Description

[0001] "Single-leaf locking control system"

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present invention relates to the field of equipment for openings, particularly of the window or French window type, usable in the building sector. It relates to the detection of locked or unlocked states of one or more sashes.

[0004] One application concerns casement windows or French windows, comprising at least one leaf mounted to rotate relative to a frame.

[0005] STATE OF THE ART

[0006] Home automation technologies have enabled the development of new functionalities and services accessible to users. For example, so-called smart doors and windows are now available, meaning they can provide information about their status, and in particular, whether they are locked or unlocked.

[0007] A door closure system comprising a lock and means for detecting whether the lock is locked or unlocked is known from patent publication WO 2018 / 220384 A1. Specifically, a switch includes a movable mechanical element for opening or closing an electrical detection circuit. This element is arranged in conjunction with the lock bolt, so that it transitions from the open to the closed state of the circuit depending on its interaction with the bolt. An electronic unit, including a transmitter, provides the locked or unlocked status information to a user equipped with a suitable receiver, such as a smartphone with a dedicated home automation application. This technique is generally satisfactory but requires locks specifically designed for this purpose. Furthermore, this solution is complex to install and repair.

[0008] An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a control system for locking a window or French window which can be more easily associated with a locking device.

[0009] The other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the examination of the following description and accompanying drawings.

[0010] SUMMARY

[0011] To achieve this objective, according to one embodiment, a control system for a locking and unlocking system of a window sash relative to a window frame is provided, the locking system comprising a locking roller at least partially formed of a ferromagnetic material, the locking roller being moved from an engaged position to an disengaged position when the locking and unlocking system passes from a locked position to an unlocked position, and vice versa. The system comprises: a.a support comprising a housing, a first end and a second end, the first end being intended to be placed opposite the locking roller of the locking and unlocking system, the first end being at least partially formed of a magnetic material, thus creating a magnetic attraction between the locking roller and the first end, so that a translation of the locking roller along a so-called locking direction causes a translation of the support in that same direction, b. a guide to be fixed on the window sash, the guide being suitable for receiving and guiding in translation the second end of the support according to the locking direction, c. a magnetic sensor housed in the housing of the support or fixed on the window frame, d.a magnet intended to be fixed to the window frame when the magnetic sensor is housed in the housing, or intended to be housed in the housing when the magnetic sensor is fixed to the window frame, the magnetic sensor being configured to detect information about its position relative to the magnet, thus enabling the detection of at least one of the locked and unlocked positions of the locking and unlocking system.

[0012] Thus, when a user changes the state of the locking system, causing the roller to move, the magnetic sensor is also moved due to the magnetic attraction between it and the locking roller. The magnetic sensor consequently detects a change in its position relative to the magnet. This information allows the locking system to be determined.

[0013] A major advantage of the invention lies in its universality. Since the vast majority of rollers in door and French window locking systems are made of materials with ferromagnetic properties (often steel), the present invention can be used regardless of the locking system employed. It is not necessary to adapt the support to the shape of the roller, which varies from one model to another, to allow the magnetic sensor to be driven when the roller is moved. This greatly simplifies the manufacture of the device and its installation on a window.

[0014] Furthermore, the system according to the invention is very compact and does not require the removal of any elements of the locking system to be added to the door leaf. One approach would have been to replace one of the locking strikes fixed to the window frame with a control system. This would have had the major drawback of reducing the robustness of the door lock, which is unacceptable. The system according to the invention does not require such a replacement. It is simply added against the locking rod of the door leaf and held in place by magnetic attraction and a guide attached to the leaf.

[0015] Thus, the present invention proposes a universal, simple to install and compact solution, allowing for efficient detection of the state of a locking system.

[0016] A second aspect of the invention relates to a window comprising an opening, a fixed frame, a locking and unlocking system for the opening relative to the fixed frame of the window, the locking system comprising a locking roller at least partially formed of a ferromagnetic material, and a control system for the locking and unlocking system according to the first aspect of the invention.

[0017] A third aspect of the invention relates to a method of installing the control system according to the first aspect of the invention comprising the following steps: a. fix the guide on the opening of the window, b. insert one end of the magnetic sensor and the magnet into the housing of the support, c. insert the second end of the support into the guide and position the first end of the support opposite the locking roller, thus creating a magnetic attraction between the first end and the locking roller, d. fix the other end of the magnetic sensor and the magnet on the frame of the window.

[0018] The advantages described with reference to the control system according to the invention apply mutatis mutandis to the window and the method according to the second and third aspects of the invention respectively.

[0036] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] Before proceeding with a detailed review of embodiments of the invention, the following are optional features that may be used in combination or alternatively:

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the magnet is intended to be fixed to the window frame. In one example, the housing is an opening that passes completely through the support.

[0039] In one example, the first end and the second end of the support are located on either side of the housing.

[0040] According to a preferred embodiment, the magnetic sensor includes a communication system capable of emitting a signal containing information relating to the state of the locking and unlocking system.

[0041] According to a preferred embodiment, the first end has a shape such that when the first end of the support is placed opposite the locking roller, these two elements come into contact by magnetic attraction according to a linear or point contact area.

[0042] In one example, the first end of the support has the shape of a cylindrical rod.

[0043] In one example, the first end of the support has a diameter d2i of at least 3 mm. In another example, the first end of the support has a length L21, measured along the locking direction with L21 greater than or equal to 10 mm, preferably greater than or equal to 12 mm.

[0044] The opening part of the window can be referred to as the "leaf".

[0045] A coordinate system, preferably orthonormal, comprising the X, Y, and Z axes is shown in Figures 1A to 1D, 2A, 3A, and 4A. The Z direction may be designated as the "vertical Z direction." The plane defined by the X and Z directions may be designated as the "principal plane XZ" or the "window plane XZ." The concepts of height and "top" and "bottom" of an element will be defined according to the vertical Z direction, it being understood that the height along Z is greater the further one moves from the ground of the environment in which the system is located.

[0046] The present invention can be used to equip a window or French window, for example, made of aluminum, plastic, and / or wood. The invention is particularly advantageous for casement windows. It can also be used in sliding windows. Generally, the invention can be used in any type of window or door frame. Typically, a sash comprises a frame and a pane of one or more glazed surfaces. Two vertical frame elements, called mullions, are arranged laterally on either side of the pane. The other two frame elements are horizontally extending rails.

[0047] The environment in which the system according to the invention is typically intended to be installed will first be described.

[0048] The system according to the invention is intended to control a locking and unlocking system for a window sash relative to a window frame. Such a locking system can be moved from a locked position, in which it prevents the window sash from opening relative to the frame, to an unlocked position, in which opening is permitted, and vice versa.

[0049] An example of such a locking mechanism involves at least one movable latching element mounted on the sash, designed to cooperate with a locking element on the corresponding frame stile. For example, the movable element could be a roller, which can engage with a complementary part of the frame in the locked position. This complementary part is typically a strike plate. In the unlocked position, the roller is disengaged from the strike plate, for example, because it is located in the center of the strike plate, in an area where no element of the strike plate obstructs its movement out of the plane of the window. In the locked position, the roller is engaged with the strike plate, for example, in a guide rail within the strike plate.Moving from the locked to the unlocked position and vice versa can be achieved by a translational movement along a direction known as the locking direction 2, generally corresponding to the vertical direction Z. To ensure this translation, the roller is usually supported by a rod, which is itself driven in translation by a control, such as a handle. Of course, several rollers can be fitted to a single leaf, particularly to achieve multi-point locking depending on its height.

[0050] In a perfectly conventional manner, the handle controlling the locking system is movable around a pivot point. This pivot point is typically perpendicular to the plane in which the door or window is primarily located. The rotation of the handle causes the rod to move, which in turn causes the roller to move.

[0051] The roller can have various shapes: for example, it can be a mushroom-headed roller, a cylindrical roller, or a roller with a countersunk head. In the vast majority of cases, if not always, the roller is made of a ferromagnetic material. It is typically made of steel. Preferably, the area of ​​the roller intended to interact with the magnetic part described below is cylindrical, with a circular cross-section. According to one possibility, the invention provides a roller having a non-ferromagnetic body coated, at least in the area intended to interact with the magnetic part, with a ferromagnetic material (this can be a coating surrounding the roller body or a more localized element attached to the roller body, for example, by bonding); thus, any roller locking device, even one originally non-ferromagnetic, can be equipped with the invention.

[0052] As explained above, the position of the roller is entirely linked to the locked or unlocked state of the locking system. The present invention exploits this, as well as the fact that the roller is made of a ferromagnetic material regardless of its shape, to control the window locking mechanism.

[0053] The control system according to the invention will now be described with reference to Figures 1A to 5C.

[0054] System 1 according to the invention comprises a magnetic sensor 30. System 1 according to the invention further comprises a magnet 31, which may be referred to as a reference magnet 31. The magnetic sensor 30 and the magnet 31 serve to detect the state of the locking and unlocking system (locked state or unlocked state). A first embodiment, in which the magnetic sensor 30 is located on the sash 100 of the window, is illustrated in Figures 1A to 3C. A second embodiment, in which the magnetic sensor 30 is located on the frame 200 of the window and the magnet 31 is located on the sash 100 of the window, is illustrated in Figures 5A to 5C. The systems according to these two embodiments have many common structural features and are therefore largely described in common below. Where the structure of system 1 differs from one embodiment to the other, this is specified.

[0055] System 1 includes first of all a support 20. The support 20 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22. Preferably, the first end 21 and the second end 22 are located on either side of the support 20.

[0056] The first end 21 is typically a rod, which may, for example, extend from the support 20. This rod 21 preferably extends primarily along the locking direction 2 when the system 1 is installed on the window sash 100. The first end 21 has a length L21 along the locking direction. The first end also typically has a cylindrical shape with its axis parallel to the locking direction 2. In the classic case of a circular cylindrical first end 21, its diameter d2i is defined in the plane perpendicular to the locking direction 2. d2i and L21 are preferably chosen so that the first end 21 has a volume of material that allows for a strong magnetic attraction with the roller 50. For example, d2i is preferably greater than or equal to 3 mm. L21 is preferably greater than or equal to 10 mm, and preferably greater than or equal to 12 mm.

[0057] The second end 22 has, for example, the shape of a blade or a tongue. It preferably extends mainly along the locking direction 2 when the system 1 is installed on the opening 100 of the window.

[0058] The support 20 further includes a housing 23 for receiving the magnetic sensor 30 or the magnet 31. The housing 23 is typically defined by a central portion 24 of the support 20. The central portion 24 of the support 20 preferably has an oblong shape, the main dimension of which preferably extends along the locking direction 2 when the housing 23 is intended to receive the magnetic sensor 30. When the housing 23 is intended to receive the magnet 31, the housing 23 typically takes the form of a slot defined in the central portion 24 of the support 20, the main direction of the slot preferably extending perpendicularly to the locking direction 2, in the plane of the opening 100, as illustrated in particular in Figure 5A.

[0059] The first end 21, the central part 24 and the second end 22 are preferably aligned along the locking direction 2.

[0060] According to an advantageous example illustrated in particular in figure 1 B, the housing 23 goes completely through the support 20 in its thickness, that is to say it forms a hole opening into the support 20. When the magnetic sensor 30 is housed in the housing 23, this makes it easier to install the magnetic sensor 30 in the housing 23 and especially to remove it, for example in case of maintenance.

[0061] According to an alternative embodiment, the housing 23 does not completely pass through the support 20. A wall defined by the central part 24 then delimits the housing 23 so that it forms a blind hole in the support 20. This alternative example is preferred when the housing 23 accommodates the magnet 31.

[0062] Advantageously, the central portion 24 defines a closed contour in which the magnetic sensor 30 can be housed. Advantageously, the dimensions and shape of the housing 23 and those of the magnetic sensor 30 (or the magnet 31, depending on the embodiment) are configured such that inserting the magnetic sensor 30 (or the magnet 31) into the housing 23 is sufficient to hold it in place. This eliminates the need for a cover to close the housing 23.

[0063] However, it is perfectly conceivable that the support 20 has a cover (not shown) configured to close the housing 23. The cover can, for example, be clipped onto the central part 24. The cover can thus serve to hold the magnetic sensor 30 in the housing 23.

[0064] The first end 21 of the support is at least partially made of a magnetic material (e.g., iron, aluminum, nickel, or copper). This first end 21 is designed to be positioned opposite the roller of the locking system described above. A magnetic attraction then arises between the roller and the first end 21. Thus, as will be described later, a translation of the roller due to the locking or unlocking of the window causes the support 20 to move through the interaction between the roller and the first end 21.

[0065] The system 1 also includes a guide 40 to be fixed on the opening 100. This guide 40 has a shape and dimensions enabling it to receive and guide in translation the second end 22 of the support 20 when the latter moves in translation.

[0066] As illustrated in Figure 1C, thanks to the magnetic attraction between the roller 50 and the first end 21, these two elements do not need to be mechanically joined for the support 20 to be driven by the movement of the roller. In practice, the roller 50 and the first end 21 are simply in contact, or even just facing each other, without direct contact. The contact between the roller 50 and the first end 21 typically occurs along a line of contact (for example, in the case of a cylindrical roller and a first end 21 with a flat tip 211, as illustrated in Figure 1C) or at a point (for example, in the case of a cylindrical roller and a first end 21 with a convex tip 211, not shown).

[0067] When the magnetic sensor 30 is placed in the housing 23 of the bracket 20 (Figures 1A to 3C), the reference magnet 31 can be placed on the window frame 200 or on the window sash 100. When fixed to the sash 100, it is positioned where it is not driven by the locking system or the bracket 20. It thus remains stationary in the frame's reference frame. Whether the reference magnet 31 is placed on the sash or the frame, it is detected by the magnetic sensor 30 carried by the bracket 20. The sensor 30 is configured to detect information relating to its distance from the reference magnet 31. When the locking system is in the locked position, the magnetic sensor 30 and the reference magnet 31 are typically closer together than when the locking system is in the unlocked position.It is therefore possible, from the detection of the reference magnet 31 by the magnetic sensor 30, to retrieve information on the state - locked or unlocked - of the locking system.

[0068] When the magnetic sensor 30 is placed in the housing 23 of the support 20, it is preferable that the reference magnet 31 be placed on the window frame 200. This is because the user might place the locking system in the locked position while the window is open, i.e., when the sash is not aligned with the frame. In such a case, although the locking system is in the locked position, the window is not actually locked. Based solely on information regarding the movement of the roller 50, it is therefore possible to incorrectly conclude that the window is properly locked. By placing the reference magnet 31 on the window frame 200, this problem is solved: the magnetic sensor 30 will detect the reference magnet 31 more or less effectively depending on whether the window is closed or not (i.e., whether the sash is in the window jamb).Specifically, when the window is fully open, the signal detected by the magnetic sensor 30 is very weak or even zero, which is interpreted as an open window state. It is then possible to conclude that the window is not locked, regardless of the state of the locking system. Errors are therefore considerably reduced or even eliminated.

[0069] When magnet 31 is placed in slot 23 of support 20 (Figures 5A to 5C), the magnetic sensor 30 is attached to the window sash 100. In this embodiment, several magnets 31 are preferably placed in several slots 23 provided in support 20.

[0070] In both the first and second embodiments, it is possible to detect more than two window states. For example, in addition to a "locked" and an "unlocked" state, it is possible to detect a ventilation state in which the sash 100 is positioned in a ventilation position, commonly referred to as a tilt-up opening. This is possible because the sash's position in this third position is always contingent upon the locking system—and therefore the roller 50—being positioned in a position distinct from the locked and unlocked positions. This third position of the roller 50 can therefore be read by the magnetic sensor 30, just as with the other two positions.

[0071] The kinematics of system 1 according to the invention and of its environment will now be described in more detail with reference to Figures 2A to 4C. These figures illustrate the kinematics of system 1 in the case of the first embodiment, where the housing 23 accommodates the magnetic sensor 30. It is understood that these explanations apply mutatis mutandis to the case where it is the magnet 31 that is accommodated in the housing 23, since only the relative positioning between the magnetic sensor 30 and the magnet 31 is important.

[0072] Figures 2A to 2C illustrate in particular the displacement of the support 20 of system 1 under the effect of the displacement of the roller 50 of the window locking system. These figures respectively show a configuration in which the locking system is locked, one in which the locking system is unlocked, and one in which the locking system allows the tilting sash to be positioned. Figures 3A to 3C show the relative position of the magnetic sensor 30 and the reference magnet 31 in each of these three configurations. Finally, Figures 4A to 4C illustrate the position of the window handle in these same three configurations.

[0073] Figures 2A, 3A, and 4A illustrate the situation when the locking system is in the locked position. The locked position is achieved by positioning the handle in a locking control position. Typically, when the handle is in the locking control position, it forms a control angle α of approximately 0° (see Figure 4A). The control angle α is measured in the plane of the door leaf, relative to the vertical direction Z. In this configuration, the roller 50 is engaged in the strike plate 51 (see Figure 2A) fixed to the frame (not shown). The roller 50 is then said to be in its engaged position. Due to the magnetic attraction between the roller 50 and the first end 21 of the support 20, the latter is in a first position Pi. In this position Pi, the second end 22 is only slightly, if at all, engaged in the guide 40.As illustrated in Figure 3A, in this position Pi, the center of the magnetic sensor 30 can be located, depending on the locking direction, above the reference magnet 31.

[0074] Figures 2B, 3B, and 4B illustrate the situation when the locking system is in the unlocked position. The locked position is achieved by positioning the handle in a locking control position. Typically, when the handle is in the unlocking control position, it forms a control angle α of approximately 90° (see Figure 4B). In this configuration, the roller 50 is disengaged from the strike plate 51 fixed to the frame (see Figure 2B). The roller 50 is then said to be in its disengaged position. When the locking system moves from the locked to the unlocked position, the roller 50 acts on the support not only by magnetic attraction but also by mechanical drive: the roller 50 pushes the support 20 in the locking direction. At this point, the second end 22 engages slightly further in the guide 40. The support 20 thus ends up in a second position P2.As illustrated in Figure 3B, in this second position P2, the center of the magnetic sensor 30 can be, depending on the locking direction, at the same level as the reference magnet 31.

[0075] Figures 2C, 3C, and 4C illustrate the situation when the locking system is in the ventilation position. The ventilation position is achieved by positioning the handle in a ventilation control position. Typically, when the handle is in the ventilation control position, it forms a control angle α of approximately 180° (see Figure 4C). In this configuration, the roller 50 is typically disengaged from the strike plate 51 fixed to the frame (see Figure 2C). When the locking system moves from the unlocked position to the ventilation position, the roller 50 acts on the support not only by magnetic attraction but also by mechanical drive: the roller 50 pushes the support 20 in the locking direction. At this point, the second end 22 engages further in the guide 40. The support 20 thus ends up in a third position P3.As illustrated in Figure 3B, in this third position P3, the center of the magnetic sensor 30 can be located, depending on the locking direction, below the reference magnet 31.

[0076] When the handle has moved from the control position to the unlocked position, and / or from the unlocked position to the locked position,

[0077] Thus, for each position of the roller 50, and therefore for each position Pi, P2, P3 of the support 0, the magnetic sensor 30 is in a different position relative to the reference magnet 31. The signal received by the magnetic sensor 30 thus provides information on the state of the window locking system. In the advantageous embodiment where the magnetic sensor 30 is housed in the housing 23 and the reference magnet 31 is placed on the window frame 200, this information takes into account whether the window is closed. The paragraphs above describe an operation in which the support 20 is positioned in the path of the roller 50 when the locking system moves from the locked position to the unlocked position and then to the ventilation position (in the figures, below the roller 50).It is understood, however, that the support 20 could be installed on the other side of the roller 50 according to the locking direction 2, that is, on the path traveled by the roller 50 when it moves from the ventilation position to the unlocking position and then back to the locking position. The support 20 would then be driven mechanically, in addition to by magnetic attraction, in the locking direction rather than the unlocking direction.

[0078] Advantageously, the system according to the invention allows this information to be communicated to a remote receiver. Typically, the magnetic sensor 30 includes a communication system capable of transmitting a signal containing information about the state of the locking and unlocking system to the remote receiver. The remote receiver can, for example, be a central unit receiving information about the state of the locking systems of various windows or French doors in a dwelling or building. This central unit is advantageously configured to relay this information to a computer application, for example, one available on a smartphone, allowing the user to determine the locking status of the sash, and possibly other sashes in the dwelling or building.The magnetic sensor can potentially send information directly to the information application, without going through a central unit.

[0079] It is conceivable that the information sent by the magnetic sensor 30 is either raw information (for example, information relating to a detected electromagnetic signal), which will then be analyzed by a remote computing system to obtain information on the state of the locking system, or processed information (for example, directly the information on the locking state).

[0080] Another aspect of the invention relates to a window equipped with a locking and unlocking system and a control system 1 as described above. It may also be a French window.

[0081] Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for installing the control system 1. This method comprises the following steps: a. fix the guide 40 on the opening 100 of the window, b. insert the magnetic sensor 30 or the magnet 31 into the housing 23 of the support 20, c. insert the second end 22 of the support 20 into the guide 40 and position the first end 21 of the support 20 opposite the locking roller 50, d. fix the magnetic sensor 30 or the magnet 31 on the opening 100 or the frame 200 of the window, depending on the element that has been inserted into the housing 23.

[0082] These steps can be carried out in any order.

[0083] Through the various embodiments described above, it is clear that the invention offers a universal, practical, and compact solution for controlling a window or French door locking system. The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and extends to all embodiments covered by the invention.
