Description

Hydrogen gas inhaler

The present invention relates to a hydrogen gas inhaler, and more specifically, to a hydrogen gas inhaler that generates hydrogen gas by electrolyzing water so as to remove active oxygen in the human body, and connects a connecting hose to the generated hydrogen gas so as to allow the user to breathe the hydrogen gas.

In general, hydrogen has been shown to be effective in animal diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases and acute lung injury, as well as in clinical trials for metabolic syndrome and diabetes, and various studies are being conducted to actively use it in medical applications.

Hydrogen only removes harmful active oxygen (hydroxyl radicals) from the body that cause various diseases such as accelerated aging, arteriosclerosis, and cancer, and therefore does not have a negative effect on the body's tissues or cells. Therefore, there are various ways to introduce hydrogen into the body, such as intravenous administration, oral administration of aqueous solutions, and gas inhalation.

In particular, it is recommended to inhale hydrogen gas to prevent various stages of aging and for beauty and health promotion when under high stress such as during exercise, eating, smoking, exposure to ultraviolet rays, staying in a polluted environment, lack of sleep, or working long hours, when active oxygen is easily generated in the body.

Conventionally, there are generally two methods for generating hydrogen. As the first method, a table-top type hydrogen generating device is used, which can generate hydrogen gas by putting water in an electrolytic cell in which an ion exchange membrane, a pair of electrode plates that are in close contact with each other on both sides of the ion exchange membrane, and an electrolytic plate having a fixing member that closes the pair of electrode plates to each side of the ion exchange membrane are placed, and electricity is passed through the electrolytic plate. Since this hydrogen generating device can be moved and used at will by the user, the convenience of use is improved compared to hydrogen generating devices that can only be used as a stationary type.

And the "Hydrogen generator equipped with a hydrogen inhaler" of the prior patent document, Patent Publication No. 10-1785894 (published on October 13, 2017), discloses a hydrogen generator equipped with a hydrogen inhaler. According to the disclosure in the above prior patent document, hydrogen is generated by electrolysis of water in an electrolysis unit, and hydrogen water is generated by dissolving hydrogen ions in water through a casing, first and second caps, and a hydrogen inhalation unit, and the discharged hydrogen is configured so that a user can inhale it.

And since the integrity of the electrolytic unit is damaged when the electrolytic unit is operated in the absence of moisture, the electrolytic unit must always be exposed to moisture in order to maintain the integrity of the electrolytic unit. However, since the conductive film arranged between the first and second electrodes of the electrolytic unit does not allow the movement of water, one of the two electrodes is easily exposed to moisture, while the other is difficult to expose to moisture.

In this case, the integrity of the electrode that is not exposed to moisture is damaged, causing it to lose its hydrogen generation ability.
