Abstract:
A static electricity removal apparatus comprising:at least one discharge electrode assembly including a plurality of needle-shaped electrodes aligned with each other, the plurality of needle-shaped electrodes adapted to receive a high-frequency high voltage AC voltage and to generate ions using a corona discharge; a ground electrode spaced apart from the at least one discharge electrode assembly by a certain interval, the ground electrode adapted to facilitate ion generation by the plurality of needle-shaped electrodes; a high-frequency high voltage generation unit having a frequency of 17kHz and a maximum voltage of 7000 volts directly connected to the at least one discharge electrode assembly, the voltage generation unit adapted to generate the high-frequency high voltage AC voltage outputted to the plurality of needle-shaped electrodes; and an ion blower adapted to blow ions from the plurality of needle-shaped electrodes to an object requiring static electricity removal.
