Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile phone operated solar cell lock for a bicycle which can be unlocked by a mobile phone using a main power source as a solar cell.

  A conventional bicycle lock needs to carry a bicycle-specific key, a dedicated card key, or a dedicated remote control key at the time of unlocking or after locking.

  There may be situations where the keys for bicycles are stored, or are missing or lost when carrying.

  The security code button input type lock may be inconvenient in a dark place.

  The present invention is to provide a mobile phone operated solar cell lock that eliminates the need for carrying a bicycle-specific key, although it takes time to prepare a bicycle-specific key at the time of locking or unlocking.

  If a mobile phone operated solar cell lock for bicycles that has a receiver that receives radio waves including personal identification numbers transmitted from a mobile phone and that uses solar cells as the main power source, only verify and match the received radio wave codes. The mobile phone operated solar cell lock for bicycles is characterized by a drive unit that is driven only when unlocked and a control device therefor.

  The mobile phone-operated solar battery lock is designed so that the locking operation is manual only for safety, and the unlocking operation can be performed by leaving the position of the lock only when unlocking. Moreover, the solar cell and the auxiliary battery are provided so that it can always be used for a long period of time. The auxiliary battery is a secondary battery in the embodiment, but may be a primary battery.

  It is the structure which can charge an auxiliary | assistant battery while reducing the battery consumption at the time of an unlocking state with the energization charge changeover switch in a heel stopper apparatus.

  The mobile phone operated solar battery lock may be one that can be unlocked with a combined key.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a bicycle mobile phone operated solar battery lock according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a block system structure diagram. (3) is a heel stopper section (not shown), but is linked to an unlocking drive section (1) for rotating the heel stopper cam of (7) to the unlocked position, and this unlocking drive section (1) is connected to the receiving device. The solar cell (5) and the auxiliary battery (4) are connected by the switch circuit, and the previous unlocking drive unit (1) is operated by, for example, rotation of the motor (20). It may be operated by an electrode solenoid instead of the motor.
The auxiliary battery (4) uses a secondary battery in this embodiment. A primary battery may be used instead of the secondary battery.
Further, in a power transmission assist bicycle, the battery may be used as a power source via a transformer.

The first-stage receiver (2) stores the specified personal identification number, and checks the personal identification number received from the mobile phone and the unlocking drive unit (1) when it determines that the microcomputer matches. It can be equipped with a microcomputer for unlocking operation and its power supply.
The receiver (2) may be one in which the sensing distance capability of the receiver is intentionally suppressed to the extent that there is no inconvenience at the time of unlocking.

  The bicycle mobile phone operated solar battery lock of the present invention can be manually unlocked and manually locked by the combined key (6). Moreover, it is not limited to the ring lock of an Example, It can apply to all of a box lock and other deformation | transformation locks.

  (7) is a hook stopper cam, and when locked, it comes into contact with the hook (13) at the outer circular part of the slanting ball shape, and the hook (13) driven in the unlocking direction is locked by the coil spring (12). At the time of unlocking, the hook (13) slides in the unlocking direction by the coil spring (12) on the inner circular portion of the hook-shaped stopper cam (7).

(8a) and (8b) are 閂 stopper cam shafts, and when unlocked, the カ ム stopper cam shafts (8a) and (8b) are removed by the coil spring (19) and fixed to the 閂 stopper cam shaft (8a). The stopper cam (7) is linked to the charging side terminal of the energization charge changeover switch (16) so that the auxiliary battery (4) can be charged from the solar battery (5) and simultaneously to the receiver (2). Is turned off.
During locking, when the hook (13) is manually moved in the locking direction and temporarily separated from the hook stopper cam (7), the hook stopper cam (7) is restored to the torsion of the coil spring (19) attached The hook (13) is brought into an energized state by the coil spring (19) and the hook stopper cam (7) being pressed against the energization side terminal of the energization charge changeover switch (16). At the same time, the heel stopper cam shaft (8a) fixed to the heel stopper cam (7) is loosely fitted to the heel stopper cam shaft (8a) so that the driving force is transmitted from the unlocking drive section (1). Become.
As a result, the receiver (2) is on standby so that it can operate immediately when locked, but it is of course possible to provide a manual switch to prevent the auxiliary battery (4) from being consumed.

(Operation) The operation of the above configuration will be described.
(Unlocking) The driver sends a personal identification number away from the position of the lock from the mobile phone.
The receiver (2) receives the radio wave from the mobile phone, checks only the password, and if it matches, the unlocking drive unit (1) is energized and the motor (20) is driven by the stopper cam shaft (8a) (8b ), And the coffin stopper cam (7) rotate interlockingly to the unlocking position, the coffin (13) slides in the unlocking direction and unlocks, and the coffin stopper cam (7) is energized and charge changeover switch (16). By pressing the charging side terminal, the auxiliary battery (4) can be charged from the solar battery (5).
Further, although not shown in detail, it can be unlocked with a combined key.

(Locking) The driver manually pushes the operation knob (14) against the force of the coil spring (12) to lock it. At this time, the hook stopper cam (7) returns to the locked position by the torsional restoring force of the coil spring (19) held, and locks the hook (13) and switches the energization charge by the force of the coil spring (12). The energization side terminal of the switch (16) is pressed into contact with the receiver (2) from the solar cell (5) and the auxiliary battery (4).

The invention's effect

  Since the cellular phone-operated solar battery lock for a bicycle according to the present invention is as described above, it can be unlocked away from the lock position even in a narrow place or a dark place.

Unlocking can be done with a mobile phone, so there is no need to carry bicycle-specific keys.

  A third party who can know the security code can unlock it without requiring a bicycle-specific key. This is convenient when using bicycles between families.

  Since the auxiliary battery is charged during the unlocked state, the frequency of troubles such as battery replacement can be reduced.

  Locking is limited to manual operation and safe.

  Moreover, since it is the structure which can implement unlocking by a joint key, it can carry out by combining manual locking and unlocking.

  It is a block system block diagram which shows the structure of an example of implementation of the mobile telephone operation type solar cell lock for bicycles of this invention.   It is a top view of the partial cross section which shows the outline of the structure (at the time of locking) of the mobile phone operation type solar cell lock for bicycles.   It is a top view of the partial cross section which shows the outline of the structure (at the time of unlocking) of the portable telephone operation type solar cell lock for bicycles.   (A) is a top view which shows the shape of a heel stopper cam. (B) is a perspective view of the recessed part of the collar stopper cam shaft 8a. (C) is a perspective view of the convex part of the collar stopper cam shaft 8b.   It is the elements on larger scale which show the position at the time of locking of a heel stopper cam, and the relationship (energization state) of an energization charge switch and a camshaft action | operation.   It is the elements on larger scale which show the position at the time of unlocking a heel stopper cam, and the relationship (charging condition) of an energization charge switch and a camshaft action | operation.
