ART ANTERIEUR PRIOR ART
Des diffuseurs d'odeur encore appelés diffuseurs de parfum sont connus comme l'illustrent par exemple le document WO 9004339, le document EP 2 739 321 ou le document US2010/017597. Tous ces diffuseurs se caractérisent par leur complexité, en particulier leur grand nombre de pièces, entraînant un temps de montage important. En outre, il est connu que le substrat, dans le cas d'une présentation simple, par exemple sous forme de plaque, tend à se déformer au cours par exemple de la désorption de la composition ou substrat odorante. Or les solutions proposées aujourd'hui ne tiennent pas compte de cette déformation du substrat dans le temps, cette déformation pouvant avoir une incidence sur la qualité de la diffusion. Odor diffusers also known as perfume diffusers are known as illustrated for example by the document WO 9004339, the document EP 2 739 321 or the document US2010 / 017597. All these diffusers are characterized by their complexity, in particular their large number of parts, resulting in an important assembly time. In addition, it is known that the substrate, in the case of a simple presentation, for example in the form of a plate, tends to deform during, for example, the desorption of the odorant composition or substrate. But the solutions proposed today do not take into account this deformation of the substrate over time, this deformation may have an impact on the quality of the diffusion.

Les ouvertures 62 traversantes de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6 sont de forme hexagonale. Ces ouvertures 62 s'étendent entre les parties 5 ajourées à l'état inséré du substrat 6 dans le boîtier 2. Dans l'exemple représenté, le substrat 6 est une plaque en polymère. Ce polymère est un élastomère thermoplastique, en particulier un polyéther bloc amide (PEBA). A titre d'exemple, les polymères de la marque PEBAX (marque déposée) sont tout à fait adaptés pour une telle utilisation. Such an odor diffuser 1 comprises a housing 2 with perforated parts, a substrate 6 housed inside the housing 2 and in which is adsorbed or absorbed a substance or odorous composition, and means 7 for holding the substrate 6 inside the housing 2. The housing 2, shown here quadrangular, comprises a bottom 3 and a cover 4 assembled to each other, preferably by snapping. Generally, the bottom 3 and the lid 4 are made of synthetic material. Bottom 3 includes a part 5 openwork as well as the cover 4. Each time, the openings are formed by through openings. The perforated parts of the bottom 3 and the cover 4 are arranged facing each other in the closed state of the casing 2 to facilitate air circulation through the casing 2. These perforated parts form here to each time a circular surface with at least a portion of the openings disposed in radiating arrangement within said surface. The substrate 6 is in turn in the form of a plate 61 provided with through openings 62. The through openings 62 of the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6 are of hexagonal shape. These openings 62 extend between the inserted perforated portions of the substrate 6 in the housing 2. In the example shown, the substrate 6 is a polymer plate. This polymer is a thermoplastic elastomer, in particular a polyether amide block (PEBA). By way of example, the polymers of the trade mark PEBAX (registered trademark) are entirely suitable for such use.
Une composition ou substance odorante est adsorbée sur la plaque. Cette adsorption a été, dans l'exemple représentée, réalisée par trempage de la plaque dans un bain de substance ou composition odorante. A composition or odoriferous substance is adsorbed on the plate. This adsorption was, in the example shown, carried out by dipping the plate in a bath of substance or odorous composition.
Une telle préparation du substrat est bien connue à ceux versés dans cet art. Le substrat aurait également pu être réalisé par absorption de la composition ou substance odorante sur la plaque. Such substrate preparation is well known to those skilled in the art. The substrate could also have been achieved by absorption of the composition or odorous substance on the plate.
Le diffuseur 1 d'odeur comprend encore des moyens 7 de maintien du substrat à l'intérieur du boîtier 2. Ces moyens 7 de maintien tendent à éviter que le substrat 6 se déplace librement à l'intérieur du boîtier 2 pendant toute sa phase de désorption. En effet, au cours de sa phase de désorption, le substrat 6 est amené à perdre 15 à 20 % de son volume, entraînant alors une déformation de ce substrat 6. Les moyens 7 de maintien comprennent des premiers moyens de maintien réalisés d'une seule pièce avec le boîtier et, représentés en 71 1 et 712 aux figures, et des deuxièmes moyens de maintien réalisés d'une seule pièce avec le substrat 6 et, représentés en 721 et 722 aux figures. Ces premiers et deuxièmes moyens de maintien sont destinés à coopérer entre eux à l'état inséré du substrat 6 à l'intérieur du boîtier, en position fermée du boîtier 2. The odor diffuser 1 further comprises means 7 for holding the substrate inside the casing 2. These holding means 7 tend to prevent the substrate 6 from moving freely inside the casing 2 during its whole phase of deposition. desorption. Indeed, during its desorption phase, the substrate 6 is caused to lose 15 to 20% of its volume, thereby causing deformation of this substrate 6. The holding means 7 comprise first holding means made of a only part with the housing and, shown in 71 1 and 712 in the figures, and second holding means made in one piece with the substrate 6 and, represented in 721 and 722 in the figures. These first and second holding means are intended to cooperate with each other in the inserted state of the substrate 6 inside the housing, in the closed position of the housing 2.
Dans les exemples représentés, les moyens 7 de maintien du substrat à l'intérieur du boîtier sont configurés pour délimiter deux zones 8, 9 de maintien du substrat 6 à l'intérieur du boîtier 2. En particulier, dans l'exemple représenté, l'une des zones 8, 9 de maintien, dite première zone 8 de maintien, est disposée en partie centrale de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6, et l'autre des zones 8, 9 de maintien, dite deuxième zone 9 de maintien, est disposée en périphérie de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6. Bien évidemment, le nombre de zones de maintien peut être augmenté sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. In the examples shown, the means 7 for holding the substrate inside the housing are configured to delimit two zones 8, 9 for holding the substrate 6 inside the housing 2. In particular, in the example shown, the one of the holding zones 8, 9, called the first holding zone 8, is disposed in the central part of the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6, and the other of the holding zones 8, 9, called the second holding zone 9, is disposed peripherally of the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6. Of course, the number of holding zones can be increased without departing from the scope of the invention.
Dans l'exemple représenté, dans la première zone 8 de maintien, les premiers moyens 71 1 de maintien affectent la forme d'un plot ou téton en saillie de la partie 5 ajourée du fond 3 du boîtier 2 et les deuxièmes moyens 721 de maintien sont formés par l'une des ouvertures 62 traversantes de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6, cette ouverture 62 traversante étant ménagée en partie centrale de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6. In the example shown, in the first holding zone 8, the first holding means 71 1 affect the shape of a stud or stud protruding from the perforated part of the bottom 3 of the casing 2 and the second holding means 721. are formed by one of the through openings 62 of the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6, this through opening 62 being formed in the central portion of the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6.
Dans la deuxième zone 9 de maintien, les premiers moyens 712 de maintien affectent la forme d'un tenon en saillie de la partie 5 ajourée du fond 3 du boîtier 2 et les deuxièmes moyens 722 de maintien sont formés par l'une des ouvertures 62 traversantes de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6, cette ouverture 62 traversante étant ménagée en partie périphérique de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6 pour constituer une encoche à l'intérieur de laquelle le tenon est apte à s'insérer au moins partiellement. Cette encoche est ouverte en direction de la tranche ou chant de la plaque constitutive du substrat, c'est- à-dire en direction de la partie de la plaque reliant les faces de la plaque entre elles. En effet, généralement, au moins une partie des premiers moyens 71 1 , 712 de maintien comprend un élément en saillie de la partie 5 ajourée du fond 3 ou du couvercle 4 du boîtier 1 et au moins une partie des deuxièmes moyens 721 , 722 de maintien est formée par l'une des ouvertures 62 traversantes de la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6. In the second holding zone 9, the first holding means 712 affect the shape of a projecting lug of the perforated portion of the bottom 3 of the casing 2 and the second holding means 722 are formed by one of the openings 62. through the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6, 62 through opening being formed in the peripheral portion of the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6 to form a notch within which the pin is adapted to be inserted at least partially. This notch is open in the direction of the edge or edge of the constituent plate of the substrate, that is to say in the direction of the portion of the plate connecting the faces of the plate between them. Indeed, generally, at least a portion of the first holding means 71 1, 712 comprises an element projecting from the perforated portion of the bottom 3 or the cover 4 of the housing 1 and at least a part of the second means 721, 722 is formed by one of the openings 62 through the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6.
Pour gagner du temps au montage, dans l'exemple représenté, une partie 722 des deuxièmes moyens 721 , 722 de maintien est présente au moins en double, c'est-à-dire en au moins deux exemplaires sur le substrat 6, chaque exemplaire étant apte à coopérer sélectivement avec au moins une partie des premiers moyens 71 1 , 712 de maintien. En effet, la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6 comprend deux encoches disposées sur deux bords opposés de la plaque, Cette plaque est ainsi une plaque réversible qui peut reposer contre le fond du boîtier par l'une ou l'autre de ses faces et peut être insérée dans le boîtier dans une première position angulaire ou dans une deuxième position angulaire décalée de 180° par rapport à la première position angulaire. Pour parfaire l'ensemble, le diffuseur d'odeur peut comprendre un moyen 10 d'identification logé à l'intérieur du boîtier 2. Ce moyen 10 d'identification peut par exemple être formé par une étiquette d'identification par radiofréquence (RFID), cette étiquette comprenant une puce RFID et une antenne. Ce moyen d'identification permet une communication par liaison sans fil avec une unité déportée qui peut être intégrée au dispositif 20 de diffusion associé au diffuseur. Grâce à ce moyen d'identification, il peut être possible de contrôler la durée et/ou la fréquence d'utilisation du diffuseur d'odeur pour permettre son remplacement en temps utile. Le procédé de montage du diffuseur d'odeur, tel que décrit ci-dessus, est extrêmement simple. Il suffit d'insérer à plat la plaque 61 constitutive du substrat 6 dans le fond 3 du boîtier de sorte que l'ouverture 62 centrale de la plaque soit traversée par le plot en saillie du fond du boîtier et que l'encoche entoure partiellement le tenon. Une fois la plaque constitutive du substrat en position, il suffit de fermer le boîtier par assemblage du couvercle du boîtier au fond du boîtier, cet assemblage s'opérant ici par endiquetage. Le diffuseur d'odeur est ensuite stocké dans un emballage hermétique étanche jusqu'à sa première utilisation. Avant la première utilisation, cet emballage est éliminé. Cet emballage peut être réutilisé pour conserver à nouveau le diffuseur d'odeur de manière hermétique grâce à une fermeture auto-agrippante ou simplement une pliure sur le haut de l'emballage. Ce diffuseur peut être destiné à un dispositif 20 de diffusion, tel que représenté aux figures 4 et 5. Ce dispositif 20 de diffusion se présente ici sous forme d'un bloc qui comprend intérieurement un circuit 21 de circulation de fluide traversant ledit bloc, un logement 22 de réception du diffuseur 1 d'odeur disposé sur ledit circuit 21 de circulation de fluide et des moyens 23 de circulation forcée d'air à travers ledit circuit 21 de circulation de fluide. Les moyens 23 de circulation forcée d'air sont formés ici par un ventilateur. Le diffuseur est donc, après enlèvement de son emballage hermétique, inséré dans le logement 22 du dispositif 20 de diffusion d'odeur, comme représenté à la figure 4. On note que le boîtier présente deux bords opposés convergents en direction de l'extrémité d'introduction du boîtier dans le logement pour faciliter l'insertion de ce dernier dans le logement. L'extrémité du boîtier, opposée à l'extrémité d'introduction du boîtier dans le logement est quant à elle munit d'un épaulement périphérique externe formant une butée de limitation de l'introduction du boîtier dans le diffuseur et une lèvre d'étanchéité. To save time in the assembly, in the example shown, a portion 722 of the second holding means 721, 722 is present at least in duplicate, that is to say in at least two copies on the substrate 6, each copy being able to selectively cooperate with at least a portion of the first holding means 71 1, 712. Indeed, the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6 comprises two notches arranged on two opposite edges of the plate, This plate is thus a reversible plate which can rest against the bottom of the housing by one or the other of its faces and can be inserted into the housing in a first angular position or in a second angular position offset by 180 ° relative to the first angular position. To perfect the assembly, the odor diffuser may comprise an identification means housed inside the housing 2. This identification means may for example be formed by a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. , this tag comprising an RFID chip and an antenna. This identification means allows a wireless link communication with a remote unit that can be integrated into the broadcast device associated with the diffuser. With this means of identification, it may be possible to control the duration and / or frequency of use of the odor diffuser to allow its replacement in a timely manner. The method of mounting the odor diffuser as described above is extremely simple. It suffices to insert flat the plate 61 constituting the substrate 6 in the bottom 3 of the housing so that the central opening 62 of the plate is traversed by the stud projecting from the bottom of the housing and that the notch partially surrounds the tenon. Once the plate constituting the substrate in position, it is sufficient to close the housing by assembling the housing cover at the bottom of the housing, this assembly is here by cross-linking. The odor diffuser is then stored in an airtight sealed package until it is first use. Before the first use, this packaging is eliminated. This packaging can be re-used to keep the odor dispenser sealed by means of a hook-and-loop fastener or simply a fold on the top of the packaging. This diffuser may be intended for a diffusion device 20, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. This diffusion device 20 is here in the form of a block which internally comprises a fluid circulation circuit 21 passing through said block, a receiving housing 22 of odor diffuser 1 disposed on said fluid circulation circuit 21 and means 23 forced circulation of air through said fluid circulation circuit 21. The means 23 forced circulation of air are formed here by a fan. The diffuser is, after removal of its sealed package, inserted into the housing 22 of the odor diffusion device 20, as shown in FIG. 4. It will be noted that the housing has two opposite edges converging towards the end of FIG. introduction of the housing into the housing to facilitate the insertion of the latter into the housing. The end of the housing opposite the insertion end of the housing in the housing is provided with an external peripheral shoulder forming a limiting stop of the introduction of the housing into the diffuser and a sealing lip .
