Description

PASSIVE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION SECURITY UNIT
Technical Field
The invention relates to the passive vehicle identification units, which enable automatic identification while the fuel filling is being carried out for the vehicles.
The invention relates in particular to enabling the passive vehicle identification units to attain a more secure status, by means of the seal application.
Background of the Invention
Today, the passive vehicle identification units are known to be RFID (radio frequency identification) transponders (electromagnetic carrier) operating without the presence of a power supply.
Said passive vehicle units comprise the main components of an antenna and RFID microchip. The unique ID information on the microchips may be read as well as it being possible to write desired information onto the chip.
Vehicle identification units (VIU) are installed on the vehicles, in order to control and record the fuel consumption of the vehicles in the fleets, with the help of said units along with the automation systems at the points of purchasing the fuel.
Said devices may be used in any kind of land, marine and railway vehicle or in the other heavy machinery running on liquid fuel.
The common practice involves a method in which the antenna and the microchip are separate from each other, and the compartment where the microchip is located is assembled on the vehicle by means of a screw or rivet and/or is secured to the vehicle with the help of a strong adhesive. The operating principle of said vehicle identification units is as follows.
When the fuel pump gun enters the inlet of the fuel tank in order to provide the fuel and the antenna on the gun approaches the antenna of the unit positioned on the vehicle by a certain distance, the RFID reader on the pump to which the gun antenna is connected reads the unique identity information associated with said vehicle and also the other information previously recorded, on the microchip in the vehicle's tag, with the help of the antenna of the vehicle tag and via the radio frequency, and then the system confirms the fuel filling process and activates the pump.
Then all the details of the transaction carried out (such as the vehicle's license tag, amount of fuel provided, price for the fuel provided, date and time, station name, etc.) are recorded by the system, in order to monitor the fuel consumption of the vehicle in a safe manner.
In the current practice of the passive vehicle identification unit, the tag is assembled on the vehicle by way of screwing (it is also possible to use an adhesive for the purpose). This becomes insufficient in preventing the detachment of the passive vehicle identification unit from one vehicle and the assembly of the same on another vehicle, or in hindering another undesired and off the record filling process to be carried out.
That said unit is easily moved onto another vehicle leads to undesired uses and to the inability to access the actual information values of the vehicle fleets.
In the European patent application no. EP1094028 titled "Automatic motor vehicle identification system and method for the gas stations", being relevant to the state of the art, the antenna located on the pump mouthpiece establishes communication with the radio transmitter in the fuel tank, in order to identify the vehicle. Either in said application, the radio transmitter has no security on the fuel tank. By any method, said radio transmitter may be easily carried over to another vehicle.
Also in the German patent application no. DE19803268 according to the state of the art, the vehicle identification process is carried out by means of a scanning device situated on the pump.
In the European patent application no. EP0868393, the vehicle identification procedure is carried out by similar methods, using a distributor element located on the pump and a radio transmitter located on the vehicle.
However, the aforesaid applications do not either include any practice aimed at the security of said radio transmitter.
An effort has been made to seek an innovation concerning the security of the passive vehicle identification units, with the aim of eliminating the aforesaid disadvantages.
Object of the Invention
Based on the state of the art, the object of the invention is to increase the security of the vehicle identification units, which enable automatic identification while the fuel filling is being carried out for the motor vehicles.
Another object of the invention is to propose a structure, which prevents easy transfer of said vehicle identification unit from the vehicle, to which it is assigned, to another vehicle. Another object of the invention is to prevent the transfer of said units to another vehicle, and thus to avoid the performance of an undesired and off-the-record filling procedure.
Another object of the invention is to propose a structure, which prevents disassembly of said unit from the vehicle by way of breaking, and consequently hinders the operation of the unit in this undesirable condition.
Another object of the invention is to propose a structure, which allows said unit to be dismantled from the vehicle only by way breaking, and enables the gas . station staff to easily recognize that the unit attempted to be mounted on the new vehicle is a stolen one.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The invention relates to the security apparatus employed in the passive vehicle identification units, which enable automatic identification while the fuel filling is being carried out for the vehicles, in order to prevent said units from being fitted to another vehicle in an undesired manner.
In Figure-1, the operating principle of the passive vehicle identification unit according to the invention is illustrated.
Said unit comprises the maim components of the pump (7), the pump gun (2) connected with said pump (7) via the gun hose (2.2), the gun antenna (2.1) locate on said pump gun (2), the fuel tank (1) located on the vehicles (1), the fuel tank antenna (3) connected with the fuel tank inlet (1.1), the seal cover unit (4) connected with said fuel tank antenna (3) and bearing the microchip (4.9) and the reader unit (6) to which the information from said vehicle is transferred. The operating principle of said unit is similar to that of the state of the art, wherein said pump gun (2), while performing the fuel filling process, communicates with the fuel tank antenna (3) located on the fuel tank (1), via the gun antenna (2.1) located on said pump gun (2). Said fuel tank antenna (3) transfers the information, which it receives from the microchip (4.9) located in the seal cover unit (4) via the data cable (4.1), to the gun antenna (2.1) via radio frequency (5), and the gun antenna (2.1), in turn, transfers said information via another data cable (2.3) to the reader unit (6) located on the pump (7). In this way, the vehicle information reaches the reader unit (6) during the filling process.
However, the biggest problem encountered in this apparatus is the security of the seal cover unit (4). It is necessary to prevent it from being carried over to another vehicle in an undesirable manner.
Said seal cover unit (4) comprises the main components of the lower body (4.10), the seal cover (4.6) located on said lower body (4.10), the microchip housing (4.2) connected with said lower body (4.10), the connection means (4.7) connecting said microchip housing (4.2) with the lower body (4.10), the engagement ratchets (4.8) enabling the connection of said seal cover (4.6) with the lower body (4.10) and the ratchet slot (4.5).
For the assembly of said seal cover unit (4), said microchip housing (4.2) is first connected with the lower body (4.10) via a screw hole (4.3). Said microchip housing (4.2) bears the microchip (4.9). The break point (4.4) is positioned on said microchip housing (4.2) and the microchip (4.9).
When it is desired to remove the seal cover unit (4) by breaking the same, the break point (4.4), being the point with the weakest strength, breaks and causes the microchip (4.9) positioned under it to be damaged. In this way, the persons who want to remove the seal cover unit (4) by breaking the same leave the microchip (4.9) in a state impossible to use. This provides a dissuasive effect.
After the connection of the microchip housing (4.2) with the lower body (4.10), the screw hole (4.3), being the position at which the lower body (4.10) and the microchip housing (4.2) overlap, is closed by means of at least one connection means (4.7).
Said connection means (4.7) comprise the pieces such as screw, rivet, which secure the microchip housing (4.2) with the lower body (4.10) via the screw hole (4.3).
Following the securing of said lower body (4.10) with the microchip housing (4.2), the seal cover (4.6) is positioned on the lower body (4.10).
The engagement ratchet (4.8) located on said seal cover (4.6) engages and locks with the ratchet slot (4.5) located on the lower body (4.10). Said ratchet slot (4.5) has a geometric shape form similar to that of said engagement ratchet (4.8).
When engagement operation is complete, said engagement ratchet (4.8), owing to its upward-facing structure, becomes seated on the ratchet slot (4.5), and prevents the same from going out or from being taken out again. As a result, the unit does not allow reaching the connection means (4.7), which must be dismantled in order for the microchip housing (4.2) bearing said microchip (4.9) to be able to be removed from the lower body (4.10), without breaking the same.
Said fuel tank antenna (3) is connected with the seal cover unit (4) by means of at least one connector (8) and via the data cable (4.1). When it is needed to replace the fuel tank antenna (3) for any reason (e.g. fracture or destruction), said connector (8) enables the replacement of the same, without the need being left to detach the microchip (4.9) bearing the vehicle identity information from the vehicle.
The protective scope of this application is determined in the section of claims and the scope may by no means be limited to the description above provided only for exemplary purposes. It is obvious that a person skilled in the art may provide the innovation put forward by the invention also by using the similar embodiments and/or apply this embodiment to other fields with similar purpose used in the relevant art. Consequently, such embodiments would obviously lack the criterion of innovative step.
