Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a technique for emitting fragrance from a flower pot containing a natural plant or an imitation plant.

[Background Art] Traditionally, natural plants and imitation plants have been planted in flowerpots and viewed indoors. However, the imitation plants had no fragrance, and even the natural plants, which were the size of a potted plant, did not emit enough fragrance, so they were only appreciated visually. Therefore, in the process of devising this invention, the inventor of this invention thought of putting an aromatic agent inside the flower pot to emit the fragrance, but simply making the flower pot emit the fragrance would not be enough. Since the amount of fragrance is the same, depending on the size of the room,
It emits too much aroma and the smell becomes too strong,
It has also been found that problems arise in that the amount of fragrance emitted is too small and the odor is too faint, or that the amount of fragrance emitted cannot be adjusted to suit the tastes of the people entering the room.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above conventional problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to emit fragrance from a flower pot, and to improve the amount of fragrance emitted from the flower pot. The idea is to provide flower pots that can be adjusted according to the size of the room and the preferences of the people in the room.

[Disclosure of the invention] The flowerpot of the present invention includes a flowerpot 2 having a natural or imitation plant 1, and a flowerpot 2 that is ventilated with the outside.
An air freshener 3 is installed inside the air freshener 3, and a fragrance emission amount adjustment means 4 is provided for adjusting the amount of fragrance emitted from the air freshener 3. By adopting such a configuration, the above-mentioned This achieves the purpose of this invention. In other words, in the present invention, flower pot 2
Since the aromatic agent 3 is placed inside the flowerpot 2 and released outside the flowerpot 2, the plant 1 can be placed in a state where it appears to be emitting a fragrance, and the plant can be appreciated not only visually but also olfactory. By providing the aroma emission amount adjustment means 4 for adjusting the amount of fragrance emitted from the air freshener 3, it is possible to liven up the atmosphere in the room. This solves the above-mentioned conventional problems by making it possible to select the fragrance emission according to the preferences of the people in the room.

In this embodiment, a natural tree cut at the trunk portion may be inserted.

When the fan device 23 is driven, air flows from the upper opening 5 of the flowerpot 2 to the filter 24, the ventilation hole 13, the bottom hole 9, and the ventilation portion 8 in this order from top to bottom. In this case, if the upper small hole 17 is left open, the air flow generated by the fan device 23 will be sucked in, pass through the aromatic agent container 21 from the upper small hole 17, and exit from the lower small hole 26. The fragrance generated and emitted from the aromatic agent in the fragrance container 21 is carried by the air flow passing through the fragrance container 21, exits from the lower small hole 26, rides the air flow, and reaches the outer periphery of the lower part of the flower pot 2. The air is radiated to the outside from a plurality of spaced apart ventilation sections 8. Here, a rotary cylinder 18 which is a fragrance emission amount adjustment means 4 for adjusting the amount of fragrance emitted from the aromatic agent 3
The amount of fragrance emitted can be adjusted by rotating. Furthermore, when the upper small hole 17 is completely closed by the fragrance emission amount adjusting means 4, even if the fan device 23 is driven, no airflow is generated that flows from top to bottom inside the container 21 containing the fragrance. This prevents fragrance from flowing out through the holes 26 on the air flow generated by the fan device 23.

Incidentally, the aroma emission amount adjusting means 4 is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, and various design changes can be made.

In the above embodiment, the imitation plant 1 or the natural plant 1 is inserted into the cylindrical insertion portion 14.
Although the embodiment has been described in which a tree cut at the trunk portion is inserted, a natural plant 1 with roots may be placed in the flowerpot 2. In this case, for example, the cylindrical insertion part 14 may have a large diameter, soil may be filled therein, and the natural plant 1 may be planted. Naturally, natural plants 1 may be planted by other means.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, air flows from the top opening 5 of the flowerpot 2 to the filter 24, the ventilation hole 13, the bottom hole 9, and the ventilation part 8 in this order from top to bottom. The fan device 23 may be set upside down so that the airflow enters through the ventilation hole 13 and exits through the upper opening 5. In this case, when the fan device 23 is driven, air enters from the lower small hole 26, and an air flow is created that passes through the inside of the air freshener container 21 from the bottom to the top and exits from the upper small hole 17. The aroma emitted from the aromatic agent 3 inside 21 flows to the outside.

By the way, indoor air can be purified by the air passing through the flower pot 2 passing through the filter 24, and the flower pot 2 of the present invention has a function as an air purifier.

Further, the fragrance 3 can be replaced by removing the fragrance container 21. Further, as for the aromatic agent 3, air flows out from the upper small hole 26 (or the lower small hole 17) through the aromatic agent container 21 filled with the fragrance 3 and from the lower small hole 17 (or the upper small hole 26). It should be kept in a granular form that does not cause any problems.
