Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a separate auxiliary electronic lock structure that can be quickly installed and unlocked via wireless signal transmission. Background Technology

[0002] Door locks are an essential component of every door panel, primarily for protecting the safety of residents' lives and property. However, most door locks currently in use, whether for interior or exterior doors, are key-operated mechanical locks. Key-operated locks are relatively inconvenient, leading to the rapid development of electronic locks. However, installing electronic locks on current door panels requires damaging the panel to open both the inner and outer sides to connect the wiring. Furthermore, screws or other moving parts are needed to mount the electronic lock onto the door lock bracket. Therefore, installation of existing electronic locks requires professional installation. For users who want to replace their door locks with electronic locks, this is often impossible due to the desire to avoid damaging the door panel.

[0003] Therefore, how to solve the problems and deficiencies of the existing technology is the direction that the inventors of this invention and related manufacturers in this industry urgently need to research and improve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a separate auxiliary electronic lock structure that can be quickly installed and unlocked via wireless signal transmission.

[0005] A secondary objective of this invention is to provide a separate auxiliary electronic lock structure that does not require damage to the door panel structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this invention, the following detailed description of the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of this invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] First, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shown is a combined schematic diagram and a block schematic diagram of the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of the present invention. The separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 is installed on a door panel 2. The separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 includes a panel device 10 and a latch device 11.

[0035] The panel device 10 is attached to an outer side 21 of the door panel 2. The panel device 10 includes a trigger module 101, a wireless signal transmitting module 102, and a panel power supply module 103. The trigger module 101 controls the trigger panel, and the trigger panel is signal-connected to the wireless signal transmitting module 102, which is a Bluetooth signal transmitter. In addition, the trigger panel is also electrically connected to the panel power supply module 103, which is a battery and provides power to the trigger module 101 and the wireless signal transmitting module 102.

[0036] The latching device 11 is attached to an inner side 22 of the door panel 2, and includes at least one latching control module 111, a wireless signal receiving module 112, a drive power supply module 123, and a latch module 114. In this embodiment, the latching control module 111 can be configured with two sets of modules, primarily to ensure that if one set of modules fails during operation, the other set can operate. Simultaneously, the latching control module 111's signal connection... The wireless signal receiving module 112 and the latch module 114 are described. The wireless signal receiving module 112 is a Bluetooth signal receiver. The latch control module 111 is also electrically connected to the latch power supply module 113. The latch power supply module 113 is a battery and provides power to the latch control module 111, the wireless signal receiving module 112, and the latch module 114. The latch module 114 is a movable latch object, and the latch module 114 can be disposed separately from or combined with the latch device 11.

[0037] Please see again Figure 3The diagram shows a block illustration of the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of the present invention. The panel device 10 is attached to the outer side 21 of the door panel 2, and the latch device 11 is attached to the inner side 22 of the door panel 2. The wireless signal transmitting module 102 of the panel device 10 and the wireless signal receiving module 112 of the latch device 11 are connected by a wireless Bluetooth signal. When the door panel 2 and a door frame 3 are locked together, the latch control module 111 of the latch device 11 controls the latch module 114 to move to the door frame 3, so as to lock the door panel 2 and the door frame 3 together through the latch module 114. The latch module 114 can be set separately inside or outside the door panel 2, or it can be combined with the latch device 11 and attached to the inner side 22 of the door panel 2. In this embodiment, the latch module 114 is set separately inside the door panel 2.

[0038] Additionally, when a user unlocks the panel device 10, the user first triggers the unlock using the trigger module 101, which generates an unlock trigger signal S1. This unlock trigger signal S1 is then transmitted to the wireless signal transmitting module 102, which wirelessly transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal receiving module 112. Upon receiving the unlock trigger signal S1, the wireless signal receiving module 112... Signal S1 is transmitted to the latch control module 111, which then generates a control signal S2 and controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3. In this way, the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 can be installed on the door panel 2 without damaging it. Furthermore, the panel device 10 and the latch device 11 can be directly attached to the outer side 21 and inner side 22 of the door panel 2 and transmit wireless signals, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation and unlocking via wireless signal transmission.

[0039] The wireless signal transmission relationship between the panel device 10 and the latching device 11 is as follows: the wireless signal transmitting module 102 of the panel device 10 generates an unlock trigger signal S1 by the trigger module 101, while the wireless signal receiving module 112 of the latching device 11 continuously receives the signal transmitted by the wireless signal transmitting module 102 at regular intervals.

[0040] Please see again Figure 4 and Figure 5The diagram shows a combined schematic and a block diagram of another separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of the present invention. The separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 further includes a driving device 12, which is attached to the inner side 22 of the door panel 2. The driving device 12 and the panel device 10 are arranged in a straight line. The driving device 12 includes at least one driving control module 121, a wireless signal communication module 122, and a driving power supply module 123. In this embodiment, the driving power supply module 123 can be configured... The two modules primarily power the drive device 12 during operation. If one module fails, the other module can take over. The wireless signal communication module 122 is a Bluetooth signal communicator. The drive control module 121 is also electrically connected to the drive power supply module 123, which is a battery that provides power to the drive control module 121 and the wireless signal communication module 122.

[0041] The latching device 11 also includes a handle 115, which is connected to the latching control module 111.

[0042] Please see again Figure 6The diagram shown is a block illustration of another separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of the present invention. The panel device 10 is attached to the outer side 21 of the door panel 2, and the drive device 12 and latching device 11 are attached to the inner side 22 of the door panel 2. The wireless signal transmitting module 102 of the panel device 10 is connected to the wireless signal communication module 122 of the drive device 12 via Bluetooth. Simultaneously, the wireless signal communication module 122 of the drive device 12 is also connected to the wireless signal receiving module 112 of the latching device 11 via Bluetooth. The door panel 2 and... When the door frame 3 is locked together, the latch control module 111 of the latch device 11 controls the latch module 114 to move to the door frame 3, so as to lock the door panel 2 to the door frame 3 through the latch module 114. When the user unlocks the door using the panel device 10, the user first triggers the unlocking using the trigger module 101, which generates the unlocking trigger signal S1. This unlocking trigger signal S1 is then transmitted to the wireless signal transmitting module 102, which wirelessly transmits the unlocking trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal transmitter. The wireless signal communication module 122 receives the unlock trigger signal S1 and then transmits it to the drive control module 121. The drive control module 121 receives and interprets the unlock trigger signal S1. If it determines that the unlock trigger signal S1 is a correct unlock signal, it transmits it back to the wireless signal communication module 122, which then transmits it wirelessly. The signal receiving module 112 transmits its unlock trigger signal S1 to the latch control module 111, which then generates the control signal S2 and controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3. In this way, the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 can be installed on the door panel 2 without damaging it. Furthermore, the panel device 10 and the latch device 11 can be directly attached to the outer side 21 and inner side 22 of the door panel 2 and transmit wireless signals, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation and unlocking via wireless signal transmission.

[0043] If the user operates the handle from the inside side 22 of the door panel 2 to open the door panel 2, the latch control module 111 receives the rotation or actuation of the handle, generates the control signal, and controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3.

[0044] Please see again Figure 7The diagram shows another implementation of the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of the present invention. In this embodiment, the latch module 114 can be installed separately inside or outside the door panel 2, or it can be assembled with the drive device 2. The choice between installing it separately or in combination depends on the type of door panel 2 and door frame. For example, it is installed separately for door panels of general doors, or it is assembled with door panels of Japanese-style rooms. The latch module 114 is assembled with the drive device 2 and attached to the inner side 22 of the door panel 2. When the door panel 2 and the door frame 3 are locked together, the latch control module 111 of the latch device 11 controls the latch module 114 to move to the door frame 3, thereby locking the door panel 2 to the door frame 3 through the latch module 114. When the user unlocks the door, the trigger module 101 generates the unlock trigger signal S1, which is then transmitted to the wireless signal transmitting module 102 and wirelessly transmitted to the wireless signal communication module 122. The wireless signal communication module 122 receives the unlock trigger signal. After signal S1, the wireless signal communication module 122 transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the drive control module 121. The drive control module 121 receives the unlock trigger signal S1 and interprets it. If the drive control module 121 determines that the unlock trigger signal S1 is a correct unlock signal, it transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal communication module 122. The wireless signal communication module 122 then transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal receiving module 112. The receiving module 112 transmits its unlock trigger signal S1 to the latch control module 111, which then generates the control signal S2 and controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3. In this way, the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 can be installed on the door panel 2 without damaging it, and the panel device 10 and the latch device 11 can be directly attached to the outer side 21 and inner side 22 of the door panel 2 and transmit wireless signals, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation and unlocking via wireless signal transmission.

[0045] Please see again Figure 8The diagram shows a combination of a separate auxiliary electronic lock structure with a sensing module according to the present invention. The latching device 11 further includes a sensing module 116, and a baffle 31 is provided on the top of the door frame 3. The sensing module 116 can be a laser ranging module or a solenoid valve sensing module. In this embodiment, a laser ranging module is used. The sensing module is electrically connected to the latching control module 111 and the sensing distance to the baffle 31 is determined by a laser. The sensing distance can be determined by the latching control module. The system is configured such that when the door panel 2 is closed, the sensing module 116 continuously illuminates the baffle 31; conversely, when the door panel 2 is open, the sensing module 116 cannot illuminate the baffle 31. If the latch control module 111 determines that the sensing module has not illuminated the baffle 31 for a set time, the latch control module 111 can wirelessly transmit an alarm signal to the user's mobile phone application, and the user can then receive an alarm message from the mobile phone that the door panel 2 is not properly closed.

[0046] Please see again Figure 9The diagram shows a block illustration of another separate auxiliary electronic lock structure with voice function according to the present invention. The panel device 10 further includes an external voice module 104, and the latching device 11 further includes a storage module 117 and an internal voice module 118. The storage module 117 stores a database of proximity codes corresponding to multiple proximity cards. When a user unlocks the panel device 10 using a proximity card, the user first triggers the unlocking using the trigger module 101. The trigger module 101 then generates the unlocking trigger signal S1, which is transmitted to the wireless signal transmitting module 102. The wireless signal transmitting module 102 then wirelessly transmits the unlocking trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal communication module 122. After receiving the unlocking trigger signal S1, the wireless signal communication module 122 transmits the unlocking trigger signal S1 to the drive control module 121. The drive control module 121 then... The drive control module 121 receives and interprets the unlock trigger signal S1. If the unlock trigger signal S1 matches the sensor database stored in the storage module 117, it is considered a correct unlock signal. The drive control module 121 then transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal communication module 122. The wireless signal communication module 122 then transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal receiving module 112, which then transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wireless signal receiving module 112. The signal is transmitted to the latch control module 111, which generates the control signal S2 and controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3. In this way, the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure 1 can be installed on the door panel 2 without damaging the door panel 2. The panel device 10 and the latch device 11 can be directly attached to the outer side 21 and inner side 22 of the door panel 2 and transmit wireless signals, thereby achieving the effect of quick installation and unlocking via wireless signal transmission.

[0047] The external voice module 104 of the panel device 10 and the internal voice module 118 of the latch device 11 can be a microphone and a speaker, respectively. Therefore, the panel device 10 and the latch device 11 can communicate with each other inside and outside the door through the external voice module 104 and the internal voice module 118. At the same time, the wireless signal communication module 122 can be connected to the user's mobile phone application. The user's mobile phone can use the application to send voice to the storage module 117 of the latch device 11 and specify the corresponding PIN card. When the user with the PIN card controls the latch module 114 to leave the door frame 3, the internal voice module 118 of the latch device 11 can play its voice for the user who just entered the door to hear.

[0048] The application can also send a warning message to the wireless signal communication module 122 in the event of an accident, so that the warning message can be played simultaneously by the external voice module 104 and the internal voice module 118 to inform that an accident has occurred.

[0049] The panel device 10 may also be equipped with a sensor display screen, which allows users to unlock the device using password, fingerprint, face recognition, or other unlocking methods when they do not have a card. The sensor display screen can also be wirelessly updated or replaced by the user's application.

[0050] The panel device 10 may also be equipped with an image reading module, which mainly reads images of barcodes such as QR-CODEs. This allows users to obtain QR-CODEs via a mobile application. The method for obtaining a QR-CODE is as follows: the user first logs into the server using the application and requests a QR-CODE. The server then sends the QR-CODE to the requesting user's application. The user can then have the image reading module read the obtained QR-CODE and obtain an image signal. The panel device 10 then transmits the image signal wirelessly. Module 102 wirelessly transmits the signal to wireless signal communication module 122, and the drive device 12 then transmits the image signal back to the server. The server determines whether the image signal is a correct barcode image and whether the barcode image has expired. If the image signal is a correct barcode image, the server transmits an unlock trigger signal S1 back to the drive device 12. The drive control module 121 transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the latch control module 111, which then generates the control signal S2 and controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3.

[0051] The panel device 10 and the latch device 11 can be directly attached to the outer side 21 and inner side 22 of the door panel 2, and the outer shell for assembling the panel device 10 and the latch device 11 with the door panel can be purchased and replaced by the user.

[0052] Please see again Figure 10The diagram shown is another block diagram of the separate auxiliary electronic lock structure of the present invention. The driving device 12 may also be provided with a wired signal communication module 124, while the latching device 11 is provided with a wired signal receiving module 119. The wired signal communication module 124 and the wired signal receiving module 119 are configured with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) hardware interface, such as Type-C. The wired signal communication module 124 is electrically connected to the wired signal receiving module 119 and the driving control module 121. The wired signal communication module 124 is electrically connected to the latch control module 111. When the drive control module 121 receives and interprets the unlock trigger signal S1 and then transmits it to the wired signal communication module 124, the wired signal communication module 124 then transmits the unlock trigger signal S1 to the wired signal receiving module 119. The wired signal receiving module 119 receives the unlock trigger signal S1 and transmits it to the latch control module 111. The latch control module 111 then controls the latch module 114 to disengage from the door frame 3.
