Ion/ozone wind generation device and method

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a means with which an ion wind can be satisfactorily generated even if a negative-ion / ozone generation device is miniaturized (made portable). [Solution] An ion / ozone wind generation device is provided with a plurality of electrode pairs each having a needle electrode and a counter electrode. The ion / ozone wind generation device is configured such that a difference in electric potential is generated between each of the electrode pairs to generate ions, ozone, and an ion wind as a result of corona discharge. The counter electrode in each of the electrode pairs is formed so as to be planar, and annular or spiral-shaped. The ion / ozone wind generation device is provided with: a main electrode pair, i.e. one of the electrode pairs; and a plurality of secondary electrode pairs, i.e. electrode pairs having the counter electrodes thereof positioned regularly and next to or near each other, along an outer periphery of the counter electrode of the main electrode pair, so as to surround the counter electrode of the main electrode pair. The ion / ozone wind generation device is configured such that normal vectors of planes of all the counter electrodes have substantially the same direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is a device for generating ion wind by corona discharge, and more specifically, an ion wind generating device for generating ion wind with a larger air volume. In addition, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for sterilizing / deodorizing an object such as garbage, and particularly relates to generating ions and ozone by corona discharge in a space different from the space in which the object is placed, and A device and method for sterilizing / deodorizing by supplying ion / ozone wind to a space where objects are arranged. More specifically, the present invention relates to a box-type toilet equipped in a highly airtight box, such as a waste container such as kitchen waste or diapers, for storing disposal odors of a kitchen waste disposal machine, shoes, boots, etc. And toilet water tanks, airtight containers with freezer / refrigerators, vehicles with freezer / refrigerators, refrigerators, indoor / in-vehicle air condit...
