Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention provides a deodorizer structure in which a fan rotated by a motor is arranged near a deodorizer cartridge filled with a volatile deodorizer. Regarding the improvement of

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Indoor deodorizers that use volatile deodorizers have been commercially available. An example of this type of deodorizer is shown in FIG. A deodorizer cartridge 2 is removably housed in a synthetic resin case 1 having ventilation holes (not shown). The deodorizer cartridge 2 is filled with a volatile deodorizer 3.

A fan 5 driven by a motor 4 is mounted so as to face the opening of the deodorizer cartridge 2. Note that 6 and 7 indicate batteries, which are provided to drive the motor 4 in rotation.

In the deodorizer shown in FIG. 3, indoor air is circulated into the case 1 by a fan 5 being rotationally driven by a motor 4, whereby malodor-producing components in the air are decomposed and removed by a deodorizer 3. be done.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, as the deodorizer shown in FIG. 3 is used, the deodorizer 3 gradually disappears. Therefore,
At the beginning of use and when the deodorizer 3 is about to run out,
The distance between the fan 5 and the surface of the deodorizer 3 varies greatly, making it difficult to always expect a constant deodorizing effect.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a deodorizer as described above that has a novel structure that can always achieve a constant deodorizing effect.

[Means for solving problems]

Also in the deodorizer of the present invention, a fan and a motor for rotationally driving the fan are installed in a case having ventilation holes. Inside the case, one or more deodorizer cartridges are erected with their openings facing upward. The deodorizer cartridge is filled with a volatile deodorizer.

A spring member is disposed between the deodorant cartridge and the bottom wall of the case so as to bias the deodorant cartridge upward. This spring member is compressed by the weight of the deodorizer cartridge and the deodorant when it is filled with deodorant, and as the deodorizer in the deodorant cartridge disappears, its biasing force causes the cartridge to rise. The spring constant is such that the height of the deodorant surface can be maintained constant.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the spring member is compressed by the weight of the deodorizer cartridge filled with the deodorizer.
As it is used, the volatile deodorizer gradually disappears, but since the spring constant of the spring member is selected as described above, the deodorizer cartridge is moved upward by the spring member as its own weight decreases. As a result, the surface of the deodorizer is always maintained at a constant height.

[Effect of idea]

In the present invention, the height of the surface of the deodorant inside the deodorant cartridge, which is urged upward by the spring member, is always maintained constant, so the distance between the fan and the surface of the deodorant is always maintained constant. Therefore, it can always exert a constant deodorizing effect from the time it is used until the deodorizer runs out, making it possible to effectively remove odors from living rooms and toilets, creating a comfortable living space. Become.

[Description of Embodiment] FIGS. 1 and 2 are a front view and a perspective view, respectively, of an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of elongated ventilation holes 11a are formed in a case 11 made of synthetic resin. The ventilation hole 11a is provided to circulate air between the room in which the deodorizer is installed and the inside of the case 11.

The case 11 includes a lid member 11b and a case body 11.
FIG. 1 shows a state with the lid member 11b removed.

A motor 13 is attached to a rib 12 inside the case body 11c. A fan 14 is fixed to the spindle of the motor 13, and the fan 14 is configured to be rotationally driven by the motor 13. Note that 15 and 16 indicate batteries, which are provided to drive the motor 13 in rotation. In this embodiment, there is a battery in the case 11.
5 and 16, but this is not required. That is, the batteries 15 and 16 may be placed outside the case 11, or an AC drive motor may be used as the motor 13, and the fan 14 may be powered using a commercial power source.
may be driven to rotate.

A plurality of deodorizer cartridges 17 to 19 are arranged in the case 11 so as to face the fan 14. Each deodorant cartridge 17 to 19 contains a jelly or liquid volatile deodorizer 20 to
22 is filled.

Various known volatile deodorizers can be used as the deodorizers 20 to 22, but preferably, a neutralizing/decomposing deodorizer that is a combination of a plant extract and an enzyme can be used. By using such a neutralizing/decomposing deodorizing agent, it is possible to immediately capture and decompose malodor-producing components such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, or trimethylamine in the air through the action of enzymes, and it is also highly durable. This allows it to continuously break down the sources of these bad odors, and does not remove components that do not need to be removed, such as perfumes.
Only the bad odor that you want to remove can be selectively removed.

In addition, those using the above-mentioned plant extracts,
It should be pointed out that since the main ingredient is an extract extracted from plants, there is no need to worry about contaminating the room where the deodorizer is installed.

By the way, deodorant cartridges 17 to 19 are
It is arranged so that the upper openings 17a to 19a face upward, that is, facing downward at a predetermined distance from the attached fan 14. Furthermore, annular projections 17b to 19b are integrally formed at the bottoms of the deodorant cartridges 17 to 19. The annular projections 17b to 19b are provided for positioning spring members 23 to 25, which will be described later.

The spring members 23 to 25 are connected to the deodorizer cartridge 1
7 to 19 annular protrusions 17b to 19b and case 1
1, and urges the deodorant cartridges 17 to 19 upward.

In the present invention, the spring members 23 to 25 are the deodorizer 2
0 to 22 are filled in each cartridge 17 to 19 (the deodorizer 20 in the cartridge 17 in FIG. 1 shows this state), the deodorizer cartridge and the deodorizer are compressed by their own weight, and deodorizes as they are used. It is selected to have a spring constant that allows the cartridges 17-19 to rise when the agents 20-22 disappear and the weight of the deodorant decreases, thereby keeping the height of the surface of the deodorizers 20-22 constant.

Therefore, the distance between the fan 14 and the surfaces of the deodorizers 20 to 22 is always maintained constant from the beginning of use until the deodorant disappears, so that a constant deodorizing effect can always be exerted.

As is clear from FIG. 1, in this embodiment, a plurality of deodorant cartridges 17 to 19 are provided, so that it happens that the deodorant 20 in one cartridge 17 disappears as shown in the figure. Even if the deodorizer 21, 22 remains in the remaining cartridges 18, 19 in a sufficient amount, even if you forget to replace the deodorizer, the odor can be effectively removed for a long period of time. Can be removed.

However, in the present invention, it is also possible to arrange only one deodorant cartridge in the case 11, thereby reducing the overall size.

Further, in the above embodiment, the fan 14 is attached downward so as to face the openings 17a to 19a of the deodorant cartridges 17 to 19, but it may be attached in another direction.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a deodorant cartridge 17-1.
9 and the deodorizers 20 to 22, the cartridges 17 to 19 need to be placed upright, but they do not necessarily have to be placed vertically, but may be placed diagonally. Good too.
