Solution Overview
Problem
Existing apparatuses for producing oxygen and hydrogen water are cumbersome, require constant water supply, and have issues with oxygen purity and safety, while also being noisy and complex, with no efficient method for selectively removing harmful reactive oxygen species and reactive carbon species.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus that uses a fluid pump to circulate water through an electrolytic cell, generating oxygen or hydrogen which is then dissolved back into a plastic water bottle, allowing for selective production of oxygen or hydrogen water using a single device with an electrode switch and ozone removal filter, eliminating the need for additional water supply and simplifying the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional oxygen producing methods (PSA, membrane) are used, then oxygen can be generated, but moisture generated during air supply deteriorates zeolite and oxygen purity
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the problematic air supply system (fluid pump, compressor, nozzle) that generates moisture and deteriorates zeolite. Instead of using air as the source, the system directly electrolyzes water to generate oxygen, removing the source of moisture contamination and zeolite deterioration.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical air supply system (fluid pump, compressor) with an electrolytic cell that directly generates oxygen through water electrolysis. This substitution eliminates the mechanical components that generate moisture and the complex process of air compression and supply.
2Reliability
If fluid pump is used for air supply, then oxygen generation is enabled, but noise and vibration cause stress and disturb sleep
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the fluid pump (mechanical system generating noise and vibration) with an electrolytic cell that generates oxygen through electrochemical reactions. This substitution eliminates the noise and vibration harmful factors while maintaining oxygen generation capability.
3Quantity of substance
If bulky water tank is used, then water supply is provided, but user must frequently exchange large water bottle and check remaining amount
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the water bottle itself as the water source, eliminating the need for a separate bulky water tank. The electrolytic cell directly processes water from the bottle, and the bottle serves its own function as both container and water supply source, requiring no frequent exchange or monitoring.
4Reliability
If conventional apparatus is used, then oxygen water is produced, but additional water supply and bulky tank are required
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the water storage function (bottle) with the water supply function (source water). The electrolytic cell is directly connected to the bottle, eliminating the need for separate water tank and supply system. The bottle serves dual purposes: storage and supply source.
Solution Approach 2:
The water bottle serves multiple functions: it is the container for water, the source water for electrolysis, and the final container for oxygen water. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate water tank and supply system, simplifying the overall device.
5Reliability
If alkaline electrolyte solution is used in electrolysis, then oxygen generation is achieved, but safety problems and handling attention are required
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses pure water instead of alkaline electrolyte solution as the electrolyte medium. Pure water is safer, requires no special handling, and eliminates safety hazards associated with alkaline substances. The system achieves oxygen generation through water electrolysis without requiring harmful electrolytes.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing oxygen water or hydrogen water. The apparatus for manufacturing oxygen water or hydrogen water is configured such that oxygen or hydrogen generated from a device for generating oxygen and hydrogen by electrolyzing water is supplied to water using a fluid pump for manufacture of oxygen water or hydrogen water. The apparatus is configured to easily, quickly, and effectively manufacture oxygen water or hydrogen water in a plastic water bottle by dissolving high purity oxygen or hydrogen in source water in the bottle directly. Accordingly, by drinking oxygen water or hydrogen water manufactured thereby, fresh oxygen is supplied to the body, and hydrogen is also supplied to the body and removes harmful reactive oxygen species or reactive carbon species, thereby enabling a healthy life.
