[0048] An embodiment of this utility model provides a locking device, which includes a lock body 100 and a control unit.

[0049] The lock body 100 includes a bolt 110 and a drive member 120, with the drive member 120 being drivenly connected to the bolt 110.

[0050] The control unit is electrically connected to the drive component 120 and can control the drive component 120 to drive the bolt 110 to perform telescopic movement. Users can control the movement state of the bolt 110 by operating the control unit, which is simple, convenient and quick to operate.

[0051] The atomizing component 4 is provided with a locking groove 200, which is matched with the locking tongue 110.

[0052] When the locking tongue 110 extends, it can be inserted into the locking groove 200, so that the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5 are locked together, and the atomizing component 4 is fixed to the housing 5 and cannot be removed.

[0054] It is understood that the locking device provided in the embodiments of this utility model, by setting a locking tongue 110 and a driving member 120, with the driving member 120 drivingly connected to the locking tongue 110, and a control unit electrically connected to the driving member 120 to control the driving member 120 to drive the locking tongue 110 to perform telescopic movement; so that the locking tongue 110 can extend into the locking groove 200 of the atomizing component 4 under the control of the control unit to lock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5, and the locking tongue 110 can retract from the locking groove 200 of the atomizing component 4 under the control of the control unit to unlock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5; thus, during the process of adding perfume or essential oil, it is no longer necessary to manually apply external force to unlock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5, and remove the liquid storage bottle 2 from the housing 5. The operation is simple, convenient and labor-saving, and there is no need to set a clearance groove for manual pressing on the outside of the housing 5, which improves the user experience.

[0055] Specifically, in some embodiments of this utility model, the lock body 100 can be an electromagnetic lock, and the drive component 120 can be an electromagnetic drive component 120, which is electrically connected to the control unit. Using an electromagnetic lock simplifies the structure of the lock device. The bolt 110 extends and retracts under the action of electromagnetic force, which also facilitates the control unit's control of the bolt 110's movement, resulting in high control precision and greater safety and reliability.

[0056] Of course, to save installation space, electromagnetic locks can be miniature electromagnetic locks. Miniature electromagnetic locks are small in size and have many turns, and can generate a sufficient magnetic field with low current.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, the control unit includes a main control chip and a wireless communication module.

[0058] The main control chip is electrically connected to the driver 120, and the wireless communication module is electrically connected to the main control chip.

The main control chip is responsible for receiving instructions and controlling the electromagnetic drive component 120 of the electromagnetic lock to switch on and off, so as to realize the extension and retraction movement of the latch 110.

[0060] The wireless communication module can be WiFi (ESP8266), Bluetooth, or 4G, and can be used for data transmission between the mobile APP and the main control chip. This allows users to remotely open and close the lock via the mobile APP, improving the intelligence of the lock device and further enhancing the convenience, efficiency, and user experience of opening and closing the lock.

[0061] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 5 is provided with a receiving groove 300 and a receiving space 310. The receiving groove 300 can accommodate the atomizing component 4, and the lock body 100 is disposed in the receiving space 310. That is to say, the driving component 120 can be installed in the receiving space 310.

[0062] The housing 5 is also provided with a through hole 320, which connects the receiving groove 300 and the receiving space 310.

[0063] When the atomizing component 4 is installed into the receiving groove 300, the locking groove 200 on the atomizing component 4 is set to correspond to the through hole 320. When the locking tongue 110 extends, it can pass through the through hole 320 and be inserted into the locking groove 200 to lock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5. The design is ingenious, making the structure of the locking device simpler and the opening and closing of the lock more convenient.

[0064] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the through hole 320 is provided on the side wall 51 forming the receiving groove 300, and the axial direction of the through hole 320 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the receiving groove 300, so that the direction of the locking tongue 110 when it is inserted into the locking groove 200 of the atomizing component 4 is also perpendicular to the axial direction of the receiving groove 300. When locking the atomizing component 4, the locking tongue 110 is subjected to greater force, making the locking of the atomizing component 4 more stable.

[0065] In addition, in some embodiments of this utility model, the driving member 120 is in the shape of a cuboid and the accommodating space 310 is also in the shape of a cuboid, which can prevent the driving member 120 from rotating when the lock body 100 locks the atomizing component 4, and further ensure the stability of the lock body 100 in locking the atomizing component 4.

[0066] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of fixing plates 330 are provided on the side wall 51 of the vertically formed receiving groove 300. Each fixing plate 330 is connected end to end to form a cuboid-shaped receiving space 310. The structure of the receiving space 310 used for installing the lock body 100 is simpler, easier to manufacture and saves costs. For example, four fixing plates 330 can be provided.

[0067] To improve the strength of the fixing plate 330 in fixing the lock body 100, and to enhance the fixing ability of the lock body 100, combined with Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, each fixing plate 330 is provided with a reinforcing rib 331, which is arranged towards the accommodating space 310. The reinforcing rib 331 is in interference fit with the driving member 120 in the lock body 100. The interference fit makes the reinforcing rib 331 tightly abut against the outside of the driving member 120, which can prevent the lock body 100 from falling off, and also facilitates the disassembly or replacement of the lock body 100.

[0068] In addition, combined Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, a notch 332 is provided on one of the fixing plates 330, and a rib 130 is provided on the lock body 100. The rib 130 can be provided on the outside of the drive member 120. The rib 130 matches the notch 332. When it is necessary to disassemble the lock body 100, the user can pass through the notch 332 and hold the rib 130 to remove the lock body 100 from the receiving space 310, making disassembly more convenient.

[0069] Combination Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, a diffuser is also provided. The diffuser includes a housing 5, an atomizing component 4, and a locking component. The housing 5 is provided with a receiving groove 300. The atomizing component 4 is detachably installed in the receiving groove 300. The locking component can lock the atomizing component 4 to the housing 5, or unlock the atomizing component 4 to the housing 5. This simplifies the locking or unlocking operation of the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5.

[0070] In addition, in some embodiments of this utility model, the locking component is enclosed in the housing 5 and wirelessly connected to the outside. The locking and unlocking states of the locking component are controlled wirelessly from the outside, making the locking or unlocking operation of the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5 more flexible.

[0071] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the locking component can be the locking device described above, and the diffuser includes the locking device and the diffuser body described above.

[0072] The locking device is located in the diffuser body. For example, the lock body 100 in the locking device can be installed in the receiving space 310 formed by the housing 5.

[0073] It is understood that the diffuser provided in the embodiments of this utility model, due to including the aforementioned locking device, inevitably possesses all the advantages of that device. That is, the diffuser also allows the locking tongue 110, under the control of the control unit, to extend into the locking groove 200 of the atomizing component 4 to lock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5, and the locking tongue 110, under the control of the control unit, to retract from the locking groove 200 of the atomizing component 4 to unlock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5; thus, during the process of adding perfume or essential oil, it is no longer necessary to manually apply external force to unlock the atomizing component 4 and the housing 5, allowing the liquid storage bottle 2 to be removed from the housing 5. The operation is simple, convenient, and labor-saving, and the exterior of the housing 5 no longer needs to be equipped with a manual pressing avoidance groove, improving the user experience.
