Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for forcibly extracting the fragrance from the fragrance that is the source of the emission when emitting the fragrance from the fragrance into a room, for example. The aim is to achieve efficient use of fragrances.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, fragrances in solid or liquid form are organic substances that sublimate or volatile at room temperature, and sublimation or volatilization occurs slowly.In contrast, perfumes, for example, are made by dissolving fragrances in alcohol. Although it has accelerated volatility, the release of the fragrance is temporary, and it is difficult to maintain the fragrance for a long period of time in a large room.

For this reason, fragrances are usually used alone to fill a room with fragrance, but as mentioned above, these substances do not evaporate slowly. The dried material is held on top of a drainboard and air is blown from below to force evaporation. In addition to obtaining aromas from fragrances, this method is also applied to forced evaporation of insecticidal liquid in rice warehouses, and in the case of the above-mentioned insecticidal liquid, it is carried out using a considerable amount of insecticidal liquid in a closed warehouse. Therefore, some effect appears, but in the case of fragrances, even if air is blown, the evaporation power does not increase much, and on the contrary, the fragrance is diffused into a large amount of air by the air, making it impossible to obtain a sufficient fragrance8. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In order to release a large amount of fragrance quickly from a solid or liquid fragrance, it is recommended to blow air onto the surface of the fragrance to accelerate the evaporation of volatile components. It is effective to allow the ingredients to ooze out onto the outer surface of the perfume body. by the way
It is known that when a liquid that does not dissolve in water is heated while being blown into it, the liquid will distill out along with the water vapor at a temperature lower than its boiling point. It is used for refining etc. The present invention has been completed by paying attention to this fact and discovering that the emission of fragrance is greatly increased when fragrances are kept in a constant water vapor atmosphere. [Operation] According to the present invention, the above-mentioned problems are solved by extracting the fragrance from a liquid fragrance impregnated in a porous carrier such as a filter paper or a powdery solid fragrance wrapped in cloth using water vapor.

The present invention will be explained in detail below. The drawing shows an embodiment of a device for carrying out the method of the invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical main body of the device which is open at the top and bottom ends, and an air collection port 6 is formed at the bottom end of the device, which is located below the main body and can be connected to the top end of the steam generator 2 .

Inside the device main body 1, there is a mesh plate-like partition plate 4 near the upper end.
A fragrance storage chamber 6 into which a fragrance 5 is charged is formed between the partition plate 4 and the upper end. The fragrance 5 can be in the form of a liquid fragrance contained in a porous carrier such as sponge, glue or filter paper, or a powdered solid fragrance wrapped in cloth.

Note that 7 in the figure is a heating heater provided in the steam generator 2.

In this way, when water vapor is introduced into the main body 1 of the apparatus as a flow in a fixed direction (upward direction) through the water vapor generator 2, the evaporation or sublimation of the fragrance 5 is promoted through this water vapor, and the emitted fragrance is emitted into the apparatus main body 1 along with the water vapor. It is continuously sent out from the upper end of the main body 1.

In this case, the steam does not need to be particularly heated, but can be humid air at room temperature containing saturated air. Therefore, instead of the steam generator shown in the figure, a humidifier installed in the room is used. However, the air collection port 3 of the device main body 1 may be connected to the water vapor outlet.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to create unnecessary airflow inside the room due to air blowing, unlike in the conventional case.
A sufficient amount of fragrance is continuously and rapidly released into the room together with the water vapor discharged from the other end of the main body 1 of the apparatus, so that the room can be rapidly filled with the fragrance and the fragrance can be carried around.
