With the rapid development of industry, air quality is facing serious pollution. In daily life, air purifiers attract more and more attention, and an important component of air purifiers is the negative ion generating device.
In the related art, the negative ion generating device uses a high-voltage direct current at the tip to generate high corona, and emits a large number of electrons at a high speed. However, the electrons cannot exist in the air for a long time (the existence life of electrons is only nanoseconds), and the electrons are immediately captured by oxygen molecules in the air, to generate negative air ions.
The negative air ions are combined with soot, dust and particles in the air. Due to the action of gravity, the electrostatically charged soot, dust and particles are settled, which can achieve the purpose of dust removal. Users live and work in an environment with abundant negative air ions, which has good effects, e.g.:
lung function improvement, after inhaling negative ions for 30 minutes, the amount of oxygen that can be absorbed by human lungs increasing by 20%, and carbon dioxide being excreted by 15% more;
myocardial function improvement, negative ions having obvious antihypertensive effect, being capable of improving myocardial function and increasing myocardial vitality;
sleep improvement, after the action of negative ions, it being capable of making people's spirits up, work efficiency improved, and it being also capable of improving sleep, with obvious sedative and hypnotic effects;
metabolism promotion, negative ions being capable of activating various enzymes in the body and promoting metabolism;
disease resistance enhancement, negative ions being capable of changing the body's reactivity, activating the function of the reticuloendothelial system, and enhancing the body's immunity; and
bactericidal function, negative ions easily adsorbing bacteria, causing structural changes and energy transfer, resulting in bacterial disease and death.
In the related art, the conductive fiber brush is used as the negative ion generating source, and the conductive fiber brush is easy to manufacture, has a long service life, can improve the negative ion generating efficiency, and can realize improved antibacterial and sterilizing functions by distributing particles within activated carbon fibers and applying voltage to them.
However, the closer it is to the source of negative ions, the higher the concentration of negative ions, and some of the negative ions will actively combine with air pollutants, causing the pollutants to be negatively charged to be condensed and settled or adsorbed on the conductive fiber brush, resulting in blocking of the conductive fiber brush to reduce its generation efficiency of negative ions, thereby reducing its use effect.
In the related art, the negative ion generating device uses a conductive fiber brush as the negative ion generating source, and the conductive fiber brush is easy to manufacture, has a long service life, can improve the negative ion generating efficiency, and has antibacterial and sterilizing functions.
