Abstract
Description
この発明にあっては、羽根車夫々の回転により発生する気流が個別に層流となる層流部にイオン発生部を配してあるため、イオン発生部が発生したイオンを、通流路夫々を通流する層流の空気に効率的に含ませることができ、空気とともに室内に放出するイオンのイオン濃度を高くすることができる。因って、ウイルス菌を分解して除菌する除菌効果を大きくすることができ、室内でウイルスに感染するのを低減できる。また、カーテン,衣類等に付着している付着臭を除去する除去効果を大きくすることができる。

この発明にあっては、ケーシング内の比較的狭い通路を通流する層流の空気にイオンを効率的に含ませることができるため、空気とともに室内に放出するイオンのイオン濃度をより一層増すことができる。
この発明にあっては、ケーシング内の比較的狭い通路を高風速で通流する層流の空気にイオンを含ませることができるため、イオン発生部が発生したイオンをより一層効率的に空気に含ませることができ、空気とともに室内に放出するイオンのイオン濃度をより一層増すことができる。
この発明にあっては、吹出口夫々に連なる筒部夫々に層流部があり、筒部夫々にイオン発生部を配してあるため、送風機の周りを大形に形成することなくイオン発生部を配することができ、イオン発生装置を小型化できる。
この発明にあっては、二つの風向体の風向を異ならせることにより、室内での生活状況に対応してイオンの放出方向を変更することができ、イオンを室内に効率的に放出することができる。
この発明にあっては、二つの風向体の風向を等しくすることにより、総量のイオンを同方向に放出することができ、また、二つの風向体の風向を反対にすることにより、半分のイオンを一方向へ放出し、残り半分のイオンを他方向へ放出することができる。因って、二つの風向体から放出されたイオン同士が室内で干渉するのを防ぐことができる。
この発明にあっては、イオン発生部が発生したイオンを、比較的狭い通流路を通流する層流の空気に含ませる箇所を多くすることができるため、イオン発生部が発生したイオンをより一層効率的に空気に含ませることができる。因って、空気とともに放出口から放出されるイオンのイオン濃度をより一層増すことができる。

このことから、人などが生活する居住空間及び作業空間の全体にわたってイオン濃度を高濃度にすることが、感染症予防や環境浄化において非常に重要なことであるといえる。
これにより、各放出口固有のイオン発生器が夫々発生させるイオンに重なりが生じて相互に干渉することを抑止する。

従来から正イオンH+(H2O)m(mは任意の整数)、負イオンO2 -(H2O)n(nは任意の整数)を空気中に送出し、イオンの反応によって浮遊細菌等を殺菌することは知られていた。しかし、前記イオンは各々が再結合して消滅するため、イオン発生素子の極近傍では高濃度が実現できても、送出する距離が遠くなればなるほど急激にその濃度が減少してしまっていた。従って、実験装置のような小容量の空間ではイオン濃度を数万個/cm3とすることが出来ても、実際の居住空間や作業空間等の大きな空間ではせいぜい2~3,000個/cm3の濃度とするのが限度であった。
一方発明者らは、実験室レベルで前記イオン濃度が7,000個/cm3の時には、トリインフルエンザウイルスが10分間で99%、50,000個/cm3においては99.9%除去できることを発見した。双方の除去率が持つ意味は、空気中に1,000個/cm3のウイルスが存在したと仮定すると、各々10個/cm3および1個/cm3が残留することを示す。つまり、イオン濃度を7,000個/cm3から50,000個/cm3に高めることによって、残留するウイルスが1/10になるのである。
このことから、人などが生活する居住空間や作業空間において、高濃度のイオンを送出するだけではなく、空間全体にイオン濃度を高濃度にすることが感染症予防や環境浄化において非常に重要なことであることがわかる。
以下、本発明に係るイオン検出装置をイオン発生装置に適用した実施の形態について詳述する。図4は本発明に係るイオン発生装置の構成を示す縦断正面図、図5はイオン発生装置の構成を示す縦断側面図、図6はイオン発生器6aの構成を示す縦断側面図である。他のイオン発生器6b,6c,6dの構成については、イオン発生器6aと同様である。
計測部67は、捕集電極66を5Vの直流電源にプルアップする抵抗R4を有し、抵抗R4の両端子は、コンデンサC1と並列接続されている。捕集電極66は、計測部67の保護抵抗(回路素子)R1を介して、反転入力及び出力の間に抵抗R2が接続された演算増幅器(変換器)IC1の非反転入力68に接続されている。
尚、保護抵抗R1は、抵抗に限定されるものではなく、例えば保護以外の目的で、抵抗、コイル等の回路素子の直並列回路を有するようにしてもよい。
上述した導体パターン及び保護抵抗R1を包囲する保護電極69がなす平面は、捕集電極66がなす平面と略平行であるため、昇圧トランス65から漏洩する磁束が前記保護電極69と最小限に鎖交することになる。
尚、オン/オフのフェーズを示すFLG1の内容は、RAM83に記憶されるものとする。

尚、イオンセンサ64は、イオン発生部(イオンの発生部位)62,62の直近に配したが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば嵌合孔(イオンの放出部位)12の内面の任意の箇所、又はハウジング1の側壁1a、1b、天壁1c、前壁1e、又は後壁1fの任意の箇所(外部の所定部位)に配してもよい。
また、駆動電流検出回路92,92,92,92の夫々が、イオン発生器6a,6b,6c,6dが駆動されている時の電流が所定値以上であるか否かを検出する。

この場合、抵抗R1の両端に現れた電圧を、抵抗R2及びR3で分圧してNPNトランジスタQ1のベースに印加してあるため、駆動電流が所定値以上のときにNPNトランジスタQ1がオンしてコレクタが「L」となる。入力インタフェース89は、前記コレクタの「L」を負論理の検出信号(オン)として取り込むようにしてある。
尚、オン/オフのフェーズを示すFLG1の内容は、RAM83に記憶されるものとする。
尚、ALM1及びFLG1の内容は、RAM83に記憶されるものとする。
イオン発生器6b,6cの駆動電流の異常を検出して警告を発するフローチャートについては、更に、ステップS31,32にてFLG1がクリアされているか否かを判定するように変更する。この場合は、ALM1を、夫々ALM2,ALM3に置き換えるものとする。
尚、ALM2,ALM3及びALM4の内容は、RAM83に記憶される。
