FIG.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1. Generation of hydrogen gas This is the contents disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 and 2, and is a well-known technique, so the explanation here is omitted. As the hydrogen gas generating member, magnesium hydroxide or an atomized powder of an aluminum-tin alloy is used. The liquid into which the hydrogen gas generating member is charged may be ordinary water. Since the reaction rate depends on temperature, the amount of hydrogen gas generated can be controlled by temperature.

2. Generation of nanobubble hydrogen water Nanobubble hydrogen water is not only dissolved in water but also dispersed in water as nanometer-sized fine bubbles. In particular, in the present invention, hydrogen water having a dissolved hydrogen concentration as a whole of dissolved hydrogen and hydrogen dispersed as nanovalves is 2 ppm or more. Hydrogen gas nanobubbles can be obtained by introducing hydrogen gas into water and stirring the water to impart a shearing force. The example shown in FIG. 1 is an example of an apparatus configured to generate nanobubble hydrogen water by blowing out hydrogen gas from a fine gap and shearing by mechanical stirring. This apparatus, named nano-bubble hydrogen water generation chamber, is a hermetically sealed container having a vertical cylindrical shape as a whole, and the outer cylinder 33 is a container body that contains liquid and gas, and has an airtight structure with an upper lid 34 and a bottom plate 35. ing. This is not only to prevent foreign matter from entering the leakage of the contents, but also to increase the internal pressure so that the dissolved hydrogen concentration is 2 ppm or more. Inside, a stirrer housed in a cylindrical casing 20 is also placed, and the upper half is a motor that drives it. There is clean water such as pure water or ionic water inside, a hydrogen water outlet is located below the liquid level, and a hydrogen gas outlet is located near the top. Connect and refill with water as appropriate.

  An inner cylinder 28 having a substantially circular cross section is fitted inside the casing 20, and a cylindrical rotor 29 is provided on the inner cylinder 28. The upper and lower bearings 24 on the upper lid 21 and the lower bearing 25 on the bottom plate 22 are rotatable up and down. Further, an upper impeller 26 and a lower impeller 27 are disposed between the rotor 29 and the upper and lower bearings 24 and 25. Although not particularly illustrated, a large number of fine vertical grooves are formed on the inner surface of the inner cylinder 28, and spiral grooves are formed on the surface of the rotor 29. The spiral groove is formed in a direction in which a downward thrust is applied to the surrounding water when the rotor 29 rotates in a predetermined direction. The rotor 29 is driven by a vertical DC motor 23 placed on the inner lid 21 of the casing 20. A suction port 30 is provided at the lower part of the casing 20, and a discharge port 32 is provided at the top of the casing 2. Furthermore, although not shown in particular, a through passage that opens to both the upper and lower ends is formed at the center of the rotor 29. This is a flow path for allowing water inside the inner cylinder 28 to flow downward as the pressure at the rotation center side of the outer periphery of the rotor 29 becomes lower. That is, an upflow is generated in the outer peripheral portion of the rotor 29 and a downflow is generated in the through passage.

  Although the returning hydrogen water and the mixed liquid of hydrogen gas taken in by the venturi are sucked into the suction port 30, the hydrogen gas is not yet fine bubbles at this stage.

  When a brushless motor is used as the DC motor and rotated at about 5000 revolutions per minute, the liquid mixture in the container is pushed upward on the outer peripheral side of the rotor 29 by the joint action of the upper and lower impellers 26 and 27, and the inner cylinder 28 and the rotor Ascend through the gap with 29. The gap between the two grooves (projections) is set to about 500 μm and passes through a very narrow flow path, so that it undergoes shearing simultaneously with stirring. Further, since the spiral groove of the rotor 29 is directed against the upward flow, turbulent flow is generated. Further, since a through passage is provided in the vicinity of the central axis of the rotor 29, a part of the liquid is sucked back in front of the upper and lower impellers 26 and 27, and is circulated while receiving stirring and shearing in this process.

  Further, permanent magnets (not shown) are attached to both the inner periphery of the inner cylinder 28 and the outer periphery of the rotor 29. Therefore, the liquid mixture passing therethrough is affected by the magnetic field generated by these permanent magnets, and not only the bubbles are made finer, but also polarities can be given to the bubbles, the ionization of the liquid is promoted, and the bubbles are stabilized. According to the observation of the present inventor, these bubbles are finer than those obtained by the sintered filter, so-called nanobubbles are dispersed and retained in water, and the substantial dissolved amount of hydrogen is increased. It was recognized that That is, nanobubble hydrogen water is obtained.

3. Nano Bubble Hydrogen Water Generation System A system configured around the nano bubble hydrogen water generation chamber will be described. FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram of the system, in which a broken line indicates the hydrogen gas extraction line 4 and a solid line indicates the nanobubble hydrogen water extraction line 5. From the hydrogen gas generator 1, a supply line 4 a extends toward various adapters that use the hydrogen gas as it is, and a supply line 4 b extends toward the nanobubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2. Hydrogen gas is mainly generated in the hydrogen gas generator 1, and therefore the internal pressure of the pipeline system including the nanobubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2 is increased. Such a rise in pressure increases the dissolved concentration of hydrogen gas. Further, surplus hydrogen gas accumulated at the top of the nanobubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2 returns to the hydrogen gas generator 1 through the return pipe 4c, and hydrogen gas other than that consumed is circulated. The return pipe 4c is provided with a relief valve 41. When the pressure exceeds a predetermined value, for example, 100 Kpa, the internal gas is released to the outside for safety. If the relief circuit is lowered to a lower position, it is mainly air that is released and no hydrogen is consumed. In addition to the outlets 8a and 8b, the supply line 4a is connected to a face-washing bowl 6 which will be described later in this figure, and can be appropriately switched by a throttle valve 42, a switching valve 43 and the like to take out hydrogen gas.

  The supply line 5a is connected to the upper discharge port of the nano bubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2, and the return line 5b is connected to the suction port 30 at the bottom, and the nano bubble hydrogen water is supplied from the supply line 5a to the face washing bowl 6. In addition, surplus hydrogen water returns to the nanobubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2 through the return pipe 5b and circulates. Further, since the venturi 54 is provided near the suction port of the return pipe 5b and connected to the pipe from the hydrogen gas generator 1, the hydrogen gas is sucked into the returned hydrogen water. Further, in the middle of the return pipe 5b, a filter 51 for removing mixed foreign substances, a radiator 52 for radiating heat, a sterilizing means 53 such as ultraviolet rays, and the like are provided to purify the circulating hydrogen water. When hydrogen water is reduced by the disposable adapter, the nanobubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2 is appropriately replenished with a solution. In order to further increase the dissolved concentration of hydrogen gas, the internal pressure of the pipeline system including the nanobubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2 may be increased. Specifically, the valve of the pipe line for the location where nanobubble hydrogen water or hydrogen gas is used is closed. In that case, since the pressure of the pipeline system is released when the relief valve 41 is opened, the pressure can be increased to the performance of the pump and the pressure limit of the pipeline and the container depending on the setting. The dissolved water concentration of water can be increased.

4). Face Washing Bowl A face washing bowl will be described as an example of an adapter that actually applies the hydrogen water gas and nano bubble hydrogen water generated in the hydrogen gas generator 1 and the nano bubble hydrogen water generation chamber 2 to face washing for beauty and health. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the face-washing bowl 6 according to the embodiment, which includes a washbasin-like container 60 having an outer diameter of about 300 mm, which includes a bottom plate 61 and side plates 62. A hydrogen gas outlet 66 is provided at the center of the bottom plate 61. Soap water is put into the container 6, and hydrogen gas is blown into the liquid from the blowout port 66. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the peripheral portion of the outlet 66. There is a gas inlet 64 through which hydrogen gas enters on the lower surface, and the gas inlet 64 opens into the outlet 66. A filter 65 is fitted in the opening. This filter is a porous plate obtained by firing a powder having a particle diameter of 2 to 5 μm, such as resin, ceramic, or metal. Since hydrogen gas is ejected into the liquid from the gap between the porous plates, it becomes fine bubbles. A suction nozzle 67 of a resin hose is provided outside the blowout port 66, a nanobubble hydrogen water discharge pipe 68 is provided at an unobstructed position, and an LED light source 69 is provided on the opposite side of the suction nozzle 67. The discharge pipe 68 can both supply the nano bubble hydrogen water and discharge the surplus nano bubble hydrogen water by switching the circuit.

  When this face-washing bowl 6 is used, an appropriate amount of nanobubble hydrogen water is supplied into the container 60, and then air containing hydrogen gas is supplied from the outlet 66, and the nanobubble hydrogen water in the bowl 6 is bubbled with hydrogen gas. . Soak your face in the bubbling nano bubble hydrogen water and wash or massage. Meanwhile, the supply of hydrogen water is continued in the bowl 6 to circulate the liquid.

  At this time, the face-mounting frame 7 shown in FIG. 5 is used. The face-mounting frame 7 is, for example, a quadrilateral frame, and is provided with a frame-mounting portion 71 on one side and a chin-mounting portion 72 on the opposite side, so that the face can be left on for a long time, for example, about 10 minutes. However, since the container 60 is filled with hydrogen water, in order to breathe during this time, it is necessary to add a suction nozzle 67 and suck in air mixed with hydrogen gas. Also, the bottom plate 61 is provided with a light source 69 using LEDs, so that light and darkness can be seen even when the eyes are closed. The light source 69 also has an effect of preventing sleep.

  Note that if the filter 65 is coated with soap and a small amount of water is put into the container 60 and hydrogen gas is blown out of the filter 65, the inside of the container 60 can be filled with hydrogen bubbles. Skin can be cleaned and massaged by soaking your face and hands in the hydrogen bubbles. Alternatively, the hydrogen bubbles may be scooped and used as a health detergent.

  In order to realize weight reduction and maintenance-free, the bottom plate 61 and the side plate 62 are preferably made of a resin such as acrylic or an aluminum alloy. Also, the upper surface of the bottom plate 61 and the inner surface of the inner side plate 62 may be painted with a super water-repellent paint. The bottom plate 61 has a gentle downward slope toward the center in consideration of the liquid pool.

5. Other Adapters Various operations can be performed by connecting other various adapters to the outlets 8a and 8b in FIG.

  FIG. 6A shows a hand-held agitator. Attach a rotating brush planted with a number of resin rods or wires to the end of the grip 71 incorporating an air motor, etc., and insert it into the bowl 6 of FIG. The so-called hydrogen foam or a cleaning agent or cosmetic agent close to this can be obtained by miniaturization.

  FIG. 6B is a vacuum tool, and a suction cup 76 is attached to the tip of the grip portion 71. This is connected to a hydrogen water return line through a vacuum pump, and the remaining foam and hydrogen water after use are sucked. Further, by attaching a glass nozzle (not shown) instead of the suction cup 76, dirt on the pores can be sucked.

  FIG. 6C shows a spray tool. A spray nozzle that can swing freely is attached to the tip of the grip portion 71, and in the case of liquid, hydrogen water whose temperature is adjusted, and in the case of gas, hydrogen gas is jetted in an arbitrary direction. In order to perform pressure injection, a water pump is installed in the pipeline as appropriate.

  FIG. 6D shows a double-headed massage tool having high and low temperature built-in magnetic massage heads. Low-temperature and heating contact portions are provided on both surfaces of the tip of the grip portion 71 to warm the carotid artery and the like to promote sweating or cool down. If a Peltier element is used, the temperature can be switched quickly. In the present invention, a hydrogen water spray can be used together, and the tool can be made compact by using hydrogen water for cooling each heat radiation portion including the IC and transformer of the Peltier power source.

  In addition, the present invention becomes more convenient by using various adapters such as a spoon nozzle used for scooping out a foam from a foam generator, and can be used as a vacuum tool and a gas spray tool.

6). Hydrogen Foam Generation System A feature of the present invention is that nanobubbles are formed by stirring a substance containing hydrogen bubbles obtained by blowing hydrogen gas into a liquid to give a shearing action. The object of stirring or shearing is not limited to hydrogen water in the present invention, and the present invention further includes bubbles obtained by blowing hydrogen gas into a liquid containing a surfactant such as soap or a dissolved liquid. It can also be used in the case of forming a finer foam. An example of this will be described below.

  FIG. 7 shows a simple type foam generator 10 in which a porous filter 13 made of a sintered material or the like is fitted in a hole provided in the bottom of the bowl 11. A cup-shaped container 12 is attached under the bowl 11, and the bowl 11 is covered with a lid 14 so as to be sealed. Reference numeral 19 denotes a stand on which the bowl 11 is placed. The container 12 functions as a hydrogen generator by containing a hydrogen generating member such as magnesium hydride powder together with water. At the bottom, a discharge port 12D to which a valve 12V is connected is provided.

  A vertical motor 16 is attached to the lid 14 downward, and a stirring brush 15 is attached to the rotating shaft thereof. This stirring brush 15 is for refining hydrogen bubbles by stirring hydrogen gas bubbles and applying a shearing force. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the stirring brush 15 extends downward from the peripheral edge of the lower surface of the rotating plate. A vertical bar and a plurality of horizontal bars projecting in a radial direction from a shaft provided at the center of the lower surface of the rotating plate are provided. These motor 16 and stirring brush 15 correspond to the stirring means in the present invention.

  In order to effectively use hydrogen gas and promote the generation of hydrogen bubbles or hydrogen foam, a circulation line is provided. That is, a return pipe 17 is provided outside the bowl 11 to communicate the upper end portion with the container 12 or the bottom portion. A pump 18 such as a diaphragm pump is provided in the middle of the return pipe 17. Accordingly, the hydrogen gas and hydrogen bubbles accumulated in the upper part of the bowl 11 are returned to the bottom of the container 12 and the bowl 11 as a hydrogen gas generator by the pump 18 and blown again into the bowl 11. .

  When making hydrogen foam, first, an appropriate amount of soapy water is put into the bowl 11 or a small amount of water is put into the filter 13 after rubbing the surface of the filter 13 with soap. On the other hand, hydrogen gas is generated by the reaction between water and the hydrogen gas generating member in the container 12. The hydrogen gas passes through the filter 13 and enters the liquid in the bowl 11 to generate hydrogen gas bubbles. Since the inside of the bowl 11 is gradually filled with foam, when the motor 16 is driven and the stirring brush 15 is rotated, the vertical and horizontal bars stir and shear the hydrogen bubbles. That is, a foaming action occurs and the hydrogen bubbles are refined to form a so-called hydrogen foam.

  Since the liquid containing foam increases in volume and enters the return pipe 17, a pump 18 such as a diaphragm type is operated and returned to the container 12. In that case, in order to avoid clogging of the filter 13 by the liquid, the height of the container 12 is increased and returned to the upper side from the liquid level in the container 12. When stirring, shearing, and circulation are continued for a predetermined time, the bubbles are gradually made finer and become a creamy state like meringue and a hydrogen foam is obtained. Since the hydrogen foam obtained in this way is composed of fine bubbles, it can be taken as a lump or can be maintained for a long time without disappearing. Therefore, when the lid 14 is opened and the foam is appropriately scooped with a spoon or the like and rubbed into the skin or washed, the hydrogen is absorbed into the skin and a cosmetic effect can be obtained. Since this foam generator 10 is small and consumes little electric power, it can be easily placed in the bathroom or washroom at home, and hydrogen can be taken into the body to promote health.
