Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to an aroma generating device, and more particularly to an aroma generating device that is equipped with an air blowing function and uses nine speakers to emit fragrance to the outside only when a sound is emitted.

Conventional Art Traditionally, aromatic deodorizers installed in indoor bathrooms, entrances, living rooms, etc. evaporate or sublimate liquid or solid deodorizing ingredients to naturally diffuse fragrant particles into the base circle. , which hides bad odors.However, this aromatic deodorant is always in a state of dispersing the deodorizing ingredients and continues to be consumed even when it is unnecessary, resulting in a lot of waste. Therefore, the amount of volatilization of the deodorant cannot be increased, and a sufficient aromatic and deodorizing effect may not be expected. On the other hand, in order to eliminate these drawbacks,
There are also products on the market that contain deodorants in air sprays or the like to diffuse the fragrance components only when needed, but these require cumbersome operations such as push buttons, and users often find themselves needing to deodorize. The problem is that this is done after the person feels the bad odor, which is inconsistent with odor control, that is, prevention of bad odor.

Furthermore, to date, no sound equipment equipped with a mechanism for dispersing fragrance has been put to practical use, and in order to realize this idea, an electric fan or the like has been used as a blower to dissipate the fragrance to the outside of the device. However, this method has disadvantages in that the device becomes complicated, manufacturing costs increase, and noise is generated due to the rotation of the motor and fan.

Therefore, the inventor of this application further discovered the fact that if a hole is made in the diaphragm of a speaker, the air from the back of the diaphragm is sent out to the front through this hole during audio output.
I came up with the idea of applying this speaker as a transmitter. This is an extremely innovative concept that was previously unthinkable.

Purpose The present invention has been made in order to put into practical use the idea of the inventor of the present application, while eliminating the drawbacks associated with the prior art described above. By providing multiple holes for lice and emitting fragrance through the speaker, the fragrance is emitted at the same time as the sound is output.
The objective is to perform efficient aroma and deodorization when necessary. Also,
As a result, the amount of fragrance released per time is increased, the fragrance is prevented from releasing when unnecessary at the same time, the consumption of fragrance is reduced, and the period of replenishment and replacement of fragrance is lengthened. Another purpose is to make the device smaller and simpler by using a speaker with air blowing ability to diffuse fragrance.
The purpose is to reduce power consumption, enable battery drive, and prevent noise generated by blower fans and motors.

Configuration In short, the present invention includes a fragrance, a speaker having a diaphragm with a hole for transmission, an audio signal source input to the speaker, and a case that houses at least the fragrance and the speaker. 4'! The fragrance that volatilizes and fills the interior is dissipated to the outside by the blowing action of the group speakers when the speakers output audio. f threshold.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings. An onomatopoeic aroma generator, which is an example of the aroma generator shown in Figure 1.
, which simultaneously eliminates excretion sounds and deodorizes bad odors in a flush toilet, includes a perfume 2, a speaker 3, an onomatopoeia generator 4, which is an example of an audio signal source, and a case 5 that houses them. It is equipped with The case consists of a main body 5a and a back cover 5b, and FIG. 1 shows the case with the back cover 5b removed.

The perfume 2 is a very highly concentrated liquid stock solution that is stored in a container 6, and is volatilized from the tip 6a of the container to fill the case 5.

The container 6 is placed on the surface of a sponge 7 fixed to the case 5.
It is removably fixed by an adhesive applied to a.

As shown in FIG. 4, the speaker 3 includes a cone 8 made of pulp, which is an example of an imaging plate, and the cone is provided with a plurality of holes 8a for blowing air. Through this hole 8a, when the cone 8 vibrates, the air on the back side of the cone 8 is sent out to the front side, thus providing an air blowing function for three speakers. and hole 8a
As is clear from FIG. 4, they are arranged in a plurality of concentric circles around the cone cap 9, and even if the frequency of the audio signal input to the speaker 3 becomes high and the cone 8 causes split vibration. , one of the large 8a is adapted to take an image. Therefore, the speaker 3 exhibits good air blowing characteristics over the entire audio output frequency range.

FIG. 5 shows a test device 10 for testing the air blowing performance of the speaker 3.
It shows that. The test device 10 includes a box 11 and a speaker 3, and the box 11 is provided with an opening 11a. In the illustrated state, smoke 13 emitted from a lit cigarette 12 enters the case 11 through the opening 11a and is vigorously discharged as indicated by the arrow by the blowing action of the speaker 3. However, when the sound from the speaker 3 is stopped, the smoke 13 hardly leaks out from the large part 8a, and the inside of the box 11 is filled.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the fragrance 2 that has evaporated from the container 6 fills the case 5 and does not leak to the outside when the sound is not output from the speaker 3. When it is output, it is dissipated vigorously as shown by arrow B.

The onomatopoeic signal generator 4 generates an onomatopoeic signal similar to the sound of running water from the flush toilet 15 based on data stored in the microprocessor 14 and inputs it to the speaker 3. The onomatopoeic signal generating device 4 also includes an optical sensor 16 attached to the front of the case 5 of the onomatopoeic fragrance generating device 1 shown in FIG.
The system detects minute changes in illuminance and intermittents the generation of onomatopoeic signals.

FIG. 6 shows the onomatopoeia generator 1 installed in a toilet room 18.
@Optical sensor 16, which is shown installed in In operation, the speaker 3 outputs the sound of running water to muffle the sound of the user's 20 excretion, and at the same time, the perfume 2 is diffused.

FIG. 7 shows an entrance chime fragrance generating device 22 which is another example of the fragrance generating device. The case 2 is covered with an ornament consisting of an entrance 23 and a sculpture 24 in the shape of a bird.
3 includes a fragrance (not shown), a speaker 25, a chime signal generator (not shown), and a light sensor 26. The chime signal generator 22 is the onomatopoeic signal generator 4
However, the data stored in the microprocessor 14 is different, and when a change in illuminance is detected by the optical sensor 26, a chime sound consisting of various musical scales is generated.

Note that the button 28 in FIGS. 2, 3, and 6 is used to change the type of onomatopoeia, and the button 29 in FIG. 7 is used to change the type of chime sound.

In addition, in FIGS. 1 and 2, 30 is a battery serving as a power source for the onomatopoeic signal generating device 4. In FIG.

Function The present invention is constructed as described above, and its function will be explained below. The onomatopoeic fragrance generating device 1 shown in FIG. 6 completely stops generating onomatopoeia when the user 20 is outside the door 19. At this time, the fragrance 2 evaporates from the container 6 and fills the case 14;
Since it does not leak outside, there is no needless dissipation. Next, when the user 20 opens the door 19, the illuminance in the toilet room 18 changes rapidly, so the optical sensor 16
detects this, and an onomatopoeic sound of running water is generated from the speaker 3. At the same time, the fragrance 2 is vigorously dispersed by the blowing action of the speaker 3. Fragrance 2 has a fairly high concentration and is forcibly sent out by the speaker 3, so it quickly diffuses into the toilet room 18, and the aroma and deodorization is completed by the time the user 20 sits on the toilet bowl 15 and starts using it. are doing.

Furthermore, if the user 20 wants to make the sound of running water continue while using the toilet bowl 15, it is sufficient for the user 20 to cause a slight change in illuminance by slightly moving the arm 21, so that the fragrance is generated until the end of use, and when defecating. It can also eliminate bad odors.

Then, after the user 20 leaves the toilet room 18, the onomatopoeia generation stops, so the fragrance generation also naturally stops.

In this way, the onomatopoeic fragrance generating device 1 is used only when it is necessary to deodorize the toilet room 18, that is, when the toilet bowl 15 is used.
As the sound of running water is generated, the fragrance 2 is efficiently diffused to perform aromatic deodorization, so the amount of fragrance 2 emitted during deodorization can be increased, and the amount of fragrance 2 can be saved by preventing its dispersion when not in use. be able to.

In addition, since there is no need to install an electric fan to dissipate the fragrance 2, the shed can be conveniently installed in the narrow room of the toilet room 18, and because it consumes little power, it can operate for a long time on batteries 29. can be done.

Next, the entrance chime aroma generator 22 shown in No. 7 rgJ
is installed at the entrance of a house or store to notify visitors of visitors, and at the same time deodorizes the entrance or the vicinity of the entrance.

That is, the light sensor 26 detects the figure of the visitor, and the chime signal generator (not shown) outputs the chime signal to the speaker 25.
A beautiful melodic chime sound is generated from the speaker 25, and at the same time, the built-in fragrance is emitted by the speaker 25.

There is something unique about a house that residents don't notice because it has become a habit! This device 22 can notify the resident of the visit and at the same time eliminate the odor without the visitor noticing.

In addition, in a store, it is possible to notify customers of their arrival and at the same time to improve their desire to visit the store by using beautiful melodies and fragrances. Furthermore, since no electric fan or the like is provided, it is possible to prevent unpleasant noise from being mixed into the beautiful melodic chime sound.

In the above embodiments, the audio signal sources are limited to the onomatopoeic signal generator 4 and the chime signal generator, but are of course not limited to these, and can be any audio signal source such as a radio receiver or record player. can be used. Further, the audio signal source and the speaker do not necessarily need to be housed in the same case as one unit, but may just be provided as a system.

Moreover, the fragrance may be in solid form instead of liquid form.

Effects Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the diaphragm of the speaker in the acoustic device is provided with a blower a for blowing air.
Since several holes are provided and the speaker is used to dissipate the fragrance, the fragrance is emitted at the same time as the audio output, resulting in the effect of efficiently performing aromatic deodorization when necessary. In addition, this increases the amount of fragrance emitted per use, and at the same time prevents fragrance from being emitted when unnecessary, reducing fragrance consumption and lengthening the period for replenishing and replacing fragrances. can get. Furthermore, since a speaker with air blowing ability is used to diffuse the fragrance, the device can be made smaller and simpler, reducing power consumption and allowing it to be driven by batteries, making it possible to use a fan or motor for delivery. This has the effect of preventing generated noise.
