Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a vaporization device for liquids, and more particularly to a vaporization device for vaporizing a liquid for aroma or deodorization contained in a container body into the air. Things.

[Conventional technology]

Many volatilization devices have been proposed to volatilize volatile liquids in the air for the purpose of aroma, deodorization, or deodorization.

Many of such volatilization devices include, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-2047, a large-diameter head that becomes a volatilization member using a sintered rod of polyethylene particles having water absorption and flexibility. A core member is integrally formed with a small-diameter core member for sucking up liquid connected to the lower surface of the head to form a core, and the core is attached to an inner stopper provided at the mouth of the bottle container. Of the core member is protruded and exposed above the inner stopper, and the tip of the core member is hung into the bottle container through a through hole formed in the bottom surface of the inner stopper, and the chemical in the bottle container is passed through the core member. It is constructed so that it is sucked up to the head and volatilizes into the air from the head protruding and exposed on the inner plug.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, an inner plug member 3 having a cylindrical holding portion 2 formed at the center thereof is fitted into an opening 1a of a glass container main body 1 formed by blow molding or the like. ,
The large-diameter portion 5 at the upper end of the core member 4 whose tip is immersed in the liquid of the container body 1 is engaged with and held by the holding portion 2 of the inner plug member 3, and is attached to the upper surface of the mouth 1 a of the container body 1. The holding member 7 on which the volatilizing member 6 is mounted is mounted, and the large diameter portion 5 at the upper end of the core member 4 is fitted into a hole 7a formed in the center of the holding member 7 so that the core member 4 and the volatilizing member A so-called filter paper type liquid volatilization device which is held in surface contact with the liquid 6 has also been proposed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Among the known liquid volatilization devices, the former volatilization device integrally includes a core member for sucking up the liquid contained in the bottle container and a volatilization member for volatilizing the sucked liquid in the air. Since it is formed of the same material, the core body constituting the volatilization mechanism is easily broken at the connection portion with the head or at the core portion. If the core body is damaged, it cannot be used as a volatilization member.

Also, in the volatilization device, since the head and the core body, which are the volatilization members, are integrally formed using the same material,
Since the capillarity of the head and the core body is the same, the larger the shape of the container body or the greater the volatilization amount, the larger the shape of the head itself needs to be made. It is necessary to increase the amount of liquid sucked up from the core body, so the diameter of the core member must be made large naturally, and it is used for glass bottles so that the reduction state of the stored liquid can be visually judged. In such a case, there is a disadvantage that the appearance of the core deteriorates because the core body is thick.

On the other hand, the latter type of filter paper type volatilization device is manufactured separately with a core member that sucks up the liquid in the container body and a volatilization member that volatilizes the sucked up liquid. Can be replaced, but it is necessary to separately manufacture a holding member for holding the volatilizing member at the mouth of the container body, which requires cumbersome work and assembly of the volatilizing device and increases the number of parts. Therefore, there are many problems to be solved practically, such as inability to reduce the cost of products.

In view of the present situation, the present invention has a very simple structure of the volatilization device, is easy to assemble, and can make the core member having one end immersed in the container holding the liquid as thin as possible. It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid volatilization device capable of surely sucking up the liquid in the container body even if the thickness of the liquid is reduced and ensuring a sufficient volatilization amount.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the liquid evaporating device of the present invention comprises a core member having a capillary force made of a deformed monofilament of a thermoplastic synthetic resin and a porous body having a capillary force, and the core is provided at the center thereof. A holding member for holding the member in contact with the member by piercing or fitting and holding the base end of the core member in a hole formed in the center, and a volatilizing member having a capillary force for fitting the upper end of the holding member. A volatilization mechanism is constituted and a holding member for holding the volatilization mechanism in the container body is provided.

In this invention, in the volatilization mechanism for sucking up the liquid in the container body and volatilizing it in the air, the core member is a capillary tube composed of a deformed monofilament made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin such as polyacetal, nylon or polyolefin. Although it has a force and is formed by an extruder using a die having a diameter similar to the cross-sectional shape of the core body to be obtained, it may be formed by converging and binding filaments.

The holding member for holding the upper end of the core member is formed of, for example, a polyester fiber bundled and bound with an adhesive or the like, or a holder having a capillary force made of a porous body such as a sintered body of polyethylene particles. Preferably, the core member having a large capillary force is used.

Also, depending on the material used for forming the holder, the core member can be pierced into the center of the core member so that they can be held in contact with each other. It is necessary to previously form a hole for fitting and holding the core member.

In addition, the volatilizing member is preferably a deformed monofilament made of a thermoplastic resin constituting the core member, or a member having a larger capillary force than the holding member has. Specifically, thermoplastic synthetic fibers are heat-sealed or the like. Focusing and coupling, and other porous materials such as felt, filter paper, etc. The shape is limited if there is a hole in the center that can hold the holder holding the core member that constitutes the volatilization mechanism. No,
If the whole is a plate shape or a column shape, it can be easily obtained by punching, which is convenient, and the planar shape can be various shapes such as a disk shape, a flower shape, and a heart shape.

The holding member for holding the volatilization mechanism in the container body can be fitted tightly with the mouth of the container body, and can securely engage and hold the holding body for connecting the core member and the volatilization member. Although there is no particular limitation on the structure, it is preferably of a shape that can be integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.

Each of the members constituting the volatilization mechanism has a capillary force. However, the holding member has a stronger capillary force than the core member, and the volatilization member holds the stronger capillary force than the holder. The diameter of the core member can be made extremely small.

[Action]

The liquid volatilization device of the present invention comprises a core member for the liquid accommodated in the container body, a holding member for fitting and holding the upper end of the core member, and a volatilization member for fitting and holding the holding member. Since the volatilization mechanism composed of these members is integrally held at the mouth of the container body by one holding member, a holding mechanism for holding only the volatilization member at the mouth of the container body is required. Instead, the manufacture and assembly of the volatilization device becomes extremely simple.

Further, since the surface of the volatilizing member for volatilizing the liquid directly into the air can be exposed to the maximum, the volatilization efficiency of the liquid is extremely high, and as a result, the volatilizing member can be downsized.

Further, the diameter of the core member can be made extremely small by providing a significant difference in the capillary force between the volatilization member, the holding body and the core member.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the liquid volatilization device of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The liquid evaporator of this invention basically consists of a container body 10
And a holding member 12 for holding a core member 11 and an upper end of the core member.
And a volatilizing member 13 that fits and holds the holding body 12, and a holding member 14 for holding the volatilizing mechanism in the container body 10.

The container body 10 is made of glass obtained by blow molding or the like, and a screw is formed on an outer peripheral surface of a mouth 10a.

The core member 11 constituting the volatilization mechanism has a capillary force and strong rigidity formed by extruding polyacetal into a linear shape having a diameter of about 1 mm using a die having a desired shape, and its length is used. Although it depends on the depth of the container body 10, the length is at least such that the tip reaches the bottom of the container body 10.

The holding member 12 is made of a porous body formed by consolidating and bonding polyester fibers with an adhesive to form a column. The holding member 12 has a stronger capillary force than the core member 11, and has a core member 11 at the center thereof. Depending on the material constituting the holding body 12, the core member 11 can be contacted and held by piercing the center of the holding body 12,
In some cases, it is difficult to hold the contact by piercing, depending on the material used. In such a case, a holding hole having an inner diameter almost equal to the outer diameter of the core member 11 to be used is formed in the center of the holder 12 in advance. It is necessary to keep it.

On the other hand, a volatilization member for volatilizing the liquid into the air 13
Is a 5m thick thermoplastic synthetic resin bundled by heat fusion
A plate-like body of about m is formed, and the obtained plate-like body is punched and formed into a disk shape. Capillary force is even stronger than that of the holder 12, and a punch is applied at the center to give an outer shape. At the same time, a hole for fitting and holding the holding body 12 is provided.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the volatilizing member 13, the holding body 12 and the core member 11 have the upper end of the core member 11 in the center of the holding body 12 and the upper end thereof in contact with the top surface of the holding body 12. A volatilization mechanism is formed by inserting the core member 11 into contact with the holding member 12 which has been held in contact with the core member 11 into a hole formed in the central portion of the volatilization member 13 to form a volatilization mechanism.
Is attached to the holding member 14 fitted to the opening 10a.

The holding member 14 has a cylindrical member whose outer peripheral portion is in close contact with the inner peripheral portion of the mouth portion 10a, is vertically provided on the lower surface of the plate member closing the mouth portion 10a of the container body 10, and the above-mentioned A cylindrical member 15 having an inner peripheral portion closely contacting the outer peripheral portion of the holding member 12 is provided upright. A hole for passing the core member 11 is formed at the center of the plate member. The cylindrical body 15 substantially has a role of a spacer.

Then, the tip of the core member 11 constituting the volatilization mechanism is inserted into the container body 10 through the hole formed in the plate member until the tip reaches the bottom of the container body 11, and the upper end of the core member 11 is inserted. When the holding body 12 whose contact portion is held in contact is fitted into the cylindrical body 15 of the holding member 14, the volatile member 13 is held above the opening of the container body 10 by the cylindrical body 15 of the holding member 14, and the core The liquid sucked up through the member 11 is supplied to the volatilizing member 13 via the holding body 12, and is volatilized from the volatilizing member 13 into the air.

In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes an inner plug member for preventing the holding member 14 from falling off the container body 10, and reference numeral 14a denotes a vent hole.

Further, the liquid contained in the container body 10 is a liquid fragrance, but it is needless to say that a liquid deodorant or deodorant may be used.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the holding member constituting the volatilization device of the present invention.
Unlike the case 14, a cylindrical body 15 for holding the holding body 12 holding the upper end of the core member 11 is vertically suspended from the bottom of the plate member. The gas can be volatilized from the volatilization member 13 via the member 11 and also from the outer peripheral surface of the holder 12.

FIG. 3 is different from the first embodiment in that the volatilizing member 13 has a columnar shape, and only the upper end of the holding body 12 holding the core member 11 is fitted and held under the volatilizing member 13. The outer periphery of the container is protected by a cap 17. When used, the cap 17 is removed from the container body 10 so that the liquid
13 and a part of the holder 12 are volatilized into the air.

FIG. 4 shows another example of the volatilization member 13 used in the liquid volatilization device of the present invention. The whole shape is formed by punching a hard felt so that the plane becomes a petal shape.
The holding member 12 holding the upper end of the core member 11 is fitted into a hole formed at the center of the volatilization member 13.

[Effect of the invention]

The liquid volatilization device of the present invention includes a core member made of a deformed monofilament made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, and the upper end portion of the core member is pierced and held in contact with the core member, or the base end of the core member is inserted into a hole formed in the center portion. A volatilizing mechanism is constituted by a holding body that fits and holds the portion and a volatilizing member that fits and holds the holding body, and the volatilizing mechanism is configured to be held at a mouth of the container body by using a holding member. As compared with the conventional filter paper type liquid vaporizer, it does not require a special holding member to hold the volatile member, and by maximally exposing the surface of the volatile member, a small volatile member can be obtained. However, since a sufficient volatilization effect can be expected, the volatilization device itself can be downsized.

In particular, the liquid volatilization device of the present invention can hold the volatilization member on the mouth of the container body without using any special holding member as described above, so the shape of the volatilization mechanism can be freely selected. This greatly improves the degree of freedom in the design of the volatilization device, and provides a significant difference in the capillary force of each member constituting the volatilization mechanism. Because it can be made thinner, it has a good appearance even when used for a container body that allows the inside to be visually observed, and can supply a sufficient amount of liquid to a volatilizing member that directly volatilizes the liquid. It has the advantage of:
