DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for heating a powder of a material having spontaneous polarization, such as tourmaline, by generating a negative ion by exciting the powder with a very small amount of radiation and heating the powder to promote the generation. The present invention relates to a negative ion generating and warming implement for performing the following.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, heaters have been improved in functions such as improving heating efficiency and adding a deodorizing function by using a material having an excellent infrared radiation characteristic or a material having an excellent catalytic deodorizing performance for a heat generating portion. ing. On the other hand, negative ions are said to give a refreshing sensation and activate living cells, and have a favorable effect on living organisms. As a method of generating negative ions, a method using the Leonard effect due to the fragmentation of water particles in the air seen around the waterfall, a method using a discharge by applying a high voltage between the electrodes,
Further, there is one using tourmaline having spontaneous polarization.

[0003]

However, adding the negative ion generating function to a warming tool using the above-described configuration of the prior art has the following problems. The configuration in which negative ions are generated using the Leonard effect is inconvenient because water evaporates due to heat generated during warming and water must be constantly replenished. Further, a tank for containing water, a pump and a collision plate for injecting water, a water / water separation chamber, and the like are required, so that the apparatus is complicated, large, and expensive. In addition, water is also used on the warming equipment side, to avoid electric shocks for heat sources that use electricity, and to avoid unsafety for combustion type heat sources that use gas, etc., considering incomplete combustion. Safety measures such as a waterproof structure are indispensable. Those that use discharge,
It requires electrodes for discharge and a high-voltage power supply, and similarly, the device is complicated and large. Further, this method has a problem that ozone harmful to the human body is generated together with generation of negative ions. Further, although tourmaline has been attracting attention as a substance having a large permanent spontaneous polarization and generating negative ions, it has been confirmed from the results of experiments that tourmaline alone generates very little negative ions.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims at generating a negative ion, which has been noted to have a favorable effect on the body, in a simple and safe configuration during warming. And a negative ion generator containing a powder of tourmaline, which is a powder having, and a powder of an exciter, and generating a large amount of negative ions effectively by heat generated at the time of warming.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a negative ion generating and heating device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 1 is a heating unit main body, and 2 is a temperature control unit. FIG.
3 is a cross-sectional view of the heating unit main body 1. FIG. 3 is a planar heat radiator, 4
The string-shaped heater wires 4 and 5 which are heating means arranged in pressure contact with the planar heat radiator 3 are heat insulating materials. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the planar heat radiator 3. 6 is a coating film formed on the surface of the planar heat radiator 3, 7 and 8 are spontaneously polarized powder and exciter powder mixed and dispersed in the coating film 6, respectively, and 9 is a planar heat radiator 3 Of the base material. The planar heat radiating body 3 is heated by the heat generated by the string-shaped heater wire 4 to warm a human body or the like on the warming unit main body 1. The temperature controller 2 controls the temperature by turning on and off the power supply to the string-shaped heater wire 4. The warming device is generally called an electric carpet placed on the floor,
The heat insulating material 5 prevents the heat generated by the string-shaped heater wire 4 from escaping to the floor. The coating film 6 is heated by the heat generated by the string-shaped heater wire 4 through the base material 9, and the spontaneously polarized powder 7 and the exciter powder 8 mixed and dispersed in the coating film 6 are similarly heated. In the present embodiment, the coating film 6 is made of a synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin or polyvinyl chloride, and a spontaneous polarization powder 7 which is a powder of tourmaline having the largest spontaneous polarization among ores; It is formed by mixing a fine powder of a stone, a uranium ore, a gangueite, or a fine powder of an ore containing a part thereof with silica or the like, mixing with an excitator powder 8 which is sintered and then turned into a fine powder again. .
Immediately after a synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin or polyvinyl chloride is melted and applied to the surface of the base material 9, the spontaneously polarized powder 7 and the exciter powder 8 are sprayed on the coating film 6 to spread the coating film 6. It may be deposited and adhered.

In this embodiment, a synthetic resin such as a polyvinyl chloride foam or a thin acrylic resin is used for the base material 9, but the spontaneous polarization powder is applied to the base material 9 except for the coating film 6. The surface can also be formed by directly mixing the exciter powder 8 with the exciter powder 8. Next, the generation mechanism of negative ions will be described. The spontaneously polarized powder 7 is polarized to a positive pole and a negative pole. Without electrical neutralization, a high electric field is generated from the positive pole to the negative pole. Actually, it is considered that the surface of the spontaneously polarized powder 7 maintains electrical neutralization. However, when the radiation emitted from the exciter powder 8 passes through the inside or the surface of the spontaneously polarized powder 7, the radiation neutralizes the electrically neutralized state and promotes ion generation on the surface of the spontaneously polarized powder 7. I think that the. It is also believed that heating the spontaneously polarized powder 7 breaks the electrically neutralized state and promotes ion generation.

FIG. 4 shows the generation characteristics of negative ions.
In FIG. 4, a coating film in which only the spontaneously polarized powder 7 was mixed and a coating film in which the spontaneously polarized powder 7 and the exciter powder 8 were mixed were compared. The generation of negative ions is not recognized only by the spontaneously polarized powder 7. FIG. 5 shows the temperature dependence of negative ion generation. In FIG. 5, a result was obtained in which the generation of negative ions was promoted by heating. In the present embodiment, an electric carpet is used as a representative example, but an electric floor heating can be realized by forming a flooring using wood as the base material 9 of the planar heat radiator 3. In addition, hot water floor heating can be achieved by forming a circulation path of hot water instead of the string-shaped heater wire 4. Negative ions, which are often generated around forests and waterfalls, are said to activate the physiology of the body, promote the action of the autonomic nervous system, and have a positive effect on humans such as mental stability, recovery from fatigue, and deep sleep. In this embodiment, the generation of negative ions considered to be good for health can be effectively and safely performed at a low cost with a simple configuration at the time of warming.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view of a negative ion generating and heating tool according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
Reference numeral 10 denotes a housing, 11 denotes a tubular heater, and 12 denotes a reflector. FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the tubular heater 12. 13 is a sintered coating film, 14 is a tube, 15 is an insulator, and 16 is a linear heating element. When electricity is supplied to the tubular heater 11, heat is radiated from the surface of the sintered coating film 13, and heat reflection from the reflection plate 13 is added to heat the human body and the like. Tubular heater 11
Has a configuration in which a linear heating element 16 using nichrome is disposed at the center of a stainless steel tube 14 and the periphery thereof is filled with an insulator 15 such as magnesium oxide. After the surface of the tube 14 is roughened by annealing or the like to give an anchoring effect, the sintered coating film 13 is formed by mixing the spontaneous polarization powder 7 and the exciter powder 8 in alumina or the like. This is generally called a sheath heater formed by sintering. Thermal radiation of the tubular heater 11 is planar radiation from the surface of the sintered coating film 13 forming the outer periphery thereof,
Since the spontaneously polarized powder 7 and the exciter powder 8 are provided on the surface of the planar radiator and are heated at the time of heating, a negative ion generating effect can be obtained by the same generation mechanism as described above. As a matter of course, instead of the tubular heater 11, a nichrome wire-exposed heater may be arranged, and the sintered coating film 13 may be similarly provided on the surface thereof.

The same effect can be obtained by forming the sintered coating film 13 on the reflecting surface of the reflecting plate 13 made of aluminum or the like instead of sintering the surface of the tubular body 14. In this embodiment, an electric stove is used as a representative example.However, even in an apparatus that performs heating by planar heat radiation from a metal outer shell such as an oil heater, the sintered coating film is formed on the outer metal surface. By doing so, a similar negative ion generating effect can be obtained. This embodiment can effectively and safely generate negative ions at the time of warming at low cost without changing the conventional configuration.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view of a negative ion generating / heating device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
17 is a heating unit main body, 18 is a planar heat radiator, 19 is a housing,
Reference numeral 20 denotes an intake port, and 21 denotes an exhaust port. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the heating unit main body 17. 22 is a coating film, 23 is a heat collecting plate, 2
4 is a heater, 25-27 is an air current. 8 and 9, the heater 24 generates heat when energized, and an upward airflow is generated inside the housing 19. The air flow is
External cold air was sucked in the direction of the airflow 25 near the air inlet 20, and was constituted by a heater wire made of an alloy of iron, chromium, and aluminum in a quartz tube provided below the planar heat radiator 18. After being heated by a heater 24 generally called a quartz tube heater, the inside of the housing 19 rises in the direction of the airflow 26, heats the heat collecting plate 23 made of aluminum, and is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port 21. When the heat collecting plate 23 is heated, the temperature of the planar heat radiator 18 made of stainless steel rises due to heat conduction from the heat collecting plate 23, and as a result, the coating film 22 is heated. The space is heated by the warmed air discharged from the exhaust port 21 in the direction of the airflow 27, and the front surface of the heating unit main body 17 is heated by radiant heat from the planar heat radiator 18.

The coating film 22 is coated with the coating film 6 or the sintered coating film 1.
By forming in the same manner as in No. 3, a negative ion generating effect can be obtained by the same generation mechanism as described above. By forming the coating film 22 also on the surfaces of the heater 24 and the heat collecting plate 23, the effect of generating negative ions can be further enhanced. It is also possible to widen the negative ion generation surface by integrating the planar heat radiator 18 with the housing 19 and forming the coating film 22 on a part of or the front surface of the housing surface. Further, even if the heater 24 is replaced with a gas or oil combustion type heat source, the negative ion generating effect can be obtained similarly. In this embodiment, by adding a simple configuration to the heat source, both functions of heating and generating negative ions can be realized.

[0012]

According to the present invention, since the Leonard effect is not used, there is no need to use water, a pump, an air / water separation chamber, etc., and there is no need for waterproof treatment. Further, since discharge is not used, there is no need to use an electrode, a high-voltage power supply, or the like, and there is no generation of ozone harmful to the human body. In addition, since the powder having spontaneous polarization and the powder of the exciter are heated by using the heat at the time of warming, negative ions that are attracting attention because they have a favorable effect on the body can be efficiently generated. . As described above, it is possible to provide a completely new and highly safe negative ion generating and heating device in which a negative ion generating function is added at a low price in addition to the heat collecting function.
