Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizers, and more specifically, to a sensor-activated atomizer. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of aromatherapy diffuser technology, especially in the design of commercial and home aromatherapy devices, convenient replacement of aromatherapy liquid and device safety have always been key research and development priorities. To achieve rapid replacement of aromatherapy liquid, existing aromatherapy diffusers generally employ a modular design, allowing both the atomizing component and the aromatherapy liquid container to be detached from the diffuser body. This design not only makes it easy for users to change to different scents of aromatherapy liquid according to their needs, but also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the device.

[0003] For commercial environments, to prevent theft of aromatherapy components, and in home environments to prevent children from accidentally operating or ingesting the aromatherapy liquid, existing aromatherapy diffusers are generally equipped with locking devices. These locking devices securely fasten the atomizing components, aromatherapy liquid container, and diffuser body together, effectively improving the device's security.

[0004] However, while these locking devices meet security requirements to some extent, they are often complex in structure and cumbersome to operate. These devices typically require a special key to open, which not only increases the burden on users but also makes the keys themselves prone to loss, causing inconvenience. Especially in commercial settings, when there are many aromatherapy diffusers, key management becomes a tedious task, increasing management costs and potentially rendering the equipment unusable due to key confusion or loss.

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned problems, Chinese patent CN202222036622, a utility model patent for an aroma diffuser, describes a novel locking structure that enables the detachable fixing of the atomizing head while simplifying the locking mechanism. Specifically, the locking structure includes a pin and a slot, respectively located on the body and the atomizing head. The pin can enter or leave the slot via an electromagnetic mechanism built into the body or an external magnetic mechanism, thus completing the locking or unlocking operation. This design eliminates the need for complex mechanical structures and special keys, greatly simplifying the locking device. However, this solution places the locking mechanism on the side of the body, requiring the magnetic component to be firmly attached to the vertical side wall of the body for unlocking. Even with markings, finding the exact unlocking position is difficult, often resulting in unlocking failure and causing inconvenience.

[0006] Therefore, how to simplify the structure of the locking device, improve the convenience of user operation, and reduce the trouble of key management while ensuring the safety of the aroma diffuser has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current aroma diffuser design field. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a sensor-activated unlocking atomizer that is quick and convenient to unlock.

[0008] This utility model relates to a sensor-activated unlocking atomizer, comprising a housing, an atomizing component, a locking mechanism, and an unlocking element. The atomizing component is installed inside the housing, and the two are locked together by the locking mechanism. The unlocking element is an independently separable component that uses a sensor to release the locking mechanism from locking the atomizing component and the housing. The improvement lies in the presence of an unlocking area on the housing or atomizing component. This unlocking area supports the unlocking element. When the unlocking element is placed on / inside the unlocking area, the locking mechanism unlocks. When the unlocking element is removed from the unlocking area, the locking mechanism re-locks the atomizing component and the housing. The unlocking area in this design not only supports the unlocking element but also helps it to be accurately positioned. The user simply places the unlocking element on / inside the unlocking area to achieve accurate pairing between the unlocking element and the locking mechanism. This not only frees up the user's hands for easy separation of the atomizing component from the housing and replacement of the aromatherapy liquid but also prevents accidental operation. It is particularly convenient for atomizers installed in special locations, such as high places or narrow spaces, and freeing up the user's hands also improves the user experience.

[0009] This solution is applicable to various locking mechanisms, where the unlocking element and the locking mechanism are connected via magnetic attraction, RFID unlocking, or Hall effect sensor unlocking, or one or more of these methods. Generally, mechanical locking mechanisms use magnetic attraction, while electronic locking mechanisms use RFID or Hall effect sensor unlocking.

[0010] To reduce costs and energy consumption, the unlocking component and locking mechanism preferably use magnetic unlocking. The unlocking area is specifically a flat surface or recess on the housing or atomizing assembly to support the unlocking component. The locking mechanism is installed adjacent to the unlocking area, designed to attract the unlocking component. Providing a specific flat area or recess facilitates quick positioning of the unlocking component and supports it, preventing it from falling or shifting.

[0011] The specific structure of the locking mechanism includes a magnetic suction component and a locking component. The unlocking component cooperates with the magnetic suction component to drive the locking component to achieve the unlocking action. Further, the locking component is a flexible pin structure, disposed within the housing or atomizing assembly, and cooperates with a lock hole disposed in the atomizing assembly or housing. The locking component is inserted into the lock hole along a first axis to achieve locking between the atomizing assembly and the housing. The magnetic suction component is driven by the unlocking component to move along a second axis, causing the locking component to disengage from the lock hole along the first axis. The second axis is not parallel to the first axis. By using a magnetic suction component and a locking component with non-parallel movements—that is, the locking component on the side of the housing provides lateral locking, while the magnetic suction component is at a certain angle—it is convenient to place the unlocking area on the top of the housing or atomizing assembly, thus forming a plane or recess for placing the unlocking component.

[0012] To simplify the overall structure, the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis. To achieve this perpendicularity, the locking mechanism includes a pin and an elastic element. The elastic element pushes the pin along the first axis into the lock hole. The pin has a first inclined surface. The magnetic actuation mechanism includes a support frame, a sliding frame, and an attracted end. The sliding frame is slidably mounted within the support frame along the second axis and connects to the attracted end through the support frame. The sliding frame has a second inclined surface, and the pin passes through the sliding frame, allowing the first and second inclined surfaces to fit together. When the sliding frame slides along the second axis, the second inclined surface pushes the first inclined surface, causing the pin to compress the elastic element along the first axis. This structure is simple, stable in use, and provides reliable unlocking efficiency.

[0013] To further improve unlocking efficiency, the unlocking component is a magnetic attracting end, comprising a permanent magnet. The locking mechanism has a magnetic attracted end, comprising another permanent magnet. When the unlocking component is placed on the unlocking area, the attracting end drives the attracted end to move vertically upward, thus unlocking the locking mechanism. The purpose of providing another permanent magnet on the locking mechanism is to increase the attraction between it and the permanent magnet of the unlocking component. The other permanent magnet, combined with the vertically upward unlocking action, causes the attracted end to lose its attraction, i.e., it moves away from the unlocking component on the unlocking area. Under the influence of gravity, the other permanent magnet can push the locking mechanism to reset, thus locking.

[0014] The atomizing component includes an atomizing base and an aromatherapy liquid container. The aromatherapy liquid container is connected to the atomizing base, and the atomizing base seals the aromatherapy liquid container within a housing. The locking mechanism locks the atomizing base and the housing as a single unit. Sealing the aromatherapy liquid container within the housing via the atomizing base improves the overall design and ease of use of the product.

[0015] The outer shell is divided into functional areas, including a power chamber and an atomizing chamber that are isolated from each other. The power chamber is equipped with a power supply component, an air supply component and a control component. The atomizing chamber is equipped with an atomizing component. The air supply component extends into the atomizing chamber through an air supply pipe to provide high-pressure gas to the atomizing component.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By setting an unlocking area and a sensor-activated unlocking component, users only need to place the unlocking component on / inside the unlocking area to quickly unlock the locking mechanism, without the need for complex mechanical operations or special keys. The design of the unlocking area not only facilitates the positioning of the unlocking component but also makes the operation more intuitive and simple, especially when used at heights or in confined spaces, greatly improving the convenience of operation. The structure is simple and easy to maintain, reducing user operating costs and maintenance difficulties. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this invention. To better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0035] Example

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a sensor-activated unlocking atomizer, including a housing 100, an atomizing assembly 200, a locking mechanism 300, and an unlocking component 400. The unlocking component 400 is an independently separate part, combined with... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the atomizing component 200 is installed inside the housing 100, and the two are locked together by the locking mechanism 300. Figure 4 As shown, the unlocking component 400 uses a sensing method to release the locking mechanism 300 from locking the atomizing component 200 and the housing 100.

[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an unlocking area 500 is provided on the outer casing 100. The unlocking area 500 supports the unlocking component 400. The unlocking component 400 is placed on the unlocking area 500, which can unlock the locking mechanism 300. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the unlocking component 400 moves away from the unlocking area 500, the locking mechanism 300 resumes the lock between the atomizing component 200 and the housing 100.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the unlocking member 400 and the locking mechanism 300 are magnetically unlocked. Understandably, in other embodiments, inductive unlocking methods such as Hall effect sensor unlocking can also be used. The unlocking area 500 is specifically a recess on the housing 100 for supporting the unlocking member 400. The locking mechanism 300 is installed adjacent to the unlocking area 500 so that it can attract the unlocking member 400.

[0039] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 300 includes a magnetic actuating element 310 and a locking actuating element 320, which are combined with Figure 8 As shown, the locking action 320 is an elastic pin structure, which is set inside the housing 100 and cooperates with the lock hole 330 set in the atomizing component 200 and the housing 100. The unlocking component 400 cooperates with the magnetic action 310 to drive the locking action 320 to achieve the unlocking action.

[0040] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the locking actuator 320 is inserted into the lock hole 330 along the first axis 601 to lock the atomizing component 200 and the outer casing 100. Figure 11 As shown, the magnetic attraction component 310 is driven by the unlocking component 400 to move along the second axis 602, causing the locking component 320 to disengage from the lock hole 330 along the first axis 601, thus achieving the unlocking action. The second axis 602 is perpendicular to the first axis 601. Understandably, the angle between the second axis 602 and the first axis 601 is not necessarily 90°; it can be selected to match the fit between the housing 100 and the atomizing component 200.

[0041] Further integration Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the locking mechanism 320 includes a pin 321 and an elastic element 322, with a first inclined surface 323 on the pin 321. The magnetic attraction mechanism 310 includes a support frame 311, a sliding frame 312, and an attracted end 313, with a second inclined surface 314 inside the sliding frame 312. In conjunction with the above... Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the elastic element 322 pushes the pin 321 to be inserted into the lock hole 330 along the first axis 601. The sliding frame 312 is slidably installed in the support frame 311 along the second axis 602 and passes through the support frame 311 to be connected to the attracted end 313. The pin 321 is installed through the sliding frame 312, so that the first inclined surface 323 and the second inclined surface 314 fit together. When the sliding frame 312 slides along the second axis 602, the second inclined surface 314 can push the first inclined surface 323 to compress the elastic element 322 along the first axis 601.

[0042] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the unlocking component 400 is a magnetic attracting end, i.e., a permanent magnet. The locking mechanism 300 has a magnetic attracted end 313, i.e., another permanent magnet. When the unlocking component 400 is placed on the unlocking area 500, the attracting end drives the attracted end to move vertically upward, thereby unlocking the locking mechanism 300. The two permanent magnets provide a stronger mutual attraction, ensuring the reliability of magnetic unlocking. Furthermore, the other permanent magnet also increases the weight of the attracting end 313, ensuring that when the attraction of the unlocking component 400 is lost, the sliding frame 312 can slide down under sufficient gravity, improving the reliability of locking.

[0043] like Figure 14 As shown, the atomizing assembly 200 includes an atomizing base 210 and an aromatherapy liquid container 220, the aromatherapy liquid container 220 being connected to the atomizing base 210, and combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the atomizing base 210 seals the aromatherapy liquid container 220 inside the outer shell 100, and the locking mechanism 300 locks the atomizing base 210 and the outer shell 100 into a whole.

[0044] like Figure 16 As shown, the outer casing 100 includes a power chamber 110 and an atomizing chamber 120 that are isolated from each other. The power chamber 110 is equipped with a power supply component 111 and an air supply component 112. The atomizing chamber 120 is equipped with an atomizing component 200 and a control component 113. The air supply component 112 extends into the atomizing chamber 120 through an air supply pipe 114 to supply high-pressure gas to the atomizing component 200.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the claims of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
