Abstract

PURPOSE:To level out the strength of perfume which otherwise concentrates at the start of each intermittent air-sending driving of a fan so as to enhance the pleasantness of the fragrance felt by providing a means for controlling the intermittent operation which controls an air-sending means and a renewing means. CONSTITUTION:In an air passageway 4, there is provided a fan 5 which draws in indoor air through an inlet 1 and discharges it into an indoor space through an outlet 2; a part of the air passageway 4 constitutes an exposure section 7 wherein a perfume-emitting material 6 in paper form, a liquid perfume- impregnated material, is exposed to the air sent by the fan in emitting the perfume. By driving a reel motor 10 the used portion of the perfume-emitting material 6 in the exposure section 7 is taken up on a reel in a rewind section 9. Then a new portion of the perfume-emitting material 6 is paid off from a supply section 8 to the exposure section 7. By turning on a switch 12 for the operation the fan 5 is made to run for a set period of operation time T1 to send air and at its start the reel motor 10 is made to take up a set portion of the perfume-emitting material 6; this operation is executed automatically at set intervals of time T2 > T1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a scent generating device provided with a means for automatically renewing a scent generating material that is exposed to the air blown by a blowing means to release the scent components contained therein.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, by intermittently blowing and supplying scented air to a target space, it is possible to prevent the human sense of smell from being numbed and to provide a more effective and pleasant scent impression. Although there are techniques, there is no one that links the update timing of the scent generating material and the start/stop timing of the intermittent ventilation operation in terms of operation control in the type of system that is provided with the above-mentioned automatic change means with scent generation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, since there is no correlation between the update timing of scent-generating materials and the start/stop timing of ventilation operation,
The fragrance intensity may vary each time the ventilation operation is started, or the pattern of change in the fragrance intensity may differ each time the ventilation operation is performed, which may result in a feeling of discomfort.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a more pleasant scent impression.

[Means to solve the problem]

A characteristic configuration of the aroma generating device according to the present invention is that the configuration includes a means for automatically renewing the aroma generating material that is exposed to the air blown by the air blowing means to release the scent components contained therein, and the air blowing means is operated for a set operating time. and causing the updating means to update the fragrance generating material by a predetermined amount at the time of starting the blowing operation, immediately after starting, or while the blowing operation is stopped, for a period longer than the set operating time. The present invention is provided with an intermittent control means that is automatically and repeatedly executed at each long set interval time, and its functions and effects are as follows.

[For production]

In other words, by providing the intermittent control means that controls the air blowing means and the updating means as described above, the aroma intensity at the start of the air blowing operation is equalized in each intermittent air blowing operation, and The pattern of changes in fragrance intensity during the ventilation operation is also equalized, with the fragrance intensity gradually decreasing over time as the fragrance components contained in the updated fragrance generating material are consumed.

When the blower operation stops after the set operating time has elapsed, fragrance generation is stopped until the next blower operation is started, and during this period, the numbness of the sense of smell is prevented. By preventing the numbness of the sense of smell, the equalized scent intensity will be more impressive to the target person when the next ventilation operation starts.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As a result of the above effects, it is now possible to give a more pleasant and effective scent impression than before.
It has now been possible to significantly improve the effectiveness (ie, create a refreshing and comfortable atmosphere) of this type of scent generator.

Further, in the configuration of the present invention, if an operation time adjustment operation section for changing and adjusting the set operation time and an interval time adjustment operation section for changing and adjusting the set interval time are provided (claim 2, or 3), by changing and adjusting the set operating time and set interval time, you can easily and accurately adjust the scent generation situation in the target space to the desired form according to your preference. This has the advantage of keeping the situation stable.

〔Example〕

Next, an example will be described.

Figure 1 shows the configuration of the scent generator, with the suction port (1)

An air path (4) is formed extending from the inlet (1) to the outlet (2), and indoor air is taken in from the inlet (1) to this air path (4), and the intake air is transferred to the outlet (2). A fan (5) for discharging air into the room, and an exposing section (7) for exposing a vapor-like scent-generating material (6) impregnated with a scent-generating liquid to air blown by the fan to release scent components. .

(8) is a storage part that stores the roll (6a) of the scent generating material (6) to be sent to the bleaching part (7);
This is a collection section that winds up and collects the used scent generating material (6), and drives the winding motor (10) to transfer the used scent generating material (6) from the exposing section (7) to the collecting section (9). Along with the winding and collection, the roll (6) in the storage section (8)
From a), new scent generating material (6) is sent to the exposing section (7).

That is, the above-mentioned storage section (8), collection section (9), and winding motor (10) constitute scented whole raw material updating means.

(11) is a controller that controls the operation, and when the operation ON switch (12) is operated, the controller (11) controls the fan (5) for the set operation time ( T1), and at the start of the blowing operation, the winding motor (10) winds up a predetermined amount of the scent-generating material (6) (i.e., from the storage part (8) to the exposed part (7)).
sending the scent generating material (6) to a predetermined m0),
The function is configured to be repeatedly and automatically executed at every set interval time (T2 (>T, )).

Figure 2 (b) shows the form of scent generation in the room obtained by the intermittent operation control as described above, the vertical axis is the scent generation concentration (fragrance generation intensity), and the horizontal axis is the time. This corresponds to the horizontal axis time in (a).

In the figure, (13) is an operation OFF switch that gives an operation stop command to the controller (11).

The fragrance generating device also includes an operating time adjustment operation section (14) for changing and adjusting the set operation time (T I ) in the intermittent operation control, and an operation section (14) for changing and adjusting the set interval time (T2). The operation unit (15) for adjusting the interval time to adjust the interval time, as well as the amount of sending out the scent-generating material (in this example, the drive time (Tll) of the winding motor (10)) at each time the scent-generating material is sent out. It is additionally equipped with an operating tool (16) for adjusting the feed amount of Sumeda, and these operating tools (14), (15), (16)
