PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vortex ring generator for local air-conditioning capable of making an air vortex ring reach a far target with a distance of 10 m or more and feeling wind pressure.SOLUTION: An air vortex ring generator includes: an opening nozzle configured to generate an air vortex ring; a body including an inner chamber in which the opening nozzle is arranged its tip part and air to be discharged is stored therein; and a compression unit configured to compress the inner chamber to a rear end part of the body and push out air from the opening nozzle. The compression unit is a cylindrical body; an outer peripheral part is formed in such a bellows manner as to expand/contract in an axial direction; a rear end surface is sealed by a backing plate; the vortex ring is jetted out with a driving unit configured to drive a struck plate with telescopic operation of a main spring, the struck plate colliding with the backing plate and pushed in; and the vortex ring has a faster propagation speed and can arrive to a long distance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】空気の渦輪を、距離10m以上離れたより遠くの目標物に到達させて、風圧を感じさせる局所的な空調用の渦輪発生装置を提供する。【解決手段】空気の渦輪を発生させる開口ノズルと、開口ノズルを先端部に配置し排出する空気を内部に蓄える内室を備えた本体と、本体の後端部に内室を圧縮し開口ノズルより空気を押し出す圧縮部とを備えた空気渦輪発生装置において、圧縮部は筒状体であり、外周部は軸方向に伸縮する蛇腹で構成され、後端面は受板で封止されるとともに、受板に衝突させ押し込む打板を主バネの伸縮動作で駆動する駆動部を有して渦輪を噴出し、進行速度が速くて長距離まで到達することが可能な空気渦輪発生装置。【選択図】図1
