[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] The terms "first" and "second" used in this article are used only for the convenience of describing two or more structures or components that are identical or similar in structure and / or function, and do not indicate any special limitation on order and / or importance.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention from one perspective. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention from another perspective. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the smart lock component provided by the present invention when installed on an American standard lock body. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the smart lock component provided by the present invention when installed on a Japanese standard lock body. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the smart lock component provided by the present invention when installed on a European standard lock body.

[0036] Combination Figures 3-5 Conventional key locks include American standard lock bodies (100), Japanese standard lock bodies (200), and European standard lock bodies (300), all of which differ in their structural design. Therefore, when upgrading to smart locks using these lock bodies, it is difficult to adapt and install smart lock products such as the drive unit (400) to these lock bodies, resulting in significant upgrade challenges.

[0037] Therefore, the present invention provides a smart lock mounting component for driving the host 400 to switch between various types of lock bodies. In detail, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the smart lock mounting component includes a mounting plate 1, which has a first fixing hole 11 and a receiving portion 12. The receiving portion 12 includes a circular portion 121 and a strip-shaped portion 122, which are connected to each other. The first fixing hole 11 is used to pass through a first connector 2 to fix the component disposed in the receiving portion 12. The mounting plate 1 also has a second fixing hole 13, which is used to pass through a second connector 3.

[0038] The mounting plate 1 of the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention is provided with a receiving portion 12. The circular portion 121 and the strip portion 122 provided in the receiving portion 12 can be adapted to the outer contour of the European standard lock cylinder 301 of the European standard lock body 300 (see...). Figure 5 When upgrading a traditional European standard lock body 300, the European standard lock cylinder 301 can be inserted into the receiving part 12 and then fixed by the first connector 2 passing through the first fixing hole 11; for American standard lock bodies 100 and Japanese standard lock bodies 200, they can be fixed by the second connector 3 passing through the second fixing hole 13.

[0039] With this configuration, the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention can be adapted to the installation and fixing of traditional European standard lock bodies 300, as well as traditional American standard lock bodies 100 and Japanese standard lock bodies 200, thus having greater versatility.

[0040] It should be noted that the aforementioned receiving portion 12, including the circular portion 121 and the strip portion 122, is only for compatibility with the traditional European standard lock body 300. If it is for upgrading or modifying other traditional locks with protruding lock cylinders similar to the European standard lock body 300, the structural form of the receiving portion 12 can also be adapted. That is to say, the portions included in the receiving portion 12 are not limited to the aforementioned circular portion 121 and strip portion 122, and can also be designed with other structural forms, as long as the technical effect of inserting the lock cylinder into the receiving portion 12 can be achieved.

[0041] Here, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the structural form of two fixing holes and two connecting parts. In specific implementation, those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs, as long as the requirements for fixed installation can be met. As an example, the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 described above can both be threaded connecting parts, such as screws and bolts. The first fixing hole 11 and the second fixing hole 13 described above can be threaded connecting holes or through holes without threads. These can all be used in specific practices.

[0042] In some embodiments, the circular portion 121 may be hole-shaped, the strip portion 122 may be groove-shaped, and the first fixing hole 11 may be provided on the bottom wall of the groove of the strip portion 122.

[0043] Combination Figure 5 With this design, when upgrading and assembling the European standard lock body 300, the European standard lock cylinder 301 can be inserted into the receiving part 12 and abut against the bottom wall of the groove of the strip-shaped part 122. The key of the European standard lock cylinder 301 can pass through the circular part 121 to be connected to the drive host 400 for transmission. The first connector 2 can pass through the first fixing hole 11 and be connected to the European standard lock cylinder 301 to fix the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention to the European standard lock body 300.

[0044] In this design, the European standard lock cylinder 301 needs to be provided with a threaded connection hole that matches the first connector 2, so as to install and fix the first connector 2 through the first fixing hole 11. The number of first fixing holes 11 in this design can be one or multiple.

[0045] In other implementations, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2The number of first fixing holes 11 can be multiple, where multiple means two or more; each first fixing hole 11 can be circumferentially spaced on the outer edge of the receiving part 12, and the axial direction of each first fixing hole 11 can be at an angle to the direction perpendicular to the mounting plate 1, so that the first connecting member 2 passing through the first fixing hole 11 can press against the European standard lock cylinder 301 inserted into the receiving part 12. In this way, the mounting plate 1 can also be fixedly assembled to the European standard lock body 300.

[0046] In this design, the European standard lock cylinder 301 does not require a threaded connection hole, but the first fixing hole 11 needs to be configured as a threaded connection hole to fix the first connecting member 2. Moreover, in this design, the strip-shaped portion 122 is not limited to the aforementioned groove shape; it can also be a hole shape, meaning that the receiving portion 12 can be configured as a hole shape as a whole.

[0047] In more detail, there can be three first fixing holes 11; one of the first fixing holes 11 can be located on the outer edge of the circular portion 121 and can be positioned opposite to the strip portion 122; the other two first fixing holes 11 can be located on the outer edge of the strip portion 122 and can be symmetrically arranged along the extension direction of the strip portion 122. Thus, the three first connecting pieces 2 located within the three first fixing holes 11 can abut against the European standard lock cylinder 301 at different positions in the circumferential direction, which is more conducive to ensuring the connection reliability of the mounting plate 1 and the European standard lock body 300.

[0048] The number and location of the second fixing holes 13 are not limited. In practice, those skilled in the art can determine them based on the specific structure of the American Standard lock body 100 and the Japanese Standard lock body 200. This is merely an illustrative example. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there can be two second fixing holes 13. The two second fixing holes 13 can be symmetrically arranged along the extension direction of the strip-shaped portion 122, that is, the two second fixing holes 13 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the receiving portion 12.

[0049] The second fixing hole 13 can be a circular hole. In this case, the installation position of the second connector 3 relative to the mounting plate 1 is determined.

[0050] The second fixing hole 13 can also be a non-circular hole in the plane of the mounting plate 1. In this case, the installation position of the second connector 3 can be adjusted along the extension direction of the second fixing hole 13 in the plane of the mounting plate 1, thus improving the adaptability of the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention. For example, the second fixing hole 13 can be an arc-shaped hole in the plane of the mounting plate 1, and the installation position of the second connector 3 can be adjusted along the arc-shaped extension direction; or, the second fixing hole 13 can include a first hole segment and a second hole segment connected in the plane of the mounting plate 1, and the extension directions of the first hole segment and the second hole segment can be set at an angle, allowing the second connector 3 to move within the first hole segment and the second hole segment to adjust its installation position.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the mounting plate 1 may include a thin plate portion 1a and a thick plate portion 1b, and the aforementioned receiving portion 12, the first fixing hole 11, and the second fixing hole 13 may all be provided in the thick plate portion 1b. In this way, on the one hand, it can be ensured that the receiving portion 12, the first fixing hole 11, and the second fixing hole 13 have certain dimensions in the direction perpendicular to the mounting plate 1, thereby ensuring the engagement dimensions of these structures and the components located within these structures. For example, it can ensure the engagement dimensions of the receiving portion 12 and the European standard lock cylinder 301, which is more conducive to ensuring the reliability of the connection. On the other hand, it is not necessary to thicken the mounting plate 1 as a whole, which also helps to save materials, reduce costs, and reduce the weight of the mounting plate 1.

[0052] The thick plate portion 1b may include opposing first and second surfaces, and the thin plate portion 1a may also include opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface of the thick plate portion 1b may protrude beyond the first surface of the thin plate portion 1a, and the second surface of the thick plate portion 1b may also protrude beyond the second surface of the thin plate portion 1a. That is, in the direction perpendicular to the mounting plate, the thick plate portion 1b may protrude beyond the first and second surfaces of the thin plate portion 1a. Alternatively, the first surface of the thick plate portion 1b may be flush with the first surface of the thin plate portion 1a, and the second surface of the thick plate portion 1b may protrude beyond the second surface of the thin plate portion 1a. In this case, for the mounting plate 1, its first surface is essentially a plane, which is more conducive to the fitting of the mounting plate 1 with other components (such as the door body).

[0053] Combination Figure 1 The first fixing hole 11 and the second fixing hole 13 provided on the thick plate portion 1b can both be countersunk holes. This can better prevent the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 from protruding from the second surface of the thick plate portion 1b after installation, thereby better avoiding installation interference problems that may exist between the mounting plate 1 and the drive host 400.

[0054] Furthermore, a buffer pad 15 can be provided on the first surface of the thin plate portion 1a to increase the friction between the mounting plate 1 and the door body, thereby increasing the torsional resistance of the mounting plate 1 after installation and improving the reliability of the mounting plate 1 fixation.

[0055] The buffer pad 15 can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone to increase friction while reducing wear on the door. The number and shape of the buffer pads 15 can be configured according to actual needs and are not limited here; in the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, as... Figure 2 As shown, the buffer pad 15 can be in the shape of an arc strip, and there can be two buffer pads 15. The two buffer pads 15 can be respectively set at both ends of the first surface of the mounting plate 1.

[0056] Furthermore, the first surface of the thin plate portion 1a may also be provided with an adhesive mounting position for bonding the mounting plate 1 when the aforementioned receiving portion 12 and the second fixing hole 13 cannot achieve fixation. This adhesive mounting position can be a groove, or it can simply be a specific area marked out on the first surface. The adhesive used in the adhesive mounting position can be double-sided tape 14 or liquid adhesive; both are feasible in practice.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 Regarding the JIS lock body 200, the smart lock mounting component provided by the present invention may further include a transition connector 4 and a drive shaft 5. The drive shaft 5 can be installed in the lock body drive groove to drive the JIS lock cylinder to rotate. The transition connector 4 can be sleeved onto the drive shaft 5. The pin 201 can pass through the transition connector 4 and be inserted into the JIS lock body 200 to determine the axial installation position of the transition connector 4, thereby enabling axial positioning of the drive shaft 5. The mounting plate 1 can be connected to the transition connector 4 through the second connector 3. The lock cylinder connector 500 can connect the drive shaft 5 and the drive host 400.

[0058] The connection method between the mounting plate 1 and the drive host 400 is not limited. In practice, those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs.

[0059] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 1 may be provided with a threaded connection structure and / or a snap-fit ​​structure. The threaded connection structure includes, but is not limited to, an ear plate 16 with a threaded connection hole, a threaded hole 17, etc.; the snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​part 18. Correspondingly, the drive host 400 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​mating part to realize the snap-fit ​​assembly of the mounting plate 1 and the drive host 400.

[0060] like Figures 3-5As shown, the present invention also provides a smart lock component, including a drive host 400, which is a smart lock product, and its specific structure is not limited here. Furthermore, it may also include the smart lock mounting components involved in the aforementioned embodiments. The drive host 400 can be mounted on the mounting plate 1 of the smart lock mounting component, and the mounting plate 1 can be mounted on the corresponding lock body, thereby enabling an upgrade from a traditional key lock.

[0061] Furthermore, the smart lock component provided by this invention can be based on any of the aforementioned American standard lock body 100, Japanese standard lock body 200, and European standard lock body 300, and has wide compatibility.

[0062] The aforementioned smart lock components can be applied to interior doors, exterior doors, cabinet doors, drawer doors, etc. In other words, the aforementioned smart lock components can be applied to various scenarios that require opening and closing.

[0063] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
