- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the ion generator 5.
- the ion generator 5 has two ion generating parts each composed of a needle electrode 15 and an induction electrode 16.

- the oxygen ions are combined (clustered) with water molecules in the air to generate negative ions composed of O 2 ⁇ (H 2 O) n (n is an arbitrary natural number).
- the ion generator may generate ions that do not bind to water molecules.
- the ion generator 5 has two ion generation units, and each ion generation unit is a positive ion generation unit and a negative ion generation unit. Therefore, positive ions and negative ions are released at the same time, and flow downstream through the air flow created by the fan 6.
- the ion generator 5 is arranged so that the ion generators are arranged side by side.
- the electrodes 15 and 16 are arranged on the fan 6 side.
- the electrodes 15 and 16 are preferably arranged in a direction perpendicular to the airflow. This is because the ion generator is not preferable because the ion generation surface with electrodes is horizontally long and the depth in the direction of the needle electrode 15 is long, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the intake port (intake filter 3) is blocked.
- FIGS. 4A to 4C are diagrams showing the arrangement of ion generators that can be taken in the present invention, and the amount of ions generated from the discharge port 12 was examined in the three arrangements shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C.
- Table 1 shows the amount of ions generated.
- the electrodes are arranged in the leeward direction with respect to the direction of the wind. Even in this case, ions of 900,000 / cc to 1.1 million / cc are emitted, and ions having no practical problem are discharged from the discharge port 12.

If the number of positive ions and negative ions is balanced, the probability that OH radicals are generated increases. When the hair is not balanced, the hair is positively charged, and therefore, more negative ions are preferable because the hair can be prevented from being squeaked or damaged.
- the ion generator is provided in a dedicated passage as in Patent Document 1, and the dedicated passage is a narrow passage that restricts the amount of air sent, However, it was weak and difficult to reach the hair. Further, in the configuration as in Patent Document 1, since the original wind of the dryer is hot and the air volume is strong, it is often not known that the weak wind coming out from the ion passage really hits the hair, and in many cases it does not actually hit the hair. It was. However, according to the present invention, since the same wind as the other wind is used instead of the ion-only wind, the user notices whether the ion wind is applied to the hair. Therefore, the ion can be used while being appropriately applied to the hair and scalp, so that the effect of the ion is easily exhibited.
- the ions blown downstream are blown to the hair via the discharge port 12 and the nozzle 13. Since hair is easily charged positively by brushing, negative ions can prevent static electricity and improve hair damage. In addition, it is possible to prevent generation of static electricity in the brush charged negatively by positive ions and improve hair damage. In addition, by applying ions bound to water molecules to the hair, moisture can penetrate into the hair with small water molecules at the nano and micro levels, and moist hair can be obtained.
- OH radicals When the ion generator 5 of this embodiment is used, positive ions and negative ions adhere to the scalp and both react to form OH radicals.
- the OH radicals oxidize the remaining shampoo and rinse residue on the scalp, which prevents hair growth, breaking the double bond. This can help make the scalp optimal for hair growth. Since OH radicals are unstable, they can exist only in nanosecond units. Therefore, even if OH radicals are produced by the ion generator 5, they disappear before reaching the scalp.
- positive ions and negative ions are produced in the ion generating portion, and both are reacted in the scalp, so that OH radicals can be effectively produced in the scalp.
- OH radical also has a sterilization and deodorizing effect.
- the ions generated from the ion generator 5 are sucked into the fan 6 at the same time. Since the fan 6 rotates at a high speed, static electricity is generated due to friction with the air, and dust is easily attached. In particular, small dust that passes through the intake filter 3 is easily sucked by static electricity.
- the ion generator 5 on the upstream side between the intake filter 3 and the fan 6 as in this embodiment, the charge of the fan 6 is reduced by the ions generated by the ion generator 5, and the fan 6 can be reduced from dust. Thereby, the fan 6 can be kept clean. Further, it is possible to prevent a problem that a lump of dust adhering to the fan 6 flows downstream, adheres to the heater and causes discharge, and a problem that a lump of dust adheres to the hair.
- a fan 6 made of polypropylene or polycarbonate it is easy to be negatively charged. Therefore, charging is prevented by wind containing positive ions, and dust adhesion due to static electricity can be reduced.
- the mica film inside the housing 2 and the plate around which the heater is usually wound are made of mica, and these are easy to be positively charged. Dust adhesion due to can be reduced. Further, when ions combined with water molecules are used as in this embodiment, generation of static electricity can be suppressed by the water molecules.
- the filter provided at the discharge port 12 may be charged and ions may be difficult to be emitted, but such a phenomenon can be prevented by positive and negative ions.
- the ion generator 5 Since the ion generator 5 is disposed at a position far from the heater 11, it is possible to prevent the ion generator 5 from malfunctioning or failing due to the heat of the heater 11.
- the positive ion ion generating part and the negative ion generating part of the ion generator 5 be arranged about 1/2 the diameter of the fan.
- the positive ion generator and the negative ion generator of the ion generator are preferably separated by about 20 mm or more in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the wind. Thereby, the neutralization of positive ions and negative ions can be reduced immediately after the generation of ions.
- the air flow path 7 When the air flow path 7 is divided into upper and lower portions as in the present embodiment, ions that do not pass through the heater 11 can be extracted from the discharge port 12, so that water is heated by heat particularly when ions combined with water molecules are used. This is effective because it can prevent the molecule from being broken.
- the upper air flow path 8 and the ion generator 5 are arranged substantially in parallel as in the present embodiment, it is effective because more air can be blown out of the hair dryer 1 by the upper air flow path 8. It is.

以下、本発明の実施例について図面を用いて説明する。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(ドライヤの構成)

図1は本発明の実施例1に係るヘアドライヤの内部構成を示す側面透視図であり、図2は背面透視図である。 (Dryer configuration)
1 is a side perspective view showing an internal configuration of a hair dryer according to
ヘアドライヤ1は、筐体2と、筐体2の空気の吸い込み側にある吸気フィルタ3と、筐体2に取り付けられたハンドル4と、ノズル13とから外装が構成されている。なお、筐体2、吸気フィルタ3、ハンドル4及びノズル13は一体形成されていてもよい。
The hair dryer 1 has an exterior composed of a housing 2, an intake filter 3 on the air suction side of the housing 2, a handle 4 attached to the housing 2, and a nozzle 13. The housing 2, the intake filter 3, the handle 4, and the nozzle 13 may be integrally formed.
筐体2の内部には、イオンを発生させるイオン発生器5、空気を送風するファン6、ファン6を駆動するための図示しないモーターや配線、仕切板10、ヒータ11が設けられている。
Inside the housing 2, an ion generator 5 for generating ions, a fan 6 for blowing air, a motor and wiring (not shown) for driving the fan 6, a partition plate 10, and a heater 11 are provided.
ここで、筐体2内でファン6よりも吸気フィルタ3側(図1の右側)を上流側、ファン6よりも吐出口12側(図1の左側)を下流側と呼ぶ。なお、ある部分を基準として、それよりも空気の流れが上流側を上流に位置するなどと呼ぶ。例えば、ファン6は空気流路7の上流に位置している。
Here, the intake filter 3 side (right side in FIG. 1) of the housing 2 is referred to as the upstream side, and the discharge port 12 side (left side of FIG. 1) from the fan 6 is referred to as the downstream side. In addition, on the basis of a certain part, it is called that the air flow is located upstream from the upstream side. For example, the fan 6 is located upstream of the air flow path 7.
筐体2について説明すると、プラスチック製で内部にマイカフィルムが貼り付けられ耐熱性が高められている。筐体2は、内部が空洞になっており、空気が流れるようになっている。筐体2は、筐体2の一方端は空気の流入口で吸気フィルタ3が取り付けられ、もう一方端は空気が吐き出される吐出口12となっており、その間に空気流路7がある。吐出口12には通常金属製のフィルタがつけられることが多い。
The case 2 will be described. It is made of plastic, and a mica film is stuck inside to enhance heat resistance. The housing 2 has a hollow inside so that air can flow. The housing 2 has an air inlet at one end of the housing 2 to which the intake filter 3 is attached, and the other end is an outlet 12 through which air is discharged. A metal filter is usually attached to the discharge port 12 in many cases.
吸気フィルタ3は金属又はプラスチック製であり、網目状や格子状に孔が開いている。吸気フィルタ3は、ほこりなど大きな異物が入らないように、また動作中に誤って指などがファン6に触れないように保護する役割を果たしている。ここでは、吸気フィルタ3は筐体2から着脱できるように筐体2に取り付けられている。
The intake filter 3 is made of metal or plastic and has holes in a mesh shape or a lattice shape. The intake filter 3 serves to protect large foreign objects such as dust from entering, and to prevent a finger from touching the fan 6 accidentally during operation. Here, the intake filter 3 is attached to the housing 2 so as to be detachable from the housing 2.
ハンドル4は、プラスチック製であり、スイッチ14が設けられている。ハンドル4にあるスイッチ14を操作しヘアドライヤ1を動作状態にすると、イオン発生器5、ファン6、ヒータ11が動作する。スイッチ14の操作により、例えば髪を乾かすのに適した強温風モード、スタイリングに適した弱温風モード、風のみを送風する送風モードなど用途に応じたモードに切り替えることができる。送風モード時にはヒータ11は動作しない。
The handle 4 is made of plastic and is provided with a switch 14. When the switch 14 on the handle 4 is operated to bring the hair dryer 1 into an operating state, the ion generator 5, the fan 6, and the heater 11 are operated. By operating the switch 14, for example, it is possible to switch to a mode according to the application such as a high-temperature air mode suitable for drying hair, a low-temperature air mode suitable for styling, and a ventilation mode for blowing only the wind. The heater 11 does not operate in the air blowing mode.
イオン発生器5は筐体2の上流側に配置され、具体的には吸気フィルタ3とファン6の間に配置されている。また、イオン発生器5はファン6の中心線よりも上方に配置されている。イオン発生器5は、イオンを発生させており、それと同時にイオンと水分子が結合している状態のイオンを発生させる場合もある。イオンやイオンに結合している水分子により髪の除電や髪をしっとりとさせる効果を発揮する。
The ion generator 5 is disposed on the upstream side of the housing 2, specifically, is disposed between the intake filter 3 and the fan 6. Further, the ion generator 5 is disposed above the center line of the fan 6. The ion generator 5 generates ions, and at the same time, may generate ions in a state where ions and water molecules are bonded. Demonstrates the effect of neutralizing and moisturizing hair with ions and water molecules bonded to ions.
ファン6は、空気を吸気フィルタ3を介して筐体2内に取り込み、筐体2の吐出口12より外へ送りだす。ファン6は、ポリプロピレン製である。ファン6から送風された空気は、空気流路7を通る。空気流路7は、マイカ製の仕切板10により上空気流路8と下空気流路9に分かれている。下空気流路9を通る空気は、ヒータ11により温められ温風として外へ送りだされる。上空気流路8を通る空気は、ヒータ11を介さずにそのまま送りだされる。上下の空気流路を通った空気は、吐出口12を出て、ノズル13の先端から外へ送りだされる。
The fan 6 takes air into the housing 2 through the intake filter 3 and sends it out from the discharge port 12 of the housing 2. The fan 6 is made of polypropylene. Air blown from the fan 6 passes through the air flow path 7. The air flow path 7 is divided into an upper air flow path 8 and a lower air flow path 9 by a partition plate 10 made of mica. The air passing through the lower air flow path 9 is warmed by the heater 11 and sent out as warm air. The air passing through the upper air flow path 8 is sent out without passing through the heater 11. The air that has passed through the upper and lower air channels exits the discharge port 12 and is sent out from the tip of the nozzle 13.
このように、温風と通常の空気(冷風)が入り混じって送風することにより、温風の熱により髪の水素の結合が切れくせ毛を伸ばすことができ、その直後に冷風を当てると再び髪の水素の結合が起こるためくせ毛が伸びた状態で固定させることができ、髪のスタイリングをよくすることができる。
In this way, hot air and normal air (cold air) are mixed and blown, so that the heat of the hot air breaks the hydrogen bond of the hair and stretches the hair, and when cold air is applied immediately after that, the hair is again Since hydrogen bonding occurs, the hair can be fixed in a stretched state, and hair styling can be improved.
ノズル13は、プラスチック製で、断面形状が台形状になっており吐き出し口側が広く他端が狭くなっている。ノズル13は、吐出口12から吐き出される空気が広がらないように整流する。
The nozzle 13 is made of plastic, has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, has a wide discharge port side, and the other end is narrow. The nozzle 13 rectifies so that the air discharged from the discharge port 12 does not spread.
本実施例のように、吸気フィルタ3の吸気面積が空気流路7の内寸よりも大きいことが望ましい。これにより、より速い風をヘアドライヤ1の外部へ送風することができる。
(イオン発生器)
次に、イオン発生器5について詳細に説明する。 As in the present embodiment, it is desirable that the intake area of theintake filter 3 is larger than the inner dimension of the air flow path 7. Thereby, a faster wind can be blown to the outside of the hair dryer 1.

Next, theion generator 5 will be described in detail.

次に、イオン発生器5について詳細に説明する。 As in the present embodiment, it is desirable that the intake area of the

Next, the
図3は、イオン発生器5の斜視図である。イオン発生器5は、針電極15と誘導電極16からなるイオン発生部を2つ有している。各イオン発生部は、針電極15は先端が尖った針形状であり、その周囲を囲むように円形の誘導電極16が配置され、両電極間の間隔は8mmになっている。
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the ion generator 5. The ion generator 5 has two ion generating parts each composed of a needle electrode 15 and an induction electrode 16. In each ion generating part, the needle electrode 15 has a needle shape with a pointed tip, and a circular induction electrode 16 is arranged so as to surround the periphery of the needle electrode 15, and the distance between both electrodes is 8 mm.
例えば、針電極15に実効電圧+2kV以上の電圧と0Vが切り替わる60Hzの交流を印加し、誘導電極16に0Vの直流を印加することによりイオンが発生する。針電極15に実効電圧+2kV以上が印加されているときに誘導電極16との間の電位差によりコロナ放電が起こり、針電極15の先端部近傍で空気中の水分子が電離して水素イオン(H+)が生成する。この水素イオンが空気中の水分子と群状態で結合(クラスタリング)し、H+(H2O)m(mは任意の自然数)から成る正イオンが発生する。
For example, a voltage of effective voltage +2 kV or higher and 60 Hz alternating current that switches 0 V are applied to the needle electrode 15, and ions are generated by applying 0 V direct current to the induction electrode 16. When an effective voltage of +2 kV or more is applied to the needle electrode 15, corona discharge occurs due to a potential difference with the induction electrode 16, and water molecules in the air are ionized near the tip of the needle electrode 15 to generate hydrogen ions (H + ) Is generated. The hydrogen ions are combined (clustering) with water molecules in the air in a group state (clustering), and positive ions composed of H + (H 2 O) m (m is an arbitrary natural number) are generated.
また、針電極15に実効電圧-2kV以下の電圧と0Vが切り替わる60Hzの交流を印加し、誘導電極16に0Vの直流を印加することによりマイナスイオンが発生する。このマイナスイオンは、空気中の酸素分子又は水分子が電離して酸素イオンO2
-が生成する。この酸素イオンが空気中の水分子と結合(クラスタリング)して、O2
-(H2O)n(nは任意の自然数)から成る負イオンが発生する。尚、本発明では、イオン発生器が、水分子と結合しないイオンを発生するようにしても良い。
Further, a negative ion is generated by applying a 60 Hz alternating current at which effective voltage −2 kV or less and 0 V are switched to the needle electrode 15 and applying a direct current of 0 V to the induction electrode 16. The negative ions are ionized by oxygen molecules or water molecules in the air to generate oxygen ions O 2 − . The oxygen ions are combined (clustered) with water molecules in the air to generate negative ions composed of O 2 − (H 2 O) n (n is an arbitrary natural number). In the present invention, the ion generator may generate ions that do not bind to water molecules.
ここでは、イオン発生器5はイオン発生部を2つ有しており、各イオン発生部はプラスイオン発生部とマイナスイオン発生部となっている。そのため、プラスイオンとマイナスイオンが同時に放出され、ファン6により作りだされる空気の気流に乗って下流へと流れる。
Here, the ion generator 5 has two ion generation units, and each ion generation unit is a positive ion generation unit and a negative ion generation unit. Therefore, positive ions and negative ions are released at the same time, and flow downstream through the air flow created by the fan 6.
イオン発生器5は図3に示すようにイオン発生部が左右に並ぶように配置されている。また、電極15、16はファン6側に配置されている。本来は電極15、16が気流に対して垂直になるような方向に配置することが好ましい。これは、イオン発生器は図3に示すように電極があるイオン発生面が横長で、針電極15方向の奥行きが長いため、吸気口(吸気フィルタ3)をさえぎる配置となり好ましくないからである。
As shown in FIG. 3, the ion generator 5 is arranged so that the ion generators are arranged side by side. The electrodes 15 and 16 are arranged on the fan 6 side. Originally, the electrodes 15 and 16 are preferably arranged in a direction perpendicular to the airflow. This is because the ion generator is not preferable because the ion generation surface with electrodes is horizontally long and the depth in the direction of the needle electrode 15 is long, as shown in FIG. 3, so that the intake port (intake filter 3) is blocked.
図4A~図4Cは本発明で取り得るイオン発生器の配置を示す図であり、図4Aから図4Cに示す3つの配置で吐出口12から出てくるイオンの発生量を調べた。イオンの発生量を表1に示す。
4A to 4C are diagrams showing the arrangement of ion generators that can be taken in the present invention, and the amount of ions generated from the discharge port 12 was examined in the three arrangements shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C. Table 1 shows the amount of ions generated.
図4Aに示すようにイオン発生器5を矢印で示す風の流れに対し直交する方向に電極を配置した場合は表1に示すように95万個/ccから120万個/ccのイオンが出ており、送風される空気中のイオン濃度がもっとも濃い。ここでは、通常の送風量のときと(NORMAL)、送風量が多い(送風が速い)状態(TURBO)の2つの状態で実験を行った。なお、図では電極が下向きになっているが上向きでもほぼ同じ結果が得られる。
When the electrodes are arranged in the direction orthogonal to the wind flow indicated by the arrows as shown in FIG. 4A, ions from 550,000 / cc to 1.2 million / cc are emitted as shown in Table 1. The ion concentration in the blown air is the highest. Here, the experiment was performed in two states: a normal air flow rate (NORMAL) and a state where the air flow rate is large (air blowing is fast) (TURBO). In the figure, the electrode is facing downward, but the same result can be obtained even when facing upward.
図4Bは風の向きに対し風下の方に電極は配置されている。この場合でも、90万個/ccから110万個/ccのイオンが出ており実用上問題のない量のイオンが吐出口12から吐き出される。
In FIG. 4B, the electrodes are arranged in the leeward direction with respect to the direction of the wind. Even in this case, ions of 900,000 / cc to 1.1 million / cc are emitted, and ions having no practical problem are discharged from the discharge port 12.
また、図4Cは風の向きに対し風上の方に電極は配置されている。この場合でも、95万個/ccから105万個/ccのイオンが出ており実用上問題のない量のイオンが吐出口12から吐き出される。
Further, in FIG. 4C, the electrodes are arranged on the windward side with respect to the wind direction. Even in this case, ions of 950,000 / cc to 1,050,000 / cc are emitted, and ions having no practical problem are discharged from the discharge port 12.
このように、吐き出されるイオンの量はどのように配置しても十分な量が得られるため、イオン発生器5による吸入口で遮られることにより送風量が落ちないように図4Bまたは図4Cのように配置することが好ましい。特に、電極にほこりが直接つきにくい図4Bの配置が好ましい。
In this way, a sufficient amount of ions can be obtained regardless of the amount of ions to be exhaled. Therefore, the amount of blown air is not reduced by being blocked by the suction port of the ion generator 5 as shown in FIG. 4B or 4C. It is preferable to arrange in such a manner. In particular, the arrangement shown in FIG.
なお、吐き出されるプラスイオンとマイナスイオンはほぼ同数、若しくはマイナスイオンの方が多いことが望ましい。プラスイオンとマイナスイオンの数のバランスが取れている方がOHラジカルが発生する確率が高くなる。バランスしていない場合は、髪はプラスに帯電しているためマイナスイオンが多い方が髪のきしみや傷みを防止することができるため好ましい。
In addition, it is desirable that the positive ions and negative ions to be discharged are almost the same number or more negative ions. If the number of positive ions and negative ions is balanced, the probability that OH radicals are generated increases. When the hair is not balanced, the hair is positively charged, and therefore, more negative ions are preferable because the hair can be prevented from being squeaked or damaged.
従来のイオン発生器が搭載されているヘアドライヤでは、特許文献1のようにイオン発生器は専用通路に設けられ、専用通路は空気の送付量が制限されるような細い通路になっており、風量が弱く髪に届きにくいという欠点があった。また、特許文献1のような構成ではドライヤの本来の風が熱く風量が強いため、イオン専用通路から出る弱い風が本当に髪に当たっているか気がついていないことが多く、実際には髪に当たっていないことも多かった。しかし、本発明のようにすると、イオン専用風ではなく他の風と同じ風を用いているため、使用者が髪にイオン風が当たっているかどうかに気がつく。したがって、イオンをため髪や頭皮に適切に当てながら使用することができるため、イオンによる効果を発揮しやすい。
In a hair dryer equipped with a conventional ion generator, the ion generator is provided in a dedicated passage as in Patent Document 1, and the dedicated passage is a narrow passage that restricts the amount of air sent, However, it was weak and difficult to reach the hair. Further, in the configuration as in Patent Document 1, since the original wind of the dryer is hot and the air volume is strong, it is often not known that the weak wind coming out from the ion passage really hits the hair, and in many cases it does not actually hit the hair. It was. However, according to the present invention, since the same wind as the other wind is used instead of the ion-only wind, the user notices whether the ion wind is applied to the hair. Therefore, the ion can be used while being appropriately applied to the hair and scalp, so that the effect of the ion is easily exhibited.
しかも、表1を見れば明らかなように風量が多くなれば発生したイオンを効果的にヘアドライヤの外に出すことができるため、サロンのような強い風を使って髪を乾かしたときにより強い効果が発揮できることになり、しっとりとしたきしみや傷みのないサロンのブローをしたような効果を家庭でも得られるようになる。
Moreover, as can be seen from Table 1, if the air volume increases, the generated ions can be effectively removed from the hair dryer, so the effect is stronger when the hair is dried using a strong air like a salon. Will be able to exert a moist squeaky and brutal salon blow effect at home.
下流に送風されたイオンは、吐出口12、ノズル13を経由して髪に送風される。髪はブラッシングによりプラスに帯電しやすいため、マイナスイオンにより静電気の発生を防止し髪の傷みを改善することができる。また、プラスイオンによりマイナスに帯電したブラシの静電気の発生を防止し髪の傷みを改善することができる。さらに、水分子と結合したイオンを髪に当てることにより、ナノやマイクロレベルの小さな水分子により髪に水分を浸透させることができ、しっとりとした髪を得ることができる。
The ions blown downstream are blown to the hair via the discharge port 12 and the nozzle 13. Since hair is easily charged positively by brushing, negative ions can prevent static electricity and improve hair damage. In addition, it is possible to prevent generation of static electricity in the brush charged negatively by positive ions and improve hair damage. In addition, by applying ions bound to water molecules to the hair, moisture can penetrate into the hair with small water molecules at the nano and micro levels, and moist hair can be obtained.
本実施例のイオン発生器5を用いるとプラスイオンとマイナスイオンが頭皮に付着し、両者が反応しOHラジカルを作る。OHラジカルは、育毛のさまたげになっている頭皮に残っているシャンプーやリンスの残りかすを酸化させ、二重結合を断ち切る。これにより育毛に最適な頭皮を作る手助けをすることができる。なお、OHラジカルは不安定であるためナノ秒単位でしか存在することができない。そのためOHラジカルをイオン発生器5で作りだしても頭皮に届く前に消滅してしまう。しかし、本実施例のようにプラスイオンとマイナスイオンをイオン発生部で作りだし、頭皮で両者を反応させることにより効果的に頭皮でOHラジカルを作り出すことができる。また、OHラジカルは除菌消臭効果もある。
When the ion generator 5 of this embodiment is used, positive ions and negative ions adhere to the scalp and both react to form OH radicals. The OH radicals oxidize the remaining shampoo and rinse residue on the scalp, which prevents hair growth, breaking the double bond. This can help make the scalp optimal for hair growth. Since OH radicals are unstable, they can exist only in nanosecond units. Therefore, even if OH radicals are produced by the ion generator 5, they disappear before reaching the scalp. However, as in the present embodiment, positive ions and negative ions are produced in the ion generating portion, and both are reacted in the scalp, so that OH radicals can be effectively produced in the scalp. Moreover, OH radical also has a sterilization and deodorizing effect.
本実施例では、同時に、イオン発生器5より発生したイオンは、ファン6に吸い込まれる。ファン6は、高速で回転するため空気との摩擦により静電気が発生し、ほこりが付きやすい。特に、吸気フィルタ3をすり抜ける小さなほこりは静電気により簡単に吸引されやすい。しかし、本実施例のように、イオン発生器5を吸気フィルタ3とファン6の間である上流側に配置することにより、イオン発生器5で発生したイオンによりファン6の帯電を軽減し、ファン6にほこりが付くのを軽減することができる。これにより、ファン6を清潔に保つことができる。また、ファン6に付着したほこりの塊りが下流に流れ、ヒータに付着し放電を引き起こすことによる火災のおそれや、ほこりの塊りが髪に付着するといった問題を防止することができる。
In this embodiment, the ions generated from the ion generator 5 are sucked into the fan 6 at the same time. Since the fan 6 rotates at a high speed, static electricity is generated due to friction with the air, and dust is easily attached. In particular, small dust that passes through the intake filter 3 is easily sucked by static electricity. However, by disposing the ion generator 5 on the upstream side between the intake filter 3 and the fan 6 as in this embodiment, the charge of the fan 6 is reduced by the ions generated by the ion generator 5, and the fan 6 can be reduced from dust. Thereby, the fan 6 can be kept clean. Further, it is possible to prevent a problem that a lump of dust adhering to the fan 6 flows downstream, adheres to the heater and causes discharge, and a problem that a lump of dust adheres to the hair.
例えば、ポリプロピレン、ポリカーボネート製のファン6を用いた場合はマイナスに帯電しやすいため、プラスイオンを含んだ風により帯電が防止され、静電気によるほこりの付着を軽減することができる。なお、本実施例で帯電が防止できるのはファン6だけではない。筐体2の内部にあるマイカフィルムと、通常ヒータを巻きつけている板とは、マイカでできており、これらはプラスに帯電しやすいが、マイナスイオンを含んだ風により帯電が防止され、静電気によるほこりの付着を軽減することができる。さらに、本実施例のように水分子と結合したイオンを用いると、水分子により静電気の発生を抑えることもできる。
For example, when a fan 6 made of polypropylene or polycarbonate is used, it is easy to be negatively charged. Therefore, charging is prevented by wind containing positive ions, and dust adhesion due to static electricity can be reduced. In this embodiment, it is not only the fan 6 that can prevent charging. The mica film inside the housing 2 and the plate around which the heater is usually wound are made of mica, and these are easy to be positively charged. Dust adhesion due to can be reduced. Further, when ions combined with water molecules are used as in this embodiment, generation of static electricity can be suppressed by the water molecules.
マイナスイオンあるいはプラスイオンだけ用いた場合は吐出口12に設けてあるフィルタが帯電してイオンが出にくくなることがあるが、プラスとマイナスのイオンによりそのような現象が防止できる。
When only negative ions or positive ions are used, the filter provided at the discharge port 12 may be charged and ions may be difficult to be emitted, but such a phenomenon can be prevented by positive and negative ions.
イオン発生器5をヒータ11から遠い位置に配置しているため、イオン発生器5がヒータ11の熱により誤動作、故障することを防止することができる。
Since the ion generator 5 is disposed at a position far from the heater 11, it is possible to prevent the ion generator 5 from malfunctioning or failing due to the heat of the heater 11.
ファン6としてプロペラファンなど旋回風を送風するものを使った場合、ファン6よりもイオン発生器5を下流に配置するとイオンが発生した直後に旋回風が送られてくるため、プラスイオンとマイナスイオンが中和しヘアドライヤ1の外に出るイオンの量が少なくなる問題があった。しかし、本実施例のようにファン6の上流に配置することで比較的平行風がイオン発生器5に当たるようになりイオン発生直後に中和することがなくなる。一旦、プラスイオンとマイナスイオンで分離された状態で送風されれば、その後旋回風となっても分離した状態が続き中和されにくくなるため、ヘアドライヤ1の外に出るイオンの量を増やすことができる。
When a fan 6 that uses a rotating fan such as a propeller fan is used as the fan 6, if the ion generator 5 is arranged downstream of the fan 6, the rotating wind is sent immediately after the ions are generated. There is a problem that the amount of ions that are neutralized and go out of the hair dryer 1 is reduced. However, by arranging it upstream of the fan 6 as in the present embodiment, relatively parallel wind comes into contact with the ion generator 5 and neutralization immediately after the generation of ions is prevented. Once the air is blown in a state where it is separated into positive ions and negative ions, the separated state continues and it becomes difficult to neutralize even if it becomes a swirl wind, so the amount of ions that go out of the hair dryer 1 can be increased. it can.
イオン発生器5のプラスイオンのイオン発生部と、マイナスイオンのイオン発生部とをファンの直径の1/2程度離れて配置することが望ましい。特に、イオン発生器のプラスイオンのイオン発生部と、マイナスイオンのイオン発生部とを風の向きに対して直交する方向に約20mm以上離すとよい。これにより、イオン発生直後にプラスイオンとマイナスイオンが中和を減少することができる。
It is desirable that the positive ion ion generating part and the negative ion generating part of the ion generator 5 be arranged about 1/2 the diameter of the fan. In particular, the positive ion generator and the negative ion generator of the ion generator are preferably separated by about 20 mm or more in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the wind. Thereby, the neutralization of positive ions and negative ions can be reduced immediately after the generation of ions.
本実施例のように空気中の水分子を利用するイオン発生器を用いる場合は、特許文献1のように狭い空気流路に置くよりも、大量の空気を吸気する吸気側(上流側)に設けることにより、効果的に空気中の水分子を利用することができ、イオンや水分子に結合したイオンを多く発生させることができる。そのため、ファン6などの静電気の発生防止、髪の静電気の発生防止の効果が上がる。
When using an ion generator that utilizes water molecules in the air as in the present embodiment, rather than placing it in a narrow air flow path as in Patent Document 1, it is on the intake side (upstream side) that inhales a large amount of air. By providing, water molecules in the air can be used effectively, and a large number of ions and ions bonded to the water molecules can be generated. For this reason, the effect of preventing the static electricity generation of the fan 6 and the like and the prevention of the static electricity generation of the hair are improved.
本実施例のように上下に分かれた空気流路7とした場合、ヒータ11を通らないイオンを吐出口12から出すことができるため、特に水分子と結合したイオンを用いた場合に熱で水分子が壊れることを防止することができるため有効である。特に、本実施例のように上空気流路8とイオン発生器5とをほぼ平行に配置すると、上空気流路8によりヘアドライヤ1の外へより多くのイオンを送風することができるため効果的である。
When the air flow path 7 is divided into upper and lower portions as in the present embodiment, ions that do not pass through the heater 11 can be extracted from the discharge port 12, so that water is heated by heat particularly when ions combined with water molecules are used. This is effective because it can prevent the molecule from being broken. In particular, when the upper air flow path 8 and the ion generator 5 are arranged substantially in parallel as in the present embodiment, it is effective because more air can be blown out of the hair dryer 1 by the upper air flow path 8. It is.
図5は本発明の実施例2に係るヘアドライヤの正面図である。本実施例2では、空気流路7を仕切板10により上空気流路8と下空気流路9とに分けただけでなく、上空気流路8を左上空気流路8aと右上空気流路8bに分離した。その他は実施例1と同じである。このようにすると、仕切板10の形状を変えるだけでイオン発生器5で発生したプラスイオンとマイナスイオンが空気流路7で混ざることが少なくなりヘアドライヤ1の外へ出るイオンの量を多くすることができる。なお、仕切り板10は一体形成されたもの以外にも別々の部材によっても作ることができる。
FIG. 5 is a front view of a hair dryer according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the second embodiment, not only the air flow path 7 is divided into the upper air flow path 8 and the lower air flow path 9 by the partition plate 10, but the upper air flow path 8 is divided into the upper left air flow path 8a and the upper right air flow path. Separated into 8b. Others are the same as in the first embodiment. In this way, by changing the shape of the partition plate 10, the positive ions and negative ions generated by the ion generator 5 are less likely to be mixed in the air flow path 7, and the amount of ions leaving the hair dryer 1 is increased. Can do. In addition, the partition plate 10 can be made by a separate member other than the integrally formed plate.
本実施例3では、実施例1、2と異なりマイナスイオン発生部のみを有する(プラスイオン発生部を有さない)イオン発生器5を用いた。また、ファン6としてエンジニアリングプラスチックであるポリアミド=ナイロン製のものを用いた。
In this third embodiment, unlike the first and second embodiments, an ion generator 5 having only a negative ion generation section (without a positive ion generation section) was used. Further, as the fan 6, an engineering plastic made of polyamide = nylon was used.
イオン発生器5としてペルチェ素子付きのものを用いることが望ましい。ペルチェ素子は、ペルチェ素子の吸熱面側の表面が周囲との温度差により結露が生じ水分を効果的に発生させることができる。その水分を用いて対向する電極間にマイナス電位を与えることにより、マイナスイオンに帯電した帯電微粒子を作ることができる。このマイナスイオンに帯電した帯電微粒子(水分子と結合したマイナスイオン)を髪に送風することにより静電気の発生を防止し、髪にしっとり感を与えることができる。
It is desirable to use an ion generator 5 with a Peltier element. In the Peltier element, condensation is generated on the surface of the Peltier element on the heat absorbing surface side due to a temperature difference from the surroundings, and moisture can be effectively generated. By applying a negative potential between the opposing electrodes using the moisture, charged fine particles charged into negative ions can be produced. By blowing charged fine particles (negative ions combined with water molecules) charged to the negative ions to the hair, generation of static electricity can be prevented and the hair can be given a moist feeling.
また、ポリアミド=ナイロンはプラスに帯電しやすいため、イオン発生器5で発生するマイナスイオン(帯電微粒子)により、ファンの帯電を軽減し、ファンへのほこりの付着を軽減することができる。また、本実施例のように帯電微粒子を用いると水分により静電気の発生を抑えることもできる。
In addition, since polyamide = nylon is easy to be positively charged, negative ions (charged fine particles) generated by the ion generator 5 can reduce the charging of the fan and reduce the adhesion of dust to the fan. In addition, when charged fine particles are used as in this embodiment, the generation of static electricity due to moisture can be suppressed.

FIG. 6 is a side perspective view showing an internal configuration of a hair dryer according to Example 4 of the present invention, and FIGS. 7A and 7B are perspective views showing an example of a fan.
実施例1から3と本実施例との違いは、空気流路7が上下に分かれておらず一つの空気流路が形成されていることである。なお、ヒータ11はこれまでの実施例と同様に空気流路の下部分のみに設けられている。図7Aに吹出側、図7Bに吸込側を示すように、ファン6は吹出側に整流板がついた羽6aを有する。
The difference between the first to third embodiments and the present embodiment is that the air flow path 7 is not divided vertically and one air flow path is formed. The heater 11 is provided only in the lower part of the air flow path as in the previous embodiments. As shown in FIG. 7A on the blow-out side and FIG. 7B on the suction side, the fan 6 has a blade 6a with a rectifying plate on the blow-out side.
このような構成でも、イオン発生器5により発生したイオンの多くは平行風に乗って、空気流路7の上側を通り、ヒータ11により熱せられることなくイオンを含んだ風が吐出口12から送風される。そのため、イオン及びイオンと結合した水分子が熱せられることによる問題を軽減することが可能となる。また、プラスイオンとマイナスイオンを発生させた場合、両者が中和するのを防止することができる。
Even in such a configuration, most of the ions generated by the ion generator 5 ride on the parallel wind, pass through the upper side of the air flow path 7, and the wind containing the ions is blown from the discharge port 12 without being heated by the heater 11. Is done. Therefore, it is possible to alleviate problems caused by heating of ions and water molecules bonded to the ions. Further, when positive ions and negative ions are generated, neutralization of both can be prevented.
なお、本実施例4のファン6と、実施例1及び2で説明した仕切板10とを併用すると、
空気流路7内でヒータ11の熱を遮断できることと、空気流路7内でプラスイオンとマイナスイオンが混合して中和することを防止することとを、実現できるため、さらに効果的である。 In addition, when thefan 6 of the fourth embodiment and the partition plate 10 described in the first and second embodiments are used in combination,
Since it is possible to realize that the heat of theheater 11 can be cut off in the air flow path 7 and that the positive ions and the negative ions are prevented from being mixed and neutralized in the air flow path 7, it is more effective. .
空気流路7内でヒータ11の熱を遮断できることと、空気流路7内でプラスイオンとマイナスイオンが混合して中和することを防止することとを、実現できるため、さらに効果的である。 In addition, when the
Since it is possible to realize that the heat of the

FIG. 8 is a side perspective view showing the internal configuration of the hair dryer according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
本実施例では実施例1などと異なり上空気流路8にヒータ11を配置し、下空気流路9にはヒータ11がなくファン6から送風された空気がそのまま通る構成となっている。それに合わせてイオン発生器5も下側に配置している。このように配置するとイオン発生器5の電源回路など電気回路をハンドル周辺にまとめて配置することが可能となり好都合である。
In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the heater 11 is disposed in the upper air flow path 8, and the air blown from the fan 6 passes through the lower air flow path 9 as it is without the heater 11. Accordingly, the ion generator 5 is also arranged on the lower side. This arrangement is convenient because it is possible to arrange electric circuits such as a power supply circuit of the ion generator 5 around the handle.
また、使用者は熱風を髪に当てるため、実施例1のように下空気流路9を熱風が通るようにすると上空気流路8を通ったイオン風が髪以外のところにあたっていることがあった。しかし、熱風が通る空気流路を上側の上空気流路8とすると下空気流路9を通ったイオン風が髪にあたっている時間が多くなり好ましい。
In addition, since the user applies hot air to the hair, if the hot air passes through the lower air flow path 9 as in the first embodiment, the ion wind that has passed through the upper air flow path 8 may hit other places than the hair. It was. However, if the air flow path through which the hot air passes is the upper upper air flow path 8, it is preferable because the time during which the ion wind that has passed through the lower air flow path 9 hits the hair increases.
図9Aおよび図9Bは本発明の実施例6に係るヘアドライヤの斜視図である。
9A and 9B are perspective views of a hair dryer according to Example 6 of the present invention.
本実施例6では、イオン発生器5のメンテナンスのために吸気フィルタ3を筺体2から取り外すための具体的な構成を示した。
In the sixth embodiment, a specific configuration for removing the intake filter 3 from the housing 2 for maintenance of the ion generator 5 is shown.
まず、図9Aに示すように、吸気フィルタ3を筐体2から取り外す。吸気フィルタ3と筺体2は、爪により取り付けられていてもよいし、磁石を用いて取り付けられていてもよいし、回転させて取り外しができるようにしてもよく、具体的な構成は特に問わない。
First, as shown in FIG. 9A, the intake filter 3 is removed from the housing 2. The intake filter 3 and the housing 2 may be attached by claws, may be attached using magnets, or may be rotated and removed, and the specific configuration is not particularly limited. .
次に、図9Bに示すように、イオン発生器5を筐体2から取り外す。本実施例では、イオン発生器5をスライドさせることにより筺体2から容易に取り外せるようにした。イオン発生器5の電源は電極側の下にコネクタをつけて、抜き差しするだけで電源とつなぐことができる。なお、スライド機構以外に、ネジ止め、バネを用いたプッシュ機構など様々な形態を用いることができる。
Next, the ion generator 5 is removed from the housing 2 as shown in FIG. 9B. In this embodiment, the ion generator 5 can be easily removed from the housing 2 by sliding. The power source of the ion generator 5 can be connected to the power source simply by attaching a connector under the electrode side and inserting and removing it. In addition to the slide mechanism, various forms such as screwing and a push mechanism using a spring can be used.
吸気フィルタ3を筺体2から取り外すことにより、イオン発生器5のメンテナンス、交換が容易に行えるようになる。イオン発生器5の針電極15及び誘導電極16、特に針電極15はイオンを発生させていくと徐々に表面に異物が付着し性能を発揮しなくなる。特にヘアスプレを用いると、空気中にその成分が残り、その空気をファンが取り込むことにより電極の表面に異物が付着しやすくなり、比較的早い段階で性能を発揮しなくなることを本願発明者らは実験により確認した。そのため、定期的に電極のメンテナンスを行うか、イオン発生器5の交換を行うことが望ましい。
By removing the intake filter 3 from the housing 2, the ion generator 5 can be easily maintained and replaced. When the needle electrode 15 and the induction electrode 16 of the ion generator 5, particularly the needle electrode 15, generate ions, foreign matter gradually adheres to the surface and does not exhibit performance. In particular, when hair spray is used, the components remain in the air, and when the fan takes in the air, foreign substances are likely to adhere to the surface of the electrode, and the inventors of the present application will not perform at a relatively early stage. Confirmed by experiment. Therefore, it is desirable to periodically perform electrode maintenance or replace the ion generator 5.
このようにイオン発生器5をファン6の上流に配置することにより容易にイオン発生器5をメンテナンスすることができるようになる。
As described above, the ion generator 5 can be easily maintained by arranging the ion generator 5 upstream of the fan 6.
図10は本発明の実施例7に係るヘアドライヤの内部構成を示す側面透視図である。
FIG. 10 is a side perspective view showing the internal configuration of the hair dryer according to Example 7 of the present invention.
本実施例7では、これまでの実施例と異なり吸気フィルタ3をイオン発生器5とファン6との間に配置した。イオン発生器5はこれまでと同様に筐体2内の上流側、つまりファン6の上流に配置されている。
In the seventh embodiment, unlike the previous embodiments, the intake filter 3 is disposed between the ion generator 5 and the fan 6. The ion generator 5 is arranged upstream of the housing 2, that is, upstream of the fan 6 as before.
空気は、吸気フィルタ3から入りファン6へ吸い込まれ、ファン6から空気流路7を通って吐出口12、ノズル13を介してヘアドライヤ1の外へ送風される。イオンは、イオン発生器5で発生した後、吸気フィルタ3からファン6への風の流れにのって下流へ送風される。従って、イオンによるファン6の帯電の防止など、これまで説明した実施例と同様な効果が得られる。
The air enters through the intake filter 3 and is sucked into the fan 6, and is blown out of the hair dryer 1 from the fan 6 through the air flow path 7 through the discharge port 12 and the nozzle 13. Ions are generated by the ion generator 5 and then blown downstream along the flow of air from the intake filter 3 to the fan 6. Therefore, effects similar to those of the embodiments described so far can be obtained, such as prevention of charging of the fan 6 by ions.
また、本実施例ではイオン発生器5をメンテナンスする場合、実施例6のように吸気フィルタ3を取り外してメンテナンスをするのではなく、裏蓋17を取り外し可能な構造として、メンテナンスを行えるようにした。裏蓋17は筐体2と外観上の一体感を損なわないように同じ材料を使うことが好ましい。
Further, in the present embodiment, when the ion generator 5 is maintained, the maintenance is performed by adopting a structure in which the back cover 17 can be removed, instead of performing the maintenance by removing the intake filter 3 as in the sixth embodiment. . The back cover 17 is preferably made of the same material so as not to impair the sense of unity with the housing 2 in appearance.
以上、本発明の実施例について説明を行ったが、これ以外にも様々な変更を行うことができる。例えば、イオン発生器5として格子状の電極のものを用いることもできるし、ファン6としてプロペラファンだけでなくシロッコファンを用いることも可能である。尚、上述の複数の実施の形態および上述の複数の変形例で説明した構成(発明特定事項)のうちの二以上の構成を組み合わせて新たな本発明のヘアドライヤが導かれることができることは、言うまでもない。
As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, various changes besides this can be made. For example, a grid electrode can be used as the ion generator 5, and a sirocco fan as well as a propeller fan can be used as the fan 6. In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that the hair dryer of a new this invention can be guide | induced by combining two or more structures among the structure (invention specific matter) demonstrated in the above-mentioned several embodiment and the above-mentioned several modification. Yes.
