Description

Hydrogen generator

The present invention relates to a hydrogen generator, and more particularly to a hydrogen generator for use in a motor vehicle.

In line with the development of Green Energy Technology, a hydrogen generator used in the past to produce hydrogen gas to replace kinetic energy to motor vehicles, as described in patent TW M436061, discloses a hydrogen generator with an automatic water supply control device. However, the efficacy of the previously disclosed patents still has some improvements in various aspects. Therefore, a hydrogen generator with more complete functions is one of the research and development targets of related companies.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen generator that is more efficient.

Therefore, the novel hydrogen generator includes a main casing, a cover body, and at least one heat dissipating unit. The main casing includes an electrolytic cell. The cover body is disposed on the main casing, and the cover body includes a a heat pipe comprising a heat pipe made of metal and mounted to the main casing and passing through the electrolytic cell, and a metal gasket for connecting the heat pipe to the main casing, the metal gasket is located The outer surface of the main casing.

The effect of the novel is to increase the heat dissipation rate of the hydrogen generator through the heat dissipating unit, and the heat pipe is used to pass through the electrolysis cell, and the heat energy inside the cell can be taken out to the metal washers to make the heat It can be dissipated through a metal gasket on the outer surface of the main casing.

Other features and effects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description of the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first preferred embodiment of the present hydrogen generator; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the present invention. A main housing, a cover, at least one heat dissipating unit, at least one window unit, and a partition plate of the first preferred embodiment; FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the heat dissipating unit and the window unit of the first preferred embodiment And FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the window unit of the first preferred embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , a first preferred embodiment of the novel hydrogen generator includes a main casing 1 , a cover 2 , at least one heat dissipation unit 3 , at least one window unit 4 , and a partition plate 5.

The main casing 1 includes an electrolytic cell 11 , and the cover 2 is disposed on the main casing 1 . The cover 2 includes an inlet pipe 21 through which the water is injected into the electrolytic cell of the main casing 1 . In the middle, the electric current is passed into the electrolytic cell 11 to electrolyze water to generate hydrogen gas.

In the first preferred embodiment, three are spaced apart from each other Arrangement of the heat dissipating unit 3, each of the heat dissipating units 3 includes a heat pipe 31 made of metal and mounted on the main casing 1 and passing through the electrolytic cell 11, and two for connecting the heat pipe 31 to the main a metal washer 32 of the housing 1 is formed with an internal thread 33 in the heat dissipating tube 31. The metal washer 32 is located on the outer surface of the main housing 1, and the heat radiating tube 31 passes through the electrolytic bath 11 so that the internal heat energy can be The metal gasket 32 is brought out to allow heat to escape through the metal gasket 32 on the outer surface of the main casing 1.

It is worth mentioning that when used in a large motor vehicle, a screw (not shown) can be screwed to the internal thread 33 of the heat pipe 31 to connect a plurality of hydrogen generators in series to facilitate hydrogen production as needed. The amount of hydrogen generator is connected in series.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the first preferred embodiment, two window units 4 are arranged spaced apart from each other and mounted to the main casing 1. Each window unit 4 includes a transparent and circular aperture cover 41. a leakage preventing ring 42 disposed between the hole cover 41 and the main casing 1 and a viewing plate 43 mounted on the hole cover 41. The sight plate 43 and the hole cover 41 are formed with water inlet. The hole 44 has a leak-proof flange 421. The water in the electrolytic cell 11 of the main casing 1 flows between the hole cover 41 and the viewing plate 43 via the water inlet hole 44. The hole cover 41 is transparent. And the viewing panel 43 is designed to be light-colored and has a scale or mark to facilitate the user to view the water level. In addition, the window unit 4 is designed to be circular, and the leak-proof flange 421 of the anti-leak ring 42 can be completely avoided. Water leaks out.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the function of viewing the water level, when the air pressure in the main casing 1 is too large, the window unit 4 will release the air pressure by ejecting the window units 4 to avoid the main Housing 1 A burst occurs due to excessive air pressure.

The partition plate 5 is located in the partition plate 5 between the main casing 1 and the cover body 2, and the partition plate 5 defines a through hole 51. The partition plate 5 can prevent water from being detached from the main casing 1 and the cover body 2. Overflow.

In summary, the advantages of the novel hydrogen generator are as follows:

1. The heat pipe 31 passes through the electrolytic cell 11 so that the internal heat energy can be carried out to the metal washers 32, so that heat can be dissipated through the metal washer 32 on the outer surface of the main casing 1.

Second, a screw (not shown) is screwed to the internal thread 33 of the heat pipe 31, and a plurality of hydrogen generators are connected in series to facilitate the adjustment of the number of hydrogen generators in series according to the required hydrogen production amount.

3. The aperture cover 41 of the window unit 4 is transparent and the view panel 43 is designed to be light colored and has a scale or mark to facilitate viewing of the water level by the user.

4. The window unit 4 is designed to be circular, and the leak-proof flange 421 of the anti-leak ring 42 can completely prevent water from leaking out.

5. When the air pressure in the main casing 1 is too large, the air pressure is released by ejecting the window units 4 to prevent the main casing 1 from bursting due to excessive air pressure.

It can be seen from the foregoing advantages that the novel hydrogen generator is more effective and achieves the purpose of the present invention.

However, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present patent application and the contents of the patent specification, All remain within the scope of this new patent.
