Description

  The present invention is a hydrogen water generation apparatus using a hydrogen gas cylinder, so that the structural configuration of the apparatus can be safely assembled, the hydrogen gas cylinder can be safely attached and detached, and hydrogen that can be generated at home. While safely managing hydrogen gas cylinders filled with high-pressure hydrogen gas, which is a material for water, it is possible to easily produce high-concentration hydrogen water at home, and use hydrogen gas cylinders after consumption as specialized gas filling companies The present invention relates to a hydrogen water generation apparatus using a hydrogen gas cylinder that has been filled so that the hydrogen gas cylinder can be easily delivered to a home, and a gas filling and delivery system for a hydrogen gas cylinder used in the apparatus.

  Conventionally, the demand for hydrogen water has been rapidly increasing from research data that hydrogen water contributes to health improvement. In order to meet such demand, it has become an era when hydrogen water can be easily ingested by filling the bottle with hydrogen water.

  However, since hydrogen gas cannot be completely prevented from leaking even if hydrogen water is filled in a PET bottle or an aluminum pouch, the hydrogen content is currently limited to about 1 PPM to 2.5 PPM. Therefore, in order to obtain hydrogen water containing a larger amount of hydrogen, hydrogen gas generated by electrolysis of water is dissolved in water as it is to generate hydrogen water, or a hydrogen generating member that generates hydrogen gas in advance is used as a gas. Techniques such as a method of storing in a permeable membrane storage bag and putting it in a PET bottle as it is to generate hydrogen water in the pet and drinking it as it is have appeared.

  However, these technologies have their merits and demerits, and the electrolysis technology of water is difficult to obtain a large amount of hydrogen water, and the apparatus is expensive and cannot be widely used for home use. Also, a hydrogen gas generating agent is enclosed. The technology to put the bag into the PET bottle is simple, but it takes about a day to occur and it is not responsive, and the technology to completely prevent the outflow of metal ions is inadequate. The generation technique has the disadvantage of becoming complicated.

  Therefore, the present inventor has sought a hydrogen water generation technique that generates dissolved hydrogen water using a household hydrogen cylinder and that can secure a sufficient hydrogen concentration. Therefore, if hydrogen gas is released directly from the hydrogen gas cylinder and dissolved in water as it is, using a hydrogen gas cylinder that can be delivered systematically to the home, hydrogen water having a high concentration of hydrogen can be generated depending on the gas pressure adjustment. Reached the idea that it was possible.

  As such a hydrogen water supply apparatus using a hydrogen gas cylinder, in order to enable supply of hydrogen water having a predetermined concentration or more, a hydrogen gas cylinder as a hydrogen gas supply means and a hydrogen gas supplied from the hydrogen gas cylinder The hydrogen pressure supplied to the hydrogen gas dissolving means comprises: a gas pressure adjusting means for controlling the gas pressure of the gas; and a hydrogen gas dissolving means for generating hydrogen water by dissolving hydrogen gas supplied from a hydrogen gas cylinder in tap water. There has been disclosed a hydrogen water supply apparatus provided with a control means for controlling the gas pressure adjusting means so that the gas pressure of the gas falls within a range defined by the detected water temperature (see Patent Document 1).

JP2016-079787

  However, the idea of using such a hydrogen gas cylinder is simple if hydrogen water generation is carried out on a large scale in a factory, but hydrogen gas has unique properties that are lightweight and dangerous, and in particular, it has a sufficient risk of explosion. Consideration of usage must be established. On the other hand, for hydrogen water generators that use compact hydrogen gas cylinders at home, the handling of hydrogen gas cylinders and new hydrogen gas filling operations can be hard-established, but the hydrogen cylinders are handled by hand at home. Replacing the old cylinder while having specialists supply it continuously, that is, it is complicated to establish a soft gas supply system that can be refilled with hydrogen every time gas is consumed. This was one of the reasons why hydrogen water generators were not widely used.

  In particular, due to the characteristics of hydrogen gas, there are legal regulations and technical specialities that hydrogen gas cylinders can only be filled with hydrogen gas by a specialist. In view of this, it has been difficult to supply hydrogen gas continuously and safely to a simple hydrogen cylinder installed in a hydrogen generator installed in the home, because of the structure of the apparatus. Therefore, a business model of a comprehensive hydrogen water generation system from installation of the hydrogen water generation device in the home to gas filling and delivery of hydrogen gas cylinders and maintenance thereof is required.

  In addition, with regard to hydrogen water generation technology as a device, many hydrogen water generation devices have recently been devised in accordance with health-oriented trends. Hydrogen water generation technology is already known, and hydrogen gas can be generated by reacting water with a mixed powder of a metal such as Al or Mg and a hydrogen generator such as Ca oxide or Ca hydroxide. Hydrogen water is produced by dissolving in contact with drinking water.

  For example, a technique for storing a hydrogen generating agent in a sachet such as a nonwoven fabric and putting the sachet in a drinking water container such as a plastic bottle has appeared (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  However, the most important thing in these embodiments is a technical problem of how to block metal ions so that metal ions derived from Al and Mg do not elute into the drinking water during hydrogen reaction generation.

  Such a problem is an unavoidable technical problem when hydrogen gas is generated using a hydrogen generator, and for that purpose, a component that blocks metal ions in the hydrogen generator is disclosed as disclosed in JP-A-0000-000000. Techniques for mixing or processing the generator storage bag itself with a metal ion block component have been used.

  Therefore, if a hydrogen gas cylinder is used in advance, the idea of eliminating the block problem of metal ions eluted from the hydrogen generating agent has been solved, and a technique for generating hydrogen water by directly dissolving hydrogen gas in water by using a hydrogen gas cylinder. it was thought.

  In other words, this is a technique in which hydrogen gas is taken out from a cylinder using a gas cylinder in which hydrogen gas is stored in advance and dissolved in water as it is.

  However, hydrogen gas cylinders require a high level of safety in handling, and it is necessary to eliminate troublesome tasks such as replacing cylinders and safety. However, the business model of using hydrogen gas cylinders has not yet become widespread.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can easily generate hydrogen water as a simple structural device by using a small hydrogen gas cylinder, and the work such as replacement of the hydrogen gas cylinder can be safely performed by a specialist. In addition, a system that can be efficiently and efficiently constructed can be used to instantly generate hydrogen water in the home for use in beverages. The purpose is to provide a hydrogen water generating device capable of generating hydrogen-dissolved water. Furthermore, a user who uses a home hydrogen water generating device, a manufacturer who manufactures and sells a home hydrogen water generating device, A communication network is constructed by multiple contractors who maintain the hydrogen gas cylinders consumed by the hydrogen water generator, making it easy to generate hydrogen water at home, and the hydrogen content of the generated hydrogen water. Aims to provide a gas filling and delivery system for hydrogen gas cylinders for use in domestic hydrogen water generators, which can significantly improve the effect of hydrogen on the human body compared to conventional hydrogen water. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a gas valve unit is integrally connected and fixed to the tip of a nozzle of a hydrogen gas cylinder, and a gas delivery end located on the lower side of the gas flow operation valve in the gas valve unit is detachably attached to a gas.

A gas valve unit is connected from a hydrogen gas cylinder to the hydrogen water generation tank by providing a hydrogen water spout unit in the hydrogen water generation tank. The gas delivery member member with the integrated structure is formed up to the gas delivery end portion through which the gas delivery end portion at the lowermost side of the integral gas circulation member member is detachable from the gas delivery pipe serving as the starting end of the hydrogen water generation member member. Therefore, if the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen gas cylinder is consumed, the hydrogen gas cylinder is not replaced. The gas flow member is integrally formed with a hydrogen gas flow passage to the gas discharge end through the knit, and the gas flow control valve is opened and the gas flow control valve is opened to remove the gas flow end. Liquid hydrogen is injected from a liquid hydrogen injection device prepared separately from the opening end of the part. When liquid hydrogen is supplied to the hydrogen gas cylinder, the gas flow control valve is closed so that hydrogen gas does not flow out from the open end of the gas delivery end. After that, the gas gas supply pipe, which is the starting end of the hydrogen water generating member member, is connected to the gas supply end part and the gas flow control valve is opened, so that the hydrogen gas gasified from liquid hydrogen in the hydrogen gas cylinder is connected to the gas gas supply pipe. Then, the hydrogen water can be generated by being sent to the hydrogen water generation tank.

  The gist of the present invention is that a gas valve unit is integrally connected and fixed to the tip of a nozzle of a hydrogen gas cylinder, and a base end of a gas air supply pipe is detachably attached to a gas delivery end located on the lower side of the gas flow operation valve in the gas valve unit. This relates to a hydrogen water generating apparatus in which the tip of the gas air pipe is connected in communication with a hydrogen water generating tank whose inside is a sealed space, and the hydrogen water generating tank is provided with a hydrogen water spouting part.

  The gas valve unit includes a male pipe fixed at the nozzle tip of the hydrogen gas cylinder, a female pipe integrally screwed to the male pipe, a gas flow operation valve provided at the tip of the female pipe, and a lower part of the valve. The present invention relates to a hydrogen gas flow passage that includes a gas delivery end portion that communicates with the side, and that extends from a hydrogen gas cylinder to a gas delivery end portion via a nozzle, a male pipe, a female pipe, and a gas flow control valve.

  In addition, the gas delivery end of the gas valve unit and the base end of the gas delivery pipe are connected in a detachable manner via a screwing mechanism so that the hydrogen gas cylinder is filled with hydrogen gas so that the gas valve unit is integrated with the hydrogen gas cylinder. The gas delivery end of the gas valve unit is removed from the gas feed pipe, and hydrogen gas is injected and filled from the gas delivery end of the gas valve unit into the hydrogen gas cylinder through the hydrogen gas flow passage.

  An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. FIG. 15 is an explanatory view showing an example of the hydrogen water generator 30. In the hydrogen water generating device 30, a housing portion 32b for housing a hydrogen gas distribution member member 32a having a hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is formed on a side surface of a device case 31 formed in a box shape, and a water supply pipe 32c is connected. The hydrogen supplied from the hydrogen gas circulation member 32a and the water supplied from the water supply pipe 32c are mixed to operate hydrogen by operating the dispensing handle 37a of the hydrogen water spouting portion 37 formed on the front surface. It forms so that water can be produced | generated and can be used for drinking etc. by discharging hydrogen water from the spout 37b formed in the hydrogen water spouting part 37. FIG.

  In the hydrogen water generator 30 according to the present embodiment, the gas valve unit 38 is integrally connected and fixed to the nozzle tip of the hydrogen gas cylinder 32, and the gas delivery end located on the lower side of the gas flow operation valve 33 in the gas valve unit 38. The portion 33a is configured to be detachably connected to the base end of the gas air supply pipe 35, and is a continuous component member, that is, a hydrogen gas circulation member member 32a.

  Furthermore, a gas supply pipe 35 and a hydrogen water generation tank 36 in an internal sealed space connected to the tip of the gas supply pipe 35 are provided at the gas supply end 33a on the lowermost side of the integrated gas distribution member 32a. A hydrogen water spouting unit 37 provided in the hydrogen water generating tank 36 is continuously connected to the hydrogen water generating tank 36, and the hydrogen water generating member 36 includes the gas supply pipe 35 and the hydrogen water generating tank 36 having the hydrogen water discharging unit 37. It constitutes a member.

  That is, the gas distribution member member 32a is integrally formed from the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 to the gas delivery end portion 33a via the gas valve unit 38. The lowermost gas delivery end portion 33a of the integral gas circulation member member 32a is hydrogen water. The gas supply pipe 35 which is a generation member member is connected in a freely detachable manner.

  Since the gas distribution member member 32a and the hydrogen water generation member member are connected in a freely detachable manner, the entire gas distribution member member 32a including the gas cylinder is separated from the hydrogen water member member instead of replacing the gas cylinder alone. I devised a work form to replace it. That is, a new gas distribution member member 32a filled with hydrogen gas in advance is connected to an empty gas cylinder.

  The reason for this operation mode is that the operation of injecting the hydrogen gas into the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is a special gas with a danger of hydrogen gas.

  Since hydrogen gas is dangerous in a general gas handling environment, it should be handled by a specialist who has been certified by the national gas handling qualification.At the time of handling, hydrogen gas filling work and single cylinder mounting work should be performed. Instead, the entire gas distribution member member 32a in which the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is integrated is connected to the hydrogen water generation member member. In this work mode, when connecting each member, the gas flow operation valve in the gas flow member member 32a is first operated in a closed state, and the hydrogen water generating member member is connected as it is.

  Specifically, the gas delivery end 33a of the gas flow member member 32a and the gas feed pipe 35 of the hydrogen water generation member member are connected via a screwing mechanism to establish a communication connection state.

  In such a work mode, the operator simply closes the gas flow control valve 33 at the site and connects the gas flow member member 32a and the hydrogen water generation member member to prevent accidents such as leakage of hydrogen gas. However, gas can be filled into the cylinder safely and quickly.

  This is one of the important technical solutions of the present invention.

  The hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is filled with hydrogen gas by removing the gas delivery end 33a in the gas valve unit 38 integral with the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 from the gas delivery pipe 35 and passing the hydrogen gas flow path from the gas delivery end 33a in the gas valve unit 38. Then, the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is injected and filled with hydrogen gas.

  Hereinafter, each component of the hydrogen gas distribution member 32a will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is an exploded cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the hydrogen gas circulation member 32a.

  The hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is a steel container having a capacity of about 75 to 90 cc, and can be filled with hydrogen gas compressed to a predetermined pressure.

  A gas valve unit 38 is integrally connected to the hydrogen gas cylinder 32. That is, a male pipe 38a is screwed and fixed integrally at the nozzle tip of the hydrogen gas cylinder, a female pipe 38b is integrally screwed and fixed to the male pipe 38a, and a gas flow operation is performed at the tip of the female pipe 38b. The valve 33 is connected and fixed, and the lower end on the lower side of the valve is an open end as a gas delivery end 33a.

  With the above-described connection configuration, a flow path from the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 to the gas delivery end 33a through the nozzle, the male pipe 38a, the female pipe 38b, and the gas distribution operation valve 33 and the hydrogen gas flow path are formed.

  The gas distribution operation valve 33 uses a ball valve valve, a butterfly valve, or the like, and can distribute and shut off the gas by operating the handle.

  The gas delivery end portion 33a is a gas discharge end portion of the discharge side pipe 33b communicating with the gas flow operation valve 33, and a connecting screw is formed at the end portion.

  The gas supply pipe 35 is a starting end member of the hydrogen water generating member member, and has a connecting screw formed at the end portion 35a, and a connecting screw of the gas sending end portion 33a that is the final member of the hydrogen water generating member member. It is detachably connected via a connecting bolt cylinder 35b.

  That is, normally, the discharge side pipe 33 b and the gas air supply pipe 35 communicated with the gas distribution operation valve 33 are connected to each other by screwing with the connecting bolt cylinder 35 b, but when the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 is replaced, hydrogen water is generated. When removing the gas flow member member 32a from the member member, one of the discharge side pipe 33b and the gas air supply pipe 35 is screwed with the connection bolt cylinder 35b by rotating the connection bolt cylinder 35b in the loosening direction with a jig. The gas circulation member member 32a can be separated and independent from the hydrogen water generating member member.

  Thereafter, the separated gas circulation member member 32a is replaced with a new gas circulation member member 32a filled with hydrogen gas, and connected through the connecting bolt cylinder 35b, thereby completing the same operation as the gas filling.

  FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing a simplified internal configuration of the hydrogen water generator 30. The hydrogen water generation tank 36 is a case that is an internal sealed space that is only filled with hydrogen gas, and is configured such that water can be sprayed from above.

  That is, by spraying water into a hydrogen gas-filled space, the contact area between the water particle surface and the gas is increased as much as possible to improve the hydrogen gas dissolution rate and to generate a large amount of hydrogen water in a short time.

  The hydrogen water spouting unit 37 is a drainage mechanism unit for recovering the generated hydrogen water provided in the lower part of the hydrogen water generating tank 36. The hydrogen water spouting unit 37 is provided with a water stop valve 28 for discharging and stopping the generated hydrogen water in the middle of the flow path, and a control mechanism 37c for controlling the water stop valve 28 electrically or mechanically. It is connected. Further, the control mechanism 37c switches between a water switching valve 37d that switches between a water flow state and a water stop state in the middle of the water supply pipe 32c, and a ventilation state and a stop state in the middle of the gas air supply pipe 35. It is also connected to a gas switching valve 37e, and the generated hydrogen water is sprayed with water and hydrogen gas into the interior 36 through the control mechanism 37c by opening the cock-shaped pouring handle 37a. The water stop valve 28 is opened and discharged from the spout 37b, and can be drunk in a suitable container.

  The operation of filling the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 in the separated gas distribution member 32a with hydrogen gas is performed by feeding hydrogen gas from the gas delivery end 33a of the gas valve unit 38 in the reverse direction of the hydrogen gas flow path to the hydrogen gas cylinder 32. Fill with hydrogen gas.

  The gist of the hydrogen gas filling and delivery system used in the above-described hydrogen water generator is as follows. That is, the present invention relates to a system server that performs a hydrogen gas filling and delivery service for a hydrogen cylinder mounted on a household hydrogen water generator, a member terminal that each member of the hydrogen gas filling and delivery service has, and a public communication line A hydrogen gas filling and delivery system in which the system server and the member terminal are connected to each other via a network so that they can communicate with each other, wherein the system server includes a manufacturer of the hydrogen water generator, the hydrogen water A generator distributor, a cylinder collector that recovers the hydrogen gas cylinders consumed in the hydrogen water generator, a gas filler that fills the hydrogen gas cylinders with the hydrogen gas consumed in the hydrogen water generator, and the hydrogen water A member registration means for registering a user who uses the generator as a member of the hydrogen gas filling and delivery system; Apparatus characteristic registration means for registering apparatus characteristic information of the hydrogen water generating apparatus, sales characteristic registration means for registering sales characteristic information when the seller sells the hydrogen water generating apparatus to a user, and the cylinder recovery A cylinder collection registration means for registering cylinder collection characteristic information for a supplier to collect a hydrogen gas cylinder; a gas filling registration means for registering gas filling characteristic information for the gas filling company to fill a hydrogen gas cylinder; The present invention relates to a hydrogen gas filling and delivery system.

The gas pressure adjusting mechanism 34 is a device for adjusting the pressure of the hydrogen gas supplied from the hydrogen gas cylinder 32 to the hydrogen water generation tank 36 via the air supply pipe 35 (for example, maintaining a constant pressure). The hydrogen water generation tank 36 stores a predetermined amount of water supplied from a water source (not shown) (for example, water supply), and a predetermined concentration is obtained by mixing hydrogen gas into the predetermined amount of water at a predetermined pressure.

  The cylinder collection characteristic information is stored in the control unit 13 (hereinafter referred to as the control unit 13) of the system server 10 in step S27 of the user member registration process (see FIG. 5) when the user registers as a member in the hydrogen gas filling and delivery system 1 of the present embodiment. The first cylinder recovery characteristic information is created by the control unit 13 and registered (stored) in the storage unit 11 of the system server 10. However, after the second time, the information is updated each time when the cylinder recovery company that performs the cylinder recovery operation performs the recovery operation of the hydrogen gas cylinder of the hydrogen water generator used by the target user.

  If the cylinder collection characteristic information is a member registered in the hydrogen gas filling and delivery system 1 of the present embodiment, the hydrogen gas filling and delivery site of the system server 10 is the same as the apparatus characteristic information and the sales characteristic information described above. Can be viewed freely. Thereby, for example, the user can confirm the collection and replacement date and time of the hydrogen gas cylinder of the hydrogen water generator used by the user when necessary. Further, the hydrogen water generator cylinder recovery contractor can always check the recovery date of the hydrogen gas cylinder in the user's hydrogen water generator.

  In the hydrogen gas filling and delivery system 1 of the present embodiment, in order to avoid the dangers associated with the replacement work of a hydrogen gas cylinder that has a risk of using high-pressure hydrogen gas, a specialized contractor (cylinder recovery contractor who is qualified to handle hydrogen gas) , The gas filling company) in the hydrogen water generator based on the consumption information of the hydrogen gas cylinder from the user or periodically (for example, every three months when the user uses the hydrogen water generator) Recover and replace the hydrogen gas cylinder, that is, when the user in charge of the cylinder recovery company recognizes that the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen gas cylinder of the hydrogen water generator used has been consumed, go to the user's home and collect the hydrogen gas cylinder.・ Perform replacement work, and bring the collected empty hydrogen gas cylinder to the factory of the gas filling company (E).
