When one odor generating apparatus 10 includes a plurality of bottle bodies 103, the odor materials stored in each of the bottle bodies 103 may be different kinds of odor materials. In addition, the shape and size of the bottle 103 are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application, and the bottle 103 may be a cylinder, a sphere, or the like.

Alternatively, each bottle 103 of one odor generating device 10 may be provided with one atomizer 102, i.e., the bottles 103 correspond to the atomizers 102 one by one. The atomizer 102 may be disposed below the bottle 103, and when the odor generating device 10 is required to generate odor, the odor material in the bottle 103 is atomized by the atomizer 102 to generate corresponding odor.

The odor material detector 104 is used for detecting the remaining condition of the odor material in the bottle 103, wherein the odor material detector 104 can detect the remaining condition of the odor material in the bottle 103 in various ways, such as: determining the remaining condition of the odor raw material by the vertical distance between the surface of the odor raw material in the bottle body 103, which is in contact with the air, and the top end in the bottle body; or determining the residual condition of the odor raw materials in the bottle body 103 through the change of the weight of the odor raw materials; or the remaining condition of the odor raw material is determined by the size of the medium capacitance value of the odor raw material in the bottle body 103. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific location of the odor material detector 104 is not limited, and the location may be determined according to the manner (i.e., the type of the odor material detector 104) of detecting the remaining odor material by the odor material detector 104, for example: when the odor material detector 104 detects the remaining condition thereof according to the weight of the odor material, the odor material detector 104 may be disposed under the bottle body; alternatively, when the scent material detector 104 detects the remaining state of the scent material according to the vertical distance between the surface of the scent material contacting the air and the inside top of the bottle body, the scent material detector 104 may be disposed at the top of the inside of the bottle body.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is another odor generating device provided in the embodiments of the present application. The odor generating device provided in this embodiment is substantially the same as the odor generating device provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, for easy understanding, the same parts in this embodiment as those in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and for brevity of description, the same and similar parts may refer to the related contents of the foregoing embodiment, and are not repeated herein.

In this embodiment, the atomizer 102 is connected to the controller 101, and atomizes the odor material in the bottle 103 according to the instruction of the controller 101 to generate corresponding odor.

The atomizer 102 may include an atomizing driver 1021 and an ultrasonic atomizing blade 1022 disposed at the bottom of the vial 103. The atomizing driver 1021 is connected to the ultrasonic atomizing sheet 1022 and the controller 101, respectively. The atomization driver 1021 is used for providing stable working voltage and working frequency for the ultrasonic atomization sheet 1022 according to the instruction of the controller 101, so as to ensure that the atomizer 102 can complete atomization according to the instruction of the controller 101.

In this embodiment, the ultrasonic atomization sheet 1022 may be disposed below the bottle 103. Optionally, an opening is disposed below the bottle body 103, a dispersion cotton stick 1023 is disposed at the opening, one end of the dispersion cotton stick 1023 extends into the bottle body 103 through the opening, and the other end of the dispersion cotton stick 1023 is in contact with the ultrasonic atomization sheet 1022. The dispersion cotton swab 1023 absorbs the odor material in the bottle body 103, and the ultrasonic atomization sheet 1022 atomizes the odor material in contact with the dispersion cotton swab 1023 into gas.

The odorant detector is described in detail below.

In this embodiment, the odor material detector 104 is disposed on the bottle 103 and connected to the controller 101 for detecting the remaining odor material in the bottle 103.

Alternatively, the scent material detector 104 may be a variable media type capacitive sensor. One end of the variable dielectric type capacitance sensor is arranged at the top in the bottle body 103, and the other end is arranged at the bottom in the bottle body 103. When the bottle 103 contains the odor material, the variable-medium capacitance sensor has a certain capacitance value. When the odor generating device 10 starts to work, the capacitance value of the variable-media capacitive sensor changes along with the change of the odor raw material. By detecting the capacitance of the variable-dielectric capacitance sensor, the remaining odor material in the bottle 103 can be known.

Alternatively, the scent material detector 104 may be a gravity sensor. The gravity sensor is disposed at the bottom of the inside of the bottle body 103, detects the weight of the bottle body 103, and subtracts the weight of the bottle body 103 not filled with the gas raw material, which is measured in advance, from the detected weight, so that the remaining odor raw material can be known.

Alternatively, the scent material detector 104 may be an ultrasonic range finder. The ultrasonic distance meter is arranged on the inner side of the top of the bottle body 103, measures the vertical distance between the surface of the odor raw material contacted with the air and the inner top end of the bottle body 103, and compares the measured distance with the height of the bottle body 103 measured in advance so as to know the condition of the residual odor raw material.

Through setting up smell raw materials detector and detecting the surplus condition of smell raw materials, can send the suggestion when the smell raw materials is about to use up, remind the user in time to increase the smell raw materials, guarantee smell generating device 10 normal operating.

In this embodiment, the scent generation apparatus 10 can further include a delivery assembly 105. The delivery assembly 105 is connected to the controller 101, and the delivery assembly 105 may be disposed around the ultrasonic atomization sheet 1022, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application, and a person skilled in the art may make a suitable selection according to actual situations. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the delivery assembly 105 is disposed about the ultrasonic atomization sheet 1022 and adjacent to the vials 103. The controller 101 controls the operation of the transport assembly 105. To avoid too rapid release of the atomized scent material, i.e., to enable the controller 101 to more accurately control the release time, the angle between the direction of the airflow output from the delivery assembly 105 and the orientation of the bottom opening of the bottle body ranges from 80 to 100. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the direction of the airflow output from the delivery assembly 105 is perpendicular to the orientation of the openings at the bottom of the vials.

Alternatively, the transport assembly 105 may be a booster fan. The controller 101 controls the operation of the booster fan, and the odor material atomized by the atomizer 102 is conveyed to the outside of the odor generating apparatus 10 by the booster fan. By arranging the conveying assembly 105, the odor generated by the odor generating device 10 can be effectively conveyed to a farther place, so that the odor generating device 10 does not need to be installed in a ventilation area, and the practicability of the odor generating device 10 is improved.

The odour generating device 10 can also comprise a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is connected to the controller 101 for collecting temperature information of the environment surrounding the scent generating apparatus 10, so that the controller 101 can determine the type and concentration of the released scent according to the environment temperature.

For example, the odor generating device 10 may be disposed in a greenhouse, for example, and when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature in the greenhouse is higher or lower than a preset temperature, the temperature sensor may release an irritant odor to warn a worker to control the temperature of the greenhouse. The odor generating device 10 can also be arranged in the office area, and the concentration of released odor is changed according to different temperatures in the office, so that the problem that the odor is too pungent due to too high temperature and fast odor emission is avoided. For example, the concentration of released scent is decreased when the temperature sensor detects an office temperature above 28 ℃, and increased when the temperature sensor detects an office temperature below 24 ℃. By arranging the temperature sensor, the odor generating device 10 can be applied to more different scenes, and the practicability of the odor generating device 10 is greatly improved.

The odour generating device 10 can also comprise a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor is connected to the controller 101 for collecting humidity information of the environment surrounding the scent generating apparatus 10, so that the controller 101 can determine the type and quality of the scent to be released according to the environmental humidity.

For example, the scent generation device 10 is used to release the corresponding scent matching a movie scene upon playback of the movie. Because the transmission speed of the odor is slow when the humidity is low, in order to enable the odor to be matched with the movie scene in time, when the humidity in the movie theater is detected to be low, the controller 101 increases the concentration of the released odor, so that the audience can smell the corresponding odor in time, and the viewing experience of the audience is enhanced. By providing the humidity sensor, the odor generating apparatus 10 can provide more appropriate odor according to the humidity condition of the surrounding environment.

It is understood that the odor generating apparatus 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include both a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The odor generating device 10 can determine the type and quality of the released gas according to the temperature and humidity conditions of the surrounding environment. The specific implementation manner is similar to that described above, and is not described herein again for the sake of brevity.

The scent generating apparatus 10 may further comprise a wireless communication module 106, the wireless communication module 106 is connected to the controller 101 for transmitting the received instruction to the controller 101, and the controller 101 controls the scent generating apparatus 10 to release the scent based on the instruction. The controller 101 may release the corresponding scent according to the pre-stored digitized scent parameters, or may receive the digitized scent parameters or the control command sent by the external device through the wireless communication module 106. For example, the external device sends a control command to the controller 101 through a wireless communication mode, and controls the atomizer 102 to atomize 5g of the perfume a and the perfume B in the bottle 103; or the external device sends preset digital smell parameters to the controller 101, and the controller 101 releases the smell according to the digital smell parameters sent by the external device. By arranging the wireless communication module 106, the user can control the odor generating device 10 in a more flexible way, which greatly facilitates the use of the user.

Referring to fig. 3, based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides an odor generating system 20. In this embodiment, the odor generating system 20 includes an upper computer 201 and the odor generating device 10. The odor generating device is wirelessly connected with an upper computer 201 through a wireless communication module 106, and the upper computer controls the odor generating device 10 to work through a wireless communication mode. The upper computer 201 may be, for example: the present disclosure is not limited to electronic devices with wireless communication functions, such as mobile phones and smartwatches. The specific control method corresponds to the interaction between the wireless communication module 106 and the external device, and for brevity of the description, the same or similar parts may be referred to each other, and are not described herein again.
