Abstract

The rodent protection device uses a series of short electronically-controlled light pulses for providing a stroboscope effect, activated via an external on-off switch, the ignition of the automobile in which the device is installed or via sensors (US1,US2). The light pulses may be provided via light-emitting diodes (1-10) provided with wide-angle reflectors.

Description

Der Vorteil dieses Abwehrsystems zu bereits bestehenden optischen Marderschutzgeräten liegt darin, das hier mehrere Lichteffekte räumlich getrennt von einander im Motorraum, (Abb. 2) am Unterboden bzw. in den Radläufen montiert werden - hierdurch wird eine partielle Ausleuchtung erzielt. The advantage of this defense system over existing optical marten protection devices is that several lighting effects are spatially separated from each other in the engine compartment ( Fig. 2) and are mounted on the underbody or in the wheel arches - this results in partial illumination.

Durch diese partielle Ausleuchtung wird der Stroboskop-Effekt, der die Eindringlinge zusätzlich orientierungslos macht, im Vergleich zu bereits bestehenden optischen Abwehrgeräten, die nur von einem festen Punkt aus abstrahlen, um einen wesentlichen Faktor erhöht. This partial illumination turns the stroboscopic effect on the intruders additionally disoriented compared to existing optical Defense devices that only emit from a fixed point to an essential Factor increased.

Die Ansteuerung der einzelnen Leuchtdioden erfolgt durch kurze, kräftige, partiell getrennte, zeitlich begrenzte, elektronisch gesteuerte Lichtimpulse. The individual LEDs are controlled by short, powerful, partially separated, time-limited, electronically controlled light pulses.

Ein Durchlauf, d. h. die Ansteuerung der Leuchtdioden 1-10 (Abb. 2) dauert ca. 2 Sekunden, dies entspricht einer Leuchtdauer pro Leuchtdiode von ca. 0,2 Sekunden. Es werden ca. 15 Durchläufe geschaltet d. h. ein kompletter Alarmintervall dauert ca. 30 Sekunden, danach wird die Anlage wieder auf Überwachungsbetrieb gesetzt. Die Leuchtdauer sowie das Impuls- Pausenverhältnis sowie die Anzahl der Durchläufe kann individuell eingestellt werden. One run, ie the activation of the LEDs 1-10 ( Fig. 2) takes approx. 2 seconds, this corresponds to a lighting duration of approx. 0.2 seconds per LED. Approx. 15 runs are switched, ie a complete alarm interval lasts approx. 30 seconds, after which the system is set to monitoring mode again. The lighting duration as well as the pulse-pause ratio and the number of runs can be set individually.

In einem Langzeitversuch wurden in einem Fahrzeug infrarottaugliche Überwachungskameras und der entwickelte Marderschutz eingebaut - es konnten mehrere Marderattacken erfolgreich abgewehrt und per Videoaufnahme dokumentiert werden. In a long-term experiment, infrared vehicles were found in a vehicle Surveillance cameras and the developed marten protection built in - several marten attacks were possible successfully repelled and documented by video recording.

Die Überwachung des Objekts und die Erfassung der Eindringlinge kann durch Bewegungs-, Näherungs- und Radarmelder oder sonstigen Sensoren erfolgen. Die Alarmauswertung, die Ansteuerung der Lichteffekte, sowie Alarmdauer und die Anzahl der Durchlaufzyklen wird durch eine Steuerelektronik (Abb. 1) durchgeführt. The object can be monitored and intruders can be detected using motion, proximity and radar detectors or other sensors. The alarm evaluation, the control of the light effects, as well as the alarm duration and the number of cycle times is carried out by control electronics ( Fig. 1).

Das aktivieren bzw. deaktivieren der Schutzeinrichtung kann entweder durch einen externen Ein/Ausschalter, der Zündung des Fahrzeuges oder durch Sensoren erfolgen. Die Montage und die Anzahl der Überwachungssensoren bzw. der Signalleuchten ist abhängig von der Art des zu schützenden Objekts und kann jederzeit individuell angepasst werden. The protective device can be activated or deactivated either by an external On / off switch, the ignition of the vehicle or by sensors. The assembly and the number of monitoring sensors or signal lights is depending on the type of object to be protected and can be customized at any time become.

Die Betriebsspannung liegt bei 12 Volt kann aber auch in einer 24 Volt Version ausgeliefert werden. The operating voltage is 12 volts but can also be delivered in a 24 volt version become.
