no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0072] First, the air conditioner of the first embodiment will be described. 1A and 1B are diagrams showing the appearance of an air-conditioning apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view, and FIG. 1B is a plan view. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B , the air conditioner 100 has a front panel 101 at the front of a main body 110 . The front panel 101 is provided at a predetermined interval in front of the main body 110 for air intake. In addition, the front panel 101 has an opening at its central portion through which air is taken in from the outside to the inside of the main body 110 .

[0073] The center panel 102 is attached to the main body 110 behind the opening of the front panel 101 . Therefore, since the front panel 101 and the center panel 102 block the line of sight, the inside of the main body cannot be seen from the front. A display unit 103 is provided above the front panel 101 . In addition, this part of the display u...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0189] In the air-conditioning apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment described above, when the operation mode determination process shown in FIG. 15 is executed, whether or not to use the predicted cleaning mode is automatically determined. In the air-conditioning apparatus 100A of the second embodiment, the user can select whether or not to set the operation mode to the predictive cleaning mode. Therefore, 100 A of air-conditioning apparatuses of 2nd Embodiment have the prediction cleaning mode operation switch for switching an operation mode to a prediction cleaning mode. Furthermore, it has a function of notifying the user that the indoor air state is a state suitable for operation in the predictive cleaning mode. Next, differences from the air-conditioning apparatus 100 of the first embodiment will be described.

[0190] 18A and 18B are diagrams showing the appearance of an air-conditioning apparatus 100A according to the second embodiment. 100 A of 2nd air-con...

Abstract

In order to effectively kill indoor planktonic bacteria, the ion generating device has an ion generating unit (10), a temperature sensor (151) for detecting temperature, and a humidity sensor (152) for detecting humidity. The detection result and the humidity detection result detected by the humidity sensor (152) control the ion generator. Because it generates ions corresponding to temperature and humidity, it can effectively kill planktonic bacteria.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ion generating device and an air conditioning device, in particular to an ion generating device and an air conditioning device for sterilizing indoor air. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known an ion generator that ionizes water vapor present in space. As this ion generator, there is a device using a creeping discharge method. In the existing ion generating device, when an AC voltage is applied to the ion generating element, positive ions and negative ions are generated. It is known that the generated positive and negative ions can remove fungi, planktonic bacteria or viruses in the air. [0003] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-83593 describes a technique of applying this ion generator to an air conditioner to suppress fungi. The air conditioner described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-83593 uses an ion generator to generate positive and negative io...
