Description

DESCRIPTION

"Anti-theft system, for internal and external use, using WIRELESS and GSM technologies for applications in systems, machinery and / or electrical, electronic, home automation, thermal and hydraulic components with high / or technological value / economical content - respectively - in the residential sector, commercial, public and industrial.

SUMMARY

The anti-theft and / or damage prevention system, for which the utility model patent application was requested, was designed to reduce the enormous economic damage caused to plants. machinery and / or electrical, electronic, home automation, thermal and hydraulic components with high / or value / economic / technological content or to specific component parts of the systems themselves and, in general, to all those objects and / or instruments of high intrinsic value / content economic / technological that are intended to protect against intentionally malicious actions and / or events (thefts) carried out by unrelated personnel (thieves).

The anti-theft and / or damage prevention system, described below, uses wireless and gsm technologies for communication and data exchange (wirelessly) between the various electronic devices of which it is composed, the system itself, as a whole. .

This type of anti-theft system finds applications in indoor and outdoor environments respectively in the residential, commercial, public and industrial sectors.

DESCRIPTION

The system for which the Utility Model patent application was requested is highly technological and highly innovative as it deals with the generation of a new noteworthy alarm, anti-theft and / or damage prevention system.

The aim of the project is to create a special alarm, surveillance and protection system that is perfectly invisible (hidden) and difficult to deactivate which, in the event of tampering, damage or robbery, immediately alerts the user who is suffering the theft of systems. machinery and / or components or, in any case, high value objects in:

residential homes such as: paintings, safes, jewels, systems or parts thereof;

work environments (offices, shops, museums, art galleries, public buildings, schools, buildings and / or commercial and industrial complexes) such as: artistic works, professional electrical or electronic equipment and / or instrumentation and, in general, each object / component and instrument of particular and high intrinsic value that is intended to be protected and monitored;

plants / machinery / tools and devices placed in all those external environments such as: highways, urban and extra-urban roads, municipal squares, stations and car parks for which an alarm, surveillance and protection system is required (through the remote control technology weighing - in the budget item of public and private administrations - with a lower cost than the surveillance done by human personnel); as an example, some of the many components that would require specific surveillance are shown (given the exponential increase in vandalism towards all those types of plants / machinery / and / or components, in public or private domain, poorly supervised) such as : municipal digital outdoor displays, guard rails, small photovoltaic and / or wind power plants used for the generation of electricity for the operation of digital road communication devices and / or for the visual signaling of construction sites, road and building, mobile and temporary, thermal solar panels and photovoltaic solar modules for applications in small-medium and large systems, traffic lights, high-quality electrical / electronic elements / components for the management of "monitoring and control" of public lighting systems and any other element and / or poorly supervised public and / or private device that can be easily removed by unrelated personnel or and / or unauthorized (thieves) who do nothing but cause considerable damage to the community.

The solutions currently available on the market, for the prevention of damage (or for its reduction and / or reimbursement) and theft include:

anti-theft systems, simple or complex, thread-like or wireless, easy or complicated to install and often easily deactivated / tampered with by thieves.

Obviously, the characteristics of the various types of alarms currently on the market vary according to their quality and efficiency.

specific insurance packages, commonly referred to as "Ali Risk", signed by the various insurance companies, which provide for forms of compensation for damage only after the fact, ie "actions for damages" following the malicious event.

The anti-theft and / or damage prevention system, which is the subject of this application, has the purpose of immediately alerting at the time of the violation and / or ra'pina by promptly communicating the event through interfacing with various communication technologies. (to which the system can be interfaced and set up) such as:

fixed network telephone dialers

self-powered sirens, for indoor and outdoor use

video surveillance systems

telephone and SMS communications to cellular numbers specially programmed in memory (one of which may be that of a surveillance company with which a contract is stipulated, or directly the command of the police and / or local carabinieri)

and any other type of device that can be interfaced with the most modern anti-theft systems currently available on the market.

The anti-theft and damage prevention system is a simple, reliable system, applicable on a large scale to various types of plants, machinery or components, and essentially composed of the following two elements (fig. 1): <1.> Unit Central

2. Local Units (unlimited, depending on the applications)

Central unity

It is the unit that supervises, supervises and controls, instant by instant, the state of activity (alarm condition: on / off) of the innumerable components (local units) of which the system can be composed, as a whole (self-defense function and self-control).

The central unit communicates constantly and simultaneously with all the local units connected to it, continuously questioning them on the level of vibrations received from the external environment, in the unit of time.

In the event of break-in, even to a single local unit (an event that occurs following attempts to tear, remove, tamper with and / or damage the component inside which the local unit is inserted and, therefore, following the exceeding the minimum threshold of allowed vibrations), the central unit receives the coded alarm signal from this peripheral, decodes it and activates a whole series of computations that can be easily interfaced with gsm modules,

self-powered sirens for internal and external use, fixed-line telephone dialers, video surveillance systems and, in general, activates all those anti-theft and communication devices for malicious events that allow immediate intervention by the user or local authorities, as well as - of course - the escape of thieves.

It consists of an electronic board powered by electric current from LV or MV sockets or by connection (system preparation) to a small off-grid solar photovoltaic or mini-wind system for the independent generation of electricity.

This particular specification therefore allows the anti-theft system to work even in the event of tampering with the electricity network by thieves (independent energy operation).

Local unit

It is a self-powered electronic board (via buffer battery), of minimal size, easily integrated into:

elements and / or components of plants / machinery (civil and industrial applications);

junction boxes (such as those of photovoltaic solar panels) or in any case in electrical boxes (for internal or external use) of high value plants / tools / machinery;

and / or, in any case, in internal housings of objects, which are intended to be monitored, in order to make the alarm system completely invisible (no wires) and can be deactivated in the eyes of thieves.

In the case of specific application to the panels of photovoltaic solar systems (of any nominal power rating) the local unit does not need any cable connection for the power supply of the device itself since it is powered directly with the electricity produced in direct current from the modules offering, at the same time, a high reduction in installation costs due to the absence of wire-like electrical connections (for power supply and operation of the local alarm device) and for data communication between the local unit and the central one (wireless and gsm technologies).

In case of absence of sun or in case of plant shutdown (for maintenance or other cause) the local unit is self-powered through the energy of a special buffer battery present in the local device itself which, during sunny days, recharges itself .

Each individual local unit is equipped with a protection system which, through the use of highly sensitive adjustable motion sensors (sensitivity level), sends a coded radio signal to the central unit for the communication of the alarm signal.
