(Embodiment 1)
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, it is based on the upper and lower sides and right and left in FIG.

  The in-vehicle air conditioner according to the present embodiment is formed on an electrostatic atomizer 2 that discharges nanometer-sized charged fine particle water into a vehicle and a seat back 12 of a seat 1A disposed in the vehicle as shown in FIG. A suction port 12a and a fan (suction means) 3 for sucking charged particulate water in the vehicle through the suction port 12a. Here, the charged fine particle water is sprayed around the human body, especially the upper body side to replenish moisture to the human hair, prevent overdrying of the hair, and further give a treatment effect to the hair surface. Can give gloss and moisture to hair. In addition, since the charged fine particle water is weakly acidic, it has an effect of making hair supple. In addition, since the particle size of the charged fine particle water is about 3 to several tens of nanometers and smaller than 70 nm, which is the size of the horny cells of the human body, exposure to the charged fine particle water leads to the depth of the stratum corneum surface. Moisture is sufficiently replenished, and a high moisturizing effect is obtained on the skin.

  FIG. 2 shows an atomization unit portion of the electrostatic atomizer 2, which is arranged in a ring-like shape that is disposed at the tip opening of a cylindrical body 26 made of an insulating material surrounding the discharge electrode 21 and faces the discharge electrode 21. The counter electrode 22, a cooling means 23 that condenses moisture in the air on the discharge electrode 21 by cooling the discharge electrode 21, and a high-voltage power supply unit 24 that applies a high voltage between the discharge electrode 21 and the counter electrode 22. The cooling means 23, which is composed of Peltier elements and in which the discharge electrode 21 is thermally connected to the cooling side, is provided with heat radiation fins 25 on the heat radiation side.

  In addition, the electrostatic atomizer 2 includes a motor fan (not shown) that sends cooling air to the heat radiating fins 25, and part of the air sent from the motor fan is an opening formed on the side surface of the cylindrical body 26. It enters into the cylindrical body 26 through 26 a and is discharged from the discharge port 27 which is the front end opening of the cylindrical body 26.

  In the electrostatic atomizer 2, the cooling means 23 serves as a water supply means for generating condensed water on the discharge electrode 21 by condensing moisture in the air by cooling the discharge electrode 21. If a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode 21 and the counter electrode 22 with the dew condensation water adhering to the discharge electrode 21, the dew condensation water collects at the tip of the discharge electrode 21 and discharges between the counter electrode 22. As a result, Rayleigh splitting is repeated to form charged fine particle water, which is then discharged from the discharge port 27 to the outside by riding on the wind generated by the motor fan. The discharge port 27 of the electrostatic atomizer 2 communicates with the air passage 4a of the air conditioner 4 (air conditioner), and charged fine particle water rides on the air flow of the air conditioner 4 to the instrument panel 5. It is discharged into the vehicle through the air outlet 6 (see FIG. 3) of the air conditioner 4 formed. Therefore, since the electrostatic atomizer 2 does not require a new blowing means such as a fan for discharging charged fine particle water into the vehicle, the structure can be simplified. Here, the wind direction is adjusted so that the wind discharged from the air outlet 6 does not directly hit the person seated on the seat 1 </ b> A, thereby preventing the person from feeling uncomfortable.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the seat 1 </ b> A includes a seat portion 11, a seat back 12, and a headrest 13, and the suction port 12 a is formed on the upper end side of the seatback 12 close to the headrest 13. Further, a ventilation path 1a passing through the seat back 12 from the suction port 12a extends downward, expands the diameter below the seating portion 11, and the fan 3 is provided therein. Then, the charged particulate water in the vehicle is sucked by the fan 3 through the suction port 12a and the ventilation path 1a.

  Then, in the state where the person is seated on the seat, the charged fine particle water discharged from the electrostatic atomizer 2 through the outlet 6 flows around the head of the person seated on the seat 1A. By being sucked into the suction port 12a, the charged fine particle water concentrates around the human face and hair near the suction port 12a.

  As described above, by forming the suction port 12a on the headrest 13 side of the seat back 12, the charged fine particle water discharged into the vehicle is concentrated around the face and the hair. Further, the effect of moisturizing the skin can be enhanced, and furthermore, the air sucked into the suction port 12a prevents the stuffiness from the head to the shoulder and can provide a relaxing effect.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, pressure sensors 6 for detecting that a person is seated on the seating portion 11 are provided in the seating portions 11 of the plurality of seats 1 </ b> A provided in the vehicle. The controller 8 is connected to a controller 8 for turning on / off the suction operation by the fan 3.

  First, when a person is seated on the seating section 11, the pressure sensor 6 transmits a detection signal to the control section 8, and the control section 8 that has received the detection signal operates the fan 3. When the person leaves the seating unit 11, the pressure sensor 6 stops transmitting the detection signal to the control unit 8, and the control unit 8 stops the fan 3.

  In this way, in the vehicle, a person who is seated with charged particulate water in the vehicle by performing a suction operation only from a seat on which a person is seated and not performing a suction operation on a seat on which a person is not seated. Therefore, the concentration of the charged fine particle water on the upper body side of the seated person can be further increased, and the effect of the charged fine particle water can be further enhanced.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the discharge port 27 of the electrostatic atomizer 2 is connected with the ventilation path 4a of the air conditioner 4, the charged particulate water rides on the wind discharged from the air conditioner 4 and the inside However, as shown in FIG. 6, the electrostatic atomizer 2 may be provided on the ceiling of the car, and in that case, the discharge port 27 of the electrostatic atomizer 2 is directed toward the human head. By discharging the charged fine particle water, the charged fine particle water can be emitted from a position closer to the human head and face. As described above, by discharging charged fine particle water from the human head, effects such as improvement of hair quality and moisturizing skin by the charged fine particle water can be further enhanced. The electrostatic atomizer 2 may be provided at an arbitrary position in the vehicle, and only the discharge port may be provided on the ceiling.
