[0029] With the continuous development of technology, smart terminals have become an indispensable part of people's lives. One particularly convenient function is the ability to operate car keys through smart terminals. These terminals utilize communication components installed within them to receive and transmit frequency signals from the vehicle's computer system, allowing users to operate the car key function through the smart terminal. However, prior art requires modifying the vehicle's wiring before operating the car key function through a smart terminal, which is inconvenient.

[0030] The utility model provides a vehicle-mounted aroma diffuser that can be used for controlling a vehicle, aiming to solve the technical problem of how to improve the convenience of controlling a vehicle with an intelligent terminal.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the car aroma diffuser includes: a shell 10, the shell 10 is provided with a mounting cavity 11, a fragrance cavity 12 and an aroma port 13, the fragrance cavity 12 is used to accommodate volatile fragrances, and the aroma port 13 is connected to the fragrance cavity 12; a communication module 20, the communication module 20 is installed in the mounting cavity 11, the communication module 20 is used to communicate with the car's vehicle system and the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal can control the car through the communication module 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 10 forms the overall appearance of the vehicle aroma diffuser. The fragrance chamber 12 is used to accommodate volatile solid or liquid fragrances, which are volatilized and diffused into the vehicle compartment through the fragrance outlet 13 to improve the interior odor environment. The communication module 20 can be paired and communicated with the vehicle's onboard system and the user's mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is a smart terminal, such as a mobile phone, smart watch, smart bracelet, or other smart device that the user can carry with them.

[0033] The communication module 20 is used to enable wireless communication between the user's mobile terminal and the vehicle system to achieve effects such as controlling the locking and unlocking of the vehicle. The communication module 20 can communicate with the mobile terminal and the vehicle system in various ways, such as Bluetooth, 3G network, 4G network, or 5G network, which are not limited here.

[0034] For example, the communication module 20 can be part of a smart key system. The Passive Keyless Enter (PKE) system utilizes RFID wireless radio frequency technology and a vehicle identification code recognition system. It utilizes a miniaturized, low-power RF antenna development solution, integrating a remote control system with a keyless entry system. It also utilizes traditional vehicle circuit protection to achieve a dual RF system and dual anti-theft protection. In the PKE system, the vehicle acts as a base station and the vehicle aroma diffuser acts as a transponder, enabling two-way communication. The communication module 20 includes components such as a receiving antenna, a microcontroller, a high-frequency transmitting circuit, a low-frequency receiving circuit, and a control switch.

[0035] Of course, communication module 20 can also be a component of ultra-wideband wireless carrier communication technology. Ultra-wideband (UWB) utilizes a new ultra-wideband wireless technology that differs significantly from traditional communication technologies. It transmits and receives extremely narrow pulses of nanoseconds or less to transmit data to and from the vehicle, with a bandwidth of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, making it less susceptible to interference from other signals. The vehicle's UWB-based aromatherapy device interacts with the vehicle's UWB-based positioning algorithm, enabling centimeter-level distance identification and rapid response, enabling users to seamlessly control their vehicle through the vehicle's positioning algorithm.

[0036] The communication module 20 is installed within the housing 10 so that it can communicate with the vehicle's system nearby. This allows a mobile terminal, such as a cell phone or smartwatch, to control the vehicle from outside the vehicle through the communication module 20. This allows the vehicle to be used by simply pairing the communication module 20 with the vehicle's system and the mobile terminal. There's no need to modify the vehicle's wiring or the mobile terminal's hardware, improving vehicle control convenience. Because the vehicle's aromatherapy diffuser is relatively stable within the vehicle, the distance between the communication module 20 and the vehicle's system remains relatively stable, ensuring the signal strength between them and improving vehicle control.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the vehicle-mounted aroma diffuser that can be used to control a vehicle also includes a circuit board 30 and a battery 40. The communication module 20 is mounted on the circuit board 30, and the battery 40 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30. The battery 40 provides power to the communication module 20, and the circuit board 30 distributes power to the communication module 20 and transmits control signals. This allows the vehicle-mounted aroma diffuser to function as a vehicle control device without being connected to a power source, improving its convenience.

[0038] Exemplarily, a via 14 is provided on the top wall of the housing 10, and the vehicle-mounted aroma diffuser that can be used to control the vehicle further comprises a solar photovoltaic panel 50, and the solar photovoltaic panel 50 is electrically connected to the circuit board 30 through the via 14. The solar photovoltaic panel 50 is a power generation device that generates direct current when exposed to sunlight, and is composed of thin solid photovoltaic cells 40 made almost entirely of semiconductor materials (such as silicon). The solar photovoltaic panel 50 can be electrically connected to the charging circuit on the circuit board 30 through a conductive sheet, and the charging circuit is electrically connected to the battery 40. The vehicle-mounted aroma diffuser can be placed on the center console near the windshield so that the solar photovoltaic panel 50 can be exposed to the sunlight shining on the center console, thereby utilizing solar energy to charge the battery 40 and save electricity costs.

[0039] Specifically, the top wall of the housing 10 is provided with a mounting groove, the through hole 14 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove, and the solar photovoltaic panel 50 is mounted in the mounting groove, with the top surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 50 flush with the notch of the mounting groove. Installing the solar photovoltaic panel 50 in the mounting groove increases the mating area between the solar photovoltaic panel 50 and the housing 10, thereby improving the installation stability of the solar photovoltaic panel 50 on the top wall of the housing 10. The flushness of the top surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 50 with the notch of the mounting groove ensures a smooth top wall of the vehicle aromatherapy device, thereby improving the overall appearance of the vehicle aromatherapy device.

[0040] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the battery 40 is mounted at the bottom of the mounting cavity 11, the circuit board 30 is located between the battery 40 and the via 14, and the communication module 20 is mounted on the lower surface of the circuit board 30. The battery 40 is relatively heavy, so installing it at the bottom of the mounting cavity 11 lowers the vehicle aromatherapy device's overall center of gravity, improving its placement stability and preventing it from tipping over. Mounting the communication module 20 on the lower surface of the circuit board 30 reduces the heat from the photovoltaic panels exposed to sunlight, thereby improving its operational stability.

[0041] For example, Figure 2As shown, the fragrance chamber 12 has an upward opening, and the aroma diffuser 13 is provided on the top wall of the housing 10 and is opposite to the opening of the fragrance chamber 12. When volatilizing in the form of gas, fragrance generally diffuses upward first. Therefore, providing the aroma diffuser 13 on the top wall of the housing 10 allows the volatilized fragrance to diffuse more quickly into the vehicle interior through the aroma diffuser 13, reducing its residence time within the housing 10 and thereby enhancing the aroma diffuser effect.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the car-mounted aromatherapy device that can be used to control the car also includes a fan 60, which is installed between the opening of the fragrance chamber 12 and the fragrance outlet 13. The fragrance chamber 12 is located on the air inlet side of the fan 60, and the fragrance outlet 13 is located on the air outlet side of the fan 60. The fan 60 can drive the air flow in the housing 10 so that the volatilized necklace can flow out of the fragrance outlet 13 faster, thereby improving the aromatherapy effect. In combination with the embodiment of the above-mentioned circuit board 30, the fan 60 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 30, and the circuit board 30 can distribute electrical energy to the fan 60 and transmit control signals. The user can control the gear position of the fan 60 through the button installed on the top wall of the housing 10, thereby controlling the volatilization rate of the fragrance to adjust the fragrance concentration in the car. In this way, the user can adjust the fragrance concentration in the car according to his or her own needs, further improving the convenience of using the car-mounted aromatherapy device.

[0043] For example, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the housing 10 includes a main housing portion 15 and a fragrance container 16. The mounting cavity 11 is disposed within the main housing portion 15. The fragrance container 16 is provided with the fragrance chamber 12. A mounting opening 151 is defined at the bottom of the main housing portion 15. The fragrance container 16 is removably mounted into the main housing portion 15 through the mounting opening 151, and the bottom wall of the fragrance container 16 is flush with the bottom wall of the main housing portion 15. When the fragrance in the fragrance chamber 12 is depleted, the user can remove the fragrance container 16 from the mounting opening 151 at the bottom of the main housing portion 15, refill the fragrance, and then reinstall it into the main housing portion 15 through the mounting opening 151. This allows users to easily refill fragrance without affecting the normal operation of the communication module 20 during the replenishment process, further improving the user-friendliness of the vehicle aromatherapy device.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the spice container 16 includes a base plate 161, a surrounding plate 162 and a buckle 163, the surrounding plate 162 and the buckle 163 are protruded from the upper surface of the base plate 161, the surrounding plate 162 and the base plate 161 enclose the spice chamber 12, and the buckle 163 is located outside the spice chamber 12; a push lock buckle 70 is provided in the main shell 15 near the installation port 151, and the buckle 163 is detachably connected to the push lock buckle 70, and the push lock buckle 70 is used to lock or release the buckle 163 when the base plate 161 is pressed.

[0045] The push-lock 70 works by pressing a button to extend or retract its hook or latch, thereby connecting or disconnecting it from the buckle 163. Once pressed, the hook or latch remains in a specific position. Pressing it again quickly returns it to its original position, allowing for two different control strokes. To remove the spice container 16, the user simply presses upward on the base plate 161 to disengage the buckle 163 from the push-lock 70, then removes the spice container 16 from the main housing 15. To install the spice container 16, the user simply aligns the buckle 163 with the push-lock 70 and presses on the base plate 161. This locks the buckle 163 securely to the push-lock 70, securing the spice container 16 to the main housing 15. This simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of the spice container 16, and thus the refilling process.

[0046] In practical applications, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, there are two latches 163, one on each opposite side of the enclosure 162. The number and position of the push-lock latches 70 correspond to the two latches 163, and each latch 163 is removably engaged with each push-lock latch 70. This increases the number of connection points between the fragrance container 16 and the main housing 15, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0047] Exemplarily, the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device that can be used to control a vehicle further includes a wireless networking module (not shown), which is mounted in the mounting cavity and is used to provide wireless networking for mobile devices. A wireless networking module is a Wi-Fi module that can emit radio waves for mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches to connect to the network. In conjunction with the above-mentioned embodiments of the circuit board 30 and battery 40, the wireless networking module can be mounted on the circuit board 30, and the battery 40 can provide power to the wireless networking module via the circuit board 30. Installing the wireless networking module in the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device that can be used to control a vehicle can give the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device the function of a wireless router, thereby improving the use effect of the vehicle-mounted aromatherapy device.

[0048] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
