DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a hay fever prevention and symptom alleviation system for preventing the occurrence of hay fever and alleviating the symptoms of hay fever.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hay fever is one of the allergic diseases represented by the four major symptoms of paroxysmal recurrent sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, and itchy eyes. Is in the pollen that scatters. When the pollen adheres to the nasal cavity and mucous membrane of the eyes, it absorbs and swells there, breaking its outer membrane and releasing countless antigenic substances therefrom. This antigenic substance penetrates into the body through mucous membranes, causing a sudden allergic reaction, ie, hay fever.

[0003]

As a method for preventing hay fever, there is a method for physically preventing the invasion of pollen into the body by using a mask or glasses. Some pollutants are rendered harmless using ultraviolet light or corona discharge. However, it is difficult to physically block or render all pollen physically harmless. The most common method of preventing or treating hay fever is to absorb orally or nasally a drug or the like into the body that prevents an allergic reaction from occurring due to antigen substances that have entered the body. There is something that works with. However, the effect of such a drug cannot be maintained unless a predetermined amount of the drug is continuously taken or administered at a predetermined time every day. In addition, there is also a problem that the effect of the drug varies from person to person, and the drug causes side effects.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of hay fever even if pollen enters the body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hay fever prevention and symptom alleviating system which can easily act on a human body and alleviate symptoms without performing complicated treatments such as administration.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hay fever prevention and symptom alleviating system for controlling the occurrence of hay fever by causing a person to inhale air containing a predetermined concentration of ozone generated from an ozone generator. It prevents or alleviates the symptoms of hay fever.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hay fever prevention and symptom alleviating system for preventing hay fever by filling a living space of a person with air containing a predetermined concentration of ozone generated from an ozone generator. Or to alleviate the symptoms.

An ozone generator is used to generate low-concentration ozone and cause a person to inhale the ozone as described in claim 1 or to make a living space of a person have a predetermined concentration as described in claim 2. By filling with ozone, low concentrations of ozone are absorbed into the body, and the ozone exposes the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose, acts on cellular tissues, and is exposed to the myriad of antigenic substances released from cedar pollen. Allergic reactions are alleviated, and hay fever symptoms do not occur.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an ozone generator used in the hay fever prevention and symptom alleviation system of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the ozone generator, and FIGS.
It is the side view which looked at the ozone generator of (a) from the right side.
FIGS. 1B and 1C show the case where the position of the internal component (mixing ratio adjusting plate 6) is different.

This ozone generator comprises an air supply fan 1, a main body casing 2, an ozone mixing / discharging section 3, an ultraviolet lamp 4, a stabilizer 5, and a mixing ratio adjusting plate 6. The air supply fan 1 rotates at a predetermined rotation speed in accordance with the electric power supplied from the ballast 5, and blows a predetermined flow rate of air to the main body housing 2 per minute. The main body housing 2 has a square cross section and a hollow rectangular parallelepiped at both ends, and is made of a corrosion-resistant material that is resistant to corrosion and heat, for example, stainless steel.

A partition plate 21 is provided near the center of the internal cavity of the main body casing 2, and fluid paths 22 and 23 are formed by the partition plate 21 and are divided into upper and lower systems. Since the two fluid paths 22 and 23 have the same cross-sectional area, the air supply fan 1 blows air at substantially the same flow rate. Partition plate 2 on fluid path 22 side
An ultraviolet lamp 4 is provided on 1, and a ballast 5 is provided on the opposite side, that is, on a partition plate 21 on the fluid path 23 side.

The ultraviolet lamp 4 is composed of a mercury lamp or the like that generates ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 184.9 nm. The ultraviolet lamp 4 is connected to the ballast 5 via a power line 51.
The ballast 5 supplies a predetermined power to the ultraviolet lamp 4 via the power line 51. The mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 is connected to the fluid paths 22 and 2.
3, which adjusts the mixing ratio of the fluid to be discharged and is constituted by a stainless steel plate. The ozone mixing / discharging unit 3 mixes the air containing ozone that has passed through the fluid path 22 and the air that has passed through the fluid path 23, and discharges the air containing ozone diluted to a predetermined concentration from the outlet 32.

The ozone mixing / discharging section 3 has a guide groove which allows the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 to slide up and down. The mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 is fixed at a predetermined position along the guide groove of the ozone mixing and discharging unit 3. An overhang plate 34 is provided near the outlet of the fluid path 22, and an overhang plate 35 is provided near the outlet of the fluid path 23. Therefore, the air containing ozone discharged from the fluid passage 22 passes through the upper opening of the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 as shown by the arrow line 36, passes through the lower opening of the overhang plate 34, and passes through the arrow line 38. As described above, the sheet is discharged from the upper opening of the overhang plate 35, that is, the discharge port 32. On the other hand, the air discharged from the fluid passage 23 passes through the lower opening of the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 as indicated by an arrow 37, and the upper opening of the overhanging plate 35, ie, the outlet 32 as indicated by an arrow 38. Discharged from Air containing ozone discharged from the fluid path 22;
The normal air discharged from the fluid path 23 is indicated by an arrow 3
6 near the collision of the arrow line 37 with the overhanging plate 34 and the overhanging plate 35 so that the air containing ozone diluted to a predetermined concentration is discharged from the outlet 32. become.

The ozone concentration of the air discharged from the outlet 32 is adjusted by appropriately adjusting the position of the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6. That is, the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 is
When the air is blown from the air supply fan 1, the air blown from the air supply fan 1 passes only through the fluid path 23 and is discharged from the discharge port 32. The ozone concentration shows a value close to zero as much as possible. Conversely, when the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 is at a position that closes the discharge port of the fluid path 23, the air blown from the air supply fan 1 passes only through the fluid path 22 and passes through the discharge port 3.
2, the ozone concentration of the discharged air has a maximum value. Note that the maximum value of the ozone concentration is the upper limit concentration (0.1 p
pm) is desirably designed.

For example, when the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6 is located at a position as shown in FIG. 1B or 1C, the ozone concentration of the air discharged from the outlet 32 is controlled by the mixing ratio adjusting plate 6. Area of outlet of blocked fluid path 22 and fluid path 2
3 is almost proportional to the area ratio of the discharge ports. FIG.
In the case of (b), the area ratio is about 3: 7, and the ozone concentration is about 0.03 ppm. When the ozone concentration is almost in the vicinity of the center as shown in FIG. 5: 5, and the ozone concentration is about 0.05 ppm, which is half of the maximum value. The ozone concentration can be adjusted by controlling the rotation speed of the air supply fan 1 and controlling the flow rate.

A low-concentration ozone is generated by using an ozone generator as shown in FIG. 1, and a living space of a person is filled with a predetermined concentration of ozone. Alternatively, the face may be brought close to the outlet 32 and breathing may be performed for a predetermined time. As a result, low concentrations of ozone are absorbed into the body, the ozone exposes the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose, acts on cell tissues, and alleviates the sudden allergic reaction caused by the myriad antigens released from cedar pollen. The symptoms of the disease no longer occur.

A timer may be added to the ozone generator of the above-described embodiment so that the device operates every day for a predetermined time. It goes without saying that using an ozone generator other than the ozone generator shown in FIG. 1 also has the effect of preventing hay fever and alleviating the symptoms. Further, in the above embodiment, the ultraviolet lamp 4 has a wavelength of 184.9.
Although an example in which ultraviolet light of nm is generated is described,
One that generates ultraviolet rays having peaks at both the wavelengths of 4.9 nm and 253.7 nm may be used, or an ultraviolet lamp that generates a wavelength of 253.7 nm may be separately provided on the fluid path 23 side. . Wavelength 253.7 for pollen
When ultraviolet rays of nm are irradiated, pollen is inactivated and rendered harmless by the action of the ultraviolet rays. Therefore, both the effect of ozone on the human body and the effect of ultraviolet light on pollen effectively prevent hay fever and alleviate symptoms.

[0017]

According to the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of hay fever even when pollen invades the body, and to carry out complicated treatments such as regular taking and administration such as drugs. This has the effect that it can be easily applied to the human body to alleviate the symptoms without performing.
