  However, the scenting device described in Patent Document 1 is intended to forcibly perform scenting from a scented body using a fan or to stop scenting when the fan stops. However, the structure is extremely complicated and the manufacturing cost is high, and the complicated structure is likely to cause problems in the stability of the operation, and it is difficult to reliably smell and stop this smell. is there.

  Accordingly, the present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and with a very simple configuration, the fragrance from the fragrance body is reliably used with a fan, and the fragrance is generated when the fan is stopped. The opening of the container is closed with a lid to stop fragrance, so that a product can be obtained at a low cost and the stability of operation can be obtained.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention arranges a fragrance container in which a fragrance body is housed in a casing in which a fragrance opening communicating with the outside air is provided and a fan is disposed on the upper side. A lid body that communicates with the fragrance body to form an opening, covers the opening section, and blocks fragrance from the fragrance body is connected to the fragrance container so as to be openable and closable. The other end of the tensioning string with one end fixed is connected with an inclination so that the cover body direction is downward, and is formed in a spiral shape with a wire having a strength that does not deform when the tensioning string is pulled upward. The upper end of the cam is fixed to the fan and formed to rotate integrally with the fan, and this cam can be introduced at the lower end of the spiral so that it faces the lower surface of the tensioned string, so that the tensioned string can be pushed up by the cam. An introduction portion to be disposed is arranged, and the introduction portion and the screw are disposed above the introduction portion. By forming a push-up unit that pushes up the tension string upward along with the rotation of the fan and forming the push-up unit by a spiral slope with an arc-shaped curve inclined upward, The tension string can be pushed up from the bottom, and the lid connected to the other end of the tension string can be pulled up by pushing up the tension string. A release portion that releases from the lower surface of the tension string and releases the contact with the tension string is formed on the cam, and this release portion is also formed via a spiral slope, and the release portion is tensioned as the cam rotates. A spiral curve is formed so that it can be detached from the lower surface of the lacing side, so that the release part is not in contact with the tying string, and by releasing this contact, the force in the upward direction on the lid is released. The lid is lowered by its own weight, and the fragrance container It is intended to stop the odoriferous covers the opening. The hinge part may be formed thin or bendable with a film fixed. Moreover, this hinge part may be comprised from a connecting shaft and a bearing part.

Moreover, the other end of the tension string which fixed one end to the casing above this cover body is fixed to the cover body which cuts off the fragrance from this fragrance body. The stretched string is arranged so as to be inclined so that the lid direction is downward and the casing direction is upward. Then, by pulling the tension string upward between the lid and the casing, the lid is also lifted upward with the hinge portion as a fulcrum so that the opening of the fragrance container can be opened to allow fragrance. It is composed. The tension string is pulled upward by a cam fixed to the fan and rotating together with the fan.

This cam faces the lower surface of the tension string, and the introduction portion is arranged so as not to contact the tension string. Then, a push-up portion is formed on the cam above the introduction portion, which is continuous with the introduction portion and pushes the tension string upward as the fan rotates. This push-up portion is formed by an upward slope of an arc-shaped curve. Further, a release portion is formed that is continuous with the apex of the push-up portion and is released from the lower surface of the tension string as the fan rotates and releases the contact with the tension string. By releasing the contact between the cam and the tension string, the lid body is lowered by its own weight, covers the opening of the fragrance container, and stops fragrance. After this, if the fan continues to rotate, the introduction part enters below the tension string, and then the upper part pushes up the tension string so that the lid repeatedly opens and closes the opening. In addition, when the rotation of the fan stops when the push-up unit comes into contact with the tension string, the lid may remain open, but the weight is sufficient to reverse the fan while the rotation of the fan is stopped. By giving to the lid, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the lid reverses the fan via the tension string as the fan stops and the lid remains open. It is also possible to control using a sensor so that the rotation of the fan does not stop when the push-up portion is in contact with the tension string.

The cam is formed of a wire, and the wire is bent to form an introduction portion, a push-up portion, and a release portion . When the cam is formed of a wire, it is easy to mold, but it may be deformed during use, and attention should be paid to the thickness, material, rigidity, etc. of the wire .

  Moreover, said fan can also start or stop perfume by rotating or stopping rotation automatically by the time control by a timer.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the cam with its upper end fixed to the fan also rotates by operating the fan, so that the cam is arranged facing the lower surface of the tension string. Is moved in the circumferential direction on the lower surface of the tension string, and a push-up portion formed continuously from the introduction portion pushes the tension string upward. As a result of the lifting of the tension string, the lid is also lifted upward. As a result, the lid opens the opening of the fragrance container and allows fragrance. In this way, the opening of the fragrance container is performed by pulling up the lid through a tension string by a cam , so that the mechanism not only enables extremely simple and inexpensive production, but also ensures the reliability of operation. It becomes possible to do.

In addition, when the opening of the fragrance container is blocked, the rotation of the fan continues, so that the release portion of the cam is detached from the lower surface of the tensioning string and the tensioning string is lifted, so that the lid body is lowered by its own weight. The fragrance can be stopped by covering the opening of the fragrance container. Since the fragrance body is covered with a lid when the fragrance is stopped, it is possible to use the fragrance body for a long time without any unnecessary fragrance when the fragrance device is not used. Is something that can be done. In this way, the operation of covering the opening of the fragrance container can be automatically performed, and fine alignment between the lid and the opening is not required. It can be stopped. Further, by continuing the rotation of the fan for a certain period of time, the lid body repeatedly moves up and down due to the above-described action, so that air flow is generated in the opening portion and strong fragrance of the fragrance body is enabled. If this strong fragrance is not desired, the amount of fragrance can be adjusted by shortening the rotation time of the fan.

  First, Example 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. (1) is a fragrance, and natural fragrances, synthetic fragrances, and blended fragrances combining these can be used. In addition, this fragrance is formed into a solid such as aqueous gel, oil-based gel, wax, microcapsule, inclusion compound, sublimation solid, polymer resin, molded product, or used in liquid. It can be used by impregnating paper, chemical fiber, or impregnating liquid perfume into powder, granule, bead-like solid particulate matter.

  The fragrance body (1) is housed in a fragrance container (2) having a U-shaped cross section whose surface is covered with a covering body (3), and the covering body of the fragrance container (2) ( An opening (4) is opened at a portion corresponding to 3) to enable fragrance from the fragrance body (1). Moreover, this opening part (4) attaches a protection net | network (5) to an inner surface, prevents discharge | emission to the exterior of the fragrance | flavor body (1) accommodated inside, or intrusion of dust etc. from the outside. It is preventing. Moreover, the cover body (6) is connected to the cover body (3) portion of the scent container (2) through the hinge section (7) so as to be openable and closable outside the opening section (4).

  The lid (6) covers the opening (4) and presses and covers the opening (4) by its own weight, and is externally provided through the opening (4) from the fragrance body (1). It is possible to block the fragrance of The hinge portion (7) may be formed of a resin film that can be easily bent and restored, or the lid (6) is formed integrally with the cover (3) via a thin portion (not shown). It may be one that facilitates bending restoration. Further, the hinge portion (7) may be constituted by a connecting shaft and a bearing portion. The lid body (6) is not particularly limited in material as long as the fragrance to the outside from the fragrance body (1) can be blocked when the opening (4) is covered. A lightweight and strong resin material such as polypropylene or Duracon is preferable.

The lid (6), the fragrance container (2), etc. are arranged in a casing (11) provided with fragrance ports (8), (9) at the upper and lower parts, and a motor is disposed at the upper part in the casing (11). The fan (12) driven by (21) is arranged. The fan (12) can be automatically rotated or stopped by time control by a timer. Moreover, the other end of the tension string (13) is fixed to the lid (6) for controlling the fragrance from the fragrance body (1). The tension string (13) has one end fixed to the casing (11) at a position above the lid (6) and not in contact with the fan (12), and the other end is hinged to the lid (6). The part (7) is fixed on the opposite side. And this tension string (13)
(6) Arrange so that the direction is downward and the casing (11) is upward. Further, the tension string (13) is fixed to a fixed protrusion (19) that protrudes on the upper surface of the lid (6) on the side opposite to the hinge part (7).

Thus, if the tension string (13) is tilted so that the direction of the lid (6) is downward, the tension string (13) is pulled upward, so that the lid (6) Also, the hinge portion (7) is lifted upward. By this pulling up, the opening (4) of the fragrance container (2) is opened to allow fragrance. The tension string (13) is pulled upward by a cam (14) that fixes the upper end fixing portion (10) to the fan (12) and rotates together with the fan (12).

The cam (14) is formed of a wire having a strength that does not deform when the tension string (13) is pulled upward, thereby facilitating molding. Then, the cam constructed by the wire (14), As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, roughly formed in a spiral shape, set kick in to face the lower surface the lower end of the helical Zhang設紐(13) by arranging the electrically join the club to allow introduction of the push-up Zhang設紐by the cam (15). Then, the tensioning string (13) is pushed upward with the rotation of the fan (12) continuously to the cam (14) above the introducing part (15) via a spiral slope. A push-up part (16) is formed. The push-up portion (16) is formed by a spiral slope having an arc-shaped curve inclined upward, and a tension string (13) is formed so as to be pushed up from the lower surface as shown in FIGS.

Further, a release portion (continuous to the apex of the push-up portion (16) and detached from the lower surface of the tension cord (13) as the fan (12) rotates to release the contact with the tension cord (13)). 17) is formed on the cam (14). The release portion (17) is also formed through a spiral slope, and as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the release portion (17) is detached from the lower surface of the tension cord (13) sideways as the cam (14) rotates. A spiral curve is formed so as to be in a non-contact state with the tension string (13). By releasing the contact between the cam (14) and the tension string (13), the cover (6) is also released from the force in the push-up direction, so the cover (6) is lowered by its own weight, and the scent container (2) The fragrance is stopped by covering the opening (4). After this, if the rotation of the fan (12) is continued, the lid (6) repeats opening and closing of the opening (4) by the above action. By repeating this, the lid body (6) repeats the pattern and the vertical movement, so that an air flow is generated in the opening and the fragrant body can be strongly scented. If this strong fragrance is not preferred, the amount of fragrance can be adjusted by shortening the rotation time of the fan (12).

  The fan (12) is rotated by a household power source, a dry battery (18), etc., and is automatically activated or deactivated by time control by a timer, so that aroma can be started or stopped. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a storage part (20) for a dry battery (18) is formed at the lower end of the casing (11). Then, if the fan (12) is automatically activated or deactivated by the time control by the timer and the fragrance can be started or stopped, the fan (12) is activated before the bedtime, and the desired scent It becomes possible to go to bed and to stop the fan (12) after falling asleep. It is also possible to set the time control by a timer so that the fan (12) is operated before the wake-up time and the desired scent can be sensed at the time of wake-up. Of course, it is possible to scent for an arbitrary time by manual operation without performing time control by a timer.

In order to perform fragrance in the above-described structure, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the fan (15) with the introduction part (15) of the cam (14) facing the lower surface of the tension string (13) 12) Rotate. This rotation is a right rotation in the drawing. When the spiral curve forming direction from the fixed portion (10) at the upper end of the cam (14) to the introduction portion (15) is the right direction, the rotation of the fan (12) needs to be also the right direction. If the rotation is counterclockwise, the tension string (13) becomes entangled with the cam (14), which is not preferable. Therefore, when the spiral curve forming direction from the fixed portion of the cam (14) toward the introduction portion (15) is the left direction, the fan (12) needs to be rotated counterclockwise.

Next, as the fan (12) continues to rotate, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the push-up portion (16) continuing to the introduction portion (15) pulls up the tension string (13) and simultaneously lifts the lid (6). Then, the opening (4) is opened to start perfume. Further, by continuing the rotation of the fan (12), the tension string (13) comes into contact with the apex of the push-up portion (16) as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and the lifting amount of the lid (6) is maximized. Become. Next, the cam (14) is rotated by the rotation of the fan (12), and the tension string (13) comes into contact with the release portion (17) as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and this release portion (17) is the fan. (12) A spiral curve is formed so as to release the contact with the tension string (13). Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the cam (14) releases the contact with the tension string (13) and releases the lid (6). The lid (6) descends by its own weight, shields the opening (4), and stops fragrance. After this, if the rotation of the fan (12) is continued, the lid (6) repeats opening and closing of the opening (4) by the above action. Further, when the rotation of the fan (12) stops when the push-up portion (16) contacts the tension string (13), the lid (6) may remain open, but the fan (12) By giving the lid (6) a weight sufficient to reverse the fan (12) while the rotation of the fan (12) is stopped, the lid (6) is moved through the tension string (13) when the fan (12) is stopped. Thus, the fan (12) can be reversed to prevent the cover (6) from being left open. Further, when the push-up portion is in contact with the tension string (13), it is possible to control using the sensor so that the rotation of the fan (12) does not stop.
