【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side view of an electric incense burner according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line VV of FIG. In the figure, 10 is a bowl-shaped incense burner main body, and 20 is a perfume saucer having a substantially V-shaped vertical section. The incense burner body 10 is a casting, and the perfume tray 20 is formed of a heat-resistant non-metal such as ceramic. The incense burner main body 10 is composed of a lower portion 11 formed of a curved wall and an upper portion 12 formed of a vertical wall.

The fragrance tray 20 is composed of a substantially cylindrical central portion 21 and a peripheral edge portion 22 extending obliquely upward from the upper portion of the central portion 21. From the upper surface of the central portion 21 to the middle of the peripheral portion 22, there is a concave portion 23 that serves as a saucer for the fragrance. In the central portion of the concave portion 23, a non-metallic material 24 having a heat insulating property is embedded. An electric heating element 30 is embedded in 24.

The electric heating element 30 is formed, for example, by incorporating a nichrome wire or the like in a ceramic layer. The lead wires 31 and 32 of the electric heating element 30 extend vertically through the central portion 21 and are connected to a connector 33 fixed to a holder 40. The holder 40 is arranged inside the pedestal 41 and is fixed to the bottom surface 25 of the incense burner body 10 together with the pedestal 41 with screws 42. The holder 40 and the pedestal 41 are formed by bending a metal plate into a U shape, and are open in the horizontal direction in FIG. The fragrance tray 20 is placed on the upper surface 41a of the pedestal 41 via a plate 43 having a heat insulating property and fixed by screws 44. The lower end 33a of the connector 33 projects downward through a hole 26 formed in the center of the bottom surface 25 of the incense burner body 10 and is connected to a connector (not shown). The hole 26 is formed to be large, and a gap 26 a is formed between the hole 26 and the connector 33. On the bottom surface 25, three legs 27 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

The peripheral edge portion 22 of the perfume saucer 20 is positioned such that its tip 22a is radially outside of the opening 12a of the upper portion 12 of the incense burner body 10 and radially outward of the most swollen portion of the lower portion 11. Is formed so as to extend. That is, in FIG. 5, the outer diameter X of the fragrance tray 20 is larger than the outer diameter Y1 of the upper portion 12 and the outer diameter Y2 of the lower portion 11, and the electric incense burner of the present invention is viewed from above as shown in FIG. In some cases, the incense burner main body 10 is hidden in the perfume receiving tray 20 so that only the perfume receiving tray 20 can be seen.

On the lower surface of the peripheral edge portion 22 of the fragrance receiving plate 20, a step portion 22b continuous in the circumferential direction is formed. The radius Z (FIG. 5) of the step portion 22b is substantially equal to the radius of the inner diameter of the opening 12a.

On the other hand, on the upper edge 12b of the upper portion 12 of the incense burner main body 10, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of substantially semicircular cutouts 12c are formed at equal intervals, and the cutouts 12c are fragrances. The bottom surface of the peripheral edge portion 22 of the tray 20 is closed from above to form a hole. The tip 22a of the peripheral portion 22 of the fragrance tray 20 is formed to have a protrusion 122a extending to a position lower than the lower edge of the cutout 12c. That is, in FIG. 5, the point B of the protrusion 122a is located lower than the point A of the notch 12c.

The electric incense burner having the above configuration is assembled, for example, as follows. Outside the incense burner main body 10, the fragrance saucer 20 in which the electric heating element 30 is embedded is first placed on the upper surface 41 a of the pedestal 41 via the plate 43 and fixed with the screw 44. Next, the holder 40 is arranged in the pedestal 41, and the lead wires 31 and 32 are connected to the connector 33. Then, the thus-assembled perfume saucer 10, pedestal 41, and holder 40 are put into the incense burner body 10 from above the incense burner body 10 through the opening 12a, and the bottom surface of the peripheral edge portion 22 The step portion 22b is brought into contact with the upper edge 12b of the upper portion 12 so as to be fitted thereto, and at the same time, the lower end 33a of the connector 33 is projected downward from the hole 26, and the pedestal 41 and the holder 40 are fixed to the bottom surface 25 with the screw 42. ..

In the electric incense burner configured as described above, when the electric incense burner is viewed from above, the incense burner main body 10 is hidden in the perfume receiving tray 20 and only the perfume receiving tray 20 can be seen, which is different from the conventional example shown in FIG. Since there is no such gap 4, the appearance when viewed from above is good. Further, since the tip 22a of the peripheral edge portion 22 of the fragrance tray 20 has a protruding portion 122a extending to a position lower than the lower edge of the cutout 12c, the incense burner main body 10 when viewed from the side. The upper edge 12b and the notch 12c of the upper part 12 of the above are hidden by the projecting portion 122a and cannot be seen, and the joint between the perfume tray 20 and the incense burner body 10 cannot be seen. In this way, since the joint between the fragrance saucer 20 and the incense burner body 10 is not visible from the side, the electric incense burner having the above-described configuration looks like a unitary body when viewed from the side, and has a good appearance with a sense of unity. Present. Moreover, since only the fragrance saucer 20 can be seen from above, the appearance is more integrated. Further, since there is no gap 4 as in the conventional example, there is no problem that the fragrance is clogged in the gap or the fragrance drops into the incense burner body from the gap.

Further, in the electric incense burner having the above-described structure, since an air passage is formed from the gap 26a of the hole 26 of the bottom surface 25 to the notch 12c through the inside of the incense burner main body 10, the heat of the perfume saucer 20 is transferred to the incense burner main body. It is efficiently discharged to the outside of 10. Moreover, since the incense burner main body 10 and the perfume receiving tray 20 are only in contact with each other at the upper edge 12b and the step portion 22b, the heat transfer from the perfume receiving tray 20 to the incense burner main body 10 is small. Therefore, the burning of the incense burner body 10 is suppressed, and the person who touches the incense burner body 10 is prevented from being burned.

Further, since a step portion 22b is formed on the lower surface of the peripheral edge portion 22 so as to be in contact with the upper edge 12b so that the upper edge 12b is contacted with the peripheral edge portion 22, the perfume tray 10, the pedestal 41, and the holder 40 are integrally formed. The center is positioned only by bringing the step portion 12d into contact with the upper edge 12c when it is put in the housing 10 and fixed. Therefore, positioning is easy and there is no eccentricity as in the conventional example. Further, since it can be assembled simply by putting it in the incense burner body 10 as an integral body and fixing it with the screw 42, it is easy to assemble, and easy to remove and disassemble, so maintenance is also easy. Further, the hole 26 may be formed in a large size, and it is not necessary to form the hole 26 with precise dimensions, so that the hole 26 is easily processed.

Instead of the notch 12c, a hole 12d may be formed in the upper portion 12 as shown in FIG.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the electric incense burner of the present invention has the following effects. (1) Since the perfume saucer 20 is placed on the incense burner main body 10 from above the opening 12 of the incense burner main body 10 and the peripheral edge portion 22 of the perfume saucer 20 extends below the edge of the opening 12, It is possible to eliminate the gap as in the conventional example and improve the appearance, and also to present a good appearance with a sense of unity. (2) The hole 26 through which the connector 33 connected to the electric heating element 30 via the lead wires 31 and 32 is projected is formed in the bottom surface 25 of the incense burner main body 10 to be larger than the diameter of the connector 33 (the lower end 33a thereof). Since the hole 12d or the notch 12c is formed in the wall of the upper portion 12 of the incense burner body 10, an air passage leading from the gap 26a of the hole 26 to the hole 12d or the notch 12c can be formed in the incense burner body 10, and the perfume tray The exhaust heat of 20 can be satisfactorily performed.
