Accordingly, in case the internal pressure of the water container exceeds a certain level, infiltration of gas containing hydrogen components and/or water molecules into the electrical components involved in hydrogen production, such as the control unit, can be prevented, and the gas is discharged outside so as to substantially improve the safety and durability of the mist spraying device.
In general, hydrogen water mist refers to microdroplets of water wherein there is a large amount of dissolved hydrogen in a gaseous state.
Hydrogen water mist, which has an antioxidant effect in that the dissolved hydrogen eliminates hydroxyl radials, has been reported to help prevent aging, diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cancer, and dementia, promote skin health, weight loss, recovery from fatigue, exercise capacity, the immune system, and hangover relief, and be effective against indigestion and excessive stomach acid secretion.
As a prior art related to a portable hydrogen water mist sprayer that can be used by spraying hydrogen water mist as described above, an ultrasonic hydrogen water mist, as shown in Patent Document 1 (Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1728010, Registered on Apr. 12, 2017), has been launched.
Referring to
At this time, said container part has a body, which has an opening at the top and bottom each, and said spray unit is coupled to one side of the body of said container unit by a hinge shaft at the top of a channel extending vertically.
Also, the hydrogen generating unit has a housing, which has an opening at the top and bottom each, the bottom opening is covered by a finishing plate, and a control module for controlling the operation of said hydrogen generating unit is attached to said finishing plate.
The ultrasonic hydrogen generator, a prior art related to a portable hydrogen water mist sprayer that can be used by spraying hydrogen water mist as described above, had an issue in that water seeped from the water container and into the electronic components for hydrogen production in the hydrogen generating unit due to gravitational force, as the hydrogen generating unit was coupled to the bottom of the container unit for holding water, and this caused failures in said electronic components.
As water penetrated the electrical components involved in hydrogen production inside the hydrogen generating unit, it substantially reduced the durability of the device.
Meanwhile, in order to address the aforementioned issues, a portable hydrogen water mist sprayer wherein the hydrogen generating unit, control, module, etc. are placed above the container unit for holding water began to be used.
A portable hydrogen water mist sprayer with said improvements was able to prevent water seepage from the container unit caused by gravitational force, etc. and failures in the electrical components involved in hydrogen production, but when the internal pressure exceeded a certain level as a result of hydrogen water production in the container unit, the gas containing hydrogen components and water molecules leaked into the electrical components involved in hydrogen production.
Moreover, when the internal pressure exceeded a certain level as a result of hydrogen water production in the container unit and the gas containing hydrogen components and water molecules leaked into the electrical components involved in hydrogen production, it substantially reduced the durability of the device.
In addition, when the internal pressure exceeded a certain level as a result of hydrogen water production in the container unit, it posed risk of explosion and thus reduced the safety of the device.
Therefore, there is a need to conduct research and develop a portable hydrogen water mist sprayer wherein penetration of gas containing hydrogen components and water molecules into the electrical components involved in hydrogen production can be prevented, even when the internal pressure of the container exceeds a certain level, through which device safety and durability can be substantially improved.
