Abstract

The invention concerns a device and a method in particular for transmitting a movement as well as corresponding forces or moments, in particular a rotational movement, the transmission being carried out exclusively in a coupled state and not in an uncoupled state. Such devices and methods are in particular used in closure devices, such as door and safe locks and other like devices. The inventive device for transmitting a movement as well as corresponding forces and/or moments, comprises a input element (2) and an output element (3) which are coupled by means of a coupling element such that, in uncoupled state, a movement of the input element brings about a movement of the coupling element (4) which does not allow transmission of a movement of the input element to the output element.

Description

Motion transmission device and method

The present invention relates to a device and a method, in particular for the transmission of a movement and corresponding forces or moments and in particular a rotary movement to a lock, the transmission taking place only in a coupled state, but not in a decoupled state.

Such devices and methods are used in particular in the area of locking devices, such as door or safe locks and the like.

DE-C-37 42 189 discloses a locking cylinder, the coupling connected to the locking bit on the one hand can be brought into engagement with a knob shaft. In order to make such a locking cylinder simpler and to achieve better protection against unauthorized use of the locking cylinder, it is proposed that the knob shaft be surrounded by a locking sleeve which can be moved axially through the coupling and locked in certain positions.

EP-A-1 072 741 discloses a locking cylinder, in particular an electronic locking cylinder with electromechanical blocking of the rotation, the electronic key having opposite electrical contacts on the shaft and the rotatable core of the locking cylinder having an annular outer electrical contact track on its inside communicates with an electrical contact that bears against the contact, while the outer annular contact track bears against electrical sliding contacts of the outer and inner rotors. EP-A-0 743 411 discloses a locking device, the key of the welding device having a code transmitter designed as a transponder. An actuator, a transponder reading device and an energy supply device are arranged in the cylinder housing of the locking cylinder of the locking device. The actuator is used to move a locking member which blocks or releases the cylinder core and which engages on the circumference of the cylinder core.

EP-A-1 079 050 discloses a locking device with a locking bit that can be blocked by a locking mechanism, a coupling being arranged between the locking mechanism and the locking bit. The coupling can only be separated from one side of the locking device. As a result, the locking device should be unlockable from this side without access authorization for the locking mechanism.

EP-B-0 805 905 discloses a locking mechanism for a door, which has a shaft, an actuating member rotating the shaft, and an operative connection with the shaft

Locking element for locking the door and one arranged in the actuator

Coupling element which acts on the rotation of the shaft. Furthermore, the

Coupling element on a pin axially movable back and forth, which can be moved back and forth with a locking element which is arranged independently of the actuating member via an electric motor which can be rotated by means of an electronic control, in order to either transmit the rotation of the freely rotatable actuating member to the shaft or in the case of an actuator connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, only allowing a slight rotation of the actuator connected to the shaft. Furthermore, a nook is formed on the pin and a spiral spring is clamped as an energy store between the cam and the spindle of the electric motor and on the end face of the

Actuator provided a contact disc, through which the electronic

Control of an electronic information carrier is controllable by data exchange.

Known devices and methods of this type prove to be disadvantageous in that the coupling or blocking element can only be switched with a relatively high energy requirement, that forces acting on the coupling element in the coupled as well as in the uncoupled state cause a load on the blocking element and / or that

Loading of the coupling element or the blocking element on the drive or actuator is transmitted. In addition to the already mentioned higher energy requirement for switching the clutch, this can result in higher wear and a reduced functional reliability and / or manipulation security, in particular due to an unreliable leaving the coupled state in the no-load state.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. Further and / or additional objects of the invention are to provide a device for transmitting a movement and corresponding forces or moments, which can be switched with very low energy requirements, which can be switched with a bistable actuator, and which can safely disengage with a bistable actuator guaranteed and / or which has a high security against manipulation. This object (s) are achieved with the features of the claims.

The invention is based on the basic idea of providing a device for transmitting a movement and corresponding forces and moments that unite

Has drive and an output, wherein drive and output via at least one

Coupling element are coupled in such a way that at least one coupling element moves in any way when there is a relative movement between the drive and the output, but it is not able to transmit the movement of the drive to the output because its mechanical potential or its resistance to it a certain movement or a certain movement sequence or section cannot be overcome.

In particular, the drive and output are coupled via the at least one coupling element such that in the uncoupled state a movement of the drive causes a movement of at least one coupling element which is not suitable for transmitting a movement of the drive to the output.

In the coupled state, the clutch is preferably brought about by preventing the coupling element from moving, which is brought about by the relative movement between the input and the output. The drive and the output are preferably coupled via the coupling element such that when the state is uncoupled, a rotational movement of the drive causes an essentially axial and / or radial movement of the coupling element and that a rotational movement of the drive in the coupled state essentially causes a rotational movement of the coupling element. in this connection causes an axial and / or radial movement of the coupling element preferably substantially no movement of the output, wherein a rotational movement of the coupling element preferably essentially causes a rotational movement of the output. According to a further or additional embodiment, the drive and output are preferably coupled via the coupling element in such a way that, when uncoupled, a rotational movement of the drive essentially causes a rotational as well as an axial and / or radial movement of the coupling element and that a rotational movement of the drive in the coupled state in the Essentially causes a rotational movement of the coupling element. Here, a rotational as well as an axial and / or radial movement of the coupling element preferably bring about essentially no movement of the output, wherein a rotational movement, preferably an essentially exclusive rotational movement, of the coupling element preferably brings about essentially a rotational movement of the output. According to a further embodiment, the drive and the output are moved essentially linearly and are preferably coupled via the coupling element in such a way that when the state is decoupled, a movement of the drive causes a movement component orthogonal to it or an essentially orthogonal movement of the coupling element and that a movement of the drive in the coupled state essentially causes the coupling element to move in the same direction.

A device according to the invention preferably further has a coupling device which can effect a coupling and a decoupling of the drive with the output via the at least one coupling element. In a preferred embodiment, the coupling device is essentially not in engagement with the coupling element (s) in the uncoupled state. Furthermore, the coupling device in the coupled state preferably results in a restriction of the mobility, in particular the axial and / or radial or the movement of the coupling element orthogonal to the movement of the input or output. In a preferred embodiment, the coupling device has at least one coupling locking device for restricting the axial and / or radial or for the movement of the input or output orthogonal mobility of the

Coupling element in the coupled state, at least one actuator for positioning the

Clutch locking device and / or at least one storage or

Resistance device for positioning the clutch locking device and / or Store position information of the clutch locking device. In the case of a rotational or rotational movement, a movement orthogonal to this movement is understood to mean an axial and / or radial movement to this rotational movement.

The coupling device is preferably designed such that the actuator is suitable for movement or positioning of at least one coupling locking device, e.g. a clutch blocking element, against a resistance of a storage or resistance device, for example via a mechanical potential, such as e.g. a spring or magnetic force to cause a position suitable for coupling. In a preferred embodiment, the actuator can be actuated mechanically and / or electrically and / or electromagnetically. The actuator is preferably battery-operated. In a further preferred embodiment, the actuator is pulse-controlled and / or bistable. Furthermore, the actuator can also have at least one electromagnet for actuating a clutch locking device.

In a preferred embodiment, the coupling element and coupling device are designed such that the coupling can only disengage if a force between the input and output drops below a certain minimum value and the actuator is in a rest position or a position corresponding to a decoupled state.

According to a preferred embodiment, the drive / output is connected to at least one coupling element via at least one first guide device. This is preferably designed such that a relative rotation between the coupling element and the input / output preferably causes an essentially axial and / or radial movement of the coupling element relative to the input / output.

The drive / output is thus connected to at least one coupling element via at least one first guide device. Furthermore, the coupling element is preferably connected to the output / drive via at least one second guide device. The second guide device is preferably configured essentially parallel with respect to an axial and / or radial direction of movement of the coupling element or a longitudinal axis of the device, or essentially effects a correspondingly parallel guide. The at least one is preferably the second Guide device of the coupling element designed such that a torque on the coupling element exerts a torque on the output / drive, but not an axial force.

According to a further preferred embodiment, in which the input and output are moved essentially linearly, the input / output is connected to at least one coupling element via at least one first guide device. This is preferably designed such that a relative linear movement between the coupling element and drive / output preferably brings about a movement component of the coupling element that is orthogonal to this.

The drive / output is thus connected to at least one coupling element via at least one first guide device. Furthermore, the coupling element is preferably connected to the output / drive via at least one second guide device. The second guide device is preferably designed such that a force in the linear direction of movement on the coupling element essentially exerts a force in the same direction on the output / drive, but essentially no force orthogonal thereto.

The output preferably has a first resistance or a first mechanical potential, which must be overcome in order to rotate it. According to a preferred embodiment, this is brought about by at least one resistance or potential arrangement, which opposes this resistance or potential via a third guide device when the output is moving, at least in partial areas of the movement sequence. According to a preferred embodiment, the resistance or potential arrangement is designed as a spring arrangement, which is at least partially tensioned at least in partial areas of the movement sequence when the output is moved. In a further embodiment, the mechanical potential to be overcome to move the output essentially acts on the coupling element, e.g. via a potential arrangement or torsion spring.

A movement of the drive now causes at least in some areas of the

Movement sequence a displacement of the coupling element in orthogonal to this Directions if the mechanical potential to be overcome at the output is greater than that required to displace the coupling element. This means that the coupling element is moved back and forth when the drive rotates, but cannot cause the output to move, since it cannot overcome its mechanical potential.

Preferably, at least one clutch locking device or a clutch locking element can be moved into the engagement area of the clutch element via an actuator (e.g. an electric motor and / or an electromagnet arrangement) in such a way that its axial and / or radial or for moving the attachment element or output orthogonal movement is prevented. The mechanical interaction between the coupling element and the coupling blocking element is preferably designed such that the coupling element is not prevented from transmitting the useful movement.

The movement of the coupling element is now transmitted to the output via the second guide arrangement, wherein the potential, for example the effect of the potential arrangement, can be overcome.

Furthermore, the device preferably has a further, second resistance or a further, second mechanical potential, which or which has to be overcome at least in partial areas of a relative movement sequence between drive and output. This mechanical potential is smaller than the first mechanical potential that has to be overcome to move the output. This mechanical potential preferably also causes the coupling device (s) to assume or assume a position on the drive that falls below a certain torque, which enables the clutch locking device or the clutch locking element to be moved into and out of the engagement area essentially without force.

In particular, the interaction between clutch locking elements and coupling elements can be designed so that the effects of force by the

Coupling element cause a tendency to move in the direction of stronger or safer engagement, so that in the event of only partial engagement at the beginning of the force application, an operationally more reliable position is assumed in any case. According to a preferred embodiment, the coupling element is moved in a pulse-controlled manner, which is particularly preferred in the case of a battery-operated application. In this case, the input or output are preferably brought into corresponding positions in the idle state by means of corresponding spring mechanisms. The coupling between the actuator and the clutch locking device or clutch locking element is preferably carried out via a spring element, so that, for example, a given electrical pulse on the actuator is mechanically buffered until the coupling element is in a suitable position. This applies to engaging and / or disengaging. This ensures in particular that the desired state is adopted regardless of the mechanical status.

According to preferred embodiments, the coupling device is tamper-proof. The coupling device is preferably designed to be shockproof. This can preferably be achieved in that the essential directions of movement of the coupling device are carried out essentially orthogonally to the expected directions of impact. Another preferred embodiment provides counter moments that compensate for the forces caused by the impact.

According to a method according to the invention, in particular for coupling a movement and corresponding forces and moments, a formation and / or arrangement of corresponding elements and / or their movement takes place, as described in connection with the discussion of the devices according to the invention, and the transmission or coupling of a movement and corresponding forces and moments by means of a device according to the invention.

It is advantageous to use locking devices or locking mechanisms, in particular electric and / or locking devices controlled by transponders. In particular, an electronic position determination of the clutch locking element is possible, on the basis of which the actuator control can take place. A device according to the invention and a method according to the invention are described in more detail below on the basis of preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

1 shows a preferred device 1 according to the invention for transmitting a

Movement and corresponding forces and moments, the device 1 a Has drive 2 and an output 3. Drive 2 and output 3 are connected to one another via a coupling element 4 or are coupled by this. Coupling element 4 and drive 2 and output 3 are designed such that in the uncoupled state, a relative movement between drive 2 and output 3 causes a movement of the coupling element 4 that is not suitable for transmitting a movement of the drive 2 to the output 3.

For this purpose, the coupling element 4 preferably has at least part of a first and / or second guide device, namely at least a first 5 and at least a second 6 sliding surface, each with at least one part of the first guide device arranged on the drive 2, namely at least one first sliding element 7 , and at least one part of the second guide device arranged on the output 3, namely at least one second sliding element 8. In this case, they are sliding surfaces 5 and 6 and the sliding elements 7 and 8 are preferably designed and / or arranged such that, in the uncoupled state, a rotational movement of the drive 2 brings about an essentially axial movement of the coupling element 4, the axial movement of the coupling element 4 in Essentially no movement of the output 3 causes. Furthermore, a rotational movement of the drive 2 in the coupled state preferably essentially causes a rotational movement of the coupling element 4, which in turn preferably essentially causes a rotational movement of the output 3.

For this purpose, the at least one first sliding surface 5 is preferably designed to be inclined with respect to an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4. In a further preferred embodiment, the at least one first sliding surface 5 is designed to be inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the device 1. Furthermore, the at least one first sliding surface 5 preferably has at least partially one or more radii. In a preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 1, the at least one first sliding surface 5 is designed in the form of an indentation provided with radii. The radius and / or slope of the at least one first sliding surface 5 preferably change along its length in order to slide and / or contact the at least one first

Sliding element 7 on the first sliding surface 5 a defined movement and / or force or

To effect moment transfer. The at least one first sliding element 7 is preferably arranged on the drive 2 such that when it rotates, it moves essentially on a plane that is approximately perpendicular to an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 or a longitudinal axis of the device. In this case, it preferably rests on and / or slides on at least one first sliding surface 5 of the coupling element 4.

The at least one second sliding surface 6 arranged on the coupling element 4 for contact with the at least one second sliding element 8 arranged on the output 3 is preferably essentially parallel with respect to an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 or a longitudinal axis of the device 1. The at least one second sliding element 8 is preferably arranged such that when the coupling element 4 or the output 3 rotates, it is essentially on an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 to an axis of rotation of the output 3 and / or to a longitudinal axis of the device 1 vertical plane is moved, wherein it rests on and / or slides on at least a second sliding surface 6.

In a preferred embodiment, the at least one second sliding surface 6 is formed by a recess arranged in the coupling element 4, particularly preferably by a substantially rectangular recess, as shown in FIG. 1.

In a preferred embodiment, sliding surfaces and sliding elements or their arrangement on the drive, output and coupling element are interchanged.

The embodiment shown also has a clutch spring 9, which is arranged between the coupling element 4 and the output 3, wherein it biases the coupling element 4 with respect to the drive and / or the output 3. The clutch spring 9 preferably presses the clutch element 4 or at least one first sliding surface 5 against at least one first sliding element 7.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the output 3 has at least one

Part of a third guide device with at least a third sliding surface 10. The at least one third sliding surface 10 is preferably with respect to an axis of rotation of the Output 3, an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 and or a longitudinal axis of the device 1 inclined or chamfered. According to further or additional preferred embodiments of the at least one third sliding surface 10, reference is made to the discussion of the at least one first sliding surface 5.

The device 1 also preferably has at least part of the third guide device, namely at least one third sliding element 11 for contact with at least one third sliding surface 10 arranged on the drive 3. The at least one third sliding element 11 is preferably arranged on a guide 12, at least one third sliding element 11 preferably being arranged in a guide groove formed in the guide 12. According to a preferred embodiment, the guide 12 or the guide groove 13 prevents a displacement of the at least one third sliding element 11 along a plane which is approximately perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the output 3, to the axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 and / or to a longitudinal axis of the device 1. Particularly preferably, the guide 12 or the guide groove 13 ensures only a displacement of the at least one third sliding element 11 along an axis of rotation of the output 3, an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 and or a longitudinal axis of the device 1. Furthermore, the device 1 preferably has one on the Guide 12 arranged potential spring 14, which biases at least one third sliding element 11 with respect to the output 3. According to a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, at least one third sliding element 11 is arranged in contact with at least one third sliding surface 10, whereby it is biased relative to the latter by the potential spring 14. Here, the potential spring 14 presses the sliding element 11 against the sliding surface 10. Such an arrangement brings about a mechanical potential of the output, which must be overcome in order to rotate it.

According to further preferred embodiments, the guide 12, potential spring 14 and third sliding surface (s) 10 are preferably arranged substantially perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the output 3, an axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4 and or a longitudinal axis of the device 1. As a result, the axial length of the alignment can be reduced with the same effect. Furthermore, the device preferably has a coupling device or a coupling mechanism 15 which, in a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, has an actuator 16, a clutch locking device or a clutch locking element 17 and a memory or resistance device, here clutch lock spring 18.

The coupling device 15 is preferably designed or arranged in such a way that the coupling locking element 17 can essentially assume two positions, one position causing the device 1 to be uncoupled (FIG. 1 a, FIG. 1 b) and another position being a coupled state the device causes (Fig. lc). The coupling device 15 can thus effect a coupling and a decoupling of the drive 2 with the output 3 by means of the coupling element 4. The respective state depends on the position of the coupling device 15.

The coupling device 15 is preferably designed such that the coupling locking device or the coupling locking element 17 is not in engagement with the coupling element 4 in the uncoupled state and the coupling device 15 or the coupling locking element 17 is arranged in the coupled state in such a way that the coupling element 4, that a limitation the mobility of the coupling element 4 is effected. According to a preferred embodiment, the coupling element 4 has at least one coupling section 19, which is preferably designed as a projection and particularly preferably as a circumferential projection. To generate a coupled state, the clutch blocking element 17 is arranged by the actuator 16 relative to the coupling element 4 in such a way that it essentially restricts or prevents axial mobility of the coupling element 4. The coupling device 15 or the coupling blocking element 17 particularly preferably prevents axial movement of the coupling element 4 by engagement with at least one coupling section 19.

The coupling device 15 is preferably designed such that the actuator 16

Clutch locking element 17 positioned against the clutch lock spring 18 in the position suitable for the clutch. Here, the coupling device 15 is preferably designed in such a way that the device 1 is without the action of energy, ie in particular without Activity of the actuator 16, is in the uncoupled state. In the otherwise unloaded state, the clutch lock spring 18 preferably causes the clutch lock element 17 to be positioned in the uncoupled position. By actuating the actuator, the clutch locking element can now be brought into the position suitable for coupling against the spring force of the clutch locking spring 18. For this purpose, the clutch locking element 17 is preferably moved into the engagement area of the clutch element 4 or a clutch section 19. In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the actuator is designed as an electric motor, which preferably has an eccentric disc 20, by means of which the clutch locking element 17 is displaced when the actuator rotates. Here, a movement of the clutch locking element 17 by the actuator is only necessary in the event of a change in state from the uncoupled to the coupled state. The change from the coupled to the uncoupled state takes place here through the spring force of the clutch lock spring 18. As an alternative to the electric motor, it is also conceivable that the actuator 16 is designed as an electromagnet arrangement, comparable to the electromagnet arrangement as shown in FIG. 4, which is shown in FIG further described in detail.

For a more detailed description of the effect of the coupled or non-coupled state of the device, reference is made in particular to FIGS. 1b and 1c. If the device 1 is in the uncoupled state (FIG. 1b), a relative movement between the drive 2 and the drive 3, shown here a rotation of the drive 2, does not cause any movement of the drive 3, in particular since its mechanical potential cannot be overcome. The drive 2 is connected to the coupling element 4 via a first sliding element 7 and a first sliding surface 5. If the drive 2 now rotates, due to the beveled sliding surface of the coupling element 4, this causes its displacement in the axial direction against the force of the coupling spring 9. Here, an axial and a radial force component is transmitted to the coupling element 4 via the at least one first sliding element 7 , Here, the axial component causes a displacement of the coupling element in the direction shown by the arrow X. Such a displacement of the coupling element 4 does not result in any transmission of motion to the output 3, since the at least one second sliding element 8 arranged on the output 3 abuts or slides on the second sliding surfaces 6 arranged essentially parallel to the axial direction of movement of the coupling element 4, these in the longitudinal direction no movement or force is transmitted to the output 3 via the at least one second sliding element 8. In practical use, the inclination of the at least one first sliding surface also acts on the coupling element 4 as a radial force, which brings about a torque on the coupling element 4. As a result, the coupling element 4 is attempted to rotate about its axial direction of displacement, at least one of the second sliding surfaces 6 acting on at least one second sliding element 8 in such a way that a force, which is perpendicular in the illustration, acts on the second sliding element 8 or a torque is transmitted to the output 3. Here, however, the transmitted torque is so low that it is not able to overcome the mechanical potential of the output 3, which is directed against a rotational movement thereof. Accordingly, the coupling element 4 is moved in the uncoupled state by a rotation of the drive 2 in the axial direction, provided that the force caused by the rotation of the drive 2, acting on the coupling element 4 is greater than that opposed by the coupling spring 9 to the axial displacement of the coupling element 4 Force, but no rotational movement of the output is caused, since its mechanical potential cannot be overcome.

If the device is now coupled, i.e. If the coupling locking element 17 is moved via the eccentric 20 of the actuator 16 against the force of the coupling locking spring 18 into the engagement area of the coupling element 4, it prevents an axial movement of the coupling element 4 by engagement with the coupling element 4 or with the coupling section 19 Drive 2, the clutch locking element 17 prevents the clutch element 4 from axially shifting, but not from rotation, so that the rotation of the drive 2 is transmitted via at least one first sliding element 7 and at least one inclined sliding surface 5 into a rotational movement of the coupling element 4. The prevention of an axial movement of the coupling element 4 thus essentially prevents a sliding element 7 from sliding along a sliding surface 5, so that the rotary movement of the drive 2 is transmitted to the coupling element 4 (FIG. 1 c). The rotary movement of the drive 2 is now via the coupling element 4 or sliding element 7, sliding surface 5, sliding surface 6 and

Transfer sliding element 8 to the output 3. Since the torque introduced for the rotary movement of the drive 2 is now not converted into an axial displacement of the coupling element 4, but is transmitted to the output 3 via the coupling element 4 the effect or the resistance of the potential arrangement can be overcome and the output 3 can thus rotate. The clutch locking element 17 thus prevents or impedes axial movement of the coupling element 4, but does not prevent or prevent it from rotating, since the axial counterforce is transmitted via the sliding surface 5 5.

In a preferred embodiment, the coupling locking element 17 and / or the coupling element 4 or the coupling section 19 is designed such that the coupling element 4 acts on the coupling locking element 17

10 Relieve the actuator. Here, the contact surfaces of the coupling locking element 17 and coupling element 4 or coupling section 19 are preferably bevelled in such a way that an axial force effect of the coupling element 4 on the coupling locking element 17 causes the coupling locking element to move in the direction of stronger or more secure engagement, so that 5 when only partially engaging at the beginning of the application of force then in any case or essentially an operationally more reliable position and furthermore a locking of the clutch locking element 17 in the coupled position is ensured and its return to the uncoupled position is prevented as long as the torque that is transmitted from the drive to the Downforce is transmitted, a certain value does not fall below 0. In further preferred embodiments, the contact surfaces of the clutch locking element 17 and the clutch element 4 or the clutch section 19 have further configurations that differ from the surface geometries shown, but they fulfill the functions described above. 5

After the rotation of the drive 2 and the displacement of the coupling element 4, the coupling spring 9 and / or potential spring 14 preferably cause the individual elements to be reset, i.e. Drive 2, coupling element 4 and / or output 3, in the starting position (see. Fig. La). As shown in Fig. 1, are in a preferred

_Third Embodiment drive 2, output 3 and guide 12 and coupling device 15 are mounted in such a way that axial displacement, ie in the direction or against the direction of the arrow X in FIG. 1b, is prevented or essentially restricted. In preferred embodiments, the first, second and third sliding elements 7, 8, 11 and the first, second and third sliding surfaces 5, 6, 10 are arranged outside the axis of rotation of the device 1. According to a further preferred embodiment, drive 2, coupling element 4, output 3 and / or guide 12 are essentially symmetrical and / or rotationally symmetrical. According to a further embodiment according to the invention, the actuator 16 is battery-operated and pulse-controlled according to a further or additional embodiment. According to a further embodiment, the actuator has different configurations from those described and suitable for fulfilling the described function.

In a further embodiment of the device according to the invention, as shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 2a-2c, a mechanical potential, which must be overcome to move the 'output, acts on the coupling element 4 with a spring element 21, e.g. a torsion spring or a potential arrangement. This embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. La-lc in that the output 3 does not necessarily have to have its own mechanical potential, since this is essentially introduced onto the coupling element via the torsion spring 21. The angle of rotation of the output 3 can be limited by its interaction with a stop 22, FIG. 2c showing the rest position.

In the uncoupled state, the coupling element 4 is, as described above, moved by rotating the drive 2 in the axial direction, provided that the force acting on the coupling element 4 caused by the rotation of the drive 2 is greater than that by the coupling spring 9 of the axial Displacement of the coupling element 4 opposite force. However, a rotational movement of the output 3 is not brought about since the mechanical potential of the coupling element 4 generated by the spring element 21 cannot be overcome.

In the coupled state, on the other hand, as described above, causes a rotational movement of the drive 2, preferably essentially a rotational movement of the coupling element 4, which is transmitted to the output 3, since the mechanical potential introduced by the torsion spring 21 can now be overcome. FIG. 3 shows a further preferred embodiment of a coupling device 15 for use with a device, for example a device as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 and described above. At this point, therefore, only the features which are different from the above-described embodiment will be discussed. Fig. 3 shows a coupling device 15, for coupling a coupling element 4, with an actuator 16, an eccentric 20, a coupling locking device or a coupling locking element 17 and a storage or resistance device, here clutch lock spring 18. Fig. 3a shows the actuator 16 or Eccentric 20 in neutral or uncoupled position, the clutch locking element 17 is also in the uncoupled position. 3b shows the actuator 16 in the coupled position, with the clutch locking element 17 being prevented from being engaged by the position of the clutch element 4. In this case, the position information or the positioning energy for the positioning of the clutch locking element 17 in the coupled position is stored in the clutch lock spring 18. If the clutch element 4 moves into a position that allows a clutch to engage, as can be seen in FIG. 3c, the clutch lock spring 18 positions the clutch lock element 17 into the coupled position by the stored energy. The position of the actuator 16 remains unchanged. Conversely, FIG. 3d shows the clutch locking element 17 in the coupled position, that is to say in engagement with the coupling element 4, the actuator 16 being in the neutral or uncoupled position. In this case too, the position information or the positioning energy for the positioning of the clutch lock element 17 is stored in the clutch lock spring 18. If the coupling element 4 now moves into a position that allows decoupling, the coupling lock spring 18 positions the coupling locking element 17 into the neutral or uncoupled position by the stored energy, as can be seen in FIG. 2a.

As can be seen from the embodiments described above, the devices according to the invention are preferably designed to be tamper-proof. Additional security against manipulation is further achieved, for example and preferably, in that the clutch locking element 17 is supported and arranged vertically in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the device and in that the actuator 16 is transverse to the

Device longitudinal axis is arranged. Such an arrangement works on one

Longitudinal impact or impact on the device, such as with a

Use as a locking device when striking the same, none or only one low force on the actuator 16, which would be suitable for adjusting the same, and no or only a small force in the coupling or uncoupling direction of the clutch locking element 17.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the device or method are designed in such a way that an axial and / or radial movement of the drive, via a corresponding arrangement of the individual elements, brings about an axial and / or radial movement of the output, the movement of the drive occurring the output can be coupled accordingly by at least one coupling element. Further preferred embodiments result from a combination of different preferred embodiments. Furthermore, a plurality of devices can be connected to one another, for example arranged one behind the other, or can have one or more drives, drives, coupling elements, guide devices, coupling devices, etc., which are connected or operatively connected to one another and to one another.

Further preferred embodiments mutually couple translational movements instead of rotary movements.

According to a method according to the invention, a movement and corresponding forces and moments are transmitted in accordance with the described mode of operation of a device according to the invention and in a further preferred method using a device according to the invention.

Another device according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 4a-4d. There, the coupling element 4 consists of several elements 23, for example in the form of rollers, which are guided in the drive 2 such that they essentially only move in a radial direction relative to the latter, such as shown in Figs. 4a and 4b.

In FIGS. 4a, 4c, 4d and in FIGS. 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b to be explained later, it should be noted that the coupling element in the form of a roller 23 is shown as a section, but lies above the actual section plane for better representation.

Furthermore, for reasons of clarity, the cuts are only made as a thin layer. In the view in FIG. 4a, the actuator in the form of an electromagnet has also been omitted for reasons of clarity. Furthermore, for reasons of clarity, no mechanical potential is shown on the drive in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.

The rollers 23 are connected via a spring element 24, e.g. consisting of a leg spring, pressed outwards to the output 3. The output 3 is designed in such a way that the rollers or roller elements 23 preferably run over radial elevations 25 on the output 3 which are formed on the inside and thus have to deflect inwards during a relative movement between the drive 2 and output 3, whereby they have to overcome the potential of the spring element 24. However, the rollers are not able to overcome the mechanical potential of the output 3, so that in the uncoupled state, when the drive 2 rotates, there is essentially no rotation of the output 3, since its mechanical potential is not overcome. For reasons of simplification, the mechanical potential of the output 3 is not shown in FIGS. 4a-4d.

Furthermore, the device as coupling mechanism 15 has an actuator 16 with an electromagnet arrangement, a rotatable coupling blocking element 17 with a coupling blocking spring 18, and a switching element 30 and a switching element spring 31.

The coupling device 15 is preferably designed such that the coupling locking element 17 can essentially assume two positions, one position causing the device 1 to be uncoupled (FIG. 4c) and another position causing the device to be coupled (FIG. 4a, 4b, 4d). Thus, the coupling device 15 can effect coupling and uncoupling of the drive 2 with the output 3 by means of the coupling element 4 here in the form of rollers 23. The respective state depends on the position of the coupling device 15.

In the coupled state, as shown in FIGS. 4a, 4b and 4d, this is

Coupling locking element 17 moves between the rollers 23 so that they can no longer deflect and a torque can be transmitted to the output 3. This is done by applying a current to a coil 27, which makes it magnetic

Flow through a yoke 26 and the switching element 30, which is preferably at least partially magnetically permeable, causes. This flow causes one attractive force in the air gap between yoke 26 and switching element 30 in which the switching element spring 31 of the switching element is compressed. As a result, the clutch locking element 17, which is connected to the switching element 30 via the clutch locking spring 18, is moved to the center in such a way that the input and output are coupled to one another.

An advantage here is that no friction occurs in the coupled state, since the radially acting counterforce is eliminated by the symmetrical embodiment.

For decoupling, the switching element 30 is released from the electromagnet arrangement 26, 27 again, so that the switching element spring 31 moves the clutch locking element 17 back into a rest position. The uncoupling can be supported by a stop 33 by limiting the path of the clutch locking element 17 in such a way that the clutch locking spring 18 is pretensioned when the switching element 30 is tightened. If the magnetic force is now briefly removed from the switching element 30 for decoupling, this can be released somewhat from its stop on the yoke 26 by the prestressed coupling lock spring 18, even if the coupling locking element 17 is still clamped between the coupling elements 4 due to an external torque on the drive 2 ,

A further embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 5 and 5a and 5b. This embodiment essentially corresponds to the embodiment as shown in FIG. 4 and differs from this mainly in the design of the coupling device 15.

In the clutch device 15, the clutch locking element 17 and the switching element 30 moved by the actuator 16 are designed separately. In the uncoupled state, the switching element 30 is pressed by the switching element spring 31 against the clutch locking element 17 and its clutch locking spring 18, as shown in FIG. 5a. Since the clutch lock spring 18 is preferably weaker than the switching element spring 31, the clutch lock element 17 is pressed against a stop 33.

In order to couple drive 2 and output 3 with each other, the switching element 30 is by the

Actuator 16 actuated. The switching element 30 is activated by the electromagnet 26, 27 tightened so that the clutch lock spring 18 is able to move the clutch lock element 17 into an engaged position toward the center. Coupling locking element 17 and switching element 30 are preferably not in direct mechanical contact in this state.This enables decoupling to be supported: If the magnetic force is briefly removed from switching element 30 for decoupling, this can be somewhat reduced due to the distance to coupling locking element 17 by prestressed switching element spring 31 release its stop on the yoke 26 even if the clutch locking element 17 is still clamped between the coupling elements 4 due to an external torque on the drive 2.

Another preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 6 and 6a and 6b. This embodiment corresponds essentially to the embodiment as shown in FIG. 4 and differs from this mainly in the design of the coupling device 15. The coupling device 15 is designed such that instead of the switching element 30 and the switching element spring 31, the coupling blocking element 17 and its clutch lock spring 18 can be actuated directly via the actuator 16.

The clutch locking element 17 and / or switching element 30 are rotatably and / or displaceably mounted, the movement required for engaging being substantially perpendicular to the direction of engagement, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. An advantage of the aforementioned embodiments is that they are particularly tamper-proof. This means that accelerations introduced manipulatively in the direction of attack can essentially not cause it to move into the coupled position.

In the case of a rotatable embodiment of the clutch locking element 17 and / or the switching element 30, the center of gravity thereof can be stored in its rest position (uncoupled) relative to its axis of rotation in such a way that no clutch engagement can be effected in the case of accelerations that essentially come from the direction of attack. For example, this can preferably be achieved in that the connecting line between the center of gravity and the center of rotation is essentially parallel to the direction of attack. Another advantage of the embodiments from FIGS. 4 to 6 is that the movement for engaging takes place towards the center, so that centrifugal forces cannot be used manipulatively.

The direction of action of the magnetic field (or magnetic fields) generated by the coil 27 between the clutch blocking element 17 or the switching element 30 and the yoke 26 is essentially transverse to the direction of attack. This has the advantage that external manipulative magnetic fields cannot act in this direction, they will essentially cause the clutch locking element 17 or the switching element 30 to be repelled by the yoke 26.

It should be noted that in addition to the previously described embodiments in which roller elements are used as the coupling element, embodiments are also conceivable with only one roller element 23 or sliding element or more than two roller elements 23 or sliding elements, as well as combinations of rolling and sliding elements.

According to further preferred embodiments, the different preferred embodiments described can be combined with one another as desired and exchanged with one another, with a detailed discussion of all alternative embodiments being dispensed with for reasons of clarity.

The device according to the invention and the method according to the invention allow, in particular, the coupling of an aluminum and an output with a very low energy requirement, wherein in particular a reliable decoupling is ensured with an essentially no-load drive.
