    Container temperature regulator
    The present invention relates to a device for regulating the temperature of a container, such a device being intended to be fixed to a ventilation grille, more particularly to a ventilation grille of a motor vehicle.
    It has already been proposed in the state of the art, devices for carrying or support containers such as cups, bottles or cans. Such devices are generally hung or suspended from different parts of the vehicle, such as for example a ventilation grid.
    The devices according to the state of the art generally comprise a support, on which the container rests, a means of fixing the device and a holding means, which makes it possible to keep the container in an upright position on the support so that it does not overturn, the holding means being a ring or arms. However, these devices are often constrained by the diameter or shape of the container, thereby leaving too much freedom of movement to the containers whose diameter is smaller than that of the holding means and / or containers whose shape is different from that of the holding means, which does not ensure a sufficiently secure holding of the container, which may be reversed at the slightest movement of the vehicle.
    In addition, it has already been envisaged to convert such devices into devices for regulating the temperature of a container by fixing them to a ventilation grille of a vehicle, in order to accumulate the initial function of holding the container. and a temperature control function of the latter using the fresh air from the ventilation grid. However, with such devices, the fresh air from the ventilation grid reaches only a small surface of the container held in the device. More specifically, this fresh air reaches only the surface of the container closest to the grid and thus ensures the cooling only of this surface, in contact with which the air is heated, thus preventing cooling of the surfaces of the container further away of the ventilation grid. Consequently, the devices according to the state of the art do not make it possible to ensure a uniform and optimal regulation of the temperature of the container.
    A solution intended to ensure a more homogeneous regulation of the temperature of a container has been proposed in the patent application WO2007066196. The device according to this application comprises a receptacle, which forms a volume in which the container may be in contact with the air from the ventilation grid. The air passes through an air duct that connects the ventilation grille and the receptacle. allowing to channel it to better direct it on the container. However, despite the fact that with such a device, the delivery of fresh air is improved, in particular thanks to the fact that fresh drafts can naturally occur at the periphery of the volume formed by the receptacle, there remains a large number of container surfaces that are not reached by fresh air. Consequently, a device according to this solution does not make it possible to ensure the most homogeneous regulation of the temperature of the container. In addition, by adding an air duct as described in this patent application, there is a risk of air leakage, due to the mechanical fixing between the air duct and the receptacle. . In addition, the mechanical strength of the fastening means to ensure a secure attachment of the device to the ventilation grille, which is resistant when a solid container is placed, is also a disadvantage because of the length of the ventilation duct. which will affect all the efforts exerted on the receptacle. The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device for regulating the temperature of the container which comprises a means of attachment to a vehicle ventilation grille, a means for holding a container downstream of the grill. vehicle venting, said container holding means defining a container receiving volume, an air inlet into the container receiving volume and at least one air deflecting channel. The container temperature control device is characterized in that the air deflection channel is located outside the container receiving volume and in that the air deflection channel comprises a mouth located in the inlet of air and opens into the container receiving volume other than through said mouth.
    A device for regulating the temperature of the container according to the invention has the advantage, compared to devices according to the state of the art, of allowing air to be diffused from the ventilation grid in different zones of the invention. container receiving volume, defined by the holding means. In other words, the device according to the invention makes it possible to ensure the diffusion of an air of identical temperature on at least one surface of the container different from that exposed to the air coming directly from the ventilation grille, the makes its positioning close to the air inlet in the container receiving volume. Therefore, the device according to the invention allows a deflection and diffusion of the air from the ventilation grid, which ensures a uniform control of the temperature of the container, on a larger total surface of the container.
    By "container" is meant any container for liquid, transportable by a vehicle user, variable size and shape that allow a capacity of a few milliliters to one liter. By way of non-limiting example, a container may be a bottle, a glass, a cup, a cup or a can.
    In the following description, the term "air" is used to designate the air from the vehicle ventilation grille.
    A container holding means of a device according to the invention allows the holding of the container downstream of the ventilation grid and defines the container receiving volume, in which the container can be held by said container holding means. . Such holding means may be any known means for maintaining a container downstream of the vehicle ventilation grille. The container holding means may, for example, be a closed receptacle, in which the container is positioned. The container holding means may also include a spacer located in the air inlet. Therefore, the holding means creates a greater spacing between the air inlet into the container receiving volume and the container, allowing the air entering this volume more space to bypass the container and penetrate in the diversion channel. This results in a more homogeneous diffusion of air in this volume.
    Preferably, the holding means of the device according to the invention comprises two elastically deformable arms which ensure a gripping of the container. Advantageously, the two elastically deformable arms are combined with a spring which exerts a thrust force on the container, which ensures a better holding of the container by the holding means. Therefore, a device comprising such a container holding means is constrained neither by the diameter nor by the shape of the container, since the latter is pushed by the spring against the elastically deformable arms, which in turn exert a force contrary to that of the spring on the container, which eliminates any freedom of movement of the container and thus ensures, a secure holding of the container by the container holding means. Therefore, the device according to the invention is able to receive any type of container, whatever its shape.
    In a particular embodiment of the invention, the spacer and the spring are one and the same element.
    Advantageously, the elastically deformable arms may be provided with retaining beads at their end, which has the advantage of ensuring better retention of the container pushed by the spring. The air inlet into the container receiving volume comprises at least one orifice, of varying shape and / or size, made in the container holding means and allowing air to enter the receiving volume. container, defined by said holding means.
    Advantageously, the air inlet comprises at least one orifice situated in the zone of the container holding means which constitutes the interface with the ventilation grid (hereinafter interface zone). By way of non-limiting example, the air inlet may comprise a plurality of orifices which may be in any conceivable shape and size, for example circular orifices or slots. The penetrating air, through the air inlet, into the container receiving volume, makes it possible to regulate, directly, the temperature of a variable container surface, which corresponds to the surface of the container closest to the container. the interface zone, depending on the size, shape, number and arrangement of the orifices that comprise the air inlet.
    According to the invention, the rest of the surface of the container can also be regulated by bringing into contact with the air the same temperature as that of the air which regulates the temperature of the surface of the container closest to the zone of interface, through at least one air deflection channel, located outside the container receiving volume.
    Such an air deflection channel includes a mouth located in the air inlet, which allows it to deflect part of the air before it comes into contact with the container surface closest to the air intake. interface area. Such air deflection channel provides for greater diffusion of air into the container receiving volume, since the channel opens into the container receiving volume other than through its mouth. Therefore, with such a device, it is possible to provide a more homogeneous control over a larger surface of the container.
    The air deflection channel of a device according to the invention may be a tube, separate from the container holding means and external thereto.
    Preferably, the air deflection channel is a conduit formed in the container holding means and opens into the container receiving volume, other than through said mouth, into a plurality of outlets.
    Advantageously, the air deflection channel comprises, at each of its outlets, at least one diffusion fin which makes diffusion of the deflected air even more precise. An optimized harmonization of the temperature of the air present in the container receiving volume is thus obtained, which results in an even more uniform regulation of the temperature of the container.
    A means for attaching a vehicle ventilation grille to a device according to the invention may be any known fastening means that makes it possible to secure the device to the vehicle ventilation grille. A fixing means may, for example, comprise one or more rods each comprising a first end adapted to be housed between two lamellae of a vehicle ventilation grille.
    Preferably, a fixing means comprises four rods. The stems may be of varying length, shape and diameter. They may be provided, at their first end, with a tip of diameter greater than that of the rest of the rod, which prevents the exit of the rods, out of the air vent, once they have been inserted between two slats of the ventilation grid.
    Alternatives to this tip may be fir fasteners or racks, which have the advantage of being able to gradually set the device to ventilation grids, having different characteristics, thanks to the different levels of notching that these alternatives. Therefore, a device according to the invention, which comprises a means for fixing to a ventilation grid, comprising at least one rod, provided at its first end, with one of the presented alternatives, can not perform any translational movement according to the axis of the rod, once the latter introduced into the ventilation grille and blocked by the notching of these alternatives, which secures the attachment of the device to the vehicle ventilation grille.
    The attachment means to the ventilation grid and the container holding means may be one and the same piece / in one piece.
    Alternatively the attachment means to the ventilation grid and the container holding means can be coupled to each other by any known coupling mechanism of the state of the art.
    Advantageously, the regulating device according to the invention also comprises a coupling means which allows the coupling between the fastening means to the ventilation grille and the means for holding the container.
    The coupling means may comprise at least one receiving element adapted to receive and block the second end of a rod of the fastening means to the ventilation grid, this second end corresponding to the end of the rod which is not not intended to be introduced into the vehicle ventilation grille. The receiving element is, for example, able to block the second end of the rod by a locking mechanism by rotation.
    The coupling means may also comprise at least one receiving element and at least one rail, along which the receiving element can be moved and blocked. Such coupling means thus makes it possible to adjust the height of the rods of the fastening means to the ventilation grille, according to the intrinsic characteristics of the vehicle ventilation grille, on which the device must be fixed. Therefore, a device comprising such a coupling means can be attached to a very large number of vehicle ventilation grids.
    Advantageously, the device may also comprise a base on which the container rests. As a result, the holding forces made by the container holding means necessary to hold the container downstream of the vehicle ventilation grille are reduced. It is then possible for the device to accommodate and hold heavier containers. The base can be a solid support or not, of varying shape and diameter.
    Alternatively, the base may be a subsidiary regulating means of the device, serving to reinforce the regulation of the temperature of the container by the air coming from the ventilation grid. It is, for example, a conceivable alternative in which the base is powered in order to heat or cool the base of the container with which it is in contact. Such a power supply can be produced by solar panels fixed on the holding means, preferably on the upper edge of the holding means, and connected to the base.
    The device according to the invention can be obtained by any molding method known to those skilled in the art, preferably by injection-molding, and be formed from any plastic material or any known combination of materials suitable for such processes. molding, preferably polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polymethylacrylate (PMA).
    It is important to note that a device for regulating the temperature of the container according to the invention can exercise, with the same efficiency of temperature regulation, both a container cooling function, in the case where the air coming from of the grate is fresh air, that a function of container driver, when the air coming from the air vent is hot air. The invention will be better understood on reading the appended figures, which are provided by way of examples and are not limiting in nature.
    Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a container control device according to one embodiment of the invention.
    Figure 2 is a rear perspective view of the container control device of Figure 1.
    Figure 3 is a top view of the container control device of Figure 1.
    Referring now to FIG. 1, the container temperature control device 1 comprises attachment means 2 to a vehicle ventilation grille (not shown) and container holding means 3. This holding means 3 consists here of a plate 19 from which two opposite curved arms 7 and a base 10 start. The assembly delimits a container receiving volume 5 which, although not closed, is suitable for accommodating and retain a container (not shown). The device 1 for regulating the temperature of the container also comprises an air inlet 4 formed in the plate 19 in the form of radial slots and two air deflection channels 6 formed in the elastically deformable arms 7 of the holding means 3. The air deflection channels 6 each open into the container receiving volume 5 by two outlets 20a and 20b, each of these two outlets being associated with a diffusion vane 18a, 18b which allows, once the container maintained by the device 1, accurately diffuse the deflected air on surfaces of the container different from the surface closest to the interface zone 8. The container (not shown) is held in the device 1, without any freedom of movement , thanks to the holding means 3 which comprises a spacer 13, providing the spring function, and the elastically deformable arms 7, provided with retaining beads 9, at their ends.
    The fixing means 2 to the vehicle ventilation grille is composed of four rods 11 provided, at one free end, with a tip 12 of diameter greater than that of the rest of the rod 11, which prevents the exit of the rods 11 , out of the ventilation grid, once they have been introduced between two slats of the ventilation grid. It is important to note that the end pieces 12 of the rods 11 can be replaced by alternatives that make it possible to perform the same function, such as, for example, tree fasteners or racks. The other end of the rods 11 is mounted in the plate 19, thanks to a coupling means 16.
    FIG. 2 makes it possible to more precisely detail the interface zone 8 of the device 1 in which the coupling means 16 is located, which comprises four receiver elements 14 and two rails 15, the coupling means 16 ensuring the coupling between the fixing means 2 to the vehicle ventilation grille and the container holding means 3.
    To do this, the second ends of the rods 11 are received in the receiving elements 14, which are able to block the rods 11 by means of a rotation locking mechanism (not shown). The receiver elements 14 are also able to be moved along at least one rail 15, which makes it possible to adapt the height of the rods 11, with respect to the ventilation grid on which the device 1 is to be fixed.
    In FIG. 3, the upper slices of the elastically deformable arms 7 have been removed, in order to reveal the air deflection channels 6. Each air deflection channel 6 comprises a mouth 17 which is located in the inlet of FIG. air 4, which allows it to capture a portion of the air before it comes into contact with the container surface closest to the interface zone 8. Each air deflection channel 6 opens, in the example described, in two outlets in the container receiving volume 5, other than through the mouth 17, the channel comprising a diffusion fin 18a, 18b at each of its outlets. The first diffusion vane 18a is arranged to diffuse only a portion of the deflected air, which takes the air deflection channel 6, into a first zone of the container receiving volume, different from and away from the inlet. 4. The second diffusion fin 18b diffuses all of the air that has not been diffused by the first diffusion fin 18a, into a second zone of the container receiving volume even further away from the air inlet 4. Therefore, with the device described, a larger surface of the container can be reached by air at the same temperature as the temperature of the air present in the air inlet at the same time, which ensures a more homogeneous regulation of the temperature of the container. The invention is not limited to the embodiments presented and other embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art.
