Description

  The present invention is an aroma fragrance made of an aluminum case, and is placed in contact and fixing behind the housing of an electronic circuit such as an AV device or a personal computer device, and by utilizing the residual heat due to the heat generated by the electronic circuit, In addition, the present invention relates to an aroma fragrance device using residual heat that allows the fragrance of volatile aromatic oils such as essential oils to function without requiring ultrasonic vibration, electric energy for lighting a light bulb, or heat energy for lighting a candle.

  A conventional aroma fragrance using heat generated by a light bulb such as a lamp is an fragrance that requires electric energy for lighting a lamp and consequently consumes electric energy for fragrance. In recent years, there has been a diffuser (ultrasonic aromatizer) that aromas are generated by generating ultrasonic vibration with electric energy. However, this also required electrical energy to make the fragrance function.

  Conventional aroma aroma apparatus using electric energy is required to raise the temperature of the aroma apparatus itself, because a liquid mixture of essential oil and water is heated and aromatized in a dish held in the aroma apparatus by applying a high temperature. As a result, if the temperature of the fragrance device itself rises and the user accidentally touches the device, there is a risk of minor burns on the human skin or risk of fire induction. In addition, when handling elderly liquids by handling 5 to 10 ml of mixed liquid, the operation may be mistaken, and the mixed liquid that has become hot water may be spilled. was there.

  In addition, since the diffuser (ultrasonic aromatizer) holds essential oil in liquid form that may irritate the human skin, when the diffuser is accidentally tilted, the essential oil flows out and adheres to the skin and clothes of the human body. There was a possibility of damaging it.

  Conventional heat-utilizing aroma aroma and diffusers (ultrasonic aroma) have to be used as a mixed liquid by adding essential oil and water. Since water is used, highly volatile essential oils volatilized early, and the mixed liquid often has a low essential oil content and only water remains. When this was left unused and left for a long time, the remaining water induced the generation of mold and the like inside the device, which was not hygienic. In addition, since the inside of the instrument frequently needs to be cleaned, maintenance is required.

  In conventional aroma fragrance or diffuser (ultrasonic fragrance) using a light bulb, it is necessary to use electrical energy that turns on the light bulb or electrical energy that generates ultrasonic waves in order to secure the energy required for fragrance. There was a problem that there was. In addition, since a mixed liquid of essential oil (aroma oil) and water is used and heated at a high temperature, there is a possibility of causing a burn or a fire.

The aroma aroma apparatus using the residual heat of the present invention was derived from “the law of conservation of energy”. Electronic circuits such as liquid crystal display panels built in AV equipment, liquid crystal flat-screen TVs, personal computer liquid crystal display monitors, and digital photo frames use the supplied electrical energy (w) to produce video output energy (p) and audio. The output energy (s) is converted into work energy, but the electronic circuits such as the liquid crystal display panel built in AV equipment, liquid crystal flat-screen TVs, liquid crystal display monitors of personal computers and digital photo frames, etc. Thermal energy (f) generated by itself exists as residual heat. In the past, this residual heat has been considered to suppress the residual heat, but has only been treated as an excess. However, the total energy is based on “the law of conservation of energy” and the following equation holds, and the generation of this residual heat cannot be denied.
w = p + s + f
In order to use the thermal energy (f) generated in the electronic circuit and efficiently use the residual heat for the fragrance function, a case made of aluminum (236 W / mK) with high thermal conductivity was provided as an aroma fragrance. In addition, porous volcanic rocks (porous minerals) that can maintain water retention without incombustibility and material deterioration due to fats and oils were provided in the aluminum case so as to soak an oily aromatic agent such as essential oil (aromatic oil). By providing porous volcanic rocks (porous minerals), it is possible to use the dry oil (not using water and hot water) by keeping the essential oil in minute pores, and the essential oil in the pores of the volcanic rock is received from the aluminum case. The aroma component was volatilized by heat conduction and allowed to aroma. The most important feature is that it is a safe aroma fragrance that avoids dangers such as burns and fires to the user by using residual heat without requiring electrical energy or thermal energy for its own equipment. To do.

  The aroma aroma device using the residual heat according to the present invention is an energy-saving and eco-friendly aroma aroma device because no electric energy is used. Moreover, since the appliance itself does not generate heat at high temperature because it uses residual heat, it is a safe aroma aroma device that can be used with peace of mind by elderly people. Since no water or hot water is used, mold is not generated, and it can be used simply by pouring a small amount (approximately 0.05 ml) of highly volatile essential oil (aroma oil) directly, so there is no need for maintenance. it can. As an example of the attached figure, the liquid crystal display monitor with an aroma fragrance according to the present invention can provide a fragrance effect in the room where the aroma fragrance is installed, as well as being able to view images or images. : A therapy that attempts to maintain mental and physical health by reducing nerve sedation and reducing stress. Electric energy can be provided without requiring energy.

  To efficiently conduct heat in a box-shaped case made of aluminum that can contain porous volcanic rock (porous mineral) soaked with oil-based fragrance on the back of the housing of a liquid crystal display monitor with a built-in liquid crystal display panel Adhere and fix the back of the housing and the aluminum case. Further, an upper lid frame for fixing the porous volcanic rock (porous mineral) in the case is bonded and fixed on the box-like case. The upper lid frame is formed as an aroma aroma by covering the top with an aluminum net so that the oily fragrance soaked in porous volcanic rock (porous mineral) volatilizes and aromas due to residual heat from the liquid crystal display monitor. And

  Embodiments of a digital photo frame will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The box-shaped case 2 that can contain 4 porous volcanic rocks (porous minerals) impregnated with an oily fragrance is made of an aluminum material that is durable, oil-resistant and has high thermal conductivity (236 W / mK). It is formed by bonding and fixed to the back of the casing of one digital photo frame.

  In order to efficiently conduct the residual heat generated by the liquid crystal display device to the bottom surface of the box-shaped case 2 to the porous volcanic rock (porous mineral) 4 or the like, 2 is bonded and fixed to the rear surface of the case 1.

  The upper lid frame that can fix 4 porous volcanic rocks (porous minerals) is made of aluminum with appropriate durability and oil resistance and high thermal conductivity (236 W / mK) with appropriate material. Adhering and fixing to the guts of the two box-like cases. The upper cover frame of 3 was cut out at the top and similarly surrounded by a net 5 made of aluminum in order to evaporate volatile aromatic components.

  By simply bonding and fixing the aroma fragrance of the present invention to a housing with electronic circuits built into existing home appliances, AV equipment, liquid crystal flat-screen TVs, liquid crystal display monitors of personal computers and digital photo frames, etc. It can be applied to the purpose of creating a comfortable space by aroma aroma in the installed indoor space.
