[0009] A lid 5 is tightly fitted and fixed to the upper opening of the housing 1, and the lid 5 has a lower end surface opened into the water injection tank 3 and an injection port 6a in the center of the housing 1. An injection nozzle 6 located on the lid body 5
is fixed through.

[0010] Further, a chemical liquid injection tank 7 for injecting a chemical liquid with a bottom wall 7a close to the heat conductive plate 2 is vertically provided on the side part of the lid body 5, and the chemical liquid injection tank 7
A communication hole 8 is provided on one side of the upper part to maintain the atmospheric pressure in the water injection tank 3, which is isolated from the outside air by the lid 5, and the chemical solution injection tank 7 at the same atmospheric pressure, and furthermore, a communication hole 8 is provided for maintaining the atmospheric pressure in the water injection tank 3, which is isolated from the outside air by the lid body 5, and the chemical solution injection tank 7. At the upper opening of the tank 7, there is provided an inverted L-shaped liquid feeding pipe 10 with a conduit 9 opened at the upper surface of the injection port 6a of the injection nozzle 6 held in a horizontal state at its tip.
A chemical liquid tank lid 11 which is fixed through the tank is tightly fitted and fixed. The bottom of the liquid sending pipe 10 is a chemical liquid injection tank 7.
The chemical liquid injection tank 7 is made of a material with good thermal conductivity such as metal, which efficiently conducts the heat of the heated water in the water injection tank 3. .

[0011] An upright wall 12 is provided around the upper outer peripheral edge of the lid body 5, and a plurality of air injection holes 13 are bored in the upright wall 12 at appropriate intervals. A hanging wall 14 that can fit into the outer peripheral surface of the upright wall 12 and rotate in sliding contact is vertically provided on the outer peripheral edge of the upper plate 15, and a plurality of air holes are provided in the hanging wall 14 and communicated with the air injection holes 13. An adjustment cap 17 is formed by drilling the inflow adjustment hole 16, and by fitting the adjustment cap 17 to the upright wall 12, an air adjustment chamber 18 surrounded by the lid 5 and the adjustment cap 17 is formed. It is formed.

[0012] Also, the upper plate 1 of the adjustment cap 17
A guide cylinder 19 whose center line coincides with the injection nozzle 6 and whose lower surface is open to the air adjustment chamber 18 is installed in the center of the guide cylinder 19, and on the guide cylinder 19 is a guide cylinder 19 which can be attached to the nostril. A nostril inhaler 20 made of a flexible material such as rubber is placed in a shape that allows the user to inhale a mist of a mixture of vapor and medicinal solution. Note that 21 in the figure is a timer.

[0013] Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained. Remove the adjustment cap 17 and lid 5 and open the water injection tank 3.
Inject a predetermined amount of water into the chemical tank lid 1.
1 is removed, a predetermined amount of chemical solution is injected into the chemical solution injection tank 7, and the chemical solution tank lid 11 is closed.Furthermore, the lid body 5 is fitted and fixed to the housing 1, and the adjustment cap is attached to the upright wall 12 of the lid body 5. 17 and the preparation for inhalation is completed. Then, when the electric heater 4 is energized, the heat conductive plate 2 is heated, and the water in the water injection tank 3 is gradually heated and boiled. Meanwhile, water injection tank 3
The chemical solution in the chemical solution injection tank 7 disposed in the water is also gradually heated. When the boiled water in the water injection tank 3 turns into steam and is injected upward from the injection nozzle 6, negative pressure is generated in the conduit 9 at the tip of the liquid feed pipe 10 inserted into the chemical solution, and pressure is applied. The warmed chemical solution is caused to rise through the liquid sending pipe 10 and flow out from the conduit 9 in the form of water droplets.
The mixture is mixed with the steam injected from the atomizer, and the atomized state is inhaled into the nostrils through the guide tube 19 and the nostril inhaler 20.

[0014] When the temperature of the mixture of medicinal solution and vapor inhaled into the nostrils is high, the adjustment cap 17 is rotated to open the air inflow adjustment hole 1 of the adjustment cap 17.
6 and the air intake hole 13 of the upright wall 12 of the lid body 5 to allow outside air to flow into the air conditioning chamber 18,
The outside air is mixed with the mixture of chemical solution and steam to lower the temperature. To adjust the temperature, rotate the adjustment cap 17 as appropriate, and
The air inflow opening into the air intake hole 13 is adjusted by widening or narrowing, and the amount of air flowing into the air adjustment chamber 18 is adjusted.
