Abstract

The invention relates to an anti-theft device for motor-driven vehicles, in particular motorcycles, comprising an anti-theft box (3), which protects the connector plug (10) that connects the ignition lock cable (7) to the cable (11) that carries the motor electrics against interference, in particular against the connection of a substitute lock. The ignition lock cable (7) is protected by a jacket (8). The jacket (8) prevents the wires of the ignition lock cable (7) from being rapidly exposed and thus prevents the short-circuiting of the ignition lock (6). If the jacket (8) is configured to be electrically conductive, it can be connected to the vehicle battery (14) by means of an earthing conductor (12). Alternatively, the vehicle earth (13) can be connected to an electrically conductive anti-theft box (3), which in turn is in contact with the electrically conductive jacket (8). If the wires of the ignition lock cable (7) are then short-circuited with the help of sharp implements, such as needles, an earth short is caused in the electric circuit of the vehicle, which trips the main fuse (15) and prevents the operation of the vehicle.

Description

Vorrichtung zum Schutz eines Zündschloßkabels Device for protecting an ignition lock cable
Die Erfindung betrifft den Schutz motorbetriebener Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Motorräder, gegen Manipulation an dem Zündschloßkabel und schützt somit vor Diebstahl dieser Fahrzeuge. Eine Manipulation an dem Zündschloßkabel kann ein Aufschlitzen oder Durchtrennen desselben bedeuten, um an die innenliegenden einzelnen Leitungen zu gelangen, um diese kurzzuschließen und damit das Zündschloß zu überbrücken, oder gar das Abhängen des Zündschloßkabels an dem Anschlußstecker zur Motorelektronik und Einsatzes eines Ersatzzündschlosses zum Starten des Fahrzeugs. Entsprechend ist bei einer Diebstahlsicherung hier einzugreifen.The invention relates to the protection of motor-driven vehicles, in particular motorcycles, against manipulation of the ignition lock cable and thus protects against theft of these vehicles. Tampering with the ignition lock cable can mean slitting or cutting it in order to access the individual lines on the inside in order to short-circuit them and thereby bridge the ignition lock, or even detaching the ignition lock cable from the connector to the engine electronics and using a replacement ignition lock to start the vehicle. Accordingly, intervene in the case of theft protection.
Die Sicherung motorbetriebener Fahrzeuge, insbesondere solcher, deren Zündschlösser und damit auch deren Zündschloßkabel frei zugänglich sind, wie z.B. Motorrädern, erfolgt meist mit zusätzlichen externen Sicherungsmitteln, wie z.B. Ketten-, Bügel- oder Drahtseilschlösser oder mit aufwendiger Zusatzelektronik, deren Einbau einen beträchtlichen Zeit- und Kostenaufwand darstellt. Gewöhnlich zeichnen sich alle zusätzlichen Sicherungsmaßnahmen für Fahrzeuge durch einen marginalen aber als störend empfundenen Aufwand beim sicheren Abstellen der Fahrzeuge aus. Wird das Fahrzeug abgestellt, um es z.B. kurze Zeit später in einer Garage sicher unterzubringen, finden oft keine der zusätzlichen Sicherungsmittel Anwendung. Da sich die herstellerseitig in den Fahrzeugen integrierten Zündschlösser in Sekunden überbrücken lassen, steht in dieser Situation dem Diebstahl nichts im Weg. Daher muss eine effektive Diebstahlsicherung möglichst ohne Zeitaufwand zu bedienen sein bzw. auf eine Art und Weise integriert sein, dass kein Bedienungsaufwand erforderlich ist.Securing motor-powered vehicles, especially those whose ignition locks and thus also their ignition lock cables are freely accessible, e.g. Motorcycles, usually done with additional external securing devices, such as Chain, shackle or wire rope locks or with complex additional electronics, the installation of which requires a considerable amount of time and money. Usually, all additional security measures for vehicles are characterized by a marginal but annoying effort when parking the vehicles safely. If the vehicle is parked to e.g. Safe storage in a garage a short time later often does not use any of the additional securing devices. Since the ignition locks integrated in the vehicle by the manufacturer can be bridged in seconds, nothing stands in the way of theft in this situation. Therefore, an effective anti-theft device must be operated as quickly as possible or integrated in such a way that no operating effort is required.
In der deutschen Patentschrift DE 197 14 620 A I und der europäischen Patentschrift EP 0 953 700 AI sind typische externe Sicherungsmittel offenbart, die mit zusätzlichen Sicherungselemente versehen sind. Bei beiden handelt es sich um ein Zusatzschloß, mit dem das Fahrzeug an einem weiteren Gegenstand, z.B. einem Motorradständer, in der Art eines Drahtseilschlosses gesichert wird. Drahtseilschlösser selbst sind als Sicherungsmittel nur gegen ungeplanten Diebstahl tauglich. Mit entsprechender Ausrüstung bieten Sicherungen dieser Art keinen Schutz. Daher ist in den beiden obigen Patentschriften das Schloß mit elektrischen bzw. mechanischen Sicherungsmitteln ausgestattet. Die den beiden Patenten zugrundeliegende Idee ist, das Durchtrennen des Schloßes bzw. das unsachgemäße Öffnen des Schließmechanismus des Schlosses durch ein akustisches und/oder optisches Signal anzuzeigen, in der Hoffnung, dass sich ein Dieb abschrecken läßt. Der Betrieb der zusätzlichen Sicherungsmaßnahmen erfordert entweder eine Stromversorgung, die den Betrieb eines Signalhorns oder Signallichtes erlaubt (siehe EP 0 953 700 AI), oder aber einen Signalgeber, wie einen Raucherzeuger (siehe DE 197 14 620 A 1). Beides birgt funktionsbedingt Fehler- und Gefahrenquellen. Elektrische Signalgeber können unterbrochen oder überbrückt werden und sind auf eine fortwährend funktionstüchtige Stromversorgung, die bei Batteriebetrieb nicht gewährleistet werden kann, angewiesen. Signalgeber in der Art eines Raucherzeugers können fehlausgelöst werden und zur Gefahrenquelle bei Betrieb des Fahrzeugs im Straßenverkehr werden.Typical external securing means are disclosed in the German patent specification DE 197 14 620 AI and the European patent specification EP 0 953 700 AI, which are provided with additional securing elements. Both are additional locks with which the vehicle is secured to another object, such as a motorcycle stand, in the manner of a wire cable lock. Wire rope locks themselves are only suitable as a means of securing against unplanned theft. With appropriate equipment, fuses of this type do not offer protection. Therefore, the lock is included in the above two patents electrical or mechanical securing means. The idea on which the two patents are based is to indicate that the lock has been severed or the locking mechanism has been improperly opened by means of an acoustic and / or optical signal, in the hope that a thief can be deterred. The operation of the additional security measures requires either a power supply that allows the operation of a signal horn or signal light (see EP 0 953 700 AI), or a signal generator, such as a smoke generator (see DE 197 14 620 A1). Both involve sources of error and danger due to their function. Electrical signaling devices can be interrupted or bridged and are dependent on a continuously functional power supply, which cannot be guaranteed with battery operation. Signal generators in the manner of a smoke generator can be triggered incorrectly and become a source of danger when the vehicle is operated in road traffic.
Ein höherer Sicherheitsstandart wird mit Diebstahlsicherungen, wie z.B. in der PCT WO 86/07319 offenbart, erreicht. Gemäß dem Patent wird der elektrische Schaltkreis zum Starten des Motors über mindestens ein zusätzliches Relais unterbrochen. Dieses Relais wird günstigerweise direkt an einem Pol der Batterie oder an den Zündkerzen angebracht. Das Schaltrelais und der Batteriepol bzw. die Zündkerze werden in ein gemeinsames Gehäuse angeordnet, um das Überbrücken des Relais oder das Kurzschließen der Relaisschaltleitung zu verhindern. In einer konkreten Ausführungsform ist darauf zu achten, dass die Relaisschaltleitung nicht frei verlegt wird. So ist z.B. die Aktivierung des Relais mittels eines digitalen Codeschloßes denkbar. Die Elektronik eines solchen Codeschloßes muss, damit die gewünschte Diebstahlsicherheit gewährleistet wird, in dem Relaisgehäuse mit untergebracht werden; einzig die Steuerleitungen der Codeschloßtasten dürfen frei zugänglich sein. Der Kosten- und Einbauaufwand dieser Art von Diebstahlsicherung ist hoch. Der Bedienaufwand ist nicht zu unterschätzen, da vernünftigerweise nach jedem Halt des Motors die Diebstahlsicherung erneut bedient werden muss. Eine nur auf Benutzerwunsch aktive Diebstahlsicherung bietet nicht den von diesen Einrichtungen erwarteten Schutz, da die Aktivierung leicht versäumt werden kann. Der Einbau von ergänzenden Bauteilen in ein Fahrzeug, erhöht zudem die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Bauteildefektes. Da hier direkt in die Stromversorgung der Motorelektrik eingegriffen wird, ist im Fall eines Defekts mit dem Totalausfall des Fahrzeugs zu rechnen. Reparaturen von zusätzlichen Einbauten können nicht immer von jeder Werkstatt durchgeführt werden.A higher security standard is provided with anti-theft devices, e.g. disclosed in PCT WO 86/07319. According to the patent, the electrical circuit for starting the engine is interrupted by at least one additional relay. This relay is conveniently attached directly to a battery post or to the spark plugs. The switching relay and the battery pole or the spark plug are arranged in a common housing in order to prevent the relay being bridged or the relay switching line short-circuited. In a specific embodiment, care must be taken that the relay switching line is not laid freely. For example, the activation of the relay by means of a digital code lock is conceivable. The electronics of such a code lock must be accommodated in the relay housing in order to ensure the desired security against theft; only the control lines of the code lock keys may be freely accessible. The cost and installation effort of this type of anti-theft device is high. The operating effort should not be underestimated, as the anti-theft device has to be operated again after every stop of the engine. An anti-theft device that is only active when requested by the user does not offer the protection expected from these devices, since activation can easily be neglected. The installation of additional components in a vehicle also increases the likelihood of a component defect. Since this intervenes directly in the power supply to the engine electronics, the total failure of the vehicle can be expected in the event of a defect. Repairs to additional internals cannot always be carried out by every workshop.
Manipulationen an Fahrzeugen und deren Elektrik sind nicht zu verhindern. Es können vom Besitzer/Benutzer des Fahrzeugs nur Maßnahmen getroffen werden, den dafür nötigen Zeitaufwand so weit zu erhöhen, dass ein Diebstahl praktisch nicht mehr durchführbar ist. Der Diebstahl eines motorgetriebenen Fahrzeuges muss, damit das Risiko für einen Dieb gering bleibt, schnell und unauffällig verlaufen.Tampering with vehicles and their electrics cannot be prevented. The owner / user of the vehicle can only take measures to increase the time required for this to the extent that theft is practically no longer feasible. The theft of a motor-driven vehicle must be quick and unobtrusive so that the risk of a thief remains low.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine bedienungsfreie, kostengünstige und wartungsarme Diebstahlsicherung in Form eines Zündschloßkabel-Schutzes für motorbetriebene Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Motorräder, bereitzustellen. Insbesondere soll eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz eines Zündschloßkanels gegen Manipulation angegeben werden.It is the object of the present invention to provide an operator-free, inexpensive and low-maintenance anti-theft device in the form of an ignition lock cable protection for motor-operated vehicles, in particular motorcycles. In particular, a device for protecting an ignition lock channel against manipulation is to be specified.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The solution to this problem results from the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments result from the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die Sicherungsvorrichtung eine Schutzbox, die den Anschlußstecker des Zündschloßes und die zugehörige Buchse des zur Motorelektrik führenden Kabels umgibt. Ferner ist das zum Zündschloß führende Kabel mit einer Ummantelung versehen.According to the invention, the securing device comprises a protective box which surrounds the connector plug of the ignition lock and the associated socket of the cable leading to the engine electronics. Furthermore, the cable leading to the ignition lock is provided with a sheathing.
Bei vielen motorbetriebenen Fahrzeugen, insbesondere Motorrädern, sind die Zündschloßkabel aufgrund von wenig oder gar keiner schützenden Verkleidung sehr einfach zugänglich. Um ein Zündschloß zu überbrücken, ist es nur nötig, das praktisch frei liegende Zündschloßkabel aufzuschneiden und die entsprechenden Leitungen mit Hilfe einer spitzen Vorrichtung, z.B. einer Nadel, kurzzuschließen oder das Zündschloßkabel komplett durchzuschneiden, um auf diese Art und Weise an die einzelnen Leitungen zu gelangen. Durch die Ummantelung wird ein schneller Zugriff auf die einzelnen Leitungen des Zündschloßkabels verhindert. Dies ist oft ausreichend, um den Diebstahl des Fahrzeugs zu verhindern, da, wie bereits oben dargelegt, aufwendigere Maßnahmen zeitaufwendig sind und entsprechend auffallen.In many motorized vehicles, especially motorcycles, the ignition lock cables are very easily accessible due to little or no protective covering. To bridge an ignition lock, it is only necessary to cut open the practically exposed ignition lock cable and use a pointed device, e.g. a needle, short-circuit or cut the ignition cable completely to get to the individual leads in this way. The jacket prevents quick access to the individual lines of the ignition lock cable. This is often sufficient to prevent the theft of the vehicle, since, as already explained above, more complex measures are time-consuming and stand out accordingly.
Eine sehr einfache Alternative des Kurzschließens ist das Ersetzen des Zündschloßes durch ein Ersatzschloß, welches durch die Schutzbox, die den Anschlußstecker umfasst, verhindert wird. Der Anschlußstecker ist in den Fahrzeugen aufgrund von fertigungs- und/oder bauartbedingten Umständen oft sehr leicht zu erreichen. Das von dem Anschlußstecker zur Motorelektrik führende Kabel wird so weit fahrzeuginnenliegend geführt, dass ein Eingriff an dieser Stelle nicht mehr erfolgen kann. Die Erfindung schützt somit alle relativ leicht zugänglichen Bereiche des Zündschloßkabels. Die Ummantelung kann aus einem Drahtgeflecht bestehen. Das Drahtgeflecht kann dabei einzelne Leitungen oder den gesamten Kabelstrang umfassen. Die Ummantelung kann auch durch eine Metallarmierung geschützt sein.A very simple alternative to short-circuiting is to replace the ignition lock with a replacement lock, which is prevented by the protective box that includes the connector. The connector is often very easy to reach in vehicles due to manufacturing and / or design-related circumstances. The cable leading from the connector to the engine electronics is guided so far inside the vehicle that an intervention at this point can no longer take place. The invention thus protects all relatively easily accessible areas of the ignition lock cable. The sheathing can consist of a wire mesh. The wire mesh can include individual lines or the entire cable harness. The casing can also be protected by metal reinforcement.
Vorzugsweise ist bei Einsatz einer elektrisch leitfähigen Ummantelung die Ummantelung mit einem Masseleiter verbunden. Durch die Verbindung mit der Fahrzeugmasse wird bei einem Durchstechen der Ummantelung mit einem spitzen Gegenstand zum Zwecke des Kurzschließens ein Masseschluß hergestellt, der zum Auslösen der Hauptsicherung des Fahrzeugs führt. Ein Starten des Fahrzeugs ist nicht mehr möglich, da zuvor die Sicherung ausgetauscht werden muss. Mit einem Tausch der Sicherung ist das Fahrzeug wieder betriebsbereit.When using an electrically conductive sheathing, the sheathing is preferably connected to a ground conductor. Through the connection to the vehicle mass, when the casing is pierced with a pointed object for the purpose of short-circuiting, a short to ground is produced which leads to the tripping of the main fuse of the vehicle. Starting the vehicle is no longer possible because the fuse must be replaced beforehand. The vehicle is ready for operation again when the fuse is replaced.
Vorzugsweise ist die Sicherungsbox aus mehreren Teilen zusammengesetzt, damit ein nachträglicher Einbau in das Fahrzeug einfach erfolgen kann. Die einzelnen Teile sind, um einen ausreichenden Schutz zu gewährleisten, mit speziellen Verbindungsmitteln versehen, deren Öffnen nur schwer, z.B. mit Spezialwerkzeug, oder gar nicht möglich ist. So kann ein Verbindungsmittel eine Sicherungsschraube sein, die sich nur ein- aber nicht mehr ausdrehen läßt. Möglich ist auch, die einzelnen Teile über ein Verriegelungsschloß miteinander zu verbinden, um ausreichend Schutz gegen unbefugtes Öffnen zu gewährleisten und zugleich weiterhin Zugang zu dem Sicherungsboxinneren zu haben. Wenn kein Zugang erwünscht bzw. benötigt wird, können die Teile alternativ verlötet, verschweißt, vernietet oder anderweitig dauerhaft verbunden werden.The fuse box is preferably composed of several parts so that it can be easily retrofitted into the vehicle. In order to ensure adequate protection, the individual parts are provided with special connecting means that are difficult to open, e.g. with special tools, or not possible at all. A lanyard can be a locking screw that can only be screwed in but not unscrewed. It is also possible to connect the individual parts to one another via a locking lock to ensure adequate protection against unauthorized opening and at the same time continue to have access to the interior of the fuse box. If no access is desired or required, the parts can alternatively be soldered, welded, riveted or otherwise permanently connected.
Vorzugsweise besteht die Sicherungsbox aus widerstandsfähigem Material, z.B. Metall mit einer ausreichenden Wandstärke, um mechanischen Öffnungsversuchen entgegenzuwirken. Die Stabilität der Sicherungsbox ist so auszulegen, dass sie selbst mit Werkzeug nur unter Zeitaufwand und mit größeren Mühen entfernt bzw. geöffnet werden kann. Je nach Einsatzort und Fahrzeugart ist in Größe, Gewicht und Stabilität ein sinnvoller Kompromiß zu finden.Preferably the fuse box is made of a resistant material, e.g. Metal with sufficient wall thickness to counter mechanical opening attempts. The stability of the fuse box is to be designed in such a way that it can only be removed or opened with a great deal of time and effort, even with tools. Depending on the location and type of vehicle, a sensible compromise can be found in size, weight and stability.
Vorzugsweise sind sowohl die Ummantelung als auch die Schutzbox elektrisch leitfähig. Wenn die Schutzbox und die Ummantelung im weiteren elektrisch leitend verbunden sind, kann die Kontaktierung der Ummantelung bzw. Sicherungsbox an die Fahrzeugmasse einfacherweise über Verbindung der Sicherungsbox mit dem Fahrzeugrahmen oder entsprechender auf Masse liegender Fahrzeugteile erfolgen. Dies hat den Vorteil, keinen separaten Masseleiter, der unterbrochen werden kann und damit der Diebstahlschutz teilweise unterlaufen wird, verlegen zu müssen. Die Kontaktierung kann z.B. über die Befestigungsmittel wie Schrauben der Sicherungsbox am Fahrzeugrahmen erfolgen.Both the casing and the protective box are preferably electrically conductive. If the protective box and the casing are further connected in an electrically conductive manner, the casing or fuse box can be contacted to the vehicle ground simply by connecting the fuse box to the vehicle frame or corresponding vehicle parts lying on the ground. This has the advantage that there is no need to lay a separate ground wire that can be interrupted and thus partially undermines the theft protection. The contact can be made via the Fasteners such as screws of the fuse box are made on the vehicle frame.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines besonderen Ausfuhrungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen. Die Ausführungsform ist bevorzugt für den Einbau in Motorrädern vorgesehen.Further details, features and advantages of the present invention result from the following description of a particular exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawings. The embodiment is preferably intended for installation in motorcycles.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt den Aufbau einer metallenen Sicherungsbox 3 zur Verwendung in der vorliegenden Erfindung aus dem inneren Teil 1 und dem äußeren Teil 2, die mit speziellen Sicherungsschrauben 4 verbunden sind. Das innere Teil 1 wird in das äußere Teil 2 eingeschoben und somit vollständig geschlossen. Diese Ausführungsform eignet sich besonders zum nachträglichen Einbau in ein Motorrad. Das anschließend nötige Sichern gegen unbefugtes Öffnen von Teil 1 und Teil 2 erfolgt mit den Sicherheitsschrauben 4. Diese zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie nicht mit gewöhnlichen Schraubendrehern zu öffnen sind, jedoch die Schutzbox mit dem entsprechenden Spezialwerkzeug im Fall eines nötigen Zündschloßwechsels weiterhin entfernt werden kann, um den Anschlußstecker 10 zu erreichen. Die Schutzbox enthält zur Kabelführung zwei Kabeldurchführungen 5, 5'.Fig. 1 shows the structure of a metal fuse box 3 for use in the present invention from the inner part 1 and the outer part 2, which are connected with special locking screws 4. The inner part 1 is inserted into the outer part 2 and thus completely closed. This embodiment is particularly suitable for retrofitting in a motorcycle. The subsequent securing against unauthorized opening of part 1 and part 2 is done with the security screws 4. These are characterized by the fact that they cannot be opened with ordinary screwdrivers, but the protective box is still removed with the appropriate special tool if the ignition lock needs to be changed can to reach the connector 10. The protective box contains two cable bushings 5, 5 'for cable routing.
Fig. 2 zeigt ein mit der Ummantelung 8 gesichertes Zündschloßkabel 7 und die den Anschlußstecker 10 umgebende Sicherungsbox 3. Der Anschlußstecker 10 verbindet das Zündschloßkabel 7 mit dem zur Motorelektrik führenden Kabel 11. Der Masseleiter 12 der als Drahtgeflecht ausgeführten Ummantelung 8 des Zündschloßkabels 7 ist innerhalb der Schutzbox 3 gefuhrt, um einer Manipulation entgegen zu wirken. Alternativ kann der Anschluß an die Masse des Fahrzeugs über eine entsprechende Montage der Schutzbox 3 erfolgen, in dem die elektrisch leitende Schutzbox 3 an der Masse des Fahrzeugs 13 mit Hilfe einer elektrisch leitenden Verbindung kontaktiert wird und die elektrisch leitende Ummantelung 8 ihrerseits an die elektrisch leitende Schutzbox 3 anschließt. Vorteilhafterweise wird bei dieser Ausführung der Masseanschluß 13 durch die Schutzbox 3 dem Eingriff von außen entzogen. Vorteilhafterweise kann die elektrisch leitende Schutzbox 3 in einer entsprechenden Art und Weise auf einem auf Masse liegenden Fahrzeugteil angebracht werden, dass ein spezieller Masseleiter 12, 13 nicht benötigt wird.2 shows an ignition lock cable 7 secured with the sheathing 8 and the fuse box 3 surrounding the connector 10. The connector 10 connects the ignition lock cable 7 to the cable 11 leading to the engine electronics. The ground conductor 12 of the sheath 8 of the ignition lock cable 7, which is designed as a wire mesh, is inside the protective box 3 guided to counteract manipulation. Alternatively, the connection to the ground of the vehicle can be made by fitting the protective box 3 accordingly, in which the electrically conductive protective box 3 is contacted to the ground of the vehicle 13 with the aid of an electrically conductive connection and the electrically conductive sheathing 8 in turn to the electrically conductive one Protective box 3 connects. In this embodiment, the ground connection 13 is advantageously removed from the outside by the protective box 3. Advantageously, the electrically conductive protective box 3 can be attached in a corresponding manner to a vehicle part lying on the ground in such a way that a special ground conductor 12, 13 is not required.
Die Hauptsicherung 15 der Batterie 14 des Fahrzeugs fallt aus, wenn durch äußere Manipulationen Kontakt zwischen der auf Masse 12 bzw. 13 liegenden Ummantelung 8 und einem der stromführenden Leitungen des Zündschloßkabels 7 hergestellt wird. Dies ist besonders dann der Fall, wenn zum Überbrücken des Zündschloßes 6 spitze Vorrichtungen, wie z.B. Nadeln, eingesetzt werden. The main fuse 15 of the battery 14 of the vehicle fails if external manipulations make contact between the sheathing 8 and 13 lying on ground 12 and 13, respectively one of the current-carrying lines of the ignition lock cable 7 is produced. This is particularly the case when pointed devices, such as needles, are used to bridge the ignition lock 6.
