The base of transistor Q3 is preferably coupled to ground via a 10 kohm resistor R18, preferably coupled to the collector of A733 transistor 10 Q4 via a 10 kohm resistor Rn. The base of transistor Q4 is preferably coupled to the motor signal from pin 14 of processor U2 via a kiloohm resistor R9, which is preferably coupled to a 5 volt supply. When the motor signal from processor U2 is high, transistor 卩丨 is preferably driven to conduct, substantially grounding first end 116 of motor connector JK1, 15 and allowing current to flow through motor 35A. Further, when the motor signal is high, the electric crystal Q4 is turned off, and the transistor q3 is turned off. This interrupts the current path through the resistors R16, R3 and transistor Q3 from the 12 volt supply, so the maximum amount of current will flow through the motor 35A. In addition, when transistor Q3 is off, PMOSFET U3 is turned off, separating first and second terminals 116, 118 of motor 35A across PMOSFET U3. Conversely, when the motor signal from processor U2 is low, transistor Q1 is preferably turned off, which substantially separates first terminal 116 of motor connector JK1 from ground potential, and stops current flow through motor 35A. In addition, when the motor signal is low, the transistor Q4 is preferably driven to be turned on, so that the transistor q3 is driven to be the transistor 28 1274592. This provides a current path from the 12 volt supply through resistors R16, R3 and transistor q3, which further directs current from motor 35A. In addition, when the transistor Q3 is turned on, pm〇SFEtu3 becomes conductive, causing the first terminal and the second terminal 丨", 118 of the motor 35A to be short-circuited via the 5 PMOSFET U3 to ensure the first motor terminal and the second motor terminal 116, 118. There is no voltage drop between them. Thus, according to the present invention, the motor circuit 64 provides at least two types of machine rotation, which interrupts the rotation of the motor 35A as quickly as possible in response to the motor signal from the processor U2. Referring again to the % map, The table below shows the voltage and resistance approximation values for each position shown in Figure 30, and the motor 10 35A is running or stopped: the voltage value of the motor 35A at the operating position and the stop position and the position value of the resistance value shown in Figure 30. Voltage 5 volts 0 volts MOSFET impedance south Z short circuit N3 voltage 12 volts 1 · 〇 7 volts N6 voltage 0 volts 12 volts N7 voltage 0 volts 0.7 volts N8 voltage 〇 volts 12 volts N9 voltage 0.7 volts volts volts 3rd figure shows heat The resistor R11, preferably the series-connected capacitor C2' is interposed between the SNR signal of the microcontroller U2 pin 8 and the ground potential. The thermistor im is measurable due to temperature changes. The fixed resistance change 'so the microcontroller 15 U2 preferably uses the SNR signal as an input signal to monitor the temperature near the heater element. 29 1274592 Resistor R10 is preferably a series coupled capacitor C2, which is connected to the microcontroller U2. The REF signal of the pin 9 is between the ground potential and the microcontroller U2 preferably uses the REF signal as a reference signal for comparison with the SNR signal to counteract the influence of fluctuations in the surrounding temperature. The microcontroller U2 is preferably charged via the CRG signal. The C2, CRG signal is coupled to the microcontroller U2 pin 10 to the capacitor C2. The micro-control U2 then monitors the pulse width of the SNR signal, which is related to the resistance of the thermistor R11 to determine the temperature in the vicinity of the heating element 45. The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings which illustrate the operation of the device group 43. The user typically first inserts a 12 volt DC power pack into the output 10, supplies power to the device set 43, and couples via the socket 36 shown in FIG. The device group is connected to a 12 volt power supply. Next, the user inserts the cassette 42 into the cassette accommodating cavity 47 and closes the top cover 7. The control unit 73 will receive power, and the card 42 is pressed. The electric switch 78 (the switch SW1 of Fig. 32) is located in the cassette accommodating cavity 47. The latch 31 is engaged at the lip portion 82 of the bottom portion 8 of the top cover 7, initially maintaining the device group 43 in the closed position of the seal 15, while the cassette 42 The inner turntable and the shallow tray 19 are in the rest position. Next, the user presses the right control panel U before the button 13 to activate the drive assembly 66 and the blower assembly 70. Once the shallow tray 19 is rotated from the rest position, the top cover 7 Will be locked in the closed position until the shallow pan 19 returns to the rest position. Preferably, the advance-skip printed circuit board 34iLED4 will rotate when the turntable is rotated to position the first fragrance element in the heater assembly 68, alerting the user that the turntable is already rotating. After the first fragrance element is in the heating assembly, the heating element 45 is activated, and preferably the LED 4 enters from the flashing state to a stable lighting state. The heating element 45 is typically rated to a built-in setting, typically including low, medium and high strength. The strength is better displayed on the left control panel 1〇, and the left control panel can be pressed by 30 1274592 to select 2. (4) Unit 73 can be assembled to the last intensity level selected by the memory user to actuate the card E42. Preferably, the control element Cui 73 monitors the temperature of the heating element 45 and applies a pulsed current to the heating element 维持 to maintain the desired level of intensity. The temperature can usually be monitored using thermistor R11 as shown in Figure 31. 5 The scent element of the cassette 42 is usually activated for a period of time which is selected to be long enough for the user to understand and perceive the aroma, but does not exceed the time the user desensitizes the fragrance, and desensitizes the fragrance occasionally. It is called "fragrance fatigue" or "accustomed to it". Reference is made to U.S. Patent Application: us 0068010 A. The operating time is about 15 minutes to 6 minutes and preferably about 10 minutes. The actuation time is usually also related to the activation of the fragrance body time and the fragrance element time after diffusion activation. When activated by heating the scented body, it was found that it is generally not necessary to activate the scented body to diffuse throughout the actuation phase. It is thus preferred to activate the fragrance element to undergo a shorter period of time than the actuation time selected for diffusion-activated fragrance element. The shorter time is from about 5 minutes to 1 minute 15 minutes and preferably about 8 minutes. For example, when the actuation time of the fragrance element after diffusion activation is selected to be about 30 minutes, the appropriate time for the activation of the element is about 22 minutes. This is advantageous because it allows the scent element to cool for about 8 minutes before allowing the inner turntable of the card (10) to be rotated. After the activation time of the fragrance element (usually about 3 minutes) after diffusion activation exceeds 20 hours, the control unit 73 preferably rotates the turntable to position the next fragrance element above the heating assembly 68. When the 'turntable rotates' again, the LEIM__ of the printed circuit board 34 is skipped. This New Fortune is restored to the last scented body. After the last scent element has been actuated, the control unit will continue to operate the blower assembly 70 while monitoring the temperature. After the device group has a temperature drop of 31 1274592 to 70 °C, the turntable will eventually be rotated to the rest position. When the user decides to stop the advancement of the card maker before the entire fragrance element is actuated, the user can press the advance 13 again. The electronic control unit turns off the heating assembly 68' preferably causes the LED 4 to begin to flash again. The control unit 73 continues to operate the blower assembly 70 while monitoring the temperature. Once the temperature drops below 7 ,, the device set 43 turns the turntable to the rest position and closes the blower assembly 70 and LED 4 °. When the user decides to skip a scent element, the user can press the jump Ha 14 control unit 73 normally The heating assembly 68 is turned off, preferably 10 LED4 is again flashed. The control unit 73 also continuously operates the blower assembly % while rotating the turntable to the secondary position. Once the next scent element reaches the upper position of the heating assembly, the normal program will be restored. However, if the skip button 14 is pressed when the device group state pushes the last scent element, the control unit 73 will be in the same manner as the user presses the advance button 13 as before. The device group 15 is operated 43, and the device group 43 is stopped. If the device group 43 is powered down during operation, the control unit is configured to return the turntable to the rest position after the power is restored. In addition, device group 43 will enter the standby mode after the device is powered. Referring now to Figs. 36 to S6, there is shown a second specific example of the device group 43 in which the volatilization of the material according to the present invention is carried out in accordance with the material (4).

The top housing 2 includes a gear 40A that is assembled to cooperate with a plurality of teeth formed at the bottom §. As illustrated, the bottom 8 series is configured to cooperate with at least one torsion spring % to open the rear grip cover 7 in a substantially upright position. When the cover 75 is opened, the combination of the gear 4A and the tooth 40B assists in controlling the operation of the torsion spring %. Gear 40A is preferably packaged in a grease selected to slow the action of cover 7. Referring now to Figures 51 through 54, similar to the first embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 19 through 22, the drive assembly 66 and the positioning assembly 72 comprise a shallow disc 19, where the latch recess 84A has a tapered outer shape. . The latch recess 84A is again positioned at the rest position of the corresponding pocket 42 of the platter "week 10 edge 88. The tapered profile helps to determine that the latch 31 returns to the closed position shown in Figure 42 during operation of the device set. This may occur when the top cover 7 is opened and then the latch 31 is closed incompletely and not returned to the closed position. The tapered outer profile can smoothly return the key 86 of the latch 31 to the closed position when the shallow disk 19 is rotated, as shown in Figures 55 and 56. Referring now to Figures 4, 41, 42, 46 and 55, the cassette receiving cavity 47 formed in the top housing 2 includes a pair of circular openings 74A and rectangular openings 76A which are respectively arranged Cooperating with a pair of ejection members 41 and an electric switch. The ejection member 41A includes a spring 41B to assist in removing the card E mounted to the card receiving cavity 47. The electric switch 78A is coupled to the cavity The side branch 78B supports 'as shown in Fig. 42, and the current supplied to the main printed circuit board 32 will be cut off unless the cassette is mounted on the card, and the inner I 87.
