Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a negative ion generator using a powder of ore having natural polarization.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art "Atomic groups such as charged atoms or molecules" are called ions. A lot of ions exist in the natural world and the atmosphere, and those with a positive charge are called positive ions, and in a new house, a room with many electric appliances, a place with a lot of car exhausts or a smoking place, the environment of positive ions, air It is said that many of these positive ions have effects on the human body and imperfect autonomic nerves, causing dizziness, headache, irritability, and neurosis.

On the other hand, it is said that an environment with a lot of negative ions and air are often found in forest plants and trees in places with high humidity, near waterfall fountains and hot springs. In these places, improvement of body and respiratory function, mental stability, fatigue reduction, immunity. It is said to have the effect of improving power.

Therefore, an environment with a lot of negative ions is preferred, and a method of artificially generating and releasing negative ions and a corona discharge method using electricity as an object are available. There are water crushing method by release, ore method such as tourmaline, and radiation method using radioactive elements such as boronium and radon.

Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, but it is highly safe, easy to carry and install, and a method for easily generating and releasing negative ions. A method using an ore such as tourmaline is often used as an object. ing.

As a method using natural ores, tourmaline,
Zeolite, Roche salt, calcium strontium propionate and the like can be mentioned.

[0007] In particular, tourmaline is an object that has a permanent electric polarization as a tourmaline, and an object having a permanent electric polarization generates negative ions under a moving body, but tourmaline generates only a weak negative ion, which is not the case. Since it is a substance that does not exist, there are powders that emit a very small amount of radiation, such as Davi ore, carnotite, tallite, and thoriumite, which can generate a large amount of radiation. A method of mixing and using with JP-A
No. 1-220177.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-288679 describes a method of mixing with an inorganic porous material such as porous mud, diatomaceous earth and zeolite. It emits radiation, which may cause human injury due to inorganic metals.

Further, even if these are mixed with tourmaline, the amount of negative ions generated can only slightly increase from a weak state. With such a small amount of released negative ions, positive ions in the living environment and air It is difficult to expect the effect that it is easily neutralized by and has a positive effect on the living environment and the human body.

Nevertheless, there are many products on the market that generate negative ions by making these tourmaline and the above substances into ultrafine particles and adhering to the resin or fiber for a few percent or kneading. But,
These negative ions are much weaker and far from being able to keep living environment, personal belongings, etc. under negative ions at all times.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art and uses negative ions, which are noted to have a favorable effect on the body, using ores having a natural polarization, but the It is an object of the present invention to provide a substance that can be efficiently generated without using an ore that emits radiation.

[0012]

The inventors of the present invention have said that the anion generator principle of ores having natural polarization, such as tourmaline, is caused by its crystalline structure.
It is said that the tourmaline crystal has a pointed positive pole and a flat negative pole of the crystal, and an electric field is generated from this positive pole toward the negative pole, and negative ions are generated from the negative pole. And, when two different substances or objects of the same type are rubbed or separated, attention is paid to the fact that electrons or ions move between the substances to generate static electricity, and by utilizing this phenomenon, Solved the problem.

That is, the ore powder having a natural polarization does not generate a negative ion due to no polarization difference in a stationary state, but it generates a negative ion although it is weak when static electricity is generated due to friction, peeling, movement or the like. It was also found that a large amount of negative ions are generated when static electricity is forcibly applied to the ore powder having such a natural polarization, and as a result, an electrostatically charged object is contacted with the ore powder having a natural polarization. By doing so, the electric field balance of the ore crystal having natural polarization is disturbed, and a polarization difference is generated, so that strong negative ions can be generated.

Then, as a result of various studies on the substance to be brought into contact with the ore powder having spontaneous polarization, it was found that the organic fluororesin compound was extremely strongly charged for a long time due to slight friction or peeling, and it was found that The desired result was obtained by bringing the negatively charged one into contact with ore powder having a spontaneous polarization.

When an object is charged with static electricity, it is charged either positively or negatively. As organic compounds which are easily charged with positive static electricity, there are polyester resin, nylon resin, natural animal hair, polyvinyl chloride resin and the like. As organic compounds that are easily charged with negative static electricity, there are fluororesins, polyethylene resins, vinylon resins, acrylic resins, etc., and powder, especially the smaller the particle size, the larger the surface area, and the easier it is to be charged with static electricity. .

These objects can be easily charged with static electricity,
Further, the positive and negative charges can be freely charged by the electric self-discharge method, the voltage impression method, the pulse direct current method, the steady direct current method, or the like, and the extremely high chargeability can be provided. Particularly, in the pulse direct current method, strong positive or negative high chargeability can be obtained more easily.

However, all of the ordinary substances have an electrostatically charged state which decreases in an extremely short time.
Among organic fluororesin compounds, they are extremely strong and can be charged for a long time, and in addition, they can easily give a strong high chargeability by a pulsed DC method using electricity, and in most cases, they are charged negatively. It turns out that there are peculiar properties.

Therefore, in the present invention, the ore powder having the natural polarization is brought into contact with the negatively charged organic fluororesin compound so that the ore powder having the natural polarization generates a large amount of negative ions.

As the ore powder having spontaneous polarization, it is preferable to use tourmaline powder or a powder containing it. Even if the organic fluororesin compound is used in a state of being negatively charged by previously electrically charging. Alternatively, after contacting and mixing with tourmaline powder, it may be electrically charged to be negatively charged, but it is preferable to use a negatively charged organic fluororesin compound in advance with ore powder having natural polarization. It is more effective in terms of negative ion emission.

Generally, it is preferable that both the ore having the natural polarization and the organic fluororesin compound are powders having a particle size of 1 mm or less and the mixing ratio thereof is 1/99 to 99/1. When the particle size of these powders exceeds 1 mm, the contact points and the surface area are reduced, so that the release of negative ions is reduced and it becomes difficult to obtain the desired effect. The contact / mixing ratio of the ore powder having natural polarization and the organic fluororesin compound powder is particularly preferably 10:90 to 50:50.

A resin molding containing a mixture of an ore powder having a natural polarization and an organic fluororesin compound, or a coating material containing an ore powder having a natural polarization and an organic fluororesin compound is produced, and the resulting product is used as a cloth, paper or wood. The negative ion generator may be applied to equipment such as plastic or metal. In this case, the organic fluororesin compound may be negatively charged after the resin molded body is manufactured or after the coating material is applied.

A typical example of the organic fluororesin compound used in the present invention is polytetrafluoroethylene.
Ethylene copolymer resin, polytetrafluoroethylene / propylene copolymer resin, polytetrafluoroethylene / perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer resin, polytetrafluoroethylene / hexafluoropropylene copolymer resin, polytetrafluoroethylene / hexafluoropropylene / perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer Examples thereof include resins, polytetrafluoroethylene resins, polyvinyl fluoride resins, polyvinylidene fluoride resins, polychlorotrifluoroethylene resins, and polychlorotrifluoroethylene / ethylene copolymer resins. In each case, a commercially available product can be used.

In the present invention, the powder of ore having a natural polarization and the powder of the negatively charged organic fluororesin organic compound are put into a cylindrical rotating device having a plurality of openings around it. It is also possible to make the product capable of producing a large amount of negative ions by rotating the product. In this case, it is preferable to attach a filter to the outer circumference (or inner circumference) of the rotating device so that the powder mixture does not leak, but this filter is also negatively charged with the ore powder having natural polarization. It is preferable that the powder of the ore having a spontaneous polarization and the negatively charged organic fluororesin organic compound are contained together, for example, by using a cloth coated with a coating containing the organic fluororesin organic compound. In particular,
By making the rotating device made of aluminum,
It enables the generation of amazing negative ions.
