ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR LOCKING DOORS OR WINDOWS, IN PARTICULAR FOR DOORS

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The object of the present invention is an electronic system for locking doors or windows, in particular for doors.

[0002] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic systems for locking doors and windows of buildings and refers to the use of electronic locks. The electronic system for locking can be applied in various sectors, among which, for example hotels, guest houses, community places, offices, or residential.

PRIOR ART

[0003] Generally, closing systems comprise a lock installed on a wing of the door or window and a counter-plate, commonly known as a "strike-plate", installed on a fixed frame of the door or window. The lock is provided with closing means, for example constituted by a latch and/or a chain which, when the wing is in a position aligned to the frame, is moved so as to exit from the lock and engages in the counter-plate so as to determine the locking of the door or window, in particular the door.

[0004] Electromechanical systems are known which use a device known as an "electrical strike-plate".

[0005] The known electromechanical systems, in particular when they use an electrical strike-plate, while having the advantage of being easily interfaceable with the management systems for managing the door or window, for example the door, which are connected by a flank of the door, are not free of drawbacks and problems, at both the structural and operational level, among which poor security, high noise level and difficulty of installation and/or regulation caused by the presence of gaskets on the door.

[0006] Further electromechanical systems are known from documents EP1764460, DE102006042469 and EP3059359. In particular, EP1764460 discloses an electromechanical lock comprising a first infrared device positioned in the counter-plate and configured for transmitting an optical signal, and a second infrared device positioned in the electronic lock configured for receiving the first optical signal, whereas EP3059359 discloses non-contact power and bi-directional data transmission between the striker and the door using induction coils.

AIMS OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In this context, the technical task underpinning the present invention is to provide an electronic system for closing doors or windows that obviates the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above.

[0008] In particular, an aim of the present invention is to make available an electronic system for closing doors or windows, which is simple to install, interchangeable with the solutions at present adopted and more reliable. The technical task set and the objects specified are substantially attained by an electronic system for closing doors or windows, which comprises the technical characteristics as set out in one or more of the accompanying claims. The dependent claims correspond to further embodiments of the electronic system according to the present invention.

[0009] In particular, in an aspect, the present invention relates to the integrating of infrared devices in the counter-plate and in the lock operating bidirectionally so as to command the lock and provide information relating to the status of the lock and/or the wing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following indicative, and hence non-limiting, description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of an electronic system for closing doors or windows.

[0011] This description will be explained below with reference to the appended figure, provided solely for indicative and therefore non-limiting purposes, in which a frontal view of a portion of a door or window is schematically illustrated, comprising the electronic system for locking according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] With reference to the appended figure, an electronic system for closing windows or doors, according to the invention, is denoted in its entirety by reference numeral 1 and will be denominated in the following using the term system 1.

[0013] The system comprises 1 a counter-plate 2 installable on a fixed frame 3 of the door or window, for example a door.

[0014] The system 1 further comprises an electronic lock 4 installable on a wing 5 of the door or window and provided with closing means housed inside a lock body 6. The closing means is mobile between a release configuration, in which the closing means engages the counter-plate 2, and a retained configuration (not illustrated), in which the closing means is maintained inside the lock-body 6 and does not engage the counter-plate. The closing means preferably comprises a latch 7 and/or a chain 8.

[0015] The electronic lock 4 comprises an opening device 9 configured to activate a switching of the closing means 5 at least between the retained configuration and the release configuration. In other words the opening device 9 is configured to activate at least the opening of the wing, in particular the door.

[0016] According to a possible embodiment, the opening device 9 can comprise a handle 10 configured to activate a switching of the closing means at least between the retained configuration and the release configuration. In this case therefore the opening of the wing can be done manually by operating the handle 10.

[0017] In addition to or alternatively to the handle 10, the opening device 9 can be configured to activate an automatic switching of the closing means at least between the retained configuration and the release configuration. In this case therefore the opening of the wing can be done automatically.

[0018] The system 1 advantageously comprises a control system for controlling the opening 11 comprising a first infrared device 12 arranged in the counter-plate and configured to transmit at least a first optical signal "S1" or activating signal and to receive at least a second optical signal "S2". The first optical signal "S1" contains an activating message for activating and/or enabling the opening device 9.

[0019] Further, the control system for controlling the opening 11 comprises a second infrared device 13 arranged in the electronic lock 4, in particular the lock body 6, and configured to receive the first optical signal "S1" and to transmit the second optical signal "S2".

[0020] The second optical signal "S2" contains a message relating to the status of the wing and/or an authentication message suitable for being used by the first infrared device 12 for authenticating the activating message previously sent via the first optical signal "S1".

[0021] With reference to the present description and the claims, "optical signal" is used to mean a serial data signal transmitted through an optical device. In the case under examination, the serial data signal is transmitted via the first and the second infrared device.

[0022] The first and second infrared device are infrared transmitters/receivers which operate according to a serial infrared communications protocol, for example of the IrDA type or the like, generating a bi-directional communication between the electronic lock 4 and at least the counter-plate 2.

[0023] As for example illustrated in figure 1, the first and second infrared device are positioned in a condition of reciprocal visibility at least when the counter-plate 2 is proximal to the electronic lock 4.

[0024] A front portion 6a of the body lock 6 preferably has a window 14 adapted to enable transmission of the second optical signal "S2" and receiving of the first optical signal "S1". A front portion frontal 2a of the counter-plate 2 likewise has a window 15 adapted to enable transmission of the first optical signal "S1" and receiving of the second optical signal "S2".

[0025] In a possible embodiment, of which the accompanying drawing illustrates a non-limiting example, the control system for controlling the opening of the door or window comprises an electronic control board 16 housed in the electronic lock 4, preferably in the lock body 6, and programmed for activating and/or enabling the opening device 9 on receiving the activating signal "S1" from the second infrared device 13.

[0026] In particular, in a case where there is a handle 10, the electronic control board 16 can be programmed to enable the opening of the electronic lock 4 on receiving the activating signal "S1" from the second infrared device 13. The full opening is carried out manually by operating the handle 10. Alternatively to the handle 10, any manual opening organ can be included, such as knobs or the like.

[0027] In a case in which the electronic control board 16 is programmed to enable the opening of the electronic lock 4, the control system for controlling the opening of the door or window can comprise a timer 17 for enabling switching of the closing means 4 for a preset time interval.

[0028] In a case where the opening device 9 is configured to activate an automatic switching of the closing means 4, the electronic control board 16 can be programmed to activate the opening device in such a way that the opening takes place automatically when the second infrared device 13 receives the activating signal "S1".

[0029] In a possible embodiment, of which the accompanying drawing illustrates a non-limiting example, an electricity storage battery 18 is included, in particular in the form of batteries, arranged in the electronic lock 4, preferably in the lock body 6 and configured to power the electronic control board 16 and the second infrared device 13.

[0030] The second optical signal "S2" can contain a message relative to the status of the wing and thus enable the electronic lock 4 to send, to the counter-plate 2, the information on the status thereof, for example the charge level of the electricity storage battery 18, the open/closed status of the wing, the status of effective mechanical closing of the lock, the positioning of the chain etc.

[0031] The second optical signal "S2" can contain an authentication message suitable for being used by the first infrared device 12 for authenticating the activating message previously sent via the first optical signal "S1" to increase the degree of safety of the data transmission between the first infrared device 12 and the second infrared device 13.

[0032] The control system for controlling the opening of the door or window preferably comprises an electrical control unit 19 associated to said first infrared device 12 and configured to generate a voltage pulse following an external command. The first infrared device 12 is configured to intercept said voltage pulse and to convert the voltage pulse into said activating signal "S1".

[0033] The electrical control unit 19 can be arranged in proximity of the door or window, in particular the frame 3, or in a remote position.

[0034] The present invention further relates to a management method for managing the electronic system 1 which includes a step of bi-directional communication between the first infrared device 12 and the second infrared device 13 in which the first infrared device 12 transmits the first optical signal "S1" and receives the second optical signal "S2" and in which the second infrared device 13 receives the first optical signal "S1" and transmits the second optical signal "S2" when the first and second infrared devices are positioned in a condition of reciprocal visibility. According to the above-described method, a step of activating and/or enabling said opening device 9 is included, on receiving the first optical signal "S1" from said second infrared device 13.

[0035] A step is preferably included of generating a voltage pulse following an external command and converting said electric pulse into said first optical signal "S1".

[0036] The electronic system 1 in use advantageously operates according to the above-mentioned management method so that when the wing 5 is closed, the first and second infrared devices are positioned in a condition of mutual visibility.

[0037] The electric signal, in particular the voltage pulse generated following an external command, coming from the electrical control unit 19, is intercepted by the first infrared device 12 which transforms it into a serial data signal to be sent by infrared transmission to the electronic lock 4 via the second infrared device 13.

[0038] Once the electronic lock 4 has received the correct information via infrared transmission, it is unlocked for a preset time determined by the timer 17 so as to enable the opening thereof. Alternatively the electronic lock 4 is automatically opened.

[0039] The electronic lock 4 can further send to the counter-plate 2 information on the status thereof (discharged batteries, door open/closed, status of effective mechanical closing of the lock, information originating from the positioning of the chain etc.) or the above-mentioned authentication message.

[0040] The invention provides further important advantages.

[0041] Firstly the incorporation into the wing or the counter-plate of infrared devices operating as IR transmitter/receiver modules enables the wing and counter-plate to dialog both to determine consent and/or activation of the opening both so as to restore information on the status of the lock or to make the system safer.

[0042] Further the above-described system is easily insertable in replacement for the present systems, for example to replace the electric strike-plate, thus facilitating installation thereof and using the same voltage pulse (in both dc and ac) which, in the system of the invention, is converted into the activating signal.

[0043] The above-described system is further silent, safe and enables carrying out regulations of the wing and/or the frame.
