Medical products storage device including access control
An apparatus and method for storing medical products such as pharmaceutical and medical products in climate controlled storage devices includes climate control systems in communication with inventory access and tracking systems.
Intelligent Cabinet System and Locking Mechanism Therefor
A locking mechanism is applicable to an intelligent cabinet system having a first object and a second object movable relative to each other. The second object is configured to be located at one of a retracted position, a predetermined extension position and an open position. The locking mechanism includes a locking member and a driving device. The driving device is configured to drive the locking member to move from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position. When the second object is moved relative to the first object from the retracted position along a direction and when the locking member is located at the second predetermined position, the locking member is configured to block the second object at the predetermined extension position. The predetermined extension position is located between the retracted position and the open position.
MEDICAL PRODUCTS STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING ACCESS CONTROL
An apparatus and method for storing medical products such as pharmaceutical and medical products in climate controlled storage devices includes climate control systems in communication with inventory access and tracking systems.
Locking and unlocking tool boxes and tool cabinets
A tool box or tool cabinet (hereafter: “tool box”) is provided with a locking mechanism having a locked condition in which it prevents access to tools within the tool box, and an unlocked condition in which it allows access to tools within the tool box. An electric motor has a rotor, and is provided with a microprocessor and control circuit, coupled to the motor for controlling it. The microprocessor is adapted to receive Bluetooth signals when paired to a user's portable Bluetooth-enabled mobile device, The microprocessor and control circuit are effective, when the user's portable Bluetooth-enabled mobile device is sufficiently close to the control circuit to be detected, to energise the motor to rotate the rotor in a first sense, effective to disable the locking mechanism to allow access to the tools.
SECONDARY BLOCKING MECHANISM FOR A LOCK SYSTEM INCLUDING A SOLENOID
A lock system for an enclosure comprises a locking mechanism selectively disposed in a locked or unlocked position. A first blocking pin prevents the locking mechanism from being moved to the unlocked position when disposed in a first blocking position via a first biasing mechanism. A solenoid mechanism imposes a force on the first blocking pin when in an energized state so that the first blocking pin is placed in an unblocking position. A second magnetizable blocking pin remains in contact with the first blocking pin when the solenoid mechanism is in an unenergized state. A second biasing mechanism biases the second blocking pin toward an unblocking position. During normal operation, the secondary biasing mechanism maintains the second blocking pin in its unblocking position so that the second blocking pin is separated from the first blocking pin when the solenoid mechanism is in the energized state.
Electronic Lock Cylinder
An electronic lock cylinder contains: a receiving sleeve, a lock head, a fastener, a rotation element, a rotatable actuation element, a driven element, a drive motor, a resilient element, an operation element, a locking element, and a locating cap. Thereby, the drive motor moves clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the rotary column to rotate 90 degrees and to simultaneously actuate the driven element, the drive motor, the resilient element, and the engagement projection of the operation element to move forward or backward to rotate or rotate idly in the notch of the locking element, thus saving energy and obtaining environmental protection.
CLOSURE LATCH ASSEMBLY WITH POWER RESET CIRCUIT MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR RESET
The present disclosure relates to a closure latch assembly for a vehicle door, and more particularly to a closure latch assembly for a vehicle door equipped with a powered reset feature. To this end, the present disclosure relates to the use of a power actuator to actuate an actuatable mechanism in a power-on state, and an electronic reset circuit mechanism to reset the actuatable mechanism when the power actuator is in a power-off state. The electronic reset circuit mechanism is coupled to an electric motor associated with the power actuator.
Electronic lock and light colour control method for same
Disclosed are an electronic lock (100) and a light colour control method for the electronic lock (100). The electronic lock (100) comprises a lock body (1), a lock hook (2), at least two shifting beads (3), a lock shifter (4), a motor (5), a motor actuator (6), and an elastic member (7), wherein the shifting beads (3), the lock shifter (4), the motor (5) and the motor actuator (6) are mounted in the lock body (1), the motor actuator (6) is mounted on the motor (5) and interlinked with the lock shifter (4), the lock hook (2) is mounted on the lock body (1) and is able to move with respect to the lock body (1), the shifting beads (3) cooperate with the lock hook (2) such that the electronic lock (100) is transformable between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the elastic member (7) is mounted in the lock body (1) and exerts an acting force on the shifting beads (3) in opposite directions towards the lock hook (2) so that the shifting beads (3) do not exert any acting force on the lock shifter (4) during a progress of unlocking and locking. In the electronic lock (100), the shifting beads (3) do not exert any acting three on the motor (5) during a progress of unlocking and locking, and the motor (5) is in an unloaded state, thereby lowering demand for power supply and for the voltage and power of the motor (5), reducing energy loss and prolonging the service life of the electronic lock.
Motorized latch retraction with return boost
An exemplary electronic actuator assembly is configured for use with a pushbar assembly having a drive assembly operable to retract a latchbolt, and includes an input shaft, a motor, and a boost spring. The motor has a retracting state in which the motor drives the input shaft from a proximal position to a distal position, a holding state in which the motor exerts a holding force to retain the input shaft in the distal position, and a releasing state in which the motor exerts a residual force that resists movement of the input shaft. The boost spring exerts a boost force urging the input shaft in the proximal direction to at least partially counteract the residual force.
ELECTRONIC LOCK
An electronic lock for securing a door or access panel. The electronic lock includes a housing and a plunger that is moveably mounted to the housing between a latched position of the electronic lock and an unlatched position of the electronic lock. A rotator is rotatably mounted to the housing between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position of the rotator, the plunger is prevented from moving to the unlatched position, and, in the unlocked position of the rotator, the plunger is permitted to move to the unlatched position. A motor has an output shaft that is configured to rotate the rotator between the locked position and the unlocked position. A spring is configured to resist movement of the output shaft between the locked position and the unlocked position.
