Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a container for accommodating a gradually-released sustained-release drug such as a fragrance.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Generally, the fragrance is stored in a container and used in a room or the like, and the fragrance is gradually diffused from the opening of the container to maintain the fragrance in the room.

Since the fragrance is generally a sustained-release agent, the fragrance cannot be maintained in a state where the opening of the container is completely opened. Therefore, the opening area of the opening is moderate. It is closed with a lid or the like having a gap.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, conventional containers of this type containing fragrance have some prima facie consideration to maintain fragrance in that the opening of the container is not completely opened, and the fragrance has a fragrance of about 28%. It can be maintained for about 30 days, but the opening area of the container opening is constant.

Therefore, although the fragrance effect is good in the initial stage of use, the fragrance effect gradually decreases with the passage of days, and the fragrance effect is almost reduced to about 30 days when the fragrance maintenance limit day is reached. It was the current situation that I could not maintain.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and by controlling the fragrance effect of the fragrance, the fragrance effect can be homogenized, the number of days for maintaining the fragrance effect can be increased, and the nighttime can be improved. The objective is to bring various effects such as stopping when not in use, and controlling the fragrance according to the type of fragrance.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made as a solution to such a problem, and means for solving the problem include a container body 1 for storing a sustained-release drug such as a fragrance, and a container body 1 of the container body 1. The container is constituted by a control means for freely controlling the release amount of the sustained-release drug from the opening 2.

Further, more specific means include a container body 1 for accommodating a sustained-release drug such as an aromatic and an opening area of the opening 2 of the container body 1, opening / closing time, or the opening 2 The container is composed of a control means for freely controlling at least one of the air flow rates in the vicinity of the container.

As the control means, for example, a controller 4 including an information storage circuit that stores information for control is used.

Further, the opening area of the opening 2 and the opening / closing time are directly adjusted by, for example, the valve 3, and the air volume near the opening 2 is directly adjusted by, for example, the fan 8. ..

[0011]

[Action]

 Since the container for sustained-release agents such as fragrances of the present invention is provided with the control means as described above, the control means allows, for example, the opening area of the opening, the opening / closing time, or the vicinity of the opening as described above. The release rate of the above-mentioned sustained release drug can be freely controlled by controlling the air flow rate, etc., and as a result, the sustained release property can be reduced by, for example, reducing the opening area or shortening the opening / closing time at the beginning of the use period. By controlling the release amount of the drug to be relatively small and increasing the opening area and opening / closing time with the passage of time, the release amount of the sustained release drug as a whole becomes extremely extreme with the passage of time. It does not fall to.

[0012] In addition, if the control means is controlled so that the release amount of the sustained-release drug is reduced as compared with the conventional case where the sustained-release drug is naturally released, the aroma effect of the fragrance as a whole is improved. The duration can be increased.

In any case, the control means as described above makes it possible to freely control the release amount of the sustained-release drug according to the purpose of use and the like.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, the inside of which is filled with a fragrance agent 10, and an opening 2 at an upper portion thereof is a solenoid valve as an example of a valve for opening and closing the opening 2. 3 is attached.

Reference numeral 4 is a controller for operating the solenoid valve 3 to control the opening time and the opening area of the opening 2 of the container body 1. An information storage circuit is provided which stores a desired program as information for controlling the opening time and the opening area.

Reference numeral 5 indicates a drive switch for driving the controller 4, and reference numeral 6 indicates a battery for the controller 4.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a fan for adjusting the amount of fragrance 10 volatilized from the opening 2 of the container body 1 above the opening 2 of the container body 1 so as to be driven by a motor 9. It is provided in.

The motor 9 for driving the fan 8 is connected to the controller 4 via the drive switch 5, and the controller 4 controls the rotation speed of the motor 9 and the like. Thereby, the rotation speed of the fan 8 is controlled.

The fragrance container 11 having the above-described structure is used, for example, installed in a room. When using the fragrance container, the drive switch 5 is first turned on and the controller 4 is turned on. And

At the same time, the motor 9 for the fan 8 is driven.

In the initial stage of use, since the amount of fragrance 10 emitted is relatively large, the controller 4 is controlled so that the opening time of the opening 2 of the container body 1 is short and the opening area is small. Then, the solenoid valve 3 is operated.

Further, the number of rotations of the motor 9 is also reduced by the control of the controller 4. This also reduces the rotation speed of the fan 8.

Then, as the number of days elapses, the natural emission amount of the fragrance 10 decreases, so the controller 4 controls the solenoid valve 3 to gradually increase the opening time of the opening 2 of the container body 1. In addition, the opening area of the opening 2 is gradually increased.

Further, when the motor 9 is also controlled by the controller 4 at the same time and the rotation speed of the motor 9 is gradually increased, the rotation speed of the fan 8 is also gradually increased, and the air volume near the opening 2 is increased. Will also be adjusted.

Therefore, if the opening time of the opening 2 is gradually lengthened, the opening area of the opening 2 is gradually increased, and the rotation speed of the motor 9 is gradually increased, the number of days generally increases. It is possible to keep the emission amount of the fragrance 10 that decreases with the passage of time as constant as possible.

Further, when not in use, such as at night, by controlling the controller 4 to close the electromagnetic valve 3, it is possible to stop the emission of the fragrance 10.

As described above, by controlling the solenoid valve 3 and the motor 9 with the controller 4, the opening time and the opening area of the opening 2 can be controlled, and the rotation speed of the fan 8 can also be controlled. It has become possible to freely adjust the amount of fragrance 10 emitted from Part 2.

In the above embodiment, the amount of fragrance 10 emitted from the opening 2 is adjusted by adjusting the opening time, the opening area of the opening 2 of the container body 1, and the air volume in the vicinity of the opening 2. However, controlling all of the opening time, opening area, and air volume is not always an essential condition for the present invention. For example, by controlling any one of these three elements, the fragrance 10 It is possible to control the emission amount of

Further, the type of valve for adjusting the opening time and the opening area of the opening 2 is not limited to the solenoid valve 3 of this embodiment, and other types of valves can be used. The opening time and the opening area may be adjusted by other means.

Further, the air volume adjusting means is not limited to the fan 8 as in the embodiment.

In any case, the means for controlling the emission amount of the fragrance 10 emitted from the opening 2 of the container body 1 is not limited to the above embodiments.

Although the present invention is mainly applied to the above fragrances, it can be applied to deodorants and the like in addition to the fragrances. In addition to such odor-causing agents, it can be applied to insecticides and mildew-proofing agents. In short, any type of sustained-release agent can be applied.

Further, the shape and material of the container body 1 are not limited, and the design can be arbitrarily changed as long as the sustained release drug such as an aromatic can be stored.

Further, the number of container bodies 1 is not limited to one as in the embodiment, and two or more can be used. In this case, different kinds of fragrances can be used. At the same time, there is an advantage that, for example, different kinds of fragrances can be released at any time.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention provides a container body for accommodating a sustained release drug such as a fragrance, and a control for freely controlling the amount of the sustained release drug released from the opening of the container body. Since the container is constructed by means of steps, the release amount of the sustained-release drug can be freely controlled by controlling the opening area of the opening, the opening / closing time, or the air volume near the opening as described above. As a result, the release area of the sustained-release drug is controlled to be relatively small by, for example, reducing the opening area or shortening the opening / closing time at the beginning of the use period. If the opening area and opening / closing time are increased with the passage of time, the total release amount of the sustained-release drug will not decrease extremely with the passage of time, and the release amount will be minimized during the period of use. The effect is that it can be maintained in a uniform state.

Further, if the control means is controlled so as to reduce the emission amount as compared with the conventional case where the sustained release drug volatilizes spontaneously, the aroma effect of the fragrance as a whole will be improved. It is also possible to increase the duration. Therefore, it is possible to extend the life of a battery or the like when using an electric system as the control means, and also to extend the maintenance period even when such a container is commercialized. There is an advantage that.

Further, it is possible to arbitrarily control the emission amount of the fragrance from the opening by the control means according to the kind of the fragrance and the intensity of odor.

Further, when not in use, such as at night, it is possible to stop the emission of the fragrance by controlling the opening of the container body to a completely closed state by the control means. However, there is an advantage that unnecessary consumption of the fragrance can be prevented.

In any case, in the present invention, since the emission amount of the fragrance can be freely controlled by the control means, various effects are produced depending on the purpose and application. ..
