An actuating device () for a lock device () comprising a stationary structure () having a credential receiver () for receiving a credential input () from a user; an actuating element () rotatable about an actuation axis () relative to the stationary structure by direct manipulation by the user, where the stationary structure is arranged at least partly inside the actuating element; a locking member () movable between a locked position () and an unlocked position (no); and an electromechanical transfer device (y-y) arranged, based on the credential input, to adopt a disabled state (), in which the locking member cannot be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by rotation of the actuating element, and an enabled state () in which the locking member can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by rotation of the actuating element; wherein the credential receiver is at least partly arranged radially inside the actuating element with respect to the actuation axis.

Actuating device for lock device, and lock device

An actuating device () comprising a stationary structure (); an actuating element () rotatable relative to the stationary structure (); an electric power source (); a spindle () arranged to be rotated by rotation of the actuating element (); a locking member () movable between a locked position () and an unlocked position (); an electromechanical transfer device () arranged in the spindle (), the transfer device () being configured to adopt a locked state () and an unlocked state (); a receiver device () fixed with respect to the spindle (), the receiver device () being electrically connected to the transfer device (); and a transmitter device () fixed with respect to the stationary structure () and arranged to be electrically powered by the power source (), the transmitter device () being configured to wirelessly transmit power to the receiver device ().

Coupling arrangement for a lock device, the coupling arrangement comprising an input and an output element rotatable about a rotation axis; an engaging member movable between a first and second position; an electric motor arranged to affect movement of the engaging member between the first and second positions; a coupling member rotationally locked to the input element and axially movable relative to the input element between a decoupled position, where a rotation of the input element is not transmitted by the coupling member to a rotation of the output element, and a coupled position where a rotation of the input element is transmitted by the coupling member to a rotation of the output element; and a transmission mechanism arranged to transmit a rotation of the coupling member to a movement of the coupling member from the decoupled position to the coupled position when the engaging member adopts the second position.

Coupling arrangement for lock device, and lock device

It is provided an electronic lock for controlling access to a restricted physical space. The electronic lock comprises: a first credential interface for accepting a credential from a user for evaluating whether access for the user should be granted; and a second credential interface for accepting a credential from a user for evaluating whether access for the user should be granted. The first credential interface is configured to be activated when the user causes an interaction with the first credential interface, without activating any other credential interfaces. The second credential interface is configured to be activated when a user causes an interaction with the second credential interface, without activating any other credential interfaces.

Access control device

It is provided a system comprising a lock device and a key device for use in access control to a physical space. The key device comprises: an electronic key module configured to communicate with an electronic lock module of the lock device for access control; and a permanent magnet configured to close a magnetically controllable switch of the lock device to thereby power an electronic lock module of the lock device. The lock device comprises: the electronic lock module configured to communicate with the electronic key module to evaluate whether to grant access; a power source; and the magnetically controllable switch provided between the power source and the electronic lock module such that the magnetically controllable switch is closable by the permanent magnet of the key device to power the electronic lock module.

System, lock device and key device based on magnet and magnetically controllable switch

An arrangement () for an electronic locking system (), the arrangement () comprising an actuating element () arranged to perform an actuating procedure () by means of manual manipulation by a user; an electromagnetic generator () comprising a stator () and a rotor (), the rotor () being arranged to be rotationally driven relative to the stator () at least temporarily during the actuating procedure () by movement of the actuating element () to thereby generate electric energy; and an electronic control system () arranged to be electrically powered by the generator (); wherein the control system () is arranged to control a provision of feedback to the user; and wherein the feedback is a haptic feedback in the actuating element (), a sound signal, a light signal, or combinations thereof. An electronic locking system () comprising the arrangement () is also provided.
