Definitions

• the present disclosure relates to a valve mechanism used in fragrance dispensers that allows a fragrance essence to be spread into the ambient for ambient odorization in all kinds of places.
• the present disclosure in particular relates to a valve mechanism for the fragrance dispenser which allows an essence inside a bottle or any type of container to be absorbed always at the same rate and in the opposite direction of the gravity, depending on the level of the essence, by means of a wick immersed into a lower reservoir and to be spread into the ambient to be odorized by means of an ultrasonic transducer.
• Fragrance dispensers are devices that allow pulverized essences to mix with air by spreading particles into the ambient.
• the fragrance is spread around by placing the wick carrying the fragrance essence directly into the bottle and by absorption of the fragrance in the direction of gravity. Therefore, the efficiency of the fragrance emitted by the wick is directly proportional to the amount of liquid in the bottle and the performance of the device decreases as the amount of liquid decreases.
• the mentioned document relates to a fragrance dispenser comprising a bottle type fragrance cartridge and a special insertion slot for the bottle type fragrance cartridge.
• a bottle type fragrance cartridge comprising an air inlet pipe that allows the accelerated air blown from the fragrance dispenser to reach the fragrance liquid and a spray outlet nozzle that allows the spray of ventilated fragrance droplets from the fragrance liquid through the accelerated air and a fragrance dispenser to which the fragrance cartridge is inserted.
• document no. TR 2010/02015 Another example of the state of the art is document no. TR 2010/02015.
• the mentioned document is related to an atomizer for all essential oils, volatile oils, water and oil-based liquids used for ambient odorization and provides odorization using micro-diffusion technology.
• this invention it is mentioned that the liquid drawn through a rod with suction in the upwards direction from the bottom of the bottle is sprayed through the nozzle to the ambient by means of a mini air compressor.
• Compressors are used in both of the inventions mentioned above. This technique has some disadvantages due to the sound emitted by compressors during the operation of the device, the maintenance needs of compressors and the failure rates. The absorption of the fragrance essence in the opposite direction of the gravity and spreading into the ambient with a particle size adjusted with a transducer is not possible, while the efficiency of the device depends entirely on the level of liquid in the bottle and the quality of the compressor used.
• the present invention relates to a valve mechanism for a fragrance dispenser, which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages and brings new advantages to the relevant technical area.
• the main purpose of the invention is to ensure that the fragrance essence in any bottle or container is absorbed in the opposite direction of the gravity by means of a wick dipped in the lower chamber.
• Another purpose of the invention by means of the developed valve design, is to ensure that the amount of fragrance essence in the lower chamber always remains the same and that the lower end of the wick is always kept in the same level of liquid, so that the amount of liquid carried to the upper surface of the wick touching the transducer is continuous and constant.
• Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the fragrance efficiency of the fragrance dispenser from changing according to the level of liquid in the bottle. When the liquid level is high, the excess amount of liquid transmitted to the transducer causes leaks at the fragrance outlet of the device, and furthermore, decrease in the amount of transmitted liquid results in a decrease in the amount of the fragrance spread into the ambient and lower device performance.
• the invention relates to a valve mechanism comprising a bottle where the liquid essence is stored and a wick by which the liquid essence is absorbed, intended to be used in the fragrance dispensers for the purpose of ambient odorization in all kinds of places in order to fulfill all of the purposes that may arise from the above mentioned and detailed description.
• the invention comprises; a lower chamber under the mentioned bottle where the liquid essence flowing out of the bottle is fed,
• buttons seal which is located at the bottom of the said lower chamber and which can move up and down at the bottom of the lower chamber
• a cover which is introduced on the mentioned button seal with and which is surrounded by culverts in order to allows the liquid essence inside the bottle to flow into the lower chamber and to reach to the liquid essence level
