Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] Refer to Figures 1 to 4, an electronic ball lock according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a front ball lock body 100, the front ball lock body 100 includes a front fixing frame 110 and a front handle sleeve 120 rotatably disposed in the front fixing frame 110; a rear ball lock body 200; a connecting rod 300, one end of which is connected to the rear ball lock body 200, and the other end is provided with a driving member 310 extending into the front fixing frame 110; an electric clutch mechanism 400, disposed in the front fixing frame 110, capable of driving the front handle sleeve 120 to be connected or separated from the driving member 310; an identification control module 500, disposed in the front ball lock body 100 and electrically connected to the electric clutch mechanism 400.

[0029] In the above electronic ball lock, the electric clutch mechanism 400 is provided in the front fixing frame 110 of the front ball lock body 100. The identification control module 500 identifies the input information and controls the operation of the electric clutch mechanism 400, so that the front handle sleeve 120 and the driving member 310 can be connected to achieve the unlocking function. The internal space of the front fixing frame 110 is more regular than the internal space of the front handle sleeve 120, which is beneficial to the layout of components, provides a more convenient installation space for the electric clutch mechanism 400, can reduce the production and processing difficulty, improve the assembly efficiency, and improve the reliability of the electronic ball lock.

[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the electric clutch mechanism 400 includes a connecting member 410, a first clutch member 420, and a driving mechanism 430. The connecting member 410 is connected to the front handle sleeve 120 so as to be able to rotate relative to the front fixing frame 110 together with the front handle sleeve 120. The first clutch member 420 is movably disposed through the connecting member 410 or the driving member 310. The driving mechanism 430 can drive the first clutch member 420 to move to connect the connecting member 410 and the driving member 310. It can be understood that when the user inputs the correct identification information, the identification control module 500 controls the driving mechanism 430 to drive the first clutch member 420 to move to connect the connecting member 410 and the driving member 310, and the user can rotate the front handle sleeve 120 to achieve the door opening action. After the user's door opening operation, the driving mechanism 430 drives the first clutch member 420 to reset. When the user inputs incorrect identification information, the driving mechanism 430 does not work, and the user cannot drive the connecting rod 300 when rotating the front handle sleeve 120, that is, the door cannot be opened. The structure of the electric clutch mechanism 400 is simple, and the clutch action mode is simple.

[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first clutch member 420 is a movable body penetrating through the connecting member 410. A mating groove 311 for inserting and removing the movable body is provided on the driving member 310. A first elastic member 440 for driving the movable body away from the mating groove 311 is provided on the movable body. The driving mechanism 430 includes a movable push block 431 and a driver 432 for driving the movable push block 431 to abut against the movable body so that the movable body is inserted into the mating groove 311. It can be understood that the movable body movably penetrates through the connecting member 410 and can approach or move away from the mating groove 311. Under the action of the driver 432, the movable body can be inserted into the mating groove 311. Under the action of the first elastic member 440, the movable body can be disengaged from the mating groove 311. Of course, in other embodiments, the combination of the first elastic member 440 and the driver 432 can also be replaced by a linear driving mechanism 430 for driving the movable body to move telescopically towards the mating groove 311.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, a circular ring portion 312 is provided at the end of the driving member 310. The connecting member 410 is provided with an arc-shaped plate portion 411 that can rotate closely against the outer wall surface of the circular ring portion 312. The mating groove 311 is arranged along the radial direction of the circular ring portion 312. The arc-shaped plate portion 411 is provided with a first through hole 412 penetrating along its radial direction. The movable body penetrates through the first through hole 412. A limiting groove 413 is provided in the middle of the first through hole 412. A limiting portion 421 that can reciprocally move axially along the first through hole 412 in the limiting groove 413 is provided on the movable body. Two ends of the first elastic member 440 respectively abut against the limiting portion 421 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 413. It should be noted that the axis of the circular ring portion 312 and the axis of the arc-shaped plate portion 411 are coaxial. The relative rotation of the circular ring portion 312 and the arc-shaped plate portion 411 has an effect of rotational guidance. The limiting groove 413 and the limiting portion 421 cooperate to limit the movement stroke of the movable body and prevent the movable body from detaching from the connecting member 410. The first elastic member 440 abuts between the limiting portion 421 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 413, making the above structure more compact, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate inside the front fixing frame 110 and providing more possibilities for the design layout of the electric clutch mechanism 400.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, the driver 432 includes a horizontally disposed rotating shaft 4321. The movable push block 431 is inserted through the rotating shaft 4321. A first spring 4322 is inserted through the rotating shaft 4321. A limit pin 4323 is provided on the rotating shaft 4321 between two adjacent turns of the first spring 4322. The two ends of the first spring 4322 respectively abut against the side wall of the limit pin 4323 and the movable push block 431. The movable push block 431 has a pressing inclined surface 4311 that can abut against the movable body. The rotating shaft 4321 is connected to a motor 4324 that drives its rotation. It should be noted that when the motor 4324 drives the rotating shaft 4321 to rotate, the limit pin 4323 on the rotating shaft 4321 can drive the first spring 4322 to axially move relative to the rotating shaft 4321, thereby driving the movable push block 431 to reciprocate axially along the rotating shaft 4321, and then driving the movable body to insert into the mating groove 311 by the pressing inclined surface 4311. It is easy to understand that the motion mechanism composed of the rotating shaft 4321, the limit pin 4323, and the first spring 4322 is equivalent to a lead screw nut mechanism in the mechanical field. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 4321, the limit pin 4323 is always located between two turns of the first spring 4322, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 4321 drives the first spring 4322 to axially move relative to the rotating shaft 4321. Among them, the front fixing frame 110 includes a front mounting plate and a front cover plate provided on the front mounting plate. The front mounting plate and the front cover plate jointly define the internal space of the front fixing frame 110. The axial direction of the rotating shaft 4321 is parallel to the inner surface of the front mounting plate. The above structure of the driver 432 fully combines the characteristic of the relatively small thickness dimension of the front fixing frame 110, with a reasonable design layout, convenient production and processing of the components of the electric clutch mechanism 400, and high assembly efficiency, which helps to improve the reliability of the electronic ball lock during operation.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the rear ball lock body 200 includes a rear fixing frame 210110 and a rear handle sleeve 220 rotatably disposed in the rear fixing frame 210110. Among them, the front fixing frame 110 and the rear fixing frame 210110 are respectively installed on two side surfaces of the door panel. A power supply 230 connected to the motor 4324 and the identification control module 500 is provided in the rear handle sleeve 220. The setting of the power supply 230 avoids the problem of difficult wiring caused by external mains electricity, and the power supply 230 is provided in the rear handle sleeve 220, which makes full use of the internal space of the rear ball lock body 200 without increasing the overall size of the electronic ball lock.

[0035] See Figure 2 and Figure 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, in order to have both electronic unlocking and mechanical unlocking functions, a telescopic lock core 610 and a second clutch member 620 opposite to the protruding portion of the telescopic lock core 610 are provided inside the front handle sleeve 120. The protruding portion of the telescopic lock core 610 can push the second clutch member 620 to extend into the driving member 310, so that the front handle sleeve 120 is connected to the driving member 310. The second clutch member 620 is connected with a second elastic member 630 that drives it to disengage from the driving member 310. It should be noted that when a key is inserted into the telescopic lock core 610 and rotated, the protruding portion of the telescopic lock core 610 can extend to push the second clutch member 620, and then drive the second clutch member 620 to extend into the driving member 310. At this time, when the user rotates the front handle sleeve 120, the unlocking function can be realized. The telescopic lock core 610 is a conventional technology familiar to those skilled in the art and will not be further described here.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present invention, an annular portion 312 is provided at the end of the driving member 310. The front handle sleeve 120 is provided with a cylindrical portion 121 that matches the inner wall of the annular portion 312. The front handle sleeve 120 is provided with a second through hole 122 that axially penetrates the cylindrical portion 121 for the second clutch member 620 to extend out. The driving member 310 is provided with a third through hole 313 that penetrates the annular portion 312. The third through hole 313 is opposite to the second through hole 122 and can be inserted by the second clutch member 620. It should be noted that in order to achieve the function of transmitting torque, the cross-sectional shapes of the second clutch member 620, the second through hole 122, and the third through hole 313 are all non-circular. In this embodiment, the shape of the second clutch member 620 is a quadrangular prism, and the second through hole 122 and the third through hole 313 are rectangular holes that match the quadrangular prism.

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the identification control module 500 is a fingerprint recognition module provided on the front end face of the front ball lock body 100. Even when forgetting to bring the key, the fingerprint recognition module can be used to open the electronic ball lock, which is very convenient to use.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the identification control module 500 includes an access control identification device for identifying access control cards. The access control identification device is provided inside the front ball lock body 100 and is electrically connected to the electric clutch mechanism 400 to control the operation of the electric clutch mechanism 400. When the access control identification device receives a correct access control card, the electric clutch mechanism 400 can perform the unlocking action. Of course, it can be understood that according to the usage needs, the identification control module 500 can also be replaced by a password panel or a mobile terminal to control the opening through a remote APP, etc.

[0039] SeeFigure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, a keyhole 123 communicating with the telescopic lock cylinder 610 is provided on the front handle sleeve 120. The front ball lock body 100 further includes a front handle sleeve 120. A cover body 700 capable of moving relative to the front handle sleeve 120 to cover or expose the keyhole 123 is provided on the front handle sleeve 120, and the identification control module 500 is provided on the cover body 700. The electronic ball lock with the above structure uses the cover body 700 to move relative to the front handle sleeve 120 to block or expose the keyhole 123. The cover body 700 blocking the keyhole 123 can not only prevent dust from accumulating in the keyhole 123, but also improve the concealment of the keyhole 123 and enhance the security of the electronic ball lock. At the same time, the function of electric unlocking is realized by using the identification control module 500 on the cover body 700.

[0040] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the keyhole 123 is provided on the front end face of the front handle sleeve 120. The cover body 700 is rotatably provided on the front end face of the front handle sleeve 120 through a first pivot 710, and the first pivot 710 is offset from the rotation axis of the front ball lock body 100. It can be understood that since the first pivot 710 is offset from the rotation axis of the front handle sleeve 120, when the key is needed to open the door, the user can hold the cover body 700 and rotate it to expose the keyhole 123 located on the front end face of the front handle sleeve 120.

[0041] , in some embodiments of the present invention, in order to avoid accidental touch resulting in the movement of the cover body 700 and thus the exposure of the keyhole 123, a limiting mechanism for restricting the rotation of the cover body 700 relative to the front handle sleeve 120 is provided between the front handle sleeve 120 and the cover body 700.

[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes a third elastic member 720 provided between the front handle sleeve 120 and the cover body 700. The third elastic member 720 is used to drive the cover body 700 to abut against the front handle sleeve 120. Under the action of the third elastic member 720, the cover body 700 abuts against the front handle sleeve 120, and the friction force between the cover body 700 and the front handle sleeve 120 prevents the cover body 700 from displacing relative to the front handle sleeve 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting mechanism can also be replaced with a snap structure provided between the front handle sleeve 120 and the cover body 700 and detachably connected.

[0043] See Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first pivot 710 is provided on the side of the cover 700 and is parallel to the rotation axis of the front handle sleeve 120. The front handle sleeve 120 is provided with a shaft hole 124 for the first pivot 710 to pass through. A detaching prevention part 730 is detachably connected to the end of the first pivot 710 away from the cover 700. The third elastic member 720 is a second spring sleeved on the first pivot 710, and the two ends of the second spring respectively abut against the detaching prevention part 730 and the front handle sleeve 120. In this embodiment, the detaching prevention part 730 is a detaching prevention nut threadedly connected to the end of the first pivot 710. The setting manner of the third elastic member 720 helps to simplify the structure of the limiting mechanism, reduce the manufacturing cost of the electronic ball lock and the difficulty of assembly production.

[0044] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes an annular groove 740 arranged around the rotation axis of the front handle sleeve 120 and an annular part 750 cooperating with the annular groove 740. One of the annular groove 740 and the annular part 750 is arranged on the front handle sleeve 120, and the other is arranged on the cover 700. In this embodiment, the annular groove 740 is arranged on the front handle sleeve 120, and the annular part 750 is arranged on the cover 700. Due to the offset of the first pivot 710 from the rotation axis of the front handle sleeve 120, in the state where the annular groove 740 and the annular part 750 are combined, the cover 700 cannot directly rotate relative to the front handle sleeve 120. It should be noted that when it is necessary to drive the cover 700 to rotate, the user can first hold the cover 700 and move it in a direction away from the front handle sleeve 120. At this time, the elastic member is compressed, and the first pivot 710 is still within the shaft hole 124. When the annular part 750 is separated from the annular groove 740, the cover 700 can rotate relative to the front handle sleeve 120, so as to expose or block the keyhole 123.

[0045] See Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, an angle limiting structure 760 for limiting the rotation angle of the cover 700 is provided between the front handle sleeve 120 and the cover 700. The angle limiting structure 760 can limit the cover 700 at a preset angle position to prevent the cover 700 from rotating excessively when it is necessary to expose the keyhole 123, which affects the convenience of use.

[0046] See Figure 6, in some embodiments of the present invention, the angle limiting structure 760 includes a positioning convex portion 761 provided on the side of the first pivot shaft 710. The front handle sleeve 120 is provided with a shaft hole 124 for the first pivot shaft 710 to pass through. The inner wall of the shaft hole 124 is provided with a plurality of stop limiting surfaces 762 that can abut against the positioning convex portion 761. When the first pivot shaft 710 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle in the shaft hole 124, the positioning convex portion 761 abuts against one of the stop limiting surfaces 762, thereby preventing the first pivot shaft 710 from continuing to rotate relative to the shaft hole 124.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving space is defined between the cover body 700 and the front handle sleeve 120. The identification control module 500 includes a control circuit board disposed in the receiving space and a fingerprint identification member connected to the control circuit board. It should be noted that both the control circuit board and the fingerprint identification member are provided on the cover body 700. In a state where the cover body 700 shields the keyhole 123, the control circuit board and the fingerprint identification member can be located in the receiving space, preventing the control circuit board and the fingerprint identification member from being exposed to moisture and suffering from electrochemical corrosion.

[0048] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the identification control module 500 is disposed on the front end face of the cover body 700. It should be noted that when the identification control module 500 is disposed on the front end face of the cover body 700, the user's palm will not closely adhere to the identification control module 500, avoiding applying force to the identification control module 500 and causing unnecessary damage.

[0049] Certainly, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent deformations or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent deformations and substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
