Along with the improvement of living standard of people, more and more people pay attention to the quality of life, and the requirement on air comfort degree is higher and higher. The dust and dirt accumulated in the air conditioner filter is easy to generate peculiar smell, or the peculiar smell problem exists in the environment, or the user has the requirement of indoor environment with fragrance. Therefore, the perfume device is usually installed in an air conditioner to release an air flow with perfume, so as to overcome the above-mentioned air odor problem, or to improve comfort and meet user requirements. However, in the prior art, when the odor in the air is removed or when the user does not need the fragrance function, the step of closing the fragrance device is complicated, and the fragrance device cannot be closed in time. When the fragrance function is needed, the fragrance device is difficult to open in time, so that the fragrance releasing speed of the fragrance device is low. In addition, there is a device for opening and closing the perfume device through an electromagnetic valve in the prior art, however, the structure of the battery valve is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and the electromagnetic valve is used for opening and closing the perfume device, which easily causes the problems of high damage rate, high maintenance difficulty, high cost, large volume and the like of the perfume device. Meanwhile, other ways of switching on and off the perfume device in the prior art have the defect more or less. In summary, the perfume device in the prior art has a problem that the opening procedure and the closing procedure are complicated.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 3, fig. 4, and fig. 5, the present invention provides a perfume device 10, where the perfume device 10 includes a casing 11, a blower, and a switching device, the casing 11 is provided with an air inlet 11a and an air outlet 11b, the casing 11 is provided with a perfume groove 12, and the perfume groove 12 is used for communicating with the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11 b; the fan is arranged inside the shell 11 and is used for sucking outside air flow, flowing into the shell 11 from the air inlet 11a, penetrating through the spice groove 12 and flowing out from the air outlet 11 b; the switching device is arranged on the shell 11 and comprises a shielding piece 131 and a driving assembly, wherein the driving assembly is used for driving the shielding piece 131 to conduct the perfume tank 12, the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11 b; the drive assembly is also used to drive the shutter 131 to isolate the fragrance cartridge 12 from the inlet 11a and/or outlet 11 b.

Specifically, in the fragrance device 10, the outside air flow is sucked by the fan, enters the housing 11 through the air inlet 11a, passes through the fragrance groove 12, is provided with fragrance due to the solid fragrance passing through the fragrance groove 12, and flows out of the housing 11 through the air outlet 11 b. Thereby playing the role of increasing the environmental aroma or eliminating the peculiar smell. When the fragrance in the area is too strong or the user does not need the fragrance, namely, the air flow entering the housing 11 from the air inlet 11a does not need to pass through the fragrance groove 12 and directly flows out from the air outlet 11 b. In particular, the present application proposes various solutions to prevent the air flow through the fragrance cartridge 12. Firstly, the spice groove 12 is isolated from the air inlet 11 a. At this time, the air flowing from the air inlet 11a cannot enter the perfume container 12. Secondly, the perfume groove 12 is isolated from the air outlet 11b, and at the moment, external air flow cannot flow into the air outlet 11b from the perfume groove, so that the air flow with fragrance is released. Thirdly, the spice groove 12 is isolated from the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11 b. This is a preferred solution which provides the best separation of the fragrance and air flow through the fragrance channel 12, and the fragrance channel 12 is completely isolated from the environment, making it difficult for air flow to enter the fragrance channel 12 from either direction. And the perfume groove 12 is separated from the air inlet 11a or the perfume groove 12 is separated from the air outlet 11 b. There may be some air flow into the fragrance channel 12 from the outlet 11b, the inlet 11 a. This condition, although still a portion of the external air flow, will pass through the air inlet 11a and enter the fragrance cartridge 12. However, this portion of the airflow is less than the total airflow through the fragrance assembly 10. The air flow through the fragrance channel 12 is scented primarily by having molecules of the fragrance compounds that travel through the fragrance in the fragrance channel 12 and diffuse through the air to scent them. If only a small portion of the air stream enters the fragrance tank 12, the air stream will have a small total amount of fragrance molecules after being merged with the rest of the air stream, and the fragrance molecules will move irregularly in the air due to the diffusion phenomenon of the fragrance molecules in the air. Finally, the concentration of the aroma molecules in the air is very low, and the odor in the air is hardly influenced. Thus, in addition to the preferred solution of closing the fragrance device 10 by isolating the fragrance cartridge 12 from both the inlet opening 11a and the outlet opening 11b, both the solution of isolating the fragrance cartridge 12 from the inlet opening 11a and the solution of isolating the fragrance cartridge 12 from the outlet opening 11b also have the effect of closing the fragrance device 10.

Three solutions are proposed to prevent the air flow through the fragrance cartridge 12. The spice groove 12 is isolated from the air inlet 11 a; isolating the spice groove 12 from the air outlet 11 b; the spice groove 12 is isolated from both the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11 b. All three of the above solutions can function to block the airflow through the fragrance channel 12. The driving assembly drives the shielding member 131 to move, and the fragrance groove 12 is isolated from both the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11 b. When the odor needs to be eliminated or the fragrance groove 12 needs to be opened again when the fragrance in the sensing area is too light, the driving component can also be used for driving the fragrance groove 12 to be communicated with the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11b, so that the external air flow passes through the fragrance groove 12 again to release the fragrance.

Referring to fig. 2 to 5, in an alternative embodiment, a first air hole 12a and a second air hole 12b are disposed at the bottom of the perfume container 12, wherein the first air hole 12a is communicated with the air inlet 11a, the second air hole 12b is communicated with the air outlet 11b, when the perfume container 12, the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11b are communicated, the shielding member 131 opens the first air hole 12a and the second air hole 12b, and when the perfume container 12 is isolated from the air inlet 11a and/or the air outlet 11b, the first air hole 12a and/or the second air hole 12b are shielded.

Thus, the external air flow entering from the air inlet 11a enters the perfume groove 12 through the first air hole 12a, and then flows out of the perfume groove 12 through the second air hole 12b. In an alternative embodiment, the perfume container 12 is provided with a plurality of first air holes 12a and a plurality of second air holes 12b, and the plurality of first air holes 12a and the plurality of second air holes 12b are respectively arranged in an array, an array or a matrix, which means a rectangular array, and are arranged side by side in an array form, so that the perfume container has the advantage of easy processing, and meanwhile, the arrangement is favorable for sufficient air flow exchange, so that the air flow passing through the perfume container 12 has sufficient fragrance to meet the requirements of users. When the spice tank 12 and/or the air outlet 11b are isolated, the shielding member 131 shields all the first air holes 12a, all the second air holes 12b, or all the first air holes 12a and the second air holes 12b. So that the air flow cannot pass smoothly through the fragrance channel 12, which has the effect of shutting off the fragrance means 10. The shielding member 131 can shield all the first air holes 12a and the second air holes 12b, so that the sealing performance is better when the perfume device 10 needs to be closed.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in an alternative embodiment, the driving assembly is configured to drive the shielding member 131 away from the perfume container 12, so as to enable the air inlet 11a, the first air hole 12a, the second air hole 12b and the air outlet 11b to be communicated; the driving assembly is also used for driving the shielding piece 131 to be close to the perfume groove 12, so that the shielding piece 131 shields the first air hole 12a and/or the second air hole 12b. Specifically, the perfume container 12 has an open state and a closed state, and when the perfume container is in the open state, the first air hole 12a and the second air hole 12b are open, and when the perfume container is in the closed state, the first air hole 12a and/or the second air hole 12b are/is blocked. Thus, the shutter 131 controls the opening and closing of the fragrance groove 12 by moving away from and close to the first air hole 12a and/or the second air hole 12b, and the shutter 131 has corresponding close and far positions. After the driving assembly drives the shielding member 131 to move to the distant position, and the perfume groove 12 is opened, since the perfume device 10 needs to continuously emit the perfume, the driving assembly needs to continuously drive the shielding member 131 so that the shielding member 131 is maintained at the position distant from the first air hole 12a and the second air hole 12b. The drive assembly drives the shutter 131 from the remote position back to the near position until the fragrance channel 12 is closed again when the fragrance is too strong or when the user does not require a fragrance. Furthermore, it is arranged that the opening and closing of the fragrance groove 12 is achieved by the distancing and approaching of the shutter 131. Furthermore, the shutter 131 can be moved in a variety of other ways to open and close the fragrance channel 12, in addition to moving closer to and further away from each other. Such as sliding, rotating, etc.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in an alternative embodiment, the first air hole 12a and the second air hole 12b are disposed at the bottom of the perfume groove 12, and the shielding member 131 is disposed below the perfume groove 12. The drive member drives the shutter 131 up and down to move towards or away from the fragrance channel 12. This arrangement facilitates the placement of various structures within the scent device 10, which effectively reduces the cross-sectional area of the scent device 10 and further facilitates the installation of the scent device 10 in other equipment. In an alternative embodiment, the perfume device 10 is installed in the air duct of an air conditioner, an air purifier or other household appliances capable of blowing air.

Referring to fig. 2, in an alternative embodiment, the scent device 10 includes a plurality of the scent slots 12 and a plurality of the blinders 131. Wherein, the shielding piece 131 and the spice groove 12 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Specifically, a plurality of inside holding chambeies that all are provided with relatively independent in the spices groove 12, the spices of different types, different smells all can be placed to every holding intracavity. It is noted that each of the fragrance grooves 12 is provided with one of the shielding members 131. During use of the fragrance apparatus 10, a user can select a fragrance groove 12, and the opening and closing of the fragrance groove 12 can be individually controlled by controlling the shutter 131 corresponding to the fragrance groove 12 selected by the user. At this time, the shielding member 131 corresponding to the remaining fragrance grooves 12 shields the first air holes 12a and/or the second air holes 12b of the fragrance grooves 12 corresponding thereto. So that the remaining fragrance channels 12 are normally closed. Without affecting the fragrance cartridge 12 in use. Furthermore, the shielding pieces 131 and the spice troughs 12 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner, so that each spice trough 12 can be independently controlled to be opened and closed. So that the user can individually open or close one of the fragrance channels 12 to select a preferred fragrance type as desired.

Referring to fig. 2, further, the number of the perfume grooves 12 is not less than 2 and not more than 10. Where the fragrance apparatus 10 includes a plurality of fragrance channels 12, the number of fragrance channels 12 can be controlled between 2 and 10 to provide the user with a selection of fragrance types. The structure of the perfume device 10 is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

Referring to fig. 6, in an alternative embodiment, the driving component alternatively drives the shielding member 131 to move, so as to conduct the perfume container 12, the air inlet 11a and the air outlet 11 b. This simplifies the structure of the fragrance device 10 and reduces the manufacturing cost. In an alternative embodiment, the driving assembly drives the shutter 131 away from the perfume groove 12 by the driving motor 142, so as to conduct the air inlet 11a, the air outlet 11b and the perfume groove 12. And the drive assembly alternatively drives one of the fragrance channels 12 open. Only one drive motor 142 needs to be provided within the fragrance apparatus 10. Thereby effectively reducing the volume and manufacturing cost of the fragrance device 10. In addition to the drive motor 142, the remaining components that control the movement of the shutter 131 away from the fragrance cartridge 12 are also the same. In another embodiment, the driving assembly can also selectively drive a plurality of the shutters 131 to move to open a plurality of fragrance slots 12 in the fragrance apparatus to obtain the mixed fragrance desired by the user. However, with such an arrangement, the required driving assembly has a complicated structure, which easily causes the perfume device to have the problems of high manufacturing cost, large volume, and the like. There is also less need for blending fragrances for the user, a less common need. That is, if the respective driving is provided for a plurality of the shielding members 131, only one of the shielding members 131 is turned on and off most of the time, and the rest of the shielding members are in an idle state, which causes waste. Thus, the drive assembly alternatively drives the shutter 131 to move to open the fragrance channel 12 associated with that shutter 131, with the remaining fragrance channels 12 remaining normally closed. Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the fragrance assembly 10 with one of the fragrance channels 12 in an open position. It can be seen that when one of the fragrance channels 12 is open, the remaining fragrance channels 12 are normally closed.

Referring to fig. 6 and 9, in an alternative embodiment the drive assembly includes a drive motor 142 and a cam disc 141, the cam disc 141 being connected to the drive motor 142 such that, when the drive motor 142 is rotated, the cam disc 141 periodically causes one of the shutters 131 to move away from the fragrance channel 12. A cam disc 141 and drive motor 142 are used to drive the shutter 131 away from the fragrance cartridge 12. Specifically, the driving motor 142 drives the cam plate 141 to rotate. The cam plate 141 is provided with a contact portion 141a. The contact portion 141a moves with the rotation of the cam plate 141. When the contact portion 141a approaches one of the shielding members 131, the shielding member 131 is driven to move away from the perfume groove 12 corresponding to the shielding member 131. When the contact portion 141a is disengaged from the shutter 131, the shutter 131 is no longer carried along and the shutter 131 is driven by the rest of the driving assembly to return to the original closed position.

Further, the locus of motion of the contact portion 141a is the circumferential locus of the cam plate 141. And a plurality of the fragrance grooves 12 are annularly arranged. So that when the cam plate 141 rotates, the contact portion 141a can contact different shielding members 131 to alternatively drive the shielding members 131 away from the fragrance groove 12. When the cam disc 141 rotates for one or several circles, the contact portion 141a moves to the same position to periodically drive the shielding member 131 corresponding to the position away from the perfume groove 12. When the perfume groove 12 to be opened needs to be changed, the driving motor 142 drives the cam disc 141 to rotate, so that the contact part 141a moves to the required area corresponding to the perfume groove 12 and moves in the area, and the shielding part 131 moves away from or approaches to the perfume groove 12. The cam plate 141 is a disc cam having a radial profile that varies in size and rotates about its axis. When it rotates around the fixed shaft, the driven part is driven to move in the plane perpendicular to the cam shaft. The cam is the most basic type of the cam, and has simple structure and wide application. In this case, the cam plate 141 is used to convert the rotation of the driving motor 142 into an up-and-down motion, thereby moving the shutter 131 closer to or farther from the fragrance groove 12.

Referring to fig. 10, in an alternative embodiment, the housing 11 includes a housing cover 111 and a housing body 112. The air inlet 11a is formed on the housing cover 111, and the air outlet 11b is formed on the housing body 112. Because a plurality of the perfume grooves 12 are annularly arranged, a plurality of air outlets 11b are also arranged on the shell body 112, and the plurality of air outlets 11b and the plurality of perfume grooves 12 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Optionally, in order to improve the air quality, a grid structure or a filter screen is arranged between the annular perfume tanks 12, the grid structure or the filter screen is arranged corresponding to the air inlets 11a, and the airflow flowing in from the air inlets 11a passes through the grid structure or the filter screen, then passes through the perfume tanks 12, and then flows out from the air outlets 11 b.

Referring to fig. 9, in an alternative embodiment, the cam plate 141 is disposed inside the housing 11, the driving motor 142 is disposed outside the housing 11, and the housing 112 is provided with a connection hole for connecting the cam plate 141 and the driving motor 142. In this manner, the driving motor 142 is mounted outside the housing 11. The volume of the housing 11 can be effectively reduced. The limitation on the volume of the driving motor 142 is also reduced. With this arrangement, the housing 11 and the devices inside the housing 11 are manufactured, and the driving motor 142 is manufactured in two parts. The cost can be effectively reduced. Moreover, the inner structure of the perfume device 10 is simplified, and maintenance is facilitated. In an alternative embodiment, the fragrance assembly 10 is installed in an air conditioner. The indoor unit 100 has a control member connected to the driving motor 142 to control the switching device to turn on or off the fragrance assembly 10. The driving motor 142 is disposed outside the casing 11, so that the driving device is easily connected to the control part of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner, thereby implementing an intelligent switch of the perfume device 10.

Referring to fig. 6 and 8, in an alternative embodiment, the driving assembly further includes an elastic member 132 and a fixing seat 133. The fixing seat 133 is fixedly connected with the housing 11, and the elastic member 132 connects the fixing seat 133 and the shielding member 131. The elastic member 132 has an initial position and a deformed position, when the contact portion 141a contacts the shutter 131 to drive the shutter 131 away from the perfume container 12 and maintain the shutter 131 at this position, the elastic member 132 moves to the deformed position, that is, the elastic member 132 is deformed to store energy, and the contact portion 141a needs to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 132. When the contact portion 141a is disengaged from the shutter 131, the elastic member 132 is reset, i.e., restored from the deformed position to the initial position, to drive the shutter 131 close to the perfume groove 12. Further, an elastic member 132 is disposed under the shielding member 131. When the fragrance channel 12 is opened, the resilient member 132 is forced to move to the deformed position. When the contact portion 141a is not in contact with the shielding member 131, the elastic force of the elastic member 132 supports the shielding member 131, so as to maintain the shielding member 131 shielding the first air hole 12a and/or the second air hole 12b. When the fragrance groove 12 is opened, the shutter 131 is in a downward opening position, and the elastic member 132 is elastically deformed by being pressed. Creating an upward spring force. However, the contact portion 141a of the cam plate 141 is in contact with the resilient member 132, i.e. the contact portion 141a needs to overcome the resilient force generated by the resilient member 132 when the fragrance cartridge 12 is in the open state. When the perfume groove 12 needs to be closed, the contact portion 141a is controlled to be separated from the shielding member 131, and the elastic force generated by the pressing of the elastic member 132 can drive the shielding member 131 to move, so that the shielding member 131 can shield the first air hole 12a and/or the second air hole 12b again. In an alternative embodiment, the resilient member 132 is a spring. The spring is a relatively low cost, easily replaceable, easily maintained resilient member 132.
