The present invention relates to an oxygen generator using a titanium foam (Ti foam), oxygen water purifier and oxygen water bath apparatus using the same. More specifically, an oxygen generator capable of generating a large amount of oxygen in a short time by electrolyzing water by using a titanium foam having a large specific surface area as a positive electrode, and installing the oxygen generator in the flow path of the water purifier to the human body An oxygen water purifier for supplying beneficial oxygen water, and an oxygen water bath device that can contribute to skin care and health by mounting such an oxygen generator between a water supply pump and a bath.

Oxygen is a substance that occupies about one fifth of the atmosphere, and is combined with hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells and supplied to every part of the human body. In particular, it is known that when enough oxygen is supplied into the human body, it stimulates cellular activity and has a whitening effect and an anti-aging effect on the skin. In addition, such oxygen is known to help a lot of skin care, including a massage effect when the oxygen comes in contact with the skin.

The effects of lack of oxygen on the human body are known through various papers and news. For example, the lack of oxygen in the human body causes serious disorders in the brain, causing headaches, memory loss, senility, encephalopathy, and the like, and lowering liver function and slowing blood circulation. In addition, when a person drinks alcohol (C ₂ H ₅ OH) is decomposed into acetaldehyde (CH ₃ CHO) and re-decomposed into carbonic acid and water, this process requires three molecules of oxygen. Therefore, people who drink a lot of alcohol and smoke while drinking are experiencing excessive oxygen deficiency.

Common oxygen generation methods include a method using a compressor and a method using electrolysis of water.

The method of using a compressor consists of purifying the outside air with a filter or the like, compressing the air with a compressor, removing moisture, removing nitrogen by adsorption, and then dissolving oxygen in water or the like depending on the purpose. . This method has a problem in that it is unsuitable for application to a room due to the large size and high noise generation by using the compressor. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain high purity oxygen because the reliability of the process of removing nitrogen is low. In addition, there is a problem in that the equipment is complicated, and after a certain period of time, a high incidence of failure and high costs are required for maintenance and repair.

The method of using water electrolysis is a method of generating oxygen on the positive electrode terminal side by inserting a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal into water and electrolyzing water by flowing a current. Conventional methods use a rod or plate metal as a positive electrode terminal, so that the amount of oxygen generated is small, so that the effect is insignificant when applied to an actual product.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of an oxygen generator that can increase the amount of oxygen while using water electrolysis.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, in particular an oxygen generator capable of generating a large amount of oxygen in a short time by electrolyzing water using a titanium foam having a large specific surface area as a (+) electrode, Providing an oxygen water purifier that supplies oxygen water beneficial to the human body by mounting the oxygen generator in the flow path of the water purifier, and an oxygen water bath device that can contribute to skin care and health by installing such oxygen generator between the water supply pump and the bathtub Its purpose is to.

In addition, the titanium foam may have a rod shape having a plurality of pores therein.

In addition, one end of the first conductive net may be bonded to the (+) terminal, and the second conductive net may be joined to the one end of the (-) terminal.

In addition, the oxygen water purifier according to the present invention is provided with an oxygen generator in the oxygen water purifier to provide oxygen water, the filter; And the oxygen generator for providing oxygen to the water passing through the filter.

In addition, the oxygen water bath apparatus according to the present invention is provided with an oxygen generator for providing oxygen water oxygen pump, comprising: a pump for sucking and discharging water; The oxygen generator providing oxygen to water discharged from the pump; And a bath in which oxygen water passed through the oxygen generator is introduced.

The titanium foam 110 is formed with a plurality of pores therein. The titanium foam 110 washes the resin foam having an open cell structure, and then coats the conductor on the surface of the resin foam, coats titanium thereon, and heat-treats the resin foam to form the resin foam. It is prepared in such a way that it is decomposed and removed (see Patent No. 0565006 of the applicant). Thus, it has a relatively large specific surface area compared to other shapes (for example, titanium rods or titanium plates) when using the same amount of titanium. As a result, it is easy to generate a large amount of oxygen in a short time. In addition, the titanium foam 110 is formed in a substantially rod shape, and is preferably formed in a cylindrical shape in consideration of the case where the oxygen generator 100 is inserted into a water purifier or a bath apparatus.

The first conductive net 120 is formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the titanium foam 110. The first conductive net 120 may be formed in a form in which any one of an upper surface or a lower surface is opened, or may be formed in both an upper surface and a lower surface. The first conductive net 120 is made of a metal material having excellent electrical conductivity, and preferably made of iron having low cost and excellent durability. Thus, the first conductive mesh 120 is electrically connected to the titanium foam 110. However, the material of the first conductive net 120 is not limited thereto.

The (+) terminal 125 is drawn out to one end of the first conductive net 120. The (+) terminal 125 is made of a conductive metal, and one end thereof is electrically connected to the first conductive net 120 by soldering or the like. The other end of the (+) terminal 125 is electrically connected to the (+) pole of the power supply device P, so that the (+) DC power is applied when the power supply device P operates.

The insulating net 130 is formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the first conductive net 120. The insulating net 130 is also formed in a form in which either the upper or lower surface is opened, or both the upper and lower surfaces. The insulating net 130 is formed of an insulating material such as a plastic net or a fiber net, and serves to electrically insulate the first conductive net 120 and the second conductive net 140 from each other.

The second conductive net 140 is formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the insulating net 130. The second conductive net 140 is also formed such that either one of the upper and lower surfaces is opened, or both the upper and lower surfaces are opened. Like the first conductive nets 120, the second conductive nets 140 are made of a metal material having excellent electrical conductivity, and are preferably made of iron having low cost and excellent durability. However, the material of the second conductive net 140 is not limited thereto.

The (-) terminal 145 is drawn out to one end of the second conductive net 140. The (-) terminal 145 is made of a conductive metal material similarly to the (+) terminal 125, and one end thereof is electrically connected to the second conductive net 140 by soldering or the like. The other end of the (-) terminal 145 is electrically connected to the (-) pole of the power supply device (P), so that when the power supply device (P) operates (-) DC power is applied.

Hereinafter, the operation of the oxygen generator 100 will be described.

First, the (+) terminal of the first conductive network 120 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply device P, and the (-) terminal of the second conductive network 140 is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply device P. do.

Thereafter, the titanium foam 110, the first conductive net 120, the insulating net 130, and the second conductive net 140 of the oxygen generator 100 are put in water to operate the power supply device P. Let's do it.

When the power supply device P is operated, a positive DC power is applied to the first conductive net 120 through the positive terminal 125. Since the first conductive net 120 is electrically connected to the titanium foam 110, a positive DC power is also applied to the titanium foam 110. In addition, a negative (-) DC power source is applied to the second conductive net 140 through the negative terminal (145). At this time, the applied DC voltage is approximately 10 ~ 20V. Then, electrolysis occurs between the first conductive net 120 ((+) pole] and the second conductive net 140 ([-) pole]. The reaction scheme of electrolysis is as follows.

(+) ^{Electrode: 2O 2 - (aq) →} O 2 (g) + 4e -

(-) ^{electrode: 2H + (aq) + 2e} - → H 2 (g)

(Where aq is an ion and g is a gaseous state)

That is, the oxidation reaction occurs while oxygen ions give up electrons at the positive electrode, and the hydrogen ions acquire electrons at the negative electrode to cause a reduction reaction. Electrons (e ⁻ ) generated at the positive electrode are supplied to the negative electrode via an external conductor, so that as long as power is supplied, these electrolysis reactions occur continuously. At this time, since the positive electrode is a titanium foam 110 having a large specific surface area serves as an electrode, a large amount of oxygen is eluted in water in a short time.

The oxygen generator 100 has an advantage that can be used repeatedly and continuously without a separate failure if only the power supply (P) is replaced. In addition, when AC power is supplied as a main power supply, it should supply after converting into DC power using an AC / DC converter.

Thereafter, the second conductive net 140 is overlaid on the outer circumferential surface of the insulating net 130. On the other hand, if both the upper and lower portions of the first conductive mesh 120, the insulating mesh 130 and the second conductive mesh 140 is opened, the arrangement is the same as the case of Figure 1a.
