However, in the conventional incense burner apparatus, the lid member covers the thin plate when the lid member is mounted. The thin plate is small and light. Therefore, in the conventional incense burner apparatus, when a user removes a cover member from a mounting part, a thin plate may protrude from a mounting part by the negative pressure which generate | occur | produces at the time of this removal.
Therefore, in the conventional incense burner apparatus, when a user removed the cover member from the mounting portion, the thin plate may be damaged or the thin plate may be lost.

  The objective of this invention is providing the censer apparatus which prevented the thin plate from jumping out of a mounting part when removing a cover member from a mounting part.

  The censer apparatus of the present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

(1) An insertion port into which a thin plate for setting a fragrance is inserted is formed, and a placement unit for placing the thin plate introduced from the insertion port;
A casing to which the mounting portion and a heating element for heating the flavoring agent on the thin plate are attached;
In the censer provided with a lid member that is detachable with respect to the upper part of the casing and covers the thin plate when mounted,
The mounting unit is provided with a mounting table on which the thin plate charged into the mounting unit from the charging port is mounted.
The mounting portion has a first inner surface that faces the outer periphery of the thin plate when the thin plate is placed on the mounting table, and a second inner surface that is closer to the inlet than the first inner surface. And
The placement section is
The inner periphery of the first inner surface and the second inner surface is formed in a shape larger than the outer periphery of the thin plate,
A protrusion located above the end of the thin plate when the thin plate is placed on the mounting table is formed on the second inner surface.

In this configuration, the user carries the censer in the state where the lid member is mounted on the placement unit, and installs the censer at a desired location. And when a user removes a cover member from a mounting part, a thin plate tends to float up from a mounting part with the negative pressure which generate | occur | produces at the time of this removal. The material of the thin plate is, for example, mica.
However, in this configuration, since the protrusions prevent the thin plate from rising, the thin plate can be prevented from jumping out of the mounting portion. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the thin plate from being damaged or the thin plate from being lost.

(2) On the second inner surface of the mounting portion, when the thin plate is placed on the mounting table, a protrusion is formed that is located above both end portions of the thin plate,
The mounting portion is formed in a shape in which the length from the tip of one of the protrusions to the second inner surface on which the other protrusion is formed is smaller than the width of both ends of the thin plate. It is characterized by.

The mounting portion in this configuration has a shape in which two protrusions are positioned above both end portions of the thin plate.
In this configuration, when the user removes the lid member from the placement portion, the protrusion can prevent the thin plate from rising even when one end of the thin plate is in contact with the second inner surface. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the thin plate from jumping out of the placement portion.

(3) On the second inner surface of the mounting portion, when the thin plate is placed on the mounting table, a protrusion is formed which is positioned above both end portions of the thin plate,
When the thin plate is placed on the mounting table, the mounting unit is configured such that when the thin plate is mounted on the mounting table, from the tip of the protrusion positioned above one end to the first inner surface facing the other end. The length of the thin plate is larger than the width of both ends.

The mounting portion in this configuration has a shape in which two protrusions are positioned above both end portions of the thin plate.
In this configuration, the user simply tilts the censer and lightly presses the lower end of the thin plate, so that the upper end of the thin plate is removed from the protrusion. Therefore, when cleaning dirt such as oil adhering to the thin plate or replacing the thin plate with a new one, the user can easily remove the thin plate from the mounting table.

(4) The mounting portion is characterized in that a groove positioned below both ends of the thin plate when the thin plate is mounted on the mounting table is formed around the mounting table.

  In this configuration, the user simply tilts the censer and lightly presses the lower end of the thin plate, so that the lower end of the thin plate enters the groove, and the upper end of the thin plate is removed from the protrusion. Therefore, when cleaning dirt such as oil adhering to the thin plate or replacing the thin plate with a new one, the user can more easily remove the thin plate from the mounting table.

(5) The protrusion is integrally formed with the mounting portion.

  In this configuration, since the protrusion is integrally formed with the mounting portion, a dedicated component is not required to form the protrusion, and the number of manufacturing steps is not increased. Therefore, the mounting portion having the protrusion can be formed at a low cost.

  According to this invention, it is possible to prevent the thin plate from jumping out of the placement portion when removing the lid member.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a censer according to an embodiment of the present invention when a cap is not attached. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a main part taken along line TT shown in FIG. 1 when the cap of the incense burner apparatus is mounted, and illustration of cross sections other than the main part is omitted. The said TT line | wire is a line | wire which passes along the centerline of the cap upper surface of the censer apparatus at the time of cap mounting | wearing. FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of a heater guide of the scent furnace device, and FIG. 4 is an external perspective view of a cap of the scent furnace device. The incense burner 1 includes a main body case 10, an electric heater 11, a heater guide 20, and a cap 30.

  The incense burner 1 heats the mica plate 50 on which the fragrance is set by the heat generated by the electric heater 11, and generates fragrance from the fragrance. The mica plate 50 is a thin disc made of small, light and transparent mica, and the fragrance is, for example, a fragrance or a fragrance. Here, the incense burner apparatus 1 is adapted to an atmosphere that produces joy, loneliness, silence, religious feeling, and the like in an environment where the fragrance is sown and enjoyed. In addition, since the censer 1 is a portable censer with a dry battery as a power source, the power cord is not obstructed and the commercial power supply is close to the standing censer as in the case of a stationary censer. It can be used even in places where there is no such thing.

  The heater guide 20 corresponds to the “mounting portion” of the present invention. The cap 30 corresponds to the “lid member” of the present invention. Further, the electric heater 11 corresponds to the “heating element” of the present invention. The main body case 10 corresponds to a “casing” of the present invention. The mica plate 50 corresponds to the “thin plate” of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body case 10 is formed of a quadrangular cylindrical body and a cylindrical head, and the cross-sectional shape thereof is a convex shape. A battery housing part (not shown) for setting a plurality of dry batteries is provided at the bottom of the main body case 10.
In this embodiment, the main body case 10 is formed of a quadrangular cylindrical body and a cylindrical head. However, in implementation, other shapes (for example, a cylindrical body and a cylindrical body) are used. It may be a combination of heads).

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the heater guide 20 is fitted on the upper surface of the main body case 10. The heater guide 20 is formed with a mortar-shaped inlet 21 into which a mica plate 50 for setting a fragrance is introduced from the direction of an arrow 51. The heater guide 20 has a mounting table 22 for mounting the mica plate 50 introduced from the insertion port 21, and the mica plate 50 can be removed from the mounting table 22. Thus, the user cleans dirt such as oil adhering to the mica plate 50 or replaces the mica plate 50 with a new one.

  The electric heater 11 is attached to an upper portion of the main body case 10 that is the center of the heater guide 20 when the upper surface of the heater guide 20 is viewed from the front. The electric heater 11 generates heat using a battery as a power source, and heats the mica plate 50 mounted on the mounting table 22. Thereby, heat is transmitted to the fragrance set on the mica plate 50, and fragrance is generated from the fragrance.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the cap 30 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape having a cylindrical opening. The cap 30 is detachable with respect to the head of the main body case 10 and covers the mica plate 50 when mounted (see FIG. 2). Two caps 30 </ b> A are formed on the inner surface of the cap 30.
In this embodiment, the cap 30 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape having a cylindrical opening. However, other shapes (for example, a cup shape having a circular cross section) may be used in implementation. Further, three or more protrusions 30A may be formed.

  Here, a ring-shaped protrusion 10 </ b> A that engages with the two protrusions 30 </ b> A when the cap 30 is attached to the head of the main body case 10 is also formed on the head of the main body case 10. The two protrusions 30 </ b> A are caught by the ring-shaped protrusion 10 </ b> A so that the cap 30 is not easily detached from the upper part of the main body case 10. The user carries the censer 1 with the cap 30 attached to the head of the main body case 10 and installs the censer 1 at a desired location. Thereafter, the user removes the cap 30 from the main body case 10 and uses the censer 1.

  However, as shown in FIG. 2, the cap 30 covers the mica plate 50 when the cap 30 is attached. The mica plate 50 is a small and light thin plate. Therefore, in the conventional incense burner apparatus, when the user removes the cap 30 from the main body case 10, the mica plate 50 sometimes jumps out of the heater guide 20 due to the negative pressure generated during the removal.

  Therefore, in order to prevent the mica plate 50 from popping out of the heater guide 20, the incense burner instrument 1 according to this embodiment includes the heater guide 20 shown below.

FIG. 5 is a front view of the heater guide of the censer according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the heater guide taken along the line S-S shown in FIG. The heater guide 20 is formed with a mounting table 22 on which the mica plate 50 inserted into the heater guide 20 from the charging port 21 is mounted. Further, on the second inner surface 20 </ b> B of the heater guide 20, projections 23 and 24 are formed that are located above both ends of the mica plate 50 when the mica plate 50 is placed on the mounting table 22. The material of the projections 23 and 24 and the heater guide 20 is resin, and the projections 23 and 24 and the heater guide 20 are integrally formed by injection molding using a mold.
In this embodiment, the material of the protrusions 23 and 24 is integrally formed of resin by injection molding. However, other materials and other forming methods may be adopted in implementation. For example, the material of the protrusions 23 and 24 may be rubber.

  The heater guide 20 has an inner periphery of the first inner surface 20 </ b> A that is an inner surface of the heater guide 20 that faces the outer periphery of the mica plate 50 when the mica plate 50 is placed on the mounting table 22. It is formed in a shape larger than the outer periphery. In addition, the inner periphery of the second inner surface 20 </ b> B is also formed in a shape larger than the outer periphery of the mica plate 50.

  With the above configuration, when the user removes the cap 30 from the main body case 10 and the heater guide 20, the mica plate 50 tends to float from the heater guide 20 due to the negative pressure generated during the removal. However, in the censer 1, the protrusions 23 and 24 prevent the mica plate 50 from rising, so that the mica plate 50 can be prevented from jumping out of the heater guide 20. Therefore, according to this incense burner instrument 1, it is possible to prevent the mica plate 50 from being damaged or the mica plate 50 from being lost. Furthermore, since only the small protrusions 23 and 24 are formed inside the heater guide 20, the design of the censer 1 is not deteriorated.

  In addition, since the protrusions 23 and 24 can be easily integrally formed by injection molding together with the heater guide 20, no dedicated parts are required to form the protrusions 23 and 24, and the number of manufacturing steps is not increased. . Therefore, the heater guide 20 having the protrusions 23 and 24 can be formed at a low cost.

  Next, each dimension relationship in the heater guide 20 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the heater guide taken along line SS shown in FIG. 8 is an external perspective view of the incense burner according to the embodiment of the present invention when the mica plate is removed, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the heater guide when the mica plate is removed along the line SS shown in FIG. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 7, each dimensional relationship in the heater guide 20 is “length A from the tip of the projection 23 to the tip of the projection 24” <“length B from the tip of the projection 24 to the second inner surface 20B”. "<" Length C of both ends of the mica plate 50 "<" Length D from the tip of the protrusion 24 to the first inner surface 20A ". That is, the heater guide 20 is formed in a shape in which the width C at both ends of the mica plate 50 is larger than the length B from the tip of the protrusion 24 to the second inner surface 20B. Therefore, when the user removes the cap 30 from the main body case 10 and the heater guide 20, the center of the mica plate 50 is greatly displaced from the center axis 25 of the heater guide 20, and one end of the mica plate 50 contacts the second inner surface 20B. Even when in contact (see FIG. 7), the protrusions 23 and 24 can reliably prevent the mica plate 50 from rising.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the mica plate 50 is mounted on the mounting table 22, the heater guide 20 is connected to the other end from the tip of the protrusion 24 positioned above one end of the mica plate 50. The length D to the first inner surface 20 </ b> A opposite to the end of the mica is formed in a shape larger than the length C of the widths at both ends of the mica plate 50. Further, the heater guide 20 is formed with a groove 26 around the mounting table 22 that is located below both ends of the mica plate 50 when the mica plate 50 is mounted on the mounting table 22. Therefore, when cleaning dirt such as oil adhering to the mica plate 50 or replacing the mica plate 50 with a new one, the user can easily remove the mica plate 50 from the mounting table 22 as follows. . That is, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the user 100 simply tilts the main body case 10 and lightly presses one end of the mica plate 50 in the direction of the arrow 53, so that the lower end of the mica plate 50 is moved. Entering the groove 26, the mica plate 50 easily falls in the direction of the arrow 54.

  As described above, according to the incense burner instrument 1 of this embodiment, the mica plate 50 can be reliably prevented from jumping out of the heater guide 20, and the mica plate 50 can be easily removed from the mounting table 22.

  In addition, it should be thought that description of the above-mentioned embodiment is an illustration in all the points, Comprising: It is not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above embodiments but by the claims.
