Description
本発明は、集塵装置に関し、特に、集塵用の電極の構造に係るものである。 The present invention relates to a dust collector, and particularly relates to a structure of a dust collecting electrode.
従来より、電気的な引力を利用して空気等に含まれる粉塵を捕集する電気式の集塵装置が知られている。例えば、特許文献1には、矩形断面の通気孔が多数形成された格子状の集塵電極と、集塵電極の通気孔へ1つずつ挿入される突起部が形成された対向電極とを備える集塵装置が開示されている。この集塵装置において、対向極の突起部は、その断面形状が矩形状となっており、その側面が通気孔の内壁面と向かい合っている。集塵電極と対向電極の間に電位差を付与すると、通気孔の内壁面と突起部の表面との間の空間に電界が形成される。そのため、通気孔を流れる気体中の粒子は、通気孔の内壁に引き寄せられて捕捉される。
ところが、上記従来の集塵装置では、通気孔の内壁面と突起部の表面との間の空間に形成される電界強度が均一でなく、そのため通気孔の内壁面に捕捉される塵埃の量が場所によって相違するという問題があった。ここでは、この問題点について、図17を参照しながら説明する。 However, in the above conventional dust collector, the electric field strength formed in the space between the inner wall surface of the vent hole and the surface of the protrusion is not uniform, so the amount of dust trapped on the inner wall surface of the vent hole is small. There was a problem of differences depending on the location. Here, this problem will be described with reference to FIG.
突起部(102)の側面と、通気孔(101)の内壁面のうち突起部(102)の側面と向かい合った部分である対面部(103)との距離は、一定の値Lとなっている。そのため、この対面部(103)と突起部(102)との間に形成される電界の強度は一様となり、各対面部(103)では単位面積当たりに付着する塵埃の量が概ね一定となる。 The distance between the side surface of the projecting portion (102) and the facing portion (103) that is the portion of the inner wall surface of the vent hole (101) facing the side surface of the projecting portion (102) is a constant value L. . Therefore, the intensity of the electric field formed between the facing portion (103) and the protruding portion (102) is uniform, and the amount of dust adhering per unit area is substantially constant at each facing portion (103). .
ところが、通気孔(101)の内壁面のうち突起部(102)と対面しない非対面部(104)(即ち、図17においてハッチングを付した部分)と突起部(102)との距離L'は、対面部(103)と突起部(102)との距離Lよりも長くなる。このため、非対面部(104)と突起部(102)の間に形成される電界の強度は、対面部(103)と突起部(102)の間に形成される電界の強度に比べて弱くなる。従って、この非対面部(104)では、突起部(102)から離れた部分ほど付着する塵埃の量が少なくなる。そして、非対面部(104)における単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量は、対面部(103)における単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量に比べて少なくなる。その結果、通気孔(101)の内壁面の全体を有効に利用して塵埃を捕集することができなくなり、集塵装置の性能を充分に発揮させることができなかった。 However, the distance L ′ between the protrusion (102) and the non-facing portion (104) that does not face the protrusion (102) on the inner wall surface of the vent hole (101) and the protrusion (102) is It becomes longer than the distance L between the facing portion (103) and the protruding portion (102). For this reason, the strength of the electric field formed between the non-facing portion (104) and the protruding portion (102) is weaker than the strength of the electric field formed between the facing portion (103) and the protruding portion (102). Become. Therefore, in the non-facing portion (104), the amount of dust adhering to the portion farther from the protrusion (102) becomes smaller. Further, the amount of dust attached per unit area on the non-facing portion (104) is smaller than the amount of dust attached per unit area on the facing portion (103). As a result, dust cannot be collected by effectively using the entire inner wall surface of the vent hole (101), and the performance of the dust collector could not be fully exhibited.
本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、集塵電極と対向電極の間に形成される電界の強度を平均化することによって、集塵装置の性能を充分に発揮させることにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and the object thereof is to fully demonstrate the performance of the dust collector by averaging the strength of the electric field formed between the dust collecting electrode and the counter electrode. There is to make it.
第1の発明は、被処理気体を流すための通気孔(46)が形成された集塵電極(40)と、該集塵電極(40)の通気孔(46)に挿通される突起部(52)が形成された対向電極(50)とを備え、上記集塵電極(40)と対向電極(50)の間に電位差を与えることによって、被処理気体中の帯電した塵埃を上記通気孔(46)の壁面に付着させて捕集する集塵装置を対象とする。そして、上記集塵電極(40)の通気孔(46)は、その断面形状が多角形状となり、上記対向電極(50)の突起部(52)は、その断面形状が上記通気孔(46)の断面形状と同数の頂点を有する多角形状となり、該突起部(52)の角部が上記通気孔(46)の隅部と対向するように配置され、上記集塵電極(40)では、上記通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面が、該隅部に対向する突起部(52)の角部へ向かって膨出しているものである。 The first invention is a dust collection electrode (40) in which a vent hole (46) for flowing a gas to be treated is formed, and a protrusion (42) inserted through the vent hole (46) of the dust collection electrode (40). 52) having a counter electrode (50) formed thereon, and by applying a potential difference between the dust collecting electrode (40) and the counter electrode (50), the charged dust in the gas to be treated 46) The dust collector that collects by adhering to the wall surface. And, the vent hole (46) of the dust collecting electrode (40) has a polygonal cross-sectional shape, and the protrusion (52) of the counter electrode (50) has a cross-sectional shape of the vent hole (46). The polygonal shape has the same number of vertices as the cross-sectional shape, and the corners of the protrusions (52) are arranged to face the corners of the vent hole (46). The wall surface at the corner of the pore (46) bulges toward the corner of the protrusion (52) facing the corner.
第1の発明では、集塵電極(40)の通気孔(46)に対向電極(50)の突起部(52)が挿通される。集塵電極(40)と対向電極(50)の間に電位差を付与すると、通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)との間の空間に電界が形成され、帯電した塵埃が電気的な引力によって通気孔(46)の壁面に引き寄せられる。この発明では、通気孔(46)の断面形状と突起部(52)の断面形状とが互いに同数の角を有する多角形状となっており、通気孔(46)の壁面の隅部と突起部(52)の角部とが互いに向かい合っている。集塵電極(40)において、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面は、その隅部と向かい合う突起部(52)の角部に向かって膨出している。このため、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面が膨出していない場合に比べ、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面と突起部(52)との距離が短縮される。そして、通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)の間に形成される空間では、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面と突起部(52)との間の部分に形成される電界の強度と、それ以外の部分に形成される電界の強度との差が小さくなる。 In the first invention , the protrusion (52) of the counter electrode (50) is inserted into the vent hole (46) of the dust collecting electrode (40). When a potential difference is applied between the dust collection electrode (40) and the counter electrode (50), an electric field is formed in the space between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion (52), and the charged dust is electrically Is attracted to the wall surface of the vent hole (46) by a strong attractive force. In the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the vent hole (46) and the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion (52) are polygonal shapes having the same number of corners, and the corners of the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion ( 52) are facing each other. In the dust collecting electrode (40), the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) bulges toward the corner of the projection (52) facing the corner. For this reason, compared with the case where the wall surface of the corner of the vent hole (46) is not bulged, the distance between the wall surface of the corner of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion (52) is shortened. Then, in the space formed between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion portion (52), the electric field formed at the portion between the wall surface of the corner portion of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion portion (52). And the difference between the strength of the electric field formed in the other portion and the strength of the other portion become small.
また、第1の発明は、上記の構成に加えて、上記通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面は、その断面形状が内向きに湾曲した円弧となっているものである。 In the first invention, in addition to the above configuration, the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) is an arc whose cross-sectional shape is curved inward.
第1の発明の集塵電極(40)において、突起部(52)の角部へ向かって膨出する通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面は、その断面形状が内向きに湾曲した円弧となっている。つまり、この発明の通気孔(46)は、その断面形状が、角の丸まった多角形状になっている。 In the dust collecting electrode (40) of the first invention , the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) that bulges toward the corner of the protrusion (52) has an arc whose cross-sectional shape is curved inward. It has become. That is, the vent hole (46) of the present invention has a polygonal shape with rounded corners.
また、第1の発明は、上記の構成に加えて、上記通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面の断面形状は、該隅部と対向する突起部(52)の角部を曲率中心とする円弧となっているものである。 In the first invention, in addition to the above configuration, the cross-sectional shape of the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) is centered on the corner of the protrusion (52) facing the corner. It is an arc.
第1の発明において、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面の断面形状は、その隅部と対向する突起部(52)の角部を曲率中心とする円弧となっている。このため、隅部の壁面と突起部(52)との距離は、隅部の全体に亘って一定となり、更には通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)の間の空間の全域に亘って一定となる。 In the first invention, the cross-sectional shape of the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) is an arc whose center of curvature is the corner of the protrusion (52) facing the corner. For this reason, the distance between the wall surface of the corner and the protrusion (52) is constant over the entire corner, and further over the entire space between the wall of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion (52). It becomes constant over time.
第2の発明は、上記第1の発明において、上記集塵電極(40)の材質が導電性樹脂となっているものである。 According to a second invention, in the first invention , the material of the dust collecting electrode (40) is a conductive resin.
第2の発明において、少なくとも集塵電極(40)は、その材質が導電性樹脂となっている。導電性樹脂からなる集塵電極(40)は、例えば射出成形等の手法を用いて成形される。 In the second invention, at least the dust collecting electrode (40) is made of a conductive resin. The dust collecting electrode (40) made of a conductive resin is molded using a technique such as injection molding.
本発明の集塵電極(40)では、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面が、その隅部と向かい合う突起部(52)の角部に向かって膨出している。このため、通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)の間に形成される空間では、通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)との距離のバラツキが小さくなり、その空間に形成される電界の強度のバラツキも小さくなる。従って、本発明によれば、通気孔(46)の壁面の各部分における単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量の相違を小さくすることができる。その結果、通気孔(46)の壁面の全体を有効に利用して塵埃を捕集することができ、集塵装置の能力を充分に発揮させることが可能となる。 In the dust collection electrode (40) of the present invention, the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) bulges toward the corner of the projection (52) facing the corner. For this reason, in the space formed between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the projecting portion (52), the variation in the distance between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the projecting portion (52) is reduced. The variation in the strength of the electric field formed is also reduced. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the difference in the amount of dust attached per unit area in each portion of the wall surface of the vent hole (46). As a result, dust can be collected by effectively using the entire wall surface of the vent hole (46), and the capability of the dust collecting device can be fully exhibited.
本発明において、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面の断面形状は、その隅部と対向する突起部(52)の角部を曲率中心とする円弧となっている。このため、隅部の壁面と突起部(52)との距離が、通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)の間の空間の全域に亘って一定となる。従って、本発明によれば、通気孔(46)の壁面と突起部(52)の間の空間の全域に亘って電界の強度を平均化することができ、通気孔(46)の壁面の全体に亘って単位面積当たりに付着する塵埃の量を平均化できる。 In the present invention , the cross-sectional shape of the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) is an arc whose center of curvature is the corner of the projection (52) facing the corner. For this reason, the distance between the wall surface of the corner and the protrusion (52) is constant over the entire space between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion (52). Therefore, according to the present invention , the intensity of the electric field can be averaged over the entire space between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the protrusion (52), and the entire wall surface of the vent hole (46). It is possible to average the amount of dust adhering per unit area.
上記第2の発明では、通気孔(46)が形成された集塵電極(40)の材質が導電性樹脂となっている。この発明の集塵電極(40)は、通気孔(46)の隅部の壁面が膨出したやや複雑な形状となっている。一方、導電性樹脂からなる集塵電極(40)は、射出成形等の手法を用いて容易に大量生産できる。従って、この発明によれば、やや複雑な形状の集塵電極(40)を、容易に低コストで大量に製造することが可能となる。 In the said 2nd invention, the material of the dust collection electrode (40) in which the vent hole (46) was formed is a conductive resin. The dust collecting electrode (40) of the present invention has a slightly complicated shape in which the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) bulges. On the other hand, the dust collection electrode (40) made of a conductive resin can be easily mass-produced using a technique such as injection molding. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily manufacture a large amount of dust collecting electrodes (40) having a slightly complicated shape at a low cost.

In the dust collecting electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50), the vertical partition members (44, 54) extend in the vertical direction of the casing (20), and the respective horizontal partition members (45, 55) are the casing (20). It is arrange | positioned with the attitude | position extended in the width direction. The base member (41, 51) has a number of ventilation holes (46, 56) surrounded by the frame (43, 53), the vertical partition member (44, 54), and the horizontal partition member (45, 55). Is formed. These ventilation holes (46, 56) constitute a ventilation hole through which air as a gas to be treated flows. That is, the base member (41, 51) is formed in a rectangular square lattice structure by the vertical partition members (44, 54) and the horizontal partition members (45, 55).
集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)の縦仕切部材(44,54)は、集塵電極(40)の基台部材(41)と高圧電極(50)の基台部材(51)とを固定した組み立て状態において、同一平面上に位置するように形成されている。また、集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)の横仕切部材(45,55)は、集塵電極(40)の基台部材(41)と高圧電極(50)の基台部材(51)とを固定した組み立て状態において、図5の上下方向に、千鳥状に位置するように形成されている。つまり、集塵電極(40)の横仕切部材(45)は、高圧電極(50)の通風孔(56)の中央部に位置し、高圧電極(50)の横仕切部材(55)は、集塵電極(40)の通風孔(46)の中央部に位置している。 The vertical partition members (44, 54) of the dust collection electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50) are composed of a base member (41) of the dust collection electrode (40) and a base member (51) of the high voltage electrode (50). Are assembled so as to be positioned on the same plane. Further, the horizontal partition members (45, 55) of the dust collection electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50) are divided into the base member (41) of the dust collection electrode (40) and the base member (51 of the high voltage electrode (50)). ) Are fixed so as to be positioned in a staggered manner in the vertical direction of FIG. That is, the horizontal partition member (45) of the dust collection electrode (40) is located at the center of the ventilation hole (56) of the high voltage electrode (50), and the horizontal partition member (55) of the high voltage electrode (50) is It is located in the center of the ventilation hole (46) of the dust electrode (40).
突起部材(42,52)は、横仕切部材(45,55)に一体形成されて該横仕切部材(45,55)より突出している。該突起部材(42,52)は、横仕切部材(45,55)と同一厚さの平板状の突出片に形成され、相対する電極(50,40)の通風孔(56,46)の内部に延びている。そして、突起部材(42,52)の横方向の隙間には、相対する電極(50,40)の縦仕切部材(54,44)が位置するように突起部材(42,52)が形成されている。 The protruding members (42, 52) are integrally formed with the horizontal partition members (45, 55) and protrude from the horizontal partition members (45, 55). The projecting member (42, 52) is formed in a flat plate-like projecting piece having the same thickness as the horizontal partition member (45, 55), and is located inside the vent hole (56, 46) of the opposing electrode (50, 40). It extends to. The projecting members (42, 52) are formed in the lateral gaps of the projecting members (42, 52) so that the vertical partition members (54, 44) of the opposing electrodes (50, 40) are positioned. Yes.
図6に示すように、 高圧電極(50)の突起部材(52)は、その中心軸が集塵電極(40)の通風孔(46)の中心軸と一致する姿勢で設置されている。この突起部材(52)は、その中心軸と直交する断面の形状が扁平な長方形状となっている。突起部材(52)の角部は、2つの平面が直交する稜線(即ち、面取りが施されていない形状)となっている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the projecting member (52) of the high-voltage electrode (50) is installed in such a posture that its central axis coincides with the central axis of the ventilation hole (46) of the dust collecting electrode (40). The protruding member (52) has a rectangular shape with a flat cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the central axis. The corner of the protruding member (52) is a ridge line (that is, a shape that is not chamfered) where two planes are orthogonal.
集塵電極(40)の枠体(43)では、通風孔(46)の断面形状が、扁平な四角形状となっている。つまり、通風孔(46)は、その中心軸と直交する断面の形状が、突起部材(52)の断面形状と同数の頂点を有する凸多角形(即ち、4つの頂点を有する四角形)となっている。通風孔(46)の内壁面では、突起部材(52)の側面の投影面となる部分が投影部(60)を構成し、突起部材(52)の側面の投影面とならない部分(図6においてハッチングを付した部分)が非投影部(61)を構成している。 In the frame (43) of the dust collecting electrode (40), the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole (46) is a flat quadrangular shape. That is, the vent hole (46) is a convex polygon having a cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the central axis thereof having the same number of vertices as the cross-sectional shape of the protruding member (52) (that is, a quadrilateral having four vertices). Yes. On the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46), the portion that becomes the projection surface on the side surface of the projection member (52) constitutes the projection portion (60), and the portion that does not become the projection surface on the side surface of the projection member (52) (in FIG. The hatched part) constitutes the non-projection part (61).
突起部材(52)の上下側面及び左右側面とそれぞれに対面する通風孔(46)の内壁面の投影部(60)との距離は、何れも同じ値dとなっている(図6を参照)。この突起部材(52)の側面と投影部(60)との間隔dは、1.0mm以上2.0mm以下に設定するのが望ましく、1.2mmに設定するのが特に好ましい。 The distance between the upper and lower side surfaces and the left and right side surfaces of the projecting member (52) and the projection portion (60) of the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) facing each other has the same value d (see FIG. 6). . The distance d between the side surface of the projecting member (52) and the projection part (60) is preferably set to 1.0 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less, particularly preferably set to 1.2 mm.
図7にも示すように、通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面において、投影部(60)の形状は直線となる一方、非投影部(61)の形状は1/4円弧(中心角が90°の円弧)となっている。また、この断面において、1/4円弧に形成された非投影部(61)は、その曲率中心Pが非投影部(61)に対向する突起部材(52)の角部と一致すると共に、その曲率半径rが突起部材(52)の側面と投影部(60)との間隔dと等しくなっている。つまり、通風孔(46)の内壁面では、非投影部(61)の全体が内側へ湾曲した円弧面(62)となっている。 As shown in FIG. 7, in the cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the vent hole (46), the shape of the projection part (60) is a straight line, while the shape of the non-projection part (61) is a 1/4 arc (center). An arc having a 90 ° angle). Further, in this cross section, the non-projection part (61) formed in the ¼ arc has a center of curvature P that coincides with the corner of the projecting member (52) facing the non-projection part (61), and The radius of curvature r is equal to the distance d between the side surface of the protruding member (52) and the projection part (60). That is, on the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46), the entire non-projection portion (61) is an arc surface (62) curved inward.
また、通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面において、円弧部分となった非投影部(61)の両端における接線は、非投影部(61)に隣接する直線部分である投影部(60)と重なっている。つまり、通風孔(46)の内壁面では、投影部(60)と非投影部(61)が滑らかに連続している。 In addition, in the cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the ventilation hole (46), the tangent at both ends of the non-projection part (61) that is an arc part is a projection part (60 that is a straight line part adjacent to the non-projection part (61). ). That is, the projection part (60) and the non-projection part (61) are smoothly continuous on the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46).
このように、集塵電極(40)の基台部材(41)において、通風孔(46)の内壁面の4つの隅部は、それぞれが内側に湾曲した円弧面(62)となっている。つまり、通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面において、通風孔(46)の隅部の壁面は、通風孔(46)の内壁面が突起部材(52)の側面と平行な平面のみで構成される場合の形状(図6,図7に二点鎖線で示す形状)に比べて、内側へ膨出している。このため、本実施形態の集塵部(30)では、通風孔(46)の隅部の壁面と高圧電極(50)の突起部材(52)との距離が、従来に比べて短くなっている。 Thus, in the base member (41) of the dust collecting electrode (40), the four corners of the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) are arcuate surfaces (62) that are curved inward. That is, in the cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the vent hole (46), the wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) is only a plane in which the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46) is parallel to the side surface of the projection member (52). Compared to the shape of the configuration (the shape indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIGS. 6 and 7), it bulges inward. For this reason, in the dust collection part (30) of this embodiment, the distance of the wall surface of the corner part of a ventilation hole (46) and the projection member (52) of a high voltage electrode (50) is shorter than before. .
その点について、図7を参照しながら詳しく説明する。従来のように通風孔(46)の内壁面が突起部材(52)の側面と平行な平面のみで構成される場合において、同図に二点鎖線で示す通風孔(46)の隅部の内壁面と突起部材(52)の角部との距離は、最大でd'となる。一方、本実施形態の集塵電極(40)では、通風孔(46)の隅部の内壁面を含む非投影部(61)が円弧面(62)となっており、非投影部(61)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離は、非投影部(61)の全体に亘ってdcとなる。非投影部(61)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離dcは、距離d'よりも短くなっている(dc<d')。なお、非投影部(61)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離dcは、突起部材(52)の側面と投影部(60)との間隔dと等しく(dc=d)、円弧面(62)である非投影部(61)の曲率半径rとも等しい(dc=r)。 This point will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the case where the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46) is configured only by a plane parallel to the side surface of the projecting member (52) as in the prior art, the inside of the corner portion of the vent hole (46) indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The maximum distance between the wall surface and the corner of the protruding member (52) is d ′. On the other hand, in the dust collection electrode (40) of this embodiment, the non-projection part (61) including the inner wall surface at the corner of the ventilation hole (46) is an arc surface (62), and the non-projection part (61) the distance between the corner portion of the projection member (52) is a d c over the entire non-projection unit (61). The distance d c of the non-projecting portion (61) and the corner portion of the projection member (52), the distance d 'is shorter than (d c <d'). The distance d c between the non-projection part (61) and the corner of the projection member (52) is equal to the distance d between the side surface of the projection member (52) and the projection part (60) (d c = d), unprojected portion is an arc surface (62) is also equal to the radius of curvature r of (61) (d c = r).
−運転動作−
次に、空気清浄機(10)の空気清浄動作について説明する。
-Driving action-
Next, the air cleaning operation of the air cleaner (10) will be described.
図1及び図2に示すように、送風機(14)を駆動すると、空気清浄機(10)では、被処理気体である室内空気がケーシング(20)の空気通路(23)に吸引され、該空気通路(23)を流れる。また、空気清浄機(10)では、荷電部(12)のイオン化線と対向電極と間に直流電圧が印加され、集塵部(30)の集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)との間に直流電圧が印加される。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the blower (14) is driven, the air cleaner (10) sucks indoor air, which is a gas to be treated, into the air passage (23) of the casing (20). Flow through passage (23). In the air cleaner (10), a DC voltage is applied between the ionization line of the charging part (12) and the counter electrode, and the dust collecting electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50) of the dust collecting part (30) A DC voltage is applied during
ケーシング(20)の空気通路(23)に吸引された室内空気は、先ずプレフィルタ(11)を通過する。プレフィルタ(11)は、室内空気に含まれる比較的大きな塵埃を捕集する。 The room air sucked into the air passage (23) of the casing (20) first passes through the prefilter (11). The prefilter (11) collects relatively large dust contained in the room air.
プレフィルタ(11)を通過した室内空気は、荷電部(12)に流れる。この荷電部(12)では、プレフィルタ(11)を通過した比較的小さな塵埃が正極に帯電し、この帯電した塵埃が下流側に流れることになる。 The room air that has passed through the prefilter (11) flows to the charging section (12). In the charging unit (12), relatively small dust that has passed through the prefilter (11) is charged to the positive electrode, and the charged dust flows downstream.
続いて、帯電した塵埃は、室内空気と共に集塵部(30)に流れ込み、集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)における基台部材(41,51)の通風孔(46,56)を通過する。つまり、集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)の基台部材(41,51)における枠体(43,53)と縦仕切部材(44,54)と横仕切部材(45,55)とで形成される通風孔(46,56)を室内空気が流れ、集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)の突起部材(42,52)の周囲を室内空気が流れる。 Subsequently, the charged dust flows into the dust collecting part (30) together with the room air, and passes through the ventilation holes (46, 56) of the base member (41, 51) in the dust collecting electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50). pass. That is, the frame body (43, 53), the vertical partition member (44, 54) and the horizontal partition member (45, 55) in the base member (41, 51) of the dust collection electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50) The room air flows through the ventilation holes (46, 56) formed in the above, and the room air flows around the protrusions (42, 52) of the dust collection electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50).
その際、集塵電極(40)は、負極に設定されている。そのため、正極に帯電した塵埃は、電気的な引力によって集塵電極(40)に引き寄せられる。そして、塵埃は、集塵電極(40)の通風孔(46)の内壁面や突起部材(42)の表面に付着する。 In that case, the dust collection electrode (40) is set to the negative electrode. Therefore, the dust charged on the positive electrode is attracted to the dust collection electrode (40) by electrical attraction. The dust adheres to the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) of the dust collecting electrode (40) and the surface of the protruding member (42).
その後、塵埃が除去された室内空気は、触媒フィルタ(13)を流れ、空気中の有害物質や臭気物質が分解除去され、清浄空気となる。この清浄空気は、送風機(14)を通り、空気通路(23)から室内に吹き出される。空気清浄機(10)は、このような動作を行うことで、室内空気を清浄化する。 Thereafter, the room air from which the dust has been removed flows through the catalyst filter (13), and harmful substances and odorous substances in the air are decomposed and removed to become clean air. This clean air passes through the blower (14) and is blown into the room from the air passage (23). The air cleaner (10) cleans room air by performing such an operation.
ここで、本実施形態の集塵電極(40)では、通風孔(46)の内壁面の非投影部(61)が全体に亘って円弧面(62)となっている。そして、この非投影部(61)と高圧電極(50)の突起部材(52)の角部との距離dcは、非投影部(61)の全体に亘って、投影部(60)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離dと等しくなっている。一方、通風孔(46)の内壁面と突起部材(52)の間の空間に形成される電界の強度は、両者間の距離に相関する。このため、通風孔(46)の内壁面と突起部材(52)の間の空間に形成される電界の強度は、その空間の全体に亘って概ね一様となる。その結果、通風孔(46)の内壁面の単位面積当たりに付着する塵埃の量は、投影部(60)における値と非投影部(61)における値とが概ね等しくなる。 Here, in the dust collection electrode (40) of this embodiment, the non-projection part (61) of the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) is a circular arc surface (62) over the whole. Then, the distance d c between the corner portion of the projection member (52) of the non-projecting portion (61) and the high-voltage electrode (50), throughout the non-projection unit (61), the projection portion (60) protruding It is equal to distance d with the corner | angular part of a member (52). On the other hand, the strength of the electric field formed in the space between the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the protruding member (52) correlates with the distance between the two. For this reason, the strength of the electric field formed in the space between the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the protruding member (52) is substantially uniform over the entire space. As a result, the amount of dust attached per unit area of the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) is approximately equal to the value in the projection unit (60) and the value in the non-projection unit (61).
−実施形態1の効果−
本実施形態の集塵電極(40)では、通風孔(46)の非投影部(61)の壁面が、その非投影部(61)と向かい合う突起部(42)の角部に向かって膨出している。このため、通風孔(46)の壁面と突起部(42)の間に形成される空間では、通風孔(46)の壁面と突起部(42)との距離のバラツキが小さくなり、その空間に形成される電界の強度のバラツキも小さくなる。従って、本実施形態によれば、通風孔(46)の内壁面の各部分における単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量の相違を小さくすることができる。
-Effect of Embodiment 1-
In the dust collection electrode (40) of this embodiment, the wall surface of the non-projection part (61) of the ventilation hole (46) bulges toward the corner of the projection part (42) facing the non-projection part (61). ing. For this reason, in the space formed between the wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the projection (42), the variation in the distance between the wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the projection (42) becomes small, and the space The variation in the strength of the electric field formed is also reduced. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the difference in the amount of dust attached per unit area in each portion of the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46).
ここで、通風孔(46)の奥行き(図7の紙面に垂直な方向の長さ)をDとする。非投影部(61)の全体が円弧面となる本実施形態の集塵電極(40)において、通風孔(46)の内壁面の1つの非投影部(61)の面積Aは、A=2πr/4×D=(πr×D)/2となる。また、通風孔(46)の内壁面が突起部材(52)の側面と平行な平面のみで構成される従来の集塵電極では、通風孔(46)の隅部が図7に二点鎖線で示す形状となるため、非投影部(61)に相当する部分の面積A'は、A'=2d×Dとなる。 Here, D is the depth of the ventilation hole (46) (the length in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 7). In the dust collection electrode (40) of the present embodiment in which the entire non-projection part (61) is an arc surface, the area A of one non-projection part (61) on the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) is A = 2πr. / 4 × D = (πr × D) / 2. Further, in the conventional dust collecting electrode in which the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) is composed only of a plane parallel to the side surface of the protruding member (52), the corner of the ventilation hole (46) is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Therefore, the area A ′ of the portion corresponding to the non-projection part (61) is A ′ = 2d × D.
一方、本実施形態の集塵電極(40)において、通風孔(46)の内壁面の単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量Gは、投影部(60)と非投影部(61)とで同じ値となる。それに対し、従来の集塵電極において、非投影部(61)に相当する部分における単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量G'は、それ以外の部分における単位面積当たりの塵埃の付着量Gの60%程度となる。 On the other hand, in the dust collection electrode (40) of the present embodiment, the amount of dust adhesion G per unit area of the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46) is the same value in the projection part (60) and the non-projection part (61). It becomes. On the other hand, in the conventional dust collecting electrode, the dust adhesion amount G ′ per unit area in the portion corresponding to the non-projection part (61) is 60% of the dust adhesion amount G per unit area in the other portions. It will be about.
このため、通風孔(46)の1つの隅部に付着する塵埃の量は、本実施形態の集塵電極(40)ではM=G×A=G(πr×D)/2≒1.57G×r×Dとなるのに対し、従来の集塵電極ではM'=G'×A'=0.6G×2d×D=1.2G×d×Dとなる。そして、r=dであるため、M>M'となる。従って、本実施形態によれば、通風孔(46)の内壁面の全体を有効に利用して塵埃を捕集することが可能となり、集塵部(30)が付着し得る塵埃の量を増大させることができる。 Therefore, the amount of dust adhering to one corner of the ventilation hole (46) is M = G × A = G (πr × D) /2≈1.57G in the dust collection electrode (40) of the present embodiment. In contrast to × r × D, in the conventional dust collecting electrode, M ′ = G ′ × A ′ = 0.6 G × 2d × D = 1.2 G × d × D. Since r = d, M> M ′. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it becomes possible to collect dust by effectively using the entire inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46), and the amount of dust that can be attached to the dust collecting part (30) is increased. Can be made.
特に、本実施形態の集塵電極(40)において、通風孔(46)の非投影部(61)の壁面は、その非投影部(61)と対向する突起部(42)の角部を曲率中心とする円弧面(62)となっている。このため、非投影部(61)の壁面と突起部(42)との距離は、通風孔(46)の壁面と突起部(42)の間の空間の全域に亘って一定となる。従って、本実施形態によれば、通風孔(46)の内壁面と突起部(42)の間の空間の全域に亘って電界の強度を均一化することができ、通風孔(46)の壁面の全体に亘って単位面積当たりに付着する塵埃の量を平均化できる。 In particular, in the dust collection electrode (40) of the present embodiment, the wall surface of the non-projection part (61) of the ventilation hole (46) has a curvature at the corner of the projection part (42) facing the non-projection part (61). The arc surface (62) is the center. For this reason, the distance between the wall surface of the non-projection part (61) and the projection part (42) is constant over the entire space between the wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the projection part (42). Therefore, according to this embodiment, the strength of the electric field can be made uniform over the entire space between the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the protrusion (42), and the wall surface of the ventilation hole (46). The amount of dust adhering per unit area can be averaged over the entire area.
また、本実施形態では、集塵電極(40)の材質が導電性樹脂となっている。この集塵電極(40)は、通風孔(46)の隅部の壁面が膨出したやや複雑な形状となっている。一方、導電性樹脂からなる集塵電極(40)は、射出成形等の手法を用いて容易に大量生産できる。従って、本実施形態によれば、やや複雑な形状の集塵電極(40)を、容易に低コストで大量に製造することが可能となる。 In the present embodiment, the material of the dust collection electrode (40) is a conductive resin. The dust collecting electrode (40) has a slightly complicated shape in which the wall surface at the corner of the ventilation hole (46) bulges. On the other hand, the dust collection electrode (40) made of a conductive resin can be easily mass-produced using a technique such as injection molding. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily manufacture a large amount of dust collecting electrodes (40) having a slightly complicated shape at a low cost.

In the dust collection electrode (40) of the present reference technology, the non-projection part (61) on the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) may be constituted by four or more planes. Here, the case where the non-projection part (61) of the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) is constituted by four planes will be described with reference to FIG.
本変形例において、通風孔(46)の内壁面の非投影部(61)は、非投影部(61)の両隣の投影部(60)から延びる一対の平坦面(64)と、各平坦面(64)から斜め方向へ延びる一対の傾斜面(65)とで構成されている。つまり、通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面において、非投影部(61)の形状は、3箇所で折れ曲がった折れ線状となっている。また、非投影部(61)を形成する傾斜面(65)は、隣接する平坦面(64)となす角度が45°未満となっている。 In this modification, the non-projection part (61) on the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46) includes a pair of flat surfaces (64) extending from the projection parts (60) adjacent to the non-projection part (61), and each flat surface. (64) and a pair of inclined surfaces (65) extending diagonally. That is, in the cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the ventilation hole (46), the shape of the non-projection part (61) is a polygonal line bent at three locations. Further, the inclined surface (65) forming the non-projection part (61) has an angle of less than 45 ° with the adjacent flat surface (64).

《参考技術4》
参考技術4について説明する。本参考技術は、上記実施形態1において、高圧電極(50)及び集塵電極(40)の形状を変更したものである。具体的に、本参考技術の集塵部(30)では、高圧電極(50)における突起部材(52)の角部の形状と、集塵電極(40)における通風孔(46)の内壁面の形状とが、上記実施形態1と相違している。ここでは、本参考技術の高圧電極(50)及び集塵電極(40)について、上記実施形態1と相違する点を説明する。
<< Reference Technique 4 >>
Reference technique 4 will be described. This reference technique is obtained by changing the shapes of the high-voltage electrode (50) and the dust collecting electrode (40) in the first embodiment. Specifically, in the dust collection part (30) of this reference technology , the shape of the corner of the protruding member (52) in the high-voltage electrode (50) and the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) in the dust collection electrode (40) The shape is different from that of the first embodiment. Here, the difference between the high voltage electrode (50) and the dust collecting electrode (40) of the present reference technique from the first embodiment will be described.
図12に示すように、本参考技術の高圧電極(50)では、突起部材(52)の角部に面取りが施されている。この突起部材(52)の4つの角部は、それぞれの外側面が円弧面(66)となっている。具体的に、突起部材(52)の軸方向と直交する断面(即ち、通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面)において、突起部材(52)の角部の形状は、1/4円弧となっている。 As shown in FIG. 12, in the high voltage electrode (50) of the present reference technology , the corners of the protruding member (52) are chamfered. Each of the four corners of the projecting member (52) has an arcuate surface (66) on the outer surface. Specifically, in the cross section orthogonal to the axial direction of the protrusion member (52) (that is, the cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the vent hole (46)), the shape of the corner of the protrusion member (52) is 1/4 arc It has become.
本参考技術の集塵電極(40)において、通風孔(46)の隅部の内壁面は、円弧面となっている。通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面において、通風孔(46)の隅部の内壁面の形状は、1/4円弧と、その両端から接線方向へ延びる直線とで構成されている。また、この断面において、通風孔(46)の隅部のうち1/4円弧に形成された部分の曲率中心Pは、この隅部に対向する突起部材(52)の角部の曲率中心Pと一致している。更に、通風孔(46)の隅部の円弧面(62)の曲率半径roと、突起部材(52)の角部の円弧面(66)の曲率半径riとの差は、通風孔(46)の内壁面のうち平坦な部分と突起部材(52)の側面のうち平坦な部分との間隔dと等しくなっている(ro−ri=d)。 In the dust collecting electrode (40) of the present reference technology , the inner wall surface at the corner of the ventilation hole (46) is an arc surface. In the cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the vent hole (46), the shape of the inner wall surface at the corner of the vent hole (46) is composed of a quarter arc and a straight line extending tangentially from both ends thereof. Further, in this cross section, the center of curvature P of the corner portion of the vent hole (46) formed in the ¼ arc is the curvature center P of the corner portion of the projecting member (52) facing this corner portion. Match. Furthermore, the curvature radius r o of the circular arc surface of the corner portion of the vent hole (46) (62), the difference between the radius of curvature r i of the arc surface of the corner portion of the projection member (52) (66), ventilation holes ( a flat portion of the inner wall surface 46) is equal to the distance d between the flat portion of the side surface of the projecting member (52) (r o -r i = d).
本参考技術では、高圧電極(50)の突起部材(52)の角部に面取りが施されているため、突起部材(52)の角部への電界の集中が緩和される。このため、通風孔(46)の壁面と突起部材(52)の側面との間隔を平均化することによってだけでなく、突起部材(52)の角部への電界の集中を緩和することによっても、通風孔(46)の壁面と突起部材(52)の間に形成される電界の強度を均一化することができる。従って、本参考技術によれば、通風孔(46)の壁面と突起部材(52)の間に形成される電界の強度を、より一層均一化することができる。 In the present reference technique , the chamfering is performed on the corner of the protruding member (52) of the high-voltage electrode (50), so that the concentration of the electric field on the corner of the protruding member (52) is reduced. For this reason, not only by averaging the distance between the wall surface of the vent hole (46) and the side surface of the projection member (52), but also by reducing the concentration of the electric field on the corner of the projection member (52). The strength of the electric field formed between the wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the protruding member (52) can be made uniform. Therefore, according to the present reference technique , the strength of the electric field formed between the wall surface of the ventilation hole (46) and the protruding member (52) can be made more uniform.
−参考技術4の変形例−
本参考技術の集塵電極(40)では、図13に示すように、突起部材(52)の角部の外側面が1つの傾斜面(67)で構成されていてもよい。この傾斜面(67)は、突起部材(52)の側面のうち通風孔(46)の内壁面と平行な部分に対して45°の角度をなしている。
-Modification of Reference Technique 4-
In the dust collection electrode (40) of the present reference technology , as shown in FIG. 13, the outer surface of the corner of the protruding member (52) may be configured by one inclined surface (67). The inclined surface (67) forms an angle of 45 ° with respect to a portion of the side surface of the projecting member (52) parallel to the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46).

In the air cleaner (10) of the first embodiment , the dust collector (30) may be configured as described below.
−第1変形例−
上記実施形態1の集塵部(30)において、集塵電極(40)の通風孔(46)の断面形状と、高圧電極(50)の突起部材(52)の断面形状とは、四角形以外の多角形(例えば、三角形や五角形など)であってもよい。ここでは、上記実施形態1の集塵部(30)において、通風孔(46)及び突起部材(52)の断面形状を正六角形状とした場合について説明する。
-First modification-
In the dust collecting part (30) of the first embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole (46) of the dust collecting electrode (40) and the cross-sectional shape of the protruding member (52) of the high-voltage electrode (50) are other than a quadrangle. It may be a polygon (for example, a triangle or a pentagon). Here, the case where the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole (46) and the protruding member (52) is a regular hexagonal shape in the dust collecting part (30) of the first embodiment will be described.
図14に示すように、本変形例の集塵電極(40)は、全体形状がいわゆるハニカム状となっている。そして、この集塵電極(40)に形成された多数の通風孔(46)は、それぞれの断面が正六角形状となっている。また、本変形例の高圧電極(50)では、突起部材(52)の断面形状が正六角形状となっている。この突起部材(52)は、各側面が通風孔(46)の内壁面と平行になる姿勢で、通風孔(46)と同軸上に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 14, the dust collection electrode (40) of the present modification has a so-called honeycomb shape as a whole. The numerous ventilation holes (46) formed in the dust collection electrode (40) have a regular hexagonal cross section. Moreover, in the high voltage electrode (50) of this modification, the cross-sectional shape of the protruding member (52) is a regular hexagon. The projecting member (52) is arranged coaxially with the vent hole (46) so that each side surface is parallel to the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46).
通風孔(46)の内壁面では、突起部材(52)の側面の投影面となる部分が投影部(60)を構成し、突起部材(52)の側面の投影面とならない部分(図14においてハッチングを付した部分)が非投影部(61)を構成している。通風孔(46)の中心軸に直交する断面において、投影部(60)の形状は直線となる一方、非投影部(61)の形状は中心角が60°の円弧となっている。また、この断面において、円弧となった非投影部(61)は、その曲率中心Pが非投影部(61)に対面する突起部材(52)の角部と一致すると共に、その曲率半径rが突起部材(52)の側面と投影部(60)との間隔dと等しくなっている。つまり、通風孔(46)の内壁面では、非投影部(61)の全体が内側へ湾曲した円弧面(62)となっている。 On the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46), the portion that becomes the projection surface on the side surface of the projection member (52) constitutes the projection portion (60), and the portion that does not become the projection surface on the side surface of the projection member (52) (in FIG. The hatched part) constitutes the non-projection part (61). In the cross section perpendicular to the central axis of the ventilation hole (46), the shape of the projection part (60) is a straight line, while the shape of the non-projection part (61) is an arc having a central angle of 60 °. In addition, in this cross section, the non-projection part (61) that is an arc has a center of curvature P that coincides with a corner of the protruding member (52) facing the non-projection part (61), and a radius of curvature r thereof. It is equal to the distance d between the side surface of the projecting member (52) and the projection part (60). That is, on the inner wall surface of the ventilation hole (46), the entire non-projection portion (61) is an arc surface (62) curved inward.
従来のように通風孔(46)の内壁面が突起部材(52)の側面と平行な平面のみで構成される場合において、図14に二点鎖線で示す通風孔(46)の隅部の内壁面と突起部材(52)の角部との距離は、最大でd'となる。一方、本変形例の集塵電極(40)では、通風孔(46)の隅部の内壁面を含む非投影部(61)が円弧面(62)となっており、非投影部(61)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離は、非投影部(61)の全体に亘ってdcとなる。そして、非投影部(61)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離dcは、距離d'よりも短くなっている(dc<d')。なお、非投影部(61)と突起部材(52)の角部との距離dcは、円弧面(62)である非投影部(61)の曲率半径rと等しい(dc=r)。 In the case where the inner wall surface of the vent hole (46) is configured only by a plane parallel to the side surface of the projecting member (52) as in the prior art, the inside of the corner of the vent hole (46) shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The maximum distance between the wall surface and the corner of the protruding member (52) is d ′. On the other hand, in the dust collection electrode (40) of this modification, the non-projection part (61) including the inner wall surface at the corner of the ventilation hole (46) is an arc surface (62), and the non-projection part (61) the distance between the corner portion of the projection member (52) is a d c over the entire non-projection unit (61). The distance d c of the non-projecting portion (61) and the corner portion of the projection member (52), the distance d 'is shorter than (d c <d'). The distance d c of the non-projecting portion (61) and the corner portion of the projection member (52) is equal to the radius of curvature r of the non-projecting portion is arcuate surface (62) (61) (d c = r).
−第2変形例−
上記実施形態1の集塵部(30)は、集塵電極(40)と高圧電極(50)を互いに嵌り込む構造となっていたが、これに代えて、高圧電極(50)のみが集塵電極(40)に嵌り込む構造としてもよい。ここでは、本変形例を上記実施形態1の集塵電極(40)及び高圧電極(50)に適用したものについて、図15,図16を参照しながら説明する。
-Second modification-
The dust collecting part (30) of the first embodiment has a structure in which the dust collecting electrode (40) and the high voltage electrode (50) are fitted to each other. Instead, only the high voltage electrode (50) is dust collecting. It is good also as a structure fitted in an electrode (40). Here, what applied this modification to the dust collection electrode (40) and high voltage electrode (50) of the said Embodiment 1 is demonstrated, referring FIG. 15, FIG.
本変形例の集塵電極(40)は、全体として直方体状ないし厚板状に形成された1つの基台部材(41)を備えている。基台部材(41)は、枠体(43)と複数の縦仕切部材(44)及び複数の横仕切部材(45)とを備えている。つまり、本変形例の集塵電極(40)は、上記実施形態1の多数の突起部材(42)を備えておらず、単なる格子状に形成されている。 The dust collecting electrode (40) of the present modification includes one base member (41) formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a thick plate shape as a whole. The base member (41) includes a frame (43), a plurality of vertical partition members (44), and a plurality of horizontal partition members (45). That is, the dust collection electrode (40) of this modification is not provided with the large number of projecting members (42) of the first embodiment, and is formed in a simple lattice shape.
一方、本変形例の高圧電極(50)は、上記実施形態1と同様に、全体として矩形板状に形成された1つの基台部材(51)と、基台部材(51)に突設された多数の突起部材(52)とを備えている。この高圧電極(50)の基台部材(51)は、空気の流れ方向の厚さが実施形態1のものに比べて薄くなっている。具体的に、基台部材(51)は、枠体(53)と複数の縦仕切部材(54)及び複数の横仕切部材(55)とを備えているものの、空気の流れ方向の厚さが薄く形成されている。つまり、本変形例の集塵電極(40)には突起部材が設けられていないため、高圧電極(50)の枠体(53)、縦仕切部材(54)及び横仕切部材(55)は、多数の突起部材(52)を保持し得る程度の厚さに形成されている。 On the other hand, the high-voltage electrode (50) of the present modified example projects from one base member (51) formed as a rectangular plate as a whole and the base member (51), as in the first embodiment. And a large number of protruding members (52). The base member (51) of the high-voltage electrode (50) has a smaller thickness in the air flow direction than that of the first embodiment. Specifically, although the base member (51) includes a frame (53), a plurality of vertical partition members (54), and a plurality of horizontal partition members (55), the thickness in the air flow direction is Thinly formed.
