying chamber 251 are not directly connected to each other. In addition, the lower cover 231 of the integrated flow path device 23 further has a condensation communication path 2312, a humidification communication path 2313, and a filter communication path 2314. The condensation communication path 2312 is used to communicate between the water tank 21 and the condensation filter device 24 via the communication chamber 250, and the humidification communication path 2313 is used to communicate between the condensation filter device 24 (or the condensation flow path 241) and the humidification chamber 251. The filter communication path 2314 is used to communicate between the humidification chamber 251 and the filter chamber 252. A filter rod 262 is installed in the filter chamber 252 and connected to the air supply path 232, and delivers filtered hydrogen-containing gas. The filter rod 262 is removably disposed in the filter chamber 252.

[0056] More specifically, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention has a gas path as shown in FIG. 7A for flowing hydrogen-containing gas by stacking and fitting the integrated flow path device 23 and other components. For a clearer explanation of the flow direction of the hydrogen-containing gas, refer to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the flow direction of the hydrogen-containing gas in the hydrogen gas generator E based on FIG. 7A. As shown in FIG. 10, the electrolysis module 22 electrolyzes electrolyzed water to generate hydrogen-containing gas. Furthermore, since the electrolysis module 22 can be installed in the water tank 21, the hydrogen-containing gas is delivered to and stored in the water tank 21. To reduce the overall gas path space of the hydrogen gas generator E, the water level in the water tank 21 is set close to the full water level, for example, close to 90-99% of the height of the water tank body 210. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas immediately enters the communication chamber 250 of the humidification cup 25 after separating from the water surface of the water tank 21. Next, the hydrogen-containing gas passes through the communication chamber 250 of the humidification cup 25, the condensation communication passage 2312 of the integrated flow passage device 23, the condensation passage 241 of the condensation filter device 24, the humidification communication passage 2313 of the integrated flow passage device 23, the humidification chamber 251 of the humidification cup 25, the filter communication passage 2314 of the integrated flow passage device 23, the filter rod 262 in the filter chamber 252 of the humidification cup 25, the air intake passage 232 and the exhaust passage 233 of the integrated flow passage device 23, the flame arrestor 264, and the atomizer 28, in that order. The hydrogen-containing gas can also selectively pass through the hydrogen-water cup 27. However, it should be understood that the above-described flow direction of the hydrogen-containing gas is one embodiment of the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can freely adjust the order of the components as needed, and the above is not limiting. The humidifying cup 25, the condensation filter device 24, the filter rod 262, the atomizer 28, and the hydrogen-containing water cup 27 are fitted into, fitted into, or directly connected to the integrated flow path device 23, so that the hydrogen-containing gas is transported from the integrated flow path device 23 to the condensation filter device 24, the humidifying cup 25, the filter rod 262, the hydrogen-containing water cup 27, and the atomizer 28. In addition, since the water level in the water tank 21 is nearly full, the overall gas flow path of the hydrogen gas generator is reduced.Therefore, the amount of hydrogen-containing gas remaining in the hydrogen gas generator is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of a hydrogen explosion and damage. Naturally, the hydrogen-containing gas is transported from the integrated flow path device 23 to the condensation filter device 24, the humidification cup 25, the filter rod 262, the hydrogen water cup 27, and the atomizer 28. However, in other embodiments, the order of passage is not limited to the above. For example, the filter rod 262 may be disposed between the hydrogen water cup 27 and the atomizer 28. As a result, the hydrogen-containing gas is transported from the integrated flow path device 23 to the condensation filter device 24, the humidification cup 25, the hydrogen water cup 27, the filter rod 262, and the atomizer 28 in this order, or to the humidification cup 25, the condensation filter device 24, the filter rod 262, the hydrogen water cup 27, and the atomizer 28 in this order.

[0057] In one embodiment, the hydrogen-containing gas supply system may further include a filter 263 capable of filtering microorganisms in the hydrogen-containing gas or killing bacteria in the hydrogen-containing gas. The components in the filter 263 may include at least one of activated carbon, nanosilver sputtering, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP) fiber cloth. The antibacterial type may include Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can add multiple filters 263 and adjust their installation positions as needed, and the above is not limiting. The filter 263 may be installed as a disposable replacement part before the flame arrestor 264 (see FIG. 10A ), inside the atomizer 28, or at the outlet of the atomizer 28.

[0058] In one embodiment, the flame arrester 264 may include at least one of a metal mesh filter cartridge and a corrugated filter cartridge. The metal mesh filter cartridge may be made of stainless steel or copper mesh with a diameter of 0.23 to 0.315 mm and may be constructed by stacking multiple layers. The corrugated filter cartridge may be supported by stainless steel, a copper-nickel alloy, aluminum, or an aluminum alloy. It can be used to block intense flames caused by combustion and can withstand the corresponding mechanical and thermal energy effects. The flame arrester 264 can be used to separate two spaces by preventing the source of fire from passing through the flame arrester 264. This prevents the fire from spreading from one side of the flame arrester 264 to the other, which could lead to the fire spreading through the gas flow path and causing an explosion. In this embodiment, the flame arrester 264 is installed between the atomizer 28 and the exhaust flow path 233. Furthermore, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention not only prevents the spread of fire using flame arrester 264, but also achieves multi-section fire prevention by utilizing the replenishment water in humidification chamber 251 and the electrolyzed water in water tank 21. More specifically, hydrogen gas generator E can be divided into three sections by the internal water (replenishment water and electrolyzed water): from water tank 21 to humidification chamber 251, from humidification chamber 251 to flame arrester 264, and from flame arrester 264 to atomizer 28 (extending further to the user side). If fire enters the interior of hydrogen gas generator E from the atomizer 28 side, the fire is blocked by flame arrester 264. Furthermore, if fire breaks out in the gas flow path between humidification chamber 251 and flame arrester 264, the fire is prevented by the replenishment water in humidification chamber 251 and flame arrester 264. Furthermore, if a fire breaks out in the electrolysis module 22, the fire will be contained by the electrolyzed water in the water tank 21. Furthermore, not only can multi-section fire protection be achieved, but multi-stage fire protection can also be achieved. For example, even if the flame arrestor 264 is unable to block the fire when the fire advances from the atomizer 28 to the hydrogen gas generator E, a second stage of fire protection can be achieved by supplying make-up water to the humidification chamber 251.This significantly improves the safety of the hydrogen gas generator E during use. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can add multiple flame arresters 264 and adjust their installation positions as needed to achieve more sections and more levels of fire protection, and the above is not limiting. In one embodiment, the hydrogen-containing gas is transported sequentially through the condensation filter device 24, the humidification cup 25, the hydrogen water cup 27, the filter rod 262, and the atomizer 28. The flame arrester is installed between the filter rod 262 and the atomizer 28. The flame arrester may be located at the outlet of the filter rod 262 and be part of the filter rod 262 so that it can be replaced together when the filter rod 262 is replaced. Alternatively, the flame arrester may be located at the inlet of the atomizer 28.

[0059] Referring again to FIG. 9 , in order to clearly show the interior of the condensation filter device 24, the air intake passage 232, the exhaust passage 233, and the gas communication passage 234, the lid of the condensation filter device 24 and the upper cover 230 of the integrated passage device 23 are not shown. From FIG. 9 , the relative positions of the filter chamber 252, the air intake passage 232, the gas communication passage 234, the hydrogen water cup 27, the exhaust passage 233, and the atomizer 28 can be clearly seen. Furthermore, the solid and dotted arrows indicate the flow direction of the hydrogen-containing gas. Generally, the hydrogen-containing gas reaches the atomizer 28 by passing through the filter chamber 252, the air intake passage 232, the hydrogen water cup 27, and the exhaust passage 233 in this order. Furthermore, as the hydrogen-containing gas passes through the hydrogen-water cup 27, it is injected into the drinking water in the hydrogen-water cup 27 to form hydrogen-containing water. However, since noise occurs when the hydrogen-containing gas passes through the hydrogen water cup 27 and generates bubbles, the hydrogen-containing gas may not enter the hydrogen water cup 27, but may instead enter the exhaust passage 233 from the air supply passage 232 via the gas communication passage 234 along the direction of the dotted arrow. In this case, the problem of noise caused by the hydrogen-containing gas passing through the hydrogen water cup 27 and generating bubbles does not occur. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas can selectively pass through the hydrogen water cup 27.

[0060] The condensation flow path 241 in the condensation filter device 24 is formed via a plurality of spacers 2315. A filter cotton 235 can be accommodated in the condensation flow path 241. The filter cotton 235 can be made of at least one of steel wool and polyester staple fiber. The filter cotton 235 is used to filter impurities in the hydrogen-containing gas, such as electrolytes and alkaline mist. A heat dissipation fin (not shown) can be installed on the filter cotton 235. When the filter cotton 235 is in close contact with the heat dissipation fin, the filter cotton 235 can transfer thermal energy in the hydrogen-containing gas to the outside, thereby enhancing the condensation effect. In practical applications, the filter cotton 235 can be an integrally molded structure. The filter cotton 235 has holes corresponding to the installation positions of the spacers 2315. When fitting the cotton-like filter 235 into the condensation channel 241, the cotton-like filter 235 can be directly connected to the corresponding spacer 2315 to improve the tightness between the condensation channel 241 and the cotton-like filter 235. This ensures that the hydrogen-containing gas passing through the condensation channel 241 can be filtered and condensed. The cotton-like filter 235 may be a separate structure including multiple sheets of synthetic fiber cotton, or may be an assembly including one or more sheets of steel wire and one or more sheets of synthetic fiber cotton. The cotton-like filter 235 can be used to primarily filter impurities in the hydrogen-containing gas. The spacer 2315 can be used to separate the multiple cotton-like filters 235. This prevents the cotton-like filters 235 from overlapping with each other or from coming into contact with each other and absorbing moisture, thereby reducing the condensation and moisture absorption effects.

[0061] The lower cover 231 of the integrated flow path device 23 may have a movable openable structure 2310 for forming one side edge surrounding the condensation filter accommodating space 2311. The condensation filter device 24 can be placed in the condensation filter accommodating space 2311 from the openable structure 2310. This allows the condensation filter device 24 to be selectively fitted into the lower cover 231. Therefore, in the hydrogen gas generator E, an operator can easily replace the condensation filter device 24 located in the condensation filter accommodating space 2311 by opening and closing this openable structure 2310.

[0062] In practical applications, the atomizer 28 further includes an atomizing and mixing chamber and an oscillator. The atomizing and mixing chamber can be used to load a precursor of the gas to be atomized and mix the atomized gas with a hydrogen-containing gas to form a healthcare gas. The oscillator is installed below the atomizing and mixing chamber and is used to atomize the precursor by vibration to form the desired atomized gas. The atomized gas can include at least one of water vapor, atomized medicinal liquid, and volatile essential oil.

[0063] Referring again to FIG. 7B , in actual application, the hydrogen gas generator E with hydrogen gas leakage self-checking function further includes a radiator 265. The radiator 265 is connected to the water tank 21. The radiator 265 includes a pipe structure, a plurality of heat-dissipating fins, and a spiral structure. The water tank 21 has a water-containing space, and the pipe structure is installed outside the water-containing space. The pipe structure has a water inlet pipe port and a water outlet pipe port communicating with the water-containing space for receiving and delivering electrolyzed water. The pipe structure passes through a plurality of heat-dissipating fins, and the spiral structure is installed within the pipe structure. The electrolysis module 22 is installed within the water tank 21 and communicates with the water-containing space, and can be used to electrolyze electrolyzed water to produce hydrogen-containing gas. The water tank upper cover 211 is coupled to the water tank body 210 to form a water-containing space for containing electrolyzed water. The radiator 265 also includes a bottom base. The bottom base is located on the water tank upper cover 211. The bottom base has a water inlet and a water outlet communicating with the water storage space. A pipe structure can be connected to the bottom base. The water inlet pipe is connected to the water storage space via the water inlet, and the water outlet pipe is connected to the water storage space via the water outlet to receive and deliver electrolyzed water. In a specific embodiment, the water tank upper cover 211 and the bottom base can be formed as an integral structure.

[0064] In another specific embodiment, a hydrogen gas generator E with a hydrogen gas leak self-check function includes an electrolysis module 22, an integrated flow path 23, an atomizer 28, a casing 10, an internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12, an external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13, and a monitoring device 11. The electrolysis module 22 is used to electrolyze electrolyzed water to generate hydrogen-containing gas. The integrated flow path device 23 is connected to the electrolysis module 22 and has an atomizer accommodating space. The atomizer 28 is connected to the integrated flow path device 23 and accommodated in the atomizer accommodating space to receive hydrogen-containing gas and to separately generate atomized gas and mix it with the hydrogen-containing gas to form a healthcare gas. The casing 10 has an accommodating space to accommodate the electrolysis module 22, the integrated flow path device 23, and the atomizer 28. The internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 is installed within the accommodation space and is used to detect the hydrogen gas concentration outside the electrolysis module 22, the integrated flow path device 23, and the atomizer 28 to generate an internal detection result. The external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13 is installed outside the casing 10 and is used to detect the hydrogen gas concentration outside the casing 10 to generate an external detection result. The monitoring device 11 is connected to the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 and the external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13. The monitoring device 11 controls the operation of the hydrogen gas generator E based on at least one of the internal detection result and the external detection result. The functions and effects of the components presented in this embodiment are similar to those of the components in the above-mentioned embodiments, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Compared with the prior art, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention has an internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12. When a hydrogen gas leakage problem occurs inside the casing 10, the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12 sends out an internal detection result, and the monitoring device 11 controls the operation of the hydrogen gas generator E according to the internal detection result. The control method of the monitoring device 11 includes the following:

[0066] 1. Controlling the electrolysis module 22 to slow down or stop operation reduces the amount or concentration of hydrogen gas produced to avoid the concentration of hydrogen gas leaks continuing to increase.

[0067] 2. The fan 14 is controlled to draw outside air into the casing 10, thereby reducing the hydrogen gas concentration inside the casing 10.

[0068] 3. By adjusting the heat dissipation fan 15, not only can outside air be drawn in, but the rotation direction of the heat dissipation fan 15 can also be directly changed to directly draw out the hydrogen gas inside, thereby rapidly reducing the hydrogen gas concentration.

[0069] In addition to the internal hydrogen gas detection assembly 12, the hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention may also include an external hydrogen gas detection assembly 13. This allows for the most complete control of the hydrogen gas concentration inside and outside the casing 10. The hydrogen gas generator E of the present invention has a hydrogen gas leak self-check function, which can prevent the occurrence of a hydrogen gas explosion during use of the hydrogen gas generator E, allowing users to use it with peace of mind.

[0070] The detailed description of the specific embodiments above is intended to more clearly describe the features and spirit of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to the specific embodiments disclosed above. Rather, the detailed description above is intended to cover various modifications and to place the same within the scope of the claims of the present invention with equivalents.
