Definitions

  • the invention relates to combination security locks intended to equip the doors of vaults, safes and other security enclosures, locks comprising at least one bolt suitable for cooperating with an appropriate strike and at least one barrel suitable for receiving a key rotary control.
  • said operating means are of a mechanical type and therefore consist of complicated, bulky, heavy, fragile and expensive systems.
  • the object of the invention is, above all, to make locks of the kind in question such that they eliminate these drawbacks, that is to say that they are less bulky, less heavy, more economical and just as reliable as those previously known.
  • the locks of the type in question according to the invention are essentially characterized in that the means used to exploit for the purposes of decoding the sequence of the stresses exerted on the key are of an electrical type, preferably very low consumption.
  • the invention includes, apart from these main provisions, certain other provisions which are preferably used at the same time and which will be more explicitly discussed below.
  • the illustrated security lock mounted on a door 1 itself pivoting about a vertical axis not shown, comprises at least one bolt 2 suitable for coagulating, for the closed position of the door, with a horizontal keeper 3 hollowed out opposite this bolt in the jamb 4 or in a part integral with this jamb.
  • the bolt 2 is integral with a vertical plate 5 known as a bolt holder, itself mounted in the door so as to be able to slide horizontally but not vertically.
  • the locking and unlocking operations that is to say the commands for the horizontal movements of the bolt 2 are ensured by vertically moving the rod 6, said bolt occupying its extended, working, or “locked” position. which corresponds to the closing of the door when the rod 6 is in its extreme low position illustrated in solid lines in FIG. 1, and on the contrary its retracted, resting, or “unlocked” position corresponding to the opening of the door, when the rod is in its high position to which the light 9 shown in dashed lines corresponds in FIG. 1.
  • This hole can pass through the door if you want the lock to be operable on both sides of it.
  • each notch 14 is given a greater value to the diameter of the pins 13 and / or the profile of at least the extreme tooth is given, of the rack, overlapped by the pins 13 for the fully locked state of the lock., a special shape with thinned foot (see figure 2).
  • the rod 6 remains blocked vertically, either that a mechanical obstacle prevents its movements, or that a coupling system interposed between the key and said rod remains disengaged.
  • the opening code is displayed on the lock by exerting a sequence of angular stresses on the key. These stresses, which have identical amplitudes and forces, are exerted, one in a first direction A and the others in the opposite direction B: this sequence of stresses is for example composed of three, four or five trains or " successive puffs each comprising a predetermined number (generally between 1 and 9) of stresses in the same direction, the directions of angular stresses making up successive trains being closely opposed close.
  • each of the stresses considered results in the actuation of an electromechanical transducer 16 or 17, actuation capable of generating an electrical pulse.
  • Each transducer 16 or 17 can be constituted in any desirable manner capable of transforming the movement of a mechanical part into an electrical pulse: it is for example a switch connected to an electrical supply circuit (switch involving in particular the cooperation of at least one conductive pad of the key with at least two conductive balls housed in radial bores of the barrel and urged against the key by conductive springs, electrically connected to said circuit), or else of a member capable of operating , for the purpose of creating an electrical pulse, the variations of a contact pressure (electromechanical transducer proper), or that of a capacity, whether or not equipped with an electret (case where the transducer can be designated as d 'an "electrostatic” type), or that of a magnetic circuit capable in particular of generating a voltage by Hall effect (electromagnetic transducer), etc.
  • switch involving in particular the cooperation of at least one conductive pad of the key with at least two conductive balls housed in radial bores of the barrel and urged against the key
  • cam 18 which can be rotated by this key, that is to say linked angularly to the rotor of the lock, in particular by means of of three pinions 19, 20 and 21 taken in pairs.
  • the profile of the cam 18, visible in FIG. 3, is entirely convex and has the shape of a circle from which a crescent with shortened horns would have been removed.
  • the sequence of electrical pulses generated by the transducers 16 and 17 is compared with a reference code previously recorded in an electronic assembly.
  • This assembly is arranged so as to deliver an electrical signal S for unlocking the bolt when the conformity between the actual sequence of pulses due to the angular displacements of the key and the reference code is observed.
  • wired “logic” consisting of circuits 24 to 31 above, discrete or integrated, could be replaced by programmed logic with microprocessors: this latter construction has the advantage of a very small volume, which allows it to be mounted in a small mortise hollowed out in the edge of the door concerned; it also has the advantage of a very low consumption, in particular when it is associated with means ensuring its automatic setting in the state of "waking” or rather of “sleeping” after a certain delay after the first impulse decoding: it is known that, for such a state, the electrical consumption is practically zero, being limited to that just sufficient to conserve the memories; a special circuit is then of course provided to "wake up" the assembly at the start of each decoding.
  • the signal S is used to mechanically unlock the rod 6.
  • An electromagnet 32 is used for this purpose, the winding 33 of which is connected to the actuator 31 so that it can be excited by the signal S and the core 34 of which is constantly stressed horizontally by a spring 35 in the direction d 'a light 36 hollowed out in the rod 6.
  • a latch 37 is suspended from a rivet 38 planted in the rod so as to be able to be moved vertically relative to the latter and to be able to occupy either a low position for which it blocks the entry of the light 36, or a high position for which it releases this entry.
  • the latch 37 is then in its high relative position and rests on the core 34.
  • the production of the signal S has the effect of exciting the electromagnet 32 and displacing its core to the right in Figure 5 by compressing the spring 35, and this enough to release the latch 37, which then falls by simple gravity and comes to occupy its low position between the core 34 and the light 36 ( Figure 6).
  • the latch 27 comes to rest on the core, which interrupts its downward travel while the light 36 pursues its own until it reaches horizontally opposite the core: the latter then enters again and the system is reset, the rod then being blocked vertically.
  • this latch could be directly mounted on a tail secured to the bolt 2, in particular in the case where the lock does not include a rod.
  • an electric motor can be used, the rotor of which can be driven angularly in a well-defined direction when '' it is powered by an electrical impulse, this rotor carrying a radial arm 40 adapted to cooperate with a cleat 41 secured to a locking finger fulfilling the role of the core 34 above: this finger, always stressed in the direction of blocking of the rod 6 by the spring 35 above, is no longer then biased in the opposite direction by excitation of a winding such as 33, but by the thrusts of the arm 40 on its cleat 41.
  • the signal S does not command a mechanical unlocking of the bolt: it excites a clutch interposed on the kinematic chain of the members included between the rotary control key and the bolt, or more precisely between the rotary cylinder of the lock and the disc with pins, so as to mechanically link these different elements together, the normal state of said clutch, corresponding to the locked position of the lock, being its disengaged state for which the key turns "crazy" in the lock.
  • This clutch is advantageously provided at the level of the intermediate pinion 20 above, which is then composed of two identical elementary coaxial pinions integral respectively with two coupling members capable of being disengaged mutually when the lock is locked and on the contrary mutually clutched for the bolt maneuvers.
  • Neutralization means controllable at the initiative of the user when the lock is open, are provided for this purpose.
  • this electromagnet can be composed itself of two single-acting electromagnets mounted so as to act in two opposite directions on the same core or moving element: in the latter case, the control signal S above still ensures the unlocking of the lock, but it is necessary apply a second signal to the electromagnet to control the subsequent subsequent locking of the lock.
  • This second signal can be automatically generated by the return of the rod to its starting position, for example by closing an electrical contact: it is then easy to provide means, such as a simple switch connected in series with. contact and accessible to the user only when the door is open, to temporarily prohibit the production of the second signal.
  • a motor 39 could also be used.
  • a single arm 40 such as that shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5, capable of occupying two stable angular positions mutually offset by 180 degrees, and rotating 180 degrees each time an electrical pulse is received: for one of these two positions, its arm 40 pushes the stop 41 so as to disengage the locking finger 34 from the light 36 and to keep it thus released, while, for its other position, the arm 40 is retracted out of the path of the stop 41, which again allows blocking.
  • the end of the arm 40 can be bevelled, as illustrated, so as to facilitate the escapements of this arm at the end of the training phases of the cleat 41.
  • Said circuit also comprises unidirectional means 49, 50 suitable for protecting the assembly against an error in the direction of connection of the emergency power supply and means for protection against overvoltages such as a Zener diode 51, a spark gap, a varistor, diodes ...
  • one such effect may be the neutralization of the bolt blocking means, so that the key holder remains able to open the door even when the battery is too old;
  • another such effect advantageously combined with the previous one, can be the triggering of a signal capable of alerting the user of the wear of the battery at the instant when the latter opens the door with his key.
  • the electrical power consumed by the above decoding and unlocking systems is extremely low: this is how, in the standby state, the electrical circuits generally consume a few microamps only at a few volts, and that, during maneuvers for decoding and unlocking, the electrical energy involved is generally much less than 0.05 joules.
  • the above lock is arranged in such a way that its reference code can be easily modified on the initiative of the owner of the key.
  • the memory 28 is chosen of a type such that its content of addressed numbers can be easily replaced by another, or is mounted by in such a way that it can itself be easily replaced by another memory, when, of course, the door is opened.
  • said memory can be constituted by modifiable contacts made using switches or coding wheels.
  • the memory is provided of a type such that its content can be electrically modified through a connector located in a part of the door, accessible only when the latter is open .
  • the memory can be constituted by an electronic assembly or by a network of conductive paths, resistors and / or diodes, each of these solutions being suitable for prior programming and for mounting in the form of a plug-in box such as those usually produced in the field of integrated circuits.
  • lock rotor and its control key are themselves established in relation to each other in a way that is difficult to identify and imitate, as well as well known in the field of locksmithing.
