Description
- The present invention relates to a control device for a combination lock, in particular to an electronically operable lock, of a type described in the preamble to
Claim 1. - Electronic locks are known in which an identification code (usually for unlocking the lock) is entered by means of a keypad arranged on the door. A control unit receives this code, accesses a memory and compares it with a list stored therein and, if the code corresponds to one in the memory, interprets this as permitted access and releases the locking device so that the door can be opened. However, the presence of this keypad constitutes a weak point in the door since it is possible to attempt to force the lock by means of the cable connecting it to the keypad.
- Other locks use aerials to transmit the code from a transmitter to a receiver by means of radio signals.
- Japanese Patent Application JP 11-210288 describes an electronic system for controlling a lock associated with a door, which includes means for detecting a knock thereon. When these means recognize that someone has knocked on the door, they alert the control unit which uses a two-way radio to send a signal checking an identification code.
- However, the aerial is also visible and could invite attempts at forcing the lock. On the other hand, if the electronic lock is associated with an armoured door, it is not possible to arrange the aerial inside the door since it would be very difficult for it to receive signals correctly from outside.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a combination lock of the type mentioned, whereby it is possible to transmit a code for releasing the lock which has no visible elements on the outside of the door which would enable the position of the lock to be recognised, and no weak points enabling it to be forced or broken.
- This object is achieved, according to the present invention, by providing a control device for a combination lock having the characteristics claimed in
Claim 1. - Particular embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent Claims.
- One advantage is that it is possible to fit such a control device to existing locks without having to drill holes or perform other operations in order to run wires between the inside and the outside of the door, operations which would prove somewhat complicated in the case of very thick or heavily armoured doors.
- A preferred, but not limitative, embodiment will now be described with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the external surface of a door with a lock operated by a control device according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the inside surface of the door of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a block diagram illustrating the operation of a control device according to the present invention;
- Figure 4 is a block diagram illustrating a detail of Figure 3 indicated by an arrow IV;
- Figure 5 is a block diagram illustrating a detail of Figure 3 indicated by an arrow V; and
- Figure 6 represents the pattern of a signal generated by a control device according to the present invention.
-
- Figures 1 and 2 show an armoured door, that of a safe for example, with a
body 1 having a lock 2 of a known type. This lock includes a casing 3 containing a mechanism (not shown) able to movebolts 5 so that they enter corresponding cavities in a fixed part of an opening (not shown). This mechanism is controlled electronically by means of an actuator 6, also of a known type. As can be seen from Figure 2, the lock 2 and the actuator 6 are fixed to the inside surface of thebody 1 of the door, but they could also be incorporated into thebody 1 itself. A handle 7 is present on the outside surface of the door. - A
housing 8 is also secured to the inside surface of the door and contains, as shown in Figure 3, a first portion of the control device of the invention, including anelectronic control unit 10, a memory device 11 and a transmitting-receiving unit 12. - The
control unit 10 is connected electrically to the actuator 6 by means of acable 13 so that it can control the release of the lock 2. This control unit is also connected electrically both to the memory 11 and to the transmitter-receiver 12. Abattery 14 supplies power to the electronic components arranged on thebody 1 of the door. - The
control unit 10 and the memory 11 are arranged in a known manner, whereby the memory 11 is able to store a comparison code or combination, and thecontrol unit 10 is able to receive an input control code (as will be explained in greater detail later), to compare this received code with the comparison code retrieved from the memory 11 and, should the input code have a predetermined relation with the comparison code, to control the release of the lock 2. - With reference to Figure 4, a second portion of the control device comprises a
control box 15, which is preferably removable and portable, adapted to generate a code controlling the release of the lock. Thiscontrol box 15 includes a box-like casing 15a containing acontrol circuit 16 which connects a battery 16a supplying power to the components of thecontrol box 15, a memory 16b, akeypad 17 for entering an identity code, apercussion member 18 able to produce a controlled vibration or acoustic signal in thebody 1 of the door, thereby transmitting a control code generated by the control circuit on the entering of a correct identification code, amicrophone 19 able to detect a vibration through thebody 1 of the door and ascreen 20 for visually displaying data such as, for example, the arrival of a reply signal via themicrophone 19, or the power charge of the battery 16a. - In the present embodiment, the
percussion member 18 is constituted by a movable element operated by a solenoid (not shown). When the solenoid is activated by a power impulse, it urges the movable element against the door, causing a knock. It is clear that thepercussion member 18 could be constructed in any other way, provided that it is able to cause a vibration in thebody 1 in response to an electrical signal from the control circuit. - Finally, the
casing 15a includes fixing means 21 on its contact face, enabling thecontrol box 15 to be secured to thebody 1 of the door, in the direction shown by the arrow in Figure 1, so that the identification code can be transmitted. The fixing means are preferably magnetic, if thebody 1 of the door is of a metal material, or of any other type, such as suction or form locking means. These means are formed in such a way that thepercussion member 18 is able to strike thebody 1 of the door. They can have through holes, for example, through which the movable element can run during its strike against the door. - With reference to Figure 5, the receiving-transmitting
unit 12 includes apercussion member 22 able to produce a vibration in thebody 1 of the door corresponding to the reply signal described above, and amicrophone 23, able to pick up the vibration corresponding to the control code travelling through thebody 1 of the door and to convert it into an electrical signal. - According to a preferred embodiment, there is an additional battery (not shown) inside the
housing 8 which is rechargeable by piezoelectric recharging means, able to convert the vibrations into electrical impulses used to recharge the battery. - An example of the operation of the control device of the invention will now be described, with particular reference to the use of a dynamic combination control code.
- An operator keys into the
pad 17 an identification code, constituted for example by decimal numbers. Thecontrol circuit 16 converts the entered code into a control code which can be constituted, for example, by a group of three hexadecimal numbers, for each of which an exclusive OR operation is executed using three numbers chosen at random from a series of 250, stored earlier both in the memory 16b of thecontrol box 15 and in the memory 11 of the lock. - At this point, the control code is converted by the
percussion member 18 into an acoustic signal which includes a series of impulses, represented in Figures 3 to 5 by broken arrows across thebody 1 of the door. A preferred sequence of these impulses through the signal is shown in Figure 6. This includes a sequence of regularly spaced synchronisation pulses BS, spaced by 40 ms for example, and produced by repeated taps of thepercussion member 18 against thebody 1 of the door. Between one synchronisation pulse and another, thecontrol circuit 16 reads one bit BC of the generated control code and, should this bit BC be equal to 1, controls thepercussion member 18 to impart one tap on thebody 1 of the door. Should the bit BC be 0, thepercussion member 18 remains still. In the subsequent interval between two synchronisation pulses BS, the control circuit reads the next bit BC and so on until the code is completed. - The first synchronisation pulse transmitted by the
control box 15 travels through thebody 1 of the door until it reaches the transmitter-receiver radio 12 through themicrophone 23, thereby activating thecontrol unit 10 which starts to read the incoming pulses. At the same time as the code, thecontrol circuit 16 transmits an index in the same way, the function of which will be explained later, and a check sum, in a predetermined order. Thecontrol unit 10 analyzes the incoming data: if it recognizes that the transmission is correct (exact number of bits and valid check number) it decodes the sent number using the index as a pointer to find the series of numbers in the memory 11 to use as decrypting key. If the control code is identical to the comparison code stored in the memory 11, thecontrol unit 10 deactivates the lock, memorizes the opening number and transmits data on the state of the battery, using thepercussion member 22 of the transmitter-receiver 12 which transmits a reply signal by means of a sequence of pulses similar to that previously described. Thecontrol circuit 16 receives the reply signal through themicrophone 19, displays the message "DOOR OPEN" or "BATTERY LOW" on thescreen 20 and updates the index. - This index will be used to seek the key and codify the code the next time the door is opened.
- In this way, the code entered by the user is modified by the numerical algorithm according to a key which changes each time the door is opened, thus preventing any misuse of a code which has been recorded by means of a microphone. Retransmission of the same sequence of pulses would not be recognized by the
control unit 10, which is expecting a code encrypted by the next group of three numbers. - Should the sequence of pulses be correct but the code not, attempts at entering the code are counted. If a correct sequence of pulses with an incorrect code is entered three consecutive times, a protection system is activated whereby all activity is blocked for a set period of time (a few minutes, for example).
- On the other hand, should the problem be caused by ambient noise, unexpected knocks on the door, for example, the sequence of pulses will never be recognized as a code and therefore ignored. In such an event, the circuit returns to its normal waiting state.
- It is clear that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated here, but that such modifications may be made to the shape and arrangement of parts as well as to manufacturing and operating details, as are deemed necessary by those skilled in the art, without departing thereby from the scope of the invention, as claimed in the appended Claims.
