Definitions

  • the invention relates to a padlock for securing a switch of an industrial system, in particular a so-called lockout padlock, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a particular area of application for a padlock is in the area of occupational safety.
  • part of the plant or the entire plant must be shut down.
  • the part of the industrial system which has been deactivated for the purpose of maintenance work is inadvertently reactivated while the maintenance work is still ongoing. This can result in a significant risk to maintenance personnel.
  • the switch mentioned is typically an energy supply switch, for example an electrical main switch of a control device or an energy supply device of the industrial system.
  • each maintenance person hangs and locks a padlock before starting work on said switch or on a locking device assigned to the switch.
  • the switch is thereby secured in its OFF position, ie the switch cannot be accidentally moved from one be brought back into an ON position by another person.
  • the maintenance person When the maintenance person has finished their work, they unlock their padlock and release it from the switch.
  • Each maintenance person is usually assigned his own individual padlock.
  • the lockout padlock used with a lock housing which is at least partially made of plastic, a bracket being held displaceably on the lock housing, and with a lock cylinder in the lock housing is arranged, which has a cylinder housing and a cylinder core rotatable in the cylinder housing about a cylinder axis.
  • the padlock also has a key, by means of which the cylinder core can be rotated between a locking position and an unlocking position.
  • the shackle In the locked position, the shackle is locked or lockable on the lock housing, in particular in a closed position of the shackle, for example after the shackle has been suspended in an eye of the switch.
  • the bracket In the unlocked position, the bracket is released for an opening movement relative to the lock housing, for example in order to be able to remove the bracket from the eye of the switch.
  • the design of the lock housing made of plastic results in a particularly light padlock with sufficient mechanical stability, which is advantageous when used as a lockout padlock, because the maintenance personnel sometimes carry several lockout padlocks at the same time.
  • a plastic housing can also contribute to desirable electrical insulation. Furthermore, by using a plastic housing, there is a particularly simple possibility of color-coding the padlock.
  • a lockout padlock is typically used anyway in an environment to which unauthorized third parties have no access (e.g. secured factory premises).
  • a relatively simple locking mechanism for the lockout padlock can be provided, in particular a simple locking cylinder.
  • the locking cylinder can have a plurality of tumblers which are movable between a release position and a locking position in order to lock the cylinder core relative to the cylinder housing when the cylinder core is in its locking position.
  • the tumblers can be formed by pin tumblers which are spring-loaded in the direction of their locking position, the pin tumblers being able to be moved against their pretension by inserting the assigned key into the locking cylinder such that a separating surface between the cylinder housing and the cylinder core is no longer blocked by the pin tumblers is.
  • Such a lockout padlock with a plastic housing and a simple locking mechanism is, for example, from the documents US 7 278 283 A , US 5 755 121 A and US 2012/0186308 A1 known.
  • lockout padlock comes into play, for example due to vibrations caused, for example, by a production machine and transmitted to the switch to which the lockout padlock is attached or hung.
  • the lock cylinder of the lockout padlock has a plurality of tumblers, each tumbler between a respective release position in which the tumbler locks the cylinder core for rotation in its Releases unlocking position, and a respective locking position, in which the tumbler locks the cylinder core in its locking position relative to the cylinder housing, the plurality of tumblers comprising a plurality of pin tumblers, which are spring-loaded in the direction of their respective locking position, and wherein the plurality of tumblers further includes several supplementary tumblers that are not spring-loaded and are freely movable between their respective release position and their respective blocking position.
  • the lockout padlock according to the invention thus has a lock cylinder which comprises a combination of spring-loaded pin tumblers and non-spring-loaded, freely movable supplementary tumblers.
  • the spring-loaded pin tumblers lock the cylinder core, when it is in its locking position, against a rotational movement relative to the cylinder housing.
  • a sufficient blocking effect is already achieved under normal ambient conditions.
  • several additional tumblers are provided, which are freely movable in the lock cylinder.
  • the supplementary tumblers are not spring-loaded and thus show a different kinematic behavior than the spring-loaded pin tumblers when exposed to strong mechanical vibrations or vibrations of different frequencies, which may be transmitted from the vicinity of the padlock to the suspended padlock.
  • the additional tumblers are not absolutely necessary when used as a lockout padlock for the purpose of theft protection, since a lockout padlock, as explained at the beginning, is typically used anyway in an environment to which unauthorized third parties have no access. However, the additional tumblers can provide additional protection against unintentional opening of the lockout padlock.
  • the pin tumblers can be unintentionally accelerated and moved due to their spring preload, in particular in a resonance frequency range that depends on the spring characteristics and the mass of the respective pin tumbler to be moved, by strong vibrations introduced from the outside.
  • the supplementary tumblers can already be moved by relatively weak vibrations between their respective blocking position and release position, whereby the supplementary tumblers begin to move or close earlier than the pin tumblers when vibrations occur, in a non-uniform pattern between their respective blocking position and release position "leap".
  • the supplementary tumblers are cylindrical or essentially cylindrical, the supplementary tumblers in particular having a shape which is graded along their longitudinal extent (such as a circumferential constriction) and / or beveled ends (such as a cone or truncated cone shape). Due to a cylindrical shape, the supplementary tumblers can be particularly well supported in a freely movable manner, so that the supplementary tumblers react in a non-uniform manner to the action of vibrations.
  • the freely movable supplementary tumblers are each formed in one piece. It can also be hereby achieved that the supplementary tumblers show a different response behavior to vibrations introduced from the outside than the pin tumblers, which are typically formed in two parts.
  • the supplementary tumblers along their respective direction of movement are shorter than the pin tumblers. This means that the mass of the respective supplementary tumbler is less than the mass of a respective pin tumbler, which in turn causes the supplementary tumblers to have a different response to vibrations introduced from outside than the pin tumblers, especially if the respective diameter of the supplementary tumblers is selected to be similar is like the respective diameter of the pin tumblers.
  • the supplementary tumblers are mounted in the rotatable cylinder core, the supplementary tumblers engaging in a locking recess on an inner circumference of the cylinder housing in their respective locking position.
  • the fact that the respective supplementary tumbler is mounted in the cylinder core and only engages with one end in an associated locking recess in the cylinder housing in its locked position ensures that the freely movable supplementary tumblers are supported particularly smoothly.
  • the locking recess provided on the inner circumference of the cylinder housing can extend with respect to the direction of rotation of the cylinder core along a limited circumferential angle, which essentially corresponds to the width of the respective supplementary tumbler, that is, apart from manufacturing tolerances and a certain amount of movement, the respective supplementary tumbler is almost seated with respect to the direction of rotation of the cylinder core form-fitting in the blocking recess.
  • the locking recess in the direction of rotation of the cylinder core can be limited by at least one guide slope. This has the effect that when the cylinder core is deliberately rotated by means of the assigned key, the supplementary tumbler located in its locked position is lifted or led out of the locking recess of the cylinder housing along the respective guide slope.
  • the respective locking recess of the cylinder housing can also be limited on both sides with respect to the direction of rotation of the cylinder core by a respective guide slope.
  • the supplementary tumblers of the locking cylinder are translational, i.e. linear, flexible.
  • the supplementary tumblers are movable within a respective plane that is perpendicular to the cylinder axis.
  • mobility of the supplementary tumblers along the cylinder axis is not absolutely necessary, since vibrations of the locking cylinder that run along the cylinder axis do not cause the same risk of unintentional release of the cylinder core as vibrations that run perpendicular to the cylinder axis.
  • the supplementary tumblers of the locking cylinder can be arranged one behind the other along the cylinder axis, in particular in alignment with one another.
  • the supplementary tumblers of the locking cylinder are movably mounted with respect to the cylinder axis in the radial direction or offset parallel to a radial direction.
  • the bracket extends within an extension plane.
  • the bracket can have a first leg and a second leg, which runs parallel to the first leg, the two legs running within the said plane of extension of the bracket or defining the plane of extension of the bracket.
  • the direction in which the supplementary tumblers are movable can run at a non-zero angle to the plane of extension of the bracket.
  • the angle mentioned can in particular be one act acute angle.
  • the direction of the mobility of the supplementary tumblers can run obliquely to the plane of extent of the bracket.
  • vibrations of the lockout padlock which are introduced from the fastening environment of the lockout padlock via the bracket to the locking cylinder, generally run in a different direction than the direction of the mobility of the supplementary tumblers.
  • the supplementary tumblers are less likely to be accelerated or moved away from their respective blocking position by such vibrations.
  • a corresponding arrangement can be provided for the pin tumblers (the direction of the mobility of the pin tumblers runs obliquely to the plane of extent of the bracket).
  • the direction of movement of the pin tumblers and the direction of movement of the supplementary tumblers run parallel to one another or at an angle other than zero.
  • the direction of movement of the pin tumblers and the direction of movement of the supplementary tumblers viewed in a projection along the cylinder axis, can be at an angle of 20 °, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 75 °, 105 °, 120 °, 135 °, 150 °, 165 °, 180 ° or an intermediate value thereof.
