Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of the locking cylinder structure of locking pellet (Schlie β zylinder) 10 in door 12 in other words.Locking cylinder is used to: when personnel possess authority, realizes opening in other words the operation of door lock 14, to open door 12.In the case, door 12 has outside 18, from this outside, takes in this example: personnel want to realize from outside entering.Inner side 20 is opposite with outside 18, and inner side 20 shows as safety zone in this example.

Correspondingly, the outside of door 12 is such as furnished with handle (such as outside bulb 22).Outside bulb 22 has receiving system 24 and/or input unit 26 in this example, access signal or the active wireless signal of such as RFID (radio frequency identification) chip can be received by this receiving system and/or input unit, or such as can key in code by this receiving system.Then assess: transmit or input whether authorized for the code opening door 12, and when authorized, achieve and open door 12.

In order to realize opening of door 12 selectively, be set to: outside bulb 22 connects with latch member element 16 by ball head 32 in coupled position in rotation direction, and do not connect in disconnection coupled position.The ball head of the outside arranged between outside bulb 22 and latch member 16 is indicated Reference numeral 32.Ball head 32 extends in locking circular cylindrical shell 30 inside and rotates relative to locking circular cylindrical shell 30.Also can be provided with handle in the inner side of door 12, such as inner bulb 28, this inner bulb connects with latch member 16 with inner ball head 34 again.In the example shown, inner side 20 is safe.Therefore interior bulb 28 is connected with latch member 16 by inner ball head 34 constantly.Namely all the time it is possible that: operate latch member 16 by inner bulb.And contrary, between outside bulb 22 and latch member 16, be provided with connector construct 40.Outside bulb 22 should only torsionally connect with latch member 16 when there is authority by this connector structure.Thus, for connector structure 40, there is two states.The disconnection coupled position that outside bulb 22 freely can rotate around the pivot center 38 of ball head 32, another kind of then be the coupled position that outside bulb 22 torsionally connects with latch member 16.

For the structure structure in other words of connector structure 40, provide multiple feasible position, described position is with 40,40 ' and 40 " indicate.Such as connector structure can directly be arranged in outside bulb 22, and this outside bulb is connected with ball head 32 or disconnected connects.The connector structure being arranged in ball head 32 inside is represented with position 40 '.Here, two of coupling spindle 32 split axles are rabbeted or throw off interlocking by connector structure primary responsibility mutually.In addition, certainly can by with 40 " the connector structure that indicates directly is arranged on the end of coupling spindle 32, and optionally directly torsionally to embed in latch member 16 or disconnect with latch member and connect.Thus, such as obtain with 36,36 ' or 36 " indicate, for the possible position of conjunction plane.

Axis about pivot center 38 schematically indicates with X in FIG.So corresponding sagittal plane is obtained by direction in space Y and Z.

Thus, conjunction plane extends perpendicular to pivot center 38 ground of ball head in the example shown.In the prior art, connector on the circumferential surface is also known in principle.In addition, be also well known that, substitute and by connector structure element torsionally to be connected or to disconnect the mode of connection, optionally ball head 32 locked relative to locking circular cylindrical shell 30 or discharge.So locking also realizes by corresponding shell face.Thus, ball head 32 generally has the shape of cylinder.Ball head is rotatably bearing in locking circular cylindrical shell.Also there is following possibility in principle: ball head directly (namely when not being with locking circular cylindrical shell 30) is bearing in door 12.But connector structure involved is here particularly suitable for connecting on the end face of respective element.The special feature here at this point existed is, corresponding conjunction plane 36,36 ' and 36 " perpendicular to pivot center 38 ground orientation.The major advantage provided thus is the compatibility with the door 12 of any type, this is because of no need of at door 12 inside constructional measures in a radial plane.

Certainly feasible in an embodiment: inner bulb 28 constructs 40 with latch member 16 by connector and connects according to the mode of aforementioned type.In this case, be then associated with authority in inner side and in the operation of outside opposite house 12.

Fig. 2 illustrates the Another Application feasible program of connector structure 40 in the scope of the locking cylinder 10 ' of modular construction.At this, identical element indicates with identical Reference numeral, and does not again explain following.

By outside bulb 22 in connection is external, again should connect the latch member 16 for operating door lock 14.For this reason, the ball head 32 with multiple module is provided with.The module of ball head 32 can be such as connector structure 40.Another module 46 can carry latch member 16.Another module 44 can be configured to extend module according to the thickness of door 12, so that torsionally dome module 40 and 46.Connector structure optionally connects with adjacent module 44 by conjunction plane 36.So connector structure 40 can such as be installed in outside bulb 22 or on it.The module 40,44 and 46 of ball head 32 directly can be arranged in door 12 in principle.These modules also optionally can be similar to illustratively being surrounded by locking circular cylindrical shell 30 in Fig. 1.

In a comparable manner, the ball head 34 inside another is constructed by two modules.At this, module 48 connects with inner bulb 28, and such as can have full-length.In addition, module 42 is extended for mating the thickness of door 12.Can certainly be similar to the connector being provided with the Electromechanical of described structure 40 like that to the ball head 34 of inner side explained in FIG, this is the situation also ought should carrying out inquiry on inner side 20 to authority.
