The present disclosure relates to a technical field of dust removal devices, and in particular to an air outlet of a vacuum cleaner with aroma generation.
Vacuum cleaners are one kind of common cleaning apparatus, which are capable of generating powerful suction and may suck up dust or other foreign matters. The vacuum cleaners each generally includes a dust collecting cylinder for accommodating the dust or the other foreign matters, an air duct communicated with an accommodating space in the dust collecting cylinder, and a fan for generating airflow in the air duct. However, when the vacuum cleaners are used for a long time, the dust or the other foreign matters accumulated inside easily generate peculiar smells, and the peculiar smells may follow the airflow and dissipate outwards through an air outlet of the air duct, thereby affecting user experience when the vacuum cleaners are in use.

In one embodiment, second air ports 421 are defined on the outer end surface 42 and respectively face the first limiting portion 431 of each of the first limiting components 43. The aroma sheet 20 and the second limiting portion 432 are spaced apart, so that the airflow flows out through the second air ports 421, the airflow passes through a periphery of the aroma sheet 20, which enables fragrance to be better diffused.
In one embodiment, an inner contour of the second limiting portion 432 is matched with an outer contour of the aroma sheet 20, which is beneficial for mounting the aroma sheet 20. For example, when the aroma sheet 20 is square, an inner side of the second limiting portion 432 may be configured as one or two planes, and when the aroma sheet 20 is circular, the inner side of the second limiting portion 432 may be configured as an adapted curved surface.
In a specific embodiment, the aroma sheet 20 is preferably circular, and the first limiting portion 431, the second limiting portion 432, and the second air ports 421 are all arc-shaped, so that the airflow may be better guided outwards.
Certainly, in other embodiments, the aroma sheet 20 may also be square or other shapes, which is not limited herein.
