Description

Heater-evaporator device of liquids

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device which has been specially designed for heating and consequent evaporation of the liquid contained in a container, such as a small bottle, in order to get effluviums that act as a means of sanitation or environmental odorization.

The object of the invention is to achieve a structurally simple device, easy to assemble, that offers optimal performance, mainly in order to achieve a dosage of the evaporated product.

Background of the invention

Devices are known liquid heaters-evaporators, which use a bottle as a container of said liquids, from which a wick that passes through one or more heating resistors, of so that heating than said electrical resistors cause on the liquid aspirated by capillarity through said wick, facilitates and speeds up the evaporation thereof towards the device exterior.

These devices have a neck for coupling of said wick, with coupling means for the container container of the product, and with an electrical circuit that feeds the heating resistors, which is finished off in a plug, which allows the device to be connected and fixed directly to a conventional plug base, conveniently implanted in a wall, or said plug plug, instead of being integrated in the housing itself device, you can top off the free end of a cable, from indefinite length, in order that there is no dependence between the place of implantation of the device and the place where It has a plug base.

These devices present a problem that it focuses primarily on two aspects, on the one hand its structural complexity, from which derives a complicated assembly and consequently expensive, and on the other hand, the impossibility of regulation in its operation, that is, the impossibility of regulate the amount of product supplied to the environment in phase Soda, per unit of time.

Description of the invention

The device proposed by the invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed in the two aspects commented, since it offers some structural features that allow assembly of their Quick and easy components, while also allowing make a regulation as to the air circulation that passes through it and, consequently, as regards the dosage of product abroad.

To do this and more specifically said device is constituted from a base body, which it configures a bowl of semicircular plant cant, with a hole in its positional bottom and dimensionally according to classic neck for implantation of the wick of the device, base body intended to accommodate inside the support plate of the heating resistors and their complementary circuit, with the special feature that said plates surround a hole similar to the aforementioned and also intended for the passage of the wick.

The aforementioned base body is complemented with a lid superior provided on its periphery of a plurality of stems intended for pressure insertion in blind holes operatively practiced on the side wall of the base body, counting said cover, emerging from its lower face, with the neck corresponding to the housing of the wick, and a second neck envelope of the heating resistors, obviously finishing off the aforementioned neck in an upper hole, equivalent to the previously cited.

The structure described is complemented by a semi-open house both lower and lateral, housing its breast to the base body, being distanced from its upper lid and counting in turn with another coaxial hole with the previous ones, framed by two opposing and smaller holes.

The said hole is intended for coupling  tongue and groove of a shutter, which emerges outside the device, which has a drive handle and that incorporates a pair of opposing, radial, fins of different width, so that said fins are susceptible to simultaneously close the two smaller holes of the half-enclosure, to close only one of them or not to close none, which is equivalent to setting on the device a closing situation, a partial opening situation and a total opening situation, which are what allow regulation or dosage mentioned above.

To the side opening of the aforementioned semi-housing a second one is fixed by means of a sliding coupling half-shell that in addition to partially receiving the base body, specifically to its emerging sector of the first half-house, it prolongs inferiorly in a cylindrical ring, of mouth strangled, in which a disc that ends the inner end of the plug that assists the electrical circuit.

Finally, a base is attached to a base lower overcap, provided with a couple of hitch pins, of a slotted hole for coupling the neck of the bottle, and of a lateral and descending wing topped in a semicircle through from which the inner mouth of the second ring is sealed half-shell, to which this vertical wing is also coupled by slide.
