  • Publication number: 20150102124
    Abstract: A nozzle replaceable atomizer with automatic abnormality detecting function is provided. In the atomizer, when a detachable spray head is assembled to a main machine, a microcomputer serves to automatically set a piezoelectric element at an optimal operating frequency. When working at the optimal operating frequency that allows resonance, the piezoelectric element has the least impedance and the current/voltage phase difference of zero. During the operation of the atomizer, once the current/voltage phase-comparing circuit notices that the current/voltage phase difference is not zero or not close to zero, the microcomputer triggers a frequency-tracing prompter to inform a user that a frequency-tracing switch has to be operated to redefine the operating frequency of the piezoelectric element. If repeated adjustments have been done as failure and the frequency-tracing prompter keeps giving prompts, the user can be sure that the spray head needs to be maintained or replaced.

  • Publication number: 20150097047
    Abstract: A method for controlling and managing a smart atomizer involves automatically frequency tracing to rapidly optimize an operating frequency of a piezoelectric element of a spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is assembled to a main machine of the smart atomizer. The main machine performs spray-dosage setting, so that each spray session can operate according a preset spray dosage, so as to provide consistent spray of liquid easily. While the liquid is sprayed, the frequency-abnormality detecting means keeps detecting whether there is any abnormality of the operating frequency of the piezoelectric element. Thereby, whether the spray nozzle works normally can be easily confirmed by whether a frequency-tracing prompter gives out a prompt and what maintenance message is contained in the prompt. The method also includes event recording and external record reading for storing, exporting and leveraging data about usage of the atomizer for improved usage of the atomizer.
