The fragrances of the fragrances are different, and the fragrance module is arranged on the corresponding installation position through the installation member, and the connection structure is formed on the installation member, and the fragrance of the fragrance can reach the outside of the installation member through the connection structure. In this way, under the action of the wind blown by the fan 23, the fragrance of the aromatherapy material can be blown out of the casing. The air-conditioning indoor unit is formed with a guide structure 14 at a position corresponding to the installation position. The guide structure 14 includes a communication pipe 141 connected to the aroma diffuser assembly 2 and a guide plate 142 connected to the air inlet 11, and the wind from the casing can be sequentially Enter the housing 1 through the connecting pipe 141 and the guide plate 142, and then under the action of the two indoor fans 13, the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy material can be sent to the indoor space together with the air in the indoor space, so that it can be adjusted in the indoor space. Adjust the scent of the indoor space while adjusting the temperature of the space. Among them, the aromatherapy assembly 2 also includes four drive transmission mechanisms 26, each aromatherapy module is equipped with a drive transmission mechanism 26, the drive transmission mechanism 26 is connected with the mounting member, so that the aromatherapy module can be moved by the drive transmission mechanism 26 The way is set in the installation position. An air supply channel is formed on the upper part of the casing 21. When the mounting member moves upward to the target position, the installation member is located in the air supply channel. At this time, the communication structure is naturally located in the air supply channel and is located in the installation member. After the fragrance of the aromatherapy material reaches the outside of the installation member through the communication structure, the wind flowing through the air supply channel can bring the fragrance to the indoor space. In this embodiment, the scents of the aromatherapy materials in the four installation components are all different. In this way, by moving the different installation components to the target position, the scent of different aromatherapy materials can enter the indoor space.

As a result, it can be ensured that the aromatherapy module has enough installation space and does not affect the design of the air duct. Based on the structure of the above-mentioned aromatherapy component, under the action of the fan, the aroma of the aromatherapy liquid can be blown to the air duct and finally sent into the indoor space. Obviously, a fan may not be provided. For example, an air guide structure is provided between the air duct and the aroma diffuser assembly. The air guide structure can guide the air with a certain speed in the air duct to the aroma diffuser assembly, and blow the fragrance of the aroma diffuser module in the aroma diffuser assembly. Into the shell, and then sent into the indoor space together with the air in the shell. It is understandable that, assuming that the air duct has enough space, all or part of the aromatherapy module can also be arranged in the air duct. In this way, the aroma diffuser module can be installed without a fan. The fragrance is carried to the indoor space. A person skilled in the art can flexibly select a specific implementation manner of delivering the fragrance of the aromatherapy module into the housing according to specific application scenarios, so as to adapt to more specific applications. For ease of illustration, the following describes possible implementations of the present invention by taking the aroma diffuser assembly including a fan in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 7, as shown in Figures 1 to 7 and in accordance with the orientation shown in Figure 3, the fan 23 includes a volute 231, a hub 232, and a plurality of blades 233 distributed along the circumference of the hub 232. The volute 231 is a square structure roughly equivalent to the size of the casing 21. The front and rear sides of the volute 231 are formed with screw holes at four corners. The front side is connected to the casing 21 by bolts, and the rear side is connected to the casing by bolts. 1 is connected, so that the aroma diffuser assembly 2 can be fixedly arranged in the housing 1. The casing 21 is surrounded by a first area in the lower half and a second area in the upper half. The first area is provided with a plate-like structure 24 as a mounting structure along the left and right directions, and the second area is an open structure that penetrates back and forth. In this way, an air supply channel is formed in the second area. In this way, the wind blown out by the rotation of the blades 233 can be blown from back to front through the air supply channel to the outside of the casing 21. At this time, it is located in the air supply channel The fragrance of the fragrance in the installation member can be better sent out of the cover 21 by the wind blown by the fan 23, so that the fragrance of the indoor space can be adjusted more quickly and better.

It is understandable that the number of fans can also be other numbers, such as four, that is, the number of fans is the same as the number of the first accommodating cavity, or three, where one fan is aligned with the two first accommodating cavities, etc. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select the number of fans according to specific application scenarios, so as to adapt to more specific application scenarios.

The air conditioner of the present invention includes a controller for executing the following control method.

In this embodiment, generally, the operating parameters of the indoor fan include the operating frequency, speed, current, etc. of the indoor fan. The designer can flexibly choose which operating parameter of the indoor fan to select the corresponding aroma module according to specific application scenarios. For example, only one aromatherapy module can be moved to the target position, or multiple aromatherapy modules can be moved to the target position. The scent of the multiple aromatherapy modules can be the same or different, and can be specifically designed according to the user's specific requirements or designs. Flexible choices such as demand.

For the convenience of explanation, the following describes possible implementations of the present invention by taking the operating parameter as the indoor fan and moving one fragrance module to the target position each time as an example.

Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a first flowchart of a control method of a cabinet air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 8, the control method of the present invention mainly includes:

Step S10: Turn on the cabinet air conditioner and start to operate to a stable state;

Step S20: Obtain the rotational speed of the indoor fan;

In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the indoor fan of the general cabinet type air conditioner can be divided into strong gear (900-960rpm), high windshield (800-900rpm), medium windshield (700-800rpm), and low windshield (600-700rpm). , Silent gear (500-600rpm). Obviously, the higher the speed of the indoor fan, the greater the air volume and the longer the air supply distance. The higher the frequency of internal circulation of the air in the indoor space under the action of the cabinet air conditioner, the faster it can be. The fragrance emitted by the fragrance module is diffused to various areas of the indoor space, so that the fragrance threshold that allows users to be more comfortable can be reached more quickly.

Step S30: According to the rotational speed of the indoor fan, the drive transmission mechanism is selectively activated, so that the aroma module corresponding to the activated drive transmission mechanism is moved upward to the target position.

Through the above setting method, according to the rotation speed of the indoor fan, the drive transmission mechanism corresponding to the appropriate aromatherapy module is selectively activated, and the operation of the drive transmission mechanism can drive the aromatherapy module to move up to the target position, so that the fragrance of the aromatherapy module The indoor space can be reached through the air supply channel, so that the fragrance of the indoor space can reach the fragrance threshold M that is more comfortable for the user, and the fragrance of the indoor space will not be too strong or too weak at this time. For example, when the speed of the indoor fan is low, you can choose to move the aroma module with a stronger fragrance to the target position; when the speed of the indoor fan is high, you can choose to move the aroma module with a lighter fragrance to the target position .

In this embodiment, due to the different rotation speeds of the indoor fans, the amount of aromatherapy material that can be carried to the indoor space at the same time will also be different, so that the time required for the fragrance of the indoor space to reach the fragrance threshold M is also different. In order to make the fragrance of the indoor space reach the fragrance threshold M faster, the residence time of the fragrance module at the target position is also different for different wind speeds. For example, for the same type of aromatherapy material, when the speed of the indoor fan is high, such as the wind speed of 920rpm, the first preset time that the aromatherapy module stays at the target position is relatively short, such as 10min. When the speed of the indoor fan is small, such as The wind speed is 650rpm, and the first preset time that the aromatherapy module stays at the target position is relatively longer, such as 25min.

It should be noted that there are different types of aromatherapy materials in the aromatherapy module, and the human body has different sensory concentrations of various aromatherapy materials. Some are thicker, such as lavender essential oil, rose essential oil, etc., and some are lighter, such as grass essential oil, green tea Some essential oils are moderate, such as magnolia flower essential oil and camellia essential oil. In the actual use process, if you want to reach the same moderate fragrance threshold M, the amount of different fragrance materials needs to be emitted is also different. Under the same air volume, you can control the fragrance by controlling the residence time of the fragrance module at the target position. The amount of material distributed.

In this implementation, the aromatherapy materials are mainly divided into the first type of aromatherapy materials and the second type of aromatherapy materials. Among them, the main attributes of the first type of aromatherapy materials are: from the human body sensory response, the performance is such as thick, deep, Obvious stimulation and other enhanced intervention need to adjust the aromatherapy materials, such as but not limited to: lavender essential oil, rose essential oil, etc. The main attributes of the second type of aromatherapy are: from the perspective of human sensory response, it is shown as light, shallow, non-irritating and other non-enhanced aromatherapy materials that can intervene in the air at will, such as but not limited to: grass essential oil, Green tea essential oil, magnolia flower essential oil, camellia essential oil, etc. According to the specific types of aromatherapy materials, after selecting the corresponding aromatherapy module according to the rotation speed of the indoor fan, different steps can be performed according to the specific types of aromatherapy materials in the aromatherapy module. The following describes possible implementations of the control method of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a second flowchart of a control method of a cabinet air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 9, the control method of the present invention mainly includes:

Step S11: Turn on the cabinet air conditioner and start to operate to a stable state;

Step S21: Obtain the rotational speed of the indoor fan;

Step S31: According to the rotation speed of the indoor fan, selectively start the drive transmission mechanism so as to move the corresponding aroma module upward to the target position;

Step S41: the aromatherapy module is placed at the target position for the first preset time;

Step S51: operating the drive transmission mechanism corresponding to the aromatherapy module, so as to drive the aromatherapy module to move downward and return to the first area;
