Description

SERRURE HORAIRE - TIME LOCK -
La présente invention concerne une serrure horai¬ re qui permet de mettre en position ouverte ou fermée un mécanisme de blocage d'une" serrure d'un coffre-fort par exemple.The present invention relates to a horai¬ re lock which allows to put in the open or closed position a blocking mechanism of a " lock of a safe for example.
Le but de la présente invention vise à fournir une sécurité complémentaire pour les serrures de cof¬ fres-forts.The object of the present invention is to provide additional security for safe locks.
Un autre but de la présente invention vise à fournir un dispositif qui empêche ou qui permet l'ouver¬ ture d'un coffre-fort à l'aide des serrures mécaniques classiques, pendant certaines périodes de la journée et/ou de la semaine.Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which prevents or which allows the opening of a safe using conventional mechanical locks, during certain periods of the day and / or of the week.
Selon la présente invention, ladite serrure horaire se compose d'un moyen de verrouillage mécanique commandé par des circuits logiques.According to the present invention, said time lock consists of a mechanical locking means controlled by logic circuits.
Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de la pré¬ sente invention, les circuits logiques sont constitués par des circuits électroniques qui réalisent les fonc- tions de comptage et d'horloge avec les remises à zéro nécessaires.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the logic circuits consist of electronic circuits which carry out the counting and clock functions with the necessary resets to zero.
Avantageusement, les circuits électroniques per¬ mettent une programmation des heures d'ouverture et/ou de fermeture de manière répétitive. Ils peuvent cepen- dant également permettre des interventions temporaires, pendant lesquelles le programme dit à répétition est in¬ terrompu pour faire place à un programme dit temporaire tel qu'une modification des heures d'activation, c'est- à-dire d'ouverture ou de fermeture, sur une période dé- terminée, telle qu'une semaine, un week-end, quelques heures ou fraction d'heure.Advantageously, the electronic circuits per¬ program the opening and / or closing hours repeatedly. They can however also allow temporary interventions, during which the so-called repeated program is interrupted to make way for a so-called temporary program such as a modification of the activation hours, that is to say opening or closing, over a defined period, such as a week, a weekend, a few hours or a fraction of an hour.
Les circuits électroniques peuvent également pré¬ senter des fonctions de sécurité qui commandent la mise en position de blocage lorsqu'on active les circuits par intervention manuelle, par exemple en appuyant une ou plusieurs fois sur un contacteur, intégré dans l'appa¬ reillage ou à l'extérieur de celui-ci, par exemple un 2 contacteur logé dans la serrure proprement dite du cof¬ fre-for et qui est actionné lorsqu'un opérateur intro¬ duit une clé dans celle-ci ou une alarme actionnée en cas de danger. Les circuits électroniques sont de préférence alimentés par une source d'énergie indépendante, avanta¬ geusement dédoublée pour des raisons de sécurité, les circuits étant conçus de manière à passer d'.une alimen¬ tation à l'autre, en cas de défectuosité. Selon une forme d'exécution particulière, la ser¬ rure horaire selon la présente invention présente un moyen de lecture, par exemple optique, de la position de la barre du coffre-fort, qui permet une remise à zéro des circuits électroniques et du moyen de verrouillage mécanique.The electronic circuits can also present security functions which control the locking position when the circuits are activated by manual intervention, for example by pressing one or more times on a contactor, integrated in the apparatus or outside of it for example a 2 contactor housed in the lock proper of the cof¬ fre-for and which is actuated when an operator introduces a key into it or an alarm activated in the event of danger. The electronic circuits are preferably supplied by an independent source of energy, advantageously split for safety reasons, the circuits being designed so as to pass from one supply to the other, in the event of a defect. According to a particular embodiment, the time slot according to the present invention has a means for reading, for example optical, the position of the bar of the safe, which allows a reset of the electronic circuits and the means mechanical locking.
Selon la présente invention, le moyen de ver¬ rouillage consiste en un élément de blocage coulissant commandé dans son mouvement de va-et-vient par un moteur actionné par les circuits logiques. Selon une forme d'exécution particulière de la présente invention, l'élément coulissant de blocage est articulé sur un bras de levier dont le basculement est commandé par une came et qui est éventuellement muni d'un contre-poids et/ou d'un ressort de rappel. La came est avantageusement entraînée en rotation par un moteur électrique raccordé de manière telle que l'élément cou¬ lissant puisse rester soit en position de blocage,soit en position ouverte, le circuit de connexion du moteur électrique comportant pour ce faire des contacteurs (mi- cro-switch) .According to the present invention, the means of ver¬ rusting consists of a sliding blocking element controlled in its reciprocating movement by a motor actuated by logic circuits. According to a particular embodiment of the present invention, the sliding blocking element is articulated on a lever arm whose tilting is controlled by a cam and which is optionally provided with a counterweight and / or a spring. The cam is advantageously driven in rotation by an electric motor connected in such a way that the smoothing element can remain either in the blocking position or in the open position, the connection circuit of the electric motor comprising for this purpose contactors (mi - cro-switch).
Selon une variante d'exécution de l'invention, l'élément coulissant de blocage est commandé par au moins une came qui agit sur une butée solidaire dudit élément coulissant de blocage, contre l'effet d'un ressortfixe, d'une part, à un point fixe et, d'autre part, à l'élément coulissant ou éventuellement à la butée solidaire de celui-ci. De préférence, l'élément coulissant peut être commandé par un deuxième moteur qui entre en action lorsque le premier serait défaillant,ledit second moteur commandant une deuxième came qui actionne le mouvement de va-et-vient dudit bras de levier, à l'extrémité oppo¬ sée de celle comportant la première came, relativement au point de basculement dudit levier.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the sliding blocking element is controlled by at least one cam which acts on a stop integral with said sliding blocking element, against the effect of a fixed spring, on the one hand, at a fixed point and, on the other hand, at the sliding element or possibly at the stop integral with the latter. Preferably, the sliding element can be controlled by a second motor which comes into action when the first is faulty, said second motor controlling a second cam which actuates the reciprocating movement of said lever arm, at the end oppo¬ ed from that comprising the first cam, relative to the point of tilting of said lever.
On constate que 1'on peut facilement agencer les circuits électroniques ainsi que le verrouillage mécani- que dans un petit boîtier qui peut être disposé de ma¬ nière adéquate à l'intérieur du coffre-fort. De cette manière, une ouverture du coffre, au moyen de la clé, en dehors des heures d'ouvertures prêprogrammêes n'est plus possible et, d'autre part, le dispositif de verrouillage supplémentaire est rendu inaccessible. On peut également séparer la partie mécanique et les circuits selon l'ap¬ plication envisagée en séparant les organes de commande des organes de fermeture. De même, les programmations peuvent être exécutées à distance, par lien directe ou par ondes.It can be seen that the electronic circuits and the mechanical locking can easily be arranged in a small box which can be arranged in an adequate manner inside the safe. In this way, an opening of the trunk, by means of the key, outside of the preprogrammed opening hours is no longer possible and, on the other hand, the additional locking device is made inaccessible. It is also possible to separate the mechanical part and the circuits according to the envisaged application by separating the control members from the closure members. Likewise, programming can be carried out remotely, by direct link or by air.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description détaillée donnée à l'appui, des figures anne¬ xées dans lesquelles :The invention will be better understood with the aid of the detailed description given in support, of the appended figures in which:
- la figure 1 représente une vue schématique du mécanis- me de verrouillage ;- Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the locking mechanism;
- la figure 2 représente une vue schématique analogue à celle de la figure 1, d'une autre forme d'exécution de la serrure selon l'inventiony etFIG. 2 represents a schematic view similar to that of FIG. 1, of another embodiment of the lock according to the invention and
- la figure 3 est une vue en plan schématique d'une autre variante de la présente invention.- Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of another variant of the present invention.
La serrure horaire de la présente invention se compose- d'une partie électronique et d'une partie méca¬ nique 1. Comme décrit précédemment, la partie électroni¬ que comporte une série de fonctions qui permettent une programmation fixe et/ou temporaire de l'horloge qui commande, selon les heures voulues, l'ouverture ou la fermeture de la serrure selon l'invention . Les circuits qui constituent la partie électronique peuvent également comporter une série de fonctions annexes, comme des fonctions de sécurité qui enclenchent la partie mécani¬ que dans certaines conditions ou une fonction de contrôle régulier de l'état de fonctionnement de la partie mécanique, de la partie électronique, des sources d'alimentation ...etc.The time lock of the present invention consists of an electronic part and a mechanical part 1. As described above, the electronic part comprises a series of functions which allow fixed and / or temporary programming of the 'clock which controls, according to the desired hours, the opening or closing of the lock according to the invention. The circuits which constitute the electronic part can also include a series of additional functions, such as safety functions which engage the mechanical part only under certain conditions or a function of regular control of the operating state of the mechanical part, of the electronic part , power sources ... etc.
La partie électronique est avantageusement alimentée par u.ne source d'énergie indépendante, telle qu'une pile ou batterie qui est, de préférence dédou¬ blée, la pile de réserve entrant en action lorsque la pile principale est épuisée ou défectueuse ou lorsque les conduits d'alimentation sont interrompus par exem¬ ple. II s'est avéré particulièrement avantageux de mu¬ nir la serrure selon la présente invention d'un moyen de lecture, par exemple optique, de la position de la barre de fermeture du coffre-fort ; ce qui permet d'ef¬ fectuer une remise à zéro de tout le dispositif. Selon les figures 1 et 2, les circuits électroni¬ ques classiques sont destinés à commander le moyen de verrouillage: mécanique (1) représenté aux figures. Celui-ci se compose d'un élément de blocage coulissant 3 (représenté en traits d'axe) qui est articulé en 5 via un trou oblong 7 sur un bras de levier 9 qui peut bascu¬ ler en 11 sur un point fixe, de préférence solidaire du boîtier qui contient la partie électronique et la partie mécanique du dispositif selon l'invention.The electronic part is advantageously supplied by an independent energy source, such as a battery which is preferably split, the reserve battery coming into action when the main battery is exhausted or defective or when the supply conduits are interrupted for example. It has been found to be particularly advantageous to mu¬ nish the lock according to the present invention with a means of reading, for example optical, the position of the closing bar of the safe; which makes it possible to reset the entire device to zero. According to Figures 1 and 2, conventional electronic circuits are intended to control the locking means : mechanical (1) shown in the figures. This consists of a sliding blocking element 3 (shown in axis lines) which is articulated at 5 via an oblong hole 7 on a lever arm 9 which can tilt at 11 at a fixed point, preferably secured to the housing which contains the electronic part and the mechanical part of the device according to the invention.
Le mouvement de va-et-vient du bras de levier 9 est commandé par une came 13 qui est actionnée par un moteur, par exemple par un moteur à courant continu com¬ mandé par les circuits électroniques décrits ci-dessus, de manière à ne tourner que de 180e par exemple.The back and forth movement of the lever arm 9 is controlled by a cam 13 which is actuated by a motor, for example by a direct current motor controlled by the electronic circuits described above, so as not to turn that 180 e for example.
Avantageusement, le bras de levier 9 est muni d'un contre-poids 15 et/ou d'un ressort de rappel 17.Advantageously, the lever arm 9 is provided with a counterweight 15 and / or with a return spring 17.
Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de la pré¬ sente invention, et pour des raisons de sécurité, l'êlê- ment coulissant peut être commandé par un deuxième mo¬ teur qui entre en action entre autres en cas de défail¬ lance du premier moteur, ledit éecond moteur commandant une seconde came 20 qui agit sur l'extrémité du bras de levier 9 opposée à celle comportant la première came 13, relativement au point de basculement 11.According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and for safety reasons, the element sliding sliding can be controlled by a second motor which comes into action inter alia in the event of a failure of the first motor, said second motor controlling a second cam 20 which acts on the end of the lever arm 9 opposite to that comprising the first cam 13, relative to the tilting point 11.
En variante (figure 3), l'élément coulissant 3 est commandé, de préférence, par deux cames 13 et 20 qui agissent sur une butée en forme de T 31 rendue solidaire de l'élément coulissant 3, par exemple moyennant un bras 33. La came agit contre l'effet d'un ressort 17 fixé, d'une part, à un point fixe tel que par exemple un point du boîtier contenant ladite serrure, et, d'autre part à l'élément 3 ou à ladite butée 31. Comme déjà mentionné, le dispositif électronique est conçu de manière que des signaux provenant de la première source d'alimentation et du premier moteur soient décelés en continu ou en séquence régulière, de manière que le dispositif électronique, en cas de détec- tion de signaux indiquant une défaillance du système (par exemple épuisement de la première pile ou court- circuit du premier moteur) puisse mettre en service la deuxième source ou le deuxième moteur ou mettre le dispositif mécanique en position ouverte. Les circuits électroniques sont néanmoins agencés de manière telle que ladite seconde came ne dérange pas le mouvement résultant de la rotation de ladite première came, et inversement.As a variant (FIG. 3), the sliding element 3 is preferably controlled by two cams 13 and 20 which act on a T-shaped stop 31 made integral with the sliding element 3, for example by means of an arm 33. The cam acts against the effect of a spring 17 fixed, on the one hand, to a fixed point such as for example a point of the housing containing said lock, and, on the other hand to element 3 or to said stop 31. As already mentioned, the electronic device is designed so that signals from the first power source and the first motor are detected continuously or in regular sequence, so that the electronic device, in the event of detection signals indicating a system failure (for example exhaustion of the first battery or short-circuit of the first motor) can put the second source or the second motor into service or put the mechanical device in the open position. The electronic circuits are nevertheless arranged in such a way that said second cam does not disturb the movement resulting from the rotation of said first cam, and vice versa.
L'élément de blocage 3 consiste avantageusement en un matériau à faible cefficient de frottement qui coulisse perpendiculairement à l'axe du fourreau de pas¬ sage de la barre de verrouillage du coffre-fort propre¬ ment dit. De cette manière, on empêche l'ouverture du coffre-fort pendant certaines périodes préprogrammées dans le dispositif, de l'invention qui est de plus monté à l'intérieur dudit coffre fort.The locking element 3 advantageously consists of a material with low friction coefficient which slides perpendicularly to the axis of the sleeve of the passage of the locking bar of the safe proper. In this way, the opening of the safe is prevented during certain periods preprogrammed in the device, of the invention which is also mounted inside said safe.
Il est bien évident que la présente^diescription n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite en rien la portée de la présente invention qui est défi¬ nie dans les revendications annexées. On peut ainsi rem¬ placer tout élément par un autre élément équivalent con- nu en soi.It is quite obvious that this ^ description is given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the scope of the present invention which is challenged in the appended claims. It is thus possible to replace any element with another equivalent element known per se.
