  The handrail bar H is a bar on which a person puts a hand, and is provided in a substantially horizontal state in, for example, a hallway or a passage. The handrail bar H may be a so-called solid bar that is not hollow, or a hollow bar. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the handrail bar H may be a circular shape shown in the drawing or a square shape.

  The bracket 10 is provided between the handrail bar H and the wall surface W, and supports the handrail bar H fixed to the wall surface W. The bracket 10 includes a mounting seat 11, an arm portion 12, a handrail bar mounting portion 13, and a cover member 14.

  The mounting seat 11 is formed integrally with the arm portion 12 and the handrail bar mounting portion 13 and is made of a material having a strength that can withstand the load applied to the handrail rod H, such as a metal. The mounting seat 11 is fixed by bringing the seating surface 11a into contact with the wall surface W and screwing with a screw (not shown). The mounting seat 11 includes a plurality of through holes 11b for screwing.

When viewed from the front, the cover member 14 has substantially the same shape as the surface of the mounting seat 11 excluding the connecting portion with the arm portion 12 and is fitted to the mounting seat 11. The cover member 14 is attached so as to cover the mounting seat 11 from the front of the mounting seat 11 after fixing the mounting seat 11 to the wall surface W.

  Next, the detailed configuration of the cover member 14 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8 in addition to FIG. 3. 4, 5, and 6 are a front view, a side view, and a horizontal sectional view of the cover member 14. FIG. 7 is a plan view of a circuit board of the ion generator, and FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram of the ion generator.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cover member 14 has a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front, and a U-shaped cutout portion 14 a for avoiding interference with the arm portion 12 is provided in the center portion. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of protrusions 14 b for fitting into the mounting seat 11 are provided on the side surface of the cover member 14. The protrusion 14 b protrudes inward to engage with the mounting seat 11.

  Further, the cover member 14 includes an ion generator 20 inside as shown in FIG. For this reason, the cover member 14 includes two ion release holes 14p and 14n for releasing ions on the front surface thereof.

  The ion generator 20 is provided in a space between the front inner surface of the cover member 14 and the mounting seat 11. The ion generator 20 includes a circuit board 20a configured with the circuit shown in FIG. 8 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The circuit board 20a includes a high-voltage electricity generator 21, a positive ion generator 22P, and a negative ion generator 22N.

  The high-voltage electricity generating unit 21 is a circuit that receives a power supply from the outside and generates a high-voltage electricity pulse. The high-voltage electricity generation unit 21 includes a pulse generation circuit for applying high-voltage electricity, a high-voltage transformer 21a that converts the electric pulse into a high-voltage pulse, and a rectifier that rectifies the high-voltage pulse.

  The positive ion generator 22P includes a positive discharge electrode 23P and a positive induction electrode 24P, and the negative ion generator 22N includes a negative discharge electrode 23N and a negative induction electrode 24N. The positive discharge electrode 23P and the negative discharge electrode 23N are each formed in a needle shape protruding from the circuit board 20a toward the ion emission holes 14p and 14n, and are arranged in a substantially horizontal direction at predetermined intervals. The positive induction electrode 24P is formed in an annular shape centering on the positive discharge electrode 23P, and faces the positive discharge electrode 23P. Similarly, the negative induction electrode 24N is formed in an annular shape centering on the negative discharge electrode 23N and faces the negative discharge electrode 23N.

Similarly, the role of the negative induction electrode 24N is configured to be performed by the ion emission hole 14n. Further, in order to prevent a person using the ion generator 1 from touching the positive discharge electrode 23P and the negative discharge electrode 23N, the diameters of the ion emission holes 14p and 14n are set to 6 mm, for example, and the positive discharge electrode 23P and the negative discharge electrode 23N. The distance between the cover member 14 and the cover member 14 is, for example, 3 mm.

  Further, the structure of the positive discharge electrode 23P and the negative discharge electrode 23N is not limited to the needle-like electrode, and may be a pattern electrode formed on an insulating substrate or a discharge line.

  Both the positive ion generator 22P and the negative ion generator 22N have the same structure. The positive discharge electrode 23P and the negative discharge electrode 23N are supplied with the high voltage generated by the high-voltage electricity generator circuit, respectively. A discharge is generated between the negative induction electrode 24N and ions are emitted.

Here, a voltage having an AC waveform or an impulse waveform is applied to the positive discharge electrode 23P and the negative discharge electrode 23N of the ion generator 20. A positive voltage is applied to the positive discharge electrode 23P, and hydrogen ions generated by corona discharge combine with moisture in the air to generate positive ions mainly composed of H ⁺ (H ₂ O) m. A negative voltage is applied to the negative discharge electrode 23N, and oxygen ions generated by corona discharge combine with moisture in the air to generate negative ions mainly composed of O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) n. Here, m and n are arbitrary natural numbers. H ⁺ (H ₂ O) m and O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) n aggregate on the surface of airborne bacteria and odorous components and surround them.

Then, as shown in the formulas (1) to (3), the active species [.OH] (hydroxyl radical) and H ₂ O ₂ (hydrogen peroxide) are aggregated and formed on the surface of the microorganism or the like by collision. Destroy airborne bacteria and odorous components. Here, m ′ and n ′ are arbitrary natural numbers. Accordingly, positive ions are generated in the positive ion generation part 22P and released from the ion emission hole 14p, and negative ions are generated in the negative ion generation part 22N and emitted from the ion emission hole 14n, for example, in a hallway or passage space Can be sterilized and deodorized.

H ⁺ (H ₂ O) m + O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) n → OH + 1 / 2O ₂ + (m + n) H ₂ O (1)
_{^{H + (H 2 O) m}} + H + (H 2 O) m '+ O 2 - (H 2 O) n + O 2 - (H 2 O) n'
→ 2 OH + O ₂ + (m + m ′ + n + n ′) H ₂ O (2)
_{^{H + (H 2 O) m}} + H + (H 2 O) m '+ O 2 - (H 2 O) n + O 2 - (H 2 O) n'
→ H ₂ O ₂ + O ₂ + (m + m ′ + n + n ′) H ₂ O (3)

  In the present embodiment, positive ions and negative ions are generated by the ion generator 20, but only positive ions or only negative ions may be generated.

  In the present invention, the ions include charged fine water particles. At this time, the ion generator 20 consists of an electrostatic atomizer, and the charged atomized water particles containing a radical component are produced | generated by the electrostatic atomizer. That is, condensation water is generated on the surface of the discharge electrode by cooling the discharge electrode provided in the electrostatic atomizer by the Peltier element. Next, when a negative high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode, fine water particles charged from the condensed water are generated. Also, negative ions released into the air are generated along with the charged fine water particles from the discharge electrode.

  The ion generator 20 may be composed of an electrostatic atomizer that generates either positive ions or negative ions and fine water particles charged to a polarity opposite to that of the positive ions or negative ions. When negative ions or negatively charged fine water particles are generated, in addition to sterilization and deodorization of the space, a relaxing effect is also born.

  Although the ion generator 1 was demonstrated using the bracket 10 generally called the "intermediate bracket" installed between the longitudinal direction both ends of the handrail stick H as shown in FIG. 1, the bracket which has the attachment seat 11 For example, another configuration shown in FIG. 9 may be used. FIG. 9 is an external perspective view showing an application example of the ion generator 1 and shows a bracket 10 generally called an “end bracket” installed at the end of the handrail bar H. FIG.

  As described above, the ion generator 1 includes the bracket 10 connected to the handrail rod H and the ion generator 20 that emits ions into the air provided in the bracket 10, so that the ion generator 20 is driven. As a result, ions are released from the bracket 10 into the air. An apparatus such as an air purifier is not installed on the floor, and the external shape is not different from that of a normal handrail bracket, so that the ion generator 1 does not hinder human traffic.

  In addition, since the ion generator 20 is incorporated in the cover member 14 that covers the surface of the bracket 10, the ion generator 20 is accommodated in the cover member 14. Thereby, the ion generator 20 can be easily replaced in addition to not hindering human traffic.

The ion generator 20 generates positive ions composed of H ⁺ (H ₂ O) m (m is an arbitrary natural number) and negative ions composed of O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) n (n is an arbitrary natural number). Since it is generated, floating bacteria and odor components such as corridors and passages can be destroyed by positive ions and negative ions, and sterilization and deodorization can be performed.

  Further, the ion generator 20 includes an electrostatic atomizer that generates charged fine water particles. Moreover, the ion generator 20 consists of an electrostatic atomizer that generates either positive ions or negative ions and fine water particles charged to the opposite polarity of the positive ions or negative ions. Thereby, for example, when negatively charged fine water particles are generated, a relaxing effect can be produced in addition to sterilization and deodorization of the space.

  And according to the structure of the said embodiment of this invention, it does not necessarily install apparatuses, such as an air cleaner, on a floor surface, but ion shape from the ion generator 1 whose appearance shape does not change at all from the bracket for normal handrails. Can be released. Therefore, it is possible to provide an ion generator 1 capable of emitting ions into the air with a space-saving structure that does not occupy a lot of installation space and does not hinder human traffic. it can.

  In general, the interval between adjacent brackets 10 that support the handrail bar H is recommended to be about 90 cm. That is, the ion generator 20 is also arranged at an interval of about 90 cm. Thus, it can be expected that the ion concentration in the space such as the corridor or the passage is maintained uniformly by arranging the ion generators 20 along the corridor or the passage at equal intervals.

  When a plurality of brackets 10 provided with the ion generators 20 are installed along the handrail rod H, it is common to operate the ion generators 20 simultaneously. On the other hand, it may be configured so as to be able to respond to human movement using a human sensor, and only some of the plurality of ion generators 20 may be operated. For example, only the ion generator 20 at a position where the presence of a person is sensed or only the ion generator 20 including the vicinity thereof may be operated. In addition, each ion generator 20 may be controlled to operate independently.
