[0043]

[0044] The realization of the object, functional characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0045] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0047] In addition, if there are descriptions such as "first", "second" in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement it. When the combination of the technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0048] The present invention provides an odor adjustment device, which can be installed in an air treatment device or an air conditioner indoor unit to release odor for adjusting the air odor. The odor adjustment device can implement a switch for an odor module, enabling a user to switch the odor module according to their own needs and improving the applicability of the odor module.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the odor adjustment device of the present invention, the odor adjustment device 10 includes an odor module 100, and the odor module 100 includes a base 110, a material bottle 120 disposed on the base 110, and a sleeve 130 sleeved on the outer periphery of the material bottle 120; wherein, the material bottle 120 is provided with ventilation holes 123; the sleeve 130 is provided with ventilation holes 133; and the sleeve 130 is relatively movable with respect to the material bottle 120, so that the odor module 100 can be switched between an open state and a closed state, where: in the open state, the ventilation holes 123 are communicated with the ventilation holes 133; in the closed state, the ventilation holes 123 are misaligned with the ventilation holes 133 and are blocked by the sleeve 130.

[0050] Specifically, the material bottle 120 of the odor module 100 is suitable for storing odor materials that can release odor. The odor materials can be natural fragrances, artificial fragrances, air fresheners, etc., which are materials capable of adjusting the air odor. The odor materials can be configured in the odor module 100 before leaving the factory by the manufacturer, or can be formulated by the user according to the odor they need.

[0051] The sleeve 130 is relatively movable with respect to the material bottle 120, so that the odor module 100 can be switched between an open state and a closed state. That is to say, either the sleeve 130 or the material bottle 120 can be set to be relatively movable with respect to the other. For example, the material bottle 120 is fixed to the base 110, and the sleeve 130 is movably installed on the base 110; or, the sleeve 130 is fixed to the base 110, and the material bottle 120 is movably installed on the base 110. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first design method described above is adopted, that is, the material bottle 120 is fixed to the base 110, and the sleeve 130 is movably installed on the base 110. As for the driving method of the sleeve 130, the sleeve 130 can be electrically driven to move by configuring a driving module 200; or, in other embodiments, the sleeve 130 can also be set to be manually driven by the user. There will be a detailed introduction later.

[0052] Such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the odor module 100 is in the closed state, the ventilation hole 123 of the material bottle 120 and the ventilation hole 133 of the sleeve 130 are arranged in a staggered manner, so that the ventilation hole 123 is blocked by the sleeve 130. The staggered manner of the ventilation hole 133 of the sleeve 130 and the ventilation hole 123 of the material bottle 120 can be a vertical stagger along the material bottle 120 or a circumferential stagger along the material bottle 120. Since the sleeve 130 blocks the ventilation hole 123 of the material bottle 120, the material bottle 120 stops releasing odor outward.

[0053] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, when the odor module 100 is in the open state, the ventilation hole 123 of the material bottle 120 and the ventilation hole 133 of the sleeve 130 are communicated, so that the odor released by the odor material in the material bottle 120 can diffuse outward from the ventilation hole 123 through the ventilation hole 133, thereby realizing the adjustment of the odor of the external environmental air.

[0054] Based on this, the user can choose to open or close the odor module 100 according to their own need to adjust the air odor. For example, when there is no need to adjust the air odor, the odor module 100 is switched to the closed state, and there is no need to take out the odor module 100, which can also avoid waste of the odor module 100. When it is necessary to adjust the air odor, the odor module 100 is switched to the open state again.

[0055] It should be noted that both the ventilation hole 123 of the material bottle 120 and the ventilation hole 133 of the sleeve 130 can be one or multiple. Taking the material bottle 120 as an example, as long as there is a ventilation hole 123, the odor can be emitted; if a faster or stronger odor emission is required, the number of ventilation holes 123 of the material bottle 120 can be appropriately increased.

[0056] Specifically here, the material bottle 120 includes a bottle body 121 and a bottle cap 122 that covers the mouth of the bottle body 121; among them, the bottle body 121 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 123, and the plurality of ventilation holes 123 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bottle body 121 to increase the ventilation area of the material bottle 120, thereby improving the efficiency of its odor release. Similarly, the barrel body 131 of the sleeve 130 of the odor module 100 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 133, and the plurality of ventilation holes 133 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the barrel body 131, which can increase the ventilation area of the sleeve 130 and the material bottle 120, thereby accelerating the dispersion of the odor. Optionally, the plurality of ventilation holes 123 of the material bottle 120 are arranged in an array along the circumference of the bottle body 121, and the plurality of ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130 are arranged in an array along the circumference of its barrel body 131, so as to facilitate the alignment or misalignment of the plurality of ventilation holes 123 of the material bottle 120 and the plurality of ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the odor module 100.

[0057] In the technical solution of the present invention, a sleeve 130 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the material bottle 120, a ventilation hole 123 is opened in the material bottle 120, and a ventilation hole 133 is provided on the sleeve 130. The sleeve 130 and the material bottle 120 are also arranged to be relatively movable, so that the odor module 100 can be switched between an open state and a closed state. Wherein, in the open state, the ventilation hole 133 communicates with the ventilation hole 123; in the closed state, the ventilation hole 133 is misaligned with the ventilation hole 123, so that the ventilation hole 123 is blocked by the sleeve 130. Therefore, the user can choose to open or close the odor module 100 according to their own needs for adjusting the air odor. When there is no need to adjust the air odor, the odor module 100 is switched to the closed state, and there is no need to take out the odor module 100, which can also reduce the waste of the odor module 100 and effectively improve the applicability of the odor module 100.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In an embodiment, a receiving groove 113 for receiving the material bottle 120 and the sleeve 130 is provided on the base 110 of the odor module 100; wherein: the material bottle 120 is fixedly connected to the base 110; the sleeve 130 is movably connected to the base 110, so that the sleeve 130 can be moved relative to the material bottle 120 to switch states.

[0059] Specifically, the base 110 includes a bottom plate 111 and side plates 112 provided on opposite sides of the bottom plate 111. A receiving groove 113 is formed by enclosing between the two side plates 112 and the bottom plate 111, and ventilation openings 113 are formed on opposite sides of the receiving groove 113. The material bottle 120 is fixed in the receiving groove 113; a fixing column 124 protrudes downward from the bottom of the material bottle 120, and the fixing column 124 passes through the sleeve 130 outside the material bottle 120 and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 111 of the base 110. The sleeve 130 is movably connected to the base 110. That is to say, by driving the sleeve 130 to move relative to the material bottle 120, the odor module 100 can be switched between an open state and a closed state. In the open state of the odor module 100, air flow enters the receiving groove from one of the ventilation openings 114 of the base 110, then passes through the odor module 100 and carries the odor released by it, and is blown out from the other ventilation hole 114 together.

[0060] As for the specific manner in which the sleeve 130 moves relative to the material bottle 120, in one alternative embodiment, the sleeve 130 is movable relative to the material bottle 120 in the vertical direction of the material bottle 120 to switch states. For example, the sleeve 130 is driven downward until the ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130 are opposite to and communicate with the air-permeable holes 123 of the material bottle 120, at which time the odor module 100 reaches the open state; then, the sleeve 130 is driven upward until the ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130 and the air-permeable holes 123 of the material bottle 120 are vertically misaligned, at which time the odor module 100 reaches the closed state. Of course, reverse operation is also possible.

[0061] Another embodiment in which the sleeve 130 moves relative to the material bottle 120 is that the sleeve 130 is rotatable relative to the material bottle 120 along the circumference of the material bottle 120 to switch states. For example, the sleeve 130 is driven to rotate forward until the ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130 are opposite to and communicate with the air-permeable holes 123 of the material bottle 120, at which time the odor module 100 reaches the open state; then, the sleeve 130 is driven to rotate in the reverse (or forward) direction until the ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130 and the air-permeable holes 123 of the material bottle 120 are circumferentially misaligned, at which time the odor module 100 reaches the closed state.

[0062] As Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, the first embodiment in which the sleeve 130 moves relative to the material bottle 120 is mainly taken as an example for introduction and description. That is, the sleeve 130 is movable relative to the material bottle 120 in the vertical direction of the material bottle 120 to switch states. Specifically, optionally, the sleeve 130 includes a barrel body 131 sleeved on the outer periphery of the material bottle 120 and provided with ventilation holes 133, and a support frame 132 arranged on the outer side surface of the barrel body 131; the support frame 132 is slidably mounted on the base 110 in the vertical direction so that the sleeve 130 is movable in the vertical direction.

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 10 shown, the support frame 132 includes a bottom support 1321 for supporting the barrel body 131, and side wings 1322 arranged around the bottom support 1321 and connected to the barrel body 131; the side wings 1322 are in sliding fit with the side plates 112 of the base 110. The support frame 132 can stably support the barrel body 131 so that the barrel body 131 is stably nested with the material bottle 120.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 11, Further, considering that the sleeve 130 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 113 of the base 110, it is not easy for the user or the driving device to push or pull the sleeve 130 to move. In view of this, the odor module 100 further includes a push-pull member 140 disposed outside the base 110. The push-pull member 140 is fixedly connected to the support frame 132 of the sleeve 130 to push or pull the sleeve 130 up and down through the push-pull member 140. Therefore, the driving device or the user can drive the push-pull member 140 to move up and down, so that the push-pull member 140 drives the sleeve 130 to move up and down, which is more convenient to operate.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Based on any of the above embodiments, to realize the automatic opening and closing of the odor module 100 by the odor adjustment device 10, optionally, the odor adjustment device 10 further includes a driving module 200. The driving module 200 is connected to the sleeve 130 of the odor module 100, and the driving module 200 is adapted to drive the sleeve 130 to move relative to the material bottle 120.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 12 , For the specific structural type of the driving device, it can be designed accordingly according to the predetermined movement mode of the sleeve 130. For example, in this embodiment, the driving module 200 is used to drive the sleeve 130 to move up and down relative to the material bottle 120. Therefore, optionally, the driving module 200 includes a motor 210 and a camshaft 220. Wherein, one end of the camshaft 220 is connected to the motor 210, and the other end of the camshaft 220 is correspondingly assembled with the sleeve 130 of the odor module 100. The camshaft 220 is adapted to convert its own rotational motion into the up-and-down movement of the sleeve 130.

[0067] Specifically, the driving module 200 is further configured with a motor seat 240. The motor 210 is installed on the motor seat 240 and fixed on the base 110 or other assembly structures (such as the outer box 300) through the motor seat 240. The motor shaft of the motor 210 is fixedly connected to one end of the camshaft 220, and the other end of the camshaft 220 extends to the odor module 100 and is assembled with the sleeve 130 of the odor module 100. When the driving device is turned on, the motor 210 drives the camshaft 220 to rotate, and the camshaft 220 converts its own rotational motion into the up-and-down movement of the sleeve 130.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 11, Further, the pusher 140 of the sleeve 130 has two push - pull arms 141 connected to the support frame 132 of the sleeve 130, and a connecting arm 142 connecting the two push - pull arms 141; the camshaft 220 passes through between the two push - pull arms 141 of the pusher 140 and is provided with a convex portion 221 corresponding to the connecting arm 142 of the pusher 140. When the camshaft 220 rotates to make its convex portion 221 abut downward against the connecting arm 142 (as Figure 6 shown), the sleeve 130 moves downward to the open state.

[0069] Specifically, during the process of the motor 210 driving the camshaft 220 to rotate, the convex portion 221 of the camshaft 220 rotates accordingly. When the convex portion 221 abuts downward against the connecting arm 142 of the pusher 140, the pusher 140 is forced to move downward. Then, the pusher 140 pulls the sleeve 130 downward, causing the sleeve 130 to move downward until the vent of the sleeve 130 corresponds to and communicates with the air - permeable hole 123 on the material bottle 120, and the odor module 100 reaches the open state.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , As for the odor module 100 to recover from the open state to the closed state, there can be various design methods. In one embodiment, the driving module 200 includes an elastic member 230. The elastic member 230 is disposed at the bottom of the sleeve 130 and connects the sleeve 130 and the base 110, and is used to drive the sleeve 130 to recover from the open state to the closed state when the convex portion 221 of the camshaft 220 separates from the connecting arm 142.

[0071] Specifically, during the process of the convex portion 221 of the camshaft 220 abutting downward against the pusher 140, the elastic member 230 is pressed on the bottom plate 111 of the base 110 by the sleeve 130, so that the elastic member 230 accumulates elastic potential energy. Therefore, when it is necessary to switch the odor module 100 back to the closed state, the camshaft 220 is driven to rotate until its convex portion 221 separates from the connecting arm 142 of the pusher 140. At this time, the elastic member 230 releases the elastic potential energy and pushes the sleeve 130 upward until the vent of the sleeve 130 is vertically misaligned with the air - permeable hole 123 on the material bottle 120, and the odor module 100 reaches the closed state.

[0072] Of course, there can be other implementation manners for the odor module 100 to recover from the open state to the closed state. For example, a cross - beam parallel to the connecting arm 142 of the pusher 140 is further provided above the connecting arm 142 of the pusher 140. When the convex portion 221 of the camshaft 220 rotates to abut against the cross - beam, the pusher 140 is pushed upward, and the odor module 100 can also be recovered from the open state to the closed state.

[0073] In other embodiments, different from the foregoing embodiments, the driving module 200 is configured to drive the sleeve 130 to rotate relative to the material bottle 120 along its circumferential direction. Optionally, the driving module 200 includes a motor 210, a driving gear connected to the motor 210, and a driven gear connected to the sleeve 130. The driven gear meshes with the driving gear, so that the driving gear is driven to rotate by the motor 210, the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate, and the driven gear drives the sleeve 130 to rotate.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 13 , based on any of the foregoing embodiments, the number of the odor modules 100 may be one, two, or more than two. At least two odor modules 100 may be configured to release odor materials with different odors, so that users can select their favorite odor module 100 according to their personal preferences. For example, one of the odor modules 100 is used to release the fragrance of flowers; another odor module 100 is used to release the fragrance of fruits or fresheners, etc., and no specific limitation is set here. That is to say, the odor adjustment device 10 is designed in a modular manner, so that the number of odor modules 100 that can be turned on or off by the user can be controlled according to the odor, and the applicability and reliability are higher.

[0075] In this embodiment, the odor adjustment device 10 includes at least two odor modules 100. Each odor module 100 may be individually configured with a driving module 200; alternatively, the at least two odor modules 100 may be arranged to be linked by a single driving module 200. Here, the latter embodiment may be preferably adopted. Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 13 , specifically, the at least two odor modules 100 are arranged along the length direction of the camshaft 220; the camshaft 220 is provided with a protrusion 221 corresponding to each odor module 100. The manner in which each protrusion 221 drives the push-pull member 140 of the corresponding odor module 100 to move can be referred to the foregoing description and will not be elaborated here. This way of assembling the driving module 200 and multiple odor modules 100 into one makes the odor adjustment device 10 more compact in structure and occupies less space.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 13 , further, at least two protrusions 221 on the camshaft 220 are arranged in a staggered manner along the length direction of the camshaft 220. Such a design can achieve that when one odor module 100 is opened, another odor module 100 is closed, so that when the odor material of one odor module 100 is exhausted, another odor material is opened; or, at least two different odors can be replaced.

[0077] For example, two of the misaligned protrusions 221 are respectively a first protrusion and a second protrusion; when the first protrusion presses down on the push-pull member 140 of one of the scent modules 100 to bring the scent module 100 to an open state, the second protrusion just separates from the push-pull member 140 of the other scent module 100, so that the scent module 100 reaches a closed state. Therefore, by adjusting the opening conditions of multiple scent modules 100, any two or more of the scent modules 100 can be combined to open, so as to realize a variety of different scent mixtures and blend scents.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , based on any of the above embodiments, for the shape and structure of the sleeve 130 of the scent module 100, the sleeve 130 can be designed in a straight tube shape or a conical shape, and the shape of the material bottle 120 should be able to fit and nest with the barrel 131 of the sleeve 130. Considering again the sealing problem of the scent module 100 in the closed state, optionally, the radius of the barrel 131 of the sleeve 130 is gradually increased from its bottom upwards, that is, it is designed in a conical shape; correspondingly, the bottle body 121 of the material bottle 120 fits and nests with the barrel 131 of the sleeve 130.

[0079] Specifically, when the scent module 100 is in the open state (as shown in Figure 6 ), since the sleeve 130 moves downward relative to the material bottle 120 by a certain distance, the material bottle 120 slightly protrudes from the opening of the sleeve 130, so that a relatively sufficient gap is formed between the inner wall of the sleeve 130 and the outer wall of the material bottle 120. The scent released by the material bottle 120 through the ventilation holes 123 can enter the ventilation holes 133 of the sleeve 130 from this gap, and then dissipate outwards from the ventilation holes 133. When the scent module 100 is switched to the closed state (as shown in Figure 4 ), the sleeve 130 is moved upwards to wrap the material bottle 120 inside, and the inner wall of the sleeve 130 is in close contact with the outer wall of the material bottle 120, and the gap between the two becomes extremely small or even has no gap. Thus, the material bottle 120 is completely shielded by the inner wall of the sleeve 130 through the ventilation holes 123, improving the sealing performance of the scent module 100 in the closed state.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 13 , based on any of the above embodiments, the scent adjustment device 10 further includes an outer box 300. The outer box 300 is provided with an air inlet 301, an air outlet 302 and a ventilation duct 340 connecting the air inlet 301 and the air outlet 302; the scent module 100 is installed in the ventilation duct 340. The scent adjustment device 10 further includes a fan module 400. The fan module 400 is installed in the box body 310 and is disposed opposite to the air inlet 301.

[0081] Specifically, the outer box 300 includes a box body 310 and a box cover 320 covering the top of the box body 310; an air outlet 302 is formed on one side surface of the box body 310; an air inlet plate 330 is provided on another side surface of the box body 310, the air inlet plate 330 is provided with an air inlet 301, and the fan module 400 is installed on the air inlet plate 330 and is located at the air inlet 301. When the odor adjustment device 10 works, the fan module 400 drives air to enter the ventilation duct 340 from the air inlet 301, and then blows out from the air outlet 302. During this process, if the odor module 100 is in an open state, the air flow in the ventilation duct 340 will pass through the odor module 100, and carry the odor released by the odor module 100 and blow it out together.

[0082] Optionally, the outer box 300 is provided with at least two air outlets 302, the ventilation duct 340 includes a main duct 341 communicated with the air inlet 301, and at least two sub-ducts 342 branched from the main duct 341, each sub-duct 342 is communicated with at least one air inlet 301; at least one odor module 100 is arranged in each sub-duct 342. The air flow in each sub-duct 342 enters from one side of the odor module 100 and exits from the other side of the odor module 100. The odor materials of the odor modules 100 arranged in at least two sub-ducts 342 can be different, so as to realize blowing out different odors from different sub-ducts 342, thereby improving the diversity of the functions of the odor adjustment device 10.

[0083] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to supplement or replace the odor material of the odor module 100, optionally, the bottle body 121 of the material bottle 120 of the odor module 100 has an opening, and the opening of the bottle body 121 extends outwards from the top of the outer box 300. With such a design, it is convenient for the user to open the bottle cap 122 of the material bottle 120 from the outside of the odor adjustment device 10, and the odor module 100 can be supplemented or replaced without opening the outer box 300 of the odor adjustment device 10.
