Definitions
- the present invention relates to locks, in particular intended for the doors of automobiles, as well as a door control circuit adapted to this particular type of lock.
- Locks are already known, according to the preamble of claim 1, used for automobile doors and comprising a rotary bolt and a ratchet, the bolt forming a housing for a strike, the bolt being resiliently returned to an open position in which the keeper can enter or exit the bolt housing; the bolt is retained in the locking position by the pawl, the latter being resiliently returned to its position in which it retains the bolt in the locking position.
- the strike enters the housing of the bolt and pushes it towards its locking position, the pawl coming to retain the bolt in this Last Position.
- the invention relates to an electrically operated lock of this type. More precisely, whatever the moment of the failure or of the power failure, the lock according to the invention can be put in the locked position. Furthermore, this advantageous characteristic is obtained using a small number of mechanical elements which are simple, robust and reliable.
- the invention relates to a lock according to claim 1, that is to say comprising a rotary bolt and a pawl, the bolt forming a strike housing and being resiliently returned to an open position in which the strike can freely enter in or out of the bolt, the pawl retaining the bolt in the locked position and being itself returned to the position in which it locks the bolt.
- the lock further comprises an electric control which comprises an electric motor driving a speed reducer coupled by a clutch to an output pinion which meshes with a ratchet operating rack.
- the lock further comprises a means for returning the rack from a second position, in which it separates the pawl from the bolt and thus allows the door to be opened, to a first position, in which the pawl retains the bolt in the locked position.
- the clutch is disengaged and the return means returns the rack to its first position.
- the bolt comprises a cam finger which, when the bolt approaches its open position, spreads the pawl beyond the position in which the rack has placed it, so that the pawl is no longer in contact with it; this feature eliminates all constraints on the rack and ensures proper disengagement of the latter relative to the speed reducer.
- the pawl has an operating finger, controlled by the rack, and a hook turned towards the bolt and intended to hold it
- the bolt has a nose intended to be held by the hook of the pawl, and a finger cam, the nose and the cam finger being placed on either side of the bolt housing, the transverse dimension of the finger being greater than that of the nose so that, when the bolt takes its open position, the finger cam pushes the pawl beyond the position in which the pawl hook releases the bolt nose.
- the return means comprises a spring.
- the invention also relates to a circuit for controlling an electrically controlled lock, in particular a lock of the aforementioned type, that is to say a lock having an operating member moved in one direction by an electric control. and automatically called back the other way.
- this control circuit comprises a timed relay intended to close, for a determined time, an electrical circuit which comprises, in series, an electrical supply line with a first polarity, a movable contact of the relay, a member push button control (s), the electric motor of the lock, and a power supply line with a second polarity.
- the push button control member advantageously comprises two push buttons mounted in parallel, allowing, for example, one for internal control and the other for external door control.
- the circuit When the circuit is intended to control several locks, it comprises a single time relay and a single current draw detector, and it comprises several circuits connected in parallel and each comprising a push-button control member and an electric motor for lock.
- the circuit it is also advantageous for the circuit to include a locking switch.
- this locking switch is placed in the part of the circuit which is common, for example near the time relay.
- Figures 1 to 3 represent, in three positions different during operation, the main members of an electrically controlled lock according to the invention.
- the lock comprises a bolt 10 which can pivot around an axis 12 fixed relative to the body of the lock.
- the bolt comprises a nose 14 and a cam finger 16 which delimits between them a housing 18 intended to contain a keeper 20.
- a spring recalls the bolt 10 in the direction of arrow 22.
- a pawl 24 can pivot around an axis 26 which is also fixed relative to the body of the lock.
- the pawl has a hook 28 and an operating member or lever 30.
- the pawl 24 is returned by a spring (not shown) in the direction of arrow 32.
- An operating member is constituted by a rack 34. More specifically, this rack which is intended to move in the direction of the arrow 36, comprises a part 38 allowing manual control of the lock and a stop 40 intended to operate the lever 30 of the pawl 24.
- the rack 34 has teeth 42 which mesh with a pinion 44; it is mounted on a clutch 46, itself coupled to the electric motor 50 by a reduction gear 48 comprising several gears.
- the clutch which is advantageously of the type described in detail in French patent application 24 85 128 essentially comprises an external hollow cylindrical member forming a clutch drum 52, and pads 54 intended to come into contact with the internal surface of the drum 52. These pads 54 are normally spaced from this internal surface by a spring 56, but they can be pushed against this surface despite the opposing force of the spring 56 by a pallet 58 mounted on the shaft 60 of the output of the reducer 48. note thus that, when the engine is running, it causes the rotation of the pallet 58, which comes to apply the pads 54 against the drum 52.
- the keeper 20 When the door is pushed to be closed, the keeper 20 enters the housing 18 and causes the latch to tilt to the position shown in FIG. 1.
- the electrical control operates only for a very short time, that is to say for the time necessary for the opening operation of the lock.
- the motor 50 is not powered for the rest of the time.
- this interruption has no effect on the operation of the lock. If this cut takes place during the very short instant of the command, the operator can himself maneuver the member 34 by its part 38 which protrudes. This preferably protrudes inside when it is a lock mounted in a vehicle so that the door can always be opened from the inside, for safety reasons, but cannot be opened from the outside.
- the lock described does not have the drawback of preventing the doors from closing in the event of a power failure. It should only be powered for a very short time.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show a practical embodiment of an electrically operated lock according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 represents the return spring 62 of the bolt and the pawl return spring 64. In addition, it indicates the presence of connectors 66 for powering the motor 50.
- a bellows 68 provides protection for the operating member 34.
- the invention also relates to a control circuit particularly suitable for locks of the type described above.
- FIG. 7 represents the circuit necessary for the control of two doors. Of course, any number of these circuits can be connected in parallel as suggested in FIG. 7.
- the circuit essentially comprises, from a power supply line 78 of a first polarity, for example positive, a movable contact 80 of a time relay 82.
- This contact is mounted in series with a switch 84 for general locking which, when open, prevents operation throughout the circuit.
- This switch is normally controlled by a barrel controlled by a key.
- a plurality of switches 84 may be provided, the assembly then being associated with an electronic processing unit in order to be able to lock or unlock the vehicle from several points, for example on both sides of the vehicle, from the inside and / or from the exterior, and by various means such as key, frieze zipper, central locking button, infrared remote control or the like.
- the circuit comprises the two push buttons 72, 74 mounted in parallel, the electric motor of the lock 70 and the power supply line 86 of the other polarity, negative for example.
- This circuit is normally open. Even if the switch 84 is closed, and even if one of the push-buttons 72, 74 is pressed, as long as the contact 80 of the relay is not closed, the lock 70 cannot be controlled.
- a call detection member 88 is mounted in parallel with respect to the contact 80 of the relay.
- This detector member 88 which has a high impedance, is intended to detect the closure of the circuit which comprises, from line 78, the detector 88, the switch 84, the push buttons 72 and 74 mounted in parallel, the lock 70 and line 86.
- pressing one or other of the push buttons 72, 74 causes this circuit to close.
- a current of low intensity then flows through the detector member 88.
- the motor of the lock 70 then causes the lifting of the pawl which allows the opening of the door.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating this operation.
- the abscissa represents time T; the ordinate simply represents, in arbitrary form, the two possible stages, opening and closing, of a push button 72, 74 (upper curve) and of the contact 80 (lower curve).
- the time relay closes the contact 80 for a time T which is sufficient for the motor 50 of the lock to be able to move the rack 34 and cause the lock to open.
- contact 80 opens, even if the push-button continues to be held down for a certain time.
- timed relay closing a contact for a first period and then remaining insensitive for a second period are well aware of various types of timed relay closing a contact for a first period and then remaining insensitive for a second period.
- the lock control circuit is very simple since it comprises, for each door, only the lock and two push buttons.
- the circuit common to all the doors has only a time relay and a call detection device. The operation of the circuit can therefore be very reliable, without its price being high.
