[0022] This utility model provides a smart device that automatically switches fragrances according to the user's schedule, and its specific implementation is described in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 Please provide a detailed explanation. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the smart device includes a base 1, a fragrance chamber 2, a control module 3, a slide rail 4, a push rod structure 5, and a flow guide plate 6 as its main components. The base 1 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device. The control module 3 is fixedly mounted on one side of its top, while the other side is connected to the slide rail 4 via a support plate. The fragrance chamber 2 is installed between the slide rails 4. The top and bottom of the fragrance chamber 2 are open, and a switching component is installed inside to achieve the rotation and switching of the fragrance compartment areas. The control module 3 is connected to the fragrance chamber 2 via the push rod structure 5, which drives the fragrance chamber 2 to move back and forth on the slide rail 4. An inclined flow guide plate 6 is also fixedly connected to the base 1. The flow guide plate 6 is located at the bottom of the fragrance chamber 2 and is used to guide the flow direction of the fragrance and improve the release efficiency.

[0023] The specific structure of the switching component is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, its core component is a rotating disc 7 housed within the fragrance chamber 2. The disc 7 has multiple evenly arranged fragrance slots 10 for holding different fragrance materials. The switching assembly also includes two arc-shaped baffles 8 and two inclined panels 9. The arc-shaped baffles 8 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the disc 7 and fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the fragrance chamber 2. The inclined panels 9 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the disc 7 and fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the fragrance chamber 2. The heights of the arc-shaped baffles 8 and the inclined panels 9 are both greater than the height of the axis of the disc 7, and together with the surface of the disc 7, they form a closed fragrance release chamber. This fragrance release chamber is composed of the arc-shaped baffles 8, the inclined panels 9, the top surface of the disc 7, and the inner wall of the fragrance chamber 2, ensuring that the fragrance does not leak or become disturbed during release.

[0024] Both sides of the fragrance chamber 2 are equipped with main rollers 11, which cooperate with the slide rail 4 to achieve smooth movement of the fragrance chamber 2. The main rollers 11 are equipped with gear structures with directional rotation function. This gear structure converts the linear motion of the fragrance chamber 2 into rotational motion, which is then transmitted to the turntable 7 via a reducer 12. The reducer 12 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the fragrance chamber 2, with its input end connected to the main rollers 11 and its output end connected to the turntable 7. When the fragrance chamber 2 reciprocates on the slide rail 4, the rotational motion of the main rollers 11 is reduced by the reducer 12 and drives the turntable 7 to rotate slowly, thereby achieving the switching of the fragrance chamber area 10. This design not only fully utilizes the reciprocating motion characteristics of the fragrance chamber 2 but also achieves automated switching of the fragrance chamber area through simple mechanical transmission, significantly improving the functionality of the equipment and the user experience.

[0025] To further optimize device performance, a secondary chamber 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the fragrance chamber 2, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Secondary rollers 14 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the secondary compartment 13. These rollers 14 cooperate with the slide rail 4 to ensure the stability of the fragrance compartment 2 during movement. The secondary compartment 13, secondary rollers 14, main rollers 11, and turntable 7 are all located in the same plane. This layout effectively reduces the overall size of the device while improving the coordination between components. A rectangular opening 15 is provided at the junction of the fragrance compartment 2 and the secondary compartment 13. A vertically mounted guide frame 16 is fixedly connected inside the secondary compartment 13. A horizontally mounted column 17 is slidably connected to the guide frame 16. A strip plate 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the column 17, and a cleaning brush 19 is mounted on the strip plate 18. A double-end frame 20 is connected to the other end. Pins 21 are fixedly connected to both ends of the double-end frame 20. Rotary wheels 22, which are driven by the secondary rollers 14, are provided on both sides of the secondary compartment 13. Elliptical grooves 23 are provided on the rotary wheels 22 that cooperate with the pins 21. As the fragrance chamber 2 reciprocates, the rotational motion of the auxiliary roller 14 is transmitted to the pin 21 via the rotating wheel 22, which in turn drives the column 17 and the strip plate 18 to reciprocate, keeping the cleaning brush 19 in contact with the surface of the turntable 7, thereby achieving the cleaning function of the turntable 7 surface. This design not only prevents fragrance residue from accumulating and affecting the performance of the equipment, but also extends the service life of the equipment.

[0026] An elastic partition 24 is fixedly connected to the column 17, and the elastic partition 24 is sealed to the inner wall of the auxiliary chamber 13, thus isolating the internal space of the auxiliary chamber 13 into a sealed chamber. The double-end frame 20 and the rotating wheel 22 are both located in the sealed chamber. This sealing design effectively prevents external dust or other impurities from entering the interior of the auxiliary chamber 13, ensuring the reliability of equipment operation. Air passages 25 are provided in both the strip plate 18 and the column 17. Multiple air holes 26 are provided on the side of the strip plate 18 near the cleaning brush 19. An air outlet pipe 27 connected to the air passage 25 is fixedly connected to the double-end frame 20. An air inlet pipe 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the auxiliary chamber 13. One-way valves are provided on both the air inlet pipe 28 and the air outlet pipe 27. A dust cover 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the air inlet pipe 28. When the column 17 moves back and forth, the gas in the air passage 25 circulates through the action of the one-way valve, thereby providing a certain airflow assistance to the cleaning brush 19 and further improving the cleaning effect.

[0027] A housing 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the fragrance chamber 2. A sensor module 31 is installed inside the housing 30 to detect user schedule information and environmental parameters. A transparent window 32 is fixedly installed at the junction of the housing 30 and the fragrance chamber 2, allowing for observation of the internal working status of the fragrance chamber 2. Electromagnetic clutches 33 are fixedly connected to both sides of the auxiliary chamber 13. These clutches connect the auxiliary roller 14 to the rotating wheel 22. When the sensor module 31 detects a change in the user's schedule, the control module 3 adjusts the fragrance release mode according to a preset program and controls the transmission relationship between the auxiliary roller 14 and the rotating wheel 22 via the electromagnetic clutches 33, thereby achieving precise switching between the areas of the fragrance chamber 10.

[0028] The fragrance chamber 2 has an air outlet door 34 on one side that can be opened or closed. The opening and closing state of the air outlet door 34 is controlled by the control module 3. When fragrance needs to be released, the control module 3 opens the air outlet door 34, allowing the fragrance to flow out of the fragrance release chamber; when fragrance is not needed, the control module 3 closes the air outlet door 34 to prevent fragrance waste. This design not only improves the utilization rate of fragrance but also enhances the intelligence level of the device.

[0029] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the user inputs schedule information through the sensor module 31, the control module 3 generates a corresponding fragrance release plan based on the schedule. For example, during working hours, the device may choose to release an invigorating fragrance; during rest periods, it may choose to release a soothing and relaxing fragrance. The control module 3 drives the fragrance chamber 2 to reciprocate on the slide rail 4 via the push rod structure 5. The movement of the fragrance chamber 2 not only releases the fragrance but also drives the turntable 7 to rotate slowly through the gear structure on the main roller 11 and the reducer 12, thereby completing the switching of the fragrance slot 10 area. At the same time, the cleaning brush 19 in the auxiliary chamber 13 cleans the surface of the turntable 7 to ensure long-term stable operation of the device. When the fragrance in the fragrance slot 10 is exhausted, the turntable 7 automatically switches to the next slot filled with fragrance, thus achieving seamless fragrance release. This design not only reduces the frequency of fragrance replenishment but also simplifies the replenishment operation, significantly improving the user experience.

[0030] In summary, this utility model, through ingenious mechanical structure design and intelligent control technology, successfully solves the problems of limited functionality and cumbersome operation of traditional fragrance devices, providing users with an efficient, convenient, and personalized fragrance solution.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
