Abstract
An electromechanical door lock actuation device with an actuator module is mounted on a metal profile of a glass door such that the actuator module is offset from the door lock in order for the actuator module to not block opening of the door.
Claims14
A door comprising a glass panel surrounded by metal profiles, the door being hinged in a surrounding frame for forming a hinged door by the glass panel in combination with the metal profiles, wherein the metal profiles surrounding the glass panel comprise a vertical stile profile in which a door lock is provided, the door lock comprising a lock bolt for locking the door to the frame, wherein the lock bolt is actuated by a cam of a lock insert inside the vertical stile profile;
- wherein an electromechanical door lock actuation device is mounted to the surface of the vertical stile profile;
- wherein the electromechanical door lock actuation device comprises:
- a connector module comprising a cover plate and containing a rotational connector-receiver under the cover plate, wherein the connector-receiver is connected by a connector-pin to the cam of the lock insert for by rotation of the connector-pin by the connector-receiver rotating the cam and actuating the lock bolt by the cam for locking and unlocking the door;
- an actuator module comprising a casing and an electrical motor inside the casing, wherein the motor is functionally and mechanically connected to the connector-receiver through a gear wheel arrangement for by operation of the motor to rotate gear wheels in the gear wheel arrangement and rotate the combination of the connector-receiver, the connector-pin, and the cam;
- wherein the actuator module comprises a handle for manually rotating the connector-receiver through the arrangement of intermeshing gear wheels as an alternative of the rotation by the motor;
- wherein the connector module comprises a rear plate with a rear side abutting the vertical stile profile and with an opposite side carrying the actuator module and the cover plate in a side-by-side relationship;
- wherein the actuator module is offset from the connector-receiver in a direction away from the frame at the location of the door lock;
- wherein a height H1 of the connector module at the location of the connector-receiver, including the cover plate, is less than a height H2 of the actuator module for preventing collision of the actuator module with the frame when the door is swinging in the frame between an open and a closed position.
