Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security fence of the kind including a tensioned wire connected to a detector for sensing movement of the wire.
  • a security fence and detector are described in United States Patent No. 3.634.638 and Dutch Patent Application No. 74.07588.
  • the detector disclosed in the prior art just mentioned reacts to sudden movement of the wire, but not to slow movements as for example those arising from temperature changes.
  • This has so far necessitated a complicated arrangement of the detector, which comprises a pin-shaped contact mounted within an annular contact.
  • the pin contact In mounting such a detector one must be careful that in the rest position the pin contact is substantially in the centre of the annular contact so that its sensitivity is equal in all directions. Otherwise the sensitivity of the switch in one direction will be much greater than in another direction so that minor disturbances which are not intended to be sensed will cause actuation of the alarm system.
  • Another disadvantage of this known detector is that its operation is based on the properties of a particular silicone paste, which forms the medium through which the movements of an element connected to the fencing wire are transmitted to a switch element, in such manner that sudden movements are transmitted but slow ones are not.
  • the properties of this paste depend upon temperature so that the detector is undesirably sensitive to weather (summer compared with winter) and time (day compared with night).
  • such detectors are relatively expensive.
  • a security fence including a tensioned wire connected to a detector for sensing movement of the wire, the detector comprising a movable element which sealingly separates two chambers in such a manner that any movement of the sealing element produces a change in volume of at least one of the chambers, which one chamber is connected to a pressure-sensitive switch actuator.
  • the detector comprises an air cylinder with a piston which constitutes the said sealing element and is connected to the said wire.
  • the switch actuator comprises a movable membrane dividing a housing into two compartments, each compartment being connected to atmosphere via a restricted aperture, said membrane carrying a movable contact of a switch.
  • the spacing between the switch contacts is adjustable, and that the size of the said restricted apertures is adjustable.
  • a fencing comprising a plurality of said tensioned wires extending substantially horizontally and each connected to a said detector, the corresponding chambers of a plurality of said detectors are preferably connected in parallel to a common switch actuator.
  • Figure 1 shows part of a security fence.
  • This fence comprises, inter alia, switch-carrying posts 1 and tensioned fencing wires 2. Ordinary posts may be placed between the switch-carrying posts 1.
  • the fencing wires may be of the type described in Dutch patent application No. 76.10679 and may be woven into a netting or be horizontally tensioned.
  • the fencing wires may alternatively be normal fencing wires such as for example barbed wire. In the illustrated embodiment, horizontally tensioned wires 2 are used.
  • FIG 2 shows a switch-carrying post 1 equipped with the elements necessary to detect sudden movements of the horizontally tensioned wires 2, but which are not sensitive to slow movements.
  • This post 1 comprises two sections 3 and 4, which fit together in a sealing manner. Moving away section 4 from section 3 will actuate the safety switch 5 will then sound an alarm. This means that it is not possible to sabotage the operation of the elements within the post without raising the alarm via the switch 5.
  • the horizontally tensioned wires 2 extend via apertures through the section 3 of the post 1.
  • the post 1 is provided with a number of detectors in the form of air cylinders 6 whose number equals the number of tensioned wires 2.
  • air cylinders 6 are commercially available, for example Martonair type M/6010-M/6020. These air cylinders are double- acting cylinders with a chamber at each side of the piston 7.
  • Each cylinder 6 is fixed to the section 3 of the post 1, and the rod 8 of the piston 7 is fixed to a respective wire 2.
  • the cylinders 6 have for example a bore diameter of 10 - 20 mm and a length of stroke of 50 mm.
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of how the cylinders 6 are connected with each other and with two air-pressure-sensitive switch actuators 9 and 10.
  • the cylinders 6 are connected in parallel by means of pipes 11.
  • Ports 12a, 12b and 13a, 13b are connected to the lower and upper actuators 9 and 10 respectively, via connections 12 and 13.
  • the actuators 9 and 10 which are available on the market, for example type DW 10 of Bircher, Shaffhausen, Switzerland, convert a low-pressure air signal into an electrical signal.
  • They are in open position with their switch contacts 14, 15 located at a small distance from each other.
  • the required control pressure can be adjusted by placing the contacts 14, 15 closer to or further away from each other and this can be done by adjusting the contact 15 which has the form of a control screw.
  • the contact 14 is supported by a membrane 16 which divides the switch into two compartments. Each compartment is provided with a small adjusting screw 17 which determines the size of a restricted aperture to atmosphere. The size of the restricted aperture can be changed by moving this adjusting screw 17, whose function will be clarified hereafter.
  • the operation of the illustrated system is as follows : When an intruder moves or cuts any of the wires 2 in order to enter the fenced area, the movement of the wire 2 shifts the rod 8 and the piston 7 connected to it in at least one direction. Assume that the piston 8 of the upper cylinder 6 in Figure 3 is moved from right to left. This movement compresses the air in the left-hand chamber of cylinder 6 and an air pulse is exerted on the membrane 16 of the switch 9 via the pipe 11, so that the switch 9 is closed, contacts 14 and 15 touching each other. By means of the adjusting screw 15 it is possible to render the switch 9 so sensitive that it functions at a control pressure of 2 mm water column (1 mm water column - 9,807 Pa).
  • This sensitivity allows the switch to react to very slight sudden movements of the piston 7 and the wire 2 connected to it.
  • the switch opens again since the air escapes through restricted aperture. In other words, to close the switch and thus to actuate the alarm an air pulse is necessary, caused by the movement of the piston by means of the wire.
  • the switch never stays for long in the closed or alarm position. After having actuated the alarm the switch automatically returns to its condition of rest and then immediately reacts again to a next sudden movement of the piston.
  • the sensitivity of the installation is great, but does not depend on the position of the piston. Starting from a cylinder with a length of stroke of 50 mm, if the piston when first secured to a certain wire 2 is substantially in the center of the cylinder, then the piston has over 20 mm of free stroke in both directions. If the wire 2 shows an elongation or shrinkage of 10 mm in a given direction, for example when retensioning a wire, and the piston is returned to the condition of rest, then such a transposition of the piston has no influence at all on the good operation or the sensitivity of the system. Any small sudden movement of the piston, for example of 3 mm, is immediately sensed since the piston still has a free stroke of over 10 mm in one direction and over 30 mm in the others. The sensitivity of the system is very great ; it has been found that the switch 9 or 10 may be closed simply by squeezing one of the pipes 11 suddenly.
  • the sensitivity of the system is easily adjustable by means of the regulating screws 17 and the adjusting screws 15.
  • the invention at least in its illustrated embodiment provides a security fence of particularly simple and inexpensive design and high reliability in operation, which moreover can be built up from commercially available standard elements.
