Further, an internal circulation path 18 formed of a duct is provided in the lower portion of the vehicle compartment 16, and a front opening 19 communicating with the vehicle compartment 16 and the outside air introduction port 17 is provided at a front end portion of the internal circulation path 18. It is provided. A rear opening 20 that communicates with the vehicle compartment 16 is provided at the rear end of the internal circulation path 17, and a discharge port 21 that communicates with the outside is provided below the rear opening 20. In the vicinity of the discharge port 21, the rear valve 2 that selectively opens and closes the discharge port 21 and the internal circulation path 18
A front valve 23 that selectively opens and closes the outside air introduction port 17 and the front opening 19 is pivotally supported at the front end of the internal circulation path 18.

When the internal air circulation mode is to be formed, as shown by the solid line, the front valve 23 closes the outside air inlet 17 to open the front opening 19, and the rear valve 22.
The outlet 21 is closed and the internal circulation path 18 is released. As a result, the air in the vehicle compartment 16 flows into the internal circulation path 18 from the rear opening 20, and then returns to the vehicle compartment 16 again via the front opening 19. Further, when the outside air introduction mode is formed, as shown by the chain line, the front valve 23
The front opening 19 is closed to open the outside air introduction port 17, and the rear valve 22 closes the internal circulation path 18 to open the discharge port 21. As a result, the outside air flows into the vehicle compartment 16 through the outside air introduction port 17, and the air that has flowed into the vehicle compartment 16 is discharged to the outside through the rear opening 20 and the discharge port 21.

In the automobile 15 having such an air conditioner, the evaporation device 1 is arranged as shown in FIG. That is, the upper evaporation passage 11 is arranged to face the inside of the vehicle compartment 16, and the lower evaporation passage 12 is arranged to face the rear opening 19.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration of the evaporation device 1. That is, information from the operation unit 26 and the air conditioning equipment 27 is input to the CPU 24 via the external input terminal 25. The operation unit 26 includes a power switch, a switch for setting MODE 0 to 2 to be described later, and the like.
Various switches required for this evaporation device 1 are provided. Further, a signal indicating the operation mode of the front valve 23 or the rear valve 22, that is, the above-mentioned inside air circulation mode and outside air introduction mode is input from the air conditioning equipment 27 mounted on the vehicle 15 side.

The CPU 24 has the heater 14
A, 14B, and a valve drive unit 2 that drives the switching valve 10
8 are connected via an external output terminal 32. Further, the CPU 24 includes a timer circuit 29 and a ROM 30.
And the RAM 31 are connected. The ROM 30 stores a program necessary for operating the evaporation device 1, and as shown in FIG. 8, is composed of time data, operation mode, and air-conditioning operation mode data.
M data is stored. Time data is TIME1
.About.3, which are stored as constants (timer values), and the operation mode data indicates the operating state of the evaporation device 1 stored in correspondence with MODE 0-2. In addition, as the air conditioning operation mode data, the above-described inside air circulation mode and outside air introduction mode that can be formed in an automobile equipped with the evaporation device 1 are stored.

In this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure, when using this evaporation device, as shown in FIG.
With the liquid absorbent core 5 in contact with the corresponding heaters 14A and 14B, the chemical liquid cartridge 3A,
Load 3B. Then, when the power switch provided in the operation unit 26 is turned on, the CPU 24 causes the CPU 24 shown in FIG.
The operation is started according to the flow shown in. That is, first perform the initial settings, reset the timer, and
The switching valve 10 is operated to open the evaporation port 8 (S
1). Next, it is determined whether or not MODE1 has been set by the user's operation, that is, whether or not fragrance evaporation has been set (S2). Then, when the fragrance evaporation is set, it is further determined in the air conditioning equipment 27 whether or not the inside air circulation mode is set (S).
3).

As a result of the discrimination between S2 and S3, MODE ≠
If it is 1, the standby mode, the deodorant evaporation mode, and the outside air introduction mode, the loop of S2 → S3 → S2 is repeated without performing the subsequent processing. That is, for example, when the user sets MODE2 to evaporate the deodorant after the power is turned on, the corresponding heater 14B is caused to generate heat without performing the processing from S3. As a result, the end of the liquid absorbent core 4 of the chemical liquid cartridge 3B containing the deodorant 6B is heated, and the deodorant 6B leaching into the end of the liquid absorbent core 4 starts to evaporate, The evaporated deodorant component diffuses into the vehicle compartment 16 through the evaporation port 8 and the upper evaporation passage 11. After the power is turned on, the user sets MODE1 to evaporate the fragrance, and if the mode is the outside air introduction mode at this time, the corresponding heater 14A is caused to generate heat without performing the processing from S4. As a result, the end of the liquid absorbent core 4 of the chemical liquid cartridge 3A containing the aromatic agent 6A is heated, and the aromatic agent 6A leaching at the end of the liquid absorbent core 4 starts to evaporate and evaporate. The aroma component diffuses into the vehicle compartment 16 through the evaporation port 8 and the upper evaporation passage 11.

However, after the user turns on the power, MODE1 is set to evaporate the fragrance, and when the mode is the internal air circulation mode at this time, the corresponding heater 14A is operated to generate heat, and then the process proceeds from S3 to S4. , It is determined whether or not the current value of the timer exceeds the value of TIME1. If TIMER <TIME1, the timer is incremented (S5) and the loop of S4 → S5 → S4 is repeated. When TIMER> TIME1, the process proceeds from S4 to S6. When the inside air circulation mode is set in this way, when the fragrance is evaporated by the MODE 1, the fragrance component flows along with the air in the passenger compartment 16 inside the internal circulation passage 18. As a result, some of the aroma components
It adheres to the inner wall surface of the internal circulation path 18.

In S6 and subsequent S7, MODE = 2
It is determined whether or not and whether MODE = 1. And
When MODE = 2 (deodorant evaporation) is set by the user, the process returns from S6 to S2, and when MODE = 1 (fragrance evaporation) is set, the process returns from S7 to S6. However, when MODE = 0 (standby) is set by the user, the process proceeds from S7 to S8, resets the timer, and then increments the timer until TIMER> TIME2, while performing a loop of S9 → S10 → S9. repeat. During this time, both heaters 14A, 14B
Has stopped the heat generation operation, and therefore, the fragrance and the deodorant are not evaporated.

When TIMER> TIME2, the process proceeds from S9 to S11 to determine whether or not the state is the inside air circulation mode, and if it is the inside air circulation mode, switch to the evaporation port 9 (S12). . By this processing of S12, the switching valve 10 closes the evaporation port 8 and the evaporation port 9
The storage chamber 7 is in a state of communicating with the rear opening 20 of the internal circulation passage 18 through the evaporation port 9 and the lower evaporation passage 12 by being driven to the position where the internal circulation passage 18 is opened.

Next, the timer is reset (S13),
Subsequently, the deodorant evaporation process (S14) is executed. This S
By the processing of 14, the heater 14B operates to generate heat, the end of the liquid absorption core 4 of the chemical liquid cartridge 3B containing the deodorant 6B is heated, and the exudation exuding to the end of the liquid absorption core 4 is eliminated. Odorant 6B begins to evaporate. And TIMER> T
Until the IME3 is reached, the loop of S14 to S16 is repeated while incrementing the timer. During this time, the deodorized components that have evaporated are flown into the rear opening 20 through the evaporation port 9 and the lower evaporation passage 12, and then flow through the internal circulation passage 18 toward the front opening 19. Therefore, when the fragrance is evaporated in the above-described inside air circulation mode, the fragrance of the fragrance component attached to the inner wall surface of the internal circulation passage 18 is deodorized by the deodorant component, thereby forming the internal circulation passage 18. The generation of unique fragrance due to chemical reaction between the component and the fragrance component is prevented, and when TIMER> TIME2, EN
Proceed to D.

Therefore, when the user again sets MODE = 1 to evaporate the fragrance in the inside air circulation mode, the aroma due to the aroma component evaporated and the internal circulation path 18
The unique fragrance due to a chemical reaction between the component forming the fragrance and the fragrance component does not mix with each other. Therefore, the original fragrance can be obtained only by evaporating the fragrance 6A contained in the chemical liquid cartridge 3A.

In this embodiment, the deodorant 6B is used.
And two chemical liquid cartridges 3A containing the aromatic agent 6A,
Although the evaporation device 1 having the configuration in which 3B is accommodated is shown, a plurality of chemical liquid cartridges each accommodating different aromatics may be disposed in the accommodation chamber. In the case of such a configuration, after evaporating a certain fragrance, when evaporating a different fragrance next time, if the deodorant is evaporated, the mixture of the fragrances evaporated before and after is prevented. It is possible to obtain the original fragrance of each fragrance.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, the chemicals that evaporate the fragrance component and the chemicals that evaporate the deodorant component are selectively evaporated. Can be deodorized with a deodorant component. Therefore, when the aroma component is evaporated again,
It is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the aroma caused by the evaporated aroma component and the different aroma generated due to the chemical reaction between the aroma component previously evaporated and the member for partitioning the space are mixed with each other. Only by evaporation of air freshener,
The original fragrance can be obtained.

Further, since the deodorant component is vaporized in the duct used in the internal air circulation mode, the aroma component adhering to the duct can be effectively deodorized, and it can be expected in the passenger compartment. It is possible to eliminate the discomfort caused by the aroma. Further, after the aroma component is evaporated in the internal air circulation mode, the deodorant component is evaporated into the duct, so that the aroma component adhering to the duct and the constituent members of the duct are chemically different from each other. The generation of aroma can be effectively prevented.
