Furthermore, the technical features mentioned in the different embodiments of the invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

The plasma generation device 100 of the present embodiment mainly includes a spiral electrode 1 and a catalyst electrode. As shown in fig. 3, the spiral electrode 1 includes an inner electrode 11, an insulating layer 13 wrapped outside the inner electrode 11, and a carbon fiber electrode 12 spirally wound outside the insulating layer 13. The inner electrode 11 is adapted to be connected to an alternating current power supply. The carbon fiber electrode 12 is adapted to be grounded. The catalyst electrode is provided on one side of the spiral electrode 1. The distance between the catalyst electrode and the spiral electrode 1 is L, and L is less than or equal to 5 mm. The catalyst electrode is adapted to be connected to a dc power source. The catalyst electrode includes a catalyst for removing ozone. The catalyst electrode is preferably a catalyst layer which comprises an aluminum electrode and Mn, Ni, Co and Cu single or composite transition metal oxides coated on the aluminum electrode.

The dc power supply is adapted to provide a dc voltage of 0-8000v to the catalyst electrode. The AC power supply is adapted to provide an AC voltage of 500-4000v to the inner electrode 11. Preferably, the dc power supply is adapted to provide 6000-7000v dc voltage to the catalyst electrode, and the ac power supply is adapted to provide 1600-1800v ac voltage to the inner electrode 11, the above-mentioned voltage range is an optimal range obtained through a large number of experiments, and when the voltage is in the above-mentioned range, the glow discharge effect will not be affected due to too small voltage, and the discharge will not be developed into severe filament discharge.

As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the plasma generating apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is additionally provided with the catalyst electrode on one side of the spiral electrode 1, and the distance between the catalyst electrode and the spiral electrode 1 is set to be less than 5 mm. The surface of the spiral electrode 1 can generate uniform glow discharge, the catalyst electrode is connected with a direct current power supply, and the plasma formed on the surface of the spiral electrode 1 can be led out to the catalyst electrode, so that the glow discharge on the space is formed between the spiral electrode 1 and the catalyst electrode under lower voltage, the discharge area of the plasma generating device 100 is increased, and the discharge degree of the surface of the spiral electrode 1 is enhanced to a certain degree.

Since an electric field is formed between the catalyst electrode and the spiral electrode 1, when the air flow enters between the catalyst electrode and the spiral electrode 1, impurities carried in the air flow can be charged when passing through the discharge region, and then adhere to the surface of the catalyst electrode under the action of the electric field, which further improves the air purification effect of the plasma generation device 100 of the embodiment. The catalyst electrode may or may not be provided with a through hole 21. The through holes 21 can facilitate the formation of an electric field in the space, and promote the uniform glow discharge of the spiral electrode 1 and the catalyst electrode. Meanwhile, the catalyst electrode can be used for removing ozone generated in the glow discharge process, so that the air purification effect of the plasma generation device 100 is further improved, the activity of the catalyst on the catalyst electrode can be ensured by the plasma generated in the glow discharge process, and the service life of the catalyst electrode is prolonged.

Therefore, the catalyst electrode in the plasma generator 100 of the present embodiment can serve as a dc electrode to expand the purification range of the plasma generator 100 and adsorb particulate matter, and can also serve to remove ozone generated during glow discharge, thereby expanding the purification range of the plasma generator 100 and improving the air purification effect of the plasma generator 100. In addition, the plasma generator 100 of the present embodiment 100 has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, is safe and reliable to use, and is convenient for implementation, popularization and application.

Carbon fiber is a semiconductor material, and compared with general metals, the carbon fiber has a relatively weak electron emission capability per unit volume (or per unit surface area), so that the amount of electrons released during discharge can be effectively controlled, and over-intense discharge can be prevented. And because the single filament of the carbon fiber has an extremely small curvature radius (the monofilament diameter is only 7-10 mu m). Under this condition, the actual discharge space around the carbon fiber electrode 12 is limited to a small size, so that a micro-discharge can be formed. In microdischarges at higher electric field strengths, the field emission effect of the carbon fiber electrode 12 becomes non-negligible. Under the action of stronger field emission, the discharge space is filled with a large amount of seed electrons, and the seed electrons appear to be used as an initial electron source of other electron bursts, so that the initial discharge voltage is effectively reduced, and the discharge is easy to realize under relatively low average field intensity; on the other hand, electrons are generated under a lower average electric field, which is beneficial to obtaining slowly-growing electrons, provides possibility for realizing stable glow discharge under atmospheric pressure, and inhibits the conversion of the electrons into filament discharge. Since the discharge of the carbon fiber electrode 12 is mainly generated on the surface of the insulating layer 13, when the number of carbon fibers in the carbon fiber bundle is too large, the discharge space is occupied, and the discharge area is reduced, therefore, the carbon fiber electrode 12 preferably comprises n carbon fiber filaments, and n is greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 1500.

The aluminum electrode is preferably, but not limited to, sheet-like (see fig. 5) or cylindrical (see fig. 1) in the shape of a cylinder. For example, when the aluminum electrode is selected as the aluminum mesh 2 woven from aluminum wires, the aluminum mesh 2 is preferably disposed on one side of the spiral electrode 1. The flaky aluminum electrode can be selected to be a flake shape, and can also be selected to have a certain thickness, and the shape of the flaky aluminum electrode is preferably, but not limited to, a square, a circle or other irregular patterns. The cross section of the aluminum mesh 2 can be linear or wavy. Preferably, when the cross section of the aluminum mesh 2 is wavy, the spiral electrode 1 can generate discharge in multiple directions with the catalyst electrode, and the discharge area between the spiral electrode 1 and the catalyst electrode can be increased.

As shown in fig. 2, the plasma generating apparatus 100 may optionally include one or more generating units arranged at intervals in sequence. The number of generating units can be adjusted according to the range of environment to be purified and the quality of air. Each generating unit comprises a catalyst electrode and a spiral electrode group correspondingly arranged. Each helical electrode group comprises a plurality of helical electrodes 1 arranged side by side and at intervals. A plurality of generating unit can carry out comparatively thorough purification to the air. Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the spiral electrode groups of two adjacent generating units are staggered. The staggered spiral electrode groups can increase the contact area of the gas flow and the discharge space between the catalyst electrode and the spiral electrode 1, thereby promoting the plasma generation device 100 to more thoroughly disinfect and sterilize the gas flow. In addition, the adjacent generating units are arranged in a staggered manner, so that a blind zone is prevented from being formed in the plasma generating device 100, partial air flow is prevented from passing between the spiral electrodes 1 and not passing through a discharge zone, and the purification effect of the plasma generating device 100 is improved.

When the aluminum electrode is selected as the cylindrical electrode 4 woven from aluminum wires, as shown in fig. 1, the cylindrical electrode 4 is preferably disposed around the spiral electrode 1, and the cylindrical electrode 4 is preferably, but not limited to, a square cylinder, a circular cylinder, an oval cylinder, or the like. The cylindrical electrode 4 and the spiral electrode 1 can generate discharge in multiple directions, so that the discharge area of space discharge is further increased, the plasma density in a discharge space is improved, the number of the electrodes is reduced, and the power of an alternating current power supply is reduced. The through holes 21 can facilitate the formation of an electric field in the space, and promote the uniform glow discharge between the helical electrode 1 and the cylindrical electrode 4.

When the aluminum electrode is selected as the cylindrical electrode 4, the air cleaner preferably includes a plurality of generating unit groups in order to ensure high dust removal efficiency of the air cleaner. Each generating unit group comprises a plurality of generating units which are mutually connected in parallel. Each generation unit includes a spiral electrode 1 and a catalyst electrode disposed around the spiral electrode 1. Two adjacent generating unit groups are arranged in a staggered mode. The staggered spiral electrode groups can increase the contact area of the gas flow and the discharge space between the catalyst electrode and the spiral electrode 1, thereby promoting the plasma generation device 100 to more thoroughly disinfect and sterilize the gas flow. In addition, a blind zone can be avoided in the plasma generation device 100, and partial air flow can be avoided from passing between the spiral electrodes 1 without passing through a discharge zone, which is beneficial to improving the purification effect of the plasma generation device 100.

In the present embodiment, the through holes 21 on the catalyst electrode are preferably, but not limited to, obtained by punching, or formed by weaving aluminum wires. For example, when the aluminum electrode is selected as the aluminum mesh 2 formed by weaving aluminum wires, the dense through holes 21 are beneficial to forming a uniform electric field in the space, so that each spiral electrode 1 can generate good uniform glow discharge with the catalyst electrode. Due to the discharge in the space, the spiral electrode 1 and the metal part of the catalyst electrode are generated. In order to ensure that the aluminum mesh 2 has a large discharge area, the aperture of the aluminum mesh 2 is preferably less than 5mm, preferably less than 2 mm. For example, when the catalyst electrode is selected as the aluminum mesh 2 woven by aluminum wires, the diameter of the aluminum wires in the aluminum mesh 2 is D6, and D6 is more than or equal to 0.15mm and less than or equal to 0.25 mm. The aperture of the catalyst electrode is D7, and D7 is more than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 2 mm. When the catalyst electrode is selected to be the punched aluminum net 2, the aperture of the through hole 21 of the catalyst electrode is D8, and D8 is more than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 2 mm. The hole middle spacing of the catalyst electrode is D9, and D9 is more than or equal to 2mm and less than or equal to 4 mm. Preferably, the cathode of the direct current power supply is connected with the catalyst electrode, and the anode is grounded. Compared with the mode that the anode is connected with the catalyst electrode and the cathode is grounded, the glow discharge generated by the mode that the cathode of the direct-current power supply is connected with the catalyst electrode is more uniform, the filament discharge is not easy to generate, the manufacturing requirement on the electrode is lower, the safety of the plasma generating device 100 is improved, the rejection rate of the electrode is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the plasma generating device 100 is reduced.

In this embodiment, the spiral electrode 1 structure further includes a pressed wire 101 that is spirally wound on the insulating layer 13 and pressed on the carbon fiber electrode 12. The pressing line 101 is opposite to the spiral direction of the carbon fiber electrode 12. The pressing line 101 is wound to press the burrs on the outer surface of the carbon fiber electrode 12, so that the burrs on the outer surface of the carbon fiber electrode 12 can be effectively pressed, the phenomenon of sharp discharge breakdown of the burrs is avoided, discharge is more uniform, the service life of the spiral electrode 1 structure is prolonged, and the problems that excessive idle work is generated by burr discharge and the discharge efficiency is influenced are solved.

The pressed line 101 is made of an insulating material or a semiconductive material. Preferably, the pressed wire 101 in this embodiment is a nano-scale insulating material. Compared with the adoption of a conductive material, the discharge intensity of the whole electrode is easier to control, the pressing wire 101 does not participate in discharge, and the influence and the interference of the pressing wire 101 on the discharge of the structure of the spiral electrode 1 can be greatly reduced. Optionally, the pressing line 101 is any one of polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, polyamide fiber, and aramid fiber. Or, the pressed line 101 is made of one or more of a fluorine fiber line, a fine nylon line and an aramid fiber line. Of course, the pressed wire 101 is not limited to the above-described material, and may be made of another insulating material.

Most preferably, the press wire 101 is a polytetrafluoroethylene fiber due to the good ability of the polytetrafluoroethylene fiber material to adsorb and release electrons. In the embodiment, the glow discharge generated by the structure of the spiral electrode 1 is dielectric barrier discharge, the pressing line 101 is made of an insulated polytetrafluoroethylene fiber material, and has good capability of adsorbing and releasing electrons, so that electrons can be adsorbed in the alternating current positive half-cycle discharge process to provide electrons for negative half-cycle discharge, the discharge is facilitated, and the influence on the electrode discharge uniformity after the carbon fiber electrode 12 is pressed is avoided. The better the ability of the pressed wire 101 to attract and release electrons, the better the electrical discharge produced.

In the present embodiment, the pressing wire 101 is preferably a wire bundle with a small diameter, and is tightly wound around the outer surface of the carbon fiber electrode 12 to press burrs on the surface of the carbon fiber electrode 12. Setting the diameter of the pressing wire 101 to be small can prevent the pressing wire 101 from wrapping the surface of the carbon fiber electrode 12, which would result in hindering the discharge of the carbon fiber electrode 12. Preferably, the pressing line 101 has a diameter D5,0.005 mm. ltoreq. D5. ltoreq.3 mm. For example, in the present embodiment, polytetrafluoroethylene fibers having a diameter of 0.1mm are used for the press wire 101.

Optionally, the inner electrode 11 is a metal conductive rod, and the cross section of the inner electrode 11 is circular, oval, rectangular or other polygonal shape. Preferably, the inner electrode 11 is circular in cross-section. Preferably, the inner electrode 11 is a silver-plated copper wire, and the inner electrode 11 has a better conductive effect due to the adoption of the silver-plated copper wire.

The thickness of the polytetrafluoroethylene layer is D4, and D4 is more than or equal to 0.15mm and less than or equal to 0.3 mm. When the thickness of the teflon insulating layer 13 is within the above range, the spiral electrode 1 structure has a low corona-starting voltage, and the insulating layer 13 is not easily broken down. For example, in the present embodiment, the insulating layer 13 is made of 0.2mm thick teflon, and the teflon can be uniformly sprayed on the outer surface of the inner electrode 11 by a spraying process to form the insulating layer 13.

Alternatively, the carbon fiber electrode 12 is spirally wound from one end to the other end of the inner electrode 11, and the pressing wire 101 is reversely wound and pressed against the outside of the carbon fiber electrode 12. The pressed wire 101 is also spirally wound from one end of the inner electrode 11 to the other end in the opposite direction to the carbon fiber electrode 12. The pressing line 101 is not only convenient to operate by adopting a reverse winding pressing mode, but also the pressing line 101 is not easy to separate from the carbon fiber electrode 12, and the pressing effect is more reliable.

Optionally, the pitch of the winding of the carbon fiber electrode 12 is set to D1, and the pitch of the winding of the pressing wire 101 is set to D2, wherein: 1/2D1 is not less than D2 is not less than D1. The range of the spiral pitch D2 of the winding of above-mentioned suppression line 101 is the optimum range that obtains through a large amount of experiments, D2 when being in this scope, the discharge effect is the best, can avoid effectively the spiral pitch overlength of suppression line 101, the winding is too sparse can not play good suppression effect, produces more burr, can avoid the spiral pitch of suppression line 101 too short again, and the winding too compact can influence carbon fiber electrode 12 and normally discharge.

In this embodiment, the diameter of the pressing wire 101 is as small as possible, and the pressing wire 101 is wound around the carbon fiber electrode 12 according to a set pitch range, so that the carbon fiber electrode 12 is not completely wrapped while burrs can be effectively suppressed, and the carbon fiber electrode 12 is still partially exposed in an external environment, thereby effectively ensuring that glow discharge can be realized by using the characteristics of the carbon fiber material of the spiral electrode 1 structure, and normal discharge of the spiral electrode 1 structure is not affected.

Preferably, the pitch of the winding of the pressed wire 101 is equal to the pitch of the carbon fiber electrode 12, or is half of the pitch of the carbon fiber electrode 12.

Optimally, the pitch of the winding of the pressed wire 101 is equal to the pitch of the carbon fiber electrode 12. And the winding angle of the pressed wire 101 is the same as that of the carbon fiber electrode 12. Through the design, the pressing line 101 can be reliably pressed outside the carbon fiber electrode 12, so that the generation of burrs is effectively inhibited, and meanwhile, the influence on the normal discharge of the carbon fiber electrode 12 can be avoided.

Specifically, the pressing line 101 is tightly pressed outside the carbon fiber electrode 12, and two ends of the pressing line are respectively provided with at least one extra circle, the extra circle is directly wound and fixed outside the insulating layer 13, and is adhered and fixed on the inner electrode 11 through an adhesive or glue or an adhesive tape, so that the pressing line 101 can be stably fixed on the electrode and cannot fall off, and the pressing line is firmly pressed outside the carbon fiber electrode 12.
