[0038] Unless otherwise specified or defined, the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this document are for distinguishing names only and do not represent a specific number or order.

[0039] Unless otherwise stated or defined, the term “and / or” as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0040] It should be noted that when a component is considered "fixed" to another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "mounted" on another component, it can be directly mounted on the other component or there can be an intervening component; when a component is considered "placed" on another component, it can be directly placed on the other component or there can be an intervening component.

[0041] This utility model proposes an installation structure, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the device includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell 25, and a support frame 2. The support frame 2 includes a support plate 23 and two sets of limiting members 21. The support plate 23 is installed inside the outer shell 1, and the two sets of limiting members 21 are installed on the support plate 23 and are located near the outer edge of the support plate 23. The inner shell 25 is installed on the support plate 23 and is located near the middle of the support plate 23. The inner shell 25 is located inside the outer shell 1, and the first end and the second end of the inner shell 25 are located at the upper and lower ends of the support plate 23, respectively. A first receiving groove 211 is formed between the two sets of limiting members 21 at the first end of the inner shell 25. The second end of the inner shell 25 has an opening, and a second receiving groove 251 is formed inside the inner shell 25, which communicates with the opening.

[0042] Specifically, the support plate 23 is fixed inside the outer shell 1. The inner end of the support plate 23 is used to support or fix the inner shell 25, and the outer end of the support plate 23 is used to support or fix the limiting member 21. The second receiving groove 251 of the inner shell 25 is used to place the atomizer 3, and the first receiving groove 211 on the support plate 23 is used to place the air pump 4. When the air pump 4 is placed in the first receiving groove 211, the outer wall of the air pump 4 abuts against the two sets of limiting members 21. The two sets of limiting members 21 restrict the movement of the air pump 4. When the bottom of the outer shell 1 is sealed, the air pump 4 is restricted to the first receiving groove 211 and cannot move, thereby improving the stability of the air pump 4 inside the outer shell 1. During processing, the limiting part 21, inner shell 25, and support plate 23 can be made into an integrated structure using a mold. Simply fix the support plate 23 inside the outer shell 1, and then place the air pump 4 and atomizer 3 into the first receiving groove 211 and the second receiving groove 251 respectively. Then seal the upper and lower ends of the outer shell 1 to complete the assembly. The specific steps are: fix the support plate 23 inside the outer shell 1, place the air pump 4 and atomizer 3 into the first receiving groove 211 and the second receiving groove 251, and then seal the upper and lower ends of the outer shell 1. In actual assembly, only two steps are required, and there is no need to use screws to fix the air pump 4, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, by supporting or fixing the inner shell 25 and the limiting member 21 with the support plate 23 respectively, the stability of the limiting member 21 and the inner shell 25 within the outer shell 1 can be improved. By positioning the first end and the second end of the inner shell 25 on the upper and lower ends of the support plate 23 respectively, the first receiving groove 211 and the second receiving groove 251 can be determined as the upper and lower ends of the inner shell 25 respectively. Therefore, after installation, the air pump 4 and the atomizer 3 are arranged vertically, reducing the radial dimension of the odor control system 100 and its footprint, making the odor control system 100 suitable for placement in the vehicle, such as in the center armrest.

[0044] In some embodiments, the outer shell 1 has a positioning block 101, and the support plate 23 abuts against the positioning block 101; the support frame 2 also includes a first connecting column 22 and a second connecting column 24, the first connecting column 22 and the second connecting column 24 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the support plate 23; the mounting structure also includes an upper shell 12 and a lower shell 11, the upper shell 12 is disposed at the upper end of the outer shell 1, the lower shell 11 is disposed at the lower end of the outer shell 1, the first connecting column 22 is connected to the lower shell 11, and the second connecting column 24 is connected to the upper shell 12. Specifically, the installation position of the support plate 23 is restricted by the positioning block 101, and the support plate 23 abuts against the positioning block 101. There is no need to fix the position of the support plate 23 in the outer shell 1 with screws, which improves its installation convenience. Moreover, the upper and lower ends of the support plate 23 also have a first connecting post 22 and a second connecting post 24. The first connecting post 22 is connected to the lower shell 11, and the second connecting post 24 is connected to the upper shell 12. The upper shell 12 and the lower shell 11 respectively seal the upper and lower ends of the outer shell 1, so that the air pump 4 abuts against the limiting member 21 and the lower shell 11 in the first receiving groove 211, restricting the position of the air pump 4 in the first receiving groove 211 and improving the stability of the air pump 4 in the outer shell 1.

[0045] Preferably, one set of limiting members 21 has a third receiving groove 212, which is disposed opposite to the first receiving groove 211 and is located on one side of the inner shell 25. Specifically, by utilizing the space between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 25, a third receiving groove 212 is provided on one set of limiting members 21, which is located on one side of the inner shell 25, thereby maximizing the use of space within the outer shell 1. The third receiving groove 212 is used to place the battery 6, which provides electrical power to operate the air pump 4.

[0046] Preferably, each set of limiting members 21 includes two limiting posts 213, each limiting post 213 is bent, and the first end of each limiting post 213 has an L-shaped groove, the openings of the multiple L-shaped grooves all face the inner shell 25; specifically, the support plate 23 has four limiting posts 213, each limiting post 213 is bent, and the L-shaped grooves on each limiting post 213 all face the inner shell 25. When the air pump 4 is placed in the first receiving groove 211, the outer wall of the air pump 4 is located in the L-shaped groove and abuts against the inner wall of the limiting post 213, further improving the stability of the air pump 4 in the first receiving groove 211.

[0047] In addition, in one set of limiting members 21, a third receiving groove 212 is formed between the second ends of the two limiting posts 213. The space at the second end of the limiting posts 213 is used to form the third receiving groove 212 between the second ends of the two limiting posts 213. The third receiving groove 212 is used to place the battery 6, and the left and right ends of the battery 6 abut against the inner wall of the limiting post 213 respectively.

[0048] In some embodiments, the number of positioning blocks 101 is four, and the positioning blocks 101 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer shell 1. The support plate 23 is circular in shape, and the outer edge of the support plate 23 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The upper end or lower end of the support plate 23 abuts against the positioning blocks 101. Specifically, by setting four positioning blocks 101 on the outer shell 1, the number of connection points between the support plate 23 and the outer shell 1 is increased, further improving the stability of the support plate 23 on the outer shell 1. During installation, the support plate 23 is pushed into the outer shell 1 so that the support plate 23 abuts against the positioning blocks 101, and then the upper shell 12 and the lower shell 11 are fixed by the first connecting post 22 and the second connecting post 24.

[0049] Preferably, the mounting structure further includes fasteners. The first connecting post 22 and the second connecting post 24 both have threaded holes. The upper shell 12 and the lower shell 11 both have through holes 121 corresponding to the threaded holes. One end of the fastener passes through the through hole 121, and one end of the fastener is connected to the threaded hole. The second end of the fastener abuts against the upper shell 12 or the lower shell 11. Specifically, the upper shell 12 is fixed to the second connecting post 24, and the lower shell 11 is fixed to the first connecting post 22, using fasteners. When the support plate 23 is fixed to the lower shell 11 via the first connecting post 22, or to the upper shell 12 via the second connecting post 24, the upper shell 12 or the lower shell 11 is fixed to the outer shell 1, and the support plate 23 will be unable to slide within the outer shell 1, thus completely fixing the support plate 23 within the outer shell 1.

[0050] This utility model also proposes an odor control system 100, including an air pump 4, an atomizer 3, an air tube 41, and the installation structure described above. The air pump 4 is installed in the first receiving groove 211 of the installation structure, and the atomizer 3 is installed in the second receiving groove 251 of the installation structure. The atomizer 3 is located above the air pump 4, and the atomizer 3 is connected to the air pump 4 through the air tube 41. Specifically, after the air pump 4 is powered on, it generates high-pressure gas, which is delivered to the atomizer 3 through the air tube 41. The high-pressure gas disperses the essential oil in the atomizer 3, thereby improving the surrounding environment and controlling odors. Preferably, the positions of the air tube 41 and the battery 6 can be arranged opposite each other to make the best use of the space inside the outer casing 1.

[0051] Preferably, the odor control system 100 further includes a control circuit board 5 and a battery 6. The control circuit board 5 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 2, and the battery 6 is mounted in the third receiving slot 212 of the mounting structure. The control circuit board 5 is electrically connected to both the battery 6 and the air pump 4. Specifically, the battery 6 is fixed in the third receiving slot 212. After receiving an electrical signal, the control circuit board 5 activates the battery 6 to supply power to the air pump 4 and starts the air pump 4 to operate. The control circuit board 5 has a charging connector 51, which is located on the outer wall of the housing 1 and near the upper end of the housing 1. When the odor control system 100 is placed at the central armrest, its charging connector 51 is at the upper end of the housing 1, making it convenient to connect the charging connector 51 to a USB data cable to charge the battery 6.

[0052] Preferably, the odor control system 100 also includes an operation panel 13. Both the operation panel 13 and the control circuit board 5 have a first port 122, which allows for the detachable installation of the atomizer 3 and the inner shell 25. The operation panel 13 is mounted outside the upper shell 12, which has multiple second ports 123 corresponding to operation buttons on the operation panel 13. Specifically, the first ports 122 on the operation panel 13 and the control circuit board 5 facilitate the detachable installation of the atomizer 3 and the inner shell 25. When the essential oil in the atomizer 3 is used up, the atomizer 3 can be removed from the inner shell 25, and new essential oil can be added, allowing the odor control system 100 to be recycled. The upper shell 12 has multiple second openings 123 through which the LED lights and operation buttons of the control circuit board 5 pass. After the operation panel 13 is fixed to the upper shell 12, the operation buttons of the operation panel 13 correspond to the operation keys to realize the operation of the control circuit board 5. The lights on the control circuit board 5 can also be displayed on the operation panel 13 to indicate the working status of the odor control system 100.

[0053] Preferably, the atomizer 3 includes an atomizing bottle 31, an atomizing cap 33, and an atomizing core 32. The atomizing bottle 31 is installed in the second receiving groove 251, the atomizing cap 33 is threadedly connected to the atomizing bottle 31, and the atomizing core 32 is installed inside the atomizing cap 33, with an atomizing position. The atomizing cap 33 has an outer cap 35 and a labyrinthine inner cap 34. The outer cap 35 is installed on the labyrinthine inner cap 34, and the outer cap 35 has a nozzle 351. The labyrinthine inner cap 34 has a labyrinthine channel 341, the first end of which communicates with the atomizing position, and the second end of which communicates with the nozzle 351. Specifically, when high-pressure gas is delivered to the first end of the atomizing core 32, the atomizing position is under negative pressure, causing the second end of the atomizing core 32 to draw in the essential oil in the atomizing bottle 31. The high-pressure gas and the essential oil meet at the atomizing position, the essential oil is blown away by the high-pressure gas, and a particulate spray is formed at the atomizing position. The particulate spray passes through the labyrinth channel 341. Large particulate spray is blocked by the inner wall of the labyrinth channel 341, and some particulate spray adheres to the inner wall of the labyrinth channel 341. The particulate spray with stronger power flows out from the nozzle 351 and diffuses into the surrounding environment.
