Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an existing negative ion generator, characterized in that the negative ion generator is provided with a negative ion generator other than the method used in the negative ion generator. And a hybrid negative ion generator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as the effects of negative ions have been recognized, many types of negative ion generators have been developed, and when a patent search is conducted, a considerable number of application examples can be obtained. An existing development project is a case in which one negative ion generator is provided with only one type of negative ion generator. For example, in the case of an air purifier, the negative ion generator is one type of negative ion generator. It often has a discharge type or one type of filter type (frictional charging type). Also, for example,
In the case of a ventilator, the negative ion generating means often has one type of discharge type or one type of filter type. For example, in the case of an air conditioner, the negative ion generating means often has one type of discharge type or one type of Leonard effect utilization type.

[0003] Regarding the generation amount of negative ions, the general generation amount of the Leonard effect utilization method is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 3047230, a negative ion production method, a negative ion generator using the method, an air cleaning device, and an air heating device. It is proposed in the claim of the humidity device, and 0.5 × 10 9 or more per cubic meter of air (The used ion tester is “Ion counter type KST-900” manufactured by Kobe Denpa Co., Ltd.) Examples of this are known.

[0004] For this reason, the amount of negative ions generated by the discharge method is generally larger than the amount of negative ions generated by the method using the Leonard effect, and the amount of negative ions generated by the discharge method is higher than that of the filter type (triboelectric charging method).
Is smaller than the amount of negative ions generated by the method using the Leonard effect.

The amount of negative ions generated by the discharge method is proportional to the amount of discharge between the electrodes, the amount of negative ions generated by the method using the Leonard effect is proportional to the particle energy of water, and the amount of negative ions generated by the filter method (triboelectric charging method). The amount of generated ions is said to be proportional to the air flow rate and velocity.

[0006] Natural oxide minerals are compounds in which negative ions of oxygen are combined with positive ions of metal elements to form a compound, and ionize air by external stimuli such as vibration, heat and friction.

[0007] Naturally spontaneously polarized minerals are known to have electrodes at both ends of the crystal to maintain the potential permanently, to generate a piezoelectric effect, to generate far-infrared rays and to generate negative ions. It is known that the antibacterial effect and the deodorizing effect of the surroundings have a good effect on human health by utilizing the antibacterial effect and the deodorizing effect of the surroundings.

Further, it is known that natural radioactive minerals have characteristics of generating various kinds of trace radiation, far-infrared rays, magnetic field lines, negative ions, and the like at levels permitted by law, and have an antibacterial effect and an antibacterial effect around these. It is known that the negative ion effect is exerted on the surroundings while exerting the odor effect, but the application examples are limited at the moment,
Even if a prior art search is conducted, there are few known development examples.

[0009]

However, if an attempt is made to increase the amount of negative ions generated by the discharge method, the amount of ozone generated as a by-product also increases, and it is necessary to take measures to deal with the unpleasant odor peculiar to ozone. As a result, the cost of equipment increases because of the increase in the amount of negative ions generated by the filter method (triboelectric charging method). If an attempt is made to increase the amount of negative ions generated by the utilization method, the system becomes large and the energy used increases.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and for that purpose, it is possible to increase the amount of negative ions generated by a simple and inexpensive method, and the apparatus for that purpose is low. Because it can be manufactured at a price, it is possible to set product prices that are easy to spread, and it is possible to power up conventional devices such as discharge type, filter type (frictional charging type), Leonard effect utilizing type and other types. It is intended to provide a possible hybrid negative ion generator.
