[0057] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0058] The following is for reference. Figures 1-13 The following describes a fragrance device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] The fragrance device 100 of the present invention can be used in air conditioners, cabins or vehicle environments. For example, when used in an air conditioner, the air conditioner activates the fresh air function, driving air to enter from the air inlet, then flowing through the fragrance device 100 and out from the air outlet. The fragrance released by the fragrance device 100 can improve the indoor environment and bring a better user experience.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the fragrance device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fragrance mechanism 10, a movable shell 20, and a drive mechanism 30.

[0061] The fragrance mechanism 10 includes a detection element 104 and multiple fragrance components 102. The multiple fragrance components 102 can have different fragrance scents to release different fragrances according to user needs. Each fragrance component 102 has a first vent channel for releasing fragrance outward. Each fragrance component 102 is provided with a test element 103, which contains fragrance information of the corresponding fragrance component 102. The detection element 104 is used to detect the test element 103 to obtain fragrance information. The fragrance information can be the fragrance type, concentration, origin, etc. of the fragrance component 102. The following explanation will use fragrance type as an example. The detection element 104, together with the test element 103, can detect which fragrance each fragrance component 102 is. It can realize automatic detection and output the detection results, so that users can select different types of fragrances according to the detection results.

[0062] The movable shell 20 is used to cover multiple fragrance components 102. The movable shell 20 is constructed to close multiple first air outlet channels, and a second air outlet channel 20a is provided through it. The driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the movable shell 20 to move relative to the fragrance components 102 according to the detection result of the detector 104, so that the second air outlet channel 20a switches to communicate with the first air outlet channel of different fragrance components 102. It can be understood that the movable shell 20 is used to install the fragrance mechanism 10 and can cover the first air outlet channels of all fragrance components 102 to prevent fragrance leakage. Since the detector 104, in conjunction with the test component 103, can identify which fragrance each fragrance component 102 is, when the user selects the fragrance component 102 to be released, the detector 104 can release a signal. After the driving mechanism 30 obtains the signal, it can drive the movable shell 20 to move, so that the second air outlet channel 20a can communicate with the first air outlet channel of the fragrance component 102 desired by the user, and release the fragrance outward.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fragrance device 100 includes a detection element 104 and multiple fragrance components 102. Each fragrance component 102 has a first venting channel for releasing fragrance. Each fragrance component 102 is provided with a test element 103. The detection element 104 is used to detect the test element 103 to obtain fragrance information, and can intelligently identify the fragrance type of multiple fragrance components 102. A movable shell 20 covers the multiple fragrance components 102. The movable shell 20 is constructed to close the multiple first venting channels, and a second venting channel 20a is provided through it. A driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the movable shell 20 to move relative to the fragrance components 102, so that the second venting channel 20a switches to communicate with the first venting channels of different fragrance components 102. The movement of the movable shell 20 can be automatically controlled according to the identification and detection results, and the fragrance component 102 desired by the user can be automatically switched to release fragrance. The entire device can meet the switching of multiple fragrance types and realize the automatic identification of fragrance types, bringing a better user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the fragrance mechanism 10 also includes a mounting base 101, which is located inside the movable housing 20. The mounting base 101 has multiple mounting slots 1011, each corresponding to a fragrance component 102. Each mounting slot 1011 has a first vent 1012, which corresponds to a first air outlet channel. Each fragrance component 102 is installed in its corresponding mounting slot 1011 and then mounted in the movable housing 20 via the mounting base 101. The fragrance component 102 can be detachably installed and removed from the mounting base 101 via the mounting slots 1011. This allows for direct replacement of the fragrance component 102 with a new one installed on the mounting base 101 after use. Moreover, the fragrance type of the newly replaced fragrance component 102 may be different from the previous one, and the fragrance type of the new fragrance component 102 can be re-detected by the detection element 104. The first vent 1012 on the mounting slot 1011 is correspondingly set with the first air outlet channel so that when the driving mechanism 30 drives the movable shell 20 to move, the second air outlet channel 20a is connected to the first air outlet channel through the first vent 1012, so that the airflow can flow through the second air outlet channel 20a, the first vent 1012 and the first air outlet channel, carrying the fragrance away from the fragrance component 102 and releasing the fragrance scent to the outside.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the number of mounting slots 1011 and fragrance components 102 can be specifically set as needed to achieve multiple fragrance switching and release. For example, in some embodiments, there can be four mounting slots 1011 and fragrance components 102, and the fragrance device 100 can achieve four types of fragrance switching and release. Of course, the number of mounting slots 1011 and fragrance components 102 is not limited to four, and can be other values. This is just an example and is not limited to this, so it will not be elaborated further here.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the fragrance component 102 includes a base 1021, a fragrance element 1022, and a top cover 1023. The base 1021 is provided with a fragrance groove 1021a, and the fragrance groove 1021a is provided with a second air hole 1021b corresponding to the first air hole 1012. The fragrance element 1022 is disposed in the fragrance groove 1021a. The top cover 1023 is disposed on the base 1021 to seal the fragrance groove 1021a. The top cover 1023 is provided with a third air hole 1023a. The third air hole 1023a and the second air hole 1021b together define a first air outlet channel. The top cover 1023, mounted on the base 1021, allows the fragrance chamber 1021a to form a sealed fragrance cavity. The fragrance component 1022 is placed inside the fragrance chamber 1021a. The fragrance can only be released outward through the second vent 1021b and the third vent 1023a. As air flows from the second vent 1021b through the third vent 1023a, it carries the fragrance scent from the fragrance component 1022 outward. This design allows for precise control of the fragrance release from the fragrance component 1022.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the test piece 103 is disposed on the base 1021 or the top cover 1023.

[0068] Specifically, the test piece 103 can be mounted on the base 1021, for example, as shown in the image. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a groove 1021c can be provided on the base 1021. The test piece 103 is installed in the groove 1021c. The test piece 103 can be installed on the base 1021 through the groove 1021c, so that the test piece 103 and the base 1021 can be integrated. When installing or disassembling the fragrance mechanism 10, the test piece 103 and the base 1021 can be removed or installed together, which facilitates the installation or removal of the fragrance component 102 and improves the installation and removal efficiency.

[0069] Furthermore, the test piece 103 can also be located on the top cover 1023. For example, the top cover 1023 has a positioning groove (not shown in the figure), and the test piece 103 is installed in the positioning groove. Alternatively, the test piece 103 can be directly bonded to the top cover 1023. Similarly, by assembling the test piece 103 and the top cover 1023 together, the two can be installed as a single unit. When installing or disassembling the fragrance mechanism 10, the test piece 103 and the top cover 1023 can be removed or installed together, which is beneficial for the installation or disassembly of the fragrance component 102 and improves the installation and disassembly efficiency.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fragrance element 1022 may be a fragrance stick or a fragrance block. The shape of the fragrance diffuser 1021a may be adapted to the shape of the fragrance element 1022. For example, as Figure 1As shown, when the fragrance component 1022 is a cylindrical fragrance stick, the fragrance groove 1021a can be constructed as a long groove with a semi-circular cross-section; when the fragrance component 1022 is a square columnar fragrance stick, the fragrance groove 1021a can be constructed as a long groove with a square cross-section; and when the fragrance component 1022 is a square fragrance block, the fragrance groove 1021a can be constructed as a square groove.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, one end of the base 1021 is provided with a first limiting buckle 10211 and the other end is provided with a second limiting buckle 10212. The mounting groove 1011 is provided with a first abutting part 10111 and a second abutting part 10112. The first limiting buckle 10211 abuts against the first abutting part 10111, and the second limiting buckle 10212 abuts against the second abutting part 10112. Through the abutting engagement of the first limiting buckle 10211 and the first abutting part 10111, and the abutting engagement of the second limiting buckle 10212 and the second abutting part 10112, the two ends of the base 1021 can be fixed on the mounting base 101, improving the reliability and firmness of the fragrance component 102 on the mounting base 101. Secondly, by setting the first limit buckle 10211 and the second limit buckle 10212, the base 1021 can be quickly installed or removed from the mounting base 101, so as to quickly replace the fragrance component 102 after the fragrance of the fragrance component 102 is used up.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first limiting buckle 10211 and the second limiting buckle 10212 may be disposed along the length direction of the base 1021. Figure 1 Alternatively, the first limiting buckle 10211 and the second limiting buckle 10212 can also be located at both ends of the width direction of the base 1021.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting buckle 10211 can be constructed as a first locking protrusion, the second limiting buckle 10212 can be constructed as a second locking protrusion, the first abutting part 10111 can be constructed as a first locking groove, and the second abutting part 10112 can be constructed as a stop protrusion. When installing the base 1021, the first locking protrusion can be inserted into the first locking groove first, and then the base 1021 can be swung around the first locking protrusion, so that the second locking protrusion passes through the stop protrusion and finally stops upward on the stop protrusion to realize the installation of the base 1021. This method has a simple structure and is easy to install.

[0074] In a specific implementation of the present invention, the opening of the first card slot is arranged facing forward, the first card protrusion can be connected to the first card slot from front to back, the second card protrusion extends along the edge, and the stop protrusion stops downward on the second card protrusion.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the mounting groove 1011 is provided with a disassembly hole 1011a. After the base 1021 is installed in the mounting groove 1011, when disassembly is required, a force applied inward through the disassembly hole 1011a can cause the base 1021 to detach from the mounting groove 1011, thus facilitating the replacement of the fragrance component 102. The method of providing a disassembly hole 1011a not only meets the requirement of convenient disassembly, but also has a simple structure, which can reduce costs.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the disassembly hole 1011a is disposed adjacent to the first abutment portion 10111 and / or the second abutment portion 10112. That is, the disassembly hole 1011a may be disposed in one place or in two places.

[0077] For example, the disassembly hole 1011a is located near the first abutment portion 10111. Through the disassembly hole 1011a, a force directed towards the mounting groove 1011 can be applied, causing the first abutment portion 10111 and the first limiting buckle 10211 to disengage. At this time, the base 1021 can rotate around the second limiting buckle 10212 and be removed from the mounting groove 1011. Figure 5 As shown, the disassembly hole 1011a can also be located near the second abutment part 10112. Through the disassembly hole 1011a, a force can be applied inward to the mounting groove 1011 to disengage the second abutment part 10112 and the second limit buckle 10212. At this time, the base 1021 can rotate around the first limit buckle 10211 and be removed from the mounting groove 1011.

[0078] For example, a disassembly hole 1011a can be provided on the mounting groove 1011 near the first abutment portion 10111 and the second abutment portion 10112. In this case, a force pointing into the mounting groove 1011 can be applied to the disassembly holes 1011a at both locations to disengage the first abutment portion 10111 from the first limit buckle 10211, and to disengage the second abutment portion 10112 from the second limit buckle 10212, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency.

[0079] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the base 1021 is installed downwards on the mounting groove 1011. The rear end of the base 1021 is stopped by a first limiting buckle 10211 and a first abutting part 10111, and the front end of the base 1021 is stopped by a second limiting buckle 10212 and abutting part 10112. When disassembly is required, an upward force can be applied through the disassembly hole 1011a to disengage the second limiting buckle 10212 and the second abutting part 10112, thereby removing the base 1021 from the mounting groove 1011.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, one end of the top cover 1023 is provided with a third limiting buckle 10231, and the other end is provided with a fourth limiting buckle 10232. The fragrance tank 1021a is provided with a third abutting part 10213 and a fourth abutting part 10214. The third limiting buckle 10231 abuts against the third abutting part 10213, and the fourth limiting buckle 10232 abuts against the fourth abutting part 10214. Through the abutting cooperation of the third limiting buckle 10231 and the third abutting part 10213, and the abutting cooperation of the fourth limiting buckle 10232 and the fourth abutting part 10214, the two ends of the top cover 1023 can be fixed to the base 1021, improving the installation reliability and firmness between the top cover 1023 and the base 1021.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third limiting buckle 10231 and the fourth limiting buckle 10232 may be provided at both ends of the top cover 1023 along its length. Alternatively, the third limiting buckle 10231 and the fourth limiting buckle 10232 may also be provided at both ends of the top cover 1023 along its width.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the third limiting buckle 10231 can be constructed as a third hook, the third abutment part 10213 can be constructed as a third protrusion, the fourth limiting buckle 10232 can be constructed as a fourth hook extending into the fragrance slot 1021a, and the fourth abutment part 10214 can be constructed as a fourth groove. When installing the top cover 1023, first, the third hook and the third protrusion are engaged, and then the top cover 1023 is pressed down toward the base 1021, so that the fourth hook engages in the fourth groove, thereby installing the top cover 1023 onto the base 1021. This method has a simple structure and is relatively convenient to install.

[0083] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the third hook is arranged to face rearward and is engaged with the third protrusion from front to back. The opening of the fourth slot is arranged to face rearward, and the fourth hook can be elastically deformed in the front-back direction. The fourth hook is engaged with the fourth slot from back to front.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple second air outlet channels 20a, and the number of second air outlet channels 20a is equal to that of the first air outlet channels, and they are paired together. The drive mechanism 30 drives the movable housing 20 to move, so that the second air outlet channels 20a can connect with the paired first air outlet channels. By using multiple second air outlet channels 20a in pairs with the first air outlet channels of multiple fragrance components 102, for example, by connecting each first air outlet channel with the nearest second air outlet channel 20a, the movement stroke of the movable housing 20 can be reduced, and the working efficiency can be improved.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple fragrance components 102 are arranged side-by-side along a first direction. Multiple first vents 1012, multiple second vents 1021b, and multiple third vents 1023a are arranged along the first direction, with the second vents 1021b corresponding to the third vents 1023a. Multiple second air outlet channels 20a are arranged along a second direction, forming an angle between the second and first directions. The first direction can be the left-right direction shown in the figure. The multiple second air outlet channels 20a along the second direction can be understood as being arranged diagonally relative to the first direction. When the driving mechanism 30 drives the movable shell 20 to move, the movable shell 20 moves a certain distance, allowing the multiple second air outlet channels 20a to sequentially connect with their paired third vents 1023a. This structure simplifies fragrance switching and helps reduce costs. Furthermore, the alignment of the second vents 1021b with the third vents 1023a ensures that the first air outlet channels penetrate the fragrance component 102 in a straight line, resulting in better fragrance release.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first vent 1012, the second vent 1021b, and the third vent 1023a can be any of the following: square hole, round hole, or elliptical hole, or other shapes, without specific limitations.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the fragrance device 100 also includes a housing 40. The housing 40 contains a receiving space 401, a third air outlet channel 402 penetrating the receiving space 401, and a mounting port 403 communicating with the receiving space 401. The fragrance mechanism 10, the movable shell 20, and the drive mechanism 30 are housed within the receiving space 401. The third air outlet channel 402 communicates with the second air outlet channel 20a. The mounting base 101 is installed into the receiving space 401 through the mounting port 403. The housing 40 serves to house the fragrance mechanism 10, the movable shell 20, and the drive mechanism 30, making the fragrance device 100 more aesthetically pleasing and protecting these components from damage if exposed. The mounting port 403 allows for the detachable installation of the mounting base 101 within the housing 40, and the third air outlet channel 402 allows air to flow through the housing 40.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 40 includes an upper housing 410 and a lower housing 420. Both the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are provided with air vents 40a. The air vents 40a on the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 together define a third air vent 402.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are detachably connected. For example, a snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420. One of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 is provided with a snap-fit, and the other of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 is provided with a locking hole. The detachable connection is achieved by the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​and the locking hole, which is simple to operate and has high efficiency in installation or disassembly.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are detachably connected. For example, the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are connected by fasteners. One of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 is provided with a threaded hole, and the other of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 is provided with a screw. The detachable connection is achieved by the cooperation of the screw and the threaded hole, which is simple to operate and has high efficiency in installation or disassembly.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple vent holes 40a may be provided to ensure communication with multiple second vent channels 20a. For example, multiple vent holes 40a on the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 may be arranged in an array, which is rectangular in shape and configured to completely cover multiple second vent channels 20a.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, the mounting base 101 is assembled onto the housing 40 along a third direction. A fifth limiting buckle 1013 is located at the front end of the mounting base 101 along the third direction, and a sixth limiting buckle 1014 is located at the rear end of the mounting base 101 along the third direction. A fifth abutting part 4011 and a sixth abutting part 4012 are provided within the accommodating space 401. The fifth limiting buckle 1013 abuts against the fifth abutting part 4011, and the sixth limiting buckle 1014 abuts against the sixth abutting part 4012. Through the abutting cooperation of the fifth limiting buckle 1013 and the fifth abutting part 4011, and the abutting cooperation of the sixth limiting buckle 1014 and the sixth abutting part 4012, both ends of the mounting base 101 can be fixed to the housing 40, improving the installation reliability and firmness between the mounting base 101 and the housing 40. Furthermore, by placing the fifth limiting buckle 1013 and the sixth limiting buckle 1014 at the front and rear ends of the mounting base 101 along the third direction, they can be snapped together and fixed during assembly, making operation convenient.

[0093] Secondly, by setting the fifth limit buckle 1013 and the sixth limit buckle 1014 on the mounting base 101, the mounting base 101 can also be quickly installed or removed from the housing 40.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the fifth limiting buckle 1013 can be constructed as a downwardly extending locking plate, and the fifth abutment part 4011 is constructed as a conical fifth locking groove. The conical fifth locking groove can play a guiding role, making it easy to achieve the locking of the locking plate and the fifth locking groove, thus improving the assembly accuracy. Figure 9 As shown, the sixth limiting buckle 1014 is constructed as an elastic latching protrusion, and the sixth abutting part 4012 is constructed as a sixth latching groove. The latching plate and the fifth latching groove can be engaged first, and then the elastic latching protrusion and the sixth latching groove can be engaged to fix the mounting base 101 onto the housing 40.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, the sixth slot can be located on the bottom wall of the receiving space 401, and the elastic protrusion can be located on the bottom of the mounting base 101, so that the elastic protrusion of the mounting base 101 is engaged downwards in the sixth slot. The opening of the fifth slot is facing forward, and the card is engaged in the fifth slot from front to back.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the movable housing 20 includes a main body 201 and a rack 202. The rack 202 is disposed on the main body 201 and extends along the direction of movement of the main body 201. The drive mechanism 30 includes a motor 301 and a gear 302 connected to the motor 301. The gear 302 meshes with the rack 202. It can be understood that the direction of movement of the main body 201 can be... Figure 1As shown in the front-back direction, the rack 202 extends in the front-back direction. The motor 301 drives the gear 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 302 to move the rack 202, so that the entire movable shell 20 moves in the front-back direction. Whenever the gear 302 rotates a certain angle, it can drive the rack 202 to move a certain distance, so that the second air outlet channel 20a on the main body 201 is connected to the paired first air outlet channel to release a fragrance. In this way, different types of fragrance components 102 can be switched. The motor-driven gear rack has a simple movement structure and can quickly switch and release fragrances.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a shell space is formed inside the main body 201, and openings 201a are provided at both the front and rear ends of the main body 201. The mounting base 101 can be detachably installed with the movable shell 20 through the openings 201a.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, the main body 201 has a U-shaped seat structure or a loop-shaped seat structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 201 has multiple through holes 201b at both its upper and lower ends. The through holes 201b at the upper and lower ends are arranged opposite each other to form a second air outlet channel 20a. The multiple through holes 201b at each end are arranged along a second direction ( Figure 1 (Center, left, right) settings.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the movable housing 20 is provided with a first protrusion 2011 and a second protrusion 2012, which are located on opposite sides of the movable housing 20 in the direction of movement. The second protrusion 2012 is located adjacent to the rack 202. The accommodating space 401 is provided with a first guide groove 4013 and a second guide groove 4014. The first protrusion 2011 is located in the first guide groove 4013, and the second protrusion 2012 is located in the second guide groove 4014. The gap between the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013 is greater than the gap between the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014. The cooperation between the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013, and the cooperation between the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014, can play a guiding role, improving the movement stability and reliability of the movable housing 20. The gap between the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013 is larger than the gap between the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014. This allows the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013 to be assembled first, and then the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014 to be assembled. This structure can prevent the rack 202 from jamming during operation due to loose assembly.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, the gap between the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013 is 1mm to 3mm, that is, the gap between the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013 can be any value from 1mm to 3mm, for example, 1mm, 0.8mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, etc.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the gap between the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014 is 0.08 mm to 0.12 mm, that is, the gap between the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014 can be any value among 0.08 mm, 0.09 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.11 mm, and 0.12 mm.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, both the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2012 are constructed as protruding pillars. The diameter of the second protrusion 2012 is larger than the diameter of the first protrusion 2011. Thus, under the premise that the widths of the first guide groove 4013 and the second guide groove 4014 are equal, the gap between the first protrusion 2011 and the first guide groove 4013 is greater than the gap between the second protrusion 2012 and the second guide groove 4014.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first protrusion 2011 is a first protrusion post. There are multiple first protrusion posts, which are spaced apart on the movable shell 20. The multiple first protrusion posts can not only play a guiding role, but also save materials and reduce costs.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first protrusion 2011 may be a first protrusion strip, which extends along the edge of the movable shell 20. The first protrusion strip and the first guide groove 4013 can provide a more stable guiding effect.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second protrusion 2012 is a second protrusion post. Multiple second protrusion posts are provided on the movable shell 20 at intervals. The multiple second protrusion posts can not only play a guiding role, but also save materials and reduce costs.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second protrusion 2012 may be a second protrusion strip, which extends along the edge of the movable shell 20. The second protrusion strip and the second guide groove 4014 can provide a more stable guiding effect.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the fragrance device 100 also includes an electronic control component 50, which is communicatively connected to the drive mechanism 30 and the detection element 104 to control the operation of the drive mechanism 30 based on the detection result of the detection element 104. The electronic control component 50, as an electronic control component, enables control. When the detection element 104 detects the test element 103 and identifies the fragrance type of multiple fragrance components 102, it can transmit the detection result to the electronic control component 50 as a transmission signal. Then, the electronic control component 50 sends a signal to the drive mechanism 30, causing the drive mechanism 30 to drive the movable shell 20 to move relative to the fragrance component 102, so that the second air outlet channel 20a switches to connect with the first air outlet channel of different fragrance components 102. For example, when the fragrance device 100 is used in an air conditioner, in a specific usage scenario, the fresh air motor can be turned on, allowing fresh air to guide air from the air inlet along the third air outlet channel 402, the second air outlet channel 20a, and the first air outlet channel, carrying out the fragrance molecules of the fragrance components 102 and filling the indoor space.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the electronic control assembly 50 includes a control board 501 and an electronic control box 502. The control board 501 is located inside the electronic control box 502. The control board 501 has a communication module that can communicate with the detection element 104 and the motor 301 of the drive mechanism 30. The control board 501 can be understood as a PCB circuit board, which has a drive circuit, a detection signal receiving circuit, and a communication module. The communication module can be a Bluetooth, WIFI, or 5G module. The control board 501 can also be connected to a mobile phone through the communication module. The user can select the desired fragrance type through the mobile phone and then send a command to the control board 501, which will then send a signal to the drive mechanism 30 to switch the target fragrance assembly 102 and release the desired fragrance.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control box 502 may be detachably mounted on the housing 40. For example, the control box 502 may be connected to the housing 40 by means of a snap-fit ​​or fastener, which facilitates replacement and disassembly.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrical control box 502 and the housing 40 are integrally formed, which can reduce assembly steps and improve installation efficiency.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control board 501 can be connected to the electrical control box 502 by a snap-fit ​​or fastener, which facilitates replacement and disassembly.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present invention, the test element 103 is a magnetic element, and the magnetic strength of multiple test elements 103 is different. The detection element 104 is a magnetic detection element 104. Since the magnetic strength of each test element 103 is different, it can represent different types of fragrances. The detection element 104 can identify the fragrance type of multiple fragrance components 102 by detecting the magnetic strength of the test elements 103.

[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, the test element 103 can be a magnet, and the detection element 104 can be a magnetic sensor.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple detection elements 104, and each detection element 104 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with a corresponding test element 103, so that each detection element 104 can be used to detect the corresponding test element 103. The control board 501 can simultaneously communicate with multiple detection elements 104 and receive the detection results from multiple detection elements 104.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple detection elements 104 are detachably mounted on the housing 40 for easy replacement and maintenance. For example, the detection elements 104 can be mounted on the housing 40 by means of snap-fit ​​connections for easy installation and removal; the detection elements 104 can also be connected to the housing 40 by fasteners, specifically screws or rivets, for secure installation and to prevent loosening.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple detection elements 104 can be fixed to the housing 40 by adhesive bonding, which ensures a secure installation and prevents them from loosening.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple detection elements 104 may be inherited on a single mounting plate, which is detachably mounted on the housing 40. In this way, when it is necessary to replace or repair the detection element 104, the entire mounting plate can be removed directly, which can reduce disassembly steps and improve installation or disassembly efficiency.

[0143] The following describes how to use the fragrance device 100 of the present invention:

[0144] When the four fragrance components 102 are installed in the four mounting slots 1011, the four detectors 104 can detect the magnetic force of the four tested components 103, thereby identifying the fragrance type of each fragrance component 102, transmitting a signal to the control board 501, and recording the fragrance type at the current position. When the user needs to activate a certain fragrance, the control board 501 controls the motor 301 to drive the gear 302 and rack 202 to move according to the recorded signal from the detectors 104, so that the second air outlet channel 20a on the movable housing 20 is connected to the paired first air outlet channel. At this time, the airflow can pass through the third air outlet channel 402, the second air outlet channel 20a, and the first air outlet channel (see...). Figure 6 (The arrows indicate the direction of airflow), which carries out the fragrance molecules in the fragrance component 102.

[0145] The fragrance device 100 of this invention adopts a structural design in which a movable shell 20 encloses the fragrance components 102. Through the multiple second air outlet channels 20a on the movable shell 20 arranged along an oblique line and the four fragrance components 102 arranged along a straight line, airflow can pass through the fragrance stick, achieving automatic switching and sealing of different fragrances.
