  Then, when the user of the vehicle deodorant container 1 pinches the knob portion 51 and applies a force in the front-rear direction, the opening / closing portion 5 slides back and forth along the extending direction of the guide 43. As a result, the user can adjust the amount of release of the fragrance by adjusting the size of the opening area of the vents 42 a and 42 a of the second vent portion 42.

  Also, when the opening / closing portion 5 is slid in the front-rear direction, the convex portion 53 (see FIG. 5) of the central back surface sequentially engages with the concave portion 44 (see FIG. 3) of the central upper surface of the second ventilation portion 42. Do. Thereby, the size of the opening area of the vents 42a and 42a of the second ventilating portion 42 can be set stepwise in the vehicle deodorant container 1.

  Moreover, since the convex portion 53 engages with the concave portion 44 when the size of the opening area of the vents 42 a and 42 a of the second ventilating portion 42 is set, the vehicle deodorant container 1 is used. Even if it vibrates while driving, it is possible to prevent the opening area of the vents 42a, 42a from changing.

  Next, the flow of air inside the case unit 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing an end face of the vehicular aroma deodorant container 1 taken along the line A-A 'shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing an end face of the deodorant container for a vehicle 1 taken along the line B-B 'shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the liquid aroma deodorizer 62 sealed in the bag 61 is housed in the housing 2. The bag 61 is formed of a membrane that allows the gas that has been vaporized to pass through without passing through the liquid. The bag 61 is formed of a membrane in which the amount of release of the aroma deodorizer 62 increases as the amount of air touched increases.

  As a result, the aroma deodorant container 1 for a vehicle can determine an appropriate amount of aroma over a long period of time as compared with the amount of emission of the deodorizing aroma when the liquid deodorizing aroma is directly stored in the case portion 10 It can be released.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when air is blown from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner, the case portion 10 has the air vent 41 a of the first vent 41 facing rearward, as shown by the thick arrow in FIG. 7. Air is forcibly fed into the storage section 2 from the vent 41a.

  At this time, by setting the position of the opening / closing part 5 so that the opening area of the vent hole 42a of the second ventilation part 42 becomes relatively small, the amount of aroma is made appropriate in the vehicle deodorant container 1 It can be adjusted.

  In addition, since the first ventilation portion 41 is a hood, the flow path of air flowing in from the rear to the front with respect to the vent 41 a is directed downward inside the storage portion 2 by the hood. Thereby, the air flowing in from the vent 41 a contacts the bag 61 to vaporize the aroma deodorant 62 in the bag 61, and the gas of the vaporized aroma deodorant 62 is stored from the surface of the bag 61. It is emitted into part 2.

  In addition, since air is fed into the interior from the first ventilation portions 41 provided at two places on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the lid 4 in the case portion 10, the inside is compared with the case where air is fed from one location. Air is effectively agitated. Thereby, case part 10 can accelerate vaporization of aroma deodorizer 62.

  Further, in the case portion 10, as shown in FIG. 8, the vents 42a of the second vents 42 face upward. For this reason, as shown by a thick arrow in FIG. 8, the case portion 10 uses the air of the first deodorizing portion 41 to send the gas of the aroma deodorant 62 vaporized in the storage portion 2 to the second ventilation portion. The air can be diffused upward from the vehicle interior through the vents 42a.

  On the other hand, in the case portion 10, when there is no air flow from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner, air is not fed into the inside of the storage portion 2 from the air vent 41a of the first ventilation portion 41. However, natural evaporation of the aroma deodorizer 62 occurs inside the storage unit 2.

  Thereby, in addition to the 2nd ventilation | gas_flowing part 42 which discharge | releases the gas of the aroma deodorizer 62 when there is no ventilation from the blower outlet 7 of air-conditioner, the case part 10 also deodorizer 62 also from the 1st ventilation | gas_flowing part 41. Gas can be released.

  At this time, by setting the position of the opening / closing part 5 so that the opening area of the vent hole 42a of the second ventilating part 42 becomes relatively large, the amount of aroma is made appropriate in the vehicle deodorant container 1 It can be adjusted.

  In addition, although the case where the 1st ventilation part 41 and the 2nd ventilation part 42 were provided in the cover part 4 was demonstrated until now, this structure is an example, and various deformation | transformation are possible. Next, with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the modification of the fragrance deodorizer container 1 for vehicles which concerns on the modification of embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a fragrance deodorant container for a vehicle according to Modification 1 of the embodiment. FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing a fragrance deodorant container for a vehicle according to Modification 2 of the embodiment. Here, among the components shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the same components as the components shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference symbols as the reference symbols shown in FIG. The explanation is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the deodorant container 1a for vehicles of the modification 1 differs in the structure of the case part 10a from the case part 10 shown to FIG. 1 and FIG. Specifically, the case portion 10a is provided with a first ventilation portion 45 in the upper half of the left and right side surfaces of the storage portion 2a with the air vents 45a communicating with the inside directed backward, and the lid portion 4a is 1) There is no vent 41 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). In addition, the shape of the 1st ventilation part 45 shown in FIG. 9 is the same as that of the 1st ventilation part 41 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

  In the deodorant container 1a for a vehicle according to the first modification, when air is blown from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner, the air vent 45a provided in the upper half of the left and right sides of the storage portion 2a serves as an air intake port. The vent 42 a of the second vent 42 serves as an outlet for the aroma deodorant 62.

  Further, in the vehicle deodorant container 1a according to the first modification, when there is no air flow from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner, the air vent 45a of the first vent 45 and the vents 42a and 42a of the second vent 42 are , And an outlet for the deodorizer 62. Therefore, the deodorant container 1a for vehicles of the modification 1 can suppress the reduction of the deodorizing effect.

  Moreover, since the vehicle deodorant container 1a of the first modification does not have a hole communicating with the inside in the lower half of the case portion 10a, the bag body 61 in which the deodorant agent 62 is sealed is temporarily damaged. Even in such a case, leakage of the aroma deodorizer 62 into the vehicle compartment can be suppressed.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, the structure of the case part 10b differs from the case part 10 shown to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 by the deodorizer container 1b for vehicles of the modification 2. As shown in FIG. Specifically, the case 10b has vents 46 communicating with the inside on the left and right upper halves that sandwich the fixed portion 3 on the rear surface of the storage 2b, and the lid 4b is a first vent 41 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

  In the deodorant container 1b for a vehicle according to the second modification, when air is blown from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner, the air vents 46 provided at two places on the left and right of the upper half of the rear face of the storage portion 2b The vents 42 a of the second vents 42 serve as outlets for the aroma deodorant 62.

  Further, in the vehicle deodorant container 1b of the second modification, when there is no air flow from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner, the air vents 46 provided at the left and right two places on the upper half of the rear surface of the storage portion 2b The vents 42 a, 42 a of the portion 42 serve as outlets for the aroma deodorizer 62.

  Therefore, the deodorant container 1b for vehicles of the modification 2 can suppress reduction of the deodorizing effect on aroma. Moreover, the vehicle deodorant container of the modification 2 reduces the manufacturing cost because it is not necessary to provide a hood at the vent 46 serving as an air intake when there is air blowing from the air outlet 7 of the air conditioner. It is also possible.

  Further, since the lower part of the case portion 10b of the vehicle deodorant container 1b according to the second modification does not have a hole communicating with the inside, the bag body 61 in which the deodorant agent 62 is sealed is temporarily damaged. Also in the case where it does, it can control that the aroma deodorizer 62 leaks into the vehicle interior.

  Note that the vehicle deodorant containers 1a and 1b according to the first and second modifications are configured to have vents in the upper half of the front of the storage portions 2a and 2b instead of the second ventilation portion 42. It is also good. In addition, the vehicle deodorant containers 1a and 1b according to the first and second modifications are configured to further include the first vent 41 identical to the vehicle deodorizer container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It is also good.

  As described above, the vehicle deodorant container according to the embodiment includes the case portion and the fixing portion. The case portion includes a box-shaped storage portion which is open at the top to store the aroma deodorant inside, and a lid portion detachably fitted to the released top portion of the storage portion. The fixing portion is attached to the rear surface of the storage portion, and fixes the case portion to the louver of the air conditioner in the vehicle compartment.

  Then, the case portion is configured such that the first ventilation portion with the vent communicating with the inside of the storage portion directed to the rear and the second vent with the vent communicating with the inside of the housing portion directed to the other direction than the back Prepare in half. Thereby, when the fragrance deodorizer to be stored is a liquid, the vehicle deodorant container can suppress the fragrance deodorizer from leaking into the vehicle compartment.

  Furthermore, in the case of a vehicle deodorant container, when air is blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the vent of the first vent portion becomes the air intake port, and the vent of the second vent portion is the vent of the aroma deodorant It becomes. Thereby, the deodorant container for vehicles can discharge | release a deodorizer into a vehicle interior efficiently using the ventilation sent from an air-conditioner.

  Further, in the case of a vehicle deodorant container, when there is no air flow from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the vent of the first vent and the vent of the second vent serve as a vent of the aroma deodorant. Thereby, the fragrance deodorant container for a vehicle reduces the aroma deodorizing effect by releasing the aroma deodorant from both the first vent and the second vent even when there is no air flow from the air conditioner. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, the deodorant container for vehicle does not have the first and second vents in the lower half of the case, and has the first and second vents in the upper half of the case. Thus, the vehicle deodorant container can suppress excessive intake of air into the inside of the case portion and excessive release of the deodorant agent from the case portion.

  Therefore, for example, when the aroma deodorant to be stored is concentrated and the aroma deodorant container for a vehicle is a drug having a high aroma deodorizing effect as compared to a general aroma deodorant, it is generally used. As compared with the conventional container, the small amount of the aroma deodorant can be continuously released over a long period of time.

  In addition, the second ventilation portion is provided at the center in the left-right direction in the case portion. And a 1st ventilation part is provided in the left-right both sides on both sides of a 2nd ventilation part. As a result, when there is air flow from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the vehicle deodorant container is disposed at the center of the case portion from the first ventilation portion on the left and right sides of the case portion via the inside of the case. It is possible to form an oblique flow path of air toward the vent.

  Therefore, when there is air flow from the air outlet of the air conditioner, even if the amount of air taken in is small, the vehicle deodorant container is efficiently used as the deodorant agent by stirring the air in the case. It can promote vaporization.

  In addition, the first ventilation portion is provided in the lid portion. Thus, the vehicle aroma deodorant container can more reliably suppress the leakage of the aroma deodorant from the first ventilation portion to the outside of the case portion. In addition, the second ventilation portion is provided in the lid portion. Also by this, the aromatic deodorant container for vehicles can suppress more reliably the leak of the aroma deodorant from the 1st ventilation part to the case part outside.

  In addition, it further comprises an opening and closing part that opens and closes the vent of the second ventilation part. When the effect of the aroma deodorant is relatively strong, the vehicle deodorant container can suppress the excessive release of the aroma deodorant by closing the second ventilation part by the opening and closing part.

  In addition, the opening and closing portion is a plate that slides stepwise in the front-rear direction on the vent of the second vent. In the deodorant container for a vehicle, the amount of release of the deodorant can be adjusted by sliding the opening and closing portion stepwise.

  Further, the fragrance deodorant contained in the vehicle fragrance deodorant container is a liquid, and the liquid is stored in the storage portion in a sealed state in a bag that allows the gas to pass through without the liquid being transmitted. Ru. Thus, the vehicle aroma deodorant container can further suppress leakage of the aroma deodorant into the vehicle compartment, and can release an appropriate amount of vaporized aroma deodorant into the vehicle compartment.
