[0018] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0019] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0020] The present invention relates to a fruit based skin treatment device that is capable of determining various skin conditions of a user such as like pimples, blackheads, or cysts and accordingly prepares a fruit based paste as per the skin’s condition for allowing the user to apply the paste on the user’s skin, thus treating skin and improving the overall skin health of the user.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of fruit based skin treatment device is illustrated, comprising a transparent hollow conical housing 101 adapted to be positioned over a flat surface, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 102, installed on the housing 101 by means of an L-shaped telescopic arm 103, a display unit 104 provided on the housing 101, a chamber 105 integrated within the housing 101 enclosed by a flap attached by means of a drawer mechanism, plurality of primary nozzles attached within the chamber 105 connected with a water tank in the housing 101, a waste water compartment 106 attached with the chamber 105, plurality of infrared emitters 107 provided in the chamber 105 dry the fruit after washing, a receptacle 108 attached underneath the chamber 105 having motorized blades 109, a box 110 disposed underneath the receptacle 108, a motorized stirring rod 111 in the box 110.

[0022] The proposed device herein comprises of a transparent hollow conical housing 101 adapted to be positioned over a flat surface. The housing 101 is designed to provide a stable structure for supporting various integrated components while allowing the device to be positioned easily on the flat surface. The housing 101 is constructed from a transparent, durable material for allowing a user to view the inner workings and processes within, such as fruit processing and paste preparation, promoting user confidence in the device’s functionality.

[0023] An inbuilt microcontroller associated with the device activates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 102 installed on the housing 101 by means of an L-shaped telescopic arm 103 attached with a surface of the housing 101 by means of a ball and socket joint to determine presence of formations including pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, cysts and pustules on skin of the user. The imaging unit 102 includes an image-capturing arrangement with a set of lenses that capture multiple images of the user’s skin. These images are stored as optical data in the unit’s memory. The imaging unit 102 also houses a processor equipped with artificial intelligence protocols, enabling it to process the optical data and analyze skin features. The processor identifies key characteristics, such as color, texture, and patterns associated with skin formations like pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads, by comparing the images from a database of known skin conditions linked to the microcontroller that helps in identifying and categorizing skin issues accurately. The processor converts the extracted data into digital pulses and bits, transmitting them to the microcontroller.

[0024] The microcontroller then uses this data to actuate a display unit 104 provided on the housing 101 to display various medical conditions suffered by the user based on the determined formations. The display panel works by receiving processed data from the microcontroller, which instructs it to show specific medical conditions detected from the skin analysis. The display unit 104 includes a screen, such as an LCD or OLED panel, controlled by display drivers that convert the digital signals from the microcontroller into visual information. The microcontroller sends data in the form of electrical pulses and digital bits representing the skin conditions. The display drivers interpret this data and adjust the pixels on the screen to visually represent the information in a user-friendly format, such as text or icons to the user.

[0025] A chamber 105 is integrated within the housing 101, enclosed by a flap attached by means of a drawer mechanism, which is opened to insert a fruit into the chamber 105. A plurality of primary nozzles attached within the chamber 105 are connected with a water tank in the housing 101 to spray water onto the fruit for washing the fruit.

[0026] The primary nozzle used herein is an electronic nozzle that operates through precise control facilitated by a solenoid valve actuated by the microcontroller. When the microcontroller sends an electrical signal to the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field that moves the valve's armature, allowing pressurized water from a connected tank to flow through the nozzle to spray water onto the fruit for washing the fruit. After washing of the fruit, the waste water is collected into a waste water compartment 106 attached with the chamber 105 via openings provided in the chamber 105.

[0027] Plurality of infrared emitters 107 are provided in the chamber 105 that are activated by the microcontroller to dry the fruit after washing. The infrared emitters 107 in the chamber 105 work by emitting infrared radiation to dry the fruit after washing. These emitters 107 consist of infrared light sources, such as LED or incandescent bulbs that produce infrared light when an electric current passes through them. The infrared light heats the surface of the fruit, causing moisture to evaporate. The microcontroller activates the infrared emitters 107 by sending signals that control their power, ensuring that they operate at the correct intensity and duration for efficient drying. The emitted infrared radiation penetrates the fruit’s surface, transferring heat to the moisture, which then evaporates into the surrounding air. This process effectively dries the fruit without causing damage, preparing it for further processing.

[0028] A receptacle 108 is attached underneath the chamber 105 having motorized blades 109 for crushing the dried fruit into a powder form. The blade 109 is powered by a DC (direct current) motor that is capable of converting the electric current provided from an external force into mechanical force for providing the required power to the blade 109, thus crushing the dried fruit into a powder form. The fruit is received in the receptacle 108 by means of an iris hole provided between the chamber 105 and the receptacle 108.

[0029] A box 110 is disposed underneath the receptacle 108 that receives the powder from the receptacle 108 by means of an iris lid provided between the receptacle 108 and the box 110. The iris lid comprises of a ring and a blade with multiple protrusions. The ring is fabricated with multiple grooves. The protrusions on the blades engage with the grooves on the ring in order to link the movement of the ring and blades. As the ring rotates, the protrusions move within the grooves to open or close the lid according to the degree of rotation of the ring. The ring is installed with the motor that is actuated by the microcontroller for rotating the ring with a specified speed to regulate the opening and closing of the lid in order to give access to the powder from the receptacle 108 to the box 110.

[0030] A motorized stirring rod 111 is arranged inside the box 110 that mixes the powder with solvent dispensed from a partition within the box 110 for creating a paste. The motorized stirring rod 111 works by using an electric motor to rotate a stirring mechanism within the box 110, mixing the fruit powder with a solvent to create a smooth paste. The motor is connected to the stirring rod 111 via gears that transfers rotational motion to the rod. As the motor is activated, the stirring rod 111 spins, agitating the contents of the box 110, ensuring the powder and solvent are thoroughly combined. The rod's design often includes blades 109 that help break up clumps, facilitating even mixing. The paste is then dispensed via a secondary nozzle provided on the housing 101, connected with the box 110 by means of a conduit.

[0031] The conduit is configured with a pump for dispensing the paste. The pump consists of a motor and an impeller. When the motor is activated, it drives the impeller, which pushes the paste through the conduit. The pump generates pressure that forces the paste through the tube and out of the nozzle. The microcontroller controls the pump's operation, regulating the flow rate to ensure the paste is dispensed at the right speed and consistency. The pump ensures smooth, efficient transfer of the paste, allowing for precise application through the nozzle.

[0032] The device is associated with a battery for providing the required power to the electronically and electrically operated components including the microcontroller, electrically powered sensors, motorized components and alike of the device. The battery within the device is preferably a lithium-ion-battery which is a rechargeable battery and recharges by deriving the required power from an external power source. The derived power is further stored in form of chemical energy within the battery, which when required by the components of the device derive the required energy in the form of electric current for ensuring smooth and proper functioning of the device.

[0033] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the conical housing 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be positioned over the user's skin, wherein the inbuilt microcontroller activates the imaging unit 102 that captures multiple images of the skin’s surface. These images are stored as optical data in the memory of the imaging unit 102 for detecting formations such as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, and pustules. The microcontroller compares the captured data to a database of skin conditions, identifying and categorizing the formations. The microcontroller activates the display unit 104 to show the medical conditions found on the user’s skin. Simultaneously, the user’s skin condition data is stored in the linked database in the form of individual profiles, allowing for tracking and analysis over time. Next, the fruit to be used for the treatment is inserted into a chamber 105 equipped with primary nozzles that spray water to wash the fruit and the waste compartment 106 collects the excess water. Infrared emitters 107 within the chamber 105 are activated by the microcontroller to dry the fruit, preparing it for the next step. Once dried, a motorized stirring rod 111 in a receptacle 108 crushes the fruit into powder, which is then mixed with a solvent dispensed from a partition in the box 110. The resulting paste is dispensed through a secondary nozzle, where it is applied to the user’s skin.

[0034] Although the field of the invention has been described herein with limited reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense.
