Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an aroma generating apparatus for generating an aroma by heating an aroma body containing a fragrance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the trend of so-called aromatherapy which calms nerves by fragrance, burning incense has become popular. The incense is made by mixing a fragrance into charcoal powder or the like, and generally emits the aroma by burning the incense in a porcelain, ceramic or metal incense burner.

[0003]

However, incense burners have conventionally been used in incense burners, and are often shaped to be placed on a desk or shelf. Therefore, it was necessary to secure a space for placing the incense burner. In addition, when the incense is burned, the tar contained in the smoke adheres to the wall of the room or the like, and the room becomes dirty. In addition, not only does the fragrance contained in the incense emit, but also the charcoal powder contained in the incense burns and emits an odor that causes discomfort to humans. In addition, the scent generated by burning the scent is strong and good for those who enjoy incense, but is not suitable as a substitute for a fragrance used in a room. Further, the short burning time of the scent is one of the reasons why the scent is not suitable as a substitute for the fragrance. Furthermore, since the fragrance cannot stop the fragrance until it burns out, the burning time cannot be adjusted, which is inconvenient.

Therefore, it is conceivable to apply the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-22551 to heat an aromatic body by the heat generated by an infrared heater and generate an aromatic substance by this heating action. However, in this technology, in order to prevent burning of the aromatic substance and to adjust the amount of fragrance evaporated to an appropriate amount as a fragrance, a sensor that detects the heating temperature of the infrared heater and the heating value of the infrared heater are controlled. This requires a controller or the like, which increases the cost of the apparatus.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance generating apparatus which is capable of sufficiently exhibiting the effect of the fragrance by evaporating the fragrance without burning the fragrance body containing the fragrance, and having an inexpensive structure. It is to provide. Also,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance generating device that can adjust the transpiration time of the fragrance.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a fragrance generating apparatus which can effectively use an empty space on a desk or a shelf.

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fragrance generating apparatus for heating a fragrance containing a fragrance to evaporate the fragrance from the fragrance. An apparatus, comprising: a heater formed by insulatingly covering a thermistor element having a positive temperature characteristic with a synthetic resin; and a holding member that holds the aromatic body in a state that can receive heat from the heater. It is assumed that.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the aromatic body held by the holding member is heated by the heat generated by the heater, and the fragrance evaporates from the aromatic body. Therefore, for example, there is no possibility that a problem associated with the burning of the aromatic substance (incense), such as contamination of the room due to dust on the room and emission of the burnt smell of the aromatic substance, may occur. Further, since a thermistor element having a positive temperature characteristic is used as the heating element, a controller and a sensor for controlling the heating temperature are not required, and the cost of the apparatus is reduced. In addition, since the heat generation temperature is constant, the amount of fragrance emitted from the aromatic body can be kept constant.

Further, by turning on / off the power supply to the heater, the transpiration time of the fragrance can be adjusted. Further, the heat generation temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the material composition of the thermistor element, and the transpiration time per aromatic substance can be appropriately set without using a controller or a sensor for changing the heat generation temperature. be able to. Further, since the heater is formed by insulating the thermistor element with a synthetic resin, there is no risk of electric leakage.

Furthermore, since the aromatic body is held in a state capable of receiving the heat generated from the heater by the holding member, even when the aromatic body is used in a state where the aromatic body is erected, The aromatic body is heated by the heat generated by the heater, and the fragrance can be transcribed well.
Therefore, this fragrance generator can be used in a narrow place, for example, by attaching it to a photo stand or the like.

Further, the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the fragrance generating device further includes a heat radiating plate having one surface as a heater mounting surface and the other surface as a heat radiating surface for radiating heat from the heater.
2. The fragrance generating device according to claim 1, wherein the holding member holds the aromatic body in a state capable of receiving the heat radiation from the heat radiation surface.

According to the second aspect of the invention, the heat generated from the heater propagates through the heat radiating plate and is radiated from the entire heat radiating surface, so that the aromatic body can receive the heat radiated from the heat radiating surface. If held in a state where it can be done, the fragrance can be evaporated. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the device is increased, for example, the mounting position of the holding member can be changed.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a photo stand provided with an aroma generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the photo stand shown in FIG. 1 as viewed obliquely from the rear. The fragrance generator 1 is used, for example, in a state where it is attached to a photo stand 90.

The photo stand 90 has a main body portion 91 in which a space for accommodating a photograph is formed, and a support portion 92 for supporting the main body portion 91 in an upright state. The main body 91 has a thin box shape as a whole, and has an elliptical opening 93 at the front so that a photograph accommodated therein can be seen.
Are formed. A slit-shaped opening 94 is formed on the upper surface of the main body 91, and a photograph can be stored in the main body 91 through the opening 94.

The support 92 is formed integrally with the back of the main body 91. The support portion 92 is hollow, and its internal space communicates with a space for accommodating a photograph in the main body portion 91 through a substantially fan-shaped opening 95. FIG.
It is a side view showing the composition of the fragrance generating device concerning this embodiment. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the fragrance generation device 1 includes a heat radiating plate 11. The heat radiating plate 11 is made of a metal plate having excellent thermal conductivity, such as an aluminum plate, and is formed in a planar rectangular shape. On one surface of the heat radiating plate 11, a tablet-like aromatic body 80 mixed with a fragrance is provided.
A holding member 12 for holding (see FIG. 3) is fixed by, for example, an adhesive.

The holding member 12 is formed by processing a thin metal plate, and has a fixed plate 13 fixed with its back surface in contact with the heat radiating plate 11 and a grip provided on the front surface of the fixed plate 13. And a part 14. The grip portion 14 has a shape holding performance, whereby the holding member 12
Aroma body 80 interposed between grip portion 14 and heat sink 11
Can be held resiliently. Therefore, since the aromatic body 80 is held in a state of being substantially in close contact with the heat radiating plate 11, the heat of the heater 12 described later is efficiently transferred to the aromatic body 80.

On the surface of the heat sink 11 opposite to the surface on which the holding member 12 is attached, a heater 15 is provided.
It is attached in a state in which it is almost in close contact with 1. Specifically, the heater 15 is provided on the radiator plate 1 to which the aromatic body 80 is in close contact.
1 is located just behind the upper position. Therefore, the heat generated from the heater 15 is given to the radiator plate 11,
The heat is radiated from the surface of the radiator plate 11 to which the holding member 12 is fixed. That is, the surface of the heat radiating plate 11 to which the holding member 12 is fixed is a heat radiating surface, and the back surface is a heater mounting surface. Thereby, the aromatic body 80 held by the holding member 12 is heated, and the fragrance contained in the aromatic body 80 evaporates.

Further, since the heat generated from the heater 15 propagates through the heat radiating plate 11 and is radiated from the entire heat radiating surface, even if the aromatic body 80 is in contact with any part of the heat radiating plate 11, the fragrance can be efficiently removed. Can be transpired. Referring to FIG.
In the fragrance generation device 1, the heater 15 attached to the heat transfer plate 11 is housed in a space formed in the support portion 92 through an opening 95 formed on the back surface of the main body portion 91 of the photo stand 90. Like, for example, a photo stand 9 with an adhesive
It is attached to 0. Therefore, the user can cause the holding member 12 to hold the aromatic body 80 through the opening 93 formed on the front surface of the photo stand 90. Also,
The power cord 16 drawn from the heater 15 is connected to a commercial power supply (not shown), and the fragrance evaporated from the aromatic body 80 passes through an opening 94 formed on the upper surface of the main body 91 of the photo stand 90. It is emitted outside the photo stand 90.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the heater 15 partially cut away. FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along a line V-
It is sectional drawing seen from V. Further, FIG.
FIG. Hereinafter, the configuration of the heater 15 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The heater 15 is a positive temperature coefficient thermistor PTC (Po
A PTC element heating element 21 made of a ceramic semiconductor having a characteristic temperature coefficient (sitive temperature coefficient) is provided. In addition, the heater 15 includes an upper power supply member 31 and a lower power supply member 32 that are disposed oppositely above and below the PTC element heating element 21.
It has. PTC element heating element 21 and power supply member 3
The heat generating units 1 and 32 are sealed by an upper insulating case 51 and a lower insulating case 52 having electrical insulation while the cap 41 is covered.

The PTC element heating element 21 is mainly made of barium titanate, for example, and has a low resistance from room temperature to the Curie temperature Tc (rapid temperature change), but the resistance suddenly exceeds the Curie temperature Tc. This is a thermosensitive element having a characteristic that the value increases. Due to this characteristic, when a voltage is applied to the PTC element heating element 21 at a temperature lower than the Curie temperature Tc, the resistance value is small at first because the temperature is low, and a large current flows. Thereby, the temperature rises sharply. When the temperature exceeds the Curie temperature Tc, the resistance value suddenly increases, the current value decreases, and the heat generation decreases. Therefore, the temperature does not rise above a certain temperature, and the temperature is stabilized at a certain temperature. That is, the PTC element heating element 21 has a self-temperature control function. Therefore, a thermostat or a sensor is not required to control the heat generation temperature, and the cost of the fragrance generating device 1 can be reduced.

Further, since the heating temperature of the PTC element heating element 21 is constant, the amount of fragrance evaporating from the aromatic substance 80 (see FIG. 3) can be kept constant. In addition, PTC
The element heating element 21 can adjust the material composition to
The Curie temperature Tc can be changed. That is, PT
The heating temperature of the C element heating element 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the material composition. Therefore, the heat generation temperature of the PTC element heating element 21 is set to a temperature (for example, 50 ° C. to 50 ° C.) at which the fragrance is well evaporated and the aromatic body 80 does not burn.
By setting the temperature to 100 ° C.), it is possible to prevent the fragrance 80 from burning and emitting an odor that gives an unpleasant feeling to humans. Further, by adjusting the heating temperature of the PTC element heating element 21, the transpiration time per one aromatic substance can be set as appropriate.

The PTC element heating element 21 is formed in a disk shape as a whole, and a mounting hole 22 is formed at the center thereof so as to penetrate the upper and lower surfaces. The mounting hole 22 is formed in a size that allows a positioning shaft 53 formed in a lower insulating case 52 to be described later to be inserted. Also, electrodes 23 and 24 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the PTC element heating element 21, respectively.
Are formed.

The upper power supply member 31 has a disk portion 31a and a connection portion 31b formed on the same plane as the disk portion 31a, and is integrally formed of a conductive thin metal plate. Further, the lower power supply member 32 also has a circular plate portion 32a.
And a connecting portion 32b, and are integrally formed of a conductive metal thin plate. Disk portions 31a, 32
a is formed to have a size substantially equal to the outer diameter of the PTC element heating element 21, and has, in the center thereof, mounting holes 33, approximately the same diameter as the mounting holes 22 formed in the PTC element heating element 21, respectively. 34 are formed through.

The power supply members 31 and 32 are arranged such that the disk portion 31a of the upper power supply member 31 contacts the electrode 23 and the disk portion 32a of the lower power supply member 32 contacts the electrode 24. At this time, the connection part 31b of the upper power supply member 31 and the connection part 32b of the lower power supply member 32 are parallel to each other and are shifted from each other in the facing direction. A power cord 16 is provided on the lower surface side of the connection portion 31b of the upper power supply member 31.
A lead wire 17 drawn out from FIG. 1 is connected by soldering or the like. A lead wire 18 drawn from the power cord 16 is connected to the upper surface side of the connection portion 32b of the lower power supply member 32 by soldering or the like. Thus, when the power cord 16 is connected to a commercial power supply, power is supplied to the PTC element heating element 21 and the PTC element heating element 21 generates heat at a constant temperature.

The cap 41 is for fixing the power supply members 31 and 32 in contact with the electrodes 23 and 24, respectively, and is integrally formed of an electrically insulating material. The cap 41 is connected to the PTC element heating element 21.
A space is formed inside and the lower surface is open so that the power supply members 31 and 32 can be covered from above. Also, a PT is provided on the upper surface of the cap 41 at the center thereof.
A mounting hole 42 having substantially the same diameter as the mounting hole 22 formed in the C-element heating element 21 is formed to penetrate therethrough. In addition, cap 4
A cutout 43 is formed on one side surface to allow the connection portions 31b and 32b to protrude.

The electrodes 23 and 24 and the power supply members 31 and 3
The connection with 2 may be performed using an adhesive having conductivity. However, in consideration of the time required for curing the adhesive and the trouble of preventing a short circuit between the upper electrode 23 and the lower electrode 24 due to the dripping of the adhesive, as described above, the cap 41 may be used without using the adhesive. By putting on
It is preferable to fix the power supply members 31 and 32 to the electrodes 23 and 24, respectively.

The lower insulating case 52 is formed by using, for example, injection molding using a material having electrical insulation properties.
In the lower insulating case 52, a positioning shaft 53 is provided so as to protrude upward. The positioning shaft 53 is
The mounting hole 34 of the lower power supply member 32, the mounting hole 22 of the PTC element heating element 21, the mounting hole 33 of the upper power supply member 31, and the mounting hole 42 of the cap 41 are inserted in this order. The positioning shaft 53 is provided with a bolt hole 54 through which the bolt and the like can be inserted so that the heater 15 can be fixed to the heat radiating plate 11 by a bolt and the like.

The upper insulating case 51 (see FIG. 5) is made of PTC.
With the element heating element 21 and the power supply members 31 and 32 attached to the lower insulating case 52, and further covered with the cap 41, the lower insulating case 52 is set in an injection molding die.
By injection molding a material with electrical insulation,
It is formed integrally with the lower insulating case 52. Therefore, the PTC element heating element 21, the power supply members 31, 32
The connection portions between the power supply members 31 and 32 and the lead wires 17 and 18 are formed by the upper insulating case 51 and the lower insulating case 5.
2 is insulated and sealed. Therefore, this heater 15
Has no risk of electric leakage.

Upper insulating case 51 and lower insulating case 52
Has low heat shrinkage, heat resistance enough to withstand thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, waterproofness that does not allow moisture to pass through inside, airtightness that does not allow air to pass inside, and lead wires 17 and 18.
It is preferable to use a material having good adhesion to the coating material. Therefore, examples of the material of the insulating cases 51 and 52 include a mixture of nylon, polypropylene, and glass fiber.

The upper insulating case 51 and the lower insulating case 5
It is desirable from the viewpoint of integration that two are made of the same electrically insulating material because they have good affinity for each other and have the same thermal expansion coefficient. If the upper insulating case 51 and the lower insulating case 52 are made of the same material, either of the upper and lower surfaces of the heater 15 may be in contact with the heat sink 11. However, for example, when the lower insulating case 52 is attached so as to be in contact with the heat sink 11, from the viewpoint of heat conduction, it is better that the lower insulating case 52 conducts heat to the heat sink 11 (see FIG. 1) well. It is better that the upper insulating case 51 does not easily radiate heat. Therefore, in the latter case,
The lower insulating case 52 is made of a material having both good thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, for example, a mixture of nylon, polypropylene and glass fiber, while taking into consideration the affinity and thermal expansion coefficient of each other. 51
It is preferable to use a material having relatively low thermal conductivity, for example, an epoxy resin.

The heater 15 as described above can be produced, for example, as follows. First, a flat cylindrical PTC element heating element 21 is formed, and electrodes 23 and 24 are formed on the upper and lower surfaces, respectively. For example,
PTC silver paste for forming ohmic contact electrode
After application to the element heating element 21, the electrodes 23 and 24 can be formed by heating the PTC element heating element 21 at 560 ° C. for 30 minutes.

Next, the lower power supply member 32, the PTC element heating element 21 and the upper power supply member 31 are fitted in this order into the lower insulating case 52 preformed by injection molding or the like. At this time, the lower insulating case 52 is inserted into the mounting hole 22 of the PTC element heating element 21 and the mounting holes 33 and 34 of the power supply members 31 and 32.
So that the positioning shaft 53 formed in the PT is inserted.
The C element heating element 11 and the power supply members 31 and 32 are arranged.

Then, the lead wires 17 and 18 are soldered to the connection portion 31b of the upper power supply member 31 and the connection portion 32b of the lower power supply member 32, respectively. These lead wires 17, 18
May be performed before the power supply members 31 and 32 are fitted into the lower insulating case 52. Then, the cap 41
The cap 41 is covered so that the positioning shaft 53 is inserted into the mounting hole 42 of the first member and the connecting portions 31b and 32b of the power supply members 31 and 32 project from the notch 43.

The lower insulating case 52 on which the above members are arranged is set in a mold for injection molding, and a synthetic resin material to be the upper insulating case 51 is injection-molded to form the upper insulating case 51. Thereby, the upper insulating case 51 and the lower insulating case 52 are integrated, and the heater 15 is completed. Bolt holes 54 formed in the positioning shaft 53 are formed through the upper and lower surfaces of the heater 15 thus completed. Therefore, the heater 15 may be adhered and fixed to the heater mounting surface of the radiator plate 11, for example, by applying an adhesive to the lower surface of the lower insulating case 52, or by forming a screw hole in the radiator plate 11 in advance. Alternatively, the bolt inserted through the bolt hole 54 may be screwed into the screw hole to be fixed to the heat sink 11. Alternatively, a hole may be formed through the heat radiating plate 11, and a rivet may be inserted through the bolt hole 54 and the hole formed in the heat radiating plate 11, and the rivet may be fixed.

As described above, according to the fragrance generator 1, the fragrance can be evaporated without burning the fragrance 80. Therefore, there is a possibility that problems associated with the burning of the fragrance body 80 may occur, such as the odor adhering to the room and the smell giving the discomfort to the person may be emitted due to the stain on the room and the burning of the fragrance body 80. Absent. Further, as described above, since the heating element used for the heater 15 is a thermistor element having PTC characteristics, the heating temperature is constant, and the amount of fragrance contained in the aromatic substance 80 is kept constant. be able to. Furthermore, heater 1
The transpiration time of the fragrance can be adjusted by turning on / off the energization of 5. Further, the PTC element heating element 2
Since the exothermic temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the material composition of No. 1, the transpiration time per aromatic substance can also be appropriately set.

Furthermore, since the above-described fragrance generating device 1 can be used while being held by a thin and vertical member such as the photo stand 90, the incense burner is placed as if burning incense in the incense burner. There is no need to secure space for it.
That is, a fragrance can be generated using a narrow space that is vacant on a desk or the like. Although the description of one embodiment of the present invention is as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a ceramic semiconductor having PTC characteristics is used as the heating element. However, the heating element is not limited to the ceramic semiconductor. For example, a PTC made of resin in which carbon, metal powder, or the like is embedded in resin is used. An element may be used.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the fragrance generating device according to the present invention is provided in a photo stand has been described as an example. In addition to the photo stand, as shown in FIG.
It may be provided in the stand type lighting fixture 100 or the like. Specifically, in the lighting fixture 100, an opening 1 for attaching the fragrance generation device 1 to a stand body 103 holding a socket 102 for attaching a bulb 101.
04 is formed. The fragrance generating device 1 includes a holding member 1
2 is mounted so as to be exposed from the opening 104. Thus, for example, instead of the stand-type lighting equipment normally provided in a hotel room, the lighting equipment 10
By providing 0, no new space is needed to generate the fragrance. Further, the heater 15
Does not require new wiring if it is connected in the middle of the power supply line 105 connected to the socket. Also, the fragrance generator 1 can be turned on / off in conjunction with turning on / off the light bulb.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the radiator plate is provided in the fragrance generating device, but the radiator plate is not always necessary. For example, as shown in FIG. The fragrance generating device 1A is covered with a synthetic resin 106 having heat resistance so that the holding member 12 is disposed on the surface where the heater 15 is exposed.
May be configured. At this time, by making the synthetic resin 106 a resin foam, heat conduction to the back side of the heater 15 is cut off, and the aromatic body can be efficiently heated.

In the above-described embodiment, the holding member resiliently holds the aromatic body. However, as shown in FIG.
May be attached, and the aromatic body 80 may be interposed and held between the fixing plate 61 and the plurality of U-shaped members 62. That is, the holding member may be any member that can hold the aromatic body in a state capable of receiving the heat generated from the heater.

In addition, various changes can be made within the scope described in the claims.

[0041]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the aromatic substance is heated by the heat generated by the heater, and the fragrance evaporates from the aromatic substance. There is no possibility that a problem associated with burning of the aromatic body (scent), such as emission of the burnt smell of the aromatic body, occurs.

Further, since a thermistor element having PTC characteristics is used as the heating element, no heat is generated above a certain temperature. Therefore, a controller or a sensor for controlling the heat generation temperature is not required, and the cost of the apparatus is reduced. In addition, since the heat generation temperature is constant, the amount of fragrance emitted from the aromatic body can be kept constant. Further, by turning on / off the energization of the heater, the evaporation time of the fragrance can be adjusted. Further, since the heat generation temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the material composition of the thermistor element, the fragrance evaporation time can be appropriately set without increasing the cost of the apparatus.

Further, since the heater is formed by insulating the thermistor element with a synthetic resin, there is no possibility of electric leakage. Further, the fragrance generating device can be used in a narrow place, for example, by being attached to a photo stand or the like. According to the configuration of the second aspect, the heat generated from the heater propagates through the heat radiating plate and is radiated from the entire heat radiating surface, so that the aromatic body can receive the heat radiated from the heat radiating surface. If held, the fragrance can evaporate. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the device is increased, for example, the mounting position of the holding member can be changed.
