Shown in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, in the present embodiment, as Air Blast fan 2, becoming vertically with rotating shaft in casing 1, the mode of (vertical direction) disposes cross flow fan.The outlet (11,12) that cross flow fan is suitable for from lengthwise is emitted lamellated uniform air flow.In addition, by upright configuration cross flow fan, realize the slimming of casing 1.
Between the Air Blast fan 2 and air entry 10 in casing 1, as shown in Figure 3A, dispose the filter 3 that constitutes by odor removal filter 30 and dust-collecting filter 31.Than dust-collecting filter 31, odor removal filter 30 is configured in to air entry 10 sides.Odor removal filter 30, shown in Fig. 3 B, by attached to the active carbon of the inner surface in a plurality of holes of honeycombed structure from by deodorize composition (for example acetaldehyde) the air in hole.Prevent the viewpoint of the pressure loss from reducing aeration resistance, the opening direction in a plurality of holes and the air flow almost parallel of supplying with from Air Blast fan 2.On the other hand, as dust-collecting filter 31, preferred use have collecting electrode and ground electrode, seizure is by the dust that contained in these interelectrode air and the electric precipitation filter of dust.After being sucked in the casing 1 via air entry 10, will be caught efficiently by the electric precipitation filter of positively charged from the charged airborne dust of the anion of anion generator 6 supplies described later.Fig. 3 C is an example of the detailed construction of expression dust-collecting filter 31.The size of grid pattern by changing each filter (30,31) or the unit of honeycomb pattern structure, or change hole rate, or change stacked number and can adjust aeration resistance.In addition, in Fig. 2 A, Reference numeral 32 adjacent air entries 10 of expression and the prefilter that is configured before odor removal filter 30 and dust-collecting filter 31, is caught the big foreign body from air entry 10 inhaled airs.Like this, because will deliver to electrostatic atomization described later portion 4 by the air that filter 3 has purified, thus can not adhere to fine dust in electrostatic atomization portion, and can produce the charged corpuscle mist long-term and stably.
By driving Air Blast fan 2, be sucked into air in the casing 1 via air entry 10, such shown in the arrow among Fig. 2 B, after being cleaned by prefilter 32, odor removal filter 30 and dust-collecting filter 31, its part is sent to the first air supply path C1 of the atomizing electrode 40 that disposes electrostatic atomization portion 4, and remainder is sent to the second air supply path C2 of the fin 57 that disposes electrostatic atomization portion 4.That is, be divided into the first air supply path C1 and the second air supply path C2 towards the air suction way of Air Blast fan 2 by the air flow distribution member 16 that is configured in Air Blast fan 2 downstreams from air entry 10.In addition, the first air supply path C1 is formed between the Air Blast fan 2 and first outlet 11, and the second air supply path C2 is formed between the Air Blast fan 2 and second outlet 12.
Shown in Fig. 4 A~Fig. 4 C, electrostatic atomization portion 4 is mainly by constituting with the lower part: front end forms the bar-shaped atomizing electrode 40 of sharp shape; Opposite electrode 41, it is located at and the opposed position of the leading section of atomizing electrode 40; Dew generation unit 42, it makes airborne moisture dewfall, provides dew to atomizing electrode; Heat-sink unit 43, it dispels the heat to the heat that produces from dew generation unit 42; High voltage applying unit 44, it applies high voltage between atomizing electrode 40 and opposite electrode 41, the dew that supplies to atomizing electrode is carried out electrostatic atomization.
Preferably the material by heat conductivity excellences such as copper or silver forms atomizing electrode 40.Opposite electrode 41 is maintained at the upper end of retaining member 45 cylindraceous.Bar-shaped atomizing electrode 40 is accommodated in the inside of retaining member 45 in the mode on the approximate centre axle that is positioned at retaining member 45 cylindraceous.Opposite electrode 41 in the form of a ring, its central opening is mutually opposed with the leading section of atomizing electrode 40.In addition, among Fig. 4 A, Reference numeral 48 expressions in the present embodiment, are used the good and low-cost rustless steel of corrosion resistance in order to apply high-tension electroconductive member between atomizing electrode 40 and opposite electrode 41.
In the present embodiment, use peltier device (Peltier device) as dew generation unit 42.Peltier device comprise the thermoelement 50 that is provided in atomizing electrode 40 belows and be configured in the heat-absorbent surface of thermoelement 50 and the lower end of atomizing electrode 40 between the absorber plate 52 that constitutes by heat conductivity good insulation performance material (for example such ceramic material of aluminium oxide).On the other hand, the heating face side (an opposite side with atomizing electrode 40 sides) at thermoelement 50 disposes heat-sink unit 43.The matrix 55 that heat-sink unit 43 is contacted by the heating face with thermoelement 50 and constitute from the generally perpendicularly outstanding a plurality of fin 57 of matrix 55.Fin 57 preferably uses the material of heat conductivity excellences such as copper or silver, still, considers cost factor, uses metal materials such as aluminum or ferrum also enough.In addition, because air flows into fin 57 gap to each other easily, therefore, preferably electrostatic atomization portion 4 is configured in the second air supply path C2 in the projected direction of fin 57 mode with the direction almost parallel of the air flow of supplying with by Air Blast fan 2.
Dew generation unit 42 is energized to thermoelement 50 via lead-in wire (not shown), and is under the effect of Peltier effect, mobile from the heat-absorbent surface side direction heating face side generation heat of thermoelement 50.At this moment, the atomizing electrode 40 that is configured on the heat-absorbent surface is cooled, and the temperature of atomizing electrode 40 ambient airs descends, and produces dewfall on atomizing electrode 40.Like this, the dew attached to atomizing electrode 40 surfaces becomes the supply source that generates the necessary water of charged corpuscle mist in electrostatic atomization portion 4.
Then, generating on the atomizing electrode 40 under the state of dew, when by high voltage applying unit 44 so that atomizing electrode 40 when between atomizing electrode 40 and opposite electrode 41, applying high voltage for the mode of negative pole, dew is generated the charged corpuscle mist by electrostatic atomization.That is, by the high voltage that applies between electrode, dew receives lot of energy, carries out Rayleigh (Rayleigh) division repeatedly, generates thus and contains the charged corpuscle mist that particle diameter is the spike of nano-scale.The charged corpuscle mist that generates is emitted to the outside by the central opening of opposite electrode 41.
Like this, in the present invention,, therefore, aqua storage tank need not be set in casing, thereby the volume that can dwindle air cleaner is significantly realized miniaturization because the moisture dewfall that contains in the air is used.Therefore in addition, the operation of also need not feeding water in aqua storage tank has termly improved the operability of air cleaner significantly.And, owing to use an Air Blast fan 2, can carry out the cooling with electrostatic atomization portion 4 of emitting of charged corpuscle mist simultaneously, therefore, compare with the situation of the cooling body that electrostatic atomization portion 4 is set in addition, can make air cleaner miniaturization (simplifying), can realize the raising of cost performance simultaneously.
In addition, the erecting tools of use as bolt or screw is fixed on assigned position in the casing with the electrostatic atomization portion 4 of present embodiment, expose in the first air supply path C1 so that generate the heat absorbing side of the electrostatic atomization portion 4 of charged corpuscle mist, and the heating side of the electrostatic atomization portion 4 that is provided with fin 57 is exposed in the second air supply path C2.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the formation position of the electrostatic atomization portion 4 of present embodiment is near the substantial middle portion of the outlet (11,12) of lengthwise.
Shown in Fig. 6 A~Fig. 6 D, the both sides up and down that the air cleaner of present embodiment is included in the electrostatic atomization portion 4 in the first air supply path C1 separate predetermined distance and a pair of anion generator 6 that disposes.Each anion generator 6 is by acicular sparking electrode 60 and opposite electrode (not having diagram), applies the voltage applying circuit that minus high voltage generates anion constitute between these electrodes.The anion that is generated is discharged into the outside from first outlet 11.Therefore,, contain the charged corpuscle mist that generates by electrostatic atomization portion 4, contain the anion that generates by anion generator 6 at the both ends of above-mentioned air flow in the substantial middle portion of the lamellated air flow that has been cleaned of emitting from first outlet 11 of lengthwise.The dust that swims in the interior space, because the anion of being emitted is and electronegative, these electronegative dust one are drawn onto in the air cleaner, will be collected efficiently by the electric precipitation filter of positively charged.In addition, the setting of anion generator 6 is arbitrarily, can omit.
Below, the action of the air cleaner that is made of said structure is described.Operation setting makes Air Blast fan 2 actions at the guidance panel 15 on casing 1 top, shown in the arrow among Fig. 2 B, is cleaned by prefilter 32, odor removal filter 30, dust-collecting filter 31 in order from air entry 10 inhaled airs.After the air that has purified had passed through Air Blast fan 2, a part was sent to the first air supply path C1, the remaining second air supply path C2 that is sent to.In the first air supply path C1, utilize dew generation unit 42, on atomizing electrode 40, generate dew, simultaneously, utilize high voltage applying unit 44, generate the charged corpuscle mist by dew.In addition, utilize anion generator 6 also to produce anion.Consequently, except the air that has been cleaned, charged corpuscle mist and anion also emitted from first outlet 11.The charged corpuscle mist of being emitted carry out to airborne foul smell composition deodorization, to attached to the removing of the foul smell composition of indoor wall etc., to degerming of the interior space etc.In addition, because the air output of the first air supply path C1 is set to such an extent that lack than the second air supply path C2, so can make dew stable and carry out electrostatic atomization in electrostatic atomization portion 4.On the other hand, because the air that more has been cleaned is fed in the second air supply path C2, so cooling heat dissipation unit 43 more effectively.
But, from the viewpoint of the cooling effectiveness of the heat-sink unit 43 that improves electrostatic atomization portion 4, the preferred guiding elements will be from the air guide that Air Blast fan 2 is supplied with adjacent fin 57 gap each other of configuration in the second air supply path C2.Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 represent an example of guiding elements.This guiding elements is made of the case shape box body 70 that inside can hold heat-sink unit 43, an end opening, fin 57 front ends relatively to wall on be provided with a plurality of slits 72.The air of supplying with from Air Blast fan 2 flow into fin 57 gap each other glibly via these slits 72, again by relative with second outlet 12 to the above-mentioned opening of box body 70 flow out, therefore, cold sink 57 effectively.In addition, even suppose from the air that Air Blast fan 2 is supplied with, to contain dust,, can hinder dust to a certain extent and invade in the box body because fin 57 is configured in the box body 70, consequently, can expect to prevent that dust is deposited on the fin and the bad effect that cooling effectiveness is descended.In addition, as shown in Figure 9,, then can carry out the maintenance activity of heat-sink unit 43 and the cleaning work that slit 72 produces when stopping up easily if on the main body of box body 70, formed the wall box body that is formed with slit 72 in loading and unloading mode freely.
In addition, except relative with the front end of fin 57 to wall, also can on the wall of the box body that is positioned at the first air supply path C1 side, also be provided with slit, by this slit, the second air supply path C2 and the first air supply path C1 partly are communicated with.Like this, after air in inflow fin 57 gap is each other heated by the heat from fin, from box body 70 relative with second outlet 12 to opening and slit two sides that are communicated with the first air supply path C1 flow out swimmingly, therefore, can further improve the cooling effectiveness of fin 57.
As the modification of above-mentioned embodiment,, preferably anion generator 6 is configured in the upper side of electrostatic atomization portion 4 using single anion generator 6 to replace using under the situation of a pair of anion generator 6.Because anion is lighter than charged corpuscle mist, so anion is difficult to be absorbed by the charged corpuscle mist.In addition, in the above-described embodiment,,,, can not produce big influence to sum even a part of anion is absorbed by the charged corpuscle mist because the amount of the anion that generates is many though use a pair of anion generator 6 up and down yet.
In addition, as shown in figure 10, for emitting, the bottom from first outlet 11 of lengthwise contains purifying air of charged corpuscle mist, preferably emit the mode that purifies air that contains anion, anion generator 6 and electrostatic atomization portion 4 are configured in the casing with substantial middle portion and upper end from first outlet.
Also have, as shown in figure 11, also the anion generator 6 up and down that is positioned at electrostatic atomization portion 4 can be configured in the position of only laterally having moved predetermined distance from the position of electrostatic atomization portion 4.Or, as shown in figure 12, anion generator 6 and electrostatic atomization portion 4 mode with lateral alternate on roughly the same height is disposed side by side.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, though used peltier device as dew generation unit 42,,, also can use other chiller or heat exchanger as long as can cool off atomizing electrode 40 and make moisture dewfall in the surrounding air.Also have, also anion generator 6 can be configured in the second air supply path C2.
As mentioned above, utilize aircondition of the present invention, because make airborne moisture dewfall Lai Fill use water into the raw material of charged corpuscle mist as, the operation so user need not feed water just can generate the charged corpuscle mist long-term and stably.In addition, come cold sink, therefore the cooling body of fin need not be set in addition, thereby can realize aircondition miniaturization, the raising that economizes energy and cost performance owing to utilize from the part of air of Air Blast fan supply.
In addition, on the basis of electrostatic atomization portion, remilitarized under the situation of anion generator and electric precipitation machine, can remove indoor swim bacterium and stench by the charged corpuscle mist, simultaneously, once more will be because of the electronegative dust of anion is attracted in the aircondition, thus can catch effectively by the electric precipitation machine of positively charged.Therefore, by an aircondition, just can access antibiotic, deodorization, dust separating effect.
Like this, the present invention is representative with the air cleaner, realizes the comfortable working space and the aircondition of living space like a cork as being used for, and its application waits in expectation.
