[0035] The following will further elaborate on the present invention in detail.

[0036] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, an aromatherapy timer in the shape of an incense stick includes an aromatherapy atomization device 1, a power source, a tubular body 2, and a timing control circuit 23;

[0037] The aromatherapy atomization device 1 is provided with a mist outlet 131 at the top, and a first contact is provided on one side of the mist outlet 131. The first contact is connected to the power source;

[0038] The tubular body 2 is detachably connected to the aromatherapy atomization device 1. The tubular body 2 is provided with a plurality of lighting lamps, and the plurality of lighting lamps are arranged in sequence along the extending direction of the tubular body 2;

[0039] A through hole 21 is provided in the middle of the tubular body 2, and the through hole 21 is correspondingly arranged with the mist outlet 131;

[0040] A second contact is provided at the bottom end of the tubular body 2. The second contact is provided on one side of the through hole 21, and the second contact and the first contact are correspondingly arranged. The second contact is respectively connected in parallel with the plurality of lighting lamps;

[0041] Wherein, when the tubular body 2 is connected to the aromatherapy atomizing device 1, the through hole 21 is correspondingly communicated with the mist outlet 131, and the first contact and the second contact are communicated to connect a plurality of lighting lamps with the power supply to emit light; the timing control circuit 23 is respectively connected to the plurality of lighting lamps, and is used for controlling the plurality of lighting lamps to sequentially disconnect the circuit from the end far away from the mist outlet 131 to the end close to the mist outlet 131 as the circuit connection time increases.

[0042] Specifically, the tubular body 2 is of an elongated structure, imitating the shape of the incense body usually used by people to burn incense, and a through hole 21 penetrating the whole body from top to bottom is provided in the middle. A plurality of lighting lamps are arranged on the outer peripheral side wall of the tubular body 2. When the first contact and the second contact are communicated, the power supply is connected in parallel with the plurality of lighting lamps. When the power is first turned on, all the lighting lamps are turned on and lit. As time goes by, the timing control circuit 23 controls the lighting lamps to gradually cut off the power and go out from top to bottom, vividly simulating the situation that the real incense body gradually shortens after burning.

[0043] When people start working, they first insert the tubular body 2 into the through hole 21 of the aromatherapy atomizing device 1, the first contact and the second contact are communicated, and a plurality of lighting lamps start to be turned on and lit. As time goes by, the lighting lamps gradually cut off the power and go out from top to bottom. As long as the appropriate number of lighting lamps and the time interval for each lighting lamp to cut off the power and go out respectively with time are set, people can casually look at the tubular body 2 during work, and through the length of the lit or extinguished lighting lamps, they can roughly know how long they have been working or how much time is still needed to complete the work plan.

[0044] The timers of the prior art usually display time in specific numbers or scale values, which bring people a linear concept of time. The display method is too rigid, not vivid enough, and lacks interactivity with users. Scientific research shows that cold data or scale values often produce invisible pressure on users. People will involuntarily have too much sense of oppression after looking at the data or scale values of the timer during work, and are more likely to make mistakes during work. If the timer has a jumping stopwatch data, its constantly jumping numbers make people even more unable to concentrate, causing users to be upset and reducing work efficiency.

[0045] In this embodiment, since the tubular body 2 does not directly display specific numbers or scale values, but the user roughly guesses the elapsed time by observing the length of the lit or extinguished lighting lamps, it brings more human care to users while giving time reminders, can more concretely visualize the concept of timing, is more humane, and increases the communication between people and objects. Users will not have invisible pressure and too much sense of oppression, can concentrate more during work, are not easy to make mistakes, and improve work efficiency.

[0046] When the tubular body 2 is connected to the aromatherapy atomization device 1, the through hole 21 communicates with the mist outlet 131 correspondingly. The aromatherapy smoke generated by the aromatherapy atomization device 1 flows upward through the through hole 21 in the middle of the tubular body 2 from the mist outlet 131, simulating the situation of real incense burning with curling smoke. Since the aromatherapy does not emit real smoke, it will not choke people and will not have an adverse impact on the user's body, which is healthier than burning real incense. The aromatherapy smell with a special aroma has an obvious positive effect on relieving anxiety. At the same time, the "Zen" artistic conception of the aromatherapy itself can also bring a peaceful atmosphere, enabling people to be more at ease and focused on the work at hand in the peaceful atmosphere, which helps to improve work efficiency.

[0047] In addition to its function of incense burning for sacrifice, the incense itself also has the functions of timing and creating a cultural atmosphere. The inspiration for the "aromatherapy timer" comes from the concept of time of "a stick of incense" in ancient China. In China, the ancients often used incense to time and regarded "a stick of incense" as a time unit, which was about half an hour. The applicant extracted the semantics of "a stick of incense" and combined the timing concept of the incense itself with the phenomenon of the incense releasing smoke when burning, and designed this product integrating the functions of "timing" and "aromatherapy".

[0048] Compared with the expression form of ordinary timers, the visual representation form of the present invention can reduce the cognitive load of users in processing information, help users better obtain and understand information, and can more vividly express this information through the changes of colors and lights. Moreover, the slender shape of the aromatherapy timer fits the shape of ancient incense, and the atomization effect produced also resembles the feeling of curling incense smoke, bringing people a very strong Zen artistic conception. Combined with the historical and cultural identity of the Chinese people, a peaceful and serene atmosphere is created under the dual effects.

[0049] An important function of the aromatherapy timer is the function of relieving fatigue and relaxing the body and mind brought by the aromatherapy. Psychologically, the aroma generated by spices and essential oils has a strong psychological hint on the human body through the sense of smell. After the fragrance of the essential oil enters the human body, it is sent to various organs of the body through blood circulation, promoting the metabolism of cells in the human body, stimulating the activity of the body, and making people's spirits in a relaxed state - this experience of psychological hint we have all experienced when strolling in a flower forest, in the countryside or even enjoying music and practicing yoga, and its positive effect should be affirmed. In terms of medical effects, the alcohol, aldehyde, ester, acid, and terpene components contained in aromatic substances can play functions in different parts after entering the human skin, blood vessels and internal tissues, and can achieve the effects of physical and mental relaxation, clear mind, and balanced endocrine.

[0050] The illuminating lamp is the LED lamp 22. Multiple LED lamps 22 are connected in sequence to form a lamp strip.

[0051] Specifically, the tubular body 2 is a hollow cylinder, and the light strip is provided on the outer side wall of the cylinder. By controlling the continuously shortening of the lighting length of the LED lights 22 on the light strip, the gradually shortening situation after the real perfume body burns can be vividly simulated.

[0052] The light-emitting color of each LED light 22 is different.

[0053] For example, the LED lights 22 are set as white, blue, yellow, red, etc. from top to bottom in sequence. After setting the lighting duration of each LED light 22, during the work process, the user only needs to casually see the light-emitting color of the currently uppermost LED light 22 on the tubular body 2, and then can generally know his own working duration, which is more convenient to use. At the same time, it also increases the fun, reduces the work pressure, and helps to maintain a good working state.

[0054] The tubular body 2 is provided with different length specifications, and each length specification respectively corresponds to the tubular body 2 with different lighting durations controlled by the timing control circuit 23.

[0055] In this embodiment, the tubular body 2 is provided with 4 length specifications, and the 4 length specifications from long to short respectively correspond to the timing lengths of 60 minutes, 45 minutes, 30 minutes, and 15 minutes. According to different timing needs, the user can conveniently select through different length specifications of the tubular body 2, which can meet the various timing requirements of different users.

[0056] The aromatherapy atomization device 1 is hinged with a storage box 3, and the storage box 3 is used to store the tubular body 2.

[0057] The storage box 3 is arranged below the aromatherapy atomization device 1, forming a rotary opening and closing box body structure with the hinge shaft 31 as the rotation axis, which can provide a certain internal space and maintain the integrity of the product. The storage box 3 uses aluminum alloy as the main material, has a dense oxide film on the surface, and is sprayed with metal paint on the surface to extend the service life, and can effectively reduce the damage caused by external collisions and protect the tubular body 2 stored inside.

[0058] The aromatherapy atomization device 1 is internally provided with an atomization pool 13 and a controller 17. An ultrasonic atomizer 14 is arranged in the atomization pool 13. The ultrasonic atomizer 14 is respectively connected to the power supply and the controller 17, and the mist outlet 131 is arranged at the top of the atomization pool 13.

[0059] In this embodiment, the power supply is a rechargeable battery 11, which is arranged inside the aromatherapy atomization device 1. The charging port 111 is located on the left side of the aromatherapy atomization device 1, and a charging indicator light is arranged above the charging port 111.

[0060] The liquid inlet 121 is equipped with a push sensor. Gently pressing it with a finger will open the liquid inlet 121 hidden inside the aromatherapy atomization device 1 to add fragrance essence. The liquid inlet 121 is connected to the water tank 12, and the fragrance essence reaches the water tank 12 through the liquid inlet 121. After adding the aromatherapy, gently pressing again can hide the liquid inlet 121 again. The water tank 12 is connected to the atomization pool 13 through a water control valve 163 to control the water volume in the atomization pool 13. The water control valve 163 can be manual or automatic.

[0061] The ultrasonic atomizer 14 generates a frequency of 1.7 MHZ through high-frequency oscillation, atomizing the fragrance essence in the atomization pool 13 into ultra-fine particles of 1-5 microns. To control the amount of mist generated in the atomization pool 13, a mist amount controller and a humidity controller are provided inside the aromatherapy atomization device 1.

[0062] One side of the ultrasonic atomizer 14 is provided with a blower 15. The blower 15 is connected to the atomization pool 13 and is used to blow the ultra-fine particles generated in the atomization pool 13 from the atomization pool 13 through the mist outlet 131 into the through hole 21 of the tubular body 2 and flow upward into the external air, so as to achieve the effects of creating a comfortable environment, relieving fatigue, and enhancing concentration.

[0063] A one-way valve 161 is provided at the mist outlet 131, and the one-way valve 161 is connected to the controller 17. The one-way valve 161 is normally in a normally closed state. When the ultrasonic atomizer 14 is started, the controller 17 will start and open the one-way valve 161 to prevent the liquid in the water tank 12 from flowing out of the mist outlet 131 of the atomizer due to the inclination of the aromatherapy atomization device 1 during transportation.

[0064] A detection device is provided at the bottom of the atomization pool 13. The detection device is connected to the controller 17 and is used to detect the liquid content in the atomization pool 13. Specifically, the detection device is an induction sheet 162. When the induction sheet 162 detects that the liquid level in the atomization pool 13 is too low, it sends a signal to the controller 17, and the controller 17 stops the operation of the ultrasonic generating device.

[0065] The timing control circuit 23 includes multiple time relays. The multiple time relays are respectively connected to multiple lighting lamps in one-to-one correspondence. The time relays are used to control the lighting lamps to cut off power with a time delay.

[0066] The timing control circuit 23 can adopt various control methods of existing technologies, such as electronic circuits, programmable controllers, etc. In this embodiment, an electrified delay type time relay is used for control. Specifically: multiple time relays with the same number as the LED lamps 22 are respectively connected in parallel to the circuit, and each LED lamp 22 is controlled by a time relay. The electrified delay times of the multiple time relays increase sequentially from top to bottom, so as to achieve the purpose that the LED lamps 22 go out sequentially from top to bottom as time passes.

[0067] As Figure 5 shown, taking the number of LED lights 22 and the number of time relays both being 6 as an example, the power-on delay times of the time relays from top to bottom are set to 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, and 60 minutes respectively. When the tubular body 2 is inserted into the aromatherapy atomization device 1, the first contact and the second contact are connected ( Figure 5 switch F in it is turned on), and the 6 LED lights 22 of the light strip are powered on and start to light up. After the 6 time relays are powered on, they start to delay. After 10 minutes, the time relay at the top layer of the tubular body 2 finishes delaying, and outputs a signal to cut off the power of the top layer LED light 22, and the lighting length of the light strip decreases by a section downward.

[0068] After 20 minutes, the time relay on the second layer finishes delaying, and outputs a signal to cut off the power of the second layer LED light 22, and the lighting length of the light strip continues to decrease by a section downward.

[0069] And so on, until after 60 minutes, the sixth LED light 22 is cut off from power and goes out, and the entire light strip goes out, simulating that the whole real incense body has burned out.

[0070] During this process, the user only needs to casually look at the tubular body 2 to roughly understand their working hours.

[0071] If a shorter time interval is needed, the number of LED lights 22 and time relays can be increased, and a shorter power-on delay duration can be set to achieve a more hierarchical lighting and extinguishing effect, approaching the situation of real incense body burning more closely.

[0072] The present invention aims to create a relatively relaxed and quiet environment, improve the concentration of users during work, thereby improving their work efficiency, reasonably allocate time, and relieve the anxiety psychological phenomenon caused by time urgency, etc.

[0073] Working process (the lengths of each tubular body 2 have been pre-matched with the timing control circuit 23):

[0074] The first step: Open the liquid inlet 121 of the aromatherapy timer;

[0075] The second step: Add fragrance to the liquid inlet 121, and then close the liquid inlet 121;

[0076] The third step: Open the storage box 3 and take out the tubular body 2 with a length corresponding to the required concentration time;

[0077] Step 4: Insert the taken-out tubular body 2 into the middle through-hole 21 of the aromatherapy atomization device 1, press the switch of the aromatherapy atomization device 1, and the atomized ultra-fine fragrance particles flow out from the top of the tubular body 2. At the same time, the circuit of the tubular body 2 is connected, and the LED lamp 22 of the tubular body 2 starts to shine, and the time relay starts to be energized for delay;

[0078] Step 5: Enter the focused time to work.

[0079] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be equivalent replacement methods and are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
