Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aroma diffuser equipment, and in particular to an aroma diffuser equipment with a replaceable outer shell. Background Technology

[0002] A diffuser is a device that transforms liquids into extremely fine mist or aerosol droplets. This transformation process makes the liquid easier to inhale, disperse evenly in the air, or adhere to surfaces. Therefore, diffusers have wide applications in various fields, including medical, household, beauty, and industrial applications.

[0003] Aroma diffusers are typically placed in easily visible locations such as desktops or car dashboards. As people's living standards continue to improve, users are increasingly pursuing individuality and fashion. Merchants need to not only improve the structure to enhance the performance of the equipment, but also customize the appearance of the diffusers to improve the user experience and meet users' demands for product individuality and fashion trends.

[0004] Existing aromatherapy diffusers have a fixed appearance, which does not provide a good user experience for customers. Although some solutions have emerged to modify the outer shell of the diffuser, changing the appearance of existing diffusers requires replacing the entire shell, which is costly. Alternatively, they may have drawbacks such as poor connection stability between the shell and the atomizing body, cumbersome operation, and poor replacement effect. Utility Model Content

[0035] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other component, or there may be an intervening component present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0038] refer to Figures 1-8 This utility model provides a diffuser with a replaceable outer shell, including an atomizing inner shell and an outer shell 4. The atomizing inner shell includes a lower shell 2 and an upper shell 1 that docks with the lower shell. A clamping gap 3 is formed at the docking point of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The outer shell 4 includes a shell cover 41 and an extension 43 that protrudes inward relative to the shell cover. The extension 43 partially passes through the clamping gap 3 and extends into the atomizing inner shell. The width of the end of the extension 43 is greater than the width of the clamping gap 3, so that the end of the extension 43 is confined within the atomizing inner shell by the clamping gap 3. The shell cover 41 is located outside the atomizing inner shell and forms a receiving space. The atomizing inner shell is located within the receiving space of the shell cover 41. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are detachably connected. The clamping gap can be used to fix the extension 43 of the outer shell. The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are detachably connected, so that the lower port of the upper shell 1 and the upper port of the lower shell 2 can be close to or far from each other. This is used to change the width of the clamping gap 3, so that the extension 43 and the clamping gap 3 are in a clamping or non-clamping state, thereby realizing the installation or removal of the outer shell on the housing. This invention features an outer shell 4 fitted over an inner atomizing shell. The upper shell 1 and lower shell 2, constituting the inner atomizing shell, have a clamping gap 3 for securing the outer shell. The upper shell 1 and lower shell 2 are detachably connected, allowing the width of the clamping gap 3 to be changed through disassembly. This allows the extension 43 of the outer shell 4 to be clamped or unclamped with the clamping gap 3, enabling the installation or removal of the outer shell 4 from the inner atomizing shell and facilitating its replacement. Users can choose an outer shell that matches their aesthetic preferences to cover the inner atomizing shell, achieving low-cost replacement of the outer shell 4 to change its appearance and meet individual user needs. Furthermore, this clamping structure ensures a stable and secure connection between the outer shell 4 and the inner atomizing shell, preventing loosening. This clamping structure prevents the atomizer components from becoming loose due to the replacement of the outer shell 4. Moreover, the outer shell 4 over the inner atomizing shell provides a wear-resistant and impact-resistant protective layer, improving the durability of the diffuser. When the outer shell becomes worn, scratched, or damaged, only the outer shell needs to be replaced, achieving low-cost replacement.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the outer shell 4 are connected, and the accommodating space is adapted to the shape of the inner shell of the atomizer. The upper end of the outer shell 4 is connected, so that the atomizer body 8 can be removed from the upper end of the outer shell 4, which facilitates the replacement of the liquid storage bottle. The lower end of the outer shell is connected, so that the lower shell 2 can be disassembled and removed from the lower end of the outer shell 4.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the upper shell 1 includes a panel with a downwardly folding plate 5 on its outer side. The extension 43 of the outer shell 4 is inclined from top to bottom, and an upward-opening receiving groove 6 is formed between the inclined surface and the end of the extension. The end of the folding plate 5 is aligned and inserted into the receiving groove 6. The alignment and insertion of the end of the folding plate 5 into the receiving groove 6 makes the connection between the upper shell 1 and the outer shell 4 more stable, avoiding displacement between parts that could lead to structural loosening.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the upper shell 1 includes a panel, the panel being recessed to form a mounting groove 7 for accommodating the atomizing body, and a receiving chamber is formed in the lower shell 2. The mounting groove 7 is inserted into the receiving chamber formed in the lower shell 2. The atomizing body 8 includes a liquid storage bottle and an atomizing nozzle, the atomizing nozzle being connected to the liquid storage bottle. The upper end of the outer shell 4 has an opening 10 through which the groove of the mounting groove 7 can be exposed. The opening exposes the mist outlet of the atomizing head of the atomizing body, making it easy to remove and replace the atomizing body formed by the liquid storage bottle and the atomizing nozzle.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a bracket 11 is provided inside the atomizing inner shell. The middle end of the bracket 11 is provided with a first mounting position 12 for accommodating the atomizing air pump and a second mounting position 13 for accommodating the power supply. The bracket 11 is inserted into the lower shell 2.

[0043] The upper shell 1 is detachably connected to the upper end of the bracket 11, and the lower shell 2 is detachably connected to the lower end of the bracket 11. In this way, by removing one of the upper shell 1 or the lower shell 2, the width of the clamping gap 3 can be changed, or the clamping gap 3 can be made to be in a non-clamping state, so that the outer shell 4 can be removed for replacement.

[0044] Alternatively, the upper shell 1 is fixed to the upper end of the bracket 11, and the lower shell 2 is detachably connected to the lower end of the bracket 11. In this way, by removing the lower shell 2, the width of the clamping gap 3 can be changed, or the clamping gap 3 can be made into a non-clamping state, thereby allowing the outer shell 4 to be removed for replacement.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the extension is provided with an upper baffle 431 and a lower baffle 432, making the cross-section of the end of the extension T-shaped. The upper baffle 431 faces the upper shell 1, and the lower baffle 432 faces the lower shell 2. The inner wall of the lower shell 2 is provided with a stepped surface 14 forming a stepped groove, and the stepped surface 14 is adapted to the lower baffle 432. The T-shaped cross-section of the end of the extension ensures that the portion of the end of the extension 43 inside the atomizing inner shell fits tightly against the inner wall of the atomizing inner shell, making the clamping gap 3 more stable in fixing the outer shell 4.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a base 15 is provided at the bottom of the lower shell 2, and the outer shell 4 is located directly above the base 15. A first gap 16 exists between the bottom end of the outer shell 4 and the top surface of the base 15. A second gap 17 exists between the outer side wall of the atomizing inner shell and the inner side wall of the outer shell 4. The first gap 16 and the second gap 17 are connected and form a noise reduction space. The sound generated by the atomizing head and air pump during operation will be propagated and reduced in the noise reduction space, making the aroma diffuser quieter during operation.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the outer edge of the base 15 is flush with the outer surface of the housing 4.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the atomizing body 8 is higher than the top surface of the upper shell 1, and the atomizing body 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove 7, thus forming a certain connection between the atomizing body 8 and the mounting groove 7. The top surface of the atomizing body 8 is flush with the top surface of the outer shell 4. The top surface of the atomizing nozzle is flush with the top surface of the outer shell 4, so that the outer shell 4 can protect the atomizing nozzle and prevent wear and damage.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the outer shell 4 is made of a transparent material, and the lower shell 2 has a notch 18 for mounting a display screen 19. The transparent material of the outer shell 4 allows the display screen 19 to be clearly seen. Users can freely change the transparent material of the outer shell 4 according to their preference. Alternatively, the outer shell 4 can be made of an opaque material. Users can choose according to their own preferences. Optionally, the outer surface of the display screen 19 is flush with the outer surface of the lower shell, resulting in a smooth surface.

[0050] Preferably, the base and the bottom of the lower shell are aligned and connected to form a base cavity, and the base cavity is provided with a charging interface, which is electrically connected to a power source. Optionally, the charging interface is a Type-C interface; optionally, the upper shell and the bracket are connected by a first fastener, and the lower shell and the bracket are connected by a second fastener, both the first and second fasteners being screws. Preferably, the bottom surface of the upper shell is provided with an alignment strip, and the corresponding bracket is provided with a locking slot, the positions of the strip and the locking slot are aligned, facilitating positioning and installation during assembly.

[0051] The aroma diffuser mainly consists of an atomizing body, an air pump, a power supply, and a housing. The air pump and power supply are located inside the housing. Existing housing designs are relatively monotonous and cannot be replaced according to user needs, thus failing to meet personalized requirements. In this application, an air pump and a power supply are installed between the lower housing 2 and the support 11. The air pump is connected to the atomizing nozzle, and the power supply is located on the support, with the air pump electrically connected to the power supply.
