BG4796U1 - CONTAINER WITH BUILT-IN ELECTROMAGNETIC DESTROYER - Google Patents

Description

Field of technique

The present utility model relates to a container with a built-in electromagnetic destructor that will find application in the field of computer technology and in particular for the destruction of data stored on computer hard disks, floppy disks and other magnetic media.

Prior art

Hard disk drives (HDD) are electromechanical devices for storing and retrieving digital information. Modern HDDs record data by magnetizing a thin film of ferromagnetic materials on the disk. The successive changes in magnetization direction represent the binary bits of data, the data being read from the disk by reading the magnetization direction. User data is encoded using an encoding scheme that determines how the data is represented by the magnetic directions.

Erasing the recorded information from the hard disk only removes the address to the corresponding file, not the file itself. The operating system constantly maintains a file index that indicates where the actual data is stored. Deleted data remains on the disk until new data is written in its place. But, even then, there is a possibility that the specialists will be able to recover the old information. In recent years, data security regulations have outlined stricter guidelines and greater penalties. These regulations include hospital facilities handling sensitive information; financial and banking organizations; institutions such as defense and homeland security; universities collecting a lot of personal data and others. Companies can no longer simply throw away or physically destroy computer hard drives, not only because of control over personal data, but also because of environmental pollution.

Degaussing is a demagnetization process in which a magnetic object, such as a computer disk, is exposed to a magnetic field of high and variable intensity. Data is stored on magnetic media in very small areas called magnetic domains through changes in magnetic alignment. A demagnetizer, also known as a degausser produces an intense magnetic field that leaves the domains in random patterns with no orientation preference, thus making previous data unrecoverable. When exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the disk's magnetic charge resets to a magnetically neutral state. This erases all user or factory recorded data and the disc cannot be used again.

Technical nature of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to create a container with a built-in electromagnetic destroyer that provides permanent and irretrievable deletion of confidential data recorded on computer hard disks, floppy disks and other magnetic media.

The task was solved by creating a container with a built-in electromagnetic destroyer, which includes a metal parallelepiped container, the upper base of which, representing a lid, is locked by a lock to a working module. The working module, having a parallelepipedal shape, is located above the container. Inside the upper part of the container, an electrical panel is installed, in which a network router with built-in GPS and 5G connectivity and a programmable controller are installed. An opening is made on the working module, in which an opening flap is installed, communicating with an electromagnetic destroyer - degausser connected to a display - built into the working module. Running wheels are mounted at the lower end of the container.

An advantage of a container with a built-in electromagnetic destructor is that it provides permanent and irretrievable erasure of confidential data recorded on computer hard drives, floppy disks and other magnetic media, due to the use of degaussers that erase magnetic media by resetting the magnetic charge of the hard drive to a neutral state, thus erasing the data written on it.

Explanation of the attached figure

The present utility model is illustrated in the attached figure 1, which is an axonometric view of a container with a built-in electromagnetic destroyer, according to the utility model.

Examples of implementation of the utility model

The created container with a built-in electromagnetic destroyer, shown in the attached figure 1, includes a metal parallelepiped container 1, the upper base of which, representing a cover 6, is locked by a lock 4 to a working module 2. The working module 2, having a parallelepipedal shape, is located above the container 1 Inside the upper part of the container 1, an electrical panel 8 is installed, in which a network router with built-in GPS and 5G connectivity and a programmable controller are installed. An opening is made on the working module 2, in which an opening valve 5 is installed, communicating with an electromagnetic destroyer - degausser 3 built into the working module 2, connected to a display 9. Running wheels 7 are mounted at the lower end of the container 1.

An electro magnetic shredder - also called a degausser is a device used to remove data stored on computer hard drives, floppy disks and magnetic tapes. Data is stored on magnetic media in very small areas called magnetic domains through changes in magnetic alignment. Erasing the magnetic media leaves the domains in random patterns with no orientation preference, thus rendering the previous data unrecoverable. The degausser produces an intense magnetic field. When exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the disk's magnetic charge resets to a magnetically neutral state. This erases all user-recorded or factory-overwritten data and the disc cannot be used again. In the structural diagram of the electromagnetic destroyer, the main element is an electromagnet, creating a strong magnetic field in a certain area. This area must be sized to demagnetize magnetic media of maximum size.

The created container with a built-in electromagnetic destroyer is used in the following way.

The electrical panel 8 installed in the container 1 with a network router with built-in GPS and 5G connectivity is used for continuous tracking of the movement of the container 1, and with the controller installed in it, information is stored about the order being executed. The degausser 3 built into the work module 2 has a display 9 that communicates with the controller and displays the information related to the order - customer, number and type of data storage media to be demagnetized. When the process is started, the operator starts inserting the data storage media one by one through the opening flap 5 into the degausser 3. The operator confirms that the media is inserted into the degausser 3 by pressing a button on the degausser 3 itself and the degaussing process starts. After a few seconds, a message appears on the display 9 that demagnetization is complete. Since there is a camera inside the degausser 3, it takes a picture of the degaussed media and automatically reads the barcode numbers that are on the media. These numbers are automatically sent to the controller and associated with the order. After the media is demagnetized and photographed, it falls inside container 1. The process is repeated as many times as necessary.

After the information carrier is finally demagnetized, it is transported for subsequent physical destruction.
