Abstract
Dispensing device including a dispensing conduit configured to convey a liquid between a supply source and a tank, the dispensing conduit including a closure system having an open state and a closed state, an analysis system including an analysis chamber and an odor sensor, a central electronic system capable of placing the closure system in the open state if an odor signal delivered by the odor sensor matches the odor of the liquid intended to fill the tank, and placing the closure system in the closed state if an odor signal delivered by the odor sensor does not match the odor of the liquid intended to fill the tank.
Claims21
A dispensing device for preventing a mixing of liquids, each liquid being characterized by an odor, the dispensing device comprising:
- a dispensing conduit configured to convey a liquid between a supply source and a tank, the dispensing conduit comprising a passage for the liquid and a closure system having a passing state in which said closure system allows the flow of liquid in the passage of the dispensing conduit, and a blocking state in which said closure system prevents the flow of liquid in the passage of the dispensing conduit,
- an analysis system comprising an analysis chamber separate from the dispensing conduit and configured to collect a sample of liquid present in the dispensing conduit, and an odor sensor connected to the analysis chamber and capable of delivering an odor signal representative of the odor of the liquid sample, and
- a central electronic system connected to the closure system of the dispensing conduit and to the odor sensor of the analysis system,
- wherein the central electronic system is capable of:
- placing the closure system in the passing state if the odor signal delivered by the odor sensor matches the odor of the liquid intended to fill the tank, and
- placing the closure system in the blocking state if the odor signal delivered by the odor sensor does not match the odor of the liquid intended to fill the tank.
