PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diffusion device and a diffusion method of an aroma component capable of diffusing the aroma component from an aroma component carrier by using air flow.SOLUTION: An aroma component is diffused by contacting air flow with an aroma component carrier 50 to which an aroma component is impregnated. The air flow is generated by vibration of a diagram 24 of a speaker unit 20 as a vibration generation means. Frequency of reproduction sound by the speaker unit 20 is selected from 2 modes, a first mode which dose not attenuate both of higher tone than a prescribed frequency and tone less than the prescribed frequency and a second mode which attenuates higher tone than the prescribed frequency and does not attenuate the tone less than the prescribed frequency.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】気流を利用して芳香成分担持体から芳香成分を拡散させることのできる芳香成分の拡散装置及び拡散方法を提供する。【解決手段】気流を芳香成分を含浸させた芳香成分担持体50に接触させて芳香成分を拡散させる。気流を、起振手段としてのスピーカーユニット20の振動板24の振動によって生じさせる。スピーカーユニット20による再生音の周波数を、所定周波数より高い音及びその所定周波数以下の音の両方を減衰させない第1モードと、所定周波数より高い音を減衰させて所定周波数以下の音を減衰させない第2モードと、の2つのモードから選択する。【選択図】図2
