Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of security protection technology, and in particular to a multi-locking device with electronic locks and mechanical locks. Background Technology

[0002] Banks have extremely high security requirements for their vaults, which store cash and other valuables, and they are equipped with vault doors that meet financial industry standards. Vault doors are a special type of security door and an indispensable part of bank vaults; their anti-theft, fireproof, and vandalism performance directly affects the security of the bank vault. The anti-theft performance of the vault door is closely related to the security level of the vault door locks. Currently, bank vault door locks are primarily mechanical locks. Furthermore, when upgrading to electronic combination locks, a mechanical lock must be kept as a backup. That is, a mechanical lock is kept to work in conjunction with the electronic combination lock.

[0003] In the process of developing the existing technology, the inventors discovered that:

[0004] Mechanical locks can be opened with keys and combination dials, but it's impossible to know when they are opened or closed. This prevents back-office administrators from monitoring the real-time status of the lock, creating a risk that the backup lock might be opened without monitoring, thus reducing the security of the vault door.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can monitor the real-time status of mechanical locks that work in conjunction with electronic locks, in order to solve the technical problem of poor monitoring efficiency of the unlocking status of mechanical locks that work in conjunction with electronic locks. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, the mechanical lock body monitoring device is configured to issue an alarm message when the mechanical lock body is unlocked before the electronic lock body.

[0016] Furthermore, the mechanical lock body monitoring device is configured to issue an alarm message when the mechanical lock body is unlocked and the electronic lock body is locked.

[0017] Furthermore, the mechanical lock body monitoring device is configured to: when the mechanical lock body monitoring device is electrically connected to the electronic lock body, automatically generate the identification number of the mechanical lock body monitoring device according to the identification number of the electronic lock body and a preset naming strategy.

[0018] Furthermore, the mechanical lock body monitoring device is configured to generate an operation record of the mechanical lock body when the mechanical lock body is unlocked or locked.

[0019] Furthermore, the mechanical lock body monitoring device is configured to: send the operation record of the mechanical lock body to the electronic lock body; or

[0020] The operation record of the mechanical lock body is sent to the back-end server of the multi-locking device.

[0021] Furthermore, the multiple locking device is a vault door.

[0022] Furthermore, the mechanical lock body and the electronic lock body lock the multi-locking device in parallel; or

[0023] The mechanical lock body locks the electronic lock body, serially locking multiple locking devices.

[0024] The technical solution provided in this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] By monitoring the position of the mechanical lock's bolt through a monitoring device and reporting it to the back-end in real time, back-end personnel can obtain the real-time open / closed status of the mechanical lock in a timely manner, improving the efficiency of monitoring the mechanical lock's status. This can effectively prevent the mechanical lock from being opened without the user's knowledge, thereby improving the security of the vault. Attached Figure Description

[0032] 14 Mechanical lock body monitoring device Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] This application provides a multi-locking device with both electronic and mechanical locks. The electronic lock can be understood as an electronic product that uses password input to control circuits or chips to access the control system, thereby controlling the closing of mechanical switches and ultimately completing the unlocking and locking tasks. The mechanical lock can be understood as a fully mechanical combination lock without electronic components, featuring a large key limit and high reliability. For example, a disc-type mechanical combination lock equipped with a control bolt. When the bolt is extended, the mechanical lock is in the closed state; when the bolt is retracted, the mechanical lock is in the open state. In the field of security technology, although electronic combination locks overcome the shortcomings of mechanical combination locks, such as limited key limits and poor security performance, in areas with extremely high security requirements, such as bank vaults, a spare mechanical lock is still necessary to ensure its cooperation with the electronic lock. The vault door is only opened when both the electronic and mechanical locks are opened. This undoubtedly increases the security of the vault door, thereby effectively improving the security level of the vault. Therefore, a multi-locking device with both electronic and mechanical locks has a high security level and can provide good security protection for the defined space. In practical applications, multiple locking devices can be installed in areas with high security requirements to protect the items within their defined space. For example, they can be used to prevent theft of valuables from a vault.

[0035] It is understandable that mechanical locks can be opened using a combination dial or key. However, currently, it is impossible to know when a mechanical lock is opened and when it is closed. This makes it impossible for back-office administrators to monitor the real-time status of the mechanical locks, thus creating the risk that a backup mechanical lock might be opened without monitoring. For example, an unauthorized person could open the mechanical lock. In this case, the bank's back-office administrators cannot detect the opening in time, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to the vault. Another example is the possibility that the mechanical lock might be opened but not closed promptly. In this case, the bank's back-office administrators cannot detect the unlocked mechanical lock in time, thus reducing the security of the vault. Therefore, there is a need for a technical solution that can monitor the real-time status of mechanical locks that work in conjunction with electronic locks.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A multi-locking device 100 with electronic and mechanical locks, provided in this application embodiment, includes:

[0037] An electronic lock body 11 that is opened at least electronically;

[0038] Mechanical lock body 12 that is opened by mechanical means;

[0039] Equipment base 13 for installing electronic lock bodies and mechanical lock bodies;

[0040] Mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 installed on the equipment base 13 to detect the operating status of the mechanical lock body;

[0041] The mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11.

[0042] The multi-locking device 100 here can be understood as a device that provides security protection through its closed state. For example, a door equipped with an electronic lock body 11 and a mechanical lock body 12. The combined action of the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 controls the opening and closing of the door. When the door is closed, it provides security protection for the space inside. When the door is opened by authorized personnel, the space inside is exposed, facilitating related operations within the door. To effectively protect the internal space, the multi-locking device 100 needs to have a high security factor. That is, through the cooperation of the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12, the locking device 100 ensures efficient protection.

[0043] The electronic lock body 11 is opened at least electronically. It can be understood that the electronic lock body 11 is an electronic product equipped with electronic devices that control a mechanical switch to complete the unlocking and locking tasks by accessing a control system via a password input circuit / chip. Here, the electronic lock body 11 is an electronic lock product. The electronic method here can be understood as unlocking via a circuit / chip access control system after entering a password. For example, the electronic lock body 11 can be opened by generating an electrical signal by entering a password at an electronic keypad, or by acquiring fingerprint / ID card / facial features in a corresponding area of ​​the lock body and transmitting data via an electrical signal to open the electronic lock body 11. Furthermore, the identity of the operator can be verified by entering an identity password at an electronic keypad. It is understood that the specific electronic authentication method used by the electronic lock body 11 does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application. It is worth noting that in practical applications, in addition to opening the electronic lock body 11 electronically, it can also be opened with a mechanical key. For example, the electronic lock body 11 can be opened with a mechanical key when the power is off.

[0044] The mechanical lock body 12 is opened by mechanical means. Compared to the electronic lock body 11, the mechanical lock body 12 here can be understood as a fully mechanical lock body 12 that does not have electronic components and is opened by a combination or key. For example, a disc-type mechanical combination lock equipped with a control bolt. The mechanical combination typically consists of a set of rotating wheels or wire-coded wheels, etc. When the outer disc is rotated, the extension / retraction of the bolt is controlled by the internal control arm, transmission gears, variable gears, and printing wheels. When the combination is correct, the bolt retracts, and the mechanical lock body 12 is in the open state. Furthermore, the mechanical lock body 12 can also be opened with a key paired with the lock cylinder of the mechanical lock body 12. It is understood that the specific form of the mechanical lock body 12 here is clearly not sufficient to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] The device base 13 houses the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12. Here, the device base 13 can be understood as an object with mounting positions for installing the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12. For example, a door with mounting holes for the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12. The specific shape and dimensions of the device base 13 can be designed according to actual conditions to ensure that the multi-locking device 100 has a high security factor. Furthermore, to ensure a high security factor for the multi-locking device 100, the processing material of the device base 13 needs to be designed according to the actual application scenario and application standards. For example, stainless steel materials that are arc-proof, drill-proof, flame-cut-proof, pry-proof, and waterproof / moisture-proof can be selected. It is understood that the specific type of processing material of the device base 13 does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection sought.

[0046] A mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is installed on the device base 13 to detect the operating status of the mechanical lock body 12; the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11. Here, the operating status of the mechanical lock body 12 can be understood as whether the mechanical lock is in an "open" or "closed" state. The monitoring device 14 can be understood as a device that, through electrical connection with the electronic lock body 11, can acquire different electrical signals when the state of the mechanical lock body 12 changes. Specifically, when the mechanical lock body 12 is in a "closed" state, the circuit between the monitoring device 14 and the electronic lock body 11 transmits a first signal; when the mechanical lock body 12 is in an "open" state, the signal transmitted by the circuit between the monitoring device 14 and the electronic lock body 11 will change, corresponding to the transmission of a second signal. By acquiring different electrical signals, the electronic device can sense the changes in the state of the mechanical lock body 12 in real time.

[0047] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body 12 includes a bolt that extends in a first state and retracts in a second state; the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is used to detect the position of the bolt.

[0048] Understandably, the bolt is the component in a lock that directly performs the locking function, and it is the final executor of the entire door lock opening / closing action. The lock installed on the door, in conjunction with the bolt slot located in the door frame, connects the door to the door frame, thus sealing the space. If the door is opened, the bolt retracts from the bolt slot, releasing the seal on the interior space. If the door is closed, the bolt extends into the bolt slot, restoring the seal on the interior space. Therefore, monitoring the bolt position is essential to obtain real-time information about the unlocking status of the mechanical lock body 12.

[0049] The first state here can be understood as the mechanical lock body 12 being closed, with the bolt extending into the bolt slot (moving in the first direction), and the mechanical lock body 12 in a "closed" state. Here, the first direction can be understood as the direction in which the bolt slot is located. The second state here can be understood as the mechanical lock body 12 being opened, with the bolt moving out of the bolt slot (moving in a direction away from the first direction), and the mechanical lock body 12 in an "open" state. Here, the bolt position can be understood as the position of the bolt relative to the bolt slot. By detecting the bolt position through the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11, it can be determined whether the mechanical lock body 12 is performing an "opening" or "closing" action.

[0050] The mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 detects the position of the bolt by measuring the distance between the bolt and the bolt slot using an infrared ranging device. For example, if the measured distance gradually increases, it indicates that the bolt is retracting, and the mechanical lock body 12 is opened; if the measured distance gradually decreases, it indicates that the bolt is extending, and the mechanical lock body 12 is closed. Alternatively, the position of the bolt relative to the bolt slot can be obtained using a camera with video monitoring capabilities. For example, the bolt position is determined based on the proportion of the image occupied by the bolt in the acquired frame. If the proportion of the image occupied by the bolt gradually decreases, it indicates that the bolt is retracting, and the mechanical lock body 12 is opened; if the proportion of the image occupied by the bolt gradually increases, it indicates that the bolt is extending, and the mechanical lock body 12 is closed. Alternatively, the position of the bolt relative to the bolt slot can be determined using a pressure sensor installed inside the lock that can sense the pressure applied to the bolt. When the sensed pressure gradually increases, it indicates that the bolt is retracting, and the mechanical lock body 12 performs the opening action; when the sensed pressure gradually decreases, it indicates that the bolt is extending, and the mechanical lock body 12 performs the closing action. It is understood that the specific method by which the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 detects the position of the bolt does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In practical applications, the latch can be designed as a beveled latch, square latch, anti-saw latch, double-hook latch, etc. The length of the latch can be designed according to the lock's grade standards based on the actual application scenario. Furthermore, as a crucial load-bearing component, the latch requires high material strength, and appropriate materials can be selected for processing based on the lock's grade standards according to the specific application scenario. Common latch materials include zinc alloy and stainless steel. Zinc alloy has advantages such as ease of processing, easy forming, and mature surface treatment technology; stainless steel has advantages such as high strength, resistance to impact deformation, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. Considering the high strength requirements of the latch, stainless steel is preferred for processing. It is understood that the specific processing shape and material of the latch do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 includes an electronic door magnet.

[0053] The electronic door sensor here can be understood as an electrical connection to the electronic lock body 11, capable of detecting whether a door / window / drawer or other space isolation device has been illegally opened or moved. A door sensor generally consists of a permanent magnet and a sensor body. The permanent magnet contains a permanent magnet to generate a constant magnetic field; the sensor body contains a normally open reed switch. When the permanent magnet and reed switch are close together, the door sensor is in a standby state. When the permanent magnet moves a certain distance away from the reed switch, it is in a normally open state. Taking a door sensor installed on a door as an example, the magnet and reed switch can be embedded in the door frame and door leaf, respectively. When the door is opened under external force, the door and door frame will inevitably shift. At this time, the distance between the permanent magnet and the reed switch increases. When the distance exceeds a preset value, a corresponding signal can be immediately transmitted to the backend. The backend, upon receiving the signal, can confirm the door's opening and closing status, allowing backend management personnel to promptly know whether the door has been opened or closed, thereby increasing the security factor of the multi-locking device 100.

[0054] Specifically, the operating status of the mechanical lock body 12 is detected by an electronic door magnet. This involves installing a door magnet in the area where the mechanical lock body 12 is installed and electrically connecting it to the electronic lock body 11. For example, a permanent magnet and a door magnet body are installed in the latch slot and the latch, respectively. When a person opens the mechanical lock body 12, the latch retracts, increasing the distance between the permanent magnet and the door magnet body. At this time, the door magnet generates a corresponding signal and sends it to the electronic lock body 11, which is electrically connected to it. This allows the electronic lock body 11 to know the real-time open status of the mechanical lock body 12 and execute corresponding strategies based on this status. Conversely, when a person closes the mechanical lock body 12, the latch extends, decreasing the distance between the permanent magnet and the door magnet body. At this time, the door magnet generates a corresponding signal and sends it to the electronic lock body 11, which is electrically connected to it. This allows the electronic lock body 11 to know the real-time closed status of the mechanical lock body 12 and execute corresponding strategies based on this status. Furthermore, after the electronic lock body 11 learns the real-time closed status of the mechanical lock body 12, it can also report the status of the mechanical lock body 12 to the backend so that the administrator can obtain the closed status of the mechanical lock body 12 in a timely manner.

[0055] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is configured to issue an alarm message when the mechanical lock body 12 is unlocked before the electronic lock body 11.

[0056] Understandably, when both the mechanical lock body 12 and the electronic lock body 11 in the multi-locking device 100 are opened, the locking function of the multi-locking device 100 is released. Furthermore, only authorized personnel can open both the mechanical lock body 12 and the electronic lock body 11. To enhance operational security, each opening of the multi-locking device 100 requires operator authentication. That is, the identity of the person unlocking the device must be verified. This process can be accomplished using the electronic lock body 11 for password input and verification. Therefore, the electronic lock body 11 must be operated first to ensure the legitimacy of the operator's identity.

[0057] When the mechanical lock body 12 is unlocked before the electronic lock body 11, it indicates that the mechanical lock body 12 was opened first. At this point, it cannot be guaranteed that the person performing the unlocking operation has the necessary authorization, posing a certain security risk. Therefore, a corresponding alarm message needs to be generated so that backend personnel can promptly be notified of the abnormal unlocking status of the multi-locking device 100 and verify the identity of the person performing the unlocking. This improves the security performance of the multi-locking device 100.

[0058] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is configured to issue an alarm message when the mechanical lock body 12 is unlocked and the electronic lock body 11 is locked.

[0059] Here, "electronic lock 11 locked" can be understood as electronic lock 11 failing to open. For example, an incorrect password input for electronic lock 11 causes it to be locked. When mechanical lock 12 is unlocked while electronic lock 11 is locked, it indicates that the password for mechanical lock 12 is correct, but the password for electronic lock 11 is incorrect. An incorrect password for electronic lock 11 could be due to the operator not entering the correct password sequence or the operator not completing authentication and thus not obtaining the correct unlocking password. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the operator of electronic lock 11 has authorized access, and the possibility of unauthorized unlocking by a third party cannot be ruled out. Therefore, when mechanical lock 12 is unlocked while electronic lock 11 is locked, an alarm can be issued so that backend personnel can promptly be notified of the abnormal unlocking status of the multi-locking device 100 and confirm the abnormal status of electronic lock 11. This improves the security performance of the multi-locking device 100.

[0060] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is configured to automatically generate an identification number for the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 according to a preset naming strategy based on the identification number of the electronic lock body 11 when the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11.

[0061] Here, the identification number of the electronic lock body 11 can be understood as a unique identification sequence carried by each electronic lock body 11. The preset naming strategy here can be understood as a pre-stored identification number of the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14, which has a unique mapping relationship with the identification number of each electronic lock body 11. When the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11, the backend can obtain the identification number of the electronic lock body 11. Based on the identification number of the electronic lock body 11, and by mapping the electronic lock body to the mechanical lock body monitoring device identification number database, the backend can determine the identification number of the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14. This facilitates the backend in obtaining specific information about the currently monitored mechanical lock body 12. That is, the backend can record the relevant monitored information under the identification number of the current mechanical lock body monitoring device 14, which is convenient for system management and data verification. In particular, when the backend obtains a large amount of information reported from different mechanical lock monitoring devices 14, it can distinguish and manage the reported information based on the identification number of the mechanical lock monitoring device 14, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0062] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is configured to generate an operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 when the mechanical lock body 12 is unlocked or locked.

[0063] The operation logs here can be understood as a summary table of real-time state change records generated for the mechanical lock body 12. The operation logs may include the mechanical lock body 12's identification number, operation type (unlock / lock), operation execution time, operation result (unlock successful / failed), and the operator. This allows the backend to promptly obtain detailed operation information at the mechanical lock body 12, facilitating subsequent data retrieval and verification. It is understood that the specific data type of these operation logs does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is configured such that: the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 is sent to the electronic lock body 11; or, the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 is sent to the back-end server of the multi-locking device 100.

[0065] It is understood that the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 is electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11. Therefore, after the monitoring device 14 generates the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12, it can be directly sent to the electronic lock body 11. In this way, the electronic lock body 11 can directly obtain the real-time status of the mechanical lock body 12 and execute the corresponding operation. For example, the electronic lock body 11 generates a corresponding electronic lock body 11 operation record based on the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12. Alternatively, the electronic lock body 11 sends its own electronic lock body 11 operation record together with the mechanical lock body 12 operation record to the backend server. It is understood that the specific operation performed by the electronic lock body 11 after obtaining the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] Furthermore, after the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 is generated, it can also be sent to the backend server of the multi-locking device 100. That is, the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 can also be electrically connected to the backend server. Here, the backend server can be understood as a processor that provides data transmission, reception, and processing services for the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12. After obtaining the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12, the backend server can summarize the data with the operation record of the electronic lock body 11 to generate the operation record of the multi-locking device 100. Alternatively, the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 can be directly saved as data. It is understood that the specific operation content performed by the backend server of the multi-locking device 100 after obtaining the operation record of the mechanical lock body 12 obviously does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.

[0067] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the mechanical lock body 12 and the electronic lock body 11 lock the multi-locking device 100 in parallel; or, the mechanical lock body 12 locks the electronic lock body 11, and the multi-locking device 100 is locked in sequence.

[0068] The parallel locking mechanism here can be understood as follows: if either the mechanical lock body 12 or the electronic lock body 11 is not unlocked, the multi-locking device 100 cannot be unlocked and remains locked. Alternatively, it can be understood as the multi-locking device 100 can only be opened when both the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 are opened simultaneously. This effectively increases the security of the multi-locking device 100.

[0069] The serial locking mechanism here can be understood as the mechanical lock body 12 locking the electronic lock body 11. The electronic lock body 11 must be engaged before the mechanical lock body 12 can be released, thus unlocking the multi-locking device 100. In other words, successful unlocking of the mechanical lock body 12 requires not only a correct password but also engagement of the electronic lock body 11. Only when both conditions are met can the multi-locking device 100 be unlocked. In actual operation, the electronic lock body 11 should be unlocked first, followed by the mechanical lock body 12. This allows for the orderly unlocking of the next lock based on the unlocking status of the previous lock, increasing the security of the multi-locking device 100.

[0070] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment provided in this application, the multiple locking device 100 is a vault door.

[0071] The vault door here can be understood as the door installed in a bank vault, equipped with both a mechanical lock body 12 and an electronic lock body 11. It's understandable that bank vaults require an extremely high level of security. Installing a vault door with both mechanical and electronic combination locks in the vault requires staff to verify their identity and enter both passwords at the vault door to open it. Only after identity verification is complete and both the electronic and mechanical passwords are entered correctly can the vault door be opened. The dual protection of the mechanical and electronic combination locks effectively enhances the security performance of the bank vault. When the multi-locking device 100 is used as the vault door, due to the extremely high security requirements of bank vaults, the device base 13 for installing the electronic lock body 11 and mechanical lock body 12 can preferably be made of stainless steel material that is arc-proof, drill-proof, flame-cut-proof, pry-proof, and waterproof and moisture-proof, providing highly efficient security protection for the vault. The dimensions of the device base 13 can be designed according to the specific application scenario of the vault.

[0072] In one specific embodiment provided in this application, the multi-locking device 100 is a vault door installed in a bank vault. The vault door is equipped with an electronic lock body 11, a mechanical lock body 12, a device base 13, and a mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 electrically connected to the electronic lock body 11. The server can generate an identification number for the mechanical lock body monitoring device 14 based on the identification number of the electronic lock body 11.

[0073] Specifically, the equipment base 13 can be the door body of the vault, and can be made of stainless steel that is arc-proof, drill-proof, flame-cut-proof, pry-proof, waterproof, and moisture-proof. The electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 are embedded in the vault door. The operation interfaces of the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 are located outside the door, while the control components of the locks are located inside the door to perform the corresponding locking actions. When the operator enters the correct unlocking password for the electronic lock body 11, the electronic lock body 11 can perform the unlocking operation. Afterwards, the operator can enter the password for the mechanical lock body 12. When the password for the mechanical lock body 12 is correct, and the electronic door magnetic sensor detects the retraction of the bolt of the mechanical lock body 12, it indicates that the mechanical lock body 12 is in the "open" state. At this time, the electronic lock body 11 and the backend server can obtain the real-time status of the mechanical lock body 12 and generate a record of the mechanical lock and unlock operation. When both the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 are opened, the vault door is opened. Personnel can enter the vault to perform corresponding tasks. During this process, if the mechanical lock body 12 is opened before the electronic lock body 11, or if the mechanical lock body 12 is opened but the electronic lock body 11 is still locked, an alarm message will be issued so that the back-end personnel can be notified in time of the abnormal opening status of the vault door.

[0074] When personnel leave the vault and close the vault door, both the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 perform locking operations. The electronic lock body 11 locks, and the backend can obtain its real-time locking status. The mechanical lock body 12 locks, and the electronic door sensor reports its real-time status to both the electronic lock body 11 and the server. At this time, the backend can promptly obtain the real-time locking status of the mechanical lock body 12 and generate a record of its locking. Once both the electronic lock body 11 and the mechanical lock body 12 are locked, the vault door is successfully closed.
