Description

Ion generator

The invention relates to an ion generating device.

Ion generating devices that supply ions to indoor air are popular. In addition, various techniques for efficiently supplying ions to indoor air are disclosed in the ion generating device.

For example, the ion generating device described in Patent Document 1 includes a blower mechanism, a duct, and an electrode block. The air supply mechanism sends air toward the duct. The duct constitutes a flow path that circulates the air sent by the air blowing mechanism. In addition, the duct includes an opening in the side wall. The electrode block is constructed to be freely detachable in the pipeline. The electrode block includes an ion generating section. The ion generating section includes a needle-shaped discharge electrode to which a positive voltage or a negative voltage is applied, and an induction electrode opposed to the discharge electrode. When the electrode block is attached to the pipe, the following state is achieved. That is, the ion generating portion passes through the opening, and the discharge electrode and the induction electrode are positioned to face each other in the flow channel. In addition, the opening is closed by the electrode block.

The attachment portion is configured such that the support member is detachable in the first direction. The attachment portion is arranged along the wall surface of the air blowing path. The first direction indicates a direction substantially perpendicular to the air sending direction and parallel to the wall surface of the air blowing path. The discharge factor includes at least one of positive ions and negative ions.

According to the ion generating apparatus of the present invention, the amount of ions contained in air can be increased.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8, in the embodiment of the present invention, the support member 71 includes the storage portion 710 that detachably stores the power circuit unit 723. Therefore, by attaching the power supply circuit unit 723 to the storage portion 710, the ion generator 72 can be easily attached to the support member 71.

In addition, when the support member 71 is mounted on the mounting portion 3, the power supply terminal 361 is connected to the power supply circuit unit 723. Therefore, when the support member 71 is mounted on the mounting portion 3, power can be supplied to the power supply circuit unit 723.

In addition, the electrode opening 716 has a shape that expands forward toward the front end side of the storage portion 710. Therefore, when the support member 71 is mounted on the mounting portion 3, the power supply terminal 361 is fitted into the electrode opening 716. Therefore, the power supply terminal 361 can surely supply power to the power supply circuit unit 723.

In addition, each of the first restricting member 712 and the second restricting member 713 restricts the flow of air from the inside of the duct 60 to the outside of the duct 60. Therefore, the amount of ions contained in the air can be further increased.

In addition, the air flowing in through the openings between the adjacent plate-shaped members 34 among the plurality of plate-shaped members 34 sequentially flows toward the second inclined member 33 via the inclined member 711 and the body member 715. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress that the support member 71 obstructs the flow of air in the duct 60. Therefore, the amount of ions contained in the air can be further increased.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, although the support member 71 includes the first restricting member 712 and the second restricting member 713, the present invention is not limited to this. The support member 71 may include at least one of the first restriction member 712 and the second restriction member 713.

Next, the configuration of the support member 71 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an example of the structure of the support member 71. The support member 71 shown in FIG. 9 is different from the support member 71 shown in FIG. 7 in that the ion generator 72 is not installed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the storage portion 710 is formed in a box shape. The upper surface of the storage portion 710 is opened. The upper surface of the storage portion 710 is a surface indicating the side away from the electrode opening 716.

Next, the configuration of the ion generator 72 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the ion generator 72. As shown in FIG. 10, the power supply circuit unit 723 of the ion generator 72 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10, in the embodiment of the present invention, the storage portion 710 is formed in a box shape, and the power supply circuit unit 723 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape. Therefore, the ion generator 72 can be easily attached to the storage portion 710.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, although the power supply circuit unit 723 is housed in the housing portion 710, the present invention is not limited to this. The power circuit unit 723 and the storage unit 710 may be locked. For example, the power supply circuit unit 723 may be detachably fixed to the storage section 710.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, although the power supply circuit unit 723 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the present invention is not limited to this. The power supply circuit unit 723 may have a shape that can be easily stored in the storage portion 710. For example, the power supply circuit unit 723 may be formed in a cubic shape, and the power supply circuit unit 723 may be formed in a circular plate shape.
