Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aromatherapy technology, and in particular to a flip-top aromatherapy diffuser. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of aromatherapy technology, the application scenarios of aromatherapy diffusers are becoming more and more diversified. They are no longer limited to traditional scenarios such as homes, public indoor places or cars, but can also be carried around for use anytime.

[0003] Currently, in the design of most aroma diffusers on the market, the atomizer outlet for emitting aroma is exposed to the outside without an opening and closing mechanism. As a result, when the diffuser is tilted, carried around, or transported, issues such as oil leakage, dust contamination, and blockage at the atomizer outlet can easily occur. This not only reduces the user experience but also shortens the lifespan of the aroma diffuser, thus requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to prevent oil leakage, dust pollution, and clogging of the aroma diffuser, and to improve the user experience and extend the life of the aroma diffuser, this application provides a flip-top aroma diffuser.

[0005] The above-mentioned inventive objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A flip-top aroma diffuser includes a main unit housing and a cover. An atomizing component is installed inside the main unit housing. The air outlet of the atomizing component is located on the surface of the main unit housing. The main unit housing and the cover are movably connected. When the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, the cover blocks the air outlet of the atomizing component.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover is movably connected to the main unit shell, which is used to open and cover the atomizing component in the main unit shell. When the aroma diffuser is not in use, the cover is closed with the main unit shell, blocking the air outlet of the atomizing component. This can prevent dust and impurities from entering the aroma diffuser from the air outlet of the atomizing component. Due to the blockage, the air outlet of the atomizing component is less likely to leak oil. The cover also plays a certain role in preventing essential oil leakage, thereby improving the user experience and extending the service life of the aroma diffuser.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a blocking structure, which blocks the air inlet of the atomizing component when the main housing and the cover are in a closed state.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet of the atomizing component is used to provide airflow so that the aromatherapy gas inside the atomizing component can be dispersed from the air outlet of the atomizing component. When the aromatherapy diffuser is tilted or shaken, there is also a possibility of essential oil backflow and seepage at the air inlet of the atomizing component. Therefore, the blocking structure can block the air inlet of the atomizing component, and the essential oil is not easy to seep back into the internal components of other aromatherapy diffusers, thus improving the service life of the aromatherapy diffuser.

[0010] Optionally, the atomizer protrudes from the surface of the main unit housing and has an atomization hole; the cover has a recessed receiving cavity, and when the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, the atomizer is located in the receiving cavity.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a recessed receiving cavity is set in the cover, so that after the cover is closed with the main unit shell, the receiving cavity provides storage space for the atomizer protrusion. The edge of the cover forming the storage space can also play a certain role in blocking aromatherapy essential oils.

[0012] Optionally, the cover includes a flexible plug installed within the receiving cavity, and the atomizing assembly includes an atomizer. When the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, the plug blocks the atomizing hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the receiving cavity also provides sufficient installation space and conditions for the plug. When the cover and the main unit shell are closed, that is, when the aroma diffuser is not working, the plug is flexible, so that the plug deforms and squeezes the inner wall of the atomizing hole when sealing the atomizing hole, thereby providing a better sealing effect for the atomizing hole.

[0014] Optionally, the atomizer has an air inlet, and an air pump is installed inside the main unit housing. A flexible air guide tube connects the output end of the air pump to the air inlet. When the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, the blocking structure squeezes the air guide tube, and the channel of the air guide tube is closed. When the cover is in an open state, the air guide tube is open.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the air pump inputs airflow into the atomizer through the air guide tube and air inlet, so that the aromatherapy gas can be emitted from the atomization hole. When the main unit casing and cover are closed, that is, when the aromatherapy diffuser is not working, the air guide tube is flexible, and the blocking structure can compress the air guide tube until the channel is closed, forming a blocking effect between the air pump and the atomizer. This prevents the essential oil that seeps out of the air inlet from flowing back to the air pump, thus protecting the air pump and extending the service life of the aromatherapy diffuser.

[0016] Optionally, the blocking structure includes a pressing block and a limiting plate. The limiting plate is fixed inside the main unit housing, and the pressing block is fixed through the limiting plate and protrudes from the surface of the main unit housing. When the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, the cover presses against the pressing block, and the pressing block squeezes the air guide tube, causing the air guide tube to deform and close the channel. When the cover is in an open state, the air guide tube returns to its original shape and exerts a force on the pressing block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user is not using the aroma diffuser, the cover and the main unit shell are closed. At this time, the pressing block protruding from the surface of the main unit shell is moved into the main unit shell by the force of the cover, thereby squeezing the air guide tube inside the main unit shell, so that the air guide tube channel is closed and the essential oil leakage and backflow are prevented. When the user opens the cover, the pressing block loses the force of the cover and is instead subjected to the force of the air guide tube deformation recovery, so that the pressing block protrudes from the surface of the main unit shell and restores the air guide tube to the open state.

[0018] Optionally, when the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, the blocking structure is in a compressed deformation state and squeezes the air guide tube; when the cover is in an open state, the blocking structure recovers its deformation and the air guide tube is in a conductive state.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the blocking structure as an elastic structure, the force applied to the blocking structure is applied by closing the cover, so that the air inlet of the atomizer is blocked when the cover of the aroma diffuser is closed. When the cover is opened and the aroma diffuser is working, the blocking structure returns to its natural state, and the air duct can also guide the airflow normally. This design not only makes it convenient for users to use, but also prevents essential oil leakage and backflow.

[0020] Optionally, the cover is hollow, and a Hall effect magnet is fixed inside the main unit housing, and a Hall effect sensor is fixed inside the main unit housing; magnetic attraction components are installed inside both the cover and the main unit housing. When the main unit housing and the cover are in a closed state, a relative force is generated between the magnetic attraction components inside the cover and the magnetic attraction components inside the main unit housing, and the Hall effect sensor sends a power off signal.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, magnetic components are installed in both the main unit casing and the cover, making the closed state of the cover and the main unit casing more stable when closed. Since the distance between the Hall effect magnet and the Hall effect sensor changes when the cover is opened and closed, the Hall effect sensor can trigger different electrical signals according to the magnitude of the magnetic field, thereby realizing the recognition of the opening and closing of the cover and further controlling the automatic operation and stop of the aroma diffuser.

[0022] Optionally, a lithium battery is installed inside the main unit housing, and the battery is electrically connected to a control motherboard, which is electrically connected to an atomizer, an air pump, and a Hall sensor.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the lithium battery is electrically connected to the control motherboard, Hall sensor, air pump, and atomizer to control the operation and shutdown of the atomizer. The presence of the lithium battery frees the aroma diffuser from dependence on traditional power outlets, allowing users to use it in different indoor and outdoor locations, thus improving its convenience and flexibility.

[0024] Optionally, a shock-absorbing pad is fixed to the bottom of the main unit housing.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the shock-absorbing pads can effectively reduce the vibration noise generated by the aroma diffuser during operation and enhance the stability of the aroma diffuser.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. When the aroma diffuser is not in use, the cover and the main body shell are closed, blocking the air outlet of the atomizing component. This prevents dust and impurities from entering the aroma diffuser from the air outlet of the atomizing component. Due to the blockage, the air outlet of the atomizing component is less likely to leak oil. The cover also plays a certain role in preventing essential oil leakage, thereby improving the user experience and extending the service life of the aroma diffuser.

[0028] 2. By setting the blocking structure as an elastic structure, the force applied to the blocking structure is applied by closing the cover, so that the air inlet of the atomizer is blocked when the cover of the aroma diffuser is closed. When the cover is open and the aroma diffuser is working, the blocking structure returns to its natural state, and the air duct can also guide the airflow normally. This design not only makes it convenient for users to use, but also prevents essential oil leakage and backflow.

[0029] 3. The pressing block protruding from the surface of the main unit casing moves into the interior of the main unit casing under the force of the cover, thereby squeezing the air duct inside the main unit casing, closing the air duct channel and preventing the essential oil from leaking back.

[0035] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this application clearer, the following description is provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-4 The present application will be further described in detail with reference to Embodiments 1 and 2. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.

[0036] Embodiment 1 of this application discloses a flip-top aroma diffuser. The flip-top aroma diffuser includes a main body shell 1, a cover 2, and an atomizing component. The main body shell 1 and the cover 2 are hinged together by a hinge shaft (not shown in the figure). The cover 2 rotates around the hinge shaft to close and open the top of the main body shell 1. The atomizing component is fixed inside the main body shell 1. The gas outlet end of the atomizing component protrudes from the top of the main body shell 1, and the top of the protruding part has an atomizing hole 31 for dispersing aroma diffuser gas.

[0037] The main unit housing 1 has an atomizing bracket and an air pump 6 bracket fixed inside. The atomizing component is installed in the atomizing bracket, and the air pump 6 is installed in the air pump 6 bracket. A lithium battery 5 is installed between the air pump 6 bracket and the atomizing bracket. A control board 13 for controlling the operation of the atomizer 3 and the air pump 6 is installed at the bottom of the atomizing bracket. The control board 13 is electrically connected to the battery, and the atomizer 3 and the air pump 6 are also electrically connected.

[0038] The atomizing assembly includes an atomizer 3 and an essential oil bottle 4. The atomizer 3 protrudes from the top of the main unit housing 1, and an atomization port 31 is opened on the top of the atomizer 3. The essential oil bottle 4 is located below the atomizer 3 and is threadedly connected to the atomizer 3. The atomizer 3 has an air inlet located on the side wall of the atomizer 3. A pipe adapter is installed at the air inlet, and the pipe adapter is fixedly connected to an air guide tube 7. The air guide tube 7 is made of fluorosilicone rubber, which is flexible and can automatically recover its natural state after being compressed and deformed. The end of the air guide tube 7 away from the pipe adapter extends out of the atomizer bracket and is fixed and connected to the output end of the air pump 6. The air guide tube 7 is located inside the main unit housing 1 and at the top of the air pump 6 bracket. The air pump 6 outputs airflow to the atomizer 3 through the air guide tube 7 and the air inlet, so that the aromatherapy gas in the atomizer 3 is dispersed from the atomization port 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, the blocking structure 8 includes a pressing block 81 and a limiting plate 82. Both the pressing block 81 and the limiting plate 82 are located directly above the air duct 7. The pressing block 81 and the limiting plate 82 are slidably connected. The limiting plate 82 has a fixing hole, which is fixed to the pin on the top of the main unit housing 1. The limiting plate 82 also has a limiting hole, through which the pressing block 81 passes and protrudes from the surface of the main unit housing 1. When the main unit housing 1 and the cover 2 are in a closed state, the cover 2 presses against the pressing block 81, and the pressing block 81 squeezes the air duct 7 to close the channel of the air duct 7. When the cover 2 is opened, the pressing block 81 loses the force of the cover 2, the air duct 7 deforms and restores its shape, and exerts an upward force on the pressing block 81, causing the pressing block 81 to move upward and protrude again from the surface of the main unit housing 1.

[0040] The cover 2 is hollow and has a recessed cavity 21 on one side of the top of the main unit housing 1. The inner wall of the cavity 21 is arc-shaped. The cover 2 also includes a flexible columnar block 9. The block 9 is made of fluorosilicone material and is flexible. The block 9 is fixed to the bottom of the cavity 21. When the main unit housing 1 and the cover 2 are in the closed state, the atomizer 3 is located in the cavity 21 and the block 9 blocks the atomization hole 31. When the block 9 blocks the atomization hole 31, the block 9 deforms and exerts a force on the inner wall of the atomization hole 31.

[0041] A Hall effect magnet 11 and a Hall effect sensor 12 are fixed inside the main unit housing 1. The Hall effect sensor 12 is electrically connected to the control board 13. Magnetic components 10 are installed inside both the cover 2 and the main unit housing 1. The magnetic components 10 are magnets. When the main unit housing 1 and the cover 2 are closed, a relative force is generated between the magnetic components 10 inside the cover 2 and the magnetic components 10 inside the main unit housing 1. When the cover 2 is opened and closed, the distance between the Hall effect magnet 11 and the Hall effect sensor 12 changes. Therefore, the Hall effect sensor 12 sends a sensing signal to the control board 13 according to the opening and closing of the cover 2 to control the power off and start signals of the atomizer 3 and the air pump 6.

[0042] The bottom of the main unit casing 1 is fixed with a shock-absorbing pad 14, which is made of EVA material.

[0043] This application embodiment discloses a flip-top aroma diffuser. The implementation principle is as follows: When the user finishes using the aroma diffuser or when the diffuser is not in use, the cover 2 is flipped to close the top of the main unit housing 1. When the cover 2 and the main unit housing 1 are closed, the receiving cavity 21 covers the atomizer 3, and the block 9 inside the receiving cavity 21 seals the atomizing hole 31 at the top of the atomizer 3. Simultaneously, the cover 2 applies force to the pressing block 81 protruding from the top of the main unit housing 1, causing the pressing block 81 to move downwards and squeeze the lower air guide tube 7, closing the channel of the air guide tube 7. At this time, the Hall sensor 12 and the Hall sensing magnet 11 are relatively close, and the Hall sensor 12 sends a sensing signal to the control main board 13. The control main board 13 then controls the atomizer 3 and the air pump 6 to stop working.

[0044] When the user uses the aroma diffuser, flipping open the cover 2 removes it from the top of the main unit casing 1. The block 9 moves away from the atomizing hole 31. After the pressing block 81 loses the force of the cover 2, it is pushed back out of the main unit casing 1 by the force of the deformed air guide tube 7, and the air guide tube 7 returns to its conductive state. Simultaneously, because the cover 2 is flipped open, the Hall sensor 12 senses a weakening of the magnetic field of the Hall sensor magnet 11, and therefore sends a signal to the control board 13 to control the air pump 6 and the atomizer 3 to start working. This achieves the mode where the flip-top aroma diffuser automatically stops when closed and automatically starts when the cover 2 is opened.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The structural difference between Example 2 and Example 1 lies in the following: a blocking structure 8 is fixed to the top of the air pump 6 bracket. The blocking structure 8 is elastically configured. This elasticity includes situations where the blocking structure 8 itself is composed of a deformable and recoverable elastic material, and situations where the blocking structure 8 is a stretchable elastic combination structure, such as a combination of a compression spring and a protrusion. The deformation of the compression spring allows the protrusion to move downwards and compress the air duct 7, thus closing the passage of the air duct 7. When the cover 2 is open, the elastic force of the compression spring does work on the protrusion, causing the protrusion to extend out of the surface of the main unit housing 1 again. Therefore, when the main unit housing 1 and the cover 2 are in the closed state, the blocking structure 8 elastically compresses and squeezes the air duct 7; when the cover 2 is in the open state, the blocking structure 8 is in its natural state and the air duct 7 is in a conductive state.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any feature disclosed in this specification (including the abstract and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is only one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
