Then, the branch pipe (6) sucks the corresponding incense from the incense outlet (9) of the incense cartridge (4) to flow the inhaled incense toward the orifice tube (3) (S6). Thus, by driving the blower fan 12 (S7), the fragrance is injected outside the orifice tube 3 for a predetermined time in accordance with the air flow flowing in the orifice tube 3 (S8). The fragrance injected from the orifice tube 3 is removed by the anion generator 8 after staying for a predetermined time (S9), so as not to mix with the fragrance sprayed later.

The above processes are continuously performed corresponding to the screen states displayed by the execution of the program while the game program is executed. Then, the execution of the game program is stopped (S10), the above processes are terminated.

Thus, various fragrances can be selectively sprayed according to the needs of the user, and can be operated in accordance with the software program.

The following describes a second embodiment of the fragrance spraying apparatus according to the present invention.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the fragrance spraying apparatus according to the present invention, Figure 7 is an assembled perspective view of Figure 6, Figure 8 is a plan view of FIG. The fragrance spraying device of the present embodiment has an orifice tube 23 and a fragrance cartridge 24, and a plurality of fragrance cartridges 24 are attached to the orifice tube 23 which houses a corresponding fragrance. Belt moving means for moving to the shaft diameter portion 22 side of the; A drive motor for driving the belt moving means; And a pushing device which is provided at a point adjacent to the shaft diameter portion 22 of the orifice tube 23 and pushes the fragrance cartridge 24 toward the shaft diameter portion 22 side.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, the fragrance cartridge 24 is formed in a test tube shape, and a cap formed of a semi-permeable membrane is installed on the top thereof, and the fragrance contained in the fragrance cartridge 24 flows out through the cap. It is supposed to be.

A plurality of fragrance cartridges 24 are attached to the belt moving means, that is, the time belt 41, and the fragrance cartridge 24 can also be rotated by the rotation of the time belt 41. As the drive motor, a step motor 25 is adopted so that the fragrance cartridge 24 can be positioned at a desired point. At a point adjacent to the fragrance cartridge 24, a sensing device 27 of the fragrance cartridge 24 is installed, so that the present position of the fragrance cartridge 24 can be sensed. In addition, a base substrate 26 on which a chip for operation of these devices is mounted is installed in a circle formed by the time belt 41.

As the pushing device, the solenoid valve body 30 is adopted, and only the desired fragrance cartridge 24 can be pushed upward. In addition, a blower fan 32 is installed at one side of the orifice tube 23, and air flow occurs in the orifice tube 23, so that the fragrance flowing from the fragrance cartridge 24 is smoothly injected to the outside of the orifice tube 23. It is supposed to be. The other side of the orifice tube 23 is provided with an incense removing device for removing the incense injected from the orifice tube 23 to the outside.
