- the electric motor is an electromechanical converter that converts electrical power into mechanical power.
- the electric motor is typically connected to the engine controller and is dedicated to the power required to generate pressurized air through the compressor to inflate a vehicle tire individually.
- the battery is designed accordingly in such a way that it can provide sufficient power to supply the electric motor with electricity.
- the battery is rechargeable, in particular by means of induction.
- the battery can be recharged for multiple uses of the roadside assistance device. Recharging can be done via external battery recharging systems. Most preferably, however, recharging is via induction, which allows the batteries to remain in the roadside assistance device while they are being charged.
- the breakdown assistance device can be made ready for use again in a simple manner.
- the device comprises an interface for the power supply, which is designed at least to charge the battery and/or to supply the pressure source with power.
- the batteries can advantageously be recharged via the interface without having to be removed from the device.
- the roadside assistance device may not be sufficient charged batteries are additionally supplied with electricity.
- the interface is preferably an interface selected from the group consisting of a USB interface, a Lightning interface, a Thunderbolt interface, a standard socket and a cigarette lighter in a vehicle.
- the breakdown assistance device can either have the interface for connecting a cable or a cable that has the interface at the end.
- a PowerBank is a mobile power source that can be used to charge the roadside assistance device on the go.
- the breakdown assistance device can be used much more flexibly, since it can be used independently of the power source and can be flexibly recharged.
- the battery can preferably apply at least 5 watt hours, preferably at least 20 watt hours. In a typical application, the battery is designed for at least 20 watt hours, whereby 120 watts should be applied for 10 minutes in order to be able to optimally seal and inflate the vehicle tire. The quicker the vehicle tire is repaired, the more beneficial it is for the user.
- the battery can apply a power of at least 60 watts, in particular 80 watts.
- this performance over time is optimal to seal and inflate a vehicle tire.
- the breakdown assistance device has a display device, in particular a battery level indicator.
- the display device can be a display, for example, through which the roadside assistance device can display relevant information. For example, the filling level of the sealant or the process of sealing and pumping up can be displayed.
- the user can read important information that he needs to operate the device.
- the display device is particularly preferably a battery level indicator, which shows how full the at least one battery is. The user can thus determine whether the battery level of the roadside assistance device is sufficient, whether the device can be fully used for a next use.
- the device preferably comprises an electronic control unit, which controls at least the battery and the pressure source, and preferably also the interface.
- the electronic control unit communicates with the at least one battery and the pressure source, such as the compressor, to control or regulate the power supply. It is conceivable that the electronic control unit is connected to the display device described, via which the user can control the individual components of the breakdown assistance device. It is advantageous that individual components can be operated and controlled individually.
- the breakdown assistance device has at least one lamp, in particular a flashlight.
- a lamp can be useful, for example, at dusk or in the dark to facilitate the use of the roadside assistance device.
- a lamp can display information.
- a lamp can indicate to the user whether the sealing process is complete.
- the use of such a lamp is made much easier.
- the device comprises a supply opening for supplying a sealant, which can be controlled in particular via the electronic control unit.
- the feed opening usually has a closure or cap that can be unscrewed when in use.
- the sealing cap protects against unwanted dirt.
- the supply opening is particularly preferably connected to the electronic control unit, so that the supply of the sealant can be controlled or regulated. It is also conceivable that a sensor is attached to the feed opening, which can measure how much sealant is still running through the feed opening. It is advantageous for the user that the sensor can be used to determine whether it is possible to switch to pump mode with air only.
- the device comprises a sealant container, it being possible in particular for the supply of the sealant to be controlled via the electronic control unit described.
- the sealant is stored in the sealant container, wherein the container can either be installed in the housing or attached to the housing, in particular to the supply opening described.
- a major advantage is that the sealant canister can be more easily replaced outside of the housing. When this is empty it can be unscrewed from the feed opening and a new container screwed on. Overall, the breakdown assistance device can therefore be used several times.
- the present invention is directed to a method for sealing and inflating vehicle tires with a described breakdown assistance device, having the steps:
- the method is advantageous for the user since he can use the breakdown assistance device flexibly and then recharge it in the vehicle.
- the breakdown assistance device is usually stored in a vehicle, for example in the trunk. In the event of a puncture, the device is deployed to seal and inflate the vehicle tire. If the battery has become empty as a result of this use, it can be recharged. For this purpose, the device can then be stored, for example in a storage compartment in the vehicle and supplied with power via the interface. However, it is also conceivable for the storage compartment to have an inductive surface, via which the breakdown assistance device is charged.
- the invention relates to a system for charging a breakdown assistance device, comprising a vehicle with an inductive charging surface and a breakdown assistance device described, wherein the breakdown assistance device is arranged in the charging area of the inductive charging surface in the vehicle.
- the breakdown assistance device is always ready for flexible use, since the device is always supplied with sufficient energy while it is being stored in the vehicle. The user can thus use the roadside assistance device flexibly anywhere.
