  However, in the above-described prior art, every time a new storage container body is to be assembled to the case body, the sealing seal that seals the storage container body must be peeled off to open the storage container body. For this reason, it is required to take a troublesome operation to peel off the hermetic seal, and it is required to have a configuration in which the hermetic seal can be properly and easily peeled off. There was a problem that it was left at hand.

  Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-described problems in the prior art, and by attaching the storage container body to the case body, the storage container body can be released to release the fragrance. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to easily open a container body having a high sealing strength without making the sealing function part trash.

The main configuration of the present invention for solving the above technical problem is:
A storage container body that stores liquid fragrance and the opening is closed with a seat lid, and an infiltration core that is assembled in the opening of the storage container with an air replacement air intake mechanism. And a dissipating sheet that immerses and diffuses the fragrance derived from the inside of the storage container by the osmotic core, and a case body that locks and attaches the storage container body to the mounting portion.
The osmotic core is made of a material that guides the fragrance by capillary action,
The sheet lid is formed by laminating a sealing film with a high barrier property that is not stretchable and easily ruptured on the inside of a flexible penetrating sheet that can permeate the fragrance.
Assembling the diffuser sheet in contact with the permeation sheet,
Providing a fractured veneer on the mounting part;
The rupture protruding plate is pushed against the sheet lid of the storage container body assembled to the mounting portion, and the sealing film of the sheet lid is broken to open a rupture hole,
In this state, the permeation core is brought into contact with the permeation sheet in a state where the fracture hole is opened.

  The assembly of the storage container body with the opening sealed with the seat lid to the mounting part of the case body is accomplished in the form of a stopper assembly that forcibly pushes the storage container body into the mounting part. The impact force is transmitted to the fracture protrusion plate of the case body that presses against the sheet lid of the storage container body. Although the impact force transmitted to the rupture protrusion plate acts on the seat lid as it is, the permeation sheet of the seat lid is rich in flexibility, so it flexibly deforms without breaking due to this impact force. Since the seal film of the seat lid is not stretchable and easily broken, it is easily broken and a broken hole is formed.

  At this time, since the rupture projection plate is integrally formed with the case body, it is structurally stable, and when it hits against the seat lid in a pushing shape, the impact force acts on the seat lid reliably and strongly. The break hole is surely opened in the seal film of the seat lid. When the rupture hole is opened, the osmotic sheet is exposed to the inside of the storage container from the rupture hole, and comes into contact with the tip of the osmotic core. It penetrates and further penetrates the air diffuser sheet through the impregnated sheet and is diffused from the surface of the air diffuser sheet. Since the break hole is formed by breaking the permeation sheet, a part of the sheet lid does not separate and become dust.

  Since an air diffuser sheet is provided for the purpose of dispersing the fragrance, the size of the air diffuser sheet is set appropriately so that the size of the opening of the storage container body, that is, the size of the sheet lid Without being limited to the above, the air dispersibility of the fragrance can be set to a desired level.

  According to another configuration of the present invention, in the main configuration described above, a plurality of locking plates for locking and holding the storage container body in the partition wall is provided on the cylindrical wall of the case body so as to partition the inside of the cylindrical wall vertically. A mounting portion is configured by standing a piece and a rupture protrusion plate.

  In the case where a plurality of locking plate pieces for holding and holding the storage container body on the partition wall and the rupture protrusion plate are configured to constitute the mounting portion, since the elastic swing displacement of the locking plate piece is easy, It becomes easy to attach and detach the latching assembly of the storage container body to the case body.

  Another configuration of the present invention is the above-described main configuration in which the intake mechanism is configured by an intake pipe.

  In the case where the intake mechanism is constituted by an intake pipe, even when the opening of the storage container body is closed with the fragrance, the replacement air can be guided into the storage container body.

  In addition, another configuration of the present invention is the above-described main configuration, wherein the intake mechanism is configured by an intake gap formed between the osmotic core and a support cylinder portion that holds the osmotic core.

  In the case where the intake mechanism is configured by an intake gap, a part of the opening of the storage container body can function as an intake mechanism as it is.

  Further, another configuration of the present invention is configured such that, in the main configuration described above, a plurality of plate-like locking pieces that are locked to the storage container body are erected on the ring plate on which the air diffusion sheet is placed. A joint is provided.

  In the case where the joint is provided, the diffuser sheet can be handled by the joint.

  In addition, another configuration of the present invention is a configuration in which, in the main configuration described above, the fracture protruding plate is configured by combining two plate pieces in a cross shape.

  In the case where the rupture protruding plate is configured by combining two plate pieces in a cross shape, the opening area of the rupture hole formed by the rupture of the seal film can be increased, thereby allowing the osmotic core and the osmotic core to penetrate. Contact with the sheet can be reliably obtained.

  Further, according to another configuration of the present invention, in the main configuration described above, the storage container body is a synthetic resin blow-molded bottle, and a ring-shaped cap body having an opening at the center is tightly connected to the opening cylindrical portion of the bottle. The sheet lid that closes the opening is tightly welded onto the cap body.

  If the storage container body is a synthetic resin blow molded bottle, and the ring-shaped cap body is assembled to the opening cylinder, the storage container body can be easily molded and can be obtained at low cost. Easy to handle in the form of a cartridge.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
In the main configuration of the present invention, the breaking hole is easily and surely opened by engaging and attaching the storage container body to the mounting portion of the case body, thereby ensuring the air dispersal operation of the fragrance in the storage container body. Can get to. In addition, the opening of the storage container body remains closed with the immersion sheet, and the immersion sheet itself allows permeation of the fragrance but does not allow passage, so the storage container body stably holds and holds the fragrance. To secure a safe use state of the fragrance container. Furthermore, since the entire air diffusion sheet acts on the air diffused by the permeated fragrance, the air diffusing capacity of the air freshener can be freely set according to the size of the air diffusing sheet. Furthermore, since no dust is generated by opening the fracture hole, post-processing can be simplified.

  In the case where a plurality of locking plate pieces for locking and holding the storage container body on the partition wall and a rupture protrusion plate are provided to constitute the mounting portion, the storage container body can be easily attached to and detached from the case body. This makes it easy to handle the storage container body as a refill container.

  In the case where the intake mechanism is constituted by an intake pipe, the replacement air can be guided into the storage container body even when the opening of the storage container body is closed with the fragrance. Is advantageous for use in an inverted position.

  In the case where the intake mechanism is configured by an intake gap, a part of the opening of the storage container body can function as an intake mechanism as it is, so that the structure of the intake function can be simplified, It is advantageous to use the storage container body in an upright posture.

  For those with a joint, the diffuser sheet can be handled by the joint, so the diffuser sheet can be replaced without touching the diffuser sheet wet with the fragrance. It can be carried out.

  In the case where the rupture protruding plate is configured by combining two plate pieces in a cross shape, since the contact between the osmotic core and the osmotic sheet can be reliably obtained, the fragrance of the fragrance agent through the osmotic core is obtained. The supply to the diffuser sheet can be achieved reliably and stably.

  If the storage container body is a synthetic resin blow molded bottle, and the ring-shaped cap body is assembled to the opening cylinder, the storage container body can be easily molded and can be obtained at low cost. Since the cartridge-like handling is easy, it is possible to easily obtain a storage container body with excellent handling properties.
