  In the conventional air cleaning apparatus as described above, since there is no self-cleaning function and only the contaminated air passes through the filter, the deposition speed of dust adhering to the filter is high, and the filter replacement period is shortened. There was a problem that the filter had to be changed frequently. In addition, there is a problem that dust and tobacco odor components adhere to the inside of the duct through which contaminated air passes and the inside of the fan unit, and the air discharged from the discharge port gives off a bad odor.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems. The object of the present invention is to provide a self-cleaning action to the apparatus itself, and to relatively slow the speed of dust adhering to the filter, thereby replacing the filter. It is in extending. Another object of the present invention is to reduce adverse effects of odors caused by long-term use by decomposing with odor components such as dust and cigarettes adhering to the inside of a duct or blower.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a blower that discharges air sucked through a filter, a first air passage that guides the air discharged from the blower to the outside of the device, and the inside of the first air passage. And a second air passage that recirculates a part of the air discharged into the first air passage and discharged from the ion generator to the blower through the filter. It is equipped with.

  According to the present invention, the invention according to claim 1 is accommodated in a table machine provided between a pair of adjacent game machines, and the air discharged to the first air passage on the front plate of the table machine. Is provided with an air outlet for blowing out the outside of the inter-machine.

  According to the present invention, a part of the air from which ions are released recirculates to the filter side, so that the ions decompose and remove dust and germs attached to the filter. Since the filter can be relatively delayed, the filter replacement period can be extended. In addition, since a part of the air from which ions have been released recirculates to the blower, the ions carried along with the air decompose the odor components such as dust and cigarettes attached to the blower. The adverse effects of odor due to the use of the period can be reduced.

  According to one of the inventions described above, the air blown out from the air outlet of the intermediary machine functions as an air curtain that partitions the air environment of the game machine at the boundary, so that tobacco smoke is emitted to adjacent players. Flow can be regulated.
