1. An electrification apparatus for dust collection, comprising:
an electrification module configured to generate an ion that is emitted to air, wherein the electrification module comprises:
at least one discharge tip configured to emit the ion in a direction opposite to a flow direction of the air;
at least one tip holder supporting the discharge tip;
a conductive plate configured to generate a potential difference with the discharge tip; and
a frame that defines an appearance of the electrification module and that supports the tip holder and the conductive plate,
wherein the frame comprises an upper frame disposed at an upper side of the conductive plate and a lower frame disposed at a lower side of the conductive plate,
wherein the tip holder is disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame,
wherein an upper surface of the tip holder is coupled to the upper frame and a lower surface of the tip holder is coupled to the lower frame, and
wherein the upper surface of the tip holder is detachably coupled to the upper frame, and the lower surface of the tip holder is detachably coupled to the lower frame.
