Reference numeral 8 denotes a control unit provided in the middle of the cord 6 for controlling power supply to the heat source 4, and reference numeral 9 denotes a plug.

Next, a method of using the incense burner 1 having the above configuration will be described. First, the upper surface 2 of the main body 2
A material for aroma 7 (for example, perfume, tea leaves, essential oil, etc.) is placed on the aroma dish 5 of a, and the plug 9 of the cord 10 of the incense burner 1 is connected to a power source. Thereafter, the control unit 8 is adjusted according to the type of the fragrance material 7 placed on the fragrance plate 5, and the heat source 4
Adjust the light (heat) intensity of the bulb. For example, since the above-mentioned incense wood emits fragrance at a relatively high temperature, the temperature is kept high by adjusting the control unit 8 to increase the light (heat) of the bulb and increase the amount of generated heat. Materials 7
(Such as incense wood) is heated to an appropriate temperature. Then, the fragrance material 7 placed on the fragrance plate 5 is heated to an appropriate temperature by the light (heat) of the electric bulb, and the fragrance material 7 emits fragrance soon.

At the time of the heating, the diffused heat radiation from the heat source 4 is suppressed by the cylindrical shielding portion 2g disposed close to the periphery of the heat source 4. Then, the heat whose diffusion has been suppressed is concentrated on the lower surface 5c of the mounting portion 5b of the fragrance plate 5, and the portion is rapidly heated so that fragrance is immediately generated from the fragrance material. In addition, the shielding portion 2g allows the shielding portion 2
An air layer a is interposed between the heat source 4 and the heat source 4 and further between the shielding portion 2g and the peripheral wall portion 2b, and the heat insulation (heat transfer) from the heat source is suppressed as much as possible by the heat insulating effect of the air layer. The temperature of the peripheral wall 2b can be prevented from increasing. Further, the air taken in from the lower air hole 2h of the main body 2 passes through the inside of the main body 2 and is discharged from the upper gap g to the outside of the main body. As a result, the temperature of the peripheral wall portion 2b is suppressed from increasing. At the same time, the fragrance generated from the fragrance material 7 by the convection action of the air is diffused widely and quickly into the room, so that the diffusion of the fragrance into the room is promoted.

When the fragrance material 7 that emits fragrance at a low temperature, such as an essential oil, is used as the fragrance material 7, the control unit 8 is adjusted to increase the light (heat) of the bulb to generate the fragrance. Keeps the temperature low by reducing the heat
The fragrance material 7 is heated to an appropriate temperature.

When the fragrance material 7 that emits fragrance at an intermediate temperature between the incense wood such as tea leaves and the essential oil (hereinafter referred to as the intermediate temperature) is used, the control unit 8 is adjusted so that the heat source 4 The light (heat) of the bulb is slightly suppressed, and the fragrance material 7 (tea leaves) is heated to an appropriate temperature.

As described above, the incense burner 1 of the present invention adjusts the control unit 8 in accordance with the type of the fragrance material 7 and controls the intensity of the light (heat) of the electric bulb as the heat source 4 so as to control the fragrance. Since the temperature can be adjusted to a temperature suitable for the material 7, the fragrance can be efficiently emitted from the fragrance material 7.

In the above embodiment, the control unit 8 for varying the amount of heat of the heat source 4 according to the fragrance material 7 is provided. However, the control unit 8 is not separately provided. The same purpose can be achieved by replacing the fragrance plate 5 as shown in FIG. In other words, several types of the fragrance plate 5 having different depths of the mounting portions 5b are separately prepared, and by replacing these, the distance from the heat source is changed and the heating of the fragrance plate is adjusted, so that each fragrance material 7 is adjusted. Fragrance can be efficiently generated.

[0016]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, since the cylindrical shielding portion is arranged close to the heat source, diffusion and heat radiation from the heat source are suppressed, heat is concentrated on the fragrance plate, and the plate is heated. Can be rapidly heated, so that immediate effects such as prompt generation of aroma from the aroma material placed on the aroma plate can be expected.

[0017] Further, since the shielding portion arranged close to the heat source and the air layer interposed between the shielding portion and the heat source, and between the shielding portion and the main body, heat radiation from the heat source to the surroundings is suppressed. Even when used for a long time, the peripheral wall of the main body does not become unnecessarily high in temperature, and danger can be avoided.

In the present invention, the overheating of the shielding part is suppressed as much as possible by the convection of air reaching the air hole formed in the lower part of the main body and the gap formed in the upper part of the main body formed by the main body and the fragrance plate. By suppressing the heat transfer to the peripheral wall of the main body and avoiding the high temperature of the peripheral wall, the effect of the convection of the air (updraft) is that the fragrance generated from the fragrance plate is quickly and widely diffused throughout the room. is there.
