(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

<Overall structure>
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of an aroma diffuser 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. An air outlet 11 for discharging a fragrance component to the space is provided in the upper part of the housing 10, and the air outlet 11 is provided with a first air outlet 11a and a second air outlet 11b side by side. . In the following description, the first outlet 11a and the second outlet 11b may be collectively referred to as the outlet 11.

  As will be described later in detail, a first bottle 20a that communicates with the first outlet 11a is provided in the lower portion thereof, and a second bottle 20b that similarly communicates with the second outlet 11b is provided in the lower portion thereof. Since the structure including the blowout route from the first bottle 20a to the first blowout port 11a and the structure including the blowout route from the second bottle 20b to the second blowout port 11b are equivalent, the following description will not be repeated. First, the first bottle 20a will be described as an example. In the following description, the first bottle 20a and the second bottle 20b may be collectively referred to as the bottle 20 (perfume container).

  By causing the fragrance component accommodated in the bottle 20 arranged in this manner to generate an air flow by the volatilization mechanism 30 (air blowing means) provided adjacent to the bottle 20 and to discharge it from the air outlet 11. , The aroma diffuser 1 is installed in the volatilization space to volatilize the perfume ingredients.

  The air outlet 11 is only formed with an opening in FIG. 1, but a nozzle that can freely change the air outlet direction may be provided so that the user can control in a desired direction. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, the transparent cover 70 is provided so as to cover the bottle 20, and the user can touch the bottle 20 by touching the anti-slip 70a and rotating and opening the cover 70. Become.

<Internal structure>
FIG. 2 shows the internal structure of the aroma diffuser 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2A shows a perspective view of the internal structure with the housing 10 removed, as seen from the side (front side) of the aroma diffuser 1 to which the bottle 20 is attached, and FIG. 2B shows the opposite. The perspective view seen from the side (back side) is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), a bottle cap 40 is provided on the upper portion of the bottle 20 to form a blowout passage therein. The bottle cap 40 is provided with a first outlet passage 41a that communicates the first bottle 20a with the first outlet 11a and a second outlet passage 41b that communicates with the second bottle 20b with the second outlet 11b. Has been. However, the first bottle cap 40a and the second bottle cap 40b may be integrally formed, and the first outlet passage 41a and the second outlet passage 41b may be formed inside the first bottle cap 40a and the second bottle cap 40b, for example, in the state of being partitioned by a partition wall.

  The first bottle cap 40a has a structure that fits into the first bottle 20a, and has a first bottle cap inlet 42a that communicates the first bottle 20a and the first outlet passage 41a, as shown in FIG. The fragrance | flavor component released from the 1st bottle 20a by driving the 1st volatilization mechanism 30a shown to () flows through the 1st blowing path 41a in the 1st bottle cap 40a, and reaches the 1st bottle cap outlet 43a. , Is volatilized from the first outlet 11a provided in the housing 10 toward the volatilization space (outside air).

<Volatilization mechanism>
Here, the volatilization mechanism 30 will be described in detail. As described above, the volatilization mechanism 30 causes the perfume component contained in the bottle 20 to flow through the blowout path 41 in the bottle cap 40 and volatilizes from the blowout port 11 toward the volatilization space. It has the 1st volatilization mechanism 30a corresponding to 1 blowout path 41a, and the 2nd volatilization mechanism 30b corresponding to the 2nd blowout path 41b.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of the volatilization mechanism 30, the volatilization mechanism 30 includes a compressor 31 having a built-in diaphragm pump, and a connection pipe 32 connecting the compressor 31 and the bottle cap 40. It is provided corresponding to the volatilization mechanism 30b. The connecting pipe 32 is made of a resin material such as silicone rubber or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) in a tube shape, and in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the first bottle cap 40a. The second compressor 31b is arranged on the back side of the second bottle cap 40b and the first compressor 31a is arranged on the back side of the second bottle cap 40b. It is connected to the cap 40.

  By arranging the connecting pipes 32 in such a manner to intersect with each other, it is possible to secure a space for routing even when the connecting pipes 32 are formed of a material having relatively high rigidity in consideration of strength.

  FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating the operation of the aroma control of the aroma diffuser according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the air flow generated by the compressor 31 flows into the bottle cap 40, and the air flow functions as an ejector, so that the perfume component flows from the bottle 20 into the blowout path 41.

  The fragrance component flows into the blowout path 41 in a mist state, and of those having a large particle diameter, the fragrance component collides with the outer wall of the bottle cap 40 and drops as it is to flow into the reverse flow path 44 and return into the bottle 20. .

  The fragrance component flowing in the blowout passage 41 flows downstream along the blowout passage 41 formed so as to bypass the inside of the bottle cap 40 together with the air generated by the compressor 31, and reaches the bottle cap outlet 43. . Then, it is discharged toward the volatilization space from the air outlet 11 shown in FIG.

  In the volatilization mechanism 30 formed in this manner, the bottle 20 and the compressor 31 can be arranged in a space-saving manner by arranging them in the longitudinal direction, but as shown in FIG. The longitudinal direction of the aroma diffuser 1 is preferably arranged along the vertical direction of the aroma diffuser 1. In this case, it is preferable to make the connecting pipe 32 connecting the compressor 31 and the bottle cap 40 as short as possible, but the advancing direction of the air flowing into the bottle cap 40 is the lateral direction in FIG. It is preferable that the bottle cap 40 be made to flow in the installation surface direction of the housing 10.

  The reason for this is that by making it flow into this installation surface direction, it is easy to generate an ejector effect for the fragrance component in the bottle 20 in the bottle cap 40, and at the same time, the bottle cap 40 is installed while flowing vertically. By forming the blowout path 41 through which air flows in the surface direction, gas-liquid separation of the fragrance component can be facilitated.

  Therefore, the path of the connecting pipe 32 is preferably formed so as to be bent at a right angle when viewed from the side of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. In that case, if R is formed in consideration of the strength (rigidity) of the connection pipe 32, it is necessary to make R large, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. By arranging the second compressor 31b on the back side of 40a and the first compressor 31a on the back side of the second bottle cap 40b so as to cross each other at the upper part of the compressor 31, the connection can be made. The arrangement space of the pipe 32 can be reduced.

  This is also the case when three or more bottles 20 can be attached, and the bottle cap 40, which is the connection destination of the connection pipe 32 connected from each compressor 31, is located above the adjacent compressor 31. By connecting so as to form a bottle cap, the connection pipes 32 can be efficiently routed, and the housing 10 can be downsized.

  As described above, the volatilization amount of the fragrance component is proportional to the air amount generated by the compressor 31. In other words, the volatilization amount of the fragrance component can be adjusted by controlling the driving conditions (driving current, driving time) of the compressor 31.

<Block diagram>
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the control configuration of the aroma diffuser 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 50, a compressor 31, a storage unit 51, a communication IF (InterFace) 52, an operation unit 53, a display unit 54, a power supply unit 55, a humidity sensor 56, and the like are provided.

  The CPU 50 is a control unit that integrally controls all the units of the aroma diffuser 1. Although each component is connected only to the CPU 50 in FIG. 4, each component may be connected via a bus to directly exchange signals.

  The storage unit 51 is configured by a storage device such as a ROM and a RAM, and stores various programs necessary for the CPU 50 to control each unit, data necessary for control processing, and the like. For example, in addition to the data necessary for controlling the drive of the compressor 31, data necessary for controlling the communication IF 52 and the display unit 54, which will be described later, and the like are stored, and the CPU 50 uses these data for communication. The IF 52 and the display unit 54 are controlled.

  The communication IF 52 is an interface for communicating with an external device, and is a wireless module corresponding to each wireless communication standard, a LAN connector or a USB connector for wired connection, and the like.

  The display unit 54 is a display such as an LCD provided in the housing 10 and an indicator such as an LED for notifying the user of the operating state of the aroma diffuser 1. The CPU 50 controls the display unit 54 so that the display mode corresponds to the operation mode of the aroma diffuser 1 (the operation state of the compressor 31), so that the user can easily understand the operation mode of the aroma diffuser 1. In addition to the operation mode, the power ON / OFF status or the communication status of the communication IF 52 may be displayed.

  The operation unit 53 is an interface for the user to input a control instruction of the operation mode of the aroma diffuser 1 to the CPU 50, and is, for example, a tact switch arranged on the outer surface of the housing 10. Further, it may be configured by a touch panel attached on a display such as an LCD or a design showing functions.

  The power supply unit 55 is a power supply circuit connected to a power supply composed of a battery and an AC adapter, and generates and supplies necessary power to each unit. Therefore, in FIG. 4, the power supply unit 55 is connected only to the CPU 50, but is actually connected to each unit and supplies electric power required to drive each unit. The CPU 50 may be configured to control the power supply. The battery may be a built-in battery built in the main body or an external battery such as a mobile battery connected by a USB cable or the like. When the battery is built in, the mechanism for charging the battery is not particularly limited. For example, it may be charged by a current supplied by a USB cable or the like, or may have a charging circuit that can be charged by wireless power feeding or the like.

  The humidity sensor 56 is for measuring the humidity of the usage environment in which the aroma diffuser 1 is used, notifies the measured humidity information to the CPU 50, and the CPU 50 controls the output of the compressor 31 based on this humidity information. . When the humidity is higher than the predetermined humidity (first threshold humidity), the output of the compressor 31 is made high (high humidity operation mode) and the atomized fragrance component is difficult to diffuse. The amount of spray from 43 is increased to promote diffusion in the volatilization space.

  Further, when the humidity is low, diffusion is likely to occur, so the output of the compressor 31 is lowered (low humidity operation mode) to reduce the amount of spray from the bottle cap outlet 43 and suppress the diffusion of atomized fragrance components.

  Control example 1 in FIG. 5 is an example in which the output of the compressor 31 is linearly changed depending on the humidity. Further, the output of the compressor 31 may be changed stepwise depending on the humidity as in the control example 2 of FIG. Although the control example 2 controls in three stages, it may be controlled in two stages or in three or more stages.

  Further, this control may be combined with the control for another purpose. For example, in the initial stage of spraying, spraying is performed regardless of humidity in order to quickly diffuse the perfume ingredients to the surroundings. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the control may be switched to the above-described control according to the humidity. Further, instead of the lapse of a predetermined time, the diffusion time to the surroundings may be calculated using humidity or the like as a parameter, and when the time is reached, the control may be switched to control according to the humidity. In addition, in order to prevent the person from getting accustomed to the sense of smell, spraying may be intermittently performed, or the spraying speed may be changed. In any case, the amount of spray per unit time is controlled to be larger in the state where the humidity is higher than the predetermined humidity than in the state where the measured humidity is equal to or lower than the predetermined humidity. I'm good.

  FIG. 6 shows an example combined with control for another purpose. When the spray output is started, the spray is performed at a constant spray output P1 for a predetermined time t1. The predetermined time t1 is a preset time, and is set as the minimum time required to obtain the effect of the fragrance component around the aroma diffuser 1 by performing the spraying for the predetermined time t1. It's time.

  Humidity information of the usage environment is measured by the humidity sensor 56 at the time when t1 has elapsed or for a certain period until then. Based on the result, the spray output is switched to the spray output P2, and thereafter, the spray output is controlled based on the humidity measured by the humidity sensor 56. The example shown in FIG. 6 shows an example in which the spray output is gradually increased after the lapse of the predetermined time t1. This is because the humidity is increased by spraying the fragrance component or the humidification is simultaneously driven. An example of the spray output when the humidity is increasing due to a vessel or the like is shown.

  Here, in the example described above with reference to FIG. 6, the predetermined time t1 and the spray output P1 are based on the condition that the user can set as the initial setting. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the predetermined time t1 may be automatically changed based on the spray output P1 set by the user, or the spray output P1 may be automatically changed based on the predetermined time t1 set by the user. It may be changed to.

  Further, the spray output P2 may be determined based on the total spray amount at the time when the predetermined time t1 has elapsed and the humidity information measured by the humidity sensor 56 at that time.

  Therefore, in the aroma diffuser 1 in the present embodiment, the spray output is controlled based on the humidity information measured by the humidity sensor 56 and the like, and the total spray amount sprayed up to that point. In other words, in the case where the spray output is controlled based on the measurement result (humidity information) of the humidity sensor 56 or the like, the total spray amount (as an example, the product of the spray output and the spray time) exceeds a predetermined value. Up to a predetermined spray output (spray output P1) regardless of the measurement result of the humidity sensor 56, and when the total spray amount exceeds a predetermined value, the spray output is based on the measured humidity information. Can be said to be a controlled aroma diffuser.

  Further, the humidity sensor 56 is preferably attached to the aroma diffuser 1, but an external sensor other than the aroma diffuser 1 may be connected. Also, humidity information may be input to the CPU 50 from an external device or the like through the communication IF 52. Further, the input to the CPU 50 is information not including humidity such as weather, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and rainfall forecast%, and the humidity may be controlled independently by using these as parameters. As an example of the unique humidity prediction in the present embodiment, for example, it may be configured to determine whether the humidity is “high”, “medium”, or “low” depending on the weather.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 7 shows a conceptual diagram for explaining the operation of the aroma control of the aroma diffuser according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted and the difference will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the air flow generated by the compressor 31 flows into the bottle cap 40, and the air flow functions as an ejector, so that the perfume component flows from the bottle 20 into the blowout path 41. A cam 57 and an actuator 58 for driving the cam are arranged in front of the bottle cap outlet 43. The cam position A (left figure) in FIG. 7 is a state in which the cross-sectional area of the blowout path 41 in front of the bottle cap outlet 43 is widened by the cam 57, and the cam position A (right figure) in FIG. 7 is the blowout path by the cam 57. 41 shows a state in which the cross-sectional area of 41 is narrowed. As described above, in the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the output of the compressor 31 is controlled to be constant, and the cross-sectional area of the blow-out path 41 is widened or narrowed depending on the position of the cam 57, so that the perfume is reduced. Switch the spray amount of the component.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the control configuration of the aroma diffuser 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 50, a compressor 31, a storage unit 51, a communication IF (InterFace) 52, an operation unit 53, a display unit 54, a power supply unit 55, a humidity sensor 56, an actuator 58, and the like are provided. ing. The humidity sensor 56 notifies the humidity of the environment in which the aroma diffuser 1 is installed to the CPU 50, and the CPU 50 controls the position of the cam 57 via the actuator 58 based on this humidity information.

  When the humidity is high, the atomized fragrance component is less likely to diffuse. Therefore, when the humidity is high, the cam 57 is controlled to the position of the cam position A (left figure) in FIG. Increase the amount and promote diffusion in the volatilization space. Further, when the humidity is low, the diffusion is likely to occur, so that the cam 57 is controlled to the cam position B (right diagram) in FIG. 7 to narrow the cross-sectional area of the blowout path 41 to reduce the spray amount and to diffuse the atomized fragrance component. suppress. The control of the cross-sectional area of the blowout path 41 by the cam 57 may be linearly changed with respect to the humidity or may be controlled stepwise like the output of the compressor 31 in the first embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, when the cross-sectional area of the blowout passage 41 is widened by rotating the cam 57 to change the phase, the pressure loss in the blowout passage 41 decreases and the amount of spray increases, so that In the case where the cross-sectional area is narrowed, the example in which the pressure loss in the blowout path 41 increases and the spray amount decreases has been described. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and for example, the cam 57 is switched to reduce the cross-sectional area near the bottle cap outlet 43, so that the flow rate of the fragrance component ejected from the bottle cap outlet 43 increases and the fragrance component is released further. It is also possible to prevent the perfume component from reaching a long distance by decreasing the flow rate of the perfume component ejected from the bottle cap outlet 43 by increasing the cross-sectional area near the bottle cap outlet 43.

(Third Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the output of the compressor 31 is changed, and in the second embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the blowout path 41 is changed to cope with the difference in the diffusion degree due to the humidity of the use environment. Alternatively, in a system that collectively controls a plurality of aroma diffusers, the ejection amount may be controlled by controlling the number of operating volatilization mechanisms and diffusers. That is, when the humidity is high, the number of operating radicals is increased to promote the diffusion of the perfume component, and when the humidity is low, the number of operating radicals is reduced to suppress the diffusion, and the same effect can be obtained. Further, this control may be used in combination with the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

  In addition, for example, in a system that controls a plurality of aroma diffusers, a plurality of humidity sensors 56 that measure the humidity of the use environment are arranged, and an aroma diffuser that increases the spray amount is selected according to the distribution of humidity in the use environment. You may do it. For example, when multiple aroma diffusers are placed in a room, and when multiple humidity sensors detect high humidity in the room, increase the spray amount in the aroma diffuser closest to the high humidity. You may control so that it may be performed.

(Fourth Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present embodiment relates to the aroma diffuser and other devices described in the above embodiments, which have a display unit, and particularly those having a touch panel.

  A touch panel is increasingly used as an operation unit of a product, and the touch panel used for the operation unit is attached to the front surface of the LCD from the outside of the exterior, and a double-sided tape is mainly used for fixing at that time. As described in JP-A-2015-75607 and the like, the double-sided tape is attached between the outer side and the outer edge of the active area, which is the operation surface of the touch panel. At this time, if the entire circumference of the outer edge of the touch panel is fixed with the double-sided tape, the double-sided tape will also be attached to the mounting portion of the FPC, which is the signal line of the touch panel. In this case, if a force is applied in the direction of peeling off the touch panel, the force is also applied to the mounting portion of the FPC, and there is a risk of breaking the wire in some cases. Therefore, when fixing the touch panel, there is a constraint that the double-sided tape must be attached while avoiding the mounting portion of the FPC.

  According to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the workability of attaching the double-sided tape to the touch panel and prevent the disconnection of the FPC mounting portion that is the signal line of the touch panel.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic view showing an example of a conventional touch panel mounting portion. The touch panel 401 is attached to the exterior 410 using a double-sided tape 406. The outer surface 410 is provided with a sticking surface 411 of the touch panel and a slit 412 through which the signal line FPC 404 of the touch panel is inserted.

  FIG. 10 shows a rear view of the conventional touch panel 401 on the exterior sticking surface side. A transparent active area 402 is provided at the center, and an outer periphery 403 of the active area is an area where a force may be applied by sandwiching or adhering the touch panel 401, which is a range usable for mounting the touch panel 401. However, the mounting portion 407 of the FPC 404 cannot be used as it is for mounting because it may be broken when a force is applied. For this reason, the double-sided tape 406 shown in FIG. 9 cannot be evenly attached to the frame shape of the touch panel attachment surface 414 of the exterior 410, and is attached with a notch in a part thereof avoiding the FPC attachment portion.

  FIG. 11 shows a sectional view in the vicinity of the FPC mounting portion. In this example, as shown in FIG. 11, the double-faced tape 406 has a notch between the FPC mounting portion and the outer casing 410, so that there is no double-sided tape 406 and a gap is left. As described above, since there is a place where the double-faced tape 406 should not be partially attached, the attaching process of the touch panel 401 is a process with poor workability.

  The present embodiment is made in view of such a situation, and improves the workability of assembly and provides an operation unit in which a touch panel disconnection is unlikely to occur. Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described in detail.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of this embodiment. The touch panel 401 is attached to the exterior 413 using double-sided tape 406. The exterior 413 is provided with a sticking surface 411 of the touch panel and a slit 415 through which the FPC 404 of the touch panel is inserted, and the touch panel 401 is attached in a state where the FPC 404 is drawn into the exterior 413 through the slit 415. Further, a silicon member 416, to which the double-sided tape is difficult to adhere, is attached to a portion of the attachment surface 411 that faces the FPC attachment portion. Even if the double-sided tape 406 is evenly attached to the frame portion of the attachment surface 411 of the exterior 413 by the silicon member 416, no load is applied to the FPC attachment portion and there is no fear of disconnection.

  Specifically, the silicon member 416 is attached to the exterior 413 so that the slit 415 is formed between the exterior 413 and the silicon member 416.

  FIG. 13 shows a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the FPC attachment portion of the silicon member 416 in this embodiment. The touch panel 401 is attached to the exterior 413 with double-sided tape 406, and the exterior 413 facing the FPC attachment portion has a recess. A silicon member 416 is attached to the recess with an adhesive 417 suitable for attaching silicon. The adhesive 417 may be replaced with a double-sided tape that can be attached to silicon.

  FIG. 14 shows a cross-sectional view in the vicinity of the FPC attachment portion in another aspect. The touch panel 401 is attached to the exterior 413 with double-sided tape 406, the exterior 413 facing the FPC attachment portion is partially cut away, and an additional member 418 made of rubber is attached instead of the silicon member 416. There is. The additional member 418 may be made of PE (polyethylene) resin, PP (polypropylene) resin, or POM (polyacetal) resin other than rubber. The method of attaching the additional member 418 to the exterior 413 includes, but is not limited to, heat welding, screwing, snap fitting, and the like.

  Note that, in FIG. 14, an example in which a step portion is provided in the additional member 418 in order to fix the additional member 418 to the exterior 413 and attachment is performed from a surface of the exterior 413 opposite to the touch panel is shown. ing.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to worry about disconnection when mounting the touch panel, and the place where the double-sided tape is attached does not need to be limited. It is possible to provide a touch panel fixing method that is difficult to do.
