Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an aromatherapy device and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Some air conditioners on the market are equipped with aromatherapy devices, which are installed in the air outlet duct of the indoor unit and emit fragrance with the airflow from the indoor unit.

[0003] In order to switch between on and off states, aromatherapy devices on the market are equipped with an electronic control mechanism. This mechanism controls the aromatherapy device to turn on or off fragrance based on the user's instructions.

[0004] Adding an extra electronic control mechanism to an aromatherapy device increases production costs, energy consumption during application increases operating costs, and establishing communication and circuit connections creates more potential points of failure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The problem solved by this invention is that the aromatherapy device requires an additional electronic control mechanism to control its opening and closing state, which results in excessively high production and usage costs and creates more potential points of failure.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an aromatherapy device that can switch between open and closed states by controlling the airflow vanes of an air conditioner, resulting in lower production and operating costs and a longer service life.

[0007] An embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0008] An aromatherapy device, comprising:

[0009] A base for connecting to an air conditioner, and the base is provided with a cover.

[0010] An aromatherapy module is rotatably mounted on the base, and the aromatherapy module has an aroma outlet for dispensing fragrance.

[0011] A linkage mechanism is rotatably mounted on the base and cooperates with the aromatherapy module. The linkage mechanism is used to cooperate with the air sweeping blades of the air conditioner so that, driven by the air sweeping blades, the aromatherapy module rotates relative to the base to a closed state or an open state.

[0012] In the closed state, the fragrance outlet is completely sealed by the capping part; in the open state, the fragrance outlet is at least partially open.

[0013] The aromatherapy device provided in this embodiment of the invention, in practical applications, uses a linkage mechanism that works in conjunction with the air purifier's sweeping blades. Driven by the sweeping blades, the aromatherapy module rotates relative to the base to either an open or closed state. In the open state, the sealing part on the base at least partially opens the fragrance outlet of the aromatherapy module, allowing it to emit fragrance normally. In the closed state, the sealing part completely seals the fragrance outlet, and the aromatherapy module does not emit fragrance. Therefore, the aromatherapy device provided in this embodiment can control the opening and closing states via the air purifier's sweeping blades, resulting in lower production and operating costs and a longer service life.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the aromatherapy module has a material cavity for containing aromatherapy materials, and the number of aroma outlets is two, with the two aroma outlets disposed on opposite sides of the material cavity;

[0015] The number of the sealing parts is two, and the two sealing parts are respectively located on opposite sides of the aromatherapy module. The two sealing parts are used to simultaneously seal or open the two aroma outlets.

[0016] Depending on the angle of rotation of the aromatherapy module relative to the base, airflow enters through one of the two fragrance outlets, while the remaining outlet allows airflow to exit, carrying the fragrance. The two sealing caps simultaneously close or open the two fragrance outlets for better opening and closing performance.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the fragrance outlet is provided with a plurality of fragrance outlet holes, and the material cavity is connected to the outside through the fragrance outlet holes;

[0018] In the closed state, the cap seals all the fragrance outlet holes on the corresponding fragrance outlet; in the open state, the cap opens at least some of the fragrance outlet holes on the corresponding fragrance outlet.

[0019] The aromatherapy module can switch between multiple concentration adjustment states. In different concentration adjustment states, the number of fragrance outlets sealed by the cap varies, resulting in different fragrance concentrations. Therefore, the aromatherapy device provided in this embodiment can also automatically adjust the fragrance concentration driven by the airflow vanes of an air conditioner.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the plurality of fragrance outlets are arranged sequentially at intervals in the rotation direction of the aromatherapy module. During the rotation of the aromatherapy module relative to the base, the sealing part sequentially seals or opens the plurality of fragrance outlets.

[0021] As the aromatherapy module rotates relative to the base, the sealing part sequentially seals or opens multiple fragrance outlets, achieving smooth adjustment of the fragrance concentration.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the aromatherapy module is cylindrical, the center line of rotation of the aromatherapy module relative to the base coincides with the axis of the aromatherapy module, and the two fragrance outlets are located at opposite ends of the same diameter within the cross-section of the aromatherapy module.

[0023] The two fragrance outlets are located at opposite ends of the same diameter within the cross-section of the aromatherapy module. This ensures that after the airflow enters through one fragrance outlet, it can quickly exit through the other, preventing the airflow from staying inside the aromatherapy module for too long and ensuring the fragrance effect.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the base has a mounting bracket spanning between the two sealing portions, the mounting bracket being disposed opposite to the end wall of one end of the aromatherapy module, and the linkage mechanism being rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket and cooperating with the corresponding end wall of the aromatherapy module.

[0025] Driven by the air-sweeping blades, the linkage mechanism rotates on the mounting frame, thereby applying a force parallel to the rotation direction of the linkage mechanism to the end wall corresponding to the aromatherapy module, thus causing the aromatherapy module to rotate relative to the base.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a swinging component, a connecting component, and a mating assembly. One end of the swinging component is rotatably mated with the base, and the other end of the swinging component is connected to the aromatherapy module via the mating assembly. The connecting component is used to engage with the swinging component when connected to the air sweeping blades. The rotation plane of the swinging component is parallel to the rotation plane of the aromatherapy module.

[0027] The rotation plane of the oscillating component is parallel to the rotation plane of the aromatherapy module, ensuring that the aromatherapy module can rotate smoothly on the base during the rotation of the oscillating component.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, one end of the swing member is provided with a mounting hole, which penetrates the swing member in a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the swing member. A mounting post is provided on the base, which is inserted into the mounting hole. The swing member is used to rotate around the mounting post under the drive of the connecting member.

[0029] By inserting the mounting post into the mounting hole, the translation of the swinging component relative to the base is restricted, and support is provided for the rotation of the swinging component.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the oscillating member is provided with a strip-shaped hole that penetrates the oscillating member in a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the oscillating member, and the connecting member is used to be inserted into the strip-shaped hole when the sweeping blade is connected.

[0031] When the sweeping blades are connected, the connector inserts into the slotted hole. The slotted hole provides a certain amount of relative sliding space for the connector, preventing the sweeping blades from getting stuck and ensuring smooth swinging. Furthermore, during the swinging process, the connector pushes the side wall of the slotted hole, causing the swinging component to rotate smoothly.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, one end of the oscillating member is provided with a mating hole, which penetrates the oscillating member in a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the oscillating member; the mating assembly includes a spring and a push rod, the push rod passes through the mating hole and slides in engagement with the mating hole, one end of the push rod is provided with a stop block, the spring is sleeved on the push rod, and both ends of the spring abut against the oscillating member and the stop block respectively, and the stop block abuts against the outer surface of the aromatherapy module.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the outer surface of the aromatherapy module is provided with a mating end wall that abuts against the stop block. The mating end wall is perpendicular to the center line of rotation of the aromatherapy module. A limiting block is protruding on the mating end wall. The limiting block is provided with a guide slope and a stop surface. The swing member is used to drive the stop block to abut against the stop surface during forward rotation, so as to drive the aromatherapy module to rotate synchronously. The swing member is also used to drive the stop block to pass over the limiting block along the guide slope during reverse rotation, so as to rotate relative to the aromatherapy module.

[0034] The limit block is equipped with a guide slope and a stop surface, so that the stop block can adjust the rotation angle of the aromatherapy module in one direction.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple limiting blocks, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the same circular trajectory on the mating end wall, and the center line of rotation of the swinging member passes through the center of the circular trajectory.

[0036] Multiple limit blocks are spaced apart, allowing the stop blocks to intermittently adjust the rotation angle of the aromatherapy module.

[0037] An embodiment of the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including an indoor unit and the aforementioned aromatherapy device. The aromatherapy device includes a base, an aromatherapy module, and a linkage mechanism. The base is provided with a sealing portion. The aromatherapy module is rotatably mounted on the base and has an aroma outlet for emitting fragrance. The linkage mechanism is rotatably mounted on the base and cooperates with the aromatherapy module. The indoor unit has a middle frame with an air outlet. A sweeping blade is provided inside the air outlet. The base is connected to the middle frame and is located in the middle of the air outlet. The sweeping blade cooperates with the linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism is used to drive the aromatherapy module to rotate relative to the base to an open or closed state under the drive of the sweeping blade. In the open state, the sealing portion completely opens the aroma outlet; in the closed state, the sealing portion completely covers the aroma outlet.

[0038] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment of the invention uses the air sweeping blades of the indoor unit to drive the aromatherapy device to switch between an on and off state, thereby achieving automatic control of the on and off state of the aromatherapy device and avoiding the need for additional electrical control mechanisms. This results in lower production and operating costs and a longer service life. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0049] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The diagram shown is a partial structural schematic of the air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the connection structure between the aroma diffuser 100 and the indoor unit 11.

[0051] The air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment includes an indoor unit 11 and an aromatherapy device 100. The indoor unit 11 has a middle frame 12, and an air outlet 13 is provided on the middle frame 12. A sweeping blade 14 is provided inside the air outlet 13. The aromatherapy device 100 is installed on the middle frame 12 at the middle position of the air outlet 13, and the sweeping blade 14 cooperates with the aromatherapy device 100. During the swinging and sweeping process of the sweeping blade 14, the aromatherapy device 100 is driven to switch between an on state and an off state.

[0052] It is understood that when the device is on, the aromatherapy device 100 emits fragrance, and when it is off, the aromatherapy device 100 stops emitting fragrance. The indoor unit 11 also has a base 110, a panel, and a fan, among other conventional structures and components, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0053] Aromatherapy device 100 is used to hold aromatherapy materials. When the air conditioner 10 is running normally, the airflow blown out of the indoor air outlet 13 will flow through the aromatherapy device 100. If the aromatherapy device 100 is in the open state, the airflow carries the particles of aromatherapy materials volatilized from the aromatherapy device 100 to the indoor space, thereby realizing the aromatherapy device 100 emits fragrance.

[0054] In this embodiment, the aromatherapy device 100 is located in the middle of the air outlet 13, which means that the air outlet 13 is located in the middle of its length direction. The aromatherapy device 100 is located in this position, which can ensure that the aromatherapy device 100 can evenly distribute the fragrance to the airflow on both sides of the indoor unit 11 during the airflow process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of fragrance and improving the user experience.

[0055] In this embodiment, the aromatherapy device 100 includes a base 110, an aromatherapy module 120, and a linkage mechanism 130. The base 110 is mounted on the middle frame 12 and has a sealing part 111. The aromatherapy module 120 is rotatably mounted on the base 110 and has an aroma outlet 121 for emitting fragrance. The linkage mechanism 130 is rotatably mounted on the base 110 and cooperates with the aromatherapy module 120. The linkage mechanism 130 cooperates with the air sweeper blade 14 of the air conditioner so that, driven by the air sweeper blade 14, the aromatherapy module 120 rotates relative to the base 110 to a closed state or an open state. In the closed state, the aroma outlet 121 is completely sealed by the sealing part 111. In the open state, the aroma outlet 121 is at least partially open.

[0056] The aromatherapy module 120 has a material cavity for containing aromatherapy materials. The fragrance outlet 121 effectively connects the material cavity to the outside, providing a channel for airflow to enter and exit the material cavity. In practical applications, during the sweeping process of the sweeping blades 14, the linkage mechanism 130, driven by the sweeping blades 14, rotates the aromatherapy module 120 relative to the base 110 to either an open or closed state. Without the addition of an additional electrical control mechanism, the automatic switching of the open and closed states of the aromatherapy device 100 is achieved.

[0057] There are two fragrance outlets 121, which are located on opposite sides of the material chamber. There are also two sealing caps 111, which are located on opposite sides of the aromatherapy module 120. The two sealing caps 111 are used to simultaneously seal or open the two fragrance outlets 121.

[0058] In this embodiment, both fragrance outlets 121 are provided with multiple fragrance outlet holes 122, and the material chamber is connected to the outside through the fragrance outlet holes 122 provided in the two fragrance outlets 121. It can be understood that in the closed state, the two sealing parts 111 completely seal the two fragrance outlets 121, that is, the two sealing parts 111 completely block the multiple fragrance outlet holes 122 provided in the two fragrance outlets 121, thereby preventing the aromatherapy module 120 from releasing fragrance.

[0059] In practical applications, when the air outlet 13 is in the open state, the airflow first enters the material chamber through multiple fragrance outlet holes 122 corresponding to one of the two fragrance outlet sections 121, and then flows out of the material chamber through multiple fragrance outlet holes 122 corresponding to the other fragrance outlet section 121. During this process, it carries the volatile particles of the aromatherapy material, achieving the fragrance effect. The two fragrance outlet sections 121 are located on opposite sides of the material chamber, ensuring that the multiple fragrance outlet holes 122 in the two areas can be arranged opposite each other. This ensures that the airflow can flow out quickly without changing direction after entering the material chamber, avoiding the airflow from staying in the material chamber for too long and obtaining a better fragrance effect.

[0060] In fact, aside from switching the on / off state of the aromatherapy module 120, in this embodiment, the fragrance concentration of the aromatherapy module 120 can also be adjusted by the sweeping blade 14 when it is on. That is, driven by the sweeping blade 14, the aromatherapy module 120 is rotated to different positions relative to the base 110, so that the sealing part 111 on the base 110 seals different numbers of fragrance outlet holes 122 on the corresponding fragrance outlet part 121.

[0061] It is understandable that, depending on the number of fragrance outlet holes 122 on the sealing part 111, the aromatherapy device 100 has a variety of different structures when it is in the open state.

[0062] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates one structural feature of the aromatherapy device 100 in its activated state. Figure 3 As can be seen, in this state, both fragrance outlets 121 on the aromatherapy module 120 are completely open, meaning that neither fragrance outlet 121 is sealed by the sealing part 111. In other words, airflow is allowed through either fragrance outlet hole 122 on the two fragrance outlets 121. It is understandable that the fragrance concentration of the aromatherapy device 100 is at its maximum in this state.

[0063] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 , Figure 4 The diagram shows another structural schematic of the aromatherapy device 100 in the activated state. Figure 4 It can be seen that in this state, some of the fragrance outlet holes 122 on any one of the fragrance outlet sections 121 of the aromatherapy module 120 are covered by the cover section 111. In other words, only some of the fragrance outlet holes 122 remain open for airflow in both fragrance outlet sections 121. It is understandable that the fragrance concentration of the aromatherapy device 100 is lower in this state compared to... Figure 3 The aroma concentration is lower in the state shown.

[0064] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 , Figure 5 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the aromatherapy device 100 in the closed state. Figure 5As can be seen, in the closed state, all the fragrance outlet holes 122 corresponding to the two fragrance outlet sections 121 on the aromatherapy module 120 are completely sealed by the two sealing parts 111. In other words, in the closed state, there are no fragrance outlet holes 122 on the two fragrance outlet sections 121 that allow airflow.

[0065] In fact, in this embodiment, multiple fragrance outlets 122 are arranged sequentially at intervals in the rotation direction of the aromatherapy module 120. During the rotation of the aromatherapy module 120 relative to the base 110, the cover part 111 sequentially covers or opens multiple fragrance outlets 122.

[0066] It is understandable that during the process of the linkage mechanism 130 driving the aroma module 120 to rotate relative to the base 110, the sealing part 111 sequentially seals or opens multiple fragrance holes 122, which can achieve smooth adjustment of the fragrance concentration. Theoretically speaking, the more fragrance holes 122 there are, the higher the adjustment accuracy of the fragrance concentration.

[0067] In another embodiment, a single fragrance outlet 122 may be provided through the fragrance outlet section 121, extending along the rotation direction of the aromatherapy module 120. In this embodiment, when the aromatherapy device 100 is in the open state, at least a portion of the fragrance outlet 122 is open, allowing airflow to pass smoothly; when the aromatherapy device 100 is in the closed state, the fragrance outlet 122 is completely covered by the capping portion 111, preventing airflow. During the adjustment of the fragrance concentration, the capping portion 111 sequentially covers or opens areas on the fragrance outlet 122.

[0068] In this embodiment, the aromatherapy module 120 is cylindrical, and the center line of rotation of the aromatherapy module 120 relative to the base 110 coincides with the axis of the aromatherapy module 120. The two fragrance outlets 121 are located at both ends of the same diameter within the cross-section of the aromatherapy module 120.

[0069] In fact, during normal operation of the air conditioner 10, the air outlet 13 of the indoor unit 11 blows air radially along the aromatherapy module 120. When the aromatherapy device 100 is in the open state, the airflow blown out of the air outlet 13 can flow into the material chamber directly or at a certain angle from the aroma outlet hole 122 of one of the aroma outlet sections 121, and then carry the aromatherapy material particles out from the aroma outlet hole 122 of the other aroma outlet section 121.

[0070] In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 112 spans between the two sealing portions 111 on the base 110. The mounting bracket 112 is positioned opposite to the end wall of one end of the aromatherapy module 120. The linkage mechanism 130 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 112 and engages with the corresponding end wall of the aromatherapy module 120. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the linkage mechanism 130 may also be rotatably engaged with other parts on the base 110, as long as the rotation plane of the linkage mechanism 130 is parallel to the rotation plane of the aromatherapy module 120.

[0071] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 , Figure 6 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the linkage mechanism 130.

[0072] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism 130 includes a swing member 131, a connector 132, and a mating assembly 133. One end of the swing member 131 is rotatably mated with the base 110, and the other end of the swing member 131 is connected to the aromatherapy module 120 via the mating assembly 133. The connector 132 is used to mat with the swing member 131 when connected to the sweeping blade 14. The rotation plane of the swing member 131 is parallel to the rotation plane of the aromatherapy module 120.

[0073] In practical applications, when the sweeping blades 14 swing and sweep, the connecting member 132 pushes the swinging member 131 to rotate. During the rotation of the swinging member 131, the cooperating component 133 drives the aromatherapy module 120 to rotate on the base 110, so that the two fragrance outlets 121 on the aromatherapy module 120 rotate to different positions relative to the two sealing parts 111 on the base 110, thereby realizing the switching of the opening and closing state of the aromatherapy device 100 and the adjustment of the fragrance concentration.

[0074] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 , Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the swing component 131.

[0075] One end of the swing member 131 is provided with a mounting hole 1311. The mounting hole 1311 passes through the swing member 131 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the swing member 131. The base 110 is provided with a mounting post 113. The mounting post 113 is inserted into the mounting hole 1311. The swing member 131 is used to rotate around the mounting post 113 under the drive of the connector 132.

[0076] The mounting post 113 protrudes from the mounting bracket 112, and its extension direction is parallel to the axis of the aromatherapy module 120. The oscillating member 131 is fitted onto the mounting post 113 through the mounting hole 1311. It is understood that the mounting post 113 defines the rotation direction of the oscillating member 131 relative to the base 110 and prevents translational displacement of the oscillating member 131 relative to the base 110, ensuring stable and reliable rotation.

[0077] The swing member 131 is provided with a strip hole 1312, which passes through the swing member 131 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the swing member 131. The connector 132 is used to be inserted into the strip hole 1312 when the sweeping blade 14 is connected.

[0078] In this embodiment, the connector 132 is a rivet, the tip of which passes through the sweeping blade 14 and extends into the slot 1312 of the oscillating member 131. During the oscillating and sweeping process of the sweeping blade 14, the connector 132 can slide within the slot 1312 and also push the oscillating member 131 to rotate, ensuring that the sweeping blade 14 can rotate smoothly and preventing the sweeping blade 14 from being locked by the oscillating member 131 due to assembly size limitations when it rotates to a certain position.

[0079] The swing member 131 has a mating hole 1313 at one end away from the mounting hole 1311. The mating hole 1313 passes through the swing member 131 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the swing member 131. The mating assembly 133 includes a spring 1331 and a push rod 1332. The push rod 1332 passes through the mating hole 1313 and slides in fit with the mating hole 1313. One end of the push rod 1332 is provided with a stop block 1333. The spring 1331 is sleeved on the push rod 1332, and the two ends of the spring 1331 abut against the swing member 131 and the stop block 1333 respectively. The stop block 1333 abuts against the outer surface of the aromatherapy module 120.

[0080] It is understood that in this embodiment, the spring 1331 is always in a compressed state. That is, the spring 1331, by abutting against the swing member 131 and the stop block 1333, continuously provides a force to the top rod 1332 to abut against the end face of the aromatherapy module 120, ensuring that the top rod 1332 and the end face of the aromatherapy module 120 are always in contact. In other embodiments, the combination structure of the mating component 133 can also be adjusted according to the actual application conditions.

[0081] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 1311 and the mating hole 1313 are located at opposite ends of the length of the strip hole 1312. In practical applications, when the sweeping blade 14 pushes the sidewall of the strip hole 1312 via the connector 132, causing the swing member 131 to rotate around the mounting post 113, the wall of the mating hole 1313 applies a force in the rotational direction to the push rod 1332, thereby causing the push rod 1332 to push the aromatherapy module 120 to rotate on the base 110. Furthermore, compared to the connector 132, the push rod 1332 is further away from the mounting post 113, meaning the push rod 1332 can obtain a larger rotation path, thus ensuring that even when the sweeping blade 14 sweeps at a small angle, it can still drive the aromatherapy module 120 to rotate into place.

[0082] Please refer to the following: Figure 8 , Figure 8The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the aromatherapy module 120.

[0083] The outer surface of the aromatherapy module 120 is provided with a mating end wall 123 that abuts against the stop block 1333. The mating end wall 123 is perpendicular to the center line of rotation of the aromatherapy module 120. A limiting block 124 is protruding on the mating end wall 123. The limiting block 124 is provided with a guide slope 1241 and a stop surface 1242. The swing member 131 is used to drive the stop block 1333 to abut against the stop surface 1242 during forward rotation, so as to drive the aromatherapy module 120 to rotate synchronously. The swing member 131 is also used to drive the stop block 1333 to pass over the limiting block 124 along the guide slope 1241 during reverse rotation, so as to rotate relative to the aromatherapy module 120.

[0084] In fact, there are multiple limit blocks 124, which are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the same circular trajectory on the mating end wall 123, and the center line of rotation of the swing member 131 passes through the center of the circular trajectory.

[0085] The direction of positive rotation is as follows Figure 8 The direction indicated by the middle X arrow is the opposite direction of the rotation. Figure 8 The direction indicated by the Y-arrow. In practical applications, when the swing member 131 rotates under the drive of the sweeping blade 14, the swing member 131 drives the stop block 1333 of the top rod 1332 to slide on the mating end wall 123 of the aromatherapy module 120. During the process of the swing member 131 being driven by the sweeping blade 14 to drive the stop block 1333 to rotate in the forward direction, the stop block 1333 can slide along the surface of the mating end wall 123 between the two limit blocks 124 to abut against the stop surface 1242 of one of the limit blocks 124, thereby pushing the aromatherapy module 120 to rotate in the forward direction; during the process of the swing member 131 being driven by the sweeping blade 14 to drive the stop block 1333 to rotate in the reverse direction, the stop block 1333 can slide along the surface of the mating end wall 123 onto the guide slope 1241 provided on any one of the limit blocks 124, thereby passing over the limit block 124, and the aromatherapy module 120 does not rotate.

[0086] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the switching of the opening and closing state of the aroma module 120 and the adjustment of the fragrance concentration are both achieved during the unidirectional rotation process, and there is a gap between two adjacent rotations, which can prevent the aroma module 120 from continuously rotating in both directions with the sweeping blade 14, thus avoiding the inability to achieve the ideal fragrance effect.

[0087] In summary, the aromatherapy device 100 provided in this embodiment can switch between on and off states by controlling the air sweeper blades 14 of the air conditioner, resulting in lower production and operating costs and a longer service life. Benefiting from the advantages of the aromatherapy device 100, the air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment features lower production and operating costs, a longer service life, and a better user experience.

[0088] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
