Description

BESCHREIBUNG DESCRIPTION
Vorrichtung zum Erfassen des Öffnungszustandes einer Tür, eines Fensters od.dgl.Device for detecting the opening state of a door, a window or the like.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Erfassen des Öffnungszustandes einer Tür, eines Fensters od. dgl .The present invention relates to a device for detecting the opening state of a door, a window or the like.
Derartige Vorrichtungen finden Verwendung im privaten oder gewerblichen Bereich, und zwar vor allem zu Zwecken des Objektschutzes bzw. der Einbruchsdetektion .Devices of this type are used in the private or commercial sector, especially for the purpose of object protection or intrusion detection.
Bislang sind zur Fenster- oder Türüberwachung zahlreiche Lösungen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt; hierzu gehören etwa an einer Fensterscheibe befestigbare Glasbruchsensoren od.dgl. Einheiten.To date, numerous solutions for monitoring windows or doors are known from the prior art; These include glass break sensors or the like that can be attached to a window pane. Units.
Allerdings weisen herkömmliche, bekannte Sicherheits- und Überwachungsvorrichtungen, die sich auch auf Türen und Fenster beziehen, Nachteile auf, und zwar sowohl im Hinblick auf die Art, Erfassbarkeit und Weiterverarbeitung des erzeugbaren Überwachungssignals, als auch betreffend hohen Aufwand bei Montage, Installation und Wartung. Insbesondere dieser zweite Aspekt wirkt sich hemmend auf einen universellen, flexiblen Einsatz von Tür- und Fenstersicherungssystemen aus, da, neben einer notwendigen (fachmännischen) Montage eines jeweiligen Sensors (z.B. eines Glasbruchdetektors) oftmals beträchtlicher Aufwand für die notwendige Verkabelung, Signal- als auch Versorgungsleitungen, notwendig ist. Entsprechend wirkt sich dies auf die Kostensituation und eine universelle Verfügbarkeit einer solchen Sicherungstechnologie aus.However, conventional, known security and monitoring devices, which also relate to doors and windows, have disadvantages, both with regard to the type, detectability and further processing of the monitoring signal which can be generated, and also with regard to the high outlay for assembly, installation and maintenance. This second aspect in particular has an inhibiting effect on the universal, flexible use of door and window security systems, since, in addition to the necessary (professional) installation of a respective sensor (e.g. a glass breakage detector), there is often considerable expenditure for the necessary cabling, signal and supply lines , necessary is. This has a corresponding effect on the cost situation and the universal availability of such security technology.
Da zudem existierende Systeme zur Tür- bzw. Fensterüberwachung meist individuell auf bestehende Fenster- bzw. Türsysteme konfiguriert und angepasst werden müssen, ist entweder eine -- aufwendige -- Einzelmontage notwendig, oder aber derartige Systeme werden gleich zusammen mit einer jeweiligen Tür bzw. einem Fenster als integrale Bestandteile entwickelt und dann gemeinsam ausgeliefert und montiert. Hieraus ergibt sich jedoch, dass insbesondere das Nachrüsten existierender Fenster- und Türanlagen äußerst umständlich und kostenträchtig ist.Since, in addition, existing systems for door and window monitoring are usually configured and adapted individually to existing window and door systems must be either a - complex - individual assembly, or such systems are developed together with a respective door or window as integral components and then delivered and assembled together. However, this means that retrofitting existing window and door systems is extremely cumbersome and costly.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung zum Erfassen des Öffnungszustandes einer Tür, eines Fensters od.dgl. Einheit zu schaffen, die sowohl im Hinblick auf flexible und zuverlässige Anwend- und Auswertbarkeit verbessert ist, als auch speziell das Nachrüsten bereits existierender Fenster und Türen mit einem zuverlässigen, einfach zu montierenden System ermöglicht .The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for detecting the opening state of a door, a window or the like. To create a unit that is both improved in terms of flexible and reliable usability and evaluation, and specifically enables the retrofitting of existing windows and doors with a reliable, easy-to-install system.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst; vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved by the device with the features of claim 1; advantageous developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird dabei der Effekt ausgenutzt, dass sich durch eine gezielte Positions- bzw. Bewegungserfassung eines zur Fenstermechanik gehörenden Sperrbolzens der jeweilige Öffnungszustand feststellen läßt; insoweit ist also ein solcher Sperrbolzen gleichermaßen mechanisches Wirkelement des Fensters oder der Tür, und Indikator, welcher zur Öffnungszustandsbestimmung im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung abgetastet und ausgewertet wird.In the context of the present invention, the effect is exploited that the respective opening state can be determined by a specific position or movement detection of a locking bolt belonging to the window mechanism; In this respect, such a locking pin is equally a mechanical active element of the window or the door, and an indicator which is scanned and evaluated for determining the opening state within the scope of the present invention.
Dabei ist es im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung besonders vorteilhaft, diese Abtastung mittels berührungsloser Sensoren, geeignet sind hier Reedkontakte, Magnetfeldsensoren oder andere, berührungslos und auch unter schwierigen Umgebungsbedingungen gut wirkende Einheiten, vorzunehmen: Nicht nur wird durch eine solche Lösung Verschleißproblemen vorgebeugt, auch spielen Probleme wie Verschmutzung, Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit o.a. -- insbesondere auch durch das weiterbildungsgemäß modulartige, mit einer langgestreckten, einstückigen Kunststoff-Gehäuseschale realisierte Gehäuse -- keine Rolle.It is particularly advantageous in the context of the present invention to carry out this scanning by means of non-contact sensors, reed contacts, magnetic field sensors or other units that work well without contact and even under difficult environmental conditions are suitable: not only is such a solution preventing wear problems, but also playing Problems such as contamination, penetration of moisture or the like - in particular also due to the module-like housing implemented with an elongated, one-piece plastic housing shell - do not matter.
Erfindungsgemäß ist zudem vorgesehen, dass das die berührungslos wirkende Sensoranordnung aufnehmende Gehäuse spannungsmäßig autark drahtlos mit der zugeordneten Basisstation kommuniziert. Hierdurch werden zwei weitere Vorteile erreicht: Zum einen erspart die Netzunabhängigkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung das spezielle Verlegen von Spannungsversorgungsleitungen (was sich insbesondere bei Nachrüstungen als positiv auswirkt, denn der dadurch erforderliche, zusätzliche Verdrahtungsaufwand kann vermieden werden) , und zusätzlich sorgt die drahtlose Signalübertragung dafür, dass Signalleitungen ebenfalls nicht verlegt werden müssen.According to the invention, it is also provided that the housing receiving the contactless sensor arrangement communicates with the associated base station in a self-sufficient, wireless manner. This achieves two further advantages: on the one hand, the fact that the device according to the invention is independent of the network saves the special laying of power supply lines (which has a positive effect particularly when retrofitting, because the additional wiring required thereby can be avoided), and in addition the wireless signal transmission ensures that that signal lines also do not have to be laid.
Damit eignet sich dann die vorliegende Erfindung in idealer Weise nicht nur zum Einsatz mit einem breitgefächerten Spektrum von Fenstern und Türen (in deren Profilen dann die Einheit geeignet eingepasst ist), sondern ein Schwerpunkt liegt auch im Nachrüsten von Sicherungssystemen bei bereits fertig montierten Türen und Fenstern, wofür nun erstmals ein preiswertes, wartungsarmes leicht zu installierendes und in der Montage deutlich vereinfachtes Überwachungssystem zur Verfügung steht.The present invention is thus ideally suited not only for use with a wide range of windows and doors (in whose profiles the unit is then suitably fitted), but also focuses on retrofitting security systems for doors and windows that have already been assembled , for which for the first time an inexpensive, low-maintenance, easy-to-install and significantly simplified monitoring system is available.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es dabei, das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse dem feststehenden Rahmen einer Tür oder eines Fensters zuzuordnen, wobei dann der Sperrbolzen des zugeordneten Fensterflügels geeignet in seiner Verschiebung bzw. seiner Position überwacht wird und dann aus dieser Position bzw. Positionsverschiebung auf einen Öffnungszustand des Fensters oder der Tür rückgeschlossen werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck hat es sich als besonders bevorzugt herausgestellt, eine Mehrzahl von Einzelsensoren, beabstandet um einen vorbestimmten Abstand entlang eines solchen Verschiebeweges des Sperrbolzens, vorzusehen, wobei damit dann auf besonders einfache Weise eine erste und zweite Position detektiert werden kann; ein (aus dem Bereich der Außenfläche des Gehäuses verschwenkter) Öffnungszustand eines Fensterflügels (und damit des Sperrbolzens) würde dann mangels eines Detektionssignals einfach als Öffnungszustand erfasst werden können.It is particularly preferred to assign the housing according to the invention to the fixed frame of a door or a window, in which case the locking bolt of the assigned window sash is suitably monitored in terms of its displacement or its position and then from this position or positional shift to an open state of the window or the door can be closed. For this purpose, it has proven to be particularly preferred to provide a plurality of individual sensors, spaced apart by a predetermined distance along such a displacement path of the locking bolt, in which case a first and second position can then be detected in a particularly simple manner; an opening state (pivoted out of the area of the outer surface of the housing) of a window sash (and thus the locking bolt) would then simply be able to be detected as the opening state in the absence of a detection signal.
Um die vorliegende Erfindung möglichst einfach zu realisieren, bieten sich für die Einzelsensoren Sensorelemente an, die auf Reedbasis, Magnetfeldbasis od.dgl. arbeiten, da hier minimaler Stromverbrauch mit hoher Kontaktgüte, zuverlässigem Schaltverhalten und Unempfindlichkeit gegen Witterungseinflüsse und Feuchtigkeit, kombiniert werden können.In order to implement the present invention as simply as possible, sensor elements that are based on reed, magnetic field or the like are available for the individual sensors. work because here minimal power consumption can be combined with high contact quality, reliable switching behavior and insensitivity to weather and moisture.
In mechanisch besonders eleganter Weise sieht die vorliegende Erfindung gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung vor, dass ein (bevorzugt mit einer einstückigen, langgestreckten Gehäuseschale) realisiertes Gehäuse sämtliche elektronischen und Sensorik-Bauelemente aufnimmt, so dass hier nicht nur ein optimaler Verschmutzungs- und Feuchtigkeitsschutz erreicht werden kann, sondern zudem durch einfaches Aufsetzen und Aufschrauben (weiter bevorzugt: Aufschnappen bzw. Klipsen) einer solchen Einheit die betriebsfertige Montage in minimaler Zeit und auch von Nichtfachleuten durchgeführt werden kann.In a mechanically particularly elegant manner, the present invention provides, in accordance with a preferred development, that a housing (preferably with a one-piece, elongated housing shell) accommodates all electronic and sensor components, so that not only optimal contamination and moisture protection can be achieved here , but also by simply attaching and screwing (more preferred: snapping or clipping) such a unit, the ready-to-use assembly can be carried out in a minimum of time and also by non-experts.
Gemäß einer weiteren, bevorzugten Weiterbildung dieses Aspektes der Erfindung ist zudem vorgesehen, die universelle Einset zbarkeit erfindungsgemäßer Vorrichtungen für verschiedene Fenster- und Türprofile dadurch weiter zu erhöhen, dass das Gehäuse nicht mehr unmittelbar auf dem unterliegenden ersten Rahmenabschnitt festliegt, sondern unter Zwischenschaltung eines -- rahmenspezifisch gewählten oder bestimmbaren — Adapterstückes. Dieses wird dann, j e nach Rahmentyp, geeignet befestigt und bietet über einen Schnappmechanismus dann die Möglichkeit, das eigentliche Sensor- und Elektronikgehäuse lösbar und gleichwohl fest aufzubringen.According to a further preferred development of this aspect of the invention, provision is also made to further increase the universal applicability of devices according to the invention for various window and door profiles in that the housing is no longer fixed directly on the underlying first frame section, but with the interposition of a - frame-specifically selected or determinable - adapter piece. This is then, depending on the frame type, suitably fastened and then offers a snap mechanism that enables the actual sensor and electronics housing to be detachably and nevertheless firmly attached.
In besonders geeigneter Weise macht die vorliegende Erfindung Gebrauch von einem impuls- bzw. paketbasierten Funkübertragungsprotokoll, wie es in der deutschen Patentanmeldung 100 17 182.6 der Anmelderin beschrieben ist und hinsichtlich der Erzeugung, Übertragung und Auswertung des Öffnungszustandssignals bzw. der Öffnungszustandsinformation als vollumfänglich in die vorliegende Anmeldung und als zur Erfindung gehörig einbezogen gelten soll. Durch diese Weiterbildung ist vorteilhaft erreichbar, dass mit technologisch äußerst einfacher Realisierung und bei minimiertem Stromverbrauch (wichtig gerade bei netzfreier Stromversorgung) eine hochgradig sichere und zuverlässige Anbindung einer speziellen Vorrichtung an die Basisstation erreicht werden kann, wobei Probleme in der Funkübertragung, Probleme in der Stromversorgung od.dgl. zuverlässig und kurzfristig erfasst werden, so dass vor dem Hintergrund des Einsatzgebietes "Überwachungs- und Sicherheitstechnik" hier eine optimale Kombination zwischen praktischer Handhabbarkeit und hoher Übertragungs- und Überwachungssicherheit gefunden werden konnte.In a particularly suitable manner, the present invention makes use of a pulse-based or packet-based radio transmission protocol, as described in the applicant's German patent application 100 17 182.6 and with regard to the generation, transmission and evaluation of the opening status signal or the opening status information as fully in the present Registration and should be considered as part of the invention. This further development makes it possible advantageously to achieve that with technologically extremely simple implementation and with minimized power consumption (particularly important in the case of a mains-free power supply), a highly secure and reliable connection of a special device to the base station can be achieved, with problems in radio transmission, problems in the power supply or the like. can be recorded reliably and at short notice, so that against the background of the field of application "monitoring and security technology" an optimal combination between practical handling and high transmission and monitoring security could be found.
Im Ergebnis wird damit durch die vorliegende Erfindung eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, die Integration einer Tür- und Fensterüberwachung in bestehende oder geplante Sicherungssysteme auf einfache, flexible und letztendlich auch kostengünstige Weise zu erreichen, so dass zu erwarten ist, dass durch die vorliegende Erfindung dem Objektschutz völlig neue Anwendungsgebiete erschlossen werden können. Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnungen; diese zeigen in:As a result, the present invention creates a possibility of achieving the integration of door and window monitoring into existing or planned security systems in a simple, flexible and ultimately also cost-effective manner, so that it can be expected that the object protection will be completely through the present invention new areas of application can be opened up. Further advantages, features and details of the invention emerge from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and with reference to the drawings; these show in:

Fig. 1 verdeutlicht ein bevorzugt als Kunststoff- Spritzgießteil gebildetes, langgestrecktes Gehäuse 10 einer typischen Länge von ca. 160 mm, welches, wie insbesondere aus dem Längsschnitt der Fig. 2 deutlich wird, einen mit einem abnehmbaren Deckel 12 verschließbaren Batteriekastenabschnitt 14, einen Elektronik- Gehäuseabschnitt 16 sowie einen zwischen den Gehäuseabschnitten 14, 16 gelegenen, abgeflachten Sensorgehäuseabschnitt 18 aufweist und beidseitig in einen abgeflachten, mit einer Bohrung für eine Befestigungsschraube versehenen Montageflansch 20 mündet.FIG. 8: an enlarged detail of detail VIII in FIG. 6. 1 illustrates an elongated housing 10, which is preferably formed as a plastic injection-molded part and has a typical length of approximately 160 mm, which, as is particularly clear from the longitudinal section in FIG - Housing section 16 and a flattened sensor housing section 18 located between the housing sections 14, 16 and opens on both sides into a flattened mounting flange 20 provided with a bore for a fastening screw.
Es entsteht so eine relativ langgestreckte, flache Gehäuseanordnung, die, vgl. Fig. 3, durch eine geeignete Fasierung, eine im Querschnitt gerundete Kontur besitzt.The result is a relatively elongated, flat housing arrangement which, cf. Fig. 3, by a suitable bevel, has a rounded contour in cross section.
Oberhalb des Sensorgehäuseabschnittes 18 bildet das Gehäuse 10 einen planen Flächenbereich 22 aus, oberhalb dessen ein Sperrbolzen 24 eines Fenster- oder Türflügels (vgl. Fig. 5 bis Fig. 8) mittels eines dem Fenster zugeordneten Bedienbzw. Sperrhebels 26 bewegbar ist und, je nach Position oberhalb des Flächenbereiches 22, einen jeweiligen Öffnungszustand des Fensters oder der Tür markiert.Above the sensor housing section 18, the housing 10 forms a flat surface area 22, above which a locking bolt 24 of a window or door leaf (cf. FIGS. 5 to 8) by means of an operating or. Locking lever 26 is movable and, depending on the position above the surface area 22, marks a respective opening state of the window or the door.
Genauer gesagt ist, wie aus den Fig. 2 und 4 erkennbar ist, an vorbestimmten Positionen A, B, C im Sensorgehäuseabschnitt 18 ein als Reed-Kontakt realisiertes Sensorelement 28 plaziert, wobei im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel lediglich die beiden äußeren Positionen B, C mit Sensorelementen 28 bestückt sind.More precisely, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 4, a sensor element 28 realized as a reed contact is placed at predetermined positions A, B, C in the sensor housing section 18, in the present exemplary embodiment only the two outer positions B, C with sensor elements 28 are equipped.
Diese Sensorelemente reagieren berührungslos auf den im Betriebszustand oberhalb des Flächenbereiches 22 bewegbaren Sperrbolzen 24 und ändern elektrisch auswertbare Sensorparameter insbesondere dann, wenn der Sperrbolzen 24, durch die Gehäusefläche 22 hindurch, einem jeweiligen Sensorelement 28 gegenübersteht. Eine im Gehäuseabschnitt 16 aufgenommene, geeignet mit einer Verstärker- und Äuswertlogik versehene Auswertelektronik wertet das entsprechende Sensorsignal aus und stellt fest, ob sich der Sperrbolzen oberhalb eines der Sensorelemente 28 befindet, und gibt dann ein entsprechendes Positionssignal an eine ebenfalls im Gehäuseabschnitt 16 aufgenommene Funkelektronik weiter, die drahtlos und gemäß der in der deutschen Patentanmeldung 100 17 182.6 der Anmelderin beschriebenen Technologie (insbesondere Realisierung und verwendetes Protokoll sollen als zur vorliegenden Offenbarung gehören) Positionsinformationen an eine in den Figuren nicht gezeigte Basisstation über eine Antenne 30 abstrahlt .These sensor elements react in a contactless manner to the locking bolt 24 which can be moved above the surface area 22 in the operating state and change electrically evaluable sensor parameters, in particular when the locking bolt 24 faces a respective sensor element 28 through the housing surface 22. One in the housing section 16 recorded, suitably provided with an amplifier and Ausauswertlogik evaluation electronics evaluates the corresponding sensor signal and determines whether the locking pin is above one of the sensor elements 28, and then passes a corresponding position signal to a radio electronics also recorded in the housing section 16, the wireless and in accordance with the technology described in the applicant's German patent application 100 17 182.6 (in particular the implementation and the protocol used should form part of the present disclosure) radiates position information to a base station (not shown in the figures) via an antenna 30.
Auf die gezeigte Weise läßt sich eine effektive Gehäusehöhe realisieren, die im Bereich von ca. 10 mm liegt (bei einer Gehäusebreite im Bereich von ca. 20 mm), so dass die in der Ausführungsform gezeigte Anordnung problemlos in bestehende Fenster- oder Türrahmenprofile einpassbar ist, wie dies schematisch in den Figuren 5 bis 8 gezeigt ist:In the manner shown, an effective housing height can be realized which is in the range of approx. 10 mm (with a housing width in the range of approx. 20 mm), so that the arrangement shown in the embodiment can be easily fitted into existing window or door frame profiles , as shown schematically in Figures 5 to 8:
So verdeutlicht die Fig. 5, wie eine Anordnung gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4 in einen unteren Fensterrahmenbereich eingepasst ist, wobei die zugehörige Fig. 7 schematisch das Gehäuse 10 sowie den Sperrbolzen 24 des zugehörigen Fensterflügels 32 zeigt (in der Fig. 7 in einer Mittenposition) und die Fig. 6 zeigt die Anordnung gemäß Fig. 5, jedoch bei geöffnetem Fensterflügel, so dass sich hier der Sperrbolzen 24 aus dem Flächenbereich 22 herausbewegt hat (vgl. Fig. 8).5 illustrates how an arrangement according to FIGS. 1 to 4 is fitted into a lower window frame area, the associated FIG. 7 schematically showing the housing 10 and the locking bolt 24 of the associated window sash 32 (in FIG. 7 in a central position) and FIG. 6 shows the arrangement according to FIG. 5, but with the window sash open, so that here the locking bolt 24 has moved out of the surface area 22 (cf. FIG. 8).
Während die in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigte Ausführungsform in besonders einfacher Weise durch die Montageflansche und einfaches Verschrauben an einem unterliegenden (bevorzugt festen) Rahmenabschnitt 2u befestigen ist, ohne dass es hier weiterer Verlegearbeiten für Versorgungs- oder Signalkabel bedarf) , deutet die leicht variierte Seitenansicht der Fig. 4 an, dass insbesondere das Gehäuse 10 auch mittels einer Schnappverbindung mit einer zwischen dem eigentlichen Fensterrahmen und dem Gehäuse 10 liegenden Adaptereinheit flexibel, typspezifisch und lösbar in einer Fenster- bzw. Türeinheit befestigt werden kann.While the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be fastened in a particularly simple manner by means of the mounting flanges and simple screwing to an underlying (preferably fixed) frame section 2u, without further laying work for supply or signal cables being necessary, this indicates easily varied side view of FIG. 4 that in particular the housing 10 can also be fastened flexibly, type-specifically and detachably in a window or door unit by means of a snap connection with an adapter unit located between the actual window frame and the housing 10.
Auf die beschriebene Weise läßt sich somit in kürzester Zeit, mit geringstem Montageaufwand und bei größtmöglicher Flexibilität und Anpassbarkeit an verschiedene Profil- und Rahmenbedingungen ein Uberwachungs- bzw. Sicherheitssystem für Türen und Fenster realisieren, welches größtmögliche Unempfindlichkeit gegen Verschmutzung und Störung mit hoher Betriebssicherheit, komfortabler Überwachung und einfachen Wartungseigenschaften verbindet. In the manner described, a monitoring or security system for doors and windows can be realized in the shortest time, with the least assembly effort and with the greatest possible flexibility and adaptability to different profile and framework conditions, which is as insensitive to contamination and malfunction with high operational safety, more convenient Monitoring and simple maintenance properties combines.
