[0037] This device realizes smooth opening and closing of the door through the cam 5, the rebound sheet 6 and the damping component 8, effectively reduces the impact sound of the door during the opening and closing process, improves the user experience, and extends the service life of the door.

In addition, this device realizes remote control through the Bluetooth module integrated on the control circuit board 1, which enhances the intelligence level of the door lock and facilitates user management and control.

[0038] Working process

[0039] When the glass door is in a closed state, the front end of the cam 5 contacts the first concave edge 21, and the damping assemblies 8 on both sides are in a normal state. The mobile phone can send a locking signal to the Bluetooth module of the control circuit board 1, thereby driving the control motor 2 to operate, and the gear 34 and the spur rack 33 cooperate to realize the rise of the latch 12, and then the latch 12 is inserted into the latch hole of the latch seat 9 to achieve ground locking; conversely, the mobile phone sends an unlocking signal to the Bluetooth module of the control circuit board 1, thereby driving the control motor 2 to operate, and the gear 34 and the spur rack 33 cooperate to realize the descent of the latch 12, and then the latch 12 withdraws from the latch hole of the latch seat 9 to achieve unlocking.

[0040] When the glass door is opened to one side, the rotating shaft 4 rotates, driving the coil rotor 32 of the power generation assembly 10 below to rotate. The coil rotor 32 can cut the magnetic field of the stator 38 when rotating, thereby realizing self-generation; Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, when the glass door rotates to one side, the front end of the cam 5 contacts the second concave edge 22 or the third concave edge 23. When the maximum rotation angle is reached, the first limiting notch 19 or the second limiting notch 20 cooperates with the first limiting cylinder 17 or the second limiting cylinder 18 to limit the glass door. During the rotation process, the rebound sheet 6 deflects, thereby compressing the damping assembly 8 on the deflected side and stretching the damping assembly 8 on the other side. When the glass door leaves the limited rotation angle, resistance is generated, which plays a buffering role. Under the action of the damping assemblies 8 on both sides, the automatic rebound of the rotating shaft 4 is achieved, and self-generation is achieved at the same time.

[0041] In summary, the present invention can realize self-generation and power supply, and has a damping and buffering function, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by impact to the door.
