Abstract

The security system comprises a plurality of cylindrical locks that includes a motorized lock configured for local actuation by a mechanical key and/or for remote actuation by an electric signal. The cylindrical lock can operate in a variety of lock functions including classroom security and storeroom operations.

Claims (36)

1 . A motorized lock assembly, comprising:

an inside hub and locking pin assembly having an interior opening;

a sleeve and driver assembly operately coupled into the inside hub and locking pin assembly;

a motor assembly having a motor actuating mechanism;

a spindle operately connectedly affixed to the motor assembly;

a threaded plunger adapted to receive force from the spindle and configured to activate one or more lock assembly operations;

a coupling mechanism drivably coupled to the outer spindle;

a plurality of lever spring returns configured to return one or more levers to zero position after an operation;

a plurality of thrust plates configured to hold a plurality of sleeves are in position;

a chassis frame and retractor assembly having a bolt actuator mechanism configured to retract a latch bolt;

a key release for cam assembly configured to a keyed sleeve assembly and configured to rotate, and wherein the keyed sleeve assembly is operate connected to an outside lever and configured to allow lever rotation;

a spring plate for a keyed sleeve configured to translate bias force from the lever spring return to ensure one or more levers is returned to zero position after an operation; and

an outside hub assembly operately connected to an outside sleeve for threading onto a rose liner, wherein the rose liner can prevent chassis rotation.

2 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 further comprising an exterior operator configured to wirelessly operate the lock assembly.

3 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 further comprising an exterior operator configured to operate the lock assembly.

4 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , the motor assembly including a motor having a motor shaft, the motor shaft being drivably coupled to a locking spindle assembly to operate the coupling mechanism when the motor assembly is actuated, wherein the coupling mechanism includes spring guide pin operately connected to a lever compression spring and the threaded plunger including a plunger spring for translating a bias force to the key release cam assembly for pushing the locking lug into a plurality of positions.

5 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , the key release assembly for cam assembly including a key release cam for engaging retracting of the latch bolt, a locking lug operately coupled to a locking lug bushing and configured to engage a locking cam function for securing into a mechanically locked state, and a cam spring configured to translate a bias force to the locking lug bushing to return one or more locked states.

6 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , the chassis frame and retractor assembly including a chassis operately connected to the key release cam assembly and configured to retract a latch bolt.

7 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , wherein a wire having a connector disposed onto at least one end is communicatively connected to the motor assembly, the wire configured to transfer electrical signal to the key release cam assembly.

8 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wire configured to transfer electrical signal to operate locking and unlocking of the latch bolt.

9 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of screws operately coupled to the chassis frame and retractor assembly to hold a plurality of chassis components together.

10 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , the inside hub and locking pin assembly operately connected to a sleeve and driver assembly configured to contain the motor, and the sleeve and driver assembly configured to mount the interior operator handle in driving engagement for driving the outer spindle.

11 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 , the outside hub assembly including a housing configured to contain the motor, the housing having an exterior shape that corresponds to an interior shape of the mounting opening of the interior operator handle for mounting the interior operator handle in driving engagement for driving the outer spindle.

12 . The motorized lock assembly of claim 1 wherein at least one motorized lock assembly can be battery powered and configured for local actuation by a mechanical key and for remote actuation by an electric signal.

13 . A lock control system, comprising:

a key unit comprising an antenna and a transmitter configured to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal over the antenna; and

a plurality of lock units configured to accept one or more commands, each lock unit comprising:

a lock assembly having a motor assembly, a key release assembly, and a chassis assembly, the lock assembly configured to operate a latch bolt in a plurality of positions;

an antenna for receiving the RF signal from the key unit; and

a reader coupled to the antenna for receiving the RF signal from the key unit, authenticating whether the key unit is authorized, and if the key unit is authenticated, granting access to a secured resource;

a circuit board configured to transmit the RF signal to one or more assemblies in the lock assembly; and

wherein at least one of the lock units is configured to respond to RF signals and operate a latch bolt in an one of an unlocked or locked position.

14 . The lock control system of claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of communicators configured to wirelessly communicate with the one or more lock assemblies, the plurality of communicators providing one or more commands to the lock assemblies.

15 . The lock control system of claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of communicators configured to extend wireless communication with one or more lock assemblies.

16 . The lock control system of claim 15 , wherein a central host including a database of authentication information, the central host being configured to receive updated authentication information and to communicate the updated authentication information to the plurality of communicators.

17 . The lock control system of claim 13 , wherein a central host including a database of authentication information, the central host being configured to receive updated authentication information and to communicate the updated authentication information to the each of the plurality of lock assemblies configured to accept one or more commands.
