Abstract

A filter that includes a plurality of fibers arranged to form a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface, and a plurality of first piezoelectric fibers that generate negative charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the first principal surface.

Claims (31)

1. A filter comprising:

a plurality of fibers arranged to form a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface;

of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of first piezoelectric fibers that generate negative charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the first principal surface; and

a holding member, and wherein the plurality of first piezoelectric fibers are fixed to the holding member in a tensioned state.

2. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein the filter is a fabric having warps and wefts made of the plurality of first piezoelectric fibers, and the warps and the wefts are fixed to the holding member.

3. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein, of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of second piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface.

4. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein, of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of second piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface, and a plurality of third piezoelectric fibers that generate negative charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface.

5. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein, of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of second piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the first principal surface, and a plurality of third piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface.

6. The filter according to claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate layer between the first principal surface and the second principal surface, wherein, of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of second piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface, and a plurality of third piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching and a plurality of fourth piezoelectric fibers that generate negative charges by stretching are arranged in the intermediate layer.

7. The filter according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fibers include a cloth that does not include piezoelectric fibers, and a ratio of the cloth to the plurality of first piezoelectric fibers is 2:8 to 8:2.

8. An air-conditioning device comprising:

an inlet port;

an exhaust port;

a communicating passage between the inlet port and the exhaust port; and

a filter according to claim 1 arranged in the communicating passage, the filter comprising:

a plurality of fibers arranged to form a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface; and

of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of first piezoelectric fibers that generate negative charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the first principal surface.

9. A filter comprising:

a plurality of fibers arranged to form a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface;

of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of first piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface; and

a holding member, and wherein the first piezoelectric fibers are fixed to the holding member in a tensioned state.

10. The filter according to claim 9 , wherein the filter is a fabric having warps and wefts made of the plurality of first piezoelectric fibers, and the warps and the wefts are fixed to the holding member.

11. The filter according to claim 9 , wherein, of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of second piezoelectric fibers that generate negative charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface.

12. The filter according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of fibers include a cloth that does not include piezoelectric fibers, and a ratio of the cloth to the plurality of first piezoelectric fibers is 2:8 to 8:2.

13. An air-conditioning device comprising:

an inlet port;

an exhaust port;

a communicating passage between the inlet port and the exhaust port; and

a filter arranged in the communicating passage, the filter comprising:

a plurality of fibers arranged to form a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite the first principal surface; and

of the plurality of fibers, a plurality of first piezoelectric fibers that generate positive charges by stretching are arranged at least on a side of the second principal surface.
