DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will not be repeated. In the drawings, an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis, which are orthogonal to each other, are shown. The X-axis and the Y-axis are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the Z-axis is parallel to the vertical direction.

[0011] First, a discharge device 10 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the discharge device 10. Figure 2 is a rear view of the discharge device 10.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the discharge device 10 includes an air guide section 20 and a discharge section 40.

[0013] The airflow guidance section 20 includes a first inclined plate 21, a second inclined plate 22, a third inclined plate 23, and a fourth inclined plate 24. The first to fourth inclined plates 21 to 24 are each formed in a trapezoid shape. The trapezoid has long and short sides that are parallel to each other. The short sides of the first inclined plate 21 and the third inclined plate 23 are longer than the short sides of the second inclined plate 22 and the fourth inclined plate 24. The short sides of each of the first to fourth inclined plates 21 to 24 form a first opening 26 having an ion wind slit 25 extending along the Z-axis direction. The long sides of each of the first to fourth inclined plates 21 to 24 form a second opening 27. Wind flows out of the first opening 26. Wind flows in through the second opening 27. The opening area of ​​the air outlet of the first opening 26 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the air inlet of the second opening 27. Therefore, the wind speed at the air outlet is greater than the wind speed at the air inlet. The first inclined plate 21 to the fourth inclined plate 24 are located between the first opening 26 and the second opening 27. The dimensions of the ion wind slit 25 are, for example, 100 mm in the Z-axis direction and 10 mm in the X-axis direction. The ion wind slit 25 corresponds to an example of a "first slit."

[0014] The air guide section 20 further includes an attachment section 30. The attachment section 30 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate, and extends from the first opening 26 in the circumferential direction of the first opening 26. The attachment section 30 can be molded integrally with the first inclined plate 21 to the fourth inclined plate 24. The attachment section 30 has a first fixing member 31, a second fixing member 32, a third fixing member 33, and a fourth fixing member 34. The first fixing member 31 to the fourth fixing member 34 are arranged at the four corners of the attachment section 30. The first fixing member 31 to the fourth fixing member 34 are, for example, screw-fastened members.

[0015] The discharge unit 40 has a pair of discharge electrodes 41 formed on a circuit board. A pair of protective members 42 is further provided to prevent contact with the discharge electrodes 41. The discharge unit 40 generates discharge factors. Examples of discharge factors include ions or active species. The ions include positive ions (e.g., H + (H2O) m (m is any integer)) or negative ions (e.g., O2 - (H2O) n (n is any integer)) or a combination thereof. Examples of active species include hydroxyl radical (·OH), hydrogen radical (·H), oxygen radical (·O), hydroperoxy radical (·HO2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or ozone (O3).

[0016] The discharge units 40 are located between the first opening 26 and the second opening 27. More specifically, two discharge units 40 are arranged on the inner surface side of the first inclined plate 21 of the first to fourth inclined plates 21 to 24. The airflow guidance unit 20 guides air to the discharge units 40.

[0017] 1 and 2, the discharge unit 40 is located between the first opening 26 and the second opening 27, so that ion wind is blown out from the ion wind slit 25 of the first opening 26. Moreover, because the opening area of ​​the ion wind slit 25 is smaller than the opening area of ​​the suction port of the second opening 27, the wind that flows in from the suction port is collected and flows out from the ion wind slit 25, which suppresses the reduction of ions and blows out wind containing a high concentration of discharge factors.

[0018] Next, an air shower apparatus 100 according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. Figure 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the air shower apparatus 100. Figure 4 is a front view of a panel member 110 in Figure 3. Figure 5 is a rear view of the panel member 110.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the air shower device 100 includes the discharge device 10, a housing section 105, six punker louvers 120, a blower section 130, a duct 140, and an air filter 150.

[0020] The housing section 105 has a rectangular panel member 110 on the front side, and houses the discharge device 10, the punker louver 120, the blower section 130, the duct 140, and the air filter 150.

[0021] The panel member 110 has six wind outlets 112, an ion wind slit 114, and a reinforcing member 116. On the rear side of the panel member 110, the discharge device 10 and a punker louver 120 are attached.

[0022] The reinforcing member 116 is formed at approximately the center of the width in the X-axis direction so as to extend along the Z-axis direction on the back side of the panel member 110. The ion wind slits 114 are formed in the upper half of the panel member 110 so as to extend along the Z-axis direction so as to avoid the reinforcing member 116. The wind outlets 112 are formed in two rows of three, each circular, so as to sandwich the ion wind slits 114 and the reinforcing member 116 in the X-axis direction.

[0023] The mounting portion 30 of the discharge device 10 is fixed to the back side of the panel member 110 by first fixing members 31 to fourth fixing members 34. The ion wind slit 25 of the discharge device 10 is arranged so as to overlap with the ion wind slit 114 of the panel member 110. The dimensions of the ion wind slit 114 are, for example, 100 mm in the Z-axis direction and 15 mm in the X-axis direction. The ion wind slit 114 of the panel member 110 corresponds to an example of a "second slit."

[0024] The puncture louvers 120 are also fixed to the rear surface side of the panel member 110. A puncture louver 120 is attached to each of the six air outlets 112. Note that the puncture louvers 120 are not shown in Figures 4 and 5.

[0025] Four of the six wind outlets 112 are arranged in positions surrounding the ion wind slit 25 of the discharge device 10 and the ion wind slit 114 of the panel member 110. The opening area of ​​each of the ion wind slit 25 of the discharge device 10 and the ion wind slit 114 of the panel member 110 is smaller than the opening area of ​​each of the six wind outlets 112.

[0026] The blower 130 shown in FIG. 3 takes in air through an air intake port (not shown) and blows out the air. The air is guided to an air filter 150 via a duct 140. The air filter 150 is, for example, a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. The air that passes through the air filter 150 is blown out via the discharge device 10 and six puncture louvers 120. The ion wind slit 114 blows out air containing a high concentration of discharge factors. The six air outlets 112 blow out air that does not contain discharge factors.

[0027] The air shower device 100 shown in Figures 3 to 5 can blow air containing high concentrations of discharge factors onto a person. Moreover, since the ion wind slits 114 extend along the Z-axis direction, the air containing high concentrations of discharge factors can be blown onto the entire body of the person.

[0028] In order to increase the concentration of discharge factors, it is preferable that the discharge section 40 be positioned so that the discharge electrode 41 is visible when a person looks into the ion wind slit 114 from the front side of the panel member 110.

[0029] Next, an air shower apparatus 100 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 and Figs. 6 to 8. Fig. 6 is a front view of a panel member 110 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 7 is a rear view of the panel member 110 according to the second embodiment. Fig. 8 is an end view taken along line VIII-VIII in Fig. 7.

[0030] 6 to 8, the reinforcing member 116 is formed at approximately the center of the width in the X-axis direction on the back side of the panel member 110 so as to extend along the Z-axis direction. The ion wind slits 114 are formed in the upper half of the panel member 110 so as to extend along the Z-axis direction so as to overlap with the reinforcing member 116. The wind outlets 112 are formed in two rows of three, each circular, on either side of the ion wind slits 114 and reinforcing member 116 in the X-axis direction.

[0031] The reinforcing member 116 has a guide portion 116a formed as a groove extending along the Z-axis direction. The guide portion 116a slidably guides the attachment portion 30 of the discharge device 10 to position the discharge device 10 relative to the panel member 110.

[0032] The mounting portion 30 of the discharge device 10 is fixed to the back side of the panel member 110 while being guided by the guide portion 116a. The ion wind slit 25 of the discharge device 10 is arranged so as to overlap with the ion wind slit 114 of the panel member 110. The dimensions of the ion wind slit 114 are, for example, 150 mm in the Z-axis direction and 15 mm in the X-axis direction. It is preferable that the dimensions of the ion wind slit 114 in the vertical and horizontal directions be equal to or greater than the dimensions of the ion wind slit 25 of the discharge device 10.

[0033] According to the air shower device 100 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the position of the discharge device 10 relative to the panel member 110 can be easily adjusted.

[0034] Next, a modified example of the panel member 110 will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the panel member 110.

[0035] 9, in the modified example, a guide member 200 for positioning the discharge device 10 (not shown) is provided as a separate member from the reinforcing member 116. The guide member 200 slidably guides the mounting portion 30 of the discharge device 10.

[0036] Next, modified examples of the discharge device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 10(a) to Fig. 10(f). Fig. 10(a) to Fig. 10(f) are diagrams showing modified examples of the discharge device 10. Fig. 10(a) is a perspective view, Fig. 10(b) is a plan view, Fig. 10(c) is a front view, Fig. 10(d) is a bottom view, Fig. 10(e) is a left side view, and Fig. 10(f) is a right side view. However, the discharge unit 40 is not shown.

[0037] 10(a) to 10(f), in the modified example, of the first inclined plate 21 to the fourth inclined plate 24 of the air guide section 20, the fourth inclined plate 24 is perpendicular to the mounting section 30. The discharge section 40 is disposed on the inner surface side of the first inclined plate 21.
