1-methylcyclopropene generation apparatus

A 1-methylcyclopropene generation apparatus comprising:

• a container a 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) precursor and a reaction solution, reacting with the 1-methylcyclopropene precursor to generate 1-methylcyclopropene, therein and having a pair of through-holes formed on an upper portion thereof;
• a main body comprising an accommodation space for accommodating the container;
• and
• a cap coupled to the upper portion of the main body in a state in which the container is accommodated in the accommodation space of the main body,
• wherein
• a recess region for accommodating a portion of the cap is formed in the upper portion of the main body, and a discharge terminal and an introduction terminal protruding upwardly are formed in the recess region,
• the cap comprises an upper frame, a lower frame, and a first tube and a second tube disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame,
• the lower frame comprises a pair of first tube connection terminals, disposed on one side and the other side, and a pair of second tube connection terminals disposed between the pair of first tube connection terminals,
• upper portions of the pair of first tube connection terminals are connected to one side of the first tube and one side of the second tube,
• upper portions of the pair of second tube connection terminals are connected to the other side of the first tube and the other side of the second tube,
• lower portions of the pair of first tube connection terminals are connected to the discharge terminal and the introduction terminal, respectively,
• the lower portions of the pair of second tube connection terminals are connected to the pair of through-holes, respectively,
• the introduction terminal is connected to a discharge hole formed in an outer side of the main body, and
• the 1-methylcyclopropene generation apparatus comprises a control unit configured to discharge a carrier gas to the discharge terminal to discharge a reactant, comprising the 1-methylcyclopropene generated in the container, through the discharge hole.
