Embodiments of the invention

In the proposed embodiment of the proposed system, a locking device with a burglar alarm consists of a housing 1 and a holding device 2, while the holding device engages with the housing through a locking mechanism 4, and also includes a security alarm 3 located in the housing 1 of the locking device and a key 6 built-in radio frequency identification tag 18, which interacts with a burglar alarm by sending an identification signal, and depending on p As a result of identification, it turns off or activates the burglar alarm.

 In the housing 1 of the locking device, a locking mechanism 4, a power supply 7, a security alarm 3, at least one light-emitting indicator 8, at least one audible siren 9, a reading device 12 and a reading transceiver 13 which are connected to the control unit 11 are located, sensor contact integrity 10 which is connected to the control unit 11.

 The holding device 2 is made combined and includes a power element 14, an integrity indicator 15 and an airtight reservoir with a coloring liquid 16, and is made as a whole, and is covered over its entire length by a protective coating 17, which is made of a dielectric material.

 The integrity indicator 15, in various embodiments, can be implemented either in the form of an insulated optical fiber (not shown conventionally) or an electrically conductive cable with a metal wire that runs from one to the other end of the holding device along its entire length, with the contact of the integrity sensor 10 at the end the integrity sensor located in the holding device 2 interacts with the contact of the integrity sensor 10 located in the housing 1 of the locking device with a burglar alarm.

Hermetic reservoir with a coloring liquid 16, may be made of flexible material and is filled with a coloring liquid that is under pressure above atmospheric, and which is located along the entire length of the holding device 2.

 The locking mechanism 4 can be made in the form of a mechanical lock, which is unlocked with a key 4 with an integrated RFID tag 18 or in the form of an electromechanical lock, which is unlocked by issuing an appropriate command from a portable transceiver 19 and the RFID tag 18 is part of the portable transceiver 19 , and which can be performed in a single constructive solution.

 The locking mechanism 4 may include a mechanical or magnetically activated valve 5, when locked with a key or when a corresponding command is issued, the valve 5 is shifted towards the lock position. As used herein, the term “locking position” may refer to the position of the valve 5, in which it is partially or fully engaged with the element of the holding device 2 mating with the valve.

 The housing 1 may be a design made with a configuration that allows partially or fully accommodate, enclose or otherwise secure the holding device 2.

 Depending on the required level of protection, the holding device 2 may include several integrity indicators 15 and several hermetic reservoirs with coloring liquid 16.

 In various embodiments, the holding device 2 may include cords, ribbons, cords, chains, belts and other similar structural elements as the power element 14, each of which has continuous parts, and which are connected to each other by a structural element.

The length of the holding device 2 is practically unlimited, due to the fact that, as the power element 14 of the holding fixtures metal, metal or composite cable are used, which provide mechanical tensile strength and protection of the integrity indicator 15 and the hermetic reservoir with the dyeing liquid 16 from damage and destruction.

 In one embodiment, a cable is used as an integrity indicator 15, with a metal wire placed therein, which is used to supply power from one end of the holding device to the other.

 In another embodiment, an optical fiber is used as an integrity indicator 15, which eliminates the use of electricity in the integrity indicator, and opens up the possibility of using materials that do not require electrical insulation. When the holding device 2 is engaged with the housing 1, the ends of the optical fiber of the holding device are in contact with the contacts 10 in the housing 1 of the locking device, which are optical sensors, but a light signal is supplied to the optical fiber.

 In one embodiment, the holding device 2 can be configured to allow electrical conductivity by the holding device 2 itself and it can itself act as an integrity indicator. In this case, the protective coating 17 covers the entire surface of the holding device 2 with the exception of the end sections, which can be made not insulated and in contact with the contacts of the integrity sensor 10 located in the housing 1 of the locking device.

 The RFID tag 18 in various embodiments may be implemented using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), NFC (Near Field Communicftion), or other wireless RF communication protocols.

 In another embodiment, both passive transponders and active ones with an autonomous power source can be used as an RFID tag 18. When using a passive RFID tag, the reader includes a “pump” generator that irradiates the RFID tag and accumulates energy potential in it for the subsequent generation of identification signals.

 In another embodiment, remotely using radio commands from a portable transceiver device 19 (mobile phone, key fob), you can monitor and control the operation of the security alarm. At the same time, the alarm is turned on and off remotely.

 The light-emitting indicator 8 may be a light-emitting diode and can report the status of the security alarm, the level of charge of the power supply, the presence and level of signals from the identification radio frequency label by supplying the appropriate light signals, and is also used to give light alarms when the security alarm is activated.

 Thus, all the components of the considered locking device with alarm, indicated in figure 1-figure 4, are known and have proven themselves in practice. Therefore, the possibility of practical implementation of the invention is not in doubt.

The operation of the locking device with a burglar alarm is as follows. The locking device provides fastening and fixing of the vehicle or object to the post, to the static object or the supporting frame by means of the fact that the holding device passes through the structure of the vehicle or object, and their parts are continuously surrounded by it. After that, the holding device engages with the housing and is locked by a locking mechanism.

 In the initial position, when the housing is engaged with the holding device and locked by the locking mechanism, the protective device can prevent or prevent the attempt to separate the vehicle or object from the pillar, static object or support frame.

 When the holding fixture is inserted into the housing, when the complete key is inserted, the latch of the locking mechanism blocks the holding fixture in the housing of the device, which leads to the engagement of the holding fixture with the housing.

 When using an electromagnetic locking mechanism, when an appropriate command is sent from a portable transceiver device, the electromagnet biases the valve towards the locked position, which leads to the locking of the holding device in the device body and the holding device engaging the body.

 After coupling the holding device with the case, when the lock is closed, the contacts of the integrity sensor at the ends of the holding device are closed with the contacts inside the case and an electric or light signal passes through the integrity indicator, the locking device is armed, and indicator 8 lights up, for example, in red for a few seconds.

To disable the security mode, before disengaging the holding device from the housing of the locking device and removing the holding device from the vehicle or other object, it is necessary to pass identification and have an identification radio frequency tag, while the security alarm reader interacts with RFID tag by receiving an identification signal.

 Upon receipt by the reader or transceiver of the readout of the identification signal, the control unit recognizes the identification radio frequency tag and recognizes the identification signal of the user of the vehicle or object, and depending on the results of this identification, issues the appropriate command to turn off the alarm and disarm the alarm, or activate an alarm.

 If the electronic tag is recognized, indicator 8 lights up, for example, in green for several seconds. This shows that the user is identified and that the holding device can be unfastened from the device body, and when the key is inserted, the latch of the locking mechanism is unlocked, which leads to the release of the holding device from the locking device body.

 If the RFID tag has not been recognized even if there is no identification signal and for a period of time pre-set during programming, the control unit issues a corresponding command, by which an audible warning signal is issued, and the indicator light starts to glow, for example, in red for several seconds. This shows that the user is not identified and when the holding device is disengaged from the housing of the locking device, an alarm will be activated by turning on the audible siren and light-signal indicators.

In case of cutting or mechanical damage to the holding device, the signal passing through the integrity sensor and contacts is lost and the alarm is activated, sound and light alarms are turned on, and at the time of cutting, the coloring liquid is ejected from the hermetic reservoir with the coloring liquid inside the holding liquid devices, and which, due to the fact that it is under pressure above atmospheric, sprays liquid through the gap and paints the vehicle or object, and a person who unauthorized uses it with a bright liquid.

Industrial applicability.

The invention provides the creation of a locking device with a burglar alarm, capable of preventing, signaling and marking with a coloring liquid, and is based on the interaction of passive and active protection of a vehicle or object against unauthorized use (theft, theft, capture) with each other.

 Installation and operation of the invention does not require qualified personnel and is simple and reliable in operation. The use of this invention can minimize the number of additional measures for the protection of vehicles or objects, and reduce the number of cases of unauthorized use of them and other illegal actions.

 Thus, through the use of protective and security functions, the safety of using and owning a vehicle or other object is significantly increased, and the task can be solved - a reliable, simple and easy-to-use locking device with a burglar alarm has been created.
