[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods and drawings.
[0039] The terms used in the present invention are those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intention of a person of ordinary skill in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in this case, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as a general description based on the meaning of the terms and the present invention.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 This embodiment provides a smart key, including:
[0041] The main body mechanism 1 comprises an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 adapted to be snap-fitted with the upper shell 11;
[0042] The unlocking mechanism 2 includes a mounting component 21, an unlocking component 22 adapted to be mounted on one end of the outer side of the mounting component 21, a reset component 23 disposed inside the mounting component 21, and a protective component 24 disposed on the outer side of the mounting component 21;
[0043] The main body mechanism 1 is used to install the unlocking mechanism 2 .
[0044] When unlocking is required, the operator holds the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 and inserts the unlocking component 22 into the interior of the lock core. At this time, the protective component 24 will be opened and identity authentication will be performed. If the authentication is passed, the lock can be opened by rotating the unlocking component 22. If the authentication fails, the lock cannot be unlocked.
[0045] As an embodiment provided in this application, Figure 1 to Figure 3 A combination keyboard 111 is arranged at the top of the upper shell 11, a display screen 112 is installed thereon, and a buzzer 113 is arranged inside the upper shell 11. A hanging buckle 114 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper shell 11. A battery is arranged inside the upper shell 11, and the combination keyboard 111, the display screen 112 and the buzzer 113 are powered by the battery.
[0046] When the lock is unlocked for identity authentication, if the authentication is passed and the lock is unlocked, the display screen 112 will display the authentication passed and the unlocking success in sequence. If the authentication is not passed, the display screen 112 will display the authentication failed. The intuitive display screen 112 allows the operator to see at a glance. The design of the buzzer 113 can sound an alarm in special circumstances to remind the operator. The combination keyboard 111 can perform simple settings on the smart key.
[0047] As an embodiment provided in this application, Figure 1 to Figure 4 The unlocking component 22 includes an embedded block 211, an inner cavity 212 opened inside the embedded block 211, and a cavity 213 opened outside the embedded block 211. A code reader 214 is installed on the surface of the cavity 213.
[0048] The unlocking component 22 includes a mounting seat 221 slidably disposed on one end of the outer side of the embedded block 211 , a key head 222 fixedly connected to one end of the mounting seat 221 , and a spiral guide groove 223 provided on the outer side of the mounting seat 221 .
[0049] When the lock needs to be unlocked, the key head 222 is fully inserted into the lock core, and the barcode on the lock is scanned by the barcode reader 214 for identity authentication. Based on the result of the identity authentication, it can be confirmed whether the lock can be unlocked.
[0050] Due to the design of screw mounting of the embedded block 211 and the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12, the unlocking mechanism 2 can be disassembled as a whole and partially replaced, thereby reducing the subsequent maintenance cost.
[0051] As an embodiment provided in this application, Figure 4 to Figure 7 The reset component 23 includes an inner rod 231 fixedly connected to the inner cavity 212, and a spring 232 sleeved on the outer side of the inner rod 231;
[0052] The mounting seat 221 is slidably connected to one end of the inner rod 231, and the two ends of the spring 232 are respectively connected to the mounting seat 221 and the inner cavity 212. The protective component 24 includes a sleeve 241 rotatably connected to the inner part of the embedded block 211, a ball 242 fixedly connected to the inner side of the sleeve 241, and a protective plate 243 fixedly connected to the outer side of the sleeve 241. The protective plate 243 is located inside the cavity 213, and the ball 242 is located inside the spiral guide groove 223.
[0053] When the key head 222 is inserted into the lock core, the mounting seat 221 will slide on the outside of the inner rod 231 and squeeze the spring 232 until the key head 222 cannot slide. At this time, the sliding of the mounting seat 221 will drive the sleeve 241 to rotate through the spiral guide groove 223 on the outside of the mounting seat 221 and the design of the ball 242, thereby driving the protective plate 243 on the outside of the sleeve 241 to rotate inside the cavity 213 and causing the code reader 214 to fully open, so that the code reader 214 can scan and confirm the identity. When the key head 222 is pulled out, the elasticity of the spring 232 will drive the key head 222 to reset, thereby driving the protective plate 243 to reset and shield the code reader 214.
[0054] The above method can not only protect the barcode reader 214 when the lock is not being unlocked, thereby increasing the service life of the device as a whole, but also ensure that the key head 222 is fully inserted into the lock cylinder during the unlocking process, thereby preventing the key head 222 from being turned before being fully inserted, thereby preventing damage to the key head 222 or the lock cylinder. Moreover, by scanning the barcode after the key head 222 is fully inserted, it can ensure that the barcode reader 214 maintains an appropriate distance from the barcode on the outside of the lock, thereby reducing the probability of incorrect verification and improving the overall accuracy of the device.
[0055] As an embodiment provided in this application, Figure 8 , a management system, including a smart key, and also including,
[0056] The permission setting and management module is used for adjusting and managing the permissions of different smart keys;
[0057] Identity verification and unlocking process monitoring module: The identity verification and unlocking process monitoring module is used to determine the authority during the unlocking process, realize different states according to the determination results, and monitor the unlocking records and upload them to the host computer;
[0058] The information recording and query module is used to record the detailed information of the specific unlocking person, unlocking object, unlocking time of each unlocking and locking, and supports the query of each unlocking and locking record.
[0059] The permission setting and management module consists of two parts: system administrator permission classification and rights management. System administrator permission classification divides permissions into layers according to needs, and rights management grants different levels of permissions according to different levels.
[0060] The identity verification and unlocking process monitoring module consists of two parts: identity verification and process monitoring;
[0061] Identity verification is used to determine whether the lock belongs to the authorized level by reading the code before unlocking. If it meets the requirements, the lock will be unlocked; if not, the lock cannot be opened;
[0062] Process monitoring will monitor the records of each unlocking and identity verification and upload them to the host computer.
[0063] The information recording and query module consists of information recording and two parts;
[0064] Information records are used to record detailed information about each unlocking and locking, including the specific unlocking person, unlocking object, and unlocking time;
[0065] Information query is used to filter and query detailed information on the specific unlocking person, unlocking object, and unlocking time for each unlocking and locking.
[0066] In the control system, the entire process can be divided into three main modules, which work together to ensure the safe operation and efficient management of the substation.
[0067] Permission setting and management module: This module is the core of the system. It consists of two parts: system administrator permission classification and rights management. The system administrator manages permissions in layers according to actual needs to ensure that people at different levels are granted corresponding levels of permissions. This module ensures that only authorized personnel can perform specific operations, thereby enhancing the security of the system.
[0068] Identity verification and unlocking process monitoring module: This module includes two key parts: identity verification and process monitoring. Before unlocking, the system will determine whether the person trying to unlock belongs to the authorized level by reading the code. If the person meets the authorization conditions, the lock will be opened; if not, the lock cannot be unlocked. The process monitoring part is responsible for monitoring the identity verification records of each unlocking and uploading these records to the host computer for further analysis and management. Information recording and query module: This module is responsible for recording detailed information on each unlocking and locking, including the specific unlocker, unlocking object, unlocking time, etc., and supports querying these records. Such recording and query functions are crucial for post-auditing and monitoring the safety of substations.
[0069] The entire process starts with the setting and management of permissions to ensure that only personnel with the corresponding permissions can perform operations. Subsequently, the identity authentication and unlocking process monitoring module ensures that each unlocking is subject to strict permission checks and records all related activities. Finally, the information recording and query module provides transparency and traceability for the system, so that every unlocking and locking operation can be tracked and audited. The close combination of these three modules forms a complete intelligent lock control system, which provides a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the power system.
[0070] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are only embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
