Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an atomizer for the dispersal of a liquid.
  • Atomizers for dispensing of liquids are well known in the art.
  • a common ultrasonic atomizer such as SC Johnson's Glade Wisp air freshener typically comprises a wick which is placed in the reservoir of material to be dispensed.
  • the wick leads to a position adjacent to a vibrating plate which is provided with a plurality of fine holes. Liquid from the wick is held in a gap between the wick and plate. As the plate is vibrated, this liquid is dispersed through the holes in the orifice plate.
  • Cartridge with pre-filled liquid fragrance can be replaced when the old ones are used up.
  • the mesh plate is permanently attached to the transducer and cannot be easily removed for cleaning.
  • the fine holes on the plates may be clogged with dried particulates, diminishing vapor output.
  • the Omron NE-U22 medical nebulizer is another example of the use of a vibrating mesh.
  • the mesh is spaced from the transducer with a gap between the two. This gap provides a capillary space along which liquid medicine flows in order to cover the surface of the transducer. As the transducer vibrates, it pushes the liquid through the orifices in the mesh thereby dispensing the medicine for inhalation.
  • the mesh plate in the Omron NE-U22 nebulizer is attached to a liquid reservoir, which is designed to be removable and washable. However, it is troublesome to sterilize after each use. A sterile reservoir and mesh plate is important because of potential contamination of the inhalation medicine. Replacing the mesh plate after each use is also impractical due to the high cost of replacement parts.
  • a vibrating media is described in application PCT/GB 2007/002863.
  • the application describes the use of a wick made of a fibrous material, which is in contact with the transducer and vibrates with it. Liquid is drawn by the wick from a liquid reservoir and delivered to the transducer by capillary action. As the transducer vibrates, the acoustic energy from the transducer on one side of the wick causes liquid to disperse from the opposite side, away from the transducer.
  • fibrous material is better suited for a disposable design, as materials like cotton or polymer fiber wicks are easier and cheaper to manufacture than metal mesh plates.
  • the fibrous material needs to be thin enough for the acoustic energy to sufficiently penetrate to atomize the liquid. A thick material will dampen the wave energy and affect vapor output.
  • a thin material is ineffective in drawing sufficient liquid from the reservoir to be delivered to the transducer. After the initial amount of material is atomized, the wick section adjacent to the transducer becomes dry. The atomizer needs to pause for several seconds for the wick to soak up enough liquid for the next cycle. This is obviously impractical in applications requiring constant vapor output, such as spray painting or inhalation of lung medication.

  • the ultrasonic transducer is connected to the power source (external or internal battery) and a circuit board with a signal generator and a microprocessor; whereby when the cartridge is moved to the second engaged position, the ultrasonic transducer is activated and vibrates the probe, and the liquid from the wick is atomized, and vapor of the atomized liquid exits the mouthpiece.

  • the circuit board can have at least one sensor, including optical or special sensor, which senses when the removable cartridge is in the first non-engaged position or the second engaged position; in the first non-engaged position, the microprocessor turns off the ultrasonic transducer; in the second engaged position, the microprocessor turns on the ultrasonic transducer.
  • the apparatus can use at least one spring to provide resistance to the removable cartridge from the first non-engaged position to the second engaged position.
  • the power source can be an internal battery or an external power source; and the ultrasonic transducer can be activated by an activation switch or an activation button.
  • the ultrasonic transducer can have multiple piezoelectric elements, a transduction portion, an anvil bearing member and a sonotrode amplification member, and the ultrasonic transducer can be acoustically coupled;
  • the housing can have acoustic isolators to dampen vibrations emitted from the ultrasonic transducer to the housing;
  • the wick of the removable cartridge is a silicone membrane.
  • the removable cartridge can have a verification electronic chip or an authentication chip, which communicates with the microprocessor and allows for verification of the removable cartridge for said apparatus; whereby when the removable cartridge is verified with the authentication chip, the cartridge is moved to the second engaged position, and the ultrasonic transducer is activated and vibrates the probe, and the liquid from the wick is atomized, and vapor of the atomized liquid exits the mouthpiece; the verification chip can communicate with the microprocessor to log in a specific user and to record usage, time of use, frequency or dosage; and the verification chip has an encoded profile of the removable cartridge; the microprocessor and the verification chip can use encryption software to record usage and user information and to keep said user information as confidential and to provide password access; and the

  • the wick made wet by the liquid there is limited or no air exchange with the outside environment.
  • the reservoir When the atomizer is inactive, the reservoir is able to hold the liquid without the liquid dripping out through the fibrous wick material. This phenomenon is similar to a drinking straw holding a volume of water with one end covered by a finger-tip. Without air entering the reservoir, the outside air pressure creates an upward force on the liquid on the wick greater than the force of gravity pulling down on the liquid. Surface tension of the fibrous wick material also creates capillary forces to keep the liquid from dripping out of the reservoir.
  • the volume of the reservoir is calculated such that capillary forces and atmospheric pressure is able to support the weight of the liquid, even when the reservoir is completely full. This volume equates to the weight of the liquid at any amount less than one atmosphere pressure at sea level. If the liquid is heavier than one atmosphere, it will overcome the air pressure outside the reservoir and leak out.
  • a transducer When the wick is placed on the transducer, liquid flows within the capillary space between the wick and transducer.
