Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a burglar give up theft in the middle of the theft of money, which is practically impossible in a conventional burglar prevention device. SOLUTION: This burglar prevention device is arranged in an outdoor installing type automatic fare adjusting machine in which money is housed, such as a money changer in an unmanned parking lot, and the opening and closing of the door of the automatic fare adjusting machine can be always detected by a door opening and closing sensor 15, and the locked state of the door can be detected by a locking sensor 16, and the heat of a burner flame can be detected by a temperature sensor 14 under the control of a controlling party 13. For example, when the 'opening' of the door is detected by the door opening and closing sensor 15 while the unlocked state of the door is not detected by the locking sensor 16, it is judged that the door is illegally wrenched open without using a key by the controlling part 13. In the same way, when a temperature beyond a threshold is detected by the temperature sensor 14, it is judged that the door is fused by a burner by the controlling part 13. Any of a smoking means 18 to a high voltage generating means 21 is operated for the illegal opening of the door so that it is impossible or extremely difficult for the burglar to execute the theft.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a security device provided in an outdoor device, and more particularly to a security device suitable for an automatic clearing device installed in a parking lot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an effective use of vacant lots, a number of hourly rental parking lots are installed and used mainly in urban areas.
In many parking lots, the payment of the parking fee by cash is performed by an automatic device to save labor. Specifically, in the case of a lock type parking device, the lock is released by inputting a fee corresponding to the parking time,
The vehicle can exit. In a parking lot having a gate device, a predetermined fee is charged when a vehicle exits, so that the gate is opened and the vehicle can exit.

[0003] In such an unmanned parking lot with time rental, a device having a change issuing function for the convenience of the user, a change machine for changing bills into coins for use in coin type parking devices, and the like are installed. Have been. Hereinafter, the device including the change issuing function and the money changer will be referred to as an "automatic clearing machine".

[0004]

Since the automatic clearing machine always stores a considerable amount of money in its function,
Conventionally, criminal acts aimed at seizing this money have occurred. In order to combat such criminal acts, the case of the automatic clearing machine is formed firmly, various sensors are attached to the device main body and the vicinity of the device to detect abnormalities, or patrol the parking lot. Measures such as increasing the density are taken, but the effect is limited.

[0005] As described above, crime prevention systems have many problems. However, for those who commit crimes, the installation of such a crime prevention system requires the crimes to be committed more quickly. The tactics of action tend to be even more harsh. For example, by using a large bar to pry open the housing or burn out the hinges and locks with a burner, there is a situation where the automatic clearing machine is destroyed in a very short time and money is stolen. It is difficult or virtually impossible to respond to this type of crime.

Here, the security system can be roughly divided into the following three types. (1) Prevention type The intruder is caught by various sensors (infrared sensor etc.) and the intruder is threatened by voice or light by the installed alarm. (2) Crime detection type The state of actual crimes being committed is recorded by a surveillance camera, etc., and used as auxiliary data for criminal arrest. The criminal is also expected to have the effect of discouraging the offender because of this type of recording device. (3) Crime response type When a crime is actually being committed, take measures to stop the crime. Apply high voltage to a criminal by a stun gun, etc.

[0007] Considering the crimes against the outdoor-installed automatic clearing machine for each of the above security systems, first, in the case of the (1) proactive security type, a person who enters a predetermined space commits a crime. It is impossible to identify whether the driver is a general person such as a driver of a parked vehicle or the like.

The crime detection type (2) can be expected to have a certain effect on deterrence of crimes in view of the danger of arrest at a later date, but the offender cannot be identified by disguise or wearing a helmet that covers the entire head. Such a deterrent cannot be expected, and crime cannot be prevented.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it has been found that it is extremely difficult to prevent crimes in advance in a crime against an outdoor-type automatic clearing machine. , And is characterized in that it is a criminal response type device provided with a means that the crime cannot be completed even if the crime is started.

That is, the present invention is an apparatus having at least a smoke generating means among a smoke generating means, a high voltage generating means, an alarm sound (alarm sound) generating means and a light emitting means. The automatic clearing machine is equipped with a means for detecting the opening of the housing, a temperature sensor, and the like. If there is a criminal offense, such as opening the housing for taking money or fusing (burning) with a burner, smoke is generated. , A high voltage is applied, and the execution of the crime is physically prevented.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An externally installed automatic clearing machine is provided with a means for detecting prying, a means for detecting abnormal temperature rise due to the use of a wrench, and the like. As means operated by such an abnormality detecting means, in addition to means for actively preventing crime such as smoke generating means and high voltage generating means, auxiliary means for notifying of crime such as emission of an alarm sound and light emission are provided. Can be. In addition to the smoke emitting means, such as a smoke canister, which operates in response to a signal from the abnormality detecting means, a layer made of a smoke emitting material is formed on the entire housing of the automatic clearing machine, and when the fuse is blown off by a parner or the like, this heat is generated. It is also possible to make it emit smoke from the smoke emitting material layer.

The operation of the smoke generating means will be mainly described by way of example. When a criminal attempts to pry open the housing of the automatic clearing machine or to cut the fuse, the sensor detects this and activates the smoke generating means. This produces a violent fume. The criminal is surprised by the smoke, and the violent smoke causes the visibility to drop significantly, making it difficult to perform the crime. In addition, the smoke naturally informs the neighborhood of the parking lot and the pedestrians of the occurrence of the abnormality, which also makes it difficult to carry out the crime.

Further, for example, the smoke is accompanied by an irritating odor, has tearing properties, generates a popping sound at the time of smoking, etc., so as to act to further abandon the criminal to perform the crime. It is also possible. In addition to smoke and high voltage generation, if an alarm is generated and light emission is additionally generated to notify the outside of the abnormality by more means, this also prevents the offense from being committed. Occurs.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an automatic clearing machine to which the present apparatus is installed. The configuration itself of the automatic clearing machine 1 is not different from the conventional apparatus, and a display unit 2 for displaying the amount of money inserted, change, etc., a bill insertion slot 3, a coin outlet 4, a setting button, etc. 5 and the like are provided.

In the automatic clearing machine 1, the above-mentioned components are formed in a front door 1B which opens and closes with respect to the main body 1A of the automatic clearing machine 1. By opening and closing the front door 1B, money can be collected and internal equipment can be used. Maintenance inspection. The housing composed of the main body 1A and the front door 1B is made of stainless steel, steel, or the like in order to combat the crime described above, and the main body 1B is made of concrete or the like by strong fixing means such as anchor bolts (not shown). Is firmly installed on the installation surface G. Normally, the front door 1B is locked by the locking unit 8.

In the automatic clearing machine 1 having such a configuration,
Recently, a portion centered on the locking portion 8 or the front door 1B
Of the vertical side edges 1Ba, 1Bb, which are formed on the side edge 1Bb side facing the formation portion of the locking portion 8, is blown by a burner to open the front door 1B. Money is stolen by a method of forcibly opening the front door 1B by inserting a crowbar or the like between the front door 1B and the main body 1A.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The security device shown in FIG. 2 is installed in the automatic clearing machine 1 having the above configuration. First, an AC power supply 10 is supplied to the security device, and the operation of various sensors is guaranteed. However, a battery is previously mounted on the security device, and the AC power supply is
Even in such a case, the power can be supplied to various devices without interruption by switching to the battery power supply 11.

In addition to a power outage or the like, when a crime is committed for the purpose of stealing money, the criminal may turn off the power and work in advance so that sensors and alarm devices do not operate.
Even in such a case, it is extremely effective to have a configuration that can be switched to the battery power supply 11 in order to guarantee the operation of various devices. Reference numeral 12 in the figure denotes this power supply switching unit.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a control unit which processes signals from various sensors and issues operation signals to various devices. Reference numeral 14 denotes a temperature sensor, for example, disposed at a plurality of locations on the back surface of the front door 1B of the automatic clearing machine 1 shown in FIG. This temperature sensor is for detecting the temperature when a burner is used to open the front door 1B. For this reason, the detection temperature at which the control unit 13 determines that an abnormality has occurred is set to a threshold value of 70 ° C. or higher. By the way, if the automatic clearing machine 1 is exposed to direct sunlight, the temperature in the apparatus becomes considerably higher than that of the outside air, so if the threshold value is set too low, malfunctions increase. By the way, even if the threshold value is set relatively high as described above, the temperature of the front door rapidly rises due to the use of the burner, so that the temperature sensor can detect abnormality in a very short time after the use of the burner. . As described above, the use of the burner is concentrated in the vicinity of the locking portion 8 or the hinge portion. Therefore, it is effective to arrange the temperature sensors 14 intensively in this portion.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a door opening / closing sensor which opens and closes the front door 1B, particularly when the door is opened by an unlocking operation, regardless of whether or not it is opened by an illegal prying operation. Is detected. Various configurations such as a proximity switch and a dimmer switch can be considered as this type of sensor. Reference numeral 16 denotes a lock sensor, which detects the rotation state of the key inserted into the lock unit or the operation state of the mechanism of the lock unit, and detects whether the lock state is established or unlocked. .

Reference numeral 17 denotes an alarm operating means,
Is configured to be activated by the activation signal when it is determined that an abnormality has occurred. In the present configuration, the alarming means operated by the alarm operating means 17 includes a smoke generating means 18, an alarm sound generating means 19, a light emitting means 20, a high voltage generating means 21
Is provided. Among these, the smoke generating means 18 and the high voltage generating means 20 are effective means for actively preventing crime, and the alarm sound generating means 19 and the light emitting means 20 warn the surroundings that a crime is being committed. It is a means to indirectly prevent the completion of the crime.

Among these, the smoke generating means 8 is, for example, a smoke tube, and the smoke tube is disposed inside the automatic clearing machine 1 at a position where the smoke outlet faces the outside of the housing. The smoke emitted by the smoke canister may be colored, such as white, outer red, or blue. Further, it may be configured such that a popping sound is generated when the smoke canister is activated, that the smoke has an irritating odor, or that the smoke has a tearing effect.

The high-voltage generating means 21 is configured to supply a high-voltage current to the housing constituting the automatic clearing machine 1 when an abnormality occurs. Specifically, a high voltage (tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of volts) similar to self-defense products called "stun guns"
Is configured to flow instantaneously. In particular, it is effective to provide a structure in which a high-voltage current flows around the front door 1B. By the way, if the front door 1B is to be opened illegally, as a matter of course, the front door is touched. If a high voltage is applied to the criminal at this time, it is effective to prevent the crime.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a state in which the apparatus operates when a criminal attempts to pry open the housing using a crowbar or the like in the security device having the above-described configuration. In this case, the temperature sensor does not operate because there is no rise in the temperature of the housing as in the case of burnout using a burner.

For example, the front door 1B of the automatic clearing machine 1 is opened by collecting money or inspecting the internal equipment, and when the work is completed, the front door 1B is closed (S1), and by closing the front door, an alarm is issued. AC power is turned on (S
2) The door opening / closing sensor 15 is turned on (S3), and thereafter, the “closed” state of the front door 1B is monitored. The alarm AC power supply may be always on regardless of whether the front door 1B is opened or closed.

In this state, the front door 1B is locked (S
4), the locking sensor 16 is turned on by the locking operation (S5), and the locking state is monitored thereafter. In this state, the supply of the alarm AC power is constantly monitored (S6). If the AC power is turned off, the switching unit 12 switches to the battery power in real time (S7). It should be noted that although the theft is not immediately started just by turning off the AC power, a power failure or a failure of any device can be considered. For example, the failure of the device can be determined by a communication means separately proposed by the inventors. It may be configured to automatically contact a parking lot central monitoring room that centrally controls the parking lot.

The control unit 13 monitors the signal of the door opening / closing sensor 15 (S8), and if it detects that the door opening / closing sensor is OFF, that is, the front door 1B is opened,
It is determined whether or not the lock sensor 16 is turned off (S9). In this case, if the lock sensor 16 is not OFF, the fact that the door opening / closing sensor 15 is OFF, that is, the front door 1B is detected as “open” even though the lock sensor 16 detects the lock state, means that the lock is detected. Since it means that the front door 1B in the state is about to be opened illegally, it is determined to be "pry open" (S10), the alarm means is activated (S11), smoke is emitted (S12a), and an alarm sound is transmitted (S1).
2b) Activate means such as light emission (S12c) such as turning on a warning lamp and high voltage load (S12d).

On the other hand, when the lock sensor 16 is turned off, it means that the lock is unlocked by the key, so that the alarm power is turned off (S13) and the front door 1 is turned off.
B is released (S14).

FIG. 4 shows an operation state when the front door 1B is opened by fusing and breaking the locking portion and hinge of the front door 1B of the automatic clearing machine 1 with a gas burner or the like. The operations from closing the front door 1B (S1) to monitoring the supply state of the alarm power (S6) and switching to the battery power (S7) are the same as those described above.

In this state, the temperature sensor 16 constantly monitors the temperature, especially around the locking portion 8 and around the hinge portion (S15). If the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 15 exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the control unit 13 determines that an abnormality such as fusing has occurred and turns on the alarm unit (S1).
1) As in the case described above, means such as smoke (S12a) to high-voltage load (S12d) are operated.

FIG. 5 shows another configuration example of the present invention. This configuration is particularly effective when the front door 1B is to be opened by fusing. In the figure, reference numeral 22 denotes a housing component constituting the housing of the automatic clearing machine 1. The housing component 22 is made of a strong material such as a thick stainless steel or steel material in consideration of crime prevention. A conventional automatic clearing machine uses only the housing component 22 and the housing of the automatic clearing machine 1. Is configured.

Numeral 23 denotes a smoke-emitting material layer formed on the surface of the casing constituting material. When heated to a predetermined temperature by a flame of a burner or the like, it is thermally decomposed and emits a large amount of smoke. I have. Also in this case, it is also possible to use a material that forms the smoke material layer 23 so as to emit smoke with an irritating odor or to emit colored smoke.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a surface material configured to cover the smoke generating material layer 23. This surface material 24 is mainly intended to protect the fuming material layer 23 from wind and rain and sunlight,
It is composed of a relatively thin metal panel or the like. In some cases, a panel made of a nonmetallic material such as a plastic material may be used instead of the metal panel.

In the above configuration, when the thief tries to open the front door 1B using a burner, the surface material 24 is relatively easily melted by the flame F of the burner 25, exposing the smoke generating material layer 23 inside. The smoke material layer 23 emits a large amount of smoke by being thermally decomposed or burned by the flame F.
Thereafter, the effect of smoking is the same as that of the above-described embodiment. In this embodiment, smoke is generated in direct response to high heat such as the burner flame F, and the operation of sensors is not required. For this reason, even if the above-mentioned battery power supply cannot be used, the security effect can be exhibited. In addition, although it is naturally possible to implement this configuration alone, a higher security effect can be expected by using this configuration in combination. In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a temperature sensor used in the embodiment.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to an outdoor-type automatic clearing machine as an example, an outdoor-type apparatus in which stored money can be stolen, for example, various vending machines including soft drinks. It can be easily inferred by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be widely applied.

[0036]

According to the present invention, the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above-described embodiments. In order to steal money by illegally opening an outdoor installation type device such as an automatic checkout machine,
A large amount of smoke, high voltage stimulation, etc. make it very difficult to carry out the crime itself.Even if a burglary act is begun, the act cannot be completed in the end. Security of the rate becomes possible.
