(2) FIG. 2 is a partial enlarged view of the device in FIG. 1, showing the gas ejecting assembly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(3) With reference to FIG. 1, a device in accordance with the present invention comprises a power source 10, an oil-free gas compressor 20, a first molecular sieve 30, a second molecular sieve 40, multiple ionized gas generators 50, and a gas ejecting assembly 60. Besides, in this embodiment, the aforementioned components are connected by a sealed pipe to ensure isolation from the air.

(4) The power source 10 has a high voltage terminal 11 and a low voltage terminal 12. In this embodiment, the power source 10 has a power cable 13 adapted to be connected to a power generator, and supply high voltage via the high voltage terminal 11, and supply low voltage via the low voltage terminal 12. But in other embodiments, the power source 10 can also be implemented as a battery for ease of carriage.

(5) The oil-free gas compressor 20 is a piston type compressor in this embodiment, and generates gas with pressure. The oil-free gas compressor 20 is used to supply pressure to the whole system to be an ejection power source of the gas ejecting assembly 60. Besides, the oil-free gas compressor 20 is capable of pre-drying the gas for pre-disinfection of the following process.

(6) The first molecular sieve 30 is connected to the oil-free gas compressor 20, and is capable of filtering out molecules in the gas generated by the oil-free gas compressor 20 except for oxygen, which is to purify oxygen in the gas through chromatography. Specifically, the first molecular sieve 30 can be a 5 A molecular sieve. Generally, a concentration of oxygen in the air is about 23%, while the concentration of oxygen in the gas passed through the first molecular sieve 30 can reach 90% to 93%.

(7) The second molecular sieve 40 is connected between the oil-free gas compressor 20 and the first molecular sieve 30, and is capable of filtering out water molecule in the gas generated by the oil-free gas compressor 20, which means to dry the gas. Specifically, the second molecular sieve 40 can be a 4 A molecular sieve. The gas generated by the oil-free gas compressor 20 is capable of flowing from the second molecular sieve 40 to the first molecular sieve 30. Therefore, the second molecular sieve 40 can dry the gas completely before the gas enters the first molecular sieve 30, for thorough disinfection.

(8) The ionized gas generators 50 are connected to the first molecular sieve 30. Specifically, multiple ionized gas generators 50 are installed in parallel connection and each of the ionized gas generators 50 is individually connected to the first molecular sieve 30, thereby forming a multi-channel application of the ionized gas generators 50, which allows the first molecular sieve 30 to supply chromatographically purified gas to all of the ionized gas generators 50, in order to generate sufficient gas.

(9) Each of the ionized gas generators 50 has an outer metal pipe 51, an inner metal pipe 52, a dielectric insulating ceramic sheet 53, and a gas outlet pipe 54. The outer metal pipe 51 is electrically connected to the low voltage terminal 12 of the power source 10. The inner metal pipe 52 is electrically connected to the high voltage terminal 11 of the power source 10. The dielectric insulating ceramic sheet 53 is mounted between the outer metal pipe 51 and the inner metal pipe 52, and an ionizing space 55 is formed between the outer metal pipe 51 and the dielectric insulating ceramic sheet 53. The gas is ionized in the ionizing space 55. The gas outlet pipe 54 communicates with the ionizing space 55, and the gas generated by the oil-free gas compressor 20 is capable of flowing sequentially to the first molecular sieve 30, the ionizing space 55, and the gas outlet pipe 54.

(10) Specifically, after the gas with an oxygen concentration about 90% to 93% is fed into the ionized gas generator 50, a corona discharge is applied to the gas with a voltage between 5 KW/V to 8 KW/V. During the corona discharge, negative electrons in the voltage dissociate oxygen molecules in the gas into multiple oxygen atoms, and the oxygen atoms will automatically bond to generate allotropes such as oxygen molecules or ozone under normal temperature and normal pressure. Thus, after the aforementioned ionization process, oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules, ozone, nitric oxide molecules, and carbon dioxide are generated, and further by the multi-channel application of the ionized gas generators 50, sufficient oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules, ozone, nitric oxide molecules, and carbon dioxide can be obtained.

(11) With further reference to FIG. 2, the gas ejecting assembly 60 has a connecting pipe 61, a nozzle 62, and a knob 63.

(12) The connecting pipe 61 is connected to the gas outlet pipes 54 of the ionized gas generators 50, which means the gas outlet pipes 54 of the ionized gas generators 50 are converged and are connected to the connecting pipe 61. The connecting pipe 61 is bendable, and specifically, the connecting pipe 61 can be a rubber hose or a metal hose.

(13) The nozzle 62 is mounted on the connecting pipe 61 and has an ejecting opening. The ejecting opening communicates with the connecting pipe 61, and the gas generated by the oil-free gas compressor 20 is capable of flowing from the gas outlet pipes 54 of the ionized gas generators 50 to the connecting pipe 61, and being ejected from the ejecting opening.

(14) By this, a user can hold the nozzle 62 in hand and arbitrarily move the nozzle 62 by the flexibility of the connecting pipe 61 to blow to the wound, so as to be applicable on wounds on any part of the body.

(15) The knob 63 is mounted on the nozzle 62 and is capable of adjusting a diameter of the ejecting opening. Specifically, how the knob 63 adjusts the diameter of the ejecting opening can be the same as how the water-tap adjusts the water flow.

(16) Since the whole system is sealed, after the ejecting opening of the nozzle 62 is opened, the pressure supplied by the oil-free gas compressor 20 becomes a power source for ejecting the ionized gas. Besides, because the ejecting speed of the gas is affected by the diameter of the ejecting opening, the knob 63 is used to adjust the ejecting speed and the ejecting force of the gas ejection to control the ejecting speed and the ejecting force within an appropriate range. Therefore, the ejecting speed and the ejecting force can be controlled to match different situations, which is beneficial to wound healing and skin elasticity recovery.

(17) After sufficient oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules, ozone, nitric oxide molecules, and carbon dioxide are converged at a connecting point of the gas outlet pipes 54 and the connecting pipe 61, those atoms and molecules will naturally react to form nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, and therefore the gas in the gas ejecting assembly 60 comprises the aforementioned atoms and molecules and the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Thus, after the ejecting opening is opened, the aforementioned atoms and molecules and the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are ejected by the pressure of the oil-free gas compressor 20, and then the user can blow the aforementioned atoms and molecules and the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds on the wound.

(18) Additionally, in this embodiment, the device further has an air storage tank 71 and multiple heat sinks 72. The air storage tank 71 is connected between the first molecular sieve 30 and the parallel connected ionized gas generators 50. The heat sink 72 is mounted on an outer surface of the air storage tank 71. With the air storage tank 71 and the heat sinks 72, the gas passed through the first molecular sieve 30 can be stored and cooled down. Nevertheless, the air storage tank 71 and the heat sinks 72 can be replaced by a cooling coil in other embodiments, or the device can also be implemented without the air storage tank 71 and the heat sinks 72.

(19) Furthermore, in order to reduce bacteria in the abovementioned gas, a nano silver fiber (not shown in figures) can also be installed in front of the first molecular sieve 30 to pre-filter and pre-sterilize the gas.

(20) When in use, gas is compressed by the oil-free gas compressor 20 first, and is transferred to the second molecular sieve 40 to be dried next, and then passes through the first molecular sieve 30 and is purified by chromatography to make the concentration of the oxygen reach 90% to 93%. Next, the gas with high oxygen concentration will be sent into the parallel connected ionized gas generators 50 to ionize the gas in the ionizing space 55 to generate oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules, ozone, nitric oxide molecules, and carbon dioxide. At last, after the gas processed by all of the ionized gas generators 50 is converged, nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds can be naturally generated in the gas ejecting assembly 60. By this, the user can open the ejecting opening of the gas ejecting assembly 60 and adjust the ejecting speed and the ejecting force by the knob 63 to an appropriate range to blow the processed gas to the wound.

(21) The advantages of the present invention are as follows.

(22) First, the gas can be purified by the first molecular sieve 30 through chromatography, which is to filter out molecules in the gas except for oxygen, to make the oxygen concentration in the gas reach 90% to 93%. Since the purified gas comprises oxygen of sufficient concentration, after the purified gas is passed into the ionized gas generator 50, high polymers can be produced and oxygen atoms, oxygen molecules, ozone, nitric oxide molecules, and carbon dioxide with low temperature can be generated via pressure purification and ionization. Moreover, further through the multi-channel application of the ionized gas generators 50, which means to use the multiple ionized gas generators 50 in parallel connection, sufficient amounts of the aforementioned gases and ions can be generated. Since sufficient amounts of the aforementioned gases and ions are obtained, the aforementioned gases and ions can naturally react to form nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds after converged in the gas outlet pipe 54.

(23) By this, the gas and ions including nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds can be blown onto the wound through pressure of the oil-free gas compressor 20, so that the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds contact the wound, further interact with the moisture from the wound, and cause Bohr Effect on the wound. Then, the Bohr Effect makes the skin generate sebaceous membrane, thereby quickly healing the wound and assisting in naturally restoring skin elasticity.

(24) For healing the wound, the user only needs to use the present invention to blow on the wound, which is convenient for the wounded person to use on his/her own. During blowing, the wound is not only disinfected by the ozone, but also quickly healed by the Bohr Effect. Therefore, using the present invention to heal the wound avoids secondary infection since change of the dressing is no longer needed, and further avoids tissue fluid sticking, tissue proliferation, and scab formation, thereby effectively reducing the pain during treatment.

(25) Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only. Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
