By driving the blower 2, air flows through the apparatus main body 1. A medicine holder 3 is attached to this air flow passage to form a blower type medicine dispersal device.

As shown in FIG. 2, the drug holder 3 has a plurality of drug storage chambers 21 formed in an air-permeable container 20, and a carrier containing a volatile drug in each drug storage chamber 21. 22 in which each carrier 22 contains different volatile chemicals. Because of this, the carriers 22 housed in the respective drug storage chambers 21 do not touch each other, and different volatile chemicals contained in each carrier 22 do not touch each other, which may cause a problem. Absent. Further, by circulating air in the container 20, different types of volatile chemicals can be released into the air.

Examples of the volatile chemicals used in the drug carrier 3 of the present invention include insecticides, repellents, pest growth control agents, aromatic deodorants, deodorants, and fungicides that volatilize under conditions such as room temperature and blowing air. , Antibacterial agents and the like. Further, as the carrier 22 containing the volatile agent, powder, granules, nets, sheets, plates, porous bodies, fibrous bodies, cotton bodies, sponge bodies and the like can be used.

Next, an example of a specific shape of the apparatus body 1 will be described. The apparatus main body 1 includes a main body 4 and a cover body 5. The main body 4 has a blower chamber 6 and a battery storage chamber 7, and also has a suction port 8 and a discharge port 9 which are open to the blower chamber 6, and the blower 2 is attached to the blower chamber 6. A battery 10 is provided in the battery storage chamber 7. The blower 2 drives the fan 2b with an electric motor 2a,
The electric motor 2a is powered by the battery 10.
The cover body 5 is detachably attached to the main body 4, and the cover body 5 has an opening 11 facing the suction port 8.
The drug holder 3 is detachably attached between the main body 4 and the cover body 5. By driving the blower 2, air circulates as indicated by arrows a, b, and c, air circulates in the drug holder 3, and the volatile drug is diffused into the air. In addition, by driving the blower 2, the air is blown by arrows a, b,
It can be distributed in the direction opposite to c. For example, by using the fan 2b as an axial fan, air is circulated in the direction opposite to the arrows a, b, and c as described above. In this case, the suction port and the discharge port are opposite.

Next, an example of a specific shape of the drug holder 3 will be described. The plurality of drug storage chambers 21 are formed so as to be separated from each other in the air flow direction, one of the drug storage chambers 21 is provided with an air flow passage 23, and air flows through the air flow passage 23 and the other drug storage chamber 21. Air circulates between the one drug storage chamber 21 and the other drug storage chamber 21.

Because of this, one drug storage chamber 2
If 1 is the air inflow side and the other drug storage chamber 21 is the air outflow side, a part of the inflowing air is one drug storage chamber 21,
The other air flows through the other drug storage chamber 21, and the remaining air does not pass through the one drug storage chamber 21 but directly flows through the other drug storage chamber 21 through the air passage 23. Therefore, the volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 stored in the one drug storage chamber 21 is less likely to be attached and accumulated to the carrier 22 (volatile drug) stored in the other drug storage chamber 21, and The volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 stored in the other drug storage chamber 21 is smoothly diffused into the air.

If one drug storage chamber 21 is the air outflow side and the other drug storage chamber 21 is the air inflow side, all the inflowing air flows through the other drug storage chamber 21, and A part of the air flows out through one of the medicine storage chambers 21 and the rest of the air flows out through an air flow passage 23. Therefore, the volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 stored in the other drug storage chamber 21 is less likely to be attached to and accumulated on the carrier 22 (volatile drug) stored in the one drug storage chamber 21, and The volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 stored in the other drug storage chamber 21 is smoothly diffused into the air.

That is, if there is no air flow passage 23 in one of the medicine storage chambers 21, the air flows into one of the medicine storage chambers 21 and the other of the medicine storage chambers 21, so that the one of the medicine storage chambers 21 flows into the air. In the case of the side, since the entire amount of the volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 housed in the one drug storage chamber 21 flows through the other drug storage chamber 21, the volatile drug is the other drug storage chamber. The amount of the volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 housed in the other drug storage chamber 21 increases because the amount of the compound 21 adhering to and accumulating on the carrier 22 increases and the air does not directly flow into the other drug storage chamber 21. It becomes hard to be dissipated in the air. In addition, one of the medicine storage chambers 21
Is on the air outflow side, the other drug storage chamber 2
Since the whole amount of the volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 stored in 1 circulates in the one drug storage chamber 21, the amount of the volatile drug attached to and accumulated on the carrier 22 in the one drug storage chamber 21 is large. At the same time, the volatile drug contained in the carrier 22 stored in the other drug storage chamber 21 is less likely to be released into the air.

Next, an example of a concrete shape of the container 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. The container 20 has a first container 30 and a second container 40. The first container 30 has a first surface 31, a second surface 32, and a peripheral surface 33 which are opposed to each other in the air flow direction.
