of the Italian Patent for Industrial Invention entitled:

? ARRANGEMENT FOR HAIRDRESSING SALONS WITH SYSTEM OF

EFFICIENCY MONITORING?

Field of technique

The present invention relates to a set up for hairdressing salons and, more? in particular, a set up for hairdressing salons equipped with an efficiency monitoring system.

State of the art

? It is known that a hairdressing salon set-up generally comprises at least one washing station, in which the hairdresser can? wash the hair of customers, and at least one workstation, where the hairdresser can? perform cutting and styling operations.

Both of these stations usually include a support structure, for example an armchair or a bed, on which the customer can? be made to accommodate, which can? sometimes include electric actuators able to vary the height from the ground and possibly the shape, for example by varying the inclination of a backrest or a footrest.

In some cases, the support structure can? also include air chambers distributed in correspondence with all or part of the surfaces designed to receive the client's body in support, for example in correspondence with the seat and / or backrest and / or the surface of the bed, and a compressor electric designed to inflate / deflate these air chambers, in order to exert an action massaged on the whole body (or at least on a part of it) to improve the comfort of the customer.

The washing station, but sometimes also the work station, also includes a tub and a tap suitable for delivering hot and / or cold water inside said tub, so as to allow the hairdresser to wash the hair of the client who is located on the support structure (for example on the armchair or on the bed) or to carry out other activities.

Finally, both workstations are equipped with lamps for lighting the work area and at least one electrical socket, to which various devices and accessories can be connected, such as hairdryers, electric hobs, razors and more.

The lamps can also include an infrared lamp, called infrared, which has the function of heating the client's head, for example after washing, both in order to improve comfort and, sometimes, in order to prepare the hair for subsequent treatments.

From the above it clearly emerges that the use of the washing station and / or the work station implies a considerable consumption of water and electricity which represent one of the major cost items for the activity. of hairdressers.

A careful management of these consumptions? therefore essential to reduce these costs, increasing profitability? of the activity turning point, as well? to avoid unnecessary waste of important natural resources.

Sennonch? currently hairdressers are only able to know the final consumption of the entire salon, for example through the reports sent periodically by the water and electricity suppliers, through the relative invoices, but they are not able to monitor and control the specific consumption of each washing station and / or each work station in the salon.

This information can? be very important, especially in salons that contain multiple washing stations and multiple workstations, as from it? possible to understand which activities? involve a greater consumption of water and / or electricity, if during these activities? there has been waste or in any case excessive consumption, and if these possible wastes are attributable to malfunctions of the equipment or to incorrect behavior of the hairdresser, all this? allowing you to take the necessary countermeasures and make the necessary corrections.

All the electrical utilities associated with the washing station and / or the work station may also be subject to breakdowns or malfunctions that affect their efficiency.

Another felt need? why? to allow hairdressers to know in real time if, inside each washing station and / or each work station in the salon, there are electrical consumers, for example actuators, lamps, electric compressors or other , which do not work or which work incorrectly.

Exhibition of the invention

A purpose of the present invention? precisely that of responding to this last need, in the context of a simple, rational and relatively low cost solution.

This and other objects are achieved by the characteristics of the invention reported in independent claim 1. The dependent claims outline preferred and / or particularly advantageous aspects of the invention but not strictly essential for its implementation.

In particular, an embodiment of the present invention makes available an arrangement for hairdressing salons comprising:

- at least one support structure for one person, for example an armchair or a cot,

- at least one electrical user, ed

- a monitoring system comprising:

- one or more? detection devices,

- a unit? central electronics configured to receive signals generated by said detection devices and to process data on the basis of said signals, and

- at least one interface device configured to display the data processed by said unit? electronics,

wherein said detection devices comprise at least one tester configured to generate at least one signal indicative of a malfunction and / or non-functioning of the electric user and / or of a control device of the electric user itself.

The command device can? be, for example, a button, a push-button panel, a foot pedal, a remote control or any other device with manual or automatic (e.g. timed) operation able to generate command signals for said at least one electrical user, for example ignition / activation signals and / or shutdown / shutdown signals.

The tester can? be any electrical / electronic device capable of verifying the operating status of the electrical user and / or its control device, for example by verifying whether the electrical user and / or the corresponding control device are functioning, malfunctioning or not functioning (i.e. not able to function).

In the event that the electrical user and / or the control device are malfunctioning or not working, the tester can? also be able to verify the causes of this circumstance, for example by verifying whether the electrical user and / or the relative control device are disconnected from or without power supply, if they are damaged and / or if they are faulty, possibly diagnosing also the entity? and / or the localization of the fault or damage (eg diagnosing which specific component of the electrical user and / or of the relative control device? faulty or damaged).

The signals generated by the tester are then transmitted to the unit? central electronics, which transforms (processes) them into data / information that can be viewed through the interface device, for example in the form of notifications, reports or other.

In this way, through the interface device, the monitoring system is effectively able to provide the managers of the hairdressing salon with information relating to the operating status of the electrical user, for example allowing them to promptly carry out the necessary replacement interventions and / or maintenance.

In other words, the monitoring system? able to perform a diagnostic function of the electrical user, for example by indicating, through the interface device, the operating status? of the electrical user and / or the corresponding control device (e.g. working or non-functioning) and / or activating an alarm signal, if the electrical user and / or the control device is malfunctioning and / or non-functioning .

According to an aspect of the present invention, the set-up can? further understand:

- at least one tank, for example but not necessarily associated with the support structure in order to be able to stay under the head of a person who is on the support structure itself, and

- at least one tap for dispensing water inside the tank.

Thanks to this solution, the set-up allows hairdressers to perform activities? washing hair of customers or any other activity? that requires the use of water.

In this context, the detection devices of the monitoring system may comprise at least one flowmeter capable of generating a signal indicative of a quantity? d? water supplied to the tap.

Thanks to this solution, the monitoring system, through the interface device, is effectively able to provide the managers of the hairdressing salon with information relating to the specific water consumption related to the set-up.

This information may include for example the consumption of water at the tap in a certain period of time, for example in an? Hour, a day or a month, or possibly for each time the tap? open state and / or the relative opening time.

The information may also include the number of times the tap? been used in a certain amount of time.

All this information enables the managers to check the specific water consumption of the set-up and, if these do not comply with expectations, to take any countermeasures.

To facilitate this control, the unit? central electronics could be further configured to generate, for example through the interface device, an alarm signal when a data relating to the quantity? of water supplied to the tap exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

The alarm signal can? be a sound signal, a light signal or any other signal physically perceivable by a person, for example by the person who manages the salon.

In other forms of implementation, the unit? electronics could also be? configured to stop the supply of water to the tap (for example through suitable automatic actuation means, such as valves), when a data relating to the quantity? of water supplied to the tap exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

So ? for example, it is possible to prevent that a single activity? washing can consume a quantity? of resources higher than the set threshold value.

In both cases, the threshold values can be expressed in the same terms as the data processed, for example a predetermined number of liters of water, or in terms of correlated quantities, for example a predetermined opening time of the tap.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the faucet can? be connected to a hot water supply conduit and to a cold water supply conduit, and the detection devices may comprise at least two flow meters, of which a first flow meter adapted to generate a signal indicative of the quantity? d? water supplied to the tap from the hot water supply duct, and a second flow meter capable of generating a signal indicative of the quantity? of water supplied to the tap by said cold water supply duct.

Thanks to this solution, the monitoring system? advantageously able to provide specific data relating to the consumption of both cold water, or water that is directly supplied by the water distribution network, and hot water, or water that, after being drawn from the water distribution network, it is heated through a boiler or other systems, before being fed to the tap.

According to another aspect of the invention, the detection devices can further comprise at least one electric meter adapted to generate a signal indicative of the electric current absorbed by the aforesaid at least one electric user.

Thanks to this solution, the monitoring system, through the interface device, is effectively able to provide the managers of the hairdressing salon with information relating to the specific consumption of electricity related to the set-up.

This information may include, for example, the consumption of electricity by the electricity user in a given period of time, for example in an hour, a day or a month, or possibly for each time that the electricity user? been activated.

The information may also include the number of times the electricity user? been used in a certain amount of time.

All this information enables the managers to check the specific electricity consumption of the set-up and, if they do not comply with expectations, to take any countermeasures.

To facilitate this control, the unit? central electronics could be further configured to generate, for example through the interface device, an alarm signal when a datum relating to the electric current absorbed by said at least one electric user exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The alarm signal can? be a sound signal, a light signal or any other signal physically perceivable by a person, for example by the person who manages the salon.

In other forms of implementation, the unit? electronics could also be? configured to prevent the electric power supply of said at least one electric user (for example through suitable automatic actuation means, such as switches), when a datum relating to the electric current absorbed by said at least one electric user exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

So ? for example, it is possible to prevent that a single activity? of use of the electric utility can consume a quantity? of resources higher than the set threshold value.

In both cases, the threshold values can be expressed in the same terms as the processed data, for example a predetermined value of the electrical energy consumed, or in terms of correlated quantities, for example a predetermined switch-on time of the electrical user.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the detection devices can comprise at least one sensor, for example a pressure sensor, adapted to provide a signal indicative of the presence or absence of a person on the support structure.

Thanks to this solution, the monitoring system can? advantageously count the number of presences (or customers) who are made to accommodate on the support structure in a certain period of time, and possibly can? calculate the specific consumption of water and electricity for each presence, then providing this data through the interface device.

An aspect of the invention provides in particular that the set-up may include a plurality of of electric utilities, possibly controlled by a single control device, for example by a push-button, pedal or remote control with multiple buttons, or by a plurality of buttons. of dedicated control devices.

In this context, the monitoring system can? be advantageously configured to monitor the operating status and possibly the electrical consumption of all these electrical utilities, placing itself in the condition to provide more data? complete.

To this end, the detection devices can include a single tester connected to all the electrical users or a plurality of of testers each connected to a respective of said electrical users or to a group of them.

Similarly, the detection devices can comprise a single electric meter, adapted to generate a signal indicative of the electric current absorbed overall by all the electric users, or a plurality of electricity. of electric meters individually connected to a respective of said electric users or group of them, so as to generate a signal indicative of the electric current absorbed by said respective electric user.

In the first case, a monitoring system is made available which, in the context of a relatively cheap solution,? able to provide, through the interface device, data relating to the global electricity consumption of all the electrical users present in the set-up.

In the second case, a monitoring system is made available which? able to provide, through the interface device, both data relating to the global electricity consumption of all the electric utilities present in the set-up and data relating to the electric consumption of each of these electric utilities individually.

According to an aspect of the present invention, each of the electric users present in the set-up can? be chosen from the group consisting of: an electric actuator for raising and / or lowering the support structure, an electric actuator to vary the shape of the support structure, for example to vary the inclination of a backrest and / or a footrest of the support structure, an electric compressor to inflate / deflate air chambers arranged in the support structure, for example to create a massaging effect, a lamp, for example an infrared lamp, and an electrical socket of current, for example of the Schuko type or any other standardized type, through which multiple electrical work devices can be connected and powered, such as hair dryers, electric plates, electric razors and more.

Thanks to this solution, the monitoring system? advantageously capable of monitoring and providing data relating to the operating status and possibly to the electrical consumption of all the main devices which are electrically powered inside a set up for hairdressing salons.

Another aspect of the invention provides that the unit? central electronics can be connected with the detection devices in mode? wireless.

In this way, the unit? central electronics can? be comfortably carried in different positions with respect to the detection devices, making it more? comfortable its use by users.

The unit? central electronics can? be part of a programmable electronic device, such as a smartphone, tablet computer, laptop computer or other, which? provided with a software application that, when executed, allows the unit? central electronics to process data on the basis of the signals provided by the detection devices and to display said data through the interface device.

Thanks to this solution, the monitoring system can? make use of a commercial device that can? be already? owned by users, reducing the costs of the set-up.

According to one embodiment, the tester can? be installed in an electronic control unit, which? equipped with a connection system with said unit? central electronics.

In this way, the monitoring system is more? easily manageable and installable.

An aspect of the invention provides that this electronic control unit can be equipped with connection systems with said at least one flow meter.

In this way, the signals generated by the flow meter pass through the control unit, which? why? advantageously able to transmit them to the unit? central electronics.

The electronic control unit can? also be equipped with connection systems, via cable or wireless, also with said at least one electric meter.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the connection system of the electronic control unit with the unit? central electronics can? be a wireless connection system.

In this way, connecting in mode? wireless, for example Bluetooth or Wifi, to the control unit only, the unit? central electronics is in fact connected in a very simple way to all the detection devices of the monitoring system.

The tap 125 can? be connected to a hot water supply duct 135 and to a cold water supply duct 140 (shown schematically only), so as to allow the selective dispensing of hot and / or cold water.

Cold water generally means water that is supplied directly from the water distribution network, while hot water means water that, after being drawn from the water distribution network, is suitably heated, for example through a boiler, before being fed. to tap 125.

The warm water ? therefore generally more? warm compared to so-called cold water.

The tub 120 can? be tilting and d? generally also equipped with a discharge port (not visible), which? preferably placed on the bottom and? designed to allow the water to be discharged to a sewer system.

To improve the comfort of the person being treated, the support structure 115 can? be equipped with one or more? electric actuators 145 (shown only schematically), chosen for example between an electric actuator able to raise and / or lower it with respect to the floor and an electric actuator able to vary its shape, for example by varying the inclination of a backrest and / or a footrest.

The electric actuators 145 and the electric compressor 165 are generally installed inside the support structure 115, so as not to be visible from the outside.

The electric compressor 165 can? be controlled by the same control device 160 that controls the electric actuators 145, or by a separate control device.

The washing station 105 can? possibly also be equipped with a lamp 170, for example an infrared lamp, which? adapted to heat the head of the person who is on the support structure 115, for example to increase its comfort after washing and / or to prepare the hair for further treatments.

The operation of the lamp 170 can? be managed by an electronic control unit 175, which can? receiving control signals, for example signals for switching on, off, intensity adjustment, timing or other, from a respective control device (not shown), for example from a respective remote control.

Turning now to workstation 110, this workstation can? it also includes a support structure 175 for a person to be treated, for example an armchair, which can? typically be positioned in front of a mirror 180.

In some embodiments, this support structure 175 could also be provided with one or more? electric actuators of the type outlined above with reference to the washing station 105, possibly controlled by a respective control device.

Even the workstation 110 can? further comprising a lamp 185, for example an infrared lamp, which? adapted to heat the head of the person who is on the support structure 175, for example to increase its comfort and / or to prepare the hair to be subjected to further treatments.

As in the previous case, the lamp 185 can? be turned on, off, timed and / or regulated by intensity? through a respective command device (not shown), for example a remote control, which? adapted to send the command signals to an electronic control unit 190 located on the lamp 185 itself.

The workstation 110 can? furthermore comprising at least one electrical socket 195, for example a Schuko type electrical socket or any other standardized type, through which multiple electrical devices and accessories can be connected and powered, such as hair dryers, electric plates, electric razors and other.

Again with regard to the washing station 105, the monitoring system 200 pu? also include one or more? 225 tester, or one or more? diagnostic devices, which can be connected with one or more? of the electric utilities of the washing station 105, as well as? possibly with one or more? of the relative control devices, to be able to generate a signal indicating a malfunction and / or non-functioning of the same.

These testers 225 can be connected with the respective electrical users and / or with the related control devices in any suitable way according to the characteristics of the electrical users and / or the control devices themselves.

In any case, the tester or testers 225 can be integrated into an electronic control unit 220, which? associated with the washing station 105, in which can? the electrical meter 215 (or the electrical meters) can also be integrated and / or to which the first flow meter 205 and / or the second flow meter 210 can also be connected (via cable or wirelessly).

Although in the attached drawing the electronic control unit 220 is illustrated as an element external to the washing station 105, in reality? the electronic control unit 220? preferably installed inside the washing station 105, for example in the support structure 115.

The monitoring system 200 can? further comprising a sensor 230 adapted to provide a signal indicative of the presence or absence of a person on the support structure 115 of the washing station 105.

These electric utilities can include, for example, one or more? of the electric actuators of the support structure 175 (if present) and / or the electrical socket 195.

Again, the monitoring system 200 can? comprises a single electric meter 235 suitable for measuring the electric current absorbed globally by all the electric users associated with the work station 110, or more? 235 electrical meters, each of which? able to accurately measure the electric current absorbed by only one of the electric users associated with the workstation 110.

The monitoring system 200 can? also include one or more? 245 tester, or one or more? diagnostic devices, which can be connected with one or more? of the electrical utilities of the workstation 110, as well as? possibly with one or more? of the relative control devices, to be able to generate a signal indicating a malfunction and / or non-functioning of the same.

These testers 245 can be connected with the respective electrical users and / or with the related control devices in any suitable way according to the characteristics of the electrical users and / or the control devices themselves.

In any case, the tester or testers 245 can be installed in a further electronic control unit 240, which? associated with the workstation 110, in which it can? the electrical meter 235 (or electrical meters) can also be integrated.

Although in the attached drawing the electronic control unit 240 is illustrated as an element external to the work station 110, in reality? the electronic control unit 240? preferably installed inside the workstation 110, for example in the mirror 180.

Again with reference to the workstation 110, the monitoring system 200 can? further comprising a sensor 250 adapted to provide a signal indicative of the presence or absence of a person on the support structure 175.

This sensor 250 can? be, for example, a pressure sensor and can? it too be connected with the control unit 240 by means of suitable connection systems (for example via cable or more preferably in wireless mode).

Especially in the case in which the support structure 175 of the work station 110 is not electrified (for example, because it lacks electric actuators and other devices that require an electric power supply), the sensor 250 can? be battery powered.

In addition to what already? described, the monitoring system 200 can? also comprising an electric meter 255 adapted to measure the electric current absorbed by the lamp 170 associated with the washing station 105, and / or an electric meter 260 able to measure the electric current absorbed by the lamp 185 associated with the work station 110.

The electric meter 255 can? be directly connected or integrated in the control unit 175 of the lamp 170, while the electric meter 260 can? be directly connected or integrated in the control unit 190 of the lamp 185.

the monitoring system 200 pu? further comprising a tester 265 adapted to generate a signal indicative of a malfunction and / or non-functioning from the lamp 170 associated with the washing station 105 and / or its control device, and / or a tester 270 able to generate a signal indicative of a malfunction and / or non-operation of the lamp 185 associated with the work station 110 and / or of its control device.

Even the 265 tester can? be directly connected or integrated in the control unit 175 of the lamp 170, while the tester 270 can? be directly connected or integrated in the control unit 190 of the lamp 185.

The monitoring system 200 can? finally understand a? unit? central electronics 300, which? configured to receive the signals generated by the testers 225, 245, 265 and 270, and by any flow meters 205 and 210, electrical meters 215, 235, 255 and 260 and sensors 230 and 250, and to process data on the basis of said signals. For example, the unit? central electronics 300 pu? receive these signals by connection, preferably in the mode? wireless, with the electronic control unit 220 of the washing station 105, with the electronic control unit 240 of the workstation 240, with the electronic control unit 175 of the lamp 170 and with the electronic control unit 190 of the lamp 185.

Using the testers 225 and / or 245 and / or 255 and / or 260, the data processed by the unit? central electronics 300 may include, for example, diagnostic information, such as data relating to any lack of general electrical power supply, data relating to the operating status (e.g. functioning or not functioning) of the electrical utilities, for example of the electric actuators 145, of the compressor electrical 165, of the lamps 170 and / or 185, data relating to the operating status (e.g. working or . functioning or not functioning) of the control units 220 and / or 240 and / or 175 and / or 190.

Taking advantage of any 205 and / or 210 flowmeters, the data processed by the unit? central electronics 300 may also include the consumption of hot and / or cold water at the tap 125 in a given period of time, for example in an hour, a day or a month, or possibly for each time that the tap 125? open state and / or the relative opening time.

The data can also include the number of times the tap 125? been used in a certain period of time, such as an hour, a day or a month.

By exploiting any electrical meters 215 and / or 235 and / or 255 and / or 260, the data can include the consumption of electricity by electrical users in a given period of time, for example in an hour, a day or a month, or possibly for each time that the electric utilities have been activated. Electricity consumption can? include in particular the aggregate electricity consumption of all the electrical utilities of the set-up 100, or of each individual user of the set-up 100, or of individual user groups of the set-up 100, for example the electricity consumption of the electrical utilities associated with the washing 105 and the electrical consumption of the electrical users associated with the workstations 110.

The data may also include the number of times each electrical consumer, for example an electric actuator 145, the electric compressor 165 and / or one of the lamps 170 and / or 185,? been used in a certain period of time, such as an hour, a day or a month.

Taking advantage of any sensors 230 and / or 250, the data processed by the unit? central electronics 300 may finally include the number of times that one of the support structures 115 and / or 175 is occupied by a person in a given period of time, for example in an hour, a day or a month, and possibly the duration of occupation.

All these data can eventually be combined by the unit? electronic central 300 to obtain more information? complex, for example the punctual and / or average consumption of hot and / or cold water for each use of the tap 125 and / or the punctual and / or average consumption of electricity for each use of each electrical user.

These and / or other data can finally be visualized by the unit? central electronics 300 through an interface device 305, for example a display screen, so as to make them immediately available to the managers of the hairdressing salon.

For example, the unit? central electronics 300 pu? be configured to allow users to select, on the interface device 305, the station (washing or workstation) they intend to check and, within the chosen station, which data they intend to display, for example by selecting if they want to check the status of operation of electric users, water or electricity consumption and possibly indicating to which electric user or to which group of electric users they are interested.
