Description

The present invention relates to an ion generating system for improving the skin moisture content by ion.

  Air cleaners that purify the air in living spaces with ions have been put into practical use. In such an air purifier, an ion generator for generating positive ions and negative ions is disposed in a blower passage through which air sucked from the outside of the blower flows, and the generated ions are externally combined with the air blown out from the blowout port. (See, for example, Patent Document 1). The released ions inactivate airborne bacteria in the air in a living space such as a room, kill them and denature odor components. As a result, the air in the living space is cleaned.

In recent years, attention has been focused not only on the sterilization effect by ions, but also on the moisturizing effect of improving the skin moisture content by irradiating human skin. For example, H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m (m is 0 or any natural number) as positive ions, and O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n (n is 0 or any natural number) as negative ions. It is known that the amount of moisture in the skin increases when irradiating (see Patent Document 2). By irradiating H ⁺ ions and O ₂ ^- ions simultaneously, OH groups are attached to the skin surface, the skin surface is locally hydrophilized and water molecules are attached, making it easier to penetrate the skin. Is obtained.

JP 2006-29665 A Japanese Patent No. 4790068

  When irradiating human skin with ions generated in the ion generator, the ion concentration changes according to the distance from the ion generator to the irradiation site. For example, when the ion generator is used while being gripped by a user's hand, and when the ion generator is used in a state of being placed on a table, the latter tends to be longer. However, the ion concentration tends to be dilute, and there is a problem that a sufficient moisturizing effect may not be obtained.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an ion generating system which can be even when mounted on the cradle to maintain the moisturizing effect.

An ion generation system according to the present invention includes an intake port and an air supply port, and positive ions and negative ions are introduced into a bottomed cylindrical air blowing housing provided with a ventilation path from the intake port to the air supply port. Ion generating means that is generated separately and discharged to the air passage, and air flow that generates an air flow for sending air sucked from the air intake port through the air supply port in a direction intersecting the cylinder axis of the air blowing housing. And a battery for supplying power for driving the ion generating means and the air blowing means, and the ion generating apparatus is detachably mounted, and power is supplied to the mounted ion generating apparatus. an ion generating system comprising a power supply device for supplying the power supply device, the blower Howe as air supply port of the mounted ion generating device is obliquely upward An inclined surface for supporting the ring at an oblique transverse orientation, the ion generating device, a source of electric power for driving the ion generating means and the blowing means is switched to one of the battery and the power supply device switching And when supplying power from the battery, a voltage having a first voltage value is applied to the blowing means, and ions generated by the ion generating means are sent out together with air from the air supply port, When the power is supplied from the power supply apparatus and is supplied to the power supply apparatus, a voltage having a second voltage value higher than the first voltage value is applied to the air blowing means, and the ions generated by the ion generation means Is sent together with air obliquely upward from the air supply port .

An ion generation system according to the present invention includes a tank housing that houses a tank that stores liquid and an atomizing unit that atomizes the liquid stored in the tank, and is connected to the blower housing in the cylinder axis direction. The atomizing means is driven by the electric power supplied from the battery or the power supply device, and the liquid atomized by the atomizing means is disposed in a direction intersecting the cylinder axis . It has a means for injecting to the outside.

  In the present invention, the voltage applied to the blower is set higher when used while being attached to the power supply device than when the battery is driven. For this reason, when using it by mounting | wearing with an electric power feeder, the ventilation volume by a ventilation means increases and the reach distance of ion will be extended.

  Further, in the present invention, positive ions and negative ions generated individually by the ion generating means provided in the air blowing housing are sent out in a predetermined direction through the air supply port, and in the tank housing connected to the air blowing housing. The liquid atomized in (1) is ejected in the same direction as the direction of sending out ions (predetermined direction).

Most of the positive ions and negative ions sent out from the air supply port do not bind in the vicinity of the air supply port, so that they easily reach the irradiation site. If the ions generated by the ion generating means are, for example, H ⁺ ions and O ₂ ^- ions, OH groups are attached to the skin surface that is the irradiation site, the skin surface is locally hydrophilized, and water molecules are generated. It becomes easy to adhere. In the present application, since the mist can be ejected in the same direction as the ion irradiation direction together with the ion irradiation, the ions and the mist are mixed in the vicinity of the skin surface that is the irradiation site. Therefore, sufficient water molecules are supplied around the OH group attached to the skin surface, and nano-sized water molecules are generated more efficiently.

  According to the present invention, when used by being mounted on a power feeding device, the voltage applied to the blowing means is increased compared to the case where battery driving is performed. The amount of air blown by the means can be increased. As a result, the reach distance of ions is extended, so that the same ion concentration as in the case of hand-held use can be maintained even when the apparatus is placed on a table and used.

The ion generator according to the present embodiment can be attached with a cap that covers the tank housing 5 and the air supply port 17. FIG. 2 shows a state where a cap is attached to the ion generator, and FIG. 3 shows a state where the cap is removed from the ion generator. FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in FIG. In the following description, the front side is the front and the back side is the back.

  The ion generator according to the present embodiment includes a blower fan 2 as a blower and a plasma cluster unit 3 as an ion generator inside a bottomed cylindrical blower housing 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the interior of the blower housing 1 is divided into a rear intake chamber 12 and a front air supply chamber 13 by a partition wall 11. The intake chamber 12 communicates with the outside via an intake port 15 opened near the upper end on the rear surface side of the blower housing 1, and the air supply chamber 13 is opened near the upper end on the front side of the blower housing 1. It communicates with the outside through the mouth 17. The intake chamber 12 and the air supply chamber 13 communicate with each other through an opening 11 a provided in the lower part of the partition wall 11, and form an air passage from the intake port 15 to the air supply port 17.

  The blower fan 2 includes an impeller 21 and a fan motor 22 that drives the impeller 21. The fan motor 22 is mounted in a casing 23 fixed to the bottom of the blower housing 1, and is disposed opposite to the opening 11 a at the lower part of the partition wall 11. The impeller 21 of the blower fan 2 is rotated by driving the fan motor 22. When the impeller 21 rotates, outside air is sucked into the intake chamber 12 through the intake port 15 provided near the upper end on the rear side of the blower housing 1, as indicated by white arrows in FIG. The outside air sucked into the intake chamber 12 flows downward in the intake chamber 12, is sucked into the impeller 21 through the opening 11 a at the lower part of the partition wall 11, and is directed upward into the air supply chamber 13. The Then, the air blowing direction is changed by the guide path 16 provided at the end of the air supply chamber 13 so as to be the irradiation direction, and the air is sent to the outside through the air supply port 17.

  Between the blower fan 2 and the air supply port 17, a plasma cluster unit 3 for generating positive and negative ions simultaneously is disposed. When the plasma cluster unit 3 is driven, positive and negative ions are released into the ventilation path from the blower fan 2 toward the air supply port 17, and air containing ions is sent out from the air supply port 17 in the irradiation direction. It is.

  The ion generator includes a tank housing 5 that is connected in the cylinder axis direction of the blower housing 1 and has an outer diameter that is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the blower housing 1. An opening 51 is provided on the rear surface of the tank housing 5, and a back cover 52 is detachably attached so as to close the opening 51. By removing the back cover 52 from the tank housing 5, the inside can be opened.

  Inside the tank housing 5, a tank 50 for storing liquid such as water or skin lotion is detachably mounted. In the tank 50, an amount of liquid that can generate mist for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times) is stored. When the liquid in the tank 50 runs out due to the mist injection, the liquid is taken out from the tank housing 5 and refilled into the tank 50 by the user.

  A mist generator 6 is provided on the front side of the lower portion of the tank housing 5 so as to be connected to the tank 50. The mist generator 6 is a device that generates mist by a known method, and the liquid in the tank 50 is introduced into the mist generator 6 using a water absorbing material or a water supply pipe (not shown). In the present embodiment, a mist is generated by atomizing the liquid introduced from the tank 50 using a piezoelectric element. That is, when the mist SW 102 is pushed, a high-frequency signal is applied to the piezoelectric element to generate ultrasonic waves in the liquid introduced from the tank 50, thereby atomizing the liquid in the mist generator 6, Generate mist.

  The mist generated in the mist generator 6 is injected from the injection port 62 to the outside of the tank housing 5 through the nozzle 61. The nozzle 61 of the mist generator 6 is set in a direction so as to be directed in the same direction as the ion irradiation direction. By ejecting mist from the injection port 62 provided at the tip of the nozzle 61, Mist can be injected in the same direction.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing an example of use in a state where the ion generator is mounted on the cradle 8. As described above, the ion generator according to the present embodiment can be used in a state of being gripped by the user's hand, and can be used in a state of being mounted on the cradle 8 as shown in FIG. It is also possible to do. When the user attaches to the cradle 8, the user attaches the ion generator to the cradle 8 placed on the table, generates ions and mist in this state, and places an irradiation site such as a face or an arm on the front of the apparatus. Moisturizes the skin surface by bringing it closer.

  In the present embodiment, when the cradle 8 is used while being used, the air volume by the blower fan 2 is increased as compared with the case where the cradle 8 is used by hand. When used by hand, the distance from the ion generator to the irradiation site is often less than 30 cm, and when mounted on the cradle 8 placed on a table and used, the distance from the ion generator to the irradiation site is 30 cm. This is often the case (for example, about 50 cm). For this reason, when the cradle 8 is used while being mounted, the air volume is increased and the reach distance of ions is lengthened.

  FIG. 7 is a front view of the cradle 8, FIG. 8 is a perspective view, FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. 10 is a schematic view showing the posture of the ion generator when mounted. FIG. 9 shows a cross-sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG. The cradle 8 includes a bottomed cylindrical housing 80 provided with a support portion 81 that supports the ion generator in a predetermined posture. The support portion 81 includes a bottom surface support portion 81a that supports the bottom surface of the ion generation device, and a rear surface support portion 81b that supports the rear surface of the ion generation device.

  The bottom support portion 81a includes two power supply terminals 82 and 82 connected to a commercial power source via an AC adapter (not shown). These power supply terminals 82, 82 are positioned on the bottom support portion 81 a so as to be in contact with a charging terminal (not shown) on the side of the ion generator when the ion generator is mounted on the cradle 8. The cradle 8 is configured to supply power to the mounted ion generator via the power supply terminals 82 and 82.

  Each of the bottom surface support portion 81a and the rear surface support portion 81b has a support surface that forms a predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal plane. In the present embodiment, the support surface of the bottom surface support portion 81a has an inclination angle inclined 50 degrees forward from the vertical surface. The support surface of the rear support portion 81b is a curved surface that follows the shape of the blower housing 1 of the ion generator, and has an inclination angle that is inclined backward by 40 degrees from the vertical surface. For this reason, when the ion generator is mounted on the cradle 8, as shown in FIG. 10, it is supported by the support portion 81 in a posture tilted by 40 degrees from the vertical direction, and the ion irradiation direction and mist injection Both directions are at an angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal plane.

  In the present embodiment, the ion generator is supported by the support unit 81 in a posture tilted by 40 degrees from the vertical direction, but the inclination angle is not limited to the above-described angle. What is necessary is just to design suitably at the angle which the irradiation direction of ion faces a user's face in the state with which it attached to the tabletop cradle 8.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control system of the ion generator. The ion generator according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 100, a power supply SW101, a mist SW102, a plasma cluster unit 3, a motor drive unit 20, a fan motor 22, a mist control unit 60, and a mist generator 6 as a control system. A battery 110 and a power supply switching circuit 120.

The control unit 100 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and controls operations of the plasma cluster unit 3, the motor drive unit 20, and the mist control unit 60 according to the on / off state of the power supply SW 101 and the mist SW 102.
Specifically, when the turning-on operation of the power supply SW 101 is detected, the control unit 100 sends an operation start signal to the plasma cluster unit 3 and the motor drive unit 20 to generate ions from the plasma cluster unit 3, Control is performed to drive the blower fan 2 to generate an air flow in the blower housing 1. In addition, when detecting the turning-on operation of the mist SW 102, the control unit 100 transmits an operation start signal to the mist control unit 60 and performs control for generating mist for a predetermined time.

  The plasma cluster unit 3 includes a pulse generation circuit, a transformer, discharge electrodes 31b and 32b (see FIG. 14), and when receiving an operation start signal from the control unit 100, an AC waveform or impulse is applied to the discharge electrodes 31b and 32b. By applying a voltage having a waveform, ions as described later are generated.

  The motor drive unit 20 is a drive circuit for driving the fan motor 22 of the blower fan 2. In the present embodiment, the rotation speed of the fan motor 22 is made different depending on whether the ion generator is used by hand or placed on the cradle 8. When the ion generator is used by hand and is operated by receiving power supply from the battery 110, the control unit 100 outputs a control signal to drive the fan motor 22 at the first rotation speed (rotation speed). It is sent to the drive unit 20. Further, when the ion generator is placed on the cradle 8 and is operated by receiving power supply from a commercial power source, the fan motor 22 is driven at a second rotational speed (rotational speed) higher than the first rotational speed. A control signal is sent to the motor drive unit 20 as much as possible.

  The motor drive unit 20 drives the fan motor 22 at a rotation speed according to an instruction from the control unit 100. As a result, when the cradle 8 is used while being used, the air volume can be increased as compared with the case where the cradle 8 is used by hand, so that the ion reach distance can be extended.

  When the mist control unit 60 has a timer or the like and receives an operation start signal from the control unit 100, the mist control unit 60 starts generation and injection of mist by the mist generator 6 and starts generation and injection of mist. The elapsed time is counted by a timer. When the elapsed time reaches a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), the mist control unit 60 performs control to stop generation and injection of mist by the mist generator 6.

  The power supply switching circuit 120 has a function of switching the power supply source to the battery 110 or an external power supply (cradle 8) depending on whether or not the ion generator is attached to the cradle 8. Whether or not the ion generator is attached to the cradle 8 can be detected, for example, by measuring a voltage between charging terminals of the ion generator.

  In the present embodiment, when the ion generator is not attached to the cradle 8, the power supply source is the battery 110, and when the ion generator is attached to the cradle 8, the power supply source is via the cradle 8. Connected to a commercial power supply (external power supply). When the battery 110 is used as a power supply source, the control unit 100 outputs a control signal to the motor drive unit 20 so as to drive the fan motor 22 at 3 V, and when the external power source is used as a power supply source, the control unit 100 100 outputs a control signal to the motor drive unit 20 so as to drive the fan motor 22 at 5V.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the operation procedure of the ion generator. The ion generator according to the present embodiment switches the drive voltage to the fan motor 22 depending on whether or not the device itself is mounted on the cradle 8. When the power SW 101 is turned on (step S11) and the own apparatus is mounted on the cradle 8 (S12: YES), the control unit 100 controls the motor drive unit 20 to drive the fan motor 22 at 5V. And the blower fan 2 is rotated at the second rotation speed (rotation speed) (step S13).

  On the other hand, when the power SW 101 is turned on (S11) and the apparatus is not attached to the cradle 8 (S12: NO), the control unit 100 controls the motor drive unit 20 to drive the fan motor 22 at 3V. And the blower fan 2 is rotated at the first rotational speed (rotational speed) (step S14).

FIG. 13 is a graph showing the relationship between the voltage applied to the fan motor 22 and the blown air volume. The horizontal axis indicates the voltage (V) applied to the fan motor 22, and the vertical axis indicates the amount of air blown from the air supply port 17 (m ³ / min). As shown in the graph, the amount of air blown out through the air supply port 17 monotonously increases as the voltage applied to the fan motor 22 is increased. In the present embodiment, the distance (for example, about 30 cm) between the ion generator and the irradiation site when used by hand, and the distance between the ion generator and the irradiation site when mounted on the cradle 8 and used on a table. In consideration of (for example, about 50 cm), when used without being mounted on the cradle 8, the applied voltage to the fan motor 22 is set to 5V, and when used with being mounted on the cradle 8, The applied voltage is 3V.

  In addition to the driving of the fan motor 22, the control unit 100 sends a driving start signal to the plasma cluster unit 3 to drive the plasma cluster unit 3 (step S 15), thereby starting the generation and blowing of ions.

  Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the mist SW 102 has been turned on (step S16). When the mist SW 102 is not operated (S16: NO), the control unit 100 shifts the process to step S21.

  When it is determined that the mist SW 102 has been turned on (S16: YES), the control unit 100 sends an operation start signal to the mist control unit 60 and drives the mist generator 6 (step S17). When the operation start signal sent from the control unit 100 is received, the mist control unit 60 starts the generation and injection of the mist by the mist generator 6 and activates the built-in timer to start the elapsed time measurement ( Step S18).

Next, the mist control unit 60 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the time measurement was started (step S19). When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (S19: NO), the mist control unit 60 waits until the predetermined time elapses.
When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (S19: YES), the mist control unit 60 stops the generation and injection of mist by the mist generator 6 (step S20).

Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the power switch 101 has been turned off (step S21). When the power SW 101 is not turned off (S21: NO), the control unit 100 returns the process to step S16.
When it is determined that the power supply SW 101 has been turned off (S21: YES), the control unit 100 sends an operation stop signal to the plasma cluster unit 3 and the motor drive unit 20 to drive the plasma cluster unit 3 and the fan motor 22. Is stopped (step S22).

Hereinafter, the effect | action by the ion and mist which the ion generator which concerns on this Embodiment irradiates is demonstrated.
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the positional relationship between the plasma cluster unit 3 and the air supply port 17. The plasma cluster unit 3 has two concave portions 31a and 32a opened on the side facing the air supply chamber 13 in the blower housing 1, and needle-like discharge electrodes 31b and 32b are respectively provided in the concave portions 31a and 32a. It is erected.

The plasma cluster unit 3 includes a pulse generation circuit, a transformer, and the like, and a voltage having an AC waveform or an impulse waveform is applied to the discharge electrodes 31b and 32b. A positive voltage is applied to one of the discharge electrodes 31b, and ions generated by ionization are combined with moisture in the air, mainly from a composition of H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m (m is 0 or any natural number). The positive ions (cluster ions) are formed. Further, a negative voltage is applied to the other discharge electrode 32b, and ions generated by ionization are combined with moisture in the air, so that mainly O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n (n is 0 or any natural number). Negative ions (cluster ions) having the following composition are formed.

In the present embodiment, the magnitude of the voltage applied to the discharge electrodes 31b and 32b and the pulse period are adjusted so that the ion concentration from the air supply port 17 is about 100,000 ions / cm ³ .

  As described above, the plasma cluster unit 3 generates positive ions and negative ions separately. The air supply port 17 provided in the vicinity of the upper end of the blower housing 1 forms an opening that is longer in the lateral direction than the interval between the two discharge electrodes 31b and 32b. The air supply port 17 is provided with a partition wall 18 that partitions air containing positive ions and air containing negative ions. For this reason, air containing positive ions and air containing negative ions are sent out from the air supply port 17 in the irradiation direction, and most of the positive ions and negative ions are in the vicinity of the air supply port 17. It becomes easy to reach | attain the skin surface which is an irradiation site | part, without couple | bonding.

FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing the irradiation direction of ions and mist. In the present embodiment, it is possible to inject mist in the same direction as the ion irradiation direction together with the ion irradiation. The mist is composed of particles having a size of about several μm, and flows down slightly in the vertical direction under the action of gravity while floating in the air. Since one ion is a relatively light nano-sized particle, its altitude increases slightly while floating in the air. For this reason, ions and mist are mixed in a region separated from the air supply port 17 and the injection port 62 by an appropriate distance in the irradiation direction.
Therefore, by adjusting the wind speed by the blower fan 2 and the mist ejection speed from the ejection port 62, it is possible to create a state in which ions and mist are mixed in the vicinity of the skin surface that is the irradiation site.

  The positive ions and negative ions sent out from the ion generator cause the following reaction on the skin surface that is the irradiation site.

(1) H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m + O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n → OH + _1/2 O ₂ + (m + n) H ₂ O
(2) H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m + H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _{m ′} + O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n + O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _{n ′} → 2.OH + O ₂ + (m + m ′ + n + n ′ ) H ₂ O
(3) H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m + H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _{m ′} + O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n + O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _{n ′} → H ₂ O ₂ + O ₂ + (m + m ′) + N + n ′) H ₂ O

That is, by simultaneously irradiating the skin surface with H ⁺ ions and O ₂ ⁻ ions, the OH group adheres to the skin surface, the skin surface is locally hydrophilized, and water molecules are likely to adhere. Become. In particular, in the present embodiment, it is possible to spray mist in the same direction as the ion irradiation direction together with the ion irradiation, so that sufficient water molecules are supplied around the OH group attached to the skin surface. It is possible to generate nano-sized water molecules more efficiently, and as a result, the water molecules can easily penetrate into the skin, and the skin moisture content can be increased.
