Description

Respirator and air supply method for respirator

The present invention relates to a respirator and an air supply method thereof, and in particular to a respirator capable of supplying hydrogen and an air supply method thereof.

Because the human body is often affected by foreign substances or abnormal metabolism occurs, the human body often produces bad free radicals (peracids or peroxidized substances), and bad free radicals often cause inflammation, soreness, aging, cancer or cardiovascular disease. Hydrogen has strong reducing power, so it can reduce the damage of bad free radicals to cells, increase immunity and reduce the chance of chronic diseases, so as to improve health.

Therefore, the prior art proposes a respirator that can generate hydrogen and allow the user to absorb hydrogen when breathing. In other words, this hydrogen respirator provides a pipeline for the user to inhale hydrogen through the respiratory system. In order to provide a gas suitable for human absorption, hydrogen respirators often produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water. Since electrolysis is a continuous process, hydrogen is also continuously produced without interruption. However, the human body's breathing action has a certain rhythm, and there will be a pause and exhalation between two inhalations. If the hydrogen respirator continues to supply hydrogen when the user exhales or pauses, the hydrogen will not be absorbed by the human body, resulting in waste.

In view of this, proposing a better improvement plan is an urgent problem to be solved in this industry.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a respirator and an air supply method for the respirator, which can supply air in accordance with the breathing rhythm of the user.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the respirator proposed in this invention has: an electrolytic cell having an air outlet; a valve connected to the air outlet of the electrolytic cell; an air inlet connected to the valve; and a pressure sensor connected to the air inlet.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the air supply method proposed in this invention comprises the following steps: When the air pressure of an air inlet is lower than a first standard value, supplying gas to the air inlet; and When the air pressure of the air inlet is higher than a second standard value, stopping supplying gas to the air inlet.

Therefore, the advantage of this invention is that when the user pauses between breaths or exhales, the gas generated by the respirator can be stored in the gas storage tank and released all at once when the user inhales. Therefore, all the generated gas can be supplied to the user for inhalation and absorption at the appropriate time, which not only improves the absorption efficiency and the total amount absorbed, but also avoids the waste of generated hydrogen, and indirectly saves the use of consumables.

The respirator of the air supply method of the respirator as described above further includes a three-way valve, which connects the valve, the air inlet, and the pressure sensor.

The respirator of the air supply method of the respirator as described above further includes an air storage chamber connected between the valve and the electrolytic cell.

In the respirator of the air supply method of the respirator as described above, the air storage chamber is elastic.

In the respirator of the air supply method of the respirator as described above, the air storage chamber is an air balloon.

The air supply method of the respirator as described above further includes: Using an electrolytic cell to electrolyze water to continuously generate gas and supply the gas to the air inlet, and a valve is connected between the electrolytic cell and the air inlet; wherein, when the air pressure of the air inlet is lower than the first standard value, the valve is opened to allow the electrolytic cell to supply gas to the air inlet; and when the air pressure of the air inlet is higher than the second standard value, the valve is closed to allow the electrolytic cell to stop supplying gas to the air inlet.

In the air supply method of the respirator as described above, when the air pressure at the air inlet is higher than the second standard value, the valve is closed, and the electrolytic cell supplies gas to a gas storage tank; when the valve is opened, the gas in the gas storage tank is supplied to the air inlet.

Please refer to FIG1 . The present invention provides a respirator, which includes an electrolytic cell 10 , a valve 20 , an air inlet 30 , and a pressure sensor 40 , and optionally has a three-way valve 50 and an air storage chamber 60 .

The electrolytic cell 10 has an outlet 11. The electrolytic cell 10 can be connected to a pure water source and supplied with water by the pure water source. The electrolytic cell 10 generates hydrogen and oxygen after electrolyzing pure water. The hydrogen flows to the outlet 11, and the oxygen can be discharged to the environment.

The valve 20 is connected to the gas outlet 11 of the electrolytic cell 10, and the air inlet 30 is connected to the valve 20. At the same time, the pressure sensor 40 is connected to the air inlet 30, thereby controlling the valve 20 to be opened or closed by sensing the pressure of the air inlet 30. In this embodiment, the three-way valve 50 is connected to the valve 20, the air inlet 30, and the pressure sensor 40, thereby the pressure sensor 40 can measure the pressure of the air inlet 30.

The gas storage chamber 60 is connected between the valve 20 and the electrolytic cell 10. Preferably, the gas storage chamber 60 is elastic, so that the volume can be increased when the internal gas increases, so as to avoid excessive pressure in the gas storage chamber 60. In this embodiment, the gas storage chamber 60 is a balloon.

In addition, the invention may also have a gas-water separation device 70 connected between the valve 20 and the electrolytic cell 10. Specifically, the gas-water separation device 70 is connected between the gas storage chamber 60 and the electrolytic cell 10. The gas-water separation device 70 is used to remove excess water from the gas supplied by the electrolytic cell 10.

Through the above structure, the invention also proposes a method for supplying air to the respirator. First, the electrolytic cell 10 electrolyzes water to continuously generate gas and supply the gas to the air inlet 30. In this embodiment, the hydrogen generated by the electrolytic cell 10 is supplied to the air inlet 30, but it is not limited to this. At the same time, when the pressure sensor 40 detects that the air pressure of the air inlet 30 is lower than a first standard value, the valve 20 is opened to connect the electrolytic cell 10 and the air inlet 30, so that the gas generated by the electrolytic cell 10 can be supplied to the air inlet 30. When the pressure sensor 40 detects that the air pressure of the air inlet 30 is higher than a second standard value, the valve 20 is closed, so that the electrolytic cell 10 and the air inlet 30 are disconnected, and the electrolytic cell 10 stops supplying gas to the air inlet 30.

Since the electrolytic cell 10 continuously electrolyzes water and generates gas, and the gas is still continuously generated when the valve 20 is closed. In order to make the electrolysis reaction proceed smoothly, the gas generated when the valve 20 is closed is stored in the gas storage tank. Specifically, in this embodiment, the gas storage tank is elastic, or a balloon, so when the gas generated when the valve 20 is closed enters the gas storage tank, the gas storage tank will expand, but the increase in gas pressure is relatively small. When the air pressure of the air inlet 30 drops and causes the valve 20 to open, the air inlet 30 is connected to the electrolytic cell 10 and the gas storage tank at the same time, and the pressure of the gas storage tank is higher, so the gas stored in the gas storage tank can be released to the air inlet 30 at one time for the user to absorb.

In summary, the respirator and gas supply method of this invention can match the breathing rhythm of the user. When the user pauses or exhales between breaths, the gas generated by the respirator can be stored in the gas storage tank and released all at once when the user inhales. Therefore, all the generated gas can be supplied to the user for inhalation and absorption at the appropriate time, which can not only improve the absorption efficiency and the total amount absorbed, but also avoid the waste of the generated hydrogen, and indirectly save the use of consumables.
