Универсальное противоугонное устройство для автомобилей

Номер: RU0000183696U1
Автор: Олег Сергеевич Заболотский
Принадлежит: Олег Сергеевич Заболотский

Полезная модель относится к области эксплуатации автотранспортной техники, в частности предполагает использование в целях предотвращения несанкционированного использования автомобилей. Технической задачей, на решение которой направлена заявляемая конструкция, является повышение надёжности и долговечности устройства, а также расширение арсенала противоугонных устройств. Указанная задача решается тем, что конструкция универсального противоугонного устройства для автомобилей, содержащая корпус, направляющую, перемещающуюся вдоль корпуса со смонтированными в ней в единой кинематической связи толкателем и блокируемым штырем, означенная направляющая выполнена из высокопрочного полимерного материала и заключена в герметичном корпусе, который также изготовлен из высокопрочного полимерного материала. Также имеется вращающаяся вокруг оси переключения передач лапка для крепления рычага переключения передач с возможностью фиксации её положения относительно скобы, снабженная антифрикционной втулкой. Долговечность и безотказность работы устройства обоснована использованием в его конструкции сочетания материалов металл-полимер и полимер-полимер в деталях пар трения. Предлагаемая конструкция, в любом из вариантов монтажа в автомобиль, устанавливается в скрытом, невидимом ни снаружи, ни из салона месте. При попытке несанкционированного использования устройство предотвращает нормальное функционирование приводов и тяг в автомобиле, тем самым лишая злоумышленника возможности эксплуатировать автомобиль.

Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting and responding to a potential theft of a display device and/or vehicle diagnostic device in a modular vehicle diagnostic system. Display devices and/or vehicle diagnostic devices may monitor a status of a wireless communications link between them and, responsive to detecting a break in the link, execute one or more anti-theft responses. Furthermore, a display device may maintain a whitelist and/or be in communications with an authentication and anti-theft server, and may determine whether to execute an anti-theft response and/or accept a connection request from a new vehicle diagnostic device based on the whitelist contents and/or based on a response from the server. Anti-theft responses may include sounding an alarm, ceasing function and/or locking up, reporting a potential theft, transmitting a location of the potentially stolen device, or other responses.

Motor-Driven Throttle Valve Device with Inductive Throttle Sensor and Inductive Throttle Sensor for Detecting Rotation Angle of Throttle Shaft of Motor-Driven Throttle Valve Device

In a situation where a conventional inductive throttle sensor is used with a motor-driven throttle valve device to detect the rotation angle of a throttle shaft, plural sensor connection conductor sections for connecting a connector terminal to a circuit board terminal section are formed on the cover on one lateral surface side of a circuit board in the long-axis direction. This increases the dimension of the cover in the short-axis direction (the dimension in the direction of air flow in an intake path). Consequently, it is difficult to install the motor-driven throttle valve device and inductive throttle sensor in a narrow engine room. This problem is addressed by using a separate member to achieve electrical conduction between a stator circuit board and a conductor routed inside the cover installed over the stator circuit board in a concentrated manner on one side of the circuit board. The problem is also addressed by disposing plural electrical conduction spots in a decentralized manner and away from a protrusion provided to limit the amount of axial movement of a gear.

A vehicle has a security and anti-theft system that senses movement of the vehicle in a forward or backward direction when the vehicle is in a locked state, such as by detecting wheel rotation. Upon this detection, the security system signals the motor to counteract the wheel movement by rotating one or more wheels in the opposite direction of the direction of wheel rotation detected until the wheel rotation is no longer detected. The security and anti-theft system may determine whether the vehicle is in a locked state by detecting whether a key is present and/or by one or more communications received by an external wireless device. 1. A vehicle security system for a vehicle , comprising:at least one controller; and receive information indicating whether the vehicle is in a state to allow operation of the vehicle; and', 'in response to receiving the information whether the vehicle is in a state to allow operation of the vehicle, make a determination of whether to allow one or more wheels of the vehicle to roll based on the received information indicating whether the vehicle is in a state to allow operation of the vehicle., 'at least one communications module coupled to the at least one controller, wherein the at least one controller is configured to2.
