　静電霧化装置は放電電極、対向電極及びペルチェ素子を備えている。放電電極は平板状の平板部と平板部に立設される円柱部とを有している。対向電極は円柱部の先端に対向した円筒状に形成される。ペルチェ素子は放電電極の平板部に接して配される。 The electrostatic atomizer includes a discharge electrode, a counter electrode, and a Peltier element. The discharge electrode has a flat plate portion and a cylindrical portion standing on the flat plate portion. The counter electrode is formed in a cylindrical shape facing the tip of the column portion. The Peltier element is disposed in contact with the flat plate portion of the discharge electrode.
　ペルチェ素子に通電すると放電電極が冷却されるため、放電電極の表面に結露による水が生成される。次に、放電電極を負極として対向電極を正極とし、放電電極と対向電極との間に高電圧が印加される。これにより、放電電極にマイナスの電荷が集中し、水と対向電極との間にクーロン力が働いて表面張力を超えて水の分裂及び飛散が繰り返される。その結果、マイナス電荷に帯電した霧状の帯電微粒子水が生成される。 When the Peltier element is energized, the discharge electrode is cooled, and water due to condensation is generated on the surface of the discharge electrode. Next, a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode and the counter electrode, with the discharge electrode as the negative electrode and the counter electrode as the positive electrode. As a result, negative charges are concentrated on the discharge electrode, and the Coulomb force acts between the water and the counter electrode to repeat the splitting and scattering of water exceeding the surface tension. As a result, mist-like charged fine particle water charged to a negative charge is generated.
　上記構成の空気清浄機において、送風機の駆動によって吸込口から送風ダクト内には室内の空気が取り込まれ、空気に含まれる塵埃がフィルタにより捕集される。塵埃を除去された空気には静電霧化装置により発生した帯電微粒子水が含まれ、吹出口から送出される。帯電微粒子水を含む空気によって室内の殺菌等を行うことができる。 In the air cleaner having the above-described configuration, indoor air is taken into the air duct from the suction port by driving the air blower, and dust contained in the air is collected by the filter. The air from which the dust has been removed contains charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer and is sent out from the outlet. Indoor sterilization and the like can be performed with air containing charged fine particle water.
　また、特許文献２には静電霧化装置を備えた従来のヘアドライヤが開示される。このヘアドライヤは筐体に吸込口、第１吹出口及び第２吹出口を開口する。筐体内には吸込口に連通する送風ダクトが設けられ、送風ダクトは二方向に分岐する第１、第２通路の先端にそれぞれ第１、第２吹出口が設けられる。送風ダクト内には分岐前にプロペラファンから成る送風機が配される。第１通路にはヒータが配され、第２通路には静電霧化装置が配される。 Also, Patent Document 2 discloses a conventional hair dryer provided with an electrostatic atomizer. This hair dryer opens a suction inlet, a 1st blower outlet, and a 2nd blower outlet in a housing | casing. A blower duct communicating with the suction port is provided in the housing, and the blower duct is provided with first and second outlets at the ends of the first and second passages that branch in two directions, respectively. A blower composed of a propeller fan is arranged in the air duct before branching. A heater is disposed in the first passage, and an electrostatic atomizer is disposed in the second passage.
　上記構成のヘアドライヤにおいて、送風機の駆動によって吸込口から送風ダクト内には室内の空気が取り込まれ、第１、第２通路に分岐する。第１通路を流通する空気はヒータにより加熱され、第１吹出口から送出される。これにより、使用者の髪を乾燥させる。また第２通路には静電霧化装置により発生した帯電微粒子水が含まれ、第２吹出口から送出される。これにより、使用者近傍の殺菌及び髪の保湿を行うことができる。 In the hair dryer configured as described above, the indoor air is taken into the air duct from the suction port by driving the air blower, and branches into the first and second passages. The air flowing through the first passage is heated by the heater and sent out from the first outlet. Thereby, the user's hair is dried. The second passage contains charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer and is sent out from the second outlet. Thereby, sterilization of the user vicinity and moisture retention of a hair can be performed.

　しかしながら、上記従来の空気清浄機によると、帯電微粒子水は約数十ｎｍの粒子径を有するため、空気分子に比して十分大きい。このため、吹出口から空気中に送出される帯電微粒子水の到達距離が短くなり、室内の全体に行き届かない場合がある。また、帯電微粒子水がマイナス電荷に帯電するため、室内のマイナス電荷に帯電した箇所に帯電微粒子水が反発して行き届かない。これにより、室内の殺菌効果を十分得ることができない問題があった。 However, according to the conventional air cleaner, the charged fine particle water has a particle size of about several tens of nanometers and is sufficiently larger than air molecules. For this reason, the reach distance of the charged fine particle water sent into the air from the air outlet becomes short, and may not reach the whole room. Further, since the charged fine particle water is charged with a negative charge, the charged fine particle water is repelled and does not reach the portion charged with the negative charge in the room. Thereby, there existed a problem which cannot fully obtain the indoor bactericidal effect.
　また、上記従来のヘアドライヤによると、使用者の髪がマイナス電荷に帯電していると帯電微粒子水が反発して使用者から遠ざけられる。特に、帯電微粒子水がマイナス電荷に帯電するため、ヘアドライヤの使用によって使用者の髪にマイナス電荷が蓄積して新たに供給される帯電微粒子水が遠ざけられる。これにより、殺菌効果や保湿効果を十分得ることができない問題があった。 Also, according to the conventional hair dryer, when the user's hair is negatively charged, the charged fine particle water repels away from the user. In particular, since the charged fine particle water is negatively charged, by using a hair dryer, the negative fine charge is accumulated in the user's hair and newly supplied charged fine particle water is kept away. Thereby, there existed a problem which cannot fully acquire a bactericidal effect and a moisturizing effect.
　本発明は、帯電微粒子水による殺菌効果及び保湿効果を向上できるイオン送出装置及びそれを用いた空気調節装置、理美容機器を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide an ion delivery device capable of improving the sterilizing effect and moisturizing effect by charged fine particle water, an air conditioner using the ion delivery device, and a hairdressing beauty device.
　上記目的を達成するために本発明のイオン送出装置は、プラスイオンを発生して空気中に放出するイオン発生装置と、マイナス電荷に帯電した霧状の帯電微粒子水を発生して空気中に放出する静電霧化装置と、前記プラスイオン及び前記帯電微粒子水を送出する送風機とを備えたことを特徴としている。 In order to achieve the above object, the ion delivery device of the present invention generates an ion generator that generates positive ions and discharges them into the air, and generates mist-shaped charged fine particle water that is negatively charged and discharges them into the air. And an air blower that sends out the positive ions and the charged fine particle water.
　この構成によると、イオン発生装置により発生したプラスイオンと静電霧化装置により発生した帯電微粒子水とが送風機により室内や使用者等に向けて送出される。マイナス電荷に帯電する帯電微粒子水は拡散するプラスイオンに引き寄せられて拡散する。また、マイナス電荷に帯電した領域はプラスイオンにより除電され、帯電微粒子水が導かれる。帯電微粒子水によって室内や使用者近傍の殺菌や保湿が行われる。 According to this configuration, positive ions generated by the ion generator and charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer are sent out to the room or the user by the blower. The charged fine particle water charged to a negative charge is attracted and diffused by the diffusing positive ions. Further, the negatively charged region is neutralized by positive ions, and charged fine particle water is guided. Sterilization and moisturizing are performed indoors and in the vicinity of the user with charged fine particle water.
　また本発明は、上記構成のイオン送出装置において、前記プラスイオン及び前記帯電微粒子水を同時に送出したことを特徴としている。この構成によると、粒子径の小さいプラスイオンが例えば、室内に拡散する。この時、室内のマイナス電荷に帯電した箇所がプラスイオンにより除電される。粒子径の大きい帯電微粒子水はプラスイオンに引き寄せられて拡散するとともに、プラスイオンにより除電された箇所に行き届く。 Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the ion delivery device having the above configuration, the positive ions and the charged fine particle water are delivered simultaneously. According to this configuration, positive ions having a small particle size diffuse into the room, for example. At this time, the portion charged in the negative charge in the room is neutralized by positive ions. The charged fine particle water having a large particle diameter is attracted by the positive ions and diffused, and reaches the location where the static electricity has been removed by the positive ions.
　また本発明は、上記構成のイオン送出装置において、前記プラスイオン及び前記帯電微粒子水を同時に送出する第１送出期間と、第１送出期間の経過後に前記イオン発生装置を停止して前記帯電微粒子水を送出する第２送出期間とを設けたことを特徴としている。 According to the present invention, in the ion delivery device having the above-described configuration, a first delivery period in which the positive ions and the charged fine particle water are delivered simultaneously, and the ion generation device is stopped after the first delivery period has elapsed, and the charged fine particle water. And a second sending period for sending the message.
　この構成によると、第１送出期間でプラスイオンが例えば、室内に拡散するとともにマイナス電荷に帯電した箇所を除電する。第１送出期間及び第２送出期間で帯電微粒子水はプラスイオンに引き寄せられるとともに除電された箇所に行き届く。また、第１送出期間でプラスイオンが例えば、使用者に向けて送出されて使用者近傍のマイナス電荷を除電し、第１送出期間及び第２送出期間で帯電微粒子水が使用者近傍に導かれる。 According to this configuration, in the first delivery period, for example, positive ions diffuse into the room and are neutralized with a negative charge. In the first delivery period and the second delivery period, the charged fine particle water is attracted to the positive ions and reaches the location where the charge has been removed. Further, for example, positive ions are sent to the user in the first delivery period to neutralize the negative charge in the vicinity of the user, and charged fine particle water is guided to the user neighborhood in the first delivery period and the second delivery period. .
　また本発明は、上記構成のイオン送出装置において、前記静電霧化装置を停止して前記プラスイオンを所定期間送出する第１送出期間と、第１送出期間の経過後に前記イオン発生装置を停止して前記帯電微粒子水を送出する第２送出期間とを設けたことを特徴としている。 According to the present invention, in the ion delivery device having the above-described configuration, the electrostatic atomization device is stopped, the first delivery period in which the positive ions are delivered for a predetermined period, and the ion generation device is stopped after the first delivery period has elapsed. And a second delivery period for delivering the charged fine particle water.
　この構成によると、第１送出期間でプラスイオンが例えば、室内に拡散するとともにマイナス電荷に帯電した箇所を除電する。第２送出期間で帯電微粒子水はプラスイオンに引き寄せられて拡散するとともに除電された箇所に行き届く。また、第１送出期間でプラスイオンが例えば、使用者に向けて送出されて使用者近傍のマイナス電荷を除電し、第２送出期間で帯電微粒子水が使用者近傍に導かれる。 According to this configuration, in the first delivery period, for example, positive ions diffuse into the room and are neutralized with a negative charge. In the second delivery period, the charged fine particle water is attracted by the positive ions and diffuses and reaches the location where the charge has been removed. Further, for example, positive ions are sent toward the user in the first delivery period to neutralize the negative charge near the user, and charged fine particle water is guided to the user in the second delivery period.
　また本発明は、上記構成のイオン送出装置において、前記静電霧化装置が放電電極と前記放電電極を冷却するペルチェ素子と前記ペルチェ素子に接する放熱フィンとを有し、前記送風機の駆動によって気流が流通する送風ダクトに前記放電電極が臨んで配されるとともに、前記送風ダクトに対して前記放電電極の上流で分岐して下流で合流する分岐路に前記放熱フィンが臨んで配されることを特徴としている。 Further, according to the present invention, in the ion delivery device configured as described above, the electrostatic atomizer includes a discharge electrode, a Peltier element that cools the discharge electrode, and a heat radiation fin that contacts the Peltier element. The discharge electrode is arranged facing the air duct through which the air flows, and the radiation fins are arranged facing the branch path that branches upstream of the discharge electrode and merges downstream of the air duct. It is a feature.
　この構成によると、送風ダクトを流通する気流は放電電極の方向と分岐路とに分岐する。ペルチェ素子が駆動されると放電電極から放熱フィンに伝熱して分岐路を流通する気流に放熱される。これにより、冷却された放電電極の放電によって帯電微粒子水が送風ダクトに放出され、分岐路を流通する気流と合流して室内等に送出される。 According to this configuration, the airflow flowing through the air duct is branched into the direction of the discharge electrode and the branch path. When the Peltier element is driven, heat is transferred from the discharge electrode to the heat radiating fins and radiated to the airflow flowing through the branch path. As a result, the charged fine particle water is discharged to the blower duct by the discharge of the cooled discharge electrode, joins the airflow flowing through the branch path, and is sent out indoors or the like.
　また本発明の空気調節装置は、上記各構成のイオン送出装置を備えたことを特徴としている。この構成によると、イオン発生装置により発生したプラスイオンと静電霧化装置により発生した帯電微粒子水とが送風機により室内に向けて送出される。粒子径の小さいプラスイオンは室内に拡散し、マイナス電荷に帯電する帯電微粒子水はプラスイオンに引き寄せられて拡散する。 The air conditioner of the present invention is characterized by including the ion delivery device having the above-described configuration. According to this configuration, positive ions generated by the ion generator and charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer are sent out indoors by the blower. Positive ions having a small particle size diffuse into the room, and charged fine particle water charged to a negative charge is attracted to the positive ions and diffuses.
　また本発明の理美容機器は、上記各構成のイオン送出装置を備えたことを特徴としている。この構成によると、使用者に向けてプラスイオンが送出されると、使用者近傍がマイナス電荷に帯電している場合に除電される。また、帯電微粒子の送出により使用者の近傍がマイナス電荷に帯電すると、プラスイオンによって除電される。その後、帯電微粒子水が送出され、使用者に帯電微粒子水が導かれる。 Further, the hairdressing / beauty device of the present invention is characterized by including the ion delivery device having the above-described configuration. According to this configuration, when positive ions are delivered toward the user, they are neutralized when the vicinity of the user is charged with a negative charge. Further, when the vicinity of the user is charged with a negative charge by the delivery of charged fine particles, the charge is eliminated by positive ions. Thereafter, charged fine particle water is sent out, and the charged fine particle water is guided to the user.
　本発明によると、イオン発生装置により空気中に放出されたプラスイオンと静電霧化装置により発生した帯電微粒子水とを送風機により送出するので、空間中に拡散したプラスイオンや被照射体表面のプラスイオンに帯電微粒子水が引き寄せられる。また、マイナス電荷に帯電した領域がプラスイオンにより除電され、帯電微粒子水が行き届く。これにより、空間中や被照射体表面に帯電微粒子水が十分供給され、殺菌効果や保湿効果を向上することができる。 According to the present invention, the positive ions released into the air by the ion generator and the charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer are sent out by the blower, so that the positive ions diffused in the space and the surface of the irradiated object Charged fine particle water is attracted to positive ions. In addition, the negatively charged region is neutralized by positive ions, and the charged fine particle water reaches the surface. Thereby, charged fine particle water is sufficiently supplied in the space or the surface of the irradiated body, and the sterilizing effect and the moisturizing effect can be improved.

　以下に本発明の実施形態を図面を参照して説明する。図１は第１実施形態の空気清浄機の側面断面図を示している。空気清浄機２０は筐体２１内にイオン送出装置１が配される。図２はイオン送出装置１の正面断面図を示し、図１は図２のＡ－Ａ断面図になっている。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a side sectional view of the air cleaner of the first embodiment. In the air cleaner 20, the ion delivery device 1 is arranged in a housing 21. FIG. 2 is a front sectional view of the ion delivery device 1, and FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG.
　筐体２１は背面に吸込口２が開口し、上面に吹出口３が開口する。筐体２１内に配されるイオン送出装置１は送風ダクト４、送風機５、静電霧化装置１０及びイオン発生装置１５を備えている。送風ダクト４は樹脂成形品により形成され、吸込口２と吹出口３とを連通させる。 The housing 21 has a suction port 2 at the back and an air outlet 3 at the top. The ion delivery device 1 disposed in the housing 21 includes a blower duct 4, a blower 5, an electrostatic atomizer 10, and an ion generator 15. The air duct 4 is formed of a resin molded product, and allows the suction port 2 and the air outlet 3 to communicate with each other.
　送風機５はモータ５ａにより駆動されるシロッコファンにより形成され、吸気側を吸込口２に面して配置される。送風ダクト４は送風機５の上流側に吸気路４ａが形成され、下流側に排気路４ｂが形成される。 The blower 5 is formed by a sirocco fan driven by a motor 5a, and is arranged with the suction side facing the suction port 2. The air duct 4 has an intake passage 4a formed on the upstream side of the blower 5 and an exhaust passage 4b formed on the downstream side.
　静電霧化装置１０は放電電極１１、対向電極１２、ペルチェ素子１３及び放熱フィン１４を備えている。放電電極１１は先端を排気路４ｂに臨む針状に形成され、底部が平板状に形成される。対向電極１２は環状に形成され、放電電極１１の先端の周囲に配される。放電電極１１と対向電極１２との間に高電圧を印加すると、放電電極１１がコロナ放電する。ペルチェ素子１３は放電電極１１の底部に一面を接して配され、放電電極１１を冷却する。放熱フィン１４はペルチェ素子１３の他面に接し、吸気路４ａに臨んで配される。 The electrostatic atomizer 10 includes a discharge electrode 11, a counter electrode 12, a Peltier element 13, and a radiation fin 14. The discharge electrode 11 is formed in a needle shape with the tip facing the exhaust path 4b, and the bottom is formed in a flat plate shape. The counter electrode 12 is formed in an annular shape and is arranged around the tip of the discharge electrode 11. When a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode 11 and the counter electrode 12, the discharge electrode 11 undergoes corona discharge. The Peltier element 13 is disposed in contact with the bottom of the discharge electrode 11 to cool the discharge electrode 11. The radiating fins 14 are disposed in contact with the other surface of the Peltier element 13 and facing the intake passage 4a.
　イオン発生装置１５は排気路４ｂに臨む針状の放電電極１６を有している。放電電極１６に高電圧を印加するとコロナ放電によりイオンを発生して空気中に放出する。 The ion generator 15 has a needle-like discharge electrode 16 facing the exhaust passage 4b. When a high voltage is applied to the discharge electrode 16, ions are generated by corona discharge and released into the air.
　また、送風ダクト４内には吸込口２に面して塵埃を捕集するフィルタ２２が配されている。 Further, a filter 22 that collects dust is disposed in the air duct 4 so as to face the suction port 2.
　上記構成の空気清浄機２０において、空気清浄機２０の運転が開始されると送風機５が駆動されるとともに、イオン発生装置１５及び静電霧化装置１０が同時に駆動される。送風機５の駆動によって室内の空気が矢印Ｄ１に示すように吸込口２から送風ダクト４に流入する。送風ダクト４に流入した空気はフィルタ２２により塵埃が捕集され、排気路４ｂを流通する。 In the air cleaner 20 having the above configuration, when the operation of the air cleaner 20 is started, the blower 5 is driven, and the ion generator 15 and the electrostatic atomizer 10 are simultaneously driven. As the blower 5 is driven, indoor air flows from the suction port 2 into the blower duct 4 as indicated by an arrow D1. The air flowing into the air duct 4 is collected by the filter 22 and flows through the exhaust path 4b.
　イオン発生装置１５の放電電極１６は交流波形またはインパルス波形から成る高圧の正電圧が印加され、コロナ放電する。これにより、空気中の水分が電離して水素イオン（Ｈ＋）が生じ、空気中の水分との結合によりクラスタ化して主としてＨ＋（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｍから成るプラスイオンが発生する。ここで、ｍは０または自然数である。プラスイオンは排気路４ｂに向けて放出される。 The discharge electrode 16 of the ion generator 15 is applied with a high-voltage positive voltage having an AC waveform or an impulse waveform, and corona discharge occurs. As a result, moisture in the air is ionized to generate hydrogen ions (H + ), which are clustered by bonding with moisture in the air to generate positive ions mainly composed of H + (H 2 O) m. Here, m is 0 or a natural number. Positive ions are released toward the exhaust path 4b.
　このプラスイオンの粒子径は水分子の数に応じて数オングストローム～数ｎｍ程度である。また、放電電極１６の印加電圧はコロナ放電によって発生するオゾンが許容範囲（例えば、０．１ｐｐｍ）以下になるように設定される。 The particle size of this positive ion is about several angstroms to several nanometers depending on the number of water molecules. Further, the applied voltage of the discharge electrode 16 is set so that ozone generated by corona discharge falls within an allowable range (for example, 0.1 ppm).
　静電霧化装置１０が駆動されるとペルチェ素子１３が通電され、放電電極１１から放熱フィン１４に伝熱して吸気路４ａを流通する気流との熱交換により放熱される。これにより、放電電極１１が冷却され、放電電極１１の表面に結露による水が生成される。 When the electrostatic atomizer 10 is driven, the Peltier element 13 is energized, and heat is transferred from the discharge electrode 11 to the heat radiating fins 14 and radiated by heat exchange with the airflow flowing through the intake passage 4a. Thereby, the discharge electrode 11 is cooled, and water due to condensation is generated on the surface of the discharge electrode 11.
　次に、放電電極１１を負極として対向電極１２を正極とし、放電電極１１と対向電極１２との間に高電圧が印加される。これにより、放電電極１１にマイナスの電荷が集中し、水と対向電極１２との間にクーロン力が働いて表面張力を超えて水の分裂及び飛散が繰り返される。その結果、マイナス電荷に帯電した霧状の帯電微粒子水が生成され、排気路４ｂに放出される。帯電微粒子水は粒子径を数ｎｍ程度に形成すると容易に消滅するため、数十ｎｍ程度の粒子径に形成される。 Next, with the discharge electrode 11 as a negative electrode and the counter electrode 12 as a positive electrode, a high voltage is applied between the discharge electrode 11 and the counter electrode 12. As a result, negative charges are concentrated on the discharge electrode 11, and Coulomb force acts between the water and the counter electrode 12, and the splitting and scattering of water are repeated exceeding the surface tension. As a result, mist-like charged fine particle water charged to a negative charge is generated and discharged to the exhaust passage 4b. Since the charged fine particle water easily disappears when the particle diameter is formed to about several nm, it is formed to have a particle diameter of about several tens of nm.
　これにより、排気路４ｂを流通する空気にプラスイオン及び帯電微粒子水が含まれ、吹出口３から矢印Ｄ２に示すように室内に向けて送出される。 Thereby, positive ions and charged fine particle water are contained in the air flowing through the exhaust passage 4b and are sent out from the blowout port 3 into the room as indicated by an arrow D2.
　プラスイオンは空気分子に比して同程度の粒子径を有するため、容易に拡散して室内の隅々に行き渡る。これにより、マイナス電荷に帯電する帯電微粒子水がプラスイオンに引き寄せられて室内の隅々に行き渡る。また、室内のマイナス電荷に帯電した箇所がプラスイオンにより除電され、帯電微粒子水が行き届く。そして、帯電微粒子水によって室内の殺菌が行われる。 ＋ Since positive ions have the same particle size as air molecules, they easily diffuse and spread throughout the room. Thereby, the charged fine particle water charged to a negative charge is attracted to the positive ions and spreads throughout the room. In addition, the portion charged in the negative charge in the room is neutralized by positive ions, and the charged fine particle water reaches. And indoor sterilization is performed by the charged fine particle water.
　本実施形態によると、イオン発生装置１５により空気中に放出されたプラスイオンと静電霧化装置１０により発生した帯電微粒子水とを送風機５により送出するので、室内に拡散したプラスイオンに帯電微粒子水が引き寄せられる。また、マイナス電荷に帯電した領域がプラスイオンにより除電され、帯電微粒子水が行き届く。これにより、室内に帯電微粒子水が十分供給され、殺菌効果を向上することができる。 According to this embodiment, since the positive ions released into the air by the ion generator 15 and the charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer 10 are sent out by the blower 5, the charged fine particles are diffused into the positive ions diffused indoors. Water is drawn. In addition, the negatively charged region is neutralized by positive ions, and the charged fine particle water reaches the surface. Thereby, the charged fine particle water is sufficiently supplied into the room, and the sterilizing effect can be improved.
　次に、図３は第２実施形態の空気清浄機２０のイオン送出装置１を示す正面断面図である。説明の便宜上、前述の図１～図２に示す第１実施形態と同一の部分は同一の符号を付している。本実施形態は静電霧化装置１０の配置が第１実施形態と異なっている。その他の部分は第１実施形態と同様である。 Next, FIG. 3 is a front sectional view showing the ion delivery device 1 of the air cleaner 20 of the second embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals. In the present embodiment, the arrangement of the electrostatic atomizer 10 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other parts are the same as those in the first embodiment.
　イオン送出装置１の送風ダクト４の排気路４ｂには連通路７が導出されている。静電霧化装置１０は連通路７の一端を塞ぎ、放電電極１１が連通路７に臨んで配される。また、放熱フィン１４は排気路４ｂの壁面を貫通して排気路４ｂに臨んで配される。 The communication path 7 is led out to the exhaust path 4b of the blower duct 4 of the ion delivery device 1. The electrostatic atomizer 10 closes one end of the communication path 7, and the discharge electrode 11 is arranged facing the communication path 7. The heat radiation fins 14 are disposed so as to penetrate the wall surface of the exhaust passage 4b and face the exhaust passage 4b.
　これにより、放熱フィン１４が排気路４ｂを流通する気流と熱交換して放電電極１１が冷却される。また、放電電極１１から発生する帯電微粒子水は連通路７を介して排気路４ｂに放出される。従って、第１実施形態と同様に室内の殺菌効果を向上させることができる。 Thereby, the heat radiation fin 14 exchanges heat with the airflow flowing through the exhaust passage 4b, and the discharge electrode 11 is cooled. Further, the charged fine particle water generated from the discharge electrode 11 is discharged to the exhaust path 4 b through the communication path 7. Therefore, the indoor sterilization effect can be improved as in the first embodiment.
　次に、図４は第３実施形態の空気清浄機２０のイオン送出装置１を示す正面断面図である。説明の便宜上、前述の図１～図２に示す第１実施形態と同一の部分は同一の符号を付している。本実施形態は静電霧化装置１０の配置及び排気路４ｂの構成が第１実施形態と異なっている。その他の部分は第１実施形態と同様である。 Next, FIG. 4 is a front sectional view showing the ion delivery device 1 of the air cleaner 20 of the third embodiment. For convenience of explanation, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the arrangement of the electrostatic atomizer 10 and the configuration of the exhaust passage 4b. Other parts are the same as those in the first embodiment.
　イオン送出装置１の送風ダクト４の排気路４ｂは仕切板６によって第１通路４ｃ及び第２通路４ｄに仕切られる。イオン発生装置１５の放電電極１６は第１通路４ｃに臨んで配置される。静電霧化装置１０の放電電極１１は第２通路４ｄに臨んで配される。これにより、吹出口３はプラスイオンを含む空気を送出する第１吹出部３ａと、帯電微粒子水を含む空気を送出する第２吹出部３ｂとに仕切られる。 The exhaust passage 4b of the air duct 4 of the ion delivery device 1 is partitioned by the partition plate 6 into a first passage 4c and a second passage 4d. The discharge electrode 16 of the ion generator 15 is disposed facing the first passage 4c. The discharge electrode 11 of the electrostatic atomizer 10 is arranged facing the second passage 4d. Thereby, the blower outlet 3 is divided into the 1st blowing part 3a which sends out the air containing positive ion, and the 2nd blowing part 3b which sends out the air containing charged fine particle water.
　図５は図４のＢ－Ｂ断面図を示している。第２通路４ｄの背後には分岐路８が設けられる。分岐路８は第２通路４ｄに対して放電電極１１の上流で開口部８ａを介して分岐し、下流で開口部８ｂを介して合流する。静電霧化装置１０の放熱フィン１４は分岐路８に臨んで配置される。このため、矢印Ｄ３に示すように第２通路４ｄを流通する気流の一部が矢印Ｄ４に示すように開口部８ａから分岐路８に流入する。 FIG. 5 shows a BB cross-sectional view of FIG. A branch path 8 is provided behind the second path 4d. The branch path 8 branches from the second passage 4d upstream of the discharge electrode 11 via the opening 8a, and joins downstream via the opening 8b. The radiation fins 14 of the electrostatic atomizer 10 are arranged facing the branch path 8. Therefore, a part of the airflow flowing through the second passage 4d as shown by the arrow D3 flows into the branch path 8 from the opening 8a as shown by the arrow D4.
　これにより、放熱フィン１４が分岐路８を流通する気流と熱交換して放電電極１１が冷却される。放電電極１１から発生する帯電微粒子水は第２通路４ｄに放出され、分岐路８を流通して開口部８ｂから第２通路４ｄに流入する気流と合流する。そして、帯電微粒子水を含む空気が第２吹出部３ｂから室内に送出される。 Thereby, the heat radiation fin 14 exchanges heat with the airflow flowing through the branch path 8, and the discharge electrode 11 is cooled. The charged fine particle water generated from the discharge electrode 11 is discharged to the second passage 4d, and flows through the branch passage 8 and merges with the airflow flowing into the second passage 4d from the opening 8b. And the air containing charged fine particle water is sent out indoors from the 2nd blowing part 3b.
　また、第２通路４ｄを流通する気流の一部が分岐路８を流通するため、放電電極１１上を流通する空気の風速が低下する。放電電極１１上を流通する空気の風速が大きいと放電電極１１上に結露による水が付きにくく、放電電極１１から発生する帯電微粒子水が減少する。このため、放電電極１１上を流通する空気の風速を低下させることにより、帯電微粒子水を増加させることができる。 Moreover, since a part of the airflow flowing through the second passage 4d flows through the branch path 8, the wind speed of the air flowing over the discharge electrode 11 decreases. When the wind speed of the air flowing over the discharge electrode 11 is high, water due to condensation is difficult to adhere to the discharge electrode 11 and the charged fine particle water generated from the discharge electrode 11 is reduced. For this reason, the charged fine particle water can be increased by reducing the wind speed of the air flowing over the discharge electrode 11.
　本実施形態によると、第１実施形態と同様に室内の殺菌効果を向上させることができる。また、第２通路４ｄに対して放電電極１１の上流で分岐して下流で合流する分岐路８に放熱フィン１４が臨んで配されるので、放電電極１１上を流通する空気の風速が低下して帯電微粒子水を増加させることができる。従って、室内の殺菌効果をより向上させることができる。 According to this embodiment, the indoor sterilization effect can be improved as in the first embodiment. Moreover, since the radiation fins 14 are arranged facing the branch path 8 that branches upstream of the discharge electrode 11 and joins downstream of the second passage 4d, the wind speed of the air flowing over the discharge electrode 11 decreases. The charged fine particle water can be increased. Therefore, the indoor sterilizing effect can be further improved.
　また、仕切板６により第１、第２通路４ｃ、４ｄに仕切られるため、プラスイオンと帯電微粒子水との衝突による帯電微粒子水の減少を抑制することができる。 Further, since the partition plate 6 partitions the first and second passages 4c and 4d, it is possible to suppress a decrease in charged fine particle water due to collision between positive ions and charged fine particle water.
　第１～第３実施形態において、イオン発生装置１５及び静電霧化装置１０を継続的に同時に駆動しているが、所定の時期に一方を停止してもよい。例えば、静電霧化装置１０を停止してプラスイオンを所定期間送出する第１送出期間と、第１送出期間の経過後にイオン発生装置１５を停止して帯電微粒子水を所定期間送出する第２送出期間とを設けてもよい。尚、第１送出期間と第２送出期間とを繰り返し行ってもよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the ion generator 15 and the electrostatic atomizer 10 are continuously driven simultaneously, but one may be stopped at a predetermined time. For example, a first delivery period in which the electrostatic atomizer 10 is stopped and positive ions are sent for a predetermined period, and a second period in which the ion generator 15 is stopped and charged fine particle water is sent for a predetermined period after the first delivery period has elapsed. A transmission period may be provided. Note that the first transmission period and the second transmission period may be repeated.
　これにより、プラスイオンが室内に拡散した後に送出される帯電微粒子水がプラスイオンに引き寄せられて拡散する。従って、上記と同様の効果を得ることができる。また、吹出口３近傍でプラスイオンと帯電微粒子水との衝突による帯電微粒子水の減少を抑制することができる。 This causes the charged fine particle water sent after the positive ions diffuse into the room to be attracted and diffused by the positive ions. Therefore, the same effect as described above can be obtained. Moreover, the reduction | decrease in the charged fine particle water by collision with positive ion and charged fine particle water can be suppressed in the blower outlet 3 vicinity.
　この時、第１送出期間を長くすると、第１送出期間で室内に拡散したプラスイオンに対し、第２送出期間で送出された帯電微粒子水が離れてプラスイオンに引き寄せられない場合が生じる。このため、第１送出期間でイオン発生装置１５及び静電霧化装置１０の駆動によりプラスイオン及び帯電微粒子水を同時に送出してもよい。これにより、第１送出期間で帯電微粒子水がプラスイオンから大きく離れないため室内に帯電微粒子水を拡散させることができる。また、第２送出期間では吹出口３近傍のプラスイオンと帯電微粒子水との衝突による帯電微粒子水の減少を抑制することができる。 At this time, if the first delivery period is lengthened, the charged fine particle water delivered in the second delivery period may be separated from the positive ions diffused in the room during the first delivery period and may not be attracted to the positive ions. For this reason, positive ions and charged fine particle water may be sent simultaneously by driving the ion generator 15 and the electrostatic atomizer 10 in the first delivery period. Thus, the charged fine particle water can be diffused in the room because the charged fine particle water is not greatly separated from the positive ions in the first delivery period. Further, in the second delivery period, it is possible to suppress a decrease in charged fine particle water due to a collision between positive ions near the outlet 3 and charged fine particle water.
　また、第１～第３実施形態において、イオン送出装置１を搭載した空気清浄機２０について説明しているが、これに限られない。例えば、冷暖房機、加湿器、除湿機等であってもよく、イオン送出装置１を搭載した空気調節装置であればよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the air cleaner 20 equipped with the ion delivery device 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an air conditioner, a humidifier, a dehumidifier, etc. may be sufficient as long as it is an air conditioner equipped with the ion delivery device 1.
　次に、図６、図７は第４実施形態のヘアドライヤ３０を示す斜視図及び正面図を示している。本実施形態は前述の図４、図５に示す第３実施形態と同様のイオン送出装置１を筐体３１内に備えている。 Next, FIGS. 6 and 7 show a perspective view and a front view showing the hair dryer 30 of the fourth embodiment. In this embodiment, an ion delivery device 1 similar to that of the third embodiment shown in FIGS.
　筐体３１内には送風ダクト４（図４参照）が形成され、筐体３１の正面上部に第１吹出部３ａ及び第２吹出部３ｂを有する吹出口３が開口する。筐体３１の下方には使用者が把持する把持部３２が設けられ、把持部３２にはヘアドライヤ３０の操作を行う操作部３３が設けられる。 A blower duct 4 (see FIG. 4) is formed in the housing 31, and an air outlet 3 having a first blowout portion 3 a and a second blowout portion 3 b is opened at the front upper portion of the housing 31. A grip 32 that a user grips is provided below the housing 31, and an operation unit 33 that operates the hair dryer 30 is provided on the grip 32.
　図８はヘアドライヤ３０の構成を示すブロック図である。ヘアドライヤ３０は各部を制御する制御部３４を備え、制御部３４には送風機５、静電霧化装置１０、イオン発生装置１５、ヒータ３５及び操作部３３が接続される。送風機５、静電霧化装置１０、イオン発生装置１５及び送風ダクト４（図４参照）によってイオン送出装置１が構成される。尚、送風機５をプロペラファンにより形成してもよい。 FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the hair dryer 30. The hair dryer 30 includes a control unit 34 that controls each unit, and the blower 5, the electrostatic atomizer 10, the ion generator 15, the heater 35, and the operation unit 33 are connected to the control unit 34. The ion delivery device 1 is comprised by the air blower 5, the electrostatic atomizer 10, the ion generator 15, and the ventilation duct 4 (refer FIG. 4). In addition, you may form the air blower 5 with a propeller fan.
　ヒータ３５は第２通路４ｄ（図４参照）内に配され、第２通路４ｄ内を流通する空気を昇温する。 The heater 35 is disposed in the second passage 4d (see FIG. 4) and raises the temperature of the air flowing through the second passage 4d.
　上記構成のヘアドライヤ３０において、ヘアドライヤ３０の運転が開始されると送風機５及びヒータ３５が駆動される。これにより、吹出口３の第２吹出部３ｂから使用者の髪に温風が吹き付けられる。また、所定の操作によってヒータ３５を停止して使用者の髪に冷風が吹き付けられる。 In the hair dryer 30 configured as described above, when the operation of the hair dryer 30 is started, the blower 5 and the heater 35 are driven. Thereby, warm air is blown from the 2nd blowing part 3b of the blower outlet 3 to a user's hair. Further, the heater 35 is stopped by a predetermined operation, and cold air is blown to the user's hair.
　また、静電霧化装置１０を停止してイオン発生装置１５を駆動した第１送出期間と、イオン発生装置１５を停止して静電霧化装置１０を駆動した第２送出期間とが繰り返し行われる。第１送出期間ではイオン発生装置１５の駆動によってプラスイオンが第１吹出部３ａから所定期間送出される。これにより、使用者の髪がマイナス電荷に帯電している場合にプラスイオンによって除電される。 Further, the first delivery period in which the electrostatic atomizer 10 is stopped and the ion generator 15 is driven and the second delivery period in which the ion generator 15 is stopped and the electrostatic atomizer 10 is driven are repeated. Is called. In the first delivery period, positive ions are delivered from the first outlet 3a for a predetermined period by driving the ion generator 15. As a result, when the user's hair is negatively charged, it is neutralized by positive ions.
　第２送出期間では静電霧化装置１０の駆動によって帯電微粒子水が第２吹出部３ｂから所定期間送出される。これにより、帯電微粒子水が除電された使用者の髪に行き届き、使用者近傍の殺菌及び使用者の髪の保湿が行われる。 In the second delivery period, the charged fine particle water is delivered from the second blowing unit 3b for a predetermined period by driving the electrostatic atomizer 10. Thereby, the charged fine particle water reaches the user's hair from which the charge has been removed, and sterilization in the vicinity of the user and moisture retention of the user's hair are performed.
　また、帯電微粒子水の照射によって使用者の髪がマイナス電荷に帯電すると、第１送出期間に移行してプラスイオンにより使用者の髪が除電される。 In addition, when the user's hair is negatively charged due to the irradiation of charged fine particle water, the hair of the user is neutralized by positive ions in the first delivery period.
　本実施形態によると、イオン発生装置１５により空気中に放出されたプラスイオンと静電霧化装置１０により発生した帯電微粒子水とを送風機５により送出するので、プラスイオンにより除電された使用者の髪（被照射体）の表面に帯電微粒子水を導くことができる。これにより、使用者近傍や使用者の髪に帯電微粒子水が十分供給され、殺菌効果及び保湿効果を向上することができる。 According to the present embodiment, the positive ions released into the air by the ion generator 15 and the charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer 10 are sent out by the blower 5. Charged fine particle water can be guided to the surface of the hair (irradiated body). Thereby, charged fine particle water is sufficiently supplied to a user's vicinity or a user's hair, and a sterilization effect and a moisturizing effect can be improved.
　また、第１送出期間で静電霧化装置１０を停止してプラスイオンを送出した後、第２送出期間でイオン発生装置１５を停止して帯電微粒子水を送出するので、マイナス電荷に帯電した使用者の髪を確実に除電した後に帯電微粒子水を供給することができる。従って、殺菌効果及び保湿効果をより確実に向上することができる。また、プラスイオンと帯電微粒子水との衝突による帯電微粒子水の減少を抑制することができる。 In addition, the electrostatic atomizer 10 is stopped during the first delivery period and positive ions are delivered, and then the ion generator 15 is stopped and the charged fine particle water is delivered during the second delivery period. The charged fine particle water can be supplied after the user's hair is reliably discharged. Therefore, the bactericidal effect and the moisturizing effect can be improved more reliably. Moreover, the reduction | decrease in the charged fine particle water by the collision with positive ion and charged fine particle water can be suppressed.
　尚、第１送出期間を長くすると、使用者の近傍がプラス電荷に帯電して使用者が不快と感じる場合が生じる。このため、第１送出期間でイオン発生装置１５及び静電霧化装置１０の駆動によりプラスイオン及び帯電微粒子水を同時に送出してもよい。これにより、第１送出期間でマイナス電荷を除電する際に使用者の近傍がプラス電荷に帯電されることを抑制することができる。また、第２送出期間では吹出口３近傍のプラスイオンと帯電微粒子水との衝突による帯電微粒子水の減少を抑制することができる。 If the first delivery period is lengthened, the vicinity of the user may be charged with a positive charge and the user may feel uncomfortable. For this reason, positive ions and charged fine particle water may be sent simultaneously by driving the ion generator 15 and the electrostatic atomizer 10 in the first delivery period. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the vicinity of the user from being charged with a positive charge when the negative charge is neutralized in the first delivery period. Further, in the second delivery period, it is possible to suppress a decrease in charged fine particle water due to a collision between positive ions near the outlet 3 and charged fine particle water.
　本実施形態において、イオン送出装置１を搭載して使用者に向けて空気を送出するヘアドライヤ３０について説明しているが、これに限られない。例えば、美顔器等であってもよく、イオン送出装置１を搭載した理美容機器であればよい。 In this embodiment, although the hair dryer 30 which carries the ion delivery apparatus 1 and sends out air toward a user is demonstrated, it is not restricted to this. For example, a facial device or the like may be used, as long as it is a hairdressing and beauty device equipped with the ion delivery device 1.
