Abstract:
1. An anion generating device comprising: an outer housing having a bottom wall, an inclined top wall made of a heat conductive material, and a surrounding wall interconnecting said top and bottom walls and cooperating with said top and bottom walls to define an accommodating space, said top wall having opposite lower and upper ends, said outer housing further having a partition disposed fixedly and inclinedly in said accommodating space and having a lower end connected to said bottom wall, and an upper end disposed adjacent to said upper end of said top wall and connected to said surrounding wall such that said accommodating space is divided into a heat exchanging space, and a receiving space disposed under said partition, said surrounding wall being formed with an air inlet disposed adjacent to said lower end of said top wall and in spatial communication with said heat exchanging space, and an air outlet adjacent to said upper end of said top wall and in spatial communication with said heat exchanging space; a solar power collecting plate mounted on an outer surface of said top wall of said outer housing and adapted to convert solar power into electrical energy; a fan unit disposed in said heat exchanging space and including an anion generator including a generator body disposed in said receiving space in said outer housing, and a discharge electrode unit disposed in said heat exchanging space in said outer housing and between said air outlet in said fan housing and said air outlet in said surrounding wall of said outer housing, said anion generator being operable so as to generate a plurality of anions near said discharge electrode unit; and a power control unit disposed in said receiving space in said outer housing and connected electrically to said solar power collecting plate, said fan of said fan unit and said anion generator for supplying electrical power to each of said fan of said fan unit and said anion generator by means of electrical energy from said solar power collecting plate; whereby, the anions generated by said anion generator are impelled by air expelled by said fan of said fan unit to move outwardly of said outer housing via said air outlet in said surrounding wall of said outer housing.
