[0026] Example 1

[0027] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the present invention discloses a clutch device for lock, comprising: a box body 1 and a control unit 2, wherein a driving motor 3, a worm 4, a worm wheel 5 and a locking block 6 are arranged in the box body, wherein the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the worm, wherein one side of the worm engages with the worm wheel, wherein a locking block is arranged on the side of the worm wheel away from the worm, wherein one end of the locking block is provided with a rack 7, wherein the end of the locking block away from the rack is provided with a limiting sleeve 8, wherein the control unit is electrically connected to the driving motor and is used to control the operation of the driving motor. A first limiting hole is arranged at one end of the box body close to the limiting sleeve for facilitating the extension of the limiting sleeve, and a second limiting hole is arranged at one end of the box body close to the rack for facilitating the extension of the rack.

[0029] A sealing block 9 is provided at one end of the locking block close to the limiting sleeve, and a spring 10 is provided between the sealing block and the end of the limiting sleeve. A strip-shaped elastic membrane 11 is provided on one side of the locking block. A plurality of mounting cavities 12 are provided in the elastic membrane. An elastic ball 13 is installed in the elastic membrane, and a conductive arc sheet 14 is provided on the side of the elastic ball away from the outside. A conductive component 15 is also provided in the mounting cavity, and the conductive component includes a movable sheet 16, and conductive arc-shaped spring sheets 17 are provided at both ends of the movable sheet. The sealing block is used to seal the gas in the limiting sleeve.

[0030] A resistor 18 is mounted in the middle of the movable sheet, and conductive hemispheres 19 are mounted at both ends of the resistor.

[0031] The resistance of the conductive hemisphere is less than the resistance of the resistor. The conductive components of the multiple installation cavities are connected in series through wires and are respectively connected to the two poles of an external power supply to form a series closed loop. An ammeter 20 is installed on the closed loop, and the ammeter is electrically connected to a control unit, and the control unit is externally connected to an alarm 21.

[0032] The control unit of the present invention may adopt a computer system or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).

[0033] When this embodiment is implemented, the user controls the drive motor to rotate forward through the control unit, and drives the worm to rotate forward, and the worm gear is driven to drive the locking block to extend to achieve locking, and the clutch is in the first working state; the user controls the drive motor to reverse through the control unit, and drives the worm to reverse, and the worm gear is driven to drive the locking block to retract, and the rack to extend downward to achieve unlocking, and the clutch is in the second working state; when the external structure is opened, the limit sleeve receives external extrusion force, and the user controls the drive motor to rotate forward through the control unit, and the rack moves upward, and the internal spring is compressed at this time, and the limit sleeve is in an upward push state, which is a clutch locked state, and the clutch is in the third working state.

[0034] When in the first working state, when the lock block extends, only when the limit sleeve presses against the end wall of the locked part, the sealing block squeezes the gas in the limit sleeve, so that the elastic membrane protrudes outward, and the elastic ball on the elastic membrane squeezes the inner wall of the locked part. At this time, the conductive arc sheet contacts a pair of conductive hemispheres at the same time, so that the resistor sheet and the conductive arc sheet with lower resistance make the current value of the ammeter greater than a predetermined threshold value under the rated voltage. At this time, the control unit will turn off the drive motor, realize automatic shutdown of the drive motor, and will not cause the alarm to sound. When the drive motor cannot work normally, the lock block does not extend to the predetermined length. At this time, the elastic membrane will not protrude, and only part of the elastic ball squeezes the inner wall of the locked part. At this time, the current value of the ammeter will be lower than a predetermined threshold value under the rated voltage. The control unit will control the drive motor to work further, so that the alarm sounds, avoiding the dangerous situation that the lock block extends a short length and the door is not locked tightly. When the drive motor does not work, the alarm will be turned off.

[0035] When in the first working state, the conductive arc piece will not contact a pair of conductive hemispheres, and the current value of the ammeter will be at the minimum state under the rated voltage. When the drive motor stops working, the alarm will be turned off.

[0036] When in the third working state, the drive motor rotates forward and the rack moves upward. At this time, the internal spring is compressed and the limit sleeve is in an upward state. At this time, the sealing block squeezes the gas in the limit sleeve, causing the elastic membrane to protrude outward, and the elastic ball on the elastic membrane squeezes the inner wall of the box body. At this time, the conductive arc sheet contacts a pair of conductive hemispheres at the same time, so that the resistor sheet and the conductive arc sheet with lower resistance make the current value of the ammeter greater than a predetermined threshold under the rated voltage. At this time, the drive motor rotates forward, and the control unit receives a current signal, and the control unit turns off the drive motor.
