FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a scent generating device (110) in which an upper cover (111b) is attached to a base member (111a). The upper cover (111b) has an air outlet (112) (air outlet (104)) at a position corresponding to the air outlet (23) of the fragrance cartridge (10) (a position just above the air outlet (23)). ) Is formed.

 上部カバー(111b)は天板を有する筒状部材であり、ベース部材(111a)に着脱可能に構成されている。上記制御部(30)はベース部材(111a)の内部に固定されている。ベース部材(111a)の上面には、上記香料カートリッジ(10)を着脱可能なカートリッジ装着部(113(102))が設けられている。香料カートリッジ(10)を着脱する具体的な構成としては、ベース部材(111a)の上面に香料カートリッジ(10)を載置して位置決めする部分を設けたものでもよいし、香料カートリッジを挿入保持する筒状部(図示せず)をベース部材(111a)の上面に形成したものでもよいし、その他の任意の構成を採用してもよい。 The upper cover (111b) is a cylindrical member having a top plate, and is configured to be detachable from the base member (111a). The control unit (30) is fixed inside the base member (111a). On the upper surface of the base member (111a), a cartridge mounting portion (113 (102)) to which the fragrance cartridge (10) can be attached and detached is provided. As a specific configuration for attaching and detaching the fragrance cartridge (10), a portion for placing and positioning the fragrance cartridge (10) on the upper surface of the base member (111a) may be provided, or the fragrance cartridge is inserted and held. A cylindrical portion (not shown) may be formed on the upper surface of the base member (111a), or any other configuration may be employed.

 ベース部材(111a)の上面には、上記接続部(27)として用いられるケーシング側コネクタ(114)が突出している。上記香料カートリッジ(10)には、カートリッジ側コネクタ(115)が設けられている。カートリッジ側コネクタ(115)はケーシング側コネクタ(114)に接続可能に構成されている。 A casing-side connector (114) used as the connecting portion (27) protrudes from the upper surface of the base member (111a). The perfume cartridge (10) is provided with a cartridge side connector (115). The cartridge side connector (115) is configured to be connectable to the casing side connector (114).

 図1に示すように、この香り発生装置(110)では、複数(図1の例では3つ)の香料カートリッジ(10)がケーシングに装填されている。複数の香料カートリッジ(10)のうち、カートリッジ側コネクタ(115)がケーシング側コネクタ(114)に接続されているのは1つのみである。 As shown in FIG. 1, in this scent generating device (110), a plurality (three in the example of FIG. 1) of fragrance cartridges (10) are loaded in a casing.

-Effect of Embodiment 1-
The fragrance atomization unit of the present embodiment has a storage part (11) in which one kind of fragrance is stored, and a atomization part (12) having a mechanism for atomizing the fragrance in the storage part (11), The member constituting the atomization part (12) or the member different from the atomization part (12) is provided, and the blowing part (13) for blowing out the atomized fragrance, and the fragrance in the storage part (11) The fragrance supply path (14) supplied to the blowing section (13) through the atomization section (12) and the control section (30) for controlling the atomization section (12) from the outside include the fragrance supply path ( And a connecting portion (15) arranged so as to be connected at a position other than 14), and is attached to and detached from an air supply device such as a scent generating device, an air purifier, or an indoor unit of an air conditioner.

 従来、空気供給装置で空気に香りを付与する場合、香料を交換しても、新たな香料の香りが元の香料の香りと混ざってしまうことがある。 Conventionally, when a fragrance is imparted to air with an air supply device, the fragrance of a new fragrance may be mixed with the fragrance of the original fragrance even if the fragrance is replaced.

 この実施形態1では、香料が、香料供給経路(14)を流れ、微粒化部(12)で微粒化して吹出部(13)から吹き出されるのに対して、制御部(30)が接続される接続部(15)は、香料供給経路(14)以外の位置、つまり香料が流れず接触しない位置に設けられている。したがって、それまで用いていたのとは異なる種類の香料を有する香料微粒化ユニットを制御部(30)に接続すると、吹出部(13)も含めて香料供給経路(14)の全体が交換されるので、異なる香料が混ざるのを抑制できる。 In this Embodiment 1, a fragrance | flavor flows through a fragrance | flavor supply path | route (14), is atomized by the atomization part (12), and is blown off from the blowing part (13), whereas a control part (30) is connected. The connecting portion (15) is provided at a position other than the fragrance supply path (14), that is, a position where the fragrance does not flow and does not contact. Therefore, when a fragrance atomization unit having a different type of fragrance different from that used before is connected to the control section (30), the entire fragrance supply path (14) including the blowing section (13) is replaced. Therefore, it can suppress that different fragrance | flavors mix.

 また、本実施形態では、二流体ノズル(25)を用いて液体香料を容易に微粒化でき、しかも香料容器から吹出口までの香料供給経路(14)を一体のユニット式に形成し、カートリッジとして交換できるようにしているので、複数の香りが混ざらない構成を簡単に実用化することが可能となる。 Further, in this embodiment, the liquid fragrance can be easily atomized using the two-fluid nozzle (25), and the fragrance supply path (14) from the fragrance container to the outlet is formed as an integral unit type as a cartridge. Since they can be exchanged, a configuration in which a plurality of scents are not mixed can be easily put into practical use.
