Abstract

Repairable and programmable rocking chair for baby strollers, it consists of a box with all the necessary mechanisms to move the stroller wheel in both directions. It is characterized by its small size and minimalist design, its easy attachment and detachment makes it ideal even when the baby stroller is in the park. All its mechanical parts can be printed with a 3D printer and with any type of recyclable plastic material PLA, ABS, Flex. Programming is customized through open source USB port. Its electronics are very simple and well-known, it is available through the internet. The device gives the user their right to repair, aligning with environmental protection and as opposed to planned obsolescence. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

DESCRIPTION

Repairable and programmable rocker for baby strollers

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The invention falls within the technical sector of manufacturing products related to baby care, aimed at helping children sleep. This new device is transportable and easy to apply both inside and outside the home.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the current state of the art, there is no repairable and programmable device for rocking cribs or baby strollers, whose technical characteristics coincide with the present invention patent. There is also no wheel moving device that can be easily attached and detached from the cart.

Document ES 2549203 B1 presents a programmable rocking chair, the type of fixation is on the floor through suction cups, it is not attached to the cart wheel.

The device presented in patent ES 1 073 318 is similar to the one previously described, and its fixation is also with suction cups on the ground.

Document ES 1220 318 U presents a rocking chair that is attached to the frame of the cart, it is composed of a central axis and 2 rotating wheels in both directions, the attachment to the cart is permanent.

Document ES 1102081 U presents a device very similar to the one described in this application, its coupling to the carriage is permanent and it is only released from the motor shaft through a clutch that separates an intermediate wheel, leaving the drive wheel free but in contact with the cart wheel, the arrangement is vertical which makes its installation difficult in those cart models that do not have enough space, nor does it present the possibility of self-repair and personalized programming.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The repairable and programmable rocker for baby strollers is composed of a small main body that contains a motor in whose shaft the impulse pulley for the stroller wheel is housed, a micro-controller programmable through the USB port, a connector to provide power from the electrical network or from the battery and a switch for start-up, its programming can customize the rotation in both directions, the speed, the response time, intermittent stops, number of turns,... The The system is universal, it attaches to any type of cart through a zipper slider with lever lock.

The innovation with respect to current techniques is that this device is focused on the maker community, its parts are prepared for 3D printing and its electronics and programming language are known and studied in current primary education. Starting from the STL files the user can print and assemble the programmable rocker.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented. following:

Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the wheel of a baby stroller (10) on which the device (9) of the invention has been placed.

Figure 2 shows in the device (10) of the invention, the housing (2) where the electronic components (1) and the motor (3) are housed, the lid (4) covers the box along with its components, leaving access to the motor shaft where the impulse pulley (6) and its rubber cover (7) are attached. Optional decorative lid (8) with animal face sticker. The fixation to the cart chassis and the coupling and uncoupling is through the piece (5) that acts as a sliding rack with lever lock.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the repairable and programmable rocker (9) for baby strollers is constituted from a casing (2) where the mechanisms required to drive the pulley (7) that comes into contact are housed. with the wheel of a baby stroller printing a turning movement in both directions.

Both the engine and the electronic components are available and standardized so they are known and used when learning the latest technologies of the new generations. The mechanical components can be printed using any of the 3D materials and systems that exist on the current market. The construction starts from downloadable STL files.

Note that without compromising its main function, the repairable and programmable rocker (9) for baby strollers is aligned with environmental conservation, by self-repairing (Rep Rap) it generates very little waste and serves as an instructor in 3D printing, electronics and programming.

Claims (1)
