Description

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte à un nouveau dispositif de détection d'intrusion permettant de détecter un intrus ou cambrioleur potentiel qui manifeste l'intention de pénétrer dans une habitation, maison ou appartement, un bureau, un magasin, etc.The present invention relates to a novel intrusion detection device for detecting a potential intruder or burglar who has the intention of entering a dwelling, house or apartment, an office, a shop, etc.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Dans le domaine de la sécurité des bâtiments, les différents équipements de protection connus, comportant des détecteurs à ultrasons, à infrarouge, volumétriques, etc., sont basés sur la détection de la présence d'une personne, lorsque celle-ci s'introduit dans l'espace ou la surface d'une zone surveillée. Dans le cas d'une maison d'habitation, il faut impérativement que l'intrus s'introduise dans la maison, par exemple en forçant la porte, pour que le dispositif de détection et d'alarme fonctionne.In the field of building safety, the various known protective equipment, including ultrasonic, infrared, volumetric, etc. detectors, are based on the detection of the presence of a person, when it is introduced in the space or surface of a monitored area. In the case of a dwelling house, it is imperative for the intruder to enter the house, for example by forcing the door, for the detection and alarm device to work.

De plus, si nous prenons le cas d'un appartement situé dans un immeuble ou un building, le corridor d'accès étant généralement commun, la présence d'un détecteur traditionnel, placé à l'extérieur, par exemple au-dessus de la porte, déclencherait l'alarme constamment et inutilement à chaque passage d'un voisin. D'ailleurs, le fait de passer ne signifie nullement qu'il y a intention de commettre une effraction.In addition, if we take the case of an apartment located in a building or building, the access corridor is generally common, the presence of a traditional detector, placed outside, for example above the door, would trigger the alarm constantly and unnecessarily with each passing of a neighbor. Moreover, passing does not mean that there is an intention to commit a break-in.

D'autre part, lorsque la maison ou l'appartement est occupé par une ou plusieurs personnes durant la journée, les alarmes traditionnelles doivent être évidemment déconnectées, sous peine d'obtenir constamment des déclenchements intempestifs, provoqués par le va-et-vient desdites personnes.On the other hand, when the house or apartment is occupied by one or more persons during the day, the traditional alarms must be obviously disconnected, under penalty of constantly getting nuisance tripping, caused by the comings and goings of said people.

Les alarmes traditionnelles ne sont donc efficaces que lorsque l'appartement est inoccupé ou durant la nuit, pour protéger certaines zones sélectionnées, comme le rez-de-chaussée par exemple, lorsque l'occupant est couché.Traditional alarms are therefore only effective when the apartment is unoccupied or during the night, to protect certain selected areas, such as the ground floor for example, when the occupant is in bed.

Enfin des études ont démontré que l'intrus potentiel, qui souhaite pénétrer dans un bâtiment, aura comme premier réflexe de vérifier si la porte est verrouillée de l'intérieur, ce qui demande nécessairement d'actionner la clenche pour libérer le verrou mobile. Cette particularité, en défaveur de l'intrus, n'est pas exploitée par les systèmes de détection de l'état de la technique.Finally, studies have shown that the potential intruder, who wants to enter a building, will have as a first reflex to check if the door is locked from the inside, which necessarily requires to actuate the latch to release the movable lock. This feature, to the detriment of the intruder, is not exploited by the detection systems of the state of the art.

Le document US-A-4,339,747 décrit un système d'alarme comprenant une base de montage et des moyens pour fixer celle-ci à une pièce dont le mouvement doit être signalé par l'alarme. Un interrupteur magnétique constitue un premier élément et un aimant constitue un second élément. L'un de ces deux éléments est capable de pivoter par rapport à la base de montage tandis que l'autre est capable de retenir une position donnée de celle-ci. La distance relative entre la position du pivot de l'élément pivotant et la positon de l'autre élément peut être ajustée entre une position séparée dans laquelle l'interrupteur magnétique n'est pas influencé par l'aimant, quel que soit le mouvement de pivotement de l'élément pivotant et une position juxtaposée dans laquelle l'interrupteur magnétique est (a) non influencé par l'aimant lorsque l'élément pivotant est suspendu initialement dans sa position d'équilibre, (b) fermé par l'aimant lorsque l'élément pivotant oscille dans un déplacement donné autour de sa position d'équilibre et (c) reste fermé après que l'élément pivotant soit revenu à sa position d'équilibre. Un appareil électrique générant un signal est proposé, ainsi qu'un circuit électrique par lequel de la puissance est fournie à l'appareil au travers de l'interrupteur magnétique.US-A-4,339,747 discloses an alarm system comprising a mounting base and means for securing thereof to a room whose movement must be signaled by the alarm. A magnetic switch constitutes a first element and a magnet constitutes a second element. One of these two elements is pivotable relative to the mounting base while the other is able to hold a given position thereof. The relative distance between the position of the pivot of the pivoting element and the position of the other element can be adjusted between a separate position in which the magnetic switch is not influenced by the magnet, whatever the movement of the pivoting of the pivoting member and a juxtaposed position in which the magnetic switch is (a) unaffected by the magnet when the pivoting member is initially suspended in its equilibrium position, (b) closed by the magnet when the pivoting element oscillates in a given displacement around its equilibrium position and (c) remains closed after the pivoting element has returned to its equilibrium position. An electrical apparatus generating a signal is provided, as well as an electrical circuit by which power is supplied to the apparatus through the magnetic switch.

Buts de l'inventionGoals of the invention

La présente invention a pour but de proposer une solution qui remédie aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique.The present invention aims to propose a solution that overcomes the disadvantages of the state of the art.

En particulier, la présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de détection d'intrusion répondant à une nouvelle philosophie en matière de protection des biens et des personnes, qui soit proactive et préventive et non plus réactive.In particular, the present invention aims to provide an intrusion detection device responding to a new philosophy of protection of property and people, which is proactive and preventive and no longer reactive.

L'invention a pour but complémentaire de détecter instantanément l'intrus potentiel, qui se trouve toujours à l'extérieur de la zone protégée, tout en manifestant l'intention de commettre une effraction.The invention has the additional object of instantly detecting the potential intruder, who is always outside the protected area, while manifesting the intention to commit a break-in.

Principaux éléments caractéristiques de l'inventionMain characteristic elements of the invention

La présente invention concerne un dispositif électronique de sécurité sans fils, pour la protection d'un bâtiment en tout ou en partie, de préférence une maison d'habitation ou un appartement ; destiné à détecter l'intention de pénétrer à l'intérieur dudit bâtiment manifestée par une personne, caractérisé en ce qu'il est pourvu de moyens permettant de détecter une tentative d'ouverture d'une porte ou d'une fenêtre de l'extérieur par ladite personne sans l'endommager, selon revendiqué dans la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a device electronic security system without wires, for the protection of a building in whole or in part, preferably a dwelling house or an apartment; intended to detect the intention of entering the interior of said building manifested by a person, characterized in that it is provided with means for detecting an attempt to open a door or window from outside by said person without damaging it, as claimed in claim 1.

Lesdits moyens comprennent un détecteur comportant au moins un interrupteur magnétique et un déclencheur magnétique comportant un aimant et solidaire d'une partie mobile de ladite porte ou fenêtre, un signal de détection naissant lorsque l'aimant est amené vis-à-vis de l'interrupteur du fait de la mise en mouvement de la partie mobile, qui est généralement une clenche appartenant au mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte ou fenêtre, ou encore un ouvrant de fenêtre.Said means comprise a detector comprising at least one magnetic switch and a magnetic trigger comprising a magnet and secured to a movable part of said door or window, a detection signal emerging when the magnet is brought vis-à-vis the switch due to the setting in motion of the movable part, which is usually a latch belonging to the opening mechanism of the door or window, or a window opening.

De préférence, le détecteur comprend des moyens de fixation, des moyens d'alimentation électrique autonome, des composants électroniques, un avertisseur sonore et un connecteur pour la connexion par câble dudit dispositif à un dispositif extérieur, tel qu'un avertisseur sonore additionnel à distance, un dispositif d'alimentation auxiliaire, une centrale d'alarme ou un transmetteur téléphonique.Preferably, the detector comprises fastening means, autonomous power supply means, electronic components, a buzzer and a connector for the cable connection of said device to an external device, such as an additional remote warning buzzer. , an auxiliary power supply, a central alarm or a telephone transmitter.

L'invention présente la particularité qu'il n'y a aucune liaison mécanique entre le détecteur et le déclencheur, la distance entre le détecteur et le déclencheur étant réglable.The invention has the particularity that there is no mechanical connection between the detector and the trigger, the distance between the detector and the trigger being adjustable.

Avantageusement, le détecteur est pourvu d'un dispositif de temporisation, permettant à un usager autorisé d'ouvrir et fermer ladite porte ou fenêtre, dans un intervalle de temps limité, sans déclencher l'alarme.Advantageously, the detector is provided with a delay device, allowing an authorized user to open and close said door or window, within a limited time interval, without triggering the alarm.

De préférence, le détecteur comporte sur sa face avant un indicateur signalant une tentative d'ouverture de porte ou de fenêtre par l'extérieur.Preferably, the detector comprises on its front face an indicator signaling an attempt to open a door or window from the outside.

De manière particulièrement avantageuse, le détecteur est actif même en cas de démontage du mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte ou fenêtre, en particulier de la clenche et de son axe.Particularly advantageously, the detector is active even in case of disassembly of the opening mechanism of the door or window, in particular of the latch and its axis.

Selon une forme d'exécution particulièrement préférée de l'invention, le détecteur comprend une carte électronique pilotée par microprocesseur et connectée à des boutons de commande situés sur sa face avant, de sorte que différentes fonctions peuvent être sélectionnées par un opérateur.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the detector comprises a microprocessor-controlled electronic card connected to control buttons located on its front face, so that different functions can be selected by an operator.

De préférence, ces fonctions sont sélectionnées par l'opérateur soit en appuyant sur un seul bouton au moins une fois pendant une durée variable, soit en appuyant simultanément sur au moins deux boutons.Preferably, these functions are selected by the operator either by pressing a single button at least once during a variable duration, or by simultaneously pressing at least two buttons.

Le dispositif de détection selon l'invention présente en outre les avantages suivants

  • il détecte l'intrus potentiel qui est toujours à l'extérieur et qui a seulement manifesté l'intention de s'introduire dans la maison ou de commettre une effraction. Ainsi, l'invention se distingue de la détection par contacteurs magnétiques placés sur portes
ou fenêtres. En effet, ces contacteurs sont placés à l'intérieur et déclenchent l'alarme lorsqu'il y a effraction, par exemple lorsqu'on essaie de forcer ou briser un châssis de fenêtre ;
  • l'effraction n'ayant pas encore été commise, l'habitant dispose d'un temps beaucoup plus long pour réagir, téléphoner à la police, appeler du secours, etc. ;
  • le détecteur peut être branché 24h/24, même si l'habitation est constamment occupée ;
  • le détecteur est entièrement autonome, facile à installer et ne nécessite pas de câblage ;
  • le détecteur est d'un coût inférieur par rapport à celui d'un système d'alarme traditionnel ;
  • le détecteur peut compléter un système d'alarme existant, auquel il peut être connecté ;
  • en particulier, le détecteur peut être connecté à un transmetteur téléphonique ;
  • grâce à sa conception particulière, l'autonomie du détecteur est très importante car il ne consomme de l'énergie que lorsqu'il y a tentative d'intrusion ;
  • le détecteur est de conception monobloc, c'est à dire qu'il intègre toutes les fonctions dans le boîtier y compris l'avertisseur sonore ;
  • il n'y a aucune liaison mécanique entre le détecteur et le déclencheur, ce qui autorise la présence de jeu dans l'axe de la clenche et qui rend le dispositif totalement polyvalent pour répondre à d'autres applications ;
  • pour répondre concrètement à d'autres applications, il suffit simplement d'adapter le déclencheur ; dans le cas d'un magasin, par exemple, et durant les heures d'ouverture, il peut être utilisé comme avertisseur d'entrée. Il peut également servir pour prévenir de l'ouverture d'un tiroir-caisse, d'une vitrine, d'un coffret, etc.
The detection device according to the invention also has the following advantages:
  • it detects the potential intruder who is always outside and who has only indicated the intention to break into the house or commit a break-in. Thus, the invention differs from the detection by magnetic contactors placed on doors
or windows. Indeed, these contactors are placed inside and trigger the alarm when there is a break, for example when trying to force or break a window frame;
  • the break-in has not yet been committed, the inhabitant has a much longer time to react, call the police, call for help, etc. ;
  • the detector can be connected 24 hours a day, even if the home is constantly occupied;
  • the detector is fully autonomous, easy to install and does not require wiring;
  • the detector is lower cost than a traditional alarm system;
  • the detector can supplement an existing alarm system, to which it can be connected;
  • in particular, the detector can be connected to a telephone transmitter;
  • thanks to its particular design, the autonomy of the detector is very important because it consumes energy only when there is attempted intrusion;
  • the detector is of monobloc design, ie it integrates all functions in the housing including the buzzer;
  • there is no mechanical connection between the detector and the trigger, which allows the presence of play in the axis of the latch and makes the device fully versatile to meet other applications;
  • to respond effectively to other applications, simply adapt the trigger; in the case of a shop, for example, and during opening hours, it can be used as an entrance alarm. It can also be used to prevent the opening of a cash drawer, a showcase, a cabinet, etc.

Le détecteur est également pourvu d'un connecteur 16, permettant l'installation d'un deuxième buzzer, par exemple dans la chambre à coucher, ou de se connecter à une centrale d'alarme existante de manière à augmenter considérablement son potentiel.The detector is also provided with a connector 16, allowing the installation of a second buzzer, for example in the bedroom, or to connect to an existing control panel so as to considerably increase its potential.

Enfin, le détecteur est muni de deux interrupteurs magnétiques 17. Suivant le sens de rotation de la clenche 10, lorsque l'aimant 7 va passer devant l'un des deux interrupteurs magnétiques 17, celui-ci va se fermer et enclencher le processus de détection et d'alarme.Finally, the detector is provided with two magnetic switches 17. According to the direction of rotation of the latch 10, when the magnet 7 will pass in front of one of the two magnetic switches 17, it will close and start the process of detection and alarm.

Le dispositif selon une deuxième forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention est décrit sur les figures 3.a, 3.b et 3.c. Le principe de fonctionnement du dispositif est sensiblement le même par rapport à la forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus, à l'exception de certaines fonctions qui ont été automatisées en utilisant les capacités électroniques du système.The device according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention is described in Figures 3.a, 3.b and 3.c. The operating principle of the device is substantially the same with respect to the embodiment described above, with the exception of certain functions that have been automated using the electronic capabilities of the system.

Le détecteur 1 comprend donc un buzzer 3 servant d'avertisseur sonore, une plaque autocollante 4, une cavité 5 destinée à recevoir une batterie électrique et une cavité 6 destinée à recevoir les équipements électroniques assurant la gestion du détecteur. La cavité 6 est munie de son couvercle d'accès 60.The detector 1 thus comprises a buzzer 3 serving as a buzzer, a self-adhesive plate 4, a cavity 5 intended to receive an electric battery and a cavity 6 intended to receive the equipment. electronic devices to manage the detector. The cavity 6 is provided with its access cover 60.

La plaque autocollante 4 permet la fixation du détecteur à la porte. Un couvercle à glissière 11, coulissant dans une rainure 110, permet d'accéder à la batterie positionnée dans la cavité 5. Grâce aux trous 12 prévus dans le boîtier, on peut également fixer le détecteur à l'aide de vis.The self-adhesive plate 4 allows the attachment of the detector to the door. A sliding cover 11, sliding in a groove 110, provides access to the battery positioned in the cavity 5. Thanks to the holes 12 provided in the housing, it is also possible to fix the detector by means of screws.

Le déclencheur comprend un aimant permanent 7 destiné à sensibiliser l'interrupteur magnétique 17, une vis de réglage 8 permettant d'ajuster le longueur du bras déclencheur magnétique en fonction de la position du détecteur sur la porte et/ou du type de porte, serrure ou clenche.The trigger includes a permanent magnet 7 for sensing the magnetic switch 17, an adjusting screw 8 for adjusting the length of the magnetic trigger arm according to the position of the detector on the door and / or the type of door, lock or latch.

Le déclencheur 2 est fixé sur l'axe 18 de la clenche 10 par l'intermédiaire d'un cavalier amovible 19 au moyen de vis 9.The trigger 2 is fixed on the axis 18 of the latch 10 by means of a removable jumper 19 by means of screws 9.

En particulier, dans cette forme d'exécution préférée, le détecteur 1 est pourvu d'un indicateur de décharge de la batterie 20 et d'une touche sensitive 21, permettant la temporisation du déclenchement du buzzer. En effet, grâce à cette fonction, l'habitant qui a poussé sur ce bouton en quittant la maison, lorsqu'il regagne celle-ci, dispose d'un délai, par exemple de 10 secondes, pour entrer et refermer la porte. Dans le cas contraire l'alarme retentirait immédiatement.In particular, in this preferred embodiment, the detector 1 is provided with a discharge indicator of the battery 20 and a touch pad 21, allowing the delay of the buzzer trigger. Indeed, thanks to this function, the resident who pushed on this button when leaving the house, when he returns to it, has a delay, for example of 10 seconds, to enter and close the door. If not, the alarm will sound immediately.

La touche sensitive 22 permet de placer le détecteur sous tension en poussant une fois et de le mettre hors service en poussant deux fois (interrupteur « On/Off »).The sensitive key 22 makes it possible to put the detector under tension by pushing once and to put it out of service by pushing twice (switch "On / Off").

Par contre, lorsque la configuration du détecteur a été choisie, il suffit de presser la touche sensitive 22 constamment durant 10 secondes, et le détecteur est bloqué en position « On ». Il faut alors obligatoirement presser simultanément les touches 21 et 24 pour remettre le détecteur en position « Off ». Cette fonction est très utile pour éviter toute mise hors service du détecteur dans le cas où le bouton aurait été pressé accidentellement, par exemple par un enfant, la femme d'ouvrage, etc.On the other hand, when the configuration of the detector has been chosen, it suffices to press the sensitive key 22 constantly for 10 seconds, and the detector is locked in the "On" position. It is then necessary you must simultaneously press keys 21 and 24 to return the detector to the "Off" position. This function is very useful to prevent the detector from being switched off in the event that the button has been accidentally pressed, for example by a child, the housekeeper, etc.

Dans le même esprit, on peut également, en utilisant la durée pendant laquelle une touche est pressée ou en pressant simultanément deux touches, accéder à des fonctions ou applications additionnelles. Par exemple, on peut ainsi modifier le temps de fonctionnement du buzzer.In the same spirit, one can also, by using the duration during which a key is pressed or by simultaneously pressing two keys, to access additional functions or applications. For example, it is possible to modify the operating time of the buzzer.

Le détecteur est également muni d'un indicateur 23 signalant que la clenche de la porte a été actionnée. Lorsque l'habitant regagne sa maison ou son appartement, si la clenche de la porte a été actionnée durant son absence, cet indicateur lui permet donc de s'en assurer.The detector is also provided with an indicator 23 indicating that the latch of the door has been actuated. When the resident returns to his house or apartment, if the door latch was pressed during his absence, this indicator allows him to make sure.

Contrairement à la touche 21, la touche sensitive 24, lorsqu'elle est activée, permet d'enclencher le détecteur en mode instantané. Dès que la clenche est actionnée, le buzzer fonctionne instantanément.Unlike the key 21, the sensitive key 24, when activated, makes it possible to switch on the detector in instantaneous mode. As soon as the latch is activated, the buzzer works instantly.

Le détecteur est également pourvu d'un connecteur 16, permettant d'activer différentes fonctions, entre autres l'installation d'un deuxième buzzer, par exemple dans la chambre à coucher, de recharger la batterie ou d'alimenter le détecteur en tension par une source auxiliaire, ou encore de connecter le détecteur à une centrale d'alarme ou à un transmetteur téléphonique.The detector is also provided with a connector 16, enabling various functions to be activated, inter alia the installation of a second buzzer, for example in the bedroom, of recharging the battery or of supplying the detector with voltage by an auxiliary source, or to connect the detector to a central alarm or telephone transmitter.

La touche sensitive 25 permet de neutraliser le fonctionnement du détecteur durant une période de 10 secondes par exemple, de manière à permettre à l'habitant de quitter sa maison sans faire fonctionner le buzzer ou l'alarme.The touch pad 25 can neutralize the operation of the detector for a period of 10 seconds, for example, so as to allow the resident to leave his home without operating the buzzer or alarm.

Les touches sensitives 21,22,24,25 sont pourvues d'indicateurs électroluminescents (LED), destinés à permettre à l'utilisateur la visualisation des fonctions correspondantes (activation ou désactivation).The sensitive keys 21,22,24,25 are equipped with electroluminescent indicators (LEDs), intended to allow the user to visualize the corresponding functions (activation or deactivation).

Dans cette forme d'exécution, le détecteur est muni d'un seul interrupteur magnétique 17, qui est placé dans le même axe que le bras déclencheur 2. De ce fait, l'aimant 7 active en permanence l'interrupteur magnétique 17. Suivant le sens de rotation de la clenche 10, lorsque l'aimant 7 va se déplacer vers la gauche ou la droite, l'interrupteur magnétique 17 ne sera plus sensibilisé. Le contact va s'ouvrir et enclencher le processus de détection et d'alarme. Il en est de même en cas de démontage de l'axe de la clenche. Le principe de fonctionnement est donc inversé par rapport à la première forme d'exécution préférée, comportant deux interrupteurs magnétiques.In this embodiment, the detector is provided with a single magnetic switch 17, which is placed in the same axis as the trigger arm 2. As a result, the magnet 7 permanently activates the magnetic switch 17. Next the direction of rotation of the latch 10, when the magnet 7 will move to the left or right, the magnetic switch 17 will no longer be sensitized. The contact will open and start the detection and alarm process. It is the same in case of disassembly of the axis of the latch. The operating principle is therefore reversed with respect to the first preferred embodiment, comprising two magnetic switches.

Enfin, sur la face arrière, le détecteur est muni d'un dispositif 26 permettant d'enclencher immédiatement le buzzer si le détecteur est arraché ou déplacé de son support. Ce dispositif est très utile pour assurer la sécurité du détecteur.Finally, on the rear face, the detector is provided with a device 26 for immediately engaging the buzzer if the detector is torn off or moved from its support. This device is very useful for ensuring the safety of the detector.

Les figures 2 et 4 représentent un exemple d'installation du dispositif selon l'invention sur la porte d'entrée d'un bâtiment ou appartement quelconque, muni du système le plus classique d'ouverture comportant un axe pourvu de clenches 10 ainsi qu'un verrou mobile 30. Néanmoins, comme nous l'avons déjà mentionné ci-dessus, il peut protéger maisons, appartements, garages, magasins, bureaux, etc., au niveau de n'importe quelle porte ou fenêtre.FIGS. 2 and 4 show an example of installation of the device according to the invention on the entrance door of any building or apartment, provided with the most conventional opening system comprising an axis provided with latches 10 and However, as already mentioned above, it can protect houses, apartments, garages, shops, offices, etc., at any door or window.

Bien que le détecteur à lui seul soit totalement autonome, il peut idéalement compléter une centrale d'alarme existante pour remplir une fonction qui, jusqu'à présent, était totalement ignorée.Although the detector alone is completely autonomous, it can ideally complement an existing control panel to perform a function that, until now, was completely ignored.
