Description

The invention relates to a frame monitoring device for windows or doors according to the preamble of claim 1 and a window or a door with such a frame monitoring device.

Frame monitoring devices of the generic type are known from the prior art in various embodiments. Is purely exemplary on the EP 2 199 988 A1 directed. They are usually mounted in the fold between the casement and the frame and serve to detect a movement of the wing relative to the frame, for example by changing a switching state. This information is then transmitted wirelessly with a transmitting unit to a receiver and further processed by this, for example, to display a change of state at an output device and / or to issue a warning message.

In particular, the goal is to provide a frame monitoring device with a compact and the overall visual impression of the window or the door as little as possible impairing design. This should be well protected by an invention against manipulation attempts such as simulated switching states that are produced by tools. According to a development, which can also be regarded as a separate invention, a secure wireless transmission of information is also feasible.

Achieving one or both of these goals is the object of the invention.

This object is solved by the subject-matter of claims 1, 9, 10 and 11.

According to claim 1, a frame monitoring device for a window or a door is provided with a mounting base and with an electronic unit, which has a one-piece or multi-piece switching device and / or is connected to this, as well as arranged on the mounting base or formed locking piece having at least one inlet region for a locking pin, wherein the switching device is arranged wholly or partly in the inlet region. The switching device is so well protected against manipulation attempts eg by burglars.

It can also be advantageously provided that the inlet region has at least one undercut region and that the switching device is arranged wholly or partly in the undercut region, in particular between the locking piece and the mounting base. In terms of such a particularly manipulation-proof design, the switching device can furthermore advantageously have an actuating element which is arranged wholly or partly in the undercut region between the locking piece and the mounting base.

It is then advantageous if the switching device, in particular its actuating element, at least in a switching position of at least two or more switching positions of the switching device is completely hidden, and it is also covered by the locking piece. Preferably, this switching position corresponds to the closed position of the window or the door. The switching device is then particularly well protected against manipulation of the window, preferably partially covered by the locking piece and partially covered by an electronics housing.

It is advantageous if the switching device, in particular its actuating element, at least in a second of the at least two switching positions protrudes into the inlet region of the locking piece and thus is not arranged partially covered in this switching position.

It is also advantageous and safe if the switching device, in particular its actuating element, is in the first switching position with a first end below the locking piece, and if the other end protrudes into an electronics housing of the electronic unit and interacts there with a switching element.

It is further advantageous and functionally safe and simple according to another variant, when the switching element is a toggle switch which projects into a recess of the actuating element.

The invention also provides a window or door having one or more frame monitoring devices according to one or more of the preceding claims. In the simplest case, only one of the frame monitoring devices is provided on the window or the door. However, it is also conceivable and advantageous to provide two or more of the frame monitoring devices on the window or the door. Because in the latter case, more complex monitoring against manipulation attempts, for example, a comparison of the switching states of two or more provided in a fold frame monitoring devices to possibly different signals of this plurality of frame monitoring devices against the background of two or more possible switching states on To close manipulation attempts or already done manipulations.

For further evaluation, for example, whether a closure, a proper opening or about a misuse or sabotage of the monitored window or the monitored door is present, several monitoring devices can send signals which are different from each other, for example coded. It is also conceivable that in each case a different or coded signal is sent for each switching state of the individual monitoring device. It is possible and quite reasonable to design the embodiment so that a plurality of switching states and a plurality of monitoring devices, a clear evaluation allows which switching state is present at which monitoring device. The signals can be combined, forwarded or evaluated in the receiver individually or even more preferably in groups. The evaluation may, for example, have as a result a log or be converted into an alarm scenario or a maintenance request. According to a development, which also forms an independent invention, it is advantageously provided that the functional electronics is provided with an antenna unit, which is arranged next to the mounting base spaced therefrom, so that the antenna unit spaced from the rest of the frame monitoring device to a window or a door is mounted. Because this makes it possible to provide a window or door with a frame and a sash and a folding area between the sash and the sash, with one or more frame surveillance devices mounted and housed in the seaming area is further, wherein the antenna unit further protrudes outwardly from the fold region by a gap to the outside, in particular by a gap, so that an antenna of the antenna unit is largely or completely outside of the gap.

It is further advantageous in terms of a window or not very visually impairing design and good transmission behavior when the antenna unit has the antenna and this at least partially, in particular one-sided covering cover which is formed as a cover strip and which from the Gap protrudes outwards and rests on the frame on one outer side.

It can be advantageously provided that extends the antenna and / or its cover in the direction Y 1 - 15 mm, preferably 1 mm to 5 mm.

In this sense, it is further expedient if the cover strip has an elongated, flat shape.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the remaining subclaims.

Fig. 1 shows a frame monitoring device 1 for a window or a door. This has here a mounting base 2 and a releasably thereto with fastening means such as latching and / or positive locking means 7 arranged electronic unit 3 ( Fig. 1a , b, 2a, b, c). This modular design is very beneficial. The electronics unit 3 could also be arranged next to the mounting base (not shown).

The electronics unit can have an electrochemical energy store or a generator powered by motion energy. Both can also be interchangeable.

The electronic unit 3 has a multi-part - closable - electronics housing 4 and arranged in the electronics housing 4 functional electronics 5 ( Fig. 1c ).

The functional electronics 5 has a switching device 6 and a transmitting unit (not to be seen in detail here). The transmitting unit is designed for wireless signal transmission. It is connected to an antenna unit 8. The antenna unit 8 is disposed outside the electronics housing 4 and connected to the transmitting unit in the electronics housing 4 by a connection portion 9 (e.g., a conductive wire).

The antenna unit 8 has the actual antenna 10 and a cover 11 which covers this at least partially, in particular on one side. This cover 11 is designed here as a cover strip. The cover strip has an elongated, flat shape.

The antenna 10 is made of conductive material, and is e.g. designed as an antenna rod or wire. The cover 11, however, preferably consists of a non-conductive material such as a non-conductive plastic.

The electronics housing 4 has a narrow elongated shape. It has a main extension direction X. The antenna unit 8 is parallel to this main extension direction X close to the mounting base 2 and to the electronics housing 4 parallel to these two elements, preferably under the electronics housing 4 and adjacent to the mounting base. 2

The mounting base 2 is designed so that the electronics housing 4 can be placed on it. The mounting base 2 per se is designed to be mounted in a groove, in particular an undercut groove of a window profile, in particular a window frame profile. The elements provided here by way of example are described below. The mounting base 2 has at least one support area 12, which is designed to be placed on the window profile. He also has a foot 13 which is adapted to engage the undercut groove form fit.

The mounting base 2 is longer in the main extension direction X of the frame monitoring device or the window profile than the electronics housing 4. It is on both sides with the support areas 12 and attachment portions 14, 15 formed on the electronics housing 4 before ( Fig. 1b ).

The foot 13 of the mounting base 2 has here laterally projections 16, 17, in particular on the type laterally projecting strips on ( Fig. 1c ). The mounting portions 14, 15 are further provided with screw holes 18, 19, through which screws 20, 21, for example, grub screws are screwed.

These screws 20, 21 are against a background - in particular a groove bottom of the window profile, in particular the Blendrahmenprofils- rotatable as an abutment, so that the mounting base 2 can be easily raised relative to the groove base. Such is the foot 13 of the mounting base 2 with the lateral projections 16, 17 in an undercut groove of a window profile, in particular a frame profile, clamped and thus mounted and locked in this.

On the mounting base 2 is also - between the electronics housing 4 and the one mounting portion 14, a locking piece 22 for a locking pin 125 (eg, a closing roller and / or a mushroom pin) of the wing on (see Fig. 2b and Fig. 4 ) intended. The locking piece 22 has an here approximately U-shaped inlet region 23, which is open in the main extension direction X to one side and in which the locking pin can run in the direction -X. On the other side it is closed by the bottom of the U.

The inlet region 23 further points upward - this means for folding area or away from the mounting base 2 - towards a smaller opening width than in the direction of the mounting base 23. In this way, an undercut portion 29 is formed, in which, for example, a mushroom head of a locking pin 129 can run.

The locking piece 22 is here designed perpendicular to the main extension direction X as a bridge or a bow. Thus arise here one or more undercut areas 29 of the inlet region 23 laterally at this, in which the preferably mushroom-shaped locking pin 125 may also run on the outer circumference, so that it can be held upwards perpendicular to the mounting base 2 in a locking position.

In this case, at least one (here mechanical) actuating element 24 of the switching device 6 is also arranged in the inlet region 23 and / or in the undercut regions 29 on the locking piece 22.

Here, the actuating element 24 protrudes with an actuating portion or end 25 so the area of the locking piece 22 (here even in the U-shaped receiving portion 23), that there is a retraction of the locking pin from this against the direction X and in the direction -X is displaceable or moved.

In the closed position of the window, which corresponds to the position in which the locking pin 125 has been moved maximally far into the inlet region 23 of the locking piece 22, the actuating element 24 is preferably partially or completely completely hidden under the locking piece 22 or between the Latch piece 22 and the rest of the mounting base 2 and the actuator 24 and otherwise possibly in the interior of the electronics housing 4. It is there with a tool not or almost impossible to reach and not to move. Therefore, the frame monitoring device 1 according to this variant and designed as an independent invention solution to be considered very burglar resistant. The actuator 24 may be directly part of an electrical switch, such as the button of a pushbutton switch, which would then form the switching device. Here, however, another way is chosen, which will be described further below.

The actuating element 24 then extends, starting from the actuating section 25, into the electronics housing 4 with a rod section 26. It is therefore advantageous here also part of the (pre-assembled) electronic unit. 3

The actuating element 24 is used here for switching a further electrical switching element of the switching device 6, here advantageously simply a toggle switch 27, which in a correspondingly beveled at the edges shaped recess 28 of the actuating element 24 engages and / which can be switched by a linear displacement of the actuating element 24 as a result of insertion through the incoming or a release by the expiring locking pin in the direction X or in the direction -X ( Fig. 2b, 2c in 2b with locking pin 125). Possibly. For this purpose, the actuating element 24 is provided with a return spring 30 ( Fig. 1b ), which on the one hand on the actuating element 24 and on the other hand on an abutment, for example, on a wall 31 of the electronics housing 4 in addition to spring-loaded designed to release.

The switching state of the switching element - here the toggle switch 27 - is sensed by the functional electronics 5. For this purpose, the toggle switch 27 is connected to the functional electronics 5. The run in lock 125 moves the actuator 24 and via this the toggle switch 27 in the first switching position of Fig. 2b , This corresponds to a closed state of the window, since the locking pin 15 can not be lifted. If the locking pin 125 is released from the inlet region 23, the actuating portion 24 moves back (eg spring-loaded, not shown here). This tilts the toggle switch 27 in the second switching position of Fig. 2c , This corresponds to the opening state of the window, since the locking pin 125 lifted off and the wing 120 can be opened.

The functional electronics 5 is designed to wirelessly transmit information about the respective switching state and / or about a change of this state via the transmitting unit 7 and the antenna unit 8 connected thereto.

In this case, this wireless transmission can be carried out in any frequency and according to any standard, such as by radio, or an ENOCEAN or Bluetooth interface or via infrared or the like. Preferably, a BUS protocol is used. A corresponding associated - to the window preferably spaced - receiver is not shown here.

Hereinafter, a preferred manner of arranging and mounting the frame monitoring apparatus 1 on a window 100 will be described.

The window 100 - see Fig. 3a and 3b and Fig. 4 and additionally the Fig. 5 to 8 - has a frame 110 and a wing 120 with a sash 121. The frame 10 and / or the sash 121 are preferably - but not mandatory - partially made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy or of another material such as plastic.

The wing 120 or the wing frame 121 are movable relative to the frame 110, in particular pivotable about a horizontal axis and / or rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation and / or parallel.

Between the window frame 110 and the sash frame 121, a folding area 130 is formed on at least three sides of the window frame or completely circumferentially, in which the window frame 110 and the sash frame 121 are defined spaced from one another (see Fig. 4 ).

To realize the relative movement between the frame 110 and the sash 121 are not shown here rotary and / or pivot bearings.

In addition, a purely mechanical or possibly also partially electromechanical locking fitting is provided on the window, which is movable by a handle 126 on the casement. He here has locking bars 127 and / or locking elements such as one or more of the locking pin 125 (see Fig. 4 ).

At least one of these locking elements is associated with one of the frame monitoring devices 1. However, several of the frame monitoring devices may be provided on different locking pins 125, which makes more complex condition monitoring and monitoring against manipulation attempts possible.

The window serves to close a building opening. It separates a first space I from a second space II ( Fig. 4 ).

The casement 121 overlaps with a cover web 122 in the space I a section (here a few mm short) of the frame 110th

The formed in this area between the sash 121 - the web 122 - and the frame 110 gap 131 is closed by a stop seal 124 in the closed state of the window.

In addition, one or more fold seals 112, 123 are formed in the fold region 130 on the glare and / or sash frame 110, 120.

Then, one or more of the frame monitoring devices 1 are / are arranged in a frame groove 111, which is open towards the folding area 130.

The at least one frame monitoring device engages with its foot 13 in the undercut formed Blendrahmennut 111 and is fixed there (in the manner described above). The or the support area (s) 12 is / are in the folding area 130 on the frame profile 110.

The frame monitoring device 1 is here of the frame 110 perpendicular to the fold area 130 before. On the sash 121 of at least one locking pin 125 is guided perpendicular to the image plane displaceable.

It is in Fig. 4 In addition, it can be seen that the mounting base 2 and the electronics unit 3 with the electronics housing 4-based on the closed state of the window 100-are arranged almost completely within the fold region. Only the antenna unit 8 is formed so narrow that it can be inserted into the gap 131 and is also used in the assembled state. This is especially good in Fig. 4 to recognize.

The antenna unit 8 is also advantageously designed here so that it protrudes beyond the web 122 through the gap 131 from the fold region 130 into the space II. In addition, the cover 11 of the antenna unit 8 is preferably located directly on the frame profile 110. Preferably, the cover 11 projects less than 5 mm, in particular less than 3 mm, from this window frame profile 110 and preferably extends in the direction Y only approximately 3 mm, preferably 5 mm, in particular only up to 10 mm beyond the web 122 of the sash frame profile 121. The thus designed antenna unit 8 affects the appearance of the window 110 for Exterior or interior not or almost not, because it is difficult to see.

It should also be mentioned that the antenna 10 lies in sections above the cover strip and in sections below the cover 11 between it and the frame 110 ( Fig. 2a , the bold dashed section - belonging to the connecting section 9 - is outside). It is advantageous that the antenna 9, as far as it runs parallel to the main extension direction X, can be well covered outside the gap 131 and that on the other hand in the area in which the connecting portion 9 passes through the gap 131, the function of the Anschlagsichtung 124 as little as possible is impaired.

For this purpose, the cover 11 is preferably matched in color to the exterior color of the frame profile. In particular, it is designed in the same color.

In addition to the optically advantageous accommodation, the arrangement of the antenna unit 8 is also advantageous from an electrical point of view. For a blasting and receiving electromagnetic waves are not hindered in such a way, which is particularly advantageous if the frame profile 110 and / or the casement profile 121 entirely or partially made of a metal, in particular aluminum or steel.

For energy supply of the frame monitoring device 1 is preferably an energy storage such as a battery or other energy storage element (not visible here). The power supply can also be realized in other ways, such as via cable. In addition, it is also conceivable to generate the energy as a generator, for example via the switching device, in particular the toggle switch 27. The kinetic energy of the actuating element 24 is then advantageously also used to generate electricity, for example. used to charge a capacitor as a temporary energy storage. A battery as energy storage is then not necessary.

The frame monitoring device 110 is briefly arranged so that a closing element - in particular in the main extension direction of the respective profile (perpendicular to the plane of the plane Fig. 4 ) movable locking pin 125, on one Fitting part of the sash 121 can enter into the receiving area 23 and run out of this, wherein in each case the switching element 24, in particular the Kippschalter27- is switched, in which case preferably a respective signal is emitted via the antenna unit 8, which can be received by a receiver.
