Described herein is a lock actuation assembly for actuating a state change of a lock of a door via a lock actuator extending from a panel of the door, comprising: a motor for driving the actuation; a body having a mounting portion for attaching the lock actuation assembly to the door; a coupler held by the body for coupling a force from the motor to the lock actuator to change the lock's state; a wireless communication module for receiving in, an electromagnetic signal, a first command for changing the state of the lock; a turnable piece on the body for generating a second command for changing the state of the lock; and a controller adapted to control the motor to change the state of the lock based on either one of the first command or the second command.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING DEVICE, LOCKING/UNLOCKING METHOD, AND LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM

Provided is a locking/unlocking device that accurately detects an opening/closing state of an opening/closing device and optimizes timing to lock or unlock.

The locking/unlocking device includes a drive unit that drives a lock mechanism of the opening/closing device, a magnetic detection unit that detects a change in a magnetic field based on a change in the relative position between a movable section and a fixed section of the opening/closing device, and a control unit that determines an open/closed state of the opening/closing device on the basis of the change in the magnetic field detected by the magnetic detection unit and activates the drive unit to lock or unlock the lock mechanism on the basis of the open/closed state.

ELECTRIC DRIVE MECHANISM FOR OPERATING A LOCK
20210230905 · 2021-07-29 ·

This invention describes an electric drive mechanism (120) for translating a blocking member (126) to secure or release a lock. The lock is configured as a latch lock (100), a slide bolt padlock (200), a U-shackle padlock (300) or a snap padlock (400). The blocking member (126) is supported by two or more steel balls (130) disposed in helical grooves formed on a helical member (124) to provide a self-centering and low friction drive mechanism (120), which allows an electric motor (122) connected to the helical member to be small and of low power. Unobstructed movement of the blocking member (126) is provided by an alignment or detent mechanism (160, 217, 317) or torsion spring in the snap padlock (400). An electronic control board (140) allows electronic operation of the lock via an application in a smartphone. A PCB (121) located near the electric motor provides tamper-proofing.

Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) Electronic Cylinder and Method
20210301558 · 2021-09-30 ·

A lock module comprises a cylinder including a control latch configured to mechanically rotate between an extended position to prevent removal of the cylinder from a lock assembly, and a retracted position to allow removal of the cylinder from the lock assembly. A rotator is configured to enable the control latch to rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position. An actuation rod is configured to travel between a tab-blocking position maintaining the control latch in the extended position, and a retracted position allowing the control latch to retract into a retracted position. A control pin is configured to restrict the travel of the actuation rod in a control pin-blocking position in response to the rotator being rotated to a locked position and to retract from blocking the travel of the actuation rod to the control pin-unblocking position in response to the rotator being rotated to an unlocked position.
