Description
- The present invention relates to an electric lock, and more particularly to the electric lock which is operatable under an external force and has a solenoid disposed therein for saving power.
- A conventional electrically operated door lock includes a latch keeper being rotatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the latch keeper obstructs the movement of a door latch. A solenoid has a plunger movable along a linear path between a first position and a second position. An actuator is coupled to the plunger. The actuator is movable along a linear path parallel to the plunger between a first position and a second position. The actuator has a plurality of gear teeth formed thereon. A pinion has a plurality of teeth formed thereon and cooperating with the gear teeth of the actuator. A locking member has a plurality of gear teeth formed thereon and cooperating with the teeth of the pinion. The locking member is movable along a linear path between a first position and a second position. The path is perpendicular to the path of the plunger. As the plunger moves from the first position to the second position urges the locking member to move from the first position to the second position, which urges the latch keeper to move from the first position to the second position.
- However, the conventional electrically operated door lock does not have a power saving function, because it requires to be provided continuous electric current for keeping in an unlocked position. And as the door is impacted by a wind force, the door lock is hard to be operated due to the mechanical design. Therefore, the conventional electrically operated door lock described above is inconveniently used.
- The main objective of the present invention is to provide an improved solenoid-operated electric lock.
- To achieve the objective, the solenoid-operated electric lock in accordance with the present invention comprises a lock casing, a catch movably mounted on the lock casing, and a solenoid received in the lock casing. A circuit means is received in the lock casing and is electrically connected with the solenoid for controlling duration of electric current and switching a direction of electric current which is applied to the solenoid.
- The solenoid comprises a housing, a first magnet and a second magnet respectively mounted on two ends of the housing. The first magnet and the second magnet are arranged in a NN or SS relationship to repel each other. A movable iron core is axially disposed in the housing and located between the first and second magnets. One end of the movable iron core has a first bolt axially disposed thereon for simultaneously moving with the movable iron core. The first bolt is partially exposed the outside of the solenoid. A wire coil is coaxially received in the housing. The wire coil is wound around the movable iron core and located between the first and second magnets.
- The solenoid-operated electric lock further comprises a driving member, a first gearing device, and a second gearing device movably received in the lock casing. The driving member corresponds to a location of the first bolt of the solenoid and is selectively pressed by the first bolt. The driving member has an engaging hole defined therein. The first gearing device has a pivot member pivotally connected with the lock casing and a rotatable cylinder rotatably mounted on the pivot member. The pivot member has a pin disposed thereon for engaging with the driving member, such that the first gearing device is able to be simultaneously driven by the driving member. The second gearing device has a lever pivotally mounted on the lock casing. The lever has an abutting portion formed thereon for releasably connecting with an outer periphery of the rotatable cylinder. The lever has a protrusion formed thereon and located adjacent to the catch for selectively abutting against the catch. The second gearing device has a spring disposed beside the lever. The spring provides a resilient force to the lever to bias the lever toward the catch.
- When the circuit means provides electric current in a short time to actuate the solenoid, a magnetic field is generated around the wire coil and the movable iron core forms two opposing magnetic poles. The movable iron core is axially moved toward the first magnet by magnetic attraction. The first bolt is axially moved with the movable iron core to press the driving member away from the solenoid. The pivot member of the first gearing device simultaneously and pivotally moves by the movement of the driving member. The abutting portion of the lever of the second gearing device is released from the rotatable cylinder, such that the catch is in an unlock position.
- When the solenoid is actuated again by providing reverse electric current in a short time to generate a reverse magnetic field around the wire coil, the movable iron core is axially moved away the first magnet by magnetic repulsion. The driving member axially moves toward the solenoid and the first gearing device is driven to restore. The abutting portion of the lever is restricted by the rotatable cylinder. The protrusion of the lever abuts against the catch, such that the catch is in a lock position.

Figs. 1-5 , a solenoid-operated electric lock in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises alock casing 1 which is mounted on a door frame 7, acatch 11 movably mounted on thelock casing 1 for selectively engaging with alatch 81 of adoor 8, and asolenoid 2 received in thelock casing 1. A circuit means 6 is received in thelock casing 1 and is electrically connected with thesolenoid 2 for controlling duration of electric current and switching directions of electric current which is applied to thesolenoid 2. - The
solenoid 2 comprises ahousing 21, afirst magnet 22 and asecond magnet 23 respectively mounted on two ends of thehousing 21. Thefirst magnet 22 has a throughhole 221 axially defined therein. In this embodiment, thefirst magnet 22 and thesecond magnet 23 are arranged in a SS relationship to repel each other. Amovable iron core 24 is axially disposed in thehousing 21 and located between the first 22 andsecond magnets 23. One end of themovable iron core 24 has afirst bolt 25 axially disposed thereon for simultaneously moving with themovable iron core 24. Thefirst bolt 25 has a free end passing through the throughhole 221 of thefirst magnet 22 and partially exposed the outside of thesolenoid 2. Awire coil 26 is coaxially received in thehousing 21. Thewire coil 26 is located between the first 22 andsecond magnets 23 and wound around themovable iron core 24. Thewire coil 26 is electrically connected with the circuit means 6, such that the circuit means 6 controls electric current which is applied into thewire coil 26. - The solenoid-operated electric lock further comprises a driving
member 3, a first gearing device 4, and asecond gearing device 5 movably received in thelock casing 1. The drivingmember 3 corresponds to a location of thefirst bolt 25 of thesolenoid 2 and is selectively pressed by thefirst bolt 25. The drivingmember 3 has an engaginghole 31 defined therein. - The first gearing device 4 has a
pivot member 41 which has one end pivotally connected with thelock casing 1 for rotating about a pivot axis. The other end of thepivot member 41 has arotatable cylinder 43 mounted thereon for rotating relative to thepivot member 41 about a center axis. The pivot axis of thepivot member 41 is parallel to the center axis of therotatable cylinder 43. Therotatable cylinder 43 has a C-axis perpendicular to the center axis and the pivot axis (shown inFig. 8-10 ). Thepivot member 41 has apin 42 laterally disposed thereon for engaging with the engaginghole 31 of the drivingmember 3, such that the first gearing device 4 is able to be simultaneously driven by the drivingmember 3. - The
second gearing device 5 has alever 51 which has one end pivotally mounted on thelock casing 1. The other end of thelever 51 has an abuttingportion 52 formed thereon and downwardly abutting against an outer periphery of therotatable cylinder 43 for releasably engaging with therotatable cylinder 43. Referring toFig. 8-10 , as the abuttingportion 52 is in an engaging position along the C-axis of therotatable cylinder 43, the abuttingportion 52 of thelever 51 is engagedly restricted by therotatable cylinder 43. As the abuttingportion 52 is moved away from the engaging position, thelever 51 is pivotally movable. Thelever 51 has aprotrusion 53 formed thereon and corresponding to a location of thecatch 11 for selectively abutting against thecatch 11. Thesecond gearing device 5 has aspring 54 disposed beside thelever 51 and providing a resilient force to thelever 51 for biasing thelever 51 toward thecatch 11. - The operation of the solenoid-operated electric lock in accordance with the present invention will be described in detailed below. As shown in
Figs. 6-10 , when electric current controlled by the circuit means 6 flows into thewire coil 26 of thesolenoid 2 in a direction of arrow A in a short period of time, thesolenoid 2 is actuated to generate a magnetic field around thewire coil 26. Themovable iron core 24 correspondingly forms a N magnetic pole at one end which is close to thefirst magnet 22 and a S magnetic pole at the other end which is close to thesecond magnet 23. Themovable iron core 24 is axially moved toward thefirst magnet 22 by magnetic attraction. Thefirst bolt 25 is axially moved with themovable iron core 24 to press the drivingmember 3 away from thesolenoid 2. Thepivot member 41 simultaneously and pivotally rotates about the pivot axis by the movement of the drivingmember 3. The abuttingportion 52 of thelever 51 is relatively moved away from the engaging position. The abuttingportion 52 of thelever 51 is released from therotatable cylinder 43, such that thecatch 11 is in an unlock position and the door 8 (shown inFig. 2 ) is openable. - When electric current controlled by the circuit means 6 flows into the
wire coil 26 in a direction of arrow B opposite to arrow A in a short period of time, thesolenoid 2 is actuated again to generate a reverse magnetic field around thewire coil 26. Themovable iron core 24 correspondingly forms a S magnetic pole at one end which is close to thefirst magnet 22 and a N magnetic pole at the other end which is close to thesecond magnet 23. Themovable iron core 24 is axially moved away thefirst magnet 22 by magnetic repulsion. The drivingmember 3 axially moves toward thesolenoid 2 and the first gearing device 4 (shown inFig. 1 ,3-4 ) is driven to restore. The abuttingportion 52 of thelever 51 is relatively moved back to the engaging position and is restricted by therotatable cylinder 43. Theprotrusion 53 of thelever 51 abuts against the catch 11 (shown inFig. 3 ), such that thecatch 11 is in a lock position and securely fastened to thelatch 81 of the door 8 (shown inFig. 2 ). - Moreover, electric current is supplied in the short period of time when the
catch 11 changes to the lock position from the unlock position or to the unlock position from the lock position. Therefore, the solenoid-operated electric lock in accordance with the present invention is power saving. And due to the twomagnets solenoid 2, thesolenoid 2 in accordance with the present invention is able to generate a sufficient force which is substantially greater than three times a force of a conventional solenoid. Furthermore, as thecatch 11 is in the lock position and a strong external force is applied on thedoor 8, thelatch 81 may force thecatch 11 to abut against thelever 51. The abuttingportion 52 would press on the outer periphery of therotatable cylinder 43. Because therotatable cylinder 43 which is pressed is rollable relative to thelever 51 and thepivot member 41, thepivot member 41 is pivotally movable by the movement of the drivingmember 3. Therefore, the solenoid-operated electric lock is operatable as the strong external force is applied on thedoor 8.
