Abstract
In an ion generator, a flexible discharge electrodecomposed of one wire is provided to a base, and a turning motion of a free endof the discharge electrodeabout a fixed endof the discharge electrodeis performed by repulsive force of a corona discharge generated by supplying a high voltage to the fixed end. Therefore, in comparison with a discharge electrode composed of a bundle of thin wires, it is possible to significantly reduce dust emission from the free endof the discharge electrode, and to further improve the ion generatorin maintenance interval. Since the discharge electrodeis compose of one wire, it is possible to reduce the discharge electrodein size, easily observe the state of the discharge electrode, and simplify its maintenance. Since the discharge electrodeperforms a turning motion, it is possible to transport the generated air ions EI to a wide area of a packaging film, and to enhance ionizing efficiency.
