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] To achieve automatic adjustment of fragrance concentration, some aromatherapy devices on the market are equipped with electronic control mechanisms that automatically adjust the fragrance concentration according to user commands. However, the additional electronic control mechanism increases production and operating costs, and establishing communication and circuit connections can create more potential points of failure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by this invention is that the additional electronic control mechanism for aromatherapy devices to automatically adjust the fragrance concentration results in excessively high production and operating costs, and creates more potential points of failure.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an aromatherapy device that can adjust the fragrance concentration using the air-blowing blades of an air conditioner, resulting in lower production and operating costs and a longer service life.

[0006] An embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0007] An aromatherapy device, comprising:

[0008] The main body is used to connect with an air conditioner. The main body has a material chamber and multiple fragrance outlet holes. The material chamber is used to contain fragrance material and communicates with the outside through the multiple fragrance outlet holes.

[0009] A top cover is rotatably mounted on the main body and covers the material cavity; the top cover is provided with a shielding part.

[0010] A linkage mechanism is rotatably mounted on the main body and cooperates with the top cover. The linkage mechanism is used to cooperate with the air sweeping blades of the air conditioner to drive the top cover to rotate relative to the main body under the drive of the air sweeping blades, so as to drive the shielding part to block or open different numbers of the fragrance outlet holes.

[0011] The aromatherapy device provided in this embodiment of the invention, in practical applications, uses a linkage mechanism that works in conjunction with the air conditioner's sweeping blades. Driven by the sweeping blades, the top cover rotates relative to the main body, causing the blocking part to block or open different numbers of fragrance outlets, thereby adjusting the fragrance concentration. Therefore, the aromatherapy device provided in this embodiment can adjust the fragrance concentration through the air conditioner's sweeping blades, resulting in lower production and operating costs and a longer service life.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the main body is provided with two fragrance outlets, which are located on opposite sides of the material cavity, and each fragrance outlet is provided with multiple fragrance outlet holes.

[0013] The number of the blocking parts is two, and the two blocking parts are used to simultaneously block or open multiple fragrance holes in the two fragrance outlet parts.

[0014] One of the two fragrance outlets has multiple fragrance holes for airflow to enter from the air outlet, while the other of the two fragrance outlets has multiple fragrance holes for airflow to exit, thus carrying out the fragrance. The two shielding parts simultaneously cover or open the two fragrance outlets, thereby achieving reliable regulation of the fragrance concentration.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the material cavity is cylindrical, and the two fragrance outlets are located at the two ends of the same diameter within the cross-section of the material cavity. The top cover is rotatably disposed at one end of the material cavity in the axial direction and is used to rotate coaxially relative to the material cavity under the drive of the linkage mechanism. The plurality of fragrance outlet holes corresponding to any one of the fragrance outlets are arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the material cavity in sequence.

[0016] As the top cover rotates relative to the main body, the shielding part sequentially seals or opens multiple fragrance outlets, achieving smooth adjustment of the fragrance concentration.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, both of the shielding parts are located inside the material cavity, and both of the shielding parts are provided with arc-shaped mating surfaces that fit against the side wall of the material cavity.

[0018] The shielding part is located inside the material chamber, which can prevent interference with other components of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the arc-shaped mating surface on the shielding part can achieve a tight fit with the side wall of the material chamber, thereby achieving reliable sealing of the fragrance outlet.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the main body includes a box and a base, the base being used to connect to the air conditioner, the box being disposed on the base, the material chamber and the plurality of fragrance outlets being located on the box, the top cover being rotatably connected to the box, and the linkage mechanism being rotatably disposed on the base.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, a mounting bracket is provided across the base, the mounting bracket is disposed opposite to the side of the top cover away from the material cavity, and the linkage mechanism is rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket and cooperates with the side of the top cover away from the material cavity.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a swing member, a connecting member, and a mating assembly. One end of the swing member is rotatably mated with the main body, and the other end of the swing member is connected to the top cover via the mating assembly. The connecting member is used to engage with the swing member when connected to the sweeping blades. The rotation plane of the swing member is parallel to the rotation plane of the top cover.

[0022] The rotation plane of the swing component is parallel to the rotation plane of the top cover, ensuring that the top cover can rotate smoothly on the main body during the rotation of the swing component.

[0023] 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. The main body is provided with a mounting post, 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, one end of the swing member is provided with a mating hole, which penetrates the swing member in a direction perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the swing 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 swing member and the stop block respectively, and the stop block abuts against the side of the top cover away from the material cavity.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a limiting block is protruding on the side of the top cover away from the material cavity. 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 push the top cover 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 top cover.

[0029] The limiting block is equipped with a guide slope and a stop surface, which allows the stop block to adjust the rotation angle of the top cover in one direction, thereby realizing the one-way adjustment of the fragrance concentration.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, there are multiple limiting blocks, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the same circular trajectory on the side of the top cover away from the material cavity, and the center line of the swing member's rotation passes through the center of the circular trajectory.

[0031] Multiple limit blocks are spaced apart, allowing the stop blocks to intermittently adjust the rotation angle of the top cover, thereby achieving intermittent adjustment of the fragrance concentration.

[0032] 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 main body for connecting to the air conditioner, the main body having a material chamber and multiple fragrance outlets, the material chamber for containing fragrance material, and the material chamber communicating with the outside through the multiple fragrance outlets; a top cover rotatably disposed on the main body and covering the material chamber, the top cover having a shielding portion; and a linkage mechanism rotatably disposed on the main body and cooperating with the top cover, the linkage mechanism cooperating with the air sweeping blades of the air conditioner to drive the top cover to rotate relative to the main body under the drive of the air sweeping blades, thereby causing the shielding portion to block or open different numbers of the fragrance outlets. The indoor unit has a middle frame, an air outlet is disposed on the middle frame, and an air sweeping blade is disposed inside the air outlet. The main body is connected to the middle frame and is located in the middle of the air outlet, the air sweeping blade cooperating with the linkage mechanism.

[0033] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment of the invention has an indoor unit whose sweeping blades drive the top cover of the aromatherapy device to rotate relative to the main body, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the aroma concentration 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

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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, on which an air outlet 13 is provided, and a sweeping blade 14 is provided inside the air outlet 13. The aromatherapy device 100 is installed on the middle frame 12 at the center of the air outlet 13, and the sweeping blade 14 cooperates with the aromatherapy device 100 to adjust the fragrance concentration during the swinging and sweeping process of the sweeping blade 14. It is understood that the indoor unit 11 also has a base 115, a panel, and a fan, etc., and these are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0047] The aromatherapy device 100 is used to hold aromatherapy materials. When the air conditioner 10 is operating normally, the airflow blown out of the indoor air outlet 13 will flow through the aromatherapy device 100. 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 3 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the connection structure between the aromatherapy device 100 and the indoor unit 11.

[0050] The aromatherapy device 100 includes a main body 110, a top cover 120, and a linkage mechanism 130. The main body 110 is mounted on a middle frame 12 and has a material cavity 111 and multiple fragrance outlet holes 112. The material cavity 111 is used to contain fragrance material and communicates with the outside through the multiple fragrance outlet holes 112. The top cover 120 is rotatably mounted on the main body 110 and covers the material cavity 111. The top cover 120 is provided with a shielding part 121. The linkage mechanism 130 is rotatably mounted on the main body 110 and cooperates with the top cover 120. The linkage mechanism 130 is used to cooperate with the air sweeping blades 14 of an air conditioner so that the top cover 120 rotates relative to the main body 110 under the drive of the air sweeping blades 14, thereby causing the shielding part 121 to shield or open different numbers of fragrance outlet holes 112.

[0051] In practical applications, during the sweeping process of the sweeping blades 14, the linkage mechanism 130 drives the top cover 120 to rotate on the main body 110 under the drive of the sweeping blades 14. When the top cover 120 rotates to different positions relative to the main body 110, the blocking part 121 provided on the top cover 120 blocks different numbers of fragrance outlet holes 112. The fragrance outlet holes 112 that are not blocked by the blocking part 121 can allow airflow to pass through smoothly to release fragrance, thereby realizing the adjustment of fragrance concentration.

[0052] The main body 110 is provided with two fragrance outlets 113, which are located on opposite sides of the material chamber 111. Each fragrance outlet 113 is provided with multiple fragrance outlet holes 112. There are two blocking parts 121, which are used to simultaneously block or open the multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 in the two fragrance outlets 113.

[0053] In this embodiment, both fragrance outlet sections 113 are permeated with multiple fragrance outlet holes 112, and the material chamber 111 is connected to the outside through the fragrance outlet holes 112 of the two fragrance outlet sections 113. It can be understood that during normal operation of the air conditioner 10, the airflow from the air outlet 13 of the indoor unit 11 first enters the material chamber 111 through the multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 corresponding to one of the two fragrance outlet sections 113, and then flows out of the material chamber 111 through the multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 corresponding to the other fragrance outlet section 113. During this process, it carries particles of the volatile fragrance material, achieving the fragrance effect. The two fragrance outlet sections 113 are positioned on opposite sides of the material chamber 111, ensuring that the multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 in the two areas are positioned opposite each other. This ensures that the airflow can quickly flow out of the material chamber 111 without changing direction after entering it, preventing the airflow from stagnating in the material chamber 111 for too long and achieving a better fragrance effect.

[0054] It is understandable that the aromatherapy device 100 has different structural states depending on the number of fragrance outlets 112 blocked by the blocking part 121.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 , Figure 4 The diagram shows the aroma diffuser 100 in its maximum fragrance concentration state. In this state, both fragrance outlets 113 on the main body 110 are completely open, meaning neither outlet is covered by the obstruction part 121. In other words, airflow is possible through either fragrance outlet hole 112 on the two outlets 113, resulting in the maximum fragrance concentration of the aroma diffuser 100 in this state.

[0056] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 , Figure 5The diagram shows the structure of the aroma diffuser 100 in a moderate fragrance concentration state. In this state, the two fragrance outlets 113 on the main body 110 are each partially blocked by the two blocking parts 121 on the top cover 120; that is, half of the multiple fragrance holes 112 on any one fragrance outlet 113 are blocked by the blocking part 121. Under these conditions, the fragrance concentration of the aroma diffuser 100 is... Figure 3 The aroma concentration is half of that shown in the diagram.

[0057] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 , Figure 6 The diagram shows the aromatherapy device 100 in its minimum fragrance concentration state. In this state, the two fragrance outlets 113 on the main body 110 are completely blocked by the two blocking parts 121 on the top cover 120, meaning that all fragrance outlet holes 112 on any fragrance outlet 113 are blocked by the corresponding blocking part 121. In other words, there are no fragrance outlet holes 112 that allow airflow in this state; therefore, the fragrance concentration of the aromatherapy device 100 is at its minimum, which is zero.

[0058] In this embodiment, the material cavity 111 is cylindrical, and the two fragrance outlets 113 are located at the two ends of the same diameter within the cross-section of the material cavity 111. The top cover 120 is rotatably disposed at one end of the material cavity 111 in the axial direction and is used to rotate coaxially with respect to the material cavity 111 under the drive of the linkage mechanism 130. Multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 corresponding to any fragrance outlet 113 are arranged circumferentially in sequence on the side wall of the material cavity 111.

[0059] In fact, in this embodiment, since the top cover 120 rotates coaxially with the material cavity 111 under the drive of the linkage mechanism 130, and multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 corresponding to any fragrance outlet part 113 are arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the material cavity 111 in sequence, during the rotation of the top cover 120, the blocking part 121 on the top cover 120 sequentially covers or opens multiple fragrance outlet holes 112.

[0060] It is understandable that during the process of the linkage mechanism 130 driving the top cover 120 to rotate relative to the base 115, the blocking part 121 sequentially covers or opens multiple fragrance holes 112, which can achieve smooth adjustment of fragrance concentration. Theoretically speaking, the more fragrance holes 112 there are, the higher the adjustment accuracy of fragrance concentration.

[0061] In another embodiment, only one fragrance outlet 112 may be provided through the fragrance outlet 113, extending on the side wall of the material chamber 111. In this embodiment, during the adjustment of the fragrance concentration, the blocking part 121 sequentially blocks or opens the area on the fragrance outlet 112.

[0062] In this embodiment, both shielding parts 121 are located inside the material cavity 111, and both shielding parts 121 are provided with arc-shaped mating surfaces 1211, which are in contact with the side wall of the material cavity 111.

[0063] It is understood that in this embodiment, the shielding part 121 is disposed inside the material cavity 111. That is, as the top cover 120 rotates, the shielding part 121 sequentially shields or opens multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 from inside the material cavity 111, avoiding interference from other components of the indoor unit 11 during the rotation of the shielding part 121. In other embodiments, without considering this issue, the shielding part 121 can also be disposed outside the material cavity 111, that is, the shielding part 121 shields or opens the end of the fragrance outlet hole 112 that communicates with the outside.

[0064] Corresponding to the two oppositely arranged fragrance outlets 113, in this embodiment, the two blocking parts 121 are arranged opposite each other in the same diameter direction of the top cover 120. In order to achieve a tight fit with the side wall of the material cavity 111, thereby ensuring that the blocking part 121 can reliably block the fragrance outlet 112, both blocking parts 121 are provided with arc-shaped mating surfaces 1211, which fit with the side wall of the material cavity 111.

[0065] In this embodiment, the main body 110 includes a box body 114 and a base 115. The base 115 is used to connect with an air conditioner. The box body 114 is disposed on the base 115. The material chamber 111 and multiple fragrance outlet holes 112 are located on the box body 114. The top cover 120 is rotatably connected to the box body 114. The linkage mechanism 130 is rotatably disposed on the base 115.

[0066] Furthermore, a mounting bracket 116 is provided on the base 115. The mounting bracket 116 is arranged opposite to the side of the top cover 120 away from the material cavity 111. The linkage mechanism 130 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 116 and cooperates with the side of the top cover 120 away from the material cavity 111.

[0067] In this embodiment, the box body 114 is cylindrical, and the top cover 120 is a circular plate structure, and the top cover 120 is rotatably disposed at one end of the axial opening of the box body 114. During normal operation of the air conditioner 10, the air outlet 13 of the indoor unit 11 blows air radially along the box body 114. The airflow blown out of the air outlet 13 can flow into the material chamber 111 directly or at a certain angle from the fragrance outlet hole 112 of one of the fragrance outlet sections 113, and then carry the fragrance material particles out through the fragrance outlet hole 112 of the other fragrance outlet section 113.

[0068] The linkage mechanism 130 includes a swing member 131, a connecting member 133, and a mating assembly 135. One end of the swing member 131 is rotatably mated with the main body 110, and the other end of the swing member 131 is connected to the top cover 120 via the mating assembly 135. The connecting member 133 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 top cover 120.

[0069] In practical applications, when the sweeping blades 14 swing and sweep, the connecting piece 133 pushes the swinging piece 131 to rotate. During the rotation of the swinging piece 131, the cooperating component 135 drives the top cover 120 to rotate on the box body 114, so that the two blocking parts 121 on the top cover 120 rotate to different positions relative to the two fragrance outlet parts 113 on the box body 114, thereby realizing the adjustment of the fragrance concentration of the aromatherapy device 100.

[0070] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 , Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the swing component 131.

[0071] 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 main body 110 is provided with a mounting post 117. The mounting post 117 is inserted into the mounting hole 1311. The swing member 131 is used to rotate around the mounting post 117 under the drive of the connecting member 133.

[0072] Mounting post 117 protrudes from mounting bracket 116, and its extension direction is parallel to the axis of housing 114 and top cover 120. Swing member 131 is fitted onto mounting post 117 through mounting hole 1311. It is understood that mounting post 117 defines the rotation direction of swing member 131 relative to base 115 and prevents translation of swing member 131 relative to base 115, ensuring stable and reliable rotation.

[0073] 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 133 is used to be inserted into the strip hole 1312 when the sweeping blade 14 is connected.

[0074] In this embodiment, the connector 133 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 133 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.

[0075] One end of the swing member 131 is provided with a mating hole 1313, which passes through the swing member 131 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation plane of the swing member 131. The mating assembly 135 includes a spring 1351 and a push rod 1352. The push rod 1352 passes through the mating hole 1313 and slides in fit with the mating hole 1313. One end of the push rod 1352 is provided with a stop block 1353. The spring 1351 is sleeved on the push rod 1352, and both ends of the spring 1351 abut against the swing member 131 and the stop block 1353 respectively. The stop block 1353 abuts against the side of the top cover 120 away from the material chamber 111.

[0076] It is understood that in this embodiment, the spring 1351 is always in a compressed state. That is, the spring 1351 continuously provides a force to the top rod 1352 to hold the top cover 120 by abutting against the swing member 131 and the stop block 1353, ensuring that the top rod 1352 and the top cover 120 are always abutting against each other. In other embodiments, the combination structure of the mating component 135 can also be adjusted according to the actual application conditions.

[0077] 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 133, causing the swing member 131 to rotate around the mounting post 117, the wall of the mating hole 1313 applies a force in the rotational direction to the push rod 1352, thereby causing the push rod 1352 to push the top cover 120 to rotate on the housing 114. Furthermore, compared to the connector 133, the push rod 1352 is further away from the mounting post 117, meaning the push rod 1352 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 top cover 120 to rotate into place.

[0078] Please refer to the following: Figure 8 , Figure 8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the top cover 120.

[0079] A limiting block 122 is protruding on the side of the top cover 120 away from the material chamber 111. The limiting block 122 is provided with a guide slope 1221 and a stop surface 1222. The swing member 131 is used to drive the stop block 1353 to abut against the stop surface 1222 during the forward rotation, so as to push the top cover 120 to rotate synchronously. The swing member 131 is also used to drive the stop block 1353 to pass over the limiting block 122 along the guide slope 1221 during the reverse rotation, so as to rotate relative to the top cover 120.

[0080] In fact, there are multiple limit blocks 122. Multiple limit blocks 122 are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the same circular trajectory on the side of the top cover 120 away from the material cavity 111. The center line of rotation of the swing member 131 passes through the center of the circular trajectory.

[0081] 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 1353 of the top rod 1352 to slide on the side of the top cover 120 away from the material chamber 111. During the process of the swing member 131 being driven by the sweeping blade 14 to drive the stop block 1353 to rotate in the forward direction, the stop block 1353 can slide along the area between the two limiting blocks 122 on the top cover 120 until it abuts against the stop surface 1222 of one of the limiting blocks 122, thereby pushing the top cover 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 1353 to rotate in the reverse direction, the stop block 1353 can slide along the surface of the top cover 120 onto the guide slope 1221 provided on any one of the limiting blocks 122, thereby passing over the limiting block 122, and the top cover 120 does not rotate.

[0082] As can be seen, in this embodiment, the fragrance concentration adjustment of the aromatherapy device 100 is achieved during the unidirectional rotation of the top cover 120, and there is a gap between two adjacent rotations, which can prevent the top cover 120 from continuously rotating in both directions with the sweeping blades 14, thus avoiding the inability to achieve the ideal fragrance effect.

[0083] In summary, the aromatherapy device 100 provided in this embodiment can adjust the fragrance concentration through 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 this 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.

[0084] 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.
