Abstract

The present invention provides a gas generator, comprising a water tank and an electrolysis device. The water tank has a first hollow portion for containing electrolyzed water. The electrolysis device is disposed inside the first hollow portion of the water tank for electrolyzing the electrolyzed water to generate a hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas. When the electrolysis device starts to electrolyze the electrolyzed water, the first hollow portion of the water tank is filled with the electrolyzed water for standing at a full level of water. And after the electrolysis device electrolyzed the electrolyzed water, the level of water for the electrolyzed water filled into the first hollow portion of the water tank is higher than 95% of the full level of water. The gas generator of the present invention provides the design for saving space and nearly a zero gas chamber to reduce the possibility of explosions resulting from hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas.

Claims

1. A gas generator comprising:

a water tank having a first hollow portion for containing electrolyzed water;

an electrolysis device having an electrolysis housing, the electrolysis housing disposed inside the first hollow portion of the water tank, the electrolysis device electrolyzing the electrolyzed water to generate a gas comprising hydrogen;

a condense filter configured to filter impurities of the gas comprising hydrogen to form a filtered gas comprising hydrogen; and

a humidification device comprising a container with a hollow space, a second pipe, and an outputting pipe, wherein the hollow space is configured to contain a supplemental water, the second pipe is coupled to the container for receiving the filtered gas comprising hydrogen, the outputting pipe is coupled to the second pipe, the surface of the outputting pipe has a plurality of vias for outputting the filtered gas comprising hydrogen into the container;

wherein the humidification device further comprising an outputting structure coupled to the container configured to output the filtered gas comprising hydrogen and a hydrogen water which comprises the supplemental water and the filtered gas comprising hydrogen.

2. The gas generator of claim 1, wherein the condense filter has a gas inlet via and a gas outlet via, the gas inlet via is coupled to the electrolysis device for receiving the gas comprising hydrogen, and the gas outlet via is configured to output the filtered gas comprising hydrogen;

wherein, the gas outlet via of the condense filter is configured to receive the supplemental water to flush the impurities back to the electrolysis device through the gas inlet via.

3. The gas generator of claim 1, wherein the outputting structure is configured to input the supplemental water to the container.

4. The gas generator of claim 3, further comprising a light emitting device, disposed on the container to emit light.

5. The gas generator of claim 4, further comprising a nebulized gas mixing tank to mix a nebulized medicine generated by the nebulized gas mixing tank with the filtered gas comprising hydrogen.
