Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein belong to the field of aromatherapy equipment technology, specifically relating to an environmentally friendly aroma diffuser. Background Technology
[0002] Most mainstream aromatherapy diffusers on the market currently rely on external energy sources, which has significant environmental drawbacks. Passive evaporation diffusers have low diffusion efficiency and a poor user experience.
[0003] More common electrically driven heated diffusers require continuous connection to the power grid, resulting in high energy consumption, limited usage scenarios, and certain safety hazards. Battery-powered products, while free from wiring, require frequent battery replacements or charging, leading to environmental pollution from discarded batteries, and voltage decay causing unstable diffusion effects. Neither of these active diffusion technologies solves the energy consumption and pollution problems. Their deep dependence on traditional power grids or chemical batteries makes them unsuitable for modern green and low-carbon lifestyles. The market urgently needs truly energy-self-sufficient, zero-emission environmentally friendly solutions. Summary of the Invention

The thermoelectric conversion device uses the heat energy absorbed by the heat absorber to generate electricity and supply power to the fan assembly. The fan assembly rotates according to the electrical energy provided by the thermoelectric conversion device to diffuse the aroma of the fragrance.
[0006] Optionally, the fan assembly includes a fan, a drive motor drivenly connected to the fan and used to drive the fan to rotate, and a drive circuit electrically connected between the thermoelectric conversion device and the drive motor, the drive circuit being configured to drive the drive motor to rotate based on electrical energy provided by the thermoelectric conversion device.
[0007] Optionally, the support assembly includes a base and a bracket disposed on the base and connected to the heat absorber and the fan assembly respectively.
[0008] Optionally, the base includes a ring frame for supporting the aromatherapy diffuser and a support post connected to the ring frame.

[0010] Optionally, the thermoelectric conversion device includes a thermocouple.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this disclosure include: In this application, the diffuser captures the waste heat of the aromatherapy flame through a heat absorber, and directly converts the heat energy into electrical energy via a thermoelectric conversion device (based on the Seebeck effect) to drive the fan assembly.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, an environmentally friendly diffuser includes: a support assembly 1, a heat absorber 2 connected to the support assembly 1 and used to absorb heat from the aromatherapy flame, a thermoelectric conversion device connected to the heat absorber 2, and a fan assembly 3 disposed on the support assembly 1 and connected to the thermoelectric conversion device.
[0018] The thermoelectric conversion device uses the heat energy absorbed by the heat absorber 2 to generate electricity and supply power to the fan assembly 3. The fan assembly 3 rotates according to the electrical energy provided by the thermoelectric conversion device to diffuse the aroma of the fragrance.
[0019] In this application, the diffuser captures the waste heat of the aromatherapy flame through the heat absorber 2, and directly converts the heat energy into electrical energy via a thermoelectric conversion device (based on the Seebeck effect) to drive the fan assembly 3. This application achieves energy self-sufficiency, requiring no external power or batteries, and truly realizes zero-carbon emission operation.
[0020] In addition, the technical solution of this application can efficiently utilize waste heat energy and convert it into stable airflow through fan component 3, which significantly accelerates the uniform diffusion of aromatherapy scents, improves user experience, and completely eliminates dependence on traditional energy sources. It is a truly green, environmentally friendly and sustainable active aromatherapy solution.
[0021] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 3 includes a fan, a drive motor drivenly connected to the fan and used to drive the fan to rotate, and a drive circuit electrically connected between the thermoelectric conversion device and the drive motor, the drive circuit being configured to drive the drive motor to rotate based on electrical energy provided by the thermoelectric conversion device.
[0022] In this application, the output power of the thermoelectric conversion device is efficiently managed and regulated through the drive circuit, so as to boost and stabilize the unstable and low voltage thermoelectric DC output and convert it into stable power that meets the working requirements of the drive motor. This ensures that the fan assembly 3 can obtain a constant power supply under different temperature difference conditions, thereby maintaining a stable speed.
[0023] In some embodiments, the support assembly 1 includes a base 11 and a bracket 12 disposed on the base 11 and connected to the heat absorber 2 and the fan assembly 3 respectively.
[0024] In this application, this embodiment achieves structural optimization and functional integration of the device through the modular design of the base 11 and the bracket 12. The base 11 provides stable support to ensure that the whole device is placed stably, while the bracket 12, as the core load-bearing and connecting structure, precisely fixes the heat absorber 2 and the fan assembly 3 in their relative spatial positions, which not only ensures the efficient energy transfer between the heat source and the thermoelectric module, but also ensures the precise directional diffusion of the aromatherapy scent by the fan airflow.
[0025] In some embodiments, the base 11 includes a ring frame 111 for supporting the aromatherapy diffuser and a support post 112 connected to the ring frame 111.
[0026] This application achieves safe support and space optimization for the aromatherapy container through the collaborative structure of the ring frame 111 and the support column 112. The ring frame 111 directly supports the aromatherapy container, ensuring its stable placement, while the support column 112, as the core support component, effectively transfers the load to the base 11 and provides an installation foundation for the upper support 12.
[0027] In some embodiments, the support 12 includes a vertical connecting rod 121 movably connected to the support column 112, and a horizontal connecting rod 122 movably connected to the vertical connecting rod 121 for mounting the heat absorber 2.
[0028] The horizontal connecting rod 122 is configured to be movable in the axial direction of the vertical connecting rod 121 to adjust the relative position between the heat absorber 2 and the aromatherapy flame.
[0029] In this application, the vertical connecting rod 121 and the horizontal connecting rod 122, which can be movably connected, enable precise adjustment of the spatial position of the heat absorber 2 with multiple degrees of freedom. Users can directly adjust the vertical distance between the heat absorber 2 and the aromatherapy flame by moving the horizontal connecting rod 122, thereby precisely controlling the heat absorption efficiency. This design can adapt to aromatherapy containers of different heights, ensuring that the flame heat is maximized and stably transferred to the thermoelectric conversion device. It effectively solves the problem of energy harvesting fluctuations caused by container differences, significantly improving energy conversion efficiency and overall machine adaptability.
[0030] In some embodiments, the thermoelectric conversion device includes a thermocouple.
[0031] The diffuser of this application adopts an environmentally friendly fan-driven design that requires no external power or battery, and the support assembly 1 features a height-adjustable design, which significantly improves practicality. In addition, the heat absorber 2, the thermoelectric conversion device, and the fan assembly 3 constitute a thermal energy --> electrical energy --> mechanical energy conversion system to drive the fan rotation, realizing the diffusion of the aroma of the diffused fragrance indoors, enhancing the sensory experience, and meeting the needs of modern green and low-carbon living.
[0032] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments used to illustrate the principles of this disclosure, and this disclosure is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and substance of this disclosure, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
