  • a porous vibrating body that vibrates in response to the ultrasonic vibration energy of the ultrasonic vibrator. Since the porous vibrating body is porous, it can hold a liquid. For this reason, the porous vibrating body holding the liquid vibrates by receiving ultrasonic vibration energy, so that the liquid becomes mist. Since the porous vibrator has a porous shape, the contact area with the liquid is large, and the spray efficiency is high. In particular, when the essential oil is atomized, it is not necessary to dilute the essential oil with water, so a water tank is not required, and the mist generator can be downsized.
  • the mist generation method of the present invention includes a step of transmitting vibration energy of an ultrasonic vibrator to a porous vibrating body and misting a liquid in contact with the porous vibrating body.

For this reason, the porous vibrating body holding the liquid vibrates by receiving ultrasonic vibration energy, so that the liquid becomes mist. Since the porous vibrator has a porous shape, the contact area with the liquid is large, and the spray efficiency is high. In particular, when the essential oil is atomized, it is not necessary to dilute the essential oil with water, so a water tank is unnecessary, and the mist generator to which the present invention is applied can be downsized.

  • the schematic diagram of the mist generator which concerns on embodiment is shown.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a mist generating device.
  • Configuration Example A mist generating apparatus 100 includes an ultrasonic transducer 10 and a porous vibrating body 20.
  • the size of the ultrasonic transducer 10 can be determined in consideration of the size of the porous vibrating body 20 and the ability required of the mist generating device 100.
  • the porous vibrating body 20 is provided at a position adjacent to the ultrasonic vibrator 10 and vibrates in response to the ultrasonic vibration energy of the ultrasonic vibrator 10.
  • the shape and size of the porous vibrating body 20 are determined in consideration of the size of the mist generating device 100 and its mist generating ability, and may be a cube of 2 to 3 cm square, for example. Further, the porous vibrating body 20 may be cylindrical (see FIG. 2).
  • the material of the porous vibrating body 20 is porous (specifically, an aggregate of granular vacancies or a fine pipe-like structure) and can vibrate upon receiving the vibration energy of the ultrasonic vibrator 10. Although not particularly limited, a highly rigid material is preferable, and examples thereof include rust preventive materials such as aluminum and stainless steel and hard ceramics.
  • the porous vibrating body 20 is fixed to the ultrasonic transducer 10.
  • the fixing method is not limited as long as it can be fixed, but an adhesion method that transmits the vibration energy of the ultrasonic transducer 10 without loss is preferable, and examples thereof include fixing with an adhesive.
  • the pore diameter of the porous vibrating body 20 can be set to 10 to 100 ⁇ m, for example.
  • the density of the holes should be as close as possible within the range that can be produced.
  • a control unit (not shown) for controlling the ultrasonic transducer 10 can be provided.
  • the control unit can be composed of, for example, a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM.
  • the power source (not shown) for driving the ultrasonic transducer 10 may be an AC power source or a dry battery.
  • essential oil is dropped onto the porous vibrating body 20 and is absorbed by the porous vibrating body 20 using the porous capillary phenomenon.
  • the dripping of the essential oil onto the porous vibrating body 20 may be performed using a dropper or the like by a human hand, or may be performed using a supply device such as a known dripping device.
  • the amount of the essential oil to be dropped varies depending on the size of the porous vibrator 20, but when the porous vibrator 20 is a cube of 2 to 3 cm square, it can be set to 2 to 3 ml, for example.
  • the ultrasonic vibrator 10 is driven to transmit ultrasonic vibration energy to the porous vibrator 10 to mist the essential oil.
  • a high-frequency voltage near the resonance frequency of the ultrasonic vibrator 10 is applied.
  • pulsed intermittent driving may be used from the viewpoint of preventing idling and power saving.
  • it may be driven by a continuous wave in which a high frequency wave transmitted from a sine wave or rectangular wave transmitter is amplified by a power amplifier.
  • the transmitter may be intermittently turned on and off. .
  • the porous vibrating body 20 since the porous vibrating body 20 has a porous shape, the liquid can be held and the contact area with the liquid is large. For this reason, the misting efficiency of the liquid is high. For this reason, essential oil can be dripped directly into the porous vibrating body 20, and the essential oil can be mist-ized. For this reason, conventionally, the essential oil diluted in a large amount of water was misted. In the present embodiment, it is not necessary to dilute the essential oil in a large amount of water. Therefore, it is possible to make the mist only of the essential oil, so that the efficiency of spraying the essential oil can be increased, and the tank for storing the water becomes unnecessary, so that the mist generating device can be downsized. Further, since a water tank is not required, a problem caused by water leakage when the device is overturned can be avoided.
  • the battery can be driven by a dry battery, etc., instead of an AC power supply. Also, sufficient evaporation can be achieved by intermittent driving of the ultrasonic transducer 10, and damage to the ultrasonic transducer due to airing can be prevented.
  • the liquid to be misted may be not only essential oil but also other liquid such as aqueous solution.
  • the present invention can be applied, for example, as an aroma generating device that mists aromatic essential oil.
