Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive interior accessories technology, and in particular to an expandable and multi-purpose automotive aroma diffuser. Background Technology
[0002] The current automotive market has an increasing demand for fresh and fragrant in-car air. Traditional car air conditioning fragrance devices are divided into fragrance diffusers, fragrance clips, and fragrance pendants. These fragrance diffusers can be basically divided into two categories based on their diffusion methods: powered diffusers and non-powered diffusers. Powered diffusers mainly refer to the use of electricity or fire to provide energy for liquids, pastes, and fragrance storage media to vaporize fragrances or essential oils or to release them into the air with water mist to provide fragrance. Non-powered diffusers mainly diffuse through air evaporation.
[0003] Most powered diffusers currently use liquid fragrances or essential oils. They are primarily used in large spaces such as homes. Smaller powered diffusers for cars are charged via car chargers or solar power. They diffuse fragrances or essential oils into the air using ultrasonic waves, but there are strict restrictions on the essential oils used; they must be water-soluble and cannot be oil-soluble. These diffusers often experience clogging of the ultrasonic atomizer, requiring regular cleaning with alcohol, and are prone to damage. Additionally, there are two-fluid technology diffusers, which use rapidly rotating particles to atomize the essential oil. This addresses the common problem of clogging in spray nozzles, but the rotating particles cause noise and significant leakage. These devices offer excellent diffusion, but their designs are limited, they are expensive, prone to breakage with continuous use, and the liquid essential oils or fragrances are consumed quickly, resulting in high ongoing operating costs.
[0004] Commonly available non-powered diffusers, besides using liquid fragrances or essential oils, also come in various forms such as pastes, PE sheets, fiber cotton, EVA glue, volcanic rock, and wood pulp cotton as fragrance storage media. The main product forms are plastic air vent diffuser clips, perfume bottle pendants, fiber diffuser pendants, cotton paper diffuser pendants, and perfume bottle ornaments. While there are many forms, the basic principle is to use a carrier to store fragrances or essential oils, achieving fragrance enhancement through automatic diffusion. Examples include perfume bottles with diffuser heads, PE sheets, EVA glue, volcanic rock, specific types of wood, fibers, and compressed cotton. These products are inexpensive, but most are disposable, with low reusability and significant resource waste. Reusable non-powered diffusers, such as wooden diffusers, fiber diffuser pendants, and air vent diffuser clips, can be reused by replacing the diffuser pads or adding essential oils, fragrances, or perfumes. However, these products are limited in form and have poor adaptability, making it difficult to meet the needs of users for changing car interior themes and enhancing fragrance in various scenarios.
[0005] To address the above issues, this patent invention provides a novel expandable and multi-purpose car air freshener diffuser. By improving the structure of the air freshener storage container, the diffuser's appearance is expandable and variable, its application scenarios are diversified, and it is suitable for various air freshener storage media. This effectively reduces the cost of using car air fresheners, improves the reusability of car air freshener diffusers, extends their service life, enhances the interior decoration effect of the diffuser, expands the application scenarios, and reduces the use of disposable materials.

[0028] Example 1:
[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 An expandable and multi-purpose car air freshener diffuser includes an air storage box 1, and further includes: an air inlet 101 located on the top of the air storage box 1; an air outlet 102 for dispersing the fragrance inside the air storage box 1, with the air outlet 102 located on both sides of the air storage box 1; an end cap 2 that cooperates with the air storage box 1 to form the main body of the air freshener diffuser for storing and releasing fragrance; and an air inlet 201 provided on the end cap 2.
[0030] In this utility model, when the user uses it, a small hole is opened at the top of the front half of the fragrance box 1 as a fragrance inlet 101, which can be used as an inlet for perfume or essential oil, avoiding the need to frequently open the aroma diffuser and making it convenient to continuously add essential oil or perfume later; in addition, the aroma diffuser can also be hung on the rearview mirror of a car as a car ornament by stringing a rope chain through the fragrance inlet 101.
[0031] The aroma diffuser body, consisting of end cap 2 and aroma storage box 1, is a cylindrical plastic part that opens and closes via a thread. After opening, the interior can hold aroma storage materials such as PE sheets, fiber cotton, EVA glue, volcanic rock, and aroma diffuser wood, making it convenient for users to replace fragrances and clean.
[0032] The air inlet 201 allows for continuous fragrance dissipation through the fragrance outlet 102.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] Reference Figures 1-5 Similar to Embodiment 1, but further: the front of the incense box 1 is a closed plane; the incense outlet 102 is located in the upper half of the side of the incense box 1; the incense box 1 is provided with a first threaded part 103, and the end cap 2 is provided with a second threaded part 203; the incense box 1 and the end cap 2 are connected by threads of the first threaded part 103 and the second threaded part 203; the end cap 2 is provided with a clip fixing groove 202, and a positioning clip 3 is provided in the clip fixing groove 202; the positioning clip 3 is composed of an insert 301, a support part 302 and a clamping part 303, and the insert 301 slides in the clip fixing groove 202; the end of the end cap 2 facing the incense box 1 is provided with a protrusion 4, and a mixing chamber 5 is formed between the protrusion 4 and the end cap 2.
[0035] The front of the fragrance storage box 1 is flat, making it easy to add decorative items later. The sides and top have directional openings for fragrance diffusion and easy to fix ropes and chains. Specifically, the flat front of the fragrance storage box 1 can be fitted with various decorative parts, thereby customizing and beautifying the aroma diffuser as an interior accessory for cars. It is also easy to customize and add decorative parts of various shapes, making the aroma diffuser into decorative items with different themes, satisfying the needs of various manufacturers and craft enthusiasts.
[0036] This aroma diffuser can be used in indoor air conditioning vents, bathroom heater vents, and as a personal accessory. The open clip fixing slot 202 on the back of the end cap 2 can be used to fix various positioning clips 3, such as stainless steel vent clips, to fix the aroma diffuser on the air conditioning vent blades of a car as an air vent diffuser. It can also be fixed with a horizontal clip to be used in backpacks, clothes, wardrobes, etc. The insert block 301 facilitates the installation of the positioning clip 3, and the support part 302 is triangular, which can enhance the stability of the positioning clip 3.
[0037] The back of this aroma diffuser (i.e., end cap 2) features a partial groove design, facilitating the insertion and removal of the positioning clip 3. Compared to the currently mainstream raised groove or flat design, this design serves two main purposes: First, it makes the aroma diffuser appear more rounded and harmonious overall. Second, when the aroma diffuser is used as an air outlet aroma diffuser clip, after the interior is filled with fragrance storage material, the spaces on both sides of the groove can act as an air intake buffer zone, allowing the incoming air to fully contact the fragrance storage material, resulting in a more even release of fragrance. The air entering the mixing chamber 5 is fully mixed with the fragrance within the mixing chamber 5, making the fragrance emitted from the fragrance outlet 102 more even and longer-lasting.
[0038] The air inlet 201 is located on the left and right sides of the clip fixing slot 202, and the fragrance outlet 102 is located on the upper half of the side of the fragrance storage box 1. This facilitates continuous fragrance diffusion and allows the lower half to temporarily store essential oils or perfumes. Especially when used as an air outlet clip, it has a larger fragrance storage space compared to similar products, which can better extend the single use time. As the fragrance stored in the upper fragrance storage material is exhausted, the remaining fragrance diffuses naturally from the lower layer to the upper layer within the fragrance storage material, and then diffuses outwards. This facilitates continuous fragrance diffusion, making the fragrance more even and lasting, unlike other methods where the fragrance is unusually strong at the beginning of use and then fades quickly.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
