The dispensers of liquids for personal hygiene that are activated by the detection of the user's hands below the supply point, as well as those that carry out the supply by means of actuating a device, are known and therefore form part of the state of the art. I send.

Estos sistemas se utilizan en ubicaciones habitualmente de acceso sensiblemente regulado o controlado, asociado a los servicios de unos establecimientos de consumo, no pudiendo acceder a ellas desde la vía pública de manera sencilla e indiscriminada. These systems are used in locations usually with sensitively regulated or controlled access, associated with the services of consumer establishments, not being able to access them from public roads in a simple and indiscriminate manner.

Este tipo de sistemas no son aplicados en zonas al aire libre y con un acceso relativamente sencillo, como por ejemplo son los servicios de autolavado, por el más que probable deterioro por las inclemencias ambientales, así como por la acción vandálica de terceros. Incluso en este tipo de servicios se puede dar el caso del abuso del consumo del suministro de líquidos para limpieza, sin que estén regulados o limitados de alguna manera. These types of systems are not applied in outdoor areas and with relatively simple access, such as self-cleaning services, due to the more than likely deterioration due to environmental incidents, as well as the vandalism of third parties. Even in this type of services, the abuse of the supply of cleaning liquids may occur, without them being regulated or limited in any way.

Finalidad de la Invención. Purpose of the Invention

Crear un nuevo conjunto dispensador de líquidos para higiene, que disponga de una función de suministro previo pago, que regule la cantidad suministrada, con una carcasa resistente a los efectos ambientales y de los usuarios.

Descripción de la Invención. Description of the Invention

La invención preconizada se materializa en un sistema de dispensador automático de sustancias higiénicas The recommended invention is embodied in an automatic dispensing system for hygienic substances

o de limpieza con pago previo. or cleaning with prior payment.

Dicho dispensador está formado por una carcasa exterior de material resistente a las condiciones climatológicas exteriores, así como a las acciones vandálicas, siendo el material elegido habitualmente acero inoxidable. Said dispenser is formed by an outer casing of material resistant to the external weather conditions, as well as to vandalism actions, the material usually being stainless steel chosen.

Dicha carcasa exterior dispone de una cubierta practicable que tiene acceso al interior de la carcasa mediante el correspondiente sistema de apertura mediante llave o sistema que impida el acceso de individuos no autorizados. Said outer casing has a practicable cover that has access to the inside of the casing by means of the corresponding opening system by means of a key or system that prevents access by unauthorized individuals.

En el interior de la carcasa se encuentran los medios de depósito de las sustancias higiénicas a dispensar, que están formados por al menos un recipiente de material adecuado a la sustancia a contener, así como de un tamaño apropiado para quedar insertado en el interior de la carcasa. Inside the housing are the means of deposit of the hygienic substances to be dispensed, which are formed by at least one container of material suitable for the substance to be contained, as well as of an appropriate size to be inserted inside the Case.

El depósito incorpora unos medios de detección del nivel de sustancia que contiene, para poder controlar la idoneidad del funcionamiento del sistema. The tank incorporates means for detecting the level of substance it contains, in order to control the suitability of the operation of the system.

Para poder extraer del depósito las sustancias de limpieza a suministrar, el sistema utiliza unos medios de bombeo de dichas sustancias, pudiendo estar comunicado mediante una canalización inmersa en el depósito o quedando los medios de bombeo inundados en el depósito. In order to be able to extract the cleaning substances to be supplied from the tank, the system uses means for pumping said substances, being able to be communicated through a pipe immersed in the tank or the pumping means being flooded in the tank.

El accionamiento del sistema viene precedido por el pago del usuario la cantidad estipulada para elsuministro de las sustancias de limpieza. Éste paso previo se realiza en los medios de pago que se incorporan a la carcasa, y que permiten la introducción de monedas, billetes o medios de compra electrónicos desde el exterior para obtener el suministro deseado. The operation of the system is preceded by the payment of the user the amount stipulated for the supply of cleaning substances. This previous step is carried out in the means of payment that are incorporated into the housing, and that allow the introduction of electronic coins, bills or means of purchase from the outside to obtain the desired supply.

El sistema dispensador no se pondrá en funcionamiento hasta que se realicen dos posibles acciones, como es que los medios de detección que dispone dicho sistema, detecten que las manos estén a la distancia estipulada, The dispensing system will not be put into operation until two possible actions are carried out, such as that the detection means provided by said system detect that the hands are at the stipulated distance,

o que se accione el mando por acción del usuario para que comienza el dispensado de la sustancia. or that the command is activated by user action so that the dispensing of the substance begins.

Además de dichos mandos de accionamiento, en la carcasa pueden existir unos medios de selección e indicación del estado del sistema, así como de las posibles opciones de suministro, en el caso de tener más de una sustancia disponible, y del crédito disponible, u otros pasos y factores del proceso. In addition to said drive controls, there may be means for selecting and indicating the status of the system, as well as possible supply options, in the case of having more than one substance available, and of the available credit, or other steps and process factors.

Todo el funcionamiento del sistema dispensador viene gobernado por unos medios de control que se conectan a todos los elementos que aportan información sobre el funcionamiento, así como sobre los actuadores de cada elemento susceptible de realizar una función. El controlador recibirá información del nivel del depósito (o de los niveles, en caso de existir más de uno), con lo que no dejará que se cobre al usuario si no puede suministrar la sustancia por falta de nivel. También conectará con los medios de pago para saber que el crédito disponible, y con los medios de selección para ver la idoneidad de la petición. The entire operation of the dispensing system is governed by control means that are connected to all the elements that provide information on the operation, as well as on the actuators of each element capable of performing a function. The controller will receive information on the level of the deposit (or the levels, if there are more than one), which will not allow the user to be charged if the substance cannot be supplied due to lack of level. It will also connect with the means of payment to know the available credit, and with the means of selection to see the suitability of the request.

De igual manera, los medios de control se conectarán a los medios de detección y a los medios de bombeo, para que en el momento que se detecte la proximidad de las manos, se active el bombeo y se suministre la sustancia de limpieza. Alternativamente, si se dispone de mandos para el accionamiento manual por parte del usuario del principio y/o fin del suministro de las sustancias higiénicas, el sistema de control también estará conectado a dichos mandos, para que regule el funcionamiento del resto de los dispositivos. Similarly, the control means will be connected to the detection means and the pumping means, so that at the moment the proximity of the hands is detected, the pumping is activated and the cleaning substance is supplied. Alternatively, if controls are available for manual operation by the user of the beginning and / or end of the supply of the hygienic substances, the control system will also be connected to said controls, to regulate the operation of the rest of the devices.

Todos los tiempos de funcionamiento de los medios de bombeo están regulados para suministrar la cantidad programada para cada selección, pudiéndose reprogramar según los criterios elegidos por el explotador del sistema. All the operating times of the pumping means are regulated to supply the quantity programmed for each selection, being able to reprogram according to the criteria chosen by the system operator.

En la carcasa se disponen opcionalmente de indicadores de diferentes tipos que indiquen el estado del equipo, así como de la selección u otras alternativas y características del servicio. The housing optionally includes indicators of different types that indicate the status of the equipment, as well as the selection or other alternatives and service features.

De este modo obtenemos un producto ventajoso que consigue instalarse en las zonas abiertas, quedando protegido de las condiciones ambientales y de las acciones de terceros, disponiendo de un sistema de pago previo que permite regular y obtener compensación por el consumo de las sustancias suministradas. In this way we obtain an advantageous product that manages to be installed in the open areas, being protected from environmental conditions and the actions of third parties, having a prior payment system that allows regulating and obtaining compensation for the consumption of the substances supplied.
