  • Publication number: 20240035305
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lock identifier assembly for locks with a cover with a main body, a hollow projection and a knob housed in the hollow projection and with a knob ramp. It includes a tongue, with a recess and a tongue ramp, linked to the knob ramp such that when the knob is actuated, the knob ramp moves, moving the tongue with it to lock/unlock the lock. There is an identification element housed in the hollow projection that has a guide element housed in the recess of the tongue and which is movable on the tongue ramp. When the tongue is moved by the knob, the identification element moves longitudinally in the hollow projection between a position in which it is hidden in said projection and a position in which it projects superiorly from an upper end of said hollow projection.

  • Publication number: 20230198435
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cascade activation method and mechatronic system for simultaneous generation and consumption. The system includes a non-return diode connected to an electric generator; a first voltage regulator connected to a microcontroller; a voltage converter; and an actuator, which has an activation voltage greater than the first activation voltage of the first voltage regulator. The actuator is configured to simultaneously consume a portion of the electrical energy generated by the electric generator. The method includes the steps of listing the elements of the mechatronic system that require power; calculating the activation sequence of the elements based on the minimum activation voltage and the activation time interval; selecting the electric generator based on the energy/power that needs to be provided to the mechatronic system; and programming the microcontroller with the activation sequence.
