Dust collector
A dust collector includes a charging part ( 12 ) for charging dust with electricity and a dust collecting part ( 30 ). Each of a dust collecting electrode ( 40 ) and a high-voltage electrode ( 50 ) that constitute the dust collecting part ( 30 ) includes: a base ( 41, 51 ) with a rectangular grid structure having a large number of vent holes ( 46, 56 ) formed therein; and projections ( 42, 52 ) extending into the vent holes ( 56, 46 ) of the opposed electrode ( 50, 40 ).
