Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to aromatherapy systems and electrical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A clothes dryer is a household appliance that uses electric heating to instantly evaporate and dry the moisture in washed clothes. With economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster. In order to dry washed clothes quickly, people choose to use clothes dryers to dry their clothes.

[0003] Clothes dryers in related technologies are designed with aromatherapy boxes to provide fragrance to clothes. There are two solutions in these technologies: one is to make the entire aromatherapy box detachably connected to the side wall of the inner shell, which makes the aromatherapy box easy to lose; the other is to fix the aromatherapy box to the inner shell, which makes it inconvenient to replace the fragrance components inside the box. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an aromatherapy system and electrical device to solve the problems of aromatherapy boxes being easily lost and the inconvenience of replacing the aromatherapy components inside the aromatherapy box in the related art.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, the present invention provides an aromatherapy system, comprising:

[0006] An aromatherapy chamber, formed in the inner shell of an electrical appliance, wherein an aromatherapy component capable of producing a scent is placed inside the aromatherapy chamber;

[0007] The aroma diffuser box lid is connected to the aroma diffuser chamber by a snap-fit, and the aroma diffuser box lid is provided with multiple evaporation holes suitable for the passage of fragrance.

[0008] Beneficial effects: The aroma diffuser compartment is molded into the middle shell, meaning the compartment and shell are a single unit. This prevents the diffuser box from being lost. Furthermore, the lid and compartment are connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which keeps the diffuser components inside the compartment in place, preventing them from detaching when the appliance is moved. This also facilitates the installation or replacement of the diffuser components, making it convenient for users and preventing loss. Therefore, compared to related technologies, this aromatherapy system not only prevents the diffuser box from being lost but also facilitates the replacement of the diffuser components, thus avoiding loss.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, the aroma chamber is provided with locking holes on both sides, and the aroma box lid is provided with elastic buckles on both sides at the lower end, the elastic buckles passing through the locking holes and engaging with the middle shell.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The snap-hole design is used to install and secure the elastic buckle of the aromatherapy box lid. The elastic buckle is not easy to come out of the snap-hole, thus preventing the aromatherapy box lid from falling off the aromatherapy chamber and avoiding loss.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, from top to bottom, the elastic buckle includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, the first inclined surface being inclined toward the center of the aroma chamber away from the center, and the second inclined surface being inclined toward the center of the aroma chamber, the first inclined surface being adapted to abut against the middle shell.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By making the elastic buckle include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, with the second inclined surface tilted towards the center of the aroma diffuser chamber from top to bottom, the distance between the outer ends of the two elastic buckles is small at the bottom of the elastic buckle, making it easy to insert into the buckle hole. During the insertion process, due to the setting of the second inclined surface, the elastic buckle deforms, and the first inclined surface deforms accordingly. When the elastic buckle is installed in place, under the action of elasticity, the first inclined surface abuts against the middle shell, thereby fixing the position of the aroma diffuser box lid. When it is necessary to remove the aroma diffuser box lid, simply pull the aroma diffuser box lid upward to separate the aroma diffuser box lid from the aroma diffuser chamber, which is convenient for installation and removal.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the angle between the first inclined surface and the vertical plane is b, and the angle between the second inclined surface and the vertical plane is a, where a < b.

[0014] Beneficial effects: By making the angle between the second inclined surface and the vertical plane smaller than the angle between the first inclined surface and the vertical plane, it is easier to install and remove the aromatherapy box lid, and the aromatherapy box lid is less likely to fall out of the aromatherapy chamber.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle and the aromatherapy chamber is d, where 0.6mm ≤ d ≤ 0.9mm.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The engagement amount between the elastic buckle and the aroma diffuser compartment is between 0.6mm and 0.9mm, which facilitates the installation and removal of the aroma diffuser box lid. At the same time, the aroma diffuser box lid is not easy to fall off from the aroma diffuser compartment. It has been verified that users have a good feel when removing the aroma diffuser box lid.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, a guide surface is provided on the top side of the card hole away from the center of the aromatherapy chamber;

[0018] And / or, the card hole is a flared opening that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The guide surface design facilitates the insertion of the elastic buckle into the locking hole. During the installation of the aromatherapy box lid, the lower end of the elastic buckle first contacts the guide surface. Under the continuous compression of the guide surface, the elastic buckle undergoes elastic deformation and smoothly inserts into the locking hole. Because the locking hole is a flared opening that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it can guide water dripping from above, allowing the water to flow smoothly through the locking hole to the base.

[0020] In one alternative embodiment, the aromatherapy box lid is provided with a stop rib, which is adapted to press against the top surface of the aromatherapy component.

[0021] Beneficial effect: The stop rib presses against the top surface of the aromatherapy unit, which can fix the aromatherapy unit in the vertical direction.

[0022] In one optional embodiment, the aromatherapy box lid is provided with mating ribs extending in its circumferential direction, and the side wall of the aromatherapy chamber is provided with a plurality of supporting ribs, which are used to support the installation of the mating ribs and limit the surrounding area of ​​the aromatherapy component.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The mating ribs allow for a smaller contact area between the aromatherapy box lid and the aromatherapy chamber, ensuring a smooth fit. The supporting ribs not only support the mating ribs that hold the aromatherapy box lid in place, but also limit the lateral and longitudinal movements of the aromatherapy unit, preventing it from wobbling.

[0024] In one alternative embodiment, the aromatherapy box lid is further provided with an oil drip hole for adding aromatherapy essential oils.

[0025] Beneficial effects: By setting an oil drip hole on the aromatherapy box lid, essential oils can be dripped into the aromatherapy unit, and the essential oils are released upward through the evaporation hole, making it more convenient for users to use.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, the present invention provides an electrical device including a housing and the aforementioned aromatherapy system.

[0027] Beneficial effects: The aroma diffuser compartment is integrally formed with the inner shell, thus preventing the diffuser box from being lost. Furthermore, the diffuser box lid and the diffuser compartment are connected by snaps, which keeps the aroma diffuser components inside the compartment in place, preventing them from falling out when the dryer is moved. This also facilitates the installation or replacement of the aroma diffuser components, further preventing their loss. Therefore, compared to related technologies, this electrical appliance not only prevents the loss of the aroma diffuser box but also facilitates the replacement of the aroma diffuser components, thus avoiding their loss.

[0028] In one alternative embodiment, the aromatherapy chamber is provided with a drainage structure.

[0029] Beneficial effects: By setting up a drainage structure in the aroma diffuser chamber, the water used for cleaning the aroma diffuser chamber can be discharged through the drainage structure, thus making it easy to clean the aroma diffuser chamber.

[0030] In one alternative embodiment, the drainage structure includes a drainage hole located at the bottom wall of the aromatherapy chamber.

[0031] Beneficial effects: By setting a drain hole at the bottom wall of the aroma diffuser, the cleaning water can be discharged downward through the drain hole when cleaning the aroma diffuser, thus making it easy to clean the aroma diffuser.

[0032] In one optional embodiment, the aroma chamber is provided with locking holes on both sides, and the aroma box lid is provided with elastic buckles on both sides at the lower end. The elastic buckles pass through the locking holes and engage with the middle shell. The drainage structure includes the locking holes.

[0033] Beneficial effects: The snap hole is used to install and fix the lid of the aromatherapy box. Water falling from above can flow down through the snap hole into the water guiding structure of the base. The structure is simple and compact.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, the drainage structure further includes a water-guiding rib located at the bottom of the aromatherapy chamber and extending downward, the water-guiding rib being positioned close to the locking hole.

[0035] Beneficial effect: The water guide ribs can prevent dripping water from splashing onto electrical components.

[0036] In one optional embodiment, the electrical device further includes:

[0037] The base is equipped with a water guiding structure, which can collect water dripping from the drainage structure.

[0038] Beneficial effects: The aroma diffuser compartment is integrally formed with the inner shell, thus preventing the diffuser box from being lost. Furthermore, the drainage structure within the diffuser compartment allows water used for cleaning to drain out and be collected by a water-guiding structure, facilitating cleaning. Therefore, compared to related technologies, this electrical device both prevents the aroma diffuser box from being lost and facilitates its cleaning.

[0039] In one optional embodiment, the minimum height of the water-guiding structure is H2, the height of the water-guiding rib in the vertical direction is H1, and the distance between the bottom surface of the aroma chamber and the bottom wall of the water-guiding structure is H, where H≥H1>0 and H≥H2>0.

[0040] Beneficial effect: By ensuring H≥H1>0 and H≥H2>0, it has been verified that the design requirements for rain test can be met.

[0041] In one alternative implementation, H1 + H2 ≥ H.

[0042] Beneficial effects: By ensuring that H1+H2≥H, i.e., the water-guiding ribs extend to a position flush with the top of the water-guiding structure or to the inner side of the water-guiding structure, it can be ensured that water dripping from the water-guiding holes will not splash onto electrical components. In an optional embodiment, the electrical device includes a heating element assembly disposed in the base, and the distance between the aromatherapy chamber and the air outlet of the heating element assembly is L2, where 50mm≤L2≤80mm.

[0043] Beneficial effects: The aroma diffuser chamber and the air outlet need to be kept at a certain distance. If the distance is too close, the temperature will be too high and the evaporation will be too fast, requiring frequent addition of aromatherapy essential oils; if the distance is too far, the temperature will be too low and the diffusion speed will be too slow, taking a long time for clothes to be thoroughly soaked. Keeping the distance between the aroma diffuser chamber and the air outlet of the heating element component between 50mm and 80mm can avoid evaporation being too fast or too slow.

[0044] In one alternative embodiment, the distance between the projection of the side of the drainage structure near the heating element assembly onto the base and the water guiding structure is D, where D > 0.

[0045] Beneficial effect: By making the distance between the projection of the drainage structure on the base and the water guiding structure D, where D>0, that is, the projection of the drainage structure on the base is located inside the water guiding structure, water can be prevented from splashing onto electrical components.

[0046] In one alternative implementation, the electrical appliance is a clothes dryer. Attached Figure Description

[0066] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0067] The following is combined Figures 1 to 16 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a first aspect, an aromatherapy system is provided, including an aromatherapy chamber 3 and an aromatherapy box lid 7.

[0069] The aroma diffuser chamber 3 is formed within the inner shell 1 of the electrical appliance, and is suitable for placing aroma diffuser components 4 that can generate scents inside. The aroma diffuser box lid 7 is connected to the aroma diffuser chamber 3 by a snap-fit, and the aroma diffuser box lid 7 is provided with multiple evaporation holes 702 suitable for the passage of scents.

[0070] In this embodiment, the aroma diffuser 3 is formed into the inner shell 1, meaning the aroma diffuser 3 and the inner shell 1 are an integral structure. This prevents the aroma diffuser box from being lost. Furthermore, the aroma diffuser box lid 7 is connected to the aroma diffuser 3 via a snap-fit ​​connection, which limits the position of the aroma diffuser component 4 inside the aroma diffuser 3, preventing the component 4 from leaving the aroma diffuser 3 when the electrical device is moved. This also facilitates the installation or replacement of the aroma diffuser component 4 within the aroma diffuser 3, making it convenient for the user and preventing the component 4 from being lost. Therefore, compared with related technologies, this aroma diffuser system not only prevents the aroma diffuser box from being lost but also facilitates the replacement of the aroma diffuser component, thus preventing its loss.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, the aromatherapy component 4 is aromatherapy cotton.

[0072] In one embodiment, to facilitate the user to reach into the aroma diffuser 3 to replace the aroma diffuser component 4, an installation position 301 is reserved on one side of the aroma diffuser 3, through which the user can reach into the aroma diffuser 3.

[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and 9 As shown, there are locking holes 303 on both sides of the aroma diffuser 3, and elastic buckles 701 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the aroma diffuser box cover 7. The elastic buckles 701 pass through the locking holes 303 and are engaged with the middle shell 1.

[0074] In this embodiment, the locking hole 303 is provided for installing and fixing the elastic buckle 701 of the aromatherapy box cover 7. The elastic buckle 701 is not easy to come out of the locking hole 303, so the aromatherapy box cover 7 can be prevented from falling off the aromatherapy chamber 3 and lost.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 9 As shown, there are two card holes 303 and two elastic buckles 701.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figure 15 As shown, the elastic buckle 701 includes a first inclined surface 7011 and a second inclined surface 7012. The first inclined surface 7011 is inclined in a direction away from the center of the aroma chamber 3, and the second inclined surface 7012 is inclined in a direction towards the center of the aroma chamber 3. The first inclined surface 7011 is adapted to abut against the middle shell 1.

[0077] In this embodiment, the elastic buckle 701 includes a first inclined surface 7011 and a second inclined surface 7012. From top to bottom, the second inclined surface 7012 is inclined towards the center of the aroma chamber 3. At the lowest point of the elastic buckle 701, the distance between the outer ends of the two elastic buckles 701 is small, which facilitates smooth insertion into the card hole 303. During the insertion process, due to the setting of the second inclined surface 7012, the elastic buckle 701 deforms, and the first inclined surface 7011 deforms accordingly. When the elastic buckle 701 is installed in place, under the action of elasticity, the first inclined surface 7011 abuts against the middle shell 1, thereby fixing the position of the aroma chamber cover 7. When it is necessary to remove the aroma chamber cover 7, it is only necessary to pull the aroma chamber cover 7 upward to separate the aroma chamber cover 7 from the aroma chamber 3, which is convenient for installation and removal.

[0078] In one embodiment, the angle between the first inclined surface 7011 and the vertical plane is b, and the angle between the second inclined surface 7012 and the vertical plane is a, where a < b.

[0079] In this embodiment, by making the angle between the second inclined surface 7012 and the vertical plane smaller than the angle between the first inclined surface 7011 and the vertical plane, it is easier to install and remove the aromatherapy box cover 7, and at the same time, the aromatherapy box cover 7 is less likely to fall out of the aromatherapy chamber 3.

[0080] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle 701 and the aromatherapy chamber 3 is d, where 0.6mm≤d≤0.9mm.

[0081] In this embodiment, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle 701 and the aroma diffuser 3 is between 0.6mm and 0.9mm, which facilitates the installation and removal of the aroma diffuser lid 7, while also preventing the aroma diffuser lid 7 from easily coming off the aroma diffuser 3. It has been verified that users have a good feel when removing the aroma diffuser lid 7.

[0082] As shown in the figure, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle 701 and the aroma chamber 3 refers to the horizontal projection width of the part of the first inclined surface that contacts the middle shell 1.

[0083] In one specific embodiment, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle 701 and the aroma diffuser 3 is 0.6mm, which facilitates the installation and removal of the aroma diffuser lid 7 while preventing the lid 7 from easily coming off the aroma diffuser 3. Verification has shown that users have a good feel when removing the aroma diffuser lid 7.

[0084] In another specific embodiment, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle 701 and the aroma diffuser 3 is 0.7mm, which facilitates the installation and removal of the aroma diffuser lid 7, while also preventing the aroma diffuser lid 7 from easily coming off the aroma diffuser 3. It has been verified that users have a good feel when removing the aroma diffuser lid 7.

[0085] In one specific embodiment, the engagement amount between the elastic buckle 701 and the aroma diffuser 3 is 0.9mm, which facilitates the installation and removal of the aroma diffuser lid 7 while preventing the lid 7 from easily coming off the aroma diffuser 3. Verification has shown that users have a good feel when removing the aroma diffuser lid 7.

[0086] In one embodiment, the top of the slot 303 is provided with a guide surface 304 on the side away from the center of the aroma chamber 3.

[0087] In this embodiment, the guide surface 304 facilitates the insertion of the elastic buckle 701 into the slot 303. During the installation of the aromatherapy box lid 7, the lower end of the elastic buckle 701 first contacts the guide surface 304. Under the continuous compression of the guide surface 304, the elastic buckle 701 undergoes elastic deformation and is smoothly inserted into the slot 303.

[0088] Specifically, the guide surface 304 is an inclined surface and is located on the top of the slot 303 away from the center of the aroma chamber 3. During the installation of the aroma box cover 7, the lower end of the elastic buckle 701 first contacts the guide surface 304. Under the continuous compression of the guide surface 304, the elastic buckle 701 undergoes elastic deformation and is smoothly inserted into the slot 303.

[0089] In one embodiment, the card hole 303 is a flared opening that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0090] In this embodiment, since the card hole 303 is a flared opening that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, it can guide the water dripping from above, allowing the dripping water to flow smoothly down through the card hole 303.

[0091] Of course, in one embodiment not shown in the figure, the card hole 303 can be a hole with the vertical dimensions remaining unchanged.

[0092] In one embodiment, the aromatherapy box cover 7 is provided with a stop rib 704, which is adapted to press against the top surface of the aromatherapy component 4.

[0093] In this embodiment, the stop rib 704 presses against the top surface of the aromatherapy component 4, which can fix the aromatherapy component 4 in the vertical direction.

[0094] In one embodiment, such as Figure 14 As shown, the aromatherapy box lid 7 is provided with a mating rib 705 extending in its circumferential direction, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the side wall of the aroma chamber 3 is provided with several support ribs 306. The support ribs 306 are used to support the installation of the aroma chamber lid 7 and limit the surrounding area of ​​the aroma chamber component 4.

[0095] In this embodiment, the mating rib 705 allows for a smaller contact area between the aromatherapy box lid 7 and the aromatherapy chamber 3, which helps ensure a smooth fit. The support rib 306 not only supports the mating rib 705 for mounting the aromatherapy box lid 7, but also limits the left-right and front-back directions of the aromatherapy component 4 to prevent it from shaking.

[0096] In one specific embodiment, the top of the support rib 306 is provided with an L-shaped groove, the aromatherapy box cover 7 is installed on the horizontal end of the L-shaped groove, the vertical end of the L-shaped groove limits the aromatherapy box cover 7 to prevent the aromatherapy box cover 7 from shaking, and the end of the support rib 306 near the center of the aromatherapy chamber 3 abuts against the aromatherapy component 4 to limit the aromatherapy component 4 in the left-right and front-back directions to prevent the aromatherapy component 4 from shaking.

[0097] In one embodiment, the aromatherapy box lid 7 is also provided with an oil drip hole 703 for adding aromatherapy essential oil.

[0098] In this embodiment, by providing an oil drip hole 703 on the aromatherapy box lid 7, aromatherapy essential oil can be added to the aromatherapy component 4. The essential oil is released upward through the evaporation hole 702, making it more convenient for users to use.

[0099] In one specific embodiment, the oil drip hole 703 is located in the middle of the aromatherapy box cover 7, and multiple evaporation holes 702 are provided and surround the oil drip hole 703.

[0100] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a second aspect, an electrical device is provided, including a housing and the aforementioned aromatherapy system.

[0101] In this embodiment, the aroma diffuser compartment is integrally formed with the inner shell, thus preventing the aroma diffuser box from being lost. Furthermore, the aroma diffuser box lid is connected to the aroma diffuser compartment via a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which limits the position of the aroma diffuser component inside the compartment, preventing it from falling out when the dryer is moved. This also facilitates the installation or replacement of the aroma diffuser component, further preventing its loss. Therefore, compared to related technologies, this electrical device not only prevents the aroma diffuser box from being lost but also facilitates the replacement of the aroma diffuser component, thus avoiding its loss.

[0102] In one embodiment, the aromatherapy chamber 3 is equipped with a drainage structure.

[0103] In this embodiment, by providing a drainage structure in the aroma diffuser 3, the water used for cleaning the aroma diffuser 3 can be discharged through the drainage structure, thus facilitating the cleaning of the aroma diffuser 3.

[0104] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the drainage structure includes a drainage hole 302 located on the bottom wall of the aromatherapy chamber 3.

[0105] In this embodiment, by providing a drain hole 302 at the bottom wall of the aroma diffuser 3, the cleaning water can be discharged downward through the drain hole 302 when cleaning the aroma diffuser 3, thus facilitating the cleaning of the aroma diffuser 3.

[0106] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the drainage structure may include a perforated grid provided on the bottom wall of the aroma diffuser 3, so that when cleaning the aroma diffuser 3, the cleaning water can be discharged downward through the perforated grid.

[0107] In another embodiment not shown in the figure, the aroma chamber 3 may not have a bottom wall, that is, the bottom of the aroma chamber 3 is a frame-like structure, and when cleaning the aroma chamber 3, the cleaning water is discharged downward through the bottom.

[0108] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and 9 As shown, the aroma chamber 3 has a locking hole 303 on both sides, and the aroma box cover 7 has an elastic buckle 701 on both sides at the lower end. The elastic buckle 701 passes through the locking hole 303 and is engaged with the middle shell 1. The drainage structure includes the locking hole 303.

[0109] In this embodiment, the snap hole 303 is used to install and fix the elastic buckle 701 of the aromatherapy box lid 7, and water falling from the clothes can flow down through the snap hole 303, making the structure simple and compact.

[0110] In one embodiment, the drainage structure further includes a water guide rib 305 located at the bottom of the aroma chamber 3 and extending downward, with the water guide rib 305 positioned near the card hole 303.

[0111] Beneficial effect: The water guide rib 305 can prevent dripping water from splashing onto electrical components.

[0112] In one embodiment, the electrical device further includes a base 2. The base 2 is provided with a water guiding structure 201, which is capable of collecting water dripping from the drainage structure.

[0113] In this embodiment, the middle shell 1 is formed with the aroma diffuser compartment 3, meaning the aroma diffuser compartment 3 and the middle shell 1 are an integral structure. This prevents the aroma diffuser box from being lost. Furthermore, by providing a drainage structure in the aroma diffuser compartment 3, water used for cleaning the compartment can be drained through the drainage structure and collected by the water guiding structure 201, thus facilitating cleaning of the aroma diffuser compartment 3. Therefore, compared with related technologies, this electrical device both prevents the aroma diffuser box from being lost and facilitates cleaning of the aroma diffuser box.

[0114] It should be noted that, in addition to collecting water dripping from the drain structure, the water guiding structure 201 can also guide water to the outlet of the dryer or the water storage box, preventing water dripping from the drain structure from flowing into the electrical components inside the base 2.

[0115] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 13As shown, the water guiding structure 201 is specifically a retaining bar, which is U-shaped. Water dripping from the drainage structure flows into the inner side of the retaining bar and then flows out through the side without the retaining bar.

[0116] In one embodiment, the minimum height of the water guiding structure 201 is H2, the height of the water guiding rib 305 in the vertical direction is H1, and the distance between the bottom surface of the aroma chamber 3 and the bottom wall of the water guiding structure 201 is H, where H≥H1>0 and H≥H2>0.

[0117] In this embodiment, the water guide rib 305 can guide the water dripping from the card hole 303 to the water guide structure 201 of the base 2. By making H≥H1>0 and H≥H2>0, it has been verified that the design requirements of the rain test can be met.

[0118] In a preferred embodiment, H1 + H2 ≥ H.

[0119] In this embodiment, by making H1+H2≥H, that is, extending the water guide rib 305 to a position flush with the top of the water guide structure 201 or extending to the inside of the water guide structure 201, it can be ensured that water dripping from the water guide hole will not splash onto the electrical components.

[0120] In one embodiment, the electrical device includes a heating element assembly 6 disposed in the base 2, and the distance between the aromatherapy chamber 3 and the air outlet of the heating element assembly 6 is L2, 50mm≤L2≤80mm.

[0121] In this embodiment, the aromatherapy chamber 3 and the air outlet need to be kept at a certain distance. If the distance is too close, the temperature will be too high and the evaporation will be too fast, requiring frequent addition of aromatherapy essential oils; if the distance is too far, the temperature will be too low and the diffusion speed will be too slow, taking a long time for clothes to be thoroughly soaked. This embodiment keeps the distance between the aromatherapy chamber 3 and the air outlet of the heating element component 6 between 50mm and 80mm, which can avoid evaporation that is too fast or too slow.
