Abstract
An operation and performance monitoring unit for use with domestic electrical appliances that consists of a P.A.D, an intermediary unit which contains an I.T.M and an E.P.M.U. The P.A.D may preferably be a sealed unit that is a new design for a United Kingdom 3 pin plug. The P.A.D relies on control from the E.P.M.U. The E.P.M.U receives information on each appliance wirelessly and may include maximum electrical demand, the resistance between conductors, earth demand and resistance. The intermediary device is the connection between the P.A.D and the E.P.M.U and passes information via the I.T.M. The system can detect faulty electrical items, disconnect power supplies and also display warning messages explaining the reasons for disconnection.
Description
Introduction
There are more than 7000 household fires each year attributed to overloaded socket outlets and faulty appliances. Of these 7000 fires over 3700 are caused by faulty appliances such as washing machines, tumble dryers etc. These 2 appliancesalone contribute to over 25% of all fires caused by faulty appliances. My invention which will be outlined aims to minimize the devastation that fires can cause i.e. monetary loss and possible death.
As with most inventions there will be considerable cost to myself, however at the moment am I able to fund this project until the prototype stage. If and when my invention secures a Patent, at this stage I will look to possible investors Or Part tháre ell OfThé 1patentfo fUtiLtré lideñth arid:prOdUdtiOn.
There has been numerous cases reported in the press where consumers have purchased counterfeit electrical goods which are not subjected to the usual pr&edure f& óhedkih how áfe áhd téliáble they ãré. Some cOhsüthéñ who have purchased counterfeit mobile phone charges have been electrocuted; fires have started and unfortunately caused death. I for one believe something has to be introduced to combat this unnecessary loss of life I appreciate flat to change bow we use electricity ar.d operate domestic appliances within the household will prove to be a massive challenge for myself and md ufltv alike, However, everything stafl with a small step and believe that this is the first step towards a safer and most cost effective use of electricity.
litle of Invention: Operation & Performance Monitoring Electrical Outlet.
My Reference: W D/PMO/871 3
Description of Invention:
* An electrical mains outlet that can communicate with the appliance that it is supplying power to and continually monitor the performance of said appliance, which could anything that draws electrical mains power i.e. television, fridge freezer, washing machine etc. * he outlet will be designed to work in two ways. The least common will be a direct source of communication with the outlet via a P.A.D or plug which transmits the information to the E.PMA) via a P.A.C (Portable Appliance Module) Figure L The main way in which the outlet with be utilized will be information sent wirelessly from the appliance to the outlet with power transfer through non chipped PAD.
figure 2.
* All appliances that are manufactured have set parameters for performance i.e. maximum supply for safe operation, electrical resistance & continuity of earth supply.
This Invention would require a system in place where the appliance manufacturers make allowances so the appliance has the said information relating to performance inbuilt within the appliance to be transmitted to the electrical outlet via the P.A.b direct information transfer (Figure 1) or the wireless version (Figure 2).
* ThE OUtlet will be progrâmnied to EOhflhUälly ffiohito any appliahee Whêñ in use and if the appliance is performing below the pre-set parameters for safe operation then the Outlet will teflinate supply to the appliante and a message will be displayed on the in-built LCD display relating to the appliance as to why the power has been isolated for example: * Engineer required for fridge freezer * * Most 3 pin appliance socket outlet has a mechanically interchangeable fuse ranging from 3 Amp to 13 Amp. This type of fuse is used to detect any surge in electrical demand frorn..the.appliance which would cause the fuse to fail and the power to the appliance would be terminated. My design will feature a system which would have no need for an interchangeable fuse as any operation of the appliance which is above the demand from the appliance would terminate supply from the source i.e. E.PM.U (socket outlet).
* Appliances that are working correctly and within its stated electrical parameters should never cause a interchangeable fuse to fail. If fuses are failing within operation of the appliance that there is clearly a problem with the appliance. My design will warn the consumer that an electrical appliance within their home has a potential to be a fire hazard and unsafe. Under or over performing appliances that are left unchecked could result in loss of life, possessions, money & unnecessary claims on household insurance. * 3
Description of InventiOn:
* Kitchens & most Lounges within the household have numerous appliances that are operating at the same or similar time. Some socket outlets can be placed in areas that are not easily accessed i.e. behind televisions, obscured by furniture and within kitchen cupboards. The solution to this with my design is a kitchen or lounge to have a central hub E.P.M.U control panel placed prominently within each room (Figure 4).
* The E.P.M.U (figure 4) controls the power to the intermediary (figure 3) wirelessly which then in turn will communicate with the 1.1 M (housed internally on both the intermediary and E.P.M.U) on how the power is distributed to each appflance connected to the intermediary. If an appliance is over performing or is in danger of damage to appliance if power continues to. be supplied the E.P.M.U will instruct the intermediary via the I.T.M to isolate the power to the said appliance.
* The I.T.M does not relay any information about the appliance and how it is performing, it is purely utilised to control the power to each appliance connected to the Intermediary. In most cases the information with regards of how an appliance should be performing the data is be collected wirelessly and communicated to the intermediary via the I.T.M. In the case of handheld appliances such as hairdryers the Information will be sent via a P.A.C located between the P.A.D terminals with the power to the appliance being controlled at the source or E.P.M.LJ with integral P.A.D receptors and individual LCD (Figure 5).
* The P.A.D will attach itself to the Intermediary via a clip located on each side of the PAD and be secured into clip locator located on the Intermediary. Each terminal on the intermediary will remain covered until it has received both locator clips and only then will this activate the terminal shields to retreat back into the intermediary.
