[0007] Furthermore, a password sensing button and a fingerprint identifier are provided on the front side of the front cover of the door lock, below the U-shaped shell. A protective mechanism is provided on the periphery of the password sensing button and the fingerprint identifier, which is slidably connected to the front cover of the door lock. The protective mechanism is electrically connected to the microcontroller of the biometric device.

[0012] Furthermore, a buzzer is installed below the keyhole.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The present invention features a recognition camera that automatically adjusts its angle by rotating up and down. When a taller or shorter person approaches and their face is outside the camera's scanning range, a small drive motor rotates gear 1, which in turn drives the ring gear and connecting shaft 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the smart door lock capable of intelligently identifying human bodies described in this embodiment comprises a door lock front end cover 1, a lock core 23 and a door lock rear end cover 24, wherein the lock core 23 runs through the thickness direction of the door and is installed in a groove opened in the door frame, and the inner side walls of the door lock front end cover 1 and the door lock rear end cover 24 are symmetrically installed with multiple mounting plates 28, and the door lock front end cover 1 and the door lock rear end cover 24 are respectively installed on the outside and inside of the door through the mounting plates 28 and bolts; the door lock front end cover 1 and the door lock rear end cover 24 are rotatably connected to the side away from the lock core 23 with a handle 25, and the handle 25 is connected to the lock core 23 and the lock tongue / latch system through an internal connecting rod, so that the user can control the extension and retraction of the lock tongue when rotating the handle, thereby realizing the door opening or closing function.

[0026] A U-shaped housing 4 is located on the front of the front cover 1 of the door lock. Inside this housing is an identification camera 5, which is movably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped housing 4. The camera 5 automatically adjusts its angle by rotating it up and down to accommodate people of different heights. The identification camera 5 is electrically connected to an existing biometric recognition device. When a user approaches, the camera 5 automatically adjusts its angle up and down, working in conjunction with the biometric recognition device to scan the user's face. The biometric recognition device recognizes the person's face and, upon successful recognition, directly outputs a signal to control the actuator, unlocking the door lock.

[0027] On both sides of the recognition camera 5, there are respectively provided with a connecting shaft 1 6 and a connecting shaft 2 7 extending to the interior of the U-shaped shell 4, and a ring gear 8 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 2 7. A small drive motor 10 is provided on the outside of the U-shaped shell 4. The small drive motor 10 is electrically connected to the microcontroller of the biometric recognition device. The driving end of the small drive motor 10 extends to the interior of the U-shaped shell 4 and is installed with a gear 11 that is meshed with the ring gear 8. When the user is taller or shorter and the face is not within the scanning and recognition range of the recognition camera 5, the microcontroller of the biometric recognition device drives the small drive motor 10 to operate, and the small drive motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate, and the gear 11 drives the ring gear 8 and the connecting shaft 2 7 to rotate, thereby facilitating the recognition camera 5 to rotate inside the U-shaped shell 4 to capture and scan the human face.

[0028] A protective shell 9 is provided on the periphery of the small drive motor 10, and a ventilation grille 29 is installed on one side of the protective shell 9. The protective shell is used to protect the small drive motor 10 from the influence of the external environment. The ventilation grille 29 can ensure air circulation, help the motor dissipate heat, and prevent performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

[0029] A password sensor button 2 and a fingerprint reader 3 are located on the front side of the door lock front cover 1, below the U-shaped housing 4. Once the user enters the correct password or passes fingerprint recognition, the door lock can be intelligently unlocked. A protective mechanism 12 is provided around the password sensor button 2 and the fingerprint reader 3, which is slidably connected to the door lock front cover 1. The protective mechanism 12 is electrically connected to the microcontroller of the biometric recognition device. This effectively protects the password sensor button 2 and the fingerprint reader 3, preventing unauthorized attempts to crack the key and providing a certain degree of dust protection.

[0030] A keyhole 26 is also provided on the front side of the front cover 1 of the door lock, and a buzzer 27 is installed below the keyhole 26; the function of the keyhole 26 is to facilitate the user to insert a mechanical key and enter the lock cylinder 23 through it, so as to open the door lock by a traditional key method, which serves as a reliable backup solution when the electronic unlocking method fails; and the buzzer 27 is used to provide sound feedback and security warnings. For example, when the user enters an incorrect password, an abnormal operation is detected, or there is an unauthorized unlocking attempt, the buzzer 27 will sound a warning to the user.

[0031] like Figure 4 、 5As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the protective mechanism 12 includes a U-shaped plate 13 arranged inside the front cover 1 of the door lock. Limiting sliders 22 are integrally provided on the left and right sides of the U-shaped plate 13. A limiting slot 21 is provided on the inner side wall of the front cover 1 of the door lock corresponding to the limiting slider 22. The limiting slot 21 is a T-shaped structural slot. The limiting slot 21 is adapted to the limiting slider 22. The limiting slider 22 slides smoothly in the limiting slot 21, which can effectively guide the movement direction of the U-shaped plate 13, ensure its movement trajectory is accurate, and improve the stability of the U-shaped plate 13 when it moves inside the front cover 1 of the door lock. Figure 1 、 4 As shown, rectangular limiting holes 18 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the front end cover 1 of the door lock, and a connecting plate 19 connected to the vertical end of the U-shaped plate 13 is provided in each rectangular limiting hole 18. A protective baffle 20 is provided on the front side of the front end cover 1 of the door lock, and the U-shaped plate 13 and the protective baffle 20 are connected to form a surrounding frame structure through the connecting plate 19. When the U-shaped plate 13 moves up and down, the protective baffle 20 can be driven to move together, thereby facilitating the opening or closing of the password sensing button 2 and the fingerprint identifier 3.

[0032] A small motor 16 is mounted on the inner wall of the front cover 1 of the door lock via a fixed plate 15. The small motor 16 is electrically connected to the microcontroller of the biometric identification device. A gear 2 17 is provided at the driving end of the small motor 16. A rack 14 is integrally provided on the inner side of the horizontal end of the U-shaped plate 13, meshing with the gear 2 17. The top and bottom ends of the rack 14 extend to the outside of the U-shaped plate 13 to extend the meshing stroke, ensuring that the U-shaped plate 13 slides to a position where the password sensing button 2 and the fingerprint reader 3 are completely exposed. When the biometric identification device successfully recognizes a person's face, the microcontroller of the biometric identification device drives the small motor 16 to operate, and the small motor 16 drives the gear 2 17 to rotate. When the gear 2 17 rotates, it engages the rack 14, driving the protective frame structure composed of the U-shaped plate 13, the connecting plate 19, and the protective baffle 20 to move downward along the rectangular limit hole 18, thereby facilitating the exposure of the password sensing button 2 and the fingerprint reader 3, allowing a person to open the door lock by entering the correct password or fingerprint.

[0033] Working principle: Under normal conditions, the protection mechanism 12 is closed, and the recognition camera 5 is facing the front of the gate. When a person approaches the recognition camera 5 and enters the scanning and recognition range, the recognition camera 5 will scan and recognize him. When the person is taller or shorter and his face is out of the scanning and recognition range of the recognition camera 5, the small drive motor 10 drives the gear 1 11 to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring 8 and the connecting shaft 2 7 to rotate, so that the recognition camera 5 can rotate up and down inside the U-shaped shell 4 to accommodate people of different heights. When the recognition camera 5 scans and recognizes the person's face and passes, The small motor 16 drives gear 2 17 to rotate. When gear 2 17 rotates, it drives the protective frame structure composed of the U-shaped plate 13, the connecting plate 19 and the protective baffle 20 to move downward along the rectangular limit hole 18 through the meshing rack 14, thereby facilitating the exposure of the password sensing button 2 and the fingerprint identifier 3, so that people can open the door lock by entering the correct password or fingerprint; on the contrary, when the recognition camera 5 scans and recognizes the person's face and fails, the protective baffle 20 will be in a closed state, which can prevent illegal personnel from trying to crack the password sensing button 2 and the fingerprint identifier 3 at will, thereby improving security.

[0034] The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. When a person approaches the scanning and recognition range of the recognition camera 5, the recognition camera 5 can automatically adjust the angle to scan and recognize the face without manual adjustment by the person, thereby improving efficiency and saving time, and having good overall practicality.
