An air purification-aromatherapy machine includes a housing, an aromatherapy assembly, a filter screen, and an air extractor; the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the aromatherapy assembly, the filter screen and the air extractor are placed in the housing; the air extractor comprises a fan, an air duct configured for guiding an airflow blown by the fan to the air outlet, and a sound absorber configured for absorbing noise of the airflow; an end of the air duct is extended to the air outlet, the sound absorber is placed in the air duct and corresponding to the air outlet.

The present invention relates to a fragrance generator for a vehicle, the fragrance generator including a storage casing configured to accommodate a plurality of fragrance cartridges therein, a cover casing coupled to one surface of the storage casing and configured to discharge a fragrance discharged from the fragrance cartridge, and a rotary member interposed between the storage casing and the cover casing and having a length extending in two directions of one surface, in which one or both of a pair of lateral casings disposed on two opposite surfaces of the storage casing is separably coupled to the storage casing, thereby further improving assembling performance and durability.

The present invention is directed to a digital aroma system that provides a scented air on demand in a vehicle to prevent or mitigate nausea. Fragrance cartridges are held in a fragrance module having a manifold and valves that are controlled by a processor. The system can open valves to direct an airflow through an anti-nausea fragrance cartridge in response to a user input, detected location of prior nausea, or detected nausea inducing vehicle motions.

A fragrancing system may include at least one cartridge for storing a fragrance and at least one closing mechanism. The cartridge may have a cartridge opening. The closing mechanism may include a flap, a shaft, a lever, and a pin. The flap may be displacable via the shaft to a closed position, in which the flap closes the cartridge opening, and an open position, in which the flap frees the cartridge opening. The fragrancing system may further include an actuating mechanism, which may have a disc rotatable via an actuator. A cam plate structure may project axially from the disc. The pin may be arranged on a radially outward facing outer side of the cam plate structure when the flap is in the closed position and may be engaged with a recess of the cam plate structure when the flap is in the open position.

The invention relates to air cleaning and enrichment systems, namely, to systems for providing a user with a healthy air, and it may be used in living, training, medical and working rooms, interiors and cabins of vehicles in order to provide household, medical and other people needs in the air that is cleaned from harmful impurities and chemically healthy.

The system In.AirBox for providing a user with a healthy air is capable of creating the airflow and comprises a room with at least one means for arranging the user, an air delivery duct, a control device, at least one container comprising the air that is collected in a forest area or in mountains, or over a sea or a seaside, or cleaned from harmful impurities, or comprising added healthy impurities, an air output duct that is coupled to the at least one container comprising the air and that is capable of supplying the air from the at least one container into the room. The air delivery duct is configured with a filter and is capable of supplying the air from the environment into the room that is capable of being closed and equipped with at least one measurement device that is capable of measuring the air pressure and/or temperature, and/or moisture, and/or a number of impurities therein, and coupled to the control device, while the control device is capable of regulating the airflow rate supplied from the air output and delivery ducts depending on parameters of the at least one measurement device.

A technical effect lies in increase of the efficiency, providing safety for the user's health, flexibility, simplicity of use, simplification of the structure, cost-cutting of the air cleaning and enrichment process.

In a method for operating a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a vehicle, an input of an instruction of a user for the HVAC system is performed by means of a user interface. The HVAC system executes the input instruction. Furthermore, an olfactory signal is generated for the user by means of an olfactory device of the HVAC system as an input confirmation. Furthermore, a corresponding HVAC system for a vehicle is provided.

Systems and methods are disclosed for an embedded in-vehicle platform that provides immersive user experiences. An example method includes obtaining, by a vehicle controller of a vehicle, a preference profile for a user; loading the preference profile by the vehicle controller; determining a shopping experience of the user occurring on a vehicle shopping platform within the vehicle; determining an ambience profile of a merchant identified in the shopping experience; and controlling, by the vehicle controller, an in-vehicle ambience within the vehicle based on the ambience profile and the preference profile.

An automatic car air freshener system is disclosed that is configured to integrate into existing ducting of a vehicle and selectively disperse a measured amount of scent matter into the ducts for dispersion into the cabin of the vehicle. The system includes a storage unit containing a volume of scented matter, a release mechanism in communication with the storage unit, and a control unit in communication with the release mechanism and configured to regulate the dispersion of the scented matter from the storage unit in accordance with the desires of a user. The control unit is an interface for the passenger to regulate scent dispersion. A sensor is also optionally included to monitor air quality from the ambient air.

The present invention relates to a device releasing substances in a controllable and changing way, particularly the present invention relates to the configuration of such a device (1) and the inner portion (2) of such device and to the use of such device to provide the release of the substances to the surrounding environment in a targeted way.

A predictive scent control system and method thereof for dispersing a scent into a passenger compartment of an automotive based upon a feedback system having a decision unit and a set of predefined users' settings. Dispersion of scent or fragrance into the passenger compartment may be based upon prediction user behavioural profile. User behavioural profile may include an average based upon timing of access to vehicle, an average based upon frequency of selection of predefined user settings, and an ambience of the passenger compartment. In another embodiment, the predictive scent control system may be configurable to disperse a pungent scent in the event of unauthorised access to the vehicle. The predictive control system is applicable to vehicles for multiple users or car-sharing.
