Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive supplies, and particularly relates to a vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, there are already vehicle-mounted aromatherapy devices that can be fixed on the air outlet deflector of an automotive air conditioner. Such vehicle-mounted aromatherapy devices usually consist of an aromatherapy holder and an internal fragrance agent. The air flow blown out by the air conditioner enters the interior of the aromatherapy holder and then blows out to drive the diffusion of fragrance factors. Since the fragrance agent will volatilize, it needs to be replenished or replaced. The fragrance agent is placed in a fragrance box, and then the fragrance box is placed in the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy holder, so that a simple operation can be carried out by replacing the fragrance box, improving the user experience.
[0003] Currently, vehicle-mounted aromatherapy devices adopting this design generally have problems with the adaptability between the fragrance box and the aromatherapy holder. Since the fragrance box and the aromatherapy holder are usually produced by different manufacturers and then assembled, and there may also be a need to switch suppliers, a certain dimensional tolerance needs to be allowed. However, if the shaking amplitude of the fragrance box relative to the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy holder is too large, it will affect the product texture. And if the fragrance box is set larger to improve the tightness of the fit between the fragrance box and the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy holder, it may be deformed or damaged when the fragrance box is inserted into the vehicle-mounted holder due to extrusion. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device in which the fragrance box and the aromatherapy holder are easily adaptable.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] A vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device, comprising an aromatherapy holder and a fragrance box arranged on the aromatherapy holder. The fragrance box includes a receiving chamber for accommodating a fragrance agent and a fixing edge connected to the periphery of the receiving chamber. The aromatherapy holder includes a box body and a box cover covering the box body. The box cover is provided with a limiting structure for abutting against the fixing edge. When the box cover covers the box body, the fixing edge is restricted between the limiting structure and the box body.
[0007] In the car perfume provided by the utility model, a fixed edge is arranged around the accommodation bin of the fragrance box, and a limiting structure is arranged on the box cover. When the box cover is closed on the box body, the fixed edge is restricted between the limiting structure and the box body. The relative movement space between the fragrance box and the perfume holder is small. As long as the thickness of the fixed edge is controlled, large-amplitude shaking between the fragrance box and the perfume holder can be avoided. Moreover, since the fixed edge is a solid structure with a limited thickness, it is easy to control. In addition, since the fragrance box is fixed on the perfume holder through the fixed edge part, the accommodation bin part will not be squeezed, and even if there are certain dimensional errors in the product, the accommodation bin will not be damaged or deformed.
[0008] Preferably, a positioning structure matching with the fragrance box is arranged on the box body. When the fragrance box is installed in place, the positioning structure restricts the rotation of the fragrance box. This positioning structure is used to assist in the installation of the fragrance box. When there are patterns printed on the fragrance box, the setting angle of the fragrance box will affect the overall appearance of the car perfume. The positioning structure is set to determine the correct installation position of the fragrance box; rotation will also cause the fragrance box to shake relative to the perfume holder. After the installation is in place, this positioning structure plays a role in preventing the fragrance box from rotating relative to the perfume holder.
[0009] Preferably, an opening for the accommodation bin to pass through is formed on the box cover, and the top surface of the accommodation bin is exposed outside the fragrance box. In this structure, the appearance of the car perfume can be updated by replacing the fragrance box, and the accommodation bin can also be set to be transparent to observe the remaining amount of the fragrance agent.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting structure is in a cylindrical shape arranged circumferentially around the opening. The root of the limiting structure is connected to the box cover, and the free end of the limiting structure faces the fixed edge. In this structure, the limiting structure is arranged around the opening for one week, and the fixed edge is pressed against the bottom of the box body by the free end of the limiting structure, so that the cooperation between the fragrance box and the perfume holder is more stable.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning structure includes two rib strips connected to the box body. The two rib strips are arranged in a shape of an inverted V, and are used to abut against the fixed edge. In this structure, one rib strip abuts against the fixed edge when the fragrance box rotates counterclockwise, and the other rib strip abuts against the fixed edge when the fragrance box rotates clockwise, so that the tendency of the fragrance box to rotate in both forward and reverse directions is restricted.
[0012] Preferably, the box cover is hingedly connected to the box body. This structure enables the box cover and the box body to remain connected when replacing the fragrance box, preventing the box cover from being lost.
[0013] Preferably, the lid includes a hinge seat, and the box body includes a hinge shaft that cooperates with the hinge seat. The hinge shaft and the hinge seat hinge-connect the lid and the box body. In this structure, the hinge shaft can be integrally formed with the box body, and the hinge seat can be integrally formed with the lid. Through the elastic deformation of the material, the hinge shaft and the hinge seat are assembled, eliminating the need for small parts.
[0014] Preferably, on the opposite side of the hinge seat on the lid, there are elastic hooks extending along the side wall of the lid body. At the position corresponding to the elastic hooks on the inner side wall of the box body, there are card slots. When the lid covers the box body, the elastic hooks are snapped into the card slots to keep the fragrance box closed. In this structure, the elastic hooks and the card slots are hidden inside the fragrance box, which is more aesthetically pleasing.
[0015] Preferably, there is a pressing groove corresponding to the root of the elastic hook on the lid. Pressing the pressing groove drives the elastic hook out of the card slot. The wall thickness of the lid at the position where the pressing groove is set is thinner, making it easier to press down to drive the elastic hook out of the card slot, thereby releasing the lock between the lid and the box body and flipping open the lid.
[0016] Preferably, the end of the elastic hook is wedge-shaped, and the angle between the hook body and the upper edge of the hook end is an obtuse angle. This structure makes it easy for the elastic hook to be snapped into and out of the card slot. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element and integrated with it, or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "installation", "one end", "the other end" and similar expressions used in this article are only for the purpose of explaining the present utility model.
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this article have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this technology belongs. The terms used in the description of the present specification in this article are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used in this article includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , an in-vehicle aromatherapy described in the present utility model includes an aromatherapy holder 1 and a fragrance box 2 provided on the aromatherapy holder 1. The fragrance box 2 includes an accommodation chamber 21 for accommodating a fragrance agent and a fixed edge 22 connected to the periphery of the accommodation chamber 21. The aromatherapy holder 1 includes a box body 11 and a box cover 12 covering the box body 11. The box cover 12 is provided with a limiting structure 121 for abutting against the fixed edge 22. When the box cover 12 covers the box body 11, the fixed edge 22 is restricted between the limiting structure 121 and the box body 11. In the preferred embodiment, the aromatherapy holder 1 adopts a design in which the box cover 12 is hinged to the box body 11. In other embodiments, a screw cap structure can also be adopted between the box cover 12 and the box body 11, or they can be snap-fitted, and the box cover 12 and the box body 11 can be detachably matched. In the preferred embodiment, when the box cover 12 covers the box body 11, the fixed edge 22 is in contact with the limiting structure 121. In other embodiments, the fixed edge 22 may not be pressed against the box body 11 by the limiting structure 121, and there may be a gap between the fixed edge 22 and the limiting structure 121 or the box body 11. Being restricted between the limiting structure 121 and the box body 11 can also reduce the movement range of the fragrance box 2.
[0029] In the car perfume provided by the present utility model, a fixing edge 22 is arranged around the accommodating chamber 21 of the perfume box 2, and a limiting structure 121 is arranged on the box cover 12. When the box cover 12 is closed on the box body 11, the fixing edge 22 is restricted between the limiting structure 121 and the box body 11, and the cooperation between the perfume box 2 and the perfume holder 1 is firm and not easy to shake. And because the perfume box 2 is partially fixed on the perfume holder 1 through the fixing edge 22, the accommodating chamber 21 will not be squeezed, even if there are certain dimensional errors in the product, it will not cause damage or deformation of the accommodating chamber 21 when it is loaded into the perfume holder 1. In the preferred embodiment, the perfume box 2 has a bowl-shaped accommodating chamber 21, the fixing edge 22 is arranged around the entire opening of the accommodating chamber 21 and is on the same plane. The box body 11 includes a raising structure 114 connected to the bottom surface. The limiting structure 121 is in a cylindrical shape. When the box cover 12 is closed on the box body 11, the free end of the limiting structure 121 presses the fixing edge 22 against the raising structure 114. The free end of the limiting structure 121 presses the fixing edge 22 towards the raising structure 114. In other embodiments, there may also be no raising structure 114, and the fixing edge 22 is restricted between the limiting structure 121 and the box body 11. The raising structure 114 is provided in the preferred embodiment because the perfume box 2 includes a tearable handle. When unsealing, it is necessary to hold the handle on the perfume box 2 and pull it out from the bottom end of the perfume holder 1 to remove the fragrance barrier film on the perfume box 2. In the conventional setting, this operation process will increase the gap between the perfume box 2 and the perfume holder 1. After adopting the raising structure 114, the raising structure 114 reserves the space for the tearable handle, avoiding the increase of the gap between the perfume box 2 and the perfume holder 1 after the perfume box 2 is unsealed, and keeping the close cooperation between the perfume box 2 and the perfume holder 1. The raising structure 114 in the preferred embodiment also plays a role in increasing the distance between the tearable opening of the perfume box 2 and the ventilation opening on the back of the perfume holder 1, making the fragrance dispersion air duct of the car perfume more reasonable and improving the fragrance dispersion efficiency. In other embodiments, the accommodating chamber 21 can also be set in any shape such as diamond shape, flower-like shape, water droplet shape, etc. The fixing edge 22 can also be arranged at intervals or in other decorative settings instead of being arranged in a whole circle. The limiting structure 121 can also be composed of multiple spaced-apart abutting columns or other alternative settings such as elastic parts.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3, in a preferred embodiment, a positioning structure 111 is provided on the box body 11 and is matched with the fragrance box 2. When the fragrance box 2 is installed in place, the positioning structure 111 restricts the rotation of the fragrance box 2. This positioning structure 111 is used to assist in the installation of the fragrance box 2. When there is a pattern printed on the fragrance box 2, the setting angle of the fragrance box 2 will affect the overall appearance of the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy. The positioning structure 111 is provided to determine the correct installation position of the fragrance box 2; after being installed in place, the positioning structure 111 functions to prevent the fragrance box 2 from rotating relative to the aromatherapy bracket 1. The positioning structure 111 in the preferred embodiment is arranged in an inverted V shape that is close to each other. In other embodiments, it can also be that positioning holes are provided on the fixed edge 22, the positioning structure 111 is in the shape of a column passing through the positioning holes, or the fixed edge 22 is arranged at intervals, and the positioning structure 111 is arranged between the intervals of the fixed edge 22.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in a preferred embodiment, an opening 120 for the accommodation chamber 21 to pass through is provided on the lid 12, and the top surface of the accommodation chamber 21 is exposed outside the fragrance box 2. In this structure, the appearance of the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy can be updated by replacing the fragrance box 2, and the accommodation chamber 21 can also be set to be transparent to observe the remaining amount of the fragrance agent. In the preferred embodiment, the diameter of the opening 120 is larger than that of the accommodation chamber 21 of the fragrance box 2, the top surface of the fragrance box 2 is exposed outside the lid 12, and a raised decorative edge is provided around the opening 120 on the top surface of the lid 12, and the top surface of the fragrance box 2 is higher than the decorative edge.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 , in a preferred embodiment, the limiting structure 121 is in the shape of a cylinder arranged circumferentially around the opening 120. The root of the limiting structure 121 is connected to the lid 12, and the free end of the limiting structure 121 faces the fixed edge 22. In the preferred embodiment, the limiting structure 121 is arranged around the opening 120 for one week, and the fixed edge 22 is pressed against the bottom of the box body 11 by the free end of the limiting structure 121, so that the cooperation between the fragrance box 2 and the aromatherapy bracket 1 is more stable. In other embodiments, the limiting structure 121 can also be in other shapes such as a square cylinder or a cylinder with an elliptical cross-section. In the preferred embodiment, the opening 120 is the through hole at the center of the limiting structure 121. In other embodiments, the root of the limiting structure 121 can also be connected to the periphery of the opening 120.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3, in a preferred embodiment, the positioning structure 111 includes two rib strips connected to the box body 11, and the two rib strips are arranged in a V-shape for abutting against the fixed edge 22. In this structure, one rib strip abuts against the fixed edge 22 when the fragrance box 2 rotates counterclockwise, and the other rib strip abuts against the fixed edge 22 when the fragrance box 2 rotates clockwise, so that the tendency of the fragrance box 2 to rotate in both directions is restricted.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , the box cover 12 is hingedly connected to the box body 11. This structure enables the box cover 12 and the box body 11 to remain connected when replacing the fragrance box 2, preventing the box cover 12 from being lost.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the box cover 12 includes a hinge seat 122, and the box body 11 includes two hinge shafts 112 that cooperate with the hinge seat 122. The two hinge shafts 112 are inserted into the hinge seat 122 from both ends respectively to hinge-connect the box cover 12 and the box body 11. In a preferred embodiment, the hinge shafts 112 and the box body 11 are integrally formed, and the hinge seat 122 and the box cover 12 are integrally formed. Through the elastic deformation of the material, the hinge shafts 112 and the hinge seat 122 are assembled. There is a through hinge hole on the hinge seat 122, and the two hinge shafts 112 on the box body 11 are close to each other and are respectively inserted into both ends of the hinge hole.
