Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, and in particular to a smart lock that can be opened quickly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, locks commonly used in suitcases, takeout boxes, trunks, and other similar containers generally consist of an upper lock body and a lower lock body. The upper lock body has a locking hook, and the lower lock body has a locking groove with a latch to accommodate the locking hook and lock it in place. When unlocking is required, the latch is moved away from the locking hook that extends into the locking groove, and the locking hook is manually pulled outward. This unlocks the upper lock body, making it easier to open suitcases, takeout boxes, trunks, and other similar containers.

[0003] However, for the aforementioned locks, especially when used in delivery boxes, delivery personnel have limited time, and time is money. The delivery boxes need to be able to open and close quickly. In this case, unlocking the lock requires manually pulling the unlocking hook out of the lock slot, which is laborious and time-consuming. Furthermore, if the mechanical key is lost or broken, the lock cannot be opened quickly and immediately. Therefore, relying solely on the mechanical key for unlocking is not a good solution and cannot meet the actual needs of use.

[0004] In response, the inventor of this patent, drawing on work experience, deeply considered the problems encountered in his work, reviewed a large amount of scientific research data and literature, and gradually conceived and designed this application through a novelty search to solve the relevant technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart lock that can be opened quickly.

[0006] To achieve one of the above objectives, a quick-opening smart lock according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a lock head and a main lock body;

[0007] The lock head includes a mounting base and a spring-loaded flip-lock disposed on the mounting base;

[0008] The main lock body includes a lock shell, an unlocking component disposed on the lock shell, and a locking fastener connected to the unlocking component; the lock shell has a lock groove, and the locking fastener includes a latch located in the lock groove for engaging the spring-loaded flip-lock.

[0009] When the spring-loaded flip-lock is pressed so that it extends into the lock groove and engages with the bolt, the lock head is locked;

[0010] When the locking mechanism controls the locking element to move the bolt within the lock groove and away from the spring-loaded flip-lock, the lock head is unlocked, and the spring-loaded flip-lock automatically pops out from the lock groove.

[0011] In addition, the smart lock that can be quickly opened according to the above embodiments of this utility model may also have the following additional technical features:

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a rotating connecting seat is provided at the front end of the mounting base facing forward;

[0013] The spring-loaded flip lock includes a locking ring whose upper end is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting seat, an elastic element disposed on the rotating connecting seat to drive the lower end of the locking ring to tilt forward in its natural state, and a locking hook fixed to the lower rear part of the locking ring.

[0014] When the spring-loaded flip-lock is pressed to allow the lock hook to extend into the lock groove and engage with the lock tongue, the lock head is locked.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the locking component controls the locking device to move the bolt in the lock groove away from the lock hook, the lock head is unlocked, the lower end of the lock ring naturally tilts forward, and the lock hook automatically pops out from the lock groove.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating connecting seat includes a limiting block and a face cover;

[0017] The front end face of the limiting block has a rotating groove along the left and right direction, and the upper end of the locking ring is rotatably locked in the rotating groove; the cover is detachably fitted over the limiting block to cover the upper end of the locking ring.

[0019] The front end face of the limiting block has a slot extending vertically backward. The sliding block is slidably engaged in the slot. The push spring A is compressed and abuts against the top wall of the slot and the upper part of the sliding block. The bottom surface of the sliding block abuts against the upper end face of the abutting block that extends into the slot.

[0020] When the lock is unlocked, the push spring A pushes down on the sliding block to drive the abutment block to swing forward and downward, so that the lower end of the lock ring naturally tilts forward.

[0021] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking device further includes a push spring B disposed within the lock housing;

[0022] The push spring B is in a natural or compressed state and abuts against the left end face of the latch and the left inner wall of the lock housing; the latch is slidable left and right inside the lock housing, and the right end of the latch is located in the lock groove to fit into the lock hook.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking component includes a mechanical key unlocking lock cylinder;

[0025] When the mechanical key is turned to unlock the lock cylinder, it causes the rotating cam to rotate, so that the connecting lug moves to the left by a preset distance through the rotating cam. The sliding plate then causes the guide post and the bolt to move to the left by a preset distance, and the right end of the bolt moves away from the lock hook.

[0026] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking device further includes a push motor fixed in the lock housing in the left-right direction;

[0027] The upper left part of the latch is provided with a linkage block, and the left end face of the push motor is provided with a wedge-shaped push block near its periphery to the left. When rotating, the wedge-shaped push block can push the linkage block to the left and move the latch to the left by a preset stroke.

[0028] The unlocking component also includes an electronic unlocking identification module connected to the push motor for sending an unlocking signal to drive the push motor to rotate the wedge-shaped push block; the electronic unlocking identification module is disposed outside the lock housing.

[0029] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the electronic unlocking and identification module is one or more of the following: fingerprint recognition unlocking module, face recognition unlocking module, palm print recognition unlocking module, and password keypad unlocking module.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking device further includes a limiting push block and a push spring C disposed vertically within the lock housing;

[0031] The upper left part of the sliding plate is cut to the lower left to form a wedge-shaped surface; the lower end of the limiting push block abuts against the wedge-shaped surface to lock and limit the sliding plate and the locking tongue; the upper end of the limiting push block extends to the right and has an upper extension, and the lower right part of the limiting push block abuts against the upper left part of the linkage block to stop and limit the locking tongue with the linkage block; the push spring C is compressed and abuts against the top wall of the lock housing and the upper part of the limiting push block;

[0032] The left end face of the drive motor is also provided with a push rod that is parallel to or approximately horizontal to the wedge-shaped push block and can push the upper extension upward when rotating, thereby pushing the limiting push block upward and blocking and unlocking the linkage block and the locking tongue thereon.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0034] Firstly, the smart lock provided in this application, which allows for quick opening, locks the lock head when the spring-loaded flip-lock is pressed and inserted into the lock slot to engage with the bolt. This locks the lock head to the main lock body, making them difficult to separate. When the unlocking component controls the locking mechanism to move the bolt away from the spring-loaded flip-lock, the lock head is unlocked. At this time, the spring-loaded flip-lock automatically pops out from the lock slot, thus quickly unlocking the lock head and separating it from the main lock body. Clearly, the spring-loaded flip-lock automatically pops out from the lock slot upon unlocking, allowing the lock head to truly separate from the main lock body without requiring the user to manually remove it from the lock slot. This makes the application very easy and convenient to use.

[0035] Secondly, by setting the cover to cover the limiting block, the rotating groove thereon, the upper end of the locking ring and the elastic element, the rotational connection part can be well concealed, making the overall structure of this application simple, elegant and beautiful. It also makes it less likely for foreign objects to be rolled into the rotational connection part due to its good concealment, resulting in good waterproof and dustproof effect and good anti-pinch effect, so that this application has a long service life and is safe and reliable to use.

[0036] Thirdly, this application features a mechanical key-operated lock cylinder. When a matching key is inserted and turned, the rotating cam rotates, pushing the connecting ear to move a preset distance to the left. Simultaneously, the sliding plate drives the guide post and the bolt to move a preset distance to the left, thus unlocking the lock by causing the right end of the bolt to move away from the lock hook. When the user sends an unlocking signal via the electronic unlocking identification module, driving the push motor to rotate the wedge-shaped push block, the rotating wedge-shaped push block pushes the linkage block, pushing the bolt to move a preset distance to the left. This again unlocks the lock by causing the right end of the bolt to move away from the lock hook. Therefore, this application offers diverse unlocking methods and flexible use. When applied to suitcases, takeout boxes, trunks, drawers, cabinets, etc., it enables faster unlocking.

[0037] Fourthly, in the initial state, regardless of whether the user manually unlocks the lock using a mechanical key or uses the electronic unlocking identification module to send an unlocking signal to drive the push motor for automatic unlocking, the unlocking process requires prior upward and reverse pushing or pushing of the limiting push block to prevent the left end of the sliding plate and the left end of the linkage block from being blocked. Only then can the bolt be driven to move to the left with sufficient travel so that its right end is completely away from the lock hook to achieve the purpose of unlocking the lock head. By setting the limiting push block and the push spring C and other structural components, when the lock hook of the lock head is locked, it can be assisted to be blocked and limited, so that it will not easily move to the left and be easily unlocked, making the entire application more stable and reliable in use.

[0038] Fifthly, in the initial state, the push spring B is in a natural or compressed state abutting between the left end face of the latch and the left inner wall of the lock housing, and the push spring C is in a compressed state abutting between the top wall of the lock housing and the wedge-shaped surface, so that the latch is pushed to the right under the elastic force of the push spring B and the push spring C. In the initial state, as long as the lock hook does not extend into the lock groove, the right end of the latch will always be in the lock groove, ready to lock the lock head next time. Even if one of the push spring B or the push spring C loses its elasticity, the other still retains its elasticity, which makes the service life of this application long.

[0039] Sixthly, this application has its own power supply, enabling it to work independently in actual use, thus eliminating the trouble of an external power supply. When the charging interface is plugged with the sealing plug, the charging interface can be effectively waterproofed and dustproofed. When the sealing plug is removed, an external power supply can be used to charge the rechargeable battery through the charging interface, so that this application can be used uninterruptedly.

[0065] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention: a smart lock 1000 that can be opened quickly.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the smart lock 1000 that can be quickly opened according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a lock head 10 and a main lock body 20;

[0067] The lock head 10 includes a mounting base 101 and a spring-loaded flip-lock 102 disposed on the mounting base 101;

[0068] Furthermore, the main lock body 20 includes a lock housing 201, an unlocking component 202 disposed on the lock housing 201, and a locking fastener 203 connected to the unlocking component 202; the lock housing 201 has a lock groove 2011, and the locking fastener 203 includes a latch 2031 located in the lock groove 2011 for engaging the spring-loaded flip-top lock 102;

[0069] When the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 is pressed so that it extends into the lock groove 2011 and engages with the lock tongue 2031, the lock head 10 is locked.

[0070] When the locking member 202 controls the locking member 203 to move the bolt 2031 in the lock groove 2011 away from the spring-loaded flip-lock 102, the lock head 10 is unlocked and the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 automatically pops out from the lock groove 2011.

[0071] Based on the above, it is clear that in specific implementation, this application is mainly used as a smart lock 1000 that can be opened quickly.

[0072] Specifically, when applying this application, assemble the application according to the structure described above, and install the application onto the item that needs to be locked, referring to... Figure 6 As shown, if the lock head 10 is fixed to the lower edge of the top cover 40 of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc., and the main lock body 20 is fixed to the upper edge of the upper opening of the box body 30 of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc., so that they are aligned vertically, then the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 can be pressed to extend into the lock groove 2011 and engage with the lock tongue 2031. At this time, the lock head 10 will be locked, so that the top cover 40 of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc. corresponds to and closes the upper opening of the box body 30 of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc. and is locked. In this way, the upper opening of the box body 30 of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc. is closed and locked and is not easy to open.

[0073] Then, when it is necessary to open the upper opening of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc., the locking component 202 can control the locking fastener 203 to drive the locking tongue 2031 to move in the lock groove 2011 and away from the spring-loaded flip lock 102. At this time, the lock head 10 will be unlocked, and the spring-loaded flip lock 102 will automatically pop out from the lock groove 2011. In this way, the upper opening of the suitcase, takeout box 2000, trunk, etc. can be quickly unlocked and opened.

[0074] Therefore, it is clear that the application of this application will have the following technical effects:

[0075] When the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 is pressed so that it extends into the lock groove 2011 and engages with the bolt 2031, the lock head 10 is locked, thus locking the lock head 10 to the main lock body 20 and making it difficult for them to separate. When the unlocking member 202 controls the locking fastener 203 to move the bolt 2031 within the lock groove 2011 away from the spring-loaded flip-lock 102, the lock head 10 is unlocked. At this time, the spring-loaded flip-lock 10... 2. The lock head 10 will automatically pop out from the lock slot 2011, thus enabling the main lock body 20 to quickly unlock the lock head 10 and automatically separate them. Obviously, for the provided spring-loaded flip lock 102, it will automatically pop out from the lock slot 2011 at the moment of unlocking to achieve quick opening, so that the lock head 10 and the main lock body 20 can be truly separated without the user having to manually remove it from the lock slot 2011, making this application very labor-saving and very quick and convenient to use.

[0076] Furthermore, through the above-mentioned optimized design, the whole constituted by this application is highly practical and has a good effect in use.

[0077] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, the front end of the mounting base 101 is provided with a rotating connecting base 103 facing forward;

[0078] In this application, the spring-loaded flip lock 102 includes a lock ring 1021 whose upper end is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting seat 103, an elastic member 1022 disposed on the rotating connecting seat 103 for driving the lower end of the lock ring 1021 to tilt forward in its natural state, and a lock hook 1023 fixed to the lower rear part of the lock ring 1021.

[0079] Therefore, when the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 is pressed to allow the lock hook 1023 to extend into the lock groove 2011 and engage with the lock tongue 2031, the lock head 10 will be locked. Conversely, when the locking member 202 controls the locking fastener 203 to move the lock tongue 2031 within the lock groove 2011 away from the lock hook 1023, the lock head 10 will be unlocked and placed in its natural state. At this time, the lower end of the lock ring 1021 will naturally tilt forward under the elastic force of the elastic member 1022, so that the lock hook 1023 will automatically pop out from the lock groove 2011. In this way, the user can indeed save the effort of manually removing it from the lock groove 2011, making this application very labor-saving and very quick and convenient to use.

[0080] Preferably, in this technical solution, compared with Figures 4 to 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating connecting seat 103 includes a limiting block 1031 and a cover 1032;

[0081] The limiting block 1031 has a rotating groove 10311 on its front end face along the left-right direction. The upper end of the locking ring 1021 is rotatably engaged in the rotating groove 10311. The cover 1032 is detachably covered on the limiting block 1031 to cover the upper end of the locking ring 1021. For example, the cover 1032 is fixed to the lock housing 201 by fastening bolts or other fasteners to cover the limiting block 1031 and the upper end of the locking ring 1021.

[0082] Thus, by setting the cover 1032 to cover the limiting block 1031, the rotating groove 10311 thereon and the upper end of the locking ring 1021, the rotational connection part can be well concealed, making the overall structure of this application simple, elegant and beautiful. It also makes it less likely for foreign objects to be rolled into the rotational connection part due to its good concealment, resulting in good waterproof and dustproof effect and good anti-pinch effect, so that this application has a long service life and is safe and reliable to use.

[0083] Based on this, in this application, we continue to compare... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element 1022 includes a sliding block 10221 and a push spring A10222; the spring-loaded flip lock 102 also includes a support block 1024 fixedly to the upper rear part of the lock ring 1021.

[0084] In this application, the limiting block 1031 has a slot 10312 vertically extending rearward from the center of its front end face. The sliding block 10221 is slidably engaged in the slot 10312. The push spring A10222 is compressed and abuts against the top wall of the slot 10312 and the upper part of the sliding block 10221. The lower bottom surface of the sliding block 10221 abuts against the upper end surface of the supporting block 1024 extending into the slot 10312.

[0085] When the lock head 10 is unlocked, the push spring A10222 will push down the sliding block 10221 to drive the abutment block 1024 to swing forward and downward. In this way, the lower end of the lock ring 1021 will naturally tilt forward, so as to drive the lock hook 1023 to automatically pop out from the lock groove 2011.

[0086] In other words, the spring-loaded flip lock 102 described in this application is elastic. In its natural state, the lower end of the locking ring 1021 of the spring-loaded flip lock 102 is driven forward and naturally tilted up under the elastic force of the push spring A10222. When the spring-loaded flip lock 102 is pressed so that its locking hook 1023 extends into the locking groove 2011 and elastically engages with the locking tongue 2031, the lock head 10 is locked.

[0087] Furthermore, by providing the cover 1032, the elastic element 1022 can also be covered, so that it also has good concealment, good waterproof and dustproof effect, and good anti-pinch effect.

[0088] Furthermore, in specific implementation, it is still necessary to refer to... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking device 203 further includes a push spring B2032 disposed within the lock housing 201;

[0089] The push spring B2032 is in a natural or compressed state and abuts against the left end face of the latch 2031 and the left inner wall of the lock housing 201; the latch 2031 is slidable left and right inside the lock housing 201, and the right end of the latch 2031 is located in the lock groove 2011 to fit into the lock hook 1023.

[0090] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the upper right part of the latch 2031 is cut into a beveled surface 20313. Therefore, when the locking ring 1021 is pressed to allow the locking hook 1023 to extend into the locking groove 2011, the locking hook 1023 will push against the beveled surface 20313 at the instant it extends into the locking groove 2011, causing the latch 2031 to move to the left. When the locking hook 1023 is fully inserted into the locking groove 2011, the latch 2031 will be pushed to the right under the elastic force of the pushing spring B2032, so that the right end of the latch 2031 will engage with the locking hook 1023. In this way, the lock head 10 is locked.

[0091] Furthermore, in specific implementation, in accordance with Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the unlocking component 202 includes a mechanical key unlocking lock cylinder 2021;

[0092] The mechanical key unlocking lock cylinder 2021 has a rotating protrusion 20211 on its outer wall; the locking device 203 also includes a sliding plate 2033 that can slide left and right inside the lock housing 201 and is located at the rear of the bolt 2031. The bottom of the sliding plate 2033 has a connecting lug 20331 that is on the same vertical plane as the rotating protrusion 20211, and the middle of the sliding plate 2033 has a through-hole 20332 in the left and right direction; the rear end of the bolt 2031 has a guide post 20311 that protrudes rearward and extends into the right part of the through-hole 20332.

[0093] When the mechanical key is turned to unlock the lock cylinder 2021, the rotating protrusion 20211 rotates, pushing the connecting lug 20331 to move to the left by a predetermined distance through the rotating protrusion 20211. At this time, the sliding plate 2033 drives the guide post 20311 and the bolt 2031 to move to the left by a predetermined distance, and the right end of the bolt 2031 moves away from the lock hook 1023. In this way, the lock head 10 is unlocked.

[0094] In this application, the mechanical key unlocking lock cylinder 2021 is configured such that when a matching key is inserted into it and turned, the rotating protrusion 20211 is rotated. When the rotating protrusion 20211 pushes the connecting lug 20331 to move to the left by a preset distance, the sliding plate 2033 can simultaneously drive the guide post 20311 and the bolt 2031 to move to the left by a preset distance. In this way, the right end of the bolt 2031 is driven away from the lock hook 1023, thereby unlocking the lock head 10.

[0095] Furthermore, in specific implementation, it is still necessary to refer to... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the locking device 203 further includes a push motor 2034 fixed in the lock housing 201 in the left-right direction;

[0096] Among them, the upper left part of the locking tongue 2031 is provided with a linkage block 20312, and the left end face of the push motor 2034 is provided with a wedge-shaped push block 20341 near its periphery, which can push the linkage block 20312 when rotating, so that the locking tongue 2031 is pushed to the left by a preset stroke.

[0097] Based on this, the unlocking component 202 also includes an electronic unlocking identification module 2022 connected to the push motor 2034 for sending an unlocking signal to drive the push motor 2034 to rotate the wedge-shaped push block 20341; the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 is disposed outside the lock shell 201.

[0098] Therefore, when the user sends an unlocking signal through the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 to drive the push motor 2034 to rotate the wedge-shaped push block 20341, and the rotating wedge-shaped push block 20341 pushes the linkage block 20312 to push the bolt 2031 to move to the left by a preset distance, the bolt 2031 can be driven to move to the left by a preset distance. In this way, the right end of the bolt 2031 is driven away from the lock hook 1023 to unlock the lock head 10. This makes the unlocking method of this application diverse, and the different unlocking methods do not interfere with each other. It is flexible in use. When this application is applied to the boxes 30 such as suitcases, takeaway boxes 2000, and trunks, or to drawers, cabinets, etc., it can achieve faster unlocking.

[0099] Conversely, when the push motor 2034 drives the wedge-shaped push block 20341 to rotate in the opposite direction and resets the wedge-shaped push block 20341 to its initial state, the locking tongue 2031 will be pushed to the right under the elastic force of the push spring B2032, so that the right end of the locking tongue 2031 re-enters the locking groove 2011, so that it can be re-engaged into the locking hook 1023 to lock the lock head 10 again next time.

[0100] Preferably, in this technical solution, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the electronic unlocking and identification module 2022 is one or more of the following: fingerprint recognition unlocking module, face recognition unlocking module, palm print recognition unlocking module, and password keypad unlocking module.

[0101] In other words, in this application, the electronic unlocking and identification module 2022 is preferably able to achieve electronic unlocking through multiple methods such as fingerprint unlocking, face recognition unlocking, palm print recognition unlocking, or password key unlocking.

[0102] Furthermore, in specific implementation, we will continue to refer to... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, the locking device 203 further includes a limiting push block 2035 and a push spring C2036 disposed vertically within the lock housing 201;

[0103] The sliding plate 2033 has a wedge-shaped surface 20333 cut from the upper left to the lower left. The lower end of the limiting push block 2035 abuts against the wedge-shaped surface 20333 to stop and limit the sliding plate 2033. The upper end of the limiting push block 2035 extends to the right with an upper extension 20351, and the lower right part of the limiting push block 2035 abuts against the upper left part of the linkage block 20312 to stop and limit the locking tongue 2031 with the linkage block 20312. The push spring C2036 is compressed and abuts between the top wall of the lock housing 201 and the upper part of the limiting push block 2035.

[0104] Based on this, in this application, the left end face of the push motor 2034 is also provided to the left near its periphery with a push rod 20342 that is parallel to or approximately horizontal to the wedge-shaped push block 20341. When rotating, it can push the upper extension 20351 upward to push open the limiting push block 2035 and thus block and unlock the linkage block 20312 and the locking tongue 2031 having it.

[0105] Therefore, it can be clearly stated that:

[0106] On the one hand, in the initial state, the push spring C2036 is compressed and abuts against the top wall of the lock housing 201 and the upper part of the limiting push block 2035, so that the lower end of the limiting push block 2035 abuts against the wedge-shaped surface 20333 to stop and limit the sliding plate 2033. When the user uses the mechanical key to turn the mechanical key to unlock the lock cylinder 2021, it drives the rotating cam 20211 to rotate, so that the connecting lug 20331 is pushed to the left by the rotating cam 20211. When the movement reaches the preset stroke, the sliding plate 2033 will drive the guide post 20311 and the locking tongue 2031 to move to the left by the preset stroke. It will use the wedge surface 20333 to push the limiting push block 2035 upward in advance so that the left end of the sliding plate 2033 is not blocked. After that, the left end of the sliding plate 2033 will continue to move to the left by a certain stroke so as to drive the right end of the locking tongue 2031 to completely move away from the locking hook 1023 and unlock the lock head 10.

[0107] On the other hand, in the initial state, the push spring C2036 is compressed and abuts against the top wall of the lock housing 201 and the upper part of the limiting push block 2035, so that the lower end of the limiting push block 2035 abuts against the wedge-shaped surface 20333 to stop and limit the sliding plate 2033. At the same time, the lower right part of the limiting push block 2035 abuts against the upper left part of the linkage block 20312 to stop and limit the lock tongue 2031 with the linkage block 20312. When the user sends an unlocking signal through the electronic unlocking recognition module 2022, the push motor 2034 drives the wedge-shaped push block 20341 to rotate. When the locking tongue 2031 is pushed to the left by the rotating wedge-shaped pusher 20341 pushing the linkage block 20312, it will first use the rotating push rod 20342 to push the upper extension 20351 to push the limiting pusher 2035 upward, so that the left end of the linkage block 20312 and the locking tongue 2031 thereon are not blocked and limited. After that, the rotating wedge-shaped pusher 20341 will continue to push the linkage block 20312, so that the locking tongue 2031 is pushed to the left by a certain distance, so as to drive the right end of the locking tongue 2031 completely away from the lock hook 1023 and unlock the lock head 10.

[0108] In other words, in this application, whether the user manually unlocks the lock using a mechanical key or uses the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 to send an unlocking signal to drive the push motor 2034 to automatically unlock, the unlocking process requires prior upward and reverse pushing or pushing of the limiting push block 2035 to prevent the left end of the sliding plate 2033 and the left end of the linkage block 20312 from being blocked and limited. Only then can the lock tongue 2031 be further driven to move to the left with sufficient stroke so that its right end is completely away from the lock hook 1023 to achieve the purpose of unlocking the lock head 10. By setting the limiting push block 2035 and the push spring C2036 and other structural components, when the lock hook 1023 of the lock head 10 is locked, it can be assisted to be blocked and limited, so that it will not easily move to the left and be easily unlocked, making the entire application more stable and reliable in use.

[0109] Whether the lock cylinder 2021 is unlocked by turning the mechanical key to rotate the rotating cam 20211, or by the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 sending an unlocking signal to drive the push motor 2034 to rotate the wedge-shaped push block 20341, ultimately driving the right end of the bolt 2031 to move to the left away from the lock hook 1023 to unlock the lock head 10, this process will cause the bolt 2031 to move to the left to push the push spring. B2032 and the push spring C2036 are compressed so that both push springs B2032 and C2036 are compressed. Conversely, when the mechanical key is released to unlock the lock cylinder 2021 or when the unlocking signal is not sent through the electronic unlocking identification module 2022, the push spring B2032 will push the bolt 2031 to the right, and the push spring C2036 will push the wedge surface 20333 downward to indirectly push the bolt 2031 to the right.

[0110] Thus, under their combined action, the right end of the locking tongue 2031 is driven into the locking groove 2011, making the locking device 203 of this application very stable and reliable in use. Even if one of the push springs B2032 or C2036 loses its elasticity, the other still retains its elasticity, which makes the service life of this application long.

[0111] It should be added that, in specific implementation, comparison should be made with... Figure 4 As shown, according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the smart lock 1000 that can be quickly opened includes a main lock body 20 that further includes a rechargeable battery 204 disposed in the lock housing 201 and connected to the push motor 2034 and the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 for supplying power. The lock housing 201 is also provided with a charging interface 205 connected to it for charging the rechargeable battery 204, and a removable sealing plug 206 is provided at the charging interface 205.

[0112] Thus, this application can be powered by its own power supply and work independently in actual use, saving the trouble of an external power supply. When the sealing plug 206 is used to plug the charging interface 205, the charging interface 205 can be waterproofed and dustproofed. When the sealing plug 206 is removed, the charging interface 205 can be connected to an external power source to charge the rechargeable battery 204, so that this application can be used uninterruptedly.

[0113] Furthermore, it is necessary to add that, in specific implementation, comparison should be made with... Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the quick-opening smart lock 1000 has a mounting hole A1011 on the rear end face of the mounting base 101 for fixing it to the object to be installed; and a mounting hole B2012 on the rear end face of the lock shell 201 for fixing it to the object to be installed, so as to realize the simple installation of the entire application.

[0114] Other embodiments, etc., will not be described here.

[0115] In summary, the quick-opening smart lock 1000 provided in this application, when the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 is pressed to extend into the lock groove 2011 and engage with the bolt 2031, the lock head 10 is locked, thus locking the lock head 10 to the main lock body 20, making them difficult to separate. When the unlocking component 202 controls the locking fastener 203 to move the bolt 2031 within the lock groove 2011 away from the spring-loaded flip-lock 102, the lock head 10 is then locked. Upon unlocking, the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 automatically pops out from the lock slot 2011, thus enabling the lock head 10 to be quickly unlocked by the main lock body 20, automatically separating them from each other. Obviously, the spring-loaded flip-lock 102 automatically pops out from the lock slot 2011 at the moment of unlocking to achieve quick opening, so that the lock head 10 and the main lock body 20 can be truly separated without the user having to manually remove it from the lock slot 2011, making this application very labor-saving and very quick and convenient to use.

[0116] Furthermore, by setting the cover 1032 to cover the limiting block 1031, the rotating groove 10311 thereon, the upper end of the locking ring 1021 and the elastic element 1022, the rotational connection part can be well concealed, making the overall structure of this application simple, elegant and beautiful. It also makes it less likely for foreign objects to be rolled into the rotational connection part due to its good concealment, resulting in good waterproof and dustproof effect and good anti-pinch effect, so that this application has a long service life and is safe and reliable to use.

[0117] Furthermore, this application provides a mechanical key unlocking lock cylinder 2021. When a matching key is inserted into it and turned, the rotating protrusion 20211 rotates. When the rotating protrusion 20211 pushes the connecting ear 20331 to move to the left by a preset distance, the sliding plate 2033 can simultaneously drive the guide post 20311 and the bolt 2031 to move to the left by a preset distance. In this way, the right end of the bolt 2031 is driven away from the lock hook 1023, thereby unlocking the lock head 10. When a user sends an unlocking signal through the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 to drive the push motor 2034 to rotate the wedge-shaped push block 20341, the rotating wedge-shaped push block 20341 pushes the linkage block 20312, causing the bolt 2031 to be pushed to the left by a preset distance. This allows the bolt 2031 to be driven to move to the left by a preset distance, thus driving the right end of the bolt 2031 away from the lock hook 1023 to unlock the lock head 10. As a result, the unlocking methods of this application can be diversified, and different unlocking methods do not interfere with each other, making it flexible to use. When this application is applied to suitcases, takeaway boxes 2000, trunks, and other boxes 30, or to drawers, cabinets, etc., it can achieve faster unlocking.

[0118] Furthermore, in the initial state, regardless of whether the user manually unlocks the lock using a mechanical key or uses the electronic unlocking identification module 2022 to send an unlocking signal to drive the push motor 2034 to automatically unlock, the unlocking process requires a pre-push upward or reverse push of the limiting push block 2035 to prevent the left end of the sliding plate 2033 and the left end of the linkage block 20312 from being blocked. Only then can the bolt 2031 be further driven to move to the left with sufficient stroke so that its right end is completely away from the lock hook 1023 to achieve the purpose of unlocking the lock head 10. By setting the limiting push block 2035 and the push spring C2036 and other structural components, when the lock hook 1023 of the lock head 10 is locked, it can be assisted to be blocked and limited, so that it will not easily move to the left and be easily unlocked, making the entire application more stable and reliable in use.

[0119] Furthermore, in the initial state, the push spring B2032 is in a natural or compressed state abutting between the left end face of the latch 2031 and the left inner wall of the lock housing 201, and the push spring C2036 is in a compressed state abutting between the top wall of the lock housing 201 and the wedge-shaped surface 20333, so that the latch 2031 is pushed to the right under the elastic force of the push springs B2032 and C2036. In the initial state, as long as the lock hook 1023 is not inserted into the lock groove 2011, the right end of the latch 2031 will always be located in the lock groove 2011, ready to lock the lock head 10 next time. Even if one of the push springs B2032 or C2036 loses its elasticity, the other retains its elasticity, which makes the service life of this application long.

[0120] Furthermore, this application has its own power supply, enabling it to work independently during actual use, thus eliminating the hassle of an external power source. When the sealing plug 206 is used to cover the charging interface 205, the charging interface 205 is effectively waterproof and dustproof. When the sealing plug 206 is removed, the charging interface 205 can be connected to an external power source to charge the rechargeable battery 204, allowing this application to be used uninterruptedly.

[0121] Furthermore, the smart lock 1000 that can be quickly opened provided in this application is indeed highly practical and has excellent performance, which makes this application inherently valuable for market promotion and will certainly be very popular and effectively popularized.
