[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the aromatherapy device in this embodiment includes a front panel 1 and a rear panel 2. The rear panel 2 has a U-shaped structure with a U-shaped clamping groove 20. A clamping groove 10 with openings on all four sides is formed between one side of the rear panel 2 and the front panel 1. A fragrance-emitting body 3, located between the front panel 1 and the rear panel 2 and used for dispersing fragrance, is fitted into the clamping groove 10. The opening of the U-shaped clamping groove 20 faces one side of the aromatherapy device, that is, the U-shaped clamping groove 20 and the clamping groove 10 are arranged in a front-to-back structure. In this structure, the rear panel is designed as a U-shaped structure so that the aromatherapy device can be placed in the U-shaped clamping groove on the rear panel. This device is designed to be securely clamped to the sun visor of a car, with the front panel facing downwards. It conceals the fragrance emitter in the center, making it more discreet and less likely to be observed. This design does not affect the space or aesthetics of the car's center console and features a simple structure and compact size. Compared to methods that use a box-like structure to house the fragrance emitter and then diffuse it, this exposed fragrance emitter enhances the diffusion effect. Ideally, the size of the fragrance emitter should be smaller than the front panel to ensure the front panel completely covers the front of the fragrance emitter, improving both concealment and aesthetics.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rear panel 2 includes an integrally formed flat plate portion 21, a bent portion 22 connected to one end of the flat plate portion 21, and an elastic clamping portion 23 connected to the other end of the bent portion 22. A U-shaped clamping groove 20 is formed between the elastic clamping portion 23 and the flat plate portion 21, and a clamping groove 10 is formed between the outer side of the flat plate portion 21 and the front panel 1. The flat plate portion 21 is flat.

[0030] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the elastic clamping part 23 is inclined toward the flat plate part 21, that is, when its movable end extends outward, it is also inclined toward the elastic clamping part, so that the U-shaped clamping groove 20 between the elastic clamping part 23 and the flat plate part 21 forms a narrow opening structure with a smaller outer side and a larger inner side, which can better adapt to clamping on external fixed objects (such as sunshades) of different thicknesses.

[0031] Preferably, the movable end of the elastic clamping part 23 is provided with a bent tightening part 231 that protrudes toward the flat plate part 21 to improve the clamping force and prevent the clamping part from easily falling off.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, a fixing part 24 is provided on the middle of the outer side of the flat plate part 21. A slot 25 is provided on the side of the fixing part 24 facing the front panel 1. Two symmetrically arranged slots 26 are provided through the wall of the slot 25. Two elastic arms 11 are provided on the middle of the rear side of the front panel 1 and inserted into the slot 25. Both elastic arms 11 are inserted along the two side walls of the slot 25. The outer side of the two elastic arms 11 is provided with buckles 12 that correspond to and engage with the two slots 26. The fragrance body 3 is fitted outside the fixing part 24.

[0033] As a preferred option, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the front end of the elastic arm 11 has a protruding limiting part 13, and the flat plate 21 has a limiting groove 27 that accommodates the limiting part 13. The width of the limiting groove 27 is greater than the width of the limiting part 13, that is, the limiting part 13 can elastically deform within the range of the limiting groove 27. The outer surface of the limiting part 13 is a chamfered bevel, so that a disassembly groove 28 is formed between the outer side of the limiting part and the wall of the limiting groove. Thus, an external disassembly tool can be inserted into the disassembly groove through the limiting groove and apply pressure to the limiting part 13, so that the limiting part and the elastic arm undergo elastic deformation, thereby disassembling the rear panel and the front panel.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the rear side of the front panel 1 is also provided with a plurality of stop portions 14 that abut against the front end face of the fixing portion 24, and a first guide piece 15 and a second guide piece 16 that are inserted into the slot 25. The first guide piece 15 and the second guide piece 16 are arranged in parallel vertically, and the first guide piece 15 and the second guide piece 16 are inserted along the upper and lower inner walls of the slot 25 to guide and position the insertion. Two reinforcing ribs 29 are also provided on the inner wall of the slot 25 to improve the strength of the fixing portion.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the front surface of the front panel 1 is provided with a decorative piece 4 made of leather or metal to enhance its aesthetics.

[0036] As a preferred option, such as Figure 7 As shown, the front surface of the front panel 1 is recessed with a groove 17 for accommodating the decorative piece 4.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, both the front panel 1 and the decorative piece 4 are curved structures that bend backwards to improve their structural three-dimensionality and aesthetics. One end of the bend in the front panel 1 is on the same side as the opening of the U-shaped groove 20, and the other end is on the opposite side. This way, when the aromatherapy device is used with the sunshade, the bent, upturned end can cover the front and rear ends of the fragrance body as much as possible. The fragrance body 3 is a plate-like structure that is thick in the middle and thin around the edges, so that the two upturned ends of the front panel contact the outer periphery of the front side of the fragrance body. A gap 18 for airflow is formed between the middle curved part of the front panel and the fragrance body. The middle of the flat plate 21 abuts against the middle of the rear side of the fragrance body, so that a gap 18 for airflow is formed between the four sides of the rear surface of the fragrance body and the back panel, increasing the contact area between the fragrance body and the air, thereby improving the fragrance diffusion effect.

[0038] In other embodiments, the fragrance-generating body is preferably a solid balm or a fragrance-absorbing cotton pad, high-temperature cotton pad, etc.

[0039] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for helping to understand the principles of the embodiments of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
