Electrostatic atomization apparatus

Abstract

The invention provides an electrostatic atomization device which releases a large amount of ultrafine fog with nanometer dimensions from cold storages, air conditioners, air purifiers, humidifiers, cosmetic instruments and so on, to play the effects of deodorization, sterilization, preservation and so on, in rooms or the cold storages in order to improve indoor environment or the environment in the cold storages. The invention also provides an electrostatic atomization device which releases functional components such as vitamins or catechuic acid without volatility and so on, to the air in the form of the ultrafine fog with the nanometer dimensions. The electrostatic atomization device comprises that: a porous water retaining component (11) is protrudingly provided with a porous release pin component (12) to form a porous shaped body (2) with water absorptivity, water retention property and updraught characteristic, and the porous shaped body (2) is connected with a negative pole (5) to ensure that the porous shaped body (2) is electrified into a direct current high voltage power supply (4) with negative polarity. Moreover, an antipode of positive polarity corresponding to the negative polarity formed by electrifying the porous shaped body (2) does not exist.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrostatic atomization device for releasing ultrafine mist into the air. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, air conditioners and air cleaners have used filters to improve the indoor environment. In addition, in recent years, products that are expected to release mist from air conditioners and air cleaners to regulate indoor humidity, deodorize, and sterilize bacteria have been sold. The main utilization method is to use functional ingredients in health supplements or pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or clothing, etc., and directly absorb them into the human body through the intake of health supplements, the consumption of pharmaceuticals, the application of cosmetics, or the wearing of clothing. [0003] Furthermore, if an ultrasonic generator is used, non-volatile functional components can be atomized and released in the state of an aqueous solution. However, the fog generated by ultrasonic waves has a particle si...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, as the negative ion generation technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, the commercially available nanometer-sized mist generators will generate a large amount of negative ions or generate ozone due to the use of a typical corona discharge.

The reason is that in order to increase the amount of negative ions generated, the end of the mist release substrate is often formed into a pointed shape, so sufficient moisture cannot be absorbed into the end of the mist release substrate, and it cannot be obtained due to the low water retention. Sufficient amount of mist so that it cannot be misted and releases an arbitrary amount of moisture, and since the tip is sharp, it is difficult to release functional ingredients contained in the mist

[0008] In addition, commercially available release mechanisms for releasing functional components into the air include vitamin ion guides in addition to volatile components, but in the generation device using ultrasonic waves, the mist particles are too large in micron order size, so It is difficult to penetrate into the skin, and in the generator using negative ions, although the mist particles are as small as the size of nanometers, because the tip is sharp, it is not possible to obtain a sufficient amount of mist
