[0005] However, the scent capsules of the above-mentioned aroma diffusers are standardized products from factories. Although they are often equipped with 4-6 scent capsules, the types of scents provided are still relatively limited and cannot well meet the personalized needs of users for scents, and everyone likes different scents;

[0006] In addition, the flavors corresponding to the odors in factory standardized odor capsules are often made through chemical products, which makes it difficult to meet users' pursuit of natural odors. Summary of the invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fragrance machine that can meet the personalized smell needs of users and can collect natural odors in view of the current status of the existing technology.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a fragrance machine, comprising a base, a first scent capsule arranged on the base;

[0009] The first scent capsule comprises

[0010] A first gas storage bottle, comprising a first gas storage cavity and a first odor broadcasting port connected to the first gas storage cavity, wherein the first gas storage cavity stores aroma at a preset pressure;

[0011] A first solenoid valve is disposed on the odor broadcasting path of the first odor capsule and is used to control the opening and closing of the first odor broadcasting port;

[0012] Features:

[0013] The first scent capsule is detachably connected to the base;

[0014] The aroma diffuser also includes a main control panel and a second scent capsule detachably connected to the base; the second scent capsule and the first scent capsule have the same matching structure with the base, so that the second scent capsule and the first scent capsule can be replaced and installed with the base;

[0015] The second scent capsule comprises

[0016] The second gas storage bottle has a second gas storage cavity and a second odor broadcasting port connected to the second gas storage cavity, and the second odor broadcasting port is also used as an odor collecting port;

[0017] The gas extraction device is arranged on the second gas storage bottle and is used to collect external odors into the second gas storage cavity through the odor collection port;

[0018] A second solenoid valve is disposed on the odor playing path of the second odor capsule and is used to control the opening and closing of the second odor playing port;

[0019] The first output end of the main control board is electrically connected to the air extraction device, the second output end is electrically connected to the first solenoid valve, and the third output end is electrically connected to the second solenoid valve.

[0020] In order to better preserve the collected odor and play the odor, the second air storage chamber of the second odor capsule is provided with activated carbon for absorbing odor molecules and a heating plate for heating the activated carbon to release the odor molecules, and the heating plate is electrically connected to the fourth output terminal of the main control board. The activated carbon can absorb the odor and facilitate storage, and the absorbed odor can be released again after heating the activated carbon.

[0021] In order to increase the concentration of the played odor molecules, the second odor playing port is located at the top of the second gas storage bottle;

[0022] The section of the pipe between the second solenoid valve and the second odor broadcasting port is referred to as a ventilation pipe;

[0023] The side wall of the second gas storage cylinder is provided with an installation opening connected to the ventilation pipe, and a storage box for entering and exiting the ventilation pipe is detachably installed at the installation opening;

[0024] The storage box is used to contain natural plant fragrances and has ventilation holes for the smell of the natural plant fragrances to diffuse;

[0025] Along the odor broadcasting path, the second solenoid valve, the storage box, and the second odor broadcasting port are distributed in sequence from upstream to downstream.

[0026] In this way, by setting the storage box, the following effects are achieved:

[0027] First, the user can place natural plant fragrances at the place where the odor is collected in the storage box. During playback, in addition to the odor molecules in the second air storage cavity, there are also solid odor molecules in the storage box, which can increase the concentration of the played odor molecules and facilitate a more realistic reproduction of the odor scene; the user can also place natural plant fragrances from other sources in the storage box; natural plant fragrances, such as lavender, osmanthus, jasmine, orange peel, etc.

[0028] Second, because the storage box is arranged between the second solenoid valve and the second odor playing port, the placement and removal of the storage box will not affect the odor storage in the second air storage cavity, and the location is reasonable.

[0029] In order to take into account the needs of facilitating manufacturing and increasing user selection, the storage box includes

[0030] The cover body has a left through hole located on the left side and penetrating up and down, a right through hole located on the right side and penetrating up and down, and a convex portion located on the right side of the right through hole and extending upward;

[0031] The box body is located below the cover body, and the box body has an upwardly open storage cavity, a left mounting groove located on the left side of the storage cavity, a right mounting groove located on the right side of the storage cavity, and a boss located on the right side of the right mounting groove and extending downward, and the left mounting groove and the right mounting groove are both upwardly open;

[0032] A first limiting post is extended up and down and is penetrated in the left through hole of the cover body and the left mounting groove of the box body;

[0033] A second limiting column is extended up and down and is penetrated in the right through hole of the cover body and the right mounting groove of the box body;

[0034] The cover body and the box body both have the ventilation holes;

[0035] The storage box is arranged at the installation opening in a transversely pullable manner;

[0036] When the storage box is installed at the installation opening, the convex portion and the boss are laterally opposed to the wall of the installation opening, and the first limiting column and the second limiting column are located in the ventilation duct;

[0037] The first limiting column and the second limiting column have pores for absorbing natural plant essential oils and are used as fragrance diffusers.

[0038] By setting the first limit column and the second limit column, the following functions are achieved at the same time:

[0039] First, the cover and the base are detachably connected by the first limiting column and the second limiting column, the structure is reasonable and practical, and the storage box is easy to manufacture;

[0040] Second, the first limiting column and the second limiting column are also used as a fragrance diffuser, so that users can also choose to add their favorite natural plant essential oils on the fragrance diffuser to increase the concentration of the played smell or adjust the smell, enriching the user experience and increasing user choices. Natural plant essential oils refer to essential oils extracted directly from plants without the addition of additional chemicals, such as rose oil, jasmine oil, rose oil and magnolia oil.

[0041] In order to increase user choices, all scent capsules are distributed along the circumference of the base, and the scent playback ports of all scent capsules are located on their top surfaces;

[0042] The fragrance machine also includes a fragrance mixing cover which is detachably arranged on the top of all the scent capsules and is used to cover the scent playing ports of all the scent capsules downwards;

[0043] The aroma mixing cover comprises a cover body with a downward opening and an annular body connected to the inner wall of the cover body; the top surface of the cover body is a plane; the annular body and the top surfaces of all the odor capsules are magnetically matched, and the odor broadcasting ports of all the odor capsules are located in the space surrounded by the annular body; the lower edge of the cover body is located outside all the odor capsules;

[0044] When the cover is inverted with the opening facing upward, the cover is used to accommodate the first limiting column and the second limiting column.

[0045] By setting the fragrance mixing cover, it has the following effects:

[0046] First, it is convenient to mix the smells played from different smell capsules evenly and adjust the fragrance. In this way, in addition to collecting the natural smells that users like, they can also choose to adjust the fragrance with other smell capsules, which increases the user's choice;

[0047] Second, the aroma-mixing cover can also be used as a container for accommodating the aroma-diffusing component. The opening of the cover is facing upwards, the bottom of the cover is a plane and can be placed stably, and the first limiting column and the second limiting column are placed inside the cover. In this way, the aroma-mixing cover cooperates with the first limiting column and the second limiting column to be used as a common aroma-diffusing product. This has rich functions and increases user choices.

[0048] Third, the fragrance mixing cover and the scent capsules are combined together in a mushroom-like shape. When the fragrance machine is not in use, it can also be used as a mushroom ornament. It has a beautiful shape and can create a natural feeling. This makes it versatile and increases user choices.

[0049] In order to facilitate hanging, the first limiting column extends up and down, and has a first hanging hole at its upper end;

[0050] The second limiting column is detachably connected to the first limiting column to form a hook, and the second limiting column and the first limiting column form an acute angle with the opening facing upward;

[0051] The second gas storage cylinder is provided with a mounting portion on the outside, and the mounting portion has a first through hole for the second limiting column to penetrate;

[0052] A sub-control board is arranged in the second gas storage cylinder, a first output end of the sub-control board is electrically connected to the air extraction device, and a second output end of the sub-control board is electrically connected to the second solenoid valve; the sub-control board and the main control board are independent of each other.

[0053] It has the following functions:

[0054] First, the sub-control board and the main control board independently control the air extraction device and the second solenoid valve, so that when the user goes out to collect natural gas odor, the second odor capsule can be removed from the base and carried alone, which is convenient to carry;

[0055] Second, the first limiting column and the second limiting column are connected and can be used as a hook. The first limiting column is inserted into the first through-hole of the mounting portion, and the second odor capsule can be hung through the first through-hole and an external hanging rope. For example, it is convenient to hang it on a tree when collecting odors, which can free your hands. For example, when it is mounted in a car, the second odor capsule can be hung on the air outlet of the car air conditioner to facilitate the spread of the odor in the car.

[0056] In order to enrich the user experience, the top side wall of the cover body has a hanging groove, and the inner wall of the cover body is provided with at least two hanging parts spaced apart in the space surrounded by the annular body;

[0057] The first limiting column and the second limiting column are both made of wood;

[0058] The upper end of the second limiting column is provided with a second hanging hole;

[0059] The first limiting column is used to be hung on the corresponding hanging part through the first hanging hole and the external hanging rope;

[0060] The second limiting column is used to be hung on the corresponding hanging part through the second hanging hole and the external hanging rope;

[0061] Under the action of external force, at least part of the first limiting pillars and the second limiting pillars can collide with each other in the lateral direction.

[0062] In this way, the cover body, the first limiting column and the second limiting column can cooperate to be used as a wind chime. The user can adjust the height position of the first limiting part and the second limiting part by adjusting the length of the external hanging rope to adjust different sound quality effects. The function is rich and can bring different experiences to users.

[0063] In addition, the first limiting column and the second limiting column are made of wood. When used as a wind chime, the sound is relatively soft, and the atmosphere is naturally tranquil. When used as a fragrance diffuser, it can also absorb natural essential oils better and diffuse the fragrance. The wind chime as a whole is suspended through the hanging groove position.

[0064] In order to take into account the requirements of both facilitating the storage of odor molecules and facilitating the display of information, a part of the body of the second gas storage bottle is used as a display screen for displaying the name, collection time, and collection location of the odor in the second gas storage bottle;

[0065] The bottle body includes a transparent glass inner layer, a brown glass outer layer, a liquid crystal layer and a communication module located between the transparent glass and the brown glass. The communication module and the liquid crystal layer are spaced apart and the communication module is used for communication connection with a mobile phone.

[0066] The inner layer of the bottle is made of glass, which can reduce the reaction with the collected odor molecules and better maintain the original state of the odor; the outer layer is made of brown glass, on the one hand, to reduce the impact of light on odor molecules. For example, some citrus odor components (such as some terpene compounds containing double bonds) may be more sensitive to light and will undergo photochemical reactions under light conditions. On the other hand, brown makes it easier for users to see the name, collection time, and collection location of the odor displayed on the display.

[0067] In order to enrich the user experience, the second odor capsule further includes a motor electrically connected to the fifth output terminal of the main control board, and a metal sheet drivingly connected to the output terminal of the motor, wherein the metal sheet has a contact state of contacting the inner wall of the transparent glass and a disengagement state away from the inner wall of the transparent glass;

[0068] The second solenoid valve is in an open state, and the metal sheet continuously switches between a contact state and a disengagement state;

[0069] Along the odor broadcasting path, the metal sheet is located between the second odor broadcasting port and the second solenoid valve.

[0070] By setting up metal sheets, when the smell is played, the metal sheets can touch the inner wall of the glass, making a slight sound, which can simulate white noise similar to nature, which can further enhance the user experience.

[0071] The matching structure of the odor capsule and the base is specifically that the first odor capsule and the second odor capsule are matched with the base through magnetic attraction or rib groove limiting.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the advantages that: by providing the second odor capsule, the user can collect the natural odor that he likes by himself through the suction device, for example, collecting the odor in a place with a strong fragrance, etc., so that the personalized needs of the user for the odor can be met, and the odor is natural;

[0073] At the same time, the second scent capsule and the first scent capsule are both detachably connected to the base, and the second scent capsule and the first scent capsule can be interchangeably installed with the base, so that the first scent capsule and the second scent capsule are both suitable for the same base. When a scent needs to be played, the user can choose the existing first scent capsule or replace it with a personalized second scent capsule. For users, there are more choices. For manufacturers, on the basis of maintaining the existing fragrance machine, local adjustments have been made to facilitate production and manufacturing, reduce costs, and have a reasonable and practical structure.

[0096] The working principle and usage process are as follows.

[0097] 1. Odor Collection

[0098] In a place with a strong fragrance, such as a garden, the user can collect the favorite smell by himself through the second smell capsule 2, which can meet the user's personalized needs for smell and the smell is natural; the collected smell is stored in the second air storage cavity 211, and part of it is adsorbed on the activated carbon 25. When the smell is played, the heating sheet 26 heats the active carbon 25 and re-releases the adsorbed smell molecules.

[0099] The user can also choose to put natural plant fragrances from the smell collection location or other sources in the storage box 24, such as lavender, osmanthus, jasmine, orange peel, etc., so that when the smell is played, the smell concentration can be increased to facilitate a more realistic reproduction of the smell scene.

[0100] If the user wants to further enhance the scent, the user can drop natural plant essential oil on the first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 to diffuse the scent.

[0101] See also Figure 7 The first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 are connected to form a hook. When the user goes out to collect odors, he can hang the second odor capsule 2 through the hook or the external hanging rope to free his hands.

[0102] 2. Smell Playback

[0103] The user can choose to play different smells according to the needs, and can choose to play the smell in the first smell capsule 1 alone, or can choose to play the smell in the second smell capsule 2 alone, or can mix the smells in the first smell capsule 1 and the second smell capsule 2. For the user, there are more choices, and for the manufacturer, on the basis of maintaining the existing fragrance machine, partial adjustments are made to facilitate production and manufacturing, reduce costs, and have a reasonable and practical structure.

[0104] The first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 are connected to form a hook ( Figure 7 ), when in a car, the second scent capsule 2 can be hung at the air outlet of the car air conditioner to facilitate fragrance diffusion.

[0105] 3. Multi-function

[0106] join Figure 3 When the fragrance machine is not playing any scent, it takes on a mushroom shape and can be used as a decoration.

[0107] See also Figure 6 The aroma diffuser can also be used as a common aroma diffuser product. Specifically, the cover body 51 is opened upward, the first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 are placed in the cover body 51, and natural plant essential oil is dripped on the first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 for aroma diffusion.

[0108] See also Figure 8 , the first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 can also be hung on the hanging part of the inner wall of the cover body 51 through an external hanging rope, and the user can adjust the height of the first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 by adjusting the height of the external hanging rope, so as to adjust different sound qualities. In this way, the cover body 51, the first limiting column 243, and the second limiting column 244 can also be used as a wind chime. That is, the first limiting column 243 and the second limiting column 244 can be used as a part of the storage box 4, and can also be used as a fragrance diffuser, a wind chime component, etc., and the structure is reasonable and practical.

[0109] In summary, in addition to collecting natural odors and playing scents, the aroma machine can also be used as an ordinary fragrance diffusion product, as a wind chime, etc. It is multifunctional, can meet the different needs of users, enrich the user experience, and has a reasonable and practical structure. The overall function, material, and shape are in line with the concept of natural healing.

[0110] Embodiment 2:
