[0027] The gas volatilization assembly 3 is inserted into the shell 1 through the first opening 11; the gas volatilization assembly 3; the gas volatilization assembly 3 is installed in the socket shell 7, the PTC thermistor 2 is inserted into the socket shell 7, and the gas volatilization assembly 3 is sleeved on the PTC thermistor 2, or is arranged on the side of the PTC thermistor 2, or surrounds the side of the PTC thermistor 2; the socket shell 7 is provided with a gas volatilization through hole 71 at one end close to the first opening 11.
[0028] The portable aromatherapy device provided by the utility model adopts the PTC thermistor 2 to provide a constant heating temperature for the gas volatilization assembly 3, and simultaneously can simplify the control circuit of heating, and is favorable for miniaturization and portability of the aromatherapy device. On this basis, the portable aromatherapy device further provides the gas volatilization assembly 3 with a porous structure and capable of adsorbing aromatherapy liquid in cooperation with the PTC thermistor 2, the gas volatilization assembly 3 is sleeved on the PTC thermistor 2, or is arranged on the side of the PTC thermistor 2, or surrounds the side of the PTC thermistor 2 after being loaded into the shell 1 through the socket shell 7, the PTC thermistor 2 provides a constant heating temperature for the gas volatilization assembly 3, the gas volatilization assembly 3 with the porous structure has good permeability, and the gas volatilization assembly 3 volatilizes the aroma, and the aroma is dissipated through the gas volatilization through hole 71, so that the portable aromatherapy device has good permeability. Therefore, the aromatherapy device can ensure good and continuous gas volatilization characteristics on the basis of miniaturization and portability.
[0029] Specifically, the PTC thermistor 2 is a resistor with a positive temperature coefficient, and the resistance value thereof increases with the increase of temperature. The PTC thermistor 2 is a barium titanate series semiconductor ceramic, and different doping materials and sintering curves show different resistivities and Curie temperatures. The characteristic that the resistance value of the PTC ceramic thermistor changes in a step manner above the Curie temperature can make the body temperature constant in a small change range without the help of any temperature control circuit when a wide voltage range (such as ±30% of the rated voltage) fluctuation is applied, which is the temperature-stabilized heating body characteristic of the PTC thermistor 2. This characteristic can simplify many control circuits. And for other heating bodies with a fixed resistance value (R), it can be known from P=U 2 / R that the power change range is too large, and a control circuit is needed to have a stable power output.
[0030] Specifically, for the positional relationship between the gas volatilization assembly 3 and the PTC thermistor 2, in an embodiment, the gas volatilization assembly 3 is sleeved on the PTC thermistor 2, that is, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the gas volatilization component 3 can be in a cylindrical shape with only one end open, and the PTC thermistor 2 is inserted into the gas volatilization component 3 through the one end, and the gas volatilization component 3 covers the top and the side of the PTC thermistor 2. In another embodiment, the gas volatilization component 3 is arranged beside the PTC thermistor 2, for example, only one gas volatilization component 3 is arranged beside the PTC thermistor 2, or two or more gas volatilization components 3 are arranged in intervals around the PTC thermistor 2. In another embodiment, the gas volatilization component 3 is arranged around the PTC thermistor 2, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the gas volatilization component 3 can be in a cylindrical shape with both ends open, and the PTC thermistor 2 is inserted into the gas volatilization component 3 through one end, and the gas volatilization component 3 covers the side of the PTC thermistor 2, and does not cover the top. The gas volatilization component 3 and the PTC thermistor 2 can be arranged in close contact, or there can be a small gap.
[0031] The material of the gas volatilization component 3 can be porous ceramic material, or porous polymer material, or loose fiber material. The gas volatilization component 3 adsorbs the aromatherapy liquid through the porous structure thereon, and volatilizes to form fragrance after being heated.
[0032] Further, the volatilization component 3 has a heat-permeable film layer on the surface, which seals the volatilization of the aromatherapy liquid when not heated, and the aromatherapy liquid can volatilize through the heat-permeable film layer when heated. When the volatilization component 3 is not heated by the PTC thermistor, the heat-permeable film layer is not heated, and at this time the heat-permeable film layer is in a sealing state, which can seal the volatilization of the aromatherapy liquid, and the aromatherapy liquid cannot volatilize through the heat-permeable film layer, which can avoid unnecessary volatilization of the aromatherapy liquid; when the volatilization component 3 is heated by the PTC thermistor, the heat-permeable film layer is heated, and at this time the heat-permeable film layer is in a permeable state, and the aromatherapy liquid can volatilize through the heat-permeable film layer. For example, the heat-permeable film layer can be a paraffin film layer with fiber material added, in the heated state, the activity of molecules increases, and the fragrance will diffuse faster from the gaps between the fiber materials, while in the non-heated state, the activity of molecules is much smaller, and the fragrance is not easy to diffuse from the gaps between the fiber materials. The melting point of paraffin is about 85°C, and the heating temperature of the PTC thermistor can be controlled at about 40°C, so that the heating of the PTC thermistor will not cause the paraffin to melt, but only accelerate the diffusion of the perfume from the gaps between the fiber materials.
[0033] The aroma volatile through holes 71 on the plug-in shell 7 can be provided with a plurality of, here is not specifically limited. The gas volatile assembly 3 is detachably inserted into the shell 1 through the first opening 11. The gas volatile assembly 3 can be replaced. The two sub-housings 1 of the plug-in shell 7 can also be detachably fitted, so only the gas volatile assembly 3 needs to be replaced. Of course, in another embodiment, the gas volatile assembly 3 can also be replaced as a whole.
[0034] Specifically, the portable aromatherapy device includes a first circuit board 5 installed below the gas volatile assembly 3, a PTC thermistor 2 installed on the first circuit board 5, and a main control circuit board 4 installed below the first circuit board 5; the first circuit board 5 is electrically connected with the main control circuit board 4. By installing the PTC thermistor 2 on the first circuit board 5 and installing the main control circuit board 4 below the first circuit board 5, the vertical stacking of electronic components is achieved. This layout reduces the size of the entire aromatherapy device, facilitating miniaturization and portability. The close electrical connection between the first circuit board 5 and the main control circuit board 4 simplifies circuit design, reduces the use of connection lines, and reduces manufacturing costs and complexity. Moreover, the PTC thermistor 2 is installed on the first circuit board 5, and the main control circuit board 4 is below it. The PTC thermistor 2 generates heat when it is working, and the main control circuit board 4 is usually sensitive to temperature, so this layout helps to protect the main control circuit board 4 from high temperature and prolong the service life of the aromatherapy device. Specifically, the PTC thermistor 2 can be soldered to the first circuit board 5, and the two electrodes of the PTC thermistor 2 are respectively connected to the electrodes 51. Specifically, one end of the PTC thermistor is soldered to the first circuit board, and the other end extends from the second opening and is assembled with the gas volatile assembly.

By setting the first rib 12 as a boundary, the internal space of the shell 1 is divided into the upper mounting cavity 13 and the lower mounting cavity 14, achieving functional zoning. The upper mounting cavity 13 is used to install the gas volatile assembly 3 and the first circuit board 5, while the lower mounting cavity 14 is used to install the main control circuit board 4. This zoning design makes the installation position of each component more clear, facilitating assembly and maintenance. More importantly, it avoids the mixed volatile of various odors. The bottom of the lower mounting cavity 14 can be further provided with a bottom cover 6. During assembly, the main control circuit board 4 can be installed into the shell 1 through the bottom opening of the shell 1, and then sealed by the bottom cover 6.

Specifically, one end of the PTC thermistor 2 extends from the second opening 72 and cooperates with the gas volatilization assembly, and the other end is electrically connected with the first circuit board 5.
[0038] The main control circuit board 4 is provided with an elastic connection terminal 41 on the side close to the first circuit board 5. The first circuit board 5 is provided with an electrode 51 on the side corresponding to the elastic connection terminal 41, and the elastic connection terminal 41 elastically abuts against the electrode 51.

The elastic connection terminal 41 may, for example, be a pogopin pin. The elastic connection terminal 41 and the electrode 51 can both be connection terminals without positive and negative poles, which will not be described in detail here.
