[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. elephant This example illustrates a treatment air generator that is installed in a wig storage device (deodorizing device) that can deodorize and store wigs (hairpieces). The treatment air generator is also an ion generator that emits ionized air as treatment air that has deodorizing, sterilizing, and static-removing effects on the target object.

[0010] (1. Overview of the wig storage device 100) 5 is a perspective view of a wig storage device 100 equipped with an ion generator according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the wig storage device 100 includes an ion generator 2 as a treatment airflow generating device and a stand unit 3.

[0011] The ion generator 2 generates ions by discharge and sends out ion wind as treatment wind. The ions to be generated include positive (+) ions (e.g., H + (H2O) m (m is any natural number)) or negative (-) ions (e.g., O 2- (H2O) n (n is any natural number)) or both.

[0012] Wigs are easily damaged if stored in an electrically charged state. Therefore, when the object is a wig, an ion generator 2 that emits ionized air that can eliminate static electricity in addition to deodorizing is effective, and eliminating static electricity can prevent the wig from deteriorating. Furthermore, regardless of the object, it is preferable to be able to sterilize in addition to deodorizing, and an ion generator 2 that emits ionized air that can sterilize is effective.

[0013] The stand 3 holds the wig 4 and detachably mounts the ion generator 2. The stand 3 allows the ion generator 2 to be mounted at multiple different locations on the wig 4 that are exposed to the ion wind emitted from the ion generator 2.

[0014] (2. Stand part 3) As shown in FIG. 5, the stand 3 has a wig holding portion 15, arms 16, legs 17, a hanging portion 18, and a plurality of installation portions 19. The wig holding portion 15 holds the wig 4 (see FIG. 6) from the inside. In the example of FIG. 5, the wig holding portion 15 has a first frame 15a and a second frame 15b, each of which is formed in an oval shape. The four curved frame portions formed by combining the first frame 15a and the second frame 15b partially contact the inner surface of the wig 4 and hold the wig 4 from the inside.

[0015] 5, the arm portion 16 extends upward above the wig holding portion 15, and its upper end is located higher than the wig holding portion 15. The arm portion 16 ensures space above the wig holding portion 15, making it possible to install the ion generator 2 above the wig holding portion 15. In the example of FIG. 5, the arm portion 16 is formed in an arc shape that curves outward.

[0016] The legs 17 are provided at the bottom of the stand 3, and enable the stand 3 to stand on its own. By providing the legs 17, the wig storage device 100 can be used while placed on a desk or the like. In the example of Fig. 5, the legs 17 have four legs 17a.

[0017] The hanging part 18 is a hook-shaped member provided on the upper part of the stand part 3 facing upward, and allows the stand part 3 to be hung. By providing the hanging part 18, the wig storage device 100 can be used in a state where it is hung from a bar in a closet or the like (see FIG. 8). The hanging part 18 is provided on the upper end of the arm part 16.

[0018] It is preferable that the hanging unit 18 is provided so that the open portion 18a faces the arm unit 16. In this way, the wig storage device 100 can be easily hung from a bar or the like of a closet with the arm unit 16 side positioned at the back of the closet and the wig holding unit 15 side positioned at the front of the closet (see FIG. 8). By hanging the wig storage device 100 with the wig holding unit 15 side facing the front of the closet, it is easy to place the wig 4 on the wig holding unit 15 and to remove the wig 4 placed (held) in the wig holding unit 15.

[0019] The installation section 19 is for detachably installing the ion generator 2 on the stand section 3. The installation sections 19 are provided at multiple locations on the stand section 3 so that the ion generators 2 can be installed at multiple locations on the stand section 3. The ion winds emitted from the ion generators 2 installed on each installation section 19 are adapted to hit different parts of the wig 4. In the example of FIG. 5, the installation sections 19 are provided at three locations, referred to as first installation section 19A to third installation section 19C.

[0020] The first installation section 19A is provided below the wig holding section 15, and the ion generator 2 is installed below the wig holding section 15 with the airflow direction facing upward. More specifically, the first installation section 19A is configured as a recess 23 formed in the center of the four legs 17a of the leg section 17. The inner shape of the recess 23 corresponds to the outer shape (corresponding to the first locking section) of the lower part of the case 10 of the ion generator 2, which will be described later, and can stably hold the ion generator 2. Although not shown, a recess is formed at the bottom of the recess 23, at the intersection of the first frame 15a and the second frame 15b. When the ion generator 2 is installed on the first installation section 19A, the hook 6 of the ion generator 2 fits into this recess.

[0021] The second installation section 19B is provided at the upper end of the arm section 16, and the ion generator 2 is installed at the upper end of the arm section 16 with the airflow direction facing downward. More specifically, the second installation section 19B is configured with a hook 24 formed facing downward at the upper end of the arm section 16. By hooking the hook 6 of the ion generator 2 onto the hook 24, the ion generator 2 can be held in a suspended state.

[0022] The hook 24 is preferably provided so that the open portion 24a faces away from the arm portion 16. In a configuration in which the open portion 24a faces the arm portion 16, it is necessary to first pass the ion generator 2 under the hook 24 and then lift it up to hang it. However, by facing the open portion 24a away from the arm portion 16, the ion generator 2 can be easily hung without passing under the hook 24. The arm portion 16 is provided with a hook 21 that can be used to hang the power cable 11 of the ion generator 2 installed on the second installation portion 19B.

[0023] The third installation section 19C is provided inside the upper part of the wig holding section 15, and the ion generator 2 is installed inside the upper part of the wig holding section 15 with the airflow direction facing downward. More specifically, the third installation section 19C is configured by a hook 25 formed on the second frame 15b of the wig holding section 15. By hooking the hook 6 of the ion generator 2 onto the hook 25, the ion generator 2 can be held in a hanging state.

[0024] Like the hook 24, the hook 25 is preferably provided so that the open portion 25a faces away from the arm portion 16. By facing the open portion 25a away from the arm portion 16, the ion generator 2 can be easily hung on the hook 25 without having to go under the hook 25. The second frame 15b is provided with a hook 22 that can be used to hang the power cable 11 of the ion generator 2 installed on the third installation portion 19C.

[0025] (3. Ion Generator 2) Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an ion generator 2 according to this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cutting plane D1 in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cutting plane D2 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a region A1 in Fig. 2.

[0026] 1, the ion generator 2 in this embodiment has a bell-shaped case 10, and an air outlet 5 is provided on the circular surface of the case 10 that is the mouth side of the bell shape. A hook 6 (locking portion, second locking portion) for suspending and installing the ion generator 2 is provided on the curved surface of the case 10 on the opposite side to the air outlet 5. For ease of explanation, the side on which the air outlet 5 is provided will be referred to as the "top" and the curved surface side on which the hook 6 is provided will be referred to as the "bottom."

[0027] Intake ports 7 are formed in the side wall of case 10 that connects the air outlet 5 side to the opposite side where hook 6 is located. Intake ports 7 are provided in the lower part of the side wall of case 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower part of the side wall of case 10 has a tapered shape where two opposing surfaces approach each other. Intake ports 7 are provided on both sides of this tapered portion so as to face each other.

[0028] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the case 10 is equipped inside with a discharge device (discharge section) 8, a blower fan (air blower section) 9, an air duct 12, and the like. The discharge device 8 generates particles (at least particles that deodorize) by electric discharge. In this embodiment, it generates ions that deodorize, disinfect, and eliminate static electricity. The blower fan 9 draws air through the air inlet 7, and the air duct 12 guides the drawn air to the air outlet 5. The air duct 12 is formed to connect the air inlet 7 and the air outlet 5, and the blower fan 9 is disposed in the air duct 12. The discharge device 8 is disposed facing the air duct 12, and a discharge section 8a that discharges ions is located in the air duct 12.

[0029] In this embodiment, a sirocco fan is provided as the blower fan 9. The discharge unit 8a of the discharge device 8 is provided with two brush electrodes 8b as electrodes. One of the brush electrodes 8b generates positive ions by discharge, and the other brush electrode 8b generates negative ions by discharge. IssuedTo give birth to.

[0030] By driving the blower fan 9, air is sucked in through the air inlet 7 and then sent out to the air duct 12. The air sent out to the air duct 12 contains ions emitted from the discharge device 8, becoming an ion wind, which is then blown out from the air outlet 5.

[0031] The above-mentioned hook 6 is used to hang and install the ion generator 2, and is an engaging part that allows the ion generator 2 to be detachably installed on the stand unit 3. By installing the ion generator 2 on the stand unit 3 using the hook 6, detachable installation is achieved. In this embodiment, the hook 6 is a rotating hook that rotatably supports the ion generator 2 (case 10), and is rotatable in a hanging state.

[0032] In this embodiment, the ion generator 2 has an outer shape (first locking portion) 10e of the lower part of the case 10 as a locking portion separate from the hook 6. The outer shape 10e corresponds to the inner shape of the recess 23 (see FIG. 5 ) that constitutes the first installation portion 19A in the stand 3 described above. By installing the ion generator 2 on the stand 3 using the outer shape 10e of the lower part of the case 10, a detachable installation is achieved. By matching the inner shape of the recess 23 with the outer shape 10e of the lower part of the case 10, the ion generator 2 can be stably held on the stand 3.

[0033] Moreover, in this embodiment, the blower fan 9 is disposed on the lower side, which is the end side opposite to the air outlet 5, and therefore the center of gravity of the ion generator 2 is located on the lower side. This allows the ion generator 2 to be held even more stably when installed on the first installation part 19A of the stand 3.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 1, an operating unit 20 that accepts operations such as turning the ion generator 2 on and off is also provided on the top surface of the ion generator 2 on which the air outlet 5 is formed. The air outlet 5 is located on one side of the top surface of the ion generator 2 in the radial direction (it is located offset to one side on the top surface, or located to one side of the center of the top surface), and the operating unit 20 is provided on the other side. By providing the air outlet 5 on one side in this way, it becomes possible to arrange the operating unit 20 and the like on the other side, thereby achieving a reduction in product size. A recess 10a that is recessed radially inward is formed in the upper part of the side wall of the case 10 located below the operating unit 20.

[0035] By forming such recess 10a, protruding portion 10b that protrudes radially outward is formed below operating unit 20. A circuit board 13 that drives discharge device 8 and blower fan 9 is disposed inside protruding portion 10b, on the underside of operating unit 20. A connection portion 30 for connecting power cable 11 is provided on the underside 10c of protruding portion 10b (the surface facing away from air outlet 5 of recess 10a).

[0036] 4, the connection portion 30 includes a board-side connection terminal (connection portion) 31 connected to the circuit board 13. The board-side connection terminal 31 is located inside an opening 10d formed in the lower surface 10c of the protruding portion 10b. A cable-side connection terminal 32 provided at one end of the power cable 11 is inserted into the connection portion 30 from below the protruding portion 10b through the opening 10d provided in the lower surface 10c, and is connected to the board-side connection terminal 31.

[0037] In this way, by providing recess 10a and forming opening 10d on its lower surface 10c to provide connection portion 30, the direction in which power cable 11 is connected can be set to the direction from the opposite side (lower side) of air outlet 5 toward air outlet 5 (upward direction). As a result, when ion generator 2 is viewed from the side where air outlet 5 is present, the connection portion of power cable 11 does not protrude toward the outside of case 10, and the product size can be made smaller. Furthermore, because recess 10a has a smoothly curved surface on the opposite side (lower side) of air outlet 5, cable-side connection terminal 32 can be inserted into opening 10d more smoothly than when the lower side is a vertical surface.

[0038] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the air passage 12 is located on one side in a side view, and the recess 10a is formed on the other side. In other words, when the ion generator 2 is viewed from the air outlet 5 side, the air passage 12 is located on one side, and the recess 10a is located on the other side. By arranging the air passage 12 on one side, an empty space is created on the other side, and this empty space is used to provide the recess 10a. This allows for optimization of the component layout, which also makes it possible to reduce the product size. In this embodiment, as described above, a sirocco fan is used as the blower fan 9, which makes it easy to arrange the air passage 12 on one side, and thus makes it possible to reduce the product size.

[0039] 4, the opening 10d is provided with a rib 34 as a reinforcing structure surrounding the board-side connection terminal 31. The rib 34 may be formed integrally with the case 10, or may be formed by fitting a separate part into the opening 10d. By providing the rib 34 in the opening 10d and surrounding the periphery of the board-side connection terminal 31 with the rib 34, the board-side connection terminal 31 can be protected. This makes it possible to prevent disconnection between the board-side connection terminal 31 and the circuit board 13 due to prying of the cable-side connection terminal 32 when attaching the power cable 11 to the connection portion 30 or gripping the ion generator 2.

[0040] A dedicated AC adapter (not shown) is provided at the other end of the power cable 11, and AC (alternating current) power is converted to DC (direct current) and supplied to the circuit board. A USB terminal (not shown) may be provided at the other end of the power cable 11, and the USB terminal may be connected to the AC adapter.

[0041] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1 , a groove 29 for fitting the power cable 11 is formed on the outer surface of the case 10. The groove 29 extends from the air outlet 5 side toward the opposite side. In a configuration in which the connection portion 30 is provided on the side where the air outlet 5 is located, the power cable 11 extends from the side where the air outlet 5 is located, which may get in the way when the ion generator 2 is held in the hand. However, by forming the groove 29 on the outer surface of the case 10 and fitting the power cable 11 into the groove 29 in this manner, a usability comparable to a structure in which the power cable 11 extends from the end side (lower side) opposite the side where the air outlet 5 is located (upper side) can be obtained. Moreover, because the end of the groove 29 is exposed in the recess 10 a, the power cable 11 can be fitted directly into the groove 29 from the recess 10 a.

[0042] Furthermore, as shown by the imaginary lines in FIG. 2 , the ion generator 2 may include a lid 35 for closing the recess 10a, the groove 29, or both. Closing the recess 10a with the lid 35 can prevent water, dust, and the like from entering the interior through the opening 10d. Closing the groove 29 with the lid 35 can ensure that the power cable 11 is securely fitted into the groove 29. Closing the recess 10a and the groove 29 with the lid 35 can also improve the appearance of the ion generator 2. Furthermore, a rib may be provided on the inside of the lid 35 (on the groove 29 side) facing the groove 29. By providing the rib, the power cable 11 can be pushed into the groove 29 by the rib.

[0043] (4. Usage example) 6 to 9 are diagrams illustrating examples of using the ion generator 2. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the ion generator 2 is installed in the first installation section 19A of the stand section 3 using the outer shape 10e of the lower section. As shown in FIG. 6, by installing the ion generator 2 in the lower section of the stand section 3 with the air outlet 5 facing upward, ionic wind can be directed toward the inner surface of the wig 4 held in the wig holding section 15. This allows the inner surface of the wig 4 (the surface facing the scalp) to be effectively deodorized, disinfected, and neutralized. This method of use can effectively eliminate scalp odors and other odors that have adhered to the inside of the wig 4, for example.

[0044] FIG. 7 shows an example in which the ion generator 2 is installed on the second installation section 19B of the stand section 3 using the hook 6. As shown in FIG. 7, by installing the ion generator 2 on the upper part of the stand section 3 with the air outlet 5 facing downward, ionized air can be directed onto the outer surface of the wig 4 held by the wig holding section 15. This allows the outside of the wig 4 to be effectively deodorized, disinfected, and neutralized. This method of use can effectively eliminate odors such as cigarette smoke that have adhered to the outside of the wig 4, for example.

[0045] FIG. 8 shows an example in which the ion generator 2 is installed on the third installation section 19C of the stand section 3 using the hook 6. The stand section 3 is suspended using the suspension section 18. As shown in FIG. 8, by installing the ion generator 2 in the center of the stand section 3 with the air outlet 5 facing downward, ionized air can be directed toward the ends of the wig 4 held by the wig holding section 15. Furthermore, by using the stand section 3 in a suspended state, ionized air can be directed all the way to the ends of even a wig 4 with long hair. This allows ions to be effectively distributed to the ends of the hair, even for a wig 4 with long hair, thereby deodorizing, disinfecting, and eliminating static electricity.

[0046] Furthermore, since the hook 6 of the ion generator 2 is a rotating hook, when the ion generator 2 is used while hanging from the stand 3 as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the orientation of the air outlet 5 can be manually changed. This allows the ion convection region to be changed. As will be described later, a louver may be provided at the air outlet 5 of the ion generator 2 so that the ion wind is blown out obliquely relative to the normal direction of the surface on which the air outlet 5 is formed. With this configuration, it becomes possible to rotate the ion generator 2 with the wind force of the ion wind blown out from one side, further expanding the ion convection region.

[0047] 9 shows an example in which the ion generator 2 is detached from the stand 3 and held by hand. As shown in FIG. 9, the ion generator 2 may be held in use. This allows focused deodorization and static elimination of any desired part of the wig 4. In addition, the wig 4 held by the wig holder 15 may be brushed while ionized air is blown onto it (while ionized air is emitted toward the wig 4).

[0048] (5. Modifications) The ion generator 2 may have a louver structure at the air outlet 5 that sends out the ion wind at an angle relative to the normal direction of the surface where the air outlet is located. By providing a louver structure at the air outlet 5, the ion generator 2 can be rotated by the air (ionic wind) blown out from the air outlet 5. In addition to the above-mentioned configuration in which the louver is provided, the side wall (outer periphery of the housing) of the case 10 of the ion generator 2 may have a louver structure. surface) A separate air outlet may be provided in the hook 6 to blow out air for rotating the ion generator 2. Even in this configuration, the ion generator 2 can be rotated by the wind generated by the blower fan 9. A drive unit that rotates the ion generator 2 by a motor may be provided near the hook 6 without using wind.

[0049] In this embodiment, the ion generator 2 is exemplified as the treatment airflow generating device, but the treatment airflow generating device may be any discharge device that generates particles such as ions, electrons, ozone, radicals, active species, charged particles, etc. by discharging. When ions, which are an example of charged particles, are generated, the device may be configured to generate both positive ions and negative ions, or to generate either positive ions or negative ions.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotatable hook 6 and the outer shape 10e of the lower part of the case 10 are exemplified as locking parts for detachably installing the ion generator 2 on the stand 3. However, the locking parts are not limited to these and may be any part that detachably installs the ion generator 2 on the stand 3, such as a non-rotating hook or a hook-and-loop fastener.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the configuration is exemplified as being mounted on the wig storage device 100 that holds and stores wigs, but the object to be treated with ionic wind is not limited to wigs. For example, the device can be mounted on a device that holds and stores hats, helmets, shoes, boots, etc.

[0052] 〔summary〕 The treatment air generator (ion generator 2) according to aspect 1 of the present invention is a treatment air generator that blows out treatment air, which is air containing particles, and is equipped with a blower section (blower fan) that draws in air from an intake port 7, an air duct 12 that guides the air drawn in by the blower section to an outlet port, a discharge section (discharge device 8) that is arranged facing the air duct 12 and generates particles by electric discharge, a connection section 30 that is provided on the outlet port 5 side of the treatment air generator and to which a power cable 11 is connected, a case 10 that has the intake port 7 and the outlet port 5 and houses the blower section, the air duct, and the discharge section, a locking section (hook 6, lower outer shape 10e) that allows the treatment air generator to be detachably installed on a support (stand section 3), and a groove section 29 formed on the outer surface of the case 10 for fitting the power cable 11, which extends from the outlet port 5 side to the opposite side.

[0053] According to the above configuration, the treatment air generator is detachably attached to the support using a locking portion. Therefore, the treatment air generator detached from the support can be used to blow treatment air onto any part of an object to deodorize it. Furthermore, in the above configuration, the connection portion 30 is provided on the outlet 5 side, and the power cable 11 extends from the outlet 5 side, which may be a hindrance when holding the treatment air generator in one's hand. However, in the above configuration, a groove 29 extending from the outlet 5 side to the opposite side is formed on the outer surface of the case 10. By fitting the power cable 11 into the groove 29, a usability comparable to that of a structure in which the power cable extends from the end opposite the outlet 5 can be achieved. This allows for a user-friendly treatment air generator that can blow treatment air onto any part of an object to deodorize it.

[0054] The treatment airflow generation device (ion generator 2) according to the second aspect of the present invention may further include a cover 35 for closing the groove 29 in the first aspect.

[0055] The treated air generation device (ion generator 2) according to aspect 3 of the present invention may further be configured in aspect 1 or 2 such that a side surface of the case 10 connecting the side of the outlet 5 to the opposite side thereof is provided with a recess 10a recessed toward the inside of the case 10 on the side of the outlet 5, the connecting portion 30 being located on the surface (lower surface 10c) of the recess 10a facing away from the outlet, and the end of the groove portion 29 being exposed to the recess 10a.

[0056] According to the above configuration, a recess 10a is formed in the side surface of the case 10 on the side of the air outlet 5 that is recessed toward the inside of the case 10, and the connection portion 30 is located on the surface of the recess 10a facing away from the air outlet 5. With this configuration, the direction in which the power cable 11 is connected can be set to the direction from the opposite side of the air outlet 5 toward the air outlet 5.
