Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-theft alarm technology for trucks, and in particular to an anti-theft alarm device for trucks, which is mainly used on the fuel tank of a truck. Background Technology
[0002] Freight vehicles are generally called trucks or lorries. They are vehicles mainly used for transporting goods, and sometimes they can also refer to vehicles that can tow other vehicles. They belong to the category of commercial vehicles.
[0003] Generally, trucks can be divided into heavy-duty and light-duty trucks based on their weight. Most trucks use diesel engines as their power source, but some light-duty trucks use gasoline, LPG, or natural gas. Some trucks have larger fuel tanks and multiple fuel tanks because they travel long distances.
[0004] For truck drivers, the fuel tank is the most important item on their truck. Some large trucks can hold 200 liters of fuel in a single tank, costing several thousand yuan each time. Because truck fuel tanks are usually partially attached to the sides, some criminals specialize in stealing fuel from these large trucks. They use homemade suction devices to forcibly open the fuel tank caps and siphon the fuel out. Due to the large size of trucks and the many blind spots, sometimes even the owner inside the truck cannot detect the fuel theft. While truck owners now add anti-theft locks or lock cylinders to the connection between the fuel tank and the cap, these are still easily pried open with tools for fuel theft. Furthermore, the simple structure of existing fuel tanks allows criminals to use sharp objects to puncture them and steal fuel.
[0005] Therefore, in this utility model patent application, the applicant has carefully researched a truck anti-theft alarm device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology and aims to provide a truck anti-theft alarm device that can promptly alert the driver when the fuel tank vibrates.

One end of capacitor C1 is connected to pin 8 of chip U11, and the other end of capacitor C1 is used to connect to the ANT1 terminal. The other end of capacitor C1 is grounded through inductor L2, and capacitor C4 is connected in parallel with inductor L2.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the spring vibration switch is connected to the signal encoding module via a sensitivity adjustment circuit.

[0064] The following explanation of the working principle will use a fuel tank as an example:
[0065] When the driver wants to rest, first attach the anti-theft sensor 10 to the inside of the fuel tank to avoid it being visible from a normal viewing angle; then carry the receiver 20 with him, and press the alarm activation button S2 on the receiver 20 to enter the alarm state.
[0066] When a thief touches the fuel tank, the spring-loaded vibration switch 11S1 is triggered.
[0067] On the one hand, the signal encoding module 12 transmits the abnormal signal to the radio frequency receiving module 21 through the radio frequency transmitting module 13. After receiving the abnormal information through the radio frequency receiving module 21, the signal decoding module 22 triggers an audible and visual alarm to wake up the driver through the buzzer 23 and the LED indicator module 24.
[0068] On the other hand, the signal encoding module 12 sends the abnormal signal to the main control module 14. The main control module 14 then transmits the signal to the cloud server 30 via the GPRS wireless communication module 15 through the mobile network. After the cloud server 30 identifies the driver's customer number, it sends the alarm information of that customer number to the driver's mobile terminal 40 (such as a mobile phone) through the mobile network. The driver can then learn about the corresponding alarm information by checking the information on the mobile phone.
[0069] The key design feature of this utility model is that it uses the cooperation of an anti-theft sensor and a receiver to enable the driver to receive an alarm message in a timely manner when the fuel tank vibrates. In particular, the output of the signal encoding module is split into two paths: one path is output to the receiver to improve the anti-theft security of the fuel tank, and the other path is output to a cloud server that is wirelessly connected to a mobile terminal. This allows the driver to receive the alarm message via mobile phone when the receiver cannot receive the alarm message, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the anti-theft alarm.
[0070] Secondly, by connecting the spring vibration switch and the first main control circuit through the sensitivity adjustment circuit, the sensitivity of the anti-theft detection can be adjusted, thereby reducing unnecessary abnormal detections and improving the driver's user experience.
[0071] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
