Abstract

The present invention discloses a fragrance generating device for forcibly fragrant fragrance by using a bubble and discharge the fragrant fragrance to a desired position through a transfer pipe. When the air compressor 12 makes compressed air and delivers it to the bubble generator 24 through the first compressed air transfer pipe 18a, bubbles are generated in the bubble generator that is immersed in the fragrance solution in the container 40. As the bubbles rise to the surface of the fragrance solution, the fragrance particles contained in the fragrance solution are blown out of the fragrance solution and the bubbles rise above the surface of the fragrance solution. The fragrance is pushed by the compressed air discharged through the second compressed air transfer pipe 18b and discharged to the outside through the fragrance transfer pipe 44. In this process, the liquid perfume particles are filtered by the gas-liquid separation assembly 34 so that only the fragrance of the gas phase flows into the fragrance transfer pipe 44. The amount of compressed air or the concentration of the scent may be adjusted by the controller 14 controlling the air compressor 12, the solenoid valve 16, or the like. This fragrance generating device has the advantage of being able to smell the fragrance without using a volatile solvent and to supply the fragrance at a desired position, and to use only by replacing the fragrance solution again.

Description

Scent Device {apparatus for spreading fragrance}

The present invention relates to a fragrance generating device, and more particularly, to a fragrance generating device for forcibly fragrant fragrance by using a bubble and discharge the fragrant fragrance to a desired position through a transfer pipe.

In general, the higher the standard of living, the higher the desire to decorate the home, passenger car, office, underground space, etc. into a comfortable environment. However, when a person lives in a basic life of a ritual, an unpleasant odor such as a food smell, a cigarette smell due to smoking, and other odors are generated. Although a facility such as a ventilation facility or an air purifier is used for the purpose of creating a pleasant indoor atmosphere such as removing odors, a fragrance-producing device is one of the widely used devices.

Conventionally known fragrance apparatuses are natural fragrance apparatuses, liquid fragrance fragrance apparatuses, and fragrance apparatuses using mechanical means such as fans.

Natural fragrance device is made of synthetic fragrances obtained by artificially synthesizing natural fragrances or ester compounds obtained by adding volatile substances to enhance fragrance ability to essential oils extracted from plants and animals in liquid or solid state and put them in a container Exposure to natural fragrances. By the way, a lot of alcohol is used as the added volatiles, especially methanol because of the low price is widely used. However, methanol is a harmful substance to the human body, if continuously exposed or ingested there is a problem that can cause side effects such as optic nerve disorders, headache, cough, dyspnea, and the like. In addition, the human olfactory organs have a tendency to fatigue, so if you smell for more than a certain period of time, you will no longer feel the scent unless you are stimulated further. Thus the fragrance needs to be produced intermittently. However, these fragrances are themselves a collection of aromatic compounds, which volatilize themselves and diffuse into the atmosphere simply by exposing them to the atmosphere, so that the fragrance is intermittently made or the fragrance concentration is properly adjusted. There is a disadvantage in lack of controllability. In addition, the fragrance area is narrow and most disposables cannot be used by refilling the perfume into the container.

The liquid-scented fragrance fragrance system adopts a method of pressurizing and filling a fragrance, which is aerosol-type, into the atmosphere in the living space through a nozzle when necessary. This method has some control in that it allows a sufficient scent to be felt when needed and within a short time, but is disadvantageous in that the concentration of the scent varies greatly depending on the distance from the injection point. In addition, since the spraying fragrance apparatus uses an injector such as freon gas or liquefied propane gas to inject the fragrance, there is a risk of environmental pollution and fire.

In addition, the fan-type perfume generating device adsorbs a sufficient amount of liquid perfume to a solid material capable of adsorbing the liquid perfume such as sorbent paper, adsorbent or film to apply the air flow generated from the fan to the adsorbed perfume material. Take the way of dispersing fragrance into living space. It is pointed out that this apparatus has a lot of limitations in use such as time to release perfume and replacement time of adsorbent due to volume and adsorption capacity of adsorbent itself.

In order to make up for the disadvantages of the conventional fragrance devices, the following points need to be considered. First of all, due to the fatigue characteristics of the human sense of smell, the supply of fragrance is basically to be controlled intermittently, and if necessary, it is necessary to control the fragrance to be released only while the person is present (controllability). In addition, even if a volatile solvent such as alcohol or oil is not incorporated into the fragrance, the fragrance may occur well so that the fragrance itself may not only feel the high-quality scent but also be harmful to the human body (pure). Furthermore, it is better if the facility which can supply fragrance | flavor to appropriately adjusted density | concentration throughout a large space, such as a building, for example (possibility of installation) is possible. In addition, the fragrance apparatus can be used as it is, but only by refilling the fragrance (recyclability), and the convenience of cleaning or other management of the apparatus needs to be considered (convenience). It would be better if you could easily change the scent as needed (selectivity).

The present invention generates a bubble in the liquid fragrance liquid in order to satisfy the above-mentioned matters by forcibly smelling the fragrance and supplying it to the desired time and space through the conveying pipe so that the fragrant fragrance can always be maintained in the indoor space. It is an object to provide a device.

The fragrance apparatus further includes a fragrance conveying tube connected to the through hole of the container to transfer and discharge the fragrance to a desired space, and to transfer and discharge the fragrance fragrant out of the fragrance solution surface to a desired position. desirable.

In order to secure controllability of supplying fragrance at a suitable time in a desired space, the fragrance device may further include a solenoid valve, a lock detection sensor, a concentration sensor, or the like, and may be configured to be linked with the control means. The control means is basically provided with a timing control function for controlling the supply and interruption of the compressed air to be repeated periodically.

In addition, the fragrance device is installed on one or more layers of the net and / or the fragrance solution in the container in order to increase the fragrance efficiency to filter the liquid fragrance particles generated when the bubble bursts, the fragrance of the gas phase transfer pipe It may further include a gas-liquid separator to be introduced into.

Furthermore, in order to adjust the concentration of aromas generated in the container and the delivery pressure to the outside of the container according to the amount of compressed air supplied, the injector has an inlet branched from the compressed air delivery pipe or directly connected to the compressed air means. It may be further provided with an air pressure balancing tube which is installed such that the discharge port is located in the space above the surface of the perfume solution in the container to supply the compressed air.

As the kind of the fragrance solution to be used, it can be used in various ways such as a) fragrance stock solution, b) a mixture of fragrance stock solution and a predetermined solvent, c) a fragrance stock solution, a mixture of a predetermined solvent and a surfactant. Furthermore, the fragrance solution may further be emulsified so that the fragrance stock solution is diluted with the predetermined solvent by using an ultrasonic vibrator.

According to the fragrance apparatus of the present invention as described above, the fragrance particles dissolved in the fragrance solution is caught by the bubbles generated as the compressed air is spouted into the fragrance solution and forced out of the fragrance solution, the compressed air supplied to the upper space of the container It is pushed out and forced out of the fragrance pipe. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a separate volatile additive, and the fragrance can be supplied to a desired area at a desired time period.

Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent with reference to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings that illustrate the features of various embodiments of the invention.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 shows a basic configuration of a fragrance device 60 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device is basically installed in the container (40) for containing the fragrance solution, including the fragrance, the bottom of the container (40) containing the fragrance solution, by using the provided compressed air to generate air bubbles in the fragrance solution Compressed by the air compressor (12), the air compressor (12), the air compressor (12) for compressing and discharging the air by forcibly flavoring the included fragrance to the outside of the fragrance solution to create a fragrance Compressed air transfer pipe 18 for delivering air to the bubble generator 24, connected to the upper portion of the vessel 40, the fragrance transfer pipe 44 for transporting and discharging the fragrance scented out of the perfume solution surface to the desired position, and compression And control means 14 for performing general control related to the supply of air and / or the generation and supply of aroma, for example, the drive control of the air compressor 12, and the like.

One of the main features of the present invention is that bubbles are generated in the fragrance solution to force the fragrance. There may be various means for generating bubbles in the fragrance solution 28. As the simplest one, bubbles are generated even when the end portion of the compressed air transfer pipe 18a is immersed in the fragrance solution 28 and the compressed air is discharged. However, this method does not have high efficiency of forced fragrance of fragrance because bubbles are generated only locally. In order to increase the fragrance fragrance efficiency, bubbles need to be evenly generated throughout the bottom of the container 40.

7A to 7C illustrate the preferred structure of the bubble generator 24 in view of this point. The bubble generator 24 is composed of a compressed air container 200 and a plurality of rod assemblies 204 installed in the compressed air container 200. Compressed air container 200 is a polygonal container having an open top and a bottom surface and sidewalls, and a pair of locking jaws 203a and 203b are formed along the center portions of both sidewalls facing each other, and the second compressed air transfer pipe Connected to (18a) has a structure in which the compressed air can be introduced into the lower empty space. Each rod 202 is an inclined surface in order to improve the assemblability, a plurality of fine grooves 201 are formed in a row at regular intervals on both sides, the upper and lower surfaces are parallel but have a different width. A plurality of rods having such a shape are arranged side by side so that the adjacent rods are overlaid on each other by the side on the engaging projections 203a and 203b of both sidewalls of the compressed air container 200. The shape, size, placement interval, and size and spacing of the groove 201 can be modified differently.

Therefore, according to the structure of the bubble generator 24, bubbles are formed in the grooves 201 of the plurality of rods 204 in which the compressed air 26 introduced into the lower empty space of the compressed air container 200 is disposed adjacent thereto. It is caused by escaping upward through it. Furthermore, the structure using such a rod assembly 204 is convenient for cleaning or disinfection. The number, size or shape of the grooves 201 formed in the rod 202 may be changed.

In addition to the bubble generator 24 installed on the bottom, the container 40 may further include a mesh 30 having fine eyes in the middle of the surface of the bubble generator 24 and the fragrance solution 28. FIG. 4 shows a structure of one mesh 30a provided with a through hole 33 of the first compressed air transfer pipe 18a. In the container 40, one or more stages 30a of such a mesh 30a are shown. , 30b, 30c). When the net 30 is installed in the fragrance solution 28, bubbles generated in the bubble generator 24 pass through the net 30, and the fragrance attached to the net 30 is scented. According to this method, the fragrance capability of one bubble is much higher than that when the net 30 is not installed, and this fragrance capability is further increased according to the number of stages of the net 30 installed.

In the upper space of the container 40 to which the fragrance transfer pipe 44 is connected, a gas-liquid separator 34 for preventing the liquid fragrance particles generated while bubbles are blown out of the fragrance solution surface to escape to the fragrance transfer pipe 44 is provided. Is installed more. 5 and 6 show a state where the gas-liquid separator 34 is installed in the container 40 and the configuration of the gas-liquid separator 34, respectively. According to the configuration of one embodiment of the gas-liquid separator 34 shown in FIG. 6, the gas-liquid separator 34 is assembled by screwing with the container 40, and between the upper discharge port of the container 40 and the surface of the perfume solution. The first blocking plate 208 and the first blocking plate 208 of the first blocking plate 208 which divides the space but forms a through hole 209 in the center portion thereof so that the fragrance of fragrance is raised upward through the through hole 209 as the bubbles burst. The plurality of pillars 207 and the plurality of pillars 207 installed around the through holes 209 are supported to be parallel to the first blocking plate 208 at a predetermined distance and are installed to cover the through holes 209. The second blocking plate 206, and the mesh 210 is installed while enclosing the space between the first blocking plate 208 and the second blocking plate 206 along the periphery of the through hole 209.

According to the structure of the gas-liquid separator 34, the perfume particles in the gas-liquid mixed state oriented by the bubbles are blocked in the first and second blocks in the process of discharging their discharge paths as shown by arrows in FIG. In addition to colliding with the plates 206 and 208, and in particular with the tight meshes 210, most of the fragrance particles in the liquid state are almost filtered out by the gas-liquid separator 34 and exit into the fragrance conveying pipe 44. Most are gaseous fragrance particles.

The fragrance transfer pipe 44 is not so high in the pressure of the tube, so the choice of the material is very wide, for example, a general hose or a high pressure hose made of a synthetic resin can be used. And in consideration of the convenience of construction work or flexibility of coupling, etc., the fragrance transfer pipe 44 is coupled to the container 40 through the bellows pipe 42. In order to facilitate the redirection of the fragrance transfer pipe 44, a necking albe (not shown) may be further added when the container 40 and the fragrance transfer pipe 44 are connected.

The nozzle 46 is fastened to the end of the fragrance conveying pipe 44. The nozzle 46 is a member for preventing dew formation at the end of the fragrance conveying tube 44 when discharging the fragrance particles delivered through the fragrance conveying tube 44 into the atmosphere, the structure of which is illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B. have. The nozzle 46 has a through hole 213 through which the fragrance is discharged and a fragrance passing through the through hole 213 through the obliquely enclosed and closed end of the through hole 213. A gas-liquid separation cavity 214 is formed to allow water to separate and collect there. The gas-liquid separation cavity 214 prevents the condensed perfume oil and water in the fragrance conveying pipe 44 from being discharged into the air due to long-term use.

The air compressor 12 may be appropriately selected from commercial products, but the rated output may be appropriately selected according to the size of the indoor space to which the fragrance is to be supplied. Air purifying filters 10a and 10b are provided at the front of the inlet of the air compressor 12 and the rear of the discharge part to clean the air. Representative examples of the air purification filter (10a, 10b) is a carbon filter, in particular, the air purification filter (10b) is installed in the rear end in consideration of the connection with the compressed air transfer pipe (18) employing a line-mounted carbon filter It is preferable.

Compressed air transfer pipe (18) is branched from one pipe to two transfer pipes (18a, 18b), the first compressed air transfer pipe (18a) is connected to the bubble generator 24 and the second compressed air transfer pipe (18b) The terminal portion is installed so as to be located in the space above the surface of the perfume solution in the container 40. The first compressed air transfer pipe 18a and the second compressed air transfer pipe 18b may be directly connected to the air compressor 12 without being branched from the common transfer pipe 18. The second compressed air transfer pipe 18b discharges compressed air onto the surface of the fragrance solution to forcibly burst bubbles generated on the surface of the fragrance solution, as well as the fragrance generated in the container 40 according to the amount of compressed air supplied. It serves as an air pressure balancing tube for adjusting the concentration and the conveying pressure out of the vessel (40).

Globe valves 20a and 20b for adjusting the amount of compressed air supplied may be further installed on the pipelines of the first and second compressed air transfer pipes 18a and 18b, and the pipelines of the first compressed air transfer pipe 18a may be installed. In particular, it is preferable that a one-way valve 22 is further provided on the phase to prevent backflow of the fragrance solution from the bubble generator 24. In addition, a solenoid valve 16 is provided on the conduit of the compressed air transfer pipe 18 to supply and block the compressed air generated from the air compressor 12 to the bubble generator 24. Opening and closing of the solenoid valve 16 is configured such that the control means 14 controls.

As mentioned above, the human sense of smell has a characteristic of quickly fatigued by the same odor stimulus, so it is necessary to supply the fragrance intermittently so that a person can continuously feel the fragrance. To this end, the control means 14 basically has a timing control function for controlling the supply and shutoff of the compressed air to be repeated periodically at regular time intervals.

In addition, the concentration of the fragrance discharged by being installed near the discharge port of the access detection sensor 48 and / or the fragrance conveying pipe 44 which detects when a person approaches the predetermined range from the installed position and generates an access detection signal Further, a density detecting sensor 50 for detecting is provided, and these sensors are used as an input signal source of the control means 14. With this arrangement, the control means 14, for example, does not drive the air compressor 12 normally, but starts to operate the air compressor 12 in response to the approach detection signal generated from the approach detection sensor 48. FIG. If the access detection signal is not generated continuously for a predetermined time, the operation of the air compressor 12 can be stopped again. In addition, the control means 14 increases the amount of compressed air supplied to the bubble generator 24 by increasing the supply time of compressed air, for example, when the concentration of the fragrance is low in response to the detection signal of the concentration detecting sensor 50. On the other hand, in the opposite case, control of the amount of compressed air is reduced to ensure proper concentration.

The container 40 is made of a structure that can be separated up and down, respectively, near the height where the upper gas-liquid separator 34 and the lower bubble generator 24 is installed. By using the container 40 having such a detachable structure, the bubble generator 24 and the gas-liquid separator 34 can be easily separated, and the foreign substances resulting from long-term use can be easily washed and disinfected and reused. In addition, the material of the container 40 may be different depending on the working pressure, so that there is no loss of air pressure to make a completely sealed structure.

On the other hand, the fragrance solution used in the fragrance apparatus 60 is not limited in principle. For example, the perfume stock solution may be used as it is. However, the fragrance stock is expensive and uneconomical. Therefore, it is preferable to use a perfume dilution solution obtained by mixing the perfume raw solution with another solvent in a predetermined ratio or a mixed solution in which a surfactant is further added to the perfume dilution solution.

There is no particular limitation on the material that can be used as a solvent for diluting the perfume stock solution. However, an odorless solvent is preferable so as not to impair the pure fragrance of the perfume stock solution itself. Representative examples of odorless solvents include water, in addition to propylene glycol. In addition, since the fragrance apparatus 60 of the present invention takes a forced fragrance method by bubbles, it is not necessary to use a volatile additive when making a fragrance solution.

On the other hand, the fragrance stock (natural oil), which is a natural fragrance, is an oil component, so when the water is used as a solvent, the fragrance stock solution floats on the water without mixing with each other in the natural state, and the fragrance efficiency is poor in this state. Therefore, in order to improve the fragrance efficiency, it is preferable to use a fragrance-flavored solution that has been milked to dilute the perfume stock solution in water.

One of the methods for diluting the fragrance stock solution with water is a method using an ultrasonic generator. When the water is put into the container and the ultrasonic wave is applied and the flavoring solution is dropped drop by drop, the flavoring solution is diluted with water, and the whole mixture becomes milky.

In order to perform the milking treatment with high efficiency, an ultrasonic dilution apparatus shown in FIG. 9 is used. The perfume stock solution 236 and the water 226 before dilution are present separately as in FIG. 9. In this state, the ultrasonic vibrating plate 234 is disposed on the interface between the perfume raw material 236 and the water 226. In addition, the vibrator 230 vibrates by an AC signal of a predetermined frequency provided by the power supply unit 222 to the coil 228, and the vibration is transmitted to the ultrasonic vibrating plate 234 through the metal bar 232 so that the perfume oil particles Dispersed and diluted perfume solution is obtained in water. In this dispersion process, the dispersed perfume particles collide with each other and some of them reaggregate. In this case, when the surfactant is added during the dilution treatment, even if the fragrance oil particles diluted in the water collide, less aggregation occurs, thereby increasing the concentration of the emulsion.

According to the fragrance | flavor apparatus 60 which has the above structure, the control means 14 drives the air compressor 12, and makes compressed air, this compressed air is carried out by the bubble generator (1) through the 1st compressed air transfer pipe 18a. 24) is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, bubbles are formed in the perfume solution by the compressed air 26 blown out of the bubble generator 24. The bubble catches the fragrance particles contained in the fragrance solution and pops out of the fragrance solution surface to fill the upper space of the container 40 with the fragrant aroma. Then, the compressed air supplied by the second compressed air transfer pipe 18b is pushed toward the fragrance transfer pipe 44 through the gas-liquid separator 34, and the fragrance is finally transported through the fragrance transfer pipe 44. The nozzle 46 is discharged to a specific space through the nozzle 46. In this process, the control means appropriately manages the supply time and concentration of the fragrance by controlling the driving of the air compressor 12, the supply amount of the compressed air, and the like.

There are a variety of ways to install such a fragrance device (60). FIG. 11 shows an example of the configuration installed in combination with a flower. In addition to planting the plant 262 in the flower pot 260, the bubble generator 24, the gas-liquid separator 34, the mesh 30 and the container assembly (40a) containing the fragrance solution, the compressed air transfer pipe (18) In addition, the air compressor 12, the control means 14 and the like are also installed so as not to be exposed to the outside. The fragrance conveying pipe 44 extends up to the proper height by riding up the harmony 262, and the nozzle 46 is installed toward the direction to emit fragrance. If necessary, the access detection sensor 48 interlocked with the control means 14 is installed at an appropriate position outside the pot. Such a harmonious fragrance apparatus can be installed and used in a single indoor space such as a living room or an office of a normal home.

As still another installation example, FIG. 12 shows an example in which the fragrance device 60 is installed in a passenger car. The container assembly 40b, the compressed air transfer pipe 18 and the air compressor 12 are installed in the trunk of the passenger car 270, the control means 14 is installed at an appropriate position in front of the driver's seat, and the fragrance transfer pipe 44 is a passenger car. The pipe 46 is installed inside the roof of the room 272 so that the nozzle 46 is located approximately in the center of the room 272. The control means 14 is provided with a manual actuation button to enable the driver to release the scent when necessary. In addition, it is preferable to configure the control means 14 such that the smell diffusion apparatus 60 is operated only when the passenger car is driving or there is a person in the room. And in order to create a refreshing ride atmosphere, it is desirable to have a fragrance automatically released when a person climbs in a car.

On the other hand, Figure 2 shows a configuration of a fragrance apparatus 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The fragrance apparatus 100 is a preferable configuration example when applied to a place divided into a plurality of independent zones to be supplied with a fragrance, such as a hotel, a department store or a large building, a subway car (or a train). In the basic configuration, it is almost the same as the smell diffusion apparatus 60 of FIG. However, there are some differences due to the wide range and pluralism of the space to be supplied with fragrance.

Explaining this, a plurality of fragrance transfer pipe (144a, 144b, 144c, 144d) is piped separately for each zone. And each of the fragrance transfer pipe is coupled to the appropriate number of nozzles (146a ~ 146f). A plurality of fragrance transfer pipes (144a, 144b, 144c, 144d) are branched from the common pipe 158, respectively, and common pipes with each of the fragrance transfer pipes (144a, 144b, 144c, and 144d) in order to secure control of fragrance supply for each zone. Between 158, the solenoid valves 116d, 116e, 116f, and 116g which are controlled by the control means 114 are arrange | positioned, respectively. The bellows pipe 142a and the globe valve 154e are further installed between the common pipe 158 and the container assembly 140a.

The fragrance apparatus 100 may also include a plurality of container assemblies 140a and 140b for serving other areas or for producing different kinds of fragrances. The bubble generators 124a and 124b, the gas-liquid separators 134a and 134b, and the meshes 130a and 130b mounted in each container assembly are the same as those of the first embodiment, except that the fragrance solutions 128a and 128b are different from each other. It can be another kind.

The fragrance apparatus 100 may employ only one air compressor 112 or may employ a plurality of air compressors, and in the case of employing one air compressor, the compressor 100 further includes a compressed air tank 152 to produce the compressed air produced by the air compressor 112. Increase the stockpile of air In addition, an air chamber 156 is further installed on the conduit of the compressed air transfer pipe 118 to maintain and regulate the pressure of the compressed air appropriately.

In addition, the compressed air transfer pipe 118 is branched into a plurality of compressed air transfer pipes (118a, 118b, 118c, 118d) to the bubble generator (124a, 124b) and the fragrance solution (128a, 128b) of each container assembly (140a, 140b) ) Compressed air should be supplied to the upper part. An appropriate number of solenoid valves 116a, 116b, and 116c and globe valves 154a, 154b, 154c, and 154d are provided on the pipeline of the compressed air transfer pipe. And the solenoid valve (116a, 116b, 116c) and the air compressor 112 is connected to be operated under the control of the control means 114.

On the other hand, if you continue to use the fragrance apparatus (60, 100) according to the present invention for a long time, the phenomenon that the fragrance component scale sticks to the inner wall of the fragrance transfer pipe (44, 144a ~ 144d) or the container (40, 140a, 140b) appears Can be. If the fragrance component scale is left as it is, the container 40, 140a, 140b or the fragrance conveying pipes 44, 144a to 144d may be contaminated, thereby lowering the fragrance supply function, and the fragrance may be deformed. Therefore, the containers 40, 140a and 140b and the fragrance conveying pipes 44 and 144a to 144d need to be cleaned regularly to maintain a clean state.

10 is a diagram illustrating a principle of washing the fragrance transfer pipe 44 using the ultrasonic cleaning device 260 by way of example. Ultrasonic signal having a wavelength and a frequency suitable for the mixture of the fragrance component scale and the cleaning liquid 250 is injected into the fragrance transfer pipe 44, and the cleaning liquid 250 suitable for the generated fragrance component scale is supplied to the coil 242. When the vibrator 244 causes the ultrasonic vibrations and transmits the ultrasonic vibrations through the ultrasonic vibration nozzles 248 into the fragrance conveying tube 44, the fragrance component scale attached to the tube wall gradually leaves the tube wall. After sufficient time, the cleaning liquid including the fragrance component separated from the tube wall is discharged, and high-pressure air is blown into the fragrance conveying pipe 44 to blow out the fragrance scale residue remaining in the conduit.
