Light and shadow effects are a very popular type of added effect, often used in conjunction with various functional home appliances.
[0003] Current lighting effects primarily involve integrating light sources into the appliance's structure. The resulting lighting effects are determined by the color and flicker frequency of the light source itself, resulting in relatively simple effects. Some products, in order to achieve more complex lighting effects, incorporate multiple light sources within the appliance's structure, creating a superimposed effect. This requires reserving more installation space within the appliance's structure, making it more complex and increasing its size and weight. Furthermore, with an increase in the number of light sources, heat dissipation becomes a new challenge. Utility Model Content

[0035] See Figures 1 to 2The light and shadow structure 300 of this invention includes a light-transmitting cover 310, a light source 320, a lens 330, and a diffusion unit 340. The light source 320, lens 330, and diffusion unit 340 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top and placed inside the light-transmitting cover 310. When the light and shadow structure 300 of this invention is in operation, the light beam emitted by the light source 320 is directed upwards, magnified by the lens 330, enters the diffusion unit 340, diffuses, and is projected into the environment through the light-transmitting cover 310.
[0036] The light-transmitting cover 310 described in this utility model refers to a cover made of a material with a certain light transmittance.
[0037] In some embodiments, the light and shadow structure 300 further includes a driving device 350 for driving the diffusion unit 340 to rotate in order to produce dynamic light and shadow effects.
[0038] In one embodiment, the driving device 350 is provided with a rotating shaft 351. The rotating shaft 351 passes through a first mounting hole 324 on the light source 320 and is inserted into or passes through a second mounting hole 342 on the diffusion unit 340, and is fixedly connected to the diffusion unit 340. When the light and shadow structure 300 is in operation, the driving device 350 drives the rotating shaft 351 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 351 drives the diffusion unit 340 to rotate, so that the lens group 341 on the diffusion unit 340 passes over the lens 330, so that the diffused light beam presents a dynamic light and shadow effect.
[0039] See Figure 3 The light source 320 of the light and shadow structure 300 includes a power supply 323, a first lamp body 321, and a second lamp body 322. The power supply 323 provides energy to the first lamp body 321 and the second lamp body 322. The first lamp body 321 and the second lamp body 322 are arranged on the same plane. The first lamp body 321 is an RGB lamp that integrates the three primary colors into an image. The second lamp body 322 is an enhanced LED lamp, which enhances the atmosphere and increases the illumination range. When the light and shadow structure 300 is in operation, part of the light emitted by the second lamp body 322 shines onto the step 311 of the light-transmitting cover 310, diffuses into the environment, increases the illumination range of the light, and the vapor diffuses to the surroundings and overlaps with the light to form a glowing vapor, which enhances the atmosphere.
[0040] In some embodiments, the light source 320 is provided with at least one heat dissipation hole 325 to help the heat inside the light and shadow structure 300 be discharged into the first receiving cavity 221.
[0041] In some embodiments, the diffusion unit 340 of the light and shadow structure 300 includes a substrate 343 and a lens group 341, wherein the lens group 341 is fixedly arranged on the substrate 343.
[0042] See Figure 4 In some preferred embodiments, the substrate 343 is made of a light-transmitting material; the lens group 341 is composed of lenses of different sizes and shapes arranged on the substrate 343.
[0043] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the atomizing device provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned light and shadow structure 300, as well as the bottom cover 100, the body 200, and the top cover 500. The body 200 includes a first opening 211, a second opening 212, and a third opening 213; wherein the first opening 211 is adapted to the bottom cover 100; the second opening 212 is also the opening of the first receiving cavity 221, and the light and shadow structure 300 is mounted on the body 200 through the second opening 212; the third opening 213 is adapted to the top cover 500; the body 200 and the bottom cover 100 form the first receiving cavity 221; the body 200 and the top cover 500 form the second receiving cavity 222; The top cover 500 is provided with a fourth opening 510. When the body 200 and the top cover 500 are in an assembled state, the fourth opening 510 corresponds to the second opening 212. The body 200 is provided with an atomizing unit 230, which is located at the bottom of the second receiving cavity 222 and is used to turn the liquid placed in the second receiving cavity 222 into an atomized state; the atomizing unit 230 includes, but is not limited to, an ultrasonic oscillator.
[0044] The atomizing device further includes an air inlet 110, a fan 120, and an air duct 240; the air inlet 110, the fan 120, the air duct 240, the second accommodating cavity 222, and the fourth opening 510 form a circulation path for the airflow in the environment and the airflow in the atomizing device of this utility model.
[0045] In some embodiments, the body 200 is a one-piece molded structure. This prevents liquid from seeping into the joints or material gaps, reducing the loss of essential oils and other ingredients, and also preventing their corrosion of the body 200.
[0046] In some embodiments, the air duct 240 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 222, with the lower opening of the air duct 240 located in the first receiving cavity 221 and the upper opening located in the second receiving cavity 222; the air duct 240 connects the first receiving cavity 221 and the second receiving cavity 222, and delivers the airflow output by the fan 120 to the second receiving cavity 222.
[0047] In some embodiments, the air inlet 110 can be located on the bottom cover 100 or on the body 200. As long as it enables airflow from the environment to enter the first receiving cavity 221 through the air inlet 110, its various positions and shapes are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0048] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes a control unit 600 for controlling the operation of the fan 120, the atomizing unit 230, and the light and shadow structure 300. The specific configuration of the control unit 600, such as a PCB power board, a PCB control board, a potentiometer, an adjustment structure, a control panel, etc., and the positional arrangement of these structures, can be handled according to existing technical means. The specific embodiments of this utility model and the examples shown in the accompanying drawings are only some examples and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0049] In some embodiments, the light and shadow structure 300 of the atomizing device is installed in the second opening 212 and can be exposed from the fourth opening 510 to the top cover 500.
[0050] In some embodiments, the second opening 212 is located inside the second receiving cavity 222, that is, the position of the second opening 212 is lower than that of the third opening 213, which reduces the obstruction to the mixed airflow. When the light and shadow structure 300 is installed on the second opening 212, the overall height of the atomizing device can be reduced, leaving more space for the light and shadow structure 300 and the airflow.
[0051] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes a baffle 400 located above the atomizing unit 230 for blocking and disrupting the gas generated by the atomizing unit 230, so as to make it mix more evenly with the airflow entering the second receiving cavity 222 from the air duct 240.
[0052] The baffle 400 can be disposed on the side wall of the second receiving cavity 222 or on the outer surface of the light and shadow structure 300. When the light and shadow structure 300 is installed on the second opening 212, the baffle 400 can be positioned above the atomizing unit 230.
[0053] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes a flow guide ring 520 disposed within the fourth opening 510, which is used to change the diffusion direction of the mixed airflow output from the fourth opening 510, so that it is better dispersed into the environment, and at the same time reduces the impact of the mixed airflow on the light and shadow structure 300.
[0054] In some embodiments, the atomizing device further includes an inner support 700, which is installed in the first receiving cavity 221 below the second receiving cavity 222 and serves as a support. The adapter 711 on the inner support 700 connects the air outlet of the fan 120 and the opening of the air duct 240 located in the first receiving cavity 221, allowing the airflow delivered by the fan 120 to smoothly enter the air duct 240. The first mounting port 712 in this invention is designed to accommodate the position of the atomizing unit 230, and its position is determined by the position of the atomizing unit 230.
[0055] The atomizing device of this utility model can also be equipped with auxiliary devices such as a loudspeaker 130.
[0056] See Figures 7 to 8 When operating the atomizing device of this utility model, firstly, add the liquid to be atomized, such as water or aromatherapy essential oil, into the second receiving cavity 222; then, the control unit 600 controls the atomizing unit 230 and the fan 120 to start operating; wherein, the operation of the atomizing unit 230 atomizes the liquid placed in the second receiving cavity 222 into gas, and when the gas rises, it is dispersed and floats in the second receiving cavity 222 under the action of the baffle 400; the airflow in the environment enters the first receiving cavity 221 through the air inlet 110, is turned into an airflow with a certain speed by the fan 120, enters the air duct 240 through the adapter 711, and then enters the second receiving cavity 222 through the air duct 240, mixes with the gas generated by the atomizing unit 230, and diffuses into the environment through the fourth opening 510, blending with the light and shadow also projected from the fourth opening 510 to form a very beautiful smoke and light fusion effect.
[0057] The light and shadow structure 300 of this invention sets multiple lamps with different functions on the same plane, resulting in a more optimized structure. This invention uses a lens 330 and a diffusion unit 340 to convert the light emitted by the light source 320 into dynamic light and shadow, which is then projected into the environment through a light-transmitting cover 310, creating an aesthetically pleasing light and shadow effect.
[0058] The atomizing device of this utility model, based on the unique design of the first receiving cavity 221, mounts the light and shadow structure 300 on the body 200 through the second opening 212 of the first receiving cavity 221. The lower end of the light and shadow structure 300 opens into the first receiving cavity 221, providing sufficient space for heat dissipation. Furthermore, the airflow circulation path of the atomizing device starts within the first receiving cavity 221, which can carry the heat emitted by the light and shadow structure 300 into the airflow circulation path. This helps to drive the airflow and also maintains the internal temperature of the airflow to a certain extent, especially in seasons with lower temperatures, reducing the condensation and sedimentation of the atomized gas.
[0059] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
