Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the portable electrolysis device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment shows a relatively small device having portability.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the electrolytic cell is composed of a tank 1, a lid 2, an electrolytic unit 3, a guide tube 4, a hydrogen storage part 5, a suction tube 6, a hydrogen discharge tube 7, a bottom case 8, a battery 9, a control circuit 10, and a switch 20.

The tank 1 is formed of a corrosion-resistant material into a cylindrical shape having an open upper portion and a closed lower portion, and has a certain capacity capable of storing raw water W such as tap water therein.

The lid 2 is formed of a corrosion-resistant material into a cylindrical shape having a closed upper portion and an open lower portion, and the side surface portion 21 is fitted or screwed to the upper portion of the can 1 so as to be detachable, thereby forming a sealed tea-caddy-type structure together with the can 1. In the top surface portion 22 of the lid 2, a cylindrical support hole 23 for supporting the hydrogen discharge pipe 7 is provided in the central portion, a straw insertion hole 24 for inserting the straw 6 is opened in the peripheral portion, and an ozone discharge port 25 for discharging gas (ozone) generated when hydrogen-rich water is generated is opened in the other peripheral portion.

The electrolysis unit 3 is constituted by a square disk shape provided at the bottom of the tank 1. As shown in detail in fig. 2, the electrolytic module 3 includes a housing 31, a polymer film 32,

electrode plates

33 and 34, and a spring 35.

The casing 31 of the electrolysis unit 3 is formed in a square window frame shape in which the volume of the reaction chamber 311 is secured, and is provided with: a rectangular window hole 312 opened substantially over the entire surface of the top portion, a claw-shaped stopper 313 protruding from 4 peripheral edges of the window hole 312 toward the center of the window hole 312, and a communication hole 314 perforated in the side portion so as to communicate the outside with the reaction chamber 311.

The polymer membrane 32 of the electrolytic unit 3 is formed of a thin film having an ion exchange function for restricting the passage of ions (for example, "perfluorosulfonic acid resin Nafion" manufactured by dupont) and has a rectangular shape having a size for closing the window 312 of the housing 31. The thickness of the polymer film 32 is about 127 to 183 μm if "Nafion" perfluorosulfonic acid resin manufactured by DuPont is selected, for example.

The

electrode plates

33 and 34 of the electrolysis unit 3 are formed by weaving a wire material, which is made of titanium as a base material and is platinum-plated, into a rhombic net shape, and laminating the wire material on the entire surfaces of both surfaces of the polymer film 32 to form both positive and negative electrodes. The

electrode plates

33 and 34 are finally connected to lead wires and electric wires, not shown, connected to the control circuit 10.

The spring 35 of the electrolysis unit 3 is formed as a coil spring which is compressed and housed inside the reaction chamber 311 of the housing 31, and elastically compresses the laminated polymer film 32 and the

electrode plates

33 and 34 toward the stopper 313 of the housing 31. The spring 35 can also serve as a lead of the electrode plate 34 on the reaction chamber 311 side of the housing 31.

The guide tube 4 has a port 41 that is open opposite the electrolytic cell 3, and is formed in a funnel shape that decreases toward the upper portion 42.

The hydrogen storage part 5 is formed to be expanded in a substantially spherical shape at the upper part of the guide cylinder 4, and a straw receiving groove 52 that avoids the inserted straw 6 is provided in a part of the spherical body part 51.

The straw 6 is formed by attaching an openable lid 62 to the upper end of a tubular body 61, and the body 61 is inserted into the straw insertion hole 24 and reaches the lower part of the can 1.

The hydrogen discharge pipe 7 is provided between the upper part of the hydrogen storage part 5 and the outside of the tank 1, and is inserted through a support hole 23 supported by the lid 2. Further, the hydrogen discharge pipe 7 and the guide tube 4 are integrated, so that the guide tube 4 and the hydrogen storage part 5 are also supported by the support hole 23 of the lid 2. Further, a tube of an inhaler attached near the nose can be connected to the port of the hydrogen discharge tube 7 on the outside of the tank 1.

Bottom case 8 is formed in a cylindrical shape extending from the bottom of can 1, and houses battery 9, control circuit 10, and switch 20.

The battery 9 becomes a driving source of the electrolysis unit 3, and is replaceable or rechargeable.

The control circuit 10 is a circuit connected between the battery 9 and the electrolysis unit 3, and controls the driving of the electrolysis unit 3.

Switch 20 is configured to be exposed from bottom case 8, and performs ON/OFF switching of battery 9 and adjustment operation of control circuit 10.

According to this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the lid 2, the guide tube 4, the hydrogen storage part 5, and the hydrogen discharge pipe 7 are integrally removed from the tank 1, and raw water W such as tap water is stored in the tank 1 and used. At this time, since the guide tube 4 is supported by the cover 2 and is insertable into and removable from the tank 1, the guide tube 4 and the hydrogen storage part 5 do not interfere with the injection of the raw water into the tank 1, and the usability is good.

In this mode, the lid 2, the guide tube 4, the hydrogen storage part 5, and the hydrogen discharge pipe 7 are integrally attached to the tank 1 containing the raw water W, and the switch 20 is directly turned on without searching for a power source. That is, the device can be transported to a location without a power supply and used.

When the switch 20 is turned on, the entire electrolytic unit 3 is immersed in the raw water W, and current is applied to the electrode plate 33 on the window 312 side of the casing 31 as a negative electrode and the electrode plate 34 on the reaction chamber 311 side as a positive electrode. As a result, the raw water W is electrically decomposed, hydrogen ions and electrons are generated in the positive electrode plate 34 in the reaction chamber 311 of the housing 31, and hydrogen (gas) is generated in the negative electrode plate 33 exposed in the window hole 312 of the housing 31 through the polymer film 32. This hydrogen forms fine bubbles H, and is therefore efficiently dissolved in the raw water W, and electrolyzed water formed of a hydrogen-rich water is generated inside the tank 1. In addition, if the raw water W is electrically decomposed, ozone (gas) is also generated in the electrode plate 34 of the positive electrode. However, ozone is accumulated in the reaction chamber 311 of the housing 31 without passing through the polymer membrane 32, and if the retention pressure in the reaction chamber 311 of the housing 31 is increased, ozone is discharged from the communication hole 314 of the housing 31. The discharged ozone is formed into large bubbles, and therefore, is not easily dissolved in the raw water W and rises, and is discharged from the ozone discharge port 25 of the cap 2.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 4, by integrally removing the lid 2, the guide tube 4, the hydrogen storage part 5, and the hydrogen discharge pipe 7 from the tank 1, the hydrogen-rich water generated inside the tank 1 can be drunk. At this time, since the guide tube 4 and the hydrogen storage part 5 are supported by the lid 2 and can be inserted into and removed from the tank 1, the guide tube 4 and the hydrogen storage part 5 do not interfere with drinking the hydrogen-rich water in the tank 1, and the usability is good.

Further, by inserting the straw 6 from the lid 2 into the interior of the tank 1, hydrogen-rich water can be drunk. If the suction pipe 6 is used, the generated hydrogen can be prevented from leaking out uselessly.

The hydrogen bubbles H that are not dissolved in the raw water W rise in the raw water W in the tank 1, but are smoothly guided to the hydrogen storage part 5 above by the funnel-shaped guide tube 4. Then, the hydrogen bubbles H guided to be collected are accumulated in the hydrogen storage part 5 which is formed by expanding in a spherical shape in the upper part of the guide tube 4 and has a large volume.

Therefore, the hydrogen can be sucked by bringing the port into contact with the hydrogen discharge pipe 7. Further, the hydrogen bubbles H are efficiently guided and collected by the funnel-shaped guide tube 4, a considerable amount of hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen storage part 5, and the amount of hydrogen discharged from the hydrogen discharge pipe 7 is reliably secured, so that the hydrogen supply device is suitable for hydrogen suction.

As described above, in addition to the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of hydrogen discharge pipes 7 may be connected to or branched from the hydrogen storage unit 5.
