Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to locks that can be released electronically and remotely controlled, in particular to such locks operable with furniture such as cabinets, drawers, and the like.
  • Latch assemblies are relied on in many applications for securing items stored within an item of furniture.
  • containers, cabinets, closets, drawers, compartments, lockers, and other forms of items of furniture may be secured with a latch.
  • an electrically operated latch is desirable due to the need for remote or push-button entry, coded access, keyless access, or monitoring of access.
  • Various latches for panel closures have been employed where a moveable element or panel--such as a swinging door, drawer or the like--is to be fastened or secured to a stationary panel, doorframe, cabinet, or compartment body.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 depict an electronically operated locking system 10 including a lock 12 and a strike 14.
  • the lock 12 may be mounted on the interior of a cabinet, drawer frame, or other item of furniture.
  • the strike 14 may be mounted on the inside of a door, drawer, or other movable panel associated with the item of furniture.
  • the lock 12 may selectively engage the strike 14 to secure the door, drawer, or panel in a closed position.
  • the lock 12 includes a housing 16 having an outer housing 18, a first inner housing 20, and a second inner housing 22, which cooperate to at least partially enclose the elements of the lock 12.
  • the outer housing 18 includes a first opening 24 in which a lens 26 is disposed for providing illumination within the item of furniture such as a locker or cabinet.
  • the outer housing 18 further includes a second opening 28 for providing access to a USB port 30 to allow, for example, charging of electronic devices within the item of furniture or otherwise providing direct electronic access to the lock 12 for, in one example, uploading or downloading files to and from the lock 12.
  • the outer housing 18 and the first inner housing 20 cooperate to form a recess 32, and a slot 34 is formed in the recess 32 that assists in locking action, as will be described more below.
  • the first inner housing 20 further includes an inset 36 that provides access to a first port 38 and a second port 40.
  • the ports 38, 40 are RJ-45 ports which can receive RJ-45 plugs and transmit both data and power.
  • the first port 38 receives data and power, while the second port 40 can transmit the data and power to a second lock in daisy chain fashion.
  • the strike 14 includes a strike plate 42 with a plurality of through holes 44 that are used to mount the strike 14 to the furniture panel with fasteners such as screws (not shown).
  • the strike 14 further includes a riser 46 and a strike bar 48 that is sized and shaped to be received in the recess 32.
  • the strike 14 also includes a cylinder 50 that is sized to extend through the furniture panel, the cylinder 50 including a window 49 visible from the exterior of the furniture panel.
  • a light signal can be transmitted from inside the furniture item and along the interior length of the cylinder 50 to the window 49 to the outside of the furniture such that it is visible to the user. The signal may provide confirmation of lock status, an error message, or the like.
  • the cylinder 50 includes threading 51 such that the cylinder 50 may be screwed into the strike plate 42 to different depths to accommodate different thicknesses of panels to which the strike plate 42 is mounted, and if any end portion 51a of the cylinder 50 extends through the strike plate 42 into the interior of the furniture item, the end portion 51a can simply be cut off.
  • the lock 12 further includes a main board 52, which can include one or more processors, which should be understood broadly and includes, without limitation, one or more microprocessors, microcontrollers, gate arrays, discrete logic, and analog components.
  • the main board can further include memory and one or more wireless antennas and readers to assist in controlling operation of the lock 12.
  • the antennas and readers may include, without limitation, RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, LoRa and/or wireless internet.
  • the processor(s) is in communication with the first and second ports 38, 40.
  • Disposed on the main board 52 is an LED 53 that can provide light through the lens 26 to illuminate the interior of the furniture item.
  • USB port 30 that can be accessed through the second opening 28 of the outer housing 18 and can, as described above, provide power to recharge electrical devices and/or provide access to the lock 12 to either download or upload data and/or files to the lock 12.
  • a second board 54 may be coupled to the main board 52. Disposed on the second board 54 may be an antenna 56 such as an RFID antenna, as well as a capacitive sensor 58.
  • the RFID antenna 56 may receive a signal from, e.g., an RFID tag, as is known, which may comprise a credential to operate the lock 12.
  • the capacitive sensor 58 may be used to wake the lock 12 from a sleeping state, as is known, to save power.
  • the second board 54 may be perpendicular to the main board 52 such that when the lock 12 is mounted to the item of furniture, the RFID antenna 56 and the capacitive sensor 58 are each oriented toward an end user.
  • an RFID antenna is shown here, other antennas and processes for transmitting an electronic credential, such as Bluetooth, BLE, LoRa, NFC, and wireless internet may also be used.
  • the first inner housing 20 includes a motor seat 60 in which an electric motor 62, a speed reducer 64, and a cylinder cam 66 are disposed.
  • the first inner housing 20 further includes a first pivot seat 68 and a second pivot seat 70.
  • Disposed on the first pivot seat 68 is a trigger 72 having a cross bar 74 and a face 76.
  • the trigger 72 may be pivoted about the first pivot seat 68 between a locked position and an unlocked position.
  • a torsional trigger spring 78 is mounted to the first inner housing 20 and the trigger 72 and it biases the trigger 72 in a clockwise direction to the locked position.
  • the cross bar 74 is disposed against the cylinder cam 66 such that rotation of the cylinder cam 66 by the motor 62 forces the trigger 72 in a counterclockwise direction against the force of the trigger spring 78 and to the unlocked position.
  • a latch 80 Disposed on the second pivot seat 70 is a latch 80 having a shoulder 82 and first and second fingers, 84, 86 defining a latch recess 88.
  • the latch recess 88 is sized and shaped to receive the strike bar 48.
  • the latch 80 is pivotable about the second pivot seat 70 between a latched position and an unlatched position, and the fingers 84, 86 may pivot through the slot 34 in the housing recess 32, as is known.
  • a torsional latch spring 90 is mounted to the first inner housing 20 and the latch 80, and it biases the latch 80 in a counterclockwise direction to the unlatched position.
  • the trigger 72 is located such that when the face 76 of the trigger 72 bears against the shoulder 82 of the latch 80, the latch 80 is locked in the locked and latched position, as will be discussed further below.
  • the main board 52 further includes a feedback indicator 92, which in this case is an LED.
  • the feedback indicator 92 is aligned with the cylinder 50 of the strike 14, such that when the feedback indicator 92 is illuminated, the light travels through the cylinder 50 and is visible by the user from outside the item of furniture.
  • the main board 52 includes a strike proximity sensor 94 that is disposed opposite the strike 14. Accordingly, the strike proximity sensor 94 will indicate when the strike 14 is adjacent the lock 12.
  • the lock 12 is shown in the locked and latched position, securing a panel 96 in a closed position.
  • the panel 96 may be a panel of a drawer, a door of a cabinet or locker, or other closeable panel of an item of furniture.
  • the trigger 72 is pivoted counterclockwise under the force of the trigger spring 78 such that the face 76 of the trigger 72 bears against the shoulder 82 of the latch 80 and the crossbar 74 of the trigger 72 is disposed at the base of the cylinder cam 66.
  • the trigger 72 thereby prevents the latch 80 from rotating and maintains the latch 80 in the latched position.
  • the strike bar 48 of the strike 14 is disposed in the recess 88 of the latch 80, whereby the first finger 84 prevents the strike 14 from exiting the recess 88, thereby securing the panel 96 to the lock 12.
  • Fig. 4 further discloses a switch 98 that is closed by a camming surface 100 of the latch 80 when the latch 80 is in the latched position, thus signaling to the lock 12 the position of the latch 80.
  • the strike proximity sensor 94 is adjacent the strike plate 42, thereby signaling to the lock 12 that the strike 14 is adjacent.
  • the feedback indicator 92 is opposite the cylinder 50, and thereby light emitted by the feedback indicator 92 is directed down the cylinder 50 to the exterior of the panel 96 and provides a visual indication to the user.
  • the feedback indicator 92 may provide a red illumination when the locker is occupied or in use, and a green illumination when the locker is free. Other indications, such as error conditions, and colors are of course possible.
  • the lock 12 is shown in the unlocked and unlatched position.
  • the end user has submitted an electronic credential via the RFID antenna 56, and the locking system 10 has determined that the credential is valid.
  • the electronic credential may be received though other means, such as Bluetooth, NFC, wireless internet, and the like, or, as will be described later, via the first port 38.
  • the processor has signaled the electric motor 62 to rotate, which rotates the cylinder cam 66 a quarter turn. This forces the cross bar 74 to ride up the surface of the cam 66, thereby pivoting the trigger 72 about the first pivot seat 68 in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the face 76 of the trigger 72 is pivoted away from the shoulder 82 of the latch 80, thereby freeing the latch 80 to rotate.
  • the force of the latch spring 90 throws the latch 80 in the counterclockwise direction thereby aligning the recess 88 of the latch 80 with the recess opening 32 of the outer housing 18 and first inner housing 20.
  • the strike 14, and the panel 96 to which it is attached, can be forcibly pushed away from the lock 12 by the force of the latch spring 90.
  • the latch switch 98 is then opened as the latch camming surface 100 retreats, informing the lock 12 that the latch 80 is in the unlatched position, and the strike proximity sensor 94 is opened, informing the lock 12 that the strike 14 is away from the lock 12.
  • the lock 12 is in position for re-latching and re-locking.
  • the motor 62 has rotated the cylinder cam 66 back to its position shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the trigger spring 78 is biasing the trigger 72 in the clockwise direction, but the latch camming surface 100 prevents clockwise rotation of the trigger 72.
  • the strike bar 48 Upon insertion of the strike bar 48 into the latch recess 88 and against the second finger 86, the strike bar 48 causes the latch 80 to rotate in the clockwise direction until the position shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the trigger 72 no longer contacts the latch camming surface 100 and has pivoted in the clockwise direction under the force of the trigger spring 78 such that the face 76 of the trigger 72 again bears against the shoulder 82 of the latch 80, thereby preventing rotation of the latch 80 and securing the strike bar 48 within the recess 88 of the latch 80.
  • the motor 62 rotates the cylinder cam 66 back from its position in Fig. 5 back to its position shown in Fig. 6 after a predetermined amount of time, thus automatically placing the lock 12 back into position to be re-locked and relatched.
  • a user must provide the electronic credential a second time to direct the motor 62 to rotate the cylinder cam 66 back to the position of Fig. 4 .
  • Figures 7 and 8 show an alternate embodiment of a lock 12a where the latch switch 98 of Figs. 4-6 has been replaced with a latch proximity sensor 102.
  • the latch proximity sensor 102 can be functionally equivalent to the latch switch 98 and provides feedback regarding the position of the latch 80.
  • the lock 12a of Figs. 7 and 8 is the same as the lock 12 of Figs. 1-6 .
  • the latch switch 98 (or latch proximity sensor 102), in combination with the strike proximity sensor 94, can provide added functionality to the locking system 10.
  • the motor 62 automatically rotates the cylinder cam 66 to the position shown in Fig. 6 .
  • an issue arises where a user may physically push the latch 80 into the latched position using their finger.
  • the lock 12 is in the latched and locked position where the strike bar 48 is not contained within the recess 88 of the latch 80. This renders the lock 12 unusable until the user provides an electronic credential as described above to unlock the lock 12.
  • the lock 12 may be configured such that the latch sensor 98, 102 reads that the latch 80 is in the latched position.
  • the strike proximity sensor 94 reads that the strike 14 is not adjacent the lock 12, and therefore that the strike bar 48 is not in the recess 88 of the latch 80.
  • the processor will direct the motor 62 to rotate the cylinder cam 66 back to the position of Fig. 5 , thus pivoting the trigger 82 and pushing the face 76 of the trigger 82 off the shoulder 82 of the latch 80 and allowing the latch spring 90 to force the latch 80 in a counterclockwise direction into the unlatched position shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the lock 12 is placed automatically in the unlatched position if the lock 12 does not sense that the strike 14 is adjacent.
  • an electric motor 62 with a cylinder cam 66 is disclosed as the actuator, but other actuators may be employed, such as solenoids, mechanical linear cranks, worm gears, and so forth.
  • the processor is described as instructing the actuator to activate, which results in the rotation of the cylinder cam 66. But with other actuators, such as a solenoid, the activation of the actuator will result in other mechanics, as is known in the art. But such activation will result similarly in the shifting of the trigger 72.
  • an exemplary locker bank 120 having four columns 122 of lockers 124, with each column 122 including four lockers 124, is disclosed.
  • the locker bank 120, and each individual locker 124, is depicted in a simplified set of dashed lines as will be understood by one of ordinary skill.
  • Each locker 124 includes a lock 12 similar to that disclosed above. Although lockers 124 are described, one or ordinary skill will understand that other items of furniture may be used consistent with this disclosure such as cabinets, drawers, and the like.
  • the locker bank 120 includes a module 126 that provides power and data to each lock 12 over cabling 128. As discussed above, the locks 12 are connected via their respective RJ-45 ports 38, 40 in daisy chain fashion.
  • the module 126 is further connected to a controller 130 that can be connected to the internet via hardwiring or a wireless antenna.
  • the module 126 and controller 130 may be placed in, on, or around the locker bank 120, and they may be plugged into a convention wall outlet to receive power.
  • the module 126 and the controller 130 may be combined in a single housing.
  • the controller 130 may be connected to a cloud server via the internet, and the cloud server may be accessible worldwide for access by a remote administrator using, e.g., a personal computer, mobile telephone, or table, to the controller 130.
  • the administrator may set credentials, download audit trails, review current usage, and so forth.
  • a tablet 132 can be included in the locker bank 120 and can be connected to the module 126 for line power.
  • the tablet 132 can further be connected to the controller 130 via Bluetooth or other wireless means such as BLD, LoRa, and NFC.
  • the tablet 132 may be incorporated into in the structure of the locker bank 120, and the user of the tablet 132 can control operations of each individual lock 12, can initiate the locks 12 into the system, and can download audit trails and other information of the usage of each individual lock 12.
  • the tablet 132 may be separate from the locker bank 120 and be powered by its internal battery.
  • the tablet 132 can, in other embodiments, be a mobile device, cellular telephone, or personal computer, and any reference herein to a tablet shall be understood to encompass same.
  • the tablet 132 could be connected to the controller 130 via cabling rather than wireless connection.
  • an end user may provide a credential or instruction to the tablet 132, which then wirelessly communicates with the controller 130, and the controller 130 sends an unlocking instruction to the module 126.
  • the module 126 then distributes the unlocking instruction to the column 122 of lockers 124 containing the targeted lock 12.
  • the instruction will be transmitted from the module 126 to the first port 38 of the top-most lock 12 in the column 122, and to the processor of the top most lock 12.
  • the top-most lock 12 will, in parallel, transmit the instruction to and out its second port 40 down the column to the next lock 12 in the column, and the instruction will propagate down the column in daisy-chain fashion. As depicted in Fig.
  • the controller 126 and locks 12 effectively form a bus 127 that transmits the instruction to each lock 12. To the extent that the instruction directs action by the top-most lock 12, that lock 12 will take the requested action. In certain other embodiments, the lock 12 to which an instruction is directed will perform the action, but may not continue transmitting the instruction down the daisy chain.
  • An end user of the lockers 124 may also operate a lock 12 using a credential transmitter 133 such as an RFID card, tag, a cellular telephone, or other known wireless credential provider.
  • a credential transmitter 133 such as an RFID card, tag, a cellular telephone, or other known wireless credential provider.
  • the lock 12 receives the credential from the transmitter 133 and transmits it to the module 126, which transmits it to the controller 130.
  • the controller 130 determines if the credential is valid, and if so, sends an unlocking instruction back to the lock 12 through the module 126 in the process described above.
  • the controller 130 is connected to the internet and a cloud server, the locks 12 may be controlled and/or reviewed by an administrator using any internet-connected computer as discussed above.
  • the module 126 may be connected to secondary modules 134a, 134b that may transmit instructions for secondary locker banks in similar fashion, with one or more columns of lockers, and one or more lockers in each column.
  • the controller 130 can control separate locker banks via each module 126, 134a, 134b.
  • administrators can easily maintain control of the locks 12 via the tablet 132, or even fully remotely via an internet-connected personal computer, while end users can use the locks 12 by employing RFID tags, NFC, Bluetooth, or other wireless connection via, e.g., a card or cell phone 133.
  • the locker bank 120 includes locks 12b that are similar to locks 12 but do not include antennas, such as RFID antenna 56, for receipt of a wireless credential.
  • This embodiment similarly includes a module 126, a controller 130, and the tablet 132. Administrative control and operation of the locks 12 is accomplished directly from the tablet 132 to the locks 12 themselves via the controller 130.
  • this example also includes a wireless reader 135 also receiving power from the module 126 though a USB hub 137.
  • the reader 135 is configured to receive a wireless signal from card or cellular telephone 133, such as, without limitation, RFID. Upon receipt of the signal, the reader 135 transmits the signal to the tablet 132 through the USB hub 137, which then wirelessly transmits the signal to the controller 130.
  • the configurations of Figs. 9 & 11 may work in assigned-use; in other words, an end user may be assigned a locker 124 and use that same locker 124 on a daily basis with the credential transmitter 133. No other credential will operate the user's locker 124.
  • the configurations may also work in shared-use mode.
  • the user identifies the locker he or she wishes to use and presents his or her credential.
  • the selected locker will pop open, and the user may store his or her items. To retrieve the items, the user re-enters the same credential, and the locker pops open again.
  • the credential may then be deleted from memory.
  • the locker bank 120 includes locks 12 and 12b as described above and which operate in the same manner as described above, receiving power and data from the module 126 over cabling 128.
  • the locker bank 120 may also include a third type of lock 12c, which may be battery powered and be able to communicate wirelessly with the controller 130 over Bluetooth, BLE, or other wireless transmission.
  • the lock 12c bypasses the module 126 and communicates wirelessly with the controller 130.
  • lock 12c may be operated by an end user who uses a credential transmitter 133 such as an RFID card, mobile device, or the like.
  • the locks 12c may also be addressed remotely by an administrator accessing the controller 130 via the cloud server. Accordingly, the controller 130 has the flexibility to operate locks 12, 12b, 12c either wirelessly or wired, and a remote administrator may oversee all locks of the system.
  • First locker banks 200 and a second locker bank 202 are disclosed.
  • First locker banks 200 include locking systems 12 and 12b and a module 126 (all which are internal to the lockers and thus not visible).
  • One or more of the first locker banks 200 may also include an integral tablet 132 and reader 135 accessible by the end user.
  • a controller 204 is hardwired to the module(s) 126 within the locker banks 200, and the locker banks 200 may be plugged in to any standard wall outlet for continuous line power.
  • the tablet 132 may communicate wirelessly with the controller 204 as discussed above.
  • Second locker bank 202 includes locks 206, which are the same wirelessly addressable locks as locks 12c and are individually battery powered. Second locker bank 206 does not include a module 126. The locks 206 may communicate directly with the controller 204 or they may communicate with the tablet 132. Second locker bank 202 is advantageous in that it does not need any hard wire cabling connected to it. Accordingly, the locker bank 202 can be placed as an attractive and useful room divider with no power or data cabling required, and during installation no trench need be dug in the floor to place cables.
  • a first locker bank 200 can be placed against the wall and be powered by line power by plugging in to a standard outlet, while a second locker bank 202 can be placed in the middle of the floor, with no structural modifications needed and no cabling needed, and a single controller 204 can communicate with both, providing great flexibility and easy implementation for the user.
