[0039] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] Reference Figure 1-8 This embodiment discloses a snap-on aromatherapy diffuser and a filter incorporating the snap-on aromatherapy diffuser. The filter includes a filter element 1, a fastener 2, an aromatherapy box 3, and a snap-on component 4. The filter element 1 includes at least two side strips 11 and folded filter paper 12 disposed between the two side strips 11. The folds of the folded filter paper 12 are perpendicular to the side strips 11, and the folded filter paper 12 has several fold peaks. A receiving groove 121 is formed between at least two adjacent fold peaks, and the receiving groove 121 and the two side strips 11 form an upward-opening receiving space. The fastener 2 is disposed within the receiving space and fixed to the side strips 11. The fastener 2 has an upward-protruding first locking block 201, and one side of the first locking block 201 forms an upward-opening first locking groove 202. The aromatherapy box 3 is housed within the receiving space. The aromatherapy box 3 has an aromatherapy placement cavity for holding aromatherapy products. A fastener 31 is integrally formed at one end of the aromatherapy box 3. The fastener 31 has a downward-protruding second locking block 301, and one side of the second locking block 301 forms a downward-opening second locking groove 302. The first locking block 201 and the second locking groove 302 are vertically engaged, and the second locking block 301 and the first locking groove 202 are also vertically engaged. A locking fastener 4 is slidably fitted onto the fastener base 2, and the locking fastener 4 can be slidably fitted onto the fastener 31 to prevent the fastener 31 from detaching upwards from the fastener base 2.
[0042] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 121 can be U-shaped, such as... Figure 1 As shown; of course, in other embodiments, the receiving groove 121 can also be V-shaped. This utility model does not limit the shape of the receiving groove 121, as long as the distance between two adjacent folded peaks is widened.
[0043] This solution cleverly designs the structure of the folded filter paper 12, using folding to form a receiving groove 121 that can accommodate the aromatherapy box 3. This allows the aromatherapy box 3 to be embedded in the folded filter paper 12 to form a whole, which not only facilitates the volatilization of the aroma but also allows for better matching and installation in the filter assembly cavity. No additional modifications to the assembly structure are required, reducing production costs and facilitating product promotion and use. In addition, this solution utilizes the vertical insertion and engagement between the slot and the block, allowing the user to insert the aromatherapy box 3 into the receiving space from above the filter element 1. This achieves accurate alignment between the buckle 2 and the aromatherapy box 3, ensuring a lock-on connection along their long sides. Furthermore, by designing a locking fastener 4 that slides onto the buckle 2, the user can push the locking fastener 4 towards the slot and block insertion position, causing the fastener 31 of the aromatherapy box 3 to be surrounded vertically by the locking fastener 4. This locks the buckle 2 and the aromatherapy box 3 vertically, ensuring stable installation of the aromatherapy box 3 within the filter element 1. It also facilitates aromatherapy replacement, improving ease of use and stability.
[0044] As a preferred option, refer to Figure 4-5 The fastener 2 includes an unlocking part 21 and a locking part 22, with the fastener sliding between the unlocking part 21 and the locking part 22. A positioning step 23 is provided between the locking part 22 and the unlocking part 21, and a positioning groove 24 is formed at the position of the locking part 22. When the fastener 4 slides into place, it is located in the positioning groove 24, and the fastener 4 is at least partially embedded in the positioning groove 24. A deformation gap is left between the fastener 4 and the surface of the locking part 22. By designing the positioning step 23 and the positioning groove 24, it is ensured that the fastener 4 can be accurately positioned during sliding, thereby more reliably fixing the aromatherapy box 3 and preventing it from loosening during use.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the positioning steps 23 and positioning grooves 24 are formed on the left and right sides of the upper locking part 22, and the corresponding sides of the locking fastener 4 are embedded in the positioning grooves 24. By designing the positioning grooves 24 on the left and right sides of the upper locking part 22, when the locking fastener 4 is subjected to external force pressing up and down, a certain lateral elastic deformation is generated by the deformation gap between the locking fastener 4 and the upper and lower end faces of the upper locking part 22, thus making it more flexible to install and disassemble the aromatherapy box 3. In addition, by cleverly designing deformation gaps between the left and right sides of the locking fastener 4 and the surface of the positioning grooves 24, when the filter is installed upside down and subjected to vertical vibration, the deformation gaps between the left and right sides of the locking fastener 4 and the positioning grooves 24 produce vertical elastic deformation, thereby making the left and right sides of the locking fastener 4 more deeply embedded in the positioning grooves 24, thus making the fastening firmness higher in the more vibrating environment, and further ensuring the installation stability of the aromatherapy box 3 during use.
[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the unlocking part 21 is provided with inclined guide slopes 25 on both sides, which extend to connect with the positioning step 23, so that the width of the unlocking part 21 gradually increases towards the positioning step 23. The design of the guide slopes 25 helps the locking element 4 to transition more smoothly from the unlocking part 21 to the locking part 22 during sliding, improving the convenience of operation and reducing resistance during installation and disassembly.
[0047] As a preferred embodiment, limiting protrusions 26 are provided on the left and right sides of the end of the buckle 2, and positioning grooves 24 are formed between the limiting protrusions 26 and the positioning steps 23. By adopting the above design, the limiting protrusions 26 can prevent the locking element 4 from disengaging from the buckle 2, and the locking element is not easily lost during the assembly process or when changing the aromatherapy. In addition, when the locking element 4 is pushed into place, it falls into the positioning groove 24. At this time, one side of the locking element 4 is close to the positioning steps 23 and the other side is close to the limiting protrusions 26, so that the locking element 4 and the aromatherapy box 3 are separated by the limiting protrusions 26, leaving a gap on the upper surface, so that the user can push the locking element 4 to unlock it by using the gap.
[0048] As a preferred option, refer to Figure 6The aromatherapy placement cavity has a side mounting opening 34 on its lateral side for horizontal placement of the aromatherapy diffuser. An upper ventilation hole 32 is provided on the side of the aromatherapy placement cavity facing the bottom of the receiving groove 121, and a lower ventilation hole 33 is provided on the side of the aromatherapy placement cavity facing away from the bottom of the receiving groove 121. The diameter of both the upper and lower ventilation holes 32 and 33 is smaller than the size of the aromatherapy diffuser. In this embodiment, the upper ventilation hole 32 can be a perforated hole with a logo, and the lower ventilation hole 33 can be a long, narrow hole. The side mounting opening 34 makes the installation and replacement of the aromatherapy diffuser more convenient, while the upper and lower ventilation holes 32 and 33 ensure that the fragrance of the diffuser can be evenly diffused into the surrounding environment, improving the aromatherapy effect. Furthermore, an auxiliary mounting opening 35 is provided on the side of the aromatherapy placement cavity facing the receiving groove 121. The auxiliary mounting opening 35 is connected to the side mounting opening 34 and has the same width. The auxiliary installation port 35 makes it easier to insert the aromatherapy diffuser into the diffuser box from the side, especially for diffusers with dimensions similar to the diffuser placement cavity, further improving installation convenience. In other embodiments, a bottom installation port can be provided on the side of the diffuser placement cavity facing the receiving groove 121 to replace the side installation port. In this structure, the aromatherapy diffuser can be placed in the receiving groove 121 of the folded filter paper 12 first, then the diffuser box 3 can be fastened inside, and finally the locking fastener 4 can be used to lock it. The bottom installation port design provides another way to install the aromatherapy diffuser. In this embodiment, the side installation port 34 solution is preferred. The bottom of the diffuser box 3 is designed as a support structure with ventilation holes, which acts as a separator between the aromatherapy diffuser and the folded filter paper 12, thereby avoiding direct contact between the aromatherapy diffuser and the folded filter paper 12 and the resulting permeation and diffusion reaction, thus better improving the filtration effect and service life of the filter.
[0049] In this embodiment, the side strips 11 on both sides of the receiving groove 121 of the filter element 1 are attached with fasteners 2. The two ends of the aroma box 3 are respectively connected to the fasteners 2 on both sides. The double-sided locking structure can improve the installation stability of the aroma box 3 in the filter element and can be applied to any of the following situations: the aroma box 3 is placed flat, upside down, placed on the side of the air outlet, or placed on the side of the air inlet.
[0050] In this embodiment, the buckle 2 and the edge strip 11 can be fixed together by adhesive. Adhesive fixing is a simple and reliable method that ensures a firm connection between the buckle 2 and the edge strip 11. It is also easy to operate during the production process, reducing production costs.
[0051] Example 2
[0052] This embodiment discloses a snap-lock aromatherapy diffuser and a filter incorporating the snap-lock aromatherapy diffuser. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that, referring to… Figure 9In Example 2, the receiving groove 121 of the filter element 1 has a side strip 11 on one side attached to the fastener 2. One side of the aromatherapy box 3 is connected to the corresponding fastener 2, while the other side of the aromatherapy box 3 is directly attached to the corresponding side strip 11. This single-sided locking structure of Example 2 is more suitable for the aromatherapy box 3 to be placed flat or on the side of the air intake. The single-sided locking structure of the aromatherapy component in Example 2 has a lower manufacturing cost and is easier to install.
[0053] The technical solution provided by this utility model has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
