Description
- The present invention relates to a lock activator for motorized activation of a lock arranged in e.g. a door wing, and where the lock activator comprises a housing with a base plate adapted for mounting the housing on a surface on e.g. the door wing, and where the housing contains a torque axle being rotatably mounted in the housing so that one end of the torque axle extends through or is accessible through an opening in the base plate, and being adapted for transferring torque to another axle arranged in the lock in order to activate the lock, and where the housing further contains an electric motor and a transmission comprising a first and a second cogwheel being adapted for transferring torque produced by the electric motor to the torque axle, and thereby driving the torque axle to rotate when the motor is rotating
- Lock activators of this kind are used for locking and unlocking mechanical locks without necessarily using a mechanical key and thereby enabling remote control, activation of the lock from a distance, activation via short range wireless data communication or simply by using an electronic keypad.
- A general problem with this kind of lock activators is however that it is inconvenient to manually turn the electronic motor and/or the gear train arranged for activating the door lock when the the lock from time to time be operated by using the mechanical key e.g. from the outside (or public side) side of the door or by turning the lock knob arranged e.g. on the inside (or safe side) of the door, and especially in situations where the electric motor or the gear train is unable to rotate due to some kind of malfunction, then it may be impossible to unlock the lock.
- On this background it is the purpose of the present invention to provide a lock activator, where manual operation of the lock will feel very close to the feeling of operating the same mechanical lock without the electric lock activator.
- This is obtained by the invention defined in the introduction and in that at least one of the cogwheels is mounted on a disengagement means adapted for being positioned in first position where the first and second cogwheels are engaging with each other, and a second position where the first and second cogwheels are disengaged.
- In a preferred embodiment the first cogwheel is fixed on the torque axle and the second cogwheel is fixed on a second axle mounted on the disengagement means, and where the disengagement means comprises means adapted for moving the second axle in such a way that the second cogwheel is moved by the disengagement means between the first and the second position. Thereby the first cogwheel is the only cowheel that needs to be turned when operating the lock manually, and hence the electric motor or the gear train will not cause any resistance to manually turning the lock knob or the key.
- The second cogwheel may in this relation be arranged so that it is in permanent engagement with a third cogwheel, said third cogwheel being driven directly or indirectly via other gears, by the electric motor.
- Furthermore an especially simple embodiment is obtained where the third cogwheel is mounted on a third axle, and the torque axle as well as the second and the third axle being arranged parallel to each other, and where the disengagement means comprises a tilting mechanism having a first arm extending on one side of the third axle, and where the second axle with the second cogwheel is mounted on a first arm of the tilting mechanism, and the tilting mechanism is mounted so that it is able to rotate both ways around the third axle, and thereby be moved into its first and second position.
- In a further preferred embodiment a fourth cogwheel is mounted on a fourth axle being parallel to the third axle, and arranged on a second arm on the tilting mechanism extending from the opposite side of the third axle as the first arm of the tilting mechanism, and the fourth cogwheel and the fourth axle is positioned such that the fourth cogwheel are in engagement with the first cogwheel when the second disengagement means is moved to its second position, and disengaged when the disengagement means is moved to its first position. Thereby the lock activator is able by simple means to turn the torque axle both ways, and thereby locking and unlocking the lock.
- In an especially reliable and simple embodiment the lock activator comprises means for moving the disengagement means to an intermediary position between its first and second position, and being arranged such that neither the second nor the fourth cogwheel is engaging the first cogwheel, when the disengagement means is moved to the intermediate position.
- The tilting mechanism may advantageously be adapted to frictionally engage with the third cogwheel and/or the third axle, so that when the third cogwheel rotates, then the tilting mechanism rotates with the third cogwheel only until the second or the fourth cogwheel engages with the first cogwheel. Thereby the operation of the tilting mechanism is done automatically when the electric motor rotates.
- In this relation control means may be adapted for controlling the electric motor, so that it is able, upon appropriate activation, to rotate the third cogwheel in such a way that the second cogwheel is moved to its first or second position.
- Furthermore the control means may advantageously be adapted to control the electric motor, so that it stops running when the disengagement means is positioned in the first or second position, and to shortly reverse the electric motor, so that the third cogwheel is moved to its intermediate position before the electric motor stop running.
- In a preferred embodiment the electric motor is powered by one or more electric batteries, and the lock activator comprises a housing containing at least the electric motor, the cogwheels and the electric battery.

second cogwheel 10 being mounted on a second axle 13 being parallel to thetorque axle 4. The second cogwheel is in permanent engagement with athird cogwheel 12 being mounted on athird axle 14 which is fixed with respect to thefirst axle 4. - The second axle 13, and thereby the
second cogwheel 10 is mounted on atilting mechanism 16 being formed as a yoke, and mounted so that it can rotate around thethird axle 14 in order to move the second axle 13 and thereby thesecond cogwheel 10 to a first, a second or the intermediate position shown in the figures. In the intermediate position shown in the figures, and in the second position where thesecond cogwheel 10 is moved further away from thefirst cogwheel 9, thesecond cogwheel 10 do not engage with thefirst cogwheel 9. However in the first position (not shown in the figures) thesecond cogwheel 10 is moved closer to thefirst cogwheel 9 and into engagement with it. - On the other side of the
third axle 14 and the third cogwheel 12 afourth axle 15 with afourth cogwheel 11 is arranged on thetilting mechanism 16, so that thefourth axle 15 is parallel to thetorque axle 4, and such that it moves simultaneously with the movement of the second axle 13 and thesecond cogwheel 10, and so that it moves into engagement with thefirst cogwheel 9, when thethird cogwheel 10 is moved to its second position (not shown), and so that it does not engage with thefirst cogwheel 9, when the third cogwheel 10is moved to its intermediate (shown) or first (not shown) position. - According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the
tilting mechanism 16 is in frictional contact with thethird cogwheel 12, so that when thethird cogwheel 12 rotates, then thetilting mechanism 16 will rotate in the same direction until the second or thefourth cogwheel tilting mechanism 16 stops rotating, but thethird cogwheel 12 is allowed to keep rotating due to its loose frictional contact with thetilting mechanism 16. - The frictional contact between the
third cogwheel 11 and thetilting mechanism 16 also allows that the tilting mechanism can be moved even if the electric motor is not rotating, and so that the second cogwheels can moved from its first or second position and to its intermediate position shown in the figures, just by turning the lock knob and thereby pressing the second or thefourth cogwheel first cogwheel 9. - The preferred embodiment of the invention, as shown in the figures, further comprises a
