Chemical Dispenser {CHEMICAL DISPENSER}

The present invention relates to a chemical dispenser, and more particularly, having a first module and a second module separately separated, and having a storage unit for storing the chemical and a volatilization unit and a receiving unit for volatilization, thereby chemical chemical action. The present invention relates to a chemical dispenser capable of preventing damage such as corrosion or aging of the volatilization unit.

In general, a chemical dispenser is a device for dispersing a predetermined amount of fragrances, insecticides, drugs, etc. in the air, of which chemical dispenser vaporizing the fragrance is an indoor space, in particular, a place where many people use or an unpleasant smell may occur It is used a lot in in hotel, restaurant, restroom.

The chemical dispenser is simply a liquid diffusion or a paper (pulp) impregnated with chemical chemicals in a certain container to naturally diffuse in the air to diffuse naturally, the electric fume type to dissipate the chemical by electric heat, and the chemical in a large space There are a spray type for spraying the chemical into the air with a predetermined gas to diffuse and a fan type for diffusing the chemical using a fan.

The fan type chemical dispenser includes a drive motor, a fan rotated by the drive motor to diffuse the chemical, and a chemical receiving member for receiving the chemical.

However, the chemical dispenser has a problem that the chemical is stored in the case, the chemical is naturally volatilized to come into direct contact with the drive motor, thereby causing a chemical reaction or corrosion.

In addition, since the inside of the chemical dispenser can not be confirmed from the outside, there is a limit that the volatilization of the chemical by simply setting a cycle or natural volatilization for a predetermined period in a loaded state.

In addition, since the chemicals are dispersed by the airflow generated by the fan, there is a problem that the efficiency cannot be improved beyond a certain limit.

One object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a chemical dispenser capable of minimizing the chemical reaction between the chemical and the device accommodated in the chemical dispenser.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a chemical dispenser capable of controlling the amount of chemical supply, supply cycle, etc. according to the needs of the user without checking the inside.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a chemical dispenser capable of improving chemical dispersion efficiency by easily dispersing chemicals by natural convection by changing the structure as well as the airflow generated by the fan.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object of the present invention, the chemical dispenser is a first module for receiving a storage unit for storing the chemical, at least one side is open, the chemical dispenser is supplied to the outside for a predetermined period of time The exposed portion is formed of a mesh (mesh) material, spaced apart from the receiving portion a volatilization unit to volatilize the chemical, the accommodating unit and the volatilization unit is accommodated, so that air is introduced from one side to flow out to the other side A second module forming a passage and a pump unit for moving the chemical from the storage unit to the accommodating unit according to a predetermined condition, wherein the volatilization unit is disposed at a position limiting direct contact with the chemical of the accommodating unit.
