  However, in the above-described conventional apparatus, hydrogen gas itself cannot be sucked or hydrogen gas cannot be included in a beverage.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a hydrogen water supply device that can supply not only hydrogen water but also hydrogen gas itself, and can contain hydrogen gas in a beverage. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above problems, a portable hydrogen water supply apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention is a portable hydrogen water supply apparatus that can be carried, has an internal space for storing hydrogen water, and has an opening at the top. And a gas injection means communicating with the internal space and injecting gas into the internal space.

  According to the portable hydrogen water supply apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention, the gas injection means communicates with the internal space that stores the hydrogen water and can inject the gas therein, so that it does not dissolve in the hydrogen water. Hydrogen existing above the hydrogen water can be discharged from the internal space by the gas injected into the internal space. For this reason, hydrogen gas itself can be suck | inhaled or hydrogen gas can be included in solutions, such as tea, a sports drink, and a cosmetic liquid.

  In the portable hydrogen water supply apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, the container may include an anode, a cathode, and a separator provided therebetween. Thus, when a container is equipped with an anode and a cathode, water can be electrolyzed and hydrogenous water can be produced | generated. Moreover, by having a separator between the anode and the cathode, a short circuit between the anode and the cathode can be suppressed.

  The portable hydrogen water supply apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention may have a gas flow path provided on the outer periphery of the container. As described above, since the portable hydrogen water supply device includes the gas flow path on the outer periphery of the container, the hydrogen gas can be efficiently discharged from the container and the aesthetics of the hydrogen water supply device can be improved. .

  In the portable hydrogen water supply apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, the gas injection unit may be a piezoelectric element or a blower, or may be an apparatus that generates gas by a chemical reaction. Since the gas injection means is a piezoelectric element, the gas can be efficiently supplied into the container, and the portable hydrogen water supply device can be miniaturized. Moreover, gas can be efficiently supplied in a container because a gas injection means is a blower. Furthermore, since the gas injection means is a device that generates gas by a chemical reaction, the gas can be supplied into the container while suppressing power consumption.

Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by the meaning of these terms.

<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable hydrogen water supply apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view thereof, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a portable hydrogen water supply device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a portable hydrogen water supply device that can be carried and has an interior for containing hydrogen water. It is characterized by comprising a container 3 having a space 2 and having an opening 8 at the top, and gas injection means 4 communicating with the internal space 2 and injecting gas into the internal space 2. The container 3 may include an anode 5, a cathode 6, and a separator 7 provided between them. Hereinafter, each component of the portable hydrogen water supply device will be described in detail.

(container)
The container 3 may have any shape as long as it has an internal space 2 for storing hydrogen water, but may be formed in a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. By making the shape of the container 3 cylindrical, the pressure resistance of the container 3 can be improved. Further, the cylindrical shape is easy to manufacture, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  As a minimum of the diameter of container 3, 20 mm is preferred, 25 mm is more preferred, and 30 mm is still more preferred. On the other hand, the upper limit of the diameter is preferably 50 mm, more preferably 45 mm, and even more preferably 40 mm. If the diameter is smaller than the lower limit, the amount of hydrogen water that can be contained decreases, and there is a risk that water supply will be required frequently. On the other hand, if the diameter is larger than the upper limit, carrying may be inconvenient.

  As a minimum of average thickness of container 3, 2 mm is preferred, 4 mm is more preferred, and 6 mm is still more preferred. On the other hand, the upper limit of the average thickness is preferably 12 mm, more preferably 10 mm, and even more preferably 8 mm. If the average thickness is smaller than the lower limit, the pressure resistance of the container 3 may be reduced. On the other hand, if the average thickness is larger than the upper limit, the size of the container 3 and the outer case inevitably increases, which may make it difficult to carry the hydrogen water supply apparatus 1.

  The material constituting the container 3 may be any material as long as hydrogen water can be stably held, and examples thereof include plastic, glass, ceramics, and metal. Of these, plastic is particularly preferable. By using plastic as a material constituting the container 3, the container 3 can be easily manufactured, and since the plastic is transparent, the state and amount of hydrogen water inside the container 3 can be visually confirmed.

  The plastic constituting the container 3 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, acrylic resin, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyolefin, cellulose acetate, and weather resistant vinyl chloride. Among these, polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate is particularly preferable. Polyethylene terephthalate is excellent in transparency and can provide high strength. Polycarbonate has high transparency and can suppress light attenuation.

  The total light transmittance of the plastic constituting the container 3 is not limited as long as the state of hydrogen water inside the container 3 can be confirmed. As a minimum of the above-mentioned total light transmittance, 80% is preferred, 85% is more preferred, and 90% is still more preferred. On the other hand, the upper limit of the total light transmittance can be 100%. If the total light transmittance is smaller than the lower limit, it may be difficult to visually recognize the hydrogen water inside the container 3.

(Case)
As shown in FIG. 1, the hydrogen water supply device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a case that covers the outer periphery of a container 3 away from the outer surface of the container 3. A gas flow path 9 through which gas passes is formed between the container 3 and the case. The gas injection means 4 is connected to one end side of the gas flow path 9, and the other end side is connected to the inside of the container 3. The gas is supplied into the container 3 through the gas flow path 9 by sending the gas to the gas flow path 9 by the gas injection means 4.

  The shape of the case may be any shape as long as the gas flow path 9 can be sufficiently secured, but a bottomed cylindrical shape is preferable as shown in FIGS. By making the case into a cylindrical shape, the pressure resistance of the case can be improved. Further, the cylindrical shape is easy to manufacture, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  The diameter of the case is not limited as long as it is larger than the diameter of the container 3 and the gas flow path 9 can be sufficiently secured. The lower limit of the case diameter is preferably 30 mm, more preferably 35 mm, and even more preferably 40 mm. On the other hand, the upper limit of the diameter is preferably 60 mm, more preferably 55 mm, and even more preferably 50 mm. If the diameter is smaller than the lower limit, the volume of the container 3 is inevitably reduced, and there is a possibility that water as a raw material of hydrogen water must be replenished frequently. On the other hand, if the diameter is larger than the upper limit, carrying may be inconvenient.

  The average thickness of the case is not particularly limited, but the lower limit of the average thickness of the case is preferably 2 mm, more preferably 4 mm, and even more preferably 6 mm. On the other hand, the upper limit of the average thickness is preferably 12 mm, more preferably 10 mm, and even more preferably 8 mm. If the average thickness is smaller than the lower limit, the pressure resistance of the case may be reduced. On the other hand, if the average thickness is larger than the upper limit, the size of the case inevitably increases, and there is a possibility that it is difficult to carry the hydrogen water supply apparatus 1.

  The material constituting the case is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include plastic, glass, ceramics, and metal. Of these, plastic is particularly preferable. By using plastic as a material constituting the case, the case can be easily manufactured and the inside of the hydrogen water supply apparatus 1 can be visually recognized because the plastic is transparent.

  Although it does not necessarily limit as a plastic which comprises a case, The same thing as the plastic which comprises the container 3 can be used. As a result, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

  The total light transmittance of the plastic constituting the case is not limited as long as the inside of the hydrogen water supply device 1 can be visually recognized, but can be the same as the total light transmittance of the plastic of the container 3. As a result, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

(Electrode for electrolysis)
The hydrogen water supply apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include an electrode for electrolysis inside the container 3. The electrode for electrolysis may be provided at any position in the container 3 as long as water can be electrolyzed. For example, it may be provided at the lowermost part of the container 3. By providing the electrode for electrolysis at the lowermost part of the container 3, it is always possible to contact the water as a raw material and efficiently generate hydrogen water.

  The electrode for electrolysis includes an anode 5, a cathode 6, and a separator 7 provided therebetween. The anode 5 and the cathode 6 may each be in direct contact with the separator 7. The electrode disassembling electrode may further have an anode terminal plate on the side opposite to the separator 7 with the anode 5 as the center, and further have a cathode terminal plate on the side opposite to the separator 7 with the cathode 6 as the center. It may be. The anode terminal plate is in direct contact with the anode 5, and the cathode terminal plate is in direct contact with the cathode 6. The anode 5 is connected to a battery in a device housing portion provided in the lower part of the container 3 through an anode terminal plate, and the cathode 6 is connected to the cathode 3 through a cathode terminal plate.

  The top view shapes of the anode 5 and the cathode 6 are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a rectangle, a square, a circle, and an ellipse. Among these, a square is particularly preferable. The manufacturing cost can be reduced by making the top view shape of the anode 5 and the cathode 6 square.

  The state of the anode 5 and the cathode 6 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a mesh shape, a film shape, and a plate shape, but a mesh shape is particularly preferable. By forming the anode 5 and the cathode 6 in a mesh shape, the area in contact with water increases, and hydrogen water can be generated efficiently.

  When the anode 5 and the cathode 6 are mesh-shaped, the average diameter of the mesh is not particularly limited, but the lower limit of the average diameter of the mesh is preferably 1.0 mm, more preferably 1.5 mm. 0.0 mm is more preferable. On the other hand, the upper limit of the average diameter is preferably 5.0 mm, more preferably 4.5 mm, and even more preferably 4.0 mm. If the average diameter is smaller than the lower limit, the production efficiency of hydrogen water may be reduced. On the other hand, if the average diameter is larger than the upper limit, the strength of the anode 5 and the cathode 6 may be reduced.

  As a minimum of the porosity of anode 5 and cathode 6, 50% is preferred, 55% is more preferred, and 60% is still more preferred. On the other hand, the upper limit of the porosity is preferably 80%, more preferably 75%, and even more preferably 70%. If the porosity is smaller than the lower limit, the contact area between water and the anode 5 and the cathode 6 cannot be secured, and hydrogen water may not be efficiently generated. On the other hand, if the porosity is larger than the upper limit, the strength of the anode 5 and the cathode 6 may not be maintained.

  As a minimum of average thickness of anode 5 and cathode 6, 1.0 mm is preferred, 1.5 mm is more preferred, and 2.0 mm is still more preferred. On the other hand, the upper limit of the average thickness is preferably 5.0 mm, more preferably 4.5 mm, and even more preferably 4.0 mm. If the average thickness is smaller than the lower limit, the strength of the anode 5 and the cathode 6 may not be maintained. On the other hand, when the average thickness is larger than the upper limit, the anode 5 and the cathode 6 are large, and the hydrogen water supply apparatus 1 may be increased in size.

(Gas injection means)
The gas injection means 4 is not limited as long as the gas can be circulated, and examples thereof include a piezoelectric element, a blower, and a device that generates a gas by a chemical reaction. By using a piezoelectric element as the gas injection means 4, the gas injection means 4 can be miniaturized and the gas can be efficiently provided in the container 3. Further, by using a device that generates gas by a chemical reaction as the gas injection means 4, electricity is not used for injection into the gas container 3, and power consumption can be suppressed.

  It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
