Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] The power-saving device described in Patent Document 1 has some problems because it is made of a radioactive magnetic material.
[0006] Since radioactive magnetic materials emit radiation, they may pose a danger to surrounding organisms. In particular, long-term exposure has a risk of causing cancer and genetic effects.
[0007] When radioactive substances are released into the environment, they may pollute the soil, water sources, and air, and have an adverse impact on the ecosystem. It is very difficult to restore a once-polluted environment.
[0008] In particular, the energy-saving device described in Patent Document 1 is used by attaching it to the circuit breaker in the distribution board of a typical household, and therefore is considered to pose an extremely high risk of harming health and the environment.
[0009] In view of these circumstances, the object of the present invention is to provide a power-saving card-shaped medium and a method for installing the power-saving card-shaped medium that can achieve power-saving effects while eliminating risks to health and the environment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The energy-saving card-shaped medium according to the present invention has a negatively charged powder whose main component is tourmaline.
[0012] The energy-saving card-shaped medium according to the present invention emits negative ions at a rate of 3,000 ions / cm³. 3 ~20,000 pieces / cm 3 That is the case.
[0013] The energy-saving card-shaped medium according to the present invention comprises a first polyvinyl chloride layer disposed on the first surface side of the negative ion emitting layer and a second polyvinyl chloride layer disposed on the second surface side of the negative ion emitting layer.
[0014] The method for installing the energy-saving card-shaped medium according to the present invention involves measuring the amount of discharge in the area near the main breaker on the surface of a distribution board using a discharge measuring instrument, and attaching the energy-saving card-shaped medium having a negative ion emission layer containing at least the negatively charged powder that emits negative ions to the location in the area where the amount of discharge is large.

[Figure 2] It is a top view of the card-shaped medium for power saving shown in FIG. 1. [Figure 3] It is a figure for explaining a method of installing a card-shaped medium for power saving according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a front view of a distribution board. [Figure 4] It is a figure showing a state where a card-shaped medium for power saving according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to a distribution board.
Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described while referring to the drawings.
[0018] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a card-shaped medium for power saving according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a top view of the card-shaped medium for power saving.
[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the card-shaped medium 1 for power saving is attached near the main breaker on the surface of the distribution board, and has a negative ion emission layer 11, a first polyvinyl chloride layer 12, and a second polyvinyl chloride layer 13.
[0020] The size of the card-shaped medium 1 for power saving is 36 mm in length and 54 mm in width. It is an optimal size that can optimize the power-saving effect by attaching it to a desired area near the main breaker on the surface of the distribution board. However, this size is only an example and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0021] The negative ion emitting layer 11 of the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 is 1 mm thick, and the first and second polyvinyl chloride layers 12 and 13 are each 0.25 mm thick, resulting in an overall thickness of 1.5 mm and a weight of 9 g. These thicknesses and weights are merely examples and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0022] The negative ion emitting layer 11 contains negatively charged powder that emits negative ions. The negatively charged powder is typically tourmaline-based and is composed, for example, by mixing the negatively charged powder with polyvinyl chloride.
[0023] Tourmaline can be used as a negatively charged powder. Tourmaline itself is a natural ore, and is a mineral particularly characterized by its electrical properties. Specifically, tourmaline is a mineral with piezoelectric and thermoelectric properties, and can become electrically charged under certain conditions, so it is a substance that can have a negative electrostatic charge. For example, by crushing tourmaline, a fine powder can be obtained, and because this powder has a large surface area, its charge properties become more pronounced.
[0024] Furthermore, in the process of crushing tourmaline crystals to create a fine powder, it is important to adjust the particle size of the powder. It is also possible to enhance the negative charge of the crushed tourmaline powder by electrostatically charging it using friction or other methods.
[0025] However, the negatively charged powder according to the present invention may be any raw material that emits negative ions, and is not limited to tourmaline.
[0026] In the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 according to this embodiment, the amount of negatively charged powder made of tourmaline is set such that the amount of negative ions released is 16,000 ions / cm³. 3 The amount of negative ions emitted by the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 according to the present invention is not limited to this, and the amount of negative ions emitted is 3,000 ions / cm³. 3 ~20,000 pieces / cm 3It is acceptable as long as it is within this range. The amount of negative ions emitted is 3,000 ions / cm³. 3 Smaller sizes offer almost no energy-saving effect, and the negative ion emission rate is 20,000 ions / cm³. 3 This was because it was difficult to configure it to exceed that value.
[0027] The first polyvinyl chloride layer 12 is attached to the first surface side of the negative ion emission layer 11, and becomes the surface side when this energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 is attached to a desired area near the main breaker on the surface of the distribution board.
[0028] The second polyvinyl chloride layer 13 is attached to the second surface side of the negative ion emission layer 11, and becomes the back side when this energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 is attached to a desired area near the main breaker on the surface of the distribution board.
[0029] The second polyvinyl chloride layer 13 may have an adhesive layer, for example, made of double-sided tape, on the side opposite to the negative ion emission layer 11, that is, on the back side of the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 (not shown in the figure).
[0030] The polyvinyl chloride constituting the first and second polyvinyl chloride layers 12 and 13 is highly flame-retardant and classified as a self-extinguishing resin, and moreover, its raw material cost is low, so it is possible to construct a safe and cost-effective energy-saving card-shaped medium 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this and other materials may be used.
[0031] In the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 according to this embodiment, an energy-saving effect can be obtained while eliminating risks to health and the environment by employing a negative ion emitting layer 11 that contains negatively charged powder that emits negative ions, typically mainly composed of tourmaline.
[0032] Next, the installation method for the power-saving card-shaped medium 1 configured in this way to the distribution board will be explained based on Figure 3.
[0033] As shown in Figure 3, the main circuit breaker 21, with ampere circuit breakers 22 and branch circuit breakers 23 on either side, are arranged on the surface of the distribution board 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, first, the discharge amount in the area 24 near the main breaker 21 on the surface of the distribution board 2 is measured using a discharge measuring instrument (not shown), and the location with the largest discharge amount within this area 24 is identified.
[0035] Next, the energy-saving card-shaped media 1 is attached to the distribution board 2 such that the position with the largest discharge amount is at its center. An example of the state in which the energy-saving card-shaped media 1 is attached to the surface of the distribution board 2 is shown in Figure 4. In this embodiment, one energy-saving card-shaped media 1 is attached for each rated capacity current of 100A of the distribution board 2.
[0036] In the installation method according to this embodiment, the area 24 near the main breaker 21 in the distribution board 2 has the largest alternating current flowing through it. Therefore, by identifying the location within this area 24 where the discharge amount is greatest and attaching the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 to that location, the energy-saving effect can be further enhanced.
[0037] Here, when current flows through a circuit, electric field energy is released, creating resistance, which is converted into thermal energy, causing a decrease in voltage (voltage drop phenomenon). To suppress this phenomenon, the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 according to the present invention incorporates negative charges, thereby suppressing the release of electric field energy, improving energy efficiency, and preventing voltage drop. Furthermore, when negative charges are placed in an alternating magnetic field, the Lorentz force acts due to fluctuations in the magnetic field, accelerating the negative charges. This acceleration causes energy conversion, influencing the surrounding electric field and generating a new electric field. As a result, an induced current is generated within the conductor, and this induced current is thought to produce the energy-saving effect. In this way, the energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 according to the present invention suppresses the voltage drop phenomenon by suppressing electric field energy and utilizing induced current, thereby improving energy efficiency and saving energy.
[0038] The table below shows the experimental results using this energy-saving card-shaped medium 1 (product name: Enecon). These experimental results clearly demonstrate an energy-saving effect.
