度に含んだ空気が排出される。First, the inlet / outlet side solenoid valves 10 and 12 are opened, for example, at intervals of 5 minutes for 30 seconds, and drive the air pump 9 during that time. When the air is supplied to the air inflow chamber 7, the air uniformly passes through the packed bed 6 and rises to promote the emission of the fragrance from the entire pellet 5, and the air containing the fragrance component at a high concentration is discharged from the outlet 3 o. Is discharged.

ことで、より少ない香料で効果的な香り付けが行える。As shown in FIG. 2, the air containing the fragrance component is generated at a generation time t of about 30 seconds at a generation interval T of about 5 minutes.
By releasing the scent, effective scenting can be performed.
In other words, if the scent is continuously smelled, the nose is paralyzed and the scent effect is lost. However, by intermittently releasing the scent, effective scenting can be performed with less fragrance.

る。The generation interval T and the generation time t are adjusted according to the size of the target fragrance space. Further, since the fragrance emitted from the pellet 5 is affected by the temperature of the air, the temperature sensor 15 detects the ambient temperature in the box-shaped container main body 1 so that the temperature becomes constant (for example, 40).
° C), and the calorific value of the heater 14 is adjusted by the temperature controller 16. In addition, the air supply means 8, in particular, the pump 9 and the solenoid valve 10
If the length of the pipeline leading to is set to the capacity required for one injection and the air in the pipeline is heated during intermittent injection, the temperature of the air supplied to the air inflow chamber 7 can be accurately controlled. Further, when the content of the fragrance impregnated in the pellets 5 during operation decreases and the fragrance concentration in the released air decreases, the temperature set by the temperature controller 16 is increased, and the heat generation amount of the heater 14 is increased to increase the concentration. To keep it constant. Alternatively, the total generation amount of the fragrance is kept constant by lengthening the generation time t.
