INDUCTION ELECTRODE, ION GENERATING ELEMENT, ION GENERATING APPARATUS AND ELECTRICAL APPARATUS

摘要

An ion generating element (10) is provided with an induction electrode (1) and a plurality of discharge electrodes (2). The induction electrode (1) is made of one metal plate. The circumference portion of the through hole (1b) is bent, and the thickness (T1) of a wall portion of the through hole (1b) is larger than the plate thickness (T2) of a top plate portion (1a). A needle-like tip of the discharge electrode (2) is positioned within the range of the thickness (T1) of the through hole (1b). Thus, the induction electrode, the ion generating element, an ion generating apparatus and an electrical apparatus having a thinned structure with reduced ion generating quantity variance, which is caused by variance of positional relationship between the tip of the discharge electrode and the induction electrode, are provided.
