FIGS. 1 and 2 are illustrations of an air conditioner fragrance cassette according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an illustration showing an attachment state of the cassette to an air conditioner.

An air conditioner cassette A according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, a fragrance 1 is filled in a casing 2 formed in a flat shape and formed to have air permeability, and as shown in FIG. In the space Q between the plurality of louvers 22 provided at the opening of the outlet 21, substantially the entirety is housed, and it is detachably attachable.

By blowing air from the air conditioner B, the scent can be supplied from the casing 2 into the room, and by utilizing the awakening effect and the calming effect of the fragrance 1, the person in the room is refreshed and the stress is relieved. And work efficiency and indoor environment.

Further, by changing the type of the fragrance 1, different fragrances can be enjoyed according to the mood and atmosphere at that time. The fragrance 1 includes a deodorant.

The configuration of the air conditioner fragrance cassette A is as follows.
The details will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The fragrance cassette A for an air conditioner according to the present invention comprises:
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, louver fittings 3, 3 for holding the louver 22 are provided at both ends of the above-mentioned casing 2 for accommodating the fragrance 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the louver mount 3 is
A plurality of louvers provided at the indoor outlet 21 of the air conditioner B
In FIG. 12, two adjacent louvers 22, 22 are respectively constituted by a pair of holding pieces 3a, 3a capable of holding.

Further, one end of the casing 2 is provided with a fragrance filling port 4 for filling the fragrance 1 (see FIG. 2).

A cover 5 is detachably attached to the fragrance filling port 4, and one of the two louver fittings 3 is connected to the cover 5. That is, the holding pieces 3a, 3a formed in a hairpin shape forming the louver attachment 3
Are connected to the upper and lower sides of the lid 5.

The front side wall 6 and the back side wall 7 forming the front side and the back side of the casing 2 are provided with slit-shaped air intake ports 8 and fragrance outflow openings 9 at opposing positions to allow ventilation. The blast from the air conditioner B is taken in from the air inlet 8 to promote the generation of fragrance from the fragrance 1 and to flow out from the fragrance outlet 9 together with the generated fragrance.

The air inlet 8 and the aroma outflow opening 9 are provided at positions deviated to one side end of the front side wall 6 and the back side wall 7, and are simultaneously shielded by a shutter body 10 described later. When it is shielded, the fragrance from the fragrance 1 is prevented from flowing out into the room.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shutter body 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a length substantially half of that of the casing 2, and is attached so as to surround the body of the casing 2. , Which are slidably movable in the longitudinal direction of the casing 2.

The opening amount of the air inlet 8 and the fragrance outflow opening 9 can be adjusted steplessly from the fully opened state to the fully closed state by the sliding amount of the shutter body 10, so that the fragrance amount supplied to the room can be adjusted. Can be adjusted appropriately.

Therefore, if the shutter body 10 is slid to the fully closed state, the supply of fragrance can be stopped and only air conditioning can be performed.

Note that a projection 11 is formed on the front side of the shutter body 10 so that a finger or the like can be engaged with the shutter body 10 so that the shutter body 10 can be easily slid.

Since the fragrance cassette A for the air conditioner is configured as described above, the cassette A can be easily attached and removed from the outside of the air conditioner B.

That is, after the casing 2 of the fragrance cassette A for an air conditioner is filled with an appropriate fragrance 1 and the cover 5 is attached, the casing 5 is provided at the opening of the air outlet 21 on the indoor side of the air conditioner B. The fragrance cassette A is inserted into the gap Q between the plurality of louvers 22, and at this time, the louver mounting members 3, 3 can be easily mounted simply by being sandwiched between two adjacent louvers 22, 22.

Further, in this case, the cassette A is almost entirely accommodated in the gap Q between the louvers 22, 22, and there is almost no portion protruding outside the air outlet 21 of the air conditioner B. It is smart in appearance and does not detract from aesthetics.

Then, the shutter body 10 is slid according to the size and taste of the room to adjust the opening amount of the air intake port 8 and the fragrance outflow opening 9 so that the fragrance is drifted in the room according to a desired fragrance supply amount. be able to.

Alternatively, it is also possible to mix fragrances. In this case, the amount of fragrance supplied from each fragrance 1 may be appropriately adjusted by operating the shutter body 10 of each cassette A. .

In the present embodiment, the louver fitting 3 is constituted by the holding pieces 3a, 3a formed in a hairpin shape, but the shape is not limited, and the louver fitting 3 can be locked to the louver 22. Anything is fine.

The louver fitting 3 can be eliminated if the entire air-conditioning fragrance cassette A can be accommodated in the gap Q between the louvers 22 and 23.

In this case, for example, the thickness of the casing 2 can be made slightly larger than the size of the gap Q between the louvers 22, 22, and the casing 2 can be squeezed and supported by the adjacent louvers 22, 22.

As another embodiment, the shutter body 10 included in the fragrance cassette A for an air conditioner according to the present invention can be moved on and off of the air conditioner B or in conjunction with a timer program. It can also be configured.

For example, the one shown in FIG.
10 is connected to the screw-type linear actuator 30, and the drive motor 31 of the screw-type linear actuator 30 is connected to the start circuit of the air conditioner B, and the ON switch of the air conditioner B or the timer is operated. Then, the drive motor 31 is rotated forward to slide the shutter body 10 in the opening direction, and when the off switch of the air conditioner B is operated, the drive motor 31 is rotated backward to slide the shutter body 10 in the closing direction. It was done.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 32 denotes a screw shaft;
Is a bearing, and 35 is a screw cylinder screwed to the screw shaft 32 and connected to the shutter body 10.

As described above, the movement of the shutter body 10 is turned on / off of the air conditioner B or linked to the timer program, so that the operation of the air conditioner B is started or a desired time is appropriately set. The fragrance can be supplied to the room in a short time, and further, there is no fear of forgetting to open or close the shutter body 10, and the usability can be improved.

In order to link the movement of the shutter body 10 to the on / off state of the air conditioner B or the timer program, the shutter body 10 is connected to a latching solenoid or a damper motor in addition to the above-described configuration. Various configurations are conceivable and are not particularly limited.
