This abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Description

TITRE : Serrure électromagnétique TITLE: Electromagnetic lock
La présente invention est relative à une serrure élecromagnétique. Une telle serrure comporte deux parties dont l'une est fixe tandis que l'autre est fixée sur l'élément dont on souhaite contrôler la fermeture, telle qu'une porte.The present invention relates to an electromagnetic lock. Such a lock has two parts, one of which is fixed while the other is fixed to the element whose closing is to be controlled, such as a door.
La partie fixe de la serrure est constituée par un électroaimant et l'autre partie par une armature métallique pouvant être déplacée à rencontre d'un ressort de rappel. Lorsque l'armature est en regard de l'electroaimant et que ce dernier est excité ladite armature est attirée et la manœuvre de la porte n'est pas possible, car la force à développer pour arracher l'armature est bien supérieure à celle pouvant être fournie par un utilisateur normal.The fixed part of the lock consists of an electromagnet and the other part of a metal frame which can be moved against a return spring. When the armature is facing the electromagnet and the latter is excited, said armature is attracted and the door cannot be maneuvered, because the force to be developed to tear off the armature is much greater than that which can be provided by a normal user.
Actuellement, de telles serrures sont disposées de façon à ce que leurs faces actives soient parallèles aux champs de l'ouverture à contrôler. De ce fait, la force nécessaire à mettre en jeu pour permettre le glissement de l'armature par rapport à l'electroaimant est bien inférieure à celle précitée (force d'arrachement).Currently, such locks are arranged so that their active faces are parallel to the fields of the opening to be checked. Therefore, the force necessary to bring into play to allow the sliding of the armature relative to the electromagnet is much lower than that mentioned above (breakout force).
II est possible de remédier à cet inconvénient en augmentant la force de l'electroaimant, mais une telle augmentation se traduit par une augmentation intolérable du volume dudit électroaimant et de son prix de revient.It is possible to remedy this drawback by increasing the strength of the electromagnet, but such an increase results in an intolerable increase in the volume of said electromagnet and in its cost price.
Une solution raisonnable pour éviter un surdimensionnement de l'electroaimant consiste à prévoir sur l'une des parties de la serrure un bossage susceptible de pénétrer dans un logement de l'autre partie et de s'y maintenir tant que l'electroaimant reste excité. Une telle serrure est décrite, entre autre, dans le document WO 99/18315 et comporte une armature mobile présentant deux protubérances tronconiques, diagonalement opposées, susceptibles de pénétrer dans des logements correspondant de l'electroaimant lorsque ladite armature est en regard de ce dernier. Comme la hauteur des protubérances précitées est supérieure à la distance séparant, normalement, l'electroaimant et l'armature cette dernière est montée flottante sur son embase ce qui implique l'utilisation de deux séries de ressorts antagonistes qui maintiennent l'armature en équilibre. Une telle serrure est onéreuse en raison de l'utilisation de deux ressorts. De plus, le réglage des deux ressorts est délicat.A reasonable solution to avoid oversizing the electromagnet consists in providing on one of the parts of the lock a boss capable of penetrating into a housing of the other part and of staying there as long as the electromagnet remains energized. Such a lock is described, inter alia, in document WO 99/18315 and comprises a movable frame having two frustoconical protrusions, diagonally opposite, capable of penetrating corresponding housings of the electromagnet when said frame is opposite the latter. As the height of the aforementioned protrusions is greater than the distance separating, normally, the electromagnet and the armature the latter is mounted floating on its base which implies the use of two series of antagonistic springs which keep the armature in equilibrium. Such a lock is expensive due to the use of two springs. In addition, the adjustment of the two springs is delicate.
La serrure de l'invention, qui remédie à ces inconvénients, se caractérise par l'utilisation d'une armature usuelle comportant un ressort de rappel maintenant ladite armature et l'electroaimant écartés l'un de l'autre lorsque ledit électroaimant n'est pas excité et en ce que l'un des éléments de la serrure comporte, au moins, un bossage linéaire s'étendant parallèlement au sens de déplacement de la partie mobile susceptible de pénétrer dans un logement correspondant, prévu sur l'autre partie, lorsque les deuxdites parties sont en coïncidence, la hauteur dudit bossage étant inférieur à la distance séparant ces dernières lorsque l'élecroaimant n'est pas excité.The lock of the invention, which overcomes these drawbacks, is characterized by the use of a conventional armature comprising a return spring holding said armature and the electromagnet spaced from one another when said electromagnet is not not excited and in that one of the elements of the lock comprises, at least, a linear boss extending parallel to the direction of movement of the movable part capable of penetrating into a corresponding housing, provided on the other part, when the two said parts are in coincidence, the height of the said boss being less than the distance separating the latter when the electromagnet is not excited.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lesquels : -la figure 1 est une vue en élévation de l'une des parties de la serrure;The present invention will be better understood from the description which follows, given with reference to the accompanying drawings by way of indicative example only, in which: FIG. 1 is an elevation view of one of the parts of the lock;
-la figure 2 est la vue de gauche de la figure 1 ;FIG 2 is the left view of Figure 1;
-la figure 3 est une vue en élévation de l'autre partie de la serrure;FIG. 3 is an elevation view of the other part of the lock;
-la figure 4 est la vue de gauche de la figure 3; -la figure 5 est une .vue en élévation d'une serrure conforme à l'invention, l'electroaimant n'étant pas excité.FIG 4 is the left view of Figure 3; FIG. 5 is a view in elevation of a lock according to the invention, the electromagnet not being excited.
-les figures 6A, 6B, 6C et 6D sont des vues en coupe effectuées selon la ligne VI-VI de la figure 5.FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D are sectional views taken along line VI-VI of FIG. 5.
En se reportant aux dessins et de la façon connue, on voit que la serrure se compose de deux parties 1 et 2, la partie 1 comportant l'electroaimant et celle 2 comportant l'armature mobile 3 qui est normalement rappelée vers l'embase fixeReferring to the drawings and in the known manner, it can be seen that the lock consists of two parts 1 and 2, part 1 comprising the electromagnet and that 2 comprising the movable armature 3 which is normally called back to the fixed base.
4 par l'entremise de deux ressorts identiques dont les axes figurent en 5 sur la figure 3.4 by means of two identical springs whose axes appear at 5 in FIG. 3.
Selon l'invention, la partie 1 présente, au moins un bossage 6 se présentant sous la forme d'une barre s'étendant transversalement à ladite partie et selon une direction parallèle à celle de déplacement de l'autre partie, si la partie 1 est considérée comme fixe. En toute rigueur, le bossage 6 s'étend parallèlement au plan contenant la direction de déplacement.According to the invention, part 1 has, at least one boss 6 in the form of a bar extending transversely to said part and in a direction parallel to that of movement of the other part, if part 1 is considered fixed. Strictly speaking, the boss 6 extends parallel to the plane containing the direction of movement.
Le bossage 6 s'étend d'un bord 7 jusqu'à proximité de l'autre bord 8 de la partie 1 et sa hauteur est inférieure à la distance séparant les deux parties 1 et 2 lorsque l'electroaimant n'est pas excité, comme cela ressort de la figure 5.The boss 6 extends from one edge 7 to near the other edge 8 of the part 1 and its height is less than the distance separating the two parts 1 and 2 when the electromagnet is not excited, as shown in Figure 5.
L'armature 3 présente, sur sa face avant, au moins, un logement 9 débouchant sur son bord 10 et susceptible de coïncider avec le bossage 6 lorsque les deux parties de la serrure son en vis-à-vis.The frame 3 has, on its front face, at least, a housing 9 opening onto its edge 10 and capable of coinciding with the boss 6 when the two parts of the lock are opposite.
Dans ce qui va suivre, on va supposer que la partie 1 est fixée sur le dormant de l'ouverture et que celle 2 est fixée sur la porte. En fin de fermeture (fig.6A), la partie 2 se déplace sensiblement selon la flèche F et l'electroaimant est excité. La partie 2 passe sans encombre de la position représentée sur la figure 6A à celle de la figure 6B car les ressorts usuels de rappel de l'armature sont tarés de façon à ce que l'action de l'electroaimant soit sans effet sur l'armature 4 tant que celle-ci ne présente pas une certaine surface en regard dudit électroaimant.In what follows, we will assume that part 1 is fixed on the frame of the opening and that part 2 is fixed on the door. At the end of the closure (fig.6A), the part 2 moves substantially along the arrow F and the electromagnet is excited. Part 2 passes smoothly from the position shown in Figure 6A to that of Figure 6B because the usual springs for returning the armature are calibrated so that the action of the electromagnet has no effect on the armature 4 as long as the latter does not have a certain surface facing said electromagnet.
La partie 2 continuant de progresser selon la flèche F, la force de l'electroaimant devient supérieure à celle des ressorts de rappel, l'armature 4 se déplace transversalement et prend appui contre le bossage 6 (fig.6C) sur lequel elle glisse jusqu'au moment où, le logement 9 arrivant en regard du bossage 6, elle effectue un nouveau déplacement transversal pour occuper la position représentée sur la figure 6D.Part 2 continuing to progress along arrow F, the force of the electromagnet becomes greater than that of the return springs, the armature 4 moves transversely and bears against the boss 6 (fig.6C) on which it slides up 'when, the housing 9 arriving opposite the boss 6, it performs a new transverse movement to occupy the position shown in Figure 6D.
Tant que l'élecroaimant reste excité, un déplacement en sens inverse de la flèche F est impossible.As long as the electromagnet remains energized, movement in the opposite direction of arrow F is impossible.
Dans le cas de portes battantes, il est nécessaire d'empêcher le déplacement de la porte tant dans le sens de la flèche F qu'en sens inverse.In the case of hinged doors, it is necessary to prevent the door from moving both in the direction of arrow F and in the opposite direction.
Selon l'invention, ce résultat est obtenu en prévoyant sur la partie 1 un bossage 1 1 , analogue à celui 6 mais s'étendant du bord 8 jusqu'à proximité de celui 7, susceptible de coopérer avec un logement 12 analogue à celui 9.According to the invention, this result is obtained by providing on the part 1 a boss 1 1, similar to that 6 but extending from the edge 8 to near that of 7, capable of cooperating with a housing 12 similar to that 9 .
De préférence, un couple de bossages 6-1 1 est prévu à chacune des extrémités de la partie 1. Preferably, a pair of bosses 6-1 1 is provided at each of the ends of part 1.
