description a proposed embodiment here

It must be stressed at the outset that in the following description a currently proposed embodiment, the essential Feature of the invention shows and beyond that by the figures the accompanying drawings, words and a special Terminology chosen primarily with the aim of the principle of To illustrate the invention.

Referring to the 1 and 8th These show a remote-controlled door lock 1 in which the locking arrangement is a unit suitable for remote control 10 as well as a locking unit 20 a door 2 used.

A spring-loaded bolt 81 can be between a position in which he is out of the locking unit 20 protrudes into a position in which he is in the locking unit 20 retracted, be displaced by the operation of a handle or knob.

A spring not shown here is suitable for this spring-loaded bolt 81 to push in the direction of the protruding position and a rotation of the handle 40 or a corresponding action from the normal horizontal position to a lower end position pulls the spring-loaded bolt 81 against the spring force in the direction of the retracted position.

this part 81 the locking unit 20 is not a critical part of the invention and is mentioned only occasionally in the following description.

The locking unit 20 includes in addition to an electronic circuit 2a a locking bolt 47 and certain mechanical arrangements in conjunction with the bolt shown in FIGS 4 and 5 ,

The locking unit 20 can the door 2 in a state by a locking bolt 47 in the locking unit 20 locked or alternatively not locked, with a device 46 the locking unit by an electronic circuit 2a to positions that the bolt 47 lock and / or not lock, can be relocated.

This will be closer in the following described.

Referring to 2 this shows the electronic circuit 2a which is part of the locking unit 20 the door is as a block diagram.

The electronic circuit or the unit 2a includes and uses a generator 2 B , its construction in relation to the 5 . 6 and 7 is further described, a unit 2c as a capacitor-like battery to accumulate electrical energy.

The unit 2c supplies a CPU unit 2d as well as an electromagnetic actuator 2e and a transmitting and / or receiving circuit 2f which is suitable for signal transmission over a short distance. This distance can be chosen as an arm length.

These Types of circuits are in a large number of embodiments known, and for this application will become one available under the name "Blue Tooth" RF communication circuit proposed.

The electronic unit 2a also includes a directional antenna 2g , Regarding the external electronic circuit required by the invention 3a has been shown to be part of a portable and activated unit suitable for remote control 10 is.

This one was here as a mobile phone 10a of a generally known type, in which the mobile telephone is equipped with a number of circuits suitable for telephone connection and other functions.

More generally, the cellphone unit should 10 consist of an active, portable unit which, in addition to other functions, should be able to receive an identity request and send identity information in response thereto.

The use of the invention is hereafter with a mobile phone 10a shown.

3 therefore only shows functions that directly on the remote-controlled door lock 2a and for this purpose is the use of a battery 3c , a CPU unit 3d , a signal transmitting and / or receiving circuit 3f who in the 2 shown circuit 2f corresponds, as well as an antenna 3g shown.

For remote control of the locking unit 2a Electronic circuits are used in the mobile phone 10a whose interaction continues to be related to 8th described becomes.

It is also important for the present invention that the electronic circuit 2a and the mobile phone 10a should be equipped with appropriate transmitting and / or receiving signal circuits and that the signal system used is suitable for transmission over short distances, the system marketed under the name "Blue Tooth" can be advantageously used.

To allow the decision whether a distance between the locking unit 20 and the mobile phone 10a is within a predetermined limit or range, certain arrangements are needed and will be described later.

It is referred to 4 which is a side view and partially cutaway an embodiment of a portion of a locking unit 20 showing a locking bolt 47 and an actuator 46 includes.

4 shows a handle or button 40 which makes a rotational movement about the shaft 41 can perform.

The handle 40 works with an operating arm 42 put together by a pin 43 the movement to a pedestal carrier 44 can pass on.

The carrier 44 is arranged to move by a movement of the pen 43 to be moved and carries an electromagnet 45 and an actuator pin 46 which can be actuated by the magnet.

When the actuator pin 46 in the in 4 is shown, it is obvious that the carrier 44 can make a backward and forward movement by the handle 40 is caused without the position of the bolt 47 being affected.

The bolt 47 is in this figure with its free end 47a in a suitably shaped recess 48 in a doorway 49 used, shown.

Furthermore, the bolt 47 with a groove-shaped depression 47b near the actuator pin 46 fitted.

It is now obvious that when the handle 40 is moved clockwise and the actuator pin is in the in 4 shown inactive position, only the carrier 44 will move in the direction of arrow P1. The bolt will be in the in 4 remain locked regardless of the movement of the handle 40 ,

When the actuator pin 46 in a position in the depression 47b aligned and extended, this rotation of the handle becomes 40 clockwise not just the wearer 44 move in the direction of the arrow P1, but also the bolt 47 to take part in this horizontal movement, and this will be the free end 47a to induce the recess 48 in the door frame 49 to leave and thereby brings the locking unit in a non-locking position.

4 moreover shows that in the event that the handle 40 turned counterclockwise, the carrier 44 is shifted in the direction of the arrow P2, and when the actuator pin 46 in the in 4 shown position is the carrier 44 shifted without the bolt 47 to influence.

If the bolt 47 was in a non-locked position and the actuator pin 46 is shifted to the recess 47b to penetrate, the rotation would turn the bolt 47 induce himself with his free end 47a to move into a position in the depression 48 in the door frame 49 penetrates.

With reference to the 5 . 6 and 7 becomes an example of an electric power generator and its activation by a rotary movement of the handle 40 around his shaft 41 described in more detail.

The generator was the reference number here 51 assigned and he is using a flywheel 52 connected to increase the electrical energy by increasing the torque to rotate the handle, as without flywheel 52 ,

The generator 51 and / or the flywheel 52 are with a gear 53 Mistake.

The gear 53 works with appropriate teeth 54a a dental segment 54 together.

A pen 55 is with the handle 40 connected and cooperates with a spring-loaded stop.

When the handle 40 is rotated in a clockwise direction, as in 6 shown is the pin 55 lifted up and the sector gear 54 will be in the in 6 rotated position shown.

When the toothed segment 54 to the in 6 approached position loses the stop 56 his engagement with the pen 55 and the wheel segment 54 is by a spring 57 rotated back to its initial position, causing the generator to rotate and generate the electrical energy that is in the battery pack 2c can be stored.

Regarding 8th showing a side view of a door lock with a handle 40 , a turning shaft 41 , a spring-loaded bolt 81 that directly through the normal movement of the handle 40 is actuated, the sprung bolt 81 It is meant to be the door 2 closed or to keep open when the locking bolt 47 the locking unit is in a non-locking position.

In 8th are sequential details of the sequential steps to unlock a door 2 in accordance with the teachings of the present invention using the sprung bolt 81 and the locking bolt 47 shown.

Detail "1" shows the handle 40 in a neutral position, during the sprung bolt 81 and the locking bolt 47 in locking positions in recesses 48 in the door frame 49 are used.

Detail "2" shows that the handle 40 moved to a lower position and the spring-loaded bolt 81 the door frame recess has left while the locking bolt 47 still remains in a locked position.

Detail "3" shows that the handle 40 moved back to its neutral position, the spring-loaded bolt 81 has moved back to the recess in the door frame 49 to interact and the locking bolt 47 still remains in its locking position.

Detail "4" shows that the electrical energy generated by the rotational movement from the position of detail "2" to the position of detail "3" was large enough to lock the door 20 and an electronic circuit 2a which is part of the unit to cause an identity request signal to the unit suitable for the remote control 10 or the mobile phone 10a to send.

The unit suitable for remote control 10 Now sends an identity that is valid for the mobile phone unit 10 and / or the person who is registered with the unit, and in the case that the identity sent by the electronic circuit 2a the door is accepted becomes the actuator device 46 activated in a position in which the locking bolt 47 can be moved by a rotational movement of the handle.

Detail "5" illustrates that in case of such an acceptance moving the handle 40 towards the illustrated lower position means that the spring-loaded bolt 81 as well as the locking bolt 47 can be made to move away from the door frame.

The door is now through the locking bolt 47 unlocked and another movement of the handle 40 Now only the spring-loaded bolt 81 in a position that interacts with the door frame, move or vice versa.

To explain the section of the locking, detail "7" shows the 8th that the spring-loaded bolt 81 is in a closing position while the locking bolt 47 is in a non-locked position.

By turning the handle 40 upwards towards an upper position was in 5 shown that the toothed segment 54 the gear 53 caused the generator 51 with his flywheel 52 to rotate to generate electrical energy as needed.

The electronic circuit 20 the door is configured to allow rotational movement from the normal position to the upper end position, and the power generation caused thereby is from sending an identity request signal to the remote-appropriate telephone unit 10 followed as shown in detail "8".

The unit suitable for remote control 10 then replies by sending the for the mobile phone unit 10 and / or the identity assigned to the entity, and in the event that the sent identity is determined by the electronic circuit 2a the door is accepted becomes the actuator device 46 activated in a position that the locking bolt 47 operated and caused him to be moved by the rotational movement of the handle.

The present invention therefore describes a remote-controlled door lock, which it by means of a mobile phone 10a , which serves as an "electronic key", easily makes it possible to lock or unlock one or more doors with great certainty and to record, monitor or alarm with good facilities.

The fundamental feature of the locking arrangement is the possibility the locking unit of the door without locking or unlocking an external power source, and it is therefore complete unaffected by occurring energy supply problems.

It is further apparent that the remote-controlled door lock allows a simple and cost-effective installation, since the required electronic circuit and the other mechanical details of the door are easy to install and because a mobile phone can serve as an "electronic key" if it has been easily adapted for the required signal transmission.

in the embodiment described here sets the invention therefore preceded that the mechanical energy of the rotational movement of the handle from a normal position to a lower or upper End position in a needed electrical energy or an energy pulse is transformed by Means of a DC generator designed specifically for this purpose was formed.

The Electric energy generated by the generator is stored in a battery or a capacitor stored.

This energy can be used to power the CPU unit, the signal exchange with the mobile phone 10a and the electromagnetic actuator 46 in the locking unit to activate.

In principle, the computer unit 2d in the locking unit 20 four main purposes; Information from the mobile phone 10a to send and receive a PDA unit or the like to decrypt information received from the mobile phone, the spatial position of the mobile phone 10a to measure, for example, by evaluating the received signal strength, and the actuator 46 through an electromagnet 45 to control.

In addition, there is a directional antenna for the required signal communication with the mobile phone 10a ,

The locking unit 20 may also send a lock state message to the mobile phone or alternatively to a monitoring or alarm center.

Such An alarm center can communicate with you via the Internet or GSM connected to alert notifications to a security company to send and / or with a camera taking a photo at each access attempt receives.

Around others can minimize the risk of unauthorized entry Security features to the mentioned Signal exchange added become.

It is therefore within the scope of the present invention to use a system known as the "rolling wheel code" in which the basic principle is that the mobile telephone 10a and the locking unit 20 ( 2a ) contain two identical code lists. Each time the mobile phone and the lock unit perform an unlock operation, the marks of both lists move one step down. When passing through the locking unit from the mobile phone 10a received code is the same as expected in the locking unit, the unlocking operation is performed.

It is also within the possibilities of such To introduce conditions that the locking unit, if it has an unacceptable identity code, more than a predetermined number, like three times in a row receives the locking device is blocked and is unable to Codes for to receive a predetermined time, such as one hour.

The The present invention also requires that the "electronic key" transmit its code only when the user has confirmed his authorization with a PIN code or keyboard.

In According to the present invention, it is also possible to insert the necessity that the mobile phone in question is at a proper distance from the lock must send with a certain power must and at a proper predetermined angle to Locking unit must be located.
