Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to electromechanical key and lock devices and more particularly to an electro-mechanical cylinder lock-key combination using an optical code, such as a holographic code or a bar code provided on the key.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a key and lock device of the kind initially mentioned, wherein a high degree of security is obtained while the space requirements are kept to a minimum.
- the invention is based on the realisation that the movement of at least one of the blocking elements conventionally found in a mechanical lock can be prevented by the provision of an optical code element on the key.
- the optical code element is provided in the form of a hologram. This provides for a very high level of security thanks to the huge amount of possible codes and the difficulty in copying the key.
- a reflective bar code is provided as optical code on the key.
- fig. 1 is an overall perspective view of a key and lock device according to the invention
- fig. 2 is a perspective view of a key according to the invention.

- fig. 12 is a perspective view of an alternative key according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 an overall perspective view of an electro mechanical cylinder lock-key combination 1 according to the invention is shown.
- the combination comprises a generally cylindrical cylinder housing 10 and a key 20 inserted into a key-way of a cylinder core 30 rotatably provided in the cylinder housing.
- a campiece 12 is actuated so as to act on a follower of a lock device.
- the cylinder housing 10 has the same general shape as conventional cylinder housings and the lock cylinder according to the invention can thus replace already installed all-mechanical lock cylinders.
- the key 20 is shown in its entirety in fig. 2. It has a conventional shape and comprises a grip portion 22 and a bit portion 24.
- the bit portion has an upper code surface 26 arranged to cooperate with tumbler pins provided in the lock cylinder.
- an elongated holographic image or hologram 28 having a surface being essentially flush with the side surface of the bit portion so as not to interfere with the inser- tion of the key into the cylinder core 30.
- the hologram functions as an additional code and a key must thus have both a correct mechanical code, i.e., code surface 26, and optical code, i.e., hologram 28. This adds a further level of security as compared to an all-mechanical lock.
- a top sectional view of the lock cylinder is shown in fig. 3, wherein it is seen how the elongated cylinder core 30 is provided in the cylinder housing 10.
- a key- way 32 is provided centrally in the cylinder core so as to receive the key 20.
- Centrally aligned in the cylinder core are also six pin tumbler chambers 34-39, wherein the five front chambers 34-38 each contains conventional pin tumblers acting as blocking elements when a key having incorrect mechanical code is inserted in the cylinder.
- An example of pin tumbler is given in fig. 3a, showing a top pin 34a and a bottom pin 34b.
- the inner pin tumbler chamber 39 contains a conventional top pin 39a and a special kind of bottom pin, designated 39b in fig. 3b.
- This pin is provided with a circumferential waist or indent 39b' arranged to receive an outer portion of a pin-blocking element 40 provided at the outer end of a piezo-electric bender 42.
- This bender is arranged to move the pin blocking element 40 into and out of engagement with the waist portion 39b' of the special pin 39b. This function will be further explained below.
- the inner end of the piezo-electric bender 42 is fixed so as to make the outer end move when current flows through the piezo-electric bender.
- the inner pin tumbler as electronically con- trolled blocking element, several advantages are obtained. Firstly, the time from when the key 20 enters the cylinder core 30 to when it contacts the inner pin tumbler is long enough for the electronics to process the information in the optical code and control the pin tumbler 39a, 39b accordingly. Secondly, the piezoelectric bender 42 can be made long enough so as to displace the pin-blocking element 40 out of engagement with the special pin tumbler.
- the electrical operation of the lock cylinder is con- trolled by means of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) 44.
- ASIC application specific integrated circuit
- This ASIC is electrically connected to an optical unit comprising a laser diode 46 and an array of opto-electronic sensors 48 for recording an incoming laser beam.
- This will be fully described below with reference to fig. 4.
- a striking pin or "hammer” 50 running in a cylindrical cavity 52 in the cylinder core 30.
- the hammer is provided with a finger 54 arranged to cooperate with the tip of the key 20 during insertion thereof and is spring-biased towards the front end of the cylinder core 30 by means of a helical spring 56.
- An electric capacitor 58 is connected to the electrical power consuming components of the lock cylinder and is provided for storing electric energy by these components.
- a piezo-electric generator 60 in the cavity 52.
- the generator comprises piezo-electric ceramic, i.e., a material made of crys- talline substance, which creates charges of electricity by the application of pressure and vice versa.
- the generator functions in the following way. In its resting position shown in fig. 3, the hammer 50 is pressed against the generator 60 by means of the force exerted by the helical spring 56. When the hammer is moved from this position by the key tip, se fig. 4, this force is removed and the generator 60 thus produces a weak electric current, which is supplied to the ASIC 44 and the laser diode 46.
- the current thus functions as a "wake up signal" for the ASIC, which is essentially powered by the capacitor 58.
- the helical spring 56 can be given a characteristics adapted to provide defined force on the hammer.
- fig. 4 there is shown how the key is inserted into the key-way.
- the hammer 50 is moved from its resting position shown in fig. 3 when the tip of the key bit reaches the finger 54 thereof.
- the electric energy thus created by the generator 60 is directed to the ASIC 44, thereby making it operative.
- the laser diode 46 is then controlled by the ASIC to emit a laser beam in the direction of the side of the key bit provided with the hologram containing the holographic code.
- the hologram breaks up this laser beam in between 1 and 32 sub-beams and these are reflected onto the opto-electronic sensors 48 in dependence of the holographic code.
- the 32 bit optical code contained in the hologram is recorded by the sensors 48 and this code is transmitted to the ASIC 44.
- the correct optical code of the cylinder is stored in the ASIC. This correct code is compared with the code recorded by the sensors 48 and if they are identical, then the laser diode 46 is switched off and the pin- blocking element 40 is moved to a non-blocking position, as will be explained below. If the codes differ from each other, the laser diode is still switched off but the pin-blocking element 40 is left in blocking position.
- the ASIC connects the generator 60 and the piezo-electric bender 40.
- the generator When the hammer is released and hits the piezo-electric generator, the generator generates a voltage, which is directed across the piezoelectric bender 42.
- the generator 60 and the bender 42 thereby form a matched electrical circuit, providing a reliable actuator.
- the voltage across the piezo-electric bender makes it bend and thereby moves the pin blocking element 40 out of engagement with the special blocking pin 39b. With the pin blocking element in this position, the pins 39a, 39b function as the ordinary pins 34a,b — 38a,b.
- the tip of the key 20 pushes the pins 39a,b upward, see fig.
- the pin blocking element remains in engagement with the special pin 39b and the special pin tumbler 39a,b is stuck in position, see fig. 11. This in turn prevents the key 20 from being fully inserted into the cylinder core and it can only be inserted to the position shown in fig. 9 and 9b.
- the pin-blocking element 40 is shown in detail in fig. 11 in the position wherein a user of a key having incorrect optical code tries to push the key to its fully in- serted position.
- the pin-blocking element is attached to the piezo-electric bender 42 through an aperture therethrough and is provided with a tapering flange 40a in the direction of the pin 39b. Its outer portion ends in a tip 40b dimensioned so as to fit into the waist potion 39b' of the special pin 39b.
- the pin-blocking element 40 is normally kept level by means of the spring force provided by a helical spring 40c.
- the inventive lock cylinder is provided with a special blocking pin tumbler arranged to be released by a piezo-electric bender upon detection of a correct optical code.
- the piezo-electric bender could of course be replaced by another kind of actuator, such as a solenoid etc.
- the battery found in many electro-magnetic locks is dispensed with.
- the inventive idea is also applicable to a lock having an internal battery or being externally powered.
- the inner pin tumbler is used as the electronically blocked element.
- other pin tumblers can be blocked either in addition to or instead of the inner pin tumbler.
- the electronic lock mechanism has been shown controlled by means of an ASIC. Any micro controller or other processing unit can of course be used for that purpose.
