Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain stable discharge characteristics for a long term without requiring periodic cleaning operation by applying vibration of an ultrasonic vibrator to a corona discharge wire or a grid wire, and actuating said vibrator till deviation between the discharge current value of the corona discharge wire and a stored predetermined value becomes to a prescribed value or lower. CONSTITUTION:Corona discharge is generated from a corona discharge wire 14 by applying high voltage to this corona discharge wire 14, and a current detector 22 fixed to a mobile member 23 is driven with pulleys 25, 25 and a wire 24, and moved from one end of the corona discharge wire 14 to the other end in the corona discharge and stopped there. When the difference between the max. and the min. values of the discharge current obtained in the course of this movement reaches a set value of ¦K¦ or more, high voltage application to the wire 14 is intercepted, an oscillation circuit 18 is actuated to vibrate the wire 14 by the extension and contraction movement of an ultrasonic vibrator 12 and foreign matters attaching to the wire 14 are separated and the wire 14 is cleaned of stains. After the lapse of a prescribed time, a motor 16 is reversly driven, and high voltage application is again started, and this action is repeated to control said difference value to the set value ¦K¦ or less.
