[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a sterilizing deodorizer for sterilization with ozone and for deodorization with anions, and, more particularly, to a high-performance deodorizer, which extremely restrains or prevents nitrogen oxide from being generated in sterilization, increases deodorizing capability by generating pure anions in deodorization with anions for deodorization and ensures safety from dangerous ozone.

[Background Art] A general charging-type anion generator has a charging body for getting negative current values formed at a high pressure, made of an aluminum plate and a copper plate. The copper plate and the aluminum plate take advantage of charge flow to crystal grains of nonmetals by means of charge movement depending on high voltage, wherein the copper plate produces a toxic corrosive material called cyanide, resulting from its reaction with moisture when the fine crystal grains spread into the air and the aluminum plate produces very toxic materials by means of albinism. There has been an attempt to coat the copper plate and the aluminum plate with platinum or solver, settling such disadvantages, but nitrogen oxide is still generated in charging although its amount is small.

Copper plate- There was an attempt to increase the amount of discharged anions by attaching a steel fiber on a charger tube in order to settle disadvantages of an anion generator made of aluminum plates, but a small amount of nitrogen oxide is generated in this case. As described above, such a conventional sterilizing deodorizer for deodorization by means of sterilization by ozone and deodorization by anion is dangerous because of ozone or the ozone simultaneously generated with anions, and anions of low purity have low deodorizing capability.

[Disclosure of Invention] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a high-performance sterilizing deodorizer for sterilization with ozone and for deodorization with anions, in which nitrogen oxide is extremely restrained or prevented from being generated, which increases deodorizing capability by means of generated pure anions in deodorization with deodorizing anions and ensures safety from dangerous ozone. The object of the invention as described above can be achieved by a high-performance deodorizer, in which a fiber yarn of steel fibers attached to a charger tube is coated with the mixture of powered nano- level Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline so that the outer end can be exposed to the atmosphere, in order to increase the amount of generated pure anions in charging and thereby to enhance the deodorizing capability. The outer circumference of a charger tube for generating ozone is coated with the mixture of powdered ceramics, Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline. Then the coating is sintered to form a sintered film on the outer circumference in order to stabilize generation of ozone while extremely restraining nitrogen oxide from being generated, to implement enhanced sterilizing capability and deodorizing capability by so-called maximized radical generation.

[Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to Fig.l, a front case member 10 is provided with spread holes 11 for spreading ozone or anions into the atmosphere from the top to the bottom, LEDs 12a to 12c for indicating room areas in Large, Medium and Small, selected in sterilizing or purifying room air, an ozone on/off switch 13 for generating ozone, an anion on/off switch 14 for generating anions, a LED 15 for the ozone on/off switch 13 above the switch 13 and a LED 16 for the anion on/off switch 14 above the switch 14. Referring to Fig.2, a rear case member 20 is provided with an air inlet 21 for introducing air required for preventing an ozone generator from being overheated or for spreading anions into the atmosphere when generating ozone or anions. On the internal side of the air inlet 21, a prefiler 22 is equipped to filter and collect fine dust bigger than 150 μm that may be introduced with the incoming air. In addition, the rear case member 20 is provided with a power cord not shown in the figure, which power cord is electrically connected to an ozone generator, a spread fan and a high pressure generator, which will be described hereinbelow, the ozone on/off switch 13 and the anion on/off switch 14, described above. Referring to Fig.3, the inside of the front case member 10 is provided with an ozone generator 30 toward the spread holes 11, and the spread fan 40 is provided at the rear of the ozone generator 30. The ozone generator 30 is provided to be encompassed by a fan casing 41 of the spread fan 40. Encompassment of the ozone generator 30 by the fan casing 41 is intended to prevent the ozone staying in the casing from contacting the equipped controller and other parts to prevent oxidization thereof and to allow the ozone generated in the ozone generator 30 to be intensively released through the spread holes 11, thereby causing a spread range of the ozone wind to be widened. On the lower part of the ozone generator 30, a high pressure generator 50 for generating anions is equipped. The internal side of the anion generator 51 is connected to the charger tube of the high pressure generator 50, and the fan casing 41 passes through the external side of the anion generator 51 to achieve contact normally to the air, so that anions generated by the high pressure generator 50 can spread into a room through the spread holes 11. Referring to Fig.4, a sintered film 32 is formed on the outside of a charger tube 31 for the ozone generator 30. The sintered film 32 is made by mixing and agitating powdered ceramics, Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline in a proper ratio, then coating the surface with the mixture in a given thickness and sintering the coating at a high temperature higher than 500 °C . The key reason of applying ceramics is to use far infrared rays. The Kiyoseki stone is applied to use its property that it discharges far infrared rays and generates anions, 10 times more than those by tourmaline. Tourmaline (electric stone) is a porous mineral that, for itself, continues to flow electrons permanently in a natural state, as compared to minerals that exist on the earth. When tourmaline crystals are pressured from the outside, charges are generated on the crystal surface. The electricity is called Piezoelectricity (Pyroelectricity), meaning the electricity generated when tourmaline is heated. Although it is crushed into extremely small pieces, it has anode and cathode on both ends of its crystal by itself. Since this property is permanent, it generates electricity whatever times the electricity is discharged. The name, electric stone, is based on the fact that a weak current of 0.06 iA flows when the anode of tourmaline is connected to the cathode thereof with a wire. This current is similar to the weak current generated when nutrition is supplied in plants or animal cells for their growing. The present invention is to increase the survival capability of anions, using the property that electricity is generated when tourmaline is heated. The sintered film 32 made by the process that the mixture of Kiyoseki powder and tourmaline powder having such a property is coated and then sintered stabilizes the amount of generated ozone while extremely restraining nitrogen oxide from being generated and maximizing the amount of generated radical, to exhibit powerful sterilizing and deodorizing capability, depending on the combined action of weak current and anions. Referring to Fig.5, the anion generator 51 is a steel fiber. In particular, the fiber yarn 52 that is a main component of a steel fiber together with a metal filament is made by vacuum depositing a film 53 made of nano- level Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline. While the film 53 made of the mixture of Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline generates enough pure anions and far infrared rays as high pressure is formed in the high pressure generator 50, it extremely restrains ozone from being generated, thereby ensuring safety from dangerous ozone while bad smell molecules are eliminated in the air by anions. In case of a suspension of power supply, the weak current (although it is weak) from tourmaline continues to generate anions with the aid of far infrared rays to perform deodorization. Such a sterilizing deodorizer according to the invention can purify room air by user's pressing either the ozone on/off switch 13 or the anion on/off switch 14 to select sterilizing deodorization or only deodorization, while the power cord, not shown, is connected to an external power supply such as a wall outlet. As described above, in the high-performance sterilizing deodorizer, a sintered film on a charger tube surface of an ozone generator is made by coating the surface with a mixture of powdered ceramics, Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline and then sintering the coating. In charging, the sintered film can stabilize the amount of generated ozone and extremely restrain nitrogen oxide from being generated and maximize generation of radical. Therefore, the deodorizer according to the invention can achieve powerful sterilization against germs in the air and powerful deodorization against bad smell molecules to make a pleasant room atmosphere. With the anion generator having fiber yarns coated with the mixture of nono-level Kiyoseki stone and tourmaline, quantitatively enough anions and far infrared rays can be generated. Ozone generation is also extremely restrained. Therefore, the deodorizer according to the invention ensures safety against dangerous ozone while efficient deodorization of room air by anions significantly contributes to improve pleasant room air. The present invention has been described in detail. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
