[0012]
[0013] FIG. 2 is a diagram conceptually showing how the locking and unlocking control device 1 of the present disclosure is installed on the door 2. Specifically, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the case where it is installed on the indoor space side of the door 2. According to FIG. 2, a knob 4 for opening and closing the door is installed on the surface on the indoor space side of the door 2. And, a thumb turn 3 for locking and unlocking the door 2 is installed near the knob 4 on the surface on the indoor space side of the door 2. The locking and unlocking control device 1 of the present disclosure is typically installed on the indoor space side of the door 2 is installed so as to cover the thumb turn 3. At this time, the holder included in the main body 10 of the locking and unlocking control device 1 is connected to the thumb turn 3, and the support 20 is attached directly to the surface of the door 2 or via a pedestal 5.
[0014] Here, as shown as an example in FIG. 2, the thumb turn 3 and the knob 4 may be configured on a pedestal 5 installed so as to protrude from the surface of the door 2. Regarding such a pedestal 5, depending on the type and structure of the door 2, etc., there are cases where the pedestal 5 is not installed in the first place and the thumb turn 3 is directly attached to the surface of the door 2, and the height protruding from the surface of the door 2 varies. That is , depending on the type and structure of the door 2, etc., the distance from the surface of the door 2 to the thumb turn 3 varies . Therefore, the locking and unlocking control device 1 of the present disclosure configures the support 20 attached to the surface of the door 2 to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the door 2, so that the position of the holder can be adjusted according to the distance from the surface of the door 2 to the thumb turn 3. . 2, so that the position of the holder can be adjusted according to the distance from the surface of the door 2 to the thumb turn 3. .
[0015] In the example of FIG. 2, the case where the support 20 is directly attached to the surface of the door 2 is given as an example , but the same applies even when it is indirectly attached via the pedestal 5. In that case, by making the support 20 movable in the vertical direction according to the distance from the pedestal 5 to the thumb turn 3, the position of the holder can be adjusted. .
[0016] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the locking and unlocking control device 1 of the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the specific configuration of the main body 10 and the support 20 included in the locking and unlocking control device 1. According to FIG. 3, the main body 10 includes a holder 17 connected to the thumb turn 3, and the thumb turn 3 . According to FIG. 3, the main body 10 includes a holder 17 connected to the thumb turn 3, and the thumb turn 3 The holder 17 is moved in at least one of the directions (directions D2 and D3) for locking or unlocking. a rotation unit 15 for applying a driving force to the holder 17 for rotating the Above the rotating unit 15 (in the direction opposite to the door surface) and above the holder 17 (in the direction opposite to the thumb turn 3) The main body case 12 is for accommodating the two (opposite directions) and the main body case 12 is for detachably mounting the two (opposite directions). The main body case may include at least a main body cover 11 connected to cover the outer surface of the main body case. In addition to the above components, the main body 10 also includes a lower part of the holder 17 (which holds the thumb turn 3) The housing 12 is detachably connected to the main body case 12 so as to cover the portion (the portion corresponding to the portion containing the housing 12). The holder cover 14 is detachably attached to the main body case 12 so as to cover the outer surface of the support 20. and an outer cover 18 to which the support 12 is operably connected.
[0017] When the main body case 12 is viewed from a viewpoint along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the door 2 (direction D1), The holder 17 is accommodated in approximately half of the oval shape having a predetermined thickness in the same direction. The other half of the area is configured to accommodate the rotating unit 15 and the support 20. The holder 17 is attached to the rotation axis of the knob 30 which is rotatably connected to the main body cover 11. The tip end of the holder 17 is fitted into the main body case 12. The moving unit 15 is fixed to the main body case by means of a fastener such as a screw (not shown). Furthermore, the main body case 12 is fixed so that the support 20 is perpendicular to the surface of the door 2. The rail is connected to the main case 1 so as to be slidable in the direction D1. 2, the end of the door 2 is connected to the main body case 12 (the surface of the main body case 12 that is installed parallel to the surface of the door 2). The film is configured to extend in a direction D1 perpendicular to the direction of the film.
[0018] When viewed from a perspective along the direction D1, the main body cover 11 has an oblong elliptical shape similar to that of the main body case 12, and its outer shape is formed to be larger than that of the main body case 12 by a predetermined amount. As a result, when the main body cover 11 is connected to the main body case 12, it can cover the main body case 12 and the battery housing portion (described later) of the support body 20. Further, on the main body cover 11, at a position corresponding to the region where the holder 17 is accommodated, the knob 30 is rotatably installed with respect to the main body cover 11.
[0019] The holder cover 14 is formed in a shape that follows the outer shape of the region where the holder 17 ends in the main body case 12, and is attached so as to fit into the corresponding region of the main body case 12 to cover the holder 17. Such a holder cover 14 covers the portion of the holder 17 that is not accommodated in the main body case 12, enhances the design property when viewed from the outside, and can prevent unauthorized access to the portion.
[0020] The support body outer cover 18 is formed in a shape that follows the outer shape of the substantially cylindrical support body 20, and is attached so as to fit near the rail of the main body case 12 to cover the support body 20. Such a support body outer cover 18 covers at least a part of the support body 20, enhances the design property when viewed from the outside, and can prevent unauthorized access to the portion.
[0021] Further, according to FIG. 3, the support body 20 is slidably connected along the rail of the main body case 12 in a direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2. The support body 20 supports the connected main body 10 by having its bottom surface side installed on the surface of the door 2. The said support body 20 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape extending along the direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2, and includes a housing structure (for example, a battery housing portion) capable of housing other components therein. Inside the housing structure, there is a battery 22 that moves along with the movement of the support 20 by being housed therein. As such a battery 22, a secondary battery that can be repeatedly charged by receiving external power supply is preferable, but it is not particularly limited thereto and a primary battery can also be preferably used. Also, the battery 22 is used to share power with a motor, electronic components, etc., but such power supply can also be directly supplied from an external power source via a power connector instead of the battery 22.
[0022] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the main body cover 11 of the unlocking and locking control device 1 of the present disclosure is removed from the main body case 12. Specifically, FIG. 4 is a view for showing the housing structure of the battery 22 and the connection structure of the knob 30. According to FIG. 4, the main body case 12 has an opening 121 formed in a region where the support 20 is housed along the outer shape of the support 20, and the support housing portion 122 is formed by the opening 121 and the rail 124. Then, inside this support housing portion 122, the support 20 is housed so as to be slidable in the direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2. Here, the support 20 includes a support case 21 formed in a hollow substantially cylindrical shape housed inside the support housing portion 122, and a support inner cover (not shown in FIG. 4) installed on the door 2 side of the support case 21. Among these, an opening 211 is formed at an end portion of the support case 21 opposite to the door 2 formed in a cylindrical shape. And, inside Other components can be accommodated inside the support case 21 formed in the air through the opening 211. In the present disclosure, the accommodation structure is used as a battery accommodation portion 212 for detachably accommodating the battery 22.
[0023] The main body cover 11 includes a locking piece 111 that is inserted into the locking hole 129 of the main body case 12 near the approximate center in the longitudinal direction thereof. The locking piece 111 is formed elastically on the main body cover 11 and has a locking claw at its tip. Therefore, when the main body cover 11 covers the main body case 12, the locking piece 111 is elastically deformed and inserted into the locking hole 129 of the main body case 12, and the locking claw at the tip catches on the periphery of the locking hole 129, whereby the main body cover 11 is connected to the main body case 12. On the other hand, when removing the main body cover 11 from the main body case 12, a load is applied to the periphery of the locking piece 111 to elastically deform the locking piece 111, and the locking piece 111 is withdrawn from the locking hole 129, whereby the main body cover 11 is removed from the main body case. Note that a plurality of such locking pieces 111 and locking holes 129 may be provided at corresponding positions. Also, although the method of detachably connecting the main body cover 11 to the main body case 12 and the method of using the locking piece 111 and the locking hole 129 have been described, of course, other methods may be used.
[0024] As described above, the main body cover 11 is detachably attached to the main body case 12 by the locking piece 111 and the locking hole 129. Also, since the main body cover 11 is formed along the outer shape of the support accommodation portion 122 of the main body case 12, it is possible to cover the battery 22 and the opening 211 of the support case 21. Therefore, the battery 22 is covered by the main body cover. By removing the main body cover 11 from the main body case 12, the battery housing portion 2 of the support case 21 can be taken out from the 12.
[0025] Here, as shown in FIG. 4, on the main body cover 11, at a position corresponding to the region where the holder 17 of the main body case 12 ends, a knob 30 is attached. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the main body cover 11 of the unlocking and locking control device 1 of the present disclosure is removed from the main body case 12 is. Specifically, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the attachment structure of the knob 30 to the main body cover 11 and the connection structure of the knob 30 to the holder 17 is. According to FIG. 5, at the end of the rotation axis formed toward the holder 17 at approximately the center of the knob 30, from the back surface of the main body cover 11, via a washer 313, by a screw 312 the knob tip member 311 is fixed. At this time, the rotation axis of the knob 30 is inserted into the rotation axis insertion hole (not shown in FIG. 5) of the main body cover 11, and the knob 30 is sandwiched by the knob tip member 311 formed larger than the width of the rotation axis insertion hole so as to fix the main body cover 11. Thereby, the knob 30 is rotatably attached to the main body cover 11
[0026] On the other hand, the knob tip member 311 is fixed to the rotation axis so as to protrude from the back surface of the main body cover 11. And when the main body cover 11 is attached to the main body case 12 the knob tip member 311 is inserted into the opening 123 formed in the main body case 12 and fitted into the knob housing hole 172 formed in the knob housing portion 171 on the extension line of the rotation axis of the holder is. Thus, the knob 30 is fixed so as to sandwich the main body cover 11. As a result, the knob 30 is rotatably attached to the main body cover 11 is inserted into the rotation axis insertion hole (not shown in FIG. 5) of the main body cover 11, and the knob 30 is sandwiched by the knob tip member 311 formed larger than the width of the rotation axis insertion hole so as to fix the main body cover 11. Thereby, the knob 30 is rotatably attached to the main body cover 11 is attached. is attached.
[0027] On the other hand, the knob tip member 311 is fixed to the rotation axis so as to protrude from the back surface of the main body cover 11. And when the main body cover 11 is attached to the main body case 12 the knob tip member 311 is inserted into the opening 123 formed in the main body case 12 and fitted into the knob housing hole 172 formed in the knob housing portion 171 on the extension line of the rotation axis of the holder is inserted, and fits into the knob housing hole 172 formed in the knob housing portion 171 which is on the extension line of the rotation axis of the holder is formed. Here, the outer shape of the protruding portion of the knob tip member 311 is formed in a substantially polygonal shape with a longitudinal distance of S1 and a short transverse distance of S2. Also, the outer shape of the knob receiving hole 172 into which the knob tip member 311 fits is also formed in a substantially polygonal shape with a longitudinal distance of S1' and a short transverse distance of S2' corresponding to the outer shape of the knob tip member 311. Therefore, when the knob tip member 311 is fitted into the knob receiving hole 172, it becomes possible to rotate the holder 17 together by rotating the knob 30. Thus, by manually rotating the knob 30 in the direction of locking or unlocking the thumb turn 3, it becomes possible to rotate the holder 17 and the thumb turn 3 connected to the holder 17 together. Also, the length (distance) S1 of the longitudinal side and the length (distance) S2 of the short transverse side of the knob tip member 311 are different lengths from each other. Similarly, for the outer shape of the knob receiving hole 172, the length (distance) S1' of its longitudinal side and the length (distance) S2' of its short transverse side are different lengths from each other. Also, not limited to this, it is possible to form each side of the outer shape of the knob tip member 31 and the knob receiving hole 172 to have the same length and be square. However, originally, although the knob 30 was installed so as to be in the vertical direction and was connected to the knob receiving hole 172, when the user carelessly rotates (for example, by 90 degrees) the knob 30 when removing the main body cover 11 from the main body case 12. Then, if the main body cover 11 is attached to the main body case 12 again as it is, if the outer shapes of the knob tip member 31 and the knob receiving hole 172 are square, even though the knob 30 is in a state rotated by 90 degrees instead of the original angle, it will become possible to attach. To avoid such inconveniences, as described above, the length (distance) of the longitudinal side is formed to be short in the longitudinal direction with a distance of S1 and in a substantially polygonal shape with a distance of S2 in the short transverse direction. Also, the knob tip member 311 fits into the outer shape of the knob receiving hole 172 is also formed in a substantially polygonal shape with a longitudinal distance of S1' and a short transverse distance of S2' corresponding to the outer shape of the knob tip member 311. Therefore, when the knob tip member 311 is fitted into the knob receiving hole 172, by rotating the knob 30, it becomes possible to rotate the holder 17 together. Thus, by manually rotating the knob 30 in the direction of locking or unlocking the thumb turn 3, it becomes possible to rotate the holder 17 and the thumb turn 3 connected to the holder 17 together. Also, the length (distance) S1 of the longitudinal side of the knob tip member 3 11 and the length (distance) S2 of the short transverse side are different from each other in length. Similarly, for the outer shape of the knob receiving hole 172, the length (distance) S1' of its longitudinal side and the length (distance) S2' of its short transverse side are different from each other in length. Also, not limited to this, it is possible to form each side of the outer shape of the knob tip member 31 and the knob receiving hole 172 to have the same length and be square However, originally, although the knob 30 was installed so as to be in the vertical direction and was connected to the knob receiving hole 172, when the user carelessly rotates (for example, by 90 degrees) the knob 30 when removing the main body cover 11 from the main body case 12. Then, if the main body cover 11 is attached to the main body case 12 again as it is, if the outer shapes of the knob tip member 31 and the knob receiving hole 172 are square, even though the knob 30 is in a state rotated by 90 degrees instead of the original angle, it will become possible to attach thereafter. To avoid such inconveniences, as described above, the length (distance) of the longitudinal side (distance) and the length of the short transverse side are made different from each other as described above. Even though the knob 30 is in a state rotated by 90 degrees instead of the original angle, it will become possible to attach To avoid such inconveniences, as described above, the length (distance) of the longitudinal side S1 and the length (distance) of the short side S2, and the length (distance) of the long side S1' and the short side It is preferable that the lengths (distances) S2' of the sides in the direction are different from each other. The outer shapes of the tip member 31 and the knob receiving hole 172 are merely examples, and are not necessarily circular. Alternatively, the projections and holes may be formed in combination.
[0028] In the example of FIG. 5, the main body cover 11 is in the use state of the locking / unlocking control device 1. That is, the holder 17 is connected to the thumb turn 3, and the battery is accommodated in the battery accommodating portion. In this state, the knob 30 is detachable from the main body case 12. Since the holder 17 is attached to the body cover 11, the holder 17 can be easily attached and detached at the same time as the body cover 11 is attached and detached. For example, a hole can be drilled through the door 2 for fraudulent purposes, and the In this case, a user may insert his / her hand into the opening and rotate the knob 30 manually. Even in such a case, for example, when going out, the main body cover 11 is attached to the main body case together with the knob 30. By removing it from 12, it is possible to effectively prevent such fraud.
[0029] FIG. 6 conceptually illustrates how the support 20 of the locking / unlocking control device 1 of the present disclosure is moved. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows a state in which the support 20 is moved from a state in which the support 20 is completely accommodated in the main body 10 to ... 10 until it is exposed to the outside. The thumb turn 3 to which the holder 17 is connected is adjusted according to the presence or absence of a base 5, the height of the base 5, etc. The height from the surface of the door 2 varies. Therefore, the holder 1 is adjusted to the height of the thumb turn 3. It is necessary to adjust the position of the support 20 on the body 1 according to FIG. The state in which the entire body is housed inside the main body case 12 of 0 and the support outer cover 18 (Fig. 6 (A)), at least a part of it is exposed from the main body case 12 and the support outer cover 18 The state in which it is exposed (Fig. 6(B)), and most of it is from the main body case 12 and the support outer cover 18 It is possible to change the form until the exposed state (Fig. 6(C)).
[0030] In addition, in Fig. 6, the state of movement of the support 20 is shown in three stages of Fig. 6(A) to Fig. 6(C). However, of course, it is not limited to three stages, and it may be two stages or even more stages.
[0031] Figs. 7 and 8 are front perspective views of the main body cover 11 and the support outer cover of the unlocking and locking control device 1 of the present disclosure 18 in a state where they are removed. Specifically, Figs. 7 and 8 are diagrams for explaining the structure for the support 20 to move shown in Figs. 6(A) to Fig. 6(C). According to Fig. 7, the main body case 12 has an opening 121 into which a support case 21 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape in a direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2 is inserted. Further, the main body case 12 has a rail 124 formed so as to extend in the direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2 at the proximal end portion of the opening 121. The rail 124 has a pair of grooves 124-1 and 124-2 formed toward the inside of the main body case 12 at both ends in the lateral direction D4 of the main body case 12, and extends in the direction D1.
[0032] On the other hand, the support case 21 of the support 20 has a pair of engaging ridges 213-1 and 213-2 at a position in contact with the rail 124 of the main body case 12. This pair of engaging ridges 213-1 and The rail 124 is provided with a pair of grooves 124-1 and 124-2, and the rail 124 is provided with a pair of grooves 124-1 and 124-2. Thus, the support case 21 is formed to extend in the direction D1. The pair of grooves 124-1 and 124-2 engage with the engagement protrusions 213-1 and 213-2. , and is connected to the main body case 12 so as to be movable on the rails 124 of the main body case 12. In addition, the support inner cover 23 formed on the front side of the door 2 with respect to the support case 21 is also supported. It moves together with the movement of the carrier case 21.
[0033] The support case 21 is formed on the surface of the door 2 in a direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2. On the other hand, the main body case has a plurality of fitting holes 214 (fitting holes 214-1 to 214-n) formed therein. The stopper 125 is formed in the vicinity of the fitting hole 214. 125 has one end 125a inserted into a stopper insertion hole 126 formed in the main body case 12. By this, the connector 14 is connected to the main body case 12 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the main body case 12. The other end 125b of the topper 125 is provided with a plurality of fitting holes 214- 1 to 214-n. As shown in FIG. 1, the support case 21 is connected to the main body case 12 so as to be movable along the rail 124. However, a fitting protrusion formed on the other end 125b of the stopper 125 connected to the main case 12 is The support member 21 is supported by fitting the support member 21 into one of the fitting holes 214-1 to 214-n of the support member case 21. The movement of the holder case 21 relative to the main case 12 is restricted.
[0034] FIG. 7 shows the state in which the support 20 moves to the upper end of the main body case 12 and the outside of the main body case 12 and the support 20 are removed. It shows a state where the whole is housed inside the side cover 18 (not shown). At this time, the fitting protrusion formed at the other end 125b of the stopper 125 fits into the fitting hole 214- 1 of the support case 21, thereby restricting the movement of the support case 21 at the position shown in FIG. 7. On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows the support 20 moving in the direction D1 perpendicular to the surface of the door 2 from the upper end of the main body case 12, and at least a part of it being exposed from the main body case 12 and the outer cover 18 of the support. Such movement is achieved by sliding the stopper 125 inserted into the stopper insertion hole 126 once in the longitudinal direction D5 of the main body case 12 to temporarily release the restriction on the movement of the support case 21. After the restriction is released and the support case 21 is moved to the desired position, by sliding the stopper 125 back to the position before sliding again, the fitting protrusion formed at the other end 125b of the stopper 125 is fitted into the fitting hole 214-3.
