[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various forms can be adopted as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0009] First, a specific embodiment of the negative ion generator according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

[0010] The negative ion generator according to the present invention is used for an object to be acted on (not shown) such as the skin of a human body, the hair of a human body, or clothes, and includes a housing 1, a power supply assembly 2, and a first low-conductivity assembly 4.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the housing 1 is an integral type (not shown), and as shown in the illustrated combination, the housing 1 is elongated and has a long side and a short side. The housing 1 includes a first cover 11 and a second cover 12, and a carrier 13 is formed on the upper part of the first cover 11.

[0012] Further, a first opening 111 corresponding to the long side is provided in the first cover 11, a second opening 121 is provided in the second cover 12, and a fourth opening 132 is provided in the carrier 13. The carrier 13 is used for loading articles, and the first cover 11 and the second cover 12 form a complete housing 1 by covering and combining both opposite sides of the carrier 13.

[0013] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 6 to 8, the first low-conductivity assembly 4 includes a pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 and a first conductive sheet 42 sandwiched between the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41. The size of the outer peripheral edge of each of the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 is larger than the range of about 1.0 mm to 1.2 mm, which is the size of the outer peripheral edge of the first conductive sheet 42, but is not limited thereto. The size of the outer peripheral edge of each of the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 is larger than the size of the outer peripheral edge of the first conductive sheet 42, and the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 completely houses the first conductive sheet 42. Each of the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 is a ceramic sheet or a glass sheet, and the first conductive sheet 42 is a copper foil. Hereinafter, an example in which the first low-conductivity material 41 is a ceramic sheet will be described.

[0014] The first low-conductivity assembly 4 is provided in the housing 1 so as to correspond to the position of the first opening 111, and is exposed by the first opening 111 and is adjacent to the aforementioned object to be acted on (the adjacent described here includes proximity or contact). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1, 6 to 8, the carrier 13 is provided with a hole (not shown in FIG. 1), and a first pedestal 134 is provided and communicated corresponding to this hole (see FIG. 6). The first pedestal 134 has a first recess 1341, and the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is provided inside so as to be positioned in the first recess 1341, and through this hole, the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is exposed to the first opening 111.

[0015] Also, the thickness of one of the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 (about 0.635 mm, but not limited thereto) is thicker than the thickness of the other of the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 (about 0.38 mm, but not limited thereto). Further, a first hole 411 for exposing the first conductive sheet 42 is provided in one of the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 having a thicker thickness (about 0.635 mm, but not limited thereto). There is a gap of about 2 mm between the first hole 411 and the left side of the first low-conductivity assembly 4. The diameter of the first hole 411 is about 4 mm. The length of the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is in the range of about 58.9 mm to 59.15 mm, and the width of the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is in the range of about 9.9 mm to 10.15 mm, but not limited thereto.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the power supply assembly 2 is provided inside the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the first low-conductivity assembly 4 through the first hole 411 to conduct the first low-conductivity assembly 4. Since the ceramic sheet belongs to the category of low-conductivity assemblies, the power supply assembly 2 cannot conduct the first low-conductivity assembly 4 unless it is at a high voltage. In this embodiment, an example in which the voltage of the power supply assembly 2 is in the range of 5900 to 10000 V will be described, and preferably it is 6000 V.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the negative ion generator according to the present invention further includes a circuit board 3. The power supply assembly 2 is connected to a commercial power supply by a power cord or is in a form using a battery (see FIGS. 1 and 8). In this embodiment, an example including a rechargeable battery 21 and a high-voltage module 22 will be described. The circuit board 3 is provided on the carrier 13. The rechargeable battery 21 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3, and the high-voltage module 22 is electrically connected between the circuit board 3 and the first low-conductivity assembly 4.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 8, the user only needs to control the power supply assembly 2 to supply power to the first low-conductivity assembly 4 and conduct electricity. When the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is adjacent to the object to be acted on (the term "adjacent" as described here includes approaching or contacting), static electricity is generated, and the static electricity acts on oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere to generate negative oxygen ions. The negative oxygen ions act on the object to be acted on near the first low-conductivity assembly 4 (for example, activating the epidermal cells of the human skin or the cells of the hair, or sterilizing, disinfecting, deodorizing, and decomposing dirt on clothes, etc.).

[0019] On the circuit board 3, a TYPE-C connector 31 provided corresponding to the fourth opening 132, a smart key switch 32 mounted inside the housing 1, and at least one light-emitting element 33 provided corresponding to the second opening 121 are electrically arranged. When a transmission cable is connected to a power supply by the TYPE-C connector 31 (which is a Micro TYPE-C connector, but not limited to this), charging is performed on the rechargeable battery 21 (which is a lithium battery, but not limited to this). The smart key switch 32 switches the power supply assembly 2 on (ON) or off (OFF) and adjusts the level. The light-emitting element 33 displays the state of the housing 1 with respect to the rechargeable battery 21, for example, the charging state, the full-charge state, and the state of the remaining amount decreasing, etc.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1, 4 to 8, the negative ion generator according to the present invention further includes a second low-conductive assembly 5 including a pair of second low-conductive materials 51 and a second conductive sheet 52 sandwiched between the pair of second low-conductive materials 51. The size of the outer peripheral edge of each of the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 is larger than the range of about 1.0 mm to 1.2 mm, which is the size of the outer peripheral edge of the second conductive sheet 52, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The size of the outer peripheral edge of each of the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 is larger than the size of the outer peripheral edge of the second conductive sheet 52, and the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 completely houses the second conductive sheet 52. Each of the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 is a ceramic sheet or a glass sheet, and the second conductive sheet 52 is a copper foil.

[0021] Also, the thickness of one of the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 (about 0.635 mm, but not limited thereto) is thicker than the thickness of the other of the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 (about 0.38 mm, but not limited thereto). Further, a second hole 511 for exposing the second conductive sheet 52 is provided in one of the pair of second low-conductive materials 51 having a thicker thickness (about 0.635 mm, but not limited thereto). There is an interval of about 6.5 mm between the second hole 511 and the left side of the second low-conductive assembly 5, the diameter of the second hole 511 is about 3 mm, and the length of the second low-conductive assembly 5 is in the range of about 15.9 mm to 16.15 mm, but not limited thereto. The width of the second low-conductive assembly 5 is in the range of about 5.9 mm to 6.15 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The power supply assembly 2 is electrically connected to the second conductive sheet 52 through the second hole 511, and the high voltage module 22 is electrically connected between the circuit board 3 and the second low-conductive assembly 5.

[0022] The user can freely choose whether to use the first low-conductivity assembly 4 or the second low-conductivity assembly 5. The area of the second low-conductivity assembly 5 is smaller than that of the first low-conductivity assembly 4 and is a small-area part to be used for the object to be acted on. As shown in FIGS. 1, 6 to 8, the carrier 13 is further provided with a third opening 131 corresponding to the short side (see FIG. 1). The carrier 13 is provided with and communicated with a second pedestal 135 corresponding to the third opening 131 (see FIG. 6). The second pedestal 135 has a second recess 1351, and the second low-conductivity assembly 5 is provided inside the second pedestal 135 so as to be positioned in the second recess 1351, and the second low-conductivity assembly 5 is exposed from the third opening 131.

[0023] As shown in FIGS. 1, 6 to 8, in order to firmly position the first low-conductivity assembly 4 and the second low-conductivity assembly 5, the negative ion generator according to the present invention further includes a crimping structure 6. The crimping structure 6 includes a crimping plate 61, two extension arms 63 extending from one end of the crimping plate 61 in a direction away from the one end, and two press blocks 62 connected to the two extension arms 63. A plurality of through holes 611 are provided in the crimping plate 61. Further, the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is crimped and positioned in the first recess 1341. The two press blocks 62 crimp and position the second low-conductivity assembly 5 in the second recess 1351.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, in order to display the state of the rechargeable battery 21 in the housing 1, the negative ion generator according to the present invention further includes a light guide element 7. The light guide element 7 is provided so as to straddle between the second opening 121 and the light emitting element 33, and the light of the light emitting element 33 is guided by the light guide element 7 and emits light from the second opening 121 of the second cover 12.

[0025] FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a circuit of a negative ion generator according to an embodiment of the present invention. During charging, charging of the rechargeable battery 21 is performed by a charging protection circuit. During use, the smart key switch 32 is used to turn on the mode, and the DC current of the rechargeable battery 21 is transmitted to a buck-boost circuit and a boost circuit by a high voltage module 22 respectively. The buck-boost circuit boosts and buck-boosts the voltage of the rechargeable battery. The boost circuit first boosts the voltage of the rechargeable battery to DC (direct current) 12 to 24V, and a high voltage circuit supplies a high voltage of 5900 - 10000V to a low conductivity assembly (the first low conductivity assembly 4 or the second low conductivity assembly 5). Therefore, when the low conductivity assembly is adjacent to the object to be affected (including approaching or contacting. In the case of approaching, preferably a distance of 1 to 2 mm is maintained) in a safe situation, an electrostatic effect is generated, and a spark discharge is generated between the pores of the low conductivity assembly and the object to be affected to ionize oxygen near the object to be affected, thereby generating ozone with a concentration of about 0.0475 PPM. The negative oxygen ions contacting the object to be affected are about 800,000 to 1,000,000 cubic millimeters.

[0026] The present invention has the following effects compared with the prior art. A direct current is conducted to a low conductivity assembly (for example, the first low conductivity assembly 4 or / and the second low conductivity assembly 5), and the conductive low conductivity assembly is adjacent to the object to be affected to generate static electricity, and the static electricity acts on oxygen in the nearby atmosphere to generate negative oxygen ions. By doing so, the negative ion generator according to the present invention has the effects of small volume, easy to carry, and high safety.

[0027] Further, the first conductive sheet 42 of the first low-conductivity assembly 4 is sandwiched between a pair of first low-conductivity materials 41, and the second conductive sheet 52 of the second low-conductivity assembly 5 is sandwiched between a pair of second low-conductivity materials 51. The power supply assembly 2 is electrically connected to the first conductive sheet 42 through the first hole 411 to stably and uniformly electrically conduct the first low-conductivity material 41. The power supply assembly 2 is electrically connected to the second conductive sheet 52 through the second hole 511 to stably and uniformly electrically conduct the second low-conductivity material 51.
