A second light-emitting unit 10 is pasted and fixed on the inner wall of the movable lamp housing 3. The speaker 8 is installed inside the speaker mounting cylinder 7.

[0030] The fragrance stick is not shown in the diagram. It is a commercially available product and can be purchased directly. Users can choose the scent according to their preferences. A circular decorative cover 25 is snapped onto the top of the speaker mounting tube 7. The circular decorative cover 25 has several elongated vent holes 26 arranged in a circular array. The second light-emitting unit 10 is an LED light-emitting module. The second light-emitting unit 10 is electrically connected to the vehicle body controller, and the speaker 8 is electrically connected to the vehicle music system. To replace the fragrance stick, simply remove the circular decorative cover 25.

[0031] A circular decorative panel 11 is attached to the top of the lamp housing 2. The circular decorative panel 11 is made of transparent material, allowing users to see the light on the lamp housing 2 through it, thus enhancing the sense of luxury.

[0032] Furthermore, the lifting device includes a second mounting plate 12, a reduction motor 13, a linear slide rail 14, a connecting bracket 15, and a belt 16. The second mounting plate 12 has a vertical mounting plate and a horizontal mounting plate. The horizontal mounting plate on the second mounting plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket inside the main instrument panel by bolt assembly. The linear slide rail 14 is fixed on the side of the vertical mounting plate facing the outer casing 1 and is arranged in the vertical direction. The connecting bracket 15 is mounted on the linear slide rail 14 by a slider. The reduction motor 13 is fixed on the other side of the vertical mounting plate. The output shaft of the reduction motor 13 passes through the vertical mounting plate. It can be understood that a through hole is opened on the vertical mounting plate for the output shaft to pass through. A drive pulley 17 is fixed on the output shaft of the reduction motor 13. A driven pulley 18 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the vertical mounting plate. The drive pulley 17 is connected to the driven pulley 18 by the belt 16. The connecting bracket 15 is also fixedly connected to the belt 16 by a connecting block 19. The driven pulley 18 is located directly below the driving pulley 17, and the belt 16 is parallel to the linear guide rail 14.

A circular clearance hole is provided on the third mounting plate 23 for the wires of the speaker 8, the first light-emitting unit 6, and the second light-emitting unit 10 to pass through.

[0034] The horizontal plate 21 on the connecting bracket 15 is used to compensate for the horizontal position so that the third mounting plate 23 can be opposite to the first mounting plate 9. The length of the second vertical plate 22 is greater than the height that the music and fragrance component can be raised. That is to say, when the music and fragrance component is raised to the limit position, it is necessary to ensure that the horizontal plate 21 will not contact the lower end of the outer shell 1.

[0035] The working principle of this invention is as follows: According to the user's personalized settings, when the vehicle door is opened after unlocking, the body controller detects the door opening signal and controls the first light-emitting unit 6 and the second light-emitting unit 10 to emit light. At the same time, it controls the reduction motor 13 to work. The shaft of the reduction motor 13 rotates counterclockwise and drives the connecting block 19 to rise through the belt 16. Through the sliding cooperation between the slider and the linear slide rail 14, the connecting block 19, along with the connecting bracket 15, rises vertically. It should be noted that the upper end of the linear slide rail 14 has a first touch switch, and the lower end of the linear slide rail 14 has a second touch switch. Neither the first nor the second touch switch is shown in the figure. Both the first and second touch switches are electrically connected to the body controller. When the slider contacts the first touch switch, the first touch switch sends an electrical signal to the body controller, and the body controller controls the reduction motor 13 to stop working. At this time, the music and fragrance component rises to a preset height.

[0036] When a user plays music using the in-vehicle music system, speaker 8 emits sound simultaneously along with other speakers in the driver's cabin.

[0037] When you need to replace the fragrance stick, simply remove the round decorative cap 25, take out the old fragrance stick, and insert the new fragrance stick.

[0038] When the vehicle controller detects that the vehicle is off and the doors are locked, it controls the geared motor 13 to rotate clockwise. The belt 16 drives the connecting block 19 downwards. When the slider contacts the second touch switch, the second touch switch sends an electrical signal to the vehicle controller, which then controls the geared motor 13 to stop operating. At this time, the music and fragrance assembly retracts into the housing 1, and its top surface is flush with the surface of the main dashboard. The first light-emitting unit 6 and the second light-emitting unit 10 stop emitting light.

[0039] Of course, users can also manually control the raising and lowering of the music and fragrance components, the turning on and off of the ambient lighting, and the color of the ambient lighting through the central control screen inside the car.

[0040] The above description, based on the embodiments shown in the figures, details the structure, features, and effects of the present invention. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the figures. Any changes made in accordance with the concept of the present invention, or equivalent embodiments modified to have equivalent changes, that do not exceed the spirit covered by the specification and figures, should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
