Abstract

The electronic door key has a casing (1) and a key blade (4) pivoted to the casing between a retracted position in a recess in the casing and an extended position for use in a lock. The pivot mounting has recesses to allow the extended key to be set back slightly into the casing. The key is fitted into the locking recesses by movement directly back towards the casing.

Description

La présente invention concerne une clé électronique à insert métallique pivotant.The present invention relates to an electronic key with a pivoting metal insert.

On connaít déjà, notamment des documents FR 2597537A, FR 2609304A, BE 4226579, des clés électroniques à insert pivotant ou coulissant.We already know, in particular documents FR 2597537A, FR 2609304A, BE 4226579, electronic keys with swivel or sliding insert.

Ces clés électroniques présentent l'avantage d'avoir un très faible encombrement, étant donné que leur insert métallique est escamoté dans un boítier qui contient les composants électroniques constituant la clé électronique.These electronic keys have the advantage of having a very small footprint, given that their metal insert is retracted into a box which contains the electronic components constituting the electronic key.

L'insert métallique n'est utilisé que pour le déblocage du volant et le démarrage du moteur, ainsi que, de façon très occasionnelle, en cas de panne de la clé électronique, pour ouvrir les portières.The metal insert is only used for unlocking the steering wheel and starting the engine, as well as, very occasionally, in the event of a failure of the electronic key, to open the doors.

Les dispositifs connus de ce type posent des problèmes de maintien de l'insert dans sa position sortie, c'est-à-dire sa position dans laquelle ledit insert doit être engagé et pivoté dans un barillet de serrure pour l'actionner.Known devices of this type pose problems of maintaining the insert in its extended position, that is to say its position in which said insert must be engaged and swiveled in a lock cylinder to activate it.

En plus de cet inconvénient principal, les systèmes connus s'avèrent quelquefois insuffisamment compacts.In addition to this main drawback, known systems sometimes prove to be insufficiently compact.

La présente invention vise à fournir une clé électronique à insert escamotable qui ne présente pas les inconvénients rappelés ci-dessus.The present invention aims to provide an electronic key with retractable insert which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above.

La présente invention a pour objet une clé électronique à insert escamotable comprenant un boítier et un insert relié au boítier par une liaison permettant audit insert de pivoter entre une position rentrée dans laquelle il est contenu dans un logement prévu à cet effet sur le boítier et une position sortie dans laquelle il dépasse du boítier pour être introduit dans une serrure, ladite clé étant caractérisée en ce que la liaison comprend des moyens d'encastrement qui permettent à l'insert en position sortie de s'encastrer partiellement dans le boítier.The present invention relates to an electronic key with retractable insert comprising a housing and an insert connected to the housing by a link allowing said insert pivot between a retracted position in which it is contained in a housing provided for this purpose on the housing and an extended position in which it protrudes from the housing to be introduced into a lock, said key being characterized in that the connection comprises embedding means which allow the insert in the extended position to be embedded partially in the housing.

Avantageusement, le mouvement nécessaire à l'encastrement de l'insert consiste à translater ce dernier en direction du boítier. Cette caractéristique particulière de l'invention a pour résultat intéressant que l'encastrement de l'insert se produit systématiquement, même dans le cas où l'utilisateur a commencé à introduire l'insert dans le barillet de la serrure sans préalablement l'avoir verrouillé dans sa position sortie.Advantageously, the movement necessary for embedding the insert consists to translate the latter in the direction of the housing. This particular characteristic of the invention has the interesting result that the inserting of the insert occurs systematically, even if the user has started to insert the insert in the lock cylinder without first having locked it in its extended position.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la liaison comprend également des moyens d'encastrement de l'insert en position rentrée, l'insert ne pouvant quitter cette position rentrée encastrée que par un mouvement de translation le ramenant en position rentrée non encastrée, à partir de laquelle il peut pivoter en position sortie.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the link comprises also means for embedding the insert in the retracted position, the insert cannot leave this retracted recessed position only by a translational movement bringing it back in the retracted, non-recessed position, from which it can pivot in the extended position.

Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va en décrire maintenant un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de trois quarts d'une clé électronique selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • les figures 2 à 5 sont des vues en coupe selon II-II de la figure 1 montrant quatre positions successives de l'insert,
  • la figure 6 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 du boítier sans l'insert.
In order to better understand the invention, we will now describe an embodiment given by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of three quarters of an electronic key according to an embodiment of the invention,
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 are sectional views along II-II of FIG. 1 showing four successive positions of the insert,
  • Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 1 of the housing without the insert.

Le boítier 1 représenté sur le dessin présente une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique. Il contient différents composants électroniques qui permettent l'actionnement à distance des serrures des portières d'un véhicule. Le détail de ces composants ne sera pas fourni ici.The housing 1 shown in the drawing has a shape substantially parallelepiped. It contains various electronic components which allow remote actuation of vehicle door locks. The detail of these components will not be provided here.

Le boítier 1 comporte, sur l'une de ses deux grandes faces 2, un logement 3 débouchant latéralement, conformé pour contenir un insert métallique ou plastique 4 coopérant avec un barillet mécanique (non représenté).The housing 1 comprises, on one of its two large faces 2, a housing 3 opening laterally, shaped to contain a metal or plastic insert 4 cooperating with a mechanical barrel (not shown).

Le logement 3 formé dans le boítier a une profondeur très légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur de l'insert 4.The housing 3 formed in the housing has a depth slightly greater than the thickness of the insert 4.

Dans le cas présent, l'insert comporte essentiellement une première partie 5, généralement parallélépipédique, et une deuxième partie 6 plus petite, également parallélépipédique mais dont les angle sont tronqués, raccordée à la première partie par un étranglement 7.In the present case, the insert essentially comprises a first part 5, generally parallelepiped, and a second part 6 smaller, also parallelepipedic but whose angles are truncated, connected to the first part by a choke 7.

Il est bien entendu que la forme de l'insert représenté ici n'est qu'un exemple non limitatif.It is understood that the shape of the insert shown here is only an example not limiting.

En amont de sa première partie 5, l'insert comporte une base 8 en forme de T dont la branche horizontale 9 est conformée en portion de cylindre de sorte qu'elle forme un axe de pivotement pour l'insert métallique ou plastiqueUpstream of its first part 5, the insert has a T-shaped base 8, the horizontal branch 9 is shaped as a portion of a cylinder so that it forms a pivot pin for metal or plastic insert

La première partie 5 de l'insert forme, de part et d'autre de l'embase 8, un épaulement 10 dont la fonction sera décrite ultérieurement.The first part 5 of the insert forms, on either side of the base 8, a shoulder 10 whose function will be described later.

Le logement 3 formé dans le boítier comprend deux régions allongées correspondant chacune à l'une des deux parties parallélepipédiques 5, 6 de l'insert, et une embouchure 11 coopérant avec la base de l'insert pour former une liaison pivotante, comme cela va maintenant être décrit.The housing 3 formed in the housing comprises two elongated regions each corresponding to one of the two parallelepipedic parts 5, 6 of the insert, and a mouth 11 cooperating with the base of the insert to form a pivoting connection, as will now be described.

Plus précisément, l'embouchure est formée par deux rebords 12 qui se font face et comportent chacun sur sa face intérieure un trou oblong 13 situé en regard du trou oblong de l'autre rebord. Chaque trou oblong 13 a un diamètre sensiblement égal à celui de l'axe de pivotement 9 de l'insert et un grand diamètre.More specifically, the mouth is formed by two flanges 12 which face each other and each have on their inner face an oblong hole 13 located opposite the oblong hole on the other ledge. Each oblong hole 13 has a diameter substantially equal to that of the axis pivot 9 of the insert and a large diameter.

Chaque rebord 12 comporte en outre une face supérieure arrondie 14 qui sert de guide à l'insert lorsqu'il pivote autour de son axe de pivotement 9 engagé dans les trous oblongs 13 des deux rebords. Each rim 12 further comprises a rounded upper face 14 which serves as guide to the insert when it pivots about its pivot axis 9 engaged in the holes oblong 13 of the two edges.

En effet, l'insert prend alors appui par son épaulement 10 sur les faces arrondies 14 des rebords 12.Indeed, the insert then takes support by its shoulder 10 on the rounded faces 14 of the edges 12.

On remarque que les deux rebords 12 sont réunis par une embase 15 et forment avec cette dernière une pièce d'un seul tenant qui est fabriquée séparément puis engagée dans le boítier par insertion en force ou par collage, après que l'arbre de pivotement 9 de l'insert a été introduit dans les trous oblongs 13 par déformation élastique de ladite pièce pour écarter les deux rebords l'un de l'autre.Note that the two flanges 12 are joined by a base 15 and form with the latter a single piece which is manufactured separately and then engaged in the housing by force insertion or by gluing, after the shaft pivot 9 of the insert was introduced into the oblong holes 13 by elastic deformation of said piece to separate the two edges from one another.

A côté des deux trous oblongs, du côté extérieur au logement, chaque rebord 12 délimite une échancrure 16 dont l'épaisseur correspond à celle de la première partie de l'insert. La profondeur des deux échancrures 16 est telle qu'elles peuvent contenir l'épaulement 10 précédemment cité de la première partie de l'insert, en l'immobilisant sous les deux rebords 12.Next to the two oblong holes, on the outside of the housing, each flange 12 defines a notch 16 whose thickness corresponds to that of the first part of the insert. The depth of the two notches 16 is such that they can contain the previously cited shoulder 10 of the first part of the insert, immobilizing it under the two edges 12.

La longueur axiale des échancrures 16 est choisie suffisamment importante pour que l'épaulement de l'insert s'y engage franchement.The axial length of the notches 16 is chosen to be large enough to that the shoulder of the insert engages frankly.

Cette longueur détermine le grand diamètre des trous oblongs, lesquels doivent permettre le débattement en translation de l'arbre de pivotement sur une amplitude correspondante.This length determines the large diameter of the oblong holes, which must allow the displacement in translation of the pivot shaft over an amplitude corresponding.

L'autre extrémité du logement 3 est couverte par une paroi 17 qui prolonge la grande face du boítier. Cette paroi a été délimitée par un trait interrompu sur la figure 6 pour faciliter sa localisation. La fonction de cette paroi 17 est d'emprisonner l'extrémité distale 18 de l'insert lorsque ce demier est placé en position rentrée dans le logement, afin de l'encastrer comme cela va être décrit. La longueur de la paroi 17 dans l'axe longitudinal du logement correspond sensiblement à celle des échancrures délimitées par les rebords et à l'amplitude de translation autorisée par le grand diamètre des trous oblongs.The other end of the housing 3 is covered by a wall 17 which extends the large face of the case. This wall has been delimited by a broken line in Figure 6 to facilitate its localization. The function of this wall 17 is to trap the end distal 18 of the insert when the latter is placed in the retracted position in the housing, in order to embed it as will be described. The length of the wall 17 in the axis longitudinal of the housing corresponds substantially to that of the notches delimited by the edges and the amplitude of translation authorized by the large diameter of the holes oblong.

En référence aux figures 2 à 5, on va maintenant décrire comment l'insert métallique ou plastique 4 peut passer de sa position rentrée à sa position sortie.With reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, we will now describe how the insert metallic or plastic 4 can pass from its retracted position to its extended position.

En position rentrée encastrée, représentée à la figure 2, l'insert métallique est intégralement compris dans le logement. Son extrémité distale 18 est engagée sous la paroi 17 de fermeture du boítier et son axe de pivotement 9 est calé contre l'extrémité des trous oblongs 13 dirigée vers l'intérieur du logement.In the recessed retracted position, shown in Figure 2, the metal insert is fully included in the accommodation. Its distal end 18 is engaged under the wall 17 for closing the housing and its pivot axis 9 is wedged against the end of the oblong holes 13 directed towards the interior of the housing.

Dans cette position, l'insert ne peut subir qu'une translation dirigée vers l'extérieur du logement afin d'atteindre la position rentrée non encastrée représentée à la figure 3 dans laquelle l'axe de pivotement 9 est calé contre l'extrémité des trous oblongs dirigée vers l'extérieur du logement et l'extrémité distale 18 de l'insert est dégagée de la paroi de fermeture 17. In this position, the insert can only undergo a translation directed outwards of the housing in order to reach the non-recessed retracted position shown in FIG. 3 in which the pivot axis 9 is wedged against the end of the oblong holes directed towards the outside of the housing and the distal end 18 of the insert is released from the wall of closing 17.

L'insert peut alors pivoter autour de son axe de pivotement 9 pour atteindre la position représentée à la figure 4, dans laquelle il est sorti mais non verrouillé.The insert can then pivot around its pivot axis 9 to reach the position shown in Figure 4, in which it is released but not locked.

L'axe de pivotement 9 est toujours calé contre l'extrémité extérieure des trous oblongs.The pivot axis 9 is always wedged against the outer end of the holes oblong.

En faisant subir à l'insert une translation dirigée vers l'intérieur du logement, on le déplace vers le logement et son épaulement 10 pénètre dans les échancrures 16 délimitées par les rebords 12, tandis que son axe de pivotement 9 vient se caler contre l'extrémité intérieure des trous oblongs.By subjecting the insert to a translation directed towards the interior of the housing, it is moves towards the housing and its shoulder 10 penetrates into the notches 16 delimited by the flanges 12, while its pivot axis 9 comes to wedge against the inner end of the oblong holes.

L'insert s'encastre ainsi dans le boítier, pour atteindre une position d'utilisation dans laquelle il ne peut plus pivoter.The insert thus fits into the housing, to reach a position of use in which it can no longer pivot.

L'insert peut alors être utilisé pour actionner une serrure mécanique.The insert can then be used to actuate a mechanical lock.

Pour ramener l'insert en position rentrée, on procède aux étapes inverses, dans l'ordre inverse de celui qui vient d'être décrit, pour le faire passer successivement par les positions représentées aux figures 5, 4, 3, et 2.To return the insert to the retracted position, the reverse steps are carried out, in the reverse order to that just described, to pass it successively through the positions shown in Figures 5, 4, 3, and 2.

Le mode de réalisation décrit ci-dessus n'est fourni qu'à titre d'exemple pour bien faire comprendre l'invention, laquelle n'est aucunement limitée aux caractéristiques particulières fournies.The embodiment described above is only provided as an example for good explain the invention, which is in no way limited to the characteristics particulars provided.
