Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a static eliminator capable of easily removing static electricity charged on a human body, clothes, and the like.

(Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices) It is common to experience phenomena caused by static electricity, such as clinging to clothes, electric shock that occurs when taking off a sweater or when touching a door knob. Is. In this way, static electricity is present on many things around us, causing many harmful effects.

Conventionally, in order to eliminate the harmful effects of static electricity, static electricity is not targeted at individual charged objects, but static electricity may be removed by controlling the process, environment, and the entire system. For example, there is a method of removing static electricity in the environment by using corona discharge from positively and negatively ionized air. According to this method, there is a feature that an environment free of static electricity can be maintained at all times. However, the above-mentioned device causes a high cost because the device is large and the structure is complicated.

Further, in order to remove the charged static electricity, a place and an object to be grounded, for example, a conductor having a large area is required. For example, as a method of grounding, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-7076, which is grounded via the human body.

As described above, the conventional static electricity removal requires a large device and a complicated structure, or a place to be grounded is required to eliminate static electricity, and static electricity can be easily removed at any place. There was a drawback that it was not possible.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and includes a container made of an insulating material, an electrode partially exposed from the container, and a continuous connection to the electrode. and resistivity 10 ¹² [Omega] cm or less of the resistor which is, more will discharge electrode made of consecutively electrically conductive fibers in the resistor, the resistor and the discharge electrodes are housed in the container so as to be non-ground The feature is a static eliminator characterized by the following.

The details will be described below.

Examples of the insulating material used for the container include polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyethylene, silicone resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane, and the like, and a container having an appropriate shape may be prepared by using these materials.

The electrode is a part of which is exposed outside the container and needs to be a conductor. For example, a metal such as a conductive rubber, a conductive plastic, a conductive fiber, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless, or other alloy may be used.

The resistor connected to the electrode must have a specific resistance of 10 ¹² Ωcm or less. Various materials can be used as the material of the resistor. Examples include ceramics, cement, and carbon-based materials. Further, as the shape, any suitable shape such as a cylindrical shape, a square shape, and a flat plate shape can be used. The electrodes may have a resistance value within the above range.

The discharge electrode connected to the resistor may have a specific resistance value of 10 ¹² Ωcm or less, but it is required to be a conductive fiber having a sharp shape and a large surface area in order to discharge static electricity in the air. There is. As the shape of this conductive fiber,
An appropriate shape such as tow, chop, sliver, wave, felt, and woven cloth can be selected.

When connecting the above-mentioned electrodes, resistors and discharge electrodes in series,
The three objects may be placed in contact with each other in a container, or may be connected to each other by a lead wire or the like.

(Function) By using a conductive material for the discharge electrode, a potential difference is generated between the discharge electrode and the electrode, and static electricity smoothly flows from the electrode to the discharge electrode through the resistor. Therefore, when flowing through the resistor, electric energy is converted into heat energy in the resistor, and static electricity is consumed. The static electricity remaining without being consumed is transferred to the discharge electrode. Since this discharge electrode is made of conductive fibers, it is discharged in the air and the static electricity disappears.

(Examples) Hereinafter, examples will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an insulating container in which a hole 1a exposing a part of the electrode 2 is formed, and a discharge electrode 4 is continuously provided inside the electrode 2 via a resistor 3. ing. Further, the use of the liquid crystal display 5 and the neon tube 6 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a preferable example (a buzzer may be used) because the presence and consumption of static electricity can be visually confirmed. At this time, the liquid crystal display and neon should be protected from overvoltage.
As shown in the figure, a resistor 7 may be further provided.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable to form an appropriate shape and an appropriate number of holes 8 in the container, because it is possible to instantaneously discharge static electricity from the discharge electrode in the air.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, since the container is made of an insulating material, the electrode, the resistor having a specific resistance of 10 ¹² Ωcm or less, and the discharge electrode made of conductive fiber are connected in a simple manner. In addition, it can be made small enough to be carried, does not require a place to be grounded, and can easily remove static electricity charged on the human body, clothes and the like.
