Definitions
- the present invention can be applied to the security field and relates, in particular, to the field of anti-theft and anti-tampering systems.
- the present invention relates to an anti-theft and/or anti-tampering protection system, particularly, but not exclusively, suitable to be coupled to electrical or electronic systems such as, for example, automatic payment systems or cash dispensers.
- the protection of objects from theft has become a more and more evident issue over the years and techniques related to it have been strongly developed.
- the aim is to provide increasingly effective anti-theft or anti-tampering systems that are cost-effective and easy to implement at the same time.
- Known systems generally comprise a logic control unit to which one or more sensors, suitable to detect the object conditions, are associated, in order to signal anomalies that generally correspond to theft or tampering attempts.
- Alarm means often consisting of one or more sirens, or one or more flashing lights, or other, are then associated to the same logic control unit.
- optical sensors consisting of a light emitter and a receiver in order to create an optical barrier whose interruption means attempted theft
- magnetic sensors consisting of a magnet located next to a magnetic switch whose displacement means attempted theft.
- automatic payment systems are involved, however, they are typically constituted by a mechanical switch that detects if the system itself is in contact with a fixed wall. The change of state of this contact corresponds to system removal which, if fraudulent, triggers the alarm state.
- any type of sensor for detecting theft or tampering attempts is connected to a switch, which is normally either open or closed and whose change of state means alarm.
- the typically known protection systems are connected to the power supply of the apparatus or object that they must protect. Since the power supply may be temporarily unavailable, they often include a battery. In some cases, however, the device to which the protection system is connected may supply little electricity for the operation of the protection system, which must therefore be substantially autonomous. Even in this case, in the known art, the problem is solved by using batteries.
- a first drawback is that the battery has a limited life time and must therefore be regularly replaced. Moreover, it is bulky and generally heavy. However, rechargeable batteries are often used, but these need a special recharging circuit that not only takes up space, but also takes time to charge the batteries and often has unacceptable levels of electrical consumption.
- the present invention aims, at least, at partially overcoming the above-mentioned drawbacks by providing an anti-theft and anti-tampering protection system which is capable of detecting theft or tampering attempts, even if power supply is interrupted.
- An additional aim is to make a protection system available, whose size, footprint and weight are optimized for it to be easily integrated into any device.
- Another additional aim is that the operation of the protection system must not undergo periodic maintenance such as, for example, the replacement of batteries.
- An additional aim is that the protection system consumes less power than the known systems.
- it includes at least one electric accumulator, which will discharge rapidly if the system is tampered with.
- it comprises at least one rapid discharge electrical circuit of the same accumulator and at least one actuator to activate such discharge electrical circuit if the system is subject to theft or tampering.
- the accumulator integrated in the system of the invention is a rapid discharge accumulator, so that its charged/discharged state indicates that a theft or a tampering attempt was made.
- such an accumulator comprises a condenser, in such a way that the use of one or more batteries involving the above-mentioned drawbacks is not necessary.
- the protection system also includes at least one electrical circuit replicating the charged and discharged states, which is operably connected to the accumulator.
- Such replicating electrical circuit has a very high input impedance (tending to infinity) on the connection to the accumulator, so as to substantially isolate the accumulator both when the replicating electrical circuit is powered and when it is disconnected.
- the replicating electrical circuit allows the rapid discharge accumulator to advantageously retain its charged/discharged state in case of power failure.
- electrical circuits tend to have parasitic resistances or inductances, which are enough to allow a discharge process of capacitors in a few minutes or seconds, especially if no power is supplied.
- the circuit of the invention prevents this from happening by substantially isolating the accumulator, thereby limiting the energy absorption from the outside even more.
- the replicating electrical circuit comprises at least one MosFet-type transistor, whose gate is operatively connected to the accumulator. Since one of the main features of such a transistor is to have an almost infinite input impedance on the gate, this advantageously allows to achieve the above-mentioned electrical isolation.
- the simplicity of the chosen electrical components makes it possible to obtain a small, easy to assemble and low energy consumption protection system. It is thus easy to integrate in essentially any known device.
- Fig. 1 described herein is an anti-theft and anti-tampering protection system 1.
- Such a system 1 can be associated with any device that needs protection, although in this description it is applied to an automatic payment system. In this sense, as it is typically the case and as shown in Fig. 1 , the system 1 is stably coupled to a wall P so that any removal attempt of the same is easily detectable. Obviously, this feature should not be considered as a limiting feature for this invention.
- the protection system 1 of the invention comprises, as shown in Fig. 2 , an electrical accumulator 2 of a type that allows rapid discharge processes when, for example, its poles are short-circuited or connected by a low impedance. It is therefore sufficient to make this happen in case of an attempted theft or tampering with the system 1.
- the system 1 also includes a rapid discharge electric circuit 3 of the accumulator 2.
- the accumulator 2 is made of an electrolytic capacitor 4. This should not be considered as a limitation for different embodiments of the invention, where different types of capacitors or accumulators other than a condenser are used, provided that they cause a nearly instantaneous discharge process as it is the case of a capacitor should the poles generate a short circuit.
- the rapid discharge circuit 3 comprises an actuator 5 for activating said discharge circuit 3 in case of attempted theft or tampering with the system 1.
- such actuator 5 is constituted by a mechanical switch operably connected to the wall P so that its disconnection - even just a temporary one - activates the rapid discharge electrical circuit 3 , causing the virtually immediate discharge of the accumulator 2.
- the actuator can be of any type, since, in any case, its practical layout is still constituted by a switch whose activation closes the rapid discharge circuit.
- the latter is constituted by the electrical series of a resistor 6 and the actuator 5 connected at the two ends of the accumulator 2 so that the closure of the switch, shown in Fig. 3 , causes the discharge current to circulate on the accumulator 2.
- the presence of the resistor 6 allows to set a limit to the maximum discharge current in order to avoid any damage to the accumulator 2 while maintaining the discharge time of the accumulator substantially equal to zero.
- An important aspect of a protection system is the detection of the alarm state. In such a case, this means detecting the charged/discharged state of the accumulator 2. However, this must take place without taking away the electrical charge from the same accumulator 2.
- buffers are typically used that have high input impedances so as not to charge the accumulator.
- drawback characterising such circuits is the fact that they all absorb electrical current when no power is supplied.
- the protection system 1 also includes at least one replicating electrical circuit 10 of the charged and discharged states, which is operably connected to the accumulator 2 to replicate its state.
- the replicating electrical circuit 10 is configured to always have, on the connection to the accumulator 2 , a high-input impedance so as to substantially isolate the accumulator 2 even when the replicating electrical circuit 10 is not powered.
- the unwanted discharge process of the accumulator 2 is limited, if not almost cancelled, when the protection system 1 is not powered.
- the replicating electrical circuit 10 comprises one MosFet-type transistor 11 , whose gate is operatively connected to the accumulator 2.
- Such a configuration advantageously allows to save the charge of the accumulator 2 when the system 1 is either powered or not powered. This allows the use of simple, small and low energy consumption electrical components such as capacitors as accumulators.
- system 1 of the invention is advantageously compact since it is made of particularly small electronic components.
- the same components that have been herein mentioned as an example of an embodiment are very low energy consumption components and therefore the system 1 can be easily applied to any device.
- the system 1 also includes a recharging circuit 12 of the accumulator 2 so as to keep it charged over time and avoid that, even though it is substantially isolated, it may accidentally discharge over a long time and trigger a false alarm state.
- such recharging circuit 12 comprises an electrical decoupling component 13 , constituted, for example, by a diode, and such as to allow to substantially isolate the accumulator 2 from such recharging circuit 12 when it is not powered.
- a resistor 14 is then present, placed in series with respect to the recharging circuit 12 to protect it should the actuator 5 be activated when the system 1 is powered.
- the protection system 1 comprises a control circuit 15 of the threshold value of the charged/discharged state detected by the replicating electrical circuit 10.
- it consists of a voltage divider to increase the voltage at the drain of the MosFet transistor 11 so as to push to the maximum limit the transition threshold between the charged state and the discharged state.
- Such embodiment is obviously a non-limiting example for the invention.
- this advantageously allows to prevent any non-linear behaviour of the discharge process of the accumulator 2 from affecting the detection of the change of state.
- the system 1 also includes an insulating cover, not shown in the figures, which is made of, for example, a suitable resin.
- such coverage allows to improve the isolation of the accumulator 2 whose parasitic discharge process is even more limited.
- the isolation does not allow access to the electrical poles of the accumulator 2 , thus preventing tampering with its charge state by any attacker or intruder.
- the described protection system must not undergo compulsory regular maintenance operations and it absorbs less external energy than the known systems.
