The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention will be described below with accompanying drawings. However, the attached drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not used to limit the present invention.

The present invention provides a negative ion generator. Since negative oxygen ions have the functions of producing active oxygen, improving lung function, promoting metabolism, enhancing disease resistance, improving sleep, and sterilizing, and negative ions can enhance the moisture retention of hair, relieve high and low blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases, it is suitable for substrates such as human skin, human hair or clothing.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 9. The negative ion generator of the present invention is applied to the aforementioned substrate (not shown in the figure), which includes: a housing 1, a power supply component 2 and a first low-conductivity component 4.

As shown in Figures 1 and 8, the housing 1 can be a one-piece type (not shown in the figure) or a combined type as shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the combined type is used as an example for explanation.

The outer shell 1 is long and has a long side and a short side. The outer shell 1 includes a first cover 11 and a second cover 12. The top of the first cover 11 forms a carrier 13.

In addition, the first cover 11 has a first opening 111 corresponding to the long side, the second cover 12 has a second opening 121, and the carrier 13 has a fourth opening 132. The carrier 13 is used to carry objects, and the first and second covers 11 and 12 are relatively covered on two opposite sides of the carrier 13 to form a complete housing 1.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3 and Figures 6 to 8, the first low-conductivity component 4 includes a pair of first low-conductivity materials 41 and a first conductive sheet 42 sandwiched between the pair of first low-conductivity materials 41. The outer peripheral size of each first low-conductivity material 41 protrudes from the outer peripheral size of the first conductive sheet 42 by about 1.0 mm to 1.2 mm, but is not limited, so that the outer peripheral size of each first low-conductivity material 41 is larger than the outer peripheral size of the first conductive sheet 42 and completely hides the first conductive sheet 42. The first low-conductivity material 41 is a ceramic sheet or a glass sheet, and the first conductive sheet 42 is a copper foil. The following description is based on the example that the first low-conductivity material 41 is a ceramic sheet.

The first low-conductivity component 4 is disposed on the housing 1 corresponding to the first opening 111, and is exposed through the first opening 111, so as to be adjacent to the aforementioned object (the adjacent referred to here includes: close to or in contact with). Specifically, as shown in Figures 1, 6 to 8, the carrier 13 is provided with a breach (see Figure 1, without indicating the component symbol), and a first base 134 (see Figure 6) is disposed and connected to the breach, and the first base 134 has a first recess 1341, and the first low-conductivity component 4 is disposed and positioned in the first recess 1341, so as to expose the first low-conductivity component 4 at the first opening 111 through the breach.

In addition, the thickness of one of the first low-conductivity materials 41 (about 0.635mm, but not limited) is greater than the thickness of the other first low-conductivity material 41 (about 0.38mm, but not limited), and the first low-conductivity material 41 with a larger thickness (about 0.635mm, but not limited) is provided with a first through hole 411 exposing the first conductive sheet 42, and the first through hole 411 has a distance of about 2mm from the left side of the first low-conductivity component 4, and the diameter of the first through hole 411 is about 4mm, but not limited.

Furthermore, the length of the first low-conductivity component 4 is between about 58.9 mm and 59.15 mm, but not limited thereto, and the width of the first low-conductivity component 4 is between about 9.9 mm and 10.15 mm, but not limited thereto.

As shown in Figures 1 and 8, the power supply component 2 is disposed in the housing 1 and electrically connected to the first low-conductivity component 4 through the first through hole 411, so that the first low-conductivity component 4 is turned on. Since the ceramic sheet is a low-conductivity component material, the power supply component 2 must be a high voltage to turn on the first low-conductivity component 4. In this embodiment, the voltage between 5900 and 10000 volts is used as an example for explanation, and 6000 volts is preferred.

As shown in Figures 1 and 8, the negative ion generator of the present invention preferably also includes a circuit board 3. The power supply component 2 can be a type that uses a power cord to connect to the mains, or a type that uses a battery. In this embodiment, a rechargeable battery 21 and a high-voltage module 22 are used as an example for explanation.

The circuit board 3 is disposed on the carrier 13, the rechargeable battery 21 is electrically connected to the circuit board 3, and the high-voltage module 22 is electrically connected between the circuit board 3 and the first low-conductivity component 4, so that the direct current of the rechargeable battery 21 is boosted through the high-voltage module 22, thereby conducting the first low-conductivity component 4.

As shown in FIG8 , the user only needs to control the power supply component 2 to supply power and turn on the first low-conductivity component 4, so that the first low-conductivity component 4 can generate static electricity by being adjacent to the object (the adjacent here includes: close to or in contact), and the static electricity reacts with the oxygen in the nearby air to generate negative oxygen ions, and the negative oxygen ions can act on the object near the first low-conductivity component 4 (for example, activating the epidermal cells of human skin, activating the cells of human hair, or sterilizing, disinfecting, deodorizing and decomposing dirt on clothes...etc.).

The circuit board 3 is electrically equipped with a TYPE-C connector 31 corresponding to the fourth opening 132, a smart key switch 32 installed inside the housing 1, and at least one light-emitting element 33 corresponding to 121. By connecting the transmission line to a power source (for example: a TYPE-C connector socket of various electronic devices) through the TYPE-C connector 31 (which can be a Micro TYPE-C connector, but not limited), the rechargeable battery 21 (which can be a lithium battery, but not limited) can be charged. The smart key switch 32 is used to switch the power supply assembly 2 to start (ON) or shut down (OFF) and adjust the gear. The light-emitting element 33 can display the status of the rechargeable battery 21 through the housing 1, such as charging status, fully charged status, low battery status, etc.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 to FIG. 8 , the negative ion generator of the present invention may further include a second low-conductivity component 5, the second low-conductivity component 5 includes a pair of second low-conductivity materials 51 and a second conductive sheet 52 sandwiched between the pair of second low-conductivity materials 51, the outer peripheral size of each second low-conductivity material 51 protrudes from the outer peripheral size of the second conductive sheet 52 by about 1.0 mm to 1.2 mm, but not limited, so that the outer peripheral size of each second low-conductivity material 51 is larger than the outer peripheral size of the second conductive sheet 52 and completely hides the second conductive sheet 52, the second low-conductivity material 51 is a ceramic sheet or a glass sheet, and the second conductive sheet 52 is a copper foil.

In addition, the thickness of one second low-conductivity material 51 (about 0.635mm, but not limited) is greater than the thickness of the other second low-conductivity material 51 (about 0.38mm, but not limited), and the second low-conductivity material 51 with a larger thickness (about 0.635mm, but not limited) is provided with a second through hole 511 exposing the second conductive sheet 52, and the second through hole 511 and the left side of the second low-conductivity component 5 have a distance of about 6.5mm, and the diameter of the second through hole 511 is about 3mm, but not limited, the power supply component 2 is electrically connected to the second conductive sheet 52 through the second through hole 511, and the high-voltage module 22 is also electrically connected between the circuit board 3 and the second low-conductivity component 5.

Furthermore, the length of the second low-conductivity component 5 is between about 15.9 mm and 16.15 mm, but not limited thereto, and the width of the second low-conductivity component 5 is between about 5.9 mm and 6.15 mm, but not limited thereto.

Among them, the user can freely choose to use the first or second low-conductivity component 4, 5. The area of the second low-conductivity component 5 is smaller than that of the first low-conductivity component 4, so as to be used for a small area portion of the object. As shown in Figures 1, 6 to 8, the carrier 13 is also provided with a third opening 131 corresponding to the short side (see Figure 1), and the carrier 13 is provided with and connected to a second base 135 (see Figure 6) corresponding to the third opening 131. The second base 135 has a second recessed chamber 1351, and the second low-conductivity component 5 is provided and positioned in the second recessed chamber 1351, so that the second low-conductivity component 5 is exposed at the third opening 131.

As shown in Figures 1, 6 to 8, in order to stably position the first and second low-conductivity components 4 and 5, the negative ion generator of the present invention preferably also includes a crimping structure 6.

The crimping structure 6 includes a crimping plate 61, two extension arms 63 extending from one end of the crimping plate 61 away from the end, and two crimping blocks 62 connected to the two extension arms 63. The crimping plate 61 has a plurality of through holes 611 and can crimp the first low-conductivity component 4 into the first recess 1341 for positioning, and the two crimping blocks 62 crimp the second low-conductivity component 5 into the second recess 1351 for positioning.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 , in order to display the state of the rechargeable battery 21 on the housing 1 , the negative ion generator of the present invention preferably further includes a light guide 7 . The light guide 7 is arranged between the second opening 121 and the light-emitting element 33 , so that the light energy of the light-emitting element 33 is guided by the light guide 7 to emit light at the second opening 121 of the second cover 12 .

As shown in the circuit block diagram of the present invention in FIG9 , during charging, the rechargeable battery is charged through a charging protection circuit. During use, the smart key switch 32 is used to start the mode, so that the DC power of the rechargeable battery is transmitted to a buck-boost circuit and a boost circuit respectively. The buck-boost circuit can boost and buck the voltage of the rechargeable battery to provide a stable power supply to a control circuit; the boost circuit first boosts the voltage of the rechargeable battery to DC (direct current) 12-24 volts, and then provides it to the low-conductivity component (the first low-conductivity component 4 or the second low-conductivity component 5) through a high-voltage circuit. In this way, the high voltage is isolated through the pores of the low-conductivity component, so the low-conductivity component can be close to the substrate (including close or in contact. If it is close, it is better to keep a distance of 1-2mm) to produce an electrostatic effect. The pores of the low-conductivity component and the substrate generate jumping sparks to ionize the oxygen near the substrate, thereby generating ozone with a concentration of about 0.0475PPM, and the negative oxygen ions in contact with the substrate are about 80,000-100,000 cubic centimeters.

In addition, an isolation circuit in Figure 7 is used to isolate the control circuit from the high-voltage circuit, thereby preventing the control circuit from malfunctioning. As for the high-voltage circuit, it is used to effectively control the low voltage of the boost circuit to a high voltage of 5900-10000 volts.

In addition, when the TYPE-C connector is plugged in, the control circuit will automatically switch to the charging state and stop the negative ion generator from working; when the TYPE-C connector is unplugged, the negative ion generator will be in standby state and can be started and worked at any time.

In summary, the present invention has the following effects compared to the prior art: it can use direct current to conduct low-conductivity components (such as the first low-conductivity component 4 or/and the second low-conductivity component 5), and use the low-conductivity components that have been conducted to be adjacent to the substrate to generate static electricity, and the static electricity reacts with oxygen in the nearby air to generate negative oxygen ions. Therefore, the negative ion generator of the present invention has the effects of small size, easy hand-held and high safety. In addition, because direct current is used, the rechargeable battery 21 can be used to power the low-conductivity components, which is also one of the reasons for the small size and easy hand-held and portable.

In addition, the present invention has other functions: the voltage of the rechargeable battery 21 is increased to DC (direct current) 12-24 volts by the high voltage module 22, thereby conducting the first low-conductivity component 4 and/or the second low-conductivity component 5. The first low-conductivity component 4 and/or the second low-conductivity component 5 are positioned between the crimping structure 6 and the housing 1 by the crimping structure 6. The TYPE-C connector 31 can be used to charge through various electronic products or a mains socket, thus achieving a convenient charging effect.

Furthermore, the first conductive sheet 42 of the first low-conductive component 4 is sandwiched between the pair of first low-conductive materials 41, and the second conductive sheet 52 of the second low-conductive component 5 is sandwiched between the pair of second low-conductive materials 51. The power supply component 2 is electrically connected to the first conductive sheet 42 through the first through hole 411 to achieve stable and uniform electrical conduction with the first low-conductive material 41, and the power supply component 2 is electrically connected to the second conductive sheet 52 through the second through hole 511 to achieve stable and uniform electrical conduction with the second low-conductive material 51.

In summary, the negative ion generator of this invention has never been seen in similar products and has never been used publicly. It is industrially applicable, novel and progressive, and fully meets the requirements for patent application. Therefore, an application is filed in accordance with the Patent Law to protect the rights of the inventor.
