Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deodorant container, and more particularly to a deodorant container capable of controlling the amount of deodorant emitted in accordance with the temperature change in the room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Usually, a deodorant is used in a place with a particularly bad odor,
For example, it was used by being installed in a toilet, a room with pets, etc., but recently air conditioning systems such as cooling and heating have been applied to buildings, and noise-preventing windows that do not open increase in each room from the viewpoint of noise prevention. On the other hand, it has become possible to maintain a good indoor environment by arranging growable ornaments such as plants in the room.

However, while the good environment as described above can be obtained, in addition to the body odor of human beings, the bad odor that organic substances such as foods rot, and the mold odor generated from mold on the building materials, viable ornaments are arranged. Therefore, for example, in fresh flower cultivation in the room, fertilizer and water are supplied until the seedlings bloom, so that the bad odor generated from the fertilizer etc. causes the room to be filled with the bad odor and avoid the environment from deteriorating. I couldn't do it.

Therefore, in order to improve such an unpleasant environment, it has been proposed to use a deodorant, and the deodorant contained in a container has been placed indoors.

[0005]

However, when the deodorant contained in the container as described above is used, the bad odor disappears, but the unpleasant odor in the room becomes strong especially when the room temperature is high. On the other hand, the effect of the deodorant was reduced, and therefore it was not always possible to keep the room in the desired good environment. Further, if the amount of the deodorant emitted in the room is set to an appropriate amount at room temperature, there is a problem that a bad odor becomes noticeable as the temperature in the room increases, and the effect of the deodorant decreases.

Therefore, as a result of various investigations by the present inventors to control the emission amount of the deodorant, the emission amount of the deodorant was compressed by a temperature-movable member with a flexible porous substance containing the deodorant. By doing so, it has been found that a sufficient amount of deodorant can be supplied, and thereby a satisfactory indoor environment can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed here. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a deodorant container capable of controlling the emission amount of the deodorant according to the temperature change in the room.

[0007]

The above objects of the present invention are achieved by the following inventions. (1) In a deodorant container having a plurality of through holes on the upper surface,
An eraser characterized in that it has a saucer on which a flexible porous substance containing a deodorant is placed, which is vertically movable near the upper surface, and has a spring that can be moved up and down depending on the temperature in the lower part of the saucer. Odorant container.

(2) In a deodorant container having a plurality of through holes on its upper surface, there is a saucer on which a flexible porous substance containing the deodorant is placed, which is vertically movable near the upper surface. A deodorant container characterized in that the space surrounded by the bottom surface of the tray and the deodorant container is airtight.

(3) The deodorant container according to claim 2, wherein the space surrounded by the bottom surface of the saucer and the deodorant container is filled with water.

The present invention will be described in more detail below. According to the present invention, by raising and lowering the saucer in the deodorant container at a temperature, the porous surface in the saucer is compressed by the upper surface having the through hole and the saucer, and the deodorant is easily evaporated so that the temperature can be improved. It is possible to emit sufficient deodorant under high conditions.

In the present invention, as the control member capable of moving the saucer up and down depending on the temperature, a combination of an ordinary spring or rubber and a shape memory alloy spring, a bias type bidirectional shape memory alloy spring, a volume expandable liquid is used. Etc. can be used, but a combination of an ordinary spring and a shape memory alloy spring is particularly preferable.

As the shape memory alloy spring, 15 ° C. to 40 ° C.
Those having a martensitic transformation start temperature (Ms point) at ℃ are preferable, and examples thereof include Ni—Ti alloys and Ni—Ti—C.
However, the material is not limited to this material as long as it has unidirectional or bidirectional stress depending on the temperature change.

As the deodorant container used in the present invention,
The container is not particularly limited and may have any shape or structure, but it is required that the container has a structure in which a saucer can be installed on the upper part. Further, the number of through holes provided on the upper surface of the deodorant container is arbitrarily determined by the diameter of the through holes, but it is preferable to provide as many through holes as small as possible. For example, a wire net, a plastic net, a plate having through holes uniformly provided on the entire surface, and the like are preferable.

As the deodorant used in the present invention, deodorants such as flavonoids and catechins are often used, but in general, widely used deodorant fragrances are used to remove the odor of citrus fruits. Some commonly used fragrances, aromatic odors, forest odors, rose odors, synthetic fragrances, and masking fragrances are used.

[0015]

According to the present invention, the temperature rises and the saucer 5 rises, and the flexible porous substance containing the deodorant in the saucer is compressed on the upper plate 3 having a plurality of through holes, and the deodorant therein is decompressed. When the odorant seeps out, the deodorant easily diffuses and a sufficient amount of the deodorant evaporates. Therefore, even if the temperature rises and the unpleasant odor increases in the room, the deodorant is sufficiently diffused, so that a good environment is maintained.

When a bias type bidirectional shape memory alloy spring is used as a member for raising the tray when the temperature rises, the action is that when the temperature is low, the action of a normal spring causes a predetermined height. However, when the temperature rises, the shape memory alloy spring expands by overcoming the stress of the normal spring and pushes up the saucer. As a result, the porous substance in the saucer is compressed and the deodorant contained therein is exuded, so that evaporation is facilitated.

Further, when air or water is used as a member for raising the tray as a means for making the space surrounded by the bottom surface of the tray and the deodorant container airtight, the volume of the air or water expands due to the temperature rise. So the saucer rises accordingly.

[0018]

The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a deodorant container, that is, the container 1 has a lid 4 having a double wall on the upper part thereof, and a wire mesh 3 on the bottom of the inner wall of the lid 4. Is set up with tension. A tray 5 is supported on the upper portion of the container 1 by a bias type bidirectional shape memory alloy spring, and an upper end of the tray 5 is fitted between the double walls of the lid 4. The sponge 2 is placed in the tray 5 and is further filled with the deodorant 15, and the sponge 2 is permeated and contained therein.

The bias type bidirectional shape memory alloy spring provided between the deodorant container 1 and the tray 5 is such that the support piece 11 is movable on the protrusion of the U-shaped metal fitting 6 and on the mandrel 10. And a coil 9 of a shape memory alloy and a coil 8 of a normal spring are arranged on both sides. The shape memory alloy coil 9 is a Ni—Ti alloy having a transformation point at 25 ° C.

It can be moved up and down around the mandrel 10.

As the deodorant 8, a fragrance composition prepared by dissolving a lemon fragrance in polyethylene glycol was used. When such a deodorant container was placed in the room, the deodorant was released moderately in the morning when the temperature was low, and a good indoor environment was maintained. When the temperature rose to 28 ° C in the afternoon, the saucer 5 rose and the deodorant liquid overflowed to the top of the wire net. Therefore

The deodorant was able to evaporate sufficiently, the amount of emission increased, and the room was filled with the odor of the deodorant and the environment was favorable. When the temperature in the room dropped to 20 ° C., the saucer 5 was lowered by the action of the ordinary spring 8, and the surface of the sponge 2 in the saucer was not filled with the deodorant liquid.

Example 2 In the deodorant container described in Example 1 and shown in FIG. 1, an airtight member 13 is provided around the bottom surface of the tray 3 instead of the bias type bidirectional shape memory alloy spring, and the container is formed. The inside of the container was made airtight by the wall surface of No. 1 and the airtight member 13. First, the airtight lid 16 provided on the bottom of the container was opened, the container was filled with water, and then the lid 16 was placed under the airtight. Air or other liquid may be used instead of water.

Then, the deodorant 15 was poured from the wire net 3 into the tray 5. The deodorant container was placed in the same room as in Example 1. At the time of temperature rise, the volumetric expansion of water raised the tray 5 and an excellent indoor environment was obtained as in Example 1.
