The invention relates to a locking arrangement for a towed transport vehicle according to the preamble of the independent claim to it. Today, trailers are mostly rented in the so-called in connection with stone shops or service stations. An employee is required to hand over and return the rented trailer, who: -verifies the identity of the renter, -consents the lease agreement and finds out the terms of the lease, -receives the unlocking of the trailer, its locking, and - checks the condition of the trailer, most importantly the operation of the lights, which is practically cumbersome without power supply. Therefore, due to its traditional nature, the above-mentioned rental activities require staff to handle them. The purpose of the locking arrangement of the towed vehicle according to the present invention is to provide a decisive improvement over the above problems and thus to substantially increase the state of the art. To achieve this purpose, the = locking arrangement according to the invention is mainly characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of independent claim 3 according to it. OF
The most important advantages of the locking system of the towed vehicle according to the invention are in particular the simplicity and reliability of the constructions and equipment suitable for its implementation, whereby it is possible to significantly facilitate e.g. the location is constantly known. In this case, it is possible to carry out rental activities in any place suitable for the purpose, eg regardless of the time and day of the week. In addition, the remote locking arrangement enables the dynamic pricing used in trailer rental, for example in the sale of airline tickets, which improves the profitability of the rental business and the utilization rate of the rental equipment. Still the so-called. e-commerce data also makes it easy to detect fluctuations in demand. In this case, it is also possible to offer lower rental prices during periods of lower demand (low price image), which in turn makes it possible to keep the rental price higher during periods of better demand because there is not enough capacity on the market. Other preferred embodiments of the invention are set out in the dependent claims for the locking arrangement of the towed vehicle according to the invention. S

With particular reference to the preferred embodiment shown in Figures 1a to 1c, the mechanical locking members x1 comprise a locking member x1 'operatively connected to the electric locking members x2 and arranged to move in the longitudinal direction p 1 for restricting the movement of the handle 1a and the second members x1'b for closing its coupling seat 1b =.
= a S 30 As an alternative to the above, with particular reference to the preferred embodiments D shown in Figures 2a to 2c and 3a to 3c, the mechanical locking members x1 comprise a function operatively connected to the electronic locking members X2,
for closing / opening the coupling seat 1b of the locking part x1 / ”arranged to move in a substantially horizontal direction about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. In addition to the application according to Figures 3a to 3c, an operating lever K is provided to facilitate the movement of the locking plate x1 '”. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the electric locking members x2 are arranged in a housing structure O which is permanently connected to a towed transport means, such as its drawbar V, which is further preferably made of a substantially rigid plastic, composite, metal, light metal material and and / or the like. The housing structure is fastened to the drawbar V as shown in Figures 1a-1c and 3a-3c by means of a fastening arm or as shown in Figures 2a-2c by screw locking and / or gluing. When using a metal housing structure and a drawbar, it is of course also possible to fasten the housing structure by welding.
The locking arrangement according to the invention is particularly suitable, for example, for the commercial rental of trailers, which makes it easy to automate thanks to the invention. In the following, the above-mentioned operation when using the locking arrangement according to the invention is briefly explained.
N S USE OF THE LOCKING ARRANGEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INVENTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE'S VIEWS OF THE LESSEE j & 30 In connection with the online store purchase, the customer verifies the identity 2, the lease agreement and the payment. The customer buys the rental product they want, such as a trailer online store, and receives a code via SMS and e-mail to unlock it. The code is used by the customer throughout the rental period, ie he can lock and unlock the trailer several times during his rental. By the end of the rental period, he returns the trailer to the place of departure and locks it with the code he received. USE OF THE LOCKING ARRANGEMENT FROM THE LESSOR'S PERSPECTIVE
SOTTUNA A number code is sold to the renter to give him access to the trailer and to lock the trailer ball after use. The code is always different for each rental. The online store generates a code, which is transmitted to the lock module of the trailer, e.g. via a mobile phone system, such as a bg, 4g or gsm connection, whereby the locating device in the lock module tells the online store where the trailer is located. Once the rental period has been used and the cart has been returned to the correct location and locked, the customer's rental is recorded as completed. If the trailer is not returned at the agreed time, the online store will charge the customer for the additional costs in accordance with the agreement, eg with a margin reservation, etc. way. When the lock module is connected to the electrical system of the trailer, it is possible, for example, to identify broken lights, so that it can therefore notify the general store operator of them. In this case, it is sufficient for the rental station N to have the inspector inspect the returned trailers 3 and their tires superficially, e.g. daily. = With the help of the locating device, the landlord knows how long the total distance N of the trailer has been towed. This enables proactive monitoring of equipment maintenance and the need for renewal. N 30 In addition, in some situations it is possible to use pricing based on distance N or to charge 1 extra for long journeys; for example, large boat trailers and car trailers are often also rented for the purchase and retrieval of a boat or car, which can result in up to several hundred kilometers per day.
It is clear that the invention is not limited to the applications presented or described above, but can be considerably modified both in appearance and properties when used in connection with a wide variety of means of transport.
Thus, it is clear, first of all, that the components included in the locking arrangement can be made of the widest possible range of materials, using the widest possible range of manufacturing techniques.
By way of derogation from the accompanying drawings, it is possible, for example, to arrange the locking arrangement integrally with the drawbar of the towed means of transport, e.g.
In mechanical locking, it is possible to utilize, for example, a hole in the towball and a pin connected to it, in contrast to the locking mechanisms described above.
Furthermore, in the use / management of the locking arrangement, it is possible to use any wireless data transmission technology, such as wifi, bluetooth, nfc technology, etc.
On the other hand, the locking arrangement can be implemented simpler than described above, e.g. electrically without a battery.
On the other hand, in addition to the electric locking members, it is also possible to equip the locking arrangement with manually operated locks z or to implement the movement of the mechanical locking members with auxiliary forces, such as, for example, a pressure medium or an electric motor. The N code or, for example, a separate opening / closing function is given via the N keypad or the application on the mobile phone.
