And a housing 130 accommodating the unit 110 and the chemical diverging unit 120 therein.

The chemical storage unit 110 is a cylindrical container that can accommodate the chemical therein. The lower part of the chemical storage unit 10 is provided with a discharge member 112 for discharging the chemical.

The discharge member 112 discharges the chemical by a pump method. Specifically, the discharge member 112 is formed with a flow path 114 through which the chemical can escape to the outside of the chemical storage unit 110. In general, since the flow path 114 of the chemical storage container is located under the chemical storage part 110, the chemical is not supplied to the flow path 114. Since the chemical storage unit 110 and the flow passage 114 are opened only when the chemical storage unit 110 is pressed downward, the chemicals in the chemical storage unit 110 are discharged to the outside through the flow passage 114. do.

The chemicals used in the chemical dispenser 10 of the present invention may be air fresheners, air fresheners, deodorants, insecticides, repellents, fungicides, mood enhancers or attractants. Such chemicals are in a liquid state and are characterized by vaporizing and dissipating into the atmosphere. In particular, the chemical attractant may be a pest attractant such as pheromone used in a pest trapping device.

The chemical dispenser 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a spring 134 which is an elastic member. As shown in FIG. 1, the spring 134 is disposed between an upper surface of the lower surface of the housing 130 and a lower surface of the lower portion of the chemical storage unit 110. In this embodiment, the spring 134 is provided on both sides of the discharge member 112, but is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the spring 134 may be configured in such a manner as to surround the discharge member 112.

The chemical diverging unit of the present invention is a wick or a diverging pad that absorbs the chemical supplied from the chemical storage unit 110. In the present embodiment, the dissipation pad 120 is used as the chemical dissipation unit.

The diverging pad 120 is in contact with the discharge member 112 of the chemical storage unit 110, and extends upward along the sidewalls of the chemical storage unit 110. Dissipation pad 120 has a generally cylindrical shape surrounding the chemical storage unit 110, the top is open.

Since the chemical supplied from the discharge member 112 is absorbed by the diverging pad 120, the chemical is moved upward along the diverging pad 112 and vaporized into the atmosphere.

The housing 130 is formed larger than the chemical storage unit 110 and the diverging pad 120 to accommodate the chemical storage unit 110 and the diverging pad 120 therein. The housing 130 has a generally cylindrical shape.

A plurality of through holes 132 are formed on the side wall of the housing 130, and the chemicals of the dissipation pad 120 are diverged out of the chemical dispenser 10 through the through holes 132. A through hole 132 may be provided with a filter (not shown), and the chemical inside the housing 130 passes through the filter in a gaseous state by the filter to be emitted to the outside. Do not penetrate inside.

When the user presses the pressing unit 140 in the downward direction, the chemical storage unit 110 moves in the downward direction. Since the discharge member 112 is in a fixed state, the lower surface of the chemical storage unit 110 descends, and the flow path 114 of the discharge member 112 is in an open state.

By gravity, the chemical exits from the chemical storage unit 110 via the flow path 114 and is absorbed by the diverging pad 120 in contact with the discharge member 112.

The chemical absorbed by the lower portion of the diverging pad 120 is absorbed and moved to the upper portion of the diverging pad 120 extending along the sidewall of the chemical storage unit 110, and moves the through hole 132 of the housing 130. Through the atmosphere.

When the user releases the pressing portion 140, the chemical storage unit 110 is returned to its original position by a spring 134 located between the chemical storage unit 110 and the lower surface of the housing 130. At this time, since the discharge member 112 is fixed to the housing 130, only the chemical storage unit 110 moves upward.

Thereby, once the chemical provision is completed, the user can provide the chemical multiple times in accordance with the number of pressing.

Hereinafter, the operating principle of the chemical dispenser 20 according to the second embodiment will be described. The operating principle of the second embodiment is the same as or similar to that of the first embodiment except for the method of pressurizing the chemical storage unit 210 by the automatic pressing unit 240.

When the preset time is set by the setting unit, the motor of the automatic pressing unit 240 and the small gear 242 connected thereto rotate (in a clockwise direction in FIG. 3) and the pressing gear 244 meshed with the small gear 242. Rotates (counterclockwise in FIG. 3) about hinge axis 246. That is, the rotational force of the motor is transmitted to the pressing gear 244 through the small gear 242 which is a gear train, and the pressing gear 244 presses the chemical storage unit 210 downward.

In addition, the chemical dispenser 20 according to the second embodiment may further include a humidity sensor installed around the chemical diverging unit 220. The humidity sensor measures the humidity of the chemical diverging unit 220 and transmits a measurement signal to the setting unit. At this time, the setting unit does not operate the automatic pressing unit 240 at a predetermined time interval, and operates the automatic pressing unit 240 according to the measurement signal by the humidity sensor. Specifically, when the humidity of the diverging unit 220 measured by the humidity sensor is less than the predetermined humidity, the setting unit operates the automatic pressing unit 240 to discharge the chemical.

Subsequent chemical ejection and dissipation processes are the same as described above in the first embodiment, and will be omitted for simplicity of explanation.

In some cases, the opening of the opening control valve 340 may be closed.

Since the diverging process of the chemical supplied to the dissipation pad 320 is the same as described above in the first embodiment, it will be omitted for simplicity.

The chemical dispensers 10, 20, 30 according to the first to third embodiments of the present invention may further include a blowing fan. Blowing fan is installed around the emanation pads (120, 220, 320) so that the chemical is easily released from the emanation pads (120, 220, 320), the emitted chemical can be spread evenly to the atmosphere. The blower fan is provided with an operation switch so that the blower fan can be selectively operated according to the surrounding dust or the user's preference.
