Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial field of application" The present invention relates to an aroma generating device linked to a door.

"Prior art" There are experiments that the number of errors in the key puncher decreased and the number of strokes increased by flowing the scent to the office. In addition, when the efficiency of the conference was compared when the scent of lemon was and was not given during the conference, there is an experimental result that the case where the scent is emitted is better. This point can be confirmed from the fact that scent has been proved to have a positive effect on human physiology and psychology by measuring brain waves. Here, the physiological effect is, for example, a point that contributes to mental refreshment, sedation, anxiety relief, drowsiness, and mental enhancement.

As a method for utilizing such a fragrance, conventionally, a method in which an air freshener is placed in the room, or an air freshener can be set at the air outlet of an indoor unit of an air conditioner is generally used. There is a device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-186744 as a fragrance container to be inserted in the output pipe of an air compressor, and it has an effect of improving the working environment in which the air compressor is used. Further, as an aroma generating device that emits aroma by power, there is a device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 63-8039.

The human sense of smell causes a phenomenon of getting used to the scent. The habituation phenomenon means that if you continuously smell the same scent with almost the same strength, you will no longer respond to that odor and you will lose amenity (comfort).
Of course, in the case of a strong scent, the accustomed phenomenon is small, but on the contrary, the comfort is small, and when it is too strong, it becomes uncomfortable. With a pleasant and moderate scent, the phenomenon of habituation easily occurs.

Conventionally, in offices, shops, etc., if the fragrance is placed in a certain position in the room to maintain comfort, or if the fragrance is set at the air outlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the scent that is resident is always pleasant. A faint one is better. However, for those who enter and leave the room temporarily, a slightly faint scent often has insufficient physiological and psychological effects. Actual exploitation 56
The device described in -152385 is equipped with an aroma generating device that works with a door.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, according to the device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-152385, the fragrance generating device is activated for both the visitors and the exiters, and the perfume is discharged in vain. There is.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides an aroma generating device linked to a door that allows both a resident and a visitor to enjoy a comfortable scent and does not operate depending on the person who leaves the room. That is the purpose.

"Means for solving the problem" This device avoids the habit of accustoming to the scent and secures the amenity of the moment for the visitor, because the scent intermittently causes the intensity of the scent for the resident. The present invention provides an aroma generating device that generates a scent in conjunction with opening and closing of a door. This invention is such that an air supply device is connected to an inlet of the air supplying device, and an air freshener is housed inside and sealed.

5. The fragrance generator B is composed of the wiring.

When the control device 18 receives a signal indicating that the foot mat switch 6 is closed, the control device 18 closes a switch interposed in the wiring between the power supply and the air supply device 11 and the solenoid valve 16 to energize the air supply device 11, and When the valve 16 is opened, at the same time, a timed relay or an IC timer provided inside is energized to turn off the air supply device 11 and the solenoid valve 16 after the settling time, deactivate the air supply device 11 and electromagnetically The valve 16 is closed. Alternatively, the solenoid valve 16 may be opened by the air supply device 1
In consideration of the rising of 1, the bias is applied later than the air supply device 11. Since the control device 18 is of a type in which the aroma generating device B is attached to the automatic door device A, it is separately provided, but it goes without saying that the control devices 5 and 18 may be integrated. There is no place.

In the automatic door opening / closing device 4, compressed air from a pneumatic pressure source 21 is supplied to a pneumatic cylinder 23 via a spring offset type solenoid valve 22 as shown in FIG. Is connected to the automatic door 3 directly or through a link mechanism.

The operation of the above configuration is as follows using the operation explanatory view of FIG. When a person MO who comes from the outside and tries to enter the room opens the foot mat switch 6 on the outside,
In the control device 5, the switch 6 is closed and the control device 5
The relay coil X1 of 1 is energized so that the normally open contact X1-1 is closed and at the same time, the normally closed contact X1-2 is opened. Therefore, the timer T1 does not operate and its normally closed contact T1-1 remains closed. As a result, the electromagnetic switching period MC1 operates, its normally open contact MC1-2 is closed and self-held, and the switch MC1-1 is closed. The coil MV1 of the solenoid valve 22 for the automatic door 3 is energized and switched, the compressed air of the air pressure source 21 is fed to the cylinder chamber on the right side of FIG. 2, and the pneumatic cylinder 23 is left on the left side of FIG. Then, the automatic door 3 is opened, and at the same time, the signal of the outside foot mat switch 6 is sent to the control device 18 (the control device 18 shares the relay coil X1 of the control device 5, but separately). You can also put it)
Close the normally open contacts X1-3. The timer T2 is actuated by this, simultaneously energizing the electromagnetic switch MC2, closing its switch MC2-1, energizing the motor M of the air supply device 11 and the coil MV2 of the spring offset type electromagnetic valve 16. , Air is supplied from the air supply device 11, and at the same time, the solenoid valve 16 is opened. As a result, the air sent from the air supply device 11 through the pipe 14 is given a scent by the fragrance 12 when passing through the fragrance container 13, and passes through the pipe 15 and the opened solenoid valve 16 to pass the scent. Scented air is sprayed from the spray pipe 17 to the indoor side of the opening 2 of the automatic door 3. Therefore, the person M who has passed through the opening 2
O smells the scent, which gives a pleasant sensation. This scent is instantaneous but somewhat strong, so it is stimulating to visitors and effective as amenity. However, if it is continued, a habituation phenomenon will occur.

The scent emitted from the scent spray tube 17 for a limited time diffuses into the room,
I will just let it be indoors. Therefore, even a person who is resident in the room can obtain a comfortable sensation by changing the intensity of the scent.

The timer T2 is set to a short time, for example, a few seconds, and when the settling time comes, the timer T2 opens the normally closed contacts T2-1 and T2-2. This deactivates the electromagnetic switch MC2 and opens its switch MC2-1. However, the motor M of the air supply device 11 is stopped and the coil MV2 of the solenoid valve 16 is stopped.
Is deenergized and the solenoid valve 16 is closed, so that the scent does not come out of the scent spray tube 17.

When the person MO passes through the opening 2, the outside foot mat switch 6 is changed to an indoor foot mat switch 7. Then, the foot mat switch 6 is opened, the relay coil X1 is deenergized, and the relay coil X2 is energized, so that the normally open contact X1-1 is opened and X2-1 is closed, so the electromagnetic switch MC1 is closed. It remains open and the automatic door 3 remains open. Further, since the normally closed contact X2-2 is opened together with the normally open contact X1-2 being closed, the timer T1 is not operated. The fragrance generator B is inoperative when the person MO blows the foot mat switch on the inner side, and when the person MO leaves the foot mat switch 7 into the room,
The foot mat switch 7 is opened and the relay coil X2 is opened.
Is deenergized, its normally open contact X2-1 is opened and normally closed contact X2-2 is closed, so timer T1 starts its timed operation,
After the settling time limit, its normally closed contact T1-1 opens and the electromagnetic switch MC
1, the switch MC1-1 and its normally open contact MC1-2 are opened, the self-holding is released, the solenoid valve 22 is restored, and the compressed air of the air pressure source 21 is the pneumatic cylinder in FIG. 23
Is fed to the cylinder chamber on the left side, the piston moves to the right, and the automatic door 3 is closed.

When the person MI goes out from the room side and the person MI opens the foot mat switch 7 on the room side, the switch 7 is closed, the relay coil X2 is energized, and the normally closed contact X2-1 is closed. Normally open contact X2-2 opens. As a result, the timer T1 is deactivated, the electromagnetic switch MC1 is energized, its normally open contact MC1-2 is closed and self-held, and its switch M1 is closed.
C1-1 is closed, the coil MV1 of the solenoid valve 22 is energized,
When the person MI passes through the opening 2 and leaves the foot mat switch 7 on the inner side and closes the foot mat switch 6 on the outer side, the foot mat switch 7 on the inner side opens and the door 3 on the outer side opens. The foot mat switch 6 is closed, the relay coil X2 is de-energized, the normally open contact X2-1 is opened, the relay coil X1 is energized and the normally open contact X1-1 is closed, and the solenoid valve 22 is opened. The coil MV1 of is kept energized, and the normally closed contact X2-2 opens and the normally closed contact
X1-2 is closed and timer T1 is inactive. When the person MI leaves the foot mat switch 6 to the outside, the switch 6 is opened, the relay coil X1 is deenergized, the normally open contact X1-1 is opened, and the normally closed contact X1-2 is closed. And timer T1
Starts the timed operation and opens the normally closed contact T1-1 after the settling time limit. The electromagnetic switch MC1 has its switch MC1-1 and normally open contact M.
C1-2 is opened to release self-holding, the solenoid valve 22 of the automatic door opening / closing machine 4 is returned, and the automatic door 3 is closed.

It should be noted that a circuit is incorporated in the control device 18 so that the aroma generating device B does not operate when the foot mat switch 6 on the external side is opened when the person MI passes from the indoor side to the external side. That is, when the person MI blows the foot mat switch 7 on the inner side, the normally open contact X2-3 is closed, the relay coil X3 is urged to close the normally open contact X3-1, and the timer T3 is closed. Operate. As a result, the normally open contact X3-1 provided in the energizing circuit for the electromagnetic switch MC2 of the control device 18 is opened to deactivate the aroma generating device 18 for a while. Then, when the settling time of the timer T3 comes, the normally closed contact T3-1 opens and the relay coil X
3 is deenergized and self-holding is released and its normally closed contact X3
-1 is closed and the aroma generator B is ready for the next operation.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the control device 18 controls an AV device C such as a music box, a loudspeaker, and a radio at the same time as the fragrance generating device B, and provides a visitor with music, a message and the like at the same time as the scent.

In the embodiment, the sliding door type automatic door device is described, but it goes without saying that it is also applicable to an automatic swing type opening door. It can also be applied to manual doors that are not automatic. In this case, a detector for detecting a visitor on the outside and a detector for detecting the opening of the door are provided, and the aroma generating device is activated in a timed manner by receiving signals from both detectors.

[Effect of device]

In this device, the door and aroma generator are interlocked with each other, and the aroma generator is not activated depending on the exiting person. Therefore, the aromatic substance is not discharged unnecessarily. Since it operates only once, there is an effect that the fragrance can be saved, and the operation cost can be saved for the fragrance generation.
