Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a burglary-prevention device for containers with telematic connection.
- As is known, handling of goods is carried out chiefly using containers. It is also known how many of these containers get tampered with, lost, or stolen during the shipping operations, for example by sea.
- In order to trace the movement of containers, there has been proposed the use of RFID devices that are associated to the containers and are queried by reading systems arranged at check barriers, for example customs barriers, or via portable RFID reading systems. Said RFID devices may, however, be easily removed from the container, rendering in effect the querying system uncertain in so far as the container could be stolen or tampered with, while the RFID device is kept in place in order to simulate the presence of the container itself. Moreover, not all RFID devices lose their functionality following upon tampering, so that they continue to be identified, without any possibility of realizing that they have been tampered with.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a device whereby it will be easy to identify attempts at removal of the RFID device or of theft or burglary of the container.
- The above aim is achieved by the present invention in so far as it regards a burglary-prevention device for containers of the type specified in
Claim 1. The invention will now be described with reference to the attached drawings, which illustrate a preferred non-limiting embodiment thereof and in which: -
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a burglary-prevention device for containers with telematic connection in an operating condition; -
Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views of a first part (electronic lock) of the device ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a first portion of the electronic lock; -
Figures 5 and 6 are partially exploded perspective views of a second portion of the electronic lock; and -
Figures 7, 8 , and9 illustrate installation of the burglary-prevention device. - In
Figure 1 designated as a whole by 1 is a burglary-prevention device for containers with telematic connection. - The
device 1 comprises anelectronic lock 3, which can be coupled to afirst lock eye 4a and asecond lock eye 4b of a door 5 (represented partially) of a container (not illustrated as a whole). Thedevice 1 comprises an RFID device, which will be described in greater detail hereinafter. - According to the example of embodiment illustrated, the
lock eyes rectangular metal plates 6, stably connected to edges of respective leaves of the door 5 and provided with circular through holes 7 for housing of thelock 3 with the modalities that will be clarified hereinafter. - The
device 1 further comprises atelematic unit 10 connected via cable to the RFID device and designed to communicate, by means of known technologies, with a central control unit (not illustrated) for transmitting the detected instantaneous position of the telematic unit and other information. Thetelematic unit 10 is designed to detect the integrity of the circuit connection between the RFID device and thetelematic unit 10 itself and is designed to emit a warning of possible burglary in the case of even partial interruption of the circuit connection. The data connection between the telematic unit and the central unit is made by means of known technologies, for example cellular and/or satellite data network. - The
telematic unit 10 is housed within aprotective casing 12 made of high-strength plastic material and provided with permanent magnets (seeFigure 9 ) for connection of theprotective casing 12 to a metal wall of the container 5. In the example of embodiment illustrated, theprotective casing 12 has a parallelpipedal shape with rounded corners and is provided with a base wall (Figure 9 ), provided on which are four cylindrical lowered seats, within which thepermanent magnets 13, which have a cylindrical shape, are arranged. Thepermanent magnets 13 project by a few millimetres from the base wall. The base wall is also provided with an optional central biadhesive element. Theprotective casing 12 is provided with apushbutton 14 that can be operated for activating thedevice 10, and with a warning LED that, when lit up, indicates that thetelematic unit 10 is operating. Thetelematic unit 10, following upon its activation, can only be deactivated in a remote way by means of technologies of a known type that will not be described any further. It is consequently not possible to act from outside thetelematic unit 10 to deactivate it. - With reference to
Figures 2 and 3 , theelectronic lock 3 comprises abody 15, elongated along anaxis 16 and configured for engaging, in use, thelock eyes axis 16 coinciding with the axis of the holes 7 of thelock eyes - The
elongated body 15 has afirst end portion 15a widened in a radial direction designed to come to bear, in use, upon theplate 6 of afirst lock eye 4a, and asecond end portion 15b of the elongated body is configured for providing, in a stable coupling position (described in greater detail hereinafter, an electrical and mechanical connection with a supportingstructure 17 that houses the RFID device. The supportingstructure 17 is configured for bearing, in use, upon theplate 6 of thesecond lock eye 4b. - With particular reference to
Figure 4 , theelongated body 15 comprises a cylindrical tubular element that defines an internalcylindrical cavity 18 sharing theaxis 16. - The
elongated body 15, at itssecond end portion 15b, has a planerectangular portion 19, which extends in an axial direction and onto which arectangular window 21 communicating with the internalcylindrical cavity 18 opens. Conveniently but not exclusively, theelongated body 15 is made of polycarbonate with glass-fibre filler. - The internal cylindrical cavity houses an elongated rectangular printed
circuit 23, which is set parallel to theaxis 16 and is stably fixed within thecavity 18. The printedcircuit 23 defines a plurality of electrical lines (bus) having first ends communicating with an electrical cable 24 (see alsoFigures 1 ,2, and 3 ) that exits from thefirst end portion 15a and ensures connection between theelectronic lock 3 and thetelematic unit 10. - The electrical lines (bus) have second free end portions that provide pads 26 (in the example, six rectangular pads, but the number and shape may obviously be different) configured for providing an electrical connection with the RFID device when the supporting
structure 17 is properly coupled to thesecond end portion 15b of theelongated body 15 in the stable coupling position. In this way, decoupling of the supportingstructure 17 from thesecond end portion 15b causes interruption of the electrical connection between thepads 26 and the RFID device. - Typically, the first end portion of the
body 15 is obtained by co-moulding, on the cylindrical tubular element, a rigid plastic that englobes theelectrical cable 24 and seals theinternal cavity 18. - The supporting structure 17 (
Figure 5 ) comprises aplane casing 30, entirely housing the RFID device, and centring andlocking elements 31, designed to provide a positioning of theplane casing 17 on theelongated body 15 in the stable coupling position in which thepads 26 are connected to the RFID device. - The
plane casing 17 has a rectangular shape and comprises ashell 32 that defines a loweredrectangular seat 33, which houses a plane rectangular printedcircuit 34, provided on which is the RFID device, which can operate both in passive mode and in active mode. The electronic circuits (UHF antenna, transmitter/receiver device, microprocessor unit, energy-storage unit, etc.) provided on the printedcircuit 34 are of a standard type and for this reason will not be described any further. - The
shell 32 is closed by a plane wall 35 (not illustrated inFigure 6 ) provided with a centralrectangular window 36, accessible through which, from outside thecasing 30, are elasticelectrical terminals 37 carried by abase 38, which extends from the printed circuit at thewindow 35. Therectangular window 36 can be provided with a rectangular perimetral gasket made of soft material. The electrical terminals 37 (in the example, six electrical terminals, but the number and shape may obviously be different) are designed to couple withrespective pads 26 when theplane casing 17 is set in the stable coupling position. The connection between theshell 32 and theplane wall 35 can be obtained by gluing or by ultrasonic welding. - The
locking elements 31 comprise a pair of rectilinearelastic appendages 40 set facing and parallel to one another carried by arectangular flange 42 that extends from a central portion of a side wall of theshell 32. Theappendages 40 extend perpendicular to the plane defined by thewall 35 and are provided with widenedend portions 42d. The distance between theappendages 40 is a little less than the diameter of the tubularelongated body 15. Saidappendages 40 are configured for pressing on the elongated body when this is set between theappendages 40 themselves in the stable coupling position. - The
centring elements 31 comprise acylindrical pin 50, which extends from theflange 42 parallel to theappendages 40 between which it is set, and a cylindrical seat 52 (seeFigure 4 ), provided on the side wall of theelongated body 15 and designed to house thepin 52 in the stable coupling position. - Finally, the supporting structure has a first through hole 70 (
Figures 5 and 6 ), and thesecond end portion 15b of theelongated body 15 has a second throughhole 72, said holes being arranged coaxial and in communication with one another in the stable coupling position. Theseholes filiform element 74 of a mechanical security seal of a known type (Figure 8 ). - In use, to install the
device 1 the door of the container is closed by means of the mechanical closing devices of a known type. In this position, theplates 6 are parallel to one another and the holes 7 are coaxial. Theprotective casing 12 is then fixed to a portion of the door of the container 5 using the permanent magnets (seeFigure 1 ), and theelongated body 15, without the supportingstructure 17, is inserted in the holes 7 until thefirst end portion 15a comes to bear upon thefirst lock eye 4a. In this position, thesecond end portion 15b of the elongated body exits for a stretch from thesecond lock eye 4b. The supportingstructure 17 is then pushed against the second end portion that exits from thelock eye 4b. In this way, theappendages 40 divaricate by being elastically loaded, and then thetubular body 15 snaps between theappendages 40, which push it to come so that it bears upon thewall 35. Conveniently, during these operations the end of thesecond end portion 15 sets itself bearing upon acontrast wall 55 that extends from the wall 35 (Figure 7 ). - The
pin 50 engages thecylindrical seat 52, thus providing the stable coupling position in which thepads 26 couple with the electrical terminals 37 (Figure 8 ). Thetelematic unit 10 recognises a complete connection between the RFID unit and the electronic circuits (not illustrated) that query the RFID unit. Theelectronic unit 10 associates to said complete connection a completely closed state of the electronic lock. This state is sent to the central control unit by data transmission. - When the container is in the proximity of an electronic barrier provided with system for querying the RFID unit a connection is set up between said querying system and the
telematic unit 10 for control of the passage of the containers through the barrier, which may, for example, be a customs barrier. These operations occur according to known technologies and are consequently not described any further. - Any possible mechanical tampering of the electronic lock leads to interruption of the connection between the RFID unit and the
telematic unit 10, for example: - a) cutting of the
electrical cable 24 involves interruption of the connection between the RFID unit and thetelematic unit 10; - b) cutting of the
elongated body 15 involves cutting of the printedcircuit 23 and of the buses formed thereon; also in this case, thetelematic unit 10 is disconnected from the RFID unit; - c) the attempt at tampering with the supporting
structure 17 generally involves decoupling between thepads 26 and theelectrical terminals 37 in so far as the parts move away from the stable coupling position; also in this case, thetelematic unit 10 is disconnected from the RFID unit; - d) removal of the supporting
structure 17 necessarily involves decoupling between thepads 26 and theelectrical terminals 37; also in this case, thetelematic unit 10 is disconnected from the RFID unit. - The
unit 10 promptly sends an alarm message in the conditions a) - d) referred to above, notifying the control centre of and attempt in progress at burglary of the container. The central unit can hence activate all the operations necessary for management of the event. In this way, the burglary event is immediately detected and is associated to a precise geographical position, enabling effective intervention.
