FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning and aromatizing apparatus, and more particularly to a cleaning and aromatizing apparatus for a urinal. The present invention also relates to a releasing device for releasing a cleaning and aromatizing solution in a container. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The environmental sanitation is highly concerned with people, especially the toilet and urinal. With the frequent use of these sanitations, it is more and more important to keep them clean. The surface of toilet and urinal is not easy to keep hygiene because of long-term touch with excrements. Moreover, the sanitations get stink once the drains are clogged with excrements. All these make users and sweepers lots of inconvenience. So far, there are several kinds of detergents or cleaning and deodorization apparatuses which are put into the water tank of the toilet, such as the solid detergent or the liquid detergent with the releasing device thereof. While flushing, water with the dissolved or released detergent from the water tank will clean and deodorize the toilet. As to urinals, mothballs or aromatics are usually put on the top of drains at the bottom of the urinal for deodorization. However, with the use of mothballs and aromatics, the lessened one might drop down and get the drains blocked. Also, these aromatics can only deodorize but not clean the urinal. The dirt from urine can't be removed from the urinal without brushing, but it is waste of time and laboring to brush the urinal each time after using. Furthermore, the water tank of the common urinal is covered in the wall for saving space, only with a flushing sensor outside. Therefore, the detergent or cleaning and deodorization apparatus for toilet can't be used for this kind of urinal. [0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to develop an apparatus for cleaning and aromatizing the urinal to deal with the above problems encountered in the prior art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning and aromatizing apparatus, particularly the one applied to the urinal to clean and aromatize the urinal. [0005] According to an aspect of the present invention, the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus for a urinal is provided. The apparatus comprises a main body having a receiving space, a first opening and a second opening, a container containing a cleaning and aromatizing solution therein and disposed in the receiving space of said main body, and a releasing device having a connecting portion to be communicated with the container and a receiving plate for receiving the cleaning and aromatizing solution. Thereby, water flows into the apparatus from the first opening of the main body and carries the cleaning and aromatizing solution released on the receiving plate out of the apparatus through the second opening of the main body, so as to clean and aromatize the urinal. [0006] In an embodiment, the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus further comprises a water-flow plate extended upward from the first opening of the main body, which has check notches on the surface for reducing water pressure. [0007] In an embodiment, the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus further comprises a water-dispersing plate extended downward from the second opening of the main body. For example, the water-dispersing plate is a cambered plate with a wavy lower edge for staying close to the urinal and increasing the water flow area. [0008] In an embodiment, the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus further comprises a fixing portion to be fixed on the urinal. For example, the fixing portion is fixed on the urinal by an adhesive material directly or via a hanging piece. The hanging piece has plural dents for bending and is engaged with an engaging hole on the fixing portion. [0009] In an embodiment, the water-flowing plate, water-dispersing plate, or the hanging piece is made of a soft material. [0010] In an embodiment, the container has a concavity with plural ribs thereon. [0011] In an embodiment, the receiving plate of the releasing device is a movable plate for adjusting the releasing quantity of the cleaning and aromatizing solution. The receiving plate further comprises a shallow groove and a narrow-to-wide passage. [0012] In an embodiment, the releasing device further comprises a support for securing the container thereonto. [0013] According to another aspect of the present invention, a releasing device for releasing a cleaning and aromatizing solution in a container is provided. The releasing device comprises a support for securing the container, a connecting portion disposed inside the support and having an opening to be communicated with the container, a hole located at a bottom of the connecting portion, and a receiving plate for receiving the cleaning and aromatizing solution. Thereby the cleaning and aromatizing solution flows into the releasing device through the connecting portion and is released to the receiving plate through the hole. [0014] In an embodiment, the receiving plate is a movable plate for adjusting the releasing quantity of the cleaning and aromatizing solution. The receiving plate further comprises a shallow groove and a narrow-to-wide passage. [0015] The above objects and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art after reviewing the following detailed description and accompanying drawings, in which: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0016] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a cleaning and aromatizing apparatus applied to the urinal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; [0017] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; [0018] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; [0019] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the detailed structure of the releasing device of the cleaning and aromatizing apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
