Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for operating a lock.
  • Devices for operating a lock in particular a locking cylinder actuating element such as a key or a locking cylinder pin, are known from the prior art. Such devices are also referred to as intelligent locks or smartlocks and enable actuator-supported opening and closing of the bolt of a door lock.
  • the smartlock can move a bolt of the door lock from the closed position to an open position or vice versa without a user having to manually operate a key.
  • a smartlock only allows authorized persons to operate the door lock, e.g. those who carry a transponder or a smartphone that is authorized to control the smartlock. It is also possible to control the smartlock by operating a keypad or a fingerprint sensor.
  • a smart lock usually includes an electric motor that generates drive energy for the closing or opening movement.
  • a smart lock also includes energy sources such as non-rechargeable primary batteries or rechargeable secondary batteries (accumulators) that provide the electrical power to operate the electric motor. These batteries can also ensure a power supply for a control device and other elements of the smart lock.
  • a control device of the smart lock can, for example, receive a control signal to open or close the door lock and then control the electric motor to carry out the corresponding movement. However, it is also conceivable that the control device controls the electric motor without receiving a control signal and thus independently, e.g. with a time control.
  • the arrangement of the door handle and door lock also varies on the doors currently in use.
