Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an anion generating method and apparatus capable of stably providing a large amount of anions which are particularly useful for human health.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, charged fine particles having a size of about 1 μm to about a molecule are suspended in the air. Among them, particles having a size of about 10 to 100 molecules are called small ions, and particularly negatively charged particles are called anions. This anion has the effect of stabilizing the human mind and enhancing the function of the respiratory organs.

The floating of anions in the air is said to be an ionization phenomenon of air (Leonard effect) in which, when water droplets are split in the air, the water droplets are charged to the anode and the surrounding air is charged to the cathode. It is said to be caused by.

In the natural world, such an ionization phenomenon of air is always generated in a place where a large number of water droplets collide with each other and divide in a torrent region such as a waterfall or an upstream of a river. Anions are constantly being generated inside. Therefore, religious religious monks and believers practice hitting a waterfall as one of their training, but countless negative ions are generated around the waterfall that falls and breaks into rocks and splashes. Therefore, it is reasonable that it is possible to obtain a mentally and physically satisfying state by absorbing this anion.

Further, the above-mentioned air ionization phenomenon changes depending on weather conditions, and many cations are generated conversely on the occasion of discontinuity lines, cold fronts, passage of low pressure and the like. Under such circumstances, it is said that the number of anions in the human body decreases and the number of cations increases, which increases the incidence of neuralgia, asthma, stroke and the like.

This is because the human body is composed of innumerable cells, and each cell is wrapped with a cell membrane, and the cells absorb nutrients and excrete waste products through the membrane. is there. These cells are charged with cations on the outside and anions on the inside, and when the anions decrease and the cations increase, it becomes difficult to absorb nutrients and excrete waste products, which impairs metabolism. As a result, physiological functions decline and the disease develops.

[0007]

As described above, when cells are in a poor condition and develop into a disease, it is sufficient to give anions to the cells. Conventionally, the supplementation of anions is natural. Since there is no choice but to rely on anions floating in the air, it is difficult to absorb enough anions into cells to prevent diseases.

[0008] With the above viewpoint and the progress of researches in the fields of electronic engineering and microbes, electrons that can freely replenish anions into the air regardless of the state of the anions floating in the natural air. Anion replenishing device using rays is being developed, but there is a problem that ozone is generated in large amounts together with anions.

Further, in the fields of physics and chemistry, a catalyst type ion generator using a catalyst such as metal or activated carbon as a cartridge has been studied, but grasping the life of the catalyst is a problem. Furthermore, for large-scale industrial use, a device has been proposed in which a large amount of water is sprayed on a partition wall or a rotating disk at high pressure to generate fine water droplets, but a device such as a water droplet separator becomes large, There is a problem that it requires a lot of water and electric power.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has been found as a result of a study for obtaining a large amount of anions with a small amount of water at a low cost in a compact device.

Furthermore, at a position of 500 mm, a 500 mm square and a plate thickness of 0.2
Honeycomb filters 3 and 3 are provided by stacking 10 stainless steel plates processed into a honeycomb shape of mm, and a water drop outlet 4 is provided on the casing bottom plate 1b at a position 50 mm before and after the honeycomb filters 3 and 3. . The distance from the front honeycomb filter 3 to the opening outlet 5 is 200 mm.

This apparatus is provided with a humidity of 58 to 61% and a temperature of 31 to 31.
It is placed in a room at 32 ° C., the base end inlet of the nozzle 2 is connected to an alkaline ionized water tank and an oilless air compressor, and alkaline ionized water of 83 ml / min at a water pressure of 2 kg / cm ² and air pressure of 3 kg / cm 2. ² , the air of 135 Nl / min was injected into the apparatus through the nozzle 2. Then, 1 minute after this press-fitting, the air coming out from the device opening outlet 5 was measured by an ion number measuring device (Kobe Denpa Co., Ltd., ion tester KST-
900), and the amount of anions generated in the air having a particle size of 0.002 μm or less was measured, and the results shown in Table 1 were obtained. Compared with the number of anions in the air before using this device, It was found that the amount of anions generated in this invention was greatly increased and was always higher than the amount of cations generated.

Alkaline ionized water and air were injected under the same conditions as above except that the humidity was 56 to 56.5% and the temperature was 32.7 ° C.
The amount of anions generated with a particle size of 1 μm was measured in the same manner as above. In this example, the operation of stopping the injection press-fitting for 1 minute on the way and the change in the amount of anions generated by contaminating the room during injection press-fitting with smoking were also considered. The results are shown in Table 2. The anion generation amount was considerably decreased during smoking, and the cation generation amount was higher than the anion generation amount. However, the method of the present invention is continued. As a result, the amount of anions generated immediately increased.

One or two or more can be used, and the point is that fine water droplets of 2 μm or more can be separated and removed by this honeycomb filter. Also, although only one nozzle is shown, it is necessary to apply the mixture of alkaline ionized water and air evenly and uniformly to the honeycomb filter, depending on the pattern width of the nozzle. May be attached two or more vertically or two or more horizontally.
