La mayoría de las bebidas se sirven con la intención de que sean consumidas frías o calientes, pero su exposición a la temperatura ambiente provoca que pierdan con relativa rapidez la temperatura óptima de consumo a la que son almacenadas.Most drinks are served with the intended to be consumed cold or hot, but its exposure to room temperature causes them to lose with relative speed the optimum consumption temperature at which they are stored
Tanto en el ámbito doméstico, como en lugares públicos como bares, restaurantes, es habitual disfrutar de una bebida fría o caliente, acomodado en un mueble de asiento, como por ejemplo un sofá. En esta situación, es incluso posible realizar alguna actividad lúdica o de ocio, como ver la televisión o leer un libro. Así las cosas, en algún momento deberemos depositar el vaso de bebida sobre alguna superficie o mueble auxiliar, para poder tener las dos manos libres, o simplemente para evitar el enfriamiento o calentamiento de la mano portadora del vaso. El hecho de no disponer de ningún espacio específico para depositar el vaso y para mantener la temperatura de la bebida, provocará que se pierdan las condiciones óptimas para su consumo.Both in the domestic sphere and in places audiences such as bars, restaurants, it is usual to enjoy a hot or cold drink, accommodated in a seat furniture, as per Example a sofa. In this situation, it is even possible to perform some leisure or leisure activity, such as watching television or reading a book. So, at some point we must deposit the glass of drink on some surface or auxiliary furniture, to be able to have both hands free, or just to avoid the cooling or heating of the hand carrying the vessel. The fact of not having any specific space to deposit the glass and to maintain the temperature of the drink, it will cause them to be lost the optimal conditions for consumption.
Los dispositivos existentes para esta función, especialmente para la refrigeración, suelen tener un tamaño importante. Esto es debido a que, para poder refrigerar, utilizan equipos de compresión. A parte, no confieren la comodidad que requiere la situación de confort a la que nos estamos refiriendo.The existing devices for this function, especially for refrigeration, they usually have a size important. This is because, in order to refrigerate, they use compression equipment Besides, they do not confer the comfort that requires the comfort situation to which we are referring.
El posavasos termorregulable aplicable a sofás y similares que la invención propone, resuelve la problemática anteriormente expuesta, al permitir mantener las condiciones óptimas de temperatura para la bebida en cuestión, de una forma cómoda, rápida y totalmente accesible para el usuario acomodado en un sofá.The thermoregulable coasters applicable to sofas and similar that the invention proposes, solves the problem previously exposed, allowing to maintain the optimal conditions of temperature for the drink in question, in a comfortable way, quickly and fully accessible to the user accommodated in a sofa.
Para ello, y de forma más concreta, el posavasos termorregulable aplicable a sofás y similares del tipo que comprenden, al menos un reposabrazos, está compuesto por un receptáculo metálico de superficie plana y de escasa altura, empotrado en un orificio practicado sobre la superficie del reposabrazos del sofá. La cara inferior de dicho receptáculo metálico, está provista de una célula Peltier y un disipador de calor, capaz de enfriar o calentar la superficie exterior del receptáculo metálico. Las células Peltier, están compuestas por dos materiales semiconductores que al aplicarles una corriente eléctrica, producen el calentamiento de una cara y el enfriamiento de la otra. Cuando se invierte la polaridad de la corriente eléctrica se invierten las caras caliente y fría de la célula Peltier. De este modo, obtendremos el calentamiento o enfriamiento del receptáculo del posavasos en función del tipo de bebida que el usuario esté consumiendo.To do this, and more specifically, the coasters thermoregulable applicable to sofas and similar of the type that comprise, at least one armrest, is composed of a metal receptacle with flat surface and low height, embedded in a hole made on the surface of the armrest of the sofa. The underside of said receptacle metallic, it is provided with a Peltier cell and a heat sink heat, capable of cooling or heating the outer surface of the metal receptacle Peltier cells are composed of two semiconductor materials that by applying a current electric, produce the heating of a face and cooling of the other. When the polarity of the current is reversed electric hot and cold cell faces are reversed Peltier In this way, we will obtain the heating or cooling of the cup holder receptacle depending on the type of beverage that the User is consuming.
Para mejorar el rendimiento de la célula Peltier se dispone de un disipador de calor, compuesto por un radiador de láminas o similar, conectado a la cara inferior de la célula Peltier mediante tubos conductores de calor, conocidos como "heat pipes" y provisto de un ventilador, los cuales están dispuestos en posición perpendicular respecto el posavasos, para mejorar la disipación del calor en el interior del reposabrazos. Cuando queremos enfriar el posavasos, hacemos que la cara superior de la célula Peltier produzca frío, lo cual implica que su cara inferior producirá calor, el cual tendremos que disipar para mejorar el rendimiento. Cuando invirtamos la polaridad de la corriente eléctrica para calentar el posavasos, igualmente deberemos disipar, en este caso el frío, producido en la cara inferior. La transferencia del calor o frío producido por la cara inferior de la célula Peltier, se realizará mediante tubos conductores de calor, conocidos como "heat pipes" que tienen la capacidad de transportar grandes cantidades de calor rápidamente de un extremo al otro.To improve the performance of the Peltier cell It has a heat sink, consisting of a radiator sheets or similar, connected to the underside of the Peltier cell by heat conductive tubes, known as "heat pipes "and provided with a fan, which are arranged in perpendicular position with respect to the coaster, to improve the heat dissipation inside the armrest. When we want to cool the coasters, we make the upper face of the Peltier cell produces cold, which implies that its lower face will produce heat, which we will have to dissipate to improve the performance. When we reverse the polarity of the current electric to heat the coaster, we must also dissipate, in this case the cold, produced in the lower face. The heat or cold transfer produced by the underside of the Peltier cell, will be made by heat conductive tubes, known as "heat pipes" that have the ability to transport large amounts of heat quickly from one end to the other.
El receptáculo metálico está rematado con un embellecedor perimetral para su fijación a la estructura del reposabrazos del sofá, provisto de un pulsador para seleccionar la función de frío, caliente o apagado.The metal receptacle is topped with a perimeter trim for fixing to the structure of the sofa armrests, equipped with a button to select the cold, hot or off function.
