Detailed Description

The solar oxyhydrogen generation device of the present invention is explained in detail by the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, the preferred embodiment of the solar oxyhydrogen generation apparatus of the present invention comprises an oxyhydrogen machine 2 and a solar power generator 3.

The oxyhydrogen machine 2 comprises an electrolytic tank 21 for containing electrolyte 20, a plurality of electrode plates 22 which are connected with each other and arranged in the electrolytic tank 21 at intervals, an air outlet 23 which is positioned above the electrolytic tank 21 and communicated with the electrolytic tank 21, and a gas storage bottle 24 which is connected with the air outlet 23, wherein the gas storage bottle 24 is used for storing electrolyzed hydrogen and oxygen.

In the preferred embodiment, the oxyhydrogen machine 2 is formed by connecting a plurality of electrode plates 22 to each other and connecting positive and negative electricity at both ends to electrolyze the electrolyte 20 such as water, but it is also possible to use rod-shaped electrode rods to electrolyze water molecules, and is not limited to the shape. In addition, other auxiliary components, such as a water-closing type safety device, a ball valve type safety device, a pressure regulator, a gas dryer, or a radiator for cooling the electrolytic tank 21 (as shown in fig. 1), can be fully or partially assembled on the oxyhydrogen machine 2 to enhance the function and safety of the oxyhydrogen machine, and should not limit the scope of the claims of the present invention.

The solar generator 3 is electrically connected to the oxyhydrogenmachine 2 and can convert solar energy into electrical energy to output current to the electrode plates 22 of the oxyhydrogen machine 2, so that each electrode plate 22 can electrolyze the electrolyte 20 to generate hydrogen and oxygen. The solar power generator 3 includes a solar energy collecting unit 31, an electric storage unit 32, and a controller 33. The solar energy collecting unit 31 absorbs sunlight to convert the sunlight into electric energy, and the electric energy is transmitted to the electric power storage unit 32 for storage under the control of the controller 33, and two wires are respectively connected to the electrode plates 22 at two sides of the oxyhydrogen machine 2, so that electric current can be input to the oxyhydrogen machine 2.

In the preferred embodiment, the solar energy collecting unit 31 comprises a plurality of solar panels capable of converting light energy into electric energy, each solar panel can be made of semiconductor material, and certainly, after the future technological progress, new materials are produced to convert light energy into electric energy, which also belongs to the scope of the present invention. The solar panel can improve the potential energy of outer electrons of atoms in the semiconductor by the energy of sunlight, and the electrons are dissociated from the atoms. The dissociated electrons have negative charges, and the atoms after the electrons are dissociated form holes (positive charges), so that a voltage difference is formed between the electrons and the holes. The heat generating device of the present invention can be used for generating heat by collecting light through a heat box or a reflector, and can be used for generating electricity by using steam.

The electric storage unit 32 can be composed of a plurality of electric storage batteries, and when sunlight irradiates, the electric storage unit 32 can store the electric power generated by the solar energy collecting unit 31 forthe oxyhydrogen machine 2 to use. The controller 33 is used to control the flow of the electric current, store the electric power generated by the solar energy collecting unit 31 in the electric power storage unit 32, and control the electric power storage unit 32 to output the electric power to the oxyhydrogen machine 2 when the electric power is stored to a certain extent. Of course, the electric power generated by the solar energy collecting unit 31 can be controlled to be directly transmitted to the oxyhydrogen machine 2.

In actual use, the solar power generator 3 is not always capable of generating and storing electric power by sunlight, and therefore, the oxyhydrogen machine 2 itself is also electrically connected to commercial electric power. When sunlight irradiates, the solar generator 3 continuously generates and stores electric power, and the oxyhydrogen machine 2 can directly quote the electric power generated by the solar energy collecting unit 31 of the solar generator 3 or quote the electric power stored in the electric power storage unit 32, at the moment, the hydrogen and oxygen generated by the oxyhydrogen machine 2 can store the gas storage bottle 24.

When no sunlight is irradiated, the oxyhydrogen machine 2 can use the oxyhydrogen gas stored in the gas cylinder 24 before, when the gas in the gas cylinder 24 is insufficient, the power pre-stored in the storage unit 32 is reused to continuously supply the oxyhydrogen machine 2 to continuously generate the oxyhydrogen gas, and the commercial power is not needed to be supplied until the power in the storage unit 32 is insufficient, so that the time for using the commercial power is shortened, and the energy is saved. In addition, since commercial power is supplied as alternating current power and the oxyhydrogen machine 2 requires direct current with positive and negative electricity, it is necessary to convert the alternating current power into direct current power through a rectifier 4 in operation.

The oxyhydrogen gas generated by the oxyhydrogen machine 2 can be used by a plurality of subsequent devices, such as a flame generator for welding with high-temperature molten metal welding rods, a device for cutting steel with high-temperature flame, a boiler 5 (see fig. 3) for supplying heat with flame, a burner 6 (see fig. 4) for generating high-temperature flame with oxyhydrogen gas, and a water heater 7 (see fig. 5) for supplying heat with flame.
