  However, such a conventional ion generator has a problem that the amount of ions released is not sufficient.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a conventional subject, and it aims at providing the ion generator which can increase the discharge | release amount of ion.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the ion generating apparatus according to claim 1 of the present invention, an ion generating apparatus in which a flow path for discharging ions generated in an ion generating section in an ion generating chamber to the outside is set A holding unit that volatilizes the liquid drug to maintain humidity, a blowing unit that causes the air in the holding unit to flow along the flow path and discharges the outside, and a communication path that connects the holding unit to the ion generation chamber A communication portion that connects the ion generation chamber to a portion of the flow path that is located downstream of the air blowing means, and causes the air in the holding portion to flow along the flow path by the air blowing means. A position separated from the first flow path by forming the flow path and the second flow path that flows through the flow path via the communication path, the ion generation chamber, and the communication portion. the ion generating unit arranged, the ion generating unit While communicating said ion generating chamber which kicked into the flow path through the communicating portion, the rod-shaped electrodes constituting the ion generation portion, extending in a direction crossing the flow direction of air at the flow path Arranged to exist.

  That is, the ion generating part that generates ions is disposed at a position that is out of the air flow path through the flow path, and the space in which the ion generating part is provided communicates with the flow path. Yes.

  For this reason, the ions generated from the ion generator sufficiently ionize the air in the space in which the ion generator is provided, and the ionized air passes through the communication portion connected to the flow path. Released from the flow path to the outside.

Further , the air in the flow path is formed by a blowing means and discharged to the outside. At this time, the wind by the blowing means is configured to flow along the flow path.

  For this reason, the ionized air filled in the space having the ion generating part is sucked into the flow path and discharged to the outside by the negative pressure generated in the communication part to the flow path.

  It is to be noted that the ions are released into the flow path not only by this negative pressure but also by an ion wind generated when ions are generated in the ion generation section.

Furthermore , the rod-shaped electrode constituting the ion generation part is configured to extend in a direction intersecting with the air flow direction in the flow path, and flows out from the communication part toward the flow path. The air that is to flow will flow along the electrodes.

  Thereby, since the contact time of the said air and the said electrode can be lengthened, ionization is accelerated | stimulated.

In addition, the upstream of the communicating portion communicating with the ion generating section, and the holding portion is provided to hold the humidity and volatilize the liquid-like agents, humidity at the ion generating space is above a predetermined value Kept.

  Thereby, the ion generation effect by the said ion generation part is accelerated | stimulated compared with the case of low humidity.

In addition , the holding unit communicates with the ion generating unit via a communication path.

Thus, the humidity in the ion generation chamber is reliably maintained at a predetermined level or more, and air can flow between the communication path and the flow path, so that ions are efficiently released into the flow path.
Moreover, in the ion generator of Claim 2 of this invention, it comprised so that the opening direction of the said communication part and the extending direction of the said flow path might orthogonally cross.

  As described above, in the ion generating apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the air generated in the ion generating portion is sufficiently ionized by the ions generated in the ion generating portion, and then externally connected to the flow path via the communication portion. Can be released.

  Therefore, on the structure in which the ion generation unit is provided in the flow path through which the air flows, compared to the conventional case where ions generated in the ion generation unit are released before sufficiently ionizing the surrounding air, The air generated in the ion generator can ionize the air at the outer periphery. In addition, the ionized air can further increase the amount of ions generated by a chain reaction that ionizes the air in the outer periphery. As a result, the amount of ions released can be dramatically increased.

Further, it is possible to release the ionized air filled before Symbol space ion generating unit is provided, outside sucked into the flow path by the negative pressure generated in the communication portion to the channel.

  Thereby, increase of ionized air and efficient discharge | release can be made compatible.

Further, rod-shaped electrodes constituting the front Symbol ion generating section is arranged so as to extend in a direction intersecting the flow direction of air at the flow path, toward the flow path from the communicating portion Outflowing air can flow along the electrodes.

  As a result, the contact time between the air and the electrode can be lengthened, so that compared with the case where the air flowing out toward the flow path flows in the crossing direction with respect to the electrode, Ionization can be promoted.

In addition, held before Symbol upstream side communicating portion communicating with the ion generating space, by providing the holding portion for holding the humidity and volatilize the liquid-like drugs, the humidity at the ion generating space, above a predetermined value can do.

  For this reason, the ion generation effect by the said ion generating part can be heightened compared with the case where ionization is performed in the dry space.

  At this time, by using a fragrance as the liquid medicine, a fragrance component can be mixed and released in ionized air, and convenience is improved.

The front by communicating the holding portion to the ion generation portion through the Killen passage, it is possible to hold the humidity of the ion generation chamber reliably than a predetermined.

  Thereby, an air flow can be formed between the communication path and the flow path, and ions can be efficiently released into the flow path.
