Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To move an aromatic liquid in a lower chamber to an upper chamber when a container main body is merely inverted and continuously spraying the aromatic liquid for a fixed time by providing a nozzle pipe through the upper plate of the upper chamber of the container main body vertically divided into two chambers, and providing a liquid supply pipe and a vent pipe on the container main body. SOLUTION: When an aromatic liquid is filled into the upper chamber 2 of a container main body 1, a lower chamber 3 including a liquid supply pipe 5 and the upper chamber 2 are filled with the atmospheric pressure, the liquid level in a nozzle 2b is kept at the same level as the liquid level of the upper chamber 2, and the aromatic function is kept at the stop state. To start the aromatic function, a reserve aromatic liquid is fed to a tray-like upper plate 2a, for example, and the liquid supply pipe 5 is filled with the reserve aromatic liquid. The liquid level in the nozzle 2b is raised, and the aromatic liquid is sprayed from the tip of the nozzle 2b. When the aromatic liquid of the upper chamber 2 is completely sprayed, the container main body 1 is inverted to move the aromatic liquid in the lower chamber 3 to the upper chamber 2 through a vent pipe 6. When the container main body 1 is returned to the erect attitude, it is returned to the original state.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the development of fragrances has been remarkable, and due to the deodorization in toilets and vehicles, the demand for them is also increasing recently in general homes and office reception rooms. Thus, the conventional fragrance or aroma diffuser of this kind is a method of spraying the fragrance contained in the container body by an aerosol method, a method of heating evaporation, and a method of electrically or mechanically diffusing. Etc. dominated, and in any case, some kind of energy source was needed to take them out.

In addition to the fragrance emitting means, the principle of the hourglass is applied to preliminarily mix the fragrance into the sand, or the felt core whose one end is exposed is immersed in the fragrance liquid of the container body. An energy-saving type that vaporizes by capillary action was also known.

[0004]

On the other hand, we humans, no matter how excellent or intense fragrance, if we continuously inhale it for a certain period of time, the irritation to the nostril mucosa will be paralyzed and the fragrance will be ameliorated. Disappearing is a widely experienced experience every day.

Therefore, it is natural that the fragrance emission depends on the size of the target space, but normally, the fragrance emission time for one time is from 2 to 2.
It is said that 5 minutes is preferable. However, in the case of sucking up fragrances using the aforementioned gas, heating, or a mechanism that electrically or mechanically emits fragrance, or a felt core, cut off the power source or shut off the outside air with a lid, etc. Other than the above, since the fragrance continues to be diffused, there is a problem that the fragrance is wasted a lot if the timing of the stop is shifted.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an aroma dispenser having an interior function mainly in a living room or a reception room of a general household.
As a concrete means, the lower end is opened near the middle plate of the upper chamber, that is, the bottom plate of the upper chamber, and the upper end is exposed from the upper plate of the upper chamber, at the center of the upper chamber of the container divided into the upper chamber and the lower chamber. While penetrating the nozzle pipe, on one side of the container body, an upper end opens to the upper plate surface, and a lower end of the replacement liquid pipe opens close to the bottom plate of the lower chamber, and on the other side of the container, an intermediate plate. A ventilation pipe that penetrates through and opens near the upper plate of the upper chamber is provided.

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, when an appropriate amount of aroma liquid is stored in the upper chamber in advance and the air pressure in the lower chamber is increased, the air flows into the upper chamber via the ventilation pipe and the aroma liquid is introduced. Since it acts on the surface, the fragrance liquid in the upper chamber, which is uniformly pressed, is ejected from the tip of the nozzle to the outside of the device and comes into contact with the outside air to vaporize the fragrance.

The jetting force (f) of the aroma liquid in this case is obtained by the following equation. f = (v + x)-(v + y) where x> y v ... atmospheric pressure (constant), x ... weight of aroma liquid in replacement fluid pipe, y
... Force required to push the aroma liquid from the upper end of the nozzle

Further, the spouted aroma liquid is received by the upper plate surface of the saucer and flows back into the lower chamber through the replacement liquid pipe. As the value of (y) in the above formula increases, the liquid level in the replacement fluid pipe decreases and the value of (x) decreases, and (f) approaches 0, that is, most of the aroma liquid is in the lower chamber side. After that, the spout of the aroma liquid is stopped.

As described above, while the value of (x) in the above equation does not fall below (y), the ejection from the nozzle is automatically continued as described above.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the aroma dispensing device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 showing the injection principle. In the figure, 1 is a container body, 2 is an upper chamber, and 3 is a lower chamber. The upper chamber 2 has a fine hole nozzle 2b which penetrates through the central portion of the saucer-shaped upper plate 2a and has a lower end which is close to the upper surface of the middle plate 4 and projects inside the container body 1 from the middle plate 4. It is separated from the lower chamber 3 through.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a replacement fluid pipe having an opening on the surface of the saucer-shaped upper plate 2a and having a lower end opened near the bottom plate 3a of the lower chamber 3,
Reference numeral 6 denotes a ventilation pipe that penetrates through the middle plate 4 and opens close to the lower surface of the upper plate of the upper chamber 2.

A fixed amount of aroma liquid (o) is introduced into the upper chamber 2 of the container body 1 having the above-mentioned structure through the nozzle 2b thereof.
Inject. In this state, since the lower chamber 3 and the upper chamber 2 including the replacement fluid pipe 5 are filled with the atmospheric pressure (v), the liquid level in the nozzle 2b also keeps the same level as the liquid level in the upper chamber 2, and the aroma releasing function is stopped. It is in. When the apparatus is started from this state as needed, for example, a preliminarily prepared preliminary fragrance liquid may be flowed onto the saucer-shaped upper plate 2a to fill the replacement fluid pipe 5 with the preliminary fragrance liquid. The above equation is established, the liquid level in the nozzle is pushed up, and the aroma liquid is ejected in the form of a fountain from the tip of the nozzle.

Once the ejection is started, the entire amount of the ejection liquid to the outside is returned from the saucer-shaped upper plate 2a to the lower chamber 3 through the replacement liquid pipe 5, and the inside of the lower chamber 3 has a relationship of (v + x). Therefore, the aroma liquid in the upper chamber 2 is continuously ejected from the nozzle 2b.

In this case, if the storage volumes of the aroma liquid in the upper chamber 2 and the lower chamber 3 and the effective diameters of the nozzle 2b, the replacement liquid pipe 5, and the ventilation pipe 6 are calculated and designed, the aroma liquid can be obtained. It is possible to freely set the ejection duration of (o) such as 3 to 5 minutes. Then, once the ejection for a preset time is completed, that is, when the aroma liquid in the upper chamber 2 is completely ejected,
By making the container body 1 upside down and moving the aroma liquid (o) stored in the lower chamber 3 to the upper chamber 2 via the ventilation pipe 6, the container body 1 is returned to the upright position at this time, It returns to the original state.

For starting the apparatus of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned supplement of the aroma liquid, a means for injecting air from the replacement liquid pipe 5 to increase the atmospheric pressure of the lower chamber 3 can be considered.

[0017]

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above mainly on the principle of spouting the fragrance liquid. However, in the actual commercialization, the movement state of the fragrance liquid in the upper chamber and the lower chamber is visually observed from the outside. Indoor unit products by coloring the scented liquid as possible or by constructing the container body 1 with a transparent plastic material to increase the added value by creating a dynamic aesthetic appearance and the design effect of the entire container. As a result, it is possible to further expand the usability.

In addition, according to the aroma dispenser of the present invention, the aroma liquid in the lower chamber can be moved to the upper chamber only by inversion of the container body, without using any other energy source. Since the fragrance liquid can be continuously ejected for a certain period of time, there is no waste in the consumption of the fragrance liquid, and it is possible to obtain a special effect such that the fragrance liquid can be economically used for a long period of time.
