Abstract

ASSEMBLY AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ACCUMULATORS IN WORKSTATIONS, presenting a system intended for battery control in radio-base stations rack comprising a processing center which controls a switching system, batteries, electromagnetic locks and sensors, in order to prevent non-authorized actions of such batteries inside the racks from occurring.

Claims (30)

1. An assembly and control system for combatting and preventing the theft of an energy accumulator installed in a radio-based station rack in an outdoor environment, said assembly and control system comprising:

(a) at least one battery to be protected installed in a radio-base station rack;

(b) at least one electromagnetic lock configured so that said at least one battery cannot be removed until said at least one electromagnetic lock is de-energized;

(c) a backup power supply;

(d) at least one audible sensor;

(e) at least one presence sensor;

(f) a switching system that electrically powers said at least one electromagnetic lock, said switching system comprising (1) an electrical connection to a rack busbar (2) an electrical connection to said backup power supply, and (3) a sensor for measuring voltage of said rack busbar; and

(g) a processing center controlling activation and deactivation of the at least one electromagnetic lock,

wherein when a signal is received from the at least one presence sensor indicating the absence of the battery to be protected, an audible warning is triggered by said at least one audible sensor to an operations center in order to combat or prevent the theft of the energy accumulator.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one battery further comprises a housing and a ferromagnetic element installed in said housing.

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the ferromagnetic element is installed in a rear portion of the at least one battery.

4. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the ferromagnetic element is configured to fit within a portion of the at least one battery and does not exceed the width and height limits of an installation face.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electromagnetic lock is constructed with electromagnetic magnets.

6. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one battery is attached to the at least one electromagnetic lock.

7. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one electromagnetic lock is installed in an inner portion of the radio-base station rack.

8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the at least one electromagnetic lock will be equal to the number of the at least one battery.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein each electromagnetic lock will fix one battery.

10. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the backup power supply is a battery.

11. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the switching system is directly controlled by the processing center.

12. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing center is provided with a remote communication system connected by Bluetooth, NFC or Wi-Fi.

13. The system, according to claim 12 , wherein the processing center communicates with a device interconnected to a database databases, and is connected to a cloud system.

14. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the presence sensor indicates correct positioning or an absence of the battery.

15. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the processing center is provided with a radio-base station rack door opening sensor.

16. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the radio-base station rack door opening sensor monitors when the radio-base station rack door is open or closed.

17. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the processing center is installed in an inner portion of the radio-base station rack.

18. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one electromagnetic lock is installed in an inner rear portion of the radio-base station rack.

19. The system according to claim 12 , wherein the processing center is installed in an inner rear portion of the radio-base station rack.

20. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the presence sensor indicates unauthorized access to the radio-base station rack.

21. The system according to claim 1 wherein the system is capable of protecting one or more batteries.

22. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the backup power supply is connected to the at least one battery.
