Detailed Description

First, it should be noted that the following embodiments are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Next, in order to better explain the present invention, numerous specific details are set forth in the following detailed description. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details.

In the description of the present invention, the terms "inner", "outer", "top", "bottom", etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on directions or positional relationships in actual use, which are merely for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the apparatus to be protected must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

The positive and negative ion generator has a positive ion generating electrode connected to a positive high voltage and a negative ion generating electrode connected to a negative high voltage, and the electrodes are usually tungsten needles or graphite electrodes. When the two electrodes are connected with electricity, corona is generated between the two electrodes, outer layer electrons of certain atoms in the air are separated from the orbit to become free electrons under the action of the corona, and the atoms losing the electrons are in positive polarity; the free electrons are negative-electrode, and because the separated free electrons cannot independently exist in the space for a long time, the free electrons can be combined with other nonpolar molecules in the air, so that the part of gas molecules obtaining the electrons are negative-electrode (for example, negative oxygen ions are generated), and the process is called air ionization. When negative ions in the air are combined with microbes such as bacteria and viruses in the air, molecular protein structures of the microbes such as the bacteria and the viruses can be damaged, structural change or energy transfer is generated, and therefore the microbes such as the bacteria and the viruses die, and the sterilization effect is achieved. Therefore, the ion sterilization has a better sterilization effect than the ultraviolet sterilization because the positive and negative ions generated by the ion generator can be diffused to any indoor area along with the air outlet of the air conditioner, thereby achieving the indoor omni-directional sterilization.
