Abstract
Provided is a compact ion generator. A control substrate () and an ion generating section () are provided concentrically around a motor () without overlapping each other, which motor () is configured to cause a fan () to rotate. The fan () is configured to send, more outwards than a radial direction, air sucked in from a side of a first direction which is along a rotational axis direction. A fan cover () has (i) a first air flow path () configured to guide, in the radial direction, the air sent by the fan () and (ii) a second air flow path () configured to cause the air, which has been guided by the first air flow path () to flow in the radial direction, to be sent towards the side of the first direction. The ion generating section () constitutes a part of a wall of the first air flow path ().
