DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an anion preparation and air cleaning method as well as their device using the same to generate an anion 1.25 × 10 ⁹ or more in the air 1 m ^3.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, fine particles carrying electricity ranging from 1 μm to the size of a molecule are suspended in the air. Among them, particles with a size of about 10 to 100 molecules are called small ions, and those charged to the cathode are called anions, and these anions stabilize the mind and respiratory organs. It is said to have the effect of enhancing functions.

As described above, the floating of anions in the air is caused by the ionization phenomenon of the air, which is charged on the anode and the surrounding air is charged on the cathode when the water droplet is split in the air. This air ionization phenomenon is generally known as the Leonard effect, and occurs in a specific area in the natural world, such as a waterfall, a rapid area such as an upstream of a river, or an area where strong heaven is actually falling.

[0004] Therefore, there are many lines on the Shugendo and Koto that fall into the waterfall, but since the water from the waterfall falls and a lot of anions are generated in the vicinity of the splash, it makes sense. (See Keizo Kamiyama, "Health Design," published by Otsuki Shoten).

Although it has become known that anions are good for the human body, there has been no other method than relying on ordinary anions in the air. At the same time, an anion (negative potential) treatment device (produced by Prof. AL Tzhevsky, "Air ionization in the national economy") is a device that can freely supply anions regardless of the state of air ions. Developed by Nobuo Tateno, "Understanding the power of negative ions," Takei Publishing Review.

The present applicant has already filed an application for a method for producing anions which employs the same principle as that of generating anions in nature (Japanese Patent Application No. 2-263571). And
It is also known that, when anions are generated by this anion production method, ultrafine water droplets generated at the same time capture various substances in the atmosphere. The present applicant has also disclosed various technologies for removing various contaminants such as dust, harmful gas, bacteria, and smoke in the air to make the air clean by using this.

[0007]

According to the above-mentioned anion therapy device, a large amount of anions is generated, the cells can be easily replenished with the anions, the anion effect is exerted in the living body, and the body fluid is increased. It has systemic effects on gender, cellularity, and nervousness, which can treat various diseases and promote health. However, a large amount of ozone (O ³ ) is generated at the cost of generating the anions. It is said that even a minute amount of this ozone is harmful to the human body even in the air.

Further, the method of producing anions by the present applicant utilizes the principle of anion generation in the natural world. Anion can be supplied into a living body without being harmed by ozone or the like, and ultra-fine water droplets are simultaneously generated. Can clean the atmosphere. However,
This method of producing anions has low anion generation efficiency per unit power and is not necessarily economical.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is an anion producing method capable of easily generating a large amount of anions useful for the human body in the air efficiently without generating ozone. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method, an air cleaning method using the same, and devices thereof.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method for producing anions according to the present invention is characterized in that one or more water jets collide from one wall surface in an air path to its opposing wall surface to generate fine water droplets. The water for the water jet is supplied from the outside of the wind path, and at the same time, air is supplied into the wind path at a wind speed of 0.5 to 50 m / sec to form mixed air of fine water droplets. separating the larger water microdroplets than the particle size 1μm ultrafine water droplets mixed air and without, vertical

May be.

Further, air is introduced by the nozzle water jet provided on one wall surface of the air path near the one or more nozzles.
It is desirable to have an air inlet for entering .

[0015]

The principle of generating a large amount of anions by the method for producing anions having the above structure is not clear, but it can be estimated as follows. That is, one or more water jets collide from one wall surface in the wind path to the opposing wall surface at rest, and the opposing wall surface is hit by one or more water jets with almost no water at all times, and the impact generates fine water droplets This fine water droplet is returning from the opposite wall surface to the one wall direction,
When fine water droplets in the wind path are in such a state, air only flows through the wind path at a wind speed of 0.5 to 50 m / sec at the same time. Due to the water droplet mixed air, a part of the fine water droplets becomes positive ions due to the Leonard effect generated at that time, and a part of the air around the fine water droplets becomes anions, but it is in an electrically balanced state . The mixed air containing fine water droplets containing air ions of both poles is sent to a separator, and fine water droplets charged to cations having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm are separated as water droplets by the separator, so that the air ions lose balance and shade. Ultra-fine water-droplet mixed air containing many ions can be obtained.

[0016]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a flow sheet diagram of an anion producing apparatus embodying the anion producing method of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an anion producing apparatus. The anion producing apparatus 1 includes a fine water droplet generating machine 2 for generating fine water droplets from water, and a fine water droplet generating machine 2 for generating fine water droplets and at the same time inside the machine. A blower 3 for introducing air at a wind speed of 0.5 to 50 m / sec into fine water droplet mixed air, and separating fine water droplets having a particle diameter of at least 1 μm in the fine water droplet mixed air into ultrafine water droplet mixed air. Container 4.

The fine water drop making machine 2 includes a water tank 5,
A wind path 7 housed in a cylindrical body 6 provided on the water tank 5, a nozzle 10 provided on one wall 8 in the wind path 7 and spraying water on an opposing wall 9; A water supply pipe 11 for supplying water to the water supply pipe 11 and a pump 12 for supplying water to the water supply pipe 11 are provided.

The separator 4 is further connected to the water tank 5 of the fine water droplet producing machine 2 so as to communicate with the air path 7 so that it can be kept substantially airtight. .
An air outlet 13 is mounted on the upper surface of the separator 4 on the water tank 5, and an air inlet 14 is mounted on the upper surface of the wind path 7, so that they can be connected to other devices by pipes, ducts and the like.

At the lower side of the water tank 5, a drawing pipe 15 is provided so that the water collected in the water tank 5 can be used, and fresh water is supplied into the water tank 5 through a ball tap valve 16. It can be supplied. Further, the above-mentioned water supply pipe 11 is provided through the side surface of the tank 5.

The shape of the wind path 7 is not particularly limited, but the shape in the embodiment is a short section. The wind path 7 is usually preferably attached to the cylinder 6 in a vertical direction. Four nozzles 10 are sequentially mounted so that the axial direction of the nozzle 10 is perpendicular to one wall surface 8 of the wind path 7, and the nozzles 10 are ejected from the nozzles 10 a, 10 b, 10 c, and 10 d, respectively. The water collides with the opposing wall surface 9 almost vertically, and is scattered by the impact to become fine water droplets.

As shown in FIG. 2, a drainage receiving plate 17 is provided on the opposed wall surface 9 of the wind path 7 to receive, out of the water sprayed from the nozzle 10, water flowing on the opposed wall surface 9 without scattering. Things. For example, when the water jet from another nozzle 10b hits the place where the water jet from the nozzle 10a flows on the facing wall 9 to form a water film,
This is to prevent the water film from acting as a cushion to reduce the collision energy and reduce the generation of fine water droplets. Further, a control plate is provided on the opposite wall 9 located above the drainage receiving plate 17.
The control plate 18 controls the direction in which water is scattered after colliding with the opposed wall surface 9 to prevent the water from being scattered by a jet flow from another nozzle 10, that is, to absorb fine water droplets. In addition, the drain plate 17 controls the scattering state shown in FIG.
There is also a control function similar to.

The water supply pipe 11 is provided with a flow control valve 19.
The delivery side of the pump 12 is connected via the. Further, the suction side of the pump 12 is connected to the drawing pipe 15 of the water tank 5. The pump 12 is not particularly limited as long as a predetermined amount of water and a predetermined pressure are satisfied, and a single-suction volute pump is usually used. The amount of water supplied to the fine water droplet producing machine 2 depends on the volume of the anion treatment room 21 and the like, which will be described later, but is supplied by the pump 12 having a sufficient capacity. Further, since the water in the water tank 5 of the fine water droplet producing machine 2 is gradually contaminated by circulating use, it is necessary to change the water batchwise or continuously by the ball tap valve 16 or the like.

The blower 3 used here is:
There is no particular limitation as long as it has a pressure and air volume sufficient to secure a wind speed of 0.5 to 50 m / sec.

The separator 4 removes fine water droplets, which are mainly cations having a predetermined particle size or more, from the fine water droplet mixed air, and removes the ultrafine water droplet mixed air containing a large amount of anions. Any device that satisfies this function may be used. In this embodiment, a cyclone is used, and a cyclone having an appropriate diameter and length is selected according to the particle size of the fine water droplet. The separator (cyclone) 4 of the present embodiment is selected to remove fine water droplets having a particle diameter of 1.0 μm or more.

The above-described fine water droplet producing machine 2, blower 3 and separator 4 are connected as follows. That is, the cylinder 6 of the fine water droplet producing machine 2 and the separator 4 communicate with each other at the lower portion as described above, and the blower 3 is connected to the air outlet 13 of the separator 4. The blower 3 is connected to an anion treatment room 21 by a duct 20, and the anion treatment room 21 is connected via a duct 22 to an air inlet of the air passage 7 of the fine water droplet producing machine 2.
Connected to 14.

Next, the method for producing anions of the present invention will be described using an anion producing apparatus 1. First, the blower 3 is rotated after confirming whether or not water has entered the water tank 5 of the fine water droplet producing machine 2 to a predetermined level and satisfying other predetermined conditions. Next, water is supplied from the water supply pipe 11 to each nozzle 10, and is jetted from each nozzle 10 from one wall surface 8 in the air passage 7 to the opposite wall surface 9. The jetted water collides with the opposing wall surface 9 and scatters by the impact to become fine water droplets. At this time, the scattering direction of the scattered fine water droplets is controlled by the control plate 18, so that the scattered fine water droplets are not affected by the water jetted from the other nozzles 10 and are not absorbed. Further, the water that forms a water film on the opposed wall surface 9 without being scattered even when colliding with the opposed wall surface 9 flows downward, is received by the drainage receiving plate 17, does not flow downward, and is jetted from another nozzle 10. However, it does not affect when it hits the opposing wall surface 9. The fine water droplets generated in such a situation are simultaneously diffused into the air introduced into the wind path 7 by the blower 3, and the fine water droplets mainly ionized by the Leonard effect and the surrounding air are anionized. Thus, fine water droplet mixed air in which these cations and anions are mixed is generated. This air mixture of fine water droplets immediately enters the separator 4 from the tangential direction. The air mixed with fine water droplets entering the separator 4 becomes a swirling flow and has a large particle size, that is, 1.
Fine water droplets of 0 μm or more hit the inner peripheral wall surface of the separator 4, travel down the inner peripheral wall surface as it is, and enter the water tank 5. Therefore, 1.0 μm
The air mixed with fine water droplets over m loses electrical balance,
Ultra-fine water-droplet mixed air containing 1.25 × 10 ⁹ or more anions in 1 m ³ is obtained with no predominantly anionized air particles. The mixed air containing ultra-fine water droplets of less than 1.0 μm enters the anion treatment room 21 from the air outlet 13 via the blower 3 and the duct 20. Then, the mixed air of the ultra-fine water droplets, which has finished the predetermined role in the anion treatment room 21, is supplied again from the air inlet 14 through the duct 22 into the air path 7 of the fine water droplet producing machine 2, and the circulation operation is started. It is carried out. The ultrafine water-droplet mixed air containing a large amount of anions obtained in this way has the effects as shown in Table 1, as is clear from Nobuo Tateno's "Elucidation of negative ions".

[0027]

[Table 1]

In addition, when the ultra-fine water-droplet mixed air is reduced in particle size to substantially ultra-fine water droplets of less than 1.0 μm and contained in the air and sent, the fine dust in the air is produced in the process. Needless to say, they can be attached and cleaned and sterilized. Furthermore, in an air atmosphere in which such ultra-fine water droplets are floated, not only can air be cleaned, but in the case of ultra-fine water droplets, the phenomenon that an object does not get wet despite the presence of water droplets does not occur. Has a noticeable effect.

Mixing of air and fine water droplets can be performed more smoothly, and in some cases, the blower 3 can be omitted. Needless to say, the fine water droplet producing machine 2a may supply air from the air inlet 31 and directly supply air into the wind path 7.

The nozzle 10 is attached to the wall surface 8 of the wind path 7 at a predetermined angle, that is, every 90 degrees, and is attached at a predetermined interval from the upstream to the downstream in the longitudinal direction of the wind path 7. The fine water droplets generated by colliding with the opposed wall surface 9 are generated without gaps in the water jetted from the water, and the mixing with the air is promoted, so that the fine water droplet mixed air can be efficiently produced. Other configurations and operations are the same as those in FIGS. 1 to 3, and therefore, reference numerals are attached to the drawings, and description thereof will be omitted. Although not shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the drainage receiving plate 17 and the control plate 18

[0046]

As described in detail above, according to the anion production method of the present invention, one or more water jets collide from one wall surface in the wind path to a stationary wall surface, so that the opposing wall surface is always kept. At least one water jet hits in a state where there is almost no water, and the impact generates fine water droplets, and these fine water droplets are returning to the one wall direction from the opposite wall surface, and the fine water droplets in the wind path are in this state At one time, wind speed 0.5 ~
Since only air is passed at 50 m / sec, one or more water jets do not recapture fine water droplets and efficiently become mixed air with fine water droplets. At that time, some of the fine water droplets become cations due to the Leonard effect that occurs. A part of the air around the fine water droplets becomes anions, but is electrically balanced. The mixed air containing fine water droplets containing air ions of both poles is sent to a separator, and fine water droplets charged to cations having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm are separated as water droplets by the separator, so that the air ions lose balance and shade. Ultra-fine water-droplet mixed air containing many ions can be obtained efficiently. This specific efficiency is clear from Table 2 showing the experimental results. If this anion is replenished into the cells of the human body, it can affect humoral, cellular and nervous systemically, thereby treating various diseases and improving health.

The mixed air of ultra-fine water droplets containing a large amount of generated anions is mixed with the air to be cleaned, and the mixed air is circulated again through the air passage, whereby the ultra-fine water droplets are cleaned. It efficiently captures contaminants and the like in the purified air and turns it into clean air. The specific effects are shown in the table showing the test results.
3 is clear.

Further, according to the anion producing apparatus of the present invention which embodies the anion producing method, it is possible to obtain ultra-fine water droplet mixed air containing a large amount of anions more efficiently than before.
The above-mentioned effects can be easily achieved by introducing the anion into the human body, mixing the air containing the ultrafine water droplets with the air to be cleaned, and passing the mixed air through an anion producing machine.
