Abstract
An ion generation apparatus includes an opposing electrode, a discharge electrode for generating ions between itself and the opposing electrode, and a slider constructed to be movable between a contact state in which contact with the discharge electrode is established and a non-contact state in which contact is not established in order to clean the discharge electrode. Thus, an ion generation apparatus and electric equipment capable of preventing lowering in ion generation efficiency even in an environment where there is much dust can be obtained.
Claims16
An ion generation apparatus, comprising:
- a discharge electrode for generating ions;
- and
- a cleaning member constructed to be movable between a contact state in which contact with said discharge electrode is established for cleaning said discharge electrode and a non-contact state in which contact with said discharge electrode is not established.
