TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, for example to a fragrance mechanism and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners are used more and more in people's daily life and work, and people's requirements for air conditioners are also getting higher and higher. For example, the requirements for the air conditions of indoor space are getting higher and higher. At present, the air conditions of indoor space are usually improved by using various kinds of aromatherapy materials. For example, a structure containing a certain kind of aromatherapy material can be arranged on the filter screen of an indoor unit. When air enters the air conditioner through the filter screen, the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy material is brought into the air conditioner, and then enters the indoor space after being adjusted by the air conditioner, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the air conditions of the indoor space. However, the above structure usually only includes an aromatherapy material with one kind of fragrance, and the fragrance that can be emitted is relatively single. If the fragrance needs to be changed, the user needs to take out the aromatherapy material from the above structure, and then replace the aromatherapy material with the corresponding fragrance, which is relatively troublesome.
[0003] In the related art, a kind of aromatherapy assembly and air conditioner with the same are disclosed. The aromatherapy assembly includes a mounting part and an aromatherapy module. The mounting part includes a box body and a cover body, and the box body and the cover body form a containing cavity. The containing cavity has at least one sub-containing cavity, and at least one aromatherapy module is arranged in the sub-containing cavity. The cover body is formed with a communication structure, so that the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy module enters the target space through the communication structure. The box body and the cover body can move relative to each other, and the movement makes the communication structure be able to be aligned with different sub-containing cavities or different positions of the sub-containing cavity, so that the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy module corresponding to the communication structure enters the target space.
[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:
[0005] In the related art, the taste is changed by rotating to align with different sub-containing cavities, and only single fragrance switching can be performed, and multiple fragrance combination switching cannot be performed.
[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only used to strengthen the understanding of the background of the present application, and therefore can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.
[0042] Fragrance diffusers are widely used in home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and water heaters. While each fragrance diffuser is a standalone product in these appliances, they all have significant drawbacks. Existing fragrance diffusers, due to centrifugal force, exhibit high airflow disorder during the air intake process, easily causing backflow and vortex formation. This affects air intake efficiency, causing severe backflow, and the vortex also leads to significant startup noise. The fundamental problem this invention aims to solve is to guide the airflow, reducing backflow and thus minimizing noise.
[0043] Combination Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment of the disclosure provides a fragrance device, which includes a base 1, a fragrance module 2, and connecting pipes. The base 1 includes multiple receiving cavities 12; the fragrance module 2 is used to generate atomized fragrance, and the multiple fragrance modules 2 are installed one-to-one in the receiving cavities 12. The fragrance module 2 includes a fragrance chamber 243, which includes an air inlet 22 and a fragrance outlet 21. The air inlet 22 is used to introduce airflow, and the fragrance outlet 21 is connected to the indoor unit of an air conditioner; the connecting pipes include a main pipe and multiple branch pipes. The first end of each of the multiple branch pipes is connected to one of the multiple fragrance outlets 21, and the second end of each of the multiple branch pipes is connected to the main pipe through a valve body to switch the conduction state of the multiple branch pipes.
[0044] Specifically, the base 1 of the fragrance mechanism is provided with multiple receiving cavities 12, and multiple fragrance modules 2 are fixed in each receiving cavity 12. The fragrances of the multiple fragrance modules 2 can be the same or different. Each receiving cavity 12 corresponds to a branch pipe, which is controlled to open and close by a valve body. The multiple branch pipes are connected to the main pipe through the valve body. In this way, by adjusting the opening and closing of the multiple branch pipes, one or more specific fragrances of different scents can be allowed to enter the main pipe, solving the problem that existing air conditioners cannot form or switch mixed fragrances.
[0045] As an example, the base 1 includes three receiving cavities 12, and three fragrance modules 2 are fixed in different positions within each cavity 12. The three receiving cavities 12 can accommodate three different scented fragrance modules 2. The three different scented fragrance modules 2 are pushed into the base 1 and secured. According to actual usage requirements, the start and stop of the branch pipes connected to the three fragrance modules 2 are controlled by a control valve, thereby controlling the fragrance scent. This allows for the activation of a single fragrance module 2, a combination of two fragrance modules 2, and the activation of all three fragrance modules 2, thus creating multiple scents. The number of fragrances is equal to the factorial of the number of fragrance modules 2 installed in the receiving cavities 12. For example, three fragrance modules 2 can achieve seven scents.
[0046] Understandably, the multiple accommodating cavities 12 can hold one or more fragrance modules 2, and the number of fragrance modules 2 can be increased or decreased as needed. The fragrances of the multiple fragrance modules 2 placed on the base 1 can be the same or different.
[0047] Optionally, the valve body includes a multi-way valve, the opening of which is connected to the main pipeline, and the multiple inlets of the multi-way valve are connected one-to-one to multiple branch pipelines.
[0048] Understandably, when the base 1 has three receiving chambers 12, a four-way valve can be selected for the valve body to control the connection of the branch pipes of the three fragrance modules 2 installed in the three receiving chambers 12 to the main pipe through the four-way valve. By setting a multi-way valve, one or more branch pipes of multiple branch pipes can be opened or closed, thereby realizing the switching of multiple fragrances.
[0049] Optionally, the fragrance module 2 includes a bottle body 25 and a fragrance core 26. The bottle body 25 is used to hold a specific fragrance. The fragrance core 26 includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end extends into the bottle body 25 and the second end is located in the fragrance cavity 243. Two or more fragrance modules 2 with different scents are placed in the multiple receiving cavities 12.
[0050] One end of the fragrance core 26 is inserted into the fragrance liquid inside the bottle 25, and the other end extends into the fragrance chamber 243. The fragrance core 26 uses a siphon effect to guide the fragrance upward and release it into the fragrance chamber 243.
[0051] Optionally, the fragrance mechanism also includes an atomizer 27, located within the fragrance module 2, for atomizing the fragrance to diffuse it throughout the fragrance chamber 243. The atomizer 27 is positioned at the second end of the fragrance core 26 and includes an ultrasonic atomizer 27.
[0052] Ultrasonic liquid atomization involves the generation of capillary gravity waves in a liquid layer on a vibrating surface under ultrasonic vibration. The instability of the liquid surface waves causes atomization. Specifically, when an ultrasonic wave of a certain intensity passes through the liquid and points towards the gas-liquid interface, the ultrasonic wave forms a surface tension wave at this interface. Under the action of a force perpendicular to the surface tension wave, once the amplitude of the vibrating surface reaches a certain value, droplets fly off from the wave crest, forming an atomized liquid.
[0053] Optionally, the fragrance mechanism also includes a fan assembly 4, which includes multiple fans 4, each of which is placed in a multiple air delivery chamber 11 of the base 1, with adjacent air delivery chambers 11 being independent of each other.
[0054] As an example, the base 1 holds multiple fragrance modules 2 with different scents.
[0055] When one of the fans 4 is running, under negative pressure, the airflow enters the air supply cavity 11 where the fan 4 is located, and passes through the fragrance cavity 243 corresponding to the air supply cavity 11. The atomized fragrance generated by the fragrance module 2 mixes with the airflow in the fragrance cavity 243. The fragrance airflow containing a specific scent flows out through the fragrance outlet 21 and can be sent to the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the main pipeline.
[0056] Understandably, turning on the fan 4 in the air delivery chamber 11 corresponding to the selected fragrance module 2 can produce a pure, single fragrance. In the fragrance mechanism of this application, each fragrance module 2 has an independent fan 4, air delivery chamber 11, fragrance chamber 243, and fragrance mouth 21, so there will be no problem of fragrance confusion.
[0057] When three of the fans 4 are running, under the negative pressure, the three airflows enter the three relatively independent air supply chambers 11 respectively.
[0058] Understandably, different fragrance modules 2 can be placed on the base 1, or two or more fragrance modules 2 with the same fragrance can be placed on it, depending on personal preference. Multiple fragrance modules 2 with the same fragrance operating simultaneously can increase the fragrance concentration and meet the needs of different space sizes.
[0059] Understandably, multiple receiving cavities 12 can be installed using only one or two of them, or all of them can be used, depending on the specific needs.
[0060] Optionally, the base 1 includes a base 13 and a support portion 14. The base 13 has multiple side-opening grooves for engaging the fragrance module 2; the support portion 14 is integrally formed with the base 13 and includes multiple air supply chambers 11 that correspond one-to-one with the grooves. Each air supply chamber 11 includes an air outlet 141, and the multiple air outlets 141 correspond one-to-one with the multiple grooves.
[0061] Specifically, the base 13 has multiple side-opening grooves arranged in a straight line. Each fragrance module 2 is snapped into one of these grooves. The air outlets 141 of the multiple air chambers 11 of the supporting part 14 correspond one-to-one with the fragrance modules 2. Each air outlet 141 of the air chamber 11 is connected to the air inlet 22 of the fragrance module 2. This reduces wind loss and noise, and prevents the scents from mixing in the different fragrance chambers 243.
[0062] Optionally, the fragrance mechanism also includes a fan cover 15. The fan cover 15 covers the support part 14 and has multiple air inlets 151, which are connected to multiple air delivery chambers 11 in a corresponding manner.
[0063] The fan cover 15 and the support part 14 together enclose the air supply cavity 11. Multiple fans 4 are correspondingly arranged in multiple air supply cavities 11, so that the airflow of each fragrance module 2 can be independently controlled.
[0064] Optionally, the number of accommodating cavities 12 ranges from [2, 5].
[0065] Understandably, the number of housing cavities 12 is adapted to the size of the indoor air conditioning unit. When the installation space is small, a base 1 with two housing cavities 12 can be selected, thus providing three fragrance options. When there are three housing cavities 12, seven fragrance options can be obtained.
[0066] Optionally, the fragrance mechanism also includes a stepless speed motor, which is driven and connected to the fan 4 and / or the atomizer 27.
[0067] As an example, the air supply cavity 11 of the base 1 is equipped with a fan 4, and the fan 4 speed is adjustable. The fan 4 speed can be divided into four sizes of air volume: A, B, C and D, so the fragrance concentration carried by the airflow entering the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be one of the four corresponding concentrations.
[0068] A stepless speed motor allows the fan speed to be adjusted, so the fragrance concentration can theoretically also be adjusted steplessly.
[0069] Optionally, the fragrance mechanism also includes a control module configured to adjust the speed of one or more fans 4 and the opening and closing of one or more atomizers 27 according to user preferences, thereby adjusting the fragrance concentration ratio and the scent of the fragrance combination.
[0070] Specifically, when multiple atomizers 27 and fans 4 are turned on, a combination of various fragrances can be created. The specific fragrance of the combination can be selected by the user based on their needs, choosing the fragrance module 2 with a particular fragrance. By controlling the wind speed of different fragrance modules 2, the amount of fragrance output from each module 2 can vary within the same time period; a faster wind speed results in a greater fragrance release, and a slower wind speed results in a smaller fragrance release. This allows for different concentrations and proportions of each fragrance in the airflow within the same time period, enabling more precise control of the mixed fragrance airflow to meet specific fragrance requirements.
[0071] Optionally, the groove includes a first slot 121 and a second slot 122. The bottle body 25 is located within the first slot 121; the second slot 122 is located above the first slot 121, and the width of the second slot 122 is greater than the width of the first slot 121. The fragrance box 24 is located within the second slot 122; wherein, an air outlet is provided on the side of the first slot 121, and the fragrance opening 21 is connected to the air outlet.
[0072] The second slot 122 is used to fix the fragrance box 24 within the slot 122. The bottle 25 is fixedly connected to the fragrance box 24. By locking the fragrance box 24, the bottle 25 is fixedly positioned to prevent it from tipping over.
[0073] The bottle body 25 uses a standard part of a commonly available size, with a universal mouth diameter, thus improving the versatility of the fragrance mechanism. The bottle body 25 has external threads at its opening, while the fragrance box 24 has internal threads. This threaded assembly achieves interlocking between the bottle body 25 and the fragrance box 24, and facilitates easy disassembly. A leak-proof rubber ring is provided at the corresponding interface of the bottle body 25 to prevent fragrance liquid leakage.
[0074] Optionally, the control module is also configured to control the conduction state and conduction time of the valve body. Specifically, the control module can control the atomizers 27 and corresponding fans 4 of different fragrance modules 2 to turn on and off sequentially, and in conjunction with the conduction state of the valve body, realize the switching of a single specific fragrance and / or a combination of fragrances.
[0075] As an example, the base 1 of the fragrance device is equipped with three fragrance modules 2, namely a first fragrance module 2, a second fragrance module 2, and a third fragrance module 2. The fragrance ingredient in the bottle 25 of the first fragrance module 2 is ingredient A, the fragrance ingredient in the bottle 25 of the second fragrance module 2 is ingredient B, and the fragrance ingredient in the bottle 25 of the third fragrance module 2 is ingredient C. The evaporation rates of the fragrance ingredients are: A>B>C. The different evaporation rates of the fragrance ingredients in the three bottles 25 create a layered fragrance over time. Ingredient A evaporates quickly and serves as the top note, most prominent when the airflow from the indoor unit of an air conditioner first begins. Understandably, ingredient B serves as the middle note, and ingredient C as the base note, thus allowing the fragrance to develop more layers over time.
[0076] In related technologies, confusion can easily occur during fragrance switching or release, resulting in mixed scents that are not desired by the user, thus affecting the experience. The fragrance mechanism of this application comprises independent fragrance modules 2. By adjusting and selecting the fragrance scents and characteristics of multiple fragrance modules 2, as well as the operating time of the fan 4, it can provide users with a more layered fragrance experience, achieving a three-tiered olfactory fragrance sensation.
[0077] Optionally, the control module is also configured to detect the amount of fragrance essential oil. If the amount of fragrance essential oil is abnormal or lower than the preset capacity, a buzzer alarm will be activated to prompt for replacement.
[0078] Optionally, the housing 245 and the cover 246 are detachably connected. This facilitates the maintenance and repair of the atomizer 27.
[0079] Optionally, the fragrance box 24 also includes a ring 247 located at the bottom of the box body 245. The inner cylindrical surface of the ring 247 is provided with an internal thread for interlocking with the bottle mouth thread of the bottle body 25.
[0080] The ring 247 allows the bottle 25 to be detachably mounted on the box 245. When the amount of fragrance essential oil in the bottle 25 is insufficient, it is easy to remove the bottle 25 to add fragrance essential oil or replace it with a bottle 25 of a different scent.
[0081] Optionally, the fragrance module 2 also includes an outlet nozzle 248, which is fixed in an inverted cone shape to the side of the fragrance opening 21 to allow for an interference fit with the hose 3. It is understood that the outlet nozzle 248 can be directly fixed to the fragrance opening 21, or it can be fixed to the through hole on the base 1 that connects to the fragrance opening 21; no specific limitation is made here.
[0082] The inverted cone-shaped outlet nozzle 248 makes it easier to install the hose 3. The hose 3 and the outlet nozzle 248 are interference-fitted, which can achieve better sealing and avoid the problem of leakage of atomized fragrance in the airflow at the connection.
[0083] Optionally, the fragrance box 24 includes a partition 241 that divides the fragrance box 24 into an independent electronic control chamber 242 and a fragrance chamber 243. An atomizer main board 28 is installed in the electronic control chamber 242, and an atomizer 27 is installed in the fragrance chamber 243. The atomizer main board 28 is connected to the atomizer 27. The bottle 25 contains fragrance and is fixedly connected to the fragrance box 24. The fragrance core 26 inside the bottle 25 is inserted into the fragrance chamber 243 and contacts the atomizer 27 so that the atomizer 27 atomizes the fragrance and mixes it with the airflow flowing through the fragrance chamber 243.
[0084] Specifically, the fragrance box 24 is divided into two independent chambers by a partition 241: an electronic control chamber 242 and a fragrance chamber 243. The atomizer main board 28 in the electronic control chamber 242 is electrically connected to the atomizer 27 in the fragrance chamber 243, and the operation and shutdown of the atomizer 27 can be controlled through the atomizer main board 28.
[0085] The bottle 25 is used to hold a specific fragrance; the fragrance core 26 includes a first end and a second end, the first end extending into the bottle 25 and the second end located in the fragrance cavity 243; two or more fragrance modules 2 with different scents are placed in multiple receiving cavities 12. One end of the fragrance core 26 is inserted into the fragrance liquid inside the bottle 25, and the other end extends into the fragrance cavity 243. The fragrance core 26 uses a siphon effect to guide the fragrance upward and release it into the fragrance cavity 243. The atomizer 27 in the fragrance cavity 243 atomizes the fragrance essential oil, and the atomized fragrance is transported into the room by the airflow.
[0086] This application improves the safety of the fragrance module 2 by making the electronic control cavity 242 and the fragrance cavity 243 independent of each other, thereby avoiding the problem of corrosion or conductivity caused by the fragrance coming into contact with the atomizer main board 28 in the electronic control cavity 242.
[0087] Optionally, the atomizer 27 is fixed on the partition 241. The atomizer 27 and the atomizer mainboard 28 are located on opposite sides of the partition 241, and the atomizer 27 is connected to the atomizer mainboard 28 via wiring.
[0088] Optionally, the base 1 is fixed with a main board 244, and the main board 244 is fixed with a first output terminal; the fragrance module 2 is used to generate atomized fragrance, and one or more fragrance modules 2 are assembled in the receiving cavity 12 in a corresponding manner. The fragrance module 2 includes an electronic control board with a first input terminal; after the fragrance module 2 is assembled in place, the first input terminal is connected to the first output terminal to complete the power supply connection.
[0089] Specifically, the multiple receiving cavities 12 on the base 1 are used to provide mounting points for multiple fragrance modules 2. It is understood that the number of fragrance modules 2 on the base 1 can be one or multiple, depending on the user's needs for installation.
[0090] A mainboard 244 is fixed on the base 1, and each fragrance module 2 is equipped with an electronic control board. The first input terminal on the electronic control board can be connected to the first output terminal of the mainboard 244, thereby enabling power supply to one or more fragrance modules 2 through the base 1. Compared with the connection method of connectors or plugs, the terminal connection method facilitates the disassembly of the fragrance module 2 and eliminates the need for wire connectors, saving costs and space.
[0091] This disclosure provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit and the aforementioned fragrance mechanism. A main pipeline connects to the indoor unit.
[0092] This application switches the state of different branch pipes by means of a valve body, thereby enabling the mixing of multiple different scents from two or more branch pipes and introducing them into the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the main pipe, thus solving the problem that existing air conditioners cannot form or switch mixed scents.
