Description

  The present invention relates to a transpiration apparatus for transpiring transpiration agents such as fragrances.

  Conventionally, a fragrance device as a transpiration device is known as a transpiration device (for example, Patent Document 1).

  The device body of the fragrance device has an insertion port on the upper surface, and the casing of the device body is provided with a partition wall that divides the interior into left and right parts. The partition wall includes an electric heater plate, and the electric heater plate is configured to be heated by a power source supplied from an outlet plug.

  On both side portions of the partition wall, mounting portions for mounting cartridges are provided, and the mounted cartridges are configured such that the bottom surface of the tray is in contact with the partition plate.

  Thus, the cartridge is configured to receive heat from the electric heater plate from its bottom surface and heat the stored aromatic liquid so that the heated aromatic liquid can be evaporated from the evaporation surface that closes the tray. ing.

At this time, it is configured so that aromatic liquids of two different scents can be evaporated by attaching cartridges containing different aromatic liquids to the respective mounting portions formed on both sides of the partition wall.

  However, in such a conventional fragrance, since the insertion port for mounting the cartridge is open on the upper surface of the apparatus main body, it is easy for dust to enter from the insertion port.

  When this dust adheres to the heater, there is a concern about a decrease in transpiration efficiency due to a decrease in heat transfer efficiency.

  This invention is made | formed in view of such a conventional subject, and it aims at providing the transpiration apparatus which can prevent the fall of the transpiration | evaporation efficiency resulting from the approach of dust.

In order to solve the above problems, in the transpiration apparatus of the present invention, the transpiration agent in the cartridge is heated in contact with the cartridge in a state where the cartridge is inserted and attached from the insertion portion provided in the apparatus main body. In a transpiration apparatus provided with a heating unit for transpiration, with the apparatus main body arranged in a use state, from the laterally open state in which the insertion part is opened in the lateral direction to the downwardly opened state in which the open part is opened in the downward direction Is a transpiration device in which the opening direction of the insertion portion is set within the range of the outlet power supply type that operates by receiving power when the outlet plug extending from the device main body is inserted into the outlet provided on the wall surface. Yes, in a state of use in which the outlet plug is inserted into the outlet on the wall surface, the insertion portion is opened so as to open sideways. It sets the opening direction of the insertion portion, while opening a release unit for releasing transpiration agent transpired from the cartridge front surface only of the apparatus main body, the outer peripheral portion of the outer peripheral portion of the front surface to protrude forward from the front surface The discharge part is disposed on the flat front surface which is further retracted, and the discharge part is set at a position away from the outer peripheral part located below the discharge part .

  In other words, the opening direction of the cartridge insertion portion provided in the apparatus main body is set within a range from the laterally open state facing in the lateral direction to the downwardly opened state facing downward.

  For this reason, the dust that has risen and dropped is accumulated on the upper surface of the main body of the apparatus, and is prevented from entering the inside from the insertion portion.

Moreover , the entrance of dust from the discharge part that discharges the transpiration agent is also prevented.

Furthermore , this transpiration apparatus is an outlet power supply type that operates by receiving power from an outlet, and in use, an outlet plug extending from the apparatus main body is inserted into an outlet provided on a wall surface.

  For this reason, the said apparatus main body is arrange | positioned along a wall surface in use condition. In addition, when the outlet plug is inserted into a wall outlet, the opening direction of the insertion port is determined based on the outlet plug.

Moreover, in this transpiration apparatus, the said insertion part opens toward the horizontal direction in the use condition which inserts the said outlet plug in the said outlet socket of a wall surface and uses it.

  For this reason, compared with the case where the insertion portion opens downward, the cartridge inserted into the insertion portion can be prevented from being accidentally detached without providing a structure for preventing the cartridge from dropping. .

  In the transpiration apparatus of the present invention, the opening direction of the cartridge insertion portion provided in the apparatus main body is set within a range from a laterally open state in which the lateral direction is directed to a downwardly opened state in which it is directed downward. The dust that has risen and dropped is accumulated on the upper surface of the apparatus main body.

  For this reason, the structure in which the insertion portion for inserting the cartridge opens upward can solve the problem that dust that has risen and dropped enters from the insertion portion and accumulates in the heating portion. Thus, it is possible to prevent the heating efficiency of the cartridge from being lowered.

  Thereby, the fall of the transpiration efficiency resulting from the approach of dust can be prevented.

Furthermore, it is possible by providing a release unit for releasing transpiration agent transpired from the previous SL cartridge on the front surface of the apparatus body, also it prevents malfunction due to dust entering from the release portion.

Further, an outlet feed type that operates by receiving power supply from the outlet, in use, outlet plug extending from the device main body is inserted into an outlet provided on a wall surface.

  For this reason, in use, the apparatus main body can be arranged along the wall surface, and an installation space on the table or the like becomes unnecessary as compared with a stationary type that is placed on the table or the like.

  And in the state which inserted the said outlet plug into the wall socket, the opening direction of the said insertion port can be defined based on the said outlet plug.

  For this reason, it is possible to direct the opening direction of the insertion port in the direction of the design only by inserting the outlet plug into the outlet of the wall surface, and it is possible to reliably prevent the upward opening.

Furthermore, in the use state of use by inserting the pre-Symbol outlet plug to the wall outlet can be opened toward the insertion portion in the transverse direction.

  Therefore, compared to the case where the insertion portion opens downward, the cartridge inserted into the insertion portion is not provided with a special structure for preventing the cartridge from being accidentally detached. Can do.
