Description

The invention relates to the field of special equipment and is intended for installation in fitting rooms of clothing stores, shoe stores, studios, and medical institutions.

Often, the procedure of trying on clothes or shoes, visiting a medical office is associated with the need to remove shoes, which forces the consumer to contact the feet with a contaminated floor surface, on which, besides dirt, there may be pathogens of fungal diseases. Therefore, each consumer is required to provide an individual mat.

Known disposable floor fitting mat for use as a hygienic floor mat in the fitting room booths (patent RU 81419 U1, A47G 27/00, 20.03.2009).

The rug contains a base comprising a layer of sheet nonwoven material. The density of the nonwoven material is in the range of 20 g / m ² –100 g / m ² , and the overall dimensions of the base in width are in the range of 150–750 mm, and in length - in the range of 250–750 mm. The base of the rug can be square, rectangular, ellipsoidal, round, or polygonal. As a nonwoven material, paper, plastpolymer film, artificial fiber can be used.

An inexpensive and compact disposable mat has been created to protect the feet of consumers from contamination and to protect against fungal skin diseases during the fitting procedure. But to ensure the hygiene of the fitting procedure, an individual mat is needed for each consumer, which means that there should always be a supply of clean mats for several consumers in the fitting room. At the same time used mats will accumulate in the fitting room cabin until the cleaning of the room. The presence of two piles of floor mats, especially given the fact that clean and used floor mats are unlikely to be stored in even, neat stacks, will take up a significant part of the working space of the fitting room.

To optimize the use of the working space of the cabin, a container for disposable floor fitting mats has been proposed (patent RU 82412 U1, A47F 10/00, B65F 1/00, 04/27/2009), containing at least two compartments, which allows placing in it a stock clean and used floor mats.

But the proposed container does not allow to solve the problems of using a small space in the fitting room of the cabin, as well as the need for the consumer to pick up a rug, which is especially unhygienic when cleaning a used rug.

Information about compact automatic devices that allow consumers, without touching the rug with their hands, repeatedly use the rug when changing or undressing while protecting the user's feet from pollution and from fungal skin diseases, has not been revealed.

The technical result is the creation of a compact automatic device for removing and feeding a disinfected dressing pad for the first time.

This result is achieved due to the fact that for the first time the device for automatically retracting and supplying a disinfected changing mat includes a housing with a removable front panel, a lowering power supply, a lifting chain mechanism with an electric motor and a moving object, a rug, a switching relay, at least one germicidal lamp with electronic ballast, two controllers, one of which controls the operation of the engine of the lifting chain mechanism, and the second reads signals from the mat and transmits information on the first controller and via a switching relay for a bactericidal lamp, two shafts for the carpet feed direction, a device on button, the removable front panel in the lower part has a cutout, a lifting chain mechanism placed along the rear wall of the case, controllers and a device on button are connected to step-down power supply unit; a switching relay is installed in front of the electronic ballast of the bactericidal lamp; the shafts for the feed direction of the rug are fixed parallel to each other on the rear wall of the housing in the finished and a lifting chain mechanism, the axis of the lower shaft is displaced towards the rear wall of the housing, the rug is fixed at one end to the object of movement of the lifting chain mechanism, and its other end is tucked into the gap between the shafts for the direction of its supply, the rug has a thickness of 0.3-2.5 mm, made of rigid thermoplastic plastic with a density of 0.93-1.08 g / cm ³ double-layered, each layer of the rug is supplied with a conductive circuit and connected to the second controller, and one of the layers has a damper limiter.

The choice of a chain mechanism as a lifting mechanism is due to the task of reducing the depth of the device and the quiet operation of the mechanical part. The displacement object mounted on the lifting mechanism to which the carpet is attached may have a different geometric shape - square, triangular, rectangular, trapezoid.

The offset of the axis of the lower shaft for the feed direction of the mat with respect to the axis of the upper one creates for the mat the conditions for its reliable movement and exit from the device.

For bactericidal treatment of the rug, the device is equipped with at least one germicidal lamp. The number of lamps depends on their power, the customer's wishes related to the time and degree of processing of the rug. So, to handle a rug for 20 seconds, the total power of the lamps can vary from 70 to 170 watts.

Performing the device rug in the claimed form is a necessary condition for the operation of the device as a whole in automatic mode - the rug is a kind of button for closing and opening contacts, information about the state of which is read by the controller. The material from which the mat is made is selected to ensure the highest dielectric constant, flexibility, wear resistance, comfort for the feet of the consumer. The thickness of the mat is chosen experimentally, taking into account minimizing the size of the device as a whole and to ensure its constant and trouble-free operation. The thickness of the mat less than 0.3 mm leads to its folding and installation of the device, and with a thickness of more than 2.5 mm, the shafts for the direction of supply of the mat will have to be spaced apart, which will increase the size of the device.

The damper limiter serves to ensure that the conductive layers of the rug are not in a closed state when the rug is inside the device.

In order to save space when the device needs servicing, the front panel is made removable - either invoice or supplementary. The best materials for the rug are plastic sheet group of polyolefins or plastic sheet PVC. An extra top layer of carpet made of polyvinyl chloride foam will provide even greater comfort for the consumer’s feet. The device can be made both in vertical and in horizontal orientation.

When performing the device in a vertical orientation

- the upper shaft for the direction of supply of the rug can be equipped with cleaning elements, which will allow not only to disinfect the rug, but also to clean it from foreign bodies (threads, needles, tags, etc.),

- the mat is filled in such a way that its upper layer contacts the lower part of the upper shaft for the feed direction of the mat, and the lower one - with the upper part of the lower shaft,

- the power button on the device is located either on the front panel, or on the top or on the side walls of the case,

- the device can be equipped with a light indicator, signaling that the device is turned on in the network, placed either on the front panel or on the top or on the side walls of the case.

Performing the device in a horizontal orientation is particularly convenient in the fitting shoe stores. When running the device in horizontal orientation

- the housing is provided with an additional panel with a slot placed parallel to the upper wall of the housing,

- the lower shaft for the feed direction of the mat is provided with a cleaning element,

- the mat is filled in such a way that its lower layer comes into contact with the upper part of the upper shaft for the feed direction of the mat, and the upper one with the lower part of the lower shaft,

- the device power button is located on the additional panel,

- the device is equipped with a light indicator located on the additional panel.

The device allows not only to offer the consumer a clean, decontaminated mat, but also to ensure its automatic feeding and cleaning. The device is compact, easy to manufacture and maintain. It can be manufactured industrially using its existing components on the market.

The switching relay 18 is connected to the source AC voltage of 220 V and to the signal reading controller 21. The rug 11 is fixed at one end to the displacement object 10 and its other end is filled between shafts 14 and 16. The rug 11 is made of two layers 22 and 23, each of which is applied conductive circuits 24 and 25, in the specific case connected to the controller 21 by a wire with a double core 26. The bottom layer 22 is provided with a damper limiter 27. Holders with electronic ballast 12, in which the germicidal lamp 13 is fixed, can be placed both on the rear wall 1, and both on the side walls 2 and on the inside of the front panel 4.

In the vertical version of the device, the upper shaft for the feed direction of the rug 14 is provided with a cleaning element, and the rug 11 is filled between the shafts 14 and 16 so that its upper layer 23 contacts the lower part of the upper shaft for the feed direction of the rug 14, and the lower layer 22 the upper part of the lower shaft 16.

The device works as follows.

The consumer, going to the device connected to the AC mains, 220 V, indicated by the light indication 7 (if any), presses the power button 6. The signal from the power button 6 goes to the controller 20, which is connected to the down power supply 19 at 12 V, the controller 20 starts the engine 9, the lifting mechanism 8 starts lowering the mat 11 fixed on the displacement object 10. The mat 11, the second end of which is inserted between the shafts for the direction of the mat 14 and 16 is fed to the feet of the consumer c cut 5 in the lower part of the front panel 4 or through the slot 29 in the additional panel 28. Through its weight, standing on the mat 11, the user closes the layers of the mat 22 and 23 with conductive circuits 24 and 25, signal of what (+5 V) through the common wire 26 is transmitted to the controller 21. When the contact of the layers 22 and 23 is open (the consumer leaves the carpet 11), the signal (+5 V) stops flowing to the controller 21, the controller 21 will give a short positive pulse to the controller 20, which will turn on the electric engine 9 and will operate the lifting mechanism 8 to work on raising the object moving 10 with the carpet 11. The controller 21 simultaneously with the impulse (+5 V) on the control contacts of the coil of the relay 18 will apply a control voltage of 220 V to the electronic ballast of the germicidal lamp 13. The bactericidal lamp 13 will turn on for the required interval time for bactericidal treatment of the rug 11. The rug 11, after passing through the shafts for the direction of its supply 14 and 16, one of which is equipped with a cleaning element, for example, in the form of a brush, will first be cleaned of foreign bodies that may get on Rick 11 and then bactericidal treatment will take place. The mat 11 is ready for further servicing the next consumer.

The inventive device is easy to manufacture, maintain, repair.

In the experimental version of the device were used:

- as a lifting chain mechanism - a window lifter mechanism for a car,

- as a switching relay - power relay RT2-RT424005,

- as a controller 20, which controls the operation of the engine of the lifting chain mechanism - closer car windows;

- as a controller 21, which reads the signals from the mat 11 and transmits a pulse signal to the controller 20 and through the switching relay 18 starts the activation of the germicidal lamp 13 - the Arduino debug board, which is equipped with an Atmega 328Р controller with a program recorded on it to automatically remove the mat in the device and the inclusion of a bactericidal lamp with a certain time delay.

They also used a power supply that reduces the voltage from 220 V to 12 and 5 V, while the type of power supply (pulse, transformer) does not matter, an electric motor with a power of 15-35 W, operating from a constant voltage of 12 V;

Installing the inventive device in the fitting rooms, medical cabinets where it is necessary to remove shoes, allows the consumer to perform this action in comfortable conditions without fear of touching the soiled floor surface with his feet, while each new consumer is not required to provide an individual mat. By pressing the device's power button, the consumer has the opportunity to step barefoot on a clean, disinfected mat, and having left it, neither the consumer nor the service personnel will need to remove the dirty mat. The device occupies a much smaller area of the fitting room of the cabin than the area of containers for storing disposable clean and dirty mats.
