    [0002] COVER FOR ELECTRONIC PADLOCK WITH KNOB
    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0005] The object of the present invention is a cover for an electronic padlock with a knob whose configuration and design provide the padlock with an optimal protection against shocks, an improvement in the sealing of the assembly, a protection against solid elements in suspension (sand, contamination, ...) and better ergonomics.
    [0007] TECHNICAL PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0008] Currently, the most used electronic locks are of two types.
    [0010] On the one hand, there is the electronic padlock without a knob that has the electronics inside the padlock, so at first glance the padlock is the same as a mechanical padlock without electronics. These padlocks require a key that is inserted into a hole in the padlock and through contact between the pins of the key and the receptors in the hole, the electronics are activated and the padlock is opened.
    [0012] On the other hand, there are electronic padlocks with a knob, these are mechanical padlocks that, instead of having a cylinder lock, a cylinder with an electronic knob is inserted in the housing enabled for said lock.
    [0014] These electronic knob locks have two types of problems. On the one hand, the reader cover is very fragile and tends to break easily, especially if the padlock falls to the ground, since it is usually made of plastic to facilitate reading through the opening device (a card or a mobile phone). In fact, these padlocks are subjected to breaking tests by dropping them onto a concrete floor from a certain height and the results obtained show that they currently withstand a very low number of falls, making it very difficult to exceed the regulations in this regard.
    [0016] On the other hand, electronic padlocks have a problem of tightness and resistance to inclement weather.
    [0017] The usual application of this type of padlocks is to protect areas that are in the open, such as, for example, access to electrical substations located in the mountains, access to outdoor areas where fuel tanks are located, closures on truck trailers, etc. . In these applications, the padlock is found in hostile environments subjected to shocks, vibrations, abrasive elements in suspension (sand), contamination, saltpeter, ...
    [0019] To solve these problems, solutions based on improving the seal between the knob and the lock body are currently known in the state of the art, although these models are not usually resistant to shocks.
    [0021] Other solutions focus on protecting the knob from shocks without losing the point about sealing, although they present ergonomic problems and are not usually very practical solutions. An example is one in which the knob is inserted into a projection that incorporates the cover, sticking out through a window, making it difficult to turn the knob. If we add to this the fact that gloves have to be used, for example, because they are in adverse weather conditions, their use is very restricted.
    [0023] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0024] In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention describes an integral electronic padlock cover with a knob. The padlock comprises a rotor assembly made up of an electronic cylinder joined in continuity to an electronic knob, a body where the electronic cylinder is housed and a lock ring. The knob has a cylindrical configuration and a cross-section that can be oval, circular or have any other shape and the base of the knob is a reading base for opening the padlock.
    [0026] The case is mainly made up of a protective body shell and a protective knob shell.
    [0028] The protective casing of the body is intended to receive the body of the padlock at one end comprising fixing elements and the other end of which includes a pair of holes for the movement of both ends of the padlock ring.
    [0029] For its part, the protective casing of the knob includes a space for housing the knob and is attached to the body of the padlock through an intermediate support.
    [0031] In one embodiment, the protective casing of the knob is formed by a head solidly attached to a socket by means of which the securing of the protective casing of the knob to the body of the padlock is carried out.
    [0033] In this case, for a correct accommodation of the knob in the protective casing of the knob, the head space has the same cross section as the knob, that is, oval or circular. Thus, when turning the protective casing of the knob to open the padlock, if the section is oval, the protective casing of the knob drags the knob. On the other hand, if the section is circular, the protective casing of the knob and the knob must incorporate a tongue and groove configuration fixing so that the drag of the knob when rotating the protective casing of the knob is carried out by means of this fixing.
    [0035] The support is of annular configuration and comprises two slots and an extension, centered on each slot, which includes a pair of first holes for the introduction of two screws for fixing the support to the body of the padlock.
    [0037] The cap incorporates two tabs located in correspondence with the grooves that, after being inserted into them and turning the cap slightly, allow the insertion of a locking screw through a second hole in one of the extensions and thus prevent the tabs from coming out. .
    [0039] The cover preferably incorporates a return spring with the ends terminated in pins for support on two projections located on the support and on the protective casing of the knob, respectively, so that, when turning the protective casing of the knob to open the padlock, the spring subsequently returns it to its initial position.
    [0041] The head is preferably made of flexible material to improve shock absorption and may include rigid material inserts to provide dimensional stability and rigidity to the knob.
    [0042] In addition, the free end of the head can incorporate a closing cap. On the other hand, to facilitate the rotation of the knob, the head can incorporate a pair of fins.

    [0076] DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    [0077] The object of the present description is a cover for an electronic padlock with a knob whose configuration and design provide the padlock with optimal protection against shocks, an improvement in the sealing of the assembly and protection against inclement weather and better ergonomics.
    [0079] The electronic lock is basically formed by a lock body (8) from which a lock ring (18) comes out on one side and a rotor assembly on the other side. The rotor assembly, in turn, is formed by an electronic cylinder (7), which is inserted in the body of the padlock (8), joined in continuity to an electronic knob (6), which protrudes from the body (8) and is where are the reading elements for opening the padlock.
    [0081] The sheath object of the invention comprises a protective casing for the body (9) and a protective casing for the knob (1).
    [0083] The protective casing of the body (9) is open at one end that houses the body of the padlock (8), the knob (6) remaining outside the protective casing of the body (9). The other end of the body protective casing (9) includes a pair of holes through which the ends of the ring (18) travel.
    [0084] The protective casing of the knob (1) houses the knob (6) and is fixed to the body of the padlock (8) by means of a support (5), leaving the electronic padlock sheathed between the protective casing of the body (9) and the protective casing of the knob (1).
    [0086] As for the fixing of the cover of the invention to the padlock, it is carried out as described below.
    [0088] On the one hand, the body of the padlock (8) is housed inside the protective casing of the body (9), which incorporates fixing elements at the end to retain it tightly and without gaps by elastic deformation. This fixing element has not been represented in the figures as it may be of any type known in the state of the art. The ring (18) comes out through holes at the other end.
    [0090] It should be noted that the inside of the padlock, including both the ring fixing system (18), as well as the inside of the electronic cylinder (7) and the electronic knob (6), have not been represented as they are not a relevant part for the invention and form part of the state of the art.
    [0092] As shown in figure 5, the support (5) is a piece of annular configuration that internally comprises a pair of grooves (10), located diametrically opposite. Externally, centered with each of the slots (10), there is an extension (11) that comprises a pair of first holes (12) for the insertion of screws (13) destined to be fixed in the body of the padlock (8) and thus join the support (5) to the body (8).
    [0094] In a preferred embodiment, the protective casing of the knob (1) is configured by means of a head (2) that incorporates a through space, that incorporates a bushing (3) with a diameter slightly greater than the space. The bushing (3) incorporates a pair of flanges (16) that extend outwards. The space is intended to house the knob (6), where it is located.
    [0096] To be able to use the padlock in situations with different degrees of protection, the padlock can incorporate a cover that closes the opening of the head (2) and thus provide airtightness to the cover, preventing impurities from entering the interior. The fact that this end is not closed is to improve the reading when opening the padlock. and to be able to carry out an adequate electronic reading.
    [0098] One of the extensions (11) incorporates a second hole (14), through centered on the extension (11) and coinciding with the corresponding slot (10), intended to house a locking screw (15).
    [0100] To fix the support (5) to the protective casing of the knob (1), the tabs (16) are inserted into the slots (10) and turned slightly so that the tabs (16) release the slots (10), This allows the locking screw (15) to be positioned in the second hole (14) and thus lodged in the slot (10), preventing the protective casing of the knob (1) from disengaging from the support (5).
    [0102] As they are electronic padlocks, the way to open them is by presenting a key, consisting of a card, a mobile phone or similar and the subsequent turning of the protective casing of the knob (1) and therefore of the knob (6).
    [0104] Without key or without the correct key, the protective housing of the knob (1) can rotate freely around the bracket (5) without opening the padlock. However, when presenting the correct key, when turning the knob (6), it acts on the electronic cylinder (7) and meshes with the lock opening mechanism, opening the lock.
    [0106] To achieve the drag of the knob (6) through the protective casing of the knob (1), it must be taken into account that, in the event that the knob (6) is of a section other than circular, the head itself (2 ) is responsible for dragging it in its rotation movement. However, if the knob (6) is circular in section, the head (2) is also circular and, in order to have a drag, there must be a fixing with a tongue-and-groove configuration to carry it out. In this case, the head (2) incorporates a projection that fits into a groove located in the knob (6), although the tongue and groove configuration can also be located in the opposite way. This fixing has not been represented in the figures since it may be any fixing of those known in the state of the art.
    [0108] To return the protective casing of the knob (1) to its initial position, once the padlock has been opened, between the protective casing of the knob (1) and the support (5) there is a return spring (4) located in the innermost part of the bushing (3), for what it has cylindrical shape ending its ends in separate pins. One of the pins is in contact with a projection that incorporates the protective casing of the knob (1) while the other leg contacts a projection for dragging the spring (19) that incorporates the support (5), abutting between both projections . To avoid play, the return spring (4) is positioned between these two projections with a preload. Thus, an initial position is forced between the protective casing of the knob (1) and the support (5). In this way, when the knob protective casing (1) is rotated, it displaces the corresponding pin of the return spring (4), loading the spring and, by releasing the knob protective casing (1), the return spring ( 4) to return the knob protective housing (1) to its initial position.
    [0110] To facilitate the turning of the protective casing of the knob (1), the head (2) preferably incorporates a pair of fins (17) by means of which it is provided with greater ergonomics for the rotational movement of the protective casing of the knob (1 ) and, therefore, the opening of the padlock.
    [0112] On the other hand, to improve the shock absorption of the cover of the invention, the head (2) of the protective casing of the knob (1) is preferably made of a flexible material so that, without losing the protective casing of the knob ( 1) the rigidity properties required by the mechanical part, formed by the bushing (3) and its components, the head (2), as a part exposed to the outside, has a great capacity to absorb the blows produced, especially by the possible falls. Likewise, the head (2) can incorporate rigid material inserts that provide dimensional stability and increase impact resistance. In addition, it must be considered that the knob (6) is not in contact with the protective casing of the knob (1), there is a gap, which provides additional security against breakage due to blows. The head (2) is over-injected on the bushing (3)
    [0114] To achieve continuity between the protective casing of the knob (1) and the protective casing of the body, the protective casing of the body (9) incorporates a flare that configures a circular geometry to adapt to the configuration of the protective casing of the knob ( 1). To increase protection, there is a tongue and groove overlap between both pieces that makes it difficult for impurities (sand, dust, etc.) and even water to enter.
    [0116] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention should not be limited to the embodiment here described. Other configurations can be made by those skilled in the art in light of the present description. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims.
