Description

The present invention mainly relates to a mist discharge device using an air cannon for discharging chemical substances used in daily life, such as fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and disinfectants, into mist or gas.

Below, the conventional problem is demonstrated about the apparatus which contains a fragrance | flavor as a chemical substance in fog or gas, and discharge | releases it.

Conventional fragrance generators are roughly divided into a natural volatile type and a forced diffusion type. As the natural volatilization type, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-164194, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 05-021950, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 01-181871, a rope is placed in a bottle containing liquid fragrance, and the tip of the rope is taken from the bottle. There is a well-known method that allows the liquid perfume soaked in the rope to vaporize naturally in the air.

Although the structure is simple, there is a problem that if the area that comes into contact with air is limited, the amount of vaporization is small, the olfactory stimulus is weak, and the fragrance is difficult to spread around. There is also a problem that when the bottle is knocked down, the liquid spills along the rope. Furthermore, many products can use only one type of liquid fragrance, and it is difficult to switch the fragrance.

On the other hand, as a forced diffusion type, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 05-048946 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-332420, a fragrance generating device using the principle of spraying is well known. Immerse one end of the tube in a liquid fragrance, narrow the tip of the tube and blow air from the side. Since the air pressure at the tip of the tube decreases, the liquid fragrance rises to the tip of the tube and is blown off to become a mist. The mist is circulated in the container, large particles are dropped and removed, and then the fine particles are released from the container.

In this method, the amount of fragrance generated is large and a strong scent is felt. However, since the spraying mechanism is complicated, it is difficult to manufacture in a small size and the manufacturing cost tends to be high. Further, when the container becomes dirty, cleaning is troublesome. Since only one type of liquid fragrance is usually contained in the liquid fragrance reservoir, it is difficult to switch fragrances. An air pump is used for blowing air, but there is a problem that the pump is not quiet because it involves vibration and sound.

As a forced diffusion method, recently, a method of atomizing a liquid with ultrasonic waves has been attracting attention (for example, JP-A-2003-245580). When a fragrance-containing liquid is used, the scent is released together with the mist, which makes it an attractive product.

However, when the fragrance-containing liquid is atomized, the apparatus having the structure described in the above document requires a large amount of liquid because the ultrasonic vibrator needs to be sufficiently filled with the liquid. Therefore, there is a problem that the fragrance is wasted and the inside of the apparatus is contaminated. In addition, the method of atomizing a liquid at room temperature with ultrasonic waves has insufficient vaporization, and thus there are problems such as weak olfactory stimulation, mist flow being disturbed and falling easily to the periphery, and causing contamination.

In other words, in order to develop a practical device that contains fragrance in a mist and releases it, a) reduce the amount of liquid to be atomized that contains fragrance, or mist of water without worrying about contaminating the inside of the device. It is a problem to generate and contain a fragrance in it, and b) to efficiently and beautifully discharge the generated mist in a predetermined direction .

Regarding the problem of reducing the atomization target liquid, Japanese Patent No. 3547132 discloses a method of separating the ultrasonic propagation medium and holding the atomization target liquid in a container. In this document, an ultrasonic wave is propagated to the atomization target liquid using a gel-like substance having a Poisson's ratio of 0.49 or more as the medium. Further, the ultrasonic wave is focused and reflected by a concave mirror provided in the ultrasonic wave propagation medium, and the liquid is locally atomized near the liquid surface. In this method, since the liquid layer of the liquid to be atomized may be shallow, the amount of liquid is small compared to the conventional method using no ultrasonic propagation medium.

However, no characteristic technique is disclosed regarding the treatment of mist or droplets scattered in the air. When dropping the liquid drop by colliding with the inner wall of the container, the liquid drop generally scatters widely. Therefore, the container containing the liquid to be atomized needs to have a large area because it receives the dropping liquid drop. Therefore, as described above, the liquid layer may be shallow, but the area of the container needs to be increased to some extent, and there is a limit to the reduction of the liquid amount.

In addition, for the release of mist, a method of generating and transporting an air current with an impeller is shown, but in this case, since the released mist fluctuates at a high speed due to the air current, it is difficult to produce a beautiful appearance of the mist . In addition, the sound and vibration of wings are also a problem with small devices. Furthermore, when the wings are put in the cylinder, there are problems such as complicated equipment, obstruction of miniaturization, and troublesome maintenance because the wings are contaminated with fragrance.

It has been known that the use of an air cannon has been effective for the purpose of beautifully releasing fog in a predetermined direction. Japanese Patent No. 3675203 discloses a device that discharges fog generated by ultrasonic waves using an air cannon, and continuously discharges the annular mist by controlling the time interval, speed, and pressure when blowing the annular mist. A control technique for creating different motion states for each fog is disclosed. It is effective for transporting the mist to a predetermined place, and the appearance of the mist flying is also beautiful.

However, the mist generating region and the air gun region that releases the mist as a mass are separated, and the mist generated by the ultrasonic wave is guided and released into the air gun barrel using a conduit. Therefore, the device configuration becomes large, the diameter of the gun barrel is large, and the flow of the airflow in the gun barrel is not uniform (the vortex is likely to be generated in the gun barrel after the annular fog is released). Since the mist is difficult to be released by one operation and the portion exposed to the mist in the apparatus is wide, there is a problem that when the fragrance-containing liquid is atomized, cleaning of the portion where the fragrance is attached is troublesome.

The configuration in which the fragrance-containing mist in the air cannon remains after the operation of the air cannon is not suitable for high-speed scent switching.

Moreover, although the discharge | release space | interval and speed | rate of annular fog can be changed, the discharge mode of other fogs is not indicated.

As described above, in a device that releases chemical substances such as fragrances in a mist, the type of chemical substance can be switched at high speed, and a small, economical, easy to use, high healing effect mist emitting device is It has not been realized yet .

The drive device can be constituted by a servo motor, a cam mechanism, a link mechanism, or the like.

<Effects of Means 1, 2 and 4>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the present invention, ultrasonic waves are focused near the liquid surface of the liquid to be atomized using a concave mirror lens to atomize the liquid. At this time, scattered ultrasonic waves with strong directivity are generated in the direction in which the mist is generated, and when this is guided to the fog transport cylinder, which is an ultrasonic reflector, the scattered ultrasonic waves are reflected at an acute angle inside the cylinder. Progress while. Therefore, if mist or small liquid drops are present in the cylinder, they are transported by the energy of the traveling wave. In other words, the generated mist is pushed up by ultrasonic waves, and most of it travels through the cylinder. Therefore, there are few components that flow out from the bottom of the cylinder and diffuse. At the same time, the small droplet liquid vibrates at high speed by the ultrasonic energy, and atomization is promoted .

Here, when a high atmospheric pressure is instantaneously generated between the lower portion of the mist transport cylinder and the liquid level of the atomization target liquid, an air flow is generated in the mist transport cylinder, and thus the inside of the cylinder rises. The mist is accelerated by the airflow and released from the opening of the cylinder.

If the opening of the cylinder is configured so that the cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the abdomen, vortices are generated in the opening along the circumference in a direction perpendicular to the circle. To fly. This is beautiful and has a visual healing effect .

Stable when the tip of the mist carrying cylinder is narrowed so that the cross-sectional area is about 2/3 to 1/10 of the abdomen 80a of the cylinder and the tip angle α is set in the range of 20 to 80 degrees. Can be made, and can fly a distance of several meters. Moreover, since the generation | occurrence | production of the residual fog which does not become a cyclic | annular fog can also be reduced, a chemical substance can be efficiently conveyed to a predetermined place, without diffusing around .

As described in the prior art, a normal ultrasonic atomizing device has a wide range in which mist is generated, so that the mist in the cannon cannot be completely discharged even when interlocked with an air gun. In many cases, the generated mist does not enter the barrel and diffuses around. If fog remains in the cannon after operating the air cannon, there is a significant hindrance to the switching of chemical substances. This is because the previous chemical substances are mixed.

However, in the present invention, since the mist flow is in a uniform direction as described above, there is little mist remaining in the mist carrying cylinder after the air gun operation, and switching of chemical substances is very clear. There is .

In the present invention, it is configured so as to surround locally scattered liquid, so that air enters from the lower part of the cylinder, and to convert scattered ultrasonic waves generated along with the scattered liquid into traveling waves. Therefore , the atomization is quiet .

Since the mist is less likely to adhere outside the mist carrying cylinder (27), cleaning is easy and maintenance is good .

When releasing air as a mass with an air cannon, if the mass of the substance mixed in the air changes, the release direction of the air mass (air ball) is difficult to determine, but in the present invention, the chemical substance is mixed into the mist and released. Therefore, the mass of the mass of mist hardly changes depending on the type of chemical substance. Therefore, the release characteristics are stable, and the chemical substance-containing mist can be presented in the targeted space .

In the present invention, since the ultrasonic reflection tube is used as a fog transport cylinder and is also used as an air gun barrel , another large gun barrel is not used as in the conventional apparatus, and an airflow generating means such as an impeller is also provided. Can be omitted. For this reason, it is advantageous for miniaturization and economy .

As described above, the characteristic of efficiently releasing the chemical substance-containing mist as a solid without remaining in the apparatus and the characteristic of quietly releasing the mist into the targeted space are means for locally atomizing the liquid (05 ) And the fog transport cylinder (27 or T3) that takes in the fog and transports the fog using the atomization energy, and instantaneously generates a high atmospheric pressure in the space between the lower part of the fog transport cylinder and the liquid level. Only realized in combination with the means (74) .

<Effects of means 3>
As shown in FIG. 5, even when the electrostatic atomization method is used as the means for locally atomizing the liquid, the same effect as the ultrasonic atomization method is obtained. When the counter electrode (T31) is provided at the lower part of the mist transport cylinder (T3), the mist is discharged into the cylinder and transported to the upper part of the cylinder, so the combination with the means for instantaneously generating high atmospheric pressure is effective. It is.

Further, by providing adjustment electrodes (T32, T33) on the abdomen (T3B) or upper part (T3C) of the mist transport cylinder (T3), a large amount of mist can be guided to the cylinder, so that a beautiful mist mass Has the effect of making .

Since the range in which the mist spreads is limited, cleaning is easy. The scent change is clear.

<Effects of Means 5>
1, 2, as shown in FIG. 5, ultrasound, or subsequent to the operation leading to fog transporting cylinder to generate mist by electrostatic, operating means for generating an instantaneous high pressure, it is generated The mist can be discharged as a solid without waste. Because it is a beautiful mist, it has directing and healing effects .

Furthermore, the effect is further enhanced by operating the means for detecting the concentration of the mist in the mist carrying cylinder and generating a high atmospheric pressure instantaneously.

<Effects of Means 6>
As shown in FIG. 1, a mechanism (AirST) for opening and closing the space between the lower part of the mist transport cylinder (27) and the liquid surface (Suf) of the atomization target liquid is provided, and the mist is beautiful when the opening and closing is controlled. Can be released as a mass. Moreover, the operation | movement which discharge | releases a mist as a lump and the operation | movement which discharge | releases a mist quietly continuously can be selected easily, and can produce the mist rich in change. In the state where the space is opened, the mist rises like a band by the traveling wave energy of the ultrasonic wave and fluctuates naturally, so that the healing effect is high .

<Effects of Means 7>
As shown in FIG. 2, the ultrasonic waves are focused and reflected, and the liquid near the liquid surface of the small liquid container is locally scattered. At this time, a large amount of mist and liquid droplets are discharged into a mist carrying tube composed of an ultrasonic reflecting tube. The mist rises in the cylinder by the traveling wave of the ultrasonic wave, and the droplet liquid that has not atomized is collected in a small liquid container. Since the spray range of the mist or droplet liquid is extremely limited, the small liquid container can have a small area and a shallow bottom. Therefore, a small amount of chemical substance-containing liquid (Liq2 (Wa)) can be accumulated and used in a small liquid container. After the liquid is consumed, the container can be replaced or another liquid can be accumulated. That is, it is easy to switch the type of chemical substance-containing mist to be released .

<Effects of Means 8>
As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 5, a chemical substance is formed on the mesh material (07,071) or the porous material (16) on the upper part of the mist carrying cylinder (27 or T3). When a means for containing a chemical substance is provided in the mist occluded (a, b, or c), the chemical substance is mixed into the mist. Easy to do. In addition, since no chemical substance adheres to the fog generating part, the inside of the apparatus is hardly contaminated and maintenance is easy .

The diameter of the mist conveying cylinder is not thick because it raises the mist using the energy at the time of spraying, so the chemical substance-containing region (YS) of the chemical substance-containing substance (07) provided to be connected thereto Can also be reduced. Therefore, different types of chemical substance-containing regions can be concentrated. With a small device, various chemical substances can be contained in the mist .

Normally, when the mist is passed through the mesh material (07,071) or the porous material, clogging is likely to occur. However, in the present invention, the mist diameter is controlled to be as small as about 1 to 10 microns, and the pressure is controlled. It is possible to solve the clogging problem by adding the chemical substance to the mist by controlling the heating temperature of the material.

In addition to liquid, gel can be used as the chemical substance to be occluded by the mesh material. Since the surface tension or viscous force acts on the liquid or gel in the occlusion area, the chemical substance does not sag and contaminate the inside of the mist carrying cylinder.

As described above, in the present invention, when a chemical substance is used as a fragrance, it has good olfactory characteristics, is visually beautiful, does not contaminate the surroundings, can be switched quickly and clearly, and is small and economical. Olfactory presentation device can be realized . The appearance of the white annular mist (Lm) rising softly has an interesting and healing effect .

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a water mist generated by ultrasonic waves is heated by a cylindrical heating means HT3 and passed through a plate-shaped chemical substance-containing material 07, whereby various chemicals are applied to the mist. It is a mist discharge device that contains substances a and b and discharges them as an annular mist Lm or a belt-like mist Sm.

4A is a longitudinal sectional view of the apparatus, FIG. 4B is a plan view of 07, and FIG. 4C is a transverse sectional view in the vicinity of the two-dot chain line sec of FIG. The main components will be described. In the figure, 05 is a liquid atomizing means, HT3 is a cylindrical heating means, 07 is a flat chemical substance-containing material provided in a passage for discharging mist, 80 is a fog discharge cylinder, 04 is an upper housing, 06 Is the lower housing.

Details and operations of the components will be described. In the liquid atomizing means 05, 40 is an ultrasonic vibrator, 41 is an ultrasonic vibrator mounting portion and drive circuit, Con1 is an ultrasonic vibrator drive control device, and 19 is a liquid so as to fill the vibration surface of the ultrasonic vibrator. It is a container to put. 01 is a container for injecting liquid into 19 and contains water W. W is supplied into 19 by an injection nozzle 011. Liq1 (W) in 19 is an ultrasonic propagation medium and an atomization target liquid. Liq1 (W) is kept at a constant water level. Reference numeral 25 denotes an ultrasonic focusing / reflecting mechanism composed of a concave mirror lens. Reference numeral 27 denotes a fog transport cylinder composed of an ultrasonic reflection tube.

When the ultrasonic transducer 40 is driven at a high frequency of 1 MHz or higher, the ultrasonic wave propagates in the Liq 1, is reflected by the concave mirror lens 25, and converges near the liquid surface Suf. The liquid level is pushed up, and as shown in FIG. 1D, a small liquid column AK1 is formed and locally scattered in the vicinity of AK1C. Since ultrasonic waves are focused, a large amount of fog is generated from a small space toward the top of the figure. Simultaneously with the generation of the fog, the ultrasonic waves are also scattered with high directivity from the space where the AK1C is small.

The fog transport cylinder 27 is provided so as to surround the top from the AK1C. The lower part of 27 spreads so that a scattering liquid may be taken in in a cylinder. Further, the lower part is positioned slightly above the liquid level, and air is taken into the cylinder from the lower part. Reference numeral 28 denotes a case for supporting the 27 and creating an atmospheric pressure generating space between the lower portion of the 27 and the liquid level Suf. The case 28 is provided with an air hole Air that can be opened and closed. AirST is a mechanism for opening and closing the air hole. 28 is provided so as to fit into the lower housing 06.

In the scattered liquid taken in 27, there are a mist m and a drop-like liquid AK2 that has not become a mist. When the ultrasonic transducer 40 is driven at a high frequency of 1 MHz or more, the mist m becomes fine particles of 10 microns or less. Specifically, when driven at 2.4 MHz, a large amount of particles having a diameter of about 3 microns are generated. When an ultrasonic vibrator is manufactured thinly and driven at a high frequency, fog of about 1 micron can be generated.

The mist carrying cylinder 27 acts as an ultrasonic reflection tube so as to reflect ultrasonic waves scattered upward from the small space AK1C and create a traveling wave upward. Since the ultrasonic waves scattered by AK1C have a strong directivity upward as described above, they become strong traveling waves in the cylinder. The thickness of 27 is desirably in the range of about 5 mm to 20 mm. If it is too thin, the scattered liquid cannot be taken in. If it is too thick, the energy density of the traveling wave is low.

The generated mist m receives an upward force by the traveling wave. Here, when the air hole Air is open, an air current like a one-dot chain line is generated, and the mist is conveyed upward. When Air is closed by the operation of AirST, the flow of air stops, so the rising of the mist stops.

Since the ultrasonic energy is collected in the cylinder 27, the droplet liquid AK2 is vibrated at high speed by the ultrasonic wave and atomization is promoted. That is, the amount of fog generated by 27 is greatly increased and the average particle size is decreased.

27 also acts as a guide for dropping and collecting the droplet liquid AK2. The liquid that has not been atomized is collected in 19 along the inner wall of 27.

The mist rising up the mist transport cylinder 27 passes through the heating means HT3, passes through the chemical substance-containing region YS of the chemical substance-containing material 07, and is discharged through the mist discharge cylinder 80. Since YS is provided with a liquid occlusion plate 95 and a chemical substance (fragrance b) is occluded, when the mist m passes through the YS, the vaporized b is mixed into the m and becomes a chemical substance-containing mist mb. And released in a band-like appearance Sm.

As described above, 27 conveys the mist and creates a flow of air, so that an air flow generation means such as an impeller that is indispensable in a conventional ultrasonic atomizer can be omitted. The mist emission by the ultrasonic traveling wave is quiet and beautiful. In addition, when emitting fog strongly, it is natural that an impeller can be used together.

Next, the configuration and operation of the instantaneous pressure generating means (air cannon) 74 will be described. 74 is attached to the atmospheric pressure generating case 28. 75 is a conical membrane for air compression, 77 is a drive solenoid for moving 75 in the Move direction, and Con3 is a control device for 74.

When 74 is operated with the air hole Air closed by AirST, the air pressure between the lower portion of 27 and the liquid surface Suf increases, so that an air flow as shown by a one-dot chain line Fg is generated, and the fog in 27 is Then, it is pushed upward and discharged from the opening 83 of the mist discharge cylinder 80 as a lump Lm.

In order to generate a beautiful annular mist Lm with the configuration of FIG. 1, the air holes of HT3 and 95 are enlarged, the number is increased, the area through which air passes is increased, and the air resistance is reduced, and It is important to make the tip 83 of the mist discharge cylinder 80 thinner.

When the tip of 80 is thinned so that the cross-sectional area is about 2/3 to 1/10 of the abdomen 80a of the cylinder, and the tip angle α is set in the range of 20 degrees to 80 degrees, Since the difference in the flow velocity at the time of exit becomes large between the central portion and the peripheral portion, the air flow makes a vortex in the direction perpendicular to the circumference along the circumference of the opening 83 and easily forms a stable annular mist. In the experiment, it was possible to fly a distance of about 5 m. Moreover, since the generation | occurrence | production of the residual fog which does not become a cyclic | annular fog can also be reduced, a chemical substance can be efficiently conveyed to a predetermined place, without diffusing around.

With respect to the air cannon 74 and the control device Con3, the air compression membrane 75 is moved instantaneously, the inside of the cylinder (27 or 80) is pressurized, and the membrane is held in that position until the air leaves the cylinder. Thereafter, it may be controlled to return slowly. The device for driving the air compression film in this case can be constituted by a servo motor, a cam mechanism, a link mechanism, or the like. This control makes it possible to create a beautiful annular mist and fly straight from the gun barrel.

Con1 can control the operation output, operation interval, timing, and the like of the ultrasonic transducer 40. Con3 may control the operation output, operation interval, timing, and the like of the air cannon 74. Further, the AirST can be provided with a drive control device Con4 not shown in the figure.

When these control devices are linked, a more beautiful annular mist can be created. For example, with the air hole Air opened, the ultrasonic transducer 40 is operated, the mist is guided into 27, and when sufficient mist has accumulated in the cylinder, 40 is stopped and the AirST is operated. When the air hole Air is closed and the air gun 74 is operated, the mist accumulated in the cylinder can be reliably discharged. Since there is no mist flow in any direction other than ascending the cylinder, the mist remains less likely to cause adverse effects. When releasing chemical-containing fog, the switch is clear.

Further, when the air hole Air is opened, the ultrasonic vibrator 40 is continuously operated, the mist is pushed up by the ultrasonic traveling wave, and further conveyed by the heat rising airflow generated by the heating means HT3, as described above, It becomes a belt-like mist Sm. The fog rising form causes the 1 / f fluctuation so that the movement of the fog appears at a frequency approximately proportional to the reciprocal of the frequency f. The movement is reminiscent of incense smoke and has a visual healing effect.

Thus, various fog can be produced by changing the combination of the control of Con1 to Con4.

Next, the configuration of the heating means HT3 will be described. YAS indicates a moisture resistant heating element. In YAS, a nichrome wire NC as a heating element is housed, and a thermal diffusion filler is packed around the NC. The sealed structure prevents moisture from entering. Con2 is a heating means control device. The drive current to YAS can be controlled.

HT3 has a cylindrical shape. Since YAS has a moisture resistant structure, it can be provided at the center of the cylinder. A thermal diffusion material 89 is provided around YAS. 89 is provided with a number of air holes Air2. Air2 is designed to reduce air resistance and to easily propagate heat to the mist.

Further, the heating means HT3 is provided above the ultrasonic reflecting tube 27 so as to cross the mist emission path. The heat of the heating element YAS is transmitted to the heat diffusing material 89, the inside of the fog discharge cylinder is uniformly warmed, the vicinity of the air hole Air2 is also warmed, and a heat rising airflow is generated in Air2.

Next, the mechanism 07 in which chemical substance-containing materials are accumulated will be described. In FIG. 1B, a disc-shaped pedestal is provided with six circular regions, and a mechanism 95 for storing a liquid chemical substance is fitted in each region. 95 is a chemical substance-containing material.

The pedestal can be manufactured by cutting a plate such as stainless steel. The chemical substance storage mechanism 95 can be composed of a net-like material or a porous material. A material in which many air holes are formed in the thickness direction of the material and air easily passes through is used. In the case of a mesh material, it can be configured by laminating several mesh materials of about 30 to 120. Further, an air hole may be formed at 95.

In 95, a gel-like chemical substance can be stored in addition to a liquid. In the figure, a, b, c, d, e, and f indicate liquid fragrances. YS is a liquid partitioning means for separating the chemical substance-containing region or compartment. MM is a rotation axis, and an arbitrary chemical substance-containing region can be selected and arranged on the upper part of HT3.

95 can be removed. Can be removed and washed with water, or disposable. Further, since the surface tension and the viscous force act on the liquid or gel occluded in 95, it does not sag and contaminate the HT3 and the fog transport cylinder.

95, using a mesh material, or a porous material, when the mist is allowed to pass, there is generally a problem that clogging is likely to occur, but in the present invention, the mist diameter is controlled to be as small as about 1 to 10 microns, Clogging does not occur by controlling the heating temperature of the material by discharging the mist by the pressure by the air cannon or the upward pressure by the ultrasonic traveling wave in 27. No problems occurred in the running test for a few days.

07 is entirely covered with a section selection case not shown in the figure, and some sections can be selectively exposed and other sections can be shielded. Thereby, only the chemical substance in the compartment above the heating means can be vaporized and contained in the mist.

In this embodiment, the place where the chemical substance is mixed is the mist transport cylinder 27 or the upper part of the heating means HT3, and the mist flow is unidirectional. It is fast. Of course, the operation is simple. Moreover, since the diameter of the fog transport cylinder is not thick, the chemical substance-containing region surrounded by YS can be reduced and can be accumulated in 07. Therefore, various chemical substances can be contained in the mist with a small apparatus. The place where the vaporized chemical substance adheres is only inside the fog discharge cylinder 80, and cleaning is easy.

In the 07 chemical substance-containing region (compartment), an empty compartment can be provided in addition to compartments such as fragrances, pharmaceuticals, antibacterial agents, and insecticides. Moreover, the drive of a rotating shaft can also be made into computer control. It can be programmed to release various chemicals in the mist or to release a mist of water according to the daily life pattern. When the mist is released, a large amount of negative ions is generated.

In fragrance applications, the olfactory stimuli are soft and comfortable because the fragrance is presented with moderate moisture. A variety of fragrances and visual fun make for an attractive product.

In FIG. 5B, each of the sections 07 or the chemical substance storage mechanism 95 has integrated memory circuits 02a, 02b, 02c, 02d for recording the types, properties, usage methods, and related information of the chemical substances. , 02e, and 02f are provided. In addition, a circuit 03 that supplies power to the integrated storage circuit and transmits / receives signals to / from the integrated storage circuit is provided at the upper right of the upper housing 04 in FIG.

When rotating the 07, when these integrated storage circuit and the power feeding / signal transmission / reception circuit 03 face each other, 03 reads the stored information and transmits this information to a processing device not shown in the figure. The processing device can give an instruction command from Con1 to Con4 according to a preset program, and can produce a mist emission.

In addition, video and sound can be presented using another device not shown in FIG. When visual information or auditory information related to the olfactory impression of a fragrance is presented, the desired effects such as healing and activity are enhanced in combination with the beauty of the movement of the mist and the psychological and physiological actions of the scent.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a chemical substance-containing liquid placed in a small liquid container 20 is atomized with ultrasonic waves, and the chemical substance-containing mist ma is discharged as an annular mist Lm. is there. The description will focus on the differences from FIG.

The liquid atomizing means 05 is provided with a small liquid container 20 that holds a small amount of liquid to be atomized. 20 has a depression at the bottom, and an ultrasonic wave passage film 23 is provided in the depression. As the material 23, a material having an acoustic impedance close to that of Lig1 is desirable in order to avoid attenuation of ultrasonic waves. Silicon rubber, vinyl chloride resin, etc. can be used. In addition, a thin film can be used because the acoustic impedance of the material does not match. For example, a stainless film, a glass film, paper, etc. can be used.

As a result of experiments, a thickness of 0.2 mm or less is suitable for glass or metal with high hardness, and a thickness of 0.5 mm or less is suitable for resin or rubber with low hardness.

20 is detachably attached to the lower housing 06 so that 23 contacts Liq1. In 20, a chemical substance (fragrance) -containing liquid Wa in which the fragrance a is contained in the water W is accumulated as the atomization target liquid Liq2.

The ultrasonic wave emitted from 40 is reflected by the concave mirror lens 25, passes through 23, and is focused near the liquid surface of Liq2. Liq2 (Wa) is locally scattered, and the fragrance-containing mist ma and the droplet liquid AK2 are taken into the mist transport cylinder 27. Since a traveling wave of ultrasonic waves is generated in 27, the fog ma is pushed upward.

In the state where AirST is open, an air flow is generated, so that the mist reaches the upper part of the mist transport cylinder 27. The fog density in 27 is detected by a photocoupler.

47 is an LED, and 48 is a phototransistor, both of which constitute a photocoupler. If the output of the LED 47 is constant, when the mist passes between the photocouplers, the light is blocked when the amount of mist increases, so the output of the phototransistor 48 decreases. That is, the amount of fog can be detected.

When the concentration of the fog reaches a predetermined value, when the air hole Air is closed by AirST and the instantaneous atmospheric pressure generating means 74 is operated, an instantaneous strong air current is generated in 27, so that the fog ma is connected to 27. The mist is released from the opening 83 of the mist discharge cylinder 80 as a mist lump Lm. When the opening is made narrower than the abdomen of the tube, it is discharged as a beautiful annular mist.

The fog discharge cylinder 80 has a bent shape and is attached to the fog transport cylinder 27 so as to be rotatable. Therefore, when the 80 is rotated, the opening can be directed in various directions.

The example of closing the air hole Air when operating the instantaneous air pressure generating means 74 has been shown. However, when the air hole is small, the air pressure between the lower part of 27 and the liquid level of Liq2 during the operation of 74 is as follows. The air hole Air may be kept open at all times in order to rise sufficiently.

Since the small liquid container 20 is designed so that the liquid is accumulated on the ultrasonic wave passing film 23, the liquid layer can be shallow. The liquid can be supplied from a liquid tank not shown in the figure. Further, since the droplet-like liquid AK2 that is scattered by ultrasonic waves and is not atomized returns to 20 along the inner wall of 27, the area of 20 can be made small enough to accommodate the lower part of 27. Since the liquid layer is shallow and the area is small, 20 atomization target liquids Liq2 may be small.

The first advantage of a small amount of Liq2 is that it can be consumed in a short time. Even if it is completely consumed and the inside of 20 is emptied, the ultrasonic transducer 40 is filled with Liq1, so that it does not become empty. After 20 is emptied, another fragrance-containing liquid can be atomized into 20.

The second advantage is that encapsulation is possible. It is easy to put different fragrance liquids in a plurality of small liquid containers, replace them, and atomize them. Further, the capsule can be provided with an integrated storage circuit that stores information on the liquid. As in the case described with reference to FIG. 1, it is possible to control atomization based on the information, present audiovisual information, and the like.

As Liq2, a fragrance-containing liquid, pharmaceuticals, mineral water, pure water, alcoholic beverages, antibacterial agent-containing water and the like can be used.

The embodiment of FIG. 2 may be combined with the embodiment of FIG. For example, in FIG. 2, a liquid to be atomized that is effective for beauty and health, such as mineral water, antibacterial agent-containing water, and pure water, is used as Liq2, and the fog can be passed through the chemical substance-containing material 70 shown in FIG. . When forest-based fragrances are used as chemical substances, effects similar to forest greed can be obtained.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the mechanism for containing a chemical substance in the fog generated by ultrasonic waves in the first embodiment. FIG. 4A is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. The description will focus on the differences from FIG.

In the upper part of the mist carrying cylinder 27, a cylinder heating means HT4 of a cylinder internal heating type and a cylindrical chemical substance containing substance 071 are provided. A moisture resistant heating element YAS is provided at the center of the HT4. YAS is configured by putting a nichrome wire NC and a thermal diffusion filler NC2 in a tubular stainless steel container SUS. NC1 is a wiring. Reference numeral 87 denotes a mechanism for supporting YAS, and an air hole Air4 is provided.

The chemical substance-containing material 071 includes a liquid storage plate 95 configured by a mesh mechanism and cover plates 93 and 94 having air holes Air3, and is attached so as to surround YAS. In 95, the liquid fragrance a is occluded.

When the NC is energized to heat YAS and the heat is transmitted to 071, a is vaporized and mixed into the mist m. The perfume-containing mist ma rises as shown by the alternate long and short dash line Fg.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the mechanism for containing a chemical substance in fog generated by ultrasonic waves in the first embodiment. FIG. 4A is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. The description will focus on the differences from FIG.

A cylindrical heating means HT2 and a porous material 16 containing a fragrance c are provided on the upper part of the mist transport cylinder 27. The HT 2 is configured so that the outer side of the fog discharge cylinder 80 is surrounded by a heating element YAS. YAS is composed of nichrome wire NC, thermal diffusion filler NC2, and the like, but has a cylindrical shape.

When the NC is energized and the YAS is heated and the inside of the 80 is warmed by the heat, the porous material 16 is also warmed, and the fragrance c is vaporized and mixed into the mist. The perfume-containing mist mc rises as shown by the alternate long and short dash line Fg. No. 16 can be produced by grinding and hardening a tree-based fragrance with an adhesive and making a number of holes on the surface. Sandalwood, agarwood, etc. can be used as a tree-based fragrance.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the mist m generated by the electrostatic atomization method is heated by the cylindrical heating means HT3 and passed through the plate-like chemical substance-containing material 07, thereby the mist.

A high voltage is applied to the electrode by a DC power source EE1. G is ground, and Sw is a switch.

T3 is a mist carrying cylinder for receiving fine particles emitted from the injection tube T1 and carrying the fine particles in the same scattering direction, and a counter electrode T31 is provided at the bottom. T31 has a ring shape and is provided so as to surround the fog transport cylinder. A strong electric field E1 can be generated between T11 and T31. When the liquid in the liquid jet tube is charged, the liquid at the tip of the tube is broken by the force of the electric field to become fine particles m, that is, atomized and enters the mist transport tube T3.

An adjustment electrode T32 for conveying the mist m in the axial direction of the cylinder is provided on the abdomen or upper part of the mist conveyance cylinder T3. EE2 is a DC power source. E2 is an electric field generated between T31 and T32. The fog is transported to the upper part of the fog transport cylinder by the electric field E2.

Here, at the time of the atomization, a droplet liquid AK2 having a large particle diameter is also generated. The droplet liquid collides with the wall of the cylinder and falls, and is collected in the fragrance-containing liquid reservoir.

A cylindrical heating means HT3 is connected to the upper part of the mist transport cylinder T3. A chemical substance containing substance 07 is provided on the upper part of HT3. The fragrance b occluded in 07 is vaporized by the heating, mixed in the mist m, becomes a fragrance-containing mist mb, and accumulates in the mist discharge cylinder 80.

Here, when air pressure is instantaneously generated between the lower portion of T3 and the liquid level Suf using the air cannon 74, that is, in the case 28 for generating atmospheric pressure, an ascending air current is generated in T3, The annular mist Lm is discharged from the opening 83 of the discharge cylinder. Air 4 is an air hole that takes air into 28. An alternate long and short dash line Fg indicates airflow.

When the rotating shaft MM of the chemical substance-containing material 07 is turned, various chemical substance-containing mists can be switched at high speed and released.
