Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an air freshener cartridge built into an air purifying device.

<Conventional technology and its problems> Conventionally, air purifying devices have a built-in fragrance cartridge containing fragrance, and by passing air from a fan through a filter such as a charged filter or activated carbon filter, the air purifier removes the substances contained in the air. In addition to removing dust and bad odors, there are devices that emit clean air and fragrances in the airflow of a fan.

In order to obtain different fragrances, the fragrance cartridge used in this type of air purifying device needs to change the amount of fragrance stored depending on the purifying capacity of the air purifying device, that is, the floor area to which it is applied. Therefore, a plurality of types of fragrance cartridges are required depending on the model of the air purifying device, which increases the cost and also makes manufacturing management, sales management, etc. complicated.

The present invention was made to solve such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an air freshener cartridge for an air purifier that can be used in multiple types of air purifiers with one air freshener cartridge. It is said that

Means for Solving the Problems〉 The air freshener cartridge of the air purifying device of the present invention has a plurality of small chambers each having an open top surface, and each small chamber stores a fragrance. The feature is that each compartment is covered with an unsealable covering material.

Preferably, the covering material consists of a single sheet or film with perforations at the boundaries between adjacent cells.

Effect> According to the air freshener cartridge for an air purifying device having the above configuration, it has a plurality of small chambers, and the upper surface of each small chamber is covered with a covering material that can be opened for each small chamber, so that the air freshener cartridge for an air purifying device has Depending on the situation, it is possible to unseal only some of the compartments and use the coverings of other compartments with them closed. Therefore, even if an air freshener cartridge stores a large amount of fragrance, it is possible to emit the amount of fragrance suitable for each model, not only for air purifiers with a large purification capacity but also for air purifiers with a small purification capacity. One air freshener cartridge can be used in multiple types of air purifying devices.

In addition, if the covering material is made of a single sheet or film with perforations at the boundaries between adjacent compartments, the compartments can be easily sealed, and the covering material can be opened more easily. be able to.

<Examples> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings showing examples.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fragrance cartridge 1 for an air purifying device showing one embodiment of the present invention.

This air freshener cartridge 1 has a plurality of rectangular parallelepiped-shaped small chambers 3 (eight in this example) with open tops, which are connected in the longitudinal direction with the open surfaces facing upward and their long sides adjacent to each other. Inside each small chamber 3, a fragrance (not shown) is stored.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper surface (open surface) of each small chamber 3 is entirely covered with a single covering material 4 and sealed. There are five perforations in the covering material 4 at the portions corresponding to the boundaries between the small chambers 3. The perforation 5 is a cut for opening a predetermined small chamber 3, and is for facilitating this opening.

The covering material 4 may be made of, for example, a brass film or a plastic sheet, and is not limited to being transparent or opaque as long as it has a thickness that does not allow the perfume to escape to the outside.

Further, near the perforation 5 of the covering material 4, a mark 6 indicating the number of openings of the small chamber 3 according to the model of the air purifying device is attached.

Examples of the fragrance to be stored in the small chamber 3 include felt impregnated with a fragrance and a paste-like fragrance.

According to the air freshener cartridge for an air purifying device having such a configuration, the covering material 4 of a predetermined number of small chambers 3 is coated using the perforation 5 using the mark 6 as a guide, depending on the model of the air purifying device. When opened, an appropriate amount of fragrance can be released depending on the air purifying device. Therefore, one fragrance cartridge 1 can be used in multiple types of air purifying devices.

Therefore, the fragrance cartridge can be mass-produced, and manufacturing costs can be reduced. Furthermore, manufacturing management, sales management, etc. become easier.

In addition, if the aroma effect fades after a certain period of time (for example, about 3 months) after using the air purifier, for example,
If it is an air purifier that releases an appropriate amount of fragrance when one small chamber 3 is opened, two more small chambers 3 may be opened, and then another two small chambers 3 may be opened at the next replacement time, and so on. By opening the small chamber 3, the desired fragrance effect can be obtained, so there is no need to frequently replace the fragrance cartridge.

At this time, for example, model A...1, model B...2,
Mark 6 indicating the number of openings of small room 3 such as model C...3
If it is written on the covering material 4, even if you forget the number to open, you can clearly see the number of opened packages, which is convenient.

In addition, although the above embodiment has been described with respect to a case having eight small chambers, the number of small chambers is not limited to eight, and even if it is seven or less,
It may be 9 or more.

Further, in the above embodiment, the covering material 4 is made of one sheet or film that covers the entire upper surface of each small chamber 3, but the covering material 4 may be provided for each small chamber 3.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the air freshener cartridge for air purifying devices of the present invention can be applied and used in multiple types of air purifying devices with different purifying abilities, so the aroma The manufacturing cost of the drug cartridge is reduced, and manufacturing management, sales management, etc. are also facilitated.
