DEVICE FOR LOCKING OR RELEASING A SAFETY-RELEVANT, MOVABLE COMPONENT IN A CONTROLLED MANNER

摘要

A device for a controlled locking or release of a safety-relevant, movable component (2), such as a protective door, protective cover of the like, with a movable blocking element (51) and with a self-locking drive unit (5, 17, 19, 21, 23, 27) controlling adjustment movements of the blocking element (51) between a locked position and a released position is characterized in that an actuator (33) is provided that can be moved by the drive unit (5, 17, 19, 21, 23, 27), said actuator being mechanically coupled to the blocking element for a transfer of the blocking element (51) into the released position brought about by the drive unit (5, 17, 19, 21, 23, 27) and being capable of decoupling for a transfer of the blocking element (51) into the released position brought about independently of the drive unit (5, 17, 19, 21, 23, 27).
