Description

The present invention relates to a deodorant transpiration apparatus and a deodorizer method and a transpiration apparatus in which a heating unit that promotes transpiration of a deodorant is an inclined heating plate and the deodorant of the space is maintained by utilizing the characteristics of the deodorant.

In order to evaporate the deodorant, a method of simply opening the top of the container, a bottom heating method of the container, a vertical side heating method, or a fan method are known.
JP2003-169977A

In the method of opening the upper part of the container, transpiration is slow because the transpiration drive force is only the environmental humidity where the container is placed. In the bottom heating type, the bottom of the container is reliably heated and the temperature in the vicinity of the contact portion rises. However, since the thermal conductivity of the deodorant is poor, the temperature on the surface where transpiration occurs does not increase. Therefore, the transpiration effect is small. The vertical side heating type has a small heating effect because it has a small effective contact area with the container. The fan type has a demerit of noise in a quiet room. Also, the life of the fan becomes a problem. The present invention is intended to solve these problems and provide a deodorizing apparatus that effectively maintains the deodorant characteristics.

The deodorizing apparatus according to the present invention is composed of a main body plate composed of an upper frame part, a bottom part for housing a substrate, a front central wall, a back plate having a mounting hole for attaching the deodorizing apparatus to a wall surface, and a cover part covering the apparatus. Is done. The heating plate attached to the back plate is made of a metal plate having good thermal conductivity, such as an aluminum material, and is inclined several degrees with respect to the vertical back plate. In this way, when the deodorant container is lowered onto the apparatus from the upper part, the container is regulated by the upper frame, and the container slides along the inclined heating plate and is loaded in close contact with the heating plate by the weight of the deodorant.

The key to promoting transpiration is how to efficiently transfer the heat of the heating section to the deodorant and how to evaporate and transport the transpirated medicinal component as an ascending draft. In view of this point, as described above, the entire surface of the container is brought into close contact with the heating unit by the weight of the deodorant itself, and the heating unit area is increased to increase the temperature of the deodorant and to provide an inclination. Is conducive to internal convection. Further, since a plurality of openings are provided at the bottom of the main body, and an upper opening and a lid opening are provided on the back surface of the heated metal plate, a rising draft is urged from the bottom of the main body to the outside of the lid by the chimney effect.

The deodorant used in this deodorizer has the highest medicinal effect at the beginning of use, and its effect decreases as the amount of transpiration is reduced. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram, but since it differs depending on the material and amount of the deodorant, the usage environment, and what is measured, it is conceptually a graph like this. However, people hesitate to replace them with new deodorants if any deodorants remain. As a result, although there is a deodorant, there is no deodorant effect, so it is easy to question the original effect of the deodorant used. Therefore, this device is provided with a function to notify the replacement time, and an effective usage method is proposed. In a small space (30 m ³ or less), one full bottle of deodorant is loaded into the deodorizer and a half bottle containing half of the deodorant in the container is started. When the deodorant of the full bottle is almost halved, the bottle that started with the half bottle is as if the bottle is empty as the remaining amount of deodorant drops below the front window edge of the deodorizer. appear. I can understand that it is time to replace the bottle because I can't see the deodorant. Almost half of the remaining amount of the full bottle still has a deodorizing effect. By repeating this alternately, the deodorizing effect does not drop at any point, and the cleanness of the small space can be maintained.

In the case of the middle space, two full bottles are loaded in the deodorizer and the operation is started. Even if there is a slight variation, the bottle approaches the lower edge of the front window almost at the same time. By doing so, the deodorizing effect in the middle space can be maintained.
Further, in the case of a large space, an outlet box is provided on the rear surface of the back plate so that the deodorizing apparatus can be connected to two or three units. Multiple units can be connected and used from this outlet.

The present invention includes the use of a deodorant in the same deodorizing apparatus from a small home space excluding a large business-use space to a business-use space so that the effect can be sustained. The structure of the apparatus is that a special container is used so that the deodorant can be effectively transpired, and the entire side surface is in close contact with the inclined heating plate heated by the PTC heater, and the chimney effect is formed on the rear surface. An opening is provided in the upper part of the bottom plate main body and the lid so that an ascending air current is generated, and the heating plate lower part has a larger opening area and the upper part makes it smaller.
Proposed the usage corresponding to the size of the space to be deodorized by installing an outlet box on the back plate of the main body so that the deodorant container can be installed two places alternately or simultaneously, or multiple devices can be connected. .
The special container is transparent so that you can see how the deodorant is reduced at a glance, and when it passes the lower front edge of the window of this device (when the deodorant in the container disappears), a clear method is used to replace it. did. In addition, the dedicated container was illuminated from the bottom to improve its visual merchandise for business use. A wall mounting hole is provided on the back plate and a leg is provided on the bottom so that the device can be placed on the wall and used on the floor.

An embodiment of a deodorizing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The amount of transpiration depends on the difference between the temperature of the deodorant on the top surface of the bottle in contact with air and the temperature of the air around it. The greater the difference, the greater the driving force. Moreover, the greater the transpiration area, the greater the transpiration rate the faster the wind speed at the installation site. Therefore, in order to construct a deodorizing apparatus that is compact for indoor use and has a large transpiration capacity, this point must be fully taken into consideration.
The present invention has been made under this concept and encompasses user usage. In FIG. 1, 1 is a deodorizing device, 2 is a main body plate having a front window 3, 4 is a back plate for attaching the device 1 to a wall surface, and a box composed of 2 and 4 is called a main body 5. 6 has a slit 7 through which the medicinal components evaporated by the lid of the apparatus 1 are released upward. Reference numeral 8 denotes a protrusion provided on the upper surface of the lid 6 so that the slit 7 is not blocked and chemical vaporization is not hindered when a document or the like is placed thereon with the lid closed. 9 is a recess provided on both side surfaces of the lid 6 and has an anti-slip effect on the finger when the lid is opened. Reference numeral 10 indicates the amount of deodorant 11 (not shown) filled in a transparent special container disposed on the left of the main body window 3. Although it is not loaded on the right side in this figure, a container also enters this part in actual use. Reference numeral 12 denotes a line indicating the container replacement time at the lower front edge of the window 3 where the deodorant has an extremely low medicinal effect. Since the remaining amount of deodorant is below this line when viewed from the front, the deodorant can be seen to disappear. It is human psychology to decide to replace the container when the deodorant is gone.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lid 6 of FIG. 1 is opened. In this figure, 13 is a cover for a dedicated container, but when the deodorizer is a spherical polymer bead having an opening 14 for releasing a transpiration medicinal component, the short diameter of the slit is less than the bead diameter, and the polymer bead is loaded when the container is loaded. Considered not to spill. Even if the deodorant falls to the bottom of the main body 5, it collects in the detachable dish-shaped cover 15, so that it does not flow down and contaminate the installation location. Reference numeral 16 denotes a heating plate, which is a metal plate having good heat conduction, and in the embodiment, an aluminum plate is fitted and sandwiched between an upper claw 17 and a lower claw 18 formed on a back plate. The heating plate 16 is not vertical but is held in a shape where the upper part is slightly tilted in the direction of the back plate.
In the practical example, it is inclined 3 degrees with respect to the vertical plane. This is because when the container 10 is mounted on the apparatus, it is regulated by the corner part 20 and B part 21 of the upper frame part 19 of the main body, and is automatically brought into close contact with the heating plate 16 by its own weight. The heat of the heating plate is easily transferred to the container by conduction. Moreover, by attaching the heating plate in such a manner, the space between the upper portion and the back plate 4 is narrowed, and the lower portion is widened to obtain a chimney structure. This greatly contributes to the transpiration of the deodorant.

3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. A PTC heating element 22 having a positive temperature characteristic is mounted at a substantially central position of the heating plate 16. The deodorizing device is basically loaded with two bottles, but the amount of deodorant in the two containers shows various remaining amounts depending on the replacement time of the container. The method of detecting and controlling the heater is difficult to control. Since the PTC heater is a self-control type in which the resistance value of the heater rapidly increases and the current is limited at a predetermined constant temperature, it can be said to be an optimal heater for this type of control. Reference numeral 23 denotes an LED for an energization indicator, and reference numeral 24 denotes a main substrate provided at the center bottom of the deodorizing apparatus. 25 is a white LED for illuminating the top from the bottom of the container 10, and 26 is a diode substrate, the same two of which are arranged on the left and right. In an environment where no lighting is required, it can be turned off and used.

FIG. 4 is a perspective side view for explaining the switch function of the deodorizing apparatus 1. Reference numeral 27 denotes a power switch supplied to the apparatus by a main switch. It is located at the bottom of the deodorizer and is operated from the outside of the bottom. 28 is a switch for turning on / off the white LED, and can be operated from the bottom side like the main switch 27. When both are ON, the ON state is maintained.
The dish-shaped cover 15 is made of a transparent material such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the dome portion 29 corresponding to the LED for illumination is formed in a hemispherical shape. Radiated towards. The entire cover is opaque. There is an advantage that the color of the paint can be changed freely.
A mounting hole (upper) 30 and a mounting hole (lower) 31 are screw holes for mounting on the wall surface and are provided on the back plate 4. Reference numeral 32 denotes a leg which is provided at the bottom of the main body 5 and supports the present apparatus when placed on the floor.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the bottom of the deodorizing apparatus. The substrate 24 is mounted at the center of the main body 5, and the substrate 24 is equipped with an energization indicator 23, an illumination ON / OFF switch 28, and an AC-DC conversion circuit (not shown) of a household power supply 100V.
The right side of the illumination diode substrate 26 is shown, but the same one is attached to the left side. The main switch 27 is provided on the right side. Reference numerals 33 and 34 are bottom air holes formed in the bottom of the main body 5 and are outside air intake holes for the updraft by the heating plate. Reference numerals 35, 36, etc. denote mounting ribs for fastening the substrate with screws, and are integrally formed with the main body at the bottom of the main body.
