The holes present in the octagonal base allow the insertion of a conductive wire and a non-conductive wire. In this way, the electronic device developed provides an intelligent textile solution, since LEDs or a PCB board equipped with sensors are attached to the sequin that provide environmental information about the room where the electronic device or the user is located.

    [0003] TECHNICAL SECTOR
    [0005] The present invention consists of an electronic device made up of a spangle for application on textiles, where said spangle incorporates different electronic components, for example, digital sensors or LEDs.
    [0007] The object of the invention is to provide an electronic device for the realization of an intelligent textile solution with the capacity to acquire environmental or user parameters, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, luminosity, etc., as well as intelligent textile solutions with the ability to illuminate by integrating the LEDs incorporated into the sequins of the electronic devices of the present invention.
    [0009] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0011] Currently, sequins based on FSD ( Functional Sequin Device) technology are known, which have a circular shape and only allow the incorporation of an SMD component ( Surface Mount Devices ). or a monochromatic LED (light-emitting diode ). In fact, there are no known FSD electronic sequins that incorporate RGB LEDs ( Red, Green, Blue).
    [0013] The main disadvantage of the known FSD sequins is that, due to their structure and size, they do not allow to incorporate more than one SMD component or a PCB ( Printed Board Circuit), where it is possible to include a more complex circuit and one or more sensors that allow the measurement of multiple parameters.
    [0015] Due to all of the above, the present patent applicant detects the need to develop an electronic device that allows the inclusion of multiple sensors and / or RGB-type LEDs, to give rise to intelligent and functional textiles capable of acquiring information on environmental or user parameters and / or providing luminous elements, and which in turn makes it possible to incorporate the device into the textile or flexible substrate through an automated manufacturing process.
    [0017] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0019] The object of the invention concerns an electronic device in the form of sequins that allows to incorporate on them different types of digital sensors or LEDs to apply them on textiles or flexible substrates by means of an automated embroidery process.
    [0021] Advantageously, the textiles in which the electronic device of the present invention is incorporated in an embroidered way will have the ability to acquire environmental or user parameters (temperature, humidity, air quality, luminosity) or the ability to light up due to the presence of at least one LED.
    [0023] The novel configuration and structure of the proposed electronic device enables the incorporation of a PCB in it, which allows the inclusion of complex circuits and a plurality of sensors for the measurement of parameters. Additionally, the electronic device allows incorporating at least one RGB type LED, surpassing other known devices that only allow incorporating monochromatic LEDs. All this in a device with an optimized size, not bulky, which allows to obtain a very comfortable and functional smart textile.
    [0025] The electronic device of the present invention is made up of at least one spangle and at least one electronic component, and an electrically conductive wire associated with an external source of energy.
    [0027] The spangle is formed by an octagonal base whose apothem is at least 6 mm, said octagonal base being provided with a central hole for attachment to the textile, and a plurality of peripheral holes. In this way, through the central hole and the peripheral holes, a non-conductive wire and an electrically conductive wire are introduced, respectively, to fix it to the fabric or textile material. Subsequently, the terminals of the electrically conductive wire are connected to the external power source.
    [0028] The octagonal base of the sequin preferably has an apothem of between 6 and 9 mm so that, advantageously, the octagonal shape offers a greater surface area compared to other known sequins, of round or square geometry, which allows the inclusion of more than an electronic component in the device.
    [0030] The developed sequin is integrated by different layers providing adequate stability, while optimizing the sequin processing on the embroidery machine. Therefore, the octagonal base of the sequin is made up of:
    [0032] -A base layer of polymeric material reinforcement.
    [0034] -A polyimide layer, preferably having a thickness between 10 | im and 30 | im.
    [0036] -A plurality of copper conductive tracks arranged on the polyimide layer, preferably printed, where the conductive tracks have a thickness preferably between 10 µm and 30 µm.
    [0038] Optionally, the octagonal base has a support layer of polyether sulfone at least 300 µm thick on which the reinforcing base layer of polymeric material is located.
    [0040] The conductive track is provided with two ends which show a chemical deposition of gold and nickel. Nickel's function is to act as a diffusion barrier while gold is used for its excellent surface quality. Optionally, the conductive tracks are covered with an epoxy material or also called epoxy which is a type of finish known as a solder mask or anti-solder mask.
    [0042] In this way, the free end of the conductive track is connected to the electronic component, and the opposite end is located coincident with one of the peripheral holes of the octagonal base through which the electrically conductive wire will be introduced.
    [0044] Thus, the sequin is embroidered to the textile through the central hole using a non-conductive thread and through the peripheral holes using the electrically conductive thread.
    [0045] Advantageously, the octagonal base of the sequin has on its perimeter at least two notches arranged on opposite sides to facilitate fastening to the textile. Likewise, the notches on the octagonal base allow the correct orientation during the embroidery of the sequin to the textile, avoiding its bending and / or bad orientation.
    [0047] In one of the preferred embodiments of the invention, the electronic component of the electronic device of the invention is made up of a printed circuit board PCB with dimensions of at least 10 x 10 mm. In fact, the developed sequins offer a considerable surface area - greater than that provided by the well-known conventional FSD sequins -, allowing the soldering of any PCB with a size of 15x15 mm or even larger.
    [0049] Advantageously, a plurality of analog sensors, digital sensors, passive components and / or LEDs, be they RGB LEDs or monochromatic LEDs, can be incorporated on the PCB board. In this embodiment, the conductive tracks of the PCB are provided with copper and a chemical deposition of gold and nickel along their full length.
    [0051] In the embodiment of the electronic device incorporating a PCB as an electronic component on the spangle it should be noted that the PCB board is linked to the octagonal base of the spangle by soldering at the free ends of the conductive tracks.
    [0053] In a second preferred embodiment of the invention, the electronic component associated with the spangle is made up of at least one RGB LED.
    [0055] Preferably, the electrically conductive wire is silver-coated polyamide or polyester. In this way, the sequins are attached to the textile by embroidering with conductive silver-coated polyamide threads. Both the spangle and the yarn have conductive properties on their surface, and the connection between both elements is made by mechanical contact, while the electronic components (PCB board, sensors, LEDS) are attached to the surface of the spangle through a welding process.
    [0057] For all the above, the electronic device obtained offers:
    [0058] - A textile solution with the capacity to acquire environmental or user parameters, such as: temperature, humidity, air quality, luminosity, etc. or
    [0059] - A textile solution with the ability to illuminate by integrating LEDs into its own structure.
    [0061] These textile solutions are applicable in fields such as automotive, clothing, construction, architecture, advertising, home textiles, etc., being able to combine different devices with different electronic components to obtain new functionalities.
    [0063] Advantageously, the device of the invention does not require additional casings or cables, with the consequent material savings, and presenting a lower weight and reduced complexity compared to other devices.
    [0065] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
