Abstract
A cartridge designed to dispense fluid via atomization is provided. The system generally comprises a cartridge, fluid, manifold, and air supply, wherein the air supply injects air through the manifold and into the cartridge through an air inlet of the cartridge. The air is manipulated by the cartridge in a way that creates a stream of fast-moving air above a fluid within the cartridge. This results in a zone of lower pressure above the fluid that results in the fluid to be suctioned into said stream of fast-moving air where it is atomized. The atomized fluid is then carried by the stream of fast-moving air out an atomization outlet where it is dispersed within the environment.
Claims17
A system configured to atomize/nebulize/spray a fluid with a stream of air, comprising:
- a casing having a fluid reservoir, a vacuum channel, and an air duct enclosed therein,
- the air duct having an air inlet and an air outlet both of which pass through an exterior surface of the casing,
- wherein the fluid reservoir has a first opening which intersects the vacuum channel at a bottom connection point of the vacuum channel,
- the air duct intersects the vacuum channel at a top connection point of the vacuum channel,
- a narrowing of the air duct is located between the air inlet and the top connection point, and
- the air outlet is an atomization outlet.
A system configured to atomize/nebulize/spray a fluid with a stream of air under a Venturi effect comprising:
- a casing having a fluid reservoir, a vacuum channel, and an air duct enclosed therein, the air duct having an air inlet and an air outlet both of which pass through an exterior surface of the casing,
- wherein the fluid reservoir has a first opening which intersects the vacuum channel at a bottom connection point of the vacuum channel,
- the air duct intersects the vacuum channel at a top connection point of the vacuum channel,
- a narrowing of the air duct is located between the air inlet and the top connection point,
- the system is configured such that when the fluid is present in the fluid reservoir and when the air forms a first air stream which flows through the air duct and is converted into a second air stream at the narrowing of the air duct, the second air stream has a speed greater than the first air stream, and the fluid is suctioned from the vacuum channel and into the second air stream under the Venturi effect, atomizing the fluid, and
- the air outlet is an atomization outlet.
