Abstract

The invention relates to a device for checking the connection between a child seat and a motor vehicle. The aforementioned connection comprises anchoring means which are provided on the child seat and which are coupled to a receiving element that is provided in the motor vehicle. The inventive device is characterised in that the operation of the anchoring means involves sensors which are connected to respective lighting elements which, when lit, indicate that the child seat has been correctly connected to the motor vehicle. The device also includes another lighting element which, when lit, indicates that the child seat has not been correctly connected to the motor vehicle. In addition, the device includes an audible element which indicates whether or not the child seat has been correctly installed.

La figura 1 ilustra esquemáticamente en planta inferior la base de un- asiento infantil dotada del dispositivo de control objeto de la invención,Figure 1 schematically illustrates on the lower floor the base of a child seat provided with the control device object of the invention,
La figura 2 representa esquemáticamente en alzado lateral un asiento infantil al que se dota del indicado dispositivo de control, y La figura 3 muestra en alzado frontal la base del indicado asiento infantil.Figure 2 schematically represents in side elevation a child seat which is provided with the indicated control device, and Figure 3 shows in front elevation the base of said child seat.
DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADADETAILED DESCRIPTION
De acuerdo con los dibujos el asiento infantil (1) está instalado sobre' una base (2) la cual comprende una .parte superior (3) en la que se ha incorporado el dispositivo objeto de la invención para el control del acoplamiento del asiento infantil en un automóvil.According to the drawings the infant (1) seat is mounted on 'a base (2) which comprises an upper .parte (3) in which is incorporated the device of the invention for the control of the coupling of the child seat in a car.
En este caso el dispositivo de control se aplica a los medios de anclaje (4) tipo "isofix" que comprenden un mecanismo de engatillado que se acopla a una varilla metálica (V) solidaria del automóvil.In this case, the control device is applied to the anchoring means (4) of the "isofix" type which comprise a crimping mechanism that is coupled to a metal rod (V) integral with the automobile.
Para comprobar si • este acoplamiento se ha realizado se ha previsto en cada medio de anclaje (4) la instalación de un sensor (5), constituido por ejemplo por un interruptor, que a través de una placa de circuito impreso (6) está conectado a un elemento luminoso (7), tal como un led, preferentemente de color verde, montado en una placa (8) fijada a la cara frontal de la parte superior (3) de la base. A esta placa (8) está montado otro elemento luminoso (9), tal como un led, preferentemente de color rojo.In order to check if • this coupling has been carried out, a sensor (5) is installed on each anchoring means (4), for example constituted by a switch, which is connected via a printed circuit board (6) to a luminous element (7), such as a LED, preferably green, mounted on a plate (8) fixed to the front face of the upper part (3) of the base. To this plate (8) another luminous element (9) is mounted, such as a led, preferably red.
El acoplamiento correcto de los medios ' de anclaje (4) en la varilla (V) es detectado por los sensores (5) resultando entonces conectados los elementos luminosos (7) de color verde que se encienden.The correct coupling means' anchoring (4) in the rod (V) is detected by the sensors (5) resulting then connected light units (7) that light green.
Si dicho acoplamiento no está ' realizado correctamente se encenderá el elemento luminoso (9) de color rojo.If said coupling is' successful the luminous element (9) will turn red.
Complementariamente • la indicación del citado acoplamiento se obtiene' con un elemento sonoro (10) conectado a la placa de circuito impreso (6) y que actuará de forma continua si el acoplamiento es correcto, o bien de forma intermitente cuando no sea asi . El dispositivo' está alimentado con una batería eléctrica (11) que puede ser recargable.Complementarily • the indication of said coupling is obtained with a sound element (10) connected to the printed circuit board (6) and that will act continuously if the coupling is correct, or intermittently when it is not. The device 'is supplied with an electric battery (11) which may be rechargeable.
Con el fin de no agotar la batería en un corto plazo se ha previsto que los elementos luminosos se enciendan solo temporalmente, comprendiendo este dispositivo un elemento de conexión (12) constituido por ejemplo por un pulsador, con el que se conectarán de nuevo los 'elementos luminosos, también temporalmente, para comprobar el estado correcto del acoplamiento del asiento infantil en el automóvil.In order not to drain the battery in a short time, it is provided that the luminous elements are switched on only temporarily, this device comprising a connection element (12) constituted for example by a button, with which the ' luminous elements, also temporarily, to check the correct state of the coupling of the child seat in the car.
Con este dispositivo se sabrá en todo momento si los medios de anclaje (4) están debidamente acoplados al automóvil o si alguno de ellos o los dos no lo están. Con el elemento luminosos rojo (9) también puede indicarse el agotamiento de la batería eléctrica (11), por ejemplo mediante intermitencias. With this device, it will be known at all times if the anchoring means (4) are properly coupled to the car or if either or both are not. With the red light element (9), the depletion of the electric battery (11) can also be indicated, for example by flashing.
