[0027] Research has found that locks generally refer to seals added to objects such as doors, boxes and drawers, which can only be opened with a special key. With the development of single-chip microcomputers and the emergence of various sensors, locks have also ushered in the electronic age.

[0028] At present, most electronic power-free mechanical locks have a power supply in their lock bodies. In actual use, the power supply in the lock body of the electronic power-free mechanical lock can store less electrical energy and is difficult to charge during use, resulting in the cumbersome application of existing electronic locks.

[0050] S102: The first data processing module of the electronic key generates a target identity indication code according to the target identity of the entered fingerprint.

[0051] Here, the target identity indication code is used to indicate the identity of the user corresponding to the fingerprint.

[0052] S103: After the electronic key is connected to the power-free mechanical lock body, the power supply module of the electronic key supplies power to the power-free mechanical lock body and transmits the target identity indication code to the power-free mechanical lock body.

[0053] Here, the electric energy of the electronic key and the target identity indication code are transmitted to the power-free mechanical lock body through the unlocking structure and the lock hole.

[0054] S104: The power-free mechanical lock body determines whether the electronic key has unlocking authority according to the target identity indication code.

[0055] Specifically, the first processing module also performs the following steps: after determining that the electronic key and the power-free mechanical lock body are connected, obtaining and storing the connection time of the electronic key and the power-free mechanical lock body and the number of the power-free mechanical lock body; transmitting the target identity indication code to the power-free mechanical lock body; storing the unlocking and / or locking actions of the electronic key and the action time of the unlocking and / or locking actions of the electronic key; after determining that the electronic key is disconnected from the power-free mechanical lock body, storing the disconnection time of the electronic key and the power-free mechanical lock body.

[0056] The method further includes: controlling the server to record the time and person who took out the electronic key; and controlling the server to set the authority of the electronic key.

[0057] Here, when the user takes out the electronic key, the authority of the electronic key can be set through the server, or a remote control module can be installed on the electronic key to remotely control the electronic key through a network connection between the server and the electronic key.

[0058] Optionally, the method also includes: obtaining the number of the power-free mechanical lock body; judging the confidentiality level of the power-free mechanical lock body according to the number of the power-free mechanical lock body; judging whether the authority of the electronic key is authorized to control the power-free mechanical lock body of the confidentiality level; if the authority of the electronic key is not authorized to control the power-free mechanical lock body of the confidentiality level, then the target identity indication code is not sent to the power-free mechanical lock body.

[0060] Specifically, the power-free mechanical lock body includes an identity recognition module and a second processing module.

[0061] The identity recognition module performs the following steps: determining whether the electronic key has unlocking authority according to the target identity indication code.

[0062] Optionally, the method further includes: controlling the server to record the time and person who takes out the electronic key.

[0064] In this way, by recording the unlocking action, unlocking identity, connection action, etc., a complete action flow and work record of the power-free lock body and the electronic key is formed, further forming a complete monitoring of the electronic key and the power-free lock body.

When in use, after the fingerprint recognition module determines that the input fingerprint is correct, the electronic key is correctly inserted into the lock body, the clockwise direction is unlocking, and the counterclockwise direction is locking. At the same time, the power supply structure of the electronic key can supply power to the power-free mechanical lock body, and record the lock body identity chip number, lock switch action, time, user and other information, and store them in the chip of the electronic key and the passive mechanical lock body. The mechanical lock body and the electronic key can be managed by a set of dedicated system software, which can provide one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many lock switch modes, and can also provide multi-angle flexible applications limited to a specified time, a specified number of times, and a specified number of people, greatly improving the product's scope of application and scenarios.

[0066] The application method of the electronic power-free mechanical lock and the electronic power-free mechanical lock proposed in the present application supply power to the power-free mechanical lock body when the electronic key is connected to the power-free mechanical lock body, thereby avoiding the problem that the application of existing electronic locks is complicated and the electronic lock cannot be applied to a power-free environment, due to the small amount of electrical energy that the power supply of the lock body of the electronic power-free mechanical lock can store and it is difficult to charge it during use, which seriously limits the application scope of the electronic lock and greatly increases the application scope, application environment and application time of the electronic lock.

[0067] At the same time, the electronic key of the present application has built-in fingerprint recognition, which adds an identity authentication function, effectively separates the unlocking function from the user, and ensures that the entire process of opening / closing the lock can be tracked and traced for all users, greatly improving the security and flexibility of the lock application scenarios, which is contrary to the traditional lock where the fingerprint and the user cannot be separated.
