Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of telecommunications technology, specifically relating to transmission control equipment, and more particularly to an intelligent lock system, its usage method, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional lock bodies only have the functions of opening and closing the door and locking the deadbolt. All actions require a motor and manual operation of the handle to achieve normal function. At the same time, the lock body cannot actively determine the door lock's own open status and thus report it autonomously.

[0003] Traditional lock bodies are prone to accidental triggering and popping out, causing users to hit the door frame directly when closing the door. Furthermore, traditional lock bodies can malfunction when closing the door, such as when the spring fails and the door cannot be closed properly.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new intelligent lock system, usage method, storage medium, and program product to solve the technical problems of how traditional lock bodies cannot determine their own status, are prone to accidental triggering, and affect security after malfunctions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides at least one smart lock system, a method of use, a storage medium, and a program product.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide an intelligent lock system, comprising: a control module, a sensing and detection module, and a drive module; wherein the sensing and detection module and the drive module are electrically connected to the control module, the sensing and detection module is installed on the door lock, and the drive module is connected to the door lock; the sensing and detection module acquires the opening and closing status information of the door lock; and the control module controls the drive module to drive the door lock to lock or unlock.

[0007] Specifically, the control module is the core, responsible for receiving signals from the sensing and detection module, processing logic, and sending instructions to the driver module, and communicating with the mobile device through the communication module.

[0008] In one optional implementation, the sensing module includes: a first detection sensor; the first detection sensor is installed on the latch of the door lock, the first detection sensor is electrically connected to the control module, and the door lock's strike plate is provided with contacts; the control module detects the open / closed status information of the door lock through the first detection sensor.

[0009] Specifically, the door lock also has a latch and a deadbolt. The first detection sensor can be set on the latch, latch, and deadbolt to detect the open and closed state of the latch, latch, and deadbolt.

[0010] Specifically, the drive module is used to receive instructions from the control module and drive the mechanical movements of the bolt, latch, and deadbolt to achieve automatic locking or unlocking.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the sensing module includes: a handle detection unit; the handle detection unit is mounted on the door handle and electrically connected to the control module; when the door lock is in the closed state and the handle detection unit senses a grip signal, the control module sends a door lock open signal to the drive module; when the door lock is in the open state and the handle detection unit senses the grip signal disappear, the control module sends a door lock attitude hold signal to the drive module; when the door lock is in the open state and the handle detection unit senses the grip signal again, the control module sends a door lock about to close signal to the drive module.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the handle detection unit includes: a second detection sensor; the second detection sensor is mounted on the door handle and is electrically connected to the control module; the control module acquires a grip signal or a grip signal disappearance signal through the second detection sensor.

[0013] Specifically, the second detection sensor can be an infrared sensor, a pressure sensor, a capacitive sensing sensor, etc.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, the drive module includes a rotary motor and a rotary shaft; the latch of the door lock has an installation groove, and the positioning tongue of the door lock is installed in the installation groove through the rotary motor and the rotary shaft. The rotary shaft passes through the positioning tongue, and the rotary motor is connected to the rotary shaft; the rotary motor is electrically connected to the control module; the control module sends a corresponding control signal to the rotary motor to drive the rotary motor to rotate the rotary shaft and the positioning tongue by a corresponding angle, that is, to realize that the positioning tongue is completely retracted in the installation groove or the positioning tongue is exposed in the installation groove.

[0015] In one optional implementation, when the control module sends a door lock open signal to the rotary motor, the rotary motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate toward the mounting groove via the rotating shaft, so that the positioning tongue separates from the upper limit member of the door lock's latch plate; when the control module sends a door lock posture hold signal to the rotary motor, the rotary motor increases torque to temporarily fix the rotating shaft and the positioning tongue; when the control module sends a door lock close signal to the rotary motor, the rotary motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate toward the mounting groove via the rotating shaft until the positioning tongue is completely retracted into the mounting groove, and after waiting for a set time, the rotary motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate toward the outside of the mounting groove via the rotating shaft.

[0016] In one alternative implementation, when the latch is fully inserted into the strike plate, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate outward toward the mounting groove via the rotating shaft until the positioning tongue abuts against the upper limit member of the door lock's strike plate.

[0017] In one optional embodiment, when the latch is not fully inserted into the snap plate, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate outward of the mounting groove via the rotating shaft, and when the positioning tongue abuts against the upper limit member of the snap plate of the door lock, the force of the positioning tongue and the limit member pulls the latch into the snap plate until the latch is fully inserted into the snap plate.

[0018] On the other hand, this disclosure also provides a method of using the smart lock system as described above, which includes: when the control module sends a door lock open signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate toward the mounting groove through the rotating shaft, so as to separate the positioning tongue from the upper limit member of the door lock's strike plate; when the control module sends a door lock posture hold signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor increases the torque to temporarily fix the rotating shaft and the positioning tongue; when the control module sends a door lock close signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate toward the mounting groove through the rotating shaft until the positioning tongue is completely retracted into the mounting groove, and after waiting for a set time, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate toward the outside of the mounting groove through the rotating shaft.

[0019] In one optional implementation, when the latch is fully inserted into the strike plate, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate outward toward the mounting groove via the rotating shaft until the positioning tongue abuts against the upper limit stop of the door lock's strike plate; when the latch is not fully inserted into the strike plate, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue to rotate outward toward the mounting groove via the rotating shaft, and when the positioning tongue abuts against the upper limit stop of the door lock's strike plate, the force of the positioning tongue and the limit stop pulls the latch into the strike plate until the latch is fully inserted into the strike plate.

[0020] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program / instructions thereon, characterized in that the computer program / instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0021] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer program product, including a computer program / instructions, characterized in that the computer program / instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are that by adding a control module, a sensor detection module, and a drive module to the traditional lock body, this invention can automatically detect the open and closed status of the door lock, realize the autonomous reporting function, overcome the problem of false triggering, avoid the door lock colliding with the door frame and affecting its service life, and temporarily ensure that the door lock closes tightly when the door lock malfunctions, thus improving the safety of use.

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Definition: The bolt is one of the main components of a door lock, used to insert into the strike plate on the door frame to lock the door; when the bolt is pushed out, the door is locked; when the bolt is retracted, the door can be opened.

[0041] Research has revealed that locks are installed using fixed openings, especially security doors, which already have fixed installation space on the door. If a pusher (push rod, telescopic motor, etc.) is to be installed directly at the tail of the lock body, the hole needs to be enlarged on the security door, affecting the structure of the security door itself. In other words, it is not possible to directly install a pusher (push rod, telescopic motor, etc.) at the tail of the lock body.

[0042] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0043] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, at least one embodiment provides an intelligent lock system, which includes: a control module, a sensing and detection module, and a drive module; wherein the sensing and detection module and the drive module are electrically connected to the control module, the sensing and detection module is installed on the door lock, and the drive module is connected to the door lock; the sensing and detection module acquires the open and closed status information of the door lock; and the control module controls the drive module to drive the door lock to lock or unlock.

[0045] In at least one embodiment, by adding a control module, a sensor detection module, and a drive module to the traditional lock body, the open and closed status of the door lock can be automatically detected, the autonomous reporting function can be realized, the problem of false triggering can be overcome, the door lock can avoid collision with the door frame and affect its service life, and when the door lock malfunctions, it can also temporarily ensure that the door is closed tightly, thus improving the safety of use.

[0046] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The sensing and detection module includes: a first detection sensor; the first detection sensor is installed on the latch 1 of the door lock, the first detection sensor is electrically connected to the control module, and the door lock has contacts on the strike plate 4; the control module detects the open and closed status information of the door lock through the first detection sensor.

[0047] Specifically, when the door lock is in the closed state, the first detection sensor sends a sensing contact signal to the control module; when the door lock is in the open state, the first detection sensor sends a no-sensing contact signal to the control module.

[0048] In at least one embodiment, the sensing module includes: a handle detection unit; the handle detection unit is mounted on the door handle and electrically connected to the control module; when the door lock is in the closed state and the handle detection unit senses a grip signal, the control module sends a door lock open signal to the drive module; when the door lock is in the open state and the handle detection unit senses the grip signal disappear, the control module sends a door lock attitude hold signal to the drive module; when the door lock is in the open state and the handle detection unit senses the grip signal again, the control module sends a door lock about to close signal to the drive module.

[0049] Specifically, when the door lock is in the closed state and the handle detection unit senses the grip signal, it indicates that the door needs to be opened. At this time, the control module automatically sends a door lock open signal to the drive module to realize the automatic door opening function.

[0050] Since the latch 1 is installed through the drive module, the door lock needs the drive module to drive the latch 1 to move mechanically so that the door lock can open. At this time, the latch 1 is in the retracted state. Touching the latch 1 may easily trigger the closing action, which will cause the drive module to push the latch 1 out. If the user forgets that the latch 1 has been pushed out and closes the door directly, the pushed-out latch 1 will collide with the door frame, affecting the service life of the door lock. However, by judging that the door lock is in the open state and the handle detection unit senses that the grip signal has disappeared, the drive module executes the door lock posture hold signal to temporarily fix the latch 1, so that the latch 1 will not be triggered to push out.

[0051] Specifically, when the door lock is in the open state and the handle detection unit senses the grip signal again, it indicates that the door needs to be closed. At this time, the control module automatically sends a door lock closing signal to the drive module and executes the corresponding door closing command.

[0052] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The handle detection unit includes: a second detection sensor; the second detection sensor is installed on the door handle and is electrically connected to the control module; the control module acquires a grip signal or a grip signal disappearance signal through the second detection sensor.

[0053] Specifically, the second detection sensor can be an infrared sensor, a capacitive sensor, a pressure sensor, etc., to determine whether the handle is being gripped.

[0054] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 6The drive module includes a rotary motor and a rotary shaft 3. The latch 1 of the door lock has an installation groove 11. The positioning tongue 2 of the door lock is installed in the installation groove 11 through the rotary motor and the rotary shaft 3. The rotary shaft 3 passes through the positioning tongue 2, and the rotary motor is connected to the rotary shaft 3. The rotary motor is electrically connected to the control module. The control module sends a corresponding control signal to the rotary motor to drive the rotary motor to rotate the rotary shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2 by a corresponding angle, that is, to realize that the positioning tongue 2 is completely retracted in the installation groove 11 or the positioning tongue 2 is exposed in the installation groove 11.

[0055] Specifically, the rotating motor can drive the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the posture of the positioning tongue 2 and the locking tongue 1.

[0056] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 At this time, the rotating motor drives the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2 to rotate until the positioning tongue 2 is completely retracted into the mounting groove 11.

[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 At this time, the rotating motor drives the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2 to rotate until the positioning tongue 2 is exposed in the mounting groove 11.

[0058] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 At this time, the rotating motor drives the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2 to rotate until the positioning tongue 2 is exposed in the mounting groove 11.

[0059] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figures 7 to 9 When the control module sends a door lock open signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate towards the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3, so that the positioning tongue 2 separates from the upper limit member 5 of the door lock's latch plate 4; when the control module sends a door lock posture hold signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor increases torque to temporarily fix the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2; when the control module sends a door lock close signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate towards the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3 until the positioning tongue 2 is completely retracted into the mounting groove 11, and after waiting for a set time, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward from the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3.

[0060] Specifically, when the door lock is in the closed state, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the control module sends a door lock open signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate towards the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3, so that the positioning tongue 2 separates from the upper limit piece 5 of the door lock's strike plate 4, that is, the positioning tongue 2 is completely retracted into the mounting groove 11. Figure 4 As shown, other components of the drive module can push the latch 1 to open the door.

[0061] Specifically, when the door lock is in the open state, the rotating motor increases the torque to temporarily fix the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2. Therefore, the positioning tongue 2 will not be triggered, and thus will not trigger the action of other components of the drive module, ensuring that the lock tongue 1 is in the retracted state.

[0062] In at least one embodiment, when the latch 1 is fully inserted into the snap plate 4, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward toward the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3 until the positioning tongue 2 abuts against the upper limit member 5 of the snap plate 4 of the door lock.

[0063] Specifically, when the control module sends a signal to the rotary motor that the door lock is about to close, the rotary motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate towards the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3 until the positioning tongue 2 is completely retracted into the mounting groove 11, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, after waiting for a set time (which can be 15 seconds), the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward toward the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3, as... Figure 5 As shown, this achieves the door closing action.

[0064] In at least one embodiment, when the latch 1 is not fully inserted into the snap plate 4, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward toward the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3, and when the positioning tongue 2 abuts against the upper limit member 5 of the snap plate 4 of the door lock, the force of the positioning tongue 2 and the limit member 5 pulls the latch 1 into the snap plate 4 until the latch 1 is fully inserted into the snap plate 4.

[0065] Specifically, if the door lock is not fully closed (the bolt 1 enters the strike plate 4 but not completely), after waiting for a set time (which can be 15 seconds), the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward from the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3. After the positioning tongue 2 abuts against the upper limit member 5 of the door lock's strike plate 4, the force of the positioning tongue 2 and the upper limit member 5 pulls the bolt 1 into the strike plate 4 until the bolt 1 is fully inserted into the strike plate 4. Figure 5 As shown, however, due to the resistance, the time taken for a faulty door lock to close is longer than that taken for a non-faulty door lock to close. Therefore, the control module can determine that the door lock has malfunctioned and report it.

[0066] Specifically, in the case of a general malfunction, positioning tongue 2 can perform the following: Figure 5 When the door lock malfunctions (limiting component 5 wears down), the positioning tongue 2 cannot push the locking tongue 1 into place, and the control module does not receive information from the sensing module. In this case, the control module drives the rotating motor to complete the following actions: Figure 6 The action drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate within the latch plate 4 until the positioning tongue 2 is limited by the latch plate 4, thus closing the door tightly in the event of a door lock malfunction.

[0067] Specifically, to ensure safety when opening and closing doors, you should hold the door handle and avoid improper operation, such as kicking the door.

[0068] Based on the same technical concept, at least one embodiment also provides a method of using the intelligent lock system as described above, which includes: when the control module sends a door lock open signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate toward the mounting groove 11 through the rotating shaft 3, so that the positioning tongue 2 is separated from the upper limit member 5 of the door lock's strike plate 4; when the control module sends a door lock posture hold signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor increases the torque to temporarily fix the rotating shaft 3 and the positioning tongue 2; when the control module sends a door lock close signal to the rotating motor, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate toward the mounting groove 11 through the rotating shaft 3 until the positioning tongue 2 is completely retracted into the mounting groove 11, and after waiting for a set time, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate toward the outside of the mounting groove 11 through the rotating shaft 3.

[0069] In at least one embodiment, when the latch 1 is fully inserted into the snap plate 4, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward toward the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3 until the positioning tongue 2 abuts against the upper limit member 5 of the snap plate 4 of the door lock; when the latch 1 is not fully inserted into the snap plate 4, the rotating motor drives the positioning tongue 2 to rotate outward toward the mounting groove 11 via the rotating shaft 3, and when the positioning tongue 2 abuts against the upper limit member 5 of the snap plate 4 of the door lock, the force of the positioning tongue 2 and the limit member 5 pulls the latch 1 into the snap plate 4 until the latch 1 is fully inserted into the snap plate 4.

[0070] Based on the same technical concept, at least one embodiment also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program / instructions thereon, characterized in that the computer program / instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0071] Based on the same technical concept, at least one embodiment also provides a computer program product, including a computer program / instructions, characterized in that the computer program / instructions, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the above-described method.

[0072] In summary, by adding a control module, a sensor detection module, and a drive module to the traditional lock body, this invention can automatically detect the open and closed status of the door lock, realize the autonomous reporting function, overcome the problem of false triggering, avoid the door lock colliding with the door frame and affecting its service life, and temporarily ensure that the door lock closes tightly when the door lock malfunctions, thus improving the safety of use.

[0073] The disclosures and other solutions, examples, embodiments, modules, and functional operations described in this document can be implemented in digital electronic circuits, or computer software, firmware, or hardware, including the structures disclosed in this document and their structural equivalents, or combinations thereof. The disclosures and other embodiments can be implemented as one or more computer program products, i.e., one or more modules of computer program instructions encoded on a tangible and non-volatile computer-readable medium for execution by a data processing apparatus or for controlling the operation of the data processing apparatus. The computer-readable medium can be a machine-readable storage device, a machine-readable storage substrate, a storage device, a material composition that influences machine-readable propagated signals, or one or more of these. The terms "data processing unit" or "data processing apparatus" include all means, devices, and machines for processing data, including, for example, programmable processors, computers, or multiprocessors or computer groups. In addition to hardware, the apparatus may also include code that creates an execution environment for a computer program, such as code constituting processor firmware, a protocol stack, a database management system, an operating system, or combinations thereof. The propagated signals are artificially generated signals, such as machine-generated electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signals, which are generated to encode information for transmission to a suitable receiver device.

[0074] Computer programs (also known as programs, software, software applications, scripts, or code) can be written in any programming language (including compiled or interpreted languages) and can be deployed in any form, including as standalone programs or as modules, components, subroutines, or other units suitable for use in a computing environment. A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file in a file system. A program can be stored in a portion of a file that holds other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored in a markup language document), in a single file dedicated to that program, or in multiple coordinating files (e.g., a file storing one or more modules, subroutines, or portions of code). Computer programs can be deployed and executed on one or more computers located at a single site or distributed across multiple sites interconnected by a communication network.

[0075] The processing and logic flows described in this document can be executed by one or more programmable processors that execute one or more computer programs to perform functions by manipulating input data and generating outputs. The processing and logic flows can also be executed by special-purpose logic circuitry, and the devices can be implemented as special-purpose logic circuitry, such as FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) or ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits).

[0076] For example, processors suitable for executing computer programs include general-purpose and special-purpose microprocessors, as well as any one or more of any type of digital computer. Typically, the processor receives instructions and data from read-only memory or random access memory, or both. The basic components of a computer are a processor that executes instructions and one or more storage devices that store the instructions and data. Typically, a computer will also include one or more mass storage devices for storing data, such as magnetic disks, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks, or operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to mass storage devices, or both. However, a computer does not necessarily have such devices. Computer-readable media suitable for storing computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, media, and memory devices, including, for example, semiconductor memory devices such as erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, such as internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and optical disc read-only memory (CD ROM) and digital versatile optical disc read-only memory (DVD-ROM). The processor and memory may be supplemented by dedicated logic circuitry or incorporated into dedicated logic circuitry.
