Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods fail to effectively maintain high solubility of hydrogen gas in liquids, such as beverages and skin lotions, due to leakage and permeability issues with conventional containers, which reduces the efficacy of hydrogen ingestion for health benefits.

Innovation Solution

A sealing bag with a hydrogen-permeable film is used, which can be partially or fully coated with a non-permeable film, and features a permeation pore with a closable lid, allowing controlled release of hydrogen gas into the liquid, maintaining high solubility and preventing unnecessary leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a plastic container such as a PET bottle is used to store hydrogen-filled liquid, then the container provides sealed storage, but hydrogen gas escapes within several days due to permeability and leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance of dissolved hydrogenVSAvoidhydrogen gas loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using a flexible container material that is specifically permeable to hydrogen gas in controlled amounts, rather than using a completely impermeable material. This allows the container to maintain hydrogen saturation while preventing excessive loss, addressing the contradiction between sealed storage and hydrogen retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameter of the container material from rigid (PET) to flexible, and adjusts the permeability parameter to be optimized for hydrogen gas. This parameter change enables the container to maintain hydrogen saturation levels while allowing controlled gas exchange, resolving the contradiction between sealed storage and hydrogen retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If a flexible container with hydrogen permeable film is used, then hydrogen gas can be dissolved and maintained at high solubility, but the container material must be selected to balance permeability and sealing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedissolved hydrogen concentrationVSAvoidcontainer material selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite materials by combining a flexible base material with a hydrogen permeable coating or layer. This composite structure provides both the flexibility needed for high solubility maintenance and the controlled permeability required for hydrogen gas exchange, resolving the contradiction between quantity of hydrogen and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by using a flexible container material that is specifically permeable to hydrogen gas in controlled amounts, rather than using a completely impermeable material. This allows the container to maintain hydrogen saturation while preventing excessive loss, addressing the contradiction between sealed storage and hydrogen retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present invention aims at dissolving hydrogen gas in a liquid and maintaining the solubility of the hydrogen gas in the liquid at a high state.A sealing bag 1 that dissolves hydrogen gas in a liquid by being put into the liquid includes a hydrogen permeable film that can permeate hydrogen gas that is sealed and filled in the sealing bag to outside. By sinking this sealing bag 1 into the liquid in advance, the hydrogen gas that is permeated through the hydrogen permeable film is dissolved in the liquid. Furthermore, since the hydrogen gas is continuously permeated little by little through the hydrogen permeable film, the solubility of the hydrogen in the liquid can be maintained at a high state.
