Description

The invention relates to the field of electronic locks or, more generally, electronically controlled power locking devices.

Numerous electronic lock devices are known, where the power mechanical assembly of the lock, which transfers the user's effort to the output elements of the lock (deadbolt, cam, etc.), is controlled by mechanical locking means, the change of position of which determines the possibility of opening or closing the lock by the user. At the same time, the positions of the locking means in which it blocks or unlocks the power unit can be additionally fixed by means of its fixation. In most known locks, the locking means or fixing means is moved by electromechanical means, for example, solenoids, electric drives, or other electromechanical actuators, according to the commands of electronic controls, as, for example, described in patents US 6125673 from 03.10.2000, US 5469727 from 11.28.1995 , US 6401501 dated 06/11/2002, US 7316140 dated 08/08/2008, US 4912460 dated 03/27/1990.

A noticeable drawback of such locks is that the locking means or fixing means are loaded from the side of the elements of the power unit of the lock, for example, return springs (US 6125673) or can be loaded, for example, “pinched” when the relative position of the elements of the power unit of the lock is such that they prevent the free movement of the locking means or means of its fixation. For these reasons, an electromechanical tool often requires unnecessarily increased energy consumption from an electric power source to move the locking means and / or fixation means that are under load.

The aim of the present invention is the creation of such a kinematic diagram of an electronic lock device and a method for controlling this lock, which can reduce the energy consumption of electromechanical means, which will make autonomous electronic locks with a long life of a galvanic power source (batteries) or locks operating from a power source located in key, as well as create a variety of electronic locks, working from non-galvanic sources of electricity, such as solar panels a seizure or from piezoelectric generators located in the castle, activated by mechanical movements of the castle elements (see, for example, application WO 2009028991 of 03/05/2009).

This goal is achieved by the fact that in an electronic lock containing a power unit, designed for mechanical coupling of the power elements of the castle; means for blocking said power unit kinematically associated with it and intended to set the elements of the power unit in the state: locked or unlocked; means for fixing said positions of the locking means; the electromechanical means that controls the movement of the elements of the locking means by commands from the electronic control means of the lock, the specified locking means, in addition to the fixed positions in which the power unit of the lock is locked or unlocked, has such an intermediate position in the lock in which the means for fixing the positions of the locking means are released from the power load or from kinematic restrictions on the part of the locking means, and only in this intermediate position the electronic control means lock can give commands to the electromechanical means for changing the position of elements locking means, wherein the setting locking means in said intermediate position for subsequent changes in the power unit lock state is made by mechanical forces, directly or indirectly attached thereto by the user, and reduces its power consumption.

In order to reliably determine the position of the locking means, in which the electromechanical means is mechanically unloaded from the side of the locking means, the electronic lock may further comprise an electronic sensor that transmits signals to the critical positions of the locking means and / or fixing means to the electronic control device.

As already noted, a variety of devices can be selected as an electromechanical tool in the lock, such as, for example: an electric motor, an electromagnetic solenoid, a piezoelectric actuator, or an electrostatic locking device (see, for example, patent RU 2158438, from 04/14/1999).

If, for example, an electric motor is selected as an electromechanical means, then the locking means can be implemented as a cam mounted on a motor shaft, performing rotational movements, or in the form of a conical-cylindrical sleeve connected to a motor shaft by a screw pair and making a reciprocating movement when rotating the motor shaft. Moreover, in the inventive method of operation and the corresponding electronic lock device, the rotation of the motor shaft occurs only when the fixing means is free of load from the side of the power elements of the lock, and in particular from the side of the locking means.

An electronic lock essentially comprises electronic control means for generating control signals (commands) by an electromechanical means and also for exchanging information signals with a lock user. Input / output of information can be carried out by various means, such as using the keyboard, using RFID devices, using acoustic, radio or optical transceivers.

An important advantage of the locks according to the claimed invention is that the energy consumption associated with the electromechanical locking means is comparable or much less than the energy consumption associated with the transmission and processing of information signals. Due to this property, the inventive electronic locks do not require capacious internal galvanic power sources for long-term operation and, moreover, can be performed without using such sources. For example, in such locks, it is possible to use compact solar cells mounted on the lock case, or to transfer electric energy to the lock from the user through direct galvanic, or optical, or electric induction, or another channel of energy pumping, followed by the accumulation of a portion of the electric power in the lock necessary for execution its short-term function. Another promising device that will be effective in conjunction with the claimed invention is the piezoelectric transducers of the mechanical energy of the movement of the elements of the castle into electrical energy built into the lock mechanism, which will be enough for the electronic lock control to work.

The electronic lock control device can be made as a single unit or contain several separate units electrically connected to each other, for example, interface external devices for input / output of user information or recharging the lock and an internal command unit that stores the necessary data and controls electromechanical means.

The claimed electronic lock allows a simple way to open / close the lock, which is simple and convenient, in particular for users with disabilities. For example, by pressing a special reader button located on the surface of the lock with the user's code key, the internal locking means kinematically connected with this button is transferred to the intermediate position for switching the lock. In this position, the end sensor is triggered, which initiates the reading of the code information from the user key by the electronic lock control, which in turn generates the corresponding command for the electromechanical means to lock / unlock the lock. If a user's fingerprint is used as a code key, then the described method looks like - he pressed the lock button with his finger and the lock opened / closed. Moreover, in addition to this, the energy of the mechanical movement of the button can be converted into electrical energy necessary for the operation of the lock electronics.

Thus, one simple and natural mechanical manipulation of the user allows you to make all the necessary movements in the device, generate the necessary electricity and lead to the implementation of the necessary functions.

Electronic locks or other power locking devices can have a variety of designs, and a significant reduction in energy consumption, possible due to the claimed invention, is especially effective for compact standalone locks, such as cylinder mechanisms for mortise and padlocks, furniture locks, padlocks, locks for locking firearms , locking and sealing devices, etc.

The drawings below illustrate some of the embodiments of the invention, which at the same time does not exclude a wide variety of other forms of implementing the inventive concept.

The locking means 6 is designed to install and / or hold the specified power unit in at least two positions: unlocked (figa), when the output means 4 is not engaged with the element 3, and locked (fig.1b) when the output the means 4 is engaged with the grooves of the element 3. The locking means 6, in turn, can be fixed relative to the element 3 using the ball means 7. The position of the balls 7 is determined by the fixing means 9, which is made in the form of a cam mounted on an electric motor shaft, Foot as electromechanical means 8. commands to the rotation of the cam 9 are produced by the electronic lock control means 10.

On figa cam 9 is rotated so that the balls 7 extend beyond the dimension of the sleeve of the locking means 6 and thereby prevent the locking means from moving to the left, which allows it to hold the means 4 in the right position, resisting the indirect action of the spring 5. In fig.1b, the cam 9 rotated so that the balls 7 can enter the size of the locking means 6, so that the locking means is no longer fixed and moves under the influence of the spring means 4 to the left in the "locked" position.

It should be noted that in the “unlocked” state (FIG. 1b), the cam 9 cannot be rotated, since the balls 7 cannot go beyond the size of the locking means 6. In the “locked” state (FIG. 1a), the balls 7 are exposed to the edge of the element 3 and the spring-loaded means 4 of the locking means 6; however, they squeeze the cam 9 (see footnote 11 in figa). In this position, the rotation of the cam 9 requires considerable effort and thereby increased energy consumption by the electromechanical means 8.

In accordance with the claimed invention, in order to reduce the energy consumption of the electromechanical means 8, at the moment of controlling the lock, the locking means 6 is set by the user in such an intermediate position (Fig. 1c), in which the locking means 6 is shifted to the right, overcoming the forces of the spring 5. This causes a slight shift relative to element 3, and the ball is separated from the face of element 3 by a gap δ (see footnote 11 in Fig. 1c). For a clearer understanding of the offset δ, a similar footnote is shown in figa, where the initial position of the locking means 6 and the lock element 3 is indicated, in which the locking means 6 is shifted to the left due to the forces transmitted from the spring 5, and the edge of the element 3 presses on the ball 7 In the intermediate position of the locking means (Fig. 1c), the balls 7 and indirectly the cam 9 are free from external mechanical influences from the side of the element 3 due to the gap δ between them. In this position, the rotation of the cam 9 does not require mechanical stress. In this position, the rotation of the cam 9 will not require significant effort, will be reliable, and the energy consumption of the electromechanical means 8 will be minimal. In order to reliably and accurately determine the positions of the locking means, the electronic lock may further comprise an electronic sensor 12 that provides an electrical signal to the electronic control means 10 when the locking means 6 is set to the indicated intermediate position.

The movement of the locking means 6 to an intermediate position can, for example, be carried out under the mechanical influence of an electronic key 13, which is applied to the surface of the electronic control means 10, as shown in FIG. In this case, the electronic sensor 12 plays an important role as a trigger and synchronizer of the processes characteristic of opening / closing the electronic lock: when the sensor 12 is activated, the electronic control 10 exits stand-by mode, verifies the key, generates a control signal for electromechanical means 8 and returns to stand-by mode, which can significantly reduce the time and power consumption of processor circuits of the control 10.

The fixing means 9 can be made in the form of various designs. On figa, b shows the option when the movement of the balls 7 is carried out by means of fixing 9, made in the form of a conical-cylindrical sleeve 9, which performs reciprocating movements, being an element of a threaded pair mounted on the shaft of the motor 8.

On figs, d shows another simple variant of the fixing means, made in the form of an eccentric cam 9, mounted directly on the shaft of the engine 8. With a certain rotation of such a cam, it may go beyond the dimensions of the locking means 6 (fig.2d) and thereby prevent its movement in the sleeve of the element 3, for example, fixing the locking means 6 in the "locked" position (fig.1b).

The following figures outline the various designs of electronic locks that were made by the author using the claimed invention. These designs, however, do not limit the variety of possible devices in which the present invention can be effectively implemented.

So, on figa, b shows a cam-lock. The movable locking means is made in the form of a button 6, which is installed in the outer handle of the lock 3. To simplify the view in FIG. 3 and the following figures, the locking means 6 is shown in outline, without revealing the structure of the fixing means, which was described in FIGS. 1a-c. The handle 3 is mounted rotatably in the lock case 14 and there, coaxially with the handle 3, an output means 15 is installed with a cam plate 16 fixed thereon. A flat key 4 spring-loaded with a spring 5 is installed in the groove of the means 15 with the possibility of longitudinal movement. figa (lock state is “locked”), the locking means 6 is fixed in the right position; the key 4 is also moved to the right position, while the handle 3 and the tool 15 are not connected to each other. In this position, the handle 3 can rotate freely, and the tool 15 is connected by a key 4 with a groove in the housing 3, which does not allow the output cam 16 to rotate. In Fig. 3b (lock state is “unlocked”), the locking means 6 is shown in the right position, in wherein the key 4, remaining in the groove of the means 15, has come out of the groove of the housing 3 and partially entered the groove of the handle 3, mechanically linking the handle 3 and the means 15. In this state, the user, by rotating the handle 3, can control the position of the cam plate 16. To translate the lock from the “locked” state to the “unlocked” state okirovanie ”and vice versa, just click on the end face of the locking means 6 and move it to the far right, intermediate position, in which the locking means are unloaded (see figs). Further, depending on the command of the lock controls, the locking means will be set to the proper position and after releasing the button of the locking means 6, the return spring 5 will return the entire mechanism to one of the required states: “locked” or “unlocked”.

On figa, b shows a variant of the electronic lock in the form of a mortise euro cylinder, similar in control and design to the cam-lock type described above. The difference is only in the shape of the housing 3 and in the shape and method of installing the output cam 16. In the “unlocked” state, the handle 3 rotates freely, while the cam 16 does not have a power connection with the handle 3.

The described electronic lock device can also be embedded in locks such as the US mortise cylinder, as shown in FIGS. 5a, b. In this embodiment, the main difference lies in the design of the means 15, made in the form of a gear transmission that allows you to transfer rotation from the handle 3 to the cam 16, the axis of rotation of which are offset.

On figa, b shows another embodiment of the electronic lock in the form of a mortise cylinder, in which the handle 3 has a direct connection with the output cam 16. The difference between this design solution is that in the "locked" state, the handle 3 cannot rotate. Power fixation of the handle 3 from rotation in the housing 14 is carried out by means of a key 17 mounted on the movable locking means, as, for example, shown in Fig. 6a, b. In the "locked" state (figa), the key 17 is recessed into the groove 18 of the housing 14 and thereby blocks the rotation of the handle 3 relative to the housing. In the "unlocked" state (Fig.6b), the locking means is moved to the left, the key is pulled out of the groove 18 of the housing 14, releasing the handle 3 - the handle can rotate and control the output cam 16.

The described technical solution can be very effective and, most importantly, inexpensive, because it can be implemented as the simplest alteration of standard mortise cylinders of any type - Euro cylinders, mortise cylinders of the USA, mortise cylinders for furniture, padlocks or other locks.

In particular, the claimed invention can be implemented in the standard of the known interchangeable core (interchangeable core, see, for example, US 6442986 from 04/07/1999), which is widely used as a universal element in numerous lock designs.

As shown in FIG. 6c, the entire electronic lock mechanism can be placed in a more compact standard housing of the replaceable larva 19, which, in turn, is inserted and fixed in the main body 14 of the mortise cylinder, the latter may have different user-specific sizes. Replaceable larvae are not only a convenient tool for mortise cylinders, but also a universal solution for a large number of locks of other types - larvae for euro cylinders, larvae for furniture locks, larvae for door handles with a locking mechanism, larvae for padlocks, etc.

On figa-c shows another technical solution for the design of a replaceable larva, which also fits into the concept of the invention. A handle 3 is placed in the housing of the larva 19, having a direct connection with the output element 16. However, the rotation of the handle 3 can be blocked by a power turning key 6b, which can go into the groove of the handle 3 and block the rotation of the handle 3 in the housing 19 (Fig. 7a). The key 6b is an internal element of the composite movable locking means 6, which can be rotated around the axis 22 under the action of the external element 6a of the mobile locking means and the v-shaped return spring 20. In Fig. 7a, the key 6b is in an inclined position and blocks the rotation of the handle 3 - the lock is locked. And on figs shows the state of the lock in which the key 6b is held in a horizontal position by means of a fixation made in the form of a cam 9 on the shaft of an electric motor 8; in this position, the key 6b comes out of the groove of the handle 3, freeing it for free rotation - the lock is unlocked. To transfer the lock from the “locked” state to the “unlocked” state and vice versa, the user must click on the external element 6a of the movable locking means and set it to the extreme right position (Fig.7b). In this case, due to the kinematic connection, the element 6a, acting on the key 6b, removes it from the groove in the handle 3 and puts it into position with a small negative angle. In this position, the key 6b does not prevent the cam 9 from turning on the shaft of the electric motor 8. In addition, when the key 6b is installed in this intermediate position, the tip of the spring 20 presses the sensor 12, which in turn provides an information signal to the electronic lock control. Depending on the commands of the control means, the cam 9 will be set to hold the dowel 6b in the horizontal position (Fig. 7c) or to the position where the dowel 6b can return to the positive angle and enter the groove of the handle 3 (Fig. 7a). It should be noted that in order to prevent rotation of the handle 3 in the above-mentioned intermediate position of the locking means, when the key 6b does not interfere with the rotation of the handle 3, the movable element 6a of the locking means is configured to fix the handle 3 in this position, going into the groove 21 of the housing 19 (FIG. .7b). When the external force is removed from the movable element 6a, the return spring 23 will return it to the left starting position and it will disengage from the housing 21. One of the advantages of the described lock is that when you try to force the handle of the lock 3 in the locked state of the lock, the key 6b does not transfer significant effort to the fixing means 9, which can be made of low inertia from plastic.

Locks with ball locking of the locking means, shown, for example, in FIGS. 1-6, also contain locking means 9, which should be made low-inertia to reduce the control forces of the electromechanical means 8, but it may not be strong enough, it can be deformed or destroyed under excessive loads, when the balls are pressed into it. Such excessive power loads on the locking means and indirectly on the fixing means are possible, for example, with vandal attacks on the castle.

The group of electronic locks shown in Figs. 8-10 containing the claimed inventive concept is based on the fact that, while maintaining the described method and device for locking / unlocking the lock, the locking means further comprises a strong power stage, which, while experiencing excessive loads from the power unit lock, does not transfer them to the fixing means 9.

On figa-b shows a padlock with a removable handle 23, which can be locked in the case 24 of the castle traditional ball locks 25 for such locks with a conical-cylindrical rod 26. In the locked position of the lock of figa, balls 25 can have a significant effect on the cylindrical the surface of the rod 26, but these efforts do not have an axial component and are not transmitted to the ball elements 7 of the locking means 6. In this case, the locking / unlocking of the arm 23 is carried out in accordance with the claimed invention, through interim position of the locking means 6. To transfer the lock from the "locked" state to the "unlocked" state and vice versa, just click on the end of the locking means 6 and move it to the far right, intermediate position, in which the locking means 7 are unloaded. Further, depending on the command of the control means of the lock, the balls 7 will be installed in the proper position, and after releasing the locking means 6, the return spring 5 will transfer the entire mechanism to one of the required states: “locked” (Fig. 8a) or “unlocked” (Fig. 8b )

On figa, b shows a variant of the electronic padlock made in the form of a pin with detachable elements 27 and 28, the connection of which is carried out using the above-described power engagement device with ball clamps 25 and locking means 6, 7. This pin lock can be used as fixed lock or connector elements of various objects 29 with holes, for example as an electronic seal for locking elements of doors, gates, vehicles, etc. It is very attractive to use such a pin lock to block access to the trigger trigger in small arms, placing it in the ring surrounding the trigger. The advantage of such a lock is its ease of use - with one click on the end of the locking means with an electronic key, you can lock / unlock the removal of such a lock from object 29.

Another type of electronic lock, in which the advantages of the claimed invention are particularly pronounced, is shown in Fig. 10a, b is a lock made in the form of a cover 30 of the container 31. The cover 30 contains a locking means 6 with an end conical-cylindrical rod 26, which controls setting the positions of the power pins 32 radially sliding in the grooves of the lid body 30. FIG. 10a shows the lid locked in the container body 31, while the pins 32 hold it in this state, relying on the rod 26. To unlock and remove of the lid 30 from the container 31, the procedure already described above should be carried out many times: press the end of the locking means, transferring it to an intermediate position, and if the unlock command is followed, then after releasing its end, the locking means 6 and the rod 26 fixed on it will be pushed out by a spring 33, the studs 32, without support, will go inside the lid body 30, and thanks to the springs 34, the lid will also be partially ejected from the countersunk position of the container body 31. To lock the lid 30 in the body 31 with recessed studs after uet inserted into the housing and pressing only on the end of the locking means 6, translate it to the locked and locked to the housing 31 state.

The vandal resistance of locks and their controls is an important consumer quality. The invention allows to implement a simple and almost inaccessible for vandal lock design, with a countersunk handle, shown in figa, b. A feature of this lock is that the movable locking means 6 is made in the form of a control handle, which can be completely located and locked inside the massive external lock case plate 34 of the lock (Fig. 11a). The end face of the handle 6 may additionally contain a strong protective plate 41, so that from the outside of the door access to the elements of the lock is practically absent and protected. The unlocking of the handle 6 is carried out according to the method described in the claimed invention — after pressing the handle end to transfer the locking means to the intermediate position described above and releasing the lock from the locking means, the spring 42 partially pushes the handle 6 out of the lining body 34 (Fig. 11b). The handle 6 has a tip, made, for example, in the form of a square pin 36 threaded into the square hole of the cam 38, which controls the movement of the deadbolt 37 of the lock, as is done in various door locks, such as latches or dead-bolt locks. The rotation of the handle 6 in a secret, locked position has an additional restriction. For this, the shape of the handle 6 and the shape of the groove in the overlay 34, in which the handle 6 is hidden, can be made, for example, in the form of conformal polyhedra, so that the handle cannot rotate when it is in this secret state. If the handle 6 is to have a cylindrical shape, it is possible, for example, to additionally install the tool 39 on the handle 6, and in the cover body 34, execute a return groove 40, so that when the handle 6 is pushed into the cover 34, the tool 39 enters the groove 40 and does not allow handle 6 to rotate. Other designs are possible, for example, in which the handle 3 in the locked state does not have a power connection with the bolt, which allows in this state to control the bolt using internal handles or bypass mechanisms.

So, if the handle 6 is unlocked and pushed out of the lining 34, the user can move the deadbolt 37 by rotating the handle 6 (Fig.11b). If the handle 6 is locked in the lining 34, then it cannot control the bolt 37 and is protected from vandal influences.

Made prototypes of electronic locks described in the claimed invention. An experimental verification confirmed the high efficiency of the claimed technical solutions with respect to the significant energy savings required to lock / unlock the lock. Even batteryless locks are made in which electrical energy is transmitted from an external electronic key. Also, thanks to a very simple way of opening / closing locks, great convenience was noted for using the described locks, especially by users with disabilities (disabled). The devices are compact, have a simple design, reliable in conditions of shock and vibration, and have minimal power consumption.
