Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic lock technology for shared power banks, and specifically to a two-way locking electronic lock structure. Background Technology

[0002] Shared power banks are charging rental devices provided by companies. Shared power banks are usually inserted into cabinets for storage or charging. To prevent the power banks from falling out of the cabinets, electronic locks are usually installed inside the cabinets to lock each power bank. The electronic lock on the corresponding power bank will only be opened when the user scans the QR code on the device screen with their mobile device to pay a deposit, making it easy to take out the power bank.

[0003] Existing shared power bank electronic locks are typically installed in a one-to-one configuration, meaning one lock can only control one power bank, failing to achieve dual-load control. Therefore, the same number of locks as the shared power banks needs to be installed in the cabinet, increasing the cabinet's construction cost. Furthermore, the internal unlocking mechanism of existing shared power bank electronic locks has a complex structure and intricate connections, requiring multiple motion transmissions to reach the locking mechanism. This makes them susceptible to performance degradation due to damage to any single component. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a two-way locking electronic lock structure that enables a fast and continuous unlocking process, reduces unnecessary motion transmission, and makes the two-way locking electronic lock structure simple, with fast and accurate unlocking action.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A two-way locking electronic lock structure includes a housing, inside which a motor, a transmission component, a first locking component, and a second locking component are installed. The output end of the motor is connected to a rotating body, and a cam is provided on the top wall of the rotating body. The first locking component and the second locking component are arranged opposite to each other, and a return spring is provided between them. The transmission component is disposed between the top of the rotating body and the sides of the first and second locking components. When the rotating body is rotated in a controlled manner, its cam drives the transmission component to move horizontally, and the transmission component drives the first locking component to move towards the second locking component or the second locking component to move towards the first locking component, causing the locking tongue portion on the driven locking component to retract into the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, the transmission component is a block structure, with a contact block that cooperates with the cam on the side facing the rotating body, and a through groove running through both sides of the middle.

[0007] Furthermore, both the first locking member and the second locking member have protrusions on the side facing the transmission member, and the protrusions extend into the through groove of the transmission member and slide in cooperation with the inner wall of the through groove.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first locking member and the second locking member have locking tongues at their distal ends.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first locking member and the second locking member have an extension block on the side away from the transmission member, which extends through the outer casing wall and outwards.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second locking members are provided with a hand lever perpendicular to the direction of movement at their upper parts, which penetrates the outer casing wall and extends outward.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical solution of this patent has the following advantages: 1. The cam converts the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the transmission component. While the transmission component moves linearly, the locking component on one side of the synchronous belt moves towards the locking component on the other side. The entire unlocking process is fast and continuous, reducing unnecessary motion transmission and giving the two-way locking electronic lock a simple structure and fast and accurate unlocking action.

[0012] 2. The first and second locking elements are arranged opposite to each other, and the transmission element can drive either locking element to move, realizing bidirectional locking or unlocking. The return spring keeps the locking element against the inner wall of the housing before unlocking, preventing accidental unlocking and improving reliability.

[0013] 3. The transmission component has a block structure, which provides rigid support and reduces vibration and misalignment during transmission; the contact block and cam fit tightly together to ensure efficient and smooth force transmission. The through-slot design allows for sliding engagement with the protrusion of the locking component, forming an internal guide.

[0014] 4. The manual lever is perpendicular to the direction of movement, allowing merchants to easily apply force to turn it. It enables quick manual unlocking in case of power failure or emergency, providing a manual backup to ensure operation even under extreme conditions and meeting safety standards.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] See Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a two-way locking electronic lock structure, including a housing 1. Inside the housing 1 are installed a motor 2, a transmission component 3, a first locking component 4, and a second locking component 5. The output end of the motor 2 is connected to a rotating body 6, and the top wall of the rotating body 6 is provided with a cam 7. The first locking component 4 and the second locking component 5 are arranged opposite each other, and a return spring 8 is provided between them. The transmission component 3 is located between the top of the rotating body 6 and the sides of the first locking component 4 and the second locking component 5. When the rotating body 6 is rotated under control, its cam 7 drives the transmission component 3 to move horizontally. The transmission component 3 drives the first locking component 4 to move towards the second locking component 5, or the second locking component 5 to move towards the first locking component 4, causing the latch portion on the driven locking component to retract into the housing 1. The cam 7 converts the rotational motion of the motor 2 into the linear motion of the transmission component 3. Simultaneously, the linear motion of the transmission component 3 moves the locking component on one side of the synchronous belt towards the locking component on the other side. The entire unlocking process is fast and continuous, reducing unnecessary motion transmission and giving the two-way locking electronic lock a simple structure with fast and accurate unlocking action. The first and second locking members are arranged opposite each other, and the transmission member 3 can drive either locking member to move, realizing bidirectional locking or unlocking. The return spring 8 keeps the locking member against the inner wall of the housing 1 before unlocking, preventing accidental unlocking and improving reliability.

[0019] The transmission component 3 is a block structure. On the side facing the rotating body 6, it has a contact block 31 that engages with the cam 7. A through slot 32 runs through both sides of the block structure. The block structure provides rigid support, reducing vibration and misalignment during transmission. The contact block 31 engages tightly with the cam 6, ensuring efficient and smooth force transmission. The through slot 32 is designed to allow sliding engagement with the protrusion 9 of the locking component, forming an internal guide.

[0020] Both the first locking member 4 and the second locking member 5 have protrusions 9 on the side facing the transmission member 3. The protrusions 9 extend into the through groove 32 of the transmission member 3 and slide in engagement with the inner wall of the through groove 32. The locking members adapt to the internal space of the housing, allowing the locking members to move efficiently within a limited area; the sliding engagement between the protrusions 9 and the through groove 32 provides precise linear guidance, ensuring that the locking members do not jam or deviate when moving.

[0021] Both the first locking member 4 and the second locking member 5 have a locking tongue 10 at their distal ends. The locking tongue 10 is directly integrated into the distal end of the locking member, eliminating the need for additional connecting parts, thus reducing the number of components and potential points of failure.

[0022] Both the first locking member 4 and the second locking member 5 have an extension block 11 on the side away from the transmission member 3. The extension block 11 penetrates the wall of the outer casing 1 and extends outward. The extension block 11 can serve as a connection point, facilitating linkage with external sensors or power switches, thereby improving applicability.

[0023] Both the first locking member 4 and the second locking member 5 are provided with a hand lever 12 perpendicular to the direction of movement at their upper parts. The hand lever 12 penetrates the wall of the outer casing 1 and extends outward. The hand lever 12 is perpendicular to the direction of movement, allowing the merchant to easily apply force to turn it, enabling quick manual unlocking in the event of a power outage or emergency. It provides a manual backup, ensuring operation even under extreme conditions and meeting safety standards.

[0024] When in use, the user scans the QR code on the screen of the shared power bank cabinet with their mobile device to pay a deposit. At this time, the motor 2 starts, driving the rotating body 6 to rotate. Its cam 7 drives the transmission component 3 to move horizontally. The transmission component 3 drives the first locking component 4 to move towards the second locking component 5 or the second locking component 5 to move towards the first locking component 4, causing the locking tongue 9 on the driven locking component to retract into the outer shell 1, canceling the limiting effect on the shared power bank. Then, the power bank can be taken out and used.
