Definitions
- the present invention relates to a padlock for securing a switch of an industrial plant according to the preamble of claims 1 and 14.
- the padlock for this purpose comprises a lock body and a bracket, which is held displaceably on the lock body, wherein the lock body is a lock housing made of plastic, a lock cylinder having a rotatable cylinder core and a rotatable locking member, wherein the cylinder core and the locking member are rotatably coupled to each other by means of a coupling element, and wherein the locking member is rotatable from a release position to a locking position to lock the bracket to the lock body.
- a particular application of a padlock is in the field of occupational safety.
- the maintenance personnel brings a switch associated with the industrial plant for the duration of maintenance in an off position and secures in this position, ie the switch is immediately blocked or access to the switch is locked.
- the switch mentioned is typically a power supply switch, for example, a main electrical switch of a control device or a Energy supply device of the industrial plant (eg power switch box).
- the switch mentioned may be, for example, a valve of a liquid or gas line.
- each maintenance person hangs a padlock and locks this before starting work on the said switch or on a barrier associated with the switch.
- the switch is thereby secured in its off position, i. the switch can not be accidentally returned to an on position by another person.
- the maintenance person finishes their work, they unlock their padlock and release it from the switch.
- Each maintenance person is usually assigned his own individual padlock (or several individual padlocks). This procedure is also called lockout. Accordingly, the padlock used is referred to as lockout lock.
- receptacles for example, eyelets
- a securing claw can be used, which is hooked into the relevant eyelet of the switch or the associated locking device and in turn has several hooks for a respective padlock. Only when the last padlock has been removed from the safety claw, the safety claw can be removed from the switch, so that it can be brought back into the on position.
- the lockout lock used with a plastic housing, wherein a bracket is held displaceably on the lock housing, and wherein a lock cylinder is arranged in the lock housing.
- the lock cylinder can be selectively brought from an open position to a locking position to lock the bracket to the lock housing after the bracket has been hung for example in an opening of the switch.
- the design of the lock housing made of plastic results in a particularly lightweight padlock, which is advantageous when used as a lockout lock, since the maintenance personnel sometimes carry several lockout locks simultaneously.
- a plastic housing may also contribute to a desired electrical insulation.
- by using a plastic housing a particularly simple way of color marking the padlock.
- the lower stability of a plastic housing compared to a metal lock case is in a lockout lock no serious drawback, since the padlock serves only to secure a switch against unintentional operation, but not, for example, as theft protection.
- a coupling element can be provided in the lock housing, which connects the locking member and the cylinder core in rotation with each other.
- the coupling element must be designed to be longer, the larger the length of the lock housing.
- the coupling element and the locking member are integrally formed as a zinc diecasting, wherein the coupling element is designed as a solid cylinder.
- the coupling element is mounted on reinforcing ribs of the lock housing, which, for example, from the US 5,755,121 is known.
- the lock housing is made of plastic and is composed of two halves.
- the cylindrical coupling element may be guided, for example, in a cylinder jacket surface, resulting in a support of the coupling element along the entire cylinder jacket surface. Due to the large surfaces rubbing each other, a high frictional force is generated, which can also lead to sluggish to use padlocks.
- the US 220 637 A discloses a padlock according to the preamble of claims 1 and 14.
- From the US Pat. No. 6,848,283 B1 is a padlock known, which can be opened both by means of a number combination and additionally with a key. When opening by means of the key, a locking member is retracted without rotational movement in the lock housing and releases a strap.
- the coupling element between the locking member and the lock cylinder has at least a first bearing portion, a second bearing portion and therebetween a shaft portion which connects the first bearing portion with the second bearing portion and has a smaller diameter than the two bearing sections.
- the bearing portions of the coupling element are thus thickened compared to the shaft portion, which may result in a substantially dumbbell shape of the coupling element.
- Compared to a fully cylindrical design of the coupling element is significantly less by the dumbbell shape Material needed for the coupling element, resulting in a lower weight of the coupling element and thus the padlock.
- the shaft portion of the coupling element is advantageously not applied to an example cylindrical bearing surface of the lock housing for the coupling element. Between the shaft portion of the coupling element and an associated inner surface of the lock housing So is a distance provided. Only the first and second bearing sections are in contact with the bearing surface. Due to the significantly lower surface of the bearing sections compared to a solid cylinder, the frictional force between the bearing surface and the coupling element is greatly reduced. An opening and closing the padlock is therefore associated with less effort.
- the first bearing portion is arranged at a first end of the coupling element and the second bearing portion at a second end of the coupling element.
- the coupling element can rest only in end portions of bearing surfaces of the lock housing, whereby the coupling element is mounted with respect to its axis of rotation in a particularly stable angular position. Due to the enlarged in diameter end portions of the coupling element may also result in a good frictional connection with the locking member and the lock cylinder.
- the bearing portions may also be spaced from the ends of the coupling element, and / or more than two bearing portions may be provided with a respective intermediate shaft portion.
- the bearing portions may also be spaced from the ends of the coupling element, and / or more than two bearing portions may be provided with a respective intermediate shaft portion.
- only two bearing portions and between a shaft portion are provided between the locking member and the lock cylinder.
- the bearing sections of the coupling element have cylindrical bearing surfaces on their circumference.
- the coupling element can thus be essentially rotationally symmetrical be formed about a rotational axis, wherein the axis of rotation coincides with the axis of the cylindrical bearing surfaces and the shaft portion.
- the coupling element can be mounted axially displaceable in the lock housing, whereby the assembly of the padlock during manufacture can be simplified.
- the bearing portions may be in the shape of a torus segment, i. the bearing surfaces have the shape of a rotated about the axis of rotation of the coupling element circular section. Curvatures other than circular are also possible, so that the bearing surfaces are e.g. the lateral surface of a barrel shape can correspond.
- the lock housing on a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion, wherein the first abutment portion forms a sliding bearing seat for the first bearing portion of the coupling element and the second abutment portion forms a sliding bearing seat for the second bearing portion of the coupling element.
- the first and second abutment portion of the lock housing may be formed complementary to the first and second bearing portion of the coupling element. In the region of the shaft portion can thus be dispensed with an abutment, which can simplify the production of the lock housing.
- the coupling element is formed from plastic.
- a plastic embodiment further reduces the weight of the coupling element even further, wherein the coupling element is simultaneously easy and inexpensive to produce, for example, by an injection molding process.
- a coupling element formed from plastic at the same time an electrical insulation between the locking member and cylinder core created. In combination with the molded plastic lock body, a complete electrical insulation between the bracket and the locking member on the one hand and the cylinder core, in which a key is inserted, on the other hand be created.
- the locking member displaces and / or blocks in a locking position preferably at least one locking element which engages with the bracket.
- the locking element may be formed by two blocking balls, which engage in spherical recesses of the bracket and thus prevent withdrawal of the bracket from the lock housing in the locked state.
- a transition section is provided between the shaft section and the respective bearing section of the coupling element, in which the diameter of the coupling element is continuously reduced.
- the coupling element thus tapers in the transition section until the diameter of the shaft section is reached.
- the transition portion may have a part-circular or partially elliptical contour, but other curvatures are possible. Due to such a continuous reduction in diameter results in a higher stability of the coupling element against torsional forces, so that with respect to a coupling element with a purely stepped transition between the respective bearing portion and the shaft portion an even smaller diameter of the shaft portion can be realized with the same stability.
- the cylinder core has a driven section and the coupling element has a first coupling section at the first end, the driven section and the first coupling section being in positive engagement with one another.
- the first coupling section and the output section serve to reliably rotatably couple the cylinder core with the coupling element.
- the first coupling portion may be formed, for example, partially circular, in particular semicircular, as a straight web or as a slot.
- the output section may also be part-circular, in particular semicircular, or formed as a slot or web.
- the coupling element and the locking member are formed by separate parts. Coupling element and locking member can thus be made separately from each other. This makes it possible, for example, to provide coupling elements of different lengths, wherein the length of the coupling element is adapted to the length of the lock housing.
- the coupling element at the second end a second coupling portion and the locking member has a drive portion, wherein the second coupling portion and the drive portion are positively engaged with each other.
- the second coupling section and the drive section can be designed in the same different ways as the output section and the first coupling section.
- the second coupling section and the drive section are formed identically to the output section and the first coupling section, whereby a symmetrically shaped coupling element can result. Consequently, a correct orientation of the coupling element need not be considered during assembly of the padlock.
- the coupling element is an integral part of the locking member. Coupling element and locking member can thus be formed by a single component, which can simplify the installation of the padlock.
- the lock body has at least one locking element (for example two blocking balls) which is movably mounted in a locking area of the lock housing, the locking element being adapted, in the locking position, for the locking element Rotate the axis of rotation of the locking member radially in the direction of the bracket to lock the bracket to the lock body.
- the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion of the coupling element may be arranged in an extension region of the lock housing, which is arranged with respect to the axis of rotation of the locking member axially between the locking portion of the lock housing and the lock cylinder.
- the coupling element is aligned along a rotational axis of the cylinder core, wherein the coupling element in the direction of Seen axis of rotation of the cylinder core is longer than the respective diameter of the bearing sections.
- the axis of rotation runs in one direction between the lock cylinder and the locking member.
- the coupling element can thus be made longer than the respective diameter of the bearing sections.
- the length of the coupling element can be more than twice as large as a maximum diameter of the bearing sections.
- the lock housing in the direction of an axis of rotation of the coupling element is at least twice as long as the maximum width of the lock housing in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coupling element.
- the lock housing is thus at least twice as "high” as "wide", whereby sufficient space for a bilingual lettering of the lock housing or the attachment of a photo of the respective maintenance person can be available.
- a warning before removing the padlock in two languages can be attached, whereby the padlock can be used preferably in companies that employ employees with different native languages.

- the alternative inventive padlock is characterized in that the coupling element and the locking member are formed by separate parts, wherein the coupling element is mounted at least on a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion of the lock housing and the lock housing between the first and the second abutment portion a continuous Exi einsabites comprises, in which the lock housing is set back from the abutment portions and thereby spaced from the coupling element.
- coupling element and locking member Due to the formation of coupling element and locking member as separate parts coupling element and locking member can be made of different materials. This makes it possible to produce, for example, the locking member made of metal in order to achieve the highest possible stability. To save weight, the coupling element may be formed of plastic.
- the coupling element has a first end and a second end, wherein the coupling element is mounted with the first end to the first abutment portion of the lock housing and is mounted with the second end to the second abutment portion of the lock housing.
- the coupling element is mounted only on the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion of the lock housing.
- the coupling element can thus be supported solely by the two abutment portions on the lock housing, whereby only friction can occur at the abutment portions.
- padlock 10 includes a lock housing 12 and a bracket 14.
- the lock housing 12 is circumferentially made in one piece, whereby a tolerant welding of housing parts can be omitted.
- the bracket 14 has a U-shape with a shorter leg and a longer leg. On both legs of the bracket 14, an inwardly facing locking recess 16 is formed. At the free end of the longer leg, an annular groove 18 is further provided with an abutting stopper head 20.
