The present invention relates to a forest simulant phononchide generator, and more particularly, to a forest simulant phononchide generator capable of generating a phytoncide gas at the same level as a phytoncide felt by a person in actual forests or forests at intervals or intermittently .

According to urbanization, the space that can be in contact with nature in the modern society is rapidly decreasing, and there is not even an opportunity to see nature because of busy city life. Particularly, the elderly and those who are sick are more uncomfortable to visit the nature such as mountains and fields, and in the winter, it is common to be reluctant to find nature due to the cold.

This is because the perfume emitting device operates irrespective of the phytoncide concentration data perceived by a person in actual forests or forests. That is, since the conventional perfume emitting device operates on the basis of the theoretical phytoncide concentration that can be perceived by a person without taking the actual forest or forest phytoncide concentration into consideration, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling different from the actual phytoncide Level phytoncide is generated.

Therefore, the applicant of the present invention has proposed the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art.

Here, the control unit 170 may control the operating state of the heating unit 150 or the blowing unit 140 by comparing the actual concentration data of the phytoncide gas in actual forest or forest with the concentration of the discharged phytoncide gas.

FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically show an internal configuration of a deforestation phonocide generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the grazing phophatochrome generator 100 may have a hexahedral case 110 having a space therein.

The phytonchide module 160 is installed on the upper part of the case 110. The phytonchide module 160 is mounted on the upper part of the case 110 and is exposed to the outside of the case 110. [

The phytoncide module 160 includes a phytoncide raw material 161 therein. As the phytoncide raw material 161, a substance that generates a phononide gas P when vaporized can be used. For example, the phytoncide raw material 161 may include at least one of monoterepene species such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, or d-limonene .

The phytoncide raw material 161 is preferably provided in a liquid or gel state so as to be vaporized when the temperature rises, and the phytoncide raw material 161 can be sealed with a permeable film having a film permeability. Here, the transmissive film may be made of Teflon, Tedlar, Mylar or polyethylene.

The phytoncide module 160 preferably includes a phonon case 162 in which a phonontide raw material 161 is provided. The lower portion of the phonon case 162 is formed to communicate with the inside of the case 110 so that the heat of the heating part 150 can be transferred to the phonon case 162 or the phononchide raw material 161. The phonon case 162 is preferably made of a thermally conductive material. Further, it is preferable that sufficient space is formed inside the phonon case 162 so that the vaporized phononchide base P can sufficiently fill the inside of the phonon case 162. After filling the inside of the phononchide case 162, the phononchide gas can be evenly discharged to the outside through a discharge port (not shown) formed in the upper portion of the phonon case 162. At this time, it is preferable that a plurality of ventilation openings (not shown) are formed on the lower portion of the phononchild case 162 so that the air blowing or blowing amount of the air blowing portion 140 can be sufficiently transmitted.

The ventilation holes and the ejection opening are preferably formed to have a sufficient size so that the amount of air blown or blown from the air blowing portion 140 can be sufficiently transmitted to or passed through the air vent and the ejection opening of the phonon case 162.

Meanwhile, the discharge port formed on the upper portion of the phononchid case 162 may further include a door (not shown) for opening and closing the discharge port and the door driving unit (not shown). In this case, the door driving unit can control the opening and closing of the door by the control unit 170.

The pedestal case 162 may be provided with a cradle 163 on which the phonontide raw material 161 is placed. The holder 163 is for guiding the mounting position of the phytoncide raw material 161 when the phytoncide raw material 161 is exchanged and is positioned at a position where the heat of the heating unit 150 is best transmitted to the phytoncide raw material 161 So that the phytoncide raw material 161 can be placed.

The heating unit 150 may be positioned below the phononchild module 160 to heat the phytoncide raw material 161. The heating unit 150 includes a heater 151 provided in contact with the phonon case 162 to heat the phonon case 162 and a heater cable 152 connecting the heater 151 and the power unit 120 .

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, it is preferable that at least two heaters 151 and heater cables 152 are provided so as to heat the phononchid case 162 sufficiently evenly.

When the temperature of the phonon case 162 is raised by the heater 151 of the heating unit 150, the phytoncide raw material 161 provided inside the phonon case 162 is heated and vaporized to generate phytonide gas, The phytoncide gas fills the inside of the phononchide case 162.

The blowing part 140 is provided under the heating part 150 to diffuse or emit the vaporized phytoncide gas. The blowing unit 140 may include a fan 142 connected to the driving unit 130 and a fan cover 141 for receiving and protecting the fan 142 therein.

The fan 142 of the blowing unit 140 is rotated by the driving unit 130 that receives the control signal of the controller 170. The controller 170 controls the fan 142 of the fan 142 according to the required discharge concentration of the phytoncide gas. The rotation speed, the rotation time, and the like can be made different.

Since the emission intensity of the phytonide gas may change when the heater 151 is cooled, the heater 151 may be cooled by the blowing of the blowing part 140, It is necessary to control it.

The apparatus for generating simulated phytonthods according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a temperature sensor 190 for sensing the temperature of the heater 151 and transmitting a sensing value to the controller 170, And a concentration sensor 180 for sensing the emission concentration of the phytonide gas emitted to the outside and transmitting the sensed value to the controller 170.

On the other hand, the control unit 170 acquires data on whether or not the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas is the same as the actual concentration of the phytoncide gas in the actual forest or forest, and based on the data, The heating unit 150 or the blowing unit 140 may be operated so as to be equal to or similar to the actual concentration of phytoncide in the forest or forest.

Here, the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas may be detected by the concentration sensor 180. The control unit 170 compares the sensed value of the concentration sensor 180 with the concentration of the phytoncide gas in the actual forest or forest so that the concentration of the phytoncide gas emitted from the phytonchide module 160 is equal to or similar to the actual forest or forest So that the operation of the heating unit 150 or the blowing unit 140 can be controlled. Therefore, a user who uses the apparatus 100 for producing a simulated phononchide according to an embodiment of the present invention can have the same mood as a forest bath in the forest.

For this purpose, the apparatus for generating a simulated phytonthodide 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a data storage unit 200. The data storage unit 200 may be provided inside the phononchide generator 100 or separately. When the data storage unit 200 is separately provided, the data storage unit 200 may be provided in the form of a data server.

The data storage unit 200 may include a temperature DB 210, a concentration DB 220, and a usage history DB 230. In the temperature DB 210, the temperature of the heating unit 150 measured by the temperature sensor 190 is stored. The temperature sensor 190 may measure the temperature of the heating unit 150 or the temperature of the discharged phytoncide gas when the phytoncide gas is discharged from the phononchild module 160. Also, the temperature DB 210 may include data on the temperature at which the phytoncide raw material 161 is vaporized, and the like.

[Table 1]

Table 1 shows data on the vaporization temperature and release rate of α-pinene, β-pinene, and d-limonene, which are the raw materials for the phononchide 161. Referring to Table 1, when the user intends to release the phytoncide gas, the controller 170 controls the operation of the heating unit 150 so that the temperature of the heating unit 150 is 90 ° C. At this time, the controller 170 receives the sensing value of the temperature sensor 190, and can control the heating unit 150 so that the heating unit 150 can maintain around 90 ° C.

Concentration DB 220, on the other hand, may include the actual concentration of phytoncide gas in actual forest or forest. Data on the actual concentration of phytoncide gas in actual forests or forests use phytoncide concentration data obtained from actual forests.

The control unit 170 may control the operating state of the blowing unit 140 to determine the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas, and determine the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas using the release temperature, the release speed, and the release time of the phytoncide gas have. This is because the emission concentration C (p) of the phytoncide gas is a function of the emission temperature T of the phytoncide gas, the emission rate v of the phytoncide gas and the emission time t of the phytoncide gas. That is, the relationship is as in the following equation.

[Equation 1]

C (p) = f (T, v, t)

Here, the emission temperature of phytoncide gas may be obtained directly from the temperature sensor 190 or from the temperature of the heating unit 150. The release rate of phytoncide gas can be obtained from the rotation speed of the fan 142 of the blowing unit 140. The rotational speed of the fan 142 can be controlled by controlling a power source or the like applied to the driving unit 130. An acceleration sensor (not shown) for determining the rotation speed of the fan 142 may be installed in the fan 142 or the driving unit 130. Further, a flow meter (not shown) may be installed at the discharge port to obtain the discharge speed of the phytoncide gas discharged from the phonon case 162.

The release time of phytoncide gas means the time duration of release of phytoncide gas. The release time of phytoncide gas can be obtained from the operation duration of the discharge section 140. At this time, the operation duration of the blowing unit 140 may be determined based on the sensed values of the temperature sensor 190 and the concentration sensor 180. [

The control unit 170 controls the rotational speed of the blowing unit 140 to the fan 142 in accordance with the sensing value of the concentration sensor 180 so that the sensing value of the concentration sensor 180 is set to a value corresponding to the sensing value of the phytonide gas The fan-blowing unit 140 to the fan 142 can be rapidly rotated. By rapidly rotating the blowing unit 140 to the fan 142, the discharge speed of the phytoncide gas can be increased to finally increase the discharge concentration of the phytoncide gas to the actual concentration level of the phytorchoid gas in the actual forest or forest.

As described above, the grazing phantom phonocide generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a heating unit 150 or a temperature sensor 190 for sensing the temperature of the phytoncide gas, The control unit 170 controls the operating state of the blowing unit 140 or the heating unit 150 according to the sensed value of the concentration sensor 180. The concentration sensor 180 controls the operation of the heating unit 150, The heating unit 150 or the blowing unit 140 can be operated when the sensed value of the phytoncide gas is less than or different than the actual concentration of phytonchide gas in the actual forest or forest. Here, the actual concentration of phytoncide gas in the actual forest or forest can be stored in the concentration DB 220.

The control unit 170 receives usage history data on the operating state of the airflow 140 or the heating unit 150 according to the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas or the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas during operation or operation, The operating state of the blowing unit 140 or the heating unit 150 can be controlled according to the history data. For this purpose, the data storage unit 200 may further include a usage history DB 230 in which usage history data is stored.

The usage history data may include user preference, preference, awareness or frequency of use of the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas. The user who uses the apparatus 100 for generating simulated phytonthods according to an embodiment of the present invention does not emit phytoncide gas corresponding to the actual phytoncide concentration in the forest or forest, The corresponding phytoncide gas may be released. This is because the phytoncide concentration in the actual forest is so strong that people may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, in this case, the user may wish to breathe phytoncide gas at the concentration level of his own preference rather than actual forest concentration. The preference and preference of each user may be stored in the usage history DB 230 and may be transmitted to the control unit 170 according to the user's usage request to operate the heating unit 150 or the airflow unit 140. That is, the control unit 170 may control the operation time or rotation speed of the blower 140 according to the usage history data to control the emission concentration of the phytoncide gas.

The data storage unit 200 may also include means such as WiFi, ZigBee, and Bluetooth.

The grazing phantom phonocide generation apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may operate for a certain time or a specific condition or mode rather than releasing the phytoncide gas P while continuously operating. FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary manner in which the phononide generator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention operates at a specific time or intermittently according to various modes.
