Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aromatherapy technology applied in homes, cars, offices, etc., and specifically relates to a cup holder aromatherapy diffuser. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, in order to improve the air environment inside private cars and indoors, people usually place solid air fresheners, spray perfumes, or place aromatherapy essential oils in the car or indoors to make the car smell fragrant, eliminate the fatigue of drivers and passengers, enliven the atmosphere in the car, and enhance the driving pleasure.

[0003] However, existing car air freshener products mainly fall into the following categories: first, air vent air fresheners clipped to the vents; second, air freshener holders, bottles, and cup holders placed in the car; and third, hanging air fresheners suspended from the rearview mirror. Existing perfume bottles and cup holders use absorbent cotton cores and / or scent-diffusing cotton pads to absorb perfume, which is then directly exposed to the air for evaporation. This can easily lead to spillage and leakage during use. Secondly, some existing products use exposed breathable or evaporation membranes for sealing to prevent leakage. However, exposed evaporation membranes have several drawbacks: first, they have visible burrs around the edges, making them unsightly; second, they are located at the end of the cap, making them prone to accidental puncture upon impact; and third, they are susceptible to dirt accumulation upon contact with external objects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the existing technical defects and provide a cup holder aromatherapy diffuser, which has the characteristics of good fragrance diffusion and good leakage prevention, and has a simple and beautiful overall structure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cup holder aromatherapy diffuser, including a bottle for containing fragrance substances, a top cover fitted onto the upper end of the bottle, and a cover body placed inside the top cover and covering the bottle mouth. The upper end of the cover body is recessed with a groove, and the middle of the groove is recessed with a receiving groove. A stepped groove structure is formed between the groove and the receiving groove. A liquid guiding component is provided in the receiving groove. The bottom surface of the groove is provided with a volatile film to seal the receiving groove. The upper surface of the liquid guiding component abuts against the inner surface of the volatile film. A plurality of fragrance dispersing holes are provided through the top cover. A liquid suction rod with its lower end extending into the bottle to absorb the fragrance substances inside the bottle is inserted into the bottle mouth. The upper end of the liquid suction rod passes through the cover body and abuts against the lower end of the liquid guiding component.

[0006] Furthermore, the receiving groove is provided with a number of right-angled limiting ribs that extend along its wall and bottom. The liquid guiding component is provided on the limiting ribs so that the liquid guiding component is suspended in the receiving groove, and a gap is formed between the periphery of the liquid guiding component and the wall of the receiving groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the middle of the receiving groove is provided with a through hole with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the suction rod.

[0008] Furthermore, an inner plug is inserted into the bottle opening, and a fixing hole is provided in the middle of the inner plug for the suction rod to pass through vertically; a leakage groove communicating with the through hole is formed between the upper end of the inner plug and the suction rod, and at least one leakage hole communicating with the internal space of the bottle is provided through the bottom of the leakage groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the cap is provided with a threaded portion that is threaded to the bottle mouth and presses the inner plug downward.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the inner plug is recessed with an annular groove surrounding the leakage groove, and the lower end of the cover is provided with an annular platform surrounding the through hole and sealed and inserted into the annular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower inner side of the top cover is provided with at least one buckle, and the upper outer periphery of the bottle is provided with at least one circumferentially extending groove that corresponds to and engages with the buckle. One end of the groove is connected to a clearance groove that extends axially and allows the buckle to engage with the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a raised rib is provided at one end of the card slot near the relief groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the top cover is also provided with a plurality of longitudinally arranged stop posts, the bottom of which abuts against the top surface of the bottle.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the cover is recessed downwards to form a recessed position, and a number of aroma-dispersing holes are arranged in a ring array around the recessed position. At least one air inlet hole is also provided on one side of the cover.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this invention, the opening of the receiving groove is sealed with an evaporative membrane, creating a closed space. A suction stick is inserted into the bottle to draw in perfume or aromatherapy oil and conduct it upwards to the liquid guide. The perfume drawn in by the guide is confined within the cap and cannot flow outwards; it is only conducted to the evaporative membrane. The evaporative membrane absorbs the perfume or aromatherapy oil and then slowly evaporates and diffuses the fragrance. This aromatherapy cup holder can be placed directly indoors or in a car. Since the evaporative membrane only wets the membrane paper after absorbing liquid, no liquid will leak out. Therefore, the evaporative membrane method of dispersing fragrance avoids the problem of perfume overflow, thus preventing leakage caused by perfume spillage. Furthermore, the entire surface of the evaporation membrane is exposed to air for fragrance dissipation, resulting in better fragrance dissipation compared to breathable membranes. It features both excellent fragrance dissipation and leak-proof properties, and its overall structure is simple. Secondly, a groove is added to the cover, forming a stepped groove structure. The evaporation membrane is positioned at the bottom of the groove, creating an embedded, semi-hidden structure. Compared to structures where the evaporation membrane is on the outer end, this design avoids exposing the evaporation membrane around its edges, thus improving the overall aesthetics. It also reduces the possibility of the evaporation membrane coming into contact with the human body or external objects, minimizing the risk of accidental punctures and contamination.

[0017] In addition, a cap is fitted over the top of the bottle, which encloses the cap inside the cap, further improving the overall aesthetics. Secondly, it prevents the exposed volatile film from being accidentally punctured or soiled after contact with the human body or external objects.

[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and will become apparent from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that if there are descriptions such as "first" and "second" in the text, they are used to distinguish different components, etc., and do not represent the order of priority, nor do they limit "first" and "second" to be different types.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown in this embodiment, the aromatherapy cup holder includes a bottle 1 for holding the fragrance substance, a top cover 2 fitted onto the upper part of the bottle 1, and a cap 3 that covers the mouth of the bottle 1 and is placed inside the top cover 2. The fragrance substance contained in the bottle 1 is preferably a liquid perfume or aromatherapy product. The upper end of the cap 3 is recessed with a groove 31, and the middle of the groove 31 is recessed with a receiving groove 32. A stepped groove structure is formed between the groove 31 and the receiving groove 32. A liquid guide 4 is provided in the receiving groove 32. A liquid suction stick 5 is inserted into the mouth of the bottle 1, with its lower end extending into the bottle 1 to absorb the fragrance substance inside. The upper end of the liquid suction stick 5 passes through the cap 3 and abuts against the lower end of the liquid guide 4, thereby absorbing the fragrance substance. The liquid guiding action of the rod 5 conducts the perfume in the bottle upward to the liquid guiding component 4, where it is absorbed. The bottom surface of the groove 31 is provided with an evaporation membrane 6 that seals the receiving groove 32. The upper surface of the liquid guiding component 4 abuts against the inner surface of the evaporation membrane 6, so that the perfume on the liquid guiding component 4 will continue to be conducted upward to the evaporation membrane 6. After the perfume is absorbed by the evaporation membrane 6, it slowly evaporates and diffuses the fragrance, making the fragrance of the cup holder diffuser last for a long time without wasting perfume. It has the characteristics of good fragrance diffusion and good leakage prevention. Several fragrance diffusion holes 21 are provided through the upper cover 2, and a cavity 20 is formed between the upper cover 2 and the cover body 3 to facilitate the circulation of air inside and outside and the outward evaporation of fragrance by the evaporation membrane 6.

[0033] In one embodiment, the volatile membrane 6 is preferably a porous membrane, i.e., a dialysis membrane, from brands such as Teslin and Daramic, and the thickness of the volatile membrane 6 is preferably 0.5-1 mm.

[0034] In the above-described process, the opening of the receiving slot is sealed with an evaporative membrane, creating a closed space. A suction stick is inserted into the bottle to draw in perfume or aromatherapy oil and conduct it upwards to the liquid guide. The perfume drawn in by the guide is confined within the cap and cannot flow outwards; it is only conducted to the evaporative membrane. The evaporative membrane absorbs the perfume or aromatherapy oil and then slowly evaporates and diffuses the fragrance. This aromatherapy cup holder can be placed directly indoors or in a car. Since the evaporative membrane only wets the membrane paper after absorbing liquid, no liquid will leak out. Therefore, this evaporative membrane diffusion method avoids the problem of perfume overflow, thus preventing leakage issues caused by perfume spillage. Furthermore, the entire surface of the evaporation membrane is exposed to air for fragrance dissipation, resulting in better fragrance dissipation compared to breathable membranes. It features both excellent fragrance dissipation and leak-proof properties, and its overall structure is simple. Secondly, a groove is added to the cover, forming a stepped groove structure. The evaporation membrane is positioned at the bottom of the groove, creating an embedded, semi-hidden structure. Compared to structures where the evaporation membrane is on the outer end, this design avoids exposing the evaporation membrane around its edges, thus improving the overall aesthetics. It also reduces the possibility of the evaporation membrane coming into contact with the human body or external objects, minimizing the risk of accidental punctures and contamination.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the receiving tank 32 has several right-angled limiting ribs 33 protruding and extending along its wall and bottom. The liquid guiding component 4 is provided on the limiting ribs 33 so that the liquid guiding component 4 is suspended in the receiving tank 32. In this way, the liquid overflowing from the liquid guiding component 4 will drip down to the bottom of the receiving tank 32, and a gap 30 is formed between the periphery of the liquid guiding component 4 and the wall of the receiving tank 32.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the middle of the receiving tank 32 is provided with a through hole 34 with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the suction rod 5, so that the liquid that overflows and drips to the bottom of the receiving tank 32 can continue to flow back downward through the through hole 34.

[0037] As a preferred option, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, an inner plug 7 is inserted into the mouth of bottle 1. The middle of the inner plug 7 has a fixing hole 71 for the suction rod 5 to pass through vertically. A leakage groove 72 communicating with the through hole 34 is formed between the upper end of the inner plug 71 and the suction rod 5. At least one leakage hole 73 communicating with the internal space of the bottle is provided through the bottom of the leakage groove 72, so that the overflowing liquid flows back down through the through hole 34 and falls into the leakage groove 72. At this time, part of the liquid will be repeatedly absorbed by the suction rod, and the other part will flow back into the bottle from the leakage hole 73.

[0038] As a preferred option, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the lower end of the cap 3 is provided with a threaded portion 35 that is threaded to the bottle mouth of the bottle 1 and presses down on the inner plug 7; the top of the inner plug 7 is recessed with an annular groove 74 surrounding the leakage groove 72, and the lower end of the cap 3 is provided with an annular platform 36 surrounding the through hole 34 and sealed and inserted into the annular groove 74. After assembly, the sealing between the two can be improved, preventing the liquid in the bottle from flowing out through the gap between the inner plug and the threaded cap.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the lower inner side of the top cover 2 is provided with two symmetrically arranged buckles 22, and the upper outer periphery of the bottle 1 is provided with two circumferentially extending slots 11 that correspond to and engage with the buckles 22. One end of the slot 11 is connected to a relief slot 12 that extends axially and allows the buckles 22 to be engaged in the slot 11. That is, the assembly structure between the top cover 2 and the bottle 1 is combined by a screw fastener, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the two. When assembling the top cover 2 and the bottle 1, the buckles 22 are first inserted downward along the relief slots 12. After being inserted into place, the top cover is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to rotate the buckles 22 circumferentially and screw them into the slots 11.

[0040] As a preferred option, such as Figures 2 to 9 As shown, a rib 13 is provided at one end of the slot 11 near the relief slot 12. When the top cover 2 and the bottle 1 are in the rotating and locked position, the rib 13 acts as a stop to restrict the rotation of the top cover, preventing the top cover 2 from easily falling off during use. When disassembling, a certain force needs to be applied to the top cover 2 so that the buckle 22 can overcome the stopping force of the rib 13 and rotate outward from the slot 11.

[0041] As a preferred option, such as Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the inner wall of the top cover 2 is also provided with several longitudinally arranged stop posts 23. The bottom of the stop posts 23 abuts against the top surface of the bottle 1. The stop posts 23 serve two purposes: first, to position and limit the top cover 2 during assembly; and second, to strengthen the top cover 2.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 9As shown, the upper end of the cover 2 is recessed downward in the middle to form a recess 24. The recess 24 is surrounded by a smooth transition surface with an incline. The smooth transition surface around the recess 24 is provided with a number of fragrance holes 21 arranged in a ring array, which effectively improves the overall aesthetics.

[0043] As a preferred option, such as Figures 8 to 9 As shown, at least one air inlet 25 is provided on one side of the top cover 2, which works in conjunction with the fragrance dispersing hole 21 to improve the airflow between the inside and outside.

[0044] In other embodiments, the liquid guiding element is a cotton pad, and the liquid absorbing rod is a cotton swab.

[0045] 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.
