Description

  The present invention relates to a tool for producing hydrogen water by simple means. More specifically, the present invention relates to a so-called hydrogen gas in which hydrogen gas is saturated simply by inserting an electrode part into a container such as a cup containing water and stirring. The present invention relates to a stirrer for producing hydrogen water that can produce water and drink it on the spot.

In order to neutralize active oxygen in the body to treat diseases, improve health, improve the constitution, etc., a method of taking hydrogen into the body is effective. Therefore, so-called hydrogen water in which hydrogen is dissolved in drinking water in order to take this hydrogen into the body has recently attracted attention. In addition, for example, an electrolysis device for dissolving hydrogen in tap water has been released. Looking at this in patent applications, there are the following.
JP, 2002-361250, A This invention relates to active hydrogen content water, and active hydrogen content water useful for a human body in order to utilize effectively the characteristic as functional water confirmed by active hydrogen content water on an industrial scale. In order to produce the product efficiently industrially, water containing active hydrogen is generated on the cathode side by electrolyzing the water, and an organic acid is added thereto to neutralize it, whereby the redox potential is 60 to 150 mV. This is a method for producing active hydrogen-containing water having a pH near neutral. JP, 2003-170178, A In this invention, in order to obtain dissolved hydrogen content water which can be produced cheaply and efficiently in large quantities, dissolved hydrogen content water produced while stirring and / or circulating water in a container is 1 liter. By containing at least 35 μg or more of dissolved hydrogen therein, the redox potential is lowered to 200 mV or less. The present invention is an apparatus for producing a hydrogen-dissolved water having a required concentration with a simple configuration, and is provided with a water spray nozzle 12 on a gas-liquid contact layer 13 containing a filler 13a. Dissolution tank 1 for supplying ultrapure water to be stored in the retention part 11, circulation system 2 for circulating the water in the tank and supplying the produced hydrogen-containing water, and hydrogen provided in the system The ejector 3 is mixed and supplied, and the supply system 4 supplies ultrapure water as raw material water.

Each of the known examples described above is a method in which an electrode is placed in an electrolysis tank to generate hydrogen to obtain hydrogen water, so that the apparatus becomes complicated, and further, the Can not be taken immediately.
However, if hydrogen water can be produced simply by mixing drinking water in a glass cup and stirring it, the hydrogen can be easily put into the body at any place, such as at home as well as at travel destinations. Not only can it take in and enjoy its effects, but saturated hydrogen will decrease over time, so you can effectively take hydrogen into your body by drinking hydrogen water immediately after production. .
The present invention is provided in view of such points, and the object thereof is not to require, for example, an electrolytic cell as an apparatus, and hydrogen water can be easily obtained and carried anywhere. An object of the present invention is to provide a stirring device for producing hydrogen water that can be immediately taken after making the hydrogen water.

In order to achieve the above object, in the invention described in claim 1, in the stirring device for producing hydrogen water, the separator 6 formed of a mesh, a honeycomb or a circular hole shape and formed in a corrugated shape by an insulating material is formed as an intermediate layer. A three-layer structure is formed by disposing the anode 4 made of a mesh, honeycomb or circular hole on one side of the separator 6 and the cathode 5 made of a mesh, honeycomb or circular hole on the other surface. The periphery of the anode 4, the separator 6, and the cathode 5 was integrated by in-molding with a plastic frame 1 a to form an electrode portion 1 having a three-layer structure as a whole. The frame 1 a has a handle portion 2. The anode 4 is connected to the anode conductor 7, and the cathode 5 is connected to the cathode conductor 8.

The effects of the present invention are as follows.
According to the invention of claim 1, since no ion exchange membrane or semipermeable membrane is used, the generated hydrogen gas becomes a micro-microballoon of several microns, and the nitrogen gas in the drinking water is reduced in cooperation with the oxygen gas generated at the same time. be able to. For example, according to an experiment, nitrogen gas dissolved in 10 to 15 ml in 1000 ml was reduced to 6 to 8 ml.
Moreover, since it does not have an electrolytic cell, it can be carried and used everywhere to produce and drink hydrogen water.
Usually, it is said that the limit of hydrogen gas dissolved in drinking water is 6 to 7 ml, and the amount of hydrogen gas dissolved in pure water that has been completely degassed is 18 ml at 20 ° C.

In the present invention, by applying a voltage of 12V DC and a current of 0.5A to a glass cup containing about 120 ml of drinking water, the electrode dimensions are 20 mm wide x 40 mm long, the generated hydrogen gas is reduced every minute.
3.3-3.4ml. Therefore, by moving the electrode part in the glass cup and stirring the water, the efficiently generated hydrogen gas is dissolved in the drinking water, and the hydrogen gas is saturated in about 3 minutes.
Since the hydrogen gas that cannot be dissolved remains in the form of fine bubbles, it does not wait for a long time, and it is convenient because about 2 to 3 times as much hydrogen enters the body by drinking as it is. The fine bubbles include hydrogen gas microballoons, and 180 ml of drinking water contains 5 to 8 ml of hydrogen gas. It is important to drink electrolyzed drinking water in a short time (within a few seconds) when microballoons are present. When stored in bottles, hydrogen rapidly decreases over time, and approximately 1 / Decrease by 10 or more. For this reason, the hydrogen water producing stirrer of the present invention capable of producing hydrogen water immediately before drinking is extremely effective in taking hydrogen into the body.

In addition, since the trace amount hydrogen gas liberated in the drinking hydrogen water is absorbed by the gas exchange in the biological membrane even if it enters the human body, it contributes to the neutralization of active oxygen together with the hydrogen water.
When electrolysis was performed without stirring, the bubbles of hydrogen gas became large, the dissolution rate in drinking water became extremely slow, and it was confirmed that a difference of a dozen times was obtained according to the measurement. Electrolysis reduces the number of drinking water clusters to about 6 or less, and even when compared to about 13 tap water, the molecular tract of water becomes smaller and activated. Therefore, it is important to stir well in the production of hydrogen water. By the way, 6 clusters are the same numerical value as Iwashimizu, which is said to be famous water.

In addition, a plastic smesh- shaped separator is also sandwiched between a mesh-like anode and a cathode, formed into three layers, and the periphery between the edges is molded into a frame with plastics, so that the gap between the electrodes can be narrowed to the limit. it can. As a result, the resistance value for electrolysis decreases, and electrolysis can be performed at a relatively low voltage even in drinking water having poor ionic conductivity.
In addition, since the plastic around the edge reinforces the electrode, the electrode is not deformed or broken by a normal stirring operation.
In addition, the gas adhering to the inside of the electrode can be removed by swinging and rotating the electrode, and the efficiency of electrolysis can be maintained.
When drinking water is electrolyzed over a long period of time, silica compounds, iron, calcium compounds, magnesium compounds, etc. adhere to the electrodes and obstruct the flow of electricity. It is also easy to wash the soil, and if it is immersed in edible vinegar or citric acid solution and washed with water, it can be easily dissolved and washed, and can be regenerated.

Moreover, since it is only necessary to manually insert the electrode part into the water and stir it, hydrogen water can be easily produced, which is convenient.
It is also convenient when making hydrogen water with a large amount of drinking water. When the electrode of the embodiment according to the present invention is used and 2000 ml of drinking water is treated, the object can be sufficiently achieved if the electrolytic voltage is about double DC24V. Of course, the effect of stirring is the same as that performed manually.

It is not easy to dissolve hydrogen gas in water, and under conditions where pure water does not contain any nitrogen or oxygen, about 18 ml of hydrogen gas dissolves in 1000 ml of water at a temperature of 20 ° C, but the dissolved hydrogen is unstable. It decreases rapidly in a short time. Drinking water such as tap water already contains nitrogen and oxygen in a saturated state, so even if only hydrogen gas is blown, only about 6 to 7 ml is dissolved.
It is not easy to vent these saturated gases from drinking water. For example, it can be removed by a method using a vacuum state or a gas permeable semipermeable membrane, or by boiling, but the apparatus is expensive and large, which is not practical.

The electrolysis method is ideal and safe because it does not use high-pressure gas and the minimum hydrogen gas can be controlled freely. However, the lifetime of the ion exchange membrane and the hydroxides and oxides attached to the electrodes Must be solved about the removal of.
The drinking water immediately after electrolysis has many bubbles of fine hydrogen gas, and the apparent hydrogen content is about 20-30 ml in 1000 ml of water, but dissolved in drinking water. Is difficult to preserve, and bubbles of hydrogen gas dispersed in a fine particle state rapidly escape in seconds.
The amount of dissolved hydrogen gas can be approximately calculated from the value of an oxidation-reduction potentiometer (ORP). For example, when hydrogen gas is completely dissolved in 1000 to 30 ml of drinking water, the reduction potential shows −600 mV, In the situation where fine bubble hydrogen gas is present, -800 to 900 mV is indicated.
In addition, when 160 ml of hydrogen water in a cup made of hydrogen gas with large bubbles is electrolyzed at a low voltage, if the hydrogen gas supply is turned off and left to stand, the reduction potential is -600 mV after 30 seconds, and- After 400 mV, it drops to -350 mV after 3 minutes.
The hydrogen gas dissolved in 1000 ml of drinking water at -350 mV is about 5 ml.
Fig. 6 shows the amount of hydrogen gas and ORP potential dissolved in 1000 ml of drinking water (Otsuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture). Fig. 7 shows an example of increase in energization time and ORP potential (however, in the case of 160 ml tap water). FIG. 8
Shows an example of the time after energization is stopped and the ORP potential drop (however, 1000 ml of hydrogen water).

Therefore, in the present invention, the ion exchange membrane and the semipermeable membrane disposed between the electrodes to be electrolyzed are eliminated, and the structure is simplified.
In the present invention, the hydrogen gas is uniformly dispersed in the drinking water because it is electrolyzed while being stirred in a container such as a glass cup containing drinking water and opened. Moreover, since the electrode can be pulled up and immediately drinkable, hydrogen water containing a large amount of fine particle bubbles can be drunk.
The terminal of the stirrer for producing hydrogen water has a terminal for energization, and a DC power source can be obtained from the AC adapter.
If an electrolyte such as an ion exchange membrane is not used, the ionic conductivity of drinking water is low and electrolysis does not occur easily at normal voltage (about 2.7V), so high voltage DC12 ~ 48V is applied, so hydrogen gas and oxygen gas These bubbles become very fine (bubbles of several to tens of microns) microballoons. As a result, the hydrogen gas into the drinking water is efficiently dissolved.
There is no problem even if the oxygen gas generated at the same time is dissolved in drinking water as it is.

In addition, the present invention provides a porous insulating plate in which hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and drinking water can freely move between the electrodes. Prepare a sandwiched sheet and mold the periphery with plastics such as polypropylene or polyethylene to fix it to the frame. At this time, it is convenient to mold a stirring rod (grip) of, for example, a stainless steel pipe integrated with the current-carrying terminal at the same time.

  Further, in the present invention, a stirring tool for producing hydrogen water may be fixed to a mounting base, and the electrode unit may be automatically rotated using a small motor. At this time, if a small stirrer is attached in the vicinity, the production efficiency is good when producing a large amount of hydrogen water. The effect of the stirring operation is the same not only in rotation but also in reciprocation or rowing.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

Started, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are generated in a volume ratio of 2: 1. In this process, when the handle portion 2 is appropriately turned and the water in the cup 12 is stirred, the hydrogen gas is generated as fine bubbles and is uniformly diffused into the drinking water 13 in the cup 12 and is easily absorbed. .
Drinking water is already saturated with oxygen gas, nitrogen gas, etc. in the air, and the oxygen gas generated at the same time is somewhat dissolved, but most is released into the atmosphere.
