    Aerosol dispensing system for vehicles, predictive, automatic and adjustable, via bluetooth communication.
    Field of application of the invention:
    S The system included in the present invention has application within the chemical industry sector which, in addition to the synthesis and commercialization of different types of aerosols (air fresheners, odor removers, insecticides, etc.), design and manufacture dispensing systems for said aerosols. Specifically, this invention refers to an aerosol dispensing system intended for use preferably inside the vehicle interior.
    10
    Object of the Invention:
    fifteen The present invention, as expressed in the title of the present specification, refers to a predictive and automatic aerosol dispenser system, preferably for use in vehicles. More particularly, the object of the present invention is focused on the definition of a dispensing system, which is connected to the electrical system of the cars, preferably through the electric socket of the lighter thereof, and whose communication with the user to produce Downloads in a predictive, automatic and adjustable way is done by using bluetooth technology.
    20 25 The system allows the diffusion of an aerosol charge (preferably air freshener or removes odors) directly inside the vehicle's interior or through the vehicle's own ventilation circuit. The system has a diffusion control device that allows the emission of an aerosol spray in a predictive way, prior to the occupation of the vehicle by the users (driver V / or companions), V likewise of the emission Aerosol discharging system can be automatically and adjustable during normal driving and use of the vehicle, with bluetooth communication to any mobile device with a control application installed for this purpose.
    In addition, the system is articulated to allow optimal orientation of the device and the emission of the aerosol inside the passenger compartment, and thus adapt it to the different possible locations of the lighter-type electrical connections available in vehicles.
    30 Although the preferred use of this invention is for the interior passenger compartment of motor vehicles, it can also be used in other spaces, both for domestic and office use, or other enclosures for both public and private use.
    Background of the invention:
    35 40 Currently in the market, there are different types of systems and devices intended to contain and dispense aerosols inside a passenger compartment. In addition, said aerosols can be of a very different type: gelatinous solids, volatile fluids, etc., and are normally constituted by a transport medium and a concentrate, which can have various active ingredients: air freshener, odor remover, insecticide, etc. Specifically, in relation to the present invention, we will focus on the different systems and devices
    Aerosol dispensers inside existing vehicles, as well as their different design features and operating principle, compared to the one presented in this patent.
    The object of the present invention does not refer to the procedure for obtaining the mixture (aerosol), but to the method for its diffusion in a predictive, automatic and adjustable way, inside a passenger compartment, preferably a vehicle although it is also Applicable to other rooms. However, other patents studied, such as CN20131375960, refer to obtaining a mixture of fresh air and aerosol product, by means of a catalyst process that allows oxygen to be obtained continuously mixed with a natural flavoring agent. Other patents refer to the aerosol formulation, which are also not subject to the present invention. An example of this is the CN103071176 patent that defines the chemical formula for an aerosol product for use in vehicles based on formulas of traditional Chinese medicine.
    In relation to dispensing systems designed for use in vehicles, we can indicate that there is a set of them characterized by being integrated into the vehicle's own aerator system. Thus, in DE19847651, EPOn0925, P200402627 and P200200988 a series of air freshener dispensing devices for vehicles that are integrated into the grid of the vehicle aeration tubes is described. The problem with these devices is that, as they are integrated into the aeration system, they are not accessible by the user under normal conditions of use, nor can they be installed afterwards on vehicles in which it was not already provided or are already equipped as standard. with the.
    In the utility models U9601471, U9700889, U9800321, U9900813, U9902960, U200101719, U200702222 and U20OB02525, as well as in the devices presented in two patents mentioned above, systems integrated in the aeration circuit of the vehicle itself are described, or distributed The spray through it, and therefore being integrated, is not manipulable by the user, that is, neither removable nor removable, and also cannot be used afterwards on any other vehicle in which it was not planned a priori. integration, in the vehicle's own aeration circuit, that aerosol dispensing system.
    Unlike the integrated systems mentioned so far, there are other types of dispensing devices that can be installed on any vehicle. Among these portable and removable devices, we can distinguish two groups: those that are not connected to the electrical circuit of the car and those that are, usually through the cigarette lighter plug of the same, existing in virtually all models.
    Devices not connected to the electrical circuit normally base their operation on the evaporation of a volatile fluid or a gelatinous substance. There are numerous devices of this type on the market, with different geometries and anchors, such as those described in patents HUT56002, CN101277723, FR19950012191, EP1031446, EP1721767, EP1S9S552, EP1486365, W02003ES00179 and W0200S056063, and in utility models7 and 10 U2003014S7. The regulation of the quantity of product is obtained through the regulation of some opening element, which connects the interior space where the air freshener is and the exterior, as explained in US2004129742, which is regulated by a turn of the part upper (head) of the device, being able to close completely to avoid the expense of the product when the vehicle is not, is in use; or, by turning the aerosol continent itself, which allows a greater or lesser amount of product to come out, as described in CA2S22324 or GB2400036. In addition, other of these devices, such as GB2357974 and W02007Nl50454, can accommodate and dispense two different fragrances.
    As for the device anchoring system, in the utility models U200102665, U200400149 and U200400899 different fixing or clipping systems of the device on said grids are defined.
    Normally these devices are coupled or mounted on the aeration circuit grid, to favor evaporation of the oil and its distribution through the passenger compartment. The amount of aerosol diffused to the cabin is controlled by regulating the amount of air that enters the air freshener, as described in GB2263404, U200100393, U200100890 and U200101426. In other systems, the diffusion is produced by the rupture of small sheets (thin layers of paper, cardboard, cloth, plastic, etc.) that, as they break, spread a certain amount of aerosol in the environment (GB2490098) . Other devices include a system to favor the distribution of the aerosol, blades or propeller type, activated by the airflow of the vehicle aeration system, such as that described in the inventions U200202224 and U200600315. Specifically, in this last invention, a ball joint is also defined which allows the orientation of the dispenser with respect to the ventilation grill in which it is coupled. However, in none of the inventions studied, both that fit the ventilation grille and those that fit the vehicle lighter (and that will be described later) have defined a type of articulation, as described in this p Attentively, which allows the orientation of the dispensing system with respect to the electrical outlet of the vehicle. Another device that allows the regulation of the amount of aerosol emitted is that indicated in the KR20130101808 patent, which consists of a fresh air and air conditioning emission system consisting of two cavities, an opening cavity connected to the outside, and a cavity of spray housing. the regulation of the emission of said aerosol is achieved by turning a control unit that allows the opening or closing of the connection between both cavities. Similar to this operation, the following patents define devices also constituted by two cavities, in which the regulation is also obtained by means of an opening / closing element that connects input and output: KR20130100509, KR20130080119, KR20130029156, KR20130029153 and KR20130026080, KR20110003848. In some patents similar to the previous ones, such as KR20110135744, the air freshener product includes a sterilizing agent to eliminate germs, diffusing the product by means of a blower through the air conditioning system of the car itself.
    Other utility models include devices that include double functionality, as well as a dispenser, such as allowing a support for mobile phones (U200402634) or a melody and / or sound message player (W02011117428). Other patents also state that the device has a decorative purpose, as indicated in CN102448503 or US2010203091, with a decorative form made of a type of polymer impregnated with the air freshener that diffuses into the environment.
    The problem of the devices described so far, as they are not connected to the electrical circuit of the vehicle, and normally do not have any type of power or supply of electrical energy, is that its operation is linked to the use of the vehicle's aeration system. Thus, unlike the system described in the present invention, they are not in any case a predictive type dispenser, since it is not possible to produce with them a discharge before the user accesses the vehicle and operates the aeration system. Likewise, the greater or lesser aerosol compensation is linked to the proper functioning of said aeration system, and to other variables such as the temperature in the passenger compartment, which affect the evaporation of the air freshener, making it difficult to automate and regulate the discharge Spray
    As for the devices connected to the electric circuit of the vehicle itself, they do so through one of the different lighter-type electrical sockets in most current vehicles. In the inventions described in U9600819 and U200101393 modifications and better are claimed in said connection system. As for the way to emit the air freshener, or similar product, inside the vehicle, certain devices use the electric energy obtained from the vehicle's own electrical circuit, with which a series of heat generators are fed (normally electrical resistance) with which they favor the evaporation of the substance, and therefore its diffusion in the cabin, as already described in different inventions such as in US5788931, U9902786, U200502358, P960198 and AU2009100795. In addition, the heat source that favors the evaporation of the product can have a decorative function, as in U56099137 or US2002176704, since said heat source a light bulb that in turn illuminates a translucent decorative cover or the transparent bottle itself spray, respectively. While other devices use a discharge ejector pump, such as those indicated in inventions U8702606 and U200701865. Other examples of devices connected to the cigarette lighter of the vehicle, in which the air freshener diffuses into the environment with the help of a small fan, electrically operated, are those defined in US4808347 and in US2010326280.
    Finally, in terms of dispensers of predictive type, the patent W02007GB04663 describes an invention consisting of a device which defines a system capable of detecting bad odors to produce the emission when necessary. The need for an effective irregular or regular release of the air freshener is equally applicable to other active ingredients, such as odor neutralizers and antibacterial agents. Other devices do not have predictive functionality but a recharge warning system when the aerosol is running out, as indicated in US2002176810.
    As for systems with bluetooth components, the CN201683273 patent describes a device with bluetooth connectivity in which the user can control the download through the communication of his mobile-hands-free and the device. However, unlike the present invention, that download control must be performed by the user, once located inside the vehicle, while in the present invention, the first download is done automatically and predictively, upon detecting the device the proximity of the user of the vehicle, and before it enters the passenger compartment. There are other automatic devices that regulate the discharge of the aerosol based on parameters monitored to the user (pulse, respiratory rate, etc.), such as that described in W02004044861, but, unlike the one described in the present invention, they also require the user to has located in the vehicle and connected the different sensors to monitor these parameters. W02013088205 also includes an automatic system for activating the dispenser by recognizing the movement of the human body, but it is difficult to apply in vehicles, where the user must be focused on driving, although it would be very useful to control, at a distance. l, said devices placed in buildings. In patents US7073731 and EP2143576, the devices include communication systems, including bluetooth, but they are not included in their claims nor are they defined so that the device is predictive, automatic and adjustable like that of the present invention.
    In the invention described herein, an aerosol dispensing system is also described, in this case of use for vehicles, with which an effective release of the air freshening agent is intended, since the emission thereof is done in a predictive, fair manner. before users are located inside the vehicle, and then automatically and adjustable during the course of the car, all thanks to a bluetooth communication with a mobile device with an installed application suitable for this purpose .
    Explanation of the invention:
    The system described in the present invention consists of an aerosol dispenser, predictive, automatic and adjustable, for vehicles, of the type of car dispensers that are connected to the electric circuit of the vehicle itself by means of the cigarette lighter type electrical outlet, or additional connection similar to this, present in most current vehicles.
    The system is formed by an eléd: rich connector that attaches to said socket. Through this connector, the different circuits present in the device are fed, including a bluetooth signal reception system, an energy storage system and a control system, as well as a si: stema of action with which the aerosol discharges occur. In addition, said aerosol is; it is housed in a compartment designed for that purpose, being removable to be able to change it when it runs out or to modify the type of fragrance or active ingredient used in it.
    The subsystems that constitute this dispensing system, predictive, automatic and adjustable, as well as its functionality, is described below:
    1) Connection subsystem, consisting of electrical terminals with the appropriate form for the dispenser to connect to the electric socket of the lighter, or similar connection, of the vehicle. In this way, this subsystem fulfills two functions, since it serves to fix the dispenser in the vehicle and also so that the electric current from the car battery feeds the different electrical subsystems existing in the dispensing system
    2) Electrical subsystems: these are different subsystems comprising the following electrical and electronic circuits whose function is detailed below:
    to. Bluetooth circuit; This circuit is formed by different components that allow the emission and reception of a bluetooth signal of any mobile device that has such technology
    b. Electrical control circuit for first discharge: this circuit is responsible for activating the first discharge by detecting a bluetooth signal. Said signal is emitted by a mobile device of the user of the vehicle, in such a way that the presence of the user is detected, before accessing it, proceeding to perform a first predictive download, prior to the user accessing the interior of the cabin. This detection is achieved by the bluetooth circuit, mentioned in section 2 (a.
    C. Electric energy storage circuit: this circuit stores enough energy so that the dispensing system can perform the first discharge, since this is prior to the start-up of the vehicle. This circuit is rechargeable, and it is recharged once the vehicle is started, when it is connected to the connection subsystem, and is constituted by a small micro-battery or by an array of high capacity capacitors (ultracapacitors, supercapacitors, ... )
    d. Electric discharge control circuit: this circle is responsible for managing the aerosol discharge, once the vehicle has been started,
    allowing automatic and adjustable control of these discharges, both in intensity and frequency. The control can be carried out by means of an electromechanical regulator that defines different levels of discharge intensity and / or discharge time, or by a mobile application that communicates with the electrical control circuit through the signal received in the bluetooth circuit
    3) Subsystem of action: it is formed by a small spray, pressurized, replaceable, in which the active substance is stored (air freshener, removes odors, etc.), with an opening / closing valve, and an electric motor that acts on said valve, producing its opening and closing to effect a discharge. The operating subsystem is controlled by the electrical control circuits, thus allowing all discharges to be adjustable in intensity and frequency, according to the needs and requirements of the user.
    4) Joint subsystem: the dispensing system has a mechanical joint between the connection subsystem and the rest of the assembly that allows free orientation between the connector and the rest of the dispenser. In other inventions, ball-type joints are defined that allow the free orientation of the dispenser with respect to the ventilation grid, but in none of the inventions studied, a type of joint is defined that allows the device to be oriented with respect to the outlet (lighter), as defined in this patent. This articulation fulfills a double function, since on the one hand it allows to facilitate the connection of the device in the different electrical connections type lighter existing in the vehicles, and on the other hand, it allows the optimal orientation of the device for a correct emission of the aerosol inside of the interior of the vehicle.
    Description of the drawings
    Next, to facilitate the understanding of this report, the following figure is attached at the end of it:
    Figure 1 represents a scheme of the dispensing system constituted by the subsystems and elements described in the present invention.
    Preferred embodiment of the invention:
    A description of the embodiment of the invention follows, with reference to the numbering adopted in the figure:
    The aerosol dispensing system described in the present invention (figure 1) is constituted by a casing (1), preferably plastic, although it may have some metallic structural support element, and for its electrical connection. The different elements necessary for the operation of the dispenser are arranged inside the enclosure (1).
    The enclosure (1) includes, at one of its ends, a connector (2) to allow the coupling of the dispensing system to the lighter-type electrical outlet, or connection similar to this, present in most current vehicles. Said connector (2), by means of the appropriate electric pins, provides the; different circuits that constitute the system of dispensing of the necessary electrical energy coming from the battery of the vehicle.
    The different electrical circuits, integrated inside the enclosure (1) are the following:
    First, there is an electrical control circuit (3) formed by at least one set of bluetooth emitters / receivers that allows it to be connected to any mobile device that has such technology. Through said bluetooth connection, the proximity of the vehicle user is detected, activating a first download of the dispensing system in a predictive way, prior to the occupation of the vehicle. The electrical control circuit also allows to regulate automatically, both in frequency and intensity, the successive discharges of the dispensing system during normal use of the vehicle.
    Secondly, there is an electrical energy storage circuit (4), rechargeable by the vehicle's battery once it has been started, and capable of storing the electrical energy necessary to perform the first predictive discharge, since this is prior when starting the vehicle. This circuit consists of a small micro-battery
    or by an array of high capacity capacitors (ultracapacitors, supercapacitors,
    or similar), or other small electronic components that fulfill the same electric energy storage function.
    The enclosure (1) has a housing as a fixing support (5) for the aerosol (7). This support (5) allows an aerosol (7) to be housed inside it, so that it can be removed from it, so that it is replaceable.
    In the housing (1), and in particular in the fixing support (5), an aerosol opening / closing system is also integrated, as a valve (6), which allows said aerosol to remain closed, opening only for produce the download The aerosol opening / closing valve (6) is operated by an electric motor (8), or a similar system, which is driven by the electric control circuit (3) in a predictive manner, for the first discharge, and automatically and adjustable, for all successive downloads.
    The electrical energy necessary to drive the motor (8) comes from the electrical storage circuit (4) to carry out the first discharge or from the vehicle's own electrical circuit, once it has been started.
    The dispensing system has a mechanical joint (9) between the connection subsystem and the rest of the assembly that allows free orientation between the connector and the rest of the dispenser, which allows the optimal orientation of the device and the emission of the aerosol inside of the passenger compartment, V thus adapting it to the different possible locations of the lighter-type electrical connections available in vehicles.
