[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a fragrance device, and more particularly to a fragrance device of a type that volatilizes a fragrance to generate a fragrance.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, in offices, showrooms, and the like, it has begun to use scents as a form of internal decoration means.

Conventionally, there is a device as shown in FIG. 5 as a device for supplying a scent to a place having a relatively small floor area (about 10 to 70 square meters) such as in an office.

In this device, a solid gel 2 and an air blowing device 3 are housed in a housing 1, and the solid gel 2 is allowed to stand still, or air is blown to the solid gel to remove the aroma volatilized by natural vaporization. It was configured to blow out by the blower 3. The flow of aroma is indicated by arrows in the figure.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional aroma generating device, the aroma caused by the natural vaporization of the solid gel 2 is sent to the outside by the blower device 3, so that the aroma concentration may decrease or the aroma may change over time.

As a result, there has been a problem that the aroma having the optimum concentration cannot be sufficiently supplied to the target space during the target period.

Further, in the device having another aroma generating method, there is a problem that the device itself becomes expensive because maintenance is complicated and the aroma generating device is largely involved.

[0008] From the above, there is only a fragrance generating device that uses an impregnating material such as a non-woven fabric, which is easy to maintain and can reliably maintain the concentration and quality of fragrance for a certain period. No device of this type using an impregnating material can be used simply and repeatedly.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and provides an aroma generating device suitable for a place to which aroma is to be supplied and capable of stably supplying an appropriate aroma over a long period of time. With the goal.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the fragrance producing device according to the present invention, a tank filled with a fragrance or a fragrance solution, an oil bath for temporarily stocking the fragrance or a fragrance solution, and a liquid level position of the oil bath That is, the cap supplies the perfume or the perfume solution from the tank to the oil bath, the oil-absorbing polymer that absorbs and vaporizes the perfume or the perfume solution from the oil bath, and the generated wind vaporizes on the oil-absorbing polymer. It is characterized in that it is provided with a blowing means for causing the above-mentioned fragrance or fragrance solution to flow out.

[0011]

[Action]

 With the above-mentioned configuration of the fragrance device, the fragrance or fragrance solution (hereinafter simply referred to as “fragrance”) is sucked up by the oil-absorbing polymer and vaporized on the polymer surface, and the vaporized fragrance is blown by the blowing means. It is sent out of the device.

The liquid level of the perfume or the like in the oil bath which is lowered by the vaporization is compensated by the new perfume or the like sent from the tank.

Therefore, once the fragrance or the like is filled, the fragrance having a constant concentration, strength and quality is stably supplied until the fragrance and the like in the tank are exhausted, and it is easier than in the case of using the conventional aroma generating device. A comfortable environment can be formed over a long period of time.

【Example】

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of a fragrance producing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the aroma generating device 10 is roughly composed of a aroma generating unit 19, a tank unit 18, a control unit 21, and a blower unit 20.

The function of each of the units 18 to 21 will be schematically described. The aroma generating unit 19 is a unit in which the perfume or the perfume solution sucked up by the oil absorbing polymer 13 is vaporized on the surface of the oil absorbing polymer.

The tank unit 18 is a unit that supplies a fragrance or a fragrance solution to the fragrance unit 19, and the blower unit 20 is a unit that discharges the fragrance or the like vaporized by the fragrance unit 19 to the outside. Further, the control unit 21 is for controlling the operation of the blower unit 20.

Further, the respective units 18 to 21 having the above respective functions are integrated in a compact shape as shown in FIG. The integrated device is easy to install and move, and can be relocated from a space such as an office or showroom to a living space or a car interior space. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of each of the units 18 to 21 will be described.

FIG. 4 is a front view of the aroma generating unit 19 which is a feature of the present invention. In the figure, 13 is an oil-absorbing polymer, which absorbs perfume or the like supplied from a tank unit 18 described later from an oil bath 14 and vaporizes it from an exposed surface located on the upper surface.

In the conventional fragrance producing device, when the gel was installed, there was a significant difference in quality and concentration between the fragrance when opened and after a few weeks.

On the other hand, the method of vaporizing the fragrance and the like with the oil-absorbing polymer 13 is similar in quality and concentration to the conventional gel-type fragrance device, and is similar in quality and concentration to that at the time of filling. It is characterized in that it can be supplied over a long period of time, and it does not impair the ease of handling and the low cost of conventional gel types.

Reference numeral 23 is a blower, and its air volume is adjustable in the range of 0 to 1 cubic meter / minute. The wind generated by the blower 23 reaches the opening 22.

Therefore, the fragrance or the like sprayed or vaporized by the fragrance unit 19 is sent to the outside through the opening 22 by the wind generated by the blower 23, so that the scent can be felt near the device. become.

The blower unit 20 is controlled by a control unit 21 which will be described later, and the amount of the fragrance or the like that is vaporized is controlled by the amount of blast set by the control unit 21, and the fragrance emitted from the fragrance or the like is controlled by the blow. It is sent out of the device.

The tank unit 18 is generally composed of a fragrance tank 11, a cap 16, and a valve 17 provided inside the cap 16. The cap 16 is provided with a valve 17 and a spring 25 for discharging the perfume or the like into the oil bath 14 according to the amount of the perfume or the like in the oil bath 14.

As a general example of a mechanism for detecting the amount of liquid in the oil bath 14, the amount of liquid in the oil bath 14 decreases, and if air is above the set value above the oil bath, the perfume tank 11 is sealed. The valve 17 provided inside the cap 16 is opened, and air flows into the fragrance tank 11 to supply fragrance or the like to the oil bath 14.

The appropriate liquid surface position of the oil bath 14 is determined by the height of the protrusion 24 disposed inside the oil bath 14 and contacting the valve 17 inside the cap 16.

Here, the fragrance or the fragrance solution applied to the fragrance device 10 according to the present invention filled in the fragrance tank 11 will be described. In the fragrance producing apparatus 10 according to the present invention, as a stock solution of fragrance or the like, Ethylalcohol, 3-Metyl-3-Methoxy Butanol and a fragrance solution dissolved in water are used. Conventional scented space scented sprays can be broadly classified into those that use the capillarity of impregnating materials such as non-woven fabrics and those that use solid bases such as gels.

Each of the methods had its advantages and disadvantages in terms of maintainability, fragrance persistence, and continuous use using a refill. One of the excellent characteristics of the present invention is that it has the simplicity and reusability of a gel product and the fragrance lasts for a certain period of time like the method using an impregnating material.
