The temperature of the delivery air at the outlet 4 is detected by the temperature sensor 21 (step S1), and then it is determined whether or not the temperature of the delivery air at the outlet is equal to or higher than a first set temperature (step S2). Here, the first set temperature is determined by the honeycomb-shaped duct 6.
The temperature is suitable for evaporating the fragrance in the inside (depending on the kind of the fragrance, it is appropriate to be about 30 ° C. to 35 ° C. where the person does not feel hot even when touching the honeycomb-shaped duct 6). If the result of determination in step S2 is that the air temperature at the outlet is equal to or higher than the first set temperature, energization of the heater 20 is not turned off (step S3), and the air temperature at the outlet is not equal to or higher than the first set temperature. Turns on the power supply to the heater 20 (step S4). In this way, the temperature of the air at the outlet and thus the temperature of the honeycomb duct 6 are controlled.

することができる。Subsequently, the temperature of the inflow air is detected by the second temperature sensor 22 (step S5), and then it is determined whether or not the inflow air temperature is equal to or higher than the second set temperature (step S5).
6). When the inflow air temperature is low, the vibration surface of the ultrasonic vibrator 9
At 12, the particles of the fragrance atomized become large, and the fragrance particles tend to adhere to the wall surface of the honeycomb-shaped duct 6. Second
The set temperature is a temperature at which particles of the fragrance do not adhere to the wall surface of the honeycomb-shaped duct 6. If the result of determination in step S5 is that the inflow air temperature is equal to or higher than the second set temperature, the pump 15 is not operated normally (step S7), and if the inflow air temperature is not equal to or higher than the second set temperature, the discharge amount of the pump 15 Is reduced (step S8). When this execution is completed, the process returns to the first step S1. In this way,
When the operation of the pump 15 is controlled and the discharge amount is reduced in step S8, the fragrance particles to be atomized adhere to the wall surface of the honeycomb-shaped duct 6 even when the inflow air temperature is equal to or lower than the second set temperature. It changes to a size that does not. If the perfume concentration in the air sent from the outlet 4 decreases due to the decrease in the supply amount of the perfume, and it is difficult to perceive the scent of the perfume, the rotation speed of the blower 8 is reduced to send the perfume. It is possible to reduce the amount of air and control so that the concentration of the fragrance in the air becomes appropriate.

Temperature. And when the inflow air temperature is considerably low and it is difficult to atomize the usual amount of fragrance into small particles by the ultrasonic vibrator 9, the pump 15 is controlled to reduce the supply amount of fragrance.
In the first embodiment, the inflow air temperature is set to the second
When the temperature was not higher than the set temperature, the discharge amount of the pump 15 was reduced. However, at this time, the pump 15 is maintained in the normal operation, and the amplitude or the frequency of the ultrasonic vibrator 9 is increased, so that the fragrance supplied by the pump 15 is completely atomized into small particles. May be controlled as follows.

る所望の温度に保つことができる。According to the first aspect of the present invention, a heated honeycomb duct is disposed upstream or downstream of the ultrasonic vibrator. Therefore, when the fragrance atomized on the vibration surface of the ultrasonic vibrator passes through a heated honeycomb-shaped duct or flows with heated air, it is all vaporized and diffused into the air, and the air outlet Sent from. Therefore, the fragrance, which has been atomized but not vaporized, does not drop near the outlet and adheres to an object near the outlet, and the fragrance is used efficiently. In the fragrance device of the present invention described in claim 2 or 3, atomization on the vibrating surface of the ultrasonic vibrator is completely performed, and the temperature of the delivery air is controlled to an appropriate temperature so that the atomized fragrance is completely removed. The air containing the fragrance vaporized into the air and discharged from the outlet can be maintained at a desired temperature at which the fragrance of the fragrance can be felt most comfortably.
