It should be understood that the diameter of the steel ball 222 is not less than that of the leak-proof tube 221 is not the only implementation, in some other embodiment, the diameter of the steel ball 222 is bigger than that of the leak-proof tube 221, and the diameter of the steel ball 222 is bigger than that of the hollowed-out structure of the leak-proof tube 221, thereby ensuring the steel ball 222 is limited to active in the leak-proof tube 221. The present invention does not limit the diameter specifications of the leak-proof tube 221. Without leaving the basic idea of the present invention, the change of the diameter specifications of the steel ball 222 should be deemed to be within the protection scope defined by the present invention.
Specifically, the steel ball 222 is made from stainless steel, it should be understood that, the steel ball 222 using stainless steel material is not the only implementation, in some other embodiments, the steel ball 222 has an internal metal covered by fluorine adhesive layer (i.e. fluorine rubber), which ensures that the steel ball 222 has a certain mass and can roll under gravity. The structure and the materials of the steel ball 222 are not limited herein, it should be understood that without leaving the basic idea of the present invention, the change of the structure and the materials of the steel ball 222 should be deemed to be within the protection scope defined by the present invention.
In some embodiments, referring to
When the steel ball 222 contacts with the rectifying portion 210, it contacts the centre of the bottom 212 of the rectifying portion 210, the hole 211 is communicated with the leak-proof tube 221. The hole 211 in the bottom 212 of the rectifying portion 210 is arranged at an off-center position thereof. When the aromatherapy machine work normally, the steel ball 222 is located at the bottom of the leak-proof tube 22, that is to say that the steel ball 222 is attached to the bottom 2120 of the rectifying chamber 210, but does not block the hole 211. At this time, the a part of the mist in the liquid reservoir 120 enters the leak-proof tube 221 from the hole 211, after the mist touches the steel ball 222, it moves along a gap between the steel ball 222 and the leak-proof tube 221 toward the spray port 110. The hole 211 provides one more flowing path, and assists the flow amount of the mist of the spraying port 110 consistent to ensure the quality of the spraying mist. When the mist enters the leak-proof tube 221 from the hole 211 and touches the steel ball 222, the mist also can lubricate the steel ball 222, ensuring that the steel ball 222 rolls smoothly in the leak-proof tube 221, and ensuring that the steel ball 222 can still fit with the spray port 110 after it is used for along time, and ensuring the leakage prevention effect.

Specifically, compared with Chinese Utility Model Patent No.: ZL201921251007.5, which discloses oil leaking prevention structure, the steel ball directly contacts with the spraying port 110. As the increase of service time, the aging of spray nozzle 110 is easy to cause cracks in the blocking state. While in the embodiments in the present invention, the elastic ring 223 as a medium between the spraying port 110 and the steel ball 222, the steel ball 222 contacts the elastic leak ring 223 to enable sealing of the spraying port 110. The elastic ring 223 is made from fluorine rubber or butyl fine rubber, which has good corrosion resistance to the essential oil, which can avoid the oil leakage sealing performance of the elastic ring 233 from reducing. The essential oil at the surface of the steel ball 222 can lubricate the steel ball 222, keep the elasticity of the elastic leakage ring 223 for a long time and not easy to age.
In some embodiments, referring to
Specifically, the steel ball 222 contacts the elastic ring 223 to deform it, when the steel ball 222 compresses the limited portion 221-1, the maximum stroke of the steel ball 222 is reached, at this time, the elastic ring 223 reaches the optimal deformation, the limited portion 221-1 prevents the deformation of the elastic ring from becoming too large and causes the steel ball 222 to be unable to fall back when the aromatherapy machine is placed upright.

Specifically, the pore size of the increasing pressure hole 232 is gradually narrowed to increase the gas flow rate in the increasing pressure hole 232 to blow away the air near the positive pressure bore 234. At this time, a side of the positive pressure hole 234, blown away the air, is in a low pressure state, and the side of the positive pressure hole 234, connected to the oil outlet hole 233, is communicated with the essential oil in the liquid reservoir 120. A pressure of the liquid surface of the essential oil causes the essential oil to enter the oil hole 233 through the delivering hose 240 and then be ejected through the positive pressure hole 234. The essential oil ejected from the positive pressure hole 234 meets the gas from the increasing pressure hole 232, causing the essential oil to atomize into the mist.
