Description

DESCRIPTION

Defibrillator cabinet

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention refers to a cabinet to contain AED automatic external defibrillators of the type intended to be preferably located on public roads, preserving the equipment from inclement weather, although they can also be located indoors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of cabinets for housing DEA defibrillators are known, such as those described in utility models ES1144283U and ES1186785U.

These cabinets have a drawer-shaped body open on the front face where an access door is located that allows the AED defibrillator equipment to be easily removed for immediate use.

Its function is to preserve the defibrillator in the best possible conditions to avoid failures at the time of use.

One of the problems that these cabinets present is the regulation of the interior temperature, especially when they are mounted outdoors.

In cold climates, the interior of the cabinet is heated to an optimum temperature for maintaining the charge of the defibrillator batteries.

In hot climates, temperature regulation is more complicated, especially when these elements are mounted in locations with direct sunlight.

In these cases, the cabinets incorporate complex electronic refrigeration means based on Peltier cells fed by complementary batteries controlled by an electronic board or by mechanical means that include a temperature sensor.

These means of refrigeration of the internal temperature of the cabinet are very effective, however, their complexity makes them prone to frequent breakdowns, at the same time that they are very expensive equipment that significantly increases the price of the cabinet. cupboard.

It would be advantageous to develop a cabinet to contain AED defibrillators that incorporates more reliable and cheaper internal temperature control means than those described in the prior art.

Another problem in cabinets for defibrillators located on public roads is the lack of sealing between the access door and the body of the cabinet, which tends to loosen due to the expansion of the material with temperature, which ends up producing deformations in the cabinets. joints through which moisture enters that affects the electronic elements of the cabinet, as well as the defibrillator itself.

It would be advantageous to develop a cabinet to contain AED defibrillators that incorporates sealing means between the body of the cabinet and the access door that are not affected by temperature changes and are reliable in the long term.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention solves the problems indicated in the prior art by presenting a configuration that prevents overheating of its interior even despite being exposed to direct sunlight and, at the same time, incorporates multiple break lines for the passage of water that completely seal the interior and prevent the entry of water and moisture even in the worst weather conditions.

The innovative AED defibrillator cabinet is made up of two articulated bodies, one fixed and the other mobile, each of which has an inner shell and an outer shell separated by an empty space that constitutes an efficient thermal insulator and, at the same time, endows the new cabinet with exceptional resistance to falls and impacts.

The fixed body is fixed directly to a wall, column or appropriate foot for its immobilization, while the mobile body is associated with the fixed body, specifically its lower edge, so that it can rotate on it, for example, through an axis of rotation, a hinge system or a deformable band.

In the fixed body there are a bottom wall, two side walls, an upper wall and a lower wall, the lower wall having a sufficient depth so that the entire defibrillator seat base can be seated and a front edge that incorporates the means that allow the association to the mobile body.

In the mobile body, there is a preferably curved front wall, two side walls and an upper wall, and the lower edge of the front wall incorporates the complementary means that allow its association to the lower edge of the fixed body, so that the body Mobile can rotate with respect to the fixed body through an angle of at least 160°.

The outer and inner shell of the fixed body are joined in a perimeter frame located at its mouth. In the same way, the outer and inner shell of the mobile body are also joined in a perimeter frame that coincides and overlaps with the perimeter frame of the fixed body, when one body is folded over the other.

Both perimeter frames together have means of breaking the passage of water with an IP65 protection range, made up of a perimeter rib provided in one of the perimeter frames, which fits into a perimeter slit provided in the opposite perimeter frame.

According to another aspect of the invention, a rubber ring is incorporated between the slit and the perimeter rib that completely seals the joint between bodies, being able to reach an IP68 protection range.

According to another aspect of the invention, the mobile body incorporates a hermetic window through which the interior of the cabinet can be viewed.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The innovative AED defibrillator cabinet consists of a fixed body (1) made up of an inner shell (6) and an outer shell (7) separated by an empty space (8), which is fixed directly to a wall (4) by means of screws (5), and a mobile body (2) also made up of an inner shell (6) and an outer shell (7) separated by an empty space (8), which is articulated to the fixed body (1) by means of a rotation axis. (3) located on the lower edge (9) of each body.

The outer shell (7) and inner shell (6) of the fixed body (1) are joined in a first perimeter frame (10) located at its mouth of the fixed body.

In the same way, the outer shell (7) and the inner shell (6) of the mobile body are joined in a second perimeter frame (11) that coincides and overlaps with the first perimeter frame (10), when one body is folded over the other. .

According to the illustrated example, the first perimeter frame (10) has a perimeter rib (12) that fits with a perimeter groove (13) provided in the second perimeter frame (11) through the intermediary of a rubber ring (14). which as a whole consists of means of breaking the passage of water.
