    DESCRIPTION
    Electric device for dispensing volatile substances Objective of the invention
    The present invention relates to an electric device for evaporating and dispensing volatile substances, such as perfumes and insecticides, using thermal energy.
    An object of the invention is to provide a volatile substance dispensing device, capable of automatically selecting its evaporation configuration (temperature and time) for different types of volatile substances, such device can operate with different types of volatile substances and various evaporation patterns.
    Background of the invention
    Many different types of volatile substance dispensing devices are known, which are electronically controlled such that, the device itself or the user, establish evaporation periods and intervals to dispense a perfume or an insecticide into the environment.
    However, in this type of devices the time settings are established without taking into account the composition of the volatile substances and without taking into account the remaining amount of volatile substance, and it may happen that when the volatile substance is finished the device is still on, thereby unnecessarily consuming energy.
    On the other hand, current electric evaporators operate at fixed temperatures during the entire evaporation periods, so that volatile substance designers have to find a chemical composition that evaporates correctly at a fixed temperature and for a specific period of time. Therefore, the current fragrance developments in this field are complicated and expensive, and the choice of ingredients is reduced.
    It could be said that, in the state of the art, it is the volatile substance and the containers that have to be designed and adapted to meet the working conditions of the existing evaporators with a reduced range of operating configurations,

    such that the possibilities of the evaporator are in fact a limitation for the fragrance designer.
    Summary of the invention
    The present invention is defined in the attached independent claims, and provides an evaporator device capable of automatically configuring a specific temperature and a dispensing time for a particular type of volatile substance to be dispensed.
    According to the invention, a wide collection of fragrances and / or insecticides is provided, and the device includes detection means to detect the type of substance supplied to the device, and to establish a specific evaporation configuration for that substance.
    Therefore, one aspect of the invention is an electric device for dispensing volatile substances, comprising a housing and a container or spare part of volatile substance detachably coupled with the housing. In the housing, heating means are arranged to heat the volatile substance to improve its evaporation, and control means to control the operation of the heating means according to a heating program.
    According to the invention, the device further comprises suitable detection means for detecting an intrinsic characteristic of the container and / or of the volatile substance, in which that intrinsic characteristic can consist of: the color of a part of the container, the shape of a part of the container, the material of the container or the color of the volatile substance.
    The control means are adapted to execute two or more heating programs, in which each heating program is adapted to control the temperature and the activation time of the heating means. The control means are further adapted to execute a specific heating program for an intrinsically detected characteristic.
    The device of the invention automatically detects the type of replacement and establishes a predetermined suitable temperature and timing for that particular filling and a volatile substance contained therein.

    The use of a volatile substance is optimized, since the situation that the filling is not fully utilized is resolved, and the situation in which the device is on for a long time is spent by trying to evaporate a empty fill is prevented.
    There is no need to design the chemical composition of the fragrance to operate at a specific temperature. On the other hand, once a fragrance or several fragrances have been freely designed, it is the device that is programmed during its manufacture to function properly for each type of fragrance. This allows an optimal design of the fragrance in relation to the cost and the choice of ingredients.

    The container (3) can be obtained from a thermoplastic material, which can be colored or transparent, or partially or completely translucent, so that the color of the volatile substance is visible through said transparent or translucent part. Alternatively, the container (3) is metallic to improve the temperature transfer.
    As for the volatile substance, this may consist of a gel composition or a wax, and a protective foil is provided on the open base of the container, which is detached or perforated (for example with the lid) for activation of the container . Alternatively, the volatile substance is a liquid, and a vapor permeable membrane (9) covers the open base of the container.
    The device (1) comprises detection means (not shown) suitable for detecting: the color of a part of the container, the shape of a part of the container, the material of the container, the color of the volatile substance, or any other intrinsic characteristic of the container or volatile substance.
    In a preferred embodiment, the detection means is a color sensor arranged to feel the color of a part of the container.
    In another preferred embodiment, the container has a transparent area, and the detection means is a color sensor arranged to feel the color of the volatile substance through said transparent area.
    In the market there are different types of color sensors, for example for this application you can use an RGB sensor or a photocell.
