Description

  The present invention contains a smoke generator having a smoke agent mainly composed of an active ingredient such as an insecticidal component or a bactericidal component and a heat generating member that generates heat, and smoke is generated from the smoke agent by the heat generated by the heat generating member. The present invention relates to a soot agent container for releasing odor.

  Conventionally, water is put into a smoke agent container, and a heat generating member made of a heat generating material such as calcium oxide that generates heat in contact with water is brought into contact with water in the container, and smoke is generated by hydration reaction heat of the heat generating member. Smoke generators (smoke generators) that heat the agent and emit volatile substances in the smoke agent as smoke are widely used.

  As described in Patent Document 1, generally used smoke generators and smoke agent containers are used in homes, vehicles for the control of sanitary pests such as flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and mold bacteria. Among them, the space in the workplace is treated with smoke emitted from the smoke agent.

  When a smoke generator is attached to a smoke agent container to generate smoke, place it in a place where you want to control it from insects or molds or on the floor in the room with water in the container. The smoke generator is quickly installed in the interior, and the smoke is released from the heated smoke agent by the heat of hydration reaction of the exothermic member generated thereafter.

  In order to prevent the smoke generating body whose temperature has risen when the container falls, when the smoke generating body as in Patent Document 1 is put in the container, Put a ring-shaped lid on the center of the smoke agent container from above. This structure emits smoke from the opening in the center of the ring-shaped lid.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a substantially prismatic water container in which a soot agent container is provided with an upper lid. Since this water container has a square cross section, it is easy to put a finger into the corner of the container, and it is easy to attach a smoke generating device to the main body. In addition, the smoke generating device is mounted on a pedestal protruding from the bottom surface of the water container.

  In patent document 2, when the water container falls down accidentally, the smoke generator of the main body is prevented from being moved out by a rib provided on the upper lid.

  However, in the conventional techniques such as Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, when the container falls, the container opening is covered or a rib is provided on the upper cover so that the smoke generating body (smoke generating device) does not fall out. However, there is a concern that forgetting to put on the lid because it requires a short operation until smoke is generated (water is poured into the container and the lid is immediately fitted after setting the smoke generator). In addition, reduction of the number of components of the container and lid is also required from the viewpoint of cost reduction.

  In relation to the heat generating member, Patent Document 3 discloses a support device for supporting the heat generating member storage container. This supporting device is configured to be held in the heat generating member storage container by a holding member having a notch groove in order to prevent the occurrence of damage when the heat generating member storage container having a high temperature is directly installed in the room.

  However, this holding member is made of a heat-resistant material and has a different structure from the water container, and there are problems in that the cost and cost increase due to increased material costs and processes.

  On the other hand, although it is a storage container other than a water container, Patent Document 4 discloses a transport container to be mounted when a work such as an electronic component is transported to a processing step. This transport container is capable of processing and automatic transport in a state where a large number of workpieces are accommodated. In this transport container, the bottom is open, and there is a step in the rib having a tapered surface provided on the inner surface of the side wall, and the workpiece is held by the step.

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 4, a container without a bottom, not a bottomed container, is not considered to fix a work, and cannot cope with a case where the container falls down.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of a smoke agent container according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the smoke agent container 10 according to the first embodiment is a bottomed cylindrical container that houses a smoke generator 12 having a smoke agent 14 and a heat generating member 16. The smoke agent container 10 is configured to generate smoke from the smoke agent 14 by the heat of the heating member 16 in contact with the water in the smoke agent container 10.

[Smoke generator 12]
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the soot generation body 12 is a substantially cylindrical body in which a hole 12c through which soot (smoke agent vapor) passes is formed on the upper surface.

  As shown in a cross-sectional view in FIG. 1 (d), the smoke generating body 12 includes a container-shaped inner housing portion 12a whose inner lower end is closed, and an outer wall portion that surrounds the inner housing portion 12a in a cylindrical shape. 12b, the smoke agent 14 is accommodated in the inner accommodating portion 12a, and the heat generating member 16 is accommodated in the bottom portion (12b3) of the outer wall portion 12b so as to face the bottom portion of the inner accommodating portion 12a. .

  The upper surface portion 12b1 of the outer wall portion 12b is formed with a plurality of radially-shaped elongated hole-shaped holes 12c penetrating in a top view. The peripheral edge portion 12b2 continuing from the substantially flat upper surface portion 12b1 has a closed double structure on the upper side, and the upper surface portion 12b1 is continuously connected to the inner wall where the peripheral edge portion 12b2 rises. And the outer side wall of the peripheral part 12b2 faces downward, and forms the bottom part 12b3 by a lower end. This bottom portion 12b3 is so that when the smoke generator 12 is placed in the smoke agent container 10, the heat generating member 16 can come into contact with water so that water can enter and penetrate the outer wall portion. As a water flow structure such as a hole, a mesh, or a fiber body, heat is transmitted to the smoke smoke agent 14 through the heat transfer portion (the bottom portion 12b3 of the inner housing portion 12a), and smoke is generated.

  In the smoke generating body 12, the heat generating member 16 is installed on the bottom 12b3. The heating member 16 is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound that generates heat by reaction with water, and examples thereof include potassium oxide, magnesium chloride, aluminum chloride, calcium chloride, and iron chloride. For example, calcium oxide is preferable.

  The inner accommodating portion 12a has a bottom portion 12a2 (heat transfer portion) on a spherical side surface, and an upper end 12a1 is opened to form a container shape. The upper end 12a1 is fixed to the lower surface of the upper surface portion 12b1 (of the outer housing portion 12b) by adhesion, welding, or the like.

  A smoke agent 14 is accommodated in the inner storage portion 12a. As the smoke agent 14, smoke agents generally used for controlling sanitary pests, molds, germs and the like can be used, and examples thereof include solid preparations mainly composed of a combustion base and an active ingredient. In addition, various components including the above can be used for the smoke agent 14 and the heat generating member 16. For example, components described in JP-A-2014-181188 can be used.

  In addition, the smoke generating body 12 has a cylindrical shape as a whole, but can have various outer diameter shapes.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the smoke agent container 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape with substantially the same thickness extending so as to accommodate the smoke generator 12 in the height direction, as shown in FIG. The smoke agent container 10 has a rectangular shape and a rectangular shape with rounded corners when viewed from above, with the upper end spreading in a bowl shape for easy gripping.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer surface of the bottom portion 10 a of the smoke agent container 10 is arranged on the outer periphery of the bottom portion 10 a so that the bottom surface of the bottom portion 10 a does not generally contact the installation surface (such as an indoor floor surface). A pedestal 18 protruding downward in a wall shape is provided along the wall. The pedestal 18 has a wall shape, but may be continuous or discontinuous. 2 and 3, the installation position of the smoke generator 12 is indicated by an imaginary line (two-dot chain line).

  Further, the inner surface of the bottom portion 10a of the smoke agent container 10 forms a reduced diameter portion 20 capable of specifying the arrangement of the smoke generator 12 from the bottom portion 10a toward the opening direction (upward) of the smoke agent container 10. To do. The diameter-reduced portion 20 is a portion that is thinner than the thickness of the upper and middle portions of the smoke agent container 10, and is thinned in a step shape from the middle portion and extends downward in a cylindrical shape to constitute the pedestal 18.

  Note that a substantially bank-shaped support rib 22 that protrudes and supports the smoke generator 12 from the upper surface of the bottom 10a when the smoke generator 12 is attached to the smoke agent container 10 protrudes from the inner upper surface of the bottom 10a. I am letting. The support rib 22 forms a gap between the bottom surface of the smoke generator 12 and the inner surface of the bottom 10 a, and water sufficiently flows from the gap to the bottom surface of the smoke generator 12, so that water is supplied to the heating member 16. Has the effect of allowing sufficient heat generation.

  A plurality of convex portions 24 are provided from the reduced diameter portion 20 toward the opening direction so as to sandwich the bottom portion of the smoke generating body 12 and prevent the smoke generating body 12 from moving out. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the convex portions 24 are formed so as to protrude in the bottom portion 10 a at four locations at 90 ° intervals in the circumferential direction. The convex portion 24 has a band-like width and has a shape. The outer surface of the bottom portion 10a is recessed, and the convex portion 24 is formed so as to protrude inward by that amount. If the four convex portions 24 are used, the smoke generating body 12 can be sandwiched in a relatively wide area from four sides, and the holding is stable. However, the convex portions 24 may be formed at three or five or more locations. Of course, it is within the scope of the present invention. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the convex part 24 has an arcuate shape in which the upper part bulges outward, and the lower part extends downward from the central part.

  The height of the reduced diameter portion 20 is preferably set to a height at which a sufficient amount of moisture can be measured to supply the heat generating member 16.

The smoke agent container 10 has a substantially quadrangular cross section when viewed from the opening direction. This quadrangle is formed so that a finger can be easily inserted from the corner and the smoke generating body 12 can be easily handled.
The material of the soot agent container 10 and the soot generator 12 is made of resin, and is particularly preferably a material that can withstand the heat generation of the heat generating member 16.

  According to the smoke agent container 10 of the embodiment, the pedestal 18 is provided on the outer surface of the bottom part 10a of the smoke agent container 10 so that the bottom part 10a does not contact the installation surface, and the inner surface of the bottom part 10a is open from the bottom part 10a. Therefore, the reduced-diameter portion 20 capable of specifying the arrangement of the smoke generator 12 (the heat generating member 16) is formed, so that the smoke generator 12 can be easily introduced and fixed without being mistaken.

  Moreover, since the support rib 22 which floats and supports the smoke generating body 12 (the heat generating member 16 accommodated therein) from the bottom surface is projected on the bottom portion 10a, the heat generating member 16 of the smoke generating body 12 and the bottom portion 10a There is a gap for water to flow between them, and water can be supplied smoothly.

  Since the smoke generating body 12 (the heat generating member 16 accommodated therein) is sandwiched from the reduced diameter portion 20 toward the opening direction, the plurality of convex portions 24 that can prevent the soot from moving out are provided. The smoke generating body 12 (heat generating member 16) can be fixed by the convex part 24 only by mounting 12, and the smoke generating body 12 and the smoke agent container 10 can be separated at the time of disposal. Moreover, when the smoke agent container 10 falls, the smoke generator 12 is sandwiched between the convex portions 24 of the smoke agent container 10, so that the heating member 16 can be prevented from moving out even if the container falls.

  In addition, since the height of the reduced diameter portion 20 is set to a height at which the amount of moisture supplied to the heat generating member 16 can be measured, an appropriate amount of water can be easily added.

  Further, if the smoke agent container 10 has a quadrangular cross section when viewed from the opening direction, it is possible to form a gap for inserting a finger when loading the smoke generator 12 on a diagonal line, It is possible to obtain excellent effects such as attachment and removal of the smoke generator 12.
