Electro-mechanical lock core

An interchangeable lock core for use with a lock device having a locked state and an unlocked state, the lock device including an opening sized to receive the interchangeable lock core, the interchangeable lock core comprising:

• a lock core body having a front end and a rear end;
• a moveable plug positioned within an interior of the lock core body proximate the rear end of the lock core body, the moveable plug having a first position relative to the lock core body, which corresponds to the lock device being in the locked state, and a second position relative to the lock core body, which corresponds to the lock device being in the unlocked state, the moveable plug being rotatable between the first position and the second position about a moveable plug axis;
• a core keeper moveably coupled to the lock core body, the core keeper being positionable in a retain position, in which the core keeper extends beyond an envelope of the lock core body to hold the lock core body in the opening of the lock device, and a remove position, in which the core keeper is retracted towards the lock core body relative to the retain position;
• an operator actuatable assembly supported by the lock core body and including an operator actuatable input device positioned forward of the front end of the lock core body;
• and
• an electro-mechanical control system which, in a first configuration, operatively couples the operator actuatable input device to the moveable plug;
• in a second configuration, operatively couples the operator actuatable input device to the core keeper;
• and in a third configuration, uncouples the operator actuatable input device from both the moveable plug and the core keeper, the electro-mechanical control system including a motor and a control element driven by the motor to a first position relative to a front face of the moveable plug when the electro-mechanical control system is in the first configuration, to a second position relative to the front face of the moveable plug when the electro-mechanical control system is in the second configuration, and to a third position relative to the front face of the moveable plug when the electro-mechanical control system is in the third configuration, wherein the electro-mechanical control system includes a clutch driven by the motor between a disengaged position, a first engaged position, and a second engaged position, and wherein the motor is configured to generate motion along a motor axis, and further comprising a first pin segment and a second pin segment structured to translate in a direction transverse to the motor axis;
• and
• a control sleeve, wherein a first shearline is defined on a first side of the control sleeve and a second shear line is defined on a second side of the control sleeve, wherein when an interface between the first pin segment and the second pin segment is aligned with the first shearline, the moveable plug is configured to rotate relative to the control sleeve, and wherein when an interface between the first pin segment and the second pin segment is aligned with the second shearline, the moveable plug and the control sleeve are configured to rotate together.
