[0057] Example 1

[0058] like Figures 1 to 3 , 6-10, the embodiment of the present invention provides an aromatherapy device 1, comprising an outer box 11, an aromatherapy module, and a driving device 13. Specifically, the outer box 11 is in the shape of a long cylinder, and is provided with an inlet and an outlet that are opposite and connected, preferably forming a channel in the transverse direction. The aromatherapy module is arranged in the outer box 11 and can move relative to the inlet and outlet directions of the outer box 11 (such as Figure 1 The drive device 13 is connected to the aromatherapy module to drive the aromatherapy module to move along the inlet and outlet directions; the aromatherapy module has a maximum open position 15, which is moved out of the outer box 11 from the outlet, and a closed position, which is moved back into the outer box 11. The aromatherapy module can be driven by the drive device 13 to move between the maximum open position 15 and the closed position to have different aromatherapy concentration levels.

[0059] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 10 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an embodiment of the present invention, the driving device 13 includes a motor 131, a pushing portion and a reset portion 133. One end of the pushing portion is connected to the motor 131, and the rotation of the motor 131 is converted into lateral movement of the other end of the pushing portion through a transmission mechanism. The other end of the pushing portion is connected to one end of the aromatherapy module corresponding to the inlet, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the right end of the pushing portion passes through the inlet and is connected to the left end of the aromatherapy module to push the aromatherapy module toward the outlet end, so that the aromatherapy module moves to the right outside the outer box 11 to emit the fragrance. The reset portion 133 connects the outer wall of the aromatherapy module and the inner wall of the outer box 11, and is used to drive the aromatherapy module to reset from the open position 15 to the closed position. The reset portion 133 is located between the aromatherapy module and the outer box 11, and acts on the inner wall of the outer box 11 and the outer wall of the aromatherapy module respectively. When the outer wall of the outer box 11 is fixed, the reset portion 133 applies a lateral leftward thrust to the aromatherapy module. After the aromatherapy module is separated from the pushing portion, the aromatherapy module loses the thrust of the pushing portion, and moves laterally to the left under the leftward thrust of the reset portion 133 until it is inside the outer box 11.

[0060] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 10 As shown, as one embodiment of the present invention, the propulsion unit includes a rack-and-pinion mechanism, wherein the motor shaft is connected directly or through a speed reducer to a gear, driving the gear to rotate. The motor 131 and the gear are both fixed, and the gear meshes with the rack, driving the rack to move laterally. The rack, as the protruding end of the propulsion unit, is connected to the aromatherapy module, thereby moving the aromatherapy module. Alternatively, a worm-gear mechanism may be used, wherein the motor shaft is connected directly or through a speed reducer to a worm wheel, driving the worm wheel to rotate. The motor 131 and the worm wheel are both fixed, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm, driving the worm to move laterally. The worm wheel, as the protruding end of the propulsion unit, is connected to the aromatherapy module, thereby moving the aromatherapy module. Alternatively, a slider-crank mechanism may be used, wherein the motor shaft is connected directly or through a speed reducer to a crank, which drives a connecting rod and, in turn, a slider, with one end of the slider connected to the aromatherapy module as the protruding end, thereby moving the aromatherapy module. When a slider-crank mechanism is used as the propulsion unit, the slider is longer than the lateral length of the outer box 11 to ensure that the length of the aromatherapy module pushed out of the outer box 11 meets the required fragrance intensity.

[0061] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 10 As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, the reset portion 133 includes a first limiting protrusion 1331, a second limiting protrusion 1333, and an elastic member 1333. The aromatherapy module and the outer box 11 are both cylindrical. The diameter of the aromatherapy module is smaller than that of the outer box 11, so that a certain gap exists between the outer peripheral side wall of the aromatherapy module and the inner side wall of the outer box 11. The first limiting protrusion 1331 is an annular structure and is arranged on the outer peripheral side wall of the aromatherapy module near the inlet. The elastic member 1333 is cylindrical and is preferably a spring. The elastic member 1333 can also be a rubber pad. The distance between the outer peripheral side wall of the cylindrical first limiting protrusion 1331 and the inner side wall of the outer box 11 is smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical elastic member 1333, so as to prevent the elastic member 1333 from being forced to escape from the gap between the first limiting protrusion 1331 and the outer box 11. The second limiting protrusion 1333 is located near the outlet and is arranged on the inner side wall of the outer box 11 corresponding to the first limiting protrusion 1331. The second limiting protrusion 1333 is an annular protrusion that partially blocks the outlet of the outer box 11 where it protrudes inward from the inner wall of the outer box 11. The distance between the inner wall of the second limiting protrusion 1333 and the outer wall of the aromatherapy module is less than the diameter of the cylindrical elastic member 1333, preventing the elastic member 1333 from being dislodged from the gap between the second limiting protrusion 1333 and the outer wall of the aromatherapy module. The first limiting protrusion 1331, the second limiting protrusion 1333, the outer wall of the aromatherapy module, and the inner wall of the outer box 11 form a reset installation space 134. The elastic member 1333 is positioned within the reset installation space 134 along the movement direction of the aromatherapy module. Because the first limiting protrusion 1331 and the second limiting protrusion 1333 are both annular in structure, they form an annular space between them, the outer wall of the aromatherapy module, and the inner wall of the outer box 11. The number of elastic members 1333 can be a combination of one or more.

[0062] Preferably, there are multiple elastic members 1333 , and the multiple elastic members 1333 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the fragrance module, so that the fragrance module is evenly stressed.

[0063] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 10 As shown, as one embodiment of the present invention, the aromatherapy device 1 further includes a sealing structure 14, which is disposed at the inlet and outlet of the aromatherapy module, respectively, so that the aromatherapy module is sealed within the outer box 11 when in the closed position. In the closed position, the sealing structure 14 cooperates with the aromatherapy module to block and seal the inlet and outlet, preventing fragrance from leaking out of the aromatherapy module.

[0064] Preferably, the sealing structure 14 includes: an end cover 141, a pressure cover 142 and a sealing ring 143, wherein:

[0065] The end cover 141 is arranged at the inlet; the outer side surface of the end cover 141 is interference fit with the inner wall surface of the outer box 11, and the inner side surface of the end cover 141 is clearance fit with the outer wall of the aromatherapy module; the end of the end cover 141 located in the outer box 11 abuts against the first limiting protrusion 1331 in the closed position; the pressure cover 142 is arranged at the outlet; the pressure cover 142 includes the cover plate and an extended end perpendicular to the cover plate, and the extended end is connected to the aromatherapy module; in the closed position, the cover plate is covered on the outlet; the sealing ring 143 is connected to the pressure cover 142, and in the closed position, the sealing ring 143 is sealed between the pressure cover 142 and the end of the outer box 11.

[0066] Further preferably, the end cap 141 is annular in shape, and its inner wall is provided with an inwardly facing annular protrusion, which cooperates with the outer wall of the aromatherapy module in the closed position to enhance the sealing effect. In the closed position, the end of the end cap 141 located within the outer box 11 abuts against the first limiting protrusion 13311331. The flow hole of the aromatherapy module is provided between the first limiting protrusion 13311331 and the right end of the aromatherapy module. The aromatherapy module between the first limiting protrusion 1331 and the left end of the aromatherapy module does not have a flow hole. In the closed position, the first limiting protrusion 1331 abuts against one end of the end cover 141, which can seal the flow hole between the first limiting protrusion 1331 and the right end of the outer box 11. The cover is set at the outlet, and the sealing ring 143 is connected to the pressure cover 142. The sealing ring 143 is sealed between the pressure cover 142 and the end of the outer box 11 to seal the outlet of the outer box 11. Combined with the abutment of the first limiting protrusion 1331 and the end cover 141, the flow hole can be well closed between the first limiting protrusion 1331 and the pressure cover 142.

[0067] Preferably, the outer wall of the extended end of the pressure cover 142 is provided with a latching protrusion, the extended end of the pressure cover 142 is embedded in the aromatherapy module, and the latching protrusion is engaged with the inner wall of the aromatherapy module to achieve the connection between the pressure cover 142 and the aromatherapy module.

[0068] Preferably, a positioning protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the end cover 141 , and the end cover 141 is embedded in the inlet of the outer box 11 , and the positioning protrusion is engaged with the inner wall of the outer box 11 to achieve fixed installation of the end cover 141 .

[0069] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 10 As shown in FIG. 1 , as one embodiment of the present invention, the aromatherapy module includes a housing 121 and an aromatherapy block. The housing 121 is cylindrical, with a first stopper protrusion 1331 provided on the outer wall of the housing 121. The housing 121 defines a storage space, with the bottom of the left end of the storage space located to the right of the first stopper protrusion 1331. The sidewall of the housing 121 is provided with multiple circulation holes. The aromatherapy block is positioned within the storage space, allowing the aroma of the aromatherapy block to dissipate outward through the circulation holes.

[0070] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 10 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an embodiment of the present invention, the flow holes are sequentially distributed along the transverse direction from the protruding end of the aromatherapy module, wherein, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the distance between two adjacent circulation holes is a first spacing, and the length of the aromatherapy module extending out of the outer box 11 is an integer multiple of the sum of the first spacing and the aperture of the circulation hole. In this way, the added strength can be controlled by controlling the number of circulation holes extending out of the outer box 11.

[0071] Preferably, a control device is further provided to automatically control the aromatherapy function and aromatherapy concentration level of the aromatherapy device 1. Specifically, the control device is electrically connected to the drive device 13 to control the drive device 13. The control device controls the movement direction, movement speed, and extension length of the extension end of the push portion of the drive device 13, thereby controlling the length of the aromatherapy module extending rightward outside the outer box 11. The portion of the aromatherapy module located outside the outer box 11 can emit fragrance, while the portion of the aromatherapy module located inside the outer box 11 cannot emit fragrance. Therefore, as the length of the aromatherapy module extending outside the outer box 11 increases, the intensity of the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy module also increases, and conversely, the intensity of the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy module decreases.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] like Figures 4 and 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a lint collector 22 with an aromatherapy function, which is provided with the aromatherapy device 1 described in the embodiment, and the outer box 11 of the aromatherapy device 1 is embedded in the lint collector 22 .

[0074] Preferably, the inner wall of the lint collector 22 is provided with at least one raised rib 221 , and the aromatherapy module is provided with an adapting groove 123 corresponding to the raised rib 221 , and the protruding end of the raised rib 221 is inserted into the adapting groove 123 to fix the outer box 11 .

[0075] Further preferably, the lint collector 22 comprises:

[0076] The box bottom 222 includes a box opening 2221;

[0077] The flip cover 223 is openably buckled on the box opening 2221 and defines a collecting space 23 of the lint collector 22 together with the box bottom 222 . When in use, the flip cover 223 can be opened to disassemble the outer box 11 or replace the aromatherapy block.

[0078] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 11 As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the lint collector 22 is provided with at least one raised rib 221, and the raised rib 221 includes:

[0079] A first rib 2211 protrudes from the box bottom 222 toward the collecting space 23;
