Abstract

The invention relates to a security system with power saving feature and device comprises an electric magnet and a corresponding iron plate. The electric magnet is connected to a G-sensor module and the iron plate has a pressing face to contact with the G-sensor module. When the door is opened, the electric magnet does not supply power; when the door is closed, the electric magnet with electromagnetic attraction attracts the iron plate and the pressing face presses the G-sensor module. That is, the electromagnetic lock usually stays in a low-energy attraction state; however, when the G-sensor module is triggered, the electromagnetic lock returns to a normal lock state for achieving power saving effect and control of the external force detection improvement.

Claims

1. A security system with power saving feature and device, comprising:

an electromagnetic lock having an electric magnet with electromagnetic attraction and an iron plate arranged on a corresponding surface thereof;

a power supply circuit providing power for the electric magnet; and

a sensing module electrically connected to the electric magnet and detecting a signal cause by an environment change at which point the sensing module is configured to output a triggering signal to cause a full supply of the electric power from the power supply circuit to the electromagnetic lock;

wherein the sensing module is a G-sensor module and the G-sensor module includes;

a plate, an elastic member arranged on the plate, a G-sensor arranged on the elastic member and electrically connected to the power supply circuit, an abutment body arranged on the G-sensor and having a protrusion portion and a positioning flange at a periphery thereof, and a seat having an axial through hole for the abutment body to be axially telescoped therein and the telescopic abutment body driving the G-sensor to provide an upward elastic force for the abutment body by the elastic member;

the iron plate includes a spot-faced hole and locked on a door board from an inner side thereof by the spot-faced hole and a bolt assembly, and a spring mounted on the bolt assembly for having an elastic displacement space between the inner side of the iron plate and the door board;

a pressing face mounted on the iron plate and having a front side contacted with the abutment body of the G-sensor module;

whereby when the iron plate is adsorbed by the electric magnet, the abutment body of the G-sensor module is pressed by the pressing face to simultaneously drive the inward movement of the G-sensor and compress the elastic member;

at the same time, the electric magnet is in a low power attraction state;

when the abutment body of the G-sensor module is moved by an external action, the G-sensor is activated by the displacement of the elastic member to return to normal current supply and rapidly get into the normal lock state.

2. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a spring.

3. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electric magnet is arranged on a door flame and the iron plate is correspondingly arranged on the door board and the electric magnet has a containing room with a cover at an opening thereof and the cover has a mounted hole thereon for mounting the G-sensor module.

4. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the G-sensor module further includes:

the plate having a post hole with an upward opening at a center thereof;

a shaft having a flange at a middle section and a small spring arranged on a lower section thereof and arranged in the post hole;

a positioning sleeve having a hook body at a side thereof for fixing on a fixed hole arranged at a periphery of the post hole and corresponding to the post hole has a through hole for arranging an upper section of the shaft;

a recessed flexible body across set on the elastic member and having a recessed center corresponding to a top of the shaft; and

an electrical trigger arranged on the recessed flexible body and corresponding to a trigger area at a bottom surface of the G-sensor.

5. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the power supply circuit is arranged in the containing room of the elastic magnet and an end thereof is connected to an external power and another end is electronically connected to the elastic magnet to control the power supply to the electric magnet.

6. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the pressing face is locked on the corresponding position of the door board or extended from a side of the iron plate.

7. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

an authentication module, which is connected to the sensing module and generate an authentication signal, based on an access data so as to control the sensing module to stop an output of the trigger signal during a predetermined period of an access time after a generation of the authentication signal.

8. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensing module is further configured to continue an output of the triggering signal after no longer detecting the specific action signal for a predetermined period of a delay time is configured to stop the output of the triggering signal after an elapse of the delay time.

9. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a warning unit, which is connected to the sensing module and under control of the sensing module so as to generate a warning signal during the delay time.

10. The security system with power saving feature and device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the warning unit is an alarm, a speaker or a light indicator.
