Description

The present invention relates to a disinfection device. In the course of the corona pandemic, which is rampant around the world, disinfection facilities have become common in Germany as well as in other countries. Some of these are designed as disinfectant dispensers, in which the user can initiate the dispensing of a disinfectant at the push of a button or by bringing his hands closer, for example.

These disinfectant dispensers are usually arranged on walls or just stand on tables. In this way it can happen that these disinfectant dispensers or disinfectants are arranged at heights that are unfavorable for the user.

The present invention is therefore based on the object of simplifying the convenience of using such dispensers. According to the invention, this is achieved by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments and developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

A disinfection arrangement according to the invention, in particular for disinfecting people, has a disinfection device, which has a housing, and a receptacle arranged within the housing for receiving a flowable disinfectant. Furthermore, an output device is provided in order to output the disinfectant to a user. In addition, a carrier device is provided to which the disinfection device can be releasably fastened, this carrier device having a first fastening surface, and the disinfection arrangement having fastening means in order to fasten the disinfection device to this fastening surface.

According to the invention, the disinfection device can be fastened at different positions on this fastening surface.

It is therefore proposed that the disinfection device is not arranged in a fixed position at a specific position, but that it can be arranged in a height-adjustable manner in particular. In this way, the operator, for example a restaurateur, can choose the height at which he can attach the disinfection device to the carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the disinfection device can be fastened steplessly at different positions on this fastening surface. In a further preferred embodiment, however, the disinfection device can be fastened in stages at different positions on the fastening surface. This is explained in more detail below. The advantage of this step-by-step positioning is in particular an improved stability of the fastening.

The fastening surface is particularly preferably a plane or the fastening surface lies in a plane (in particular without a curve). The disinfection device can be arranged at different positions on this level. In a preferred embodiment, the disinfection device has a connecting line which connects the receptacle with the dispensing device. Furthermore, a pump mechanism is preferably provided which conveys the disinfectant from the receptacle to the dispensing device. This can be a motor-driven pump mechanism. However, a manually operated mechanism would also be conceivable.

In a preferred embodiment, the disinfection device has a proximity sensor or another sensor device which detects the proximity of hands, for example, and accordingly initiates the dispensing of the disinfectant.

In a further preferred embodiment, the fastening means have magnetic fastening means. As described in more detail below, it is possible for the fastening surface to consist of a ferramagnetic material and for a (permanent) magnet to be arranged on the disinfection device itself. It is thus possible for the disinfection device to be detachably fastened to the carrier, but also for it to be very easy to dismantle by a user by overcoming the magnetic forces.

However, it would also be conceivable to provide adjusting devices with which the magnetic effect can be changed or weakened. It would be possible, for example, for a lever mechanism to be arranged on the disinfection device, with which a distance between a (permanent) magnet and the fastening surface can be increased so that the device can then be more easily dismantled.

In a further advantageous embodiment, the fastening surface has a large number of holes and / or recesses which are used to fasten the fastening device. As described in more detail below, a projection can be arranged on the disinfection device for this purpose, which projection can optionally be inserted into one of these holes. In a preferred embodiment these holes are circular and said projection also preferably has a circular cross-section.

However, it would be possible for the projection to have a cross section that differs from a circular cross section, so that the projection can only be introduced into a corresponding hole in a precisely defined position. In this way, the disinfection device can already be arranged in a desired orientation on the fastening surface, for example in a vertical orientation.

However, it would also be possible for two projections to be arranged on the disinfection device which accordingly also engage in two different holes, so that in this way a secure and precisely aligned hold of the disinfection device is achieved.

In a preferred embodiment, it is also possible for the projections arranged on the disinfection device to have, for example, a groove into which the wall of the fastening surface can engage (within the holes). In this way, the disinfection device is suspended, as it were, in the respective holes. For dismantling, it is possible to lift the disinfection device slightly and remove it from the mounting surface. In this embodiment, magnetic holding means can optionally also be dispensed with.

In a further preferred embodiment, at least some of these holes are arranged along a straight line. Particularly preferably, these holes are also arranged equidistantly along this line. In this way, the height of the disinfection device relative to the carrier can be changed at precisely defined intervals.

In a preferred embodiment, the fastening surface is designed as a planar, flat and flat structure.

In a further preferred embodiment, several of these holes are also arranged next to one another in a horizontal direction. In this way, on the one hand, it is possible for the disinfection device to be suspended in two holes that are adjacent to one another. However, it would also be conceivable that an adjustment of the disinfection device in a width direction, that is to say in a direction perpendicular to the height direction, is also made possible.

In a preferred embodiment, a width of the first fastening surface increases from top to bottom. In this case, an upright arrangement of the carrier device is considered, in which this surface increases from top to bottom. This surface is preferably enlarged evenly. This means that the fastening surface preferably has two side edges running in a straight line. The first fastening surface preferably has a trapezoidal shape.

In a further preferred embodiment, the carrier device has a second fastening surface to which a disinfection device can also be fastened. In this way it would be possible to arrange two different disinfection devices, for example at different heights, on these two fastening surfaces. For example, it would be possible for the entire arrangement to be operated by several people, for example two people, at the same time. In addition, the disinfection arrangement could also be positioned at a point, for example a toilet exit, with these two fastening surfaces being aligned in such a way that they can be operated from different sides by both men and women.

The second fastening surface is also preferably designed to be essentially straight (or running in a plane free of curvature) and particularly preferably in the same way as the first fastening surface.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the second fastening surface is angled at a predetermined angle with respect to the first fastening surface. This means that the two fastening surfaces run obliquely or at an angle with respect to one another.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, this angle is greater than 30 °, preferably greater than 60 °, preferably greater than 70 ° and preferably greater than 80 °.

In a further preferred embodiment, this angle is smaller than 150 °, preferably smaller than 120 °, preferably smaller than 110 ° and particularly preferably smaller than 100 °.

This angle is preferably essentially 90 °. In this way, the carrier device can be designed overall in the manner of a partial cross-section of a four-sided pyramid.

The carrier device is particularly preferably configured as a stanchion which can be placed on a (in particular flat) floor. As mentioned above, the disinfection device preferably has a projection which is suitable and determined in at least one and preferably in exactly one projection arranged in the fastening surface To engage hole. In this way, the disinfection device can be held on the fastening surface. In this way, the disinfection device as a whole can be held magnetically on the user interface (a supporting function being achieved by the projections engaging in the holes).

In a further preferred embodiment, the disinfection arrangement has a temperature detection device in order to detect a body temperature of a user. This temperature detection device can be a separate device from the disinfection device. However, it would also be possible for this temperature detection device to be integrated into the disinfection device.

This temperature detection device particularly preferably has a display device in order to output a body temperature visually or also acoustically to a user.

The temperature detection device particularly preferably has a sensor device which detects the body temperature of a user without contact. For example, a pyrometer can be provided. In this way it can be measured, for example, whether a user has an elevated body temperature.

The temperature detection device particularly preferably has a separate housing and can in particular also be attached to the carrier device separately from the disinfection device.

For this purpose, the temperature detection device can preferably be detachably arranged on a fastening surface and in particular the above fastening surface. The temperature detection device can also have one or more projections which can engage in the above-mentioned holes. In a mounted state, the temperature detection device can particularly preferably be mounted above the disinfection device.

In this way, both the disinfection device and the temperature detection device can preferably be fastened to the fastening surface at any desired and mutually different positions.

In a further preferred embodiment, the carrier device has at least one roller device in order to be movable with respect to a substrate. For example, one and preferably several roller devices can be fastened to the underside of the fastening surface, with which the entire carrier device can be rolled over a substrate. These roller devices are particularly preferably also pivotable with respect to an axis which is perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rollers.

In addition, the roller devices are particularly preferably lockable so that the position of the carrier device can also be locked in relation to a substrate. In addition, it would also be conceivable for the roller devices to be detachable from the carrier device and, in particular, also to be manually removable in order to put the carrier device down without the roller devices. In a preferred embodiment, the carrier device has at least three roller devices, and particularly preferably exactly three roller devices. The provision of exactly three roller devices offers the advantage that the carrier device is stable regardless of flat and uneven surfaces, since a plane is formed by three points.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, a center of gravity of the carrier device with the devices arranged thereon, such as the disinfection device and the temperature measuring device, is always arranged within a triangle spanned by the three roller devices. In this way it can be achieved that the carrier device as a whole stands on a base in a non-tilting manner.

In a further preferred embodiment, at least one fastening surface is inclined with respect to a vertical direction. In this case, the fastening surface is particularly preferably inclined in such a way that, when the carrier device is in an upright state, an upper section of the fastening device is further away from a user than a lower section when this user is standing upright.

In a preferred embodiment, the fastening surface is inclined by more than 1 °, preferably by more than 2 °, preferably by more than 4 °, preferably by more than 5 ° with respect to a vertical orientation. This fastening surface is particularly preferably inclined by less than 30 °, preferably by less than 25 °, preferably by less than 20 ° and preferably by less than 15 ° with respect to a vertical direction.

Particularly preferably, the second fastening surface is also inclined with respect to a vertical direction, namely preferably likewise by the angle mentioned here.

Particularly preferably, the first and the second fastening surface are inclined in the same way with respect to a vertical direction.

In a further preferred embodiment, the first fastening surface and the second fastening surface are formed in one piece. For example, the first and the second fastening surface can be produced from a unitary sheet metal by bending it along a straight line in order to achieve the delimitation line between the two fastening surfaces. In this way, the carrier device can be produced in a relatively simple manner.

Particularly preferably, the first and / or the second fastening surface each have an angled projection on an edge that is remote from the other fastening surface, which particularly preferably extends along the complete longitudinal edge. This angled projection can increase the overall stability of the carrier device.

The disinfection device also has an actuating element 24 on, with which the output of a disinfectant via an output device 26th (not shown in detail) can be initiated.

On the rear of the housing, the disinfection device can have two projections, for example bolts, which, as mentioned below, serve to fasten to the carrier device. In addition, a magnetic element, such as a permanent magnet, can be arranged on the rear side of the housing, which causes a hold on a carrier device.

2 shows a representation of the carrier device designated by 4 in its entirety. This has a first fastening surface 42 and a second mounting surface 46 on. These surfaces each have holes 44 on, in which the above-mentioned projections or bolts of the disinfection device can engage. It would therefore be possible, for example, for two or three such bolts to be arranged on the disinfection device.

The mounting surfaces 42 and 46 are made of a ferromagnetic material. In addition, these fastening surfaces are angled with respect to one another at an angle α, which here is 90 °.

The reference signs 52 and 54 identify webs on both mounting surfaces 42 and 46 are arranged. These are angled to ensure the overall stability of the carrier device 4th to increase. These webs 52 , 54 preferably extend along the entire longitudinal direction of the 4th

The reference number 16 identifies a display area of the mounting surfaces that is not provided with holes here. In this area, however, markings, for example, advertising imprints or the like can also be applied. These could be incorporated into the material or simply attached and thus interchangeable.

The reference number 12 identifies roller devices on which the carrier device is mounted. The reference number 14th indicates a bend, which is also used to stiffen the carrier device 4th serves.

It would also be possible that the two fastening surfaces or the edges 52 and 54 are connected to other elements, such as connecting struts, in order to increase the stability of the carrier device in this way.

3 shows a temperature sensing device 8th , by means of which a body temperature of the user can be determined. For this purpose, the temperature measuring device has a temperature sensor 82 which can detect a temperature when a user approaches. The reference number 86 identifies a display device that can output a corresponding temperature. The reference number 84 identifies a housing of the temperature detection device 8th . On the rear of the housing there are preferably one or more projections which in turn fit into the corresponding holes in the fastening surfaces 42 , 46 can intervene.
