Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung eines Zustands eines Fensters oder einer Tür. Eine derartige Vorrichtung wird üblicherweise z.B. in Fensters oder Türen eingesetzt, um festzustellen, ob das jeweilige Bauteil geschlossen, geöffnet oder in einem Zwischenzustand, z.B. gekippt, ist. Die Vorrichtung ist mit einer Alarmanlage oder dgl. gekoppelt. Das Dokument EP 1 918 890 B1 gibt eine solche Vorrichtung an. The invention relates to a device for detecting a state of a window or a door. Such a device is commonly used e.g. used in windows or doors to determine whether the respective component is closed, opened or in an intermediate state, e.g. is tilted. The device is coupled to an alarm system or the like. The document EP 1 918 890 B1 indicates such a device.
Im Zuge immer häufiger werdender gewaltsamer Einbrüche und auch extern bedingter Gewalteinwirkungen, wie z.B. Wettereinwirkungen, Unfälle und dgl., besteht ein Bedarf an verbesserten und erweiterten Vorrichtungen dieser Art. In the course of increasingly frequent violent burglaries and externally related violence, such. Weather effects, accidents and the like., There is a need for improved and extended devices of this type.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht daher darin, eine verbesserte Vorrichtung zur Erfassung eines Zustands eines Fensters oder einer Tür zu schaffen Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved device for detecting a state of a window or a door. The object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.
Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, eine schon vorhandene Vorrichtung mit einer zweiten Sensoreinheit zu versehen, welche zur Erfassung eines weiteren Zustands des Fensters oder der Tür vorgesehen ist und Vibrationen bzw. Schwingungen erfasst. A basic idea of the invention is to provide an already existing device with a second sensor unit, which is provided for detecting a further state of the window or the door and detects vibrations or oscillations.
Demgemäß umfasst eine Vorrichtung zur Erfassung eines Zustands eines Fensters oder einer Tür mindestens eine erste Sensoreinheit zur Erfassung eines Zu- Stands eines/einer geöffneten, gekippten oder geschlossenen Fensters/Tür mittels eines Potentiometers als erster Sensor und eines damit verbundenen Betätigers. Die Vorrichtung ist mit mindestens einer zweiten Sensoreinheit zur Erfassung eines weiteren Zustands des Fensters oder der Tür versehen, wobei dieser Zustand Vibrationen bzw. Schwingungen aufweist, die durch Gewaltein- Wirkung herbeigeführt sind. „ Accordingly, a device for detecting a state of a window or door includes at least a first sensor unit for detecting a state of an open, tilted or closed window / door by means of a potentiometer as a first sensor and an actuator associated therewith. The device is provided with at least one second sensor unit for detecting a further state of the window or the door, this state having vibrations caused by the action of force. "
In einer Ausführung weist die die mindestens eine zweite Sensoreinheit mindestens einen zweiten Sensor auf, welcher ein Schwingungssensor ist. Schwingungssensoren sind in großer Auswahl und hoher Qualität kostengünstig erhältlich und weisen nur geringen Bauraum auf. In one embodiment, the at least one second sensor unit has at least one second sensor, which is a vibration sensor. Vibration sensors are available in a large selection and high quality at low cost and have little space.
Eine weitere Ausführung sieht hierfür vor, dass der mindestens eine zweite Sensor als Schwingungssensor mit mindestens einem piezokeramischen bimorphen Element ausgebildet ist. Wenn der mindestens eine zweite Sensor mindestens eine bevorzugte Wirkrichtung aufweist, kann er in der Vorrichtung entsprechend angeordnet werden, wodurch die bevorzugte Wirkrichtung den Vorteil erbringt, dass eine Signalamplitude eines in dieser Wirkrichtung erfassten Signals besonders hoch ist. Somit ist kann ein ursprünglicher Einbauort der Vorrichtung weiterhin verwendet werden, wobei das Sensorelement mit seiner Wirkrichtung in die Richtung ausgerichtet werden muss, in welcher eine Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Gewalteinwirkung am größten ist. Dazu können einschlägige Erfahrungswerte herangezogen werden. A further embodiment provides for this that the at least one second sensor is designed as a vibration sensor with at least one piezoceramic bimorph element. If the at least one second sensor has at least one preferred direction of action, it can be arranged correspondingly in the device, whereby the preferred operating direction has the advantage that a signal amplitude of a signal detected in this direction of action is particularly high. Thus, an original mounting location of the device can still be used, wherein the sensor element must be aligned with its effective direction in the direction in which a probability of violence is greatest. Relevant empirical values can be used for this purpose.
In einer noch weiteren Ausführung weist die Vorrichtung eine Steuervorrichtung mit einer Anpassungseinheit für die mindestens eine zweite Sensoreinheit, zwei Auswertungseinheiten für jeweils eine Sensoreinheit und eine Sendeeinheit. Damit ist ein kompakter Aufbau ermöglicht. In yet another embodiment, the device has a control device with an adaptation unit for the at least one second sensor unit, two evaluation units for a respective sensor unit and a transmission unit. This makes a compact design possible.
In einer anderen Ausführung weist die Anpassungseinheit mindestens eine Fil- terschaltung auf, die zur selektiven Filterung eines Ausgangssignals des zweiten Sensors dient. Hierin ergibt sich der Vorteil einer besonderen Signalselektierung zur Reduzierung von Fehlmeldungen. In another embodiment, the matching unit has at least one filter circuit, which serves for the selective filtering of an output signal of the second sensor. This gives the advantage of a special signal selection to reduce false alarms.
Hierzu kann die Auswertungseinheit für die zweite Sensoreinheit mindestens für eine Auswertung von zeitlicher Länge und Amplitude der Signale der zweiten Sensoreinheit ausgebildet sein. Dadurch wird eine Selektierung und Präzision erhöht. Wenn z.B. bei Gewalteinwirkung mit einem Hammer eine Glasscheibe erst beim zweiten oder dritte Mal zerstört wird, kann durch Auswerten der dadurch erzeugten Signale über einen bestimmten Zeitraum die Häufigkeit ihres Auftretens erfasst und somit von z.B. anderen periodischen Geräuschen bzw.For this purpose, the evaluation unit for the second sensor unit can be designed at least for an evaluation of the time length and amplitude of the signals of the second sensor unit. This increases selectivity and precision. If e.g. In the case of a hammer, a glass pane is destroyed only at the second or third time, and by evaluating the signals generated thereby over a certain period of time, the frequency of its occurrence can be detected and thus reduced by e.g. other periodic noises or
Signalen unterschieden werden. Diese gilt auch bei anderen Werkzeugen, mit denen Rahmen oder andere Bauteile aufgebrochen werden sollen. In einer noch weiteren Ausführung kann die Auswertungseinheit für die zweite Sensoreinheit zur Analyse von Signalverläufen der Signale der zweiten Sensoreinheit ausgebildet sein, wobei ein Vergleich mit vorher gespeicherten Kurvenformen durchgeführt wird. Hiermit ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Auswertung mit bedeutender Reduzierung von Fehlalarmen möglich. Auch eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Umgebungs- und Einbaubedingungen lässt sich somit einfach realisieren. Signals are distinguished. This also applies to other tools with which frames or other components are to be broken. In yet another embodiment, the evaluation unit for the second sensor unit can be designed to analyze signal characteristics of the signals of the second sensor unit, wherein a comparison with previously stored waveforms is performed. This makes a particularly advantageous evaluation with significant reduction of false alarms possible. An adaptation to different environmental and installation conditions can thus be easily realized.
In einer anderen Ausführung kann eine zusätzlich Auswertungseinheit vorgesehen sein, welche der ersten Sensoreinheit zugeordnet ist und deren Ausganssignale auf Schwingungen untersucht. Auf diese Weise kann eine Plausibilisierung der erfassten Signale ermöglicht werden. In another embodiment, an additional evaluation unit may be provided, which is assigned to the first sensor unit and examines the Ausganssignale to vibrations. In this way, a plausibility of the detected signals can be made possible.
Ein besonders vorteilhafter raumsparender Aufbau ergibt sich, wenn die mindestens eine erste Sensoreinheit und die mindestens eine zweite Sensoreinheit in einem Gehäuse angeordnet sind. Das Gehäuse kann z.B. aus einem wetterfesten Kunststoff hergestellt sein, wobei eine geeignete Schutzart gegen Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit und Staub in einfacher Weise auf ein Minimum reduziert werden kann. A particularly advantageous space-saving construction results when the at least one first sensor unit and the at least one second sensor unit are arranged in a housing. The housing may e.g. be made of a weatherproof plastic, with a suitable protection against ingress of moisture and dust can be reduced to a minimum in a simple manner.

Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit einem teilweise geöffneten Gehäuse. Die Vorrichtung 1 zur Erfassung eines Zustands eines Fensters oder einer Tür weist eine erste Sensoreinheit 3 und eine zweite Sensoreinheit 7 in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse 2 auf. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a device according to the invention with a partially opened housing. The device 1 for detecting a state of a window or a door has a first sensor unit 3 and a second sensor unit 7 in a common housing 2.
Die Vorrichtung 1 ist zum Einbau in ein Fenster oder eine Tür vorgesehen. Hierzu wird auf das Dokument EP 1 918 890 B1 verwiesen. The device 1 is intended for installation in a window or a door. Reference is made to document EP 1 918 890 B1.
Das Gehäuse 2 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem wetterfesten Kunststoff hergestellt und weist eine im Wesentlichen quaderförmige Gestalt auf.The housing 2 is made in this embodiment of a weatherproof plastic and has a substantially cuboid shape.
Es erstreckt sich in einer Längsrichtung hier in Richtung der y-Koordinate und in einer Breitenrichtung in Richtung der x-Koordinate, wobei eine Höhe in z- Richtung verläuft. Die erste Sensoreinheit 3 ist hier in einem oberen Viertel des Gehäuses 2 angeordnet und weist einen ersten Sensor 4 auf. Der Sensor 4 ist als ein Potentiometer ausgebildet. Das Potentiometer wirkt mit einem Betätiger 5 zusammen, welcher in einer Wirkrichtung 5a in x-Richtung verschiebbar ist. Die erste Sensoreinheit 3 dient zur Erfassung von den folgenden Zuständen eines Fensters oder ei- ner Tür, nämlich„offen",„gekippt",„geschlossen". Eine detaillierte Beschreibung ist dem Dokument EP 1 918 890 B1 zu entnehmen. Auf diese Schrift wird hiermit in dieser Offenbarung Referenz genommen. Die erste Sensoreinheit 3 wird daher im Folgenden nicht weiter beschrieben, nur wenn es im Zusammenhang notwendig ist. It extends in a longitudinal direction here in the direction of the y-coordinate and in a width direction in the direction of the x-coordinate, with a height extending in the z-direction. The first sensor unit 3 is arranged here in an upper quarter of the housing 2 and has a first sensor 4. The sensor 4 is designed as a potentiometer. The potentiometer cooperates with an actuator 5, which is displaceable in an effective direction 5a in the x direction. The first sensor unit 3 is used to detect the following states of a window or a door, namely "open", "tilted", "closed" A detailed description can be found in the document EP 1 918 890 B1 The first sensor unit 3 will therefore not be further described below unless it is necessary in connection with it.
In einem mittleren Längsabschnitt des Gehäuses 2 ist eine Trägereinheit 6 mit der zweiten Sensoreinheit 7 und einer Steuervorrichtung 1 0 angeordnet. In a central longitudinal section of the housing 2, a carrier unit 6 with the second sensor unit 7 and a control device 1 0 is arranged.
Die Trägereinheit 6 ist hier eine Leiterplatte, z.B. in Multilayerausführung mit ent- sprechenden SMD-Bauteilen, um geringsten Bauraum zu beanspruchen. The carrier unit 6 is here a printed circuit board, e.g. in multilayer design with corresponding SMD components, in order to take up the least amount of space.
Die zweite Sensoreinheit 7 weist mindestens einen zweiten Sensor 8 auf, welcher hier in x-Richtung ausgerichtet angeordnet ist. Der zweite Sensor 8 dient zur Erfassung eines weiteren Zustands des Fensters oder der Tür, bei welchem Schwingungen bzw. Vibrationen erzeugt werden. Diese Schwingungen können sowohl mechanisch als auch akustisch sein. Ein solcher Zustand ist z.B. durch eine Gewalteinwirkung herbeigeführt und einem Vorgang einer Beschädigung, Zerstörung oder eines Brechens von Bauteilen des Fensters oder der Tür zugeordnet. Dies kann z.B. bei Zerschlagen und Bersten von Glas (Fensterscheiben), Brechen und/oder Zersplittern von Holz- oder/und Kunststoffbauteilen, Brechen, Verbiegen oder Knirschgeräusche von Metallbauteilen, Knackgeräusche von Werkzeugen wie Brecheisen, Hammer, Meißel, Schraubendreher im Zusammenhang mit anderen Bauteilen auftreten. The second sensor unit 7 has at least one second sensor 8, which is arranged here aligned in the x-direction. The second sensor 8 serves to detect a further state of the window or the door, in which vibrations are generated. These vibrations can be both mechanical and acoustic. Such a condition is caused, for example, by an act of violence and associated with a process of damage, destruction or breakage of components of the window or door. This can be eg when smashing and bursting of glass (window panes), Breaking and / or splintering of wood and / or plastic components, breaking, bending or cracking noises of metal components, crackling noises of tools such as crowbar, hammer, chisel, screwdriver in connection with other components occur.
Die Gewaltanwendung kann bewusst, z.B. als Einbruch oder Sachbeschädigung, aber auch umständehalber, z.B. durch Wetter oder Unfall u.dgl. erfolgen. The use of force can be conscious, e.g. as burglary or property damage, but also circumstantial, e.g. by weather or accident and the like. respectively.
Auf diese Weise kann ein Zustand eines Fensters oder einer Tür nicht nur bei ei- nem Einbruch bzw. einer Gewalteinwirkung sondern auch bei Unfällen aller Art mit Gewalteinwirkung erfasst werden. Dies kann zusätzlich zu der ersten Sensoreinheit 3 erfolgen. Ein Erfassen mit der zweiten Sensoreinheit 7 ist aber auch selbständig möglich, z.B. wenn die erste Sensoreinheit 3 defekt ist (z.B. durch Gewaltanwendung klemmt) oder nicht aktiviert wird. In this way, a condition of a window or a door can be detected not only in the event of a burglary or an act of violence but also in the case of accidents of all kinds with violence. This can be done in addition to the first sensor unit 3. Detecting with the second sensor unit 7 is also possible independently, e.g. if the first sensor unit 3 is defective (e.g., jammed by force) or not activated.
Mechanische und akustische Schwingungen, die z.B. durch Einwirkungen wie Regen, Sturm, Hagel, Gewitter u.dgl. sowie z.B. Vogelschlag bedingt sind und von der zweiten Sensoreinheit 7 erfasst werden, können in einer Auswertung der von der zweiten Sensoreinheit 7 dadurch erzeugten Signale ausgenommen wer- den. Es ist auch möglich, dass der zweite Sensor 8 für einen spezifischen Frequenzbereich von Geräuschen bei Gewalteinwirkung so ausgestaltet ist, dass gerade solche Vibrationen besonders sicher erfasst werden können. Mechanical and acoustic vibrations, e.g. through effects such as rain, storm, hail, thunderstorms and the like. as well as e.g. Bird strike are conditional and are detected by the second sensor unit 7, can be excluded in an evaluation of the second sensor unit 7 thereby generated signals. It is also possible for the second sensor 8 to be configured for a specific frequency range of noises in the event of violence so that it is precisely such vibrations that can be detected particularly reliably.

Es können auch Signalverläufe analysiert werden, wobei diese mit vorher gespeicherten Kurvenformen verglichen werden, die bestimmten charakteristischen Geräuschen von Gewaltanwendung entsprechen. 1 1 amplified and filtered signals through. In this case, a time length and amplitude is also evaluated. Waveforms may also be analyzed, which are compared to previously stored waveforms corresponding to certain characteristic noises of force application.
Ein Vogelschlag ist z.B. zeitlich kurz, weist aber eine nur mäßige Amplitude im Signalverlauf auf. Im Gegensatz dazu ist ein Hammerschlag zum Zerschlagen einer Scheibe auch zeitlich kurz, aber das erfasste Signal hat dabei eine wesentlich höhere Amplitude und kann zu einem Vogelschlag unterschiedliche Fre- quenzen und Frequenzverläufe aufweisen. A bird strike is e.g. short in time, but has only a moderate amplitude in the waveform. In contrast, a hammer blow to smash a disc is also short in time, but the detected signal has a much higher amplitude and can have different frequencies and frequency responses to a bird strike.
Selbstverständlich können auch andere Signalcharakteristika und weitere Unterscheidungsmerkmale in die Auswertung mit eingehen. So kann die Auswer- tungseinheit 1 2 auch eine Einrichtung zur Plausibilisierung von Signalen aufweisen. Of course, other signal characteristics and other distinguishing features can also be included in the evaluation. So the ejection Processing unit 1 2 also have a device for plausibility of signals.
Wenn die Auswertungseinheit 1 2 nach Auswertung festgestellt hat, dass ein Zu- stand des Fensters oder der Tür einer Gewaltanwendung entspricht, erzeugt die Auswertungseinheit 1 2 ein entsprechendes Signal, das sie an die Sendeeinheit 14 weiterleitet. If the evaluation unit 1 2 has determined after evaluation that a state of the window or the door corresponds to a use of force, the evaluation unit 1 2 generates a corresponding signal, which forwards it to the transmission unit 14.
Die Sendeeinheit 14 sendet das von der jeweiligen Auswertungseinheit 1 2, 1 3 erhaltene Signal an einen Empfänger, z.B. eine Überwachungsstation, der dann zuvor festgelegte Schritte, z.B. Alarmierung entsprechender Stellen, einleitet. The transmitting unit 14 sends the signal obtained from the respective evaluation unit 1 2, 1 3 to a receiver, e.g. a monitoring station which then takes predetermined steps, e.g. Alerting appropriate places, initiates.
Fig. 3 zeigt ein schematisches Blockschaltbild einer Variante des Ausführungsbeispiels nach Fig. 2. FIG. 3 shows a schematic block diagram of a variant of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2.
Im Unterschied zu der Ausführung nach Fig. 2 ist in dieser Variante eine zusätzliche Auswertungseinheit 1 5 vorgesehen, welche parallel zu der schon vorhandenen Auswertungseinheit 13 zwischen der ersten Sensoreinheit 3 und der Sendeeinheit 14 angeschlossen ist. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 2, in this variant an additional evaluation unit 15 is provided, which is connected in parallel to the already existing evaluation unit 13 between the first sensor unit 3 and the transmitting unit 14.
Die zusätzliche Auswertungseinheit 1 5 wertet das Ausgangssignal des ersten Sensors 4 derart zusätzlich aus, dass sie Unregelmäßigkeiten bzw. Artefakte in der Amplitude, die dem üblicherweise ausgegebenen Gleichspannungssignal überlagert sind. Diese Artefakte können von einer Gewalteinwirkung stammen. Auf diese Weise kann die zusätzliche Auswertungseinheit 1 5 auch Vibrationen erfassen und auswerten. Diese können zur Plausibilisierung der von der zweiten Sensoreinheit 7 erfassten Signale herangezogen werden. The additional evaluation unit 15 additionally evaluates the output signal of the first sensor 4 such that it has irregularities or artefacts in the amplitude which are superimposed on the usually output DC voltage signal. These artifacts can come from a violence. In this way, the additional evaluation unit 1 5 can also detect and evaluate vibrations. These can be used to check the plausibility of the signals detected by the second sensor unit 7.
Wenn z.B. in einem gekippten Zustand des Fensters, der durch die ersten Sen- soreinheit 3 erfasst ist, eine Gewaltanwendung erfolgt, wird diese durch die zweite Sensoreinheit 7 erfasst. Somit ist eine Erfassung mehrerer Zustände des Fensters oder der Tür gleichzeitig möglich. If e.g. In a tilted state of the window, which is detected by the first sensor unit 3, a force application takes place, this is detected by the second sensor unit 7. Thus, detection of multiple states of the window or the door is possible simultaneously.
Die Anpassungseinheit 1 1 und die Auswertungseinheiten 1 2, 13, 1 5 können auch zumindest teilweise durch ein Programm eines Mikroprozessors bzw. Mikrocomputers der Steuervorrichtung 1 0 realisiert sein. The adaptation unit 1 1 and the evaluation units 1 2, 13, 1 5 can also be realized at least partially by a program of a microprocessor or microcomputer of the control device 10.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt, sondern kann im Rahmen der Ansprüche modifiziert werden. Es kann möglich sein, dass eine bevorzugte Ausrichtung des zweiten Sensors 8 in einer bestimmten Richtung aufgrund eines Aufbaus des Sensorbauelementes bedingt ist. Für eine Erfassung aller Richtungen können beispielsweise mehrere Sensorbauelemente der zweiten Sensoreinheit 7 zugeordnet sein, von denen z.B. jeweils eines in x-Richtung, eines in y-Richtung und eines in z-Richtung mit der jeweiligen empfindlichste Wirkrichtung angeordnet ist. The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be modified within the scope of the claims. It may be possible that a preferred orientation of the second sensor 8 in a particular direction is due to a structure of the sensor device. For detecting all directions, for example, a plurality of sensor components of the second sensor unit 7 may be assigned, of which, for example, one is arranged in the x-direction, one in the y-direction and one in the z-direction with the respective most sensitive effective direction.
So ist es z.B. denkbar, dass die Auswertungseinheit 13 und die zusätzliche Aus- wertungseinheit 15 zusammengefasst sind. So it is e.g. conceivable that the evaluation unit 13 and the additional evaluation unit 15 are combined.
Es ist auch möglich, dass eines zusätzliche gemeinsame Auswertung der Festlegungen der Auswertungseinheiten 12, 13 und 14 durch eine weitere, übergeordnete Auswerteschaltung erfolgen kann. It is also possible that an additional common evaluation of the definitions of the evaluation units 12, 13 and 14 can be carried out by a further, higher-level evaluation circuit.
