The world moves fast, and so do germs, odors, and the need for cleaner spaces. The newly proposed patent for an aqua-ozone hygienization system promises to make cleaning safer, faster, and more flexible. In this article, we will break down this patent in simple terms, so you can understand why this invention matters, how it works, and what makes it different from what came before. Let’s get started.

Background and Market Context

Cleaning is a part of everyday life, whether you are at home, in a gym, at work, or running a business. People want their things to be fresh, smell good, and be free from germs. But the way we clean hasn’t changed much over time. Many traditional cleaning systems use a lot of water, strong chemicals, or dryers. These methods take time, leave things wet, and sometimes even cause harm to people or the environment.

In gyms, laundries, and public spaces, people have to deal with sweaty towels, smelly clothes, and items touched by many hands. After a workout, users want their towels or shirts to be ready to wear right away, not wet from a soak or smelling of chemicals. Most cleaning machines do not allow for this. They soak the items, making them too wet for immediate use. They may also use ozone in a way that is not safe for people, especially in public areas where people could breathe in dangerous byproducts.

Corona discharge is a common way to make ozone for cleaning, but it creates nitrogen byproducts. These are bad for the lungs if inhaled. So, most ozone-based systems can’t be used where people might breathe in the gas, which limits where and how they can be used.

The world is also moving toward safer, greener options. Chemicals are falling out of favor, and people want cleaning products and systems that are safe, easy to use, and environmentally friendly. Businesses and homes alike are searching for flexible cleaning tools that can do more than just soak or spray—they need systems that can also deodorize, disinfect, and purify, all while being safe for people, fast to use, and gentle on the environment.

The patent for the aqua-ozone hygienization system tries to solve all these problems. It wants to give users a way to clean, disinfect, and deodorize items using ozonated water, but in a way that is safe for people, flexible for many uses, and ready for the fast pace of modern life. It also aims to work for different settings, from gyms and laundromats to homes, factories, and shops.

Scientific Rationale and Prior Art

To understand what makes this invention different, it helps to know how ozone works and what has been done before.

Ozone is a powerful oxidizer. This means it can break down and kill germs, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When ozone touches these things, it breaks their walls and makes them harmless. Ozone also removes bad smells and helps things feel fresh. But ozone gas, when made with corona discharge, can also create nitrogen oxides, which are unsafe to breathe.

Older cleaning devices that used ozone often did not solve this problem. They made ozone gas in ways that put people at risk, especially if used in places where people could breathe in the air from the machines. Because of this, these systems were not used much in public spaces or homes.

Many other cleaning systems simply soak clothes or items in water or soap. This gets things clean, but leaves them very wet. You can’t put on a shirt right after it has been soaked. You have to wait for it to dry. In busy places like gyms, where people want to use items right away, this is not practical. Some systems spray water or cleaning liquid, but they don’t always kill germs or remove smells fully. They also don’t let you pick how you want to clean: you either get a soak, a spray, or a mist, but not all three.

Ozone in water, or aqueous ozone, is safer than ozone gas. It breaks down quickly into normal oxygen after cleaning, so there are no harmful leftovers. But even with aqueous ozone, older machines could not give people full control of how to use the cleaning power. They did not let people choose between a light mist, a deep spray, or an immersion. They also did not have a way to manage the flow of ozonated water, to keep things dry when needed or to soak them when a deep clean was needed.

Prior art also did not make it easy to keep the machines working well. If the generator that makes the ozone wore out, it was hard to replace. There was no easy way to know if the machine was working right, if the ozone levels were high enough, or if the machine needed service.

The new patent builds on this science and these shortcomings. It uses an electrochemical generator to make ozone in water, so there are no dangerous nitrogen byproducts. It gives users the choice between mist, spray, and immersion. It lets users control how wet things get, and how deep the clean goes. It also makes it easy to check the status, replace parts, and keep the system running well.

In short, the science is sound: ozone in water is a strong cleaner and deodorizer. But the way it is delivered, the safety, and the control are what make this new system stand out.

Invention Description and Key Innovations

Let’s look at what this patent claims and why it is new and important.

The aqua-ozone hygienization system is a cleaning device that uses water mixed with ozone to clean, deodorize, and disinfect items. The heart of the system is an electrochemical generator. This generator takes regular water and turns it into ozonated concentrate liquid—basically, water that is filled with ozone. This liquid is then used in different ways to treat items placed inside a tank.

The system is very flexible. When you put an item, like a towel, shirt, or any other thing, into the tank, you can pick how you want to clean it:

• Mist: The nozzle makes a fine, almost dry spray. This is perfect for removing bad smells without making the item wet. You could, for example, freshen up a shirt and wear it right away.
• Spray: The nozzle sprays more liquid, making the item damp. This is better for killing germs and giving a deeper clean, but still not soaking the item.
• Immersion: The system fills up with more ozonated water, so the item is fully soaked. This is for the deepest clean, like removing heavy sweat or dirt from workout clothes.

The system has special ports called ingress and egress ports. The ingress port lets you fill the water reservoir in a controlled way. The egress port lets you manage how much ozonated water stays in the tank. If you are using the mist or spray, the egress port lets the water drain away so nothing builds up. If you are soaking something, the port stays closed to let the water accumulate.

The platform inside the tank can move up and down. In the up position, you can mist or spray the item while keeping it dry. In the down position, the item can be fully immersed in the ozonated water. This platform design means you can treat all kinds of items, big or small, and choose exactly how they are cleaned.

There is also a special part of the system for filling an external spray bottle or vessel. This is handy for cleaning things outside the tank, like gym equipment or surfaces. The external nozzle fits into a concave part of the tank, and the bottle fits in there snugly, so filling it is easy and mess-free.

To keep the system running well, there is a replaceable consumables cartridge. This cartridge holds the electrochemical generator and other materials that get used up over time. When the cartridge is spent, you just pop it out and put in a new one. No need for special tools or messy repairs.

The system is also smart. It has a control system with a display and buttons, so you can pick your cleaning mode and see how the system is working. It also has sensors to check the ozone levels in the water, making sure each treatment is strong enough to kill germs and remove odors. If anything goes wrong, or if service is needed, the system can send messages to a remote computer or phone. It even has GPS, so you can track where each machine is, which is great for businesses that have many units in different places.

Because the generator uses an electrochemical method, not corona discharge, it only makes pure ozone in water—no dangerous nitrogen byproducts. This makes the system safe to use in homes, gyms, and public spaces.

The invention covers not just the machine, but also the methods of using it. It describes how a person can select the cleaning mode, place items on the platform, fill the reservoir, use the external nozzle, replace the cartridge, and send status updates.

Overall, the key innovations are:

• Safe generation of ozonated water with no harmful byproducts
• Multiple cleaning modes (mist, spray, immersion) for different needs
• Movable platform for easy switching between modes
• Smart control with display, sensors, and remote monitoring
• Easy-to-replace consumables cartridge
• External nozzle for portable cleaning
• Full control over water flow and accumulation

These features make the system adaptable for many places and uses, from freshening up your shirt before work, to deep cleaning gym towels, to sanitizing surfaces in a busy commercial space.

Conclusion

The aqua-ozone hygienization system patent shows a big step forward in the way we clean. It takes proven science—ozone in water kills germs and removes odors—but adds safety, choice, and smart design. The system gives users power to decide how to clean, lets them use items right away, and keeps people safe from harmful byproducts. It is easy to maintain, easy to use, and flexible for any space.

As more people and businesses look for faster, safer, and greener cleaning solutions, this invention stands out for its thoughtfulness and smart engineering. It is ready for the needs of today’s busy, health-conscious world.
