A detailed description of the hereinafter described embodiments of the disclosed apparatus and method are presented herein by way of exemplification and not limitation with reference to the Figures. Although certain embodiments are shown and described in detail, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. The scope of the present invention will in no way be limited to the number of constituting components, the materials thereof, the shapes thereof, the relative arrangement thereof, etc., and are disclosed simply as an example of embodiments of the present invention.
Studies have found that there is an instable oxygen species (O+), also known as free radicals, in the human body. The free radicals are usually generated due to diseases, diet, environment and one's life style, and the free radicals in the human body can be excreted in the form of water by reacting with the inhaled hydrogen. With this method, the amount of free radicals in the human body can be reduced, thereby restoring the body condition from an acidic state to an alkaline state, achieving an anti-oxidation, anti-aging and beauty health effect, and even eliminating chronic diseases. Furthermore, there are clinical experiments showing that, for patients who need to inhale a high concentration of oxygen for a long time, the lung damage from the high concentration of oxygen can be ameliorated by inhaling hydrogen. According to the statement mentioned above, gas including hydrogen can be believed in a health gas, which can be generated by electrolyzing water.

The water bucket 222 for containing pure water 224 (also can contain electrolyzed water) is used to fill up the electrolysis tank 210. A gas entrance 226 is configured in the water bucket 222, coupled to the first gas exit 218 of the electrolysis tank 210 through a pipe. The gas entrance 226 can direct the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 generated from the electrolysis tank 210 into the pure water 224 in the water bucket 222. Only a little gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 dissolves in the pure water 224. Most gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 will emerge from the pure water 224 to the top of the water bucket 222. During the process of the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 emerging from the pure water 224, most heat energy will be absorbed by the pure water 224 for cooling the temperature of the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 due to the high specific heat of the pure water 224, which allows the temperature of the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 to be closer to the temperature of the pure water 224, such as room temperature (25° C.). Therefore, the probability of hydrogen explosion caused by the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 can be decreased, which enhances the security of the system. In an embodiment, the gas entrance 226 is configured on the outer surface of the bottom half of the water bucket 222 as shown in
The gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 which is cooled and filtered by the pure water 224 will be stored on the top of the bucket 222 and then output through the second gas exit 230 on the top for a user to breathe directly or for performing the follow-up atomized gas mixing process, which will be explained later. At the time, the output rate of the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 can be within 0.1 L/min to 2 L/min. A pressure sensor 236 can be selectively configured on the top of the water bucket 222. A depressurize device 232, such as a depressurize valve, can be configured on the top of the water bucket 222. When the pressure of the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 stored on the top of the water bucket 222 is high over a predetermined pressure, the water bucket 222 can be depressurized through the depressurize device 232. Therefore, hydrogen explosion can be prevented. That is to say, the water bucket 222 can be selectively depressurized by the depressurize device. For example, when the second gas exit 230 cannot output normally, such as blockage, the volume of hydrogen and oxygen in the first water bucket 222 will increase and then the pressure will increase as well because the electrolysis tank 210 is continuously generating the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216. The water bucket 222 can be depressurized through the depressurize device 232, which can prevent hydrogen explosion. In an embodiment, when the pressure is one Pascal, the depressurize process is set to be performed. The water bucket 222 further comprises a water level sensor 234, used to sense the water level of the pure water in the water bucket 222. The working method will be explained later.
If the water level sensor 234 senses the water level of the pure water 224 in the water bucket 222 is lower than a preset value, such as low water level 240, the water bucket 222 can be filled up through water filling entrance 244. The water level sensor 234 had better be connected to an alarm device, such as display device 108 shown in
When the electrolysis tank is electrolyzing water, the electrolysis tank can not only generate gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen through electrical energy but also raise the temperature of the electrolysis tank through the generated heat probably; after the cooling process for cooling the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen 216 by the pure water 224, the temperature of the water bucket 222 may be caused to raise; during the process of the power supply 260 supplying power to the electrolysis tank, the temperature of the power supply 260 may be caused to raise. For enhancing the security of the gas generator, a first temperature sensor 246 can be configured in the electrolysis tank 210, and/or a second temperature sensor 238 can be configured in the water bucket 222, and/or a third temperature sensor 262 (for example, on the circuit board) can be configured in the power supply 260, which is used to sense the temperature of the electrolysis tank 210, water bucket 222, and power supply 260. When the first temperature sensor 246, the second temperature sensor 238, and the third temperature sensor 262 sense the temperatures which are higher than each preset value, the alarm message can be displayed or the alarm sounds can be made through the alarm device mentioned above, such as display device 108. Additionally, the first temperature sensor 246, the second temperature sensor 238, and the third temperature sensor 262 had better electrically connected to the power supply 260. When the first temperature sensor 246, the second temperature sensor 238, and the third temperature sensor 262 sense the temperatures which are higher than each preset value, it means the system is abnormal, each of the first temperature sensor 246, the second temperature sensor 238, and the third temperature sensor 262 can cut off the power supply 260 and stop generating the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen for enhancing the security of the system. That is to say, the first temperature sensor 246, the second temperature sensor 238, and the third temperature sensor 262 can selectively cut off the power supply 260 and stop generating the gas mixture including hydrogen and oxygen.
For maintaining and cleaning conveniently, a first outlet 248 is configured in the electrolysis tank 210 and a second outlet 250 is configured in the water bucket 222. A first drain valve 254 can control the first outlet 248 to be open or close and a second drain valve 256 can control the second outlet 250 to be open or close. The first drain valve 254 and the second drain valve 256 can drain water for user to maintain or fix the electrolysis tank.
