[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art An ozone generator that generates ozone by reacting oxygen in air by high-voltage discharge is known. These ozone generators are used for various purposes such as sterilization and deodorization. Recently, small ones that are mainly used for deodorization in homes and offices have become widespread.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, conventional small ozone generators were not easy to carry around in homes and offices.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention]

 According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an ozone generator comprising: a case having a suction port provided on a back surface, an outlet provided on a front surface, and a handle provided on an upper portion; An ozone generating section for generating oxygen by reacting oxygen in the air by high-voltage discharge, blowing means for sucking air from the suction port and blowing it out from the outlet, and Since it has an ozone generating section that generates ozone by reacting oxygen contained in the air that moves, it can be easily carried using the handle. For this reason, for example, it is easy to move from one room in the home to another room, or change the place in the same room.

[0005] Incidentally, such a small-sized ozone generator is generally used, for example, near a wall. In the ozone generator according to the first aspect, the suction port for taking in air is provided on the back of the case, and the air outlet for air containing ozone is provided on the front, so that only the air outlet is provided in a normal use state. Becomes visible to the user. Therefore, it looks good when used.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the ozone generator according to the first aspect, the ozone generator adjusts the ozone concentration of the air blown out from the outlet by switching the discharge voltage in two or more stages. Because of the means, the concentration of the ozone to be blown out can be adjusted in two or more steps of high and low.

[0007] Thereby, for example, appropriate adjustment such as using a high concentration when deodorizing an unmanned room or the like, and using a concentration at a level that does not cause the smell of ozone (so-called fresh odor) to be felt when deodorizing in a manned room. Becomes possible. By the way, it is known that moderate ozone contained in the air, as in forest areas, is good for human health and has a mental relaxing effect (so-called forest bathing effect).

[0008] Therefore, the ozone generator according to claim 3 is the ozone generator according to claim 2, wherein the concentration adjusting means includes a forest bath level at which the ozone concentration is approximately 0.02 ppm and an approximately 0.15 ppm. It is possible to switch to a deodorization level of 0.16 ppm.

When the ozone concentration can be switched and adjusted in this way, when the main purpose is deodorization, the ozone concentration is set to a relatively high deodorization level (approximately 0.15 to 0.16 ppm) and a quick and good deodorization effect is obtained. For example, when relaxing or sleeping, the above-mentioned forest bathing effect can be obtained by using the forest bath at a relatively low ozone concentration (about 0.02 ppm).

[0010] The concentration adjusting means only needs to adjust the concentration in two steps of the forest bath level and the deodorizing level, but an intermediate level of concentration may be required depending on the purpose of use or the preference of the user. The configuration of claim 4 is suitable for such a problem. That is, the ozone generator according to claim 4 is the ozone generator according to claim 3, wherein the concentration adjusting means can continuously adjust the ozone concentration between the forest bath level and the deodorization level. Therefore, it can be used at an arbitrary ozone concentration between the forest bath level and the deodorization level according to the purpose of use and the preference of the user.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the ozone generator according to any one of the second to fourth aspects, an operation knob of the concentration adjusting means is disposed on a back surface of the case. I do. Since the operation knob of the density adjusting means is arranged on the back surface, the presence of the knob is inconspicuous and the appearance is excellent. Since the operation knob of the density adjusting means is not used very often, there is no problem even if it is arranged on the back side.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the ozone generator according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the width is 160 mm, the depth is 140 mm, and the height is 280 mm. The feature is that it fits in. In other words, this ozone generator is small and suitable for indoor use.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples of the present invention.

[0014]

【Example】

 As shown in FIG. 1A, an ozone outlet 14 and an operation panel 16 are provided on the front surface of a case 12 of the ozone generator 10 of this embodiment. The operation panel 16 is provided with an on switch 16a for turning on the power, an off switch 16b for turning off the power, a power LED 16c that lights up when the power is on, and an ozone generation LED 16d that lights up during the generation of ozone. I have.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1B, an air suction port 18 for taking in air and an operation knob 20 are arranged on the back of the case 12, and the operation knob 20 is provided diagonally below the operation knob 20. Are drawn with L and H letters 22,23. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a handle 25 is provided on the upper part of the case 12. The dimensions of the ozone generator 10 are 160 mm in width, 140 mm in depth, and 280 mm in height.

Inside the case 12, a configuration shown in a block diagram in FIG. 2, that is, a concentration volume 20a, a power supply circuit 26, a high voltage generation circuit 28, a discharger 30, a fan 32, and the like are housed. Is connected to an AC 100 volt power supply via a cord and plug (not shown).

In the ozone generator 10, when the ON switch 16 a is operated, a current is supplied from the power supply circuit 26 to the high voltage generation circuit 28 and the fan 32. Also, the power supply circuit 26 turns on the power supply LED 16c. The fan 32 is disposed between the air inlet 18 and the ozone outlet 14. Therefore, the operation of the fan 32 forms a flow of air from the air suction port 18 to the ozone outlet 14, and the air sucked from the air suction port 18 is blown out from the ozone outlet 14.

The high voltage generation circuit 28 converts the current supplied from the power supply circuit 26 to a high voltage and supplies the high voltage to the discharger 30. When the high voltage generation circuit 28 operates, the ozone generation LED 16d is turned on. The discharger 30 has a structure in which electrodes are arranged inside and outside of a quartz glass tube. When a high voltage generated by the high voltage generation circuit 28 is applied to the inside and outside electrodes, a discharge occurs between the two electrodes. Oxygen in the air reacts by the discharge to generate ozone.

Since this quartz glass tube is disposed in the air flow path from the above-mentioned air inlet 18 to the ozone outlet 14, part of the oxygen contained in the air sucked by the fan 32 is reduced. It becomes ozone and is blown out from the ozone outlet 14. The density knob 20a can be changed by the operation knob 20, and the voltage generated by the high voltage generation circuit 28 changes according to the change. The switching of the voltage also changes the amount of ozone generated. In the case of the present embodiment, when the operation knob 20 is set to H, the voltage of the high voltage generating circuit 28 reaches the maximum value, and the ozone concentration in the air blown out from the ozone outlet 14 at that time becomes about 0.15 to 0. .16 ppm (deodorization level), and when the operating knob 20 is set to L, the voltage of the high voltage generating circuit 28 becomes the lowest value, and the ozone concentration in the air blown out from the ozone outlet 14 at that time is about 0.02 ppm. (Forest bath level).

Therefore, when used for deodorization of a room, etc., it is used at a deodorizing level to efficiently deodorize. For example, when relaxing or sleeping, a forest bathing level is used to reduce the forest bathing effect. Obtainable. The ozone generator 10 is small and has a handle 25, so that it can be easily carried. Therefore, it can be easily moved when the user moves or the room changes.

Further, the ozone generator 10 has the air suction port 18 on the back of the case 12 and the ozone outlet 14 on the front, so that only the ozone outlet 14 is in the eyes of the user in a normal use state. It becomes visible. Therefore, the appearance at the time of use is good. Further, the ozone generator 10 can change the voltage applied to the discharger 30 by the high-voltage generation circuit 28 by changing the concentration volume 20 a with the operation knob 20, thereby changing the ozone outlet 14. The ozone concentration of the air blown out from the can be adjusted. For this reason, it is possible to make appropriate adjustments such as using a high concentration when deodorizing unmanned rooms, etc., and using a concentration that does not allow the smell of ozone (so-called fresh odor) to be felt when deodorizing in manned rooms. Become.

In particular, when the operation knob 20 is set to L, the ozone concentration becomes a forest bath level of about 0.02 ppm, and when the operation knob 20 is set to H, the ozone concentration becomes a deodorization level of about 0.15 to 0.16 pm. When the main purpose is deodorization, the deodorization level is used to provide a quick and good deodorizing effect.For example, when relaxing or sleeping, use a forest bath level where the ozone concentration is relatively low. The forest bathing effect as described above can be obtained. The level change (ozone concentration change) can be easily performed by anyone because only the operation knob 20 is operated.

Further, the position of the operation knob 20 can be set at an arbitrary position between H and L, and the ozone concentration can be continuously adjusted between the forest bath level and the deodorization level. It can be used at any ozone concentration between the forest bath level and the deodorization level according to the taste of the fish.

Since the operation knob 20 is arranged on the back surface of the case 12, the presence of the operation knob 20 is inconspicuous and the appearance is excellent. Since the ozone generator 10 has very compact dimensions of 160 mm in width, 140 mm in depth and 280 mm in height, it is suitable for indoor use and easy to carry with the handle 25.

In this embodiment, the high voltage generation circuit 28 and the discharger 30 constitute an ozone generation unit, and the operation knob 20 and the concentration volume 20 a constitute a concentration adjusting means. Corresponds to the blowing means. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and it goes without saying that various embodiments can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
