TITOLO dell’INVENZIONE: TITLE of the INVENTION:
DISPOSITIVO DI SICUREZZA PER NON DIMENTICARE BAMBINI ALL’INTERNO DI AUTOVEICOLI SAFETY DEVICE TO NOT FORGET CHILDREN INSIDE VEHICLES
DESCRIZIONE DELL’INVENZIONE DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A) Motivazioni, finalità e stato anteriore della tecnica A) Reasons, aims and prior state of the technique
La presente invenzione si propone di realizzare un innovativo dispositivo di sicurezza (1), posto all’interno di autoveicoli, in grado di evitare, ai conducenti di detti veicoli, di dimenticare bambini alloggiati nella zona posteriore dei loro veicoli. Negli ultimi anni, purtroppo, si sono verificate gravi tragedie a causa di incredibili dimenticanze e distrazioni da parte dei conducenti che hanno dimenticato, per molte ore, soprattutto durante il periodo estivo, i loro piccoli all’interno di veicoli in cui la temperatura era davvero insopportabile e l’aria irrespirabile. The present invention aims to realize an innovative safety device (1), placed inside motor vehicles, able to prevent the drivers of said vehicles from forgetting children housed in the rear area of their vehicles. In recent years, unfortunately, serious tragedies have occurred due to incredible forgetfulness and distractions by drivers who have forgotten, for many hours, especially during the summer period, their little ones inside vehicles where the temperature was really unbearable and the air unbreathable.
Il dispositivo (1) verrà preferibilmente posizionato, in modo ben visibile, nel seggiolino di sicurezza nel quale verrà poi alloggiato il bambino, in modo da venire (sicuramente) acceso ogni volta che verranno chiuse le cinture di sicurezza di detto seggiolino e (sicuramente) spento ad ogni loro apertura. Allo stato attuale non risulta esistere alcunché di simile, noto e/o in commercio. The device (1) will preferably be positioned, in a clearly visible way, in the safety seat in which the child will then be housed, so as to be (surely) switched on every time the safety belts of said seat are closed and (certainly) switched off at each opening. At present there is nothing similar, known and / or on the market.
B) Descrizione e funzionamento B) Description and operation
La presente invenzione si propone di realizzare un innovativo dispositivo elettronico di sicurezza (1) che consenta di svolgere la seguente principale funzione: The present invention proposes to realize an innovative electronic safety device (1) which allows to perform the following main function:
- ricordare acusticamente al conducente, ad ogni spegnimento del veicolo, che nella zona posteriore dell’abitacolo è presente un bambino. - acoustically remind the driver, each time the vehicle is turned off, that there is a child in the rear area of the passenger compartment.
Nel dettaglio, l’innovativo dispositivo di sicurezza (1) comprende almeno le seguenti caratteristiche e componenti principali (vedi figura n.1): In detail, the innovative safety device (1) includes at least the following features and main components (see figure 1):
a) almeno un microfono (2), dotato di relativa logica di controllo, analisi e amplificazione dei segnali, utilizzato sia per accertare la presenza di persone all’interno dell’autoveicolo, mediante rilevamento di voci, suoni e/o rumori, sia per accertare la condizione di veicolo con motore acceso o spento: a) at least one microphone (2), equipped with relative control logic, analysis and signal amplification, used both to ascertain the presence of people inside the vehicle, by detecting voices, sounds and / or noises, and to ascertain the condition of the vehicle with the engine on or off:
b) almeno un allarme-avviso acustico (3), composto da buzzer e/o cicalino, utilizzato per avvisare il conducente di non dimenticare, prima di scendere dal veicolo, di prendere con sé il bambino (uno o più) alloggiato nella zona posteriore del veicolo. b) at least one acoustic alarm-warning (3), consisting of a buzzer and / or buzzer, used to warn the driver not to forget, before getting out of the vehicle, to take the child (one or more) with them in the rear area of the vehicle.
Il dispositivo elettronico di sicurezza (1) è inoltre composto da: The electronic safety device (1) is also composed of:
c) un tasto (4), utilizzato per accendere e spegnere il dispositivo (1); c) a key (4), used to switch the device on and off (1);
d) un controller elettronico (5), con relativa logica di gestione e controllo, utilizzato per gestire (a livello software ed hardware) i componenti e le funzioni del dispositivo (1); detto controller (5) sarà preferibilmente dotato di microprocessore (ad es. con architettura a 16 bit); d) an electronic controller (5), with relative management and control logic, used to manage (at software and hardware level) the components and functions of the device (1); said controller (5) will preferably be equipped with a microprocessor (for example with 16 bit architecture);
e) un modulo di alimentazione elettrica (6), composto da una batteria (monouso o ricaricabile) e/o da apposita connessione utilizzabile per alimentare (mediante la solita presa accendisigari) il dispositivo (1) tramite la batteria dell’autoveicolo. e) an electrical power supply module (6), consisting of a battery (disposable or rechargeable) and / or a special connection that can be used to power (via the usual cigarette lighter socket) the device (1) via the vehicle battery.
Nel caso in cui il controller elettronico (5) accerti, analizzando i segnali elettrici provenienti da detto microfono (2) (uno o più), che non vi sia più il solito rumore di sottofondo creato dal motore “acceso” del veicolo, interpreterà tutto ciò come condizione di veicolo “spento” e controllerà poi, sempre analizzando i segnali provenienti da detto microfono (2), se all’interno del veicolo siano presenti o meno delle persone, mediante il rilevamento di eventuali rumori, voci e/o suoni. If the electronic controller (5) ascertains, by analyzing the electrical signals coming from said microphone (2) (one or more), that there is no longer the usual background noise created by the vehicle's "running" engine, it will interpret everything this as the condition of an “off” vehicle and will then check, again by analyzing the signals coming from said microphone (2), whether or not there are people inside the vehicle, by detecting any noises, voices and / or sounds.
Nel caso in cui il controller elettronico (5) accerti che il veicolo sia stato spento e che al suo interno non vi siano rumori, voci e/o suoni, attiverà. immediatamente e per vari secondi, l’avviso acustico (3) (composto da buzzer e/o cicalino) che servirà per avvertire subito il conducente del veicolo, e/o altri passeggeri, di non dimenticarsi del bambino (uno o più) seduto (generalmente nel suo seggiolino di sicurezza) nella zona posteriore del veicolo. If the electronic controller (5) ascertains that the vehicle has been turned off and that there are no noises, voices and / or sounds inside, it will activate. immediately and for several seconds, the acoustic warning (3) (consisting of a buzzer and / or buzzer) which will immediately warn the driver of the vehicle, and / or other passengers, not to forget the child (one or more) sitting ( generally in its safety seat) in the rear area of the vehicle.
Nel caso in cui il controller elettronico (5), analizzando i segnali elettrici provenienti da detto almeno un microfono (2), accerti che all’interno del veicolo non vi siano rumori, voci e/o suoni, ma il motore del veicolo sia ancora acceso, non attiverà l’avviso acustico (3), perché interpreterà tutto ciò come condizione di veicolo ancora in movimento, cioè non ancora giunto a destinazione, e quindi come condizione di “assenza” di pericolo di abbandono per il bambino (uno o più) alloggiato nella zona posteriore dell’abitacolo. In the event that the electronic controller (5), analyzing the electrical signals coming from said at least one microphone (2), ascertains that there are no noises, voices and / or sounds inside the vehicle, but the vehicle engine is still switched on, it will not activate the acoustic warning (3), because it will interpret all of this as a condition of a vehicle still in motion, that is, not yet reached its destination, and therefore as a condition of "absence" of danger of abandonment for the child (one or more ) housed in the rear area of the passenger compartment.
E’ comunque preferibile (per maggior sicurezza e tranquillità), ogni volta in cui il controller elettronico (5), analizzando i segnali elettrici provenienti da detto almeno un microfono (2), accerti che il motore del veicolo sia stato spento, che venga brevemente (2-3 secondi) attivato l’avviso acustico (3) come semplice avviso, semplice promemoria, per il conducente, anche se magari quest’ultimo non ha alcuna intenzione di scendere dal veicolo. It is however preferable (for greater safety and peace of mind), whenever the electronic controller (5), analyzing the electrical signals coming from said at least one microphone (2), makes sure that the vehicle engine has been switched off, that it is briefly (2-3 seconds) the acoustic warning (3) activated as a simple warning, a simple reminder, for the driver, even if the driver has no intention of getting out of the vehicle.
Il dispositivo di sicurezza (1 ) comprende preferibilmente inoltre, per accertare, facoltativamente, la condizione di veicolo “in movimento”, un sensore di movimento, composto da un accelerometro a 2 o 3 assi e/o da un modulo bussola elettronica (ovvero uno o più sensori maqnetoresistivi); le continue variazioni di valori, di tali sensori di movimento, rileveranno il movimento del veicolo, mentre l’assenza prolungata di dette variazioni di valori identificherà la condizione di veicolo fermo, in sosta. The safety device (1) also preferably comprises, to optionally ascertain the condition of a "moving" vehicle, a movement sensor, consisting of a 2 or 3-axis accelerometer and / or an electronic compass module (i.e. one or more maqnetoresistive sensors); the continuous changes in values of these motion sensors will detect the movement of the vehicle, while the prolonged absence of said changes in values will identify the condition of a stationary vehicle, parked.
