Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioning, in particular to an aromatherapy component, an air conditioner and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, when purchasing air conditioners, consumers will not only pay attention to the cooling and heating functions of air conditioners, but also pay attention to the air quality improvement function of air conditioners. Therefore, fragrance air conditioners are favored by consumers. Most of the existing air conditioner fragrances place the fragrance cotton core on the air conditioner filter or HEPA net. Users need to manually refill the essential oil on the fragrance core when the essential oil is exhausted. However, due to the high position of the wall-mounted unit, frequent refilling of fragrance will give users a poor user experience. In addition, the existing fragrances do not have a fragrance exhaustion reminder, and the user needs to sense when the fragrance is exhausted. In addition, the fragrance module is not airtight. After the fragrance filter is installed, the fragrance essential oil begins to evaporate freely, and users cannot turn on or off the fragrance module according to their own needs.

[0003] There is an existing aromatherapy component applied to solid aromatherapy blocks, which absorbs essential oils with aromatherapy blocks and puts them into a hollow aromatherapy box, which is placed at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and an aromatherapy essential oil storage container is provided to drip essential oils into the aromatherapy block. However, the aromatherapy module does not have a closing function, and the aromatherapy block is always exposed to the air outlet, so users cannot stop the aromatherapy module from emitting fragrance according to their own needs. Summary of the invention

[0004] A first object of the present invention is to provide a fragrance assembly that can be switched between open and closed positions.

[0005] The second object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner having the above-mentioned aromatherapy component.

[0006] The third object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle having the above-mentioned aromatherapy component.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned first purpose, the present invention provides an aromatherapy component, comprising: a shell, a accommodating chamber is arranged in the shell, and an air outlet of the accommodating chamber is arranged on the side wall of the shell; a fragrance module, the fragrance module is arranged in the accommodating chamber; a rotating shaft, an air outlet channel is arranged on the rotating shaft, and a fragrance release port and a connecting port are respectively arranged at both ends of the air outlet channel, and the connecting port is located on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft; a driving member, the driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate between a closed position and an open position; in the open position, the connecting port is opposite to and connected with the air outlet of the accommodating chamber, and in the closed position, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft blocks the air outlet of the accommodating chamber.

[0008] It can be seen from the above scheme that when the aromatherapy component needs to be used, the driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the connecting port is opposite to the air outlet of the accommodating chamber, so that the air outlet of the accommodating chamber, the connecting port, the air outlet channel and the aroma release port are connected in sequence, and the aroma released by the fragrance module is emitted from the aroma release port. When the aromatherapy component is not in use, the driving member drives the rotating shaft to continue to rotate forward or reverse, so that the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft blocks the air outlet of the accommodating chamber, thereby realizing the closure of the aromatherapy component. Therefore, the opening and closing of the aromatherapy component can be realized according to the needs of the user, thereby solving the problem that the existing aromatherapy component is difficult to close and the fragrance will be freely released when it is not used. At the same time, the opening and closing of the air outlet of the accommodating chamber is realized by the rotation of the rotating shaft, which has a simple structure, convenient operation and easy implementation.

[0009] A preferred solution is that the fragrance release port is located on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft and is spaced apart from the communication port in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft.

[0010] A further solution is that the communication port and the aroma release port are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0011] It can be seen that in this arrangement, the length of the air outlet channel in the air outlet direction is short, which can achieve rapid release of fragrance.

[0012] A further solution is that the air outlet channel penetrates the rotating shaft along the radial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0013] A preferred solution is that both the communication port and the air outlet of the accommodating cavity extend along the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0014] It can be seen that extending in the axial direction of the rotating shaft can increase the size of the communicating port and the air outlet of the accommodating cavity, further improving the release speed of the fragrance.

[0015] A preferred solution is that a partition is also provided in the shell, which divides the internal space of the shell into an installation cavity and a accommodating cavity, the rotating shaft is located in the installation cavity, and the air outlet of the accommodating cavity is located on the partition; an installation cavity air outlet is provided on the side wall of the installation cavity, and in the open position, the aroma release port is opposite to and connected with the installation cavity air outlet.

[0016] It can be seen that the shaft located in the installation cavity can prevent dust and other debris from contaminating the shaft surface, thereby causing dust to be brought into the air outlet channel or the air outlet of the containing cavity during the rotation of the shaft, thereby blocking the air outlet channel or the air outlet of the containing cavity and affecting the release of fragrance.

[0017] A further solution is that the driving member is installed outside the shell, the first end of the rotating shaft is connected to the driving shaft of the driving member, and the second end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0018] A further solution is that the bottom wall of the installation cavity is in an arc shape, and the rotating shaft is clearance-matched with the bottom wall of the installation cavity.

[0019] A preferred solution is that the fragrance module includes solid fragrance.

[0020] A preferred solution is that the fragrance module includes a fragrance releasing carrier, a cotton core and a fragrance storage container; liquid fragrance is stored in the fragrance storage container, the first end of the cotton core extends into the fragrance storage container, the second end of the cotton core is connected to the fragrance releasing carrier, the fragrance releasing carrier is arranged near the air outlet of the accommodating cavity, and the fragrance releasing carrier is made of a porous material.

[0021] It can be seen that the liquid fragrance in the fragrance storage container is transported to the fragrance release carrier made of porous material through the penetration of the cotton core, so that there is always liquid fragrance on the fragrance release carrier. When the module is turned on, the fragrance can be continuously released into the environment. The fragrance storage container can replenish the fragrance release carrier with fragrance essential oil at any time, and the user does not need to frequently remove the carrier for manual replenishment.

[0022] A further solution is that the fragrance module also includes a carrier support frame, the carrier support frame is a hollow structure, the fragrance release carrier is installed on the carrier support frame, and the carrier support frame is fixed on the shell.

[0023] It can be seen that the carrier support frame with a hollow structure can not only support the fragrance releasing carrier, but also will not block the release of the fragrance essential oil on the fragrance releasing carrier.

[0024] A further solution is that the aromatherapy component further includes a humidity sensor, which is mounted on the carrier support frame and located between the fragrance releasing carrier and the carrier support frame, and the humidity sensor detects the humidity of the fragrance releasing carrier.

[0025] It can be seen that the humidity sensor can monitor the surface humidity of the fragrance release carrier. When the surface humidity is lower than a certain value, it means that the fragrance bottle can no longer provide fragrance to the release carrier. At the same time, the small amount of fragrance stored in the fragrance release carrier of the release carrier is also exhausted. At this time, the user is prompted to replenish the fragrance in the fragrance storage container.

[0026] A further solution is that the shell includes a bottom shell and a top cover, and the bottom shell and the top cover are detachably fixedly connected.

[0027] A further solution is that the carrier support frame and the fragrance storage container are both fixed on the top cover. The fragrance storage container includes a bottle body and a bottle cap, the bottle cap is fixed to the top cover, and the bottle body and the bottle cap are detachably connected.

[0028] It can be seen that the fragrance storage container is fixed on the top cover, which can prevent the fragrance storage container from tipping over when subjected to external force and causing the liquid fragrance to spill. The bottom shell and the top cover are detachably connected, and the bottle body and the bottle cover are detachably connected. After the liquid fragrance in the fragrance storage container is used up, the top cover can be removed, and then the bottle body can be removed and the liquid fragrance can be replenished in the bottle body, thereby solving the problem that it is difficult for users to replenish the liquid fragrance when it is exhausted.

[0029] To achieve the above second purpose, the present invention provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner housing and the above aromatherapy component, the air conditioner housing is provided with an air outlet, the aromatherapy component is arranged near the air outlet, and the aroma release port of the aromatherapy component is arranged toward the air outlet.

[0030] It can be seen that the fragrance release port of the fragrance component is arranged toward the air outlet, so that the fragrance molecules released from the through hole can be released and diffused into the room by the air conditioning airflow.

[0031] To achieve the third objective, the present invention provides a vehicle including the aromatherapy component. An air outlet is provided on the vehicle, the aromatherapy component is disposed near the air outlet, and the aroma release port of the aromatherapy component is disposed toward the air outlet.

The fragrance release port 32 and the connecting port 33 are both located on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 3. The fragrance release port 32 and the connecting port 33 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 3. Preferably, the air outlet channel 31 penetrates the rotating shaft 3 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 3, and the connecting port 33 and the fragrance release port 32 are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 3. The air outlet channel 31, the fragrance release port 32, the connecting port 33, the accommodating chamber air outlet 113 and the installation chamber air outlet 115 all extend along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3.

[0041] The motor 4 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate between the closed position and the open position. Figure 4 As shown, in the open position, the communication port 33 is opposite to and communicates with the air outlet 113 of the accommodating cavity, and the aroma release port 32 is opposite to and communicates with the air outlet 115 of the installation cavity; Figure 3 As shown, in the closed position, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 3 blocks the air outlet 113 of the accommodating chamber.

[0042] The fragrance module 2 includes a carrier support frame 21, a fragrance release carrier 22, a cotton core 23 and a fragrance storage container 24. Liquid fragrance is stored in the fragrance storage container 24, the first end of the cotton core 23 extends into the fragrance storage container 24, and the second end of the cotton core 23 is connected to the fragrance release carrier 22. The carrier support frame 21 is a hollow structure and is arranged near the air outlet 113 of the accommodating cavity.
