Description

  The present invention relates to a gas processing apparatus that raises the concentration of negative ions of a gas or removes germs, dust, odor components and the like in the gas by bringing a gas such as air into contact with the mist.

  In cities, the ratio of negative ions and positive ions in the air is usually said to be about the same, but by placing yourself in an environment where the concentration of negative ions is high, fatigue recovery effect, mental stability effect, blood purification effect, It is widely known that medical effects such as resistance enhancement effect and autonomic nerve adjustment effect can be obtained.

  Therefore, in order to artificially increase the concentration of negative ions, air is introduced into the processing chamber in which the mist atmosphere is formed, and the concentration of negative ions in the air is increased by bringing the air and mist into contact with each other. Has been known for a long time (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 8). More specifically, this type of device utilizes a phenomenon in which the concentration of ions in the air increases when water breaks up and breaks into fine water droplets (mist). This phenomenon has been known as an empirical fact that the place where water ruptures and mist occurs due to natural phenomena such as the waterfalls and the seaside shores is good for the body since ancient times, but theoretically at the beginning of this century Nobel physicist P.C. When Dr. Lenard collides with a metal plate and splits, ions are generated in the nearby air, and the sum of the charge amount of the split water drops is greater than the amount of electricity in the first water drop. It has come to be recognized as the so-called “Leonard effect”, which proves that the sum of the charges of the generated ions and the amount of electricity of the water droplets increased by the splitting are equal.

  On the other hand, by introducing outside air into the processing chamber that generated the mist atmosphere and bringing the outside air into contact with the mist, the mist captures and removes gas germs, dust, odor components, etc., and then removes the outside air outside the processing chamber. The discharge technology has also been known for a long time as a wet dust collector (for example, Patent Documents 9 to 15).

  As described above, by introducing the outside air into the processing chamber that generated the mist atmosphere and bringing the outside air and the mist into contact with each other, the concentration of the negative ions in the gas is increased or the components such as bacteria, dust, and odor are removed. A gas processing means for discharging the treated outside air to the outside of the processing chamber after performing the above is known.

  In the gas treatment apparatus described above, it is known that a large amount of anion is generated as the particle size of the scattered mist is reduced, and how much anion is generated with a limited capacity. Whether it can be realized is a technical issue.

  The gas treatment apparatus of the present invention was created in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and rotates in a treatment chamber in which outside air can be introduced by immersing a cylindrical body in which a screw is provided below in water. By pumping water upward from below in the cylinder, and passing this water while colliding with the cylindrical water sprinkling part through which water and air provided above the cylinder can pass By making the mist scattered further and colliding it with a cylindrical screen through which water and air can be passed, the anions can be crushed more finely. A mist atmosphere is formed.

In the present invention, water that is pumped upward from the bottom of the cylindrical body and splashes to the surroundings by the centrifugal force of the rotating cylindrical body collides with a water spraying portion that is formed of a cylindrical body through which water and air can pass. By passing through it, it is crushed into a mist and scattered. Examples of the structure of the watering part for this purpose are as follows.
(A) A cylinder with a large number of slits on the outer peripheral wall.
(B) A cylinder with a large number of pores on the outer peripheral wall.

Further, in the present invention, the mist scattered by the water sprinkling part is caused to pass through the mist by causing it to collide with a cylindrical screen through which water and air arranged around the water sprinkling part can pass. Crush finely to form a mist atmosphere containing anions. Examples of the screen structure for this purpose are shown below.
(A) A cylinder with a large number of slits on the outer peripheral wall.
(B) A cylinder with a large number of pores on the outer peripheral wall.
(C) The outer peripheral wall of the cylinder is constituted by a mesh body.

  As described above, in the present invention, several structures are assumed as the water spraying part for crushing and scattering water in the form of a mist, and the screen for finely crushing and scattering the mist from the watering part. According to their experiments, it has been confirmed that the water spray part and the screen (A) having a structure in which a large number of slits are provided on the outer peripheral wall have achieved good results in the effect of generating anions. .

  In the present invention, a cylindrical body having a screw in the lower part is immersed in water and rotated, thereby pumping water upward from the lower part in the cylinder. According to this means, for example, a thin film of water is sequentially formed along the outer periphery of the rotating body by immersing and rotating the lower part of the rotating body whose diameter increases upward in water. It is possible to pump a large amount of water as compared with a means for scattering the water (see Patent Document 8).

  However, if the water collides with the slits or pores of the cylindrical sprinkler that rotates with the cylindrical body and is intended to be scattered as mist, the amount and momentum of the water is too high and the scattered mist If the slits and pores are set finely in order to make the particle size of the water fine, water cannot pass through the outer peripheral wall of the sprinkling part well, and may collide with the inside of the wall surface and be bounced back.

  In this invention, by providing a cylindrical screen that rotates around the watering portion, the watering portion first pulverizes and scatters water into coarse mist, and then the screen crushed into finer mist and scatters. Let As a result, it is not necessary to attempt to make the mist particle size finer at the stage of the sprinkling part, so the size of the slits and pores can be set to such an extent that water can pass through the outer peripheral wall of the sprinkling part well. It becomes possible, and mist can be produced | generated using a lot of water compared with a prior art.

  As described above, according to the gas processing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to generate a large amount of mist with a limited capacity. Therefore, when increasing the concentration of negative ions in the gas, it is possible to reduce the size from the space of the machine part. Therefore, it is possible to realize a gas processing apparatus that is optimal for use in applications such as stored negative ion foods and negative ion saunas.
