Description

PORTABLE PLAYER PLAYER DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a portable and compact device for rocking cribs, parks, chairs and children's cars. It is for all the people who have had children, known how annoying and uncomfortable it is to have to be exercising on the cradle the typical swaying movement to get the baby or child to fall asleep or stop crying. It is also known that to get the baby to sleep, it is very effective to accompany the reciprocating movement with whispers, nannies, musical melodies or even sounds with which the baby falls asleep, such as sometimes the noise of the car when circulating, etc. Well, this reproductive coining device comes to solve this problem of having to be cradling the baby with the consequent discomfort that causes, when we are sleeping at night and the baby wakes up taking away sleep hours, when we are doing domestic work or being at home With friends and the baby it is for crying. This device does not only seek the comfort of the user, but that of the baby itself, because every time he cries he will have this device to calm him, since the object of the invention seeks both the comfort of the parents and that of the baby itself.

It is a small appliance that fixed in the cradle, park, chair or stroller when connected and put into operation simulates the movement of cradles exerted by a human arm on the cradle, chair, park or stroller in which it is installed. It has a player recorder to also emit melodies sounds or even the voice of the parents previously recorded. That is, while the device moves the crib, stroller, park or chair with a reciprocating movement so that the child falls asleep or stops crying, also reproduces whispers, nannies, melodies, sounds or even the voice of parents through the built-in player with speaker to help the child fall asleep. Includes universal support support area for different flat surfaces or bars in cribs, chairs, parks or strollers. The device can be operated manually by a cycle button, infrared remote control, by external Bluetooth frequencies or automatically by means of an automatic decoder that detects the crying of the child and starts the rocking player device

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Numerous devices are known to simulate the movement of cradles on cribs, chairs, park or strollers, all of them try to simulate the reciprocating movement exerted by the human arm.

In this regard, devices based on mechanical elements and the use of off-center cranks of the motor shaft, connecting rods connected to wheels by their outer end moved by electric motors or even movement systems through pinions on toothed guides can be mentioned, with the drawback that these systems must be anchored to wall or floor by screws, suction cups or glues. Also the disadvantage of these systems is the danger of many of them when transmitting the movement to the cradle by means of projecting pieces in movement with the corresponding danger of entrapment and the inconvenience of being noisy due to the quantity of pieces in its design. Another device is also known based on the movement of an eccentric ballast located in a horizontal position and moved this ballast through a motor-to-ballast transmission system through a rubber belt in a horizontal position, with the disadvantage of the wear of this element of transmission and its periodic maintenance. This system has the disadvantage of using conventional batteries, with the disadvantage of having to replace them with others, with the consequent economic expense and inconvenience of replacing them. The purpose of many of these devices is only to simulate the reciprocating movement exerted by a human arm, none of them incorporates the use of the reciprocating movement accompanied by the voice of the mother, father or any sound or melody played at the same time as The rocking motion of the cradle is simulated, to favor the child's sleep and neither does any of them use the power supply through rechargeable lithium batteries or similar to all more ecological, cheap and comfortable lights to use. Also most devices are designed to be used in the room where the cradle is located and not in a portable and multifunctional way, so that they are used in chairs, parks, cribs or strollers and to be able to exert the reciprocating movement in all of them only changing the coining device and fixing it quickly and easily. Nor can any of them be activated by infrared remote control or external frequencies from anywhere in the home when the child cries and none of them incorporates the input ports to play usb, cd sounds or external bluetooth frequencies of audio files

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device of the invention has an electro-mechanical combination, which manages to simulate and perform exactly the movement of cradles exerted by a human arm on cribs, parks, chairs or strollers of children and while exercising the movement of cradles can reproduce the voice of the parents, songs, sounds etc, giving the baby to understand that the parents are present exercising the work of cradling. It is a small appliance with a housing, which fixed to the park cradle, chair or stroller, incorporates in an upright position a motor connected to a also vertical transmission shaft, and on this vertical transmission axis a triangular plate located on its upper part is welded horizontally to said drive shaft. In this triangular plate, on the outside, a 60 mm offset weight of the drive shaft is welded. The reciprocating movement that provides the device to the cradle, park, chair or stroller is achieved by rotating the offset axle weight at certain rpm and the centrifugal movement exerted by the weight when turning, makes the cradle move. The player's coining device is equipped with a set of rechargeable and removable lithium batteries with battery housing in the housing and charging sensor. In order to perform the functions described above, the coining device has: a motor with a 2V reducer of low power and low consumption direct current, a speed regulator to regulate the desired rpm of motor operation, Protection of electrical system by fuse, two bearings balls superimposed vertically with bearings that receive the transmission shaft for rotational rotation (two bearings with inner and outer tread and balls between both treads to counteract friction and off-center of the motor shaft), bearing supports to the housing to fix the outer tread of both bearings, a vertical housing (with weight housing, mechanical part supports, electrical system supports and control knobs), a electrical system powered by rechargeable battery, a general on-of switch, a switch in manual or automatic start-up mode, a timer to control the operating time of both the motor and the player in case of activation, a recorder (with selector IN to select the recording source by Rec and micro button for voice recording or USB input, CD and Bluetooth frequency on the recorder), a player (with loudspeaker and sound selector recorded or played directly from the recorder by micro, cd, USB or Bluetooth and with ON-OF potentiometer for volume control of the player), infrared receiver and transmitter to activate the rocking chair (in manual mode), rocking start-up receiver via bluetooth frequency (in manual mode), push button a cycle for device activation (in manual mode), decoder with noise sensor and frequency for device start-up (in auto mode mystical) and function control system through hardware.

How does it work

We introduce the battery (1) inside the casing (31), then we fix the casing (31) to the cradle edge (28) or cradle bars (29) according to universal fixing kit formed by, washers (26) , nuts (27), screws (34), and rear fixing block (33). By activating general ON-OF switch (4), we can record sounds, melodies, nannies, whispers etc on the recorder (6). Pressing the button (6.1) we will record voice, nanny whispers etc, through the microphone (6.2), or through other external frequency inputs (6.5), usb (6.3) or cd charger (6.4) for songs, melodies, etc. An automatic or manual selector is available (5). If we select the automatic option we will connect the noise and frequency signal decoder (9) that has a micro sensor (9.1) and at the moment the child cries this frequency decoder (9) will capture the child's crying through the sensor ( 9.1) and send a positive activation signal to the timer (10), which will activate the motor (13) through the motor speed regulator (11) and the player (12) that will emit the sounds previously recorded on the recorder ( 6). The player has an ON-OF switch (12.1) in case it is desired or not to be activated through the timer (10) and this ON-OF switch (12.1) also performs the function of emission volume regulator through the speaker (12.2), the player has a selector (12.3) to play voice or audio files USB, CD or external frequencies previously loaded or recorded on the recorder (6). At this time if the child is crying the engine (13) is rotating the shaft (24) through the motor shaft coupling (30) and this rotary movement is transmitted by the shaft (24) to the triangular plate (25) through of two bearings (17) and (18) with bearings (37) that fix the shaft (24). Both bearings (17) and (18) are arranged vertically by passing the shaft (24) through its central hole. The triangular plate (25) is welded horizontally to the shaft (24) at the top of the drive shaft (24). In view of the figures on the outside of the sheet (25), an off-center weight (14) of the drive shaft (24) 60 mm is welded and when the weight is rotated (14) circling in a range between 130 rpm and 190 rpm moves the cradle by centrifugal force simulating the reciprocating movement exerted by a human arm. The cradle, car, chair or park performs a reciprocating movement and the reciprocating movement that the coining device exerts on the crib, park, stroller or chair will be more or less fast if the speed regulator (11) spins more or less fast vertical transmission shaft (24) through engine (13). The operating time of both the player (12) (if connected), and the motor (13) will be limited by the adjustable timer (10) and at the end of the cycle through the timer (10), if the child is not has shut up, the decoder (9) will pick up the crying of the child again through the sensor (9.1) and reconnect the device in another operating cycle. It should also be noted that the timer (10) will always stop the player (12) first and then the engine (13) with an interval of 10 seconds.

- Operation of the player coining device manually.

We will place the switch (5) in manual position and at this time it will be the user's choice to connect the player coining device in the same parameters indicated above, that is: by pressing the push button (7), via infrared remote control with Emitting receiver (8) and (8.1) or by external frequencies (35), we will activate the timer (10). When the coining device is started by any of these manual connection means, the device will also act as described above with the difference that by placing the switch (5) in manual position we disconnect the decoder (9) and it will depend on the user to connect the coining device through the device start-up means manually. To complement the description that will then be made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present descriptive report of a set of drawings is attached, based on whose figures the innovations and advantages of the device object of the invention
