Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal air conditioning system, and more particularly to a personal air conditioning system with an ionizer for preventing the emission of cigarette smoke and the like to an adjacent work area.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional personal air conditioning system, the technology shown in FIG. 2 is known. In the conventional personal air conditioning system 20, the air conditioner 1 sucks air from the suction port 3 and blows conditioned air from the air outlet 2. A filter 21 is provided between the air conditioner 1 and the suction port 3 to absorb dust and the like contained in the air sucked from the suction port 3 to clean the conditioned air. For example, a desk 8 for working near the personal air conditioning system 20.
When smoke 9a is emitted from the cigarette 9 placed on the ashtray 22 on the desk 8, the smoke is also emitted from the outlet 2 and sucked into the intake 3 like dust. It flows together with the circulating flow 23. Then, smoke, dust, and the like in the space near the personal air conditioning system 20 are sucked together with the circulation flow from the suction port 3, and the dust is absorbed by the filter 21. However, the fact is that smoke cannot be sufficiently absorbed by the filter 21.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned conventional personal air conditioning system, cigarette smoke is designed to pass through the filter, but the filter cannot collect even fine particles such as smoke. After passing through the filter, the air is again included in the conditioned air and blown out from the air outlet. Further, since the cigarette smoke spreads indoors, most of the cigarette smoke that does not get into the circulating flow of the conditioned air is scattered to the adjacent work area, and the entire room cannot be cleaned sufficiently. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to allow not only dust but also smoke of fine particles to be collected in a personal air-conditioning system to sufficiently clean room air.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention achieves the above object in a personal air conditioning system in which air is sucked in through a suction port and conditioned air is blown out through a blowout port by operation of an air conditioner to circulate air around a work area. It was done.
Therefore, a unipolar ionizer is installed at the outlet and the unipolar ionizer is connected to one pole of the power source, and the counter electrode of the unipolar ionizer is provided at the suction port and the counter electrode is connected to the other pole of the power source. The ions (monopolar ions) generated from the monopolar ionizer were used to ionize smoke and fine particles in the air and collect them on the counter electrode of the monopolar ionizer. Further, in addition to the counter electrode at the suction port position, a separate counter electrode is arranged in the air-conditioned region, and both counter electrodes are connected by wiring to collect dust and smoke particles at two locations. Good.

[0005]

In the above personal air conditioning system with an ionizer, the ions (monopolar ions) generated from the monopolar ionizer ionize cigarette smoke and other fine particles in the work area. Therefore, in the work area, an electric field is generated by the unipolar ionizer and the counter electrode of the unipolar ionizer, and the ionized cigarette smoke and other fine particles are subjected to the force toward the counter electrode of the unipolar ionizer to the counter electrode of the unipolar ionizer. To be collected.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The air conditioner 1 is configured such that, in the personal air conditioning system 10 of the present invention, air is sucked in through the suction port 3 and conditioned air is blown out through the air outlet 2. The air conditioner 1 may include a function of adjusting the amount of blown air, a timer that controls the operating time of the air conditioner 1, and the like. The unipolar ionizer 4 is installed at the outlet 2, the unipolar ionizer 4 is connected to the negative electrode of the power source 12, the counter electrode 5 of the unipolar ionizer is installed at the suction port 3, and the air is blown from the outlet 2. It is designed to turn air into negative ions (unipolar ions). The counter electrode 5 is connected to the positive electrode of the power source 12 so as to collect a large amount of negative ions (single-pole ions) generated from the single-pole ionizer 4.

A desk 8 for carrying out work or the like is arranged near the air conditioning system 10, and smoke 9a rises from a cigarette 9 placed on an ashtray 7 on the desk 8. When negative ions (single-pole ions) 6 are generated from the single-pole ionizer 4, the negative ions (single-pole ions) 6 are blown out together with the conditioned air from the air outlet 2, and the blown-out negative ions (single-pole ions) are discharged. The converted air is sucked into the suction port 3 through the vicinity of the desk 8 to form a circulating flow 11 of negative ions (unipolar ions), and smoke is collected as described later.
Further, the counter electrode 5a of the unipolar ionizer is arranged separately from the counter electrode 5 on the desk 8 in the vicinity of the personal air conditioning system 10, and both the counter electrodes 5 and 5a are connected by wiring.
Connect a to the + pole of the power supply 12. In addition, the counter electrode 5 of the single-pole ionizer 4 is arranged only on the desk 8 without being arranged at the position of the suction port 3, or the counter electrode 5a of the single-pole ionizer placed on the desk 8 is formed into the shape of the ashtray 7. Alternatively, the counter electrode 5a of the counter electrode ionizer may be incorporated in the ashtray 7.

In the above air conditioning system, the negative ions (monopolar ions) generated from the monopolar ionizer 4 become the ion circulation flow 11 and ionize the cigarette smoke 9a and other fine particles in the work area near the desk 8. Therefore, in the work area, an electric field is generated between the monopolar ionizer 4 and the counter electrodes 5 and 5a of the monopolar ionizer, and the ionized fine particles and the like receive a force toward the counter electrodes 5 and 5a of the monopolar ionizer. Counter electrode 5 of the ionizer, or counter electrode 5a
Captured by. For the fine particles and the like collected on the counter electrodes 5 and 5a of the unipolar ionizer, clean the counter electrodes 5 and 5a of the unipolar ionizer or use the counter electrodes 5 and 5a of the unipolar ionizer.
It is removed by exchanging a.

In this way, the dust and fine particles of cigarette smoke are ionized and collected, so that the cigarette smoke 9a and other fine particles are removed to provide a healthy and comfortable space. Furthermore, since a large amount of negative ions (monopolar ions) generated from the monopolar ionizer 4 spreads within the work area, cigarette smoke and other dust particles in a wide area are ionized and attracted to the counter electrode. , It is possible to prevent cigarette smoke and other fine particles from being scattered to the adjacent work area.
In this embodiment, the unipolar ionizer is connected to the negative pole of the power source and the counter electrode is connected to the positive pole of the power source to generate negative ions (unipolar ions). It is of course considered that positive ions (unipolar ions) can be generated by connecting to the pole and connecting the counter electrode to the negative pole of the power supply.

[0010]

Since the personal air conditioning system with an ionizer of the present invention uses the same principle as that of the electrostatic precipitator, it is possible to collect even minute objects such as dust and smoke. further,
A large amount of monopolar ions is generated from the monopolar ionizer installed in the work area, and the ionized tobacco smoke and other fine particles are attracted to the counter electrode, so that the smoke and the smoke of the adjacent work area are absorbed. It is possible to prevent other fine particles and the like from being scattered. Negative ions are said to have a good effect on the body, so if the ions generated by the unipolar ionizer are negative, the work area will be a healthy space.
