When the drive time Ft of the fan 15 reaches the preceding time FT ₁ (about 3 minutes in this example) (P11),
At 12, the music box 22 (motor 23) is driven to sound a predetermined melody. When the drive time Ot of the music box 22 reaches the first set time OT ₁ (about one minute in this example) (P13), the fans 15 and the music box 22 are stopped at P14 and P15, and the clock mode program ends ( P16).

When the user presses the fragrance mode selection button, the fragrance mode is selected in step P6 described above, and the program proceeds to step P17, where the fan 17 is driven, and the fragrance gas is discharged from the case 1 to the outside. Release toward When the release time reaches the set time FT ₂ (about 3 minutes in this example), (P
18) In step 19, the fan 15 is stopped, and the process returns to step P6. When the user presses the music box mode selection button, the music box mode is selected in step P7 described above, the program proceeds to P20, the music box 22 is driven, and the melody is set to the set time OT ₂ (in this example, about OT ₂ ). After sounding (for one minute) (P21), the music box 22 is stopped in step P22, and the process returns to step P7.

[0017]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the top plate of the container accommodating chamber for accommodating the container filled with the aromatic liquid is provided with an introduction hole substantially corresponding to the mouth of the container. It communicates with the introduction hole of the top plate through an introduction tube which is detachably fitted to the mouth, a fan is provided on the top of the top plate, and the suction port of the fan communicates with the introduction hole, and the discharge port is Since the outlet is opened outside the case, an opening / closing device for opening and closing the container is not required, and the structure is simplified. In addition, when not in use, the introduction pipe and the fan are closed to prevent the aromatic liquid in the container from spontaneously diverging, and when the fan is driven, an airflow is generated at the mouth of the container and the aromatic liquid in the container is quickly discharged. And it is stably radiated out of the case. In addition, a music box, a container filled with an aromatic liquid, and a fan that emits the aromatic gas evaporated from the container are provided in the case, and the music box is driven with a predetermined time delay relative to the fan, so that the fragrance is driven. Since the melody sounds after releasing the melody, when the melody is used for awakening, the melody is heard after smelling the scent, and a pleasant wake-up can be provided. In addition, a clock mode in which the music box is driven for a predetermined time later than the fan to drive, a fragrance mode in which the fan is operated alone, and a music box mode in which the music box is operated alone can be appropriately selected and operated. The user can select the installation location and usage form according to the user's preference.
