Abstract

The key (1) has a shaft (3) comprising a key back (4) and a key front (5). Closing recesses (6, 6') are arranged in the key front for supporting pin elements (7) of a closing cylinder (2). The closing recesses are laterally defined by flanks that are divided into different sections. The flanks comprise different slope angles perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the shaft. The recesses are designed asymmetrically, where incision bases of the recesses are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schlüssel für einen Schließzylinder mit einem einen Schlüsselrücken und eine Schlüsselbrust aufweisenden Schaft und mit einer Reihe von in der Schlüsselbrust angeordneten Schließausnehmungen zur Abstützung von Stiftzuhaltungen des Schließzylinders, wobei die Schließausnehmungen von Flanken seitlich begrenzt sind und die Flanken in verschiedene Abschnitte unterteilt sind.The invention relates to a key for a lock cylinder with a key back and a key bridge having shaft and with a number of keyhole arranged in the locking recesses for supporting pin tumblers of the lock cylinder, the locking recesses of flanks are laterally limited and the flanks are divided into different sections ,

Ein solcher Schlüssel ist beispielsweise aus der DE 10 2005 000 99 A1 bekannt. Bei diesem Schlüssel führt die Unterteilung der Flanken in verschiedene Abschnitte dazu, dass er eine große Anzahl von Schließgeheimnissen ermöglicht. Hierdurch hat die Schließausnehmung die Form eines Tannenbaums. Diese große Anzahl der möglichen Schließgeheimnisse rührt daher, dass einander benachbarte Stiftzuhaltungen mit großen Sprüngen in den Stufungen erzeugt werden können und der Abstand einander benachbarter Stiftzuhaltungen besonders klein gehalten werden kann. Jedoch führt diese Gestaltung der Schließausnehmungen zu hohen Kräften bei der Bewegung des Schlüssels in dem Schließzylinder. Die hohen Kräfte sind abhängig von dem Neigungswinkel der Flanken. Man könnte daran denken, den Neigungswinkel der Flanken flacher zu gestalten. Dies führt jedoch zu einer Verringerung der Anzahl der möglichen Schließgeheimnisse.Such a key is for example from the DE 10 2005 000 99 A1 known. For this key, dividing the flanks into different sections results in a large number of locking secrets. As a result, the closing recess has the shape of a Christmas tree. This large number of possible secret secrets stems from the fact that adjacent Stiftzuhaltungen can be generated with large jumps in the gradations and the distance between adjacent pin tumblers can be kept particularly small. However, this design of the locking recesses leads to high forces in the movement of the key in the lock cylinder. The high forces depend on the inclination angle of the flanks. One might think of making the slope angle of the flanks flatter. However, this leads to a reduction in the number of possible secrets.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Schlüssel der eingangs genannten Art so weiter zu bilden, dass er eine möglichst große Anzahl an Schließgeheimnissen ermöglicht und besonders komfortabel in der Handhabung ist.The invention is based on the problem, so as to form a key of the type mentioned that he the greatest possible number of privacy secrets and is particularly comfortable to use.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die verschiedenen Abschnitte der Flanken unterschiedliche Neigungswinkel zur Senkrechten auf die Längsachse des Schaftes aufweisen.This problem is inventively solved in that the different sections of the flanks have different angles of inclination to the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Durch diese Gestaltung lässt sich durch eine geeignete Wahl der Neigungswinkel einzelner Abschnitte eine einfache Einführbarkeit des Schlüssels in den Schließzylinder sicherstellen. Bei großen Stufensprüngen zwischen benachbarten Stiftzuhaltungen kann ein steiler Neigungswinkel der Abschnitte gewählt werden. Damit lässt sich bei der weniger tiefen Schließausnehmung der Einschnittgrund, auf dem sich die entsprechende Stiftzuhaltung abstützt, besonders breit gestalten. Damit ist der erfindungsgemäße Schlüssel besonders verschleißarm. Da die Anzahl besonders großer Stufensprünge zwischen benachbarten Stiftzuhaltungen in der Regel nur sehr klein ist, führt die entsprechend geringe Anzahl an steilen Abschnitten nur zu einer unwesentlichen Erhöhung der Kräfte bei der Einführung des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels in den Schließzylinder.This design makes it possible to ensure easy insertion of the key into the lock cylinder by a suitable choice of the angle of inclination of individual sections. For large increments between adjacent pin tumblers, a steep angle of inclination of the sections can be selected. This makes it possible to make particularly wide in the less deep closing recess of the incision ground on which the corresponding pin tumbler is supported. Thus, the key according to the invention is particularly resistant to wear. Since the number of particularly large increments between adjacent pin tumblers is usually very small, the correspondingly small number of steep sections leads only to an insignificant increase in the forces during the introduction of the key according to the invention in the lock cylinder.

Ein einfaches Einführen des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels und dessen zuverlässiges Halten in Schließstellung lässt sich einfach erzeugen, wenn der Neigungswinkel des an der tiefsten Stelle der Schließausnehmungen angeordneten Abschnitts zur Senkrechten auf die Längsachse des Schaftes kleiner ist als der Neigungswinkel des sich daran anschließenden Abschnitts. Damit wird ein hoher Komfort bei der Benutzung des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels bei einer hohen Sicherheit gegen ein Herausrutschen aus der Schließstellung sichergestellt. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Gestaltung besteht darin, dass die Schließausnehmung an ihrer tiefsten Stelle besonders breit gestaltet werden kann und damit eine breite Auflagefläche für die Stiftzuhaltung bietet. Dies trägt zur Verringerung des Verschleißes des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels bei. In der Praxis hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, den Neigungswinkel des an der tiefsten Stelle der Schließausnehmung angeordneten Abschnitts zur Senkrechten mit etwa 42° und damit relativ steil zu realisieren. Der Neigungswinkel des sich daran anschließenden Abschnitts beträgt vorzugsweise etwa 45° und ist damit relativ flach.A simple insertion of the key according to the invention and its reliable holding in the closed position can be easily generated when the angle of inclination of the arranged at the lowest point of the locking recesses portion to the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft is smaller than the inclination angle of the adjoining portion. This ensures a high level of comfort when using the key according to the invention with a high level of security against slipping out of the closed position. Another advantage of this design is that the closing recess can be made particularly wide at its lowest point and thus provides a wide contact surface for the Stiftzuhaltung. This contributes to the reduction of wear of the key according to the invention. In practice, it has proven to be advantageous to realize the inclination angle of the arranged at the lowest point of the locking recess portion to the vertical at about 42 ° and thus relatively steep. The angle of inclination of the adjoining portion is preferably about 45 ° and is thus relatively flat.

Ein vorgesehener Kompromiss zwischen einer hohen Anzahl an möglichen Schließungen und ein hoher Komfort des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels lassen sich einfach erzeugen, wenn die Schließausnehmungen unsymmetrisch gestaltet sind. Durch diese Gestaltung sind die Kräfte beim Einschieben des Schlüssels und beim Herausziehen unterschiedlich hoch.A proposed compromise between a high number of possible closures and high comfort of the key according to the invention can be easily generated when the locking recesses are designed asymmetrically. By this design, the forces are different when inserting the key and pulling out.

Zur weiteren Verminderung der Reibungskräfte beim Einführen des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels in den Schließzylinder trägt es bei, wenn die Zahl der Abschnitte mit den unterschiedlichen Neigungswinkeln an einer Flanke zumindest drei beträgt. Durch diese Gestaltung lassen sich unterschiedliche Geschwindigkeiten der Bewegung der Stiftzuhaltungen bei einer konstanten Einführgeschwindigkeit des Schlüssels erzeugen.To further reduce the friction forces during insertion of the key according to the invention in the lock cylinder, it contributes, if the number of sections with the different angles of inclination on a flank is at least three. By this design, different speeds of movement of the pin tumblers can be generated at a constant insertion speed of the key.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung des Komforts bei der Benutzung des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels trägt es bei, wenn bei drei Abschnitten auf einer Flanke der Schließausnehmung der mittlere Abschnitt den größten Neigungswinkel zur Senkrechten auf die Längsachse des Schaftes aufweist. Damit kann beispielsweise bei besonders tiefen Schließausnehmungen sichergestellt werden, dass die Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung der Stiftzuhaltung am kleinsten ist, wenn diese über den mittleren Abschnitt gleitet. Nahe der vollständig zurück gedrückten Stellung und in der vollständig in die Schließausnehmung hinein gedrückten Stellung der Stiftzuhaltung lassen sich höhere Geschwindigkeiten erzeugen. Vorzugsweise beträgt der Neigungswinkel des vom Einschnittgrund am weitesten entfernten Abschnitts 35°- 40° und ist damit besonders steil. Bei eng benachbarten tiefen Schließausnehmungen entfällt der dem Einschnittgrund am weitesten entfernte Abschnitt, so dass der an diesem Abschnitt kleine Neigungswinkel nur unwesentlich zur Erschwerung des Abzugs des Schlüssels beiträgt. Jedoch ermöglicht der steile, vom Einschnittgrund am weitesten entfernte Abschnitt einen breiten Einschnittgrund der benachbarten Schließausnehmung. Dies trägt zu einer weiteren Verringerung der Verschleißanfälligkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Schlüssels bei.To further increase the comfort when using the key according to the invention, it is helpful if, in the case of three sections on one flank of the closing recess, the middle section has the greatest angle of inclination to the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. This can be ensured, for example, in particularly deep locking recesses that the speed of movement of the Stiftzuhaltung is smallest, if this slides over the middle section. Near the fully back pressed position and in the fully pressed into the locking recess position of Stiftzuhalt higher speeds can be generated. The angle of inclination of the section farthest from the cutting base is preferably 35 ° -40 ° and is therefore particularly steep. For closely adjacent deep recesses eliminates the cutting base furthest removed portion so that the small angle of inclination at this section contributes only slightly to the aggravation of the trigger of the key. However, the steepest portion, the furthest away from the cutting base, allows a wide recess bottom of the adjacent closing recess. This contributes to a further reduction in the susceptibility to wear of the key according to the invention.

Der erfindungsgemäße Schlüssel wird in der vorgesehenen Schließstellung mit einer hohen Kraft gehalten, wenn ein Einschnittgrund der Schließausnehmungen parallel zu der Längsachse des Schaftes angeordnet ist. Die parallele Anordnung des Einschnittgrundes vergrößert die Auflagefläche der Stiftzuhaltung im Schließzylinder. Insbesondere, wenn sich an den Einschnittgrund die Abschnitte mit den kleinen Neigungswinkeln zur Senkrechten auf die Längsachse des Schaftes anschließen, rastet der Schlüssel in der Schließstellung zuverlässig in den Schließzylinder ein.The key according to the invention is held in the intended closed position with a high force when a recess bottom of the locking recesses is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The parallel arrangement of the recess base increases the bearing surface of the pin tumbler in the lock cylinder. In particular, when connect to the incision reason, the sections with the small angles of inclination to the vertical to the longitudinal axis of the shaft, the key engages reliably in the closed position in the lock cylinder.

Eine hohe Anzahl an Abschnitten in den Flanken der Schließausnehmungen lässt sich gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vermeiden, wenn die Abschnitte sich über mehr als einen Stufensprung der Stiftzuhaltung erstrecken.A high number of sections in the flanks of the locking recesses can be avoided according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, when the sections extend over more than a step increment of Stiftzuhaltung.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Schlüssel 1 mit einem Schließzylinder 2 in einer Schnittdarstellung. Der Schlüssel 1 hat einen Schaft 3 mit einem Schlüsselrücken 4 und mit einer Schlüsselbrust 5. Die Schlüsselbrust 5 weist eine Reihe von Schließausnehmungen 6, 6' zum Ansteuern von Stiftzuhaltungen 7 des Schließzylinders 2 auf. Der Schließzylinder 2 hat einen in einem Gehäuse 8 drehbaren Kern 9 und einen in dem Kern 9 angeordneten Schließkanal 10 zur Aufnahme des Schaftes 3 des Schlüssels 1. Die Stiftzuhaltungen 7 sind von dem Gehäuse 8 in den Schließkanal 10 hinein vorgespannt. FIG. 1 shows a key 1 with a lock cylinder 2 in a sectional view. The key 1 has a shaft 3 with a key back 4 and with a key-chest 5. The key-chest 5 has a series of closing recesses 6, 6 'for driving pin tumblers 7 of the lock cylinder 2. The lock cylinder 2 has a core 9 rotatable in a housing 8 and a closing channel 10 arranged in the core 9 for receiving the shank 3 of the key 1. The pin tumblers 7 are biased by the housing 8 into the closing channel 10.

Figur 2 zeigt stark vergrößert zwei benachbarte Schließausnehmungen 6, 6' des Schlüssels 1 aus Figur 1. Stufungen, welche die möglichen Tiefen der Schließausnehmungen 6, 6' darstellen, sind in der Zeichnung mit den Zahlen von null bis acht gekennzeichnet. Die Stufung null entspricht der mit einer besonders geringen Tiefe dargestellten Schließausnehmung 6', während die Stufung acht der Schließausnehmung 6 mit der größtmögliche Tiefe entspricht. Die beiden benachbarten Schließausnehmungen 6, 6' weisen damit den größtmöglichen Stufensprung auf. Weiterhin sind in Figur 2 Einschnittgründe 11, 11' der Schließausnehmungen 6, 6' parallel zur Längsachse des Schaftes 3 angeordnet. In Figur 2 ist zudem ein Kernstift 12 einer der in Figur 1 dargestellten Stiftzuhaltungen 7 dargestellt, welcher sich an einem der Einschnittgründe 11 abstützt. Der Kernstift 12 wird mit seinem dem Einschnittgrund 11 abgewandten Ende an der strichpunktiert dargestellten Trennebene zwischen Gehäuse 8 und Kern 9 des Schließzylinders 2 aus Figur 1 gehalten. Flanken der tieferen Schließausnehmung 6 sind in drei Abschnitte 13, 14, 15 unterteilt, von denen jede einen anderen Neigungswinkel α1, α2, α3 zur Senkrechten auf die Längsachse des Schaftes 3 hat. Der Neigungswinkel α1 des dem Einschnittgrund 11 am nächsten liegenden Abschnitts 13 ist wie der des dem Einschnittgrund 11 am weitesten entfernt liegenden Abschnitts 15 besonders klein gewählt. Der mittlere Abschnitt 14 weist einen großen Neigungswinkel α2 auf und ist damit in Bewegungsrichtung des Schaftes 3 flach gestaltet. Wegen der die steilen Neigungswinkel α1, α3 aufweisenden Abschnitte 13, 15 sind die Einschnittgründe 11, 11' besonders breit und bieten daher eine große Auflagefläche zur Abstützung der Stiftzuhaltungen 7. FIG. 2 shows greatly enlarged two adjacent locking recesses 6, 6 'of the key 1 from FIG. 1 , Gradations representing the possible depths of the locking recesses 6, 6 'are in the drawing with the numbers marked from zero to eight. The grading zero corresponds to the locking recess 6 'shown with a particularly small depth, while the graduation corresponds to eight of the closing recess 6 with the greatest possible depth. The two adjacent locking recesses 6, 6 'thus have the largest possible increment. Furthermore, in FIG. 2 Incision reasons 11, 11 'of the closing recesses 6, 6' arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft 3. In FIG. 2 is also a core pin 12 one of in FIG. 1 illustrated pin tumblers 7 shown, which is supported on one of the recess 11 reasons. The core pin 12 is facing away from the incision base 11 end of the dash-dotted line dividing plane between the housing 8 and core 9 of the lock cylinder 2 FIG. 1 held. Flanks of the deeper locking recess 6 are divided into three sections 13, 14, 15, each of which has a different angle of inclination α1, α2, α3 to the perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft 3. The angle of inclination α1 of the recess base 11 closest to the portion 13 is selected to be particularly small as that of the recess base 11 farthest portion 15. The middle portion 14 has a large inclination angle α2 and is thus made flat in the direction of movement of the shaft 3. Because of the steep inclination angles α1, α3 having sections 13, 15, the recess bases 11, 11 'are particularly wide and therefore provide a large support surface for supporting the Stiftzuhaltungen. 7

Figur 3 zeigt stark vergrößert eine weitere Ausführungsform der besonders tiefen Schließausnehmung 6, die hier unsymmetrisch gestaltet ist. Die mittleren Abschnitte 16, 17 der Flanken der Schließausnehmung 6 weisen hierbei unterschiedliche Neigungswinkel α4, α5 auf. FIG. 3 shows greatly enlarged another embodiment of the particularly deep locking recess 6, which is designed here asymmetrical. The middle sections 16, 17 of the flanks of the closing recess 6 in this case have different angles of inclination α4, α5.

Figur 4 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der besonders tiefen Schließausnehmung 6, bei der eine Flanke zwei Abschnitte 18, 19 hat, während die andere Flanke drei Abschnitte 20 - 22 aufweist. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform haben verschiedne Abschnitte 19, 21 unterschiedliche Neigungswinkel α6, α7. FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the particularly deep locking recess 6, in which one flank has two sections 18, 19, while the other flank has three sections 20 - 22. Also in this embodiment, different sections 19, 21 have different inclination angles α6, α7.
