DESCRIPTION

Electromagnetic remote-controlled locking device.

Technical sector

The enunciated invention falls within the sector of the devices or systems which are intended to provide greater security in the anchorage to removable opening elements with their own or not locking or closing systems.

Further specifying the sector to which it is addressed, the enunciated invention is within the sector of the devices used for auxiliary or non-auxiliary blocking, of any removable part which is performing closing functions and whose mobility can be performed in a sliding manner, swinging or any other means of translation. The removable parts mentioned above may be such as doors, drawer windows, etc.

State of the art

After conducting a search in the available databases, a wide variety of devices protected by Patents or Utility Model have been found which belong to the sector mentioned in the previous section. Among these protections and with a certain degree of similarity to the one recommended here, the following are presented below.

- EP 2115250. With title "Electromechanical lock operated by solenoid". Said document exposes a lock whose blocking of the opening element is carried out by the interaction of a solenoid together with internal mechanical parts of a lock.

- U201230383. With title "Lock for doors and windows electromechanical drive". As its title indicates, the aforementioned document argues a door and window locking element mechanically actuated by supplying electric current.

The applicant himself of the invention set forth, in turn, is the holder of a document with application number U201400774 and title "Auxiliary lock with remote control" in which a lock is exposed whose blocking element is displaced by a rack and pinion system .

Object of the invention

Today, due to increasing insecurity, the proliferation of removable parts blocking devices intended to safeguard privacy or personal belongings, valuable objects or merchandise and confidential documents is constantly increasing. An example of this are the devices or systems mentioned above in the state of the art which, although being operated without maintaining direct contact with them, attend to different operating systems.

The interaction of mechanical parts with electrical parts requires a complexity, on many occasions, excessive. A solenoid switching and interacting with mechanical parts, the movement of an actuator which moves through a motor or a mechanism formed by a rack and pinion, are actions which require

precision and current consumption that sometimes enter into a malfunction due to a lack of proper maintenance or a lack of power supply.

The market demands increasingly secure, but more reliable devices. As it has been tried to explain previously, in some occasions an increase of the reliability usually is consequence of a greater simplicity.

The invention set forth is intended to provide a device which meets the aforementioned.

Description of the invention

The electromagnetic remote-operated locking device that implicitly comprises a set of components and a steering control, is characterized in that the set of components is governed in the distance by means provided with push-buttons which, by means of their actuation, the set of components allows the movement of a piston integrated in a bistable solenoid, because the movements of the aforementioned plunger are linear resulting in an action of expulsion or retraction of the same with respect to the set of components, because it is the piston itself which by its expulsion performs the work of blocking by means of the passing action on a housing or avoiding the retraction of an external blocking element.

Another characterization of the device is its power supply, which occurs both in the government and in the drive itself of the set of components through a previous storage of the same, presenting the latter option of being fed directly from the network.

It is also characterized in that the transmission of government over the set of components is carried out remotely using changing frequencies for each purpose in each blocking and unlocking action in order to avoid capturing them for malicious use.

Obvious characterizations which have to be mentioned are those of integrating acoustic and visual signals in the government command which warn about each action carried out and the proximity of depletion in the current storage.

For obvious reasons and in order to provide the device with a concealment from the outside, the set of components must be mounted in the non-visible area of the removable part.
