Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air handling equipment technology, and more particularly to an air handling equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, users' demands for air conditioning functions have gradually expanded from simple temperature regulation to air quality optimization. Aromatherapy modules, which release natural essential oils (such as lavender and peppermint) to improve indoor odors, relieve stress, promote sleep, or refresh the mind, are widely favored by users.
[0003] Aromatherapy air conditioners in related technologies typically install the aromatherapy module inside the air conditioner. This means that changing the aromatherapy liquid requires disassembling the panel, which is complicated and poses safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides an air handling device to solve the problem in related technologies where air conditioning equipment has an aromatherapy module installed inside the air conditioner, making replacement difficult.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:
[0006] This application provides an air handling device, including an air outlet, an air guide assembly, and an aromatherapy assembly. The air guide assembly is disposed within the air outlet and includes movably mounted air guide blades, each with a mounting portion. The aromatherapy assembly is detachably mounted on the mounting portion and includes an aromatherapy housing with ventilation holes that communicate with the outer side of the air guide blades.
[0007] The air handling device in this embodiment adjusts the airflow direction by rotating the guide vanes of an air guide assembly at the air outlet. By placing the aromatherapy component at the air outlet, the user can easily replace it from the outlet, improving convenience and user experience. Furthermore, as the guide vanes rotate, a portion of the aromatherapy component is positioned within the airflow channels formed by the guide vane support, allowing the fragrance to enter the aromatherapy housing through vents and thus expelling the scent of the fragrance within, facilitating aroma diffusion.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the mounting part includes a magnetic interface containing multiple magnets. The aromatherapy housing is a magnetic shell, and the mounting part and the aromatherapy housing are detachably connected by magnetic attraction.
[0009] The magnetic connector between the aromatherapy diffuser and the air guide vanes makes installation and removal incredibly simple and quick, requiring no tools. This is especially convenient for users who frequently need to replace the diffuser components. The magnetic force provides sufficient connection strength to ensure the diffuser components won't easily detach during operation, while maintaining easy disassembly. Magnetic connections typically don't affect the product's aesthetic design, preserving the overall sleekness and seamless integration of the device. Compared to mechanical snap-fit or threaded connections, magnetic connections reduce physical wear and potential damage, extending the lifespan of the device and its components. The simplified operation and maintenance process enhances the user experience, making the device more user-friendly.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the air guide vanes of the mounting portion are recessed inside, and at least a portion of the aromatherapy housing is embedded within the mounting portion. The mounting portion has a first limiting portion, and the aromatherapy housing has a second limiting portion corresponding to the first limiting portion. The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are interlocked, with the first limiting portion used to restrict the aromatherapy component from moving longitudinally.
[0011] The interlocking of the first and second limiting parts effectively restricts the longitudinal movement of the aromatherapy component, ensuring its stability during operation and preventing displacement due to vibration or airflow. It also provides additional support for the aromatherapy component, preventing it from detaching from the mounting section under external force or accidental impact, thus improving overall safety. The design of the first and second limiting parts ensures that the aromatherapy component automatically aligns to the correct position during installation, avoiding installation errors and improving installation accuracy and efficiency.
[0012] In one possible implementation, one of the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion is a protruding structure. The other of the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion is a groove structure or a through-hole structure.
[0013] Because the protruding structure, once inserted into the groove or through-hole, creates a mechanical self-locking effect, it provides additional fixing force. These first and second limiting parts prevent the aromatherapy component from loosening or falling off during use. This design ensures that the aromatherapy component automatically aligns to the correct position during installation, reducing the possibility of installation errors and improving installation accuracy. Users simply align the protrusion and groove or through-hole and push it in to complete the installation; the operation is simple and requires no additional tools. The unique fit between the protrusion and groove or through-hole prevents users from incorrectly installing the aromatherapy component in the wrong position or orientation. Since the fit between the protrusion and groove or through-hole is mechanical, it reduces movement of the component within the installation area, thereby reducing wear and potential damage. This structure provides multi-directional fixing support, restricting not only longitudinal movement but also, to some extent, lateral and rotational movement, improving overall stability. Users can tactilely sense whether the component is correctly installed during installation, providing good user feedback and enhancing the user experience.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the aromatherapy component includes a vapor core and rotating fan blades, both disposed inside the aromatherapy housing. At least a portion of the airflow passing through the guide vanes enters the aromatherapy housing, driving the rotating fan blades to rotate and accelerate the diffusion of the scent from the vapor core.
[0015] This design effectively increases airflow speed through the rotation of the fan blades, accelerating the diffusion of fragrance substances in the volatile core and allowing the aroma to fill the space more quickly. Utilizing the existing airflow of the air handling unit to drive the fan blades eliminates the need for additional electricity or mechanical drive, improving the overall energy efficiency and economy of the system. The airflow-driven design automates the aromatherapy diffusion process, providing convenience without requiring additional user intervention. Because the fan blades are airflow-driven, they typically operate with low noise, making them suitable for environments requiring quiet, such as bedrooms or offices. Integrating the volatile core and fan blades within the aromatherapy housing results in a compact and space-saving design for the entire aromatherapy assembly.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the aromatherapy housing includes a body and a cover, with the cover being detachably connected to the body.
[0017] This design, with its removable cover, allows users to easily open the diffuser housing to replace the vapor core, replenish the fragrance liquid, or change to a different type or scent of vapor core, extending the lifespan of the diffuser assembly and improving product adaptability. Users can easily remove the cover to clean and maintain the interior of the diffuser housing, ensuring hygiene and optimal performance. Users can replace only the vapor core without replacing the entire diffuser assembly, reducing long-term operating costs. Replacing internal components instead of the entire outer shell also reduces material waste.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the aromatherapy diffuser housing is cylindrical and arranged longitudinally. The mounting portion is an arc-shaped recessed structure that extends longitudinally to the top of the air guide vanes. When the aromatherapy diffuser housing is assembled into the mounting portion, a portion of the housing protrudes beyond the air guide vanes.
[0019] This design, with the aromatherapy housing protruding beyond the air guide vanes, exposes a larger surface area of the housing to the airflow, increasing the diffusion area and efficiency of the fragrance. The cylindrical housing design helps the airflow flow smoothly around it, reducing turbulence and resistance, thereby improving airflow efficiency and fragrance diffusion. The combination of cylindrical and curved recesses provides a streamlined and modern aesthetic, enhancing the product's visual appeal. The curved recesses offer a natural groove, allowing the housing to be securely embedded, reducing the risk of wobbling and falling off. The cylindrical and curved design makes installation and removal of the housing simple and intuitive, allowing users to easily replace and maintain it. The longitudinally extended design fully utilizes the space of the air guide vanes, allowing the aromatherapy components to be integrated without affecting other functions of the device.
[0020] In one possible implementation, the aromatherapy diffuser housing is a disc-shaped structure, and the mounting portion is a perforated structure, with a hollowed-out portion at the bottom of the perforated structure. A first limiting portion is located on the sidewall of the perforated structure. When the aromatherapy diffuser housing is assembled into the mounting portion, a portion of the aromatherapy diffuser housing is located outside the air guide vanes.
[0021] By designing the aromatherapy diffuser housing in a disc shape, the large contact area within the perforated structure, combined with the first limiting part on the side wall, provides excellent stability, preventing the diffuser housing from shaking or falling off during use. The perforated section at the bottom allows airflow to enter and exit through the bottom of the diffuser housing, enhancing airflow circulation and contributing to more even and rapid fragrance diffusion. The relatively flat disc shape occupies less space, making it suitable for integrating aromatherapy functions in limited spaces, especially in compact designs. The perforated structure allows for easy insertion and removal of the diffuser housing, facilitating user replacement and maintenance. The combination of the disc and perforated structures provides a clean appearance, maintaining the overall aesthetics and integrated design of the device. Because part of the diffuser housing's structure is located on the outside of the air guide vanes, the airflow can directly contact the surface of the diffuser housing, enhancing the fragrance diffusion effect.
[0022] In one possible implementation, a drive assembly is driven to the air guide assembly, and the drive assembly drives each air guide blade to rotate. The air guide assembly includes a support plate. The air guide blades are movably connected to the support plate. Multiple air guide blades are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support plate. The drive assembly is driven to both the support plate and the air guide blades, and the drive assembly drives at least a portion of its structure to extend beyond the air outlet, and drives each air guide blade to rotate.
[0023] By installing a support plate, a stable mounting base can be provided for the air guide vanes, ensuring their stability during adjustment and helping to reduce vibration and noise. The modular design of the support plate and air guide vanes reduces installation and maintenance difficulty. Users can replace or adjust individual air guide vanes as needed without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire air guide assembly.
[0024] By setting multiple air guide vanes at intervals, users can more flexibly adjust the angle of each vane to precisely control the direction and intensity of airflow, adapting to different room layouts and usage needs. Multiple air guide vanes can also promote indoor air mixing, improve air quality and comfort, and make the airflow more evenly distributed, avoiding localized areas that are too cold or too hot. By optimizing the airflow path, dead zones and stagnant areas in the air can be reduced, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0025] In one possible implementation, the drive assembly includes a first drive member and a second drive member. The first drive member is driven to rotate the air guide vanes. The second drive member is driven to extend at least a portion of the support plate beyond the air outlet.
[0026] By configuring the drive assembly to include a first drive component and a second drive component, the air guide vanes and the support plate can be controlled independently, which improves the accuracy of airflow regulation. Users can adjust the air delivery angle range of the air guide vanes or the support plate individually as needed. The combination of the first and second drive components provides a wider adjustment range and flexibility to achieve complex airflow patterns to adapt to different room layouts and usage scenarios. By adjusting the angles of the air guide vanes and the support plate separately, a more uniform and efficient airflow distribution can be achieved. Precise airflow control can reduce the operating time and energy consumption of air handling equipment (e.g., air conditioning units) using this air guide assembly, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. Since the first and second drive components are set independently, individual drive components can be replaced or adjusted as needed during later maintenance without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire system, thus reducing maintenance costs.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the air guide blades are made of a semi-transparent material, and light-emitting diodes are embedded within the air guide blades.
[0028] With such a setting, the translucent material combined with the embedded light-emitting diodes can produce a soft light effect, making the air conditioner not only a functional device but also a part of indoor decoration, enhancing the aesthetics and modernity of the space. The light-emitting diodes can provide various color and brightness options for creating different indoor atmospheres, such as warm, romantic or energetic environments, enhancing the user's living experience. The light-emitting diodes can be used to indicate the working status of the air conditioner. For example, different colors or blinking patterns can represent different operating modes, temperature settings or fault warnings, providing intuitive user feedback. The light-emitting diode technology is easy to integrate with other smart home systems to achieve remote control or linkage with other devices, enhancing the smart home experience.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0049] Modern air conditioners have evolved from a single temperature control function to multi-dimensional environmental regulation (humidity, cleanliness, odor). Aromatherapy functions can enhance the user's emotional experience and meet the increasingly diverse needs of home appliances in various scenarios.
[0050] In related technologies, the aromatherapy module is placed inside the air conditioner, and replacing the aromatherapy liquid requires disassembling the panel, which is complicated and poses safety hazards.
[0051] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an air handling device with a detachable aromatherapy component on its air guide vanes, which is convenient to replace and can enhance the user experience.
[0052] The air handling equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0053] This application provides an air handling device, which includes, but is not limited to, air conditioning equipment, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation equipment, heat recovery ventilation systems, air purifiers, and fresh air systems. In this application embodiment, an air conditioning device is used as an example for description, wherein the air conditioning equipment includes, but is not limited to, indoor air conditioning units, floor-standing air conditioners, central air conditioning systems, and ducted air conditioning systems. In this application embodiment, the type of air conditioning equipment is not further limited.
[0054] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a wind guide assembly installed at an air outlet, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the air handling unit 1000 may include an air outlet 200, and an air guide component 100 is provided at the air outlet 200. The air guide component 100 is used to adjust the air delivery angle of the air outlet 200, thereby enabling air to be delivered to different angles, improving the coverage of air conditioning, and thus improving the user experience.
[0055] When the air handling unit 1000 is an air conditioning unit, the air outlet 200 can be adjusted by the air guide component 100, thereby expanding the coverage angle of the air conditioning unit. In other words, it can deliver air to more areas to achieve air temperature regulation. It can also deliver air precisely at more angles, improving the accuracy of air temperature regulation and enhancing the user experience.
[0056] The air guide assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0057] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the extension direction of the support plate is taken as the x-direction, the vertical direction of the mounting surface m is taken as the y-direction, and the longitudinal direction is taken as the z-direction.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the air guide assembly 100 is mounted on the mounting surface m. The air guide assembly 100 may include a support plate 10 and air guide blades 20, with the air guide blades 20 movably connected to the support plate 10. For example, the air guide blades 20 may be detachably connected to the support plate 10. A drive assembly 300 is driven by the air guide assembly 100. Specifically, the drive assembly 300 is driven by both the support plate 10 and the air guide blades 20. The drive assembly 300 is used to drive the support plate 10 to change position relative to the mounting surface m (e.g., move along the y-direction) and to drive the air guide blades 20 to rotate, so that the air guide assembly 100 can adjust the air delivery angle in two dimensions.
[0059] In this embodiment, the air handling unit 1000 drives at least a portion of the structure of the air guide assembly 100 to change its position relative to the mounting surface m via the drive assembly 300. This allows at least a portion of the air guide assembly 100 to be located outside the air outlet 200 of the air handling unit 100. The portion of the air guide assembly 100 located outside the air outlet 200 experiences less obstruction from the sidewall of the air outlet 200, thereby increasing the airflow area of the air guide assembly 100. This allows the air handling unit 1000 to cover a larger airflow area. Compared to related technologies that adjust the airflow angle using a guide plate, this solution can cover a larger airflow area, improve air handling efficiency, and thus save energy.
[0060] The angle that the air guide assembly 100 can adjust when moving relative to the mounting surface m is defined as the first air delivery angle. In other words, by making the air guide assembly 100 movable relative to the mounting surface m, the air guide assembly 100 can adjust the range of the first air delivery angle. By changing the range of the first air delivery angle, users can adjust the air delivery direction of the air guide assembly 100 as needed, thereby meeting different customer needs.
[0061] Furthermore, by providing movable guide vanes 20 on the air guide assembly 100, the air delivery direction of the air guide assembly 100 can be adjusted by changing the angle of the guide vanes 20. The angle of adjustment for the guide vanes 20 is defined as the second air delivery angle. In other words, the guide vanes 20 can change the range of the second air delivery angle. This allows for control of the air delivery angle of the air guide assembly 100 through two-dimensional adjustment, enabling more precise control of the airflow direction. This helps optimize air distribution according to room layout and user needs, adapting to different room shapes and sizes and providing a more uniform temperature distribution. When this air guide assembly 100 is applied to air conditioning equipment, it prevents cold or warm air from blowing directly onto the human body, reducing discomfort and improving user comfort. By optimizing the airflow path, the operating time and energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. This helps reduce electricity consumption and operating costs.
[0062] By adjusting the air outlet angle of the air vent 200 using the air guide component 100, the air outlet 200 can be prevented from blowing air directly onto areas where people are active. In other words, it avoids blowing air onto areas where people are present, preventing discomfort or health problems caused by cold air blowing directly on the body. In addition, by adjusting the air guide component 100, the air outlet angle of the air vent 200 can be continuously changed, which can also prevent the air conditioner from blowing directly in one direction for a long time, thus preventing direct airflow from the air conditioner.
[0063] The structure of the air guide assembly 100 is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0064] In one possible implementation, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air handling unit 1000 may include an aromatherapy component 30 and a drive component 300. The air guide component 100 is disposed within the air outlet 200 and includes a plurality of movably disposed air guide blades 20, at least one of which includes a mounting portion 21. The aromatherapy component 30 is detachably disposed on the mounting portion 21 and includes an aromatherapy housing 31 with vent holes 34 communicating with the outer side of the air guide blades 20. The drive component 300 is drively connected to the air guide component 100 and is used to drive at least a portion of the structure of the air guide component 100 to extend outside the air outlet 200, and to drive each air guide blade 20 to rotate.
[0065] For example, at least one air guide component 100 is provided in the air outlet 200. Specifically, the number of air guide components 100 at the air outlet 200 can be two or more. In this embodiment of the application, the number of air guide components 100 at the air outlet 200 is not further limited. The following description uses one of the air guide components 100 as an example.
[0066] The air guide assembly 100 is provided with a plurality of air guide blades 20, and at least one of the plurality of air guide blades 20 is provided with a mounting part 21, that is, at least one air guide blade 20 on an air guide assembly 100 can be used to install an aromatherapy component 30.
[0067] For example, two, three, four, or more air guide blades 20 on an air guide assembly 100 are provided with mounting portions 21. In the embodiments of this application, the number of air guide blades 20 including mounting portions 21 on the air guide assembly 100 is not limited.
[0068] The air handling device in this embodiment adjusts the airflow direction by providing an air guide component 100 at the air outlet 200. The drive component 300 drives at least a portion of the air guide component 100 to extend beyond the outside of the air outlet 200. This reduces the area of the air guide component 100 obstructed by the sidewall of the air outlet 200, thereby increasing the airflow area and allowing the air handling device to cover a larger area. Compared to related technologies that adjust the airflow angle using a guide plate, this solution can cover a larger airflow area, improve air handling efficiency, and thus save energy.
[0069] By placing the aromatherapy component 30 at the air outlet 20, it can be conveniently replaced by the user through the air outlet 200, improving the ease of replacement and enhancing the user experience. The through-holes in the aromatherapy housing 31 facilitate airflow, enhancing circulation and promoting more even and rapid fragrance diffusion. Furthermore, as the air outlet 20 rotates, a portion of the aromatherapy component 30 is positioned within the airflow channels formed between adjacent air outlets 20, entering the aromatherapy housing 31 through the vent 34 and expelling the fragrance and other scents within, further promoting aroma diffusion.
[0070] The following explanation will take one of the guide vanes 20, which has an installation part 21, as an example.
[0071] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 21 may include a magnetic interface 23, which contains a plurality of magnets. The aromatherapy housing 31 is a magnetic housing, and the mounting part 21 and the aromatherapy housing 31 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction.
[0072] For example, the magnetic interface 23 refers to an interface with magnetism. For instance, multiple magnets are laid out flat to form the magnetic interface 23, or multiple magnets are arranged in a ring to form the magnetic interface 23. In this embodiment, the shape of the magnetic interface 23 is not further limited.
[0073] For example, the magnetic interface 23 can be embedded inside the mounting portion 21, and when the aromatherapy housing 31 is assembled to the mounting portion 21, a portion of the structure of the aromatherapy housing 31 is located within the magnetic interface 23. The magnetic interface 23 has an attractive force on the aromatherapy housing 31.
[0074] The magnetic interface 23 connects the aromatherapy component 30 to the air guide vane 20, making installation and disassembly very simple and quick, requiring no tools. This is especially convenient for users who need to frequently replace the aromatherapy component 30. The magnetic force provides sufficient connection strength to ensure that the aromatherapy component 30 will not easily fall off during device operation, while maintaining easy disassembly. Magnetic connections generally do not affect the product's appearance design, maintaining the overall aesthetics and integration of the device. Compared to mechanical snap-fit or threaded connections, magnetic connections reduce physical wear and potential damage risks, extending the lifespan of the device and components. The simplified operation and maintenance process enhances the user experience, making the device more user-friendly.
[0075] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the mounting portion 21 is recessed inside the guide vane 20, and at least a portion of the aromatherapy housing 31 is embedded in the mounting portion 21. The mounting portion 21 is provided with a first limiting portion 22, and the aromatherapy housing 31 is provided with a second limiting portion 315 corresponding to the first limiting portion 22. The first limiting portion 22 and the second limiting portion 315 are inserted into each other, and the first limiting portion 22 is used to restrict the movement of the aromatherapy assembly 30 in the longitudinal direction.
[0076] The insertion and engagement of the first limiting part 22 and the second limiting part 315 effectively restricts the movement of the aromatherapy component 30 in the longitudinal direction, ensuring that the aromatherapy component 30 remains stable during device operation and will not shift due to vibration or airflow. It also provides additional fixing support for the aromatherapy component 30, preventing it from detaching from the mounting part 21 when subjected to external force or accidental impact, thus improving overall safety. The design of the first limiting part 22 and the second limiting part 315 ensures that the aromatherapy component 30 automatically aligns to the correct position during installation, avoiding installation errors and improving installation accuracy and efficiency.
[0077] In one possible implementation, one of the first limiting portion 22 and the second limiting portion 315 is a protruding structure. The other of the first limiting portion 22 and the second limiting portion 315 is a groove structure or a through-hole structure.
[0078] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting part 315 is a protruding structure, and the first limiting part 22 is a through-hole structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the second limiting part 315 can be a through-hole structure, and the first limiting part 22 can be a protruding structure. Alternatively, the second limiting part 315 can be a protruding structure, and the first limiting part 22 can be a groove structure, etc. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first limiting part 22 and the second limiting part 315 is not further limited.
[0079] Because the protruding structure, when inserted into the groove or through hole, creates a mechanical self-locking effect, it provides additional fixing force. This first limiting part 22 and the second limiting part 315 prevent the aromatherapy component 30 from loosening or falling off during use. This design ensures that the aromatherapy component 30 automatically aligns to the correct position during installation, reducing the possibility of installation errors and improving installation accuracy. Users only need to align the protrusion and groove or through hole and simply push it in to complete the installation; the operation is simple and requires no additional tools. The unique fit between the protrusion and the groove or through hole prevents users from incorrectly installing the aromatherapy component 30 in the wrong position or orientation. Since the fit between the protrusion and the groove or through hole is mechanical, it reduces movement of the component within the mounting part 21, thereby reducing wear and potential damage. This structure provides multi-directional fixing support, restricting not only longitudinal movement but also, to some extent, lateral and rotational movement, improving overall stability. Users can perceive whether the component is correctly installed through touch during installation, providing good user feedback and enhancing the user experience.
[0080] See Figure 5 As shown, the aromatherapy housing 31 may include a body 311 and a cover 312, with the cover 312 detachably connected to the body 311. Exemplarily, the cover 312 and the body 311 can be detachably connected via hinges, threads, plug-in connections, snap-fit connections, or other similar methods. In this embodiment, the connection method between the cover 312 and the body 311 is not further limited.
[0081] This design, with its removable cover 312, allows users to easily open the aromatherapy housing 31 to replace the vapor core 32, replenish the aromatherapy liquid, or replace it with a different type or scent of vapor core 32. This extends the lifespan of the aromatherapy assembly 30 and improves the product's adaptability. Users can easily remove the cover 312 to clean and maintain the interior of the aromatherapy housing 31, ensuring hygiene and good working condition. Users can replace the vapor core 32 individually without replacing the entire aromatherapy assembly 30, reducing long-term operating costs. Replacing internal components instead of the entire outer shell reduces material waste.
[0082] See also Figure 5 As shown, the aromatherapy housing 31 can be a cylindrical structure, and the aromatherapy housing 31 is arranged along the longitudinal direction (z direction). The mounting part 21 is an arc-shaped recessed structure, and the mounting part 21 extends along the longitudinal direction to the top of the air guide vane 20. When the aromatherapy housing 31 is assembled into the mounting part 21, part of the structure of the aromatherapy housing 31 protrudes from the air guide vane 20.
[0083] This design causes a portion of the aromatherapy housing 31 to protrude beyond the air guide vane 20, exposing more of its surface area to the airflow and increasing the diffusion area and efficiency of the fragrance. The cylindrical design of the aromatherapy housing 31 helps the airflow flow smoothly around it, reducing turbulence and resistance, thereby improving airflow efficiency and fragrance diffusion. The combination of cylindrical and curved recesses provides a streamlined and modern aesthetic, enhancing the product's visual appeal. The curved recess structure provides a natural groove, allowing the aromatherapy housing 31 to be securely embedded, reducing the risk of wobbling and falling off. The cylindrical and curved design makes the installation and removal of the aromatherapy housing 31 simple and intuitive, allowing users to easily replace and maintain it. The longitudinally extended design fully utilizes the space of the air guide vane 20, enabling the aromatherapy assembly 30 to be integrated without affecting other functions of the device.
[0084] In other embodiments, the aromatherapy housing 31 may also have other structures. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the aromatherapy housing 31 can be a disc-shaped structure, and the mounting part 21 has a perforated structure, with a hollowed-out part 24 at the bottom of the perforated structure. The first limiting part 22 is located on the side wall of the perforated structure. When the aromatherapy housing 31 is assembled into the mounting part 21, a portion of the aromatherapy housing 31 is located outside the air guide vane 20.
[0085] By designing the aromatherapy housing 31 as a disc shape, the large contact area within the perforated structure, combined with the first limiting part 22 on the side wall, provides excellent stability, preventing the aromatherapy housing 31 from shaking or falling off during use. The perforated part at the bottom allows airflow to enter and exit through the bottom of the aromatherapy housing 31, enhancing airflow circulation and contributing to more even and rapid fragrance diffusion. The disc shape is relatively flat and occupies less space, making it suitable for integrating aromatherapy functions in limited spaces, especially in compact designs. The perforated structure design allows the aromatherapy housing 31 to be easily inserted and removed, facilitating user replacement and maintenance. The combination of the disc shape and perforated structure provides a neat appearance, maintaining the overall aesthetics and integrated design of the device. Since part of the aromatherapy housing 31's structure is located outside the air guide vane 20, the airflow can directly contact the surface of the aromatherapy housing 31, enhancing the fragrance diffusion effect.
[0086] Of course, in other embodiments, the aromatherapy housing 31 can be configured with other structures, and the corresponding mounting part 21 can be a structure corresponding to the aromatherapy housing 31. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the aromatherapy housing 31 and the mounting part 21 is not further limited.
[0087] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7As shown, the aromatherapy assembly 30 may include an evaporating core 32 and a rotating fan blade 33, both of which are disposed inside the aromatherapy housing 31. At least a portion of the airflow passing through the guide vane 20 enters the aromatherapy housing 31 to drive the rotating fan blade 33 to rotate, thereby accelerating the diffusion of the scent from the evaporating core 32.
[0088] For example, the aromatherapy housing 31 has a receiving cavity 3111 within its body. The receiving cavity 3111 may include a first receiving cavity 3112 and a second receiving cavity 3113 arranged adjacent to each other along the direction from the cover to the body. The first receiving cavity 3112 is positioned away from the cover 312 relative to the second receiving cavity 3113. A partition is provided between the first receiving cavity 3112 and the second receiving cavity 3113. A rotating fan blade 33 can be disposed within the first receiving cavity 3112, and an evaporation core 32 can be disposed within the second receiving cavity 3113. This allows for convenient replacement of the evaporation core 32 after opening the cover 312, without affecting the rotating fan blade 33.
[0089] Of course, in some embodiments, the main body 311 may only have a receiving cavity 3111, and the rotating fan blade 33 may be disposed inside the cover 312. In the embodiments of this application, the placement of the rotating fan blade 33 is not further limited.
[0090] For example, the rotating fan blade 33 can be a vortex fan blade, wherein the rotating fan blade 33 can be spirally arranged around the rotation center, so that the airflow can be introduced into the interior of the rotating fan blade 33, thereby driving the rotating fan blade 33 to rotate and reducing the driving force of the rotating fan blade 33.
[0091] This configuration allows the rotating fan blades 33 to effectively increase the airflow speed, thereby accelerating the diffusion of fragrance substances in the volatile core 32 and filling the space with fragrance more quickly. Utilizing the existing airflow of the air handling unit to drive the rotating fan blades 33 eliminates the need for additional electricity or mechanical drive, improving the overall energy efficiency and economy of the system. The airflow-driven design automates the aromatherapy diffusion process, requiring no additional user intervention and providing convenience. Because the rotating fan blades 33 are airflow-driven, they typically operate with low noise, making them suitable for environments requiring quiet, such as bedrooms or offices. Integrating the volatile core 32 and rotating fan blades 33 within the aromatherapy housing 31 results in a compact and space-saving design for the entire aromatherapy assembly 30.
[0092] In some embodiments, the air guide blade 20 can be a metal blade such as a stainless steel blade or an aluminum alloy blade. Of course, in other embodiments, the air guide blade 20 can also be a non-metallic blade such as ABS plastic. This can improve the corrosion resistance of the air guide blade 20 to aromatherapy materials and extend its service life.
[0093] Of course, in some embodiments, a coating can also be applied to the surface of the air guide blade 20. For example, a Teflon (PTFE) coating or a TiO2 coating can be applied to the surface of the air guide blade 20, which can reduce the adhesion and residue of the fragrance material, reduce the corrosive effect of the fragrance residue on the air guide blade 20, and extend the service life of the air guide blade 20.
[0094] The following describes the driver component 300.
[0095] See Figure 8 As shown, the air guiding assembly 100 may include a support plate 10. Air guiding blades 20 are movably connected to the support plate 10. Exemplarily, the air guiding blades 20 extend along the z-direction. There are multiple air guiding blades 20, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support plate 10.
[0096] It should be noted that the extending direction of the support plate 10 is the direction of the side or surface with the largest dimension of the support plate 10. In some embodiments, the extending direction of the support plate 10 may be approximately parallel to the extending direction of the air guide assembly 100.
[0097] For example, the support plate 10 can be a plate-like structure used to support the air guide vanes 20 and facilitate connection with structures such as the drive assembly 300. In some embodiments, the support plate 10 can be provided with multiple ventilation holes 34 to facilitate air delivery. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the support plate 10 is not further limited.
[0098] By setting up the support plate 10, a stable mounting base can be provided for the air guide blades 20, ensuring that the air guide blades 20 remain stable during adjustment, which helps to reduce vibration and noise. The modular design of the support plate 10 and the air guide blades 20 reduces the difficulty of installation and subsequent maintenance. Users can replace or adjust individual air guide blades 20 as needed without making large-scale adjustments to the entire air guide assembly 100.
[0099] By setting multiple air guide vanes 20 at intervals, users can more flexibly adjust the angle of each vane to precisely control the direction and intensity of airflow to adapt to different room layouts and usage needs. Multiple air guide vanes 20 can also promote indoor air mixing, improve air quality and comfort, make airflow more evenly distributed, avoid local areas being too cold or too hot, and reduce dead zones and stagnant areas by optimizing the airflow path, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0100] It should be noted that the number of air guide blades 20 can be determined based on the dimensions of the bearing plate 10 in the extension direction and the arrangement density of the air guide blades 20. Therefore, the number of air guide blades 20 is not limited in this embodiment.
[0101] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the drive assembly 300 can be connected to the guide vane 20 via a transmission connection. The drive assembly 300 is used to drive the position of the guide vane 20 to change, for example, to drive the guide vane 20 to rotate and / or translate. In this embodiment, the guide vane 20 is rotated so that the guide vane 20 can swing, thereby allowing the guide vane 20 to adjust the range of the second air delivery angle.
[0102] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the extension direction of the guide vane 20 is nearly perpendicular to both the x and y directions, and is represented by the z direction in the figure. Of course, in other embodiments, the extension direction of the guide vane 20 may be set at a certain angle to the z direction. In this embodiment, the setting direction of the guide vane 20 is not further limited.
[0103] In some embodiments, the guide vane 20 may function the same as a blade in the prior art, that is, it may be able to swing left and right in the extension direction of the guide assembly 100. In other embodiments, the guide vane 20 may also be able to swing in multiple directions, for example, the guide vane 20 may be able to swing in the x-direction, or in the z-direction, or in a direction that forms a certain angle with the z-direction, etc.
[0104] By connecting the drive assembly 300 to the air guide vane 20 and controlling the air guide vane 20 to swing in the extension direction of the air guide assembly 100, the air guide assembly 100 can cover a wider area, which helps to achieve a more uniform air or temperature distribution throughout the room and avoid uneven heating and cooling.
[0105] See also Figure 8 As shown, the drive assembly 300 may include a first drive member 301 and a second drive member 302. The first drive member 301 is connected to the guide vane 20 in a transmission manner, and the first drive member 301 is used to drive the guide vane 20 to change position. For example, the first drive member 301 is used to drive the guide vane 20 to change position relative to the support plate 10. For example, the first drive member 301 is used to drive the guide vane 20 to translate and / or rotate relative to the support plate 10, so that the guide vane 20 can swing.
[0106] The second driving member 302 is connected to the support plate 10 in a transmission manner. The second driving member 302 is used to drive at least a portion of the structure of the support plate 10 to move relative to the mounting surface m (e.g., move in the y direction away from the mounting surface m).
[0107] Exemplarily, the first driving member 301 is drivingly connected to the air guiding blade 20, and the first driving member 301 drives the air guiding blade 20 to rotate. With this arrangement, the driving difficulty of the air guiding blade 20 can be reduced, the structure of the first driving member 301 can be simplified, and the movement amplitude of the air guiding blade 20 can be increased, improving the oscillating air effect.
[0108] By setting the driving assembly 300 as the first driving member 301 and the second driving member 302, the air guiding blade 20 and the carrier plate 10 can be controlled independently, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of air flow regulation. The user can adjust the air supply angle range of the air guiding blade 20 or the carrier plate 10 separately according to needs. The combination of the first driving member 301 and the second driving member 302 provides a larger adjustment range and flexibility to achieve complex air flow patterns to adapt to different room layouts and usage scenarios. By adjusting the angles of the air guiding blade 20 and the carrier plate 10 respectively, a more uniform and effective air flow distribution can be achieved. Precise air flow control can reduce the operating time and energy consumption of the air handling equipment (e.g., air conditioning equipment) applying the air guiding assembly 100, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency. Since the first driving member 301 and the second driving member 302 are independently arranged, individual driving members can be replaced or adjusted according to needs during later maintenance without large-scale adjustment of the entire system, thus reducing the maintenance cost.
[0109] Of course, in other embodiments, the driving assembly 300 can also be of other structures. In the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the driving assembly 300 is not further limited.
[0110] In a possible implementation, the air guiding blade 20 can be made of a translucent material, and light emitting diodes (not shown in the figure) are embedded in the air guiding blade 20. Of course, light emitting diodes can also be provided in the carrier plate, or in the driving assembly, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, the installation position of the light emitting diodes is not further limited.
[0111] With this arrangement, the translucent material combined with the embedded light emitting diodes can produce a soft light effect, making the air conditioner not only a functional device but also a part of indoor decoration, enhancing the beauty and modern sense of the space. The light emitting diodes can provide a variety of color and brightness options for creating different indoor atmospheres, such as warm, romantic or energetic environments, enhancing the user's living experience. The light emitting diodes can be used to indicate the working state of the air conditioner. For example, different colors or blinking patterns can represent different operating modes, temperature settings or fault warnings, providing intuitive user feedback. The light emitting diode technology is easy to integrate with other smart home systems to achieve remote control or linkage with other devices, enhancing the smart home experience.
