Description
L'invention concerne une clé de serrure, comprenant un corps de clé et un insert destiné à être inséré dans le verrou d'une serrure.The invention relates to a lock key, comprising a key body and a insert intended to be inserted into the lock of a lock.
La clé selon l'invention est plus particulièrement destinée au verrouillage et/ou au déverrouillage d'ouvrants d'un véhicule automobile. Aujourd'hui, ce type de clé a un corps de clé pourvu de composants électroniques pour ajouter des fonctionnalités à la clé. Ainsi, on connaít des clés ayant un corps de clé dans lequel est montée une télécommande infrarouge pour commander le verrouillage et le déverrouillage du véhicule à distance, par simple pression sur un bouton poussoir qui est intégré au corps de clé. Dans les systèmes d'accès dits "mains libres", on connaít encore des clés dont le corps de clé comprend un organe d'identification électronique émetteur/récepteur destiné à échanger des données à distance et sans fil avec un dispositif de reconnaissance monté dans le véhicule de telle façon que le verrouillage et le déverrouillage du véhicule puisse être réalisé sur la base d'une authentification à distance de l'organe d'identification par le dispositif de reconnaissance.The key according to the invention is more particularly intended for locking and / or unlocking the doors of a motor vehicle. Today, this type of key has a key body provided with electronic components for add functionality to the key. Thus, we know keys having a body key in which is mounted an infrared remote control for control the locking and unlocking of the vehicle remotely, by single push of a push button which is integrated into the key body. In so-called "hands-free" access systems, there are still keys whose key body includes an electronic identification member transmitter / receiver for remote and wireless data exchange with a recognition device mounted in the vehicle in such a way that the vehicle can be locked and unlocked on the basis for remote authentication of the identification unit by the recognition device.
L'utilisation de l'insert de telles clés de serrure est de plus en plus marginale.The use of the insert of such lock keys is increasingly marginal.
On connaít du document US 5, 561, 331 une clé de serrure comprenant un corps de clé et un insert destiné à être inséré dans le verrou d'une serrure, un écran d'affichage étant monté dans le corps de clé et l'insert étant monté mobile par rapport au corps de clé entre une position de repos dans laquelle l'insert est logé dans le corps de clé et une position d'utilisation dans laquelle l'insert est extrait du corps de clé.We know from document US 5, 561, 331 a lock key comprising a key body and an insert intended to be inserted into the lock of a lock, a display screen being mounted in the key body and the insert being mounted movable relative to the key body between a rest position in which the insert is housed in the key body and a position for use in which the insert is extracted from the key body.
Le but de l'invention est de protéger ce type de clé des agressions mécaniques.The object of the invention is to protect this type of key from mechanical attacks.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une clé de serrure telle que définie
dans la revendication 1. Son écran d'affichage qui est ainsi protégé des
agressions mécaniques par l'insert peut servir à afficher des informations sur
le véhicule telles que par exemple l'état verrouillé ou non verrouillé du
véhicule. L'insert peut être monté coulissant ou pivotant par rapport au corps
de la clé. De préférence, l'insert est en matière plastique afin d'en réduire
encore le coût de fabrication. La clé peut comprendre un interrupteur qui est
fermé seulement quand l'écran d'affichage est découvert, cet interrupteur
permettant l'alimentation électrique de l'écran d'affichage.To this end, the invention relates to a lock key as defined
in
L'invention sera maintenant décrite plus en détail, et en référence au dessin annexé qui en illustre une forme de réalisation à titre d'exemple non limitatif. The invention will now be described in more detail, and with reference to attached drawing which illustrates an embodiment by way of example not limiting.
La figure 1 est une représentation de la clé selon l'invention avec l'insert déployé.Figure 1 is a representation of the key according to the invention with the insert deployed.
La figure 2 est une représentation de la clé avec l'insert rabattuFigure 2 is a representation of the key with the insert folded down
La figure 3 est une première représentation d'une variante de la clé selon l'invention.Figure 3 is a first representation of a variant of the key according to the invention.
La figure 4 est une seconde représentation d'une variante de la clé selon l'invention.Figure 4 is a second representation of a variant of the key according to the invention.
Comme représenté dans la figure 1, la clé selon l'invention comprend un
corps de clé 1 dans lequel est monté un écran d'affichage 3, par exemple un
écran à cristaux liquides, apte à faire apparaítre des informations
numériques ou textuelles. Cette clé comprend encore un insert 2 fixé au
corps de clé 1 et destiné à être inséré dans le verrou d'une serrure pour la
verrouiller ou la déverrouiller. L'insert 2 de la clé selon l'invention est mobile
par rapport au corps de clé 1 de manière à pouvoir soit recouvrir l'écran
d'affichage pour protéger celui-ci des rayures et des agressions physiques
extérieures, soit découvrir celui-ci pour qu'un utilisateur puisse lire les
informations figurant sur l'écran d'affichage. Quand l'insert ne recouvre pas
l'écran d'affichage et est en position déployée, il peut être inséré dans le
verrou d'une serrure d'un véhicule automobile par exemple.As shown in Figure 1, the key according to the invention comprises a
Plus particulièrement, l'insert 2 est monté pivotant autour d'un axe de
rotation 4 sur le corps de clé 1 et vient recouvrir ou découvrir l'écran
d'affichage 3 par un déplacement angulaire. Quand l'insert recouvre l'écran
d'affichage 3, il s'escamote dans le corps de clé 1 comme visible sur la
figure 2.More particularly, the
En variante, comme représenté dans les figures 3 et 4, l'insert 2 est
monté coulissant dans le corps de clé 1 le long de l'axe longitudinal 5 de
l'insert. Quand il est inséré dans le corps de clé 1, il recouvre l'écran
d'affichage 3 et le découvre quand il est extrait du corps de clé 1. Dans cette
variante, l'insert 2 et le corps de clé 1 sont complètement dissociables.Alternatively, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the
L'insert 2 de la clé de serrure selon l'invention pourra être réalisée en
matière plastique, sous la forme d'un parallélépipède ayant une face lisse et
une face crantée, la face crantée ayant une forme spécifique fonctionnelle
destinée à provoquer mécaniquement le verrouillage ou le déverrouillage de
la serrure. En agençant ce type d'insert de telle manière que lorsqu'il
recouvre l'écran d'affichage 3, la face crantée fasse face à l'écran
d'affichage, la clé repliée pourra alors présenter une surface externe
entièrement lisse.The
Un organe électronique d'identification 6 schématisé sur la figure 1 et
faisant partie d'un système d'accès mains libres pour véhicule automobile ou
autre est monté dans le corps de clé 1 en étant relié à l'écran d'affichage 3.
L'organe d'identification 6 est apte à communiquer à distance et sans fil avec
un dispositif de reconnaissance 7 du système d'accès mains libres et est
conçu pour récupérer du dispositif de reconnaissance monté dans le
véhicule des informations sur le véhicule ou d'autres informations. En
particulier, le dispositif de reconnaissance 7 pourra envoyer des données en
direction de la clé telles que l'heure, la date, la température, le taux de
remplissage du réservoir ou encore l'état verrouillé ou déverrouillé du
véhicule. Ces informations pourront ainsi apparaítre sur l'écran d'affichage 3
par l'intermédiaire de l'organe d'identification pour être tout le temps
accessibles à l'utilisateur du véhicule, y compris lorsqu'il n'est pas à
proximité du véhicule. Ces données pourront par exemple apparaítre les
unes après les autres au fur et à mesure que l'utilisateur appuie sur un
bouton de défilement non représenté intégré au corps de clé.An electronic identification member 6 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 and
being part of a hands-free access system for a motor vehicle or
another is mounted in the
Une pile est placée dans le corps de clé pour alimenter l'écran d'affichage
3 ainsi que l'électronique telle que 6. Pour réduire la consommation
d'énergie et augmenter la durée de vie de la pile, un interrupteur 8 est
interposé entre l'écran d'affichage 3 et la pile. Cet interrupteur fonctionne
pour se fermer quand l'insert découvre l'écran d'affichage et donc laisser
passer le courant entre la pile et l'écran d'affichage. Une temporisation peut
être prévue pour couper l'alimentation de l'écran d'affichage 3 après une
certaine période de temps d'alimentation. Si l'insert est monté pivotant sur le
corps de clé, l'interrupteur est du type à couteaux et est de préférence monté
sur l'axe de rotation 4. Si l'insert est monté coulissant dans le corps de clé,
l'interrupteur est du type à bouton poussoir. Ce genre d'interrupteur est bien
connu de l'homme de l'art.A battery is placed in the key body to power the
Comme on le voit, la clé de serrure selon l'invention est protegée des agressions mécaniques et a une ergonomie mieux adaptée aux systèmes d'accès mains libres actuels grâce à l'ajout d'un écran d'affichage qui est protégé par l'insert de la clé monté mobile par rapport au corps de clé.As can be seen, the lock key according to the invention is protected from mechanical aggressions and has an ergonomics better adapted to current hands-free access systems thanks to the addition a display screen which is protected by the key insert mounted mobile by relation to the key body.
