Specification

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aromatic diffuser systems. In particular, it relates to an aromatic diffusion device facilitating sustained and prolonged diffusion operation and method thereof.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed disclosure, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] An aromatherapy diffuser is a device used to disperse the aromatic molecules of essential oils into the air. The diffuser converts the liquid essential oil into a breathable and aromatic mist. With the rise in popularity of aromatherapy, a wide variety of diffusers have been developed to enable consumers to fully experience the benefits of essential oils. The existing varieties of diffusers include heat diffusers, evaporation diffusers, ultrasonic diffusers, and nebulizing diffusers. The said systems offer different mechanisms for dispersing essential oils into the air. One of the existing Chinese patents CN217082806U, entitled "Long-acting essential oil supply fragrance humidifier", discloses a long-lasting essential oil supply fragrance humidifier. Another existing British patent application publication, GB201215444A, entitled "Aroma diffusing heating device with replaceable aroma capsule", discloses an aroma-diffusing heating device, which heats an aroma capsule to give off fragrance and the aroma capsule is replaceable.
[0004] However, the heat diffusers which employ heat to evaporate essential oils can alter the chemical composition of the oils and diminish their therapeutic properties. The ultrasonic diffusers which use ultrasonic vibrations to break down essential oils into micro-particles may require regular cleaning to prevent mold and bacterial growth in the water reservoir. The nebulizing diffusers which atomize essential oils into a concentrated mist without using water or heat can be noisy, expensive, and may consume oils quickly. Also, the existing technologies often lack precise control over diffusion intensity, may require frequent maintenance, and may not offer customizable features to suit individual preferences. The said systems may offer slow and inconsistent diffusion and some pose fire hazards. Hence, there exists a need for a diffuser solution that provides an enhanced aromatic experience for users while addressing the limitations encountered with traditional diffuser methods.

The real-time data pertains to one or more factors associated with the aromatic diffusion device 100 and an environment. Further, the method includes step 206 of enabling, by the control unit 142, an oil dispenser unit 106 to dispense a pre-defined volume of the oil 140 onto the cloth material 128 based on the real-time data. The pre-defined volume of the oil 140 from the oil carton 108 may be initially dispensed into a drip chamber 112 employing one or more drip nozzles 110 and further the pre-defined volume of the oil 140 may be released to the cloth material 128 by the drip chamber 112 through one or more oil nozzles 118 to distribute the oil 140 on the cloth material 128.

[0055] Further, the method includes step 210 of allowing, by the control unit 142, the oil 140 dispensed to the cloth material 128 to get diffused by the heat transferred to the cloth material 128 by a heating unit 122 based on the desired moisture level reached. Further, the method includes step 212 of diffusing out, the oil 140 gets diffused from the cloth material 128 to the environment evenly from a cylindrical enclosure 102 encapsulating the heating unit 122 and the oil dispenser unit 106 for providing a delightful aromatic presence in the environment. Further, the method includes step 214 of ceasing and releasing, by the control unit 142, the diffusion of the oil 140 into the environment once the humidity level of the environment reaches a pre-defined humidity level and resuming, the diffusion of the oil 140 to the environment once the humidity level of the environment goes below the pre-defined humidity level.

The aromatic diffusion device 100 may automatically adjust the heating phase to heat the metal rod 124 to diffuse the oil 140 based on real-time monitoring of the humidity level of the environment. The aromatic diffusion device 100 may cease the diffusion operation once the time duration selected by the at least one user 136 ends and the humidity level of the environment reaches the pre-defined humidity level.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment, the user activates the aromatic diffusion device by filling the water and oil cartons and selecting a diffusion intensity of four drops and a duration of three hours in the user interface. The device begins by saturating the cloth with water until the moisture sensor confirms the ideal level. Water is dispensed from the water container onto the cloth until the moisture sensor indicates the cloth has reached the desired moisture level (60-70%). Further, the device dispenses oil into the drip chamber, which evenly distributes it onto the cloth. The device releases 3-5 drops of oil into the drip chamber so that the drip nozzles release 1 drop per second and the drip nozzle stops after that and the drip chamber releases the oil to the cloth which evenly distributes the oil onto the cloth through the oil nozzles placed above the cloth. If room humidity is below 45%, the electric coil activates, heating the metal rod. The electric coil heats the rod to 60°C, which in turn heats the ceramic layer and the cloth, starting the diffusion process. The device automatically adjusts its operation based on real-time humidity feedback, ensuring the room reaches a comfortable humidity level with a delightful aromatic presence. The humidity sensor periodically assesses room humidity. If it detects humidity at or above 45%, the device temporarily shuts down, resuming only when optimal conditions are restored. Once the set duration ends or optimal conditions are met, the device ceases operation, having efficiently and safely enhancing the ambiance of the room.
