The fragrance component 20 is mounted within the mounting hole 13, with a surface of the fragrance component 20 aligning with the first surface 14, and another surface of the fragrance component 20 aligns with the second surface 15, allowing the fragrance component 20 to be exposed through the mounting hole 13, such that fragrance can be emitted and fragrance oil can be replenished. The fragrance component 20 can be secured within the mounting hole 13 using a latch structure (not shown in the figure), adhesive glue, or thermal bonding methods.

With reference to FIG. 5, the third embodiment of the present invention of mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 differs from the first embodiment in that the fixing component 10 has a first surface 14, a second surface 15, and an accommodation space 16 within the fixing component 10. A ventilation hole 17 is formed on both the first surface 14 and second surfaces 15, each connecting to the accommodation space 16. The fragrance component 20 is mounted within the accommodation space 16, and the fragrance can be emitted and fragrance oil can be replenished through these ventilation holes 17.

With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the fourth embodiment of the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 differs from the first embodiment in that the first connecting part 11 is a ring-shaped connector, and the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 further includes a connection block 30. The shape of the connection block 30 is identical to that of a bus connector, such that it can connect to the charging port 3 of the mobile phone 2. For example, the shape of the connection block 30 can be identical to the shape of Type-A™, Micro-B™, Mini-B™, Type-C™, other USB connectors, or a Lightning™ connector. The connection block 30 has a connection ring 31, and the connection ring 31 of the connection block 30 is interconnected with the first connecting part 11 through a connection chain 40, which can be made of multiple interconnected rings. Additionally, the connection ring 31 of the connection block 30 can also be directly interconnected with the first connecting part 11.

In the fourth embodiment, when the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 is attached to a mobile phone 2, the connection block 30 connects to the charging port 3 of the mobile phone 2, allowing the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 to be combined to and used with the mobile phone 2. Since the connection block 30 is connected to the first connecting part 11 of the fixing component 10 through the connection chain 40, 3 the fixing component 10, which combines the fragrance component 20, can be flexibly combined on the mobile phone 2, enhancing the convenience of using the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1. The length of the connection chain 40 can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

With reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the fifth embodiment of the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 differs from the first embodiment in that the fixing component 10 has a first connecting part 11 and a second connecting part 19. The first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 19 are both ring-shaped connectors. The mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 further includes a phone lanyard adapter 50 and a lanyard 60, each having a connection ring 31. The connection ring 31 of the phone lanyard adapter 50 is interconnected with the first connecting part 11 through a connection chain 40, which can be made of multiple interlinked rings. The connection ring 31 of the lanyard 60 is interconnected with the second connecting part 19 through another connection chain 40. The phone lanyard adapter 50 is designed to be clamped between the mobile phone 2 and a mobile phone case 4, with the connection ring 31 of the phone lanyard adapter 50 exposed outside the mobile phone case 4.

In the fifth embodiment, when the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 is attached to a mobile phone 2, the phone lanyard adapter 50 is positioned between the mobile phone 2 and the mobile phone case 4, with the connection ring 31 of the phone lanyard adapter 50 threading out from the mobile phone case 4 at a position corresponding to the charging port 3. Since the phone lanyard adapter 50 is fixed between the mobile phone 2 and the mobile phone case 4, the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 can be used together with the mobile phone 2. The connection of the connection ring 31 of the phone lanyard adapter 50 to the first connecting part 11 of the fixing component 10 through the connection chain 40 allows the fixing component 10, which combines the fragrance component 20, to be flexibly positioned on the mobile phone 2, enhancing the convenience of using the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1. Additionally, the user can hang the mobile phone 2 on their neck, shoulder, wrist, or a hook using the lanyard 60 connected to the second connecting part 19. The length of each connection chain 40 can be adjusted according to the user's needs.

The mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 of the present invention is connected to the charging port 3 of the mobile phone 2 through the first connecting part 11, through the connection block 30 that connects to the first connecting part 11, or via the phone lanyard adapter 50, which connects to the first connecting part 11 and is mounted between the mobile phone 2 and the mobile phone case 4, such that the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 can be combined with the mobile phone 2 for use. Compared to traditional fragrance candles and diffusers, which are not easily portable, the convenient attachment of the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 to the mobile phone 2 addresses the issue of traditional fragrance products being difficult to carry due to their size or the limitations of their use methods, thereby improving the convenience of fragrance products usage.

Furthermore, while providing a fragrance function, the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 does not affect the feel of holding the phone, neither does it increase the overall thickness of the mobile phone 2. As the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 connects to the charging port 3 of the mobile phone 2 or is mounted between the mobile phone 2 and the mobile phone case 4, users can easily set up or remove the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 according to their needs, enhancing flexibility to the use of the mobile phone fragrance accessory 1 while not being influenced by the mobile phone case 4 when installed.
