Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen mit einer mechanischen und einer in seiner Reide untergebrachten. nichtmechanischen Codierung versehenen Flachschlüssel sowie ein dadurch zu betätigendes Schloß, das einen entsprechende mechanische Zuhaltungen aufweisenden Schließzylinder sowie ein mit einer Decodier- bzw. Ableseeinrichtung und Energieversorgung versehenes elektronisches Speicher- und Steuersystem enthält, das über einen schloßseitig gelegenen Detektor mit einem am Schlüssel vorhandenen, mit dessen nichtmechanischer Codierung verbundenen Gegendetektor in berührungsfreie Energie- und Datenübertragung zu bringen ist.The invention relates to one with a mechanical and one housed in its reed. Flat key provided with non-mechanical coding and a lock to be actuated thereby, which contains a corresponding locking cylinder with mechanical tumblers as well as an electronic storage and control system provided with a decoding or reading device and energy supply, which has a detector on the lock side with an existing key whose non-mechanical coding connected detector is to be brought into contact-free energy and data transmission.

Mit solchen sowohl mechanisch als auch nichtmechanisch codierten Flachschlüsseln können sowohl herkömmlich mit entsprechenden mechanischen Zuhaltungen versehene Schließzylinder wie aber auch mit einem entsprechenden Elektronik-Speicher- und Steuersystem versehene Zylinderschlösser betätigt werden, wobei die nichtmechanische Codierung im Flachschlüssel als Personal- und zusätzlicher Sicherheitscode dienen kann, den das im Schloß vorhandene Elektroniksystem zu erkennen versucht und bei Übereinstimmung mit den entsprechenden darin gespeicherten Codes den Schloßriegel für seine Schlüsselbetätigung freigibt, ihn andernfalls blockiert bzw. vom Zylinderkern abgekuppelt läßt. Hierdurch wird die Schloßsicherheit wesentlich erhöht, zumal bei Verlust oder Diebstahl des persönlich codierten Schlüssels der entsprechende Code im Elektroniksystem des Schlosses leicht geändert werden kann. Auch erlaubt eine solche Schlüssel- und Schloß-Elektronik die Schloß- bzw. Riegel-Betätigung nur zu bestimmten voreingestellten Zeiten und/oder für unterschiedliche Zeiträume freizugeben bzw. zu blockieren. Wesentlich ist dabei auch, daß die Energie- und Datenübertragung über den Detektor und Gegendetektor berührungslos erfolgen, wodurch die sonst mit Übertragungskontakten verbundenen Probleme, wie insbesondere deren Verschmutzung und Verformung, vermieden werden.With such flat keys, both mechanically and non-mechanically coded, it is possible to actuate lock cylinders conventionally provided with corresponding mechanical tumblers as well as cylinder locks provided with a corresponding electronic storage and control system, the non-mechanical coding in the flat key serving as a personnel and additional security code, which the electronic system in the lock tries to recognize and, in accordance with the corresponding codes stored therein, releases the lock bolt for its key actuation, otherwise blocks it or leaves it uncoupled from the cylinder core. This significantly increases the security of the lock, especially since the corresponding code in the lock's electronic system can easily be changed if the personally coded key is lost or stolen. Such a key and lock electronics also allow the lock or bolt actuation to be released or blocked only at certain preset times and / or for different periods of time. It is also essential that the energy and data transmission via the detector and counter detector take place without contact, thereby avoiding the problems otherwise associated with transmission contacts, such as, in particular, their contamination and deformation.

Bei bekannten mechanisch und nichtmechanisch codierten Schlüsseln und dadurch zu betätigenden Schlössern obiger Art, z. B. nach der Zeitschrift Baubeschlag Magazin 11/84, S. 192', ist der mit einem in seiner Reide untergebrachten Mikroprozessor-Modul verbundene Gegendetektor im Schlüsselrücken untergebracht, der dazu eine entsprechend lange, sich annähernd über die Hälfte seines Schaftes erstreckende Aussparung besitzt. Das bedingt eine erhebliche Schwächung des Schlüsselschaftes, noch dazu in seinem durch die Schlüsseleinschnittkerben ohnehin gefährdeten Bereich. Hinzukommt noch die durch die elektrische Verbindung zwischen Gegendetektor und in der Reide untergebrachtem Modul bedingte Schwächung. Darüberhinaus erfordert diese Gegendetektor-Anordnung eine entsprechende Anordnung des Detektors im Zylinderschloß, der. dazu in einem besonderen, vorspringenden Beschlagteil untergebracht werden muß, also keinen Standard-Türbeschlag zuläßt. Nachteilig ist dabei weiterhin, daß der im Schlüsselrücken untergebrachte Gegendetektor durch die Zuhaltungsstifte im Schließzylinder mechanischen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt ist.In known mechanically and non-mechanically coded keys and thereby operated locks of the above type, for. B. according to the magazine Baubeschlag Magazin 11/84, p. 192 ', the counter detector connected to a microprocessor module housed in its reide is accommodated in the key spine, which has a correspondingly long recess that extends approximately over half of its shaft. This results in a significant weakening of the key shank, especially in its area which is at risk from the key cut notches. Added to this is the weakening caused by the electrical connection between the counter detector and the module housed in the reed. In addition, this counter-detector arrangement requires a corresponding arrangement of the detector in the cylinder lock, the. must be accommodated in a special, projecting fitting part, i.e. does not allow a standard door fitting. A further disadvantage is that the counter detector housed in the key back is exposed to mechanical stresses due to the tumbler pins in the locking cylinder.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Flachschlüssel sowie ein dadurch zu betätigendes Schloß der eingangs erwähnten Gattung zu schaffen, die unter Beibehalt ihrer mechanischen wie nichtmechanischen Codier-Vorteile die vorerwähnten Mängel nicht aufweisen, vielmehr eine wesentlich günstigere, insbesondere baulich ungeschwächte und gedrängte Ausbildung besitzen. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Detektor an der Stirnseite des Schließzylinders und der Gegendetektor in der dem Schließzylinder zugewandten Stirnseite der Schlüsselreide untergebracht sind. Auf diese Weise werden die für die berührungsfreie Energie- und Datenübertragung sorgenden exponierten Übertragungselemente vor mechanischen Beschädigungen durch die Schließzylinder-Zuhaltungsstifte bewahrt. Auch erfordern sie weder Schwächungen des Flachschlüssels noch zusätzliche Bau- oder besondere Beschlagteile auf der Schloßseite. Da sie lediglich durch den entsprechend schmal zu haltenden Luftspalt räumlich voneinander getrennt sind, ist eine gleichwohl wirksame wie energiesparende Energie-und Datenübertragung zwischen Detektor und Gegendetektor gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a flat key and a lock to be actuated thereby of the type mentioned at the outset which, while retaining their mechanical and non-mechanical coding advantages, do not have the abovementioned shortcomings, but rather a much more favorable, in particular structurally unimpaired and compact design have. This object is achieved in that the detector on the front side of the lock cylinder and the counter detector are housed in the front side of the key cylinder facing the lock cylinder. In this way, the exposed transmission elements, which ensure the contact-free transmission of energy and data, are protected from mechanical damage by the locking cylinder tumbler pins. They also do not require any weakening of the flat key or additional components or special fittings on the lock side. Since they are only spatially separated from one another by the correspondingly narrow air gap, an effective and energy-saving transmission of energy and data between the detector and counter-detector is guaranteed.

Die Erfindung kann mit besonderem Vorteil bei Profilzylindern Anwendung finden, die in bekannter Weise eine über die Stirnfläche ihres Zylindergehäuses vorspringende Zylinderkern-Stirnfläche besitzen, an der der eingesteckte Flachschlüssel mit einem an seinem Schaft vorhandenen Einsteckanschlag anliegt. Für diesen Fall wird der Detektor zweckmässig in einem an der Stirnseite des Profilzylindergehäuses angeordneten Vorsprung untergebracht, der mindestens so weit wie der Zylinderkern über die Zylindergehäuse-Stirnfläche vorsteht. Hierdurch kann die den Gegendetektor beherbergende Stirnfläche in der Schlüsselreide vollständig glatt gehalten werden, wobei der daraus nur wenig vorstehende Einsteckanschlag in Abhängigkeit vom schließzylinderseitig vorhandenen Detektor-Vorsprung dessen berührungsfreien Abstand zum Gegendetektor gewährleistet.The invention can be used with particular advantage in the case of profile cylinders which, in a known manner, have a cylinder core end surface projecting over the end surface of their cylinder housing, against which the inserted flat key lies with an insertion stop provided on its shaft. In this case, the detector is expediently accommodated in a projection which is arranged on the end face of the profile cylinder housing and which projects at least as far as the cylinder core beyond the end face of the cylinder housing. As a result, the end face harboring the counter detector in the key ring can be kept completely smooth, the insertion stop protruding only slightly from it ensuring the contact-free distance to the counter detector depending on the detector projection on the locking cylinder side.

Für die Energie- und Datenübertragung zwischen Schloß und Flachschlüssel ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Detektor und der Gegendetektor Sende- und Empfangsteile zweier aufeinander abgestimmter elektrischer Hochfrequenz-Schwingkreise im Schlüssel und Schloß sind. Bei Annäherung des am passend codierten Flachschlüssel vorhandenen Gegendetektors an den Detektor des Schloß-Schwingkreises kommt es im Schwingkreis des Flachschlüssels zu einer entsprechenden Anregung und damit Energiezufuhr, die für die Datenübertragung bzw. den Datenvergleich zwischen Schlüssel und Schloß-Elektronik erforderlich ist. Es wird also durch das Einstecken des Flachschlüssels in den Schließzylinder die Schloß-Elektronik aktiviert, d. h. in den Betriebszustand versetzt, wobei der schloßeigene Schwingkreis über den Schwingkreis im Schlüssel die Schlüsselelektronik, den Mikroprozessor und Datenspeicher mit Energie versorgt und den Datentransfer über die beiden Schwingkreise freigibt.For the energy and data transmission between the lock and flat key, it is advantageous if the detector and the counter detector are transmitting and receiving parts of two coordinated high-frequency electrical resonant circuits in the key and lock. When the counter detector present on the appropriately coded flat key approaches the detector of the lock resonant circuit, one occurs in the resonant circuit of the flat key appropriate excitation and thus energy supply, which is required for data transmission or data comparison between the key and lock electronics. It is thus activated by inserting the flat key into the lock cylinder, that is to say put into the operating state, the lock's own oscillating circuit supplying the key electronics, the microprocessor and data memory with energy via the oscillating circuit in the key and releasing the data transfer via the two oscillating circuits .

Es versteht sich aber, daß an Stelle der Hochfrequenz-Schwingkreise auch andere Energie- und Datenübertragungsverfahren möglich sind, beispielsweise über optische Mittel, wie beispielsweise Fotodioden und -transistoren, Laser bzw. Laserdioden in ausgewählten Spektralbereichen u. dgl., wobei die Datenleitung jeweils über Lichtleiter erfolgt. Auch eine akustische Energie- und Datenübertragung über Ultraschallgeber und -empfänger sowie induktive Übertragungen z. B. mittels Magnetfelder und Wiegand-Sensoren sind möglich, sowie weiterhin auch die Verwendung von Mikrowellensendern und -empfängern. Da nur sehr wenig Energie für die Datenübertragung notwendig ist, könnte diese grundsätzlich sogar im Flachschlüssel selber erzeugt werden, etwa durch manuellen Druck auf einen eingebauten Piezokristall oder auf die eine Tauchspule enthaltende Schlüsselreide.However, it goes without saying that instead of the high-frequency resonant circuits, other energy and data transmission methods are also possible, for example via optical means, such as, for example, photodiodes and transistors, lasers or laser diodes in selected spectral ranges and the like. Like., The data line is carried out via light guides. Also an acoustic energy and data transmission via ultrasound transmitter and receiver as well as inductive transmissions z. B. by means of magnetic fields and Wiegand sensors are possible, as well as the use of microwave transmitters and receivers. Since only very little energy is required for the data transmission, this could in principle even be generated in the flat key itself, for example by manual pressure on a built-in piezo crystal or on the key cord containing a moving coil.

Es sei in obigem Zusammenhang darauf hingewiesen, daß unter Detektor und Gegendetektor hier grundsätzlich alle jeweils zur Übertragung von Energien und Daten geeigneten Sende- und Empfangs- bzw. Antennenpaare verstanden werden, wobei der Energiesender generell im Schloß und der Energieempfänger in der Schlüsselreide untergebracht sein sollten.It should be pointed out in the above context that the detector and counter-detector here are understood in principle as meaning all pairs of transmitters and receivers or antennas suitable for the transmission of energy and data, the energy transmitter generally being housed in the lock and the energy receiver being housed in the key box .

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Darin zeigt

  • Fig. 1 ein Profilzylinderschloß in teilweiser Seitenansicht mit eingestecktem Flachschlüssel,

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. It shows
  • 1 is a profile cylinder lock in partial side view with inserted flat key,
  • 2 shows the front view belonging to FIG. 1 in the direction of arrow A,
  • Fig. 3 shows the flat key with longitudinally cut reed and
  • Fig. 4 is an end view in the direction of arrow A on the profile cylinder.

Der in Fig. 1 nur zum Teii in Seitenansicht dargestellte Profilzylinder 1 ist in ein nicht näher dargestelltes Türschloß eingebaut, das ein mit einer Decodier- bzw. Ableseeinrichtung und Energieversorgung versehenes elektronisches Speicher- und Steuersystem bekannter Art enthält. das über die Leitung 2 mit dem stirnseitig in einem Vorsprung untergebrachten Detektor 3 verbunden ist. Der Profilzylinder 1 ist in herkömmlicher Weise mit nicht dargestellten Stiftzuhaltungen versehen, die durch die im Flachschlüssel 4 vorhandenen Schlüsseleinschnittkerben 5 eingeordnet werden können. Durch diese Stiftzuhaltungen wird der im Schließzylindergehäuse 1' drehbeweglich gelagerte Zylinderkern 6 normalerweise blockiert, dagegen bei richtiger Einordnung' der Zuhaltungsstifte durch die Kerbeinschnitte 5 des eingesteckten Flachschlüssels 4 für seine Drehbewegung und damit die Betätigung des nicht dargestellten Schloßriegels freigegeben. Durch die im Schloß eingebaute Speicher- und Steuerelektronik kann aber verhindert werden, daß selbst bei zutreffender mechanischer Codierung des Flachschlüssels 4, also bei passenden. Schlüsseleinschnitten 5 der Schloßriegel bereits betätigt werden kann. Dazu ist vielmehr auch eine Übereinstimmung der nichtmechanischen bzw. elektronischen Codierung nötig.The profile cylinder 1 shown only partially in side view in FIG. 1 is installed in a door lock (not shown in more detail) which contains a known type of electronic storage and control system provided with a decoding or reading device and energy supply. which is connected via line 2 to detector 3, which is accommodated in a projection on the end face. The profile cylinder 1 is provided in a conventional manner with pin tumblers, not shown, which can be classified by the key cut notches 5 present in the flat key 4. By this pin tumblers of the lock cylinder housing 1 'rotatably mounted cylinder core 6 is normally blocked, on the other hand with correct classification' is of the tumbler pins released by the notch cuts 5 of the inserted flat key 4 for its rotation and thus the actuation of the lock bolt, not shown. The built-in memory and control electronics in the lock can prevent that even if the mechanical coding of the flat key 4 is correct, that is, if the key is suitable. Key cuts 5 of the lock bolt can already be operated. Rather, this requires that the non-mechanical or electronic coding match.

Der in Fig. 3 dargestellte Flachschlüssel 4 ist in seinem Schaft 4' außer mit den Schlüsseleinschnitten 5 noch mit einer entsprechenden Längsprofilierung versehen, womit er in den entsprechend längsprofilierten Schlüsselkanal 6" im Zylinderkern 6 des Profilzylinders eingeschoben werden kann. In der Schlüsselreide 4", die zweckmäßig aus einer entsprechend geformten kleinen Kunststofftasche besteht, sind die die Personal-und Sicherheitscodierung z. B. in Gestalt eines mit Mikroprozessor, Datenspeicher und Kurzzeit-Energiespeicher ausgestatteten Moduls 8 enthaltenden Elektronik-Bauteile sowie der damit verbundene Gegendetektor 7 untergebracht. Der z. B. den Teil eines entsprechenden Hochfrequenz-Schwingungsempfängers und -senders bildende Gegendetektor 7 schließt bündig mit der Stirnfläche 4'v der Schlüsselreide 4" ab. Der am Schaft des Schlüssels 4 vorhandene Einsteckanschlag 4"' steht um ein kurzes Stück über diese Stirnfläche 4'v vor und bestimmt damit bei in den Profilzylinder eingestecktem Flachschlüssel den Luftspalt zwischen dem Gegendetektor 7 und dem Detektor 3. Letzterer ragt dazu etwa soweit über die Stirnfläche 1" des Profilschließzylinders hinaus wie die Stirnfläche 6' des Zylinderkerns 6. an welcher der eingesteckte Flachschlüssel 4 mit seinem Einsteckanschlag 4"' anliegt. Das Hervorstehen des Detektors 3 über die Stirnfläche 1" des Profilzylindergehäuses 1' ist sinnvoll, um mit demselben Schlüssel 4 im Rahmen von Schließanlagen auch z. B. Rund- und Ovalzylinder betätigen zu können. Solche Zylinder haben in der Regel keinen über die Stirnfläche des Zylindergehäuses weit herausragenden Zylinderkern-Bund. Für die Betätigung dieser Zylinder ist es also zwingend, daß der Gegendetektor 7 nicht über die Stirnfläche 4'v der Schlüsselreide 4" hervorsteht.The flat key 4 shown in FIG. 3 is provided in its shaft 4 'with a corresponding longitudinal profile in addition to the key incisions 5, with which it can be inserted into the correspondingly longitudinally profiled key channel 6 "in the cylinder core 6 of the profile cylinder. In the key plate 4", which suitably consists of a suitably shaped small plastic bag, the personnel and security coding z. B. in the form of a microprocessor equipped with data storage and short-term energy storage module 8 containing electronic components and the associated detector 7. The z. B. the part of a corresponding high-frequency vibration receiver and transmitter forming counter detector 7 ends flush with the end face 4 ' v of the key ring 4 ". The insertion stop 4"' on the shaft of the key 4 is a short distance above this end face 4 ' v in front and thus determines the air gap between the counter detector 7 and the detector 3 when the flat key is inserted into the profile cylinder. The latter protrudes beyond the end face 1 "of the profile locking cylinder about as far as the end face 6 'of the cylinder core 6 at which the inserted flat key 4 with its insertion stop 4 "'. The protrusion of the detector 3 over the end face 1 "of the profile cylinder housing 1 'makes sense in order to also be able to actuate, for example, round and oval cylinders with the same key 4 in the context of locking systems. Such cylinders generally have no over the end face of the For the actuation of these cylinders it is imperative that the counter detector 7 does not protrude beyond the end face 4 ' v of the key ring 4 ".

Für die Herstellung des neuen Flachschlüssels kann vorteilhaft von herkömmlichen Schlüssel-Rohlingen ausgegangen werden, die wie Fig. 3 erkennen läßt im Bereich ihrer Reide 4" mit entsprechenden Abflachungen und Aussparungen versehen werden, in die die elektronischen Bauteile 8 bzw. der Werkstoff der die Reide 4" bildenden Tasche eingebettet und damit verbunden werden.For the production of the new flat key, conventional key blanks can advantageously be used, which, as can be seen in FIG. 3, are provided with corresponding flats and cutouts in the area of their 4 "rivet, into which the electronic components 8 or the material of the rivet are inserted 4 "forming pocket can be embedded and connected.
