The swing assembly comprises a swing member, a conical spring, two balance wheels and a balance wheel shaft. The swing member is in the shape of an elongated strip, the upper end of which is set as a plane, the lower end surface is set as a "V"-shaped surface, and on both sides of the swing member and the lower part between the two sides. Both are provided with through holes. After the swinging part shaft fixed on the inner surface of the lower cover is sleeved with a conical spring, it passes through the through holes at the lower part between the two sides of the swinging part. A balance wheel shaft is fixed in the through holes on both sides of the swinging part. The two balance wheels are respectively connected to the balance wheel shaft in rotation. Either of the two balance wheels is engaged with the end large wheel, and the swinging angle of the balance wheel shaft is limited by the limit assembly. A bridge wheel is installed at the outer end of the swinging part shaft. The bridge wheel is matched with the worm gear assembly. A bridge wheel stacking wheel is provided under the bridge wheel, and the bridge wheel stacking wheels are respectively engaged with the two balance wheels.

[0005] The clutch deceleration device of the smart lock body has multiple pins fixed at intervals on the edge of the lower cover, the upper cover is buckled with the lower cover through the pins, and the inner surface of the upper cover is in contact with the outer surface of the bridge wheel.

[0011] 3. The present invention sets a limit assembly, which is used to limit the swinging part. The swinging part is rotatably connected to the swinging part shaft. The upper limit blocks and the lower limit blocks on the left and right sides serve to limit the upper and lower positions of the balance wheel shaft, thereby avoiding the situation where the two balance wheels are subjected to a large angular force when the swinging part has no upper and lower limits, thereby instantly crushing the teeth on the two balance wheels one by one. The present invention is safe and reliable through the coordinated use of the swinging assembly and the limit assembly, and fundamentally solves the drawbacks of safety technology in the lock industry.
