Description

The invention relates to alarm signaling systems with the transmission of radio signals to a central station, determining the location of the point at which the conditions that triggered the occurrence of an alarm occurred. In particular, it relates to technical means of protection and can be used as part of complexes of technical means of protection of extended borders of geographically distributed and remote objects for automated control of the situation in open land areas using modern technical means of protection, automation and communication.

Closest to this decision in technical essence is the stand-alone mobile complex of video and thermal imaging surveillance "Murom" (LLC "Stilsoft") http://www.stilsoft.ru/catalog/murom, adopted as a prototype. The product is intended for round-the-clock video surveillance in the visible and infrared range of perimeters, approaches and ways of movement to important objects that are far from the station parts. The complex contains: a telescopic mast, a video thermal imaging module, a set of autonomous power from solar modules, a battery pack, a radio relay communication system.

The general essential features of the prototype, which coincide with the essential features of the proposed technical solution, are as follows: an autonomous technical monitoring post (APTN) for monitoring the situation in the protected area containing an optoelectronic system located on a support-rotary device, a system for receiving and transmitting data over the air, a system autonomous power supply as a part of solar and storage batteries, telescopic mast with extensions.

The known prototype device, although it is mobile, can be delivered to the installation site only by freight transport; its installation in place takes quite a long time; solar system has a low efficiency in difficult climatic conditions. This APTN has a low resistance to intentional human exposure in order to incapacitate.

Technical problems, the solution of which is provided by the proposed technical solution, are the following - acceleration and simplification of the process of delivery, installation and commissioning of the post at geographically remote facilities.

To solve this technical problem, a mobile autonomous technical monitoring post for monitoring the situation in the protected area, containing an optoelectronic system located on a rotary support device, a radio data reception and transmission system, an autonomous power supply system consisting of solar and rechargeable batteries, a telescopic mast with extensions, unlike the prototype, the post is made of separate modules equipped with portable transport cases - an optoelectronic module, including reading an optical-electronic system located on a slewing ring; module of a system for receiving and transmitting data over a radio channel; mast module designed to fix the optoelectronic module; battery module; charger module; solar module; wherein the battery and charger modules are operable without being removed from the shipping cases, the battery module is configured to mount the mast thereon; the solar module is equipped with a prefabricated support frame with anchor elements.

Additionally, in order to increase resistance to deliberate exposure by a person in order to incapacitate a post, it can be equipped with a module of its own security system, one of the implementation options for which is to implement it in the form of two separate blocks equipped with portable transportation cases, a vibrating unit detection for connecting cable sensitive elements and a block with a spiral pre-fabricated fence containing three spirals located between the end frames whether of the same diameter from a barbed tape reinforced with a wire core, oriented relative to each other in the form of a triangular prism in such a way that the two lower spirals make up the base, and the third upper spiral - the top of the prism, with all the turns of adjacent spirals pairwise interconnected at their points of contact located on one straight line along the length of the spiral; the spiral fence is equipped with a vibration detection means mounted on it, including at least one vibration-sensitive cable; wherein the block of vibration detection means is configured to function without being removed from the transport case.

Also, in addition, to increase the duration of autonomous operation and increase operating efficiency in difficult climatic conditions, the solar panel frame may contain springs for their suspension, the solar panels themselves are equipped with perforated plates for hanging them on springs; the surface of solar panels is coated with photocatalytic and hydrophobic effects.

Due to the presence of these essential features, the following technical results are achieved: due to the implementation of components in the form of separate portable transport modules, the post can be quickly loaded and unloaded, as well as transferred both by the personnel themselves and, for example, by means of pack animals; most modules can function without removal from the cases, which significantly reduces deployment time, and also creates more favorable operating conditions (thermal, moisture, and dust protection); the battery module in the case is the basis for the mast, which makes it more stable, and there is also no need for a special base plate; the supporting frame of the solar module with anchor elements increases the stability of this unit, and also makes it possible to attach other modules to it, linking them into a single structure. In addition, due to its own security module, the security of the autonomous post significantly increases from possible exposure by intruders, and the proposed implementation of solar panels ensures their long-term and energy-efficient operation.

The proposed solution can be used as part of complexes of technical means of protecting extended borders, including the state border, geographically distributed and remote objects for automated control of the situation in open land areas using modern technical means of protection, automation and communication.

If it is necessary to deploy a post in impassable (including mountainous) places, all modules of the post can be delivered to the installation site without using vehicles by a group of several people or horse-drawn or packaged vehicles.

Posts can be used both autonomously and be part of complexes of technical means of protecting extended borders, including the state border, geographically distributed and remote objects.

There are three options for the use of posts, expanding the list of tasks they solve:

1. A non-obstructive option with the absence of an alarm fence between technical monitoring posts. The capabilities of the integrated video analytics are used as a means of detection. The slewing ring component of the optoelectronic module (OEM) is constantly heated at low temperatures. If it is necessary to remotely change the positions of optoelectronic devices, after the operator submits a command, the positions are changed. There is also a functional possibility of switching on the video patrol mode by the optoelectronic devices of the set points (presets).

2. Barrier variant with an alarm barrage between technical monitoring posts forming a conditional line of the guarded line. In this case, the reliability of the border guard is enhanced by the installation of a fence along it with detection tools. Means of detection of the boundary can be installed in the module of the system of own security (ISAF) and alarm information is entered into the system of reception and transmission of information over the air.

The slewing gear included in the OEM is constantly heated at low temperatures. If it is necessary to remotely change the positions of optoelectronic devices, after the operator submits a command, the positions are changed. There is also a functional possibility of switching on the video patrol mode by the optoelectronic devices of the set points (presets).

3. An autonomous version, providing for the use of the post as a separate video surveillance system with the output of information to the operator’s workstation in the form of a laptop or tablet computer and the possibility of working in video patrolling and complexing with signaling weapons. The option can be used for the protection of temporary objects, field camps, temporary parking of mobile objects.

The proposed technical solution is illustrated in FIG. 1-3, which respectively depict a general view of a mobile post with an engineering-technical system of its own security, a general view of its hardware, as well as a transportable portable set of working modules.

Depicted in FIG. 1-3 mobile autonomous technical monitoring post for monitoring the situation in the protected area includes the following elements consists of the following main modules and nodes:

1 - battery module (MAB), delivered and functioning in a shipping case;

2 - mast module (MM), delivered in a shipping case (in this case, a backpack) 9, equipped with spacers and braces (not shown in the figure);

3 - optoelectronic module (OEM), delivered in a shipping case 10;

4 - a module of a system for receiving and transmitting data over a radio channel (MSSR), delivered with OEM in a transportation case 10;

6 is a block of a spiral pre-fabricated fence (BSBZ), delivered in a shipping case (in this case, a frame container) 11;

7 - solar module module (MSB), delivered in a shipping case 12, equipped with a precast frame 13 with anchor elements;

8 - charger module (MZU), delivered and functioning in a shipping case.

The device operates as follows.

All modules included in the post are delivered to the object (using a vehicle, manually or by horse-drawn or pack transport) in separate cases (Fig. 3).

The battery module (MAB) 1 is installed, if possible, in the ground in a dug hole.

A solar module (MSB) 7 is mounted from the transport case 12 - a prefabricated frame 13 is installed on the ground, solar batteries are mounted on it, which are connected to the charger module (MZU) 8.

The mast module (MM) 2 is installed on the cover of the MAB 1. On the mast there are an optical-electronic module (OEM) 3 and a module of a radio data receiving and transmitting system (MSSR) 4. The mast is telescoping manually, spacers and extensions are placed. The type of optical-electronic device (thermal imager or camera) is selected depending on the specifics of the object. The rotation control of the optoelectronic device is carried out manually by the operator or by a signal from the detection means.

The detection means unit (BSO) 5, as a rule, equipped with a solar battery placed on its surface, is mounted on the ground on the base so that the solar battery placed on its surface is oriented south. To strengthen the design of the frame 13 with solar panels can be attached to the housing of the BSO 5 through fasteners (not shown).

The perimeter of the post, including mast extensions, is protected from animal penetration and intentional human exposure by deploying a spiral pre-fabricated signal boom (BSBZ) 6. Cable sensitive elements are connected to a vibration detection device located in BSO 5.

The battery module (MAB) 1 is a sealed, easy-to-transport (including manually) case with a reinforced metal plate cover with structural elements for mounting the mast MM 2. MAB 1 is installed in the ground in order to operate the batteries in more favorable temperature conditions. If it is not possible to install MAB 1 in the ground, the module is installed on the surface.

The mast, which is part of MM 2, is a mechanical, team, manually telescopic and easily transported in backpack 9 by one person. The mast is mounted on the cover of MAB 1 and is reinforced with braces that are attached to manually mounted anchors in the ground.

The OEM-3 optoelectronic module includes a kit consisting of a low-power slewing ring, optical-electronic devices (low-power thermal imager, television camera, lens kit) and a video server. The choice of the required optoelectronic device is carried out depending on the specifics of the object and the application of the post. OEM 3 works with video analytics.

The module of the system for receiving and transmitting data over the radio channel MSPR 4 is designed to receive and transmit data over the radio channel and provides radio relay communication between the posts. MSPR 4 is implemented as a self-organizing radio channel network with a mesh topology. MSPR 4 is installed on MM 2.

The detection tool unit for connecting cable sensitive elements (BSO) 5 is a sealed, easy-to-transport (including on itself) case with vibration detection means placed inside it for connecting cable sensitive elements of a spiral prefabricated fence. BSO 5 is installed on the ground on a special, included in the kit, base and functions as a precinct cabinet. On the side of BSO 5 there is a solar battery of its own autonomous power supply system for powering all the equipment of its own safety system. When implementing the barrage application of the post in BSO 5, additional means of detecting the alarm line can be installed. If necessary, the post’s own security system can be supplemented with sound and light warning devices integrated with a BSBZ 6 spiral quick-erected signaling fence.

Block spiral quick-erecting boom (BSBZ) 6 is a spiral quick-erecting signal boom, consisting of three spirals of the same diameter of barbed tape, reinforced with a wire core, oriented relative to each other in the form of a triangular prism so that the two lower spirals form the base and the third upper spiral top of the prism, and all the turns of adjacent spirals are paired together at points of contact located on one straight line in length spirals. The device contains two cable vibrating sensing elements, a lower and an upper one, while the lower sensitive element is fixed on one of the lower spirals along its length, and the upper sensitive element is fixed on the upper spiral.

Cable sensitive elements are connected to a vibration detection tool located in BSO 5. The ISBZ 6 is assembled at the factory, packed in a special container 11 and transported to the object by one person.

MZU 8 and SME 7 form an autonomous power supply system for the post.

The charger module (MZU) 8 is a sealed easy-to-transport (including manually) case with a charger placed inside it and connected by sealed connectors to MAB 1.

The solar module (MSB) 7 is a sealed, easy-to-transport (including manually) case 12 with quick-deploying solar panels placed inside it. Solar panels are placed on a metal quick-assembled frame - frame 13. The solar panels are equipped with two perforated strips for hanging them on springs on the frame of the frame. Self-cleaning of the panels from snow is ensured by suspending them on springs, creating constant vibrations and the possibility of bending the panels simultaneously in several directions due to elastic deformations, reducing the likelihood of prolonged sticking of snow on the panel surfaces and the formation of an ice crust. The surface of solar panels is also coated with photocatalytic and hydrophobic effects, which together with a spring suspension provides self-cleaning of solar surfaces from atmospheric precipitation and dirt. MSB 7 is connected by hermetic connectors to the MZU 8. The height and angle of inclination of the solar panels is adjusted during manual installation. In order to increase the overall rigidity of the construction of the post, a metal frame with solar panels is attached to the BSO 5 body by means of fasteners.

If it is necessary to deploy a post in impassable (including mountainous) places, all modules of the post can be delivered to the installation site without using vehicles by a group of several people or horse-drawn or packaged vehicles.

Posts can be used both autonomously and be part of complexes of technical means of protecting extended borders, including the state border, geographically distributed and remote objects.

Depending on the geographical and climatic characteristics of the facility, the posts are set at a distance of 100 to 700 meters (with variable pitch) from each other and form a radio relay line for transmitting signaling, video information and telemetry signals to the station.

In the event of a temporary lack of communication between posts or a failure of the information transmission reception system, a video stream is recorded on a video server on a solid-state drive, followed by transmission of recorded information when restoring a radio channel between posts.

The increase in operating efficiency in difficult climatic conditions is ensured by the use of rapidly deployable solar panels with a passive system for cleaning snow and dirt in an autonomous power supply system.

The advantage of this device is to increase the autonomy and mobility of the technical monitoring post to monitor the situation in the protected areas; extended list of tasks solved by the post; increasing resistance to deliberate exposure by humans in order to incapacitate; simplification of the delivery, installation and commissioning of an autonomous post at geographically remote sites.

All this leads to a decrease in the volume of preparatory, installation and commissioning work at the facility during the deployment of the post.

The advantages of this device also include the fact that the batteries placed in a sealed case are in the ground in the best climatic conditions.

The specified device allows you to achieve the following advantages compared with the prototype:

- increase in operating time in maintenance-free autonomous mode (increasing autonomy) and increasing the reliability of functioning, including in difficult weather conditions;

- an increase in mobility and a decrease in the volume of preparatory, installation and commissioning work at the facility;

- improving operational characteristics and increasing resistance to deliberate human exposure in order to incapacitate.
