Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[I. About the transpiration substance used in this invention]
1. 1. Evaporative substances that are effective for stabilizing the human body include fragrances, air fresheners, insect repellents containing some of them, dehumidifiers, deodorants, and the like.
For example, fragrances as transpiration substances are: ・ Lavender type (fragrance tends to remain)
・ Citrus type (scent is hard to remain)
・ Powdery type, woody type, etc. are used.

2. 2. Verification showing the results when the above essential oil fragrance is used as the transpiration substance Fragrance: Lavender-based essential oil usage amount: 0.06 g
Perfume rate: 3%
Amount of transpiration as a scent: 2g
Amount of quicklime used: 3g
Room size as a closed space: 32 square meters Confirmation method: After evaporation, the room was closed and a sensory test was conducted by 4 people every 15 minutes.

（有効時間については、同じ空間に居続けて臭いに慣れて感じなくなるまでの時間、香りが消えるまでの時間については、臭いにニュートラルな状態で外から入ったときに臭いを感じなくなるまでの時間とする。） 3. 3. Next, the above verification results are shown in Table 1 below.

(The effective time is the time it takes to stay in the same space and get used to the odor and not feel it, and the time until the scent disappears is the time until the odor disappears when entering from the outside in a neutral state. To do.)

4. Carriers and carrying means for evaporative substances that are essential oils The properties of essential oils include solids, liquids, powders, and gases, and these essential oils have different properties depending on the time of storage and use.

The supporting substance and the supporting form that carry the essential oil differ depending on the difference in the properties of the essential oil.

For example, when the essential oil is a solid body, the supporting substance impregnated with the transpiration substance, which is the essential oil, is deformed into a thin film, a tablet, a powder, or the like to support the transpiration substance on the solid body.

When the essential oil is a liquid substance, the transpiration substance, which is an essential oil, is adsorbed on a porous body such as a sponge, stored in a container, and dropped from the container to be brought into contact with the carrying substance.

When the essential oil is a powder, the solidified essential oil transpiration substance is crushed into a powder, which is also mixed with the supporting substance of the powder or coated on the peripheral surface of the solid carrying substance.

The carrying substance carrying the above-mentioned essential oil transpiration substance is an intermediate substance that retains the essential oil, but a heating element can also be used as the carrying substance.

For example, quicklime powder or solid matter may be used as a carrier substance for essential oils. In this case, various arrangement structures with water, especially the shape structure of the container, must be considered in order to cause a hydration reaction of quicklime. It doesn't become. That is, the calorific body such as quicklime and water and the transpiration substance which is the essential oil stored in the container are stored in a hard container as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4, for example, and the quicklime and water are hydrated. The container structure is such that the reaction is likely to occur, and at the same time, the heat generated by the hydration reaction is transmitted to the transpiration substance, which is the essential oil.

[II. About heating elements]
1. 1. The heating element basically uses a substance that performs a heat generating function without using electric energy, fire energy, or gas energy.

In short, it utilizes the heat generated by the exothermic action of the hydration reaction by chemical substances without using any conventional heat generation technology by thermal power or the like, and as inorganic and / or organic substances, for example, calcium, magnesium, etc. Aluminum, hydrotalside and the like can be exemplified. In this example, a case where calcium (limestone) is mainly used among such heating elements will be described in detail.

2. 2. As an example of the heating element, aluminum, calcium oxide (CaO), sodium chloride and the like are mainly used, but activated carbon, iron powder and the like are mixed and used as necessary. Water is used when using such components, but water having approximately the same weight as the total of the mixed components is used. For example, when using several grams of calcium oxide in the mixture, use approximately the same amount of water. Then, calcium oxide (CaO) generates a heat of reaction of about 90 ° C. to 300 ° C. by a hydration reaction with water.

Such exothermic materials are inexpensive, easy to handle and safe. The properties of the exothermic material are basically solid, powder, and the like. Further, aluminum (Al) powder may be further mixed with the main agent such as calcium oxide (CaO). Mixing of aluminum (Al) powder can promote the generation of heat of reaction and obtain a large amount of heat.

When the heat of reaction is generated by the hydration reaction of calcium oxide (CaO) in this way, the hydrolysis of calcium hydroxide Ca (OH) 2 produces a strong base aqueous solution, which reacts with aluminum (Al) and reacts newly. Heat is generated and as a result heating is promoted by the double heat of reaction. However, it causes the generation of hydrogen gas, which poses a risk of inducing a hydrogen explosion. In order to reduce the generation of hydrogen gas as much as possible, a metal salt (NaCl), a carbonate (Na2CO3), etc. are further added to the mixture of calcium oxide (CaO) and aluminum (Al) to generate hydrogen gas as much as possible. Suppress.

3. 3. As described above, a metal salt (NaCl), a carbonate (Na2CO3), or the like is added to a heating element such as calcium oxide (CaO). By adding these metal salts (NaCl), carbonates (Na2CO3), etc., the reaction of aluminum (Al) can be activated and the heating function can be maintained for a long time.

[III. Relationship between transpiration material and heating element]
1. 1. Configuration that encapsulates the transpiration substance and the transpiration substance 1) Configuration that integrates the transpiration substance and the transpiration substance (1) If both the transpiration substance and the transpiration substance are solid bodies, place the transpiration substance on the top of the heating element Then, the medicinal component is transpired from the solid body by heat conduction from below.
(2) A liquid evaporative substance is placed on the surface of the heating element and casing, and the liquid evaporative substance is transpired by heating by the heat generated by the heating element to evaporate the medicinal component into a narrow space.
(3) When the vaporized substance is a powder, it is sprayed on a heating element to evaporate the medicinal component of the vaporized substance and sprayed in the air. Further, the transpiration substance is solidified and embedded in the heating element of the powder body, and the powder transpiration substance is encapsulated.

2. 2. Structure that integrally forms the transpiration substance and the heating element 1) Both the transpiration substance and the heating element are made into powder and powder, and both are mixed to form one medicinal component particle, which is used as a transpiration substance mixed heating element in a certain container. Water is supplied for the hydration reaction by casing and appropriate means.
2) A solid evaporative substance is stored in the heating element, and the components are gradually transpired from the evaporative substance on the outer circumference as the heating element generates heat.
3) Both the transpiration substance and the heating element are solidified into a flat shape, and the flat transpiration substance and the heating element are alternately placed and bonded to each other.
4) The mixture formed integrally with these transpiration substances and a heating element can be configured into various structures, and the structure can be modified according to the place of use and the environment of use.

[IV. Hydration reaction of heating element]
1. 1. In order to make the heating element react with water, a technique for bringing water into contact with the heating element is required. A technique for contacting such a heating element with water will be considered.
1) A technique for dropping water on a heating element immediately before use.
For example, water is dropped onto the heating element using an instrument such as a dropper. In addition, the water bag is casing together with the heating element, and the water bag is burst by pressing from the outside to bring the heating element into contact with water. A mechanism that allows contact operation between the heating element and water is provided outside the casing.

2) Predict the start timing of use in advance, and store the structure in which the heating element and water come into contact with each other in a predetermined casing according to the timing.

2. 2. Mechanism of hydration reaction of heating element When calcium oxide is used as a heating element, contact with water causes a hydration reaction to generate heat of reaction and heat the essential oil to evaporate it.

The relationship between the amount of calcium oxide and the amount of reaction water and the relationship with the reaction time are as described above. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, as a switch mechanism for causing a hydration reaction with a heating element, a structure in which the heating element and water come into contact with each other is provided based on an operation from the outside.

[V. About the storage container]
1. 1. Store the heating element and transpiration material in a plastic container. Containers can be classified into hanging type, wall hanging type, and hanging type. In any of the forms, the inside of the container has an internal structure in which the heating element and the transpiration substance can be stored under a certain related structure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the surface of the container has a porous structure such as an air flow hole so that components from the transpired substance can be easily transpired. The container is composed of a storage body and a lid, and the transpiration substance and the heating element are stored and taken out as contents.

When the lid is a fixed type that cannot be opened, the transpiration substance as an internal storage may be freely replaceable according to the user's preference. The container structure changes depending on whether the product device is a disposable device or a reusable container that prioritizes economic efficiency.

As described above, if necessary, a so-called disposable container can be used, and in this case, the used heating element and the transpiration substance are also disposable together with the container. Whether to use a disposable container or a reusable container will be selected in terms of cost, but as will be described later, when the range of use of this device is limited to a small space such as a hotel, usability and cost It is decided by the balance between and the complexity of management on the hotel side.

When the heating element, evaporative substance, and reaction medium (water) can be refilled in the same container, the container, heating element, and evaporative substance, in consideration of the distribution form of this device and the business form of this device in the hotel business, etc. It is possible to build a business model that targets reaction media (water), etc. for distribution transactions, and build a business model that focuses on services to hotel guests, especially for the purpose of setting the essential oil evaporation environment in the hotel accommodation room. can do.

In other words, the service product is "essential oil evaporation technology that does not use thermal power" that can be implemented in a narrow closed space inside a hotel accommodation room, and "providers of narrow closed spaces", "the recipients", and "distribution traders". It is possible to construct a business model composed of such things.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the essential oil evaporator is sold and distributed among the parties concerned, and the provider of the narrow confined space provides the essential oil evaporator to the recipient of the narrow confined space. The beneficiary receives an essential oil evaporative device that does not use thermal power and uses an essential oil evaporator in a narrow confined space to improve the accommodation environment by using essential oil chemical components, that is, the guest himself / herself engages in essential oil evaporative activity in the narrow confined space. It is possible to differentiate the accommodation service by going and receiving an advanced accommodation environment. Such a system can be constructed as a business model.

2. 2. Use a simple bag as the storage container.
The above-mentioned container is made of a so-called hard case such as resin, and is generally used in consideration of convenience of handling in the distribution process. However, if the container is inexpensive and easy to use, it may be used. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a flexible "bag body 500" is used instead of a hard case, and the heating element 200 and the evaporative substance 100 are stored in the bag body, and the bag body 500 remains in the distribution process. At the time of use, the water bag 300 in the bag body causes a hydration reaction of the heating element to evaporate the essential oil from the bag body.

In this case, the water bag 300 is also integrally housed in the bag body together with the heating element 200 and the transpiration substance 100, and the bag body 500 is crushed via external energy to cause a hydration reaction in the bag body. I will do it. For example, an exothermic component such as calcium oxide and a water bag 300 are stored in the bag body 500, and the water bag 300 is pressed from the outside to be crushed to cause a hydration reaction in the bag body 500.

The bag body 500 is provided with a large number of holes for evaporating and discharging the components of the evaporative substance 100 generated by the heating element 200, and the bag body 500 itself is provided with a shape or pattern design that gives commercial value. Further, as a mechanism for evaporating the essential oil from the bag body, the bag body itself can be made of a gas permeable material to enable evaporation of the essential oil component from the fiber structure of the bag body.

3. 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the internal structure of the container has a housing structure that can smoothly perform the functions of heat generation and chemical evaporation based on the hydration reaction between the heating element 200 and the transpiration substance 100. ..

For that purpose, a partition 600 at the time of storing both the heating element 200 and the transpiration substance 100 and a water supply structure for surely achieving the hydration reaction are required, and particularly from the heating element 200 to the transpiration substance 100. It is necessary to devise the structure related to heat conduction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, 700 indicates a door body as an opening / closing means configured to be operable from the case 400 in the partition 600. Further, 300'indicates water as a medium for conducting a hydration reaction.

Further, since a material having heat resistance to the heat generation temperature of the heating element is required, a heat resistant synthetic resin material is used when the hard case 400 is used. The same applies to the case of the bag body 300, and a heat-resistant cloth material or non-woven fabric is selected.

4. As for the operation mechanism for causing the hydration reaction by the contact between the heating element and water, generally, the operation mechanism is provided outside the container so that the hydration reaction can be caused from the outside of the container by crushing the water storage part or the like. ..

For example, when the heating element is powdered calcium oxide, a water bag is stored in the powder and pressed from the outside such as a hard case or a flexible storage bag (pressing portion N in FIG. 2) to obtain water. An operating mechanism is conceivable that crushes the bag and causes a hydration reaction with calcium oxide.

[VI. Application areas]
1. 1. The above-mentioned techniques related to the heating element and the transpiration substance are known techniques as single substances or a combination technique thereof. However, by combining the heating element and the transpiration substance, it is possible to provide a technology peculiar to the application field of the commercial equipment, that is, the selection of the type of heating element, the selection of the type of transpiration substance, and the amount of each used. By changing the environmental conditions such as the amount of water for the hydration reaction, it is possible to construct a system based on a business model that has never existed in various application fields.

By examining the application conditions of the heating element, the transpiration substance, and the hydration reaction medium as described below, it is possible to provide an environment improvement technique based on essential oil transpiration in various application fields.

2. 2. Application site of the present invention (1) The application most suitable as an application field fulfills the function of combining a heating element and a transpiration substance in a short time in a narrow space, and is suitable for human mental stability and health in the narrow space. Contribution is part of the object of the present invention.

That is, if a device made of a combination of a heating element and a transpiration substance of the present technology is provided in each room of the hotel as an application in a narrow space, it is possible to give a positive effect on the health of hotel guests. If the technology can be applied from the aspect of health consciousness and the application field can be established, the scope and effectiveness of the application field of essential oil evaporation can be expanded and contribute to the construction of a new business model related to the hotel business.

If the technology of the present invention is applied to a hotel business that is considered to be used frequently, the size of hotel guest rooms, prevention of fragrance transfer to furniture and fixtures in the room, effective time, selection menu of customer usage patterns, price range, etc. The technology of the present invention in the hotel service industry can be established, and various business models can be constructed.

(2) Effective narrow space Based on the hotel accommodation room, the effective time of the transpiration substance is set based on the guest room space of 15m ^{2 to} 30m ² , and the functional amount of the heating element and the transpiration substance is calculated. .. Specifically, the effective time of medicinal effect, the amount of hydration reaction of the heating element and the effective reaction time, the amount of transpiration substance used, the time until the fragrance disappears, etc. in the narrow space of the hotel accommodation room showed the following values. ..

That was subjected to hydration reaction in 10 m ² 30 m ² of the room space aroma components using quicklime 3g essential oil 2 g used to react water 3～5Mml. The exothermic reaction time was about 4 minutes (perfume rate 3%), and the essential oil was transpired, and the effective time of the initial scent was within about 10 to 30 minutes. After that, it took about 180 minutes (3 hours) to about 540 minutes (9 hours) for the scent in the room generated by transpiration to disappear.

It can be inferred from these figures that the scent due to the evaporation of the essential oil differs slightly depending on the size of the room, but about 30 minutes after the evaporation of the essential oil due to the hydration reaction is an effective scent time during which the scent can be perceived. Moreover, the hydration reaction time of quicklime lasts for about 4 minutes, and it takes 3 to 9 hours until the scent in the room is finally lost (feeling that the scent has disappeared). As a premise of such values, 3 grams of quicklime as a heating element and 2 grams of transpiration material were used.

It should be ^{noted, 10m 2, 15m 2, 30m} 3 were classified as type try and transpiration the effective time of the original scent of ² 10m ² in about 30 minutes out of the size of the room 10m ² ~30m ^2, about the 15m ² There was a difference of about 10 minutes between 20 minutes and 30 m ² . Further, the time until fragrant disappears, the 10 m ² to about 9 hours, in 15 m ² to about 6 hours, with the difference that 30 m ² At 9 hours resulted.

In short, it was found that the effective time of the medicinal ingredient based on the evaporation of the essential oil varies by 2 to 3 times depending on the size of the room. Therefore, when constructing a business model in which the essential oil transpiration device is actually used in a hotel room, the amount of transpiration material based on hydrated sheet and the amount of heating element are set in advance based on the type of room size, and several types are used. Must be contained within the transpiration standard.

(3) Construction of an essential oil evaporation system for fragrances, etc. i) When bringing into a hotel as an aromatherapy product consisting of a combination of a heating element and a transpiration substance, it is not simply a sales business of a product combining a heating element and a transpiration substance. As a general rule, the heating element uses calcium oxide, etc., but builds a business model that allows the essential oil to be freely refilled in the case and the selection of chemicals and chemicals according to the taste of the customer and the purpose of use of the hotel. Is required.

Therefore, as for the transpiration substance, the hotel side prepares several kinds of medicinal properties in advance, and the hotel side, which is the supplier or the consumer of the transpiration substance, can select the medicinal properties and use them according to the taste of the customer. Build a system.

ii) If the mechanism of essential oil evaporation such as air fresheners is grasped as a system apart from the manufacturing and sales business model that sells such aromatherapy as a product and puts it on the implementation route, the amount and concentration of essential oil, the heat generation timing of the heating element, and the heat generation timing of the heating element, Correlation between heat generation time and essential oil amount, heat generation remaining amount display, etc., and the effective space of the room derived from these correlations, customer preference, effective time zone of the day within the room stay time, characteristics of the target customer group, etc. Can be further added to construct such comprehensive information as a system.

These systems can also construct various information in a narrow space room such as a hotel three-dimensionally, and construct a system from a technical aspect as, for example, an essential oil evaporation system in the hotel industry.

Execute processing etc.

[Outline of processing of essential oil evaporation system]
Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 8, an outline of a series of processes executed by the system server 10, the maker terminal 20, and the operator terminal 30 constituting the essential oil evaporation system of this embodiment will be described.

First, the hotel operator, which is the provider, determines the type and number (quantity) of the aromatherapy products to be purchased according to the aromatherapy products, and the number of aromatherapy products to be consumed is reduced or consumed. An order for an aromatherapy product to the manufacturer terminal 20 is placed via the public communication network 50 (step S1).

The maker terminal 20 that has received the order for the aromatherapy product from the business terminal 30 (step S2) delivers the received type and number of aromatherapy products (step S3). For delivery of this aromatherapy product, for example, the delivery company transports the type and number (quantity) of the aromatherapy product according to the order from the warehouse of the manufacturer, and the aromatherapy product is received by the hotel company. (Step S4). Here, in the aromatherapy product of this embodiment, a heating element, water, and a transpiration substance are packaged as an integrated unit, and a special case (for example, a hotel name or a characteristic pattern is printed) according to the customer. This package can be freely refilled in a special case for each hotel operator.

The maker terminal 20 transmits the product data of the aromatherapy product delivered to the hotel operator to the system server 10 (step S4). This product data is composed of the types of aromatherapy products delivered to the hotel operator, the date of manufacture, the expiration date, and the like. When the system server 10 receives the product data from the maker terminal 20 (step S6), the system server 10 registers the product data in the internal storage device (HDD or the like) for each hotel operator and each aromatherapy product.

The system server 10 periodically (for example, on a daily basis) checks the product data for each hotel operator and each aromatherapy product registered in the storage device, and performs the expiration date management process of the product data (step S7). .. Then, when there is an expired aromatherapy product, the system server 10 transmits the corresponding product data to the business terminal 30 (step S8).

If the received expired aromatherapy product remains in inventory, the business terminal 30 transmits the returned product to the manufacturer terminal 20 (step S8). In this process, the business terminal 30 prohibits the use of the corresponding product and also orders a substitute product at the same time. At this time, the alternative product may be the same type of aromatherapy product, or another type of aromatherapy product that consumes a lot, judging that the inventory will not be consumed for a long time.

The maker terminal 20 that has received the return of the product from the business terminal 30 and the order for the substitute product (step S10) delivers the received type and number of aromatherapy products (step S11). As a result, the type and number (quantity) of aromatherapy products according to the order are transported from the manufacturer's warehouse to the customer and received (step S11). In this case, the maker who manages the maker terminal 20 stores the data of the returned aromatherapy products and periodically analyzes the types of the aromatherapy products with a large number of returned goods. As a result, it is possible to discontinue product development in which aromatherapy products are not consumed by the manufacturer and switch to new product development, and it is possible to effectively utilize the returned product data.

The processes in steps S1 to S12 described above are product deadline management processes based on the product data of the aromatherapy product.

The business terminal 30 transmits the guest information to the system server 10 (step S20). The guest information includes, for example, reservation information of the guest at the hotel, product data of the aromatherapy product used by the reserved guest, inventory information of the aromatherapy product managed by the business terminal 30 and the like.

When the system server 10 receives the guest information (step S21), the system server 10 registers the guest information in an internal storage device (HDD or the like) for each guest. The system server 10 executes a product analysis process for aromatherapy products that are often used based on guest information (step S22). In general, odors and scents reflect many personal tastes, so there are many opportunities to select your favorite aromatherapy products many times. Therefore, by analyzing the guest information, it is possible to extract frequently used aromatherapy products based on the guest information.

The system server 10 transmits the analyzed aromatherapy product, which is often used, to the business operator terminal 30 as a product ordering proposal (reference) (step S23). Upon receiving the product order proposal (reference) from the system server 10 (step S24), the business terminal 30 determines the type and number of aromatherapy products according to the proposal (step S25). The decision here will be executed by ordering the aromatherapy product from the business operator terminal 30 to the manufacturer terminal 20 (step S1).

The processes in steps S20 to S25 described above are product ordering proposal processes for aromatherapy products based on guest information of the hotel operator.

[VII. About the essential oil evaporation method and the multi-functionality of the device in hotel rooms]
1. 1. Safety (1) The essential oil evaporation method and its apparatus of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the essential oil evaporation-related technology) are chemical without using any heat reduction by electricity, fire, gas, physical means, etc. for the heating element. In order to adopt a heat generating means only for water reaction, it is necessary to ensure safety such as heat generation. Such safety requires a technical configuration that can cut off excessive heat generation, excessive heat generation time, and the like as much as possible.

(2) The safety of the heating element is often associated with the essential oil evaporation-related technology, and in order to prevent defects in these heating elements, a sensor that can quickly recognize when a phenomenon based on the defect occurs. Have a function. The sensor function attaches a heat sensor to the heating element itself or to the heating element case, and when a constant temperature of the heating element is detected, notifies the manager or hotel employee of a predetermined department by operating the notification means. ..

The heat sensor and the reporting means are configured to automatically activate bells, colored lights and other notifying means to notify hotel guests when a dangerous temperature is reached immediately. In addition to the technology that operates by detecting the notification device installed in the guest room with a sensor in the hotel guest room, the dangerous temperature notification means has a detector installed in the mechanism part of the essential oil evaporation by the heating element, and exceeds a certain level. When the high temperature is detected, the detection information can be transmitted to the notification means installed in the guest room to notify the notification. In response to the occurrence of such a dangerous state, a means for stopping the exothermic reaction of the heating element itself is adopted together with such a notification means.

2. 2. Customer's request (1) When the essential oil evaporation related technology is installed in the hotel guest room, the essential oil evaporation is a technology aimed at aromatherapy, so the type and concentration of the scent, the evaporation time of the scent, and the scent The transpiration timing and the like can be selected according to the customer's preference.

(2) In order to realize the essential oil evaporation-related technology that meets the needs of the guests, the counter clerk asks questions when checking in at the hotel counter to confirm the requests, and confirm in advance when making a reservation. By the method, the guest's preference is known, and the essential oil evaporation related technology suitable for it is installed indoors.

In this way, except when the hotel installs the essential oil evaporation-related technology indoors, the customer selects the essential oil evaporation-related technology when entering the room, selects the essential oil evaporation-related technology of his / her own preference, and is complacent. You can choose the hotel room environment that you can.

The room is equipped with several types of essential oil products in advance so that the customer can easily select them, and the specified amount of heating element for evaporation of the essential oil can be selected according to one's preference. In addition, legal restrictions between the parties are also required so that the responsibility for selection is attributed to the customer side, leaving it to the customer's choice.

3. 3. Elimination of stains on equipment due to essential oil evaporation in the guest room (1) Due to the essential oil evaporation-related technology, the scent and odor of essential oil evaporation may adhere to clothes and furniture in the room. In the event of such a situation, the hotel is responsible for removing it and must regularly work to remove the scent of the essential oil transpiration.

As another means of avoiding the transfer scent, a component is selected so that the transfer scent does not adhere to the solid substance other than in the air when the essential oil to be transpired is selected. That is, a component that does not propagate beyond a predetermined space distance is selected, and a transpiration component is selected so that the component disappears in the air or falls on the floor surface before the transfer scent propagates and adheres to the indoor solid object.

(2) In the used essential oil evaporator, calcium carbonate (lime) and the remaining amount of essential oil remain in the storage container. The device in which such residual components remain may be discarded or the storage container may be reused and regenerated. When it is disposed of, it is necessary to select the material of the heating element and the material of the storage container so that it will not be subject to secondary pollution. In particular, the storage container is made of paper and the heating element. Is not subject to phytotoxicity as a residue (calcium carbonate) due to the hydration reaction of calcium oxide.

[VII. Specificity of usage pattern]
1. 1. The timing of evaporation of essential oils such as fragrances and air fresheners is set according to the application.
Especially when setting the usage in the hotel guest room, the most effective usage pattern is to set the timing so that it functions from a few minutes before going to bed for the main purpose of mental stability of the guest, comfort of fatigue, and a good night's sleep. ..

Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly explain to the guest who is the user, and technically, it is possible to select the timing of the guest, that is, to select any functional timing according to the physical condition of the guest from just before going to bed, which is simple. Add simple operation technology that allows you to start functions. For example, the container case is provided with an ON operation mechanism with a timer.

2. 2. Hydration function structure that triggers the hydration reaction of the heating element Technology of injecting water from outside the container and how to store the reaction water separately from the heating element in the container in advance and how the stored reaction water generates heat It can be divided into techniques for contacting the body.

(1) A structural means for forming a water injection port in a container, which is a technique for injecting reaction water from outside the container, and injecting water into the container by means such as a spoid to cause a contact reaction with a heating element can be used. At this time, the reaction water can be absorbed by a water-absorbing material such as a sponge, and the reaction water can be gradually supplied to the heating element.

(2) The hydration reaction water is stored in the container. The reaction water is forcibly brought into contact with the heating element by external energy to cause a hydration reaction. For that purpose, as shown in FIG. 2, a water bag 300 of reaction water is arranged adjacent to the heating element 200, and the water bag 300 is crushed by pressing with a finger from outside the container 400 to crush the reaction water. And the heating element 200 are brought into contact with each other to cause a hydration reaction to obtain an exothermic reaction.

(3) Since the operation that triggers the reaction between the heating element 200 and the reaction water is basically performed from the outside of the container 400, it is necessary to consider the related configuration of the container 400 and the reaction water. For example, a flexible material pressing portion N is provided in a part of the container, and the water bag 300 is closely arranged inside the pressing portion, and the water bag 300 is destroyed by the pressing operation of the pressing portion N. The structure can be such that it comes into contact with the adjacent heating element 200.

3. 3. About the capacity and shape design of the container We will adopt a shape design that is easy to use for guests as a user, easy to operate and easy to see, and can be placed at the bedside of the bed, especially when it is used just before going to bed. For example, it can be placed on the bedside shelf of the bed, the capacity is as small as possible and it is easy to handle, and the essential oil is used in consideration of the air flow of the air conditioning in the room, especially in consideration of the position and posture of the furniture and fixtures. It is configured so that it can be placed in a position where the transpiration efficiency can be most effectively exhibited.

Therefore, if the shape of the container is flat and flat, it can be easily placed on the bedside of the bed without getting in the way, and it is convenient for a large amount of storage on the hotel side and does not interfere with the space of the room. Furthermore, an adhesive with a release paper is applied to the outer surface of the container, and it adheres to a predetermined place in the room, for example, a place where the transpiration component easily diffuses according to the flow of air conditioning air in the room, such as a wall surface or furniture. Then, set the most effective position for a good night's sleep and mental stability.

In this way, the shape, size, installation position, and the like of the container can be appropriately selected according to the usage environment. It should be noted that the structure may be such that a cognitive sound is emitted at the same time as the heat generated by the heating element due to a hydration reaction or the like, and the mental stability can be promoted with a faint silence.

Although the present invention has been described above through the above-described examples, the present invention is not limited thereto. Further, each of the above-mentioned effects is merely a list of the most preferable effects arising from the present invention, and the effects according to the present invention are not limited to those described in the present invention.
