Actuating device for a motor-vehicle electric lock having a spring accumulator

The aim of the invention is to be able to open a locking mechanism (1, 3) of an electrically actuated lock of a motor vehicle with sufficiently large force, without having to provide an excessively large electric motor (14) and/or an excessively large gearing transmission ratio for this purpose. In order to achieve the aim, an actuating device for opening the locking mechanism (1, 3) comprises a releasing mechanism (9, 11, 12, 13, 14), by means of which a locking mechanism (1, 3) can be opened by actuation of the actuating device. The actuating device comprises a preloaded spring (16, 38, 42), which, by relaxing, is able to open an associated locking mechanism or at least contributes to the ability to open an associated locking mechanism. A release device is provided, which can release the preloaded spring. If the preloaded spring is released, the spring relaxes and thus contributes to the ability of an associated locking mechanism to open by means of the spring force. Thus, a force or at least an additional force is provided by the spring, by means of which force a blocking lever of the locking mechanism is then moved out of the blocking position or a pawl (3) is then moved out of the locking position thereof. The actuating device is intended above all for extreme cases that rarely occur, such an accident in which the lock is deformed and thus the lock cannot be opened by means of typical force. If an extreme case nevertheless arises, an electrical drive (28) releases the preloaded spring, which then enables opening by means of increased force.

Dead bolt combination lock and push-pull lock, each with integrated re-locking features, lock with auxiliary security features, and lock keypad with tamper detection and response features

A dead bolt lock automatically blocks the extended bolt to prevent externally-applied force from thrusting the bolt back into the lock case, and in the event of physical attack the lock responds by prolonging or perpetuating the dead bolt blocking condition. A push-pull lock has a bolt whose motion in both directions is stopped in response to detection of a rise in motor current above a certain level: a cushioning arrangement allows the current-limiting feature to be implemented without risk of damage to the motor, gear teeth or other drive components. A re-locker arrangement includes an angled flange that is part of a motor-supporting bracket; when forcibly pressed, the flange breaks plastic pins to release a spring-biased re-locker wire to block the bolt from being withdrawn, and when the wire is in the dead bolting position an extension of the re-locker wire engages a ridge in the lock's case to prevent the re-locker from being manipulated back to its original position. Either lock can control the position of a bolt works blocking element that selectively engages a lever-driven mechanism that blocks and unblocks the door from being opened. A sensor switch, especially for use on the push-pull lock, tells the lock when the mechanism is in a secured position, so that the lock is automatically re-locked and the user does not have to manually extend the bolt. Finally, the system has a keypad tampering detection and response system, remote enable/disable unit, duress detection and response unit, low-battery sensing arrangement, bolt extension indication feature, adjustable bolt throw feature, and audit trail feature.
