  • Patent number: 8072731
    Abstract: There is provided a static eliminator capable of improving a sheath effect exerted by shielding a leading end of a discharge electrode by a clean gas so as to prevent the leading end of the discharge electrode from being contaminated, in which a first-stage circumferential chamber, a second-stage circumferential chamber and a first gas pool are arrayed in series along the longitudinal direction of a discharge electrode, the first gas pool is disposed in the mode of diametrically overlapping a gas outflow channel for shielding located on the inner circumferential side of the first gas pool, and a clean gas is supplied to the first gas pool through the chambers disposed at multi-stages by means of the circumferentially spaced multi-stage orifices (the first and second chases).

  • Patent number: 7995321
    Abstract: An ionization device with increased rigidity of a coupling portion is provided. The ionization device includes a casing member for applying high voltage to each needle electrode; a coupling member for mechanically coupling a plurality of casing members in a longitudinal direction and electrically connecting high voltage plates of the respective casing members; and a elongated main body casing for housing a casing body constituted by coupling the plurality of casing members with the coupling member and the electrical circuit unit, the main body casing having the needle electrodes with a space from each other in the longitudinal direction and protruding outside. The main body casing integrally forms a space for arranging the casing body therein so as to be separated from a space for arranging the electrical circuit unit.

  • Patent number: 7324322
    Abstract: A static eliminator generates ions by applying positive and negative high voltages to a discharge electrode of a discharge head. The static eliminator includes a high voltage power supply unit including a high voltage power supply circuit and a high voltage cable for supplying a high voltage generated in the high voltage power supply unit to the discharge head. The discharge head includes a tubular insulator disposed surrounding the discharge electrode, and a tubular ground electrode placed on an outer periphery side of the insulator. Further, the discharge head includes an electrode holding part for supporting the discharge electrode with the discharge electrode piercing in a deep part of the tubular insulator.
