The present application relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing generating odors. In aspects, the disclosed methods may include generating, by a chemistry dispersion element, a signal configured to act upon a surface of a chemistry reservoir to disperse an odorous substance retained within the chemistry reservoir. The chemistry reservoir and the chemistry dispersion element may be disposed within a housing. The method also includes generating, by an air pump, a volume of air, and transporting, by an airflow pathway, the volume of air from the air pump to an air outlet. The volume of air passes through at least a portion of the housing as it flows through the airflow pathway from the air pump to the air outlet, and transports at least a portion of the odorous substance dispersed by the chemistry reservoir within the housing to the air outlet.

Fragrance nebulizer with drainage system

A device for generating a scented mist of an atomized liquid fragrance oil includes an atomizer complex, a reservoir assembly, a drainage tube, and a vacuum tube. The atomizer complex can atomize the liquid fragrance oil into a scented mist and deliver the scented mist to air outside of the atomizer complex, where the liquid fragrance oil the fragrance oil that is not atomized into the scented mist delivered to the air outside of the atomizer complex includes collected oil that is collected and drained to a reservoir assembly. A drainage tube extends from a bottom area of the atomizer complex into the liquid fragrance oil. The device can filter the liquid fragrance oil in the reservoir assembly and the collected oil from the atomizer complex that drained down the drainage tube. The vacuum tube can suction the filtered liquid fragrance oil and the collected oil into the atomizer complex for atomization.

Miniature gas detection and purification device

A miniature gas detection and purification device is disclosed for a user to carry with himself, and includes a main body, a purification module, a gas guider and a gas detection module. The gas detection module detects gas of surrounding environment to obtain a gas detection datum, and controls the gas guider to be operated according to the gas detection datum, so that gas is inhaled into the main body and flows through the purification module for filtration and purification, and the gas purified is finally guided to a region close to the user.

Aromatic shower sachet
11771627 · 2023-10-03 ·

An aromatic shower sachet is a personal hygiene and aromatherapy device used to diffuse pleasant and therapeutic scents throughout a shower area when exposed to water or steam. The aromatic shower sachet utilizes a permeable enclosure containing a quantity of aromatic compound, a quantity of absorbent starch, a quantity of reactive base, and a quantity of acid catalyst homogenously mixed into water-reactive mixture. The water-reactive mixture is retained within the permeable enclosure such that water or water vapor may penetrate the permeable enclosure. The water reacts on-contact with the water-reactive mixture, releasing fragrances through the permeable enclosure.
