Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent lock and an emergency opening method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Currently, common intelligent locks are mostly fingerprint locks and password locks. For general locks, when an electronic failure occurs in a fingerprint lock, the password lock can be used for mechanical opening. However, if the password is forgotten, it will be rather troublesome and the key needs to be used for opening. But the key is not always carried, which brings certain inconvenience to users, making it impossible to open the door lock in time. Moreover, always carrying the key is very inconvenient. Now, many intelligent locks tend to have no physical key and use the password lock for mechanical opening. Locks like this that combine an electronic fingerprint lock and a mechanical password lock are very popular. Usually, the lock is opened by fingerprint. In case it cannot be opened by fingerprint, it can still be opened mechanically through the password lock. However, if the password is forgotten, it will be troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems pointed out in the background art, the present invention provides an intelligent lock and an emergency opening method thereof. In the case of forgetting the password, the unlocking password can be obtained by scanning a two-dimensional code, thus completely getting rid of the use of the key.
