　以下に、本発明の一実施の形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図１は、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の本体を示す外観図、図２は、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の内部構成を示す正面図、図３はブロック図、図４は、ポータブル水素吸引装置１に用いられる電極部２を示す図である。ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、携帯できるように幅が２００～２４０ｍｍ、高さが１２０～１６０ｍｍ、奥行きが５０～６０ｍｍとされ、その重量は０.６～１ｋｇとすることが望ましい。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is an external view showing the main body of the portable hydrogen suction device 1, FIG. 2 is a front view showing the internal configuration of the portable hydrogen suction device 1, FIG. 3 is a block diagram, and FIG. 4 is used for the portable hydrogen suction device 1. It is a figure which shows the electrode part 2 to be attached. The portable hydrogen suction device 1 has a width of 200 to 240 mm, a height of 120 to 160 mm, and a depth of 50 to 60 mm so as to be portable, and its weight is preferably 0.6 to 1 kg.
　ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、本体がＡ４サイズ以下であり、奥行きが通常のビジネスバッグに入れられる薄さである。したがって、一般家庭のリビングルーム、スポーツジムや介護施設の室内、その他自動車、電車、飛行機などの車内に容易に設置ができ、手軽に水素吸引が可能となる。 The main body of the portable hydrogen suction device 1 is A4 size or smaller, and the depth is thin enough to fit in a normal business bag. Therefore, it can be easily installed in the living room of a general household, in a sports gym or a nursing care facility, or in a car such as an automobile, a train, or an airplane, and hydrogen suction can be easily performed.
　ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、水を電気分解して水素ガスを毎分４０～６０ｍｌ、望ましくは５０ｍｌ±１０％生成する。そして、ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、水素ガスと空気を混ぜた吐出ガスを毎分５００～１５００ｍｌの吐出ガスの量として室内や車内に供給し、「吸っている感」を高めるようにしている。 The portable hydrogen suction device 1 electrolyzes water to generate 40 to 60 ml of hydrogen gas per minute, preferably 50 ml ± 10%. Then, the portable hydrogen suction device 1 supplies a discharge gas that is a mixture of hydrogen gas and air as an amount of discharge gas of 500 to 1500 ml per minute into the room or the vehicle to enhance the "feeling of sucking".
　また、ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、自動車、電車、飛行機などの車内への設置を考慮して、１００Ｖの家庭用コンセント、車のシガーソケット、１２Ｖの直流電源、例えば充電池で使用可とし、使用時に倒れにくく、持ち運び時に水が漏れない構造となっている。なお、一般的な乗用車のシガーソケットはＤＣ１２Ｖ、トラックなど、大型の車両だとＤＣ２４Ｖである。 In addition, the portable hydrogen suction device 1 can be used with a 100V household outlet, a car cigar socket, a 12V DC power supply, for example, a rechargeable battery, in consideration of installation in a car, a train, an airplane, or the like.

The cigar socket of a general passenger car is DC12V, and that of a large vehicle such as a truck is DC24V.
　さらに、供給時の水素濃度は２～１０％、４％がより望ましく、ポータブル水素吸引装置１が倒れたときに電源が切れる、水を電気分解する水タンク１１の水位が下がったり、水素ガスが詰まったりした場合、電源が切れるようにして安全性を高めている。 Further, the hydrogen concentration at the time of supply is more preferably 2 to 10% and 4%, and the power is turned off when the portable hydrogen suction device 1 collapses, the water level of the water tank 11 for electrolyzing water drops, or hydrogen gas is released. If it gets clogged, the power is turned off to improve safety.

In addition, since it contains almost no hydrogen, it can be used with peace of mind, and it does not generate heat even when used for a long time, so safety can be improved.
　ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、水素ガスを人が吸入することにより、自律神経の機能レベルを向上させ、疲労回復、リラックス効果、高負荷の運動やストレスなどで体内に多く発生する悪玉活性酸素を排出する作用が期待できる。特に、ポータブル水素吸引装置１を自動車、電車、飛行機などの車内に設置することは、搭乗している乗員の眠気防止効果を高め、長時間にわたる運転において、強い身体的、精神的ストレスにさらされた運転者の疲労回復を促進する効果も期待できる。 The portable hydrogen suction device 1 improves the functional level of the autonomic nerves by inhaling hydrogen gas by a person, and discharges bad active oxygen that is often generated in the body due to fatigue recovery, relaxing effect, high-load exercise and stress. Can be expected to have an effect. In particular, installing the portable hydrogen suction device 1 in a car, train, airplane, or the like enhances the drowsiness prevention effect of the occupants on board, and is exposed to strong physical and psychological stress during long-term driving. It can also be expected to have the effect of promoting recovery from fatigue of the driver.
　図１において、４０は水注入口であり、水素を発生する起動に当たって、予め蓋４０－１を図のように開けて、水、又は精製水を水タンク１１へ満たすまで入れる。４２は、起動ボタンであり、水素は、起動ボタン４２を押圧すると言うひとつの簡単操作ですばやく開始される。４３は、吐出口であり、使用時に蓋４３－１を図のように開いておく。４１は、表示部であり、水素発生していること、発生時間などを表示する。 In FIG. 1, reference numeral 40 denotes a water inlet, and when starting to generate hydrogen, the lid 40-1 is opened in advance as shown in the figure, and water or purified water is filled into the water tank 11 until it is filled. Reference numeral 42 denotes a start button, and hydrogen can be started quickly by one simple operation of pressing the start button 42. Reference numeral 43 denotes a discharge port, and the lid 43-1 is opened as shown in the figure at the time of use. Reference numeral 41 denotes a display unit, which displays that hydrogen is being generated, the generation time, and the like.
　また、水素発生の圧力が高くなった場合、水素量が多くなり過ぎた場合、ポータブル水素吸引装置１が所定の角度以上に傾いた場合、水タンク１１内の水位が低下した場合、赤く点滅して警告を表示する。例えば、警告表示は、例えば、赤く点滅して警告を表示→Ｅ１（圧力センサ作動）、Ｅ２（傾斜センサ作動）、Ｅ３（水位センサ作動）、Ｅ４（電極異常を検知）などである。また、４４は、放熱のための小穴であり、正面に多数設けられている。 Further, when the pressure for generating hydrogen becomes high, the amount of hydrogen becomes too large, the portable hydrogen suction device 1 is tilted more than a predetermined angle, or the water level in the water tank 11 drops, it blinks red. To display a warning. For example, the warning display blinks red to display a warning → E1 (pressure sensor operation), E2 (tilt sensor operation), E3 (water level sensor operation), E4 (electrode abnormality detected), and the like. Further, 44 is a small hole for heat dissipation, and a large number of holes are provided on the front surface.
　ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、本体に電極部２と、水タンク１１と、気液分離器１２と、乾燥フィルタ１３と、電源部３と、制御基板４と、表示基板５とを備える。電極部２は、水電気分解用電極材料からなる水素極２２及び酸素極２３、ＰＥＭ膜（量子交換膜）２４から構成される。 The portable hydrogen suction device 1 includes an electrode unit 2, a water tank 11, a gas-liquid separator 12, a drying filter 13, a power supply unit 3, a control board 4, and a display board 5 in the main body. The electrode portion 2 is composed of a hydrogen electrode 22 and an oxygen electrode 23 made of an electrode material for water electrolysis, and a PEM film (quantum exchange membrane) 24.
　電極部２は、少なくとも水の水供給接続部３４と水素ガスを吐出させる水素吐出部３１とが設けられる密閉容器を有するように形成される。水タンク１１は、水、望ましくは精製水が入れられる。また、水タンク１１から電極部２への給水管３４－１は、素材としては例えば、樹脂を用いる。 The electrode portion 2 is formed so as to have at least a closed container provided with a water supply connection portion 34 for water and a hydrogen discharge portion 31 for discharging hydrogen gas. The water tank 11 is filled with water, preferably purified water. Further, for the water supply pipe 34-1 from the water tank 11 to the electrode portion 2, for example, resin is used as the material.
　電極部２は密閉容器内で形成され、密閉容器の中で水素極２２と酸素極２３とが電解質膜（ＰＥＭ膜２４）の両側を挟むように設けられる。密閉容器は、例えば非導電性材料で形成される。もしくは、主に金属材料で形成されていても、非導電性のシートで容器内部側が覆われている等が望ましい。 The electrode portion 2 is formed in a closed container, and the hydrogen electrode 22 and the oxygen electrode 23 are provided in the closed container so as to sandwich both sides of the electrolyte membrane (PEM membrane 24). The closed container is made of, for example, a non-conductive material. Alternatively, even if it is mainly made of a metal material, it is desirable that the inside of the container is covered with a non-conductive sheet.
　電極部２は、水タンク１１から供給された精製水を電気分解して、水素ガスを生成する。電極部２は、例えば単一のセルユニット構成の場合、電極間印加電圧１．６Ｖ以上で水を電気分解することが可能である。電源部３は、電極部２における水素極２２と酸素極２３との間に直流電圧を印加して、直流の電気を供給する。 The electrode unit 2 electrolyzes the purified water supplied from the water tank 11 to generate hydrogen gas. In the case of a single cell unit configuration, for example, the electrode unit 2 can electrolyze water at a voltage applied between electrodes of 1.6 V or more. The power supply unit 3 applies a direct current voltage between the hydrogen electrode 22 and the oxygen electrode 23 in the electrode unit 2 to supply direct current electricity.
　また、電源部３は、その他にも、図３に示す制御基板４、表示基板５、センサ・計器類などに対して、必要な電圧レベルの電気を供給する。電力は、１００Ｖコンセント、又は１２Ｖで供給され、２０～４０Ｗ程度で発生ガス純度９９．９９９％の水素ガスを毎分５０ｍｌ吐出する。 In addition, the power supply unit 3 supplies electricity at a required voltage level to the control board 4, the display board 5, sensors, instruments, and the like shown in FIG. The electric power is supplied from a 100V outlet or 12V, and 50 ml of hydrogen gas having a generated gas purity of 99.999% is discharged at about 20 to 40 W per minute.
　水タンク１１は、電気分解するための水、又は精製水を電極部２へ補給するだけでなく、気液分離器１２及び電極部２から循環して戻される水を、受け入れ可能なように流路３２－１、３１－１が設けられている。流路３２－１、３１－１は、給水管３４－１と同一の素材である柔軟性がある樹脂が用いられる。気液分離器１２は、電極部２から吐出される水素ガスを含む水から、水と水素ガスを分離する。 The water tank 11 not only replenishes the electrode portion 2 with water for electrolysis or purified water, but also allows the water circulated and returned from the gas-liquid separator 12 and the electrode portion 2 to flow so as to be acceptable. Roads 32-1 and 31-1 are provided. Flexible resin, which is the same material as the water supply pipe 34-1, is used for the flow paths 32-1 and 31-1. The gas-liquid separator 12 separates water and hydrogen gas from water containing hydrogen gas discharged from the electrode portion 2.
　気液分離器１２は、水と水素ガスを分離後に、流路３１－１を通じて水を水タンク１１に戻し、水素ガスを乾燥フィルタ１３へ吐出する。乾燥フィルタ１３は、気液分離器１２から吐出された水分を含む水素ガスを通し、水素ガスを通過させる間のフィルタにより水分を除去して乾燥させる。乾燥フィルタ１３は、流路１３－１を介して、乾燥させた水素ガスを吐出する。 After separating the water and the hydrogen gas, the gas-liquid separator 12 returns the water to the water tank 11 through the flow path 31-1 and discharges the hydrogen gas to the drying filter 13. The drying filter 13 passes hydrogen gas containing water discharged from the gas-liquid separator 12 and removes water by a filter while passing the hydrogen gas to dry. The drying filter 13 discharges the dried hydrogen gas through the flow path 13-1.
　水素量計１１４は、流路１３－１を通る水素ガスの流量を測定する。水素量計１１４は、測定データを制御基板４に送出する。例えば、制御基板４は、測定データに基づいて、水素ガスの生成量として換算して水素ガスの生成量を調節する。液面センサ１１１は、水タンク１１に貯蔵される水の液面を測定する水位センサである。 The hydrogen meter 114 measures the flow rate of hydrogen gas passing through the flow path 13-1. The hydrogen meter 114 sends the measurement data to the control board 4. For example, the control board 4 adjusts the amount of hydrogen gas produced by converting it as the amount of hydrogen gas produced based on the measurement data. The liquid level sensor 111 is a water level sensor that measures the liquid level of water stored in the water tank 11.
　制御基板４は、液面センサ１１１により、水の残量を検知して、水位が所定値よりも低下、あるいは水がなくなったときに水素の生成を停止し、空焚きを防止する。液面センサ１１１は、測定データを制御基板４に送出する。電極電流検知センサ１１２は、電極部２を流れる電流を測定する。電極電流検知センサ１１２は、測定データを制御基板４に送出する。 The control board 4 detects the remaining amount of water by the liquid level sensor 111, and stops the generation of hydrogen when the water level drops below a predetermined value or runs out of water to prevent empty heating. The liquid level sensor 111 sends the measurement data to the control board 4. The electrode current detection sensor 112 measures the current flowing through the electrode portion 2. The electrode current detection sensor 112 sends measurement data to the control board 4.
　水素圧力センサ１１３は、乾燥フィルタ１３の出口側に設けられ、乾燥フィルタ１３から吐出される水素ガスの圧力を測定する。水素圧力センサ１１３は、測定データを制御基板４に送出する。これにより、ガス発生圧力は、０.０１～０．４ＭＰａに調整され、高圧になる前に、表示部４１の水素発生確認窓が赤く点滅し自動的に水素生成をストップする。 The hydrogen pressure sensor 113 is provided on the outlet side of the drying filter 13 and measures the pressure of the hydrogen gas discharged from the drying filter 13. The hydrogen pressure sensor 113 sends the measurement data to the control board 4. As a result, the gas generation pressure is adjusted to 0.01 to 0.4 MPa, and the hydrogen generation confirmation window of the display unit 41 flashes red and automatically stops hydrogen generation before the pressure becomes high.
　乾燥フィルタ１３から吐出された水素ガスは、水素量計１１４を介して流路１３－１を通ってエアポンプ３７の吸い込み口と連結されて、矢印３７－１のように合流する。エアポンプ３７は、矢印３７－２のように空気を吸い込む。したがって、水素ガスと空気は、矢印３７－１で合流して、矢印３７－３のように吐出口４３から混合されて吐出される。空気を混ぜた吐出ガス量は、毎分５００～１５００ｍｌとして、「吸っている感」を強調する。 The hydrogen gas discharged from the drying filter 13 passes through the flow path 13-1 via the hydrogen meter 114, is connected to the suction port of the air pump 37, and merges as shown by arrow 37-1. The air pump 37 sucks in air as shown by arrow 37-2. Therefore, the hydrogen gas and the air are merged at arrow 37-1, mixed and discharged from the discharge port 43 as shown by arrow 37-3. The amount of discharged gas mixed with air is set to 500 to 1500 ml per minute to emphasize the "feeling of sucking".
　なお、給水管３４－１、各流路（３２－１、３１－１）は、柔軟性のある樹脂とされている。したがって、各構成要素（水タンク１１、電極部２、制御基板４、表示基板５、乾燥フィルタ１３、気液分離器１２、水素量計１１４など）をコンパクトに配置が可能となる。したがって、給水管３４－１、各流路（３２－１、３１－１）を柔軟性のある樹脂とすることは、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の小型化、薄型化に大きく貢献している。 The water supply pipe 34-1 and each flow path (32-1, 31-1) are made of flexible resin. Therefore, each component (water tank 11, electrode portion 2, control board 4, display board 5, drying filter 13, gas-liquid separator 12, hydrogen meter 114, etc.) can be arranged compactly. Therefore, using a flexible resin for the water supply pipe 34-1 and each flow path (32-1, 31-1) greatly contributes to the miniaturization and thinning of the portable hydrogen suction device 1.
　制御基板４は、各種センサから測定される測定データを収集し、収集した測定データに基づいて、各状態（水素ガス量・水残量・電極電流等）を監視する。例えば、制御基板４は、電極電流検知センサ１１２で過電流を検出した場合に、電源部３からの電気の供給を停止させる保護機能などが設けられている。 The control board 4 collects measurement data measured from various sensors and monitors each state (hydrogen gas amount, remaining amount of water, electrode current, etc.) based on the collected measurement data. For example, the control board 4 is provided with a protection function for stopping the supply of electricity from the power supply unit 3 when an overcurrent is detected by the electrode current detection sensor 112.
　制御基板４は、メモリ、ＣＰＵなどを有し、監視・保護・制御機能が組み込まれたプログラムにより、監視・保護・制御の動作処理が実行される。また、制御基板４は、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の運転時間が長くなって所定時間を超えた場合、水素の生成を停止する。 The control board 4 has a memory, a CPU, and the like, and a monitoring / protection / control operation process is executed by a program incorporating a monitoring / protection / control function. Further, when the operation time of the portable hydrogen suction device 1 becomes long and exceeds a predetermined time, the control board 4 stops the generation of hydrogen.
　また、３６は、傾斜センサであり、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の傾き、あるいは電極部２の傾きを検出する。なお、実際には、電極部２の傾きが重要であり、電極部２が傾くと水が均等に行かないので、水素の生成に障害となる。したがって、傾斜センサ３６は、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の本体のいずれかの個所でもよいが、電極部２に直接設けることがより望ましい。 Reference numeral 36 denotes a tilt sensor, which detects the tilt of the portable hydrogen suction device 1 or the tilt of the electrode portion 2. In reality, the inclination of the electrode portion 2 is important, and if the electrode portion 2 is tilted, water does not flow evenly, which hinders the generation of hydrogen. Therefore, the tilt sensor 36 may be provided at any part of the main body of the portable hydrogen suction device 1, but it is more preferable to provide the tilt sensor 36 directly on the electrode portion 2.
　その他、ポータブル水素吸引装置１が所定の角度以上に傾いた場合、水が漏れ、電源部３や制御基板４へ影響する恐れがある。制御基板４は、傾斜センサ３６によってポータブル水素吸引装置１が所定の角度、例えば１０～４５°以上の傾きが検出された場合、警報を鳴らし、水素の生成を停止する。また、傾斜センサ３６によってポータブル水素吸引装置１が倒れたことが検出されたときには電源が切れる。 In addition, if the portable hydrogen suction device 1 is tilted more than a predetermined angle, water may leak and affect the power supply unit 3 and the control board 4. When the tilt sensor 36 detects a tilt of the portable hydrogen suction device 1 at a predetermined angle, for example, 10 to 45 ° or more, the control board 4 sounds an alarm and stops hydrogen production. Further, when the tilt sensor 36 detects that the portable hydrogen suction device 1 has fallen, the power is turned off.
　特に、自動車や新幹線で使用するときは、カーブで傾斜センサ３６が誤動作する恐れがあるので、警報を鳴らす、又は水素の生成を停止する角度の設定は、重要である。ポータブル水素吸引装置１の傾きが１０～４５°未満場合は、許容範囲とすることが実用的である。また、制御基板４は、ポータブル水素吸引装置１が倒れた場合には電源も切断する。傾斜センサ３６は、気泡や振り子を利用した機械的なもの、ポテンショメータや磁気を利用したもの、ＭＥＭＳ技術を利用したもの、電解液の傾きを利用したものが使用される。 Especially when used in automobiles and bullet trains, the tilt sensor 36 may malfunction on curves, so it is important to set the angle to sound an alarm or stop the production of hydrogen. When the inclination of the portable hydrogen suction device 1 is less than 10 to 45 °, it is practical to set it within an allowable range. Further, the control board 4 also cuts off the power supply when the portable hydrogen suction device 1 collapses. As the inclination sensor 36, a mechanical one using air bubbles or a pendulum, a one using a potentiometer or magnetism, one using MEMS technology, and one using the inclination of an electrolytic solution are used.
　傾斜センサ３６は、ＭＥＭＳ技術を利用したものがポータブル水素吸引装置１への設置が容易、ゴミ、水の侵入に対して有利、小型な点で適している。図５は、ＭＥＭＳ技術を利用した傾斜センサ３６を示す平面図であり、筐体３６－１の中に可動電極３６－３と固定電極３６－２を配置している。 The tilt sensor 36 using the MEMS technology is suitable because it is easy to install in the portable hydrogen suction device 1, is advantageous against the intrusion of dust and water, and is compact. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the tilt sensor 36 using the MEMS technology, and the movable electrode 36-3 and the fixed electrode 36-2 are arranged in the housing 36-1.
　可動電極３６－３は、スプリング３６－４に取り付けられて自由に移動可能となっている。検出は、傾斜センサ３６が水平時の静電容量測定を基準とする。そして、傾斜センサ３６が傾くと、可動電極３６－３の自由端は、固定電極３６－２に対して、その位置が変わり、同時に静電容量も変化する。そして、その静電容量の変化量は、傾斜角度に変換される。 The movable electrode 36-3 is attached to the spring 36-4 so that it can move freely. The detection is based on the capacitance measurement when the tilt sensor 36 is horizontal. Then, when the tilt sensor 36 is tilted, the position of the free end of the movable electrode 36-3 changes with respect to the fixed electrode 36-2, and at the same time, the capacitance also changes. Then, the amount of change in the capacitance is converted into an inclination angle.
　表示基板５は、電源部３の電源ＯＮ／ＯＦＦ状態、運転時間や警告（過電流のアラームなど）状態、上述したような各種測定データ等を表示部４１で表示可能なように、ランプ表示、計器表示、液晶データ表示などを制御する。 The display board 5 displays a lamp so that the display unit 41 can display the power ON / OFF state of the power supply unit 3, the operating time and warning (overcurrent alarm, etc.) state, and various measurement data as described above. Controls instrument display, liquid crystal data display, etc.
　本実施の形態のポータブル水素吸引装置１は、上述したように、非常に簡易な部品で、構成可能である。また、これらの部品は、交換部品の寿命が長いため、修理・交換・点検などの保守を容易に行うことができる。また、ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、水の電気分解により水素ガスを生成するため、純度の高い水素ガスを生成することができる。さらに、装置を起動、起動ボタン４２を押圧すると同時に、水素ガスを生成することができる。 As described above, the portable hydrogen suction device 1 of the present embodiment can be configured with very simple parts. In addition, since these parts have a long life as replacement parts, maintenance such as repair, replacement, and inspection can be easily performed. Further, since the portable hydrogen suction device 1 generates hydrogen gas by electrolysis of water, it is possible to generate high-purity hydrogen gas. Further, the device can be activated and the activation button 42 can be pressed at the same time to generate hydrogen gas.
　また、ポータブル水素吸引装置１の本体側は、液面センサ１１１、電極電流検知センサ１１２、水素圧力センサ１１３、水素量計１１４を備える。液面センサ１１１は、貯蔵された水の水位低下などを検出して水がなくなったときに空焚きを防止する。 Further, the main body side of the portable hydrogen suction device 1 is provided with a liquid level sensor 111, an electrode current detection sensor 112, a hydrogen pressure sensor 113, and a hydrogen meter 114. The liquid level sensor 111 detects a drop in the water level of the stored water and prevents empty heating when the water runs out.
　水素圧力センサ１１３は、水素ガスの圧上昇を検出し、水素ガスが吐出できなくなったときに電源を切る。水素量計１１４は、水素ガスが詰まったら電源を切る。制御基板４は、これらの異常等の検出を監視し、装置保護等のために電源部３の電圧印加を停止させて、水素ガス生成を自動停止させる。これにより、ポータブル水素吸引装置１は、安全性に優れた装置となる。 The hydrogen pressure sensor 113 detects the pressure rise of the hydrogen gas and turns off the power when the hydrogen gas cannot be discharged. The hydrogen meter 114 turns off the power when the hydrogen gas is clogged. The control board 4 monitors the detection of these abnormalities and the like, stops the voltage application of the power supply unit 3 for device protection and the like, and automatically stops the hydrogen gas generation. As a result, the portable hydrogen suction device 1 becomes a device having excellent safety.

A hydrogen discharge unit 31 is provided above the hydrogen accommodating portion 25 in the compartment on the hydrogen pole 22 side, and an oxygen discharge portion 33 is provided above the water accommodating portion 26 in the compartment on the oxygen electrode 23 side.

Further, it is more desirable to describe the barcode 38 as a one-dimensional code with an ink that emits light with ultraviolet rays in a part thereof and an ink that emits light with infrared rays at least a part of the remaining portion. As a result, when discriminating, the bar code 38 must be irradiated with both ultraviolet rays and infrared rays so that the entire bar code cannot be known, thereby improving the protection and reliability.

As the phosphorescent pigment, strontium aluminate (green emission / blue / green emission), strontium silicate / magnesium silicate (blue emission) and the like are preferable.

In particular, a metal oxide having a crystal structure called yttrium (Y) aluminum (Al) gallium (Ga) garnet to which a small amount of cerium (Ce 3+ ), chromium (Cr 3+ ), and erbium (Er 3+) is added is desirable. This metal oxide has a low light scattering loss and enables a long afterglow.
　バーコード３８を酸素極２３、水素極２２の空隙間に発光物質として担持させる場合は、発光物質が複数の空隙の一部にあるだけでも良く、接着剤等により空隙中に固定されていても良い。接着剤を用いる場合、接着剤は、例えば、フェノール樹脂系接着剤、エポキシ樹脂系接着剤などにより、酸素極２３、水素極２２の表面に固定することができる。 When the barcode 38 is supported as a luminescent substance between the gaps between the oxygen pole 23 and the hydrogen pole 22, the luminescent substance may be only part of a plurality of voids, or may be fixed in the voids with an adhesive or the like. good.
