Description

  The present invention relates to a volatilization device for volatilizing a chemical solution containing, for example, an aroma component and a deodorant component.

  Volatilization equipment for volatilizing chemicals containing fragrance and deodorant components is shipped in a sealed container containing chemicals to prevent the inconvenience of chemicals starting to volatilize when not in use. . And when starting use of a volatilization apparatus, a user opens a container and a liquid absorbing member is immersed in a chemical | medical solution partially. Thereby, a chemical | medical solution is sucked up through a liquid absorption member, and volatilization is started.

  If an example is given, a volatilization apparatus has the shielding member which block | closes the container which accommodated the chemical | medical solution, and the opening of a container. The shielding member is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is attached to the opening of the container in a state where the bottom is immersed in the chemical solution. A pushing member is inserted into the shielding member. The pushing member has a protrusion for breaking through the bottom of the shielding member at the tip thereof. The pushing member holds the liquid absorbing member, and has a hole at the tip for allowing the chemical liquid to permeate the liquid absorbing member.

  When using this volatilization device, the user pushes the pushing member holding the liquid absorbing member into the shielding member to destroy the bottom of the shielding member. Thereby, a chemical | medical solution flows in into the inside of a shielding member, and a chemical | medical solution penetrates into a liquid absorption member through the hole of a pushing member. The chemical liquid is sucked up and volatilized by the liquid absorbing member.

The volatilization apparatus 10 includes a container 2 (FIG. 2), an inner plug 4 (FIGS. 3 and 4), a liquid absorbing member 6 (FIG. 5), a pushing member 8 (FIG. 6), and a cover 9 (FIG. 1). The container 2, the inner stopper 4, the pushing member 8, and the cover 9 are made of resin, and the liquid absorbing member 6 is made of a nonwoven fabric. The volatilization apparatus 10 is configured by combining these members 2, 4, 6, 8, 9.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the container 2 includes a bottomed substantially cylindrical barrel portion 21 for storing a chemical solution (not shown) containing an aroma component and a deodorant component, and a barrel protruding from the upper portion of the barrel portion 21. A so-called bottle container integrally having a substantially cylindrical neck portion 22 smaller in diameter than the portion 21 and a substantially annular shoulder portion 23 that is continuously inclined slightly upward from the upper end of the body portion 21 toward the lower end of the neck portion 22. It is. The trunk | drum 21 has the external shape which converged the cylinder gently toward the bottom part, and has the shape which flattened the back side. A circular opening 24 is formed inside the upper end 22 a of the neck portion 22, and an annular ridge 25 for fixing the inner plug 4 is integrally projected on the outer periphery of the neck portion 22. The ridges 25 do not necessarily have an annular shape, and may be replaced with, for example, threads.

  On the outer surface side between the upper end of the body portion 21 and the outer periphery of the shoulder portion 23, a substantially annular convex portion (not shown) for fitting a lower end edge 91 of the cover 9 described later and a substantially annular step. A portion 26 is provided. By fitting the lower end edge 91 of the cover 9 to the stepped portion 26 and fitting the cover 9 to the container 2, the outer surface of the volatilization device 10 becomes a smooth surface with no steps as shown in FIG.

The cover 9 is formed in a cylindrical shape having an outer shape that gently converges from the lower end edge 91 toward the upper end opening 92, and has a shape in which the back side is flattened like the body portion 21. Further, the cover 9 has a plurality of volatilization holes 93 on each of the front side and the back side. The shape and size of the volatilization hole 93 can be arbitrarily set.

  FIG. 3 is an external view of the inner plug 4, and FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the inner plug 4 divided into two equal parts along the center line. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inner plug 4 includes a substantially cylindrical tubular body 41, a substantially hemispherical lid body 42 in which the lower end 41 a in the axial direction of the tubular body 41 is closed in a sealed state, and The cylindrical body 41 is integrally provided with an annular folded portion 43 that is continuous with the upper end 41b and folded outward. The cylindrical body 41 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 24 of the container 2, and is inserted through the opening 24 so that the lower end 41 a thereof is positioned in the container 2. For this reason, the lid body 42 is disposed at a position to be immersed in the chemical solution stored in the container 2.

  On the inner surface near the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41, an annular thick portion 44 (see FIG. 4) that slightly bulges inward is provided. The thick part 44 swells gently toward the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41 so as to gradually reduce the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 41. That is, the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 41 is gradually reduced toward the lower end 41 a at the thick portion 44. By providing the thick portion 44, the mechanical strength near the lower end of the cylindrical body 41 is increased. As a result, when the lid 42 is separated from the cylindrical body 41 as will be described later, when a large force is applied near the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41, the cylindrical body 41 is elastically deformed and extends. Problems can be suppressed and separation of the lid 42 can be ensured. Furthermore, the inner diameter of the portion of the cylindrical body 41 that is above the thick portion 44 may be gradually reduced toward the thick portion 44. In this case, the push-in cylinder 81 can be easily inserted into the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4 that is fixed to the container 2 when the volatilization device 10 described later is assembled.

  The lid body 42 is provided integrally with the cylindrical body 41 so as to continue further inside the thick portion 44 of the lower end 41 a of the cylindrical body 41. An annular flange portion 45 is provided on the outer periphery of the lid body 42, and the lid body 42 is connected to the lower end 41 a of the cylindrical body 41 via the flange portion 45. An annular thin portion 46 for separating the lid 42 is provided between the flange portion 45 and the inner surface of the thick portion 44. The thin portion 46 is formed by providing an annular groove from the lower end side of the cylindrical body 41, and is formed thinner than the thickness of the lid body 42. The lid body 42 has a bulging portion 47 that bulges substantially hemispherically downward from the inside of the flange portion 45. Inside the bulging portion 47, a lower end 61a of a suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 described later is inserted and disposed.

  In the present embodiment, the thin portion 46 is formed by providing an annular groove from the lower end side of the tubular body 41 between the flange portion 45 of the lid body 42 and the thick portion 44 of the tubular body 41. The thin portion 46 may be formed by providing an annular groove in the flange portion 45 of the lid 42 from the inside of the body 41. Further, the groove does not necessarily have an annular shape, may be discontinuous, and the depth thereof does not need to be uniform. In any case, it is only necessary that the gap between the flange portion 45 of the lid body 42 and the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41 be sealed in the unused state, and the flange portion 45 is moved by the lower end 81a of the pushing member 8 as described later. Any thin portion 46 having such a structure that can be opened by opening the lid 42 when pressed.

  The folded-back portion 43 has a substantially cylindrical outer shape that is slightly larger than the cylindrical body 41, and is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross-section by folding the upper end 41b of the cylindrical body 41 outward by 180 °. On the inner surface 43 a where the folded portion 43 faces the outer surface of the cylindrical body 41, an annular groove-shaped fitting recess 48 is formed to fit the protrusion 25 provided on the neck portion 22 of the container 2 described above. When the ridge 25 is replaced with a screw thread, a thread groove may be provided instead of the fitting recess 48. The inner diameter of the folded portion 43 is substantially the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the neck portion 22 of the container 2. The protrusions 25 of the neck portion 22 and the fitting recesses 48 of the folded portion 43 may be provided in reverse. The outer surface 43b of the folded portion 43 is inclined in a direction that slightly extends outward toward the lower side.

  A gap 49 between the tubular body 41 and the folded portion 43 above the fitting recess 48 has a width that is substantially the same as the thickness of the neck portion 22 of the container 2. Further, the depth of the gap 49 is set to a depth at which the upper end 22 a of the neck portion 22 contacts the inner surface of the turned-up portion 43 in a state where the protrusion 25 is fitted in the fitting recess 48. Therefore, the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4 is inserted through the opening 24 of the container 2, the lid body 42 is disposed in the container 2, and the convex strip 25 of the neck portion 22 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 48 of the folded portion 43. Then, the upper end 22a of the neck portion 22 fits into the gap 49 between the tubular body 41 and the folded portion 43, and the opening 24 is closed and the container is sealed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the liquid absorbing member 6 includes a substantially prismatic sucking portion 61 that is immersed in the chemical solution in the container 2, and a substantially rectangular plate-shaped volatilization portion that is integrally continuous with the upper end 61 b of the sucking portion 61. 62. The liquid absorbing member 6 is formed by shaping a non-woven fabric having a uniform thickness, for example. The lower end 61 a of the sucking portion 61 is chamfered in accordance with the inner surface shape (semispherical shape) of the lid body 42 of the inner plug 4. The shape of the liquid absorbing member 6 can be arbitrarily changed as long as the shape can be held by a pushing member 8 described later. For example, the sucked-up portion 61 and the volatilized portion 62 can be separated from each other, and the thicknesses of both can be made different, as long as they are at least in contact with each other when placed in use.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the pushing member 8 includes a substantially cylindrical pushing cylinder 81 through which the sucked-up portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 is inserted, a housing portion 82 for housing and arranging the volatilized portion 62 of the liquid absorbing member 6, and a shaft. A substantially disc-shaped pressing portion 83 provided at the upper end in the direction is integrally provided. That is, the push-in member 8 holds the liquid-absorbing member 6 by inserting and arranging the sucked-up portion 61 of the liquid-absorbing member 6 in the push-in cylinder 81 and accommodating and disposing the volatilized portion 62 of the liquid-absorbing member 6 in the accommodating portion 82. It has a structure that can be done.

  The pushing member 8 is inserted into the tubular body 41 of the inner plug 4 while holding the liquid absorbing member 6, and the pushing portion 83 is inserted into the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9 (see FIG. 1). ). That is, the outer diameter of the push-in cylinder 81 is designed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4, and the outer shape of the pressing portion 83 is shaped so as to be inserted into the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9. Has been. The attachment structure and attachment method of the pushing member 8 will be described later.

  The lower end 81a of the push-in cylinder 81 spaced apart from the accommodating portion 82 is provided with a tearing claw 84 having a shape pointed downward. In other words, the tip of the tearing claw 84 functions as the lower end 81 a of the pushing cylinder 81. That is, when the pushing cylinder 81 is pushed into the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4, the flange portion 45 of the lid body 42 is partially pressed by the tip of the tear claw 84 and the lid body 42 is moved along the thin portion 46. Will be pushed open. In the present embodiment, the breaking claw 84 has a shape obtained by cutting the tip of the pushing cylinder 81 obliquely halfway. A state in which the lid 42 is not completely separated and a part of the lid 42 is connected to the lower end 41 a of the cylindrical body 41 by not providing the breaking claws 84 continuously around the entire circumference of the pushing cylinder 81. Can be.

  At the lower end of the pushing cylinder 81 and on the opposite side of the claw 84 in the circumferential direction, the pushing cylinder 81 is pushed into the tubular body 41 of the inner plug 4 to open the lid 42, A lid locking portion 85 for locking the lid body 42 in a partially connected state to the open state shown in FIG. 9 is provided. The protruding length of the lid locking portion 85 is shorter than the protruding length of the breaking claw 84. For this reason, when the pushing cylinder 81 is pushed into the cylindrical body 41, the tip end of the tearing claw 84 comes into contact with the flange portion 45 of the lid body 42 first, and the lid body 42 partially extends from the lower end 41 a of the cylindrical body 41. The lid body 42 is locked in the open state by the lid locking portion 85 on the opposite side of the separation starting portion in the circumferential direction. Two notch portions 86 are provided between the breaking claw 84 and the lid locking portion 85.

  The accommodating portion 82 has a rectangular recess 71 that matches the shape of the volatilized portion 62 of the liquid absorbing member 6. The recess 71 is defined by a bottom wall portion 72, a back support portion 73, a pair of side wall portions 74 and 74, and a pressing portion 83. That is, the front surface of the recess 71 is open, and the liquid absorbing member 6 can be attached from the front surface side. The bottom wall 72 is formed with a circular opening 72 a communicating with the upper end opening of the push-in cylinder 81.

  The back surface support portion 73 includes a semi-cylindrical portion 76 provided between the side wall portions 74 and 74 on both sides via slits 75 and 75. The slits 75 and 75 function as volatilization holes. In the center of the semi-cylindrical portion 76, a volatilization hole 76a extending vertically is provided. The recess 71 is provided with an inclined guide surface 71a connecting the lower portion of the semi-cylindrical portion 76 and the edge of the opening 72a. On both sides of the volatilization hole 76a of the semi-cylindrical portion 76, two ribs 77, 77 extending vertically are integrally projected. The pair of side wall portions 74, 74 have a shape bent in an L-shaped cross section, and the bent portion 74 a (only one is shown in FIG. 6) functions as a part of the back support portion 73.

  When the liquid absorbing member 6 is attached to the pushing member 8, first, the lower end 61 a of the suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 is inserted into the opening 72 a of the pushing member 8 from the front side of the recess 71. At this time, the lower end 61 a is guided to the opening 72 a by the guide surface 71 a, and the sucking portion 61 is easily inserted and arranged in the pushing cylinder 81. Then, after the sucking portion 61 is inserted and disposed in the pushing cylinder 81, the volatilization portion 62 of the liquid absorbing member 6 is accommodated and disposed in the recess 71 of the accommodating portion 82. In this state, the front side of the volatilization part 62 is opened, and the back side of the volatilization part 62 is supported by the back support part 73. That is, the back surface of the volatilized portion 62 b is supported by the edge portions 76 b and 76 b of the semi-cylindrical portion 76 and the bent portions 74 a and 74 a of the side wall portions 74 and 74. The end portions 77 a and 77 a of the ribs 77 and 77 are located farther from the recess 71 than the edges 76 b and 76 b of the semi-cylindrical portion 76, and between the edges 76 b and 76 b of the semi-cylindrical portion 76 and the ribs 77 and 77. This space is not blocked by the volatilized portion 62.

  Further, in this state, the lower end 61 a of the suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 protrudes downward from the lower end 81 a of the push-in cylinder 81, that is, the tip of the breaking claw 84. In this way, the lower end 61 a of the sucked-up portion 61 protruding from the tip of the breaking claw 84 is inserted into the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4 by inserting the pushing cylinder 81 of the pushing member 8 holding the liquid absorbing member 6. In the state shown in FIG. 7 (the state in which the lid body 42 is not broken), it is arranged inside the lid body 42. In other words, the lid 42 is formed in a hemispherical shape protruding downward in order to accommodate the lower end 61a of the suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 protruding from the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41.

  Slide protrusions 87 and 87 are provided on the outside of the side wall portions 74 and 74 of the accommodating portion 82 for attaching the pushing member 8 to the cover 9 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The slide protrusion 87 is formed in a T-shaped cross section and is engaged with a pair of slide rails 94 and 94 (see FIGS. 7 and 8) provided inside the cover 9. The lower end of the slide rail 94 is opened to insert the slide protrusion 87. In the state where the pushing member 8 is arranged in the unused state shown in FIG. 7, the upper end portion 87a of the slide projection 87 abuts against the end portion of the slide rail, and the pushing member 8 is prevented from moving further upward.

  Further, on the outer side of the side wall portions 74, 74 of the accommodating portion 82, the engaging members 8 engage with the engaging claws 95, 95 of the cover 9 in a state where the pushing member 8 is disposed in the unused state shown in FIG. Protrusions 88 are provided in a protruding manner. The engagement protrusions 88 are provided above the slide protrusion 87 so as to be separated from each other. With the engaging protrusions 88, 88 of the pushing member 8 engaged with the engaging claws 95, 95 of the cover 9, the pushing member 8 is locked in the unused state shown in FIG. In this state, the pushing member 8 is separated above the inner plug 4.

  Further, a pair of holding claws 89, 89 spaced in the radial direction project downward from the lower surface side of the bottom wall portion 72 of the housing portion 82. When the pushing member 8 is pushed into the use state shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the holding claws 89, 89 engage with the lower end edge of the folded portion 43 of the inner plug 4 and lock the pushing member 8 at this position. It works as follows. That is, when the pressing portion 83 of the pressing member 8 is pressed and the pressing member 8 is placed in the use state, the pressing member 8 is held in this position and cannot return to the unused state.

  As described above, the outer surface 43b of the folded-back portion 43 of the inner plug 4 is inclined in a direction that extends outwardly downward. For this reason, when pushing member 8 is pushed in, holding claw 89 is pushed by outer surface 43b, and is elastically deformed so that it may curve outside. Then, after the holding claw 89 exceeds the outer surface 43 b, the holding claw 89 is restored to its original shape and engages with the lower end edge of the folded portion 43. For this reason, when the pushing member 8 is pushed into the use state, it cannot be returned to the unused state unless the user opens the pair of holding claws 89 and 89 outward and releases the engagement. The fact that the user has pushed the pushing member 8 into the use state can be recognized by the engagement sound when the holding claws 89 are engaged with the lower edge of the folded portion 43, and the pushing member 8 is used. You can check the operation of pushing into the state.

  The pressing portion 83 is formed in a shape in which the upper surface pressed by the user is curved and the center is recessed downward. The pressing portion 83 partially protrudes from the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9 in the unused state shown in FIG. Since the pressing portion 83 protrudes from the upper end opening 92, the user can easily recognize the pressing portion 83 and easily press the pressing portion 83 deeply. As shown in FIG. 1, a slight gap 96 is provided between the pressing portion 83 and the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9. In other words, the outer peripheral edge of the pressing portion 83 is partially recessed, and a gap 96 is formed between the upper end opening 92. The gap 96 functions as a volatilization hole for volatilizing the chemical solution.

Hereinafter, the assembly procedure of the volatilization apparatus 10 mentioned above is demonstrated.
First, the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4 is inserted from the opening 24 of the container 2 containing the chemical liquid, and the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41 is immersed in the chemical liquid. Then, the protrusion 25 of the neck portion 22 of the container 2 is fitted into the fitting recess 48 of the folded portion 43 of the inner plug 4, and the inner plug 4 is fixed to the neck portion 22 of the container 2. In this state, the container 2 is sealed with the inner stopper 4. Further, in this state (the state of FIG. 7), when the lid 42 is opened, the bottom of the container 2 is located between the top of the inner plug 4 on the side where the lid 42 is bulged and the bottom of the container 2. A gap (see FIG. 9) that does not contact is provided. It is not always necessary to provide the gap with a size that allows the lid 42 to be fully opened. At least the lower end of the suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 when the lid 42 is opened (as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9). It is only necessary that 61a can contact the bottom of the container 2.

  Second, the liquid absorbing member 6 is attached to the pushing member 8. At this time, first, the lower end 61 a of the suction part 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 is inserted into the opening 72 a at the bottom of the recess 71 from the front of the pushing member 8, and the sucking part 61 is inserted into the pushing cylinder 81 of the pushing member 8. Push into. At this time, the lower end 61a of the suction portion 61 is pressed against the guide surface 71a on the back side of the recess 71, and the lower end 61a is guided toward the opening 72a along the guide surface 71a. Then, after the sucking portion 61 is inserted into the pushing cylinder 81, the volatilizing portion 62 is accommodated in the recess 71.

  Third, the pushing member 8 holding the liquid absorbing member 6 as described above is attached to the inside of the cover 9. At this time, the pressing member 8 is inserted from the lower end edge 91 side of the cover 9 with the pressing portion 83 at the top, and the pair of slide protrusions 87 of the pressing member 8 are inserted into the pair of slide rails 94 inside the cover 9. At the same time, the pressing portion 83 of the pressing member 8 is inserted into the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9. Then, the pushing member 8 is pushed into the inside of the cover 9 until the pair of engaging claws 95, 95 of the cover 9 are engaged with the pair of engaging protrusions 88, 88 of the pushing member 8. In this state, the pushing member 8 is engaged with the cover 9, and there is no fear of dropping from the lower end side of the cover 9.

  The first procedure described above is performed separately from the second and third procedures described above, and in parallel with the second and third procedures, or after the second and third procedures. Also good.

  Finally, the pushing cylinder 81 of the pushing member 8 integrated with the cover 9 is inserted into the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4 fixed to the container 2, and the lower end edge 91 of the cover 9 is inserted into the step portion 26 of the container 2. Fit into. Thereby, the assembly of the volatilization apparatus 10 is completed. In this state, the lower end 61a of the suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 protruding from the lower end 81a of the pushing cylinder 81 of the pushing member 8 comes into contact with the inner surface of the lid body 42 of the inner plug 4, and the pushing cylinder 81 The lower end 81 a, that is, the tip of the tear claw 84 is slightly spaced upward from the flange portion 45 of the lid body 42.

  When the volatilization device 10 assembled as described above is changed from the unused state to the used state, the user is in the pushing member 8 in the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9 and a part of which protrudes from the upper opening 92. The pressing portion 83 is pressed downward and pushed into the upper end opening 92. As a result, the pushing member 8 is moved from the state shown in FIG. 7 to the state shown in FIG. 8, and as shown in FIG. 9, the lid 42 of the inner plug 4 is broken and the use of the volatilization device 10 is started. The

  At this time, first, the pair of engaging projections 88 of the pushing member 8 is disengaged from the corresponding engaging claws 95 of the cover 9, and the pair of holding claws 89 of the pushing member 8 comes into contact with the folded portion 43 of the inner plug 4, and pushes in. The tip of the tearing claw 84 of the member 8 comes into contact with the flange portion 45 of the lid 42 of the inner plug 4. The timing at which the holding claw 89 comes into contact with the folded portion 43 and the timing at which the broken claw 84 comes into contact with the flange 45 are substantially the same. May be. When the tip of the tear claw 84 moves toward the flange portion 45 of the inner plug 4, the tip of the tear claw 84 moves downward while contacting the inner surface of the thick portion 44 of the tubular body 41, and the flange portion The tip of the claw 84 is guided toward 45.

  When the pressing portion 83 of the pressing member 8 is further pressed from this state, the pair of holding claws 89 are elastically deformed while sliding on the outer surface 43b of the turned-up portion 43 and spread outward, and after getting over the turned-up portion 43, the original shape is obtained. It returns to and engages with the lower end edge of the folding | returning part 43. FIG. At the same time, the tip of the tearing claw 84 presses the flange 45, and the lid 42 starts to be opened from the portion where the tearing claw 84 is pressed. At this time, as described above, the suction portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 in contact with the inner surface of the lid body 42 pushes the lid body 42 from the inside and assists the force for opening the lid body 42.

  When the pushing member 8 is pushed to the lowermost end in the movable range and the pair of holding claws 89 engage with the lower edge of the folded portion 43, the lid body 42 rotates approximately 90 ° downward as shown in FIG. The lower end 61 a of the sucked-up portion 61 that is opened in the above state and protrudes downward from the breaking claw 84 comes into contact with the bottom of the container 2. Since the liquid absorbing member 6 is formed of a nonwoven fabric or the like, the liquid absorbing member 6 expands when the chemical liquid is absorbed, and the length of the sucked-up portion 61 slightly increases. For this reason, the length of the siphoning portion 61 is set to such a length that the lower end 61a of the siphoning portion 61 that has absorbed the chemical solution comes into contact with the bottom of the container 2 when placed in the use state shown in FIGS. do it.

  According to this embodiment, since the lid body 42 provided at the lower end of the inner plug 4 is made substantially hemispherical and bulges downward from the lower end of the cylindrical body 41, the tip 81a of the breaking claw 84 of the pushing member 8 is covered with the lid. The lower end 61a of the sucking portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 can be disposed below the position where the flange portion 45 of the body 42 is pressed, and the lower end of the sucking portion 61 is opened from the breaking nail 84 with the lid 42 opened. 61a can be popped out. For this reason, the lower end 61a of the liquid absorbing member 6 can be brought into contact with the bottom of the container 2 while enabling opening by piercing.

  In the present embodiment, the lid body 42 is disposed so that the sealed lid body 42 is not sandwiched between the lower end 61 a of the suction member 61 protruding from the lower end 41 a of the cylindrical body 41 and the bottom of the container 2. Is not separated from the cylindrical body 41, and the opened lid 42 is locked in the open state shown in FIG. That is, immediately before the pushing member 8 is pushed to the lowest end, the lid locking portion 85 at the lower end of the pushing member 8 is projected downward from the lower end 41a of the cylindrical body 41 so as to support the edge of the lid body 42. did. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the lid 42 from being sandwiched between the lower end 61a of the suction part 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 and the bottom of the container 2, and the chemical remaining on the bottom of the container 2 is sucked up and volatilized. be able to.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, when the lid body 42 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape, when the lid body 42 is rotated downward with a part thereof being connected to the lower end of the cylindrical body 41, The arc-shaped locus drawn by the tip of the rotation can be reduced, and the distance from the lid 42 to the bottom of the container 2 can be minimized. On the other hand, for example, when the lid body 42 is formed in a cylindrical shape, in the cylinder having the same radius, the locus drawn by the tip of rotation is larger than that of the hemispherical lid body 42. For example, by making the lid body 42 substantially hemispherical as in the present embodiment, the cylindrical body 41 of the inner plug 4 can be made slightly longer, and the degree of design freedom can be increased.

  Further, when the pushing cylinder 81 of the pushing member 8 is inserted into the tubular body 41 of the inner plug 4 and pushed, the outer circumferential surface of the pushing cylinder 81 is slid in a state of being in sliding contact with the inner surface of the thick portion 44. 8 and 9, the outer peripheral surface of the pressing cylinder 81 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 41 (the inner surface of the thick portion 44) are brought into close contact with the pressing member 8 being pushed into use. Sealed. Thereby, it can prevent that a chemical | medical solution penetrate | invades into the clearance gap between the outer peripheral surface of the pushing cylinder 81, and the inner surface of the cylindrical body 41, and can prevent the malfunction which a chemical | medical solution leaks through this clearance gap.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the lid body 42 is gradually separated from the lower end 41 a of the cylindrical body 41 by pushing the flange portion 45 of the lid body 42 with the cylindrical tearing claw 84, and pushed. Since the lower end 61a of the sucking portion 61 of the liquid absorbing member 6 inserted into the cylinder 81 is protruded from the tear claw 84, the lower end 61a of the sucking portion 61 is brought into contact with the bottom of the container 2 with the lid 42 opened. The chemical solution remaining on the bottom in the container 2 can be sucked up and volatilized, and the waste of the chemical solution can be eliminated.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the use of the volatilization apparatus 10 is started, the cover 9 is once opened, the container 2 is broken, and the liquid absorbing member 6 is immersed in the chemical solution, as in the prior art. The troublesome work of returning 9 to the original position becomes unnecessary, and the use can be started by a simple operation of simply pushing the pressing portion 83 of the pushing member 8 until it clicks, improving convenience. Can do.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the volatilization apparatus 110 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of the volatilization device 110 in an unused state, and FIG. 11 is a longitudinal sectional view of the volatilization device 110 in a used state. Here, the same reference numerals are given to components that function in the same manner as the volatilization apparatus 10 of the first embodiment described above, and detailed description thereof is omitted, and only the configuration different from the volatilization apparatus 10 of the first embodiment is described. explain. Since the procedure for assembling the volatilization apparatus 110 is the same as that of the volatilization apparatus 10 of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The volatilization device 110 according to the present embodiment forms the pressing portion 83 ′ of the pushing member 8 with a relatively thin flat plate, and covers the recess 71 that accommodates the volatilizing portion 62 ′ of the liquid absorbing member 6. It was placed near the top of 9. As a result, the ratio of the length of the suction portion 61 ′ to the entire length of the volatilization device 110 is increased, and the axial height (ie, capacity) of the container 2 ′ is increased. In the present embodiment, the liquid absorbing member 6 is held so as to be slidable up and down with respect to the pushing member 8.

  That is, the vertical size of the volatilized portion 62 ′ is smaller than the vertical size of the recess 71. In other words, in the unused state shown in FIG. 10, a space is formed between the volatilized portion 62 ′ and the bottom wall portion 72 of the recess 71. Therefore, when the pushing member 8 is pushed from the unused state of FIG. 10 to the used state of FIG. 11, that is, when the lid 42 ′ is opened, the liquid absorbing member 6 falls due to its own weight, and the lower end of the sucking portion 61 ′. 61 a comes into contact with the bottom of the container 2. In other words, in the unused state of FIG. 10, the lower end 61 a of the suction portion 61 ′ of the liquid absorbing member 6 is supported by being in contact with the inner surface of the lid body 42 ′ that seals the lower end of the cylindrical body 41. .

  In the present embodiment, when the pushing member 8 is pushed, the holding claw 89 is engaged with the annular rib 27 provided on the outer periphery of the neck portion 22 of the container 2. Accordingly, the pushing member 8 can be directly engaged with the container 2 instead of being engaged with the inner plug 4 as in the first embodiment, and the pushing member 8 can be engaged regardless of the state of the inner plug 4. Can be securely held in use.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, when the pushing member 8 is pushed in and the lid body 42 ′ is opened, the liquid absorbing member 6 is dropped by its own weight so that the lower end 61 a of the sucking portion 61 ′ is placed at the bottom of the container 2. Since the volatilized portion 62 of the liquid absorbing member 6 can be reduced, the liquid absorbing member 6 can be easily attached to the pushing member 8 when the volatilizing apparatus 10 is assembled, and the volatilization apparatus 110 is manufactured. Cost can be reduced. Moreover, after adopting such a simple configuration, the lower end 61a of the suction portion 61 ′ of the liquid absorbing member 6 can be always brought into contact with the bottom of the container 2 with the same pressure, and the reliability can be improved. . Needless to say, this embodiment can achieve the same effects as those of the first embodiment described above.

  FIG. 12 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a volatilization device 200 which is a modification of the volatilization device 10 of the first embodiment described above. Here, the same reference numerals are given to components that function in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above, and detailed description thereof will be omitted, and only components that are different from those in the first embodiment will be described.

  According to the volatilization device 200, the pushing member 8 ′ that holds the liquid absorbing member 6 so as not to move does not include the slide protrusion 87 and the engagement protrusion 88, but includes a pair of engagement claws 201 and 201 instead. Yes. The engaging claws 201 and 201 are curved and protruded upward from the outside of the side wall portions 74 and 74 of the accommodating portion 82, respectively, and are spaced apart and opposed to the opposite side in the radial direction of the pushing member 8 ′. Is provided.

  On the other hand, the cover 9 includes a pair of engaging protrusions 202 and 202 at the edge of the upper end opening 92. The engaging protrusions 202 and 202 are provided corresponding to the engaging claws 201 and 201 of the pushing member 8 ′. When the pushing member 8 ′ is inserted through the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9 and attached, The claws 201 are engaged with each other.

  For this reason, according to this modified example, the pushing member 8 ′ can be inserted and attached through the upper end opening 92 of the cover 9, and the volatilization apparatus 200 can be easily assembled. In addition, the structure of this modification can also be applied to the volatilization apparatus 110 of the second embodiment.
