  • Publication number: 20250041543
    Abstract: An automatic dosage-controlled atomizer includes a medication atomizer and a respiration sensor. The respiration sensor includes a capacitive electrode assembly that has a varying capacitance correlated to a respiratory airflow from a user, a resonant circuit that generates a resonant signal based on the varying capacitance, a signal analyzing circuit that obtains a detected vital capacity value and a period time data piece related to a breathing cycle of the user based on a frequency variation of the resonant signal, and an atomization adjustment module that generates a cumulative effective inhaled dose value based on the detected vital capacity value and the period time data piece. The atomization adjustment module causes the medication atomizer to stop generation of an aerosol airflow when the cumulative effective inhaled dose value exceeds a predetermined dose threshold value.
