Embodiment 1.

1 is a diagram showing a deodorizing device in Embodiment 1;

As shown in FIG. 1 , the deodorizing device 1 is used in an elevator, for example.

The hoistway 100 penetrates each floor of a building (not shown). The car 101 of the elevator is provided inside the hoistway 100 . The compartment 101 ascends or descends inside the hoistway 100 . The raising or lowering of the compartment 101 is controlled by a control panel (not shown).

A deodorizing device (1) includes a storage box (2), a fan (3), and a deodorizer (10). For example, the deodorizing device 1 is provided above the compartment 101 .

For example, the storage box 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped box. The storage box 2 has a pair of box lids 2a on a pair of side faces facing each other. The storage box 2 includes a controller 2b. The storage box 2 is provided on the upper surface of the compartment 101 . The storage box 2 is provided so that one of the pair of box lids 2a faces the side wall of the hoistway 100 . For example, the storage box 2 is provided so that one of the pair of box lids 2a protrudes from the compartment 101 when viewed in the vertical direction. For example, the storage box 2 is electrically connected to the control panel. The storage box 2 acquires the control information of the compartment 101 from the control panel.

For example, each of the pair of box lids 2a is provided so as to be able to be opened and closed using a hinge. For example, each of the pair of box lids 2a opens and closes a part area of each of the pair of side surfaces of the storage box 2 .

The controller 2b is electrically connected to the control panel. The controller 2b acquires control information from the control panel. For example, the controller 2b controls the opening/closing operation of each of the pair of box lids 2a.

For example, the controller 2b controls the opening/closing operation of each pair of box lids 2a using the control information. Each of the pair of box lids 2a performs an opening operation under the control of the controller 2b when the compartment 101 moves up or down. Each of the pair of box lids 2a performs a closing operation under the control of the controller 2b when the compartment 101 is stopped. Each of the pair of box lids 2a is in a closed state when the compartment 101 is in a stationary state.

The fan 3 has blades 3a, a suction port 3b, and an air outlet 3c. The fan 3 is provided on the upper surface of the compartment 101 . The fan 3 is provided on the side of the storage box 2 . The fan 3 generates an airflow from the intake port 3b toward the intake port 3c by rotating the blade 3a. The fan 3 sucks in gas from the inlet 3b. The fan 3 blows out gas from the air outlet 3c.

The intake port 3b is connected to the other of the pair of box lids 2a.

The air outlet 3c is connected to the upper surface of the compartment 101 . The air outlet 3c is connected to the inside of the compartment 101 .

The deodorizer 10 is provided inside the storage box 2 . The deodorizer 10 imparts a deodorizing component to the gas that has passed through the inside.

The deodorizing device 1 blows a gas to which a deodorizing component is applied to the inside of the compartment 101 while the compartment 101 moves up and down.

For example, when the compartment 101 performs an upward operation, the controller 2b sets each of the pair of box lids 2a to an open state. The fan 3 sucks in the gas inside the storage box 2 through the suction port 3b when the pair of box lids 2a are open. The fan 3 generates a flow of gas from one of the pair of box lids 2a to the other inside the storage box 2 . The gas passes through the inside of the deodorizer 10 . The deodorizer 10 provides a deodorizing component to the body. The fan 3 blows the gas into the compartment 101 through the air outlet 3c.

For example, when the compartment 101 is stopped, the controller 2b sets each of the pair of box lids 2a to a closed state. For example, when the compartment 101 is stopped, the deodorizing device 1 stops blowing air to the inside of the compartment 101 with a gas to which a deodorizing component is applied.

Next, the mechanism of the deodorizer 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 .

Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the deodorizer of the deodorizer in Embodiment 1; 2(A) is a perspective view of an example of the deodorizer 10. As shown in FIG. 2(B) is a cross-sectional view of the deodorizer 10. Fig. 2(C) is a view viewed in the direction of the arrow Y in Fig. 2(B).

The deodorizer 10 includes a container 11, a deodorant 12, a mesh 13, a first cover 14, a second cover 15, a cover shaft 16, and an actuator 20.

For example, the container 11 has a cylindrical shape. The container 11 has a cavity inside. For example, the container 11 includes a pair of container openings 11a, a plurality of partition surfaces 11b, and a plurality of cell portions 11c.

Each of the pair of container openings 11a is provided on each of the pair of side surfaces of the container 11 facing each other. For example, each of the pair of container openings 11a is provided on each of the pair of bottom surfaces of the container 11 . For example, each of the pair of container openings 11a corresponds to the entirety of each of the pair of bottom faces in the container 11 .

Each of the plurality of partition surfaces 11b is provided inside the container 11 . Each of the plurality of partition surfaces 11b is provided from one side to the other of the pair of container openings 11a. For example, each of the plurality of partition surfaces 11b is provided perpendicularly to each of the pair of container openings 11a. For example, each of the plurality of partition surfaces 11b is provided radially from the central axis of the cylinder of the container 11 . The plurality of partition surfaces 11b divide the interior of the container 11 . For example, 16 partition surfaces 11b are provided. For example, the plurality of partition surfaces 11b divides the inside of the container 11 into 16 parts.

Each of the plurality of cell portions 11c is each region inside the container 11 divided by a plurality of partition surfaces 11b. Each of the plurality of cell portions 11c has a columnar shape with a pair of container openings 11a as bottom surfaces. For example, the cross section of each of the plurality of cell portions 11c is fan-shaped. For example, 16 of the plurality of cell parts 11c are provided in the container 11 .

For example, in the deodorant 12, porous resin beads are impregnated with a perfume. For example, essential oil, essential oil diluted with a solvent, and the like are used for the fragrance. For example, the fragrance is a volatile deodorant component. For example, the deodorant 12 includes a plurality of volatile deodorizing components. Each of the plurality of volatile deodorizing components exerts a masking deodorizing effect with respect to an odor using a fragrance.

The deodorant 12 is provided in each of the plurality of cell parts 11c. The inside of the deodorant 12 allows gas to freely pass through. For example, the deodorant 12 imparts a deodorizing component to the passing gas by passing gas through the inside.

For example, the plurality of meshes 13 have a mesh structure. Each of the plurality of meshes 13 is provided at both ends of each of the plurality of cell parts 11c. The plurality of meshes 13 allow gas to pass through. Each of the plurality of meshes 13 prevents the deodorant 12 from escaping from each of the plurality of cell parts 11c.

For example, the first lid 14 is molded into a disk shape. The first lid 14 has a first lid opening 14a. The first cover 14 is provided so as to face one of the pair of container openings 11a. For example, the center of the disk of the first lid 14 is located on the extension line of the cylindrical axis of the container 11 . For example, the side surface of the first lid 14 faces one of the pair of container openings 11a.

For example, the 1st lid 14 is provided on the upwind side (windward side) of the container 11 in the airflow flowing through the box lid 2a (not shown). The first lid 14 is provided so as to close one end of one of the plurality of cell portions 11c that does not face the first lid opening 14a. The first lid 14 is provided so as not to block one end of one of the plurality of cell portions 11c that faces the first lid opening 14a. The first lid 14 isolates the plurality of cell portions 11c closed by the first lid 14 from the gas outside the container 11 .

For example, the 1st lid opening 14a is formed by cutting out a part of the 1st lid 14. The first cover opening 14a has a shape in which several cross sections of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected. For example, the 1st cover opening part 14a is equipped with the shape of a sector. For example, the first lid opening 14a has a fan shape in which three cross sections of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected. The first lid opening 14a has an area equal to the sum of cross-sectional areas of two or more and less than the total number of the plurality of cell portions 11c. For example, the first cover opening 14a has an area equal to the sum of three cross sections of the plurality of cell portions 11c.

For example, the second cover 15 is molded into a disk shape. The second lid 15 has a second lid opening 15a. The second lid 15 is provided so as to face the other of the pair of container openings 11a. For example, the center of the disk of the second cover 15 is located on the extension line of the cylindrical axis of the container 11 . For example, the side surface of the second lid 15 faces the other of the pair of container openings 11a.

For example, the 1st lid 14 is provided on the downwind side (windward side) of the container 11 in the air flow flowing through the box lid 2a. The second lid 15 is provided so as to close the other end of one of the plurality of cell portions 11c that does not face the second lid opening 15a. The second lid 15 is provided so as not to block the other end of one of the plurality of cell portions 11c that faces the second lid opening 15a. The second lid 15 isolates the plurality of cell portions 11c closed by the second lid 15 from the gas outside the container 11 .

The second lid 15 is provided so that the plurality of cell portions 11c facing the second lid opening 15a and the plurality of cell portions 11c facing the first lid opening 14a coincide.

For example, the second lid opening 15a is formed by cutting out a part of the second lid 15 . The second lid opening 15a has a shape in which several cross sections of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected. For example, the 2nd cover opening part 15a is equipped with the shape of a part of fan shape. For example, the second lid opening 15a has a fan shape in which three cross sections of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected. The second cover opening 15a has an area equal to the sum of cross-sectional areas of two or more and less than all of the plurality of cell portions 11c. For example, the second lid opening 15a has an area equal to the sum of three cross sections of the plurality of cell portions 11c.

For example, the lid shaft 16 has a rod-like shape. The lid shaft 16 is connected to the center of the first lid 14 so as to be synchronized with the rotation of the first lid 14 . The lid shaft 16 is connected to the center of the second lid 15 so as to synchronize with the rotation of the second lid 15 . The lid shaft 16 rotates in synchronization with the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 . The lid shaft 16 rotates the first lid opening 14a and the second lid opening 15a by the same angle.

For example, the driver 20 includes a motor 21, a belt 22, and a cover controller 23. For example, the driver 20 is connected to the lid shaft 16 . For example, the driver 20 rotates the cover shaft 16 . The actuator 20 moves the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 via the lid shaft 16 . The actuator 20 changes the relative positions of the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 and the container 11 . When the relative positions of the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 and the container 11 are changed, the cell portion blocked by the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 among the plurality of cell parts 11c. The position of (11c) changes.

For example, the motor 21 includes a rotation shaft. The motor 21 generates a rotation driving force to the rotation shaft.

For example, the belt 22 is an endless belt. One end of the belt 22 is wound around the lid shaft 16 so that it can move following the rotation of the lid shaft 16 . The other end of the belt 22 is wound around the rotating shaft of the motor 21 so that it can move following the rotating shaft of the motor 21 . For example, the belt 22 transmits the rotational driving force of the motor 21 to the cover shaft 16 .

The lid controller 23 is electrically connected to the motor 21 . The lid controller 23 controls the operation of the motor 21 . For example, the cover controller 23 drives the motor 21 at an arbitrary number of revolutions. For example, the cover controller 23 rotates the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 by an arbitrary angle through the motor 21 .

In the storage box 2 not shown in FIG. 2 , gas passes through the inside of the plurality of cell portions 11c that are not blocked by the first lid 14 or the second lid 15 . Inside the plurality of cell portions 11c, the deodorizer 10 imparts a deodorizing component to the body. Henceforth, among the plurality of cell portions 11c, the cell portions 11c in a state where gas passes therein are referred to as "cells in use".

Next, an example of a process of changing a cell in use by the deodorizer 10 will be described using FIGS. 3 and 4 .

Fig. 3 is a view of the deodorizing device according to Embodiment 1, as viewed in the direction of the arrow X of the deodorizer. Fig. 4 is a view showing the deodorizing device in Embodiment 1 as seen in the direction of the arrow X of the deodorizing device for each period.

As shown in FIG. 3 , for example, the deodorizer 10 includes a plurality of 16 cell parts 11c. For example, in the deodorizer 10, three of the plurality of cell portions 11c are cells in use. The first cover opening 14a is located clockwise from the 12 o'clock direction of the clock. The deodorizer 10 in FIG. 3 is in a state in which no gas is passed through. The state of the deodorizer 10 in FIG. 3 is defined as an initial state.

For example, each of the plurality of cell portions 11c is assigned a code from a to p based on the 12 o'clock direction. For example, among the plurality of cell portions 11c, the cell portion present at the 12 o'clock position of the watch is cell a. Among the plurality of cell parts 11c, the cell part next to cell a to the right is cell b. Similarly, from cell c to cell p, the cells are provided in clockwise order.

For example, the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 (not shown in Fig. 3) are rotated clockwise by an angle corresponding to one of the plurality of cell portions 11c for each specified period. For example, the 1st cover 14 and the 2nd cover 15 rotate clockwise by 22.5 degrees every month.

As time passes, the deodorant 12 has a deteriorating effect of imparting a deodorizing component. For example, deodorants 12 are classified according to the period of use. For example, when the period of use is less than one month, the deodorant 12 is in a "new" state. For example, when the period of use is 1 month or more and less than 2 months, the deodorant 12 is in a state of "old 1". For example, when the used period is 2 months or more, the deodorant 12 is in a state of "old 2". For example, in the initial state, the deodorants 12 in cell a, cell b, and cell c are in a "new" state. Hereafter, deodorants 12 from cell a to cell p are defined as deodorant 12a to deodorant 12p, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 4 , for example, the deodorizer 10 changes the position of the cell during use every month. 4(A) shows the deodorizer 10 in an initial state. Fig. 4(B) shows the deodorizer 10 after one month has elapsed from the initial state. Fig. 4(C) shows the deodorizer 10 after 2 months have elapsed from the initial state. Fig. 4(D) shows the deodorizer 10 after 3 months have passed from the initial state.

In Fig. 4(A), the deodorant 12a, the deodorant 12b, and the deodorant 12c are in a "new" state.

In (B) of Fig. 4, the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 (not shown in Fig. 4) are clockwise rotated by 22.5 degrees compared to the initial state. Cell a is not a cell in use. Cell d is a cell in use. The deodorant 12b and the deodorant 12c are in a "high 1" state. The deodorant 12d is in a "new" state. The deodorizer 10 releases gas in which the deodorizing components in the "high 1" and "new" states are mixed.

In (C) of FIG. 4, the 1st lid 14 and the 2nd lid 15 are clockwise rotated by 22.5 degree compared with the state shown in FIG. 4(B). Cell b is not a cell in use. Cell e is a cell in use. The deodorant 12c is in a "high 2" state. The deodorant 12d is in a "high 1" state. The deodorant 12e is in a "new" state. The deodorizer 10 emits a mixture of deodorizing components in the "high 2", "high 1", and "new" states.

In Fig. 4(D), the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 are clockwise rotated by 22.5 degrees as compared with the state shown in Fig. 4(C). Cell c is not a cell in use. Cell f is a cell in use. The deodorant 12d is in a "high 2" state. The deodorant 12e is in a "high 1" state. The deodorant 12f is in a "new" state. The deodorizer 10 emits a mixture of deodorizing components in the "high 2", "high 1", and "new" states.

Thereafter, the deodorizer 10 performs the same operation as described above every month. During the period from the initial state to the elapse of 13 months, the deodorizer 10 emits a gas in which deodorizing components in the "high 2", "high 1", and "new" states are mixed.

When 14 months have elapsed from the initial state, the cells in use are cell o, cell p, and cell a. In cell a, the deodorant 12a is in a "high 1" state. The deodorizer 10 releases gas in which the deodorizing components in the "high 2" and "high 1" states are mixed.

When 15 months or more have elapsed from the initial state, the deodorizer 10 releases gas mixed with deodorizing components in the "high 2" state.

Next, using Figs. 5 to 8, the state in which the deodorizing effect of the deodorizer 10 changes is compared with the same state in the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure, and explained.

Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a conventional deodorizer as a comparative example of the deodorizer in Embodiment 1; Fig. 6 is a diagram showing how the fragrance strength of the deodorizing component of the deodorizing device according to Embodiment 1 changes. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing how the ratio of fragrance intensity of deodorizing components in the deodorizing device according to Embodiment 1 changes. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing how the total fragrance intensity of deodorizing components of the deodorizing device according to Embodiment 1 changes.

As shown in FIG. 5 , for example, the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure has a cylindrical shape. The deodorizer 50 has a deodorant 12 inside. Compared to the deodorizer 10 not shown in FIG. 5 of Embodiment 1, the deodorizer 50 does not include the plurality of cell portions 11c, the first lid 14, and the second lid 15. . The deodorizer 50 uses the entirety of the deodorant 12 inside to impart a deodorizing component to the gas.

In FIG. 6 , a graph showing the relationship between the fragrance intensity of the deodorizing component contained in the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1 and the elapsed time is shown. Fragrance intensity is the intensity of the fragrance of a deodorant component felt by humans. The fragrance intensity has a positive correlation with the concentration of the deodorizing component contained in the gas. The unit of fragrance intensity is an arbitrary unit [a.u.].

The vertical axis represents the fragrance intensity of the deodorizing component contained in the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1. The unit of the vertical axis is an arbitrary unit [a.u.].

The horizontal axis represents the period elapsed from the initial state. The unit of the horizontal axis is an arbitrary unit [a.u.]. For example, the unit of the horizontal axis is one month.

For example, the deodorant 12 includes deodorant component A and deodorant component B. The deodorizing component A is a component with relatively high volatility. The deodorizing component B is a component with lower volatility than the deodorizing component A. For example, the deodorant 12 exerts a deodorizing effect when the sum of the concentration of the deodorizing component A and the concentration of the deodorizing component B in the contacted gas is greater than a certain value. For example, the deodorant 12 exerts a deodorizing effect when the value of the ratio of the concentration of the deodorizing component A and the concentration of the deodorizing component B in the contacted gas is within a certain range.

The strength of the fragrance imparted to the body by the deodorant 12 decreases with time. Fragrance intensity x(t) is expressed by the following formula (1).

x(t)=A*exp(-t/ε)　　　(1)

t is the time elapsed from the initial state. A is an initial intensity representing the fragrance intensity in an initial state. ε is an attenuation coefficient specific to each deodorizing component. For example, the value of ε of deodorant component A is twice the value of ε of deodorant component B.

In the graph of FIG. 6 , the relationship shown by the deodorizer 10 of Embodiment 1 is drawn with a solid line. The thin line in the solid line means the relationship of the deodorant component A. The thick line in the solid line means the relationship of the deodorant component B.

In the deodorizer 10, the fragrance intensity of the deodorant component A decreases from 6 in the initial state. When one month has elapsed from the initial state, the cell in use is replaced with another cell. When the cell in use is replaced, the scent intensity of the deodorizing component A increases. The zigzag shape of the graph of the deodorizing component A indicates that the cell during use is replaced. In a period of 2 months or more and less than 14 months from the initial state, the fragrance intensity of the deodorant component A shows a value within a certain range. In the period after 14 months from the initial state, the fragrance intensity of the deodorant component A decreases.

In the deodorizer 10, the fragrance intensity of the deodorant component B decreases from the initial state of 3. The graph of fragrance intensity of deodorant component B shows the same tendency as the graph of fragrance intensity of deodorant component A.

In the graph of Fig. 6, the relationship shown by the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure is drawn by a broken line or a dotted line. The broken line means the relationship between the concentrations of the deodorant component A. The one-dotted chain line means the relationship between the concentrations of the deodorant component B. In order to equalize the conditions, the air volume flowing through the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure is set to a value 3/16 times the air volume flowing through the deodorizer 10.

In the deodorizer 50, the scent intensity of the deodorant component A decreases monotonically from 6 in the initial state. The speed of the decrease is slower than the speed of decrease of the fragrance intensity of the deodorant component A in the deodorizer 10 because the set air volume is different.

In the deodorizer 50, the fragrance intensity of the deodorant component B monotonically decreases from 3 in the initial state. The speed of the decrease is slower than the speed of decrease of the fragrance intensity of the deodorizing component B in the deodorizer 10 because the set air volume is different.

In the deodorizer 50, the fragrance intensity of the deodorizing component A is weaker than that of the deodorizing component B when about 8 months have elapsed from the initial state.

In FIG. 7, a graph showing the relationship between the ratio of the deodorizing component contained in the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1 and the elapsed time is shown.

The vertical axis represents the ratio A/B of the fragrance intensity of the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1. The unit of the vertical axis is an arbitrary unit [a.u.]. The fragrance intensity ratio A/B is the ratio of the fragrance intensity of the deodorizing component A to the fragrance intensity of the deodorizing component B.

For example, the deodorant 12 exhibits a deodorizing effect when the value of the ratio A/B of the fragrance intensity in the contacted gas is within a certain range. This constant range is called an optimal component ratio. For example, the optimal component ratio is between 1.0 and 1.6.

The horizontal axis represents the period elapsed from the initial state. The unit of the horizontal axis is an arbitrary unit [a.u.]. For example, the unit of the horizontal axis is one month.

In the graph of FIG. 7 , the relationship indicated by the deodorizer 10 of the first embodiment is drawn with a solid line. The zigzag shape of the graph of the deodorizer 10 indicates that the cell during use is replaced. In a period of 2 months or more and less than 14 months from the initial state, the ratio of fragrance intensity represents the value of the optimal component ratio.

In the graph of Fig. 7, the relationship shown by the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure is drawn with a broken line. In order to equalize the conditions, the air volume flowing through the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure is set to a value 3/16 times the air volume flowing through the deodorizer 10.

In the deodorizer 50, the fragrance intensity ratio A/B decreases monotonically from 2 in the initial state. In the deodorizer 50, the fragrance intensity ratio A/B is less than 1.0 when about 8 months have elapsed from the initial state. When the fragrance intensity ratio A/B is less than 1, the fragrance emitted from the deodorant 12 becomes a completely different fragrance compared to the initial state.

As shown in the graph of FIG. 7 , the deodorizer 10 maintains the deodorizing effect over a longer period than the deodorizer 50 . The deodorizer 10 maintains the quality of the fragrance constant and maintains the masking effect over a long period of time.

In FIG. 8, a graph showing the relationship between the total fragrance intensity contained in the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1 and the elapsed time is shown. The total fragrance intensity means the sum of fragrance strengths of individual deodorizing components.

The vertical axis represents the total fragrance intensity of the deodorizing components contained in the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1. The unit of the vertical axis is an arbitrary unit [a.u.].

For example, the deodorant 12 exerts a deodorizing effect when the value of the total fragrance intensity in the contacted gas is within a certain range. This constant range is called the optimal concentration in the cell. For example, the optimal concentration in a cell is between 2.5 and 5.0.

The horizontal axis represents the period elapsed from the initial state. The unit of the horizontal axis is an arbitrary unit [a.u.]. For example, the unit of the horizontal axis is one month.

In the graph of FIG. 8 , the relationship shown by the deodorizer 10 of Embodiment 1 is drawn with a solid line. The zigzag shape of the graph of the deodorizer 10 indicates that the cell during use is replaced. In the period of 2 months or more and less than 14 months from the initial state, the total fragrance intensity shows the value of the optimal concentration in the compartment.

In the graph of Fig. 8, the relationship shown by the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure is drawn with a broken line. The amount of air flowing through the deodorizer 50 of the conventional structure is 3/16 times, 2/16 times, and 1/16 times the amount of air flowing through the deodorizer 10 as case X, case Y, and case Z, respectively. It is set to double the value.

In the deodorizer 50, in the case of case X, the total fragrance intensity decreases monotonically from 9 in the initial state. Thereafter, the total fragrance intensity is less than 2.5 when about 9 months have elapsed from the initial state.

In the deodorizer 50, in the case of Case Y or Case Z, the total fragrance intensity decreases more gently than the case of Case X. In the case of case Y or case Z, the total scent intensity in the initial state is weaker than that of case X. In the case of case Y, the total fragrance intensity is less than 2.5 after about 9 months from the initial state. In the case of case Z, the total fragrance intensity is less than 2.5 after about 4 months from the initial state.

As shown in the graph of FIG. 8 , the deodorizer 10 maintains the deodorizing effect over a longer period than the deodorizer 50 .

According to Embodiment 1 described above, the deodorizing device 1 includes a container 11, a deodorant 12, a first lid 14, and a driver 20. The container 11 has a pair of container openings 11a. The container 11 includes three or more of the plurality of cell parts 11c. The deodorant 12 is stored in two or more of the plurality of cell parts 11c. The deodorant 12 gives a deodorizing effect to the contacted gas. The first lid 14 has a first lid opening 14a. The first cover 14 isolates a part of the plurality of cell portions 11c from the outside air. The driver 20 changes the cell in use to another cell by moving the first lid 14 . For this reason, the deodorizing device 1 can be maintained in a state where the deodorant 12 is not used. In the deodorizing device 1, the deodorant 12 to be used can be replaced. As a result, the deodorizing device 1 can suppress large changes in the proportions of the plurality of deodorizing components over a long period of time. The deodorizing device 1 can sustain the deodorizing effect for a long period of time.

In addition, the deodorizing device 1 includes a cylindrical container 11 . Each of the plurality of cell portions 11c has a fan-shaped shape. The first lid opening 14a has a fan-shaped shape. Therefore, by rotating the first lid 14, the plurality of cell portions 11c can be blocked. As a result, the deodorizing device 1 can easily change the relative position of the container 11 and the first cover 14 . The deodorizer 10 can be miniaturized.

In addition, the container 11 may be provided with the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. Each of the plurality of cell portions 11c is provided so as to line up in parallel. For this reason, the container 11 can be provided even in a narrow installation location.

Further, the deodorizing device 1 includes a second lid 15 and a lid shaft 16 . The second lid 15 has a second lid opening 15a. The second cover 15 isolates a part of the plurality of cell portions 11c from outside air. The cell portion of the second cover 15 open to the outside air is the same as the cell portion of the first cover 14 open to the outside air. The lid shaft 16 rotates in synchronization with the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 . For this reason, the deodorizer 10 can block both ends of each of the plurality of cell parts 11c. The deodorizer 10 can pass gas through both ends of each of the plurality of cell parts 11c. As a result, the deodorizing effect can be maintained for a long period of time.

In addition, the deodorizing device 1 includes a storage box 2 . The storage box 2 is provided on the upper surface of the car 101 of the elevator. The storage box 2 is equipped with a pair of box lids 2a provided on the side surface so as to be able to be opened and closed. The storage box 2 stores the container 11, the deodorant 12, the first lid 14, the second lid 15, and the lid shaft 16. For this reason, the deodorizing device 1 can suppress the airflow passing through the periphery of the container 11 . As a result, the deodorizing device 1 can reliably send gas having a deodorizing effect into the compartment 101 .

Moreover, the storage box 2 acquires elevator control information. The storage box 2 opens a pair of box lids 2a using control information when the compartment 101 moves upward or downward. For this reason, the storage box 2 allows the air current to pass therein only at the time of going up and down. As a result, the deodorizing device 1 can sustain the deodorizing effect for a long time.

In addition, it is not necessary to open and close the pair of box lids 2a. For example, the pair of box lids 2a are always open.

Also, the number of cell portions 11c may not be 16. When there are three or more cell portions 11c, the deodorizing device 1 achieves an effect of prolonging the effective time.

In addition, the deodorizing component of the deodorant 12 does not have to exert an aromatic effect. For example, in the deodorant 12, porous resin beads are impregnated with a volatile deodorizing component. For example, the deodorant 12 includes a component that removes an odor from a gas in contact with it.

Further, the first lid opening 14a may not have a shape in which three of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected. For example, the first lid opening 14a has a shape in which two or more of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected.

In addition, the second lid opening 15a may not have a shape in which three of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected. For example, the second lid opening 15a has a shape in which two or more of the plurality of cell portions 11c are connected.

In addition, the deodorizer 10 does not need to be provided with the 2nd lid 15. For example, when the amount of the deodorizing component released by the deodorant 12 is very small, the deodorizer 10 does not include the second lid 15 . Specifically, when the vapor pressure of the perfume in the deodorant 12 is low, or when it is difficult for air to pass through the deodorant 12 because the particle size is small, the amount of the deodorant component released by the deodorant 12 is a very small amount. .

In addition, the driver 20 may move the container 11 . For example, the driver 20 moves the container 11 relative to the first cover 14 . For example, the actuator 20 changes the cell in use to another cell by moving the container 11 .

In addition, the unit of the prescribed period may not be one month. For example, the prescribed period is one week. For example, the prescribed period is three months.

Next, a first modified example of the deodorizer 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 9 .

Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a first modified example of the deodorizer of the deodorizer in Embodiment 1; Fig. 9(A) is a plan view of the deodorizer 10 in the first modified example. Fig. 9(B) is a BB' sectional view of Fig. 9(A).

As shown in Fig. 9, in the first modification, the first cover 14 and the second cover 15, not shown in Fig. 9, move continuously. For example, the first lid 14 forms an opening α of the cell z between the cell z belonging to the plurality of cell portions 11c. The opening α is a region where one end of the cell z and the first lid opening 14a overlap during movement of the first lid 14 . The area of the opening α is smaller than the area of one end of the cell z.

Compared with the 1st lid 14 and the 2nd lid 15 in the 1st modified example, the 1st lid 14 and the 2nd lid 15 in Embodiment 1 move quickly intermittently. In the deodorizer 10 which is not a modified example, the time for which the opening α exists is short. The time during which the opening α exists in Comparative Example 1 is longer than the time during which the opening α exists in Embodiment 1.

In the first modification, when opening of a new cell z starts, the area of the opening α gradually increases from zero.

When the area of the opening α is small, the amount of gas flowing inside the cell z is small. As the area of the opening α increases, the amount of gas flowing inside the cell z increases. For this reason, in the gas after passing through the deodorizer 10, the scent intensity continuously increases as the area of the opening α increases.

When the value of the area of the opening α is greater than a certain value, the amount of gas flowing inside the cell z takes a constant value. The reason for this is that, when the value of the area of the opening α is larger than a certain area value, the conductance at the opening α is larger than the conductance inside the cell z. Conductance means the degree to which gas is easy to pass through at a certain place.

For example, when the value of the area of the opening α is larger than half the area of one end of the cell z, the amount of gas flowing inside the cell z is a constant saturation amount.

In the first modified example of Embodiment 1 described above, the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 move continuously. The area of the opening α changes relatively over time. For this reason, the deodorizer 10 can moderate the concentration change of the deodorizing component in the passed gas. As a result, the deodorizer 10 can suppress a sudden change in fragrance in the passing gas.

Moreover, when the 1st cover 14 and the 2nd cover 15 move intermittently, the concentration of the deodorizing component emitted by the deodorizer 10 becomes discontinuous. In this case, the fragrance of the gas passing through the deodorizer 10 changes rapidly. In the first modification, the deodorizer 10 can suppress a sudden change in the scent.

Next, a second modified example of the deodorizer 10 will be described using FIGS. 10 and 11 .

10 is a diagram showing a second modified example of the deodorizer of the deodorizing device in the first embodiment. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing how the concentration of the sum of fragrance components of the deodorizing device in the second modified example of the deodorizing device according to the first embodiment changes.

As shown in FIG. 10 , in the second modified example, one of the plurality of cells opened in the initial state is not provided with the deodorant 12 . For example, in the second modification, the cell that becomes clogged after lapse of one month from the initial state is not provided with the deodorant 12 . For example, in the second modification, cell a does not include the deodorant 12 .

In FIG. 11, a graph showing the relationship between the total fragrance intensity contained in the gas after passing through the deodorizing device 1 of the second modified example and the elapsed time is shown. The vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the graph are the same as the vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the graph shown in Fig. 8, which is not a modified example. The value of the optimum concentration within a cell is the same as the value of the optimum concentration within a cell of the graph shown in Fig. 8, which is not a modified example.

In the graph of FIG. 11, the relationship shown by the deodorizer 10 of the second modified example is drawn with a solid line. The zigzag shape of the graph of the deodorizer 10 indicates that the cell during use is replaced. In the period of 2 months or more and less than 14 months from the initial state, the total fragrance intensity shows the value of the optimum concentration in the compartment.

In the second modification, the total fragrance intensity in the initial state is 7.

In the second modified example of Embodiment 1 described above, one of the plurality of cells opened in the initial state does not include the deodorant 12 . For this reason, in the gas that has passed through the deodorizer 10, the total fragrance intensity can be set to a value close to the initial state and the subsequent state. In the initial state, the total fragrance intensity can be suppressed.

In addition, in the deodorizer 10 that is not the modified example, the concentration of the deodorizing component of the gas passing in the initial state is higher than the concentration in the second modified example. In Embodiment 1, the high-intensity fragrance emitted by the deodorizer 10 in the initial state may give a user an unpleasant feeling. In the second modification, the deodorizer 10 can suppress the strength of the fragrance in the initial state.

Next, a third modified example of the deodorizer 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 12 .

Fig. 12 is a diagram showing a third modified example of the deodorizer of the deodorizer in Embodiment 1;

As shown in Fig. 12, in the third modified example, a cell that is opened last among the plurality of cell portions 11c is provided with a deodorant 12'. The deodorant 12' differs from the deodorant 12 in the deodorant component it contains. The deodorant 12' has a different fragrance compared to the deodorant 12. For example, in the third modification, the cell p is provided with a deodorant 12'.

In the second modified example of Embodiment 1 described above, the cell that is opened last among the plurality of cell portions 11c is provided with a deodorant 12' containing a deodorant component different from the deodorant 12. For this reason, the deodorizer 10 can notify that the 1st lid 14 not shown in FIG. 12 and the 2nd lid 15, not shown in FIG. 12 rotated one round using a different fragrance. For example, a maintenance worker can know that it is time to replace the deodorant.

Next, a fourth modified example of the deodorizer 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 13 .

Fig. 13 is a diagram showing a fourth modified example of the deodorizer of the deodorizer in Embodiment 1; Fig. 13(A) is a plan view of the deodorizer 10 in the fourth modified example. Fig. 13(B) is a C-C' sectional view of Fig. 13(A).

As shown in Fig. 13, in the fourth modified example, the deodorizer 10 does not include a plurality of partition surfaces 11b. In the fourth modified example, the deodorizer 10 does not include the plurality of cell portions 11c. In the fourth modification, the length of the deodorizer 10 in the height direction is sufficiently smaller than the diameter of the pair of container openings 11a. For example, in the fourth modification, the length of the deodorizer 10 in the height direction is 1/10 of the diameter of the pair of container openings 11a.

The gas passing through the first lid opening 14a passes through the area sandwiched between the first lid opening 14a and the second lid opening 15a and the vicinity of the area inside the container 11 . The deodorant 12 not present in the region does not come into contact with the gas outside the container. In the deodorant 12 not present in the region, the effect of imparting the deodorizing component is not reduced.

When the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 are rotated, gas passing through the deodorizer 10 passes through the deodorant 12 sufficiently containing deodorizing components.

In the fourth modification, for example, the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 intermittently move. In the fourth modification, for example, the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 may move continuously.

In the fourth modified example of Embodiment 1 described above, the deodorizer 10 does not include the plurality of partition surfaces 11b. In the fourth modification, the length of the deodorizer 10 in the height direction is sufficiently smaller than the diameter of the pair of container openings 11a. For this reason, the gas that has passed through the first lid opening 14a passes through the area sandwiched between the first lid opening 14a and the second lid opening 15a inside the container 11 and the vicinity of the area. do. The deodorizer 10 can prevent deterioration of the deodorizing effect of the deodorant 12 that does not exist in the region. In the fourth modified example, the deodorizer 10 can produce an effect close to that of the non-modified deodorizer 10 in a state where the plurality of cell parts 11c are not provided.

Embodiment 2.

Fig. 14 is a diagram showing the deodorizer of the deodorizer in Embodiment 2; Fig. 14(A) is a perspective view of the deodorizer. Fig. 14(B) is a top view of the deodorizer. Fig. 14(C) is a view showing how a pair of sheets are peeled off. Fig. 14(D) is a D-D' sectional view of Fig. 14(B). In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same or equivalent part as the part of Embodiment 1. The description of this part is omitted.

In Embodiment 2, the number of cells in use increases with the lapse of time.

As shown in FIG. 14 , the deodorizing device 1 includes a deodorizing device 30 inside a storage box 2 .

The deodorizer 30 includes a container 31, a deodorant 12, a mesh 33, a pair of sheets 34, and a peeler 35.

For example, the container 31 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The container 31 has a cavity inside. For example, the container 31 includes a pair of container openings 31a, a plurality of partition surfaces 31b, and a plurality of cell portions 31c.

Each of the pair of container openings 11a is provided on each of the pair of side surfaces of the container 31 facing each other. For example, each of the pair of container openings 31a corresponds to the entirety of each of the pair of side surfaces of the container 31 .

Each of the plurality of partition surfaces 31b is provided inside the container 31 . Each of the plurality of partition surfaces 31b is provided from one side to the other of the pair of container openings 31a. For example, each of the plurality of partition surfaces 31b is provided perpendicular to each of the pair of container openings 31a. For example, each of the pair of container openings 31a is provided parallel to each other. The plurality of partition surfaces 31b divide the interior of the container 31 . For example, five partition surfaces 31b are provided. For example, the plurality of partition surfaces 31b divide the inside of the container 31 into six equal parts.

Each of the plurality of cell portions 31c is each region inside the container 31 divided by a plurality of partition surfaces 31b. Each of the plurality of cell portions 31c has a columnar shape with a pair of container openings 31a as a bottom. For example, the cross section of each of the plurality of cell portions 31c has a rectangular shape. For example, six of the plurality of cell portions 31c are provided in the container 31 . For example, each of the plurality of cell portions 31c is provided so as to line up in parallel.

For example, the deodorant 12 is the same deodorant as in Embodiment 1.

For example, the plurality of meshes 33 have a mesh structure. Each of the plurality of meshes 33 is provided at both ends of each of the plurality of cell portions 31c. The plurality of meshes 33 allow gas to pass through. Each of the plurality of meshes 33 prevents the deodorant 12 from escaping from each of the plurality of cell parts 31c.

For example, each of the pair of sheets 34 has a rectangular shape. Each of the pair of sheets 34 includes an adhesive 34a. Each of the pair of sheets 34 is bonded to each of the pair of container openings 31a via an adhesive 34a so that peeling is possible. Each of the pair of sheets 34 isolates the plurality of cell portions 31c blocked by the pair of sheets 34 from the gas outside the container 31 .

For example, the peeling device 35 is provided on the side of the container 31 . For example, the peeler 35 is connected to one end of each of the pair of sheets 34 . For example, the peeler 35 pulls each end of the pair of sheets 34. The peeler 35 peels each of the pair of sheets 34 from the container 31 . The peeling machine 35 controls the peeling position of each of the pair of sheets 34 .

The deodorizer 30 increases the number of cells in use by peeling each of the pair of sheets 34. The deodorizer 30 increases the number of cells in use every fixed period.

According to Embodiment 2 described above, the container 31 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. Each of the plurality of cell portions 31c is provided so as to line up in parallel. For this reason, the container 31 can be provided even in a narrow installation location.

In addition, the deodorizing device 1 includes a pair of sheets 34 . Each of the pair of sheets 34 is adhered to each of the pair of container openings 31a in a peelable manner. For this reason, the deodorizer 30 can use a new deodorant 12 every fixed period. As a result, the deodorizing device 1 can sustain the deodorizing effect for a long period of time.

Further, on the change in the strength and quality of the scent emitted by the deodorizer 30, as shown in Embodiment 1, the effect of the highly volatile deodorizing component is greater than that of the low volatility component. For this reason, in the case of using the new deodorant 12, the deodorizer 30 can keep the deodorizing effect constant without sealing the cell used for a long time.

In addition, the shape of the container 31 is not limited to a rectangle. For example, the container 31 has the same shape as the container 11 of the first embodiment. In this case, each of the pair of sheets 34 is circular. For example, the pair of sheets 34 have radial sheaths. In each of the pair of sheets 34, one area of the plurality of cell portions 11c is peeled along the sheath at regular intervals.

In addition, the deodorizer 30 does not need to be provided with the peeler 35, as long as it can peel each of the pair of sheet|seats 34 every fixed period. For example, the deodorizer 30 does not include the peeling device 35 . For example, a maintenance worker performs an operation of peeling each of the pair of sheets 34 at regular intervals.

In addition, if the number of cells in use increases with the passage of time, the deodorizer 30 does not need to include the pair of sheets 34. For example, the deodorizer 30 includes a container 11 not shown in Fig. 14, which is not a modified example, instead of the container 31. For example, the first cover 14 not shown in FIG. 14 and the second cover 15 not shown in FIG. 14 have a fan-shaped structure. For example, the first cover 14 widens the first cover opening 14a (not shown in FIG. 14) with the lapse of time. For example, the second lid 15 widens the second lid opening 15a, not shown in FIG. 14, over time.

Embodiment 3.

Fig. 15 is a diagram showing a deodorizing device in Embodiment 3; Fig. 16 is a diagram showing a driver of the deodorizing device in Embodiment 3; In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same or equivalent part as the part of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. The description of this part is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 15 , in the third embodiment, the deodorizing device 1 includes a driver 40 .

The actuator 40 includes a propeller 41 .

The propeller 41 includes a propeller fan 41a. For example, the propeller 41 is provided above the storage box 2 so that rotation is possible. For example, the propeller 41 is provided above one of the pair of box covers 2a.

A part of the propeller fan 41a is located directly above the space between the hoistway 100 and the compartment 101 . For example, the width of the space is 1 meter.

The propeller 41 rotates using an air current generated in the vicinity of the compartment 101 when the compartment 101 ascends or descends. The air flow is observed from the compartment 101 when the compartment 101 moves relative to the hoistway 100 . This airflow is a descending airflow with respect to the compartment 101 when the compartment 101 rises. This airflow is an upward airflow with respect to the compartment 101 when the compartment 101 descends.

The propeller 41 rotates by receiving the air current from the propeller fan 41a. For example, the propeller 41 rotates in the forward direction when the compartment 101 rises. For example, the propeller 41 rotates in the reverse direction when the compartment 101 descends.

As shown in FIG. 16, the actuator 40 includes a propeller 41, a first gear 42, a second gear 43, an escape wheel 44, and an ankle ) 45, a claw 46, and a pair of stoppers 47. For example, the driver 40 is connected to the storage box 2 . The driver 40 rotates the lid shaft 16 .

For example, the first gear 42 is a helical gear. The first gear 42 is connected to the shaft of the propeller 41 . The first gear 42 rotates in synchronization with the rotation of the propeller 41 .

For example, the second gear 43 is a helical gear. The teeth of the second gear 43 correspond to the teeth of the first gear 42 . The second gear 43 is rotatably provided so as to engage with the first gear 42 . For example, the second gear 43 together with the first gear 42 form a screw gear. For example, the rotational axis of the second gear 43 is parallel to the cover shaft 16 .

The escape wheel 44 has a disc shape. The escape wheel 44 has a plurality of projections 44a on its outer circumferential surface. The escape wheel 44 is connected to the lid shaft 16 . The central axis of the escape wheel 44 is coaxial with the lid axis 16 . For example, the escape wheel 44 rotates synchronously with the rotation of the lid shaft 16 .

One end of the ankle 45 has a two-pronged shape. Ankle 45 has a pair of insertion claws 45a at one end. The ankle 45 is rotatably connected to the shaft 45b at a position where the two prongs are attached. The other end of the ankle 45 is connected to the rotation shaft of the second gear 43. The ankle 45 is provided so that the escape wheel 44 is positioned between the two prongs. The ankle 45 is provided at a position where the pair of insertion claws 45a can come into contact with the plurality of projections 44a.

Ankle 45 is rotatably provided about an axis 45b. The ankle 45 receives a rotational driving force from the second gear 43. For example, when the second gear 43 rotates in the forward direction, one end of the ankle 45 moves in one direction. When one end of the ankle 45 moves in one direction, the other end of the ankle 45 moves in the other direction. For example, when the second gear 43 rotates in the reverse direction, one end of the ankle 45 moves in the other direction. When one end of the ankle 45 moves in the other direction, the other end of the ankle 45 moves in one direction.

The pair of insertion claws 45a apply an external force only from one direction to the plurality of projections 44a. When the pair of insertion claws 45a contact one of the plurality of projections 44a from the other direction, the pair of insertion claws 45a do not move the position of the projections 44a. The pair of insertion claws 45a move in the other direction without moving the position of the projection body 44a.

For example, the claws 46 have a rod-like shape. One end of the claw 46 is connected to the center of the second gear 43 . The claws 46 move in a pendulum shape with one end as the center. The claws 46 move in synchronism with the rotation of the second gear 43 .

One of the pair of stoppers 47 is provided on one side of the claw 46 . One of the pair of stoppers 47 is provided on the other side of the claws 46 . Each of the pair of stoppers 47 is provided to interfere with the movement of the claws 46 . Each of the pair of stoppers 47 defines a width in which the claws 46 can move. For example, one of the pair of stoppers 47 stops the movement of the claws 46 by colliding with them when the claws 46 move to one side.

The driving machine 40 rotates the cover shaft 16 by using the airflow generated by the lifting movement of the compartment 101 . The driver 40 moves the first lid 14 and the second lid 15 via the lid shaft 16 . The driver 40 changes the relative positions of the first cover 14 and the second cover 15 and the container 11 .

For example, the driver 40 rotates the cover shaft 16 clockwise when the compartment 101 rises. For example, the driver 40 does not rotate the lid shaft 16 when the compartment 101 descends.

For example, when the compartment 101 rises, the propeller 41 receives the downdraft. The propeller 41 rotates in a forward direction when receiving a downdraft. The first gear 42 rotates forward in synchronization with the propeller 41 . The second gear 43 rotates forward in synchronization with the first gear 42 . The ankle 45 may give rotational driving force to the second gear 43 . One end of the ankle 45 moves in one direction. The pair of insertion claws 45a apply an external force from one direction to one of the plurality of projections 44a. The escape wheel 44 rotates in a forward direction. The lid shaft 16 rotates clockwise in synchronization with the rotation of the escape wheel 44 .

For example, when the compartment 101 descends, the cover shaft 16 does not rotate. When the compartment 101 descends, one end of the ankle 45 moves in the other direction. The pair of insertion claws 45a contact one of the plurality of projections 44a from the other direction. The pair of insertion claws 45a move in the other direction without moving the position of the projection body 44a.

According to Embodiment 3 described above, the actuator 40 includes a propeller 41 . The propeller 41 is provided above the car 101 of the elevator. The propeller 41 is rotatably provided to the driver 40 . The propeller 41 is rotated by air current generated around the compartment 101 when the compartment 101 moves upward or downward. The driver 40 changes the relative position of the container 11 and the first lid 14 using the driving force of the rotation. For this reason, the deodorizing device 1 can rotate the 1st lid|cover 14 and the 2nd lid 15 of the deodorizer 10, without being provided with an electric power facility.

In addition, the pair of insertion claws 45a may be provided so as to apply an external force only from the other direction to the plurality of projections 44a.
