Abstract

The Autonomous Rechargeable Heated Child'"'"'s Mat is totally portable and forms an integrated yet detachable part of the child'"'"'s pushchair, buggy or pram (or similar conveyance). Rechargeable embedded power cells power the system for over 4 hours at a full heat output. The system is fully controllable from the parent or operator'"'"'s mobile telephone or tablet device via bidirectional wireless communication. Simply seat or lay the child in the pushchair, buggy or pram (or similar conveyance) as normal. Using a dedicated application on the mobile device the child will quickly and safely be warmed to a controlled temperature as set by the parent or operator. The longest of excursions can now be made with the child in complete comfort and warmth. A powerful, intelligent and safe mobile heating system that is simple to operate and control wirelessly with simplicity.

Claims

1. A autonomous rechargeable heated child'"'"'s mat comprising:

at least four heating channels that are configured to be capable of individual control and isolation from each other,

wherein each heating channel of at least a majority of said heating channels are configured for control with its direct adjacent heating channel to offer a redundancy failure control system, adjacent heating channels being configured as primary and secondary channel pairs;

a plurality of embedded digital temperature sensors located in corresponding regions configured to sense primary and secondary heating channel outputs which are interfaced to the embedded microcontroller.

2. A power transfer lead with embedded digital temperature sensor comprising:

a embedded digital temperature sensor concealed within the lead cover

a power lead with at least one cable connector at each end to transfer power and data between the cable connectors.

3. A power pack controller module comprising:

at least one rechargeable battery pack

a embedded microcontroller incorporating wireless connectivity

a embedded mosfet heating controller circuit which drives the primary and secondary heating channel pairs individually so as to enable the redundancy failure system that should it be detected that either the primary or secondary channel of a pair has failed the remaining functioning channel output is increased in an attempt to counter the failure and maintain the desired heating output.

4. The rechargeable battery pack of claim 3 wherein said battery pack comprises of a embedded prismatic power cell comprising of a chemistry of ext Nanophosphate lithium ion.
