Vaporizer device for health and wellness care
Methods and devices for atomizing a fragrant liquid can use a reservoir that receives a volume of a base liquid. One or more drops of a substance are added to the base liquid to form a volume of an aromatic liquid. A vaporizer atomizes the aromatic liquid, forming a mist that is emitted from the device. The device allows a user to customize the blend of substances that are used to form the aromatic liquid.
1. A home health device comprising:
a housing;
a reservoir, within the housing, adapted to hold a foundation liquid consisting of water;
at least one dock adapted to receive at least one container containing a concentrate liquid different from the foundation liquid;
an atomization chamber, within the housing, receiving a vaporization liquid, the vaporization liquid being formed from at least a portion of the foundation liquid from the reservoir and a portion of the concentrate liquid from the at least one container;
a vaporizer configured vaporize at least a portion of the vaporization liquid; and
a duct providing a fluid flow path between the housing and an airspace that surrounds the device,
wherein the concentrate liquid is delivered from the at least one container to the atomization chamber at a location above a top surface of atomization chamber fluid therein.
2. The home health device of claim 1 , wherein the reservoir and the atomization chamber are a single chamber.
3. The home health device of claim 1 , wherein the concentrate liquid includes at least one of a fragrance, an essential oil, chemicals and medicine.
4. The home health device of claim 1 , further comprising a drop control mechanism disposed between the dock and the vaporizer, the drop control mechanism configured to drop-wise regulate a flow of the concentrate liquid from the at least one container into the vaporizer.
5. The home health device of claim 4 , wherein the drop control mechanism is operable to measure a predetermined amount of the concentrate liquid into the vaporizer.
6. The home health device of claim 5 , wherein the predetermined amount of the concentrate liquid provides an amount of a medicine predisposed in the concentrate liquid.
7. The home health device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor for detection when the at least one container at the at least one dock is empty.
8. The home health device of claim 7 , further comprising a container indicator for providing a visual indication when the sensor detects that the at least one container is empty.
9. The home health device of claim 1 , further comprising a reservoir liquid sensor for determining if the reservoir is empty.
10. The home health device of claim 1 , further comprising a software application configured to communicate with the device, the software application including at least one module, written in computer code stored on a non-transitory computer media, the at least one module configured to receive, from a user a desired recipe for delivery of the concentrate liquid, and send a signal to the device to operate a drop control mechanism for the concentrate liquid to deliver an appropriate volume of the concentrate liquid into the atomization chamber.
11. The home health device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one module is further configured to receive an indication, from the device, when the at least one container containing the concentrate liquid is empty.
12. The home health device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one module is further configured to alert the user to operate a cleaning cycle after a predetermined number of distributions of the concentrate liquid or after a predetermined period of time, wherein the cleaning cycle is performed by the home health device.
13. The home health device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one drop control mechanism operable to transfer the concentrate liquid from the at least one container to the location above the top surface of the atomization chamber fluid in the atomization chamber, wherein the at least one drop control mechanism operates in a reverse direction after delivery of the concentrate liquid to the atomization chamber.
14. The home health device of claim 13 , further comprising a sensor detecting a presence or an absence of the concentrate liquid exiting the location above the atomization chamber fluid in the atomization chamber, wherein the absence of the concentrate liquid while the at least one drop control mechanism is operating provides an indication of the at least one container being empty.
15. The home health device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one dispensing button operable to release, into the atomization chamber, a predetermined amount of concentrate liquid from a respective one of the at least one container.
