Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automatic zipper system that is motor-driven.
  • the zipper also called a zip fastener or zip for short
  • the zipper is a closure that can be released as often as you like and is based on a form fit. It consists of two side parts with staples (small teeth) and a slider (Swiss German: sled) with which the staples can be hooked together and released again.
  • staples small teeth
  • slider Small German: sled
  • zippers can be made inexpensively not only from metal, but also from plastic.
  • waterproof zippers In the field of clothing and leather goods, it is one of the most important fastener parts.
  • the invention relates to an automatic zipper system as defined in claim 1. Preferred features of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.
  • the invention encompasses an automatic zipper system comprising a zipper comprising a zipper tape with zipper teeth and a slider body.
  • a further component is a housing which at least partially surrounds the zip fastener and in which an electric drive unit is arranged which is in operative contact with the sliding body in order to transport and/or lock it along the zip fastener.
  • the housing is arranged at the end of the closed zipper. It thus forms around the last end of the zipper that has not yet been closed and allows the zipper to be automatically closed completely by the drive unit independently pulling the sliding body further into the housing. Areas of the housing can be open so that the upper area is exposed so that the upper side of the sliding body together with the handle plate or the slider handle is exposed. It is also conceivable that the housing is completely closed, so that the entire sliding body disappears completely in it.
  • the drive unit comprises at least one belt which can be brought into operative contact with the sliding body, preferably from below and/or the side, and which is driven by at least one actuator in order to transport the sliding body forwards or backwards along the zipper.
  • This strap may be located within the housing and preferably extend the full length of the housing.
  • the belt is pressed against the sliding body by pressure elements. Friction is thus created which allows the slider to be transported within the housing and thus completely closes the zip fastener.
  • the frictional force is preferably so strong that it is not possible to manually pull the slide out of the housing.
  • a locking element can also be arranged in the housing, which locks the slider body so that it cannot be pulled out.
  • the locking element is activated when the sliding body is advanced into a specific position within the housing. This position can be determined by sensors.
  • the locking element can be, for example, a bolt that is inserted into the sliding body.
  • the belts are designed as toothed belts or chains that engage in gear wheels. The gears can also be locked to prevent the sliding body from being pulled out.
  • At least two belts are provided, which are each arranged on both sides of the sliding body in the housing in order to transport or lock the sliding body by clamping between them. Both belts are guided by one or more drives over rollers.
  • the rollers are connected to the housing via spring elements. Lateral pressure is exerted on the sliding body by the spring elements. This lateral pressure means that the movement of the belt can be transferred to the sliding body.
  • the belts are in the form of toothed belts
  • corresponding teeth are also formed on the side of the sliding body, preferably in the lower part. This enables a firm engagement to be achieved without slipping.
  • the strap can also be arranged underneath the zipper and can be operatively connected to the underside of the sliding body.
  • the housing is located in the end area of the closed zip fastener in order to automatically transport the sliding body to the end of the zip fastener by the drive unit.
  • the housing still bends at the end in order to then end inside or outside, for example, the bag. This makes it possible for the sliding body to move completely into the interior of the pocket.
  • This approach allows the user to move the zipper almost entirely manually, then hand it over to the device of the invention just prior to locking.
  • the sliding body is guided to the entrance of the housing in order to then be detected by sensors.
  • the drive unit is activated and automatically pulls the sliding body inside the housing to lock it there.
  • the user touches the housing or a handle plate of the sliding body that still protrudes from the housing, and the drive recognizes from the touch or from a slight pull that the sliding body should be moved out of the housing.
  • the sliding body is guided out of the housing via the drive unit, and the user can fully open the zipper.
  • Leading out the sliding body can also be made dependent on the user authenticating himself to the invention. i.e. only certain people are authorized to open the zipper.
  • one embodiment includes one or more sensors that detect the insertion of the sliding body into the housing and/or the position of the sliding body inside or outside the housing in order to control the electronic drive unit based on this information , so that when the sliding body is inserted into the housing, the sliding body is activated by the drive unit in order to automatically transport the sliding body further into the housing. And alternatively, when the sliding body is in the case and an instruction is sent to the driving unit to take out the sliding body, the sliding body drives out from the case.
  • a power supply and control board are housed within the housing, these components preferably being housed in a housing area formed on the underside of the zipper so that access is not possible when the zipper is closed.
  • the underside is the side that, for example in the case of a bag, is directed towards the inside of the bag.
  • the top is the side where the grip panel is located, which is used by the user to operate the zipper from the outside.
  • the drive unit is connected to a biometric sensor (fingerprint/fingerprint sensor, face recognition sensor, speaker recognition sensor, etc.) - hereinafter the term fingerprint sensor also stands for the general term biometric sensor - which instructions, preferably via the control board , transmitted to the drive unit in order to transport the sliding body in one direction or the other, depending on the recognized fingerprint.
  • the connection can be via a contact connection or a wireless connection.
  • the biometric sensor can be placed in close proximity on or around the zipper, or remote from it. In this case, if possible, only the non-safety-relevant sensors are arranged on the top.
  • the actual logic, and its calculation and recognition of the fingerprint / or. the biometric information is preferably carried out on the underside in a circuit board.
  • the control in the circuit board can be configured wirelessly or with a cable using an app on a computer or smartphone.
  • a USB port can be located on the underside of the case, which is only accessible when the zipper is open. This prevents access to the connection, for example when the bag is closed.
  • the fingerprint sensor is arranged on a grip plate of the slider handle, which is connected to the slider body, so that the fingerprint/the biometric information of a user can be recognized when gripping the grip plate. It is also conceivable that only a narrow slot is present in the housing, which is suitable for guiding the handle plate outside of the housing, with the sliding body completely inside Housing is performed. In this case, a preferably round area, which is located at the end of the grip plate, serves to accommodate the biometric sensor/fingerprint sensor. In one possible embodiment, this recording can be illuminated so that the user can also have secure access to this sensor at night.
  • the sensor for detecting the fingerprint/biometric information can also be arranged on the top of the housing. It should be noted here that the cable routing is designed in such a way that it is not damaged by the moving zipper. It is also conceivable that the sensor, which is arranged on the housing, is illuminated.
  • the lighting for the biometric sensor/fingerprint sensor can be switched on depending on a proximity sensor.
  • the proximity sensor detects whether a hand is approaching the housing and then switches on the lighting. It is also conceivable that when the housing is touched, a contact sensor detects that the user is looking for the fingerprint sensor/biometric sensor in order to then illuminate it. It is also conceivable that motion sensors and brightness sensors are used to switch the lighting on and off. Switching on can take place with certain movement patterns and/or brightness levels.
  • the lighting can only be activated when the sliding body is arranged completely or partially in the housing.
  • control circuit board and/or the power supply is/are provided with a connection, preferably USB, for charging and for configuring or setting parameters and for charging the battery.
  • further lighting can be provided, which is formed on the underside of the housing.
  • sensors that determine the opening status of the zip fastener. i.e. when the zipper is fully open or in an open state that allows reaching through the zipper, the interior lights may be activated to allow better viewing of the items inside.
  • a timer is provided which switches off the lighting again after a certain period of time.
  • an alarm control that detects tampering with the automatic zipper system to generate an alarm signal.
  • this controller can detect whether the zip fastener or the sliding body should be forced out of the housing.
  • an alarm message is issued via a loudspeaker or in the form of a radio signal.
  • the receiver of the radio signal is described below. It can be about a computer or a smartphone or other radio signal transmitter.
  • a radio unit for a network can also be used for this purpose, which establishes contact with a local computer system, mobile device or smartphone, in particular 3G, 4G, 5G, WLAN, Bluetooth, Zig-Bee, for exchanging information, for configuration or for control .
  • a further part of the invention is a bag characterized by a zip fastener according to the invention, the zip fastener being attached with the underside of the zip fastener facing towards the interior of the bag.
  • the invention comprises a biometric sensor / fingerprint or other switch for locking and opening bags, luggage and mobile and stationary transport units as well as clothing, shoes, mobile and stationary tents and sleeping units and objects in general, which are are provided with a zipper and can therefore be closed.
  • the impulse for automatic unlocking and locking of the locking system takes place via the actuation of the biometric sensor/fingerprint or functionally equivalent switch types, which takes place using the personal biometric legitimation of the user via a wireless connection type, such as Bluetooth, via an app with the locking system.
  • the personal release condition can be saved via an internal memory chip and/or app in the locking system or externally in a cloud.
  • the invention includes a housing into which the zipper is at least partially inserted. Guards may be placed at the inlet of the enclosure to protect against dirt, dust, water, and mechanical tampering and/or entrapment of fingers, hair, and objects.
  • a sensor is fitted in the housing which detects when the element attached to the slider or to the underside of the slider approaches the housing.
  • this element can also be the underside of the slider.
  • the element attached to the underside of the slider cannot or can ride along the outer edges of the zipper fasteners.
  • a motor device is thus provided for guiding freely movable zip fasteners, which can thus be automatically drawn in and pushed open, locked and unlocked.
  • This actuator system/drive system is operated electronically, together with a sensor system, and is characterized by particular reliability because it avoids the problematic loads of an electromechanical system on the slide itself.
  • the drive system can be designed using different motor guide variants, which can be inserted and closed automatically as well as guided back and opened into a housing from the side or from below.
  • motor guide variants motor groups, toothed belts and linear motors can be used.
  • This device is preferably not visible from the outside/above.
  • the sensor in the housing sends a signal via an evaluation logic to the actuators, which are located below and/or above to the right and left of the zipper and which can also be connected to one another via another strap.
  • the actuator system can transport the slide into and/or out of the housing.
  • the actuator system includes one or more actuators that propel the belt.
  • the number of actuators depends on the use of the actuator system.
  • the actuator system can be connected to the housing by a spring-like suspension or installed on the housing with the same function.
  • the device attached to the slider initiates an automatic closing and forward movement when the slider is retracted (locking of the closure system).
  • the device attached to the slider initiates an automatic opening and reverse movement when the slider is executed (unlocking of the locking system).
  • lighting systems for interior lighting can be located below the housing.
  • One and/or more loudspeakers for the alarm signal in the event of theft or when the user is removed from the system can also be located underneath the housing or the underside.
  • the sensor as well as the actuators are supplied with energy and control signals via a cable.
  • the release signal to the actuator system can also be activated via an electronic device, an app a smartphone, via WLAN or Bluetooth or in another wireless form.
  • the figure 1 shows a possible embodiment of the invention from above.
