BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to locks, and particularly those for locking doors whose closing operation is vertical, sliding or tilting. It is also directed to the field of locks for electrically operated doors.
E90904411 for an electrical lock operating device, especially for motor vheicles, is made up of an electric motor which drives an endless screw or worm unit. This is housed in a part of the frame of the device which forms one sole piece with the part of the frame which houses the electric motor.
Recently remote control units have become well-known in systems for unlocking vehicles for example. Outdoor blinds and vertical doors are operated at present by motors which avoid the human work of lifting and lowering these by hand.
Nevertheless locks which can combine both systems, that of motor-driven lifting and operation by remote control have not yet been heard of.
Unlocking this kind of lock and this kind of door involves a series of difficulties stemming from the fact that the lock action has to be internal, as otherwise the lock cannot be efficient because it could easily be forced. Furthermore, the fact that the blind or door mechanically separates from the lock presents problems stemming from the particular adjustment of each item, and as we will see further on in accordance with the solution for this problem.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention presents a combined operation lock which, though it can be mechanically operated, can also be run by remote control and is electrically operable, thus electronically determining the situation and anomalies of the locking operation.
There is also a description of an embodiment of the lock including a communication system using two codified units, one external and another in the lock, which are in a permanent dialogue situation, so that the motor can only be operated when both units are in proper communication, and including the set of internal and external devices for detection of the status of the door and consequently the means for carrying out opening or closing operations.


BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It order to wake the explanation to follow clearer, thirteen sheets of drawings are enclosed, representing the essence of this invention in nineteen figures:
FIG. 1 shows an outside view of the assembly.

FIG. 3 shows a view of the anchorage with interior view.
FIG. 4 shows a view of the anchorage in perspective with the rod inserted into the anchorage.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic view of the structure of electrical and mechanical operation.
FIG. 6 shows a schematic view of the electrical and mechanical operation according to its position on the rod.
FIG. 7 shows a view perpendicular to the previous one in closed position.
FIG. 8 shows a schematic view of the locking device with the automatic retaining device assembly for locking.
FIG. 9 shows a schematic view of the assembly shown in the previous figure in the open position.
FIG. 10 shows a view of the automatic locking retaining assembly in the open position.
FIG. 11 shows a schematic view of the assembly from the side.
FIG. 12 shows a view of the cover.
FIG. 13 shows a view of the assembly in which the locking of the rod in the anchorage can be seen.
FIG. 14 shows a detail of the balls.
FIG. 15 shows a front view whose cutaway enables the internal part of a preferential embodiment to be seen.
FIG. 16 shows a section and detail of the triggering mechanism according to a preferential embodiment.
FIG. 17 shows the rear part of the body in the preferential embodiment.
FIG. 18 shows a section view of the cover in which the housing for the electronic system of the lock is set.
FIG. 19 is a side view with a cutaway which shows a cross-section of the arrangement of the electronic board and contacts.
