Most modern people have been living indoors for a long time, and keeping the indoor air clean is the key. In other words, air purifiers are provided in any place in the office, living room, or room to convert indoor air into healthy breathing air. Healthy breathing air refers to air free of harmful gas components or various odorous substances. It should contain as few bacteria, viruses and other pathogens as possible. It is well known that air containing a lot of odors degrades the quality of life by significantly deteriorating human comfort, condition and concentration.

Therefore, a technology for purifying indoor air has been developed. The known air purifying technology removes dust, dust and odors in the room, and uses activated charcoal filters or electric dust collection or anion to clean the air in the room. This mainstream, but the simple activated carbon filter alone does not keep the air effectively clean, and the method using the electrostatic anion not only generates ozone oxide, but also some dust, especially the size of 0.5 micro-area of the purification efficiency is not I couldn't. Negative ions are known to affect the parasympathetic nerves to relax the mind and body to stabilize the mood and calm the body.

The ion and ozone generators of the conventional ceramic ion generators are called corona plate discharge ozone generators, and a metal discharge electrode pattern is printed on the top surface of the dielectric ceramic plate and the induction electrode on the bottom surface thereof. Was prepared by printing and sintering. When an alternating current of high frequency and high voltage (usually around 20 KHz, 2-5 KV) is applied to the upper and lower electrodes, ozone is generated from oxygen in the air at the discharge electrode on the pattern surface.

On the other hand, the conventional negative ion generating device is configured to separate the precipitation pole and the plate electrode, the high current flows through the precipitation pole and the plate electrode is grounded to generate anion. Ceramic ion and ozone generator (ceramic negative ion generator plate) is produced by printing a needle-shaped electrode pattern of metal on the upper surface of the dielectric ceramic plate, and by induction electrode on the lower surface by sintering. When a direct current is applied by connecting an anode to an electrode on the lower surface of a cathode having a DC high voltage (usually 2 to 10 KV) to the electrode on the upper surface, anion is generated at the needle electrode on the pattern surface.

Looking more closely at this, when more than one voltage is applied to the insulator, it acts as a conductor. This phenomenon is called electric breakdown, and the current flowing along the breakdown is called electric discharge.

If the value is gradually increased by applying a DC voltage between the precipitation pole and the plate electrode, the air at the tip of the precipitation pole causes insulation breakdown and emits a weak light. At this time, a current of about micro A (10 ^-6 A) flows between the electrodes, and this discharge is called a corona discharge. The same local discharge occurs in liquids or solids, which are collectively called partial discharges. If the voltage is continuously increased, insulation breakdown occurs over the electric field between the electrodes at a value, and the current is rapidly increased by connecting the discharge path with high conductivity between the electrodes. This is called a complete breakdown or flashover, and the voltage between the electrodes where the breakdown occurs is called a breakdown voltage. When converter breakdown occurs in the gas, the electrodes are in a state in which a current easily flows, which means that a large number of electrons or ions are carried in the discharge space. In other words, these charged particles are produced by the ionization of gas, and ionization is a phenomenon in which atoms or molecules transfer energy from the outside to release electrons and become cations. Was bound to extranuclear electrons near the nucleus. Ionization is caused by collision of gas molecules with high-speed electrons, irradiation of gas with short wavelength light, or collision of gas molecules with each other. This state is called the ground state. When the atom in the ground state receives energy from the outside by collision with other particles or light irradiation, the extranuclear electrons are transferred to an energy level (outer orbit) higher than the ground state. This phenomenon is called excitation and the energy required for it is called excitation energy. When an atom receives more energy from the outside, the extranuclear electrons become free electrons and the atoms become cations. This is the aforementioned ionization, and the minimum energy required at this time is called ionization energy or ionization potential.

The recombination of positive and negative charged particles and return to neutral particles is called recombination. Recombination is divided into recombination between electrons and cations and recombination between anions and cations, but generally the latter is more likely to occur, and the atoms of the anion consist of the nucleus and the extranuclear electrons that traverse the outside, usually the extranuclear electrons are orbits close to the nucleus. This state is called the ground state. This is because the atoms in the ground state collide with other particles or are irradiated with light, and the velocity is extremely slower than the electrons, and thus there is a great chance of interaction by staying near the cation. Such a gas is called an electron negative gas. Examples thereof include halogen group (F, Cl, Br, I) having one outermost electron than an inert gas, a compound thereof, air containing oxygen, oxygen, water vapor and the like.

The phenomenon in which gas molecules are combined with free electrons to form anions is called electron attachment, and when a discharge occurs in air, the following phenomenon occurs.

Therefore, the conventional air cleaners generate ozone (O ₃ ) as described above because the gas discharge in the discharge form as described above, ozone also has a fatal effect on the human body as a toxic substance. This is due to the strong oxide of ozone, which requires gas discharge to produce negative ions, and ozone is generated from these by-products.

Oxygen generates ozone (O ₃ ) through discharge, and the generated ozone is reduced to oxygen by working with pollutants. Looking at the characteristics of the ozone (O ₃ ), the gas is slightly blue at room temperature, or blackish blue when the liquid becomes dark purple when it becomes a solid. It has a peculiar smell and can detect odors even if only 0.0002% by volume is present in the air. In addition, it has a strong oxidizing power, and is composed of three oxygen atoms, the boiling temperature of ozone is 115 ℃, the melting temperature is 192.5 ℃ and the weight is about 1.5 times heavier than air. In addition, when used as an oxidizing agent, it does not leave any harmful residues at all, its sterilizing power is very strong, it removes bacteria and viruses, has strong bleaching, and it is harmless by reacting with organic substances such as cigarette smoke and other odorous gases and various harmful substances. Has excellent efficacy.

Particularly, the heating of oxygen, the electrolysis of sulfuric acid, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and cathode rays also occur when passing through the air, which is a source of freshness due to the presence of ultraviolet-rich high mountains, coasts, and forests. In the case of large amounts, it is rather unpleasant. It is used to purify air by decomposing oxygen in theaters, schools, hospitals, etc. It is used for disinfecting beverages by sterilizing action, bleaching and determining the structure of organic compounds. Toxic to the human body, long-term inhalation of the respiratory tract should be careful.

Therefore, conventional air cleaners generate negative ions due to silent discharge and inevitably generate ozone (O ₃ ) as a by-product. As the concentration of ozone increases and when exposed to ozone for a long time, it breathes indoors. It was pointed out that a very serious problem of nausea and nausea and vomiting occurred in severe cases. In particular, it can be fatal to pregnant women, the elderly, and children.

On the other hand, the present invention relates to a lighting device that generates negative ions and ozone, and in particular, by mounting a high voltage transformer on a circuit board for generating a high voltage separately in the body of the lighting device, and transmitting the generated high voltage to the ceramic plate, thereby The present invention relates to a device for generating anion and ozone out of a body of a lighting fixture by combining oxygen generated in the air with plasma generated from carbon formed in the carbon dioxide. In addition, the circuit board for illuminating the lamp and the circuit board equipped with a high voltage transformer separately formed to generate a high voltage are located close to each other to prevent noise or interference caused by overlapping electric or magnetic fields generated from these circuit boards. In order to provide a barrier film between the substrate and the substrate, Utility Model Registration No. 20-0298324 discloses.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention has devised a simple air cleaning and sterilization and deodorizing device incorporating a device capable of selectively generating ions and ozone.

The purpose of the present invention is to use the ion and ozone generators that can separate and generate ions and ozone, so that the ozone does not come into direct contact with the human body in the absence of humans, thus driving the ozone generating function of the ion and ozone generators. To perform sterilization and deodorization, and to provide an air purifying, sterilizing and deodorizing device of a fluid operation method designed to perform germ sterilization and air cleaning in a room by driving ion generating function during human activity time.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to reduce the appearance of the device to facilitate transportation and handling, simply attach it anywhere in the interior space, such as home or public institutions, small offices, hospitality, accommodations and animal hospitals It is to provide a convenient device that can be used.

In addition, the ion wind, sterilization and deodorization switching button 16 is composed of a button 16 for converting the sterilization and deodorization wind generated by a high concentration of ozone and the ion wind generated anion harmless to humans.

On the other hand, the ion and ozone generator 11 of the present invention is composed of a device capable of selectively generating ions and ozone by the silent discharge method using the plasma. The ion and ozone generators that can be used in this paper can selectively perform the function of generating ions and ozone according to the operation of the ion and ozone generators built into the device.
