Closing System Comprising a Force Sensor
First Claim
1. A closing system, comprising:
- an analysis unit,at least one door having at least one movable closure element,a closure element receptacle, the closure element projecting into the closure element receptacle in a closed state of the closing system,a force sensor to generate a measured signal in relation to the force acting on the door and to relay the measured signal to the analysis unit, andat least one impingement means to detect alternating loads acting on the door,wherein the analysis unit switches the closing system in the closed state, as a function of a measured signal limiting value, from a first operating state into a second operating state, andwherein the impingement means loads the force sensor with a preload in the closed state.

Abstract
The invention relates to a closing system comprising at least one door provided with at least one displaceable closure element and a closure element receiving member. The at least one closing element of the door lock projects into the closing element receiving member when the closing system is in the closed state. The invention also relates to a keyless entry system for controlling the access of a chamber door, and to a method for controlling the closing state of the closing system comprising at least one door provided with a displaceable closing element and a closing element receiving member, whereby the at least one closing element of the door lock projects into closing element receiving member when the closing system is in the closed state, a force sensor and an evaluation unit. The closing system can be switched, in the closed state, from a first operational state to a second operational state.

1. A closing system, comprising:
-
an analysis unit, at least one door having at least one movable closure element, a closure element receptacle, the closure element projecting into the closure element receptacle in a closed state of the closing system, a force sensor to generate a measured signal in relation to the force acting on the door and to relay the measured signal to the analysis unit, and at least one impingement means to detect alternating loads acting on the door, wherein the analysis unit switches the closing system in the closed state, as a function of a measured signal limiting value, from a first operating state into a second operating state, and wherein the impingement means loads the force sensor with a preload in the closed state. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16)

15. A method for controlling the closing state of a closing system, the closing system comprising at least one door having at least one movable closure element and a closure element receptacle, the closure element projecting into the closure element receptacle in a closed state, a force sensor, and an analysis unit, the closing system being switchable in the closed state into a first operating state and a second operating state, the method comprising:
-
a) generating a force-dependent measured signal by the force sensor; b) relaying the measured signal to the analysis unit; c) comparing the measured signal to at least one measured signal limiting value or measured signal limiting value range; and d) changing over the closing system from the first operating state into the second operating state if the measured signal exceeds the measured signal limiting value and/or if a measured signal outside the measured signal limiting value range exists, wherein the analysis unit triggers a changeover of the closing system into an alarm state after the identification of a characteristic measured signal pattern and/or if an alarm threshold value is exceeded by the measured signal. - View Dependent Claims (17)
