Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、送風機を用いて揮散性薬剤を気中に放出する送風式薬剤放散装置に関し、さらに詳しくは、一度使用した後に使用を中止した休止時に揮散性薬剤が自然に気中に放出することを防止できる送風式薬剤放散装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
特許文献１に、吸い込み口と吐き出し口を有する装置本体と、この装置本体内に設けた送風機と、揮散性薬剤を備え、送風機を駆動することで揮散性薬剤に送風して揮散性薬剤を吐き出し口から気中に放出する送風式薬剤放散装置が開示されている。
【０００３】
特許文献２に、装置本体の空気吸入窓、空気排出窓に蓋を、それぞれ開閉自在に設けた送風式の薬剤放散装置が開示されている。

【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
特許文献１に開示された送風式薬剤放散装置は、揮散性薬剤を装置本体にセットし、送風機を駆動して使用している際に、送風機を停止して使用を中止した休止時には揮散性薬剤が吸い込み口、吐き出し口から気中に連通するので、揮散性薬剤が自然に気中に放出されることを防止できない。
このために、休止期間中に揮散性薬剤が順次気中に放出されて減少し、無駄である。
【０００６】
前述のことを解消するには、特許文献２に開示されたように、装置本体の吸い込み口と吐き出し口に蓋を設け、使用時には蓋を開放して空気が装置本体内に流通するようにし、休止時には蓋を閉塞して空気が装置本体内に流通しないようにすることが考えられる。
【０００７】
しかし、前述のようにすると、蓋を設けなければならず、部品点数が多くコストが高くなる。
【０００８】
本発明は、前述の課題に鑑みなされたものであって、その目的は、休止期間中に揮散性薬剤が気中に自然に放出されることを防止できると共に、コストの安い送風式薬剤放散装置を提供することである。
【０００９】

第１通気部９と第２通気部１０は、複数の開口９ｂ，１０ｂを周方向に間隔を置いて非対称位置にそれぞれ形成したもので、

薬剤収納容器３は、その上方部分３ｃが、前記容器挿入口６に密嵌するようにした送風式薬剤放散装置である。
【００１５】
【作用】
第１の発明によれば、薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態で設置すると共に、送風機２を駆動することで、薬剤収納容器３内部に空気が流通するから、揮散性薬剤４を気中に放散できる。
また、薬剤収納容器３を第２の状態で設置すると、その第１・第２通気部９，１０が閉塞されるので、休止期間中に揮散性薬剤４が気中に自然に放出されることを防止できる。
また、薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態と第２の状態に表裏反転して設置すれば良く、他の部材を設ける必要がないから、コストの安い送風式薬剤放散装置である。
【００１６】
第２の発明によれば、薬剤収納容器３の第１通気部９、第２通気部１０の開口面積が大きく、その薬剤収納容器３内部にスムーズに空気が流通するから、揮散性薬剤４を気中にスムーズに放散できる。
【００１７】
第３の発明によれば、薬剤収納容器３の表裏面が円形状で、第１通気部９と第２通気部１０はほぼ半円形状で非対称位置に開口されているので、経時的にひずみなどが起こり難く、耐久性に優れた薬剤収納容器である。
【００１８】
第４の発明によれば、送風機２のシロッコファンが第２開口部８から空気を効率良く吸い込みするので、送風能力の小さな送風機２を用いることができる。
よって、送風機２の駆動消費電力が少なく、送風機２を電池で駆動するようにした場合に、長期間に亘って駆動することができる。
【００１９】
第５の発明によれば、薬剤収納容器３の表裏面に、第１通気部９と第２通気部１０を同じ形、寸法で周方向に隣接して開口して形成できるので、その薬剤収納容器３内部にスムーズに空気が流通する。
【００２０】
第６の発明によれば、薬剤収納容器３と容器挿入口６との間から空気が流通することがなく、送風機２による送風空気の全量を薬剤収納容器３内に流通させることができる。
【００２１】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１に示すように、装置本体１と、この装置本体１に設けた送風機２と、薬剤収納容器３と、この薬剤収納容器３内に収納した揮散性薬剤４で送風式薬剤放散装置を構成している。
前記装置本体１は容器設置部５を有し、この容器設置部５は容器挿入口６と第１開口部７と第２開口部８を有する空間である。これに限ることはなく第１・第２開口部７，８と直角方向の２面が開口した形状でも良いし、左右から挿入する形状でも良い。
前記送風機２はファン２ａとモータ２ｂを備え、そのモータ２ｂでファン２ａを駆動することで前記第１開口部７と第２開口部８とに亘って空気が流通するようにしてある。
【００２２】
前記薬剤収納容器３は、前記容器設置部５に表裏反転して設置可能で、その表面３ａに第１通気部９が形成され、裏面３ｂに第２通気部１０が形成してある。この第１・第２通気部９，１０と前記第１・第２開口部７，８は、図１に示すように薬剤収納容器３を容器設置部５に、その表面３ａが第１開口部７側と対向した第１の状態で設置すると第１開口部７と第１通気部９が連通し、かつ第２開口部８と第２通気部１０が連通し、この薬剤収納容器３を表裏反転して容器設置部５に、図２に示すように、その裏面３ｂが第１開口部７側と対向した第２の状態で設置すると第１・第２通気部９，１０が容器設置部５でそれぞれ閉塞されるようにしてある。
【００２３】
このようであるから、薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態で設置し、送風機２を駆動することで、薬剤収納容器３内に空気が流通して揮散性薬剤４を気中に放出できる。
また、薬剤収納容器３を第２の状態で設置することで、薬剤収納容器３内部が気中と遮断され、その内部に収納した揮散性薬剤４が自然に気中に放出されることを防止できる。
【００２４】
次に、各部の具体形状の一例を説明するが、これに限ることはない。
前記装置本体１は図１と図３に示すように、一側縦壁１１と他側縦壁１２と中間縦壁１３と一端縦壁１４と他端縦壁１５と上壁１６と下壁１７で第１中空部１ａと第２中空部１ｂを有する箱形状で、上壁１６の第１中空部１ａと対向した部分を切欠きして前記容器挿入口６とすることで、その第１中空部１ａを容器設置部５としている。
前記一側縦壁１１の上部寄りに第１開口部７を形成し、中間縦壁１３の下部寄りに第２開口部８を形成してある。
この第２開口部８で第１中空部１ａ（容器設置部５）と第２中空部１ｂが連通し、その第２中空部１ｂ内に送風機２が取付けてある。前記上壁１６に第３開口部１８が形成され、送風機２を駆動することで第２中空部１ｂ内に空気が流通するようにしてある。
【００２５】
前記薬剤収納容器３は図４（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、表面板２０と裏面板２１と周面板２２で中空形状で、図１に示すように、その中空部に揮散性薬剤４が収納してある。
前記表面板２０（前記表面３ａ）に第１通気部９が形成され、前記裏面板２１（前記裏面３ｂ）に第２通気部１０が形成してある。
【００２６】
前記第１開口部７と第２開口部８は上下方向に位置がずれ、前記第１通気部９と第２通気部１０も上下方向に位置がずれている。例えば、第１開口部７と第１通気部９が上方位置に形成され、第２開口部８と第２通気部１０が下方位置に形成してある。
そして、薬剤収納容器３を図１に示すように第１の状態で設置すると第１開口部７と第１通気部９がそれぞれ上方位置で連通し、第２開口部８と第２通気部１０がそれぞれ下方位置で連通する。
前記薬剤収納容器３を表裏反転して図２に示すように第２の状態で設置すると、第２通気部１０が下方位置となり、第１開口部７が上方位置であるから、第２通気部１０が一側縦壁１１の下部寄りで閉塞され、第１通気部９が上方位置となり、第２開口部８が下方位置であるから第１通気部９が中間縦壁１３の上部寄りで閉塞される。
【００２７】
この実施の形態では、図３に示すように装置本体１の上壁１６がほぼ半円形状で一側縦板１１、他側縦板１２、中間縦板１３の上部寄りはほぼ半円形状であり、第１開口部７はほぼ半円形の上開口縁７ａと直線状の下開口縁７ｂでほぼ上向きの半円形状であると共に、第２開口部８は直線状の上開口縁８ａとほぼ半円形の下開口縁８ｂでほぼ下向きの半円形状である。
また、薬剤収納容器３の表面板２０、裏面板２１はほぼ円板状で、周面板２２は円筒形状である。その表面板２０のほぼ上半分に、第１通気部９がほぼ上向き半円形状、つまり前述の第１開口部７の外周形状と同一形状に形成してある。
前記表面板２１のほぼ下半分に、第２通気部１０がほぼ下向き半円形状、つまり前述の第２開口部８の外周形状と同一形状に形成してある。
【００２８】
このようであるから、第１通気部９、第２通気部１０の開口面積が表面板２０、裏面板２１（表面３ａ、裏面３ｂ）の面積のほぼ半分で、空気をスムーズに流通することができる。
この実施の形態では、第１・第２通気部９，１０をほぼ半円形スリット状の穴９ａ，１０ａを同心状に複数形成してある。
これは、揮散性薬剤４を粒状、好ましくは球状の薬剤含浸体４ａに含浸させ、その薬剤含浸体４ａを直接薬剤収納体３内部に収納したので、その薬剤含浸体４ａがこぼれ落ちないようにするためであって、前述の薬剤含浸体４ａを網袋などの通気性袋に入れて収納した場合には第１・第２通気口９，１０を連続した半円形状とすることができる。前述の粒状の薬剤含浸体４ａの他に、貫通孔を有するハニカム状、格子状など構造体を薬剤含浸体として用いることができる。
【００２９】
なお、第１・第２開口部７，８を左右向き（一端縦壁１３、他端縦壁１４に向かう）のほぼ半円形状とし、第１・第２通気部９，１０も同様に左右向きのほぼ半円形状としても良い。つまり、非対称位置にそれぞれ形成すれば良い。
また、第１・第２開口部７，８、第１・第２通気部９，１０は、ほぼ矩形状、ほぼ三角形状など、その形状は任意とすることができる。例えば、装置本体１の上壁１６を平板状として表面板１１、裏面板１２の上部を矩形状で、薬剤収納容器３の周面板２２を矩形状とし、第１・第２開口部７，８、第１・第２通気部９，１０をほぼ矩形状としても良い。
【００３０】
すなわち、第１通気部９、第２通気部１０を薬剤収納容器３の表面板２０、裏面板２１の面積のほぼ半分で、かつ位置がずれたものとし、第１・第２開口部７，８を第１・第２通気部９，１０と同一大きさで、位置がずれたものとすれば良い。
【００３１】
前記薬剤収納容器３の上部寄りと装置本体１の容器設置部５の容器挿入口６との間が気密されるようにすることが好ましい。
例えば、図４に示すように薬剤収納容器３の上方部分３ｃを他の部分（表面板２６、裏面板２１、周面板２２）よりも大きくし、その表面２３と裏面２４及び両端面２５を下向きのテーパ面形状として、前記容器挿入口６の開口縁に密嵌するようにする。
なお、容器挿入口６の開口縁に気密材を装着しても良い。
【００３２】
前述のようにすることで、薬剤収納容器３を容器設置部５に設置した際に、上方部分３ｃが容器挿入口６よりも上方に突出するから、その突出した部分が摘み部の役目を果たす。
なお、摘み部としては、薬剤収納容器３に摘みを設けたり、ひもを設けたりしても良い。
【００３３】
前述の実施の形態では、装置本体１の底壁１７は二重壁形状で、電池収納室１ｃを形成している。この電池収納室１ｃは装置本体１の任意の部分に設けることができる。
この電池収納室１ｃに電池１９が収納され、その電池１９で送風機２のモータ２ｂを駆動するようにしてある。
また、送風機２のファン２ａはシロッコファンであり、第２開口部８を吸い込み口、第３開口部１８を吐き出し口としてあるが、ファン２ａをプロペラファンとした場合には第２開口部８を吐き出し口、第３開口部１８を吸い込み口としても良い。
【００３４】
また、薬剤収納容器３の表面板２０における第１通気部９の周囲及び裏面板２１における第２通気部１０の周囲に図４に仮想線で示すようにシール材２６を設け、図１に示すように第１の状態で設置した場合には第１開口部７と第１通気部９、第２開口部８と第２通気部１０が確実に気密して連通し、図２に示すように第２の状態で設置した場合には第１通気部９、第２通気部１０が確実に閉塞されるようにしても良い。
【００３５】
また、図５に示すように、装置本体１の一側縦壁１１を容器挿入口６までの高さとし、容器設置部５に薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態で設置した場合に、第１通気部９が一側縦壁１１の上端面１１ａよりも上方に位置するようにしても良い。
【００３６】
すなわち、前述の第１の実施の形態における第１開口部７が容器挿入口６よりも上方部分である。
つまり、装置本体１は、容器設置部５に薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態で設置した時に、その第１通気部９を装置本体１外に開口する形状であれば良い。
【００３７】
次に、本発明の第２の実施の形態を説明する。この実施の形態は第１・第２開口部７，８、第１・第２通気部９，１０の形状が前述の第１の実施の形態と相違し、他の構成は同様である。
図６に示すように、装置本体１の一側縦板１１の外周寄りにほぼリング形状の第１開口部７を形成する。この第１開口部７は円形のほぼリング形状が好ましいが、矩形のほぼリング形状、三角形のほぼリング形状でも良い。
前記装置本体１の中間縦板１３のほぼ中央部に第２開口部８を形成する。この第２開口部８は円形が好ましいが、矩形、三角形などでも良い。
この第２開口部８の外周側開口縁８ｃは第１開口部７の内周側開口縁７ｃよりも内側に位置している。
【００３８】
図７（ａ）に示すように、薬剤収納容器３の表面板２０の外周寄りにほぼリング形状の第１通気部９、好ましくは前記第１開口部７と同一形状で同一大きさの第１通気部９を形成する。
図７（ｂ）に示すように、薬剤収納容器３の裏面板２１の中央部に第２通気部１０、好ましくは前記第２開口部８と同一形状で同一大きさの第２通気部１０を形成する。
【００３９】
前記薬剤収納容器３を図８に示すように容器設置部５に第１の状態で設置することで、第１開口部７と第１通気部９が連通すると共に、第２開口部８と第２通気部１０が連通するようにする。
前記薬剤収納容器３を図９に示すように容器設置部５に第２の状態で設置することで、第２通気部１０が第１開口部７よりも内周側に位置して一側縦壁１１で閉塞され、第１通気部９が第２開口部８よりも外周側に位置して中間縦壁１３で閉塞されるようにする。
【００４０】
このようにすれば、第２開口部８がファン２ａの内周寄りに位置するので、ファン２ａをシロッコファンとした場合に効率良く空気を吸い込みできるから、薬剤収納容器３内に空気を効率良く流通することが可能で、その分だけ送風能力の小さな送風機２を用いることができる。
つまり、シロッコファンを用いた送風機２は中央部から空気を効率良く吸い込みする。
【００４１】
なお、図示は省略するが、前述の第１開口部７と第２開口部８、第１通気部９と第２通気部１０をそれぞれ反対の形状としても良い。
つまり、第１開口部７、第１通気部９を中央部に形成し、第２開口部８、第２通気部１０を外周寄りに形成する。
【００４２】
次に、本発明の第３の実施の形態を説明する。この実施の形態は第１・第２開口部７，８、第１・第２通気部９，１０の形状が第１の実施の形態と相違し、他の構成は同様である。
図１０に示すように、第１開口部７と第２開口部８を周方向に間隔を置いて形成した複数の開口部７ｄ，８ｄでそれぞれ形成し、第１開口部７の開口部７ｄと第２開口部８の開口部８ｄを周方向に位置がずれているものとする。
【００４３】
図１１（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように第１通気部９と第２通気部１０を周方向に間隔を置いて形成した複数の開口９ｂ，１０ｂでそれぞれ形成し、第１通気部９の開口９ｂと第２通気部１０の開口１０ｂを周方向に位置がずれたものとする。
【００４４】
そして、薬剤収納容器３を装置本体１の容器設置部５に第１の状態で設置した場合に、第１開口部７の開口部７ｄと第１通気部９の開口９ｂが連通すると共に、第２開口部８の開口部８ｄと第２通気部１０の開口１０ｂが連通し、第２の状態で設置した場合には、第１開口部７の開口部７ｄと第２通気部１０の開口１０ｂがずれて第２通気部１０が閉塞されると共に、第２開口部８の開口部８ｄと第１通気部９の開口９ｂがずれて第１通気部９が閉塞されるようにする。
【００４５】
次に、本発明の第４の実施の形態を図１２〜図１４に基づいて説明する。
前記装置本体１の一側縦壁１１を中間縦壁１３よりも上方に突出して容器設置部５の容器挿入口６と第１開口部７を共通とし、その第１開口部７よりも一側縦壁１１を上方に突出させる。
薬剤収納容器３は図１４に示すように、裏面板２１の上部寄りに第１通気部９、下部寄りに第２通気部１０を有する形状とする。
【００４６】
そして、薬剤収納容器３を図１２に示すように、第１の状態として設置すると、第１通気部９が大気に開口すると共に、第２通気部１０が第２開口部８に連通する。
前記薬剤収納容器３を図１３に示すように、表裏反転して第２の状態として設置すると、第１・第２通気部９，１０が一側縦壁１１でそれぞれ閉塞される。
【００４７】
次に、本発明の第５の実施の形態を図１５〜図１７に基づいて説明する。
前記装置本体１の一側縦壁１１と中間縦壁１３を上壁１６よりも上方に突出して容器設置部５の容器挿入口６を上壁１６よりも上方とし、容器設置部５の上下寸法を大きくする。
第１開口部７は一側縦壁１１の上壁１６よりも上方部分に形成され、ほぼ円形である。第２開口部８もほぼ円形である。
薬剤収納容器３は図１７に示すように、表面板２０の上部寄りにほぼ円形の第１通気部９、裏面板２１の下部寄りにほぼ円形の第２通気部１０を有する形状とする。
【００４８】
そして、薬剤収納容器３を図１５に示すように、第１の状態として設置すると、第１通気部９が第１開口部７に開口すると共に、第２通気部１０が第２開口部８に連通する。
前記薬剤収納容器３を図１６に示すように、表裏反転して第２の状態として設置すると、第２通気部１０が一側縦壁１１で閉塞され、第１通気部９が中間縦壁１３で閉塞される。
【００４９】
前述の各実施の形態において、薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態で設置した時に送風機２が駆動可能となり、第２の状態で設置した時には送風機２を駆動できないようにしても良い。
このようにすることで、使用者が誤って薬剤収納容器３を第２の状態で設置して使用しようとした場合に、送風機２が駆動しないから、誤って設置したことを感知できる。
【００５０】
例えば、図１と図２に示すように、薬剤収納容器３の表面３ａ寄り下面に突起２７を設け、容器設置部５の底面における第１開口部７寄りにスイッチ２８を設け、薬剤収納容器３を第１の状態で設置した時にスイッチ２８がＯＮし、第２の状態で設置した時にはスイッチ２８がＯＮしないようにする。
前記スイッチ２８で送風機２のモータ２ｂに通電するようにしても良いし、このスイッチ２８をモータ２ｂの電気配線の途中に設けても良い。
【００５１】
本発明に用いる揮散性薬剤４としては、常温、送風などの条件で揮散する殺虫剤、忌避剤、害虫成長制御剤、芳香消臭剤、消臭剤、防カビ剤、防菌剤などが挙げられる。
【００５２】
