Abstract

The present invention provides a gas generator and comprises an electrolytic cell and a water-blocking device. The electrolytic cell is used for electrolyzing electrolyzed water to generate a gas with hydrogen. The electrolytic cell has an outlet for outputting the gas with hydrogen. The water-blocking device is set on the outlet for preventing the electrolyzed water from flowing out when the electrolytic cell is tilted by a tilt angle. The gas pathway of the invention will be closed by the water-blocking device when the gas generator is toppled, thereby preventing the electrolyte-rich electrolyzed water from flowing out.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A gas generator, comprising:
an electrolytic cell, containing an electrolyzed water including an electrolyte, wherein the electrolytic cell is used for electrolyzing the electrolyzed water to generate a gas with hydrogen, and the electrolytic cell has an outlet for outputting the gas with hydrogen; and
a water-blocking device, configured on the outlet, wherein the water-blocking device is used for preventing the electrolyzed water from flowing out of the electrolytic cell when the electrolytic cell is tilted by a tilt angle.

2. The gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the water-blocking device comprises a bottom and a leakproof part, and the bottom has an inlet for receiving the gas with hydrogen, and the inlet is closed selectively by the leakproof part for preventing the electrolyzed water from flowing out of the electrolytic cell.

3. The gas generator of claim 2 , wherein the bottom has an elastic plug, and the leakproof part has a plug hole, and the elastic plug is coupled with the plug hole to make the inlet to be closed selectively by the leakproof part for preventing the electrolyzed water from flowing out of the electrolytic cell.

4. The gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the tilt angle is over than 90 degrees.

5. The gas generator of claim 1 , further comprising a humidification device connected to the water-blocking device for receiving the gas with hydrogen, and the humidification device further comprises a cooling filter element, wherein the cooling filter element is used for cooling the gas with hydrogen and generating a filtered gas with hydrogen by filtering out impurities from the gas with hydrogen.

6. The gas generator of claim 5 , wherein the humidification device has a shell containing a humidification liquid, and the humidification device further comprises an intake element coupled with the cooling filter element for passing the filtered gas with hydrogen into the humidification liquid.

7. The gas generator of claim 6 , wherein the intake element comprises an inlet screen, and the inlet screen is used for further filtering the filtered gas with hydrogen before the filtered gas with hydrogen being passed into the humidification liquid.

8. The gas generator of claim 7 , wherein the inlet screen is a unidirectional screen, and the unidirectional screen is used to prevent the humidification liquid from flowing into the intake element.

9. The gas generator of claim 6 , further comprising a float contained in the shell, wherein the shell has a water charging channel for charging the humidification liquid, and the water charging channel will be blocked by the float when a level of the humidification liquid in the shell is higher than a predetermined height.

10. The gas generator of claim 9 , wherein the water charging channel has an outward tapering portion, and a minimum inner diameter of the portion is smaller than a maximum outer diameter of the float.

11. The gas generator of claim 9 , wherein the shell has a space for limiting a movement of the float, so that the float is restricted to move longitudinally in the space according to the level of the humidification liquid to block the water charging channel.

12. The gas generator of claim 5 , further comprising an atomizing device connected to the humidification device for receiving the gas with hydrogen, and the atomizing device further generates an atomized gas to be mixed with the gas with hydrogen to generate a healthy gas, wherein the atomized gas is selected from a group comprising a water vapor, an atomizing solution, a volatile essential oil, and any combination thereof.

13. The gas generator of claim 1 , further comprising a float contained in the electrolytic cell, and the electrolytic cell has a water charging channel for charging the electrolyzed water, wherein the water charging channel will be blocked by the float when a level of the electrolyzed water in the electrolytic cell is higher than a predetermined height.

14. The gas generator of claim 13 , wherein the water charging channel is connected to the outlet.
