Description
- This invention relates to a modular lock cylinder, in particular a modular cylinder containing at least one front module and one rear module to receive the cylinder lock rotor.
- At present and with regard to the state of the art it is common and known to use at least one front module and one rear module in modular lock cylinders, which are joined by means of a bolt or plate introduced in a direction that coincides with the axis of the lock cylinder, which bolt or plate is introduced in full or in part into both modules. These solutions that are in the market have the following disadvantages, however.
- Firstly, many systems for connecting modules use threaded bolts, associated with threaded holes existing in the lock cylinder modules. The need to have the modules machined in order to create the threaded holes increases the costs of production of these modules. It is also normal for these threaded bolts to be threaded at just one end with other methods needing to be used to secure the other end, such as pins. Secondly, there are solutions that use bolts or plates with holes, via which a bolt or pin is introduced which holds them in position within the lock cylinder module. These solutions are less robust, since by making one or more holes in a part with small dimensions, the stress concentration within this part is increased and therefore it is more likely that it will fracture when the pins are introduced with tools such as hammers, used because these pins require pressure to be applied. Another disadvantage that this type of connection between lock cylinder modules has is that it is normal for the connection point to be far away from the axis of the cylinder, favouring the torque generated in the fixing bolt during a fraudulent attempt to open the lock.

EP2525022A2 discloses a lock cylinder with modules coupled with one another by connection screws. -
DE3738832A1 discloses a modular lock cylinder comprising a front module, a rear module and an intermediate module. Each module contains two chambers for allocating a fixing bolt in each one, the axial displacement of said fixing bolts being avoided introducing a fastening pin between both fixing bolts, said fixing bolts having a little recess at each end for allocating the corresponding fastening pin. - In view of this state of affairs, the present invention refers to a modular lock cylinder according to claim 1.
- Thanks to this configuration the various modules of the lock cylinder can be successfully connected in a simple manner. The fixing bolts, to be introduced coaxially with regard to the axis of the cylinder, can be introduced into the parallel chambers disposed in the various modules via either of their ends, because both ends are the same and no specific position is required. In addition, to secure these fixing bolts and prevent them from leaving their position within the chamber parallel to the axis of the cylinder, fastening pins are arranged transversally which connect with the circumferential recesses of semi-circular section existing in these fixing bolts, preventing their axial displacement. As a second method of securing the modules to one another bushings are used which are positioned between the various modules, accommodated in the recesses existing at the ends of the chambers accommodating the lock rotor, such that this chamber is properly aligned. Furthermore, the distance from the axis of the cylinder to the parallel chamber accommodating the fixing bolt is reduced to avoid the torque occurring when an attempt is made to force the modular lock cylinder being sufficiently great to lead to it fracturing.
- It is necessary to stress the importance of creating the circumferential recesses in the fixing bolt with a semi-circular section as opposed to other designs, since these increase the resistance of the modular lock cylinder and its security against attempts to force the lock.
- For a better understanding of the nature of the invention the attached drawings show an industrial embodiment which has the character of a merely illustrative and non-limiting example.

- With reference to the drawings and reference numerals listed above, the attached diagrams illustrate a preferred mode of carrying out the subject matter of the invention, relating to a modular lock cylinder, containing the cylinder lock rotor, in which both the front module (2) and the rear module (3) contain a chamber (5) parallel to the cylinder axis (6) distinctly separated from this and capable of receiving partially a fixing bolt (7) via either of its ends, whereby each of these ends of the fixing bolt (7) comprises a circumferential recess (8) of semi-circular section at these ends, said circumferential recesses (8) accommodating two fastening pins (9) of matching semi-circular section introduced transversally to the cylinder axis (6) which act against the fixing bolt (7), both the front module (2) and the rear module (3) having a recess (12) at the end of their chamber of the housing of the rotor capable of receiving a bushing (11).
-
Figure 1 shows the various elements in the composition of an embodiment of this modular lock cylinder (1), comprising a front module (2), a rear module (3) and two intermediate modules (4), which employ two fixing bolts (7) and three bushings (11) to connect them. - The various modules of the modular lock cylinder (1) in
Figure 1 are secured to one another in the following way. Taking one of the connections, for example the connection between the front module (2) and the intermediate module (4), firstly the fixing bolt (7) is introduced via either of its ends into the chamber (5) parallel to the cylinder axis (6) of one of the modules to be connected. It should be pointed out that the fixing bolts (7) are reversible, since the method of connection is the same at both ends. Once the fixing bolt (7) reaches the maximum depth in the axial chamber (5) of the module into which it has been introduced, the fastening pins (9) are used by introducing them into the respective transversal chambers (10). As shown inFigure 2b , these fastening pins (9) prevent the axial displacement of the fixing bolt (7) as they are positioned in the circumferential recesses (8) disposed at the ends of this fixing bolt (7). Then, once one end of the fixing bolt (7) has been located in one of the modules, a bushing (11) is positioned in the recess (12) corresponding to this module, such that this bushing (11) is partially introduced into the chamber accommodating the rotor. Once this action has been taken, the other end of the fixing bolt (7) and the remainder of the bushing (11) are introduced into the parallel chamber (5) and into the recess (12), respectively, of the adjacent module. Finally, it is again necessary to prevent the fixing bolt (7) from being movable axially within the parallel chamber (5), so that fastening pins (9) are once again used, which are introduced via the transversal chambers (10) of the module in which it is desired to perform the fastening and accommodated in the corresponding circumferential recesses (8). - The remaining modules are connected in the same way as described for the above connection.
- As can be seen from the section of
Figure 2a , both the fixing bolt (7) and the bushing (11) have been fully introduced between the various modules forming the modular lock cylinder (1). The main function of these fixing bolts (7) is to keep the front module (2), the rear module (3) and the intermediate modules (4) connected. The bushings (11) disposed in the chamber accommodating the rotor, have the function of providing a second way of fastening and also to provide the correct alignment of the chamber accommodating the rotor. - By means of the connections made between the lock modules a modular lock cylinder (1) is arrived at which is able to be used on doors of differing thickness, with high resistance to any fraudulent attempt to open them, since their connection is close to the cylinder axis (6), meaning that greater force is required to fracture it.
- It should be pointed out that the semi-circular design of the circumferential recesses (8) lends greater resistance to the connection, due to a reduction in the stress concentration in these areas, avoiding a possible fracture in these areas of the fixing bolt (7).
- The essence of this patent is not altered by any variation in materials, shape, size and arrangement of the constituent elements, which are described in a non-limiting manner.
