[0064] In this embodiment, the clamping part 314 can be a rotating shaft structure. The rotating shaft structure can be integrally formed on the outer walls on both sides of the aromatherapy box 31, or can be separately inserted into the outer wall of the aromatherapy box 31. The aromatherapy box 31 is clamped into the card slots 22 of the two supporting parts 21 through the rotating shaft structures on the outer walls on both sides.

[0065] In one embodiment, a second wire groove 211 is provided on one of the supporting parts 21, and the second wire groove 211 corresponds to the first wire groove 313.

[0066] In this embodiment, the shape of the second wire groove 211 can be the same as the shape of the first wire groove 313. The circuit of the heating element 35 is led out from the first wire groove 313 and the second wire groove 211 in sequence and is electrically connected to the indoor unit 1 or an external controller.

[0067] In this application, in order to further improve the installation stability of the aromatherapy device 3, a positioning structure is additionally provided.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 , in one embodiment, the support member 2 further includes a positioning portion 23 having a deformation and resilience performance.

[0069] In this embodiment, the positioning portion 23 can adopt a plastic structure. The positioning portion 23 extends from the bottom case 11 to the outside of the bottom case 11, which can make the positioning portion 23 have a certain elasticity. A positioning protrusion 231 is designed on the positioning portion 23, and a guiding surface can also be designed on the positioning protrusion 231; correspondingly, a positioning port 315 is provided at the bottom of the aromatherapy box 31; when installing the aromatherapy box 31, the positioning port 315 at the bottom of the aromatherapy box 31 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 231 for positioning, which can ensure the accurate installation and stability of the aromatherapy box 31.

[0070] The embodiment of the present utility model further provides a bottom case 11, which is applied to the indoor unit 1. A support member 2 is provided on the bottom case 11 at the false air outlet area 14 of the indoor unit 1, and the above-mentioned aromatherapy device 3 is installed on the support member 2.

[0071] Based on the bottom case 11 and the aromatherapy device 3 introduced above, the complete disassembly, replacement process will be specifically introduced below.

[0072] When replacing different aromatherapy liquids according to different requirements, first, the air deflector 13 needs to be disassembled, and the aromatherapy device 3 is exposed in a larger space. Then, after pressing against the bottom of the aromatherapy box 31 and applying a certain force, the positioning port 315 at the bottom of the aromatherapy box 31 is disengaged from the positioning protrusion 231 on the positioning portion 23. After operating the aromatherapy box 31 to rotate a certain angle outward around the rotating shaft structure on the outer walls on both sides to the false air outlet area 14, the aromatherapy box 31 can be taken out (i.e., the aromatherapy device 3 is taken out). Then, the liquid storage chamber body 32 is taken out from the aromatherapy box 31 and the cover 34 is opened, and different aromatherapy liquids are replaced. After the replacement is completed, the liquid storage chamber body 32 is installed into the aromatherapy box 31. Finally, the aromatherapy with the liquid storage chamber body 32 is placed between the two support portions 21. After pressing against the top of the aromatherapy box 31 and applying a certain force, the aromatherapy box 31 rotates through the rotating shaft structure on the outer walls on both sides, so that the positioning port 315 at the bottom of the aromatherapy box 31 is exactly assembled with the positioning protrusion on the positioning portion 23, thus completing the positioning of the aromatherapy device 3.

[0073] An embodiment of the present utility model further provides an indoor unit 1, including the bottom case 11 as above.

[0074] The control principle of the aromatherapy device 3 of the present application will be specifically introduced below.

[0075] The aromatherapy device 3 of the present application is preferably electrically connected to the indoor unit 1, and the aromatherapy device 3 and the indoor unit 1 operate synchronously. The specific control principle includes the following steps:

[0076] S1. First, it is necessary to detect whether the indoor unit 1 is turned on. At this time, it is necessary to detect whether the cross-flow fan blade of the indoor unit 1 has a speed v. If v>0 and can continuously operate for a certain time T, then it is determined that the indoor unit 1 is in the on state at this time. If it is detected that v = 0 or v>0 and cannot continuously operate for a certain time T, then it is determined that the indoor unit 1 is in the off state at this time.

[0077] S2. When the indoor unit 1 is in the on state, the indoor aromatherapy concentration a3 is detected through a concentration sensor (which can be set on the indoor unit 1). If a3 < a1, the heating element 35 of the aromatherapy device 3 quickly responds and increases the current value m for heating, so that the volatilization speed of the aromatherapy liquid is increased, and the indoor aromatherapy concentration is increased until a3 > a1. At this time, the current value m of the heating element 35 is within the range of m1 - m2, and the heating element 35 works normally; if a3 > a1, then it enters the judgment basis of S3:

[0078] S3. If a3 > a2, the heating element 35 of the aromatherapy device 3 responds quickly and reduces the current value m for heating, so that the evaporation rate of the aromatherapy liquid slows down, reducing the aromatherapy concentration in the room until a3 < a2. At this time, the current value m of the heating element 35 is within the range of m1 - m2, and the heating module works normally.

[0079] Further, the content of the aromatherapy liquid can also be detected to timely remind the user to replenish the aromatherapy liquid:

[0080] It is necessary to detect whether the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is turned on. At this time, it is necessary to detect whether the cross-flow fan blade of the indoor unit 1 has a speed v. If v > 0 and can continuously operate for a certain time T, then it is determined that the indoor unit is turned on at this time. If it is detected that v = 0 or v > 0 and cannot continuously operate for a certain time T, then it is determined that the indoor unit 1 is not turned on at this time.

[0081] When the indoor unit 1 is in the on state, the indoor aromatherapy concentration a3 is detected by the concentration sensor. If a3 = 0, the indoor unit 1 sends a prompt message to remind the user to replenish the aromatherapy liquid in time; if a3 > 0, there is still aromatherapy liquid in the aromatherapy device 3, and no replenishment is required.

[0082] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements, and these modifications or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
