Description

The proposal relates to the field of perimeter protection, routes of advancement to industrial facilities, remote from stationary facilities at a considerable distance and is used to organize protection and protection of unauthorized persons from entering industrial facilities. The device is intended for fixed installation and can be used as an imitation of an active security device with a video surveillance camera, the use of which is aimed at preventing unauthorized persons from entering the facility.

A device for simulating LED protection is known, comprising a housing, a LED located on the housing, a pulse generator microcircuit located in the housing, a power source located in a compartment closed by a lid, the LED is connected to the power source through the pulse generator microcircuit, from which voltage pulses of 0.5 s in length and 7.5 s in period are supplied to the LED to ensure its blinking, the compartment lid is provided with a means of fastening to the protected object (RU patent No. 177196, published 13.02.2018). In this case, the power source is two AA batteries connected in series with a nominal voltage of 1.5 V, double-sided tape can be used as a means of fastening to the protected object, the LED is made red.

The disadvantages of this device are:

- a narrow scope of application, limited to a vehicle or small confined spaces, and when used at an industrial facility, the device is not effective enough due to its low visibility, as well as its insufficient indication to an outsider as a security device;

- insufficient efficiency of the security process and the deterrent effect against the penetration of unauthorized persons into industrial facilities, since even if he is detected, the intruder can continue to remain at the facility, since he is not afraid of being recorded and subsequently identified;

- limited battery life, when the batteries are discharged the LED stops working, so there is a high risk of the device being out of order for a long time before the batteries are replaced.

The closest to the proposed one is a security device containing a long-range video camera, infrared spotlights, a loudspeaker, a wind generator, and a battery pack (RU patent No. 122511, published on 27.11.2012). The security device comprises an autonomous video thermal imaging surveillance post "video locator dozor" comprising a linear part including first and second video cameras and a long-range video camera, a station part connected via a radio channel to the linear part located on the mast, into which an antenna of the linear part is introduced, configured to receive and transmit signals via a radio channel, a thermal imager, a linear part radio communication controller connected to the linear part antenna, an autonomous power supply kit containing a gasoline power station, volume sensors, infrared spotlights, a loudspeaker, a high-speed rotating camera, as well as a solar battery unit and a wind generator connected via a charger to the battery unit, a universal security system controller connected via a first cable to the linear part radio communication controller, via a second cable to the high-speed rotating video camera of the autonomous power supply kit, via a third cable to the long-range video camera and the thermal imager on a rotary support device, the fourth cable - with the first and second stationary video cameras, the fifth cable - with a loudspeaker, volume sensors and infrared spotlights of the autonomous power supply kit, and the sixth cable - with a battery unit of the autonomous power supply kit, wherein an automated operator's workstation with a multi-monitor, an intercom handset, an uninterruptible power supply connected to the intercom handset, a video server, an acoustic system connected to the corresponding input of the video server, an antenna of the station part, made with the possibility of receiving and transmitting signals over a radio channel, as well as a radio communication controller of the station part, connected to the antenna of the station part and a video server connected to the uninterruptible power supply and an automated operator's workstation with a multi-monitor are introduced into the station part.

The disadvantages of this device are:

- a large amount of auxiliary equipment and cable connections requires high power consumption, which is not provided by the used power sources, which reduces the battery life, increases the cost, and, therefore, limits the possibility of using it to protect a fishing facility, and is economically impractical;

- limited size of the protected object, as it requires the use of cable lines;

- low efficiency of using solar panels to power batteries and sensors in conditions of precipitation in the form of snow, cloudiness, low illumination during the day, typical for most of the territory of Russia and the ability of snow and dust to stick, as well as the high cost of using solar panels to power batteries and sensors;

- the need for a control panel operator, which increases labor costs and entails human factor risks;

- low efficiency of the process of protecting the fishing facility and the preventive effect on intruders due to the lack of attention being drawn to surveillance cameras, the placement of cameras on a mast, limitations on operation at low air temperatures, reduced quality of work at night, in conditions of low illumination during the day, and periodic precipitation.

At industrial facilities occupying large perimeters of the territory, located at a remote distance from stationary workshops, to perform the protection of the facility, video surveillance cameras are placed along the entire perimeter of the facility at a certain distance from each other and on the routes of advancement to industrial facilities. Security devices also provide warning to violators that the facility is under protection and that they are being monitored by video surveillance, which often forces them to abandon the planned illegal actions. However, this is a fairly expensive process, technically difficult to implement, especially in conditions of a long or complete absence of electricity.

Therefore, a positive solution is to use a security device that simulates the operation of a real security device and operates autonomously for a long time.

The technical result of the invention is to ensure autonomous operation for climatic zones characterized by low illumination during the day, precipitation in the form of snow and fog.

And also simplification of the design while ensuring the possibility of increasing the efficiency of protection of industrial facilities on extended areas of placement, large areas, ensuring the prevention of penetration of unauthorized persons to the facility, both during the day and at night, interchangeability during the period of repair or preventive inspection of the security device with active video surveillance. And also expands the arsenal of devices for simulating the protection of the facility.

The technical result is achieved by a device for simulating the protection of an object, containing a housing, a light-emitting diode located on the housing, motion and light sensors, a control unit including a battery, a pulse generator microcircuit, a wind generator made in the form of a cup wind turbine on a shaft, installed on the surface of the housing.

What is new is that the case is made to imitate a video surveillance camera with a lens, a plastic ring with red LEDs is installed around the circumference of the camera lens on the protective glass of the front part of the video surveillance camera case using double-sided tape, with the ability to turn them on when the level of illumination recorded by the light sensor decreases, the diodes are powered by a battery, a bushing with additional spokes is installed on the lower part of the wind turbine shaft, and a plastic plate is attached to the side surface of the device case using screws.

The device for simulating the security of an object contains a housing 1 (Fig. 1-2) simulating a video surveillance camera, a light-emitting diode located on the housing, motion and light sensors, a control unit including a battery, and a pulse generator microcircuit.

The housing simulating a video surveillance camera is made, for example, from the housing of a faulty video surveillance camera, or by rigidly connecting six rectangular metal plates 1 mm thick with an anti-corrosion coating applied to the surface.

A metal case 4 with a green 5 (Fig. 1-2) and red 6 LEDs on the front surface, motion sensors 7 (Fig. 2) and illumination 8 sensors is mounted on the case 1 simulating a video surveillance camera using fasteners 2 (Fig. 2) in the form of metal plates and screws 3. Inside the case 4 there is a battery 9, for example, a gel battery with a high level of safety, a long service life and good performance at low temperatures (Fig. 1), a pulse generator microcircuit 10, from which voltage pulses are supplied to the LEDs, ensuring their blinking. In the operating mode of the device, the green diode 5 lights up, when the motion sensor 7 is triggered, the red diode 6 turns on with periodic blinking.

A plastic ring 11 (Fig. 1-2) with red LEDs 12 simulating infrared illumination diodes (Fig. 2) around the circumference of the camera lens is installed on the protective glass of the simulating video surveillance camera 1 using double-sided tape (not shown in the diagram). These LEDs are switched on when the illumination level recorded by the illumination sensor 8 decreases. The diodes are powered by a battery 9 through a wire 13 (Fig. 2).

The battery 9 is charged using a cup windmill 14 (Fig. 1-2), installed on the upper surface of the device housing 4, and a generator 18 (Fig. 2), located inside the housing 4.

The cup windmill 14 contains cups 15 (Fig. 1-2) in the form of hemispheres made of plastic or metal with a diameter of 40-50 mm in the amount of 3-4 pieces, made with the possibility of creating through spokes 16, 19 a torque on a vertically installed shaft 17, then the rotation of the shaft is transmitted to the generator 18, while the resulting electrical energy charges the storage battery 9. A reflective coating is applied to the inner surface of the cups 15 of the windmill, which additionally attracts attention to the device at night.

A bushing with lower additional spokes 19 is installed on the lower part of the wind turbine shaft, and a plastic plate 20 is attached to the rear surface of the device body using screws (Fig. 1-2). The length of the plate is 40-50 mm, the thickness is 1 mm, which ensures the necessary flexibility and elasticity. When the cup wind turbine 14 rotates, the cups 15 create a torque on the vertical shaft 17 through the upper spokes 16 with the possibility of transmitting rotation to the generator shaft 18, and the lower spokes 19 interact with the plastic plate 20, creating a ratchet sound that draws attention to the dummy security device during the day and at night. The noise level created by the ratchet provides 40-50 dB.

The use of red LEDs simulating video recording with infrared illumination improves the quality of simulating a security device at night.

The use of a cup wind turbine to power a battery has a high autonomy of operation for climate zones characterized by low illumination during the day and precipitation in the form of snow.

The use of the proposed device for simulating the security of an object, simulating the operation of a video camera, significantly reduces costs compared to the use of active video surveillance.

Thus, the proposed device for simulating the protection of an object with a simulating video surveillance camera has a high autonomy of operation for climatic zones characterized by low illumination during the day, precipitation in the form of snow, fog, high efficiency of use as a deterrent factor to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the object, both during the day and at night, with reduced costs compared to the use of active video surveillance.

The device for simulating the protection of an object is proposed to be used at remote objects with a long absence of working personnel, periodic visits by duty personnel, in areas with a wind rose characterized by the strength and frequency of the wind sufficient for the operation of a wind turbine for the purpose of charging the battery, and also as a backup option when removing an active security device for repair and installing the proposed design of the device for simulating the protection of an object.

The assembly of the device is carried out as follows. The battery 9, the pulse generator microcircuit 10, the generator 18 are installed inside the housing 4, which is a prefabricated structure. Green and red LEDs 5 and 6, a motion sensor 7, and a light sensor 8 are installed in the corresponding holes on the front part of the housing 4. All elements are connected to each other with the corresponding wires. Wind turbine 14 is assembled: spokes 16, 19 and shaft 17 can be either a single or a prefabricated structure, when spokes 16, 19 are fixed with the corresponding limiters (not shown in the diagram), cups 15 are fixed on spokes 16 with the corresponding screws (not shown in the diagram). Next, the wind turbine shaft 17 is installed in the generator 18, and a plastic plate 20 is installed on the rear surface of the housing 4 using screws, the location of which is adjusted to create sound when the lower spokes 19 interact. After this, the housing 4 is installed on the housing 1, simulating a video surveillance camera, using fasteners 2 in the form of metal plates and screws 3. A plastic ring 11 with red LEDs 12, simulating infrared illumination diodes, is installed on the protective glass of the simulating video surveillance camera 1 using double-sided tape (not shown in the diagram), along the circumference of the camera lens with the connection of the corresponding wire to the battery 9. The fully assembled device for simulating the protection of an object is installed in a visible place of the protected object using a standard fastener (not shown in the diagram) used for installing video surveillance cameras. It can be used as an autonomous device for simulating the protection of an object, as well as for protecting an industrial object for a partial replacement of active video cameras.

The use of the proposed device for simulating the security of an object reduces the probability of unauthorized entry of intruders into the object by at least 70%, reduces costs compared to an autonomous active video surveillance system by more than 10 times, is not limited in autonomous operation time, and due to its low cost and independence from a power source, has no restrictions on the installation area and can be used at a large number of objects.

The device for simulating the security of an object works as follows.

The cup windmill 14 charges the storage battery 9 through the generator 18. The use of the cup windmill to power the storage battery has a high autonomy of operation for climatic zones characterized by low illumination during the day, precipitation in the form of snow. When the cup windmill 14 rotates, the cups 15 create a torque on the vertical shaft 17 through the upper spokes 16 with the possibility of transmitting rotation to the shaft of the generator 18, and the interaction of the lower spokes 19 with the plastic plate 20 occurs, while the ratchet sound is created, which attracts attention to the dummy of the security device in the daytime and at night. The pulse generator microcircuit 10, from which voltage pulses are sent to the LEDs, ensuring their blinking. In the operating mode of the device, the green diode 5 lights up, when the motion sensor 7 is triggered, the red diode 6 turns on with periodic flashing, which increases the similarity of the device with an active operating video surveillance camera for an intruder. The use of red LEDs 12, simulating video recording with infrared illumination, improves the quality of imitation of the security device at night.
