[0034] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0035] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 12 A secondary instrument panel assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, and the secondary instrument panel assembly 1 includes at least a portion of an onboard humidification system 4 .

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the sub-instrument panel assembly 1 according to the present invention includes: a sub-instrument panel 2, a spray bearing platform and a vehicle-mounted humidification system 4, and the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 includes: a spray generator 41, the spray generator 41 is arranged on the spray bearing platform, and the spray bearing platform is arranged on the sub-instrument panel 2, and the spray bearing platform can be raised and lowered relative to the sub-instrument panel 2, so that the corresponding spray generator 41 can be raised and lowered with the spray bearing platform, so that a suitable height can be selected for spraying. Among them, the spray bearing platform can be a cup holder cover 32, and can also be other liftable structural parts on the sub-instrument panel 2.

[0037] The following description will be made by taking the spray bearing platform as the cup holder cover 32 as an example.

[0038] Specifically, the cup holder cover 32 is a part of the cup holder 3, and the cup holder 3 includes: a cup holder body 31, a cup holder cover 32 and a lifting mechanism 33. The cup holder body 31 is arranged on the auxiliary instrument panel 2, and the lifting mechanism 33 is arranged between the cup holder body 31 and the cup holder cover 32 to selectively lift and lower the cup holder cover 32. The vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 includes: a spray generator 41, and the spray generator 41 is arranged on the cup holder cover 32; wherein, the cup holder cover 32 has a first position and a second position. When the cup holder cover 32 is located at the first position, the cup holder cover 32 is located at the bottom of the cup holder body 31 and forms a accommodating groove for accommodating the cup body with the cup holder body 31. When the cup holder cover 32 is located at the second position, the cup holder cover 32 is located above the cup holder body 31, so that the spray generator 41 can be turned on to spray mist.

[0039] It can be understood that the auxiliary instrument panel 2, the cup holder 3 and the vehicle-mounted humidifying system 4 constitute the main structure of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 1. The cup holder 3 and the vehicle-mounted humidifying system 4 are arranged in the auxiliary instrument panel 2, so that the auxiliary instrument panel 2 can protect the cup holder 3 and the vehicle-mounted humidifying system 4, thereby extending the service life of the vehicle-mounted humidifying system 4. The cup holder body 31, the cup holder cover 32 and the lifting mechanism 33 constitute the main structure of the cup holder 3. The cup holder body 31 is located on the auxiliary instrument panel 2, and the cup holder cover 32 is located at the upper end of the cup holder body 31. One end of the lifting structure is connected to the cup holder body 31, and the other end is connected to the cup holder cover 32. The lifting mechanism 33 can rise and fall, thereby driving the cup holder cover 32 to rise and fall relative to the cup holder body 31. The spray generator 41 is located on the cup holder cover 32, so that the spray generator 41 can emit mist, thereby adjusting the air humidity in the vehicle. For example, when the cup holder cover 32 is raised, it is located above the cup holder body 31 , and the cup holder 3 can be set at a comfortable position for the main and front passenger. By lowering the head toward the center of the cup holder 3 , the effect of "cold compress bath" can be achieved to refresh the face, thereby improving health and comfort.

[0040] The first position is at the lower end relative to the cup holder body 31, and the second position is at the upper end relative to the cup holder body 31. When the cup holder cover 32 is at the first position, the cup holder cover 32 is located below the cup holder body 31, and the cup holder body 31 can form a receiving groove, so that it is convenient to place items in the receiving groove. When the cup holder cover 32 is at the second position, the cup holder cover 32 is located above the cup holder body 31. This setting can turn on the spray generator 41, so that the spray generator 41 can emit mist over a large area, thereby adjusting the air humidity in the car.

[0041] Therefore, by arranging the cup holder 3 and the vehicle humidification system 4 on the auxiliary instrument panel 2, the humidity in the vehicle can be adjusted, and the cup holder 3 can be raised and lowered. Such an arrangement enables the cup holder 3 to have the functions of humidification and placing items, that is, items can be placed when the cup holder 3 is lowered, and air conditioning can be performed when the cup holder 3 is raised, so that the structure of the auxiliary instrument panel 2 can be compact and easy to operate, thereby improving the comfort in the vehicle.

[0042] Among them, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the spray generator 41 includes: an atomizing element 42, an air supply element 43 and a nozzle 44. The air supply element 43 is arranged at the lower side of the atomizing element 42, and the nozzle 44 is arranged at the upper side of the atomizing element 42 and communicated with the atomizing element 42. That is to say, the atomizing element 42, the air supply element 43 and the nozzle 44 constitute the main structure of the spray generator 41. The air supply element 43 is located at the lower side of the atomizing element 42, and the nozzle 44 is located at the upper side of the atomizing element 42, so that the nozzle 44, the atomizing element 42 and the air supply element 43 can be arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the air supply element 43 transfers water to the atomizing element 42, and the atomizing element 42 atomizes the water into mist and then sprays it from the nozzle 44, so that the spray generator 41 can adjust the air humidity in the vehicle.

[0043] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the nozzle 44 includes: a nozzle body 441 and a sealing assembly 442. The nozzle body 441 is formed with an inner cavity, a mist inlet channel and a mist outlet channel. The inner cavity is connected between the mist inlet channel and the mist outlet channel. The mist inlet channel is connected to the atomizer 42. The sealing assembly 442 is arranged in the inner cavity and selectively closes the mist inlet channel. It can be understood that the nozzle body 441 and the sealing component 442 constitute the main structure of the nozzle 44, and the interior of the nozzle 44 body forms an inner cavity, so that the mist can flow through the inner cavity, the mist inlet channel is located at the lower end of the nozzle body 441, and the mist outlet channel is located at the upper end of the nozzle body 441, and the mist outlet channel, the inner cavity and the mist inlet channel are connected from top to bottom, so that the mist generated by the atomizer 42 can flow into the inner cavity from the mist inlet channel, and then disperse through the mist outlet channel, thereby adjusting the air humidity in the vehicle, and the sealing component 442 is located in the inner cavity. This arrangement can make the sealing component 442 close the mist inlet channel, or the sealing component 442 open the mist inlet channel, so that the sealing component 442 can prevent the mist from flowing back, thereby improving the air conditioning effect.

[0044] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the nozzle body 441 includes: a first nozzle shell 443, a second nozzle shell 444 and a third nozzle shell 445, the first nozzle shell 443 is provided with a first through hole, the second nozzle shell 444 includes: a plate body and a rod body, the rod body is connected to the plate body, the plate body and the first nozzle shell 443 are spaced apart, the rod body is penetrated by the first through hole to form a mist inlet channel between the plate body and the first nozzle shell 443, and between the rod body and the first nozzle shell 443, the third nozzle shell 445 is arranged on the first nozzle shell 443 and forms an inner cavity with the first nozzle shell 443, the third nozzle shell 445 is provided with a second through hole, the rod body is penetrated by the second through hole, and a mist outlet channel is formed between the rod body and the third nozzle shell 445.

[0045] It can be understood that the first nozzle shell 443, the second nozzle shell 444 and the third nozzle shell 445 constitute the main structure of the nozzle body 441, the first through hole is located on the first nozzle shell 443, the second through hole is located on the third nozzle shell 445, and the third through hole is located on the second nozzle shell 444, and the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole are interconnected, so as to facilitate the mist to disperse after passing through the nozzle body 441, and the plate body and the rod body constitute the main structure of the second nozzle shell 444, the plate body is arranged close to the first nozzle shell 443, one end of the rod body is connected to the plate body, and the other end is passed through the second through hole, so that the first nozzle shell 443, the second nozzle shell 444 and the third nozzle shell 445 can be connected, so that an inner cavity can be formed between the first nozzle shell 443 and the third nozzle shell 445, and a mist outlet channel can be formed between the rod body and the third nozzle shell 445, so as to facilitate the mist to be dispersed through the inner cavity and the mist outlet channel.

[0046] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the sealing assembly 442 includes: a sealing member 446 and an elastic member 447. The sealing member 446 is sleeved on the rod body, and the elastic member 447 is arranged between the sealing member 446 and the third nozzle shell 445, so that the elastic force for sealing the mist inlet channel can be provided to the sealing member 446. In other words, the sealing member 446 and the elastic member 447 constitute the main structure of the sealing assembly 442. The sealing member 446 is inserted into the rod body, and the elastic member 447 is located between the sealing member 446 and the third nozzle shell 445. Such an arrangement can enable the elastic member 447 to provide elastic force to the sealing member 446, so that the sealing member 446 can seal the mist inlet channel. This prevents the mist from flowing back and affecting the humidification effect.

[0047] In particular, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper surface of the cup holder cover 32 is provided with a support pad 321 protruding upward, and the upper surface of the support pad 321 is higher than the upper surface of the nozzle 44. It can be understood that the support pad 321 is located on the upper surface of the cup holder cover 32, and the support pad 321 is protruding relative to the upper surface of the cup holder cover 32, so that when the cup holder cover 32 is placed with an object, the support pad 321 can support the object and prevent the object from damaging the spray generator 41. For example, there are four support pads 321, and they are evenly spaced, and the support pads 321 are in a long strip shape, so that the area for supporting the object can be increased.

[0048] In addition, Figure 2As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 also includes: a humidification water tank 45 and a water pump assembly 46, and the water pump assembly 46 is respectively connected to the humidification water tank 45 and the spray generator 41. That is to say, the humidification water tank 45 and the water pump assembly 46 are located inside the auxiliary instrument panel 2, and the humidification water tank 45 can be moved relative to the auxiliary instrument panel 2, so as to facilitate the humidification water tank 45 to be filled with water, and the water pump assembly 46 is arranged at one end of the humidification water tank 45, and the other end of the water pump assembly 46 is connected to the spray generator 41, so that the water pump assembly 46 can pump the water in the humidification water tank 45 into the spray generator 41, and the spray generator 41 atomizes the water and disperses it into the vehicle, thereby adjusting the air humidity in the vehicle.

[0049] In particular, if Figure 4 As shown, a water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is provided between the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, and the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is telescopic between the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41. It can be understood that the upper end of the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is connected to the spray generator 41, and the lower end of the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is connected to the water pump assembly 46. This arrangement allows the water pumped out by the water pump assembly 46 to flow into the spray generator 41 through the water inlet telescopic pipe 5, and the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 can be compressed in the up and down directions, so that when the cup holder cover 32 moves from the second position to the first position, the water inlet telescopic pipe 5 is also compressed, and then the spray generator 41 can obtain the water in the humidification water tank 45.

[0050] Likewise, if Figure 4 As shown, a drainage telescopic pipe 6 is provided between the spray generator 41 and the humidification water tank 45, and the drainage telescopic pipe 6 is retractable between the spray generator 41 and the humidification water tank 45. That is, the upper end of the drainage telescopic pipe 6 is connected to the spray generator 41, and the lower end of the drainage telescopic pipe 6 is connected to the water pump assembly 46. This arrangement allows the unevaporated water of the spray generator 41 to flow back to the humidification water tank 45 through the drainage telescopic pipe 6, thereby realizing water circulation and water conservation, and the drainage telescopic pipe 6 can be compressed in the up-down direction, so that when the cup holder cover 32 moves from the second position to the first position, the drainage telescopic pipe 6 is also compressed, and then the unevaporated water of the spray generator 41 can flow back to the humidification water tank 45.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes: a switch assembly 47, which is arranged on the cup holder body 31, and the switch assembly 47 is electrically connected to the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 respectively; wherein, a touch portion 322 is arranged on the cup holder cover 32, and when the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, the touch portion 322 contacts the switch assembly 47, and the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 are electrically connected. It can be understood that the switch assembly 47 is located on the cup holder body 31, and the switch assembly 47 is connected to the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, so that the switch assembly 47 can control the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 respectively, and a touch portion 322 is provided on the cup holder cover 32. When the cup holder cover 32 is relative to the bottom of the cup holder body 31, the touch portion 322 is connected to the switch assembly 47, so that the switch assembly 47 can start and control the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, and then the water pump assembly 46 can pump the water in the humidification water tank 45 into the spray generator 41 for atomization.

[0052] In addition, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 further includes: a power switch 48, which is disposed on the cup holder cover 32, and the power switch 48 is electrically connected to the switch assembly 47, the water pump assembly 46, and the spray generator 41.

[0053] Among them, Figure 6 As shown, the switch assembly 47 includes: a circuit board 471, a crimping piece 472 and an elastic assembly 473. The circuit board 471 is provided with a switch, and the crimping piece 472 is arranged opposite to the switch. When the cup holder cover 32 is located in the second position, the touch portion 322 contacts the crimping piece 472. The elastic assembly 473 is arranged between the circuit board 471 and the crimping piece 472, so as to provide an elastic force for the crimping piece 472 to reset. It can be understood that the circuit board 471, the crimping component 472 and the elastic component 473 constitute the main structure of the switch assembly 47, the crimping component 472 is located below the circuit board 471, the switch is located above the circuit board 471, and the elastic component 447 is located between the circuit board 471 and the crimping component 472. When the cup holder cover 32 is in the second position, the touch portion 322 abuts against the crimping component 472, and the elastic component 447 provides a rebound force for the crimping component 472, so that the switch assembly 47 can start and control the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41, and then the water pump assembly 46 can pump the water in the humidification water tank 45 into the spray generator 41 for atomization.

[0054] In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism 33 includes: an active lifting arm 331, a driven lifting arm 332 and a driving member, one end of the active lifting arm 331 is movably connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 31 and the other end is movably connected to the cup holder cover 32, one end of the driven lifting arm 332 is hinged to the bottom of the cup holder body 31 and the other end is hinged to the cup holder cover 32, and the driving member is transmission-connected to the active lifting arm 331. That is to say, the active lifting arm 331, the driven lifting arm 332 and the driving member constitute the main structure of the lifting mechanism 33, the upper end of the active lifting arm 331 is connected to the cup holder cover 32, and the lower end of the active lifting arm 331 is connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 31. Similarly, the upper end of the driven lifting arm 332 is hingedly connected to the cup holder cover 32, and the lower end of the driven lifting arm 332 is hingedly connected to the bottom of the cup holder body 31, and the active lifting arm 331 and the driven lifting arm 332 are cross-arranged with each other to form countless triangular stable structures, and the driving member is connected to the active lifting arm 331, so that the driving member can drive the active lifting arm 331, and then link the driven lifting arm 332 to move to adjust the position of the cup holder cover 32.

[0055] In addition, Figure 7 As shown, the cup holder 3 further includes a locking mechanism 34, which selectively locks the cup holder cover 32 or the lifting mechanism 33. It can be understood that the locking mechanism 34 is located on one side of the cup holder 3, so that the locking mechanism 34 can lock the cup holder cover 32 or the lifting mechanism 33, thereby enabling the cup holder cover 32 to reach the position required by the user.

[0056] Next, combine Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The control method of the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 according to the present invention is described in detail.

[0057] The control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 comprises the following steps:

[0058] S1. Obtain the height of the spray bearing platform. It is understandable that the spray generator 41 is disposed on the cup holder cover 32, and the cup holder cover 32 can be raised and lowered relative to the cup holder body 31, so that the cup holder cover 32 has a first position and a second position and a height between the first position and the second position. When the cup holder cover 32 is located at the first position, the cup holder cover 32 is located at the bottom of the cup holder body 31, and the cup holder cover 32 and the cup holder body 31 form a receiving groove for receiving the cup body, so that it is convenient to place objects in the receiving groove. When the cup holder cover 32 is located at the second position, the cup holder cover 32 is located above the cup holder body 31.

[0059] S2. When receiving the instruction to start humidification, the spray intensity of the spray generator 41 is controlled according to the height of the spray support platform. After confirming that the humidification instruction of the user has been received, the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 is started, and the spray generator 41 starts working. Correspondingly, the water pump component 46 of the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 starts working at the same time, and the water pump component 46 pumps the water in the humidification water tank 45 to supply the spray generator 41, so that the spray generator 41 can be turned on to spray mist, and then the air humidity in the car can be adjusted. According to the position of the cup holder cover 32, that is, according to the height of the cup holder cover 32, the spray generator 41 is controlled to spray mist with different spray intensities to meet the needs of the user.

[0060] When the height of the spray bearing platform is the preset height, the spray generator 41 is controlled to be in a stop spraying state. The first position is the preset position, and when it is confirmed that the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, the spray generator 41 stops spraying.

[0061] Thus, by arranging the spray generator 41 on the cup holder cover 32 in a liftable manner, the user's humidification instruction can be realized by changing the height of the cup holder cover 32 to control the operation of the spray generator 41, thereby improving the convenience of the vehicle and the comfort of the user. The vehicle humidification system 4 arranged in this way is highly concealed and integrated on the auxiliary instrument panel 2 and the cup holder cover 32, which can improve the integration of the auxiliary instrument panel assembly 1.

[0063] Specifically, the cup holder cover 32 can be moved between the first position and the second position, and when the cup holder cover 32 is in the position between the first position and the second position, the spray generator 41 is turned on and works. Different heights of the cup holder cover 32 between the first position and the second position correspond to different spray intensities of the spray generator 41. For example, from bottom to top between the first position and the second position, the corresponding spray intensity of the spray generator 41 gradually increases, that is, the height of the cup holder cover 32 and the spray intensity of the spray generator 41 are positively correlated. This arrangement can enable the spray generator 41 to have different spray intensity modes, thereby facilitating the user to select an appropriate mode for spraying, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0064] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system also includes: a position sensor, which is used to detect the position of the spray supporting platform; the step of obtaining the height of the spray supporting platform includes: confirming the height of the spray supporting platform according to the position of the spray supporting platform detected by the position sensor.

That is to say, the switch component 47 is connected to the spray generator 41, and when the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, the cup holder cover 32 and the switch component 47 are not in contact, so that the switch component 47 and the spray generator 41 can be powered off, and then the cup holder cover 32 and the cup holder body 31 can form a receiving groove to place items, and when the cup holder cover 32 is between the first position and the second position and in the second position, the cup holder cover 32 is connected to the switch component 47 by touch, so that the switch component 47 and the spray generator 41 can be electrically connected, and the spray generator 41 is in a powered-on state, and the spray generator 41 can be turned on at any time, and then the spray generator 41 can be turned on for spraying.

[0067] Specifically, the user can change the height of the cup holder cover 32 to determine whether the cup holder cover 32 is touch-connected to the switch assembly 47, thereby enabling the user to implement various air conditioning modes such as manual, automatic, and air-conditioning linkage.

[0068] Among them, Fig. 9 and Fig.12 As shown, according to the information of whether the switch component 47 is touched by the spray support platform, the step of obtaining the position of the spray support platform includes: if the switch component 47 is touched by the spray support platform and is turned on, confirming that the height of the spray support platform reaches the maximum value.

[0069] Specifically, when the cup holder cover 32 is raised to the second position, that is, when the cup holder cover 32 is located above the cup holder body 31, the switch assembly 47 is connected to the cup holder cover 32 by touch control, so that the switch assembly 47 can be connected to the spray generator 41, and the spray generator 41 is in a powered-on state, and then the switch assembly 47 can control the spray generator 41 to spray. If the switch assembly 47 is touched and disconnected by the cup holder cover 32, it is confirmed that the cup holder cover 32 starts to descend from the predetermined position.

[0070] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Fig.10 As shown, the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 also includes: a humidification water tank 45, a water pump assembly 46 and a reminder module, and the water pump assembly 46 is respectively connected to the humidification water tank 45 and the spray generator 41.

[0071] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes the following steps: obtaining water level information in the humidification water tank 45; confirming that the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is lower than a first preset water level value, and controlling the reminder module to send a reminder signal.

[0072] Specifically, by setting a first preset water level value in the humidification water tank 45, when the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is lower than the first preset water level value, the reminder module sends a reminder signal, and the switch assembly 47 continues to communicate with the spray generator 41, so as to remind the user to add water to the humidification water tank 45, so as to ensure the continuous operation of the spray generator 41 and meet the user's use needs. The reminder module can be a display screen, which can display reminder information, and the reminder module can also be a speaker, which can play reminder information.

[0073] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the control method of the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes the following steps: confirming that the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is lower than a second preset water level value, and controlling the switch assembly 47 to disconnect, wherein the second preset water level value is lower than the first preset water level value.

[0074] Specifically, by setting a second preset water level value in the humidifying water tank 45, when the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 is lower than the second preset water level value, the switch assembly 47 is disconnected from the spray generator 41, thereby stopping the spray generator 41 from spraying, and the second preset water level value is lower than the first preset water level value, and there is a certain height difference between the first preset water level value and the second preset water level value, so that when the water level in the humidifying water tank 45 is lower than the first preset water level value, a reminder to add water is given, but the spray generator 41 can continue to work, thereby not affecting the air humidity in the vehicle. By timely disconnecting the switch assembly 47 from the spray generator 41, it is possible to prevent the spray generator 41 from continuing to work in the absence of water, thereby causing damage to the spray generator 41.

[0075] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the vehicle humidification system 4 also includes: a power switch 48 and a display screen; receiving the instruction to start humidification includes: receiving information that the power switch 48 is touched; receiving information that the humidification mode displayed on the display screen is touched.

[0076] Specifically, the power switch 48 is electrically connected to the switch assembly 47, the water pump assembly 46 and the spray generator 41 respectively. The user can manually control the power switch 48 to turn it on. When the power switch 48 is touched and turned on, the switch assembly 47 and the spray generator 41 are also turned on, so that the spray generator 41 can be turned on to spray. By obtaining the information of whether the power switch 48 is touched, it can be known whether the user manually issues a humidification instruction, and the power switch 48 can be set on the cup holder cover 32, which is convenient for the user to operate and can also improve the integration of the cup holder cover 32.

[0077] Among them, the display screen can display whether the spray generator 41 is started. When the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is sufficient, the display screen can select automatic mode or other modes to control the air humidity regulation controller, and the air humidity regulation controller then feeds back to the display screen through images or voice. When the switch component 47 is connected or disconnected with the spray generator 41, it can also be fed back to the display screen through images or voice. When the water level in the humidification water tank 45 is lower than the first preset water level value or lower than the second preset water level value, it will also be fed back to the display screen through images or voice, so that the user can adjust the air humidity in the car by observing the information on the display screen.

[0078] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Fig.12 As shown, the control method of the vehicle-mounted humidification system 4 also includes the following steps: confirming that the height of the spray support platform is a preset height, controlling the humidification mode displayed on the display screen to be in a disabled state, or controlling the spray generator 41 to stop working.

[0079] Specifically, when the cup holder cover 32 is in the first position, the switch assembly 47 and the spray generator 41 are not connected, so that the spray generator 41 can be in an off state, and the display screen will display corresponding feedback of the off state of the spray generator 41, and the humidification mode displayed on the display screen is in a disabled state, for example, the display screen is gray and cannot be adjusted, so that the user can control the opening and closing of the spray generator 41.
