Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to an anti-theft component, anti-theft protection device, and vehicle for protecting alarms. Background Technology

[0002] Car alarm systems are multifunctional products that not only serve as alarms but also remotely control the trunk, doors, windows, engine, and lock / start. When an alarm is triggered (e.g., unauthorized starting, door vibration, system tampering), the system immediately dials the owner's pre-set alarm number (mobile or landline). It also provides audible and visual warnings and cuts off the electrical / fuel lines, preventing the car from starting until the alarm is deactivated. If the owner is unable to escape, pressing a hidden button will immediately dial the owner's pre-set emergency number. The receiving phone can then remotely control the vehicle to stop, listen in, and communicate via voice commands. If the owner is hijacked but can escape the vehicle, they can use any phone to access the system with a password to remotely control the vehicle to stop, listen in, and communicate via voice commands.

[0003] Most existing intelligent multi-point anti-theft alarms for cars are installed in designated locations on the vehicle. Once the anti-theft device is destroyed, the alarm will not function and will not be adequately protected.

[0004] Given the shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need to research an anti-theft component, anti-theft protection device, and vehicle for protecting alarms in order to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an anti-theft component, anti-theft protection device, and vehicle for protecting alarms. By covering the sound-emitting part of the alarm with a cover, this invention prevents it from being silenced by foam attack. Furthermore, the cover has a sound-emitting hole, allowing the alarm sound to be transmitted through the hole, ensuring better sound transmission to the outside of the vehicle. The alarm is accommodated by a formed receiving space, and the mounting part is fixedly connected to the surface to be mounted, effectively extending the attack time and ensuring better transmission of the alarm sound to the outside of the vehicle, maintaining the alarm's decibel level.

[0006] This invention discloses an anti-theft component for protecting an alarm, comprising a positioning part, a covering part, and at least one mounting part;

[0007] Both the mounting part and the positioning part are fixedly connected to the covering part to form a receiving space for accommodating the alarm.

[0008] The mounting part is used to be fixedly connected to the surface to be installed, and the covering part is used to cover the sound-emitting part of the alarm; the covering part is provided with at least one sound-emitting hole so that the sound emitted by the alarm can be transmitted from the sound-emitting hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning part includes a connecting plate and a positioning plate. One end of the connecting plate is connected to the covering part, and the other end of the connecting plate is connected to the positioning plate. The connecting plate and the positioning plate form an L-shape after being connected.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning plate is provided with a positioning hole and a first mounting hole. The positioning hole can cooperate with the positioning component of the alarm, and the first mounting hole is used to connect with the mounting component of the vehicle alarm.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the sound-emitting hole ranges from 4mm to 8mm.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two mounting parts, which are arranged opposite to each other, and each mounting part is provided with a second mounting hole. A bolt is provided in the second mounting hole, and the mounting part is fixedly connected to the surface to be mounted by the bolt.

[0013] In another aspect, the present invention also protects an anti-theft protection device, including a vehicle alarm and an anti-theft component for protecting the alarm as described above;

[0014] The alarm includes a sound-emitting part, a positioning part, and a mounting part;

[0015] The positioning element is disposed in the positioning hole, and the mounting element is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole;

[0016] The covering part covers the sound-emitting part, and a gap is provided between the sound-emitting part and the covering part so that the sound emitted by the sound-emitting part can be transmitted from the sound-emitting hole.

[0017] Furthermore, the alarm also includes a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other;

[0018] The sound-emitting part is disposed on the first surface, and the positioning member and the mounting member are both disposed on the second surface.

[0019] Furthermore, the covering part is also provided with a groove, which is disposed opposite to the sound-emitting part and is recessed toward the sound-emitting part.

[0020] Furthermore, the sound-emitting holes are spaced apart around the groove.

[0021] The present invention also protects a vehicle, including a vehicle fender and an anti-theft protection device as described above;

[0022] The anti-theft protection device is fixedly installed on the vehicle fender.

[0023] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. This invention, by providing a cover portion to cover the sound-emitting part of the alarm, can prevent it from being silenced by foam attack, and the cover portion is provided with a sound-emitting hole, so that the sound emitted by the alarm can be transmitted from the sound-emitting hole, ensuring that the sound of the alarm is better transmitted to the outside of the vehicle; by forming a receiving space to accommodate the alarm and fixing the mounting part to the surface to be installed, this effectively extends the attack time, so that the alarm sound can be better transmitted to the outside of the vehicle, ensuring the decibel level of the alarm.

[0025] 2. This invention places the anti-theft protection device on the vehicle fender, reducing the waterproof requirements of the alarm and thus reducing the cost of the alarm. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0043] Existing technologies have the following drawbacks: Most existing intelligent multi-point anti-theft alarms for cars are installed in designated locations within the vehicle. Once the anti-theft device is compromised, the alarm ceases to function, offering insufficient protection. Furthermore, vehicles entering the UK market must meet the NVSA Group Rating Security Levels, which directly impact insurance premiums and serve as a crucial factor for consumers, thus indirectly affecting sales. The alarm device is a critical component of the anti-theft rating. NVSA requires vehicles to have an independent sound source, an alarm that does not share a circuit with the vehicle's horn, and a self-powered alarm system (BBS). The BBS must simultaneously meet the following two requirements: the alarm location must be determined before testing, and an attack test must be conducted on the BBS; the BBS must not be silenced within one minute; the BBS must be installed on the entire vehicle, and the sound level must be ≥85 dBA (1m from the vehicle, 0.5m from the ground). Since the BBS is installed inside the passenger compartment, the sound level detected outside the vehicle is difficult to reach 85 dBA due to the obstruction of the interior and body panels. However, if installed outside the passenger compartment, thieves can easily use physical or electrical attacks to silence the BBS within 60 seconds. Currently, the most common BBS installations both domestically and internationally are inside the engine compartment, under the ventilation cover. Installation inside the engine compartment requires that the engine hood should not be easily opened within 60 seconds when the vehicle is locked, and the BBS itself must have a sufficiently high decibel level to meet NVSA requirements. Installation under the ventilation cover increases the water level in the drainage channels, requiring a higher waterproof rating for the BBS and increasing costs.

[0044] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cover portion that covers the sound-emitting part of the alarm, preventing it from being silenced by foam impact. The cover portion also features a sound-emitting hole, allowing the alarm sound to be transmitted effectively to the outside of the vehicle. Furthermore, the invention utilizes a formed receiving space to accommodate the alarm and securely connects the mounting part to the surface to be installed, effectively extending the attack time and ensuring better sound transmission to the outside of the vehicle, maintaining the alarm's decibel level. Finally, by placing the anti-theft protection device on the vehicle fender, the waterproofing requirements of the alarm are reduced, thereby lowering the cost of the alarm.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] See appendix Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides an anti-theft component for protecting an alarm, including a positioning part 1, a covering part 2, and at least one mounting part 3;

[0047] The mounting part 3 and the positioning part 1 are both fixedly connected to the covering part 2 to form a receiving space for accommodating the alarm 4;

[0048] The mounting part 3 is used to fix it to the surface to be installed, and the covering part 2 is used to cover the sound-emitting part 41 of the alarm 4; the covering part 2 is provided with at least one sound-emitting hole 21 so that the sound emitted by the alarm 4 can be transmitted from the sound-emitting hole 21.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, by providing a covering part 2 to cover the sound-emitting part 41 of the alarm 4, it is possible to prevent it from being silenced by foam attack. Furthermore, the covering part 2 is provided with a sound-emitting hole 21, so that the sound emitted by the alarm 4 can be transmitted from the sound-emitting hole 21, ensuring that the sound of the alarm 4 is better transmitted to the outside of the vehicle. The alarm 4 is accommodated by the formed receiving space, and the mounting part 3 is fixedly connected to the surface to be installed. This effectively extends the attack time, allowing the alarm sound to be better transmitted to the outside of the vehicle, and ensuring the sound level of the alarm.

[0050] In some possible embodiments, the positioning part 1 includes a connecting plate 11 and a positioning plate 12. One end of the connecting plate 11 is connected to the covering part 2, and the other end of the connecting plate 11 is connected to the positioning plate 12. The connecting plate 11 and the positioning plate 12 are connected to form an L-shape to ensure that the positioning part 1 and the mounting part 3 can form a receiving space around the covering part 2 to accommodate the alarm 4 and provide an installation position for the alarm 4.

[0051] Specifically, the anti-theft component has a U-shaped structure, and the positioning part 1, the covering part 2, and the mounting part 3 are all sheet metal surfaces. The sheet metal material is high-strength steel, which provides maximum protection for the alarm 4.

[0052] In some possible embodiments, the positioning plate 12 is provided with a positioning hole 121 and a first mounting hole 122. The positioning hole 121 can cooperate with the positioning member 42 of the alarm 4, and the first mounting hole 122 is used to connect with the mounting member 43 of the vehicle alarm 4.

[0053] Preferably, the diameter of the sound-emitting hole 21 is in the range of 4mm-8mm.

[0054] In this embodiment, the diameter of the sound-emitting hole 21 is 4mm. This ensures that the sound emitted by the alarm 4 can be better transmitted outside the vehicle and that the sound level is high enough for others to hear, thereby promptly stopping any behavior that damages the anti-theft protection device. It avoids the situation where the diameter is too small, which would hinder sound propagation, or the diameter is too large, which would allow thieves to attack the sound-emitting part 41 of the alarm 4 through the sound-emitting hole.

[0055] In some possible embodiments, there are two mounting parts 3, which are arranged opposite to each other. Each mounting part 3 has a second mounting hole, and a bolt 32 is installed in the second mounting hole. The mounting part 3 is fixedly connected to the surface to be installed by the bolt 32. The connection between the vehicle body and the surface to be installed by the bolt 32 increases the difficulty of disassembly and prolongs the attack time, making it impossible for the alarm 4 to be silenced within 60 seconds, thus meeting the anti-theft evaluation requirements of the UK market for new cars.

[0056] In another aspect, the present invention also protects an anti-theft protection device, including a vehicle alarm 4 and an anti-theft component for protecting the alarm as described above;

[0057] The alarm 4 includes a sound-emitting part 41, a positioning part 42, and a mounting part 43;

[0058] The positioning element 42 is disposed in the positioning hole 121, and the mounting element 43 is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole 122;

[0059] The covering part 2 covers the sound-emitting part 41, and a gap is provided between the sound-emitting part 41 and the covering part 2 so that the sound emitted by the sound-emitting part 41 can be transmitted from the sound-emitting hole 21.

[0060] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the anti-theft protection device uses the anti-theft component to fix and protect the alarm 4, which can effectively extend the attack time, allow the alarm sound to be better transmitted to the outside of the vehicle, and ensure the sound level of the alarm.

[0061] It should also be noted that by using the anti-theft components to protect the alarm 4 and placing the anti-theft protection device outside the carriage, the requirements for the attack performance of the engine cover are reduced to a certain extent, and the required sound decibel level of the alarm 4 itself is also reduced.

[0062] Specifically, the positioning plate 12 is disposed opposite to the covering part 2, so that the second surface 46 can fit against the positioning plate 12 and be fixed to the positioning plate 12 by the positioning member 42, thereby ensuring that the alarm 4 is stably fixed in the accommodating space when it is working.

[0063] In some possible embodiments, the alarm 4 further includes a first surface 45 and a second surface 46 disposed opposite to each other;

[0064] The sound-emitting part 41 is disposed on the first surface 45, and the positioning member 42 and the mounting member 43 are both disposed on the second surface 46.

[0065] Preferably, the covering part 2 is further provided with a groove 22, the groove 22 is disposed opposite to the sound-emitting part 41, and the groove 22 is recessed toward the sound-emitting part 41; the groove 22 is positioned in conjunction with the positioning hole 121, specifically, the groove 22 is positioned with the sound-emitting part 41, and then the positioning member 42 is positioned with the positioning hole 121, which ensures the accuracy of positioning and improves the positioning speed.

[0066] Specifically, a wire harness connector is also provided on the first surface 45 of the alarm 4; a third mounting hole 23 is also provided on the cover 2, the third mounting hole 23 is disposed opposite to the wire harness connector 44 of the alarm 4, so that the wire harness connector 44 can pass through the third mounting hole 23, or ensure that the wire harness can pass through the third mounting hole 23 and connect to the wire harness connector 44.

[0067] In some possible embodiments, the sound-emitting holes 21 are spaced around the grooves 22 to ensure that the sound emitted by the alarm 4 can be better transmitted outside the vehicle and to ensure that the sound level is high enough for others to hear, thereby promptly stopping any behavior that could damage the anti-theft protection device.

[0068] In this embodiment, a gap is provided between the sound-emitting part 41 and the covering part 2, and the gap ranges from 4mm to 10mm.

[0069] In this embodiment, the gap between the sound-emitting part 41 and the covering part 2 is 8mm. This ensures that the alarm 4 can be activated normally, and also avoids the risk of the sound-emitting part 41 being attacked if the gap is too large.

[0070] The present invention also protects a vehicle, including a vehicle fender and an anti-theft protection device as described above;

[0071] The anti-theft protection device is fixedly installed on the vehicle fender.

[0072] The removal process after the anti-theft protection device is installed is as follows: First, remove the vehicle wheel trim; second, remove the mudguard (the mudguard is fixed by 9 self-tapping screws and 6 clips); third, pull out the mudguard and reach into the vehicle fender; fourth, remove the two bolts 32; fifth, remove the anti-theft protection device; remove the anti-theft component used to protect the alarm from the alarm 4; sixth, destroy the generator part 41 of the alarm 4 to silence it, thus completing the removal.

[0073] Specifically, placing the anti-theft protection device on the vehicle fender reduces the waterproof requirements of the alarm 4, thereby reducing the cost of the alarm 4; and placing the anti-theft protection device on the vehicle fender increases the possibilities of the alarm 4's placement location, making the installation location of the anti-theft protection device no longer singular.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] See appendix Figures 6-7 An anti-theft device for protecting an alarm is described. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the anti-theft device for protecting the alarm is a housing with an open end, and the interior of the housing is a receiving space; and in this embodiment, the positioning part 1 is not connected to the alarm 4, but is connected to the vehicle body.

[0076] Specifically, there are two mounting parts 3 and two positioning parts 1. The mounting parts 3 and positioning parts 1 surround the covering part 2 to form a receiving space, and the mounting parts 3 and positioning parts 1 are spaced apart.

[0077] Example 3

[0079] Specifically, there are two mounting parts 3 and two positioning parts 1. The mounting parts 3 and positioning parts 1 surround the covering part 2 to form a receiving space, and the mounting parts 3 and positioning parts 1 are spaced apart.

[0080] Example 4

[0081] See appendix Figures 10-12 An anti-theft device for protecting an alarm is described. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the anti-theft device for protecting the alarm includes a cover and a housing with an opening at one end. After the cover is connected to the housing, a receiving space is formed. In this embodiment, the positioning part 1 is not connected to the alarm 4, and the cover is fixedly connected to the alarm 4.

[0082] Specifically, there are two mounting parts 3 and two positioning parts 1. The mounting parts 3 and positioning parts 1 surround the covering part 2 to form a shell, and the mounting parts 3 and positioning parts 1 are spaced apart.

[0083] Specifically, the cover is provided with a positioning hole 121 and a first mounting hole 122. The positioning hole 121 is used to position with the positioning component 42 of the vehicle alarm 4, and the first mounting hole 122 is used to connect with the mounting component 43 of the vehicle alarm 4.
