Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hydrogen generator, and more specifically, to a hydrogen generator having a detachable filtration structure. [Background Art]

[0002] Humans have traditionally attached great importance to life, and many medical technologies have been developed to fight diseases and prolong lifespan. Most conventional medical approaches are passive: when a disease occurs, palliative treatments are performed, such as surgery, medication, chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer, as well as recuperation, rehabilitation and correction for chronic diseases. However, in recent years, many medical experts have gradually turned to research in preventive medicine, including research on health food, screening and early prevention of genetic diseases, to more proactively prevent potential future onset. In addition, in order to prolong human lifespan, many anti-aging and anti-oxidation technologies have been gradually developed, and are widely accepted by the public, including topical care products and anti-oxidation foods / medicines.

[0003] Research results show that the human body produces reactive oxygen species (O+), also known as free radicals (harmful free radicals), due to various factors (diseases, diet, living environment, living habits, etc.). These reactive oxygen species can combine with inhaled hydrogen, partially turning into water that can be excreted from the body. By indirectly reducing the amount of free radicals in the human body and restoring an acidic constitution to a healthy alkaline constitution, anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects can be achieved, and the elimination of chronic diseases as well as beauty and healthcare benefits can also be obtained. In methods for increasing hydrogen inhalation volume, increasing the duration of hydrogen inhalation (e.g., using sleep time for hydrogen inhalation) can also effectively improve the effect of hydrogen inhalation.

[0004] Currently available hydrogen generators typically produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water containing electrolytes. Furthermore, when a hydrogen generator produces hydrogen-containing gas, it contains water vapor, which in turn contains small amounts of electrolytes. Therefore, to ensure users inhale high-purity hydrogen, conventional hydrogen generators include a filtration or condensation device to filter out electrolytes and impurities from the hydrogen-containing gas. Over time, the accumulation of large amounts of electrolytes and impurities in the filtration or condensation device can reduce its effectiveness. Additionally, during hydrogen generation, the electrolysis device's operating temperature rises due to the electrolytic action, and the temperature of the generated hydrogen-containing gas also increases. If the condensation device fails to effectively lower the temperature of the hydrogen-containing gas and condense the water vapor, users may inhale residual electrolytes or impurities, further reducing the perceived effectiveness. Therefore, the filtration and condensation devices must be regularly cleaned or washed to maintain their filtration and condensation effectiveness. However, the piping in typical hydrogen generators is all sealed and integrated, meaning that the filtration or condensing device cannot be cleaned without disassembling the entire hydrogen generator, complicating the cleaning process and reducing convenience.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of hydrogen generator to solve the problems of conventional technology. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4B. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure, based on a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the functions of the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure in Figure 1. Figure 3 shows an exploded view of the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure in Figure 1. Figure 4A shows an exploded view of the water tank 1 in Figure 1. Figure 4B shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the humidifier 4 in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 1 to 4B, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure includes a water tank 1, an electrolytic cell 2, an integrated flow channel device 3, a humidifier 4, a filtration flow channel device 5, and a condenser 6. The water tank 1 has a storage space 111 for storing electrolyzed water. The electrolytic cell 2 is installed in the storage space 111 of the water tank 1, takes in electrolyzed water from the water tank 1, electrolyzes it to produce hydrogen-containing gas, and sends it back to the water tank 1. The humidifier 4 is installed above the water tank 1 and takes in hydrogen-containing gas to humidify the water. The humidifier 4 includes a humidification chamber 40 and an air supply channel 41, the humidification chamber 40 and the air supply channel 41 being isolated from each other. The filtration channel device 5 is connected to the water tank 1, passing through the air supply channel 41 of the humidifier 4, and is used to take in and filter the hydrogen-containing gas produced in the electrolytic cell 2, and to send out the filtered hydrogen-containing gas. The condenser 6 is installed above the humidifier 4 and connected to the filtration channel device 5. The condenser 6 is used to take in and condense the hydrogen-containing gas sent out from the filtration channel device 5. The integrated channel device 3 is installed above the humidifier 4 and is located between the humidifier 4 and the condenser 6. The integrated channel device 3 is connected to the condenser 6 and the humidifier 4 and is used to introduce the hydrogen-containing gas sent out from the condenser 6 into the humidifier 4. The hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure of the present invention is a stacked assembly structure, and the arrangement from bottom to top is the water tank 1, humidifier 4, integrated channel device 3, and condenser 6.

[0038] In this specific embodiment, the outer walls of the water tank 1 and the humidifier 4 include a plurality of protruding rib structures 13, which form a honeycomb structure, and the shape formed by the protruding rib structures 13 is not limited to this. The plurality of protruding rib structures 13 are used to reinforce the structural strength of the water tank 1 and the humidifier 4, and prevent the water tank 1 and the humidifier 4 from deforming due to the pressure difference caused by the generation and flow of hydrogen-containing gas.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the water tank 1 may include a cover body 10 and a tank body 11, the tank body 11 may form a storage space 111 for storing electrolyzed water, and the cover body 10 may cover the tank body 11 and the storage space 111. Since the electrolytic cell 2 is installed in the storage space 111 of the tank body 11, the electrolytic cell 2 can be directly immersed in the water stored in the storage space 111, and by directly taking in the water necessary for electrolysis from the storage space 111, the connection of piping can be avoided. The electrolytic cell 2 includes an electrolytic cell fixing plate 21, an electrolytic cell body 210, and an electrode plate assembly 20 installed in the electrolytic cell body 210. For the sake of simplicity, Figure 2 shows only a portion of the anode plate 202 and a portion of the cathode plate 204 of the electrode plate assembly 20. In a specific embodiment, the electrode plate assembly 20 includes an anode plate 202, a cathode plate 204, and a bipolar electrode plate located between them. These electrode plates are arranged at predetermined intervals in the electrolytic cell body 210, so that electrode channels are formed between any two adjacent electrode plates, and multiple parallel electrode channels are formed by all the electrode plates, and the water in these channels is electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen, i.e., hydrogen-containing gas. The top of the electrolytic cell 210 is provided with multiple upper openings that can communicate with the electrode channels and the upper half of the containment space 111, respectively, and similarly, the bottom of the electrolytic cell body 210 is provided with multiple lower openings (not shown in Figure 4A) that can communicate with the electrode channels and the lower half of the containment space 111. Through the upper and lower openings, the electrolytic cell body 210 can take in water from the containment space 111, send it to the electrode channels for electrolysis, and send the hydrogen-containing gas produced by electrolysis from the electrode channels back into the containment space 111. As a result, the electrolysis module of the hydrogen generator in the present invention includes a housing in which the entire structure is located within a water tank, and the water contained in the water tank can dissipate heat from the electrolysis module. In practice, the hydrogen generator includes a cooling circulation system connected to the water tank's containment space, allowing for the cooling and circulation of the water within the containment space. At the same time, there is no need to supply water between the electrolysis module and the water tank via piping, thus avoiding problems such as water and gas leaks caused by deterioration and detachment of piping over long-term use.

[0040] The anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 can extend outward from the electrolytic cell body 210, as shown in Figure 4A. The extended portions of the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 can be located in holes in the cover body 10 of the water tank 1, and by contacting a power source within the holes, the power necessary for electrolysis can be obtained. See Figure 4C. Figure 4C shows a schematic diagram of the cover body 10 of Figure 4A from a different viewpoint. As shown in Figure 4C, one side of the cover body 10 facing the housing space 111 is provided with a through hole 1020 into which the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 can be inserted. The cover body 10 further includes a first fixing portion 1022 facing the housing space 111, the first fixing portion 1022 including two fixing ring-shaped objects, each ring surrounding the through hole 1020, as shown in Figure 4C. In addition, the electrolytic cell body 210 in Figure 4A is equipped with a second fixing part 2108, and the second fixing part 2108 includes two ring-shaped objects, each ring surrounding the extended portion of the anode plate 202 and the cathode plate 204. Therefore, when the electrolytic cell 2 is installed in the water tank 1, the anode plate 202 and the cathode plate 204 can be positioned within the through hole 1020, and the fixing link-shaped objects of the first fixing part 1022 around the through hole 1020 are joined to the ring-shaped objects of the second fixing part 2108 around the anode plate 202 or the cathode plate 204. Due to the joining of the first fixing part 1022 and the second fixing part 2108, the electrolytic cell 2 is joined to the upper part of the cover body 10 and moves in conjunction with it; in other words, the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended within the storage space 111 of the water tank 1 by the cover body 10.

[0041] In reality, when the electrolytic cell 2 electrolyzes water to generate hydrogen-containing gas and enters the containment space 111 of the water tank 1, the hydrogen-containing gas first accumulates at the top of the containment space 111 and is then sent upward toward the filtration channel device 5. As the gas accumulates, the pressure inside the water tank 1 rises, compressing the cover body 10 from the inside and causing it to expand and deform slightly. Since the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from and interlocked with the cover body 10, regardless of the degree to which the cover body 10 expands and deforms upward, the connection between the fixing ring-shaped object of the first fixing part 1022 and the ring-shaped object of the second fixing part 2108 ensures that the electrolytic cell 2 and its anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 maintain a constant relative position with the cover body 10. Similarly, when the electrolytic cell 2 stops electrolysis or the pressure inside the water tank 1 is reduced, the cover body 10 returns to its original shape or position, and the electrolytic cell 2 interlocks with the cover 10 to maintain a constant relative position with the cover 10. Since the electrolytic cell 2 maintains its relative position in accordance with changes in the cover body 10, water and gas leaks due to irreversible displacement between the electrolytic cell 2 and the cover body 10 will not occur after long-term use. In particular, the portions of the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204 that extend from the electrolytic cell body 210 are completely sealed within the through-hole 1020 of the cover body 10, so there is no risk of water vapor entering the through-hole 1020 due to displacement and coming into contact with the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204.

[0042] In specific embodiments, the fixing ring-shaped object of the first fixing part 1022 and the ring-shaped object of the second fixing part 2108 are joined to each other by heat welding. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in practice, any fixing method that firmly joins the two and allows the portions of the anode plate and cathode plate extending from the electrolysis housing to seal the holes in the upper cover can be used as a hydrogen generator in the present invention.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4C, a first positioning mechanism 1024 is provided on one side of the cover body 10 facing the housing space 111, and a second positioning mechanism 2100 is provided at a corresponding position on the electrolytic cell body 210 of the electrolytic cell 2. The first positioning mechanism 1024 and the second positioning mechanism 2100 are coupled to each other when the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from the cover body 10, and the degrees of freedom of vertical movement of the first positioning mechanism 1024 and the second positioning mechanism 2100 can be maintained. Specifically, the first positioning mechanism 1024 is a positioning hole, and the second positioning mechanism 2100 is a positioning pin, and when the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from the cover body 10, the second positioning mechanism 2100 can be positioned on the first positioning mechanism 1024 and move vertically. The first positioning mechanism 1024 and the second positioning mechanism 2100 control the lateral displacement between the cover body 10 and the electrolytic cell 2 when deformation occurs in the cover body 10 due to the pressure accumulated in the water tank 1, thereby better controlling water leakage and gas leakage. As described above, in the specific embodiment, both first positioning mechanisms 1024 are positioning holes and both second positioning mechanisms 2100 are positioning pins. However, in practice, the two first positioning mechanisms may be positioning pins, and the two second positioning mechanisms may be positioning holes, or the first and second positioning mechanisms may each have one positioning pin and one positioning hole. The present invention is not limited to these. Furthermore, in this specific embodiment, the positions of the first positioning mechanisms 1024 and second positioning mechanisms 2100 are located on the sides of the anode plate 202 and cathode plate 204, and the through-hole 1020 of the cover body 10, and there are two of them. However, the present invention does not limit the number and position, and these are determined by the needs of the user or designer.

[0044] For other embodiments, please refer to Figures 4D and 4E. Figure 4D shows a schematic diagram of the tank body 11 of the water tank 1 of Figure 4A from a different viewpoint, and Figure 4E shows a schematic diagram of the electrolytic cell 2 of Figure 4A from a different viewpoint. As shown in Figures 4D and 4E, the tank body 11 of the water tank 1 is provided with a plurality of third positioning mechanisms 1100 at the bottom of its storage space 111, and the electrolytic cell body 210 has a plurality of fourth positioning mechanisms 2102 at its bottom, each of which corresponds to the third positioning mechanism 1100 of the tank body 11.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, when the electrolytic cell 2 is installed in the housing space 111 of the water tank 1 and suspended from the cover body 10, the third positioning mechanism 1100 of the tank body 11 of the water tank 1 is movably fitted into the fourth positioning mechanism 2102 corresponding to the electrolytic cell body 210. Specifically, the third positioning mechanism 1100 may be a positioning pin, and the fourth positioning mechanism 2102 may be a tubular positioning pin, so the third positioning mechanism 1100 can be housed in the fourth positioning mechanism 2102, and the third positioning mechanism 1100 and the fourth positioning mechanism 2102 extend vertically, and the third positioning mechanism 1100 can move up and down in the fourth positioning mechanism 2102, but not laterally. When the electrolytic cell 2 electrolyzes water to produce hydrogen-containing gas which accumulates in the water tank 1, the cover body 10 undergoes slight expansion and deformation due to pressure from the containment space 111. Furthermore, when the electrolytic cell 2 suspended from the cover body 10 is driven to move, or when the electrolytic cell 2 stops electrolysis, or when the pressure in the water tank 1 is reduced, the accumulated pressure in the water tank 1 disappears, returning the cover body 10 to its original state and simultaneously driving the suspended electrolytic cell 2 to move. The third positioning mechanism 1100 of the tank body 11 and the fourth positioning mechanism 2102 of the electrolytic cell body 210 can restrict the relative movement between the electrolytic cell 2 and the tank body 11 to vertical movement only. Because the electrolytic cell 2 is suspended from the cover body 10 and not fixed to the tank body 11 by screws or other means, the cover body 10 may be subjected to pressure that drives the electrolytic cell 2, potentially causing the electrolytic cell 2 to tilt within the containment space 111. Therefore, the third positioning mechanism 1100 and the fourth positioning mechanism 2102 allow only vertical relative movement between the tank body 11 and the electrolytic cell 2, thereby preventing problems of water leakage and gas leakage caused by the electrolytic cell 2 tilting inside the water tank 1.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, there are three third positioning mechanisms 1100 and three fourth positioning mechanisms 2102, which are installed in the positions shown in Figures 4D and 4E. In practice, the present invention does not limit the number and position of the third and fourth positioning mechanisms, which are determined by the needs of the user or designer. However, in order to effectively restrict the movement of the entire electrolysis module to only the vertical direction, there are at least two third and fourth positioning mechanisms, which can be placed in different parts of the tank body bottom and electrolysis housing, thereby effectively preventing the electrolysis module from tipping over laterally in the water tank. In addition, the first positioning mechanism 1024 of the cover body 10 and the second positioning mechanism 2100 of the electrolytic cell body 210 are fitted together, allowing for the relative positioning of the cover body 10 and the electrolytic cell 2, and similarly allowing the electrolytic cell 2 to move up and down in accordance with the deformation or restoration of the cover body 10.

[0047] In addition, as shown in Figure 4E, the bottom of the electrolytic cell body 210 is provided with a plurality of lower openings 2109, and these lower openings 2109 communicate with the electrode flow path formed by the plurality of electrodes of the electrolytic cell body 210 and the lower half of the containment space 111, as described above. The electrolytic cell 2 is installed in the containment space 111 of the water tank 1 and can be immersed in water, so it can directly take in water from the water tank 1 through the lower openings 2109 and generate hydrogen-containing gas by electrolysis. As a result, the electrolytic cell 2 of the hydrogen generator can take in water without going through a pipeline, avoiding problems of water leakage and gas leakage caused by the deterioration and detachment of pipelines due to long-term use.

[0048] In conclusion, in this specific embodiment, the electrolysis module of the hydrogen generator is installed in the water tank by a suspension method and is interconnected with the upper cover of the water tank, and is linked to the upper cover of the water tank. When the electrolysis module decomposes water to produce hydrogen-containing gas and increases the pressure in the water tank, the upper cover of the water tank is subjected to pressure and expands and deforms, driving the electrolysis module to move and maintaining its relative position with the upper cover. As a result, the electrode plates extending from the electrolysis module remain sealed within the upper cover, and even with prolonged use, there is no risk of water or gas leakage due to irreversible displacement. In addition, the positioning mechanism of the water tank body, upper cover, and electrolysis housing can be maintained so that the electrolysis module does not shift laterally or tilt within the water tank, further avoiding the risk of leakage.

[0049] In addition, the electrolytic cell fixing plate 21 of the electrolytic cell further includes a partition plate 211. The partition plate 211 is used to fix the electrolytic cell 2 to the water tank 1, and can divide the water tank 1 into two layers, with electrolyzed water mainly located in the lower layer and hydrogen-containing gas produced by electrolysis mainly located in the upper layer. To maintain flow between the upper and lower layers, the partition plate 211 is provided with a plurality of flow holes 2110 that connect the upper and lower layers. The electrolytic cell fixing plate 21 may also be an integrated flow path device. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that by designing the shape of the partition plate 211 according to the needs, space can be secured for the installation of other components.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 3, 4F, 4G, 5, and 6B. Figure 4F shows an assembly drawing of the integrated flow channel 3, filtration flow channel 5, and condenser 6 of Figure 1. Figure 4G shows an exploded view of the integrated flow channel 3, filtration flow channel 5, and condenser 6 of Figure 1. Figure 5 shows a plan view of the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure based on Figure 1. Figure 6B is a schematic cross-sectional view along line segment BB in Figure 5. As shown in Figures 3, 4F, and 4G, in this specific embodiment, the humidifier 4 is stacked vertically above the water tank 1, the integrated flow channel 3 is stacked vertically above the humidifier 4, the condenser 6 is fixed above the integrated flow channel 3, and the filtration flow channel 5 penetrates the humidifier 4 and the integrated flow channel 3 and is directly connected to the condenser 6. The air supply channel 41 of the humidifier 4 is a through-hole that extends vertically upward from the bottom to the top of the humidifier 4. Furthermore, the integrated flow channel device 3 also includes an opening 303 corresponding to the air supply channel 41 of the humidifier 4, and the bottom of the filtration flow channel device 5 simultaneously passes through the opening 303 of the integrated flow channel device 3 and the air supply channel 41 of the humidifier 4, connecting to the water tank 1. Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas generated in the water tank 1 can flow directly and sequentially through the filtration flow channel device 5 and the condenser 6 without needing to flow inside the integrated flow channel device 3 and the humidifier 4. In addition, the length of the filtration flow channel device 5 may be longer than the combined length of the opening 303 and the air supply channel 41. After combining the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure, the top of the filtration flow channel device 5 can protrude from the integrated flow channel device 3. Therefore, the user can grasp the top and directly remove and replace the filtration flow channel device 5, or clean the filtration flow channel device 5, without needing to remove other components or devices, further improving convenience and installation efficiency.

[0051] As shown in Figure 4G, in this specific embodiment, the integrated flow channel device 3 includes a fixing mechanism 304, and the condenser 6 includes a fitting structure 605 that corresponds to and fits with the fixing mechanism 304. The fitting mechanism 605 of the condenser 6 is interconnected with the fixing mechanism 304 by a locking method, and the condenser 6 is further fixed to the top of the integrated flow channel device 3. Since the condenser 6 is located at the very top of the entire hydrogen generator, the filtration flow channel device 5 is a removable component. Therefore, the user can remove the filtration flow channel device 5 and then directly remove and clean the condenser 6 without having to remove other parts or devices, further improving convenience and installation efficiency.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1, 3, 7A, and 7B. Figure 7A shows an exploded view of the filtration channel device 5 of Figure 3. Figure 7B shows a cross-sectional view of the filtration channel device 5 of Figure 3. As shown in Figures 3, 7A, and 7B, in this specific embodiment, the filtration channel device 5 includes a channel housing 51 with a cavity, and the dimensions of the channel housing 51 can correspond to the dimensions of the air supply channel 41 of the humidifier 4 and the opening 303 of the integrated channel device 3. The channel housing 51 has a first end 511 and a second end 512, and an upper cover 501 is installed on the first end 511. The first end 511 protrudes from the integrated channel device 3 and is directly connected to the condenser 6, and the second end 512 is connected to the cover body 10 of the water tank 1. The second end 512 of the channel housing 51 includes a mounting mechanism 513, and the cover body 10 of the water tank 1 includes an assembly mechanism 101 that fits into the mounting mechanism 513. When assembling the hydrogen generator E, which has a removable filtration structure, the mounting mechanism 513 of the flow path housing 51 fits tightly into the assembly mechanism 101 of the water tank 1. As a result, the hydrogen-containing gas generated in the electrolytic cell 2 flows directly from the water tank 1 to the filtration flow path device 5 and does not leak outside the water tank 1.

[0053] Furthermore, the filtration channel device 5 has an opening 5011, and the mounting mechanism 513 and the assembly mechanism 101 of the water tank 1 also each have openings. In other words, the opening 5011 of the filtration channel device 5, the cavity of the channel housing 51, the opening of the mounting mechanism 513, the opening of the assembly mechanism 101, and the containment space 111 of the water tank 1 are all in communication with each other. For this reason, the electrolytic cell 2 of the hydrogen generator E, which has a removable filtration structure, electrolyzes the electrolyzed water to produce hydrogen-containing gas, and then the hydrogen-containing gas flows from the containment space 111 of the water tank 1 through the openings of the assembly mechanism 101 and the mounting mechanism 513 to the filtration channel device 5. Subsequently, after the filtration channel device 5 filters the hydrogen-containing gas, the hydrogen-containing gas flows again from the opening 5011 to the condenser 6.

[0054] In this specific embodiment, the filtration channel device 5 further includes a filtration member 52 installed in the cavity of the channel housing 51 and is used to filter alkaline substances, impurities, and electrolytes from the hydrogen-containing gas produced in the electrolytic cell 2. In practice, the filtration member 52 may be, but is not limited to, filter cotton. As shown in Figure 7B, the filtration channel device 5 further includes two mesh metal members 53 installed and fixed at the first end 511 and the second end 512 of the channel housing 51, respectively, and the filtration member 52 is located between the two mesh metal members 53. In practice, when the hydrogen-containing gas produced in the electrolytic cell 2 flows from the water tank 1 to the filtration channel device 5, the filtration member 52 located in the channel housing 51 may move with the flow of the hydrogen-containing gas. For this reason, the mesh metal members 53 can limit the range of movement of the filtration member 52. In addition, since the mesh metal members 53 have a structure with gaps, the hydrogen-containing gas can pass through without blocking the mesh metal members 53. Furthermore, the mesh metal member 53 also has a filtration function, filtering out alkaline substances, impurities, and electrolytes from the hydrogen-containing gas. In another specific embodiment, the filtration channel device may include only the mesh metal member and not include filter cotton.

[0055] The hydrogen generator E equipped with a removable filtration structure of the present invention further includes a conductive member (e.g., a metal rod). The conductive member can extend downward from the bottom of the filtration channel device 5 to the electrolyzed water in the water tank 1. In one embodiment, one end of the conductive member is installed at the bottom of the filtration channel device 5, and the other end of the conductive wire extends into the water tank 1.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 3, 5, 8A, and 8B. Figure 8A shows an exploded view of the condenser 6 of Figure 3. Figure 8B shows a cross-sectional view of the condensing tube 61 of the condenser 6 of Figure 3. As shown in Figure 8A, in this specific embodiment, the condenser 6 includes a support 60 and a condensing tube 61. The support 60 includes an upper support 60A and a lower support 60B assembled to fit together, and the lower support 60B includes a first flow path 601 and a second flow path 602, with the first flow path 601 and the second flow path 602 being isolated from each other. Furthermore, the lower support 60B is provided with a condensation inlet 603 and a condensation outlet 604. The condensation inlet 603 is connected to the first flow path 601 and directly to the opening 5011 of the filtration flow path device 5 (as shown in Figures 4G and 7A), and the condensation outlet 604 is connected to the second flow path 602 and the intake flow path 301 of the integrated flow path device 3 (as shown in Figure 6B). In practice, the upper support 60A may also include two flow paths that correspond to and fit together with the first flow path 601 and the second flow path 602, and the support 60 of the condenser 6 forms two independent and separated flow paths. The configuration of the upper support is not limited thereto, and the upper support may be a flat plate without flow paths, and the hydrogen-containing gas flows only through the first flow path 601 and the second flow path 602 located in the lower support.

[0057] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, in this specific embodiment, the shape of the condenser 6 is approximately L-shaped. When assembling the condenser 6, the support 60 of the condenser 6 is attached to the top surface of the integrated flow channel device 3, and the condensing tube 61 of the condenser 6 is suspended at a lateral position of the integrated flow channel device 3. Furthermore, the length of the support 60 of the condenser 6 occupies more than two-thirds of the side length of the hydrogen generator E. Therefore, after the fitting mechanism 605 of the condenser 6 is locked to the fixing mechanism 304 of the integrated flow channel device 3 (as shown in Figure 4G), the condenser 6 is fixed even more firmly to the integrated flow channel device 3 and can support the condensing tube 61. In practice, the length of the support 60 of the condenser 6 is not limited to this, and the length of the support 60 may occupy more than half of the side length of the hydrogen generator E.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the condenser 6's condensing tube 61 includes a first condensing tube 61A and a second condensing tube 61B, and the lower support 60B includes a first connection hole 6011A and a second connection hole 6011B, both equipped with threads. One end of the first condensing tube 61A is connected to the first connection hole 6011A and communicates with a first flow path 601, and one end of the second condensing tube 61B is connected to the second connection hole 6011B and communicates with a second flow path 602. The other ends of the first condensing tube 61A and the second condensing tube 61B that are not connected to the support 60 are connected to each other by connecting tubes, so that the condensing tube 61 forms a single channel. The ends of the first condensing tube 61A and the second condensing tube 61B may also include female threads that are fitted into the first connection hole 6011A and the second connection hole 6011B, respectively. After the condenser 6 is assembled, the condensation inlet 603, first channel 601, first condenser tube 61A, second condenser tube 61B, second channel 602, and condenser outlet 604 form a single-path condenser channel. In this specific embodiment, the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B are arranged horizontally and in parallel to reduce the volume and height of the hydrogen generator E, which has a removable filtration structure. In practice, the arrangement of the first and second condenser tubes can also be determined according to the design or needs. Furthermore, the condenser may include two or more condenser tubes, and multiple condenser tubes can form a single channel by multiple connecting tubes.

[0059] In addition, the condenser 6 further includes a heat dissipation member 63 that is installed in contact with the outside of the first condensing tube 61A and the second condensing tube 61B. In this specific embodiment, the heat dissipation member 63 is an aluminum extruded product, and the aluminum extruded product has holes corresponding to the dimensions of the condensing tubes, allowing the condensing tubes to pass through and dissipate heat from them. In practice, since aluminum has a good thermal conductivity coefficient, when hydrogen-containing gas flows through the condensing tube 61, the aluminum extruded product collects thermal energy from the hydrogen-containing gas by heat conduction and exchanges heat with the surrounding air, thereby causing the water vapor in the hydrogen-containing gas to form condensed water and further improving the condensation efficiency.

[0060] As shown in Figure 8B, the condenser 6 further includes a plurality of helical structures 611 installed in the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B of the condenser tube 61 (Figure 8B shows only one of the condenser tubes 61). In practice, the helical structures 611 may be I-shaped helical supports installed in the condenser tube 61 to extend the length of the path within the first condenser tube 61A and the second condenser tube 61B, that is, to increase the length of the condensation flow path. As a result, when hydrogen-containing gas passes through the condenser tube 61 of the condenser 6, the hydrogen-containing gas passes through the condenser tube 61 along the helical structures 611, extending the time it stays in the condenser tube 61 and further improving the condensation efficiency.

[0061] Refer to Figures 4B-1, 4B-2, 4G, and 6B. Figure 4B-1 shows a schematic diagram of the humidifier 4 of Figure 1 from a different viewpoint. Figure 4B-2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the atomizing device 42. In this specific embodiment, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure includes a valve 32 installed in an integrated flow channel device 3 and is in communication with the condenser 6 and the humidifier 4, and the integrated flow channel device 3 includes an intake flow channel 301. The valve 32 includes a first valve interface 321 and a second valve interface 322. The first valve 321 is in communication with the condensation outlet 604 of the condenser 6, and the second valve interface 322 is in communication with the intake flow channel 301 of the integrated flow channel device 3. Furthermore, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure further includes an atomizing device 42 installed in the humidification chamber 40 of the humidifier 4. The atomizing device 42 includes a connecting pipe 420 connected to the intake passage 301 of the integrated flow channel device 3, and sends the hydrogen-containing gas discharged from the condenser 6 into the replenishment water of the humidification chamber 40. In practice, part of the atomizing device 42 can also be installed in the replenishment water. As shown in Figure 6B, the atomizing device 42 is installed at the bottom of the humidifier 4, but is not limited to this. Furthermore, the atomizing device 42 can include a plurality of micropores 421. When the condenser 6 discharges the condensed hydrogen-containing gas, the hydrogen-containing gas flows sequentially through the condensation outlet 604, the first valve interface 321, the second valve interface 322, the intake passage 301, and the connecting pipe 420 of the atomizing device 42, and then passes through the micropores 421 of the atomizing device 42 into the replenishment water of the humidification chamber 40, where it forms microbubbles, thereby thoroughly filtering and humidifying the hydrogen-containing gas by the replenishment water of the humidification chamber 40.

[0062] The water tank 1, humidifier 4, filtration channel device 5, condenser 6, and integrated channel device 3 of the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure according to the present invention are at the same potential, and the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure according to the present invention may further include a housing (not shown in the figure) that accommodates the above components, and the water tank 1, humidifier 4, filtration channel device 5, condenser 6, and integrated channel device 3, etc., can be electrically connected to the housing.

[0063] Refer to Figures 3, 4C, 4D, and 6C. Figure 6C is a schematic cross-sectional view along line segment CC in Figure 5. In this specific embodiment, the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure further includes an activated carbon tube or activated filter tube 7 fluidly connected to the humidifier 4 and the integrated flow path device 3. As shown in the figure, the cover body 10 of the water tank 1 includes a cover body channel 103, and the tank body 11 includes a tank body channel 113. The cover body channel 103 and the tank body channel 113 correspond to each other, the internal spaces of the cover body channel 103 and the cover body 10 are isolated from each other, and the tank body channel 113 and the containment space 111 are isolated from each other. The bottom of the humidifier 4 is provided with a mounting interface 44 and includes an inlet communication pipe section 45 and an outlet communication pipe section 46. The mounting interface 44, the outlet communication pipe section 46, the cover body channel 103, and the tank body channel 113 are interconnected and communicate with each other. The inlet communication pipe section 45 communicates with the humidification chamber 40 and includes an air intake hole 451, but the inlet communication pipe section 45 is not directly connected to the outlet communication pipe section 46. The activated filter tube 7 includes a housing 70 and, for connection to the humidifier 4, the top of the activated filter tube 7 penetrates the tank body channel 113 and the cover body channel 103 and can be fitted into the mounting interface 44. Furthermore, the inlet communication pipe section 45 is higher than the water level of the replenishment water in the humidification chamber 40. When the activated filter tube 7 is installed in the humidifier 4, the top of the housing 70 is in close contact with the bottom of the humidifier 4, and at this time, a cavity 48 is formed between the housing 70 of the activated filter tube 7 and the humidifier 4, and the humidification chamber 40, the air intake hole 451 of the inlet communication pipe section 45, and the cavity 48 are interconnected. In addition, the activated filter tube 7 is used to filter the hydrogen-containing gas in the humidifier 4. The activated filter tube 7 includes an intake port 71 at its bottom and an exhaust port 72 at its top. The intake port 71 is connected to the cavity 48, and the exhaust port 72 is connected to the mounting interface 44 and the outlet connecting pipe section 46. When the humidifier 4 takes in the hydrogen-containing gas condensed in the condenser 6 and humidifies it, the humidified hydrogen-containing gas flows from the intake hole 451 of the inlet connecting pipe section 45 into the cavity 48, and also passes through the intake port 71 to the activated filter tube 7, filtering out impurities from the humidified hydrogen-containing gas. Furthermore, the integrated flow path device 3 further includes an exhaust flow path 302 connected to the outlet connecting pipe section 46 of the humidifier 4.Therefore, the hydrogen-containing gas filtered by the activated filter tube 7 flows sequentially from the exhaust port 72 to the mounting interface 44, the outlet connecting pipe section 46, and the exhaust flow path 302, discharging the hydrogen-containing gas from the humidifier 4.

[0064] In addition, the hydrogen generator E, which has a removable filtration structure, further includes an atomizer connected to the exhaust channel 302 of the integrated flow channel device 3 for taking in hydrogen-containing gas, and can selectively generate atomized gas and mix it with the hydrogen-containing gas to form a healthcare gas. The atomizer 8 generates atomized gas and mixes it with the hydrogen-containing gas to further form a healthcare gas, of which the atomized gas can be selected from one or a combination of the group consisting of water vapor, atomized medicinal liquid, and volatile essential oils. In one specific embodiment, the atomizer 8 includes a vibrator, which vibrates to atomize water, atomized medicinal liquid, or volatile essential oil added to the atomizer 8, and after generating atomized gas, mix the mixed gas and the atomized gas to form a healthcare gas. The atomizer 8 can be selectively opened and closed according to the user's needs, allowing the user to inhale the healthcare gas mixed with the atomized gas, or to inhale only the mixed gas (i.e., hydrogen diluted with a second oxygen) to the user.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 3 and 6A to 6D. Figure 6D shows a simplified schematic diagram of the gas flow in a hydrogen generator E equipped with a removable filtration structure, based on a specific embodiment of the present invention. The gas flow of the hydrogen-containing gas is as indicated by the arrows in the figure. When the hydrogen generator E equipped with a removable filtration structure of the present invention is in operation, the hydrogen-containing gas produced by the electrolysis of the electrolyzed water in the electrolytic cell 2 of the water tank 1 first flows from the containment space 111 of the water tank 1 to the filtration flow path device 5 and the opening 5011 of the filtration flow path device 5, and then flows again into the condenser 6 from the condensation inlet 603. In addition, the condenser 6 also has a filtration function, as it condenses water vapor in the hydrogen-containing gas in the condensing tube 61 and at the same time removes electrolytes remaining in the hydrogen-containing gas with the condensed water produced by the condensation of the hydrogen-containing gas. Next, the hydrogen-containing gas passes sequentially through the condensation outlet 604 of the condenser 6, the intake passage 301 of the integrated flow channel device 3, and the micropores of the atomizer 42 of the humidifier 4, before entering the humidification chamber 40 of the humidifier 4, where it is humidified. Then, the hydrogen-containing gas passes sequentially from the humidification chamber 40 through the discharge passage 302 of the integrated flow channel device 3 and the activated filter tube 7, before re-entering the atomizer 8. Finally, the atomizer 8 can be selectively opened and closed according to the user's needs, allowing the user to inhale either the hydrogen-containing gas or a healthcare gas mixture of hydrogen-containing gas and atomized gas.

[0066] After the hydrogen generator produces hydrogen-containing gas, the amount of water in the device gradually decreases, so it is necessary to periodically replenish the water in the water tank after the hydrogen generator has been operating for a certain period of time. Refer to Figures 4B, 6B, and 6E. Figure 6E shows a simplified schematic diagram of the water supply flow of a hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure, based on a specific embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 4B and 6B, the humidifier 4 further includes a backwash pipe 47, the valve 32 includes a third valve interface 323, and the backwash pipe 47 is connected to the third valve interface 323. The hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure further includes a water supply pump 308, which is installed outside the water tank 1 and connected to the backwash pipe 47. The water supply flow is as shown by the arrows in Figure 6E. When supplying water to the hydrogen generator E with a removable filtration structure in the present invention, replenishment water is supplied to the humidification chamber of the humidifier 4 from a water inlet 307 that communicates with the humidifier 4. Next, a water supply pump 308 installed outside the water tank 1 can directly supply replenishment water from the humidification chamber to the condenser 6. Finally, the replenishment water flows from the condenser 6 to the filtration channel device 5 and then returns to the water tank 1. When the replenishment water backwashes from the condenser 6 to the water tank 1, it also backwashes any alkaline substances and electrolytes remaining in the condenser 6 and the filtration channel device 5 into the water tank 1. The first valve interface 321 of the valve 32 can selectively communicate with the second valve interface 322 or the third valve interface 323 depending on the operating state. When the hydrogen generator is operating normally, the first valve interface 321 of valve 32 is connected to the second valve interface 322, and the hydrogen-containing gas condensed in the condenser 6 is flowed to the atomizer 42 for humidification. When water is supplied to the hydrogen generator, the first valve interface 321 of valve 32 is connected to the third valve interface 323, and the replenishment water is passed through the backwash pipe 47 to the condenser 6 and backwashed into the water tank 1.

[0067] The filtration channel device of the hydrogen generator equipped with a removable filtration structure in the present invention may be in any form other than that of the specific embodiment described above. Please refer to Figures 7C to 7G. Figures 7C to 7G show cross-sectional views of filtration channel devices based on several specific embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 7C, the difference between the filtration channel device 5A in this specific embodiment and the previous specific embodiment is that the filtration member 52A of the filtration channel device 5A is a plurality of baffle structures, and each baffle structure includes an arc portion 521 and a lower hook portion 522 connected to the arc portion 521. The arc portion 521 extends upward, and the lower hook portion 522 extends downward from the upper end of the arc portion 521. The baffle structures are alternately installed in the channel housing 51A to form a filtration channel 54. In practice, the arc portion 521 extends upward along the inner wall of the filtration channel device 5A, and the lower hook portion 522 extends downward to the right from the upper end of the arc portion 521, and then extends downward to the left again. The baffle structure can alternately protrude from the opposing inner walls of the flow path housing 51A toward the cavity of the flow path housing 51A, and the baffle structure can also be integrally molded with the flow path housing 51A. The filtration flow path 54 may be an S-shaped flow path. When the hydrogen-containing gas generated in the water tank 1 flows through the filtration flow path 54 of the filtration flow path device 5A, the lower hook portion 522 of the baffle structure prevents the passage of alkaline substances, impurities, and electrolytes in the hydrogen-containing gas, thereby causing the alkaline substances, impurities, and electrolytes to adhere to and remain on the baffle structure of the filtration flow path device 5A, further achieving a filtration effect. Similarly, when water is supplied to a hydrogen generator equipped with a removable filtration structure, the replenishment water flows through the filtration flow path 54 of the filtration flow path device 5A. At this time, the replenishment water also backwashes the alkaline substances, impurities, and electrolytes remaining on the baffle structure into the water tank. The baffle structure is not limited to the embodiment shown in Figure 7C, and the baffle structure may be in the embodiment shown in the filtration flow path devices 5B, 5C, 5D, and 5E in Figures 7D to 7G. In practice, the lower hook portion of the baffle structure can also extend only in the direction of the lower right or lower left.

[0068] The condenser of the hydrogen generator equipped with a removable filtration structure in the present invention may be in any form other than that of the specific embodiment described above. Please refer to Figure 9. Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of the condensing tube 61' of a condenser based on one specific embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 9, in this specific embodiment, the inner wall of the condenser 61' is provided with a delay structure 611'. In practice, the inner surface of the condensing tube 61' can be provided with a plurality of protrusions to form the delay structure 611', thereby increasing the length of the condensing flow path. The protrusions can also form a female thread structure on the inner surface of the condensing tube 61'. In another specific embodiment, the delay structure is not limited to protrusions on the surface, but can also include other structures that can delay the flow velocity of the liquid, such as a mesh structure. In addition, in one specific embodiment, the heat dissipation member of the condenser is a plurality of heat dissipation fins. The heat dissipation fins are provided with a plurality of holes, through which the condensing tube can be inserted. In practice, the heat dissipation fins may be a two-piece combination structure or a three-dimensional corrugated structure, increasing the heat dissipation surface area per unit volume. The heat dissipation fins may not have holes and may dissipate heat by surrounding the condenser tube. Furthermore, multiple heat dissipation fins can be installed at regular intervals.

[0069] In conclusion, the hydrogen generator with the removable filtration structure of the present invention comprises a filtration channel device and a condenser that can be individually removed. When it is necessary to clean the filtration channel device and the condenser, or when it is necessary to replace the filtration member of the filtration channel device, the user can remove the filtration channel device and the condenser directly without having to remove other components or devices, further improving convenience and installation efficiency. Furthermore, the condenser of the hydrogen generator with the removable filtration structure of the present invention effectively improves the condensation path and heat dissipation function with a single, extendable channel and heat dissipation member, further improving condensation and filtration efficiency.
