Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Problem] To provide an interior design that matches the atmosphere of a room and to diffuse phytoncide effectively into the room. SOLUTION: Air from an air pump 10 passes through an air tube 41 into a glass container 21 of a mixing section 20, and becomes a phytoncide mixed gas together with phytoncide fine particles evaporated from a phytoncide generating agent 25 and passes through an air tube 42. It is sent to the diverging unit 30. At this time, the air flow in the glass container 21 hits the surface of the phytoncide generating agent 25 and promotes evaporation of the phytoncide fine particles. The phytoncide mixed gas generates water bubbles from a mixed gas injection hole 34 at the bottom 33 of the cylindrical glass container 31, and is diffused into the room through an opening 32 at the top of the glass container 31. [Effect] The phytoncide mixed gas contains a moderate amount of water and makes the room close to a natural forest bath.

As shown in FIG. 1, the phytoncide diffuser of the present invention mixes air sent from the air pump 10 with phytoncide fine particles evaporated from the phytoncide generating agent 24, as shown in FIG. The mixing unit 20 sends the phytoncide mixed gas to the diverging unit 30 and the diverging unit 30 that diffuses the phytoncide mixed gas sent from the mixing unit 20 into the room. The air tubes 41 and 42 are connected between the air pump 10 and the air inlet 22 of the mixing section 20 and between the mixed gas outlet 23 and the diverging section 30 of the mixing section 20, respectively.

[0010] The air pump 10 has the same structure as that used for sending air (air) by expanding and contracting a rubber balloon with a valve by means of a plate that makes an amplitude movement by a small motor, and sending air to a tropical fish tank. It is. Therefore, a commercially available air pump for a tropical fish tank can be used. In the present embodiment, a tropical fish having an air discharge rate of 3 liters per minute and a rating of 4 W / 100 VAC was used. The air pump may have a timer or a variable output (air discharge amount). The description of the power cord of the air pump is omitted (the same applies hereinafter).

As shown in FIG. 2, the mixing unit 20 has a container body 21 which is a wide-mouthed glass container (round bottle) having a diameter of about 10 cm and a height of about 8 cm. The lid 22 is provided to hermetically close the lid. Two holes, an air inflow hole 23 and a mixed gas outflow hole 24, are formed in the upper surface of the lid 22, and air tube plugs 43, 43 fitted to the inner diameter of the air tube are attached to the respective holes. An air tube 41 from the air pump 10 is inserted and connected to the air tube plug 43 of the air inlet hole 23, and an air tube 42 to the diverging section 30 is inserted into the air tube plug 43 of the mixed gas outlet hole 24. Connected. In this embodiment, as the air tube 40 (41, 42), a transparent vinyl hose having a diameter of about 10 mm, which is commercially available for a tropical fish tank, was used. The container body 21 does not necessarily have to be a round glass container, but by using a glass or plastic transparent container, the remaining amount of the phytoncide generating agent 25 inside can be visually recognized. The container body 21 and the lid 22 are provided with screw threads and screw grooves so that they can be freely attached and detached. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lid 22 has been removed from the container main body 21. Since the air tubes 40 (41, 42) are connected to the lid 22, the lid 22 is fixed and the container main body 21 is rotated. It is preferable to attach and detach it.

In the present embodiment, the phytoncide generator 25 is an aqueous solution or gel of natural tree leaf extract essence consisting of α-binene, β-binene, cineol, limonene, caffeine, hibaoil, menthol, linalool, and other terpene-based ten or more kinds of components. It is processed into a shape. As the phytoncide generator 25, a commercially available fragrance containing phytoncide may be used, and it may be processed into a liquid or a gel, or a solid or a granule. When the phytoncide generating agent is placed in the air, the phytoncide fine particles evaporate from the surface. However, as in the present embodiment, the phytoncide generating agent 25 is put into the glass container 21 and air is blown to promote the evaporation of the phytoncide fine particles. A phytoncide mixed gas in which phytoncide particles and air are mixed can be created.
