[0033] The filter cover 3 has filter holes on its side. Inside the filter cover 3, opposite the filter holes, there is a heat dissipation plate 13. One side of the heat dissipation plate 13 is hinged to the filter cover 3, and the front end of the other side is slidably connected to the groove of the rotating ring 15. The front side of the rotating ring 15 is rotatably connected to the inclined rod 16, and the front end of the inclined rod 16 is rotatably connected to the broken line rod 17. The inclined rod 16 is tangent to the rotating ring 15, and the angle between the plane where the inclined rod 16 and the rotating ring 15 are located is an acute angle. The heat dissipation plate 13 has protrusions 14 opposite the filter holes to help seal the filter holes. The broken line rod 17, the inclined rod 16, the rotating ring 15 and the heat dissipation plate 13 are all metal and have good thermal conductivity.

[0034] A drive rod 28 is fixed to the middle of the zigzag rod 17. Pistons are connected to both ends of the drive rod 28, and the pistons slide within the piston cylinder 27. The piston cylinder 27 is connected to the insulation layer 30 via a connecting pipe 29. Two piston cylinders 27 are symmetrically arranged about the top and bottom of the fan 7. Two sets of serpentine tubes are provided inside the insulation layer 30. The two ends of the serpentine tubes are respectively connected to the two piston cylinders 27 on one side. The front side of the front piston cylinder 27 is connected to one end of the serpentine tube, and the rear side of the rear piston cylinder 27 is connected to the other end of the serpentine tube. The insulation layer 30 is fixed to the inside of the housing 1. A heating assembly 25 is provided on the housing 1 directly opposite the insulation layer 30. Several heating assemblies 25 are arranged circumferentially. The heating assembly 25 has a... A straight rod 24 is rotatably connected to the middle of the side. The end of the straight rod 24 away from the heating component 25 is rotatably connected to a disc 23. A screw sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the disc 23. The screw sleeve 22 is connected to a screw rod 21 through an internal thread. A movable armature 18 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the screw rod 21. The movable armature 18 is fixedly connected to the front end of the folded rod 17. An electromagnet 20 is provided behind the movable armature 18. The movable armature 18 and the screw sleeve 22 are slidably connected inside the guide cover 19 to improve the stability of movement. The heating component 25 is slidably connected to a guide frame 26. Two sets of guide frames 26 are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear to improve the stability of movement of the heating component 25. The fan 7 and the electromagnet 20 are electrically connected to the control board 5 and the switch 6.

[0035] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, by rotating the handle 4 until it forms a right angle with the housing 1, the switch 6 is turned on. The operating mode is controlled via the control panel 5. This part combines folding, display, and operation into one unit. Existing displays are generally located on the cylinder body, while buttons are on the handle, which is inconvenient. The temperature and fan speed buttons on the control panel 5 each have three settings, allowing for nine different modes. The control panel 5 controls the fan 7, electromagnet 20, and heating element 25 to work, sending out hot air. The electromagnet 20 drives the movable armature 18 to move rearward, compressing the spring and thus driving the screw 21. The screw 21 moves, and the thread on the outside of the screw 21 drives the screw sleeve 22 to rotate. The screw sleeve 22 then drives the straight rod 24 to move, pulling the heating component 25 to unfold outward along the guide frame 26. At the same time, the folding rod 17 drives the drive rod 28 to move, which in turn drives the piston to slide in the piston cylinder 27. The front piston cylinder 27 is filled with liquid, and the air in the rear piston cylinder 27 is forced into the serpentine tube of the insulation layer 30 to form an insulation effect. The folding rod 17 drives the inclined rod 16 to move, which in turn drives the rotating ring 15 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the heat dissipation plate 13 to open through the sliding groove, and the filter holes of the filter cover 3 open, blowing hot air.

[0036] Meanwhile, in the fragrance diffuser inside the container box 8, the air passes through the filter cover 3, is filtered by the filter screen 10, then passes through the fan 7 and the heating component 25, and finally is discharged from the air nozzle 2. The fragrance can be replaced by rotating the screw cap 9, and the filter screen 10 can be removed and cleaned by rotating the container box 8.

[0037] After switch 6 is closed, control board 5 controls electromagnet 20 to close via delay circuit. Movable armature 18 is reset under the action of spring, thereby driving heating component 25 to retract towards the center and away from the outer wall of housing 1. At the same time, liquid in front piston cylinder 27 is forced into serpentine tube in insulation layer 30, and internal air is drawn into rear piston cylinder 27 to cool the outer wall of housing 1 and reduce the temperature of housing 1.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
