The fan motor 73 is configured to be energized when the above-described start switch 66 is turned on, and cut off when the stop switch 68 is turned off. When the start switch 66 is turned on, the cylinder 61 rotates to play a melody, and at the same time, the driving device 69 rotates to open the opening 50a of the container 50, and the blower 70 rotates to suck outside air from the rear inlet 38. Then, the fragrance liquid adhering to the core material 59a at the port 50a is vaporized and discharged from the outlet 40 to the outside.

[0023]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the lid is opened, the fragrance liquid is quickly and stably diffused to the surroundings from the mouth of the container. Further, since the lid is closed when not in use, the fragrance liquid in the container does not spontaneously diverge or deteriorate in the diverging case. Also, the opening and closing walls open and close the window holes of the diverging case formed for taking in and out the container containing the aromatic liquid and the lid unit for opening and closing the container, and the container and the lid unit are attached to the opening and closing wall. , Putting the container in and out of the divergent case (replacement)
Can be quick and easy. In addition, a storage case is provided in which the opening / closing wall detached from the diverging case is fitted, and the storage case is provided with a pressing tool for pressing the lid unit attached to the opening / closing wall toward the mouth of the container.
