According a preferred embodiment, the processor 42 can integrate fragrance, sound, and light-emission display. For example, the dot-matrix display 34 varies according to the sound signal 322. Meanwhile, the fragrance module 20 delivers the nebulized liquid 4.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4 again. As shown in the figures, the present embodiment further comprises a touch device 13, which is disposed on the lid 11, connected electrically to the processor 42, and outputs a first touch signal 132 to the processor 42. Then the processor 42 controls the ultrasonic oscillating device 24 and the fan 26 connected electrically to it. The touch device 13 allows the user to control the output of fragrance, sound, and light individually. The touch device 13 can be a touch panel, for example, a touch sensor. According to a preferred embodiment, the sound receiving device 44 is disposed on the touch device 13 for saving the space of the lid 11.

The present embodiment further comprises a power device 50 disposed below the housing 12. According to a preferred embodiment, the power device 50 is disposed in a third opening 125 of the housing and supports the weight of the smart speaker with fragrance dispenser 1. The power device 50 is connected electrically with the processor 42 for supplying power or inputting or outputting an external signal 428 such as a music file. Then the processor 42 connected electrically with the power device 50 transmits power or the external signal 428 to respective devices. The details will not be described further. According to a preferred embodiment, the power device 50 is connected electrically to the mains electricity for supplying electricity and to the Internet or remote devices for providing data output or input. In addition, the processor 42 can input or output the external signal 429 for controlling external devices through electrical connection to the power device 50.

As shown in the figures, the present embodiment is based on the first embodiment as described above. Furthermore, a shaft 114 and one or more first magnetic member 116 are disposed below the lid 11. In addition, one or more second magnetic member 222 is disposed on the accommodating space 22 of the fragrance module 20. The location of the one or more magnetic member 116 corresponds to the location of the one or more second magnetic member 222, so that the one or more magnetic member 116 mutually attract the one or more second magnetic member 222 magnetically and thus fixing the lid 11. The accommodating space 22 includes a limiting member corresponding to the location of the shaft 114. The shaft 114 is disposed slidably in the limiting member 224 such that the lid 11 can rotate and slide. As shown in FIG. 5A, the lid 11 according to the present embodiment is pulled upward to dismiss the magnetic attraction between the one or more first magnetic member 116 and the one or more second magnetic member 222. Meanwhile, the limiting member 224 limits the raised distance of the lid 11 for avoiding the lid 11 from falling off. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, by rotating the lid 11, the second opening 221 of the accommodating space 22 of the fragrance module 20 can be exposed for refilling liquid (such as flavoring essence), or cleaning or replacing the accommodating space 22. According to the present embodiment, by rotating the lid 11, the one or more first magnetic member 116 correspond to the one or more second magnetic member 222. Then, by pushing down the lid 11, the first opening 121 is shut off for avoiding foreign matters from entering.

The present embodiment further comprises a touch device 13 disposed on the lid 11 and connected electrically to the processor 42 for controlling the fragrance module 20, the speaker 30, and the dot-matrix display 34. The touch device 13 allows the user to control the output of fragrance, sound, and light individually by means of the processor 42. According to a preferred embodiment, the sound receiving device 44 is disposed on the touch device 13 for saving the space of the lid 11. The connection and operations of the other devices according to the present embodiment are identical to those according to the first embodiment as described above.
