Definitions
- the invention relates to an anti-theft device for securing a bicycle, in particular a bicycle of a bicycle rental system.
- Station-independent processes also referred to as free float
- station-based processes and mixed processes for issuing and returning and for securing rental bicycles are known from the prior art.
- frame locks are used to lock the bicycles and thus protect them against theft.
- Station-based processes generally use special bike racks to which the bicycles are connected so that they can neither be moved nor carried away.
- Frame locks are disadvantageous in that they lock the bicycles but do not connect them.
- the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement which enables theft-proof storage of bicycles, excludes unauthorized use, is easy to use and is not susceptible to faults, can be integrated into a bicycle rental system and can be provided inexpensively.
- the anti-theft device has a bicycle and a stationary bicycle stand as basic components.
- the bicycle has a control unit, a bicycle-side interface section and a bicycle-side coupling section.
- control unit contains an authentication module which is designed to authenticate a user and to generate a coupling state control command.
- the authentication module has the functions of recognizing an authorized user and distinguishing it from an unauthorized user.
- the structural design of the authentication module can vary depending on the authentication method.
- the method is preferably designed such that the user stores data at a central point which authorize him to use the bicycle.
- the central point is preferably a server, which he can be reached via the Internet and telephone.
- the central office then issues a code which the user transmits to the authentication module of the control unit.
- This can be, for example, a simple number code or letter code or some other character string which the user enters directly on the bicycle, for example into a keyboard or a touchscreen, which is connected to the authentication module. After entering the authentication module communicates with the central office and checks the validity of the code. If the code is valid, authentication is successful.
- the code can also be output electronically on a data carrier, which then transmits this code electronically to the authentication module.
- Such a data carrier can be, for example, an RFID, an electronic key, a data stick or a smartphone.
- the authentication module preferably communicates with the central location in order to compare the data assigned to the code. The data comparison can also take place directly with the information stored on the aid.
- data can be exchanged using the display, for example via bar or QR codes or via a direct data connection such as Bluetooth, NFC or the like.
- the authentication module has a corresponding scanner (for example camera or laser scanner) or a suitable data interface that can read or receive the data.
- the authentication module can preferably access the hardware, for example camera, fingerprint scanner, internal serial numbers, of the user's smartphone through a corresponding program, for example a downloadable app, and use this for additional identification of the user.
- the hardware for example camera, fingerprint scanner, internal serial numbers, of the user's smartphone
- a corresponding program for example a downloadable app
- a scanner is assigned to the authentication module, which scanner can identify the user, for example, using biometric data.
- biometric data For example, a camera on the bicycle can recognize the face, eyes, or a fingerprint scanner can recognize a fingerprint. If the biometric data are successfully compared, the user is considered authenticated in this version.
- the coupling state control command is an instruction to either couple or decouple.
- a coupling state can exist as a coupling state or as a decoupling state.
- An instruction for a coupling hereinafter also referred to as a coupling command, is aimed at establishing a coupling state.
- An instruction for decoupling hereinafter also referred to as a decoupling command, is aimed at bringing about a decoupling state.
- a coupling state control command can therefore be present as a coupling command or as a decoupling command.
- the bicycle-side interface section is connected to the control unit. It is designed to transmit a coupling state control command.
- the bicycle-side interface section is preferably connected to the control unit via a physical data conductor and receives the coupling state control command from the control unit after authentication.
- the bicycle-side interface section forwards the coupling state control command via a data connection to the stator-side interface section.
- This data connection can be established via a physical contact or via a wireless transmission.
- the stationary bicycle stand has, according to the invention, a stand-side interface section, an evaluation unit and a stand-side coupling section.
- stator-side interface section is designed to receive a coupling state control command from the bicycle-side interface section.
- stator-side interface section is designed as a corresponding counterpart to the bicycle-side interface section.
- the bicycle-side interface section and the stator-side interface section are also referred to collectively as the interface.
- a data connection is automatically created. This is done by electronic, mechanical or magnetic means.
- the interface can be formed via electrical contact contacts. If the bike is placed in the stationary bike stand and positioned in a desired position by guide elements, a physical contact between the contact contacts of the two interface sections is established. For example, by hanging or placing the bicycle on a rail, its weight can be used to determine its position on the one hand by means of guide elements and on the other hand to establish the physical contact between the contact contacts of the two interface sections by means of a fleece arrangement.
- the interface can preferably also be designed such that wireless transmission takes place.
- This can be designed as a simple inductive transmission or, for example, as an NFC connection.
- stator-side coupling section is designed to be mechanically coupled to the bicycle-side coupling section.
- the stator-side coupling section and the bicycle-side coupling section are also referred to collectively as the coupling unit.
- the evaluation unit is connected to the stator-side interface section and is designed to generate an actuation command from the coupling state control command.
- stator-side interface section forwards the coupling state control command to the evaluation unit, which correspondingly generates an actuation command to set or disconnect the coupling.
- the evaluation unit is an electrical or electronic circuit.
- the coupling section on the stator side is designed to form-fit coupling the coupling section on the bicycle side.
- the stator-side coupling section has mechanically stable shaped sections such as depressions, guides or bores which can at least partially accommodate the coupling section on the bicycle side.
- a design is possible in which, conversely, the coupling section on the stator side is received in the coupling section on the bicycle side, and thus a positive coupling of the two coupling sections is produced.
- the stator-side coupling section has an actuator and a locking element.
- the actuator is connected to the evaluation unit and is designed to receive the actuation command and to mechanically actuate the locking element.
- the actuator is preferably driven and switched electrically.
- the actuator is designed, for example, as an electric motor with a spindle drive and, after receiving the actuation command, actuates the locking element in that the actuator moves it into a locking position. In the locked position, it blocks the movement space on the bicycle-side coupling section, so that it is positively attached to the stator-side coupling section.
- the bike is now connected to the bike stand.
- the actuator is designed as an electric motor, which moves a locking element designed as a toothed rack via a pinion.
- Another possible design consists of an electromagnet which moves a bolt-like locking element between two positions, a locking position and an unlocking position.
- the locking element is preferably designed as a bolt which is pushed into the coupling section on the bicycle side in a coupling state.
- the bolt can be straight or curved.
- a straight design is particularly advantageous for short lengths because it is inexpensive and can be provided in large quantities.
- a curved shape is advantageous when space is limited and the length of the bolt is long.
- a coupling state can be produced with the locking element to the coupling section on the bicycle side and can be canceled to a decoupling state.
- the coupling state there is a positive connection between the coupling section on the bicycle side and on the stand, so that the bicycle cannot be removed from the bicycle stand. If the locking element is brought into an unlocked position, the positive locking and thus the coupling status is canceled. There is now the uncoupling state in which the bicycle can be removed from the bicycle stand by the user.
- the anti-theft device according to the invention has particular advantages described below.
- the bike is the master and the bike stand the slave. It is the bike side that determines the decision to connect or release. This decision is then actively carried out by the bike rack.
- the anti-theft device according to the invention can be integrated into a centrally controlled bicycle rental system.
- the bicycle has an electrical energy source which supplies the actuator with the energy for its operation via a bicycle-side and a stator-side contact point.
- the electrical energy source is preferably formed out as an accumulator on the bicycle. This can also be an accumulator that is already present in an e-bike.
- the accumulator can be charged by an external power supply or while driving, for example via a hub dynamo.
- the electrical energy source is also connected to the bicycle-side contact point via a cable.
- the cable is designed to transmit an electrical current from the electrical energy source to the bicycle-side contact point.
- the contact point on the stator side is connected to the actuator.
- the stator-side contact point is also electrically connected to the actuator by means of a cable.
- the bicycle-side contact point and the stator-side contact point are collectively referred to as the contact points.
- the contact points are designed when the bicycle-side coupling section is positioned on the stator-side coupling section transfer.
- the stator-side contact point forms the corresponding counterpart to the bicycle-side contact point.
- a direct contact can be provided in a manner similar to the connection of the two interface sections by touch contacts, the secure contacting being able to be supported by a mechanical lever arrangement which presses conductive regions of the touch contacts against one another by a simple mechanism.
- the contact points can also be designed for contactless, for example inductive or capacitive, transmission.
- the anti-theft device is characterized in that the bicycle has an electric motor drive and a rechargeable energy source which supplies the electric motor drive with electrical energy.
- the rechargeable energy source is in particular an accumulator.
- the bicycle according to this development can also be characterized as a pedelec or e-bike, all variants of the electric motor drive being included.
- the electromotive drive can be cumulative or alternative to the drive by muscle power.
- the bicycle-side contact point is connected to the rechargeable electrical energy source of the bicycle. Furthermore, the stand-side contact point is connected to a power supply for the bicycle stand.
- the power supply of the bicycle stand can in particular be designed as a mains connection with a transformer or a circuit which provides a suitable voltage and a suitable current for recharging the rechargeable energy source.
- the power supply of the bike stand can also be formed by devices for regenerative energies, in particular by a photovoltaic system.
- the contact points are designed in such a way that electrical energy is transmitted via them when the coupling section on the bicycle side is positioned on the coupling section on the pomerseiti side.
- stationary bicycle stand also serves as a charging station.
- a particular advantage here is that a stationary bike stand, which is provided in any case in a professional bike rental system, can also be used for recharging. In addition, the time in which the bike is parked is used for recharging.
- the components that are already available for theft protection can advantageously be used in a simple manner to open access to the bicycle stand in its capacity as a charging station exclusively for bicycles of a specific bicycle rental system and to prevent unauthorized use.
- This can already be achieved in that other bicycles cannot be adjusted and electrically contacted by the corresponding coupling sections and the corresponding contact points of the bicycle and bicycle stand.
- an electronic circuit is also provided in the bicycle stand, which communicates with the control unit via the interface and releases the electrical energy from the power source exclusively to the stand-side contact point when the bicycle is recognized as a bicycle of the bicycle rental system in question.
- the anti-theft arrangement has a data connection between the bicycle rack and the bicycle and is designed to transmit bicycle rack data to the control unit.
- Bicycle stand data can in particular be a bicycle stand identity code, data relating to the location of the bicycle stand, data on the coupling status, data on the operability or data on the frequency of use of the bicycle stand.
- the interfaces are additionally designed after the establishment of a connection to enable data to be transmitted from the stator-side interface section to the bicycle-side interface section and to the control unit.
- bike rack data can be transferred from the bike rack to the control unit and through this to the central location.
- the stationary bike stand advantageously does not have to be designed to be able to communicate even with the central location.
- the stationary bicycle stand has a coupling state sensor.
- the coupling state sensor determines whether there is a coupling state or an uncoupling state.
- the coupling state sensor provides the determined coupling state of the coupling sections in a transferable manner.
- the evaluation unit transmits the coupling status to the evaluation unit. This advantageously facilitates error-free actuation of the locking element of the stator-side coupling section.
- the evaluation unit can thus recognize whether an actuation command generated on the basis of a coupling state control command has been correctly executed by the actuator and whether the locking element is in the correct position.
- the coupling state is preferably additionally or exclusively transmitted to the control unit.
- the transmission can preferably take place via the data interface. However, other transmissions are also possible.
- the control unit can then remotely transmit the coupling status to the central point, for example to a server.
- the coupling state can be transmitted to the central location.
- the coupling status information can preferably also be connected to a bicycle stand identity code of the stationary bicycle stand.
- the central office can use this data to calculate the occupancy and frequency of different locations.
- the location of a bicycle can be verified because the location of the stationary bicycle stand in question is stored at the central location.
- a database can be provided for an optimization of the locations.
- the bicycle has a frame lock which is connected to the control unit.
- An additional frame lock advantageously allows temporary, secure locking of the bicycle. It can also be secured in places where there are no stationary bike racks that can be coupled.
- the frame lock is designed to receive the coupling state control command and to establish a locking state and to release it to an unlocking state.
- a locked state of the frame lock can exist as a locked state or as an unlocked state.
- a coupling state control command which is in the form of a coupling command, is aimed at bringing about a locking state. If the coupling state command is present as a decoupling command, it is aimed at bringing about a decoupling state.
- the frame lock can lock and unlock the bike if the user does not use it for a short time, for example. In the locked state, at least one wheel or other functionally relevant component blocks and thus prevents use.
- control unit which is present anyway, can be used with the authentication module in order to control the locked state of the frame lock.
- the control unit and the authentication module can also be designed such that a coupling state control command is automatically generated when the authorized user moves away or when he approaches again, so that a locking state or unlocking state of the frame lock can be brought about.
- the authentication module of the control unit can in particular be designed in such a way that it recognizes the removal of an aid such as a smartphone or a code card.
- Another advantage is that the frame lock prevents use by an unauthenticated user even if the stationary bike stand malfunctions.
- FIG. 2 Detailed view of a bicycle with a stationary bike stand
- FIG. 3 Detailed view of a bicycle with a stationary bike stand explained in more imple mentation form.
- 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of the theft protection arrangement schematically in a side view.
- the bicycle 1 of the theft protection arrangement has a control unit 3 with an authentication module 6, a bicycle-side interface section 4, a bicycle-side coupling section 5, an electrical energy source 12 and a frame lock 16. All of the components mentioned are connected to one another via the control unit 3.
- the bicycle-side interface section 4 and the bicycle-side coupling section 5 are arranged on the front fork of the bicycle 1.
- the stationary bicycle stand 2 has a coupling section 7 on the stator side, an interface section 8 on the stator side and an evaluation unit 9.
- the evaluation unit 9 is installed in the body of the stationary bicycle stand 2.
- the stationary bicycle stand 2 is designed in such a way that the coupling sections 5, 7 and interface sections 4, 8 are positioned relative to one another when the bicycle 1 is set in the stationary bicycle stand 2.
- FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of the bicycle 1 and the stationary bicycle stand 2 in an exemplary embodiment.
- the stationary bicycle stand 2 has the coupling section 7 on the stand, which has the actuator 10, the locking element 11 (shown in dotted lines) and the evaluation unit 9.
- the coupling state sensor 15, the stator-side interface section 8 and the stator-side contact point 14 are combined with the stator-side coupling section 7 to form an assembly.
- the coupling state sensor 15 can determine the coupling state on the basis of the position of the locking element 11. It is connected to the evaluation unit 9.
- the bicycle 1 has on its front wheel fork the bike-side interface section 4, the bike-side contact point 13 and the bike-side coupling section 5.
- the coupling section on the stator side has a T-shaped section.
- the bicycle-side contact point 13 is connected to the electrical energy source 12 and the bicycle-side interface section 4 is connected to the control unit 3.
- the control unit 3 contains the authentication module 6.
- the electrical energy source 12 supplies an alternating voltage to the contact point 13 on the bicycle side.
- the inductive coupling between the contact point 14 on the bicycle side and the contact point 14 on the stator side transfers the electrical energy to the stationary bicycle stand 2.
- the bicycle 1 is shown in the stationary bicycle stand 2 in the locking state.
- the stator-side coupling section 7 has a T-shaped section.
- the extent of the T-slot section is arranged essentially horizontally and has a limitation.
- the bicycle-side coupling section 5 has a corresponding to the mushroom-shaped body, so that the bicycle can be moved forward into the stationary bicycle stand 2, wherein the mushroom-shaped body can be inserted into the T-groove section up to the limit.
- the mushroom-shaped molded body Due to the flinter cuts of the T-slot, the mushroom-shaped molded body is secured against lateral pulling out.
- the actuator 10 extends the locking element 11, which in the exemplary embodiment is designed as a movable bolt.
- the locking element will extended in the retraction direction behind the mushroom-shaped molding so that the mushroom-shaped molding is now enclosed and can no longer be guided out of the T-groove in the opposite direction to the retraction direction.
- the coupling section 7 on the stand side and the coupling section 5 on the bicycle side are positively connected to one another, so that the bicycle 1 is reliably connected to the stationary bicycle stand 2 and is thus protected against theft.
- the actuator 10 has an electromechanical drive.
- the electrical energy is provided by the electrical energy source 12 arranged in the bicycle 1, which is a rechargeable battery.
- the actuator 10 is connected to the electrical energy source 12 via the contact points 13, 14.
- the control unit 3 If an authorized user authenticates himself via the authentication module 6, the control unit 3 generates a decoupling command which is transmitted to the evaluation unit 9. The evaluation unit 9 then generates an actuation command to the actuator 10, which retracts the locking element 10 electromechanically. This clears the way for the mushroom-shaped shaped body against the direction of entry and the bicycle can be moved out of the bicycle stand 2 backwards. At the same time, the frame lock (not shown in FIG. 2) is set into the unlocked state by the decoupling command. The bicycle 1 is now neither connected nor locked and is available to the authorized user.
- FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of the bicycle 1 and the stationary bicycle stand 2 in a further embodiment.
- the stationary bicycle stand 2 is designed with a two-part coupling section 7 on the stand.
- the stator-side coupling section 7 includes the actuator 10, the locking element 11 and the evaluation unit 9.
- the coupling state sensor 15, the stator-side interface section 8 and the stator-side contact point 14 are integrated in the body of the stator-side coupling section 7 in this embodiment.
- the coupling state sensor 15 is connected to the evaluation unit 9 and determines the coupling state.
- the bicycle-side interface section 4, the bicycle-side contact point 13 and the bicycle-side coupling section 5 are arranged on the front wheel fork of the bicycle 1.
- the bicycle-side contact point 13 is connected to the electrical energy source 12 and the bicycle-side interface section 4 to the control unit 3.
- the control unit 3 contains the authentication module 6.
- the electrical energy source 12 supplies a DC voltage to the bicycle-side contact point 13.
- the electrical energy is transmitted to the stationary bicycle stand 2.
- the locking element 11 is formed as a horizontally movable bolt and retractable by means of the actuator 10 by the integrating into the frame of the bicycle th bicycle-side coupling section 5 and the wheel in the second part of the stator-side coupling section 7.
- the coupling section 5 on the bicycle is designed in two parts, each as a hole in the front fork struts of the bicycle 1. There is a coupling state in which the coupling sections 5, 7 are in a positive fit. The bicycle 1 is thus secured against theft.
