According to the fragrance assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the plurality of containing cavities 201 and the plurality of movable covers 30 are arranged on the storage container 20, and the movable member 40 for opening and closing the movable cover 30 is arranged, so that not only can the existence of more fragrance pieces be realized, the replacement period be prolonged, and the replacement frequency be reduced, but also in the using process, the replacement between the fragrance pieces with different fragrances can be realized through the movement of the movable member 40, or the release of the fragrances with different concentrations can be realized, the odor endowment to the indoor space according to the use requirements can be realized, and the use experience of the fragrance assembly 100 can be improved.

A fragrance assembly 100 according to some embodiments of the utility model is described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2 to 6, the movable member 40 is a rotating rod, the rotating rod can rotate around its central axis, and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating rod is provided with a driving protrusion 41, so that the driving protrusion 41 rotates around the central axis of the rotating rod along with the rotating rod. The movable lid 30 is provided with a fitting projection 31, and the driving projection 41 can be fitted with the fitting projection 31 to drive the movable lid 30 to rotate.

Specifically, the driving protrusion 41 is circularly movable between the fitting position where it is fitted to the fitting protrusion 31 and the release position where it is released from the fitting protrusion 31 during the rotation of the driving protrusion with the rotation lever. When in the matching position, the driving protrusion 41 can match with the matching protrusion 31 to drive the movable cover 30 to rotate, so that the movable cover 30 opens the fragrance outlet 202 to release the fragrance; in the release position, the driving force of the driving protrusion 41 to the engaging protrusion 31 is cancelled, so that the movable cover 30 is not subjected to an external force from rotating the rotating rod, and the movable cover 30 can be reset to a position for closing the fragrance outlet 202, so as to prevent the fragrance from being released outwards corresponding to the fragrance.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 to 6, a plurality of the containing cavities 201 may be distributed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft (the left-right direction as viewed in fig. 2), and a plurality of the driving protrusions 41 may be distributed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, so that the plurality of the driving protrusions 41 and the plurality of containing cavities 201 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, thereby respectively driving the fitting protrusions 31 of the plurality of the movable covers 30 by the plurality of the driving protrusions 41.

Wherein at least two driving protrusions 41 are offset in the circumferential direction of the rotating lever. So that at least two driving protrusions 41 disposed in a staggered manner do not simultaneously engage with the respective corresponding engaging protrusions 31, thereby not simultaneously opening the corresponding movable covers 30. Therefore, when the rotating rod rotates to different positions, the different driving convex parts 41 can be matched with the different matching convex parts 31, so that the different movable covers 30 are driven to be opened, and the fragrance type switching is realized.

Of course, in some embodiments, at least two driving protrusions 41 may not be staggered along the circumferential direction of the rotating rod, that is, at least two driving protrusions 41 overlap along the axial direction of the rotating rod, so that the driving protrusions 41 with overlapping projections can simultaneously cooperate with the corresponding cooperating protrusions 31 to simultaneously drive the corresponding movable covers 30 to open, so that the fragrance inside at least two containing cavities 201 simultaneously releases the fragrance outwards, thereby achieving the fragrance blending effect or releasing the fragrance with higher concentration.

The present invention is not particularly limited in the fitting structure of the driving protrusion 41 and the fitting protrusion 31.

For example, in some embodiments, the maximum distance between the outer surfaces of the driving protrusion 41 and the mating protrusion 31 and the corresponding rotation axis is greater than the distance between the rotation axes of the driving protrusion 41 and the mating protrusion 31, so that the driving protrusion 41 can interfere with the mating protrusion 31 when rotating to a predetermined position, and the two are engaged with each other, thereby shifting the mating protrusion 31 to rotate the mating protrusion 31 until the driving protrusion 41 is rotated to disengage from the mating protrusion 31, and the movable cover 30 can be reset.

For another example, as shown in fig. 6-9, the outer surface of the driving protrusion 41 may include a first convex surface, and the outer surface of the mating protrusion 31 may include a second convex surface. During the rotation, the first convex surface can be in interference fit with the second convex surface to increase the friction between the driving protrusion 41 and the fitting protrusion 31, so that the driving protrusion 41 can drive the movable cover 30 to rotate. The convex structure enables friction between the driving convex part 41 and the matching convex part 31 to be small or to be separated by a small distance before the driving convex part rotates to the interference fit and after the driving convex part rotates to the interference fit, so that the driving convex part 41 cannot be matched with the matching convex part 31, and the movable cover 30 can be ensured to be successfully reset.

In addition, in some embodiments of the interference fit to drive the movable cover 30 to open, the opening angle of the movable cover 30 can be controlled by controlling the rotation angle of the rotating rod, so as to control the efficiency of releasing the odor outwards, and thus realize the adjustment of the fragrance concentration.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5-7, the movable cover 30 is provided with a rotating shaft 32 so that the movable cover 30 can be rotatably mounted to the magazine 20 by the rotating shaft 32. Specifically, the two sides of each containing cavity 201 are respectively provided with a second buckle 26, the two sides of the movable cover 30 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft 32, and each rotating shaft 32 is rotatably clamped into the corresponding second buckle 26, so that the movable cover 30 can rotate to open or close the fragrance outlet 202.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 to 7, the magazine 20 may further be provided with a plurality of first fasteners 25, the plurality of first fasteners 25 are distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating rod, and different positions of the rotating rod in the axial direction are respectively and rotatably fastened into the plurality of first fasteners 25, so that the rotating rod can be stably rotated. Alternatively, the plurality of first hooks 25 and the plurality of second hooks 26 may be disposed in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to make the structure beautiful and avoid the interference of the first hooks 25 with the mating structure of the mating protrusion 31 and the driving protrusion 41.

It should be noted that, the resetting mode of the movable cover 30 can be flexibly set according to actual needs. As shown in fig. 5 to 7, the engaging protrusion 31 is provided at one end of the movable cover 30, and the distance between the rotating shaft 32 and the engaging protrusion 31 is smaller than the distance between the rotating shaft 32 and the other end of the movable cover 30, so that the center of gravity of the movable cover 30 is located at the side of the rotating shaft 32 facing away from the engaging protrusion 31. The movable cover 30 is formed as a turnover plate, and when the driving protrusion 41 is matched with the matching protrusion 31, the gravity of the movable cover 30 can be overcome, so that the movable cover 30 rotates to open the fragrance outlet 202; when the driving protrusion 41 is disengaged from the engaging protrusion 31, the movable lid 30 can be automatically closed under the action of its own gravity, and a component for driving the movable lid 30 to return is not required to be additionally provided, and the problem that the movable lid 30 cannot return is not easily caused.

Of course, in some embodiments, the fragrance module 10 may also be provided with a reset member, such as a reset spring, for driving the movable cover 30 to reset, which is also within the scope of the present invention.
