Abstract

Electric machine for recharging the batteries of mobile telephones and other electronic devices for use in public places, characterized by an outer metal casing (1) from which hang different cables with pins (2) for fitting in the respective mobiles and electronic devices, thus allowing simultaneous and multiple recharging of several devices, after inserting a coin in the coin mechanism (3) and thanks to the supports on which said devices are placed during the charging process (4). Alternatively said supports can be replaced by enclosures or locked lockers. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Multiple battery recharge machine mobile phones and other portable electronic devices for your Use in public place.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a machine electric device designed to recharge phone batteries  phones and other portable electrical devices, such as they can be laptops, music players in any format (CD, MP3, MP4), electronic agendas (PDA), as well as digital cameras for photography or video.

The machine in the conception described here, has as an objective to be located in public places, open or closed, in order to facilitate the recharge of batteries such devices. For this, the machine has transformers of electric current adapted to the own voltage of each phone Mobile or portable device.

Background of the invention

The proliferation of mobile phones as well as of portable electronic or electrical devices has brought An essential problem, which is the recharging of your batteries when the user does not have the factory charger at hand. This problem is even more serious if we consider that each manufacturer designs its own charger, which although it often shares the same voltage, always have a configuration particular that makes it incompatible with others. Some inventions previous have opted for "universal chargers", equipped with multiple pins, which allow the user to use them in several types of devices, but not all. This solution results especially practical when traveling with different devices (mobile phone, laptop, electronic agenda, etc.).

In other cases, the manufacturers themselves offer "long-life" chargers, which properly plugged in do not they only fulfill the function of recharging, but, by way of authentic batteries, also store electricity for later use when the device's own battery has run out. But nevertheless, This option requires charging with a reduced device dimensions but relatively heavy.

The battery recharge machine described here flees the "portable" concept of previous inventions to become a fixed point of charging batteries for use in public places with a lot of people.

Description of the invention

The battery recharge machine for use The public is made up of several electric elements, Electronic and mechanical

First, as a public machine, the device features a rugged metal housing, within which houses the electrical and electronic components. In the upper part reserves a space for advertising signs. The housing can also hold a purse, of the type of which they use automatic distribution machines or "vending". Fits say, then, that this machine allows both the free recharge of batteries as payment for this service, depending on whether it is added or Not the aforementioned purse.

Multiple wires hang from the metal housing with their corresponding connection plugs, as well as some plastic holders, on which phones can be deposited phones or other devices during the recharging process. The user you must choose the plug corresponding to your mobile model or electronic device, connect to it and wait for the recharging process, meanwhile placing it in those mentioned plastic stands The choice is agreed by pressing a button that figure above each cable and plug, as the mobile connection or device to it does not automatically generate an electric flow, but this is activated by the mentioned button. Of the part bottom of the machine finally hangs a plug to connect with the power grid, which serves as power to the electrical system We describe below.

Second, the metal housing features its interior with a series of current transformers electric These convert the direct current (DC) received from the conventional mains (at an approximate voltage of 220 V) in  alternating current (AC), which is what phones need mobile and other portable electronic devices. The voltage of Output of each transformer is adjusted according to the needs of each device, varying between 5-6 V of the mobile phones, 9V music players or all 16 V of laptops.

Finally, the multiple reload process requires a microprocessor, housed inside the machine, which is responsible for activating the electric flow to the different transformers according to the buttons that have been activated, and, in their case, previous insertion of a coin in the purse. Like, why Safety reasons and energy saving, electricity does not flow constantly by the machine, once the button of a certain pin, the microprocessor then activates the input of current from the external power grid to the transformer correspondent. The microprocessor also has a counter of refills that allows to know the use of the machine.

Claims (2)

1. Electric machine for recharging the batteries of mobile phones and other electronic devices for use in public places, characterized by an outer metal casing (1) from which different cables with plugs (2) hang to fit the respective mobiles and electronic devices, thus allowing simultaneous and multiple recharging of several devices, after inserting a coin in the wallet (3) and thanks to the supports on which said devices are placed during the charging process (4). Alternatively, said supports can be replaced by closed boxes or lockers. 2. Machine for recharging batteries, according to claim 1, characterized in its interior configuration by the following elements:

\ sqbullet

Coin purse (5) that activates the charging process, that is, the current flow electric, once the corresponding coin is inserted.

\ sqbullet

Transformers (6) of direct current (DC) from the power grid (7) to which connect the machine to alternating current (AC). Transformers, one for each output cable, adjust to the output voltage depending on the device to charge, oscillating between 5-6 V for mobile phones, the 9 V of the music or MP3 players or 16V computers laptops The presence of a transformer for each cable or plug constitutes an essential aspect of the configuration of the machine, it is what allows multiple and simultaneous recharge of Batteries.

\ sqbullet

Microprocessor (8), which controls the recharge process, that is, the activation of the step current once the coin is inserted into the transformer correspondent.
