Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an air freshener container. For more details, please refer to indoor rooms, cars, etc. A container for containing an air freshener used to deodorize or add fragrance to the air It is related to.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, containers for air fresheners used to deodorize and add fragrance to the interior of automobiles, etc. Attach an adjustment lid to the vent opening to adjust its opening, and the user manually adjusts the adjustment lid as appropriate. By adjusting the opening degree of the emission port, the air freshener contained in the container body can be released. A device that adjusts the amount of divergence is known.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, conventional fragrance containers have the following problems. That is, especially in air freshener containers for automobiles, air fresheners are Even if you adjust the emission amount to an appropriate amount, leave the container open and get off the car. If the car is left out in the hot sun, the air freshener container left in the car can sometimes lose up to 100 The temperature may reach close to ℃, and the temperature of the air freshener inside the container will also be high. Air fresheners are mainly volatile Since it is composed of emissive ingredients, the evaporation and transpiration of the air freshener will be intense in this case, causing is filled with excessive aroma. This kind of thing only makes the user feel uncomfortable. However, there are problems such as unnecessary consumption of expensive air fresheners and undesirable from an economic point of view. There is an issue. The present invention provides an air freshener container that can effectively solve these conventional problems. This is what we do.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

In other words, the present invention consists of a container body that houses an aromatic agent, and an opening in the container body. an inner cap that closes, and a temperature change is provided between the container body and the inner cap. The inner cap is equipped with a heat-sensitive element that deforms and changes the position of the inner cap depending on the temperature. This is a characteristic feature.

[0005]

[Effect]

By configuring the fragrance container according to the present invention as described above, the fragrance container The heat-sensitive element deforms as the temperature of the atmosphere in which it is installed increases, and depending on the amount of deformation, The inner cap is raised and lowered to automatically open and close the vent formed in the container body. This adjusts the amount of fragrance released.

【Example】

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a fragrance container according to an embodiment of the present invention. This container 1 is A container body 2 that accommodates a fragrance, and a vent opening 3 formed in this container body 2 for opening and closing. and a cap 4, and between the container body 2 and the inner cap 4, there is a A heat-sensitive element 5 that deforms and moves the inner cap 4 is interposed therein. In this embodiment, a plate-shaped bimetal is used as the heat-sensitive element 5, but in addition to this, Coiled ones can also be used.

[0007] Next, to explain these details, the container body 2 is a glass bottle 2a. , the lower cap 2b attached to the top of this glass bottle 2a, and this lower cap 2 It consists of an upper cap 2c attached to the upper part of b. A venting port 3 is formed in the center of the upper part of the glass bottle 2a, and a fiber bundle is inserted into the venting port 3. An inductor core 6 made of a similar material is attached via a support 7. stored in the glass bottle 2a The liquid aromatic agent L is guided to the emission port 3 by the guide wick 6. The upper center of the lower cap 2b is located above the glass bottle 2a and is located above the emission opening 3. forming an exit. The upper cap 2c covers the lower cap 2b and has many slots. Alternatively, it is a lid having an opening 8 of an appropriate shape and for releasing evaporated fragrance. The drawings show the state of the air freshener container of the present invention before it is used, that is, when it is commercially available. The venting port 3 is inserted between the glass bottle 2a and the lower cap 2b. It is completely sealed with a sealing cap 10. when using , remove the lower cap 2b from the glass bottle 2a and remove the sealing cap 10. After that, reattach the lower cap 2b. The outlet of the divergence port 3 can have an appropriate shape, but if the inner cap 4 is tightly closed. The structure should be such that the vent will close completely when this happens. The middle cap 4 matches the shape of the outlet of the divergence port 3 formed in the bottom cap 2b. and disposed so as to cover the emission port. Furthermore, the heat-sensitive element 5 is made of a plate-shaped bimetal in this embodiment, and one end of the heat-sensitive element 5 is made of a plate-shaped bimetal. the other end is locked in the slit 9 formed in the lower cap 2b, and the other end is locked in the slit 9 formed in the lower cap 2b. It is fixed to a part of the cap 4.

[0008] The operation of the fragrance container 1 of this embodiment configured in this way will be explained below. For example, when installed inside a car, when the inside of the car is at room temperature, the battery Due to the action of Imetal 5, as shown in FIG. The position of the inner cap 4 is maintained so that the size is the preset size. There is. In this state, the fragrance L in the glass bottle 2a is released by the capillary action of the inductor wick 6. It rises and emanates into the car via the emission port 3. As the temperature inside the vehicle increases, the bimetal 5 deforms and The pipe 4 is gradually lowered in a direction to close the emission port depending on the temperature. As a result, the car The amount of fragrance L released into the interior is suppressed. Furthermore, for example, if the car is parked in the hot sun, etc. If the temperature inside the car rises abnormally and exceeds the set temperature (approximately 50 to 60 degrees Celsius), Then, the bimetal 5 is further deformed, the inner cap 4 is further lowered, and the divergence port 3 is completely closed. This prevents the fragrance L from escaping. Therefore, even if the car is left in the hot sun, the air freshener L will not evaporate unnecessarily. can be stopped automatically and does not cause discomfort to the user.

[0009] In the embodiment of the present invention, an example is shown in which a bimetal is used as a heat-sensitive element. In addition, shape memory alloys and the like can also be used. In that case, a given temperature, e.g. For example, shape memory treatment is performed so that the inner cap 4 closes at temperatures of 80°C or higher. A new shape memory alloy is installed in place of the bimetal, and at normal operating temperatures, The shape memory alloy is kept plastically deformed in such a state that the cap 4 is opened. I'll keep it. Once the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, the shape memory alloy will automatically It recovers to the shape it had when the amnestic treatment was applied, and the inner cap 4 is closed by that force. Ru.

[Effect of the idea]

As explained above, the air freshener container according to the present invention has a wicking structure formed in the container body. Automatically moves the cap while opening and closing the mouth by utilizing the deformation of the heat-sensitive element due to temperature changes. The automatic operation allows the amount of fragrance released to be automatically adjusted depending on the ambient temperature. It is possible to make effective use of fragrances by adjusting the amount of fragrance. Furthermore, when used in automobiles Even if the car is left in the hot sun, excessive fragrance will be dissipated unnecessarily. It has excellent effects such as being able to prevent such problems.
