Description

The present invention relates to a device for changing a locking state of a window or a door, comprising at least one in at least one rotatable with the window or door connectable olive housing and rotatable relative to the olive housing Griffolive, and at least one electronic evaluation circuit for detecting the position the handle, the handle having at least one passing through the olive housing connecting means by means of the locking state of the window or the door is variable, non-rotatably connected, and a window or a door comprising such means and a method for detecting a position such a device.

Such a device is from the DE 10 2010 018 780 B3 known. The DE 10 2010 018 780 B3 describes a multi-function handle for the controlled opening and closing of windows or doors with a detection device for detecting certain current handle positions. The handle consists of a handle body and an actuating pin coupled to the handle body for actuating a locking mechanism and a fitting for attachment to a door or a window. The handle body also contains an evaluation, which includes a timepiece with an adjustable period of time, the start of which is triggered by the movement of the handle body and the end of which is indicated by at least one acoustic noise or an equivalent electronic or mechanical signal. The detection device is positively connected to the actuating bolt and may, for example, have sliding contacts, which recognize certain grip positions due to a cam.

Another device is for example from the DE 20 2005 006 796 U1 known, which discloses a monitoring device for windows and doors. This monitoring device for securing windows and doors has a pivotable handle, which is held on a handle fitting and is connected via a polygonal plug pin with locking devices of the doors or windows. Within a housing, which of the polygonal plug pin is penetrated, a circuit board is arranged, which is introduced substantially immovable. In order to enable a determination of the position of the handle, it is proposed that a switching sleeve is applied to the polygonal plug pin, which can interact with microswitches designed as buttons. In addition, in order to be able to monitor whether the door or the window is in a closed or open position, the monitoring device further comprises a main part held in a window or a door leaf and a neighboring part arranged in the stationary frame Additional part on. The second sensor device thus formed, next to the sensor device for determining the position of the handle, has magnets and correspondingly corresponding reed contact switches to determine the different positions of the door or of the window. By appropriate evaluations of the data of the first and second sensor device, it is detected whether the door or the window is in an open or a closed position and whether the handle is in a locking or an unlocking position. In various constellations, for example when the window is in a closed position, without the handle assuming a locking position, or when the handle is in a locked state and the window is transferred from the closed position to the open position, in particular in the case of Burglary, an alarm is issued.

A disadvantage of this monitoring device, however, is that a plurality of sensors must be used to allow both a monitoring of the position of the handle and the window or the door. In addition, in a retrofitting of the window or the door with the monitoring device in addition to the replacement of the handle or the handle fitting additional manipulations to the window, in particular the positioning of the second sensor device to be made.

In addition, the reveals DE 10 2005 031 106 A1 a window handle with a motion sensor, a wireless data transmission and a self-sufficient power supply. In this case, a window handle is proposed with standardized connection dimensions, which allows the microsystemic arrangement of a motion sensor, a microprocessor, a transceiver, an energy storage and a system for regenerative energy production. The window handle described as "Smarthandle" is intended to enable a system to provide information about an opening and tilt angle as well as the lock state of a window. This window handle has the disadvantage that by integrating the motion sensor in the window handle an adaptation to different environmental conditions is only possible by replacing the entire window handle.

The EP 1 903 165 A2 relates to a window handle for a window having a position detecting means for detecting the grip position of the window handle in the mounted state, the one or more detection sensors for sensing the handle position of the window handle. These detection devices are provided in a recess of the elongated handle. It is further disclosed that the detection sensors are designed as linearly oriented position sensors, each having a tube in which an axially or linearly movable contact body is arranged.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to develop the known from the prior art generic devices such that the disadvantages of the prior art are overcome, in particular a device is provided which is structurally simple, by means of monitoring both a position of a Griff, which is also referred to as handle foliage, as well as a monitoring of the position of the window or the door in a structurally simple manner allows, while an easy adaptability to the different environmental conditions, in particular to the type of the window or the door in the the device is to be used, as well as the parameters to be monitored and the manner in which the result of the evaluation of the data is forwarded to the environment. In addition, an improved method for detecting a position of a device for changing a locking state of a window and / or a door compared to the prior art is to be provided.

Furthermore, the invention proposes at least one fixing device which can be connected to the connecting device in a way that is secure against rotation is and on the circuit board can be arranged to prevent rotation.

It is preferred that the circuit board has a circular, peripheral shape and wherein in the circuit board at least one opening for receiving the connecting device and / or the fixing device is provided, wherein in the outer periphery of the opening a receptacle is provided, wherein in the receptacle at least one complementary, on a surface of the connecting device and / or the fixing device arranged element is receivable to determine a predetermined relative position between the circuit board on the one hand and the connecting device, the handle and / or fixing the other hand, or the circuit board, the complementary element and the connecting device, the handle and / or the fixing device comprises the receptacle.

Furthermore, the invention proposes that the first sensor comprises at least one self-sufficient sensing device for determining its own position and / or orientation in space, and at least one sensing element of the first sensor and / or the sensing device eccentric relative to a rotation axis of the printed circuit board and the connecting device the circuit board is positioned.

In the aforementioned embodiment, it is particularly preferred that the sensing device allows the determination of position and / or orientation based on acceleration data, velocity data, motion data, geomagnetic field data, GPS data and / or (gyro) compass data detected by the sensing element the Sensiervorrichtung comprises at least one 3D sensor, such as a 3D MEMS acceleration sensor.

In the case of the two abovementioned alternatives, it is proposed, in particular, that the sensing device determine the grip position, such as an open position, a locked position and / or a tilting position of the window or the door, and determine an at least partial destruction of the structure of the window or the door and / or the position of the printed circuit board, the fixing device, the connecting device and / or the handle.

A device according to the invention can also be characterized by at least one component connected to the printed circuit board, in particular electrically, electronically, by wire and / or wireless, and arranged on the printed circuit board, the component being selected from a group of components comprising the following components:
at least one energy source, such as a battery, an accumulator, a thermoelectric element or

In the aforementioned alternative, it is preferred that a signal can be output by means of the output device if the charge of the energy source falls below a predetermined threshold value.

Furthermore, the invention proposes at least one electrical, wired, wireless and / or radio-bound connecting device, such as at least one plug-in contact device and / or sliding contact device, by means of which the printed circuit board with at least one further element, in particular the component, the device Functional unit and / or the other circuit board is connectable, wherein the Konnektierungseinrichtung is at least partially encompassed by the connecting device and / or fixing and / or the circuit board by means of Konnektierungseinrichtung automatically at a plugging and / or connection with the connecting device and / or fixing device with the other Element is connectable.

It is particularly preferred that the circuit board, the element, the component, the functional unit and / or the further circuit board comprises at least a second sensor for detecting other environmental conditions, such as a temperature, humidity, a light intensity, a twilight level, the approach of a person , a concentration of at least one gas, in particular carbon monoxide, a smoke concentration, a single and / or repeated taps on the handle, the olive housing and / or the connecting device, an integrity of the structure of the window and / or the door, and / or a broken glass.

The invention further provides a window or a door comprising a device according to the invention, in particular in the form of a tiltable window pivotable about both a horizontal and at least one vertical axis, a window pivotable about only a vertical axis or a horizontal axis, at least one sliding window, a tilt and turn window, a sliding door, a lift-and-slide door, a sliding-door and / or a tilt-door.

The object relating to the method is achieved by a method for detecting a position of a device for changing a locking state of a window or a door and a position of the window or door, the locking state and the position being detected by means of at least one first sensor.

The invention is therefore based on the surprising finding that the arrangement of a printed circuit board in the region of a connecting device, which is connected with a handle handle of the device on the one hand and allows the connection with a locking device within the window or the door on the other hand, wherein the circuit board also is securely connected to the connecting device or arranged on this and by at least partially arranging the circuit board in the handle, for example, a reaching in of the circuit board in the handle plate, in a structurally simple manner allows both the position of a handle foil is detected as well as a simultaneously Position of the window or the door can be detected. At the same time, this arrangement of the printed circuit board allows a modular structure of the device, in particular to allow a functional or systematic extension of the device.

In this context, a circuit board is understood in particular to mean a printed circuit board on which electronic or microelectronic components, in particular switching elements or integrated components, and printed conductors, in particular for the electrical connection of the components, are arranged. The components comprise, for example, at least one memory, an evaluation device in the form of, for example, a microprocessor and / or at least partially the first sensor.

In particular, the first sensor comprises a self-sufficient sensor, wherein a self-sufficient sensor in the sense of the invention is understood to mean a sensing device which is designed in one piece such that no additional counter element is required to enable recognition of a position, as is the case for example Reed contact, in the vicinity of which a magnet movable relative to the contact has to be arranged, or in microswitches in which outside of the element to be moved, the micro-switch triggering elements must be provided. Suitable autarkic sensors are all types of 3D sensors, i. Sensors, which make it possible to determine the position or orientation of the sensor itself or the unit on which the sensor is arranged, in space. In this case, the sensor can be based on various measurement principles, for example, evaluate earth magnetic field lines, satellite positioning data capture or motion parameters such as a speed, detect an acceleration. An example of a suitable sensor is the Honeywell HMC 5843 3D sensor or the ADXL345 Analog Devices analog sensor.

Particularly preferred is the use of a 3D MEMS sensor, in particular acceleration sensor. MEMS or microelectromechanical systems make it possible to realize sensors as integrated components that were previously constructed from several components.

For example, surface micromechanical principles are used to realize an acceleration sensor. For this purpose, a freely movable comb structure can be formed on a wafer side of a substrate, which is then made movable by detachment from the substrate. The movable and fixed comb structures then form a capacitor structure whose capacitance changes as a function of the acceleration values acting on them and thus makes it possible to qualitatively detect the acceleration signal. By forming the structure in the three spatial directions, the recognition of the acceleration in the three spatial directions is thus made possible.

By linking the quantitative acceleration data with time information about the acceleration signals, detent movements or signals of the detent device explained below can be recognized and inferred to a position of the handle film or the position of the window or the door in space can be determined, but burglary attempts can also be detected , In this case, the detection of the break-in attempt takes place early, namely e.g. at a levering of the window or the door. If the window or the door is in the locked state and, for example, an acceleration is detected which is parallel to the plane of a frame of the window or the door, it can be unambiguously recognized that an attempt is made to pry open the window. A 3D acceleration sensor also makes it possible to detect a glass breakage due to the force acting on the window or the door accelerating the handle bars or the olive casing and allowing these characteristic acceleration values to detect a glass breakage.

This determination of a position of a handle film with a single 3D (acceleration sensor) can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the printed circuit board, in particular on the connecting device.

By an eccentric positioning of the first sensor on the circuit board or board it is the self-sufficient sensor allows to clearly determine its position or orientation in space and at the same time clearly the position or orientation of the handle but also at the same time the position of the window or to determine the door in the room. Thus, it is in particular possible with the sensor to detect whether the handle is in a locking position, an unlocking position or a Teilentriegelungsposition. Here, a locking position is understood in particular a position in which a window when it is in a closed position, is locked with a door or window frame such that opening the door or the window without destruction or Manipulation of the structure of the window or the door is not possible. Under an unlocking position is understood in particular that the window or the door from the closed position in the open position or vice versa can be moved, while a Teilentriegelungsposition is understood that the locking device, in particular fittings of the window or the door so in one Intervene frame or a surrounding structure that only a partial movement, such as a tilting of the window or the door is made possible.

It is particularly preferred in the invention, when the printed circuit board via a fixing device, for example in the form of a sleeve made of a plastic material, with the connecting device rotationally secure, for example, by clipping on the fixing device can be connected. Thus, on the one hand, an insulation of the printed circuit board with respect to the usually consisting of an electrically conductive material, in particular metal, connecting means, for example a polygonal plug pin, are made possible. At the same time, the fixing device can also serve as part of a latching device. In this case, the latching device makes it possible for the handle or connecting device to be latchable in predetermined positions relative to the olive housing, which is fixed in particular relative to the window or the door structure. In this case, a latching preferably takes place in the previously described three positions of the locking, unlocking and Teilentriegelungsposition.

This integration of the fixing in the locking device also has the advantage that the circuit board, and thus the first sensor, is located close to this latching device and it is in particular possible that the first sensor, in particular by detection of motion parameters, such as a speed or a change in speed of the movement, the handle or the connecting device, in particular before or during engagement, can be detected, so that the position of the handle can be determined unambiguously upon detection of these Einrastimpulse. Preferably, another part of the latching device is through the olive casing itself, for example, by the gating of corresponding locking lugs, which interact with the fixing device formed.

In this case, the evaluation of latching pulses for determining a position can also be realized independently of the specific location of the arrangement of the printed circuit board or the sensor, in particular the connection to the connecting device.

Preferably, the circuit board or circuit board on a rotationally symmetrical, in particular round, outer contour, wherein the 3D sensor or the first sensor is arranged in particular eccentrically on the circuit board.

Preferably, a mechanical fastening device in the form of a recess, opening or a recess is further provided on the circuit board or the board, which interacts with a complementary element of the fixing device to the board in a predetermined position on the connecting device or the To arrange a polygonal plug pin.

This rotational drive of the circuit board can also be realized independently of the arrangement or connection on / with the connecting device.

This arrangement of the printed circuit board or circuit board on the connecting device makes it possible, in particular, for the device to be of modular design, that is to say one and the same connecting device or the same gripping foil different printed circuit board or a corresponding sensor adapted to the respective environmental conditions and requirements can be plugged. Thus, for example, printed circuit boards or circuit boards can be provided which comprise a component for wireless data communication or can be connected to these, in particular in the handle or olive housing arranged data communication device. This allows signals to an external unit, such as an alarm center or a Home automation device, if such networking is desired, allows.

However, if such an external data communication is not desired, another, simple and therefore less expensive printed circuit board or board can be used, for example, only allows the transmission of signals to an arranged in the handle or olive housing alarm device or output device. Examples of such elements arranged in the handle or the olive housing are input and output devices, such as a keyboard, switch, a speaker, a touch screen or displays that allow the device can be initialized or monitored while alarms and Like. Can be spent. In particular, a power supply for the printed circuit board in the handle or olive housing, for example in the form of a battery, a rechargeable battery, or a solar cell is arranged.

In particular, it is preferred that an accumulator is charged via the solar cell or a solar panel, which is preferably arranged on a side of the door or window facing away from the device. Due to the connection to the device, in particular the olive or olive housing, the solar panels can be freely arranged on or around the window or the door.

It is also possible to provide a mechanoelectrical element with the aid of which mechanical kinetic energy, preferably the handle foil or a component which is in mechanical connection with it, is used to generate electrical energy and thus to charge the accumulator. Furthermore, it is possible via a so-called energy harvesting to charge the accumulator, for example by a thermoelectric element is used, which allows existing temperature differences to generate electrical energy to exploit, for example, a temperature difference between an inside and outside, so one of Device facing and one of the device facing away from the door or the window.

It is particularly preferred that in an arrangement of the circuit board on the connecting device at the same time electrical contacting of the circuit board by means of plug contacts to the handle, in particular for connection with arranged in the handle, elements such as the power supply and the speaker or the display device is enabled or can be reached via further plug contacts or sliding contacts on the connecting device of a contact with the arranged in the olive housing elements.

Also, the printed circuit board can be connected by means of a conductor strand, which has a plug which can be accommodated in a complementary plug receptacle, which is arranged in the olive housing or in the handle strip and allows a connection to elements arranged there.

The arrangement of the additional elements, such as the speaker or the energy storage device, in the olive housing in place of Griffolive offers the advantage that a modular system is achieved in which the handle can be replaced independently of the olive housing or different Griffoliven one and the same olive housing are freely combinable. Also, the range of functions of the device can be adjusted by sole adaptation of the olive housing or the components arranged therein.

The arrangement of the printed circuit board or circuit board according to the invention makes it possible in addition, that due to the existing compared to the handle sheet inside the olive housing larger space, the circuit board with at least one other circuit board, which are connected in particular by means of a plug-and-play connection with the first circuit board can, for more System function elements can be extended. For example, the circuit board or a circuit board data communication device for wireless, in particular wireless, connect the device with external components such as an alarm center, a home automation center or an external actuator, such as a roller shutter motor or a Gurtwickler allow.

In this way, the greatest possible flexibility and therefore adaptability of the device to the environmental conditions, or the parameters to be monitored or the measures to be initiated by the device upon detection of appropriate environmental conditions is made possible.

Examples of wireless, in particular radio-bound, data communication are radio standards such as KNX, WLAN, 433 MHz, 886 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 10886 MHz connections, Z-WAVES, ZIGBEE or the like and / or data communications using free ISM (Industrial Scientific , Medical) frequency bands, such as 433 MHz, 886 MHz and / or 2.4 GHz. In addition to the previously described first sensor in the form of a 3D sensor, that is to say a sensor which permits both a position and an orientation in space without the need for further sensor components, the device can also be extended by further (second) sensors , the environmental conditions, in particular an at least partial destruction of the structure of the door or the window, for example, a glass breakage, but also other environmental parameters, such as a temperature, humidity or light irradiation detect. Also, further sensors for detecting the position of the handle or the window or the door can be provided to clarify or increase the measurement accuracy, for example, further 3D sensors to a redundant evaluation of the measurement signals, both to avoid incorrect measurements and to increase the measurement accuracy.

The detection of other environmental parameters, in addition to the detection of the position of the handle and the position of the window or the door, for example the detection of a temperature of humidity or incidence of light make it possible, in particular freely programmed parameters, alarms or actions can be triggered, for example, to a user to move to close or open a window to allow ventilation or to avoid too high a temperature drop, or for example to operate a roller shutter motor or a Gurtwickler to allow closing the shutter or the window.

It is particularly advantageous on the device that in addition to the determination of the position of the handle or the window alone based on the data of the first sensor, an at least partial destruction of the structure of the window or door, such as a broken glass can be detected. Thus, due to such, in particular violent, destruction of the structure to characteristic movements of Griffolive or the circuit board, even if the circuit board is not connected to the connecting device. In particular, in a levering of the window, there is a transmission of a movement signal from the fittings or the locking device of the window or a door to the connecting device and thus the arranged on the circuit board sensor, but also due to vibration in a glass breakage. The data acquired by means of the first sensor make it possible to carry out a differentiation as to whether an at least partial destruction of the structure of the door or of the window takes place, ie unpermitted impulses are present, or merely a "harmless event", ie permissible impulses, such as a bird flies against the disc, a snowball or a ball flies against the disc or is tapped with an object against the disc. Thus, a destruction of the structure, especially in a burglary can be clearly identified. This is based on the surprising finding that an object flying against the disk generates a single discrete acceleration or movement impulse. In a partial destruction of the structure of the window or the door, for example, in a burglary with a crowbar or destruction of the glass, however, an acceleration event occurs, extending over a noticeably longer Period, in particular by a factor of 4-5 longer period of time, and at the same time generates significantly different motion signals.

Further investigations have shown that an evaluation of only the amplitude value, regardless of the length and the course of the acting acceleration, also leads to very good overlaps with regard to the distinction between alarm and everyday events. Therefore, it is an option to evaluate only the amplitude values and from this to conclude an alarm event. This has the advantages that the measurement process as well as the electronic / software technical evaluation is significantly shorter and thus the life of the battery is extended and / or it is possible to obstruct a less complex and thus more cost-effective microcontroller, because not so high demands on the Performance and storage requirements are made.

This detection of an alarm situation can also be realized independently of the positioning of the printed circuit board, in particular on the connecting device, as long as the corresponding pulses or acceleration signals are forwarded to the sensor.

Thus, by monitoring the length, but also in particular supplemented by the monitoring of the exact parameters of the event, a clear recognition of the event of destruction of the structure of the window or the door allows without this for other sensors, in particular a further manipulation the door or the window or one of these adjacent structure necessary needs.

The arrangement of the printed circuit board or circuit board on the connecting device also makes it possible, in particular in combination with the latching device, for a calibration of the device to be enabled without the need for further input devices of the device for this purpose. For example, it is possible to turn on a calibration mode by turning the handle in a predetermined manner between different positions, in particular locking positions, reciprocated, for example, is reciprocated twice between the locking and unlocking position. In this case, both the movement by 180 ° and the latching events when engaging in the locking and unlocking position but also the movement through the Teilentriegelungsposition are detected by the sensor. If this calibration mode is turned on once, then the individual detent positions of the handle can be approached in a predetermined manner and simultaneously the different positions of the door or the window, in particular a complete open position, a complete closed position and a tilt position and combinations of Positions of the handle and the window can be adjusted, wherein it is provided in particular that upon reaching the respective position of the window, the handle is again moved in a predetermined manner between different locking positions to indicate to the device that the respective position of the window or the door is reached.

In addition, the first sensor makes it possible for other types of pulses to be detected and recognized as inputs by a user. The first sensor can thus represent a part of an input device, by means of which a user can give commands to the device, in particular an operating state or operating mode, for example the switching on of the calibration mode. As such inputs, for example, a single or multiple tapping, in particular double tipping, comparable to the click and double-click on a computer mouse, can be detected. In this case, the user can, for example, tap the handle leaf, the olive housing, the connecting device or other units in mechanical communication with these components, such as the window or the door itself, and thus achieve a change in the operating mode.

Also, these commands can be used to achieve the aforementioned calibration procedures. Also, the user has the ability to turn on or off individual features of the device, such as a Battery monitoring, climate monitoring, changing the output of signals via the output device or related adjustment parameters. For example, limits for issuing a low charge warning of the battery or energy storage device, thresholds for issuing climate control messages, particularly temperature thresholds or humidity thresholds, or various tones may be set. These inputs can be used, in particular in combination with the position of the handle plate detected via the latching device, to switch different functions of the device or to switch different operating modes. Thus, for example, via the incoming pulses, such as a double tap, a mode of operation for changing parameters can be selected and by changing the position of the handle, for example, from a 3 o'clock to a 12 o'clock position parameters in one direction and changing the position of the Griffolive be changed from a 3 o'clock to a 6 o'clock position in a different direction.

It is exploited that these pulses are clearly distinguishable from alarm events. In order to avoid an unwanted change of an operating mode of the device, it may be provided in particular that the detection of a corresponding pulse, in particular a jogging or double tipping, is mediated by acoustic or optical signals, in particular when operating parameters are changed or when functions are switched on and off corresponding signals are output. This calibration and change of the operating mode of the device based on latching pulses and / or other types of pulses, such as tapping can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the circuit board on the connecting device.

In particular, calibration, but essentially the basic design using the 3D sensor, allows for automatic detection of positions such as 12 o'clock, 3/9 o'clock, 6 o'clock Positions is possible. Also, optional right / left side mounting on the window is possible without the need for further adjustment, as well as 180 ° twisted installation.

Thus, in particular, it is achieved that, for example, when the magnetic field is changed by elements arranged in the region of the window or the door, an unambiguous recognition of the respective position of the window or the door is made possible. By means of a corresponding memory device or a microprocessor of the device, it is thus possible to detect based on a programming of the microprocessor different positions, in particular pivotal positions of the door or the window by means of the first sensor device, at the same time the position of the handle foil by means of the first sensor to capture and so perform a calibration of the entire device, in particular for unambiguous identification of the respective position of the handle or window, for example, during the first installation or in a conversion of the device or the window or the door. At the same time, the glass breakage can also be detected by appropriate programming, as explained above.

In particular, it is thus possible that an alarm is triggered when the handle is in a closed position and a horizontal or vertical pivoting of the window or the door, in particular from a closed position, is detected. Also, it is enabled to trigger an alarm when the handle is in a partial unlock position and movement of the window or door about a pivot axis that is normally not allowed in that partial unlock position of the window or movement of the handle follower the Teilentriegelungsposition takes place in an unlocked position, although the window is not transferred in from a tilted position to a closed position. This is particularly the case when a breaking of a fitting part in a tilted position of the window takes place during a break-in. In particular, when using an acceleration sensor, an abnormal force on the frame of the window or the door itself be detected and so a burglary attempt to be detected. The device also makes it possible to activate by means of an input device, such as a push-button, in order to proactively turn on an alarm monitoring state in a tilted position of the window.

Furthermore, additional signals for displaying an alarm or a malfunction can be output via an output device. For example, there may be a circumferential, transparent light ring between the olive housing and the handle. In the arrangement of the circuit board in the region of the connecting device, the printed circuit board is thus arranged in the region of this illuminated ring. An optical output device arranged on the printed circuit board, which is thus securely connected with the grip foil or connecting device, thus reliably illuminates the circulating light ring. Thus, the light ring or the aperture as a signal generator for other applications such. the indication of a state of charge of an energy storage device or the issuance of further alarms, e.g. to warn of a fire when a smoke detector is integrated in the device. For example, a request for a battery change by color change signals, in particular by displaying an alternating red / green signal output. By means of a twilight sensor, the light ring can also be constantly illuminated when darkness sets in, so as to give a resident a sense of security and to signal a burglar to an alarm safeguard.

In addition, an optical or acoustic output device can also be designed as an input device at the same time, for example as a touch screen or designed as a piezo speaker, which can then be used simultaneously as a microphone to receive voice commands. For example, a voice command can be used to switch the alarm function on or off or to activate an additional parental control function via a voice command, in particular such that a Alarm, preferably an audible alarm, is issued when a change in the position of the handle foil is made.

Furthermore, the device may comprise a functional unit separate from the device, which in particular comprises a further sensor, such as a proximity sensor, in particular an infrared proximity sensor and / or a twilight sensor. By means of the functional unit then further environmental parameters can be detected.

The use of such a functional unit can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the printed circuit board on the connecting device or the handle foil.

A connection of the functional unit can in particular be wired, but also wireless or the functional unit can be designed as a, preferably retrofittable, plug-and-play functional unit. If, for example, in the case of a wired connection, an opening, in particular a hole, is provided in the window or door on the side facing away from the olive housing, the functional unit can move from the outside of a window or door frame through the window or door profile to the device connectable, in particular pluggable connectable, be attached.

This allows the device to provide more outside information and add additional features. For example, it may be provided that the functional unit comprises a proximity sensor and is recognized if persons approach from outside the window or the door. The device can then emit light and / or sound signals to the resident or the approaching person, in particular by means of a device formed separately from the device, or switch an interior or exterior illumination via corresponding radio applications.

Preferably, depending on a distance of the person to the functional unit, different intensities of the signal are selected, in particular different light intensity levels are switched on via the device. Thus, for example, a light flare core can be generated at a large distance, a stronger light signal can be output at a small distance, in particular combined with the output of signals via the device comprised input or output device, such as the previously circumscribed light ring, in particular can be switched in parallel to sound signals.

When using a twilight sensor in the functional unit further application options can be achieved, such as the control of another device designed separately from the device, such as a shutter motor for shutting down the shutters or for switching on interior or exterior lighting.

In order to achieve a climate control of an interior, the values supplied via the functional unit or the sensor present in the device, for example temperature values or moisture values, can be used to control a heating device, in particular a space heater. Thus, a corresponding heating profile can be passed through or via an electromechanical ventilation device, which may be formed as a separate device from the device or functional unit, a sufficient ventilation of a closed by the window or door space can be achieved.

A corresponding ventilation device can also be implemented in the device itself, for example by means of a vacuum valve, which establishes a connection with an outside of the window or the door.

Thus, when operating a fireplace, care must be taken to ensure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room, and that when operating a fireplace Extractor hood for a permanent air supply is ensured. By integrating a corresponding valve device, in particular an integrated vacuum valve, this operation of the fireplace or the extractor hood can be performed without additional measures to achieve adequate ventilation by a user must be made. As a second sensor used in the functional unit or the device itself, a carbon monoxide sensor can be used, which then controls the content of carbon monoxide, for example during operation of a chimney, and through the valve device or by means of the aeration device described above separately from the device Proactively performs the ventilation and / or simultaneously outputs an alarm through the output device.

Such a ventilation device can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the printed circuit board on the connecting device or the handle plate.

As a further safety function, the device allows, for example by recording the temperature values, to detect a fire in the interior and thus to output an alarm or to pass on a corresponding signal to a home automation center. Also can be triggered by the device upon detection of excessive smoke or carbon monoxide concentration or excessive heat or excessive vacuum further actions, in addition to the generation of an alarm, for example, the on or off of an interior - or outdoor lighting, that start up blinds or the like.

Also, the device may be connectable to a device separate from the device, which may be in the form of a drive device, such as an integrated worm gear. This drive device allows, for example, the change in the position of the handle foil, that is, for example, moving the device from one Locking in an unlocking or a Teilentriegelungsposition and then opening or closing the door or the window, this opening and closing of the window can be done in response to one or more of the above-described environmental situations, in particular depending on the size of recorded measured values, for example, the height of the concentration of harmful gases or the strength of a vacuum formed in the interior. This activation of the drive device can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the printed circuit board on the connecting device and / or the handle plate.

Due to the previously described connections of the device with the functional unit or a device separate from the device, further functions can be realized. Thus, in public buildings both in the private sector and in office complexes, the requirement for an emergency light and emergency displays is high. If a corresponding emergency situation is detected, the device makes it possible by communication with the device to pass on this information, in particular to forward it to each room in a building and thus output corresponding information. In this case, the device itself can also serve as the output device for such information. In particular, a multiplicity of devices according to the invention can be networked with one another, in particular independently of a central home automation center. The devices are networked, for example, according to the master-slave principle.

Furthermore, it allows the device to realize a presence detector or detection detector. Thus, as an input device, a corresponding reading device, for example, be provided for a person identifier, which allows to log in or out for the stay or work. Thus, for example, cleaners, but also craftsmen, such as window cleaners, log on the device when they start their work, for example, and this recorded person identification is on the device, in particular a data center, passed on to be able to control the exact working hours and work from there.

This networking of a plurality of devices and the recognition of persons can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the printed circuit board on the connecting device or the handle plate.

In addition, as an input device and a photo camera may be provided, which allows in particular in different emergency or alarm situations or a signal received via the data communication device interior monitoring along with storage or transmission of the recorded visual data. Thus, a remote monitoring of the room by means of the device is possible. Such a room monitoring can also be realized independently of the arrangement of the circuit board to the connecting device.

Overall, the facility allows for energy-efficient control of consumers within a building. Thus, by means of light measurement or presence detection via various sensors, for example a motion detector, a temperature detector or a moisture sensor, the light, ie an interior lighting, can be controlled fully automatically, thus minimizing energy consumption. This energy saving also results from the fact that via the device corresponding signals to a heating or climate control, in particular ventilation control, can be given, which allows an energy-optimized control of the climate in the room.

The above-described functional components, in particular the sensors of the device according to the invention, also enable the realization of living-home concepts. In order to meet the increasing aging of the population, one tries to live in the home environment To make it as pleasant as possible and to maintain the independence of the inhabitants as long as possible through many helpers.

The device according to the invention makes it possible, for example via integrated motion sensors, to lay a wireless mesh network in the room and thus to learn, on the basis of learning profiles, walking, upright and even self-learning the position of various pieces of furniture, for example a sofa, and so into the evaluation. whether the resident is sitting and lying as usual, that is, in a healthy state, or that the behavior of the person changes due to age or illness. For example, could also be detected by a force measurement on the handle upon actuation of Griffolive the decrease of various vital signs and thus more information about the state are obtained, for example, to pass an alarm to an emergency or nursing service to request support for the person.

It is also conceivable that in a parental control mode, which can be activated or deactivated via a corresponding input device, an alarm is triggered when the window is in a closed position and the handle is moved from a locking position to another position. Switching between different modes of the device can be done by the input device but also by passing through predetermined positions of the device and / or the window and / or the door.

A previously described calibration can also be effected by displaying via corresponding input devices, for example a button of the evaluation circuit, when the window is in a predetermined position intended for calibration.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, are explained in the preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to schematic drawings.

a top view of the olive housing of the institution of Fig. 1 containing a part of the latching device (without cover).

In Fig. 1 is a plan view of a device 1 according to the invention shown. As Fig. 1 can be seen, the device 1 is in the form of a window handle and includes a hand or handle part in the form of a Griffolive 3. The Griffolive 3 is rotatably mounted relative to an olive housing 5, wherein by the olive housing 5 a secure against rotation with the Griffolive third connected connecting device in the form of a square pin 7 passes.

The olive housing 5 includes holes 9, by means of which the device, in particular the olive housing 5, can be fixed to a window frame, not shown.

The device 1 comprises a monitoring device, by means of which the locking state of the window, which can be actuated via the device 1, but also the position of the device 1, in particular the handle plate 3, can be monitored. This monitoring device serves to generate alarms in various operating states of the device 1 or of the window to which the device 1 is attached. For this purpose, the handle sheet 3 has a recess 11, in which an output device in the form of a loudspeaker 13 is arranged. The speaker 13 is a in Fig. 1 Wire connection, not shown, electrically connected to a printed circuit board 15. As will be explained later, the printed circuit board 15 or a first sensor arranged on the printed circuit board 15 allows both the state of movement and the position of the device 1, in particular the handle leaf 3 and the window on which the device 1 is arranged, can be monitored.

In alternative embodiments, it may also be provided that the loudspeaker 13 is arranged in the olive housing 5.

In Fig. 1 it can be seen in particular that the circuit board 15 is arranged radially symmetrically about the square plug pin 7 within the olive housing 5, namely, as will be explained later, safe against rotation.

In Fig. 2 is a bottom view of the facility of Fig. 1 shown. In Fig. 2 However, a cover of the olive case 5 is not shown, so that it can be seen that the olive case 5 is manufactured in an injection molding process and comprises a first part of a locking device 17 explained later.

In Fig. 3 is a supervision of the institution 1 of Fig. 1 and 2 shown. As Fig. 3 can initially be seen, a recess 19 is further provided in the handle sheet 3, in which an energy storage, in particular a battery or an accumulator for supplying the monitoring device, in particular the circuit board 15 and arranged in the recess 11 speakers 13, 15 are arranged can. Also, this energy storage can alternatively be arranged in the olive housing 5, in particular a recess arranged there, instead of in the handle foil 3. The recess 19 can be closed in such a way in particular by means of a cover, that a smooth completion of the lower edge of the handle sheet 3 or the olive housing 5 is achieved. In Fig. 3 In addition, further details of the locking device 17 can be seen. Thus, the olive housing 5 in particular comprises a latching lug 21 of the latching device 17.

This locking lug 21 comes in predetermined positions of the handle sheet 3 relative to the olive case 5 in engagement with another, torque-proof connected to the handle sheet 3 and the square plug pin element of the latching device. In particular, the olive case 5 is an injection molded part, and the detent means, particularly the part of the detent means formed on the case 5, is integrally formed with the olive case 5.

In Fig. 4 a wireframe model of the device 1 is shown. Out Fig. 4 In particular, it can be seen how energy stores in the form of batteries 23 are arranged within the recess 19 formed in the handle plate 3.

In Fig. 5 is a plan view of the circuit board 15 and shown in FIG Fig. 5 In particular, the wired connection 25 of the printed circuit board 15 can be seen with the elements arranged in the handle foil 3, in particular in the form of the batteries 23 and the loudspeaker 13. On the circuit board 15, in particular, a first sensor in the form of a 3D sensor, more precisely a sensor of the type HNC 5843 from Honeywell or the type ADXL345 from Analog Devices is arranged. The sensor 27 makes it possible, in particular based on Earth magnetic field lines to determine a precise position and orientation of the sensor and thus the circuit board 15 in space. Also, a 3D acceleration sensor can be used to enable this position detection. For this purpose, the acceleration values are combined with time information in order to determine the respective position in the room. As Fig. 5 can still be seen, the circuit board 15 has a substantially rotationally symmetrical, in particular circular outer contour. In the middle of the printed circuit board 15, an opening 29 is formed, which makes it possible to put the printed circuit board 15 on the square plug pin 7.

On the square plug pin 7 is a fixing device 31, which is explained in more detail below, arranged. The fixing device 31 has on its outer contour a nose, which comes into engagement with a recess 33 of the printed circuit board 15, which is arranged in the opening 29. This makes it possible that the circuit board 15 and thus the eccentrically arranged on the circuit board 15 sensor 27 is disposed in a predetermined relative position to the square pin 7 and the olive housing 5.

In Fig. 6 is shown in more detail the patch on the square pin 7 fixing device 31. The fixing device 31 has a section 35 on which the printed circuit board 15 rests on the back ( Fig. 5 ). In addition, 31 further elements of the latching device 17 are arranged on the fixing device and indeed recesses 37 which in predetermined positions of the fixing device 31 relative to the olive housing 5 and thus the circuit board 15 and the sensor 27 to the olive housing in engagement with the locking lugs 21, which are arranged biased on the olive housing 5 comes. Due to the non-rotationally secure connection of the fixing device 31 on the square pin 7, in particular three positions of the square pin 7 can engage, in particular a locking position in which an actuated via the square pin 7 locking device of the window causes a locking of the window to a frame an unlocking position, in which the locking of the window to the frame, preferably at least partially solved, in particular to permit pivoting of the window about a vertical axis from a closed to an open position and a Teilentriegelungsstellung or position in which the window is such, preferably at least partially unlocked that a, in particular limited, rotation or tilting of Window is made possible around a horizontal axis from a closed position to a tilted position. Other detent positions are conceivable.

The arrangement of the guide plate 15 and thus of the sensor 27 on the part of the latching device 17 forming fixing device has the advantage that the best possible transmission of the latching device 17 resulting pulses to the sensor 27 is achieved.

It goes without saying that deviating positions of the square plug pin can be latched, in particular when the device 1 is used on a sliding door or on the sliding window, for example an unlocking position in which the sliding window can be moved from a closed and an open position.

In Fig. 7 is a different view of the square pin 7 and the fixing device 31 shown. Again Fig. 7 In addition, it can be seen, the fixing device 31 has a nose 39, which comes into engagement with the recess 33 of the circuit board 9 and this connects safe against rotation, on.

In Fig. 8 Finally, a plan view of the olive housing 5 is shown. As Fig. 8 can still be seen, the latching lug 21 is biased by a spring element 41 of the latching device 17. Fig. 8 is beyond the passage opening 43 for the in Fig. 8 not shown to remove square pin. Also is Fig. 8 can be seen that the latching device 2, the diametrically opposed latching lugs 21 has. This makes it possible in particular to define two latching positions of the square plug pin or the fixing device.
