Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of safe technology, specifically to an embedded safe and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Safes are used to store cash, jewelry, and other valuables. Existing safes, such as commercial safes, are usually placed indoors due to their large size. If a theft occurs, these safes are easy targets for thieves. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an embedded safe and a method for using it.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An embedded safe includes a cabinet and a door panel. The cabinet is embedded in a wall, and its side is connected to the wall by mounting screws. One side of the cabinet is connected to the door panel by a hinge, and a lock module is provided on the other side of the cabinet. The lock module includes a lock module housing connected to the cabinet. The surface of the lock module housing is provided with an operating interface. The lock module housing contains a control circuit board, a drive device, a locking device, and a power supply. The operating interface is connected to the control circuit board via a connecting wire, and the control circuit board is connected to the drive device via a connecting wire. The power supply provides power to the control circuit board and the drive device. The drive device and the locking device are connected by a connecting rod. A lock hole is machined on the lock module housing, and the locking device is located in the lock hole. A latch is connected to the side of the door panel away from the hinge. When the door panel is closed, the latch passes through the lock hole and is locked by the locking device.

[0005] Furthermore, the user interface includes a button panel and a fingerprint panel.

[0006] Furthermore, the driving device includes a motor, which is mounted inside the lock module housing via a motor bracket. A rotating wheel is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a connecting screw is connected to the side of the rotating wheel. A connecting rod flywheel is connected to the lock module housing. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the connecting rod flywheel, and a connecting arm is connected to the side of the connecting rod flywheel. When the motor is working, the connecting screw pushes the connecting arm. The locking device includes a pull-tab plate, a lock hook plate, and a lock buckle fixing plate. One end of the pull-tab plate is connected to the lock module housing via a first pin, and the other end of the pull-tab plate is connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting rod flywheel. The lock hook plate is located at the lock hole position, and one end of the lock hook plate is connected to the lock module housing via a second pin. A lock opening is machined on the lock hook plate. When the lock hook plate is flipped, the lock opening engages with the lock buckle.

[0007] Furthermore, the buckle plate is machined with a support step, and the tail of the hook plate is machined with a support boss. The buckle plate and the hook plate are connected by tension spring screws, and tension springs are connected between the tension spring screws. When the lock latches the buckle, the tension springs tighten the buckle plate, and the support step locks the support boss of the hook plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking plate is installed on pin one and pin two, a limit plate is machined on the side of the locking plate near the pull plate, a right-angle baffle is machined on the locking plate near the lock hole, and a limit post is connected in the middle of the locking plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the operation interface is also connected to a rotary latch lock, which is inserted into the lock module housing. A rotary latch plate is connected to the locking shaft of the rotary latch lock, and a lever is installed on the connecting rod corresponding to the position of the rotary latch plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the lock module housing is connected to both sides with equal-height brackets and clearance sleeves. The equal-height brackets are located on the surface of the lock module housing and support the door panel when it is closed. The clearance sleeves are connected inside the lock module housing, and the mounting screws on one side of the housing pass through the clearance sleeves and connect to the wall.

[0011] Furthermore, the box is equipped with a partition plate, and adjustment holes are evenly distributed on the back of the box. The partition plate is connected to the adjustment holes. Door latch plates are symmetrically connected to the inner side of the door panel, and hook plates are connected to the door latch plates. Hooks are machined on the hook plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the door panel is machined with a notch to avoid the operation interface.

[0013] A method for using an embedded safe: When the door is closed, the latch plate engages the lock. Unlocking is performed by entering a password via the button panel or by fingerprint unlocking via the fingerprint panel. After unlocking, the control circuit board activates the motor, causing the motor output shaft to rotate clockwise. This rotation drives a rotating wheel, and a connecting screw on the side of the rotating wheel contacts a connecting arm, pushing a connecting rod flywheel. The flywheel drives a connecting rod, which pulls a latch plate, disengaging the latch plate's support step from the support protrusion at the rear of the latch plate, thus unlocking the door. The door can then be opened. After opening, the motor output shaft rotates counterclockwise, driving the rotating wheel to rotate and return to the initial position. The connecting screw on the side of the rotating wheel disengages from the connecting arm, releasing the connecting rod and closing the door panel. The latch passes through the lock hole and engages in the lock slot, causing the lock hook plate to flip. Under the action of the tension spring, the support step of the latch plate engages with the support boss of the lock hook plate. When the button panel and fingerprint panel cannot unlock, the door is unlocked by rotating the latch lock. The rotating plate on the lock shaft of the rotating latch lock pushes the lever, causing the connecting rod to disengage the support step of the latch plate from the support boss at the tail of the lock hook plate, thus completing the unlocking.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an embedded safe and its method of use. The safe is embedded in the wall and can be concealed by objects, which can improve its concealment. It can be unlocked by both a button panel and a fingerprint panel. It is also equipped with a rotary lock for emergency opening, ensuring the safe is safe and reliable to use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] A lock module 9 is provided on the other side of the housing 1. The lock module 9 includes a lock module housing 10, which is connected inside the housing 1. The surface of the lock module housing 10 is provided with an operation interface, which includes a button panel 11 and a fingerprint panel 12. The buttons on the button panel 11 are represented by slashes. A notch 13 is machined on the door panel 2. When the door panel 2 is closed, the notch 13 on the door panel 2 avoids the operation interface, exposing the panel on the operation interface. Equal height brackets 14 and clearance sleeves 15 are connected to both sides of the lock module housing 10. The equal height brackets 14 are located on the surface of the lock module housing. When the door panel 2 is closed, the equal height brackets 14 support the door panel 2. The clearance sleeves 15 are connected inside the lock module housing 10. The mounting screws 3 on one side of the housing 1 pass through the clearance sleeves 15 and are connected to the wall.

[0019] The lock module housing 10 houses a control circuit board 16, a drive device 17, a locking device 18, and a power supply 19. The operating interface is connected to the control circuit board 16 via a connecting cable. The control circuit board 16 is installed inside the lock module housing 10 and is connected to the drive device 17 via a connecting cable. The power supply 19 is a replaceable battery, which is installed inside the lock module housing 10 via a battery box. The battery provides power to the control circuit board 16 and the drive device 17. The drive device 17 and the locking device 18 are connected via a connecting rod 20. The lock module housing 10 has a lock hole 21, and the locking device 18 is located inside the lock hole 21. A latch 22 is connected to the side of the door panel 1 away from the hinge. When the door panel 2 is closed, the latch 22 passes through the lock hole 21 and is locked by the locking device 18.

[0020] In this embodiment, the driving device 17 includes a motor 23, which is mounted inside the lock module housing 10 via a motor bracket. A rotating wheel 24 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 23, and a connecting screw 25 is connected to the side of the rotating wheel 24. A connecting rod flywheel 26 is rotatably connected to the lock module housing 10. One end of the connecting rod 20 is connected to the connecting rod flywheel 26, and a connecting arm 27 is connected to the side of the connecting rod flywheel 26. When the motor 23 is working, the connecting screw 25 on the rotating wheel 24 pushes the connecting arm 27, which in turn drives the connecting rod 20. The locking device 18 includes a pull-tab plate 28, a lock hook plate 29, and a lock buckle fixing plate 30. One end of the pull-tab plate 28 is connected to the lock module housing 10 via a pin 31. The other end of plate 28 is connected to the end of connecting rod 20 away from connecting rod flywheel 26. The lock hook plate 29 is set at lock hole position 21. One end of lock hook plate 29 is connected to lock module housing 10 through pin 2 32. Lock hook plate 29 has a lock opening 33. When lock hook plate 29 is flipped, lock opening 33 locks lock buckle 22. Pull buckle plate 28 has a support step 34. Lock hook plate 29 has a support boss 35 at the tail. Pull buckle plate 28 and lock hook plate 29 are connected with tension spring screws. Pull spring screws are connected between tension spring screws. When lock opening 33 locks lock buckle 22, tension spring 36 pulls pull buckle plate 28 tight. Support step 34 locks support boss 35 of lock hook plate 29 to prevent lock hook plate 29 from flipping and lock opening 33 locks lock buckle 22.

[0021] The locking plate 30 is installed on pin 1 31 and pin 2 32 by screws. The locking plate 30 is bent with a limiting plate 37 on the side near the pull plate 28. The limiting plate 37 blocks the pull plate 28. The locking plate 30 is machined with a right-angle baffle 38 near the lock hole 21. The locking plate 30 is connected in the middle with a limiting post 39. The limiting post 39 blocks the lock hook plate 29.

[0022] The operation interface is also connected to a rotary latch 40, which is inserted into the lock module housing. A rotary latch plate 41 is connected to the lock shaft of the rotary latch 40. A paddle 42 is installed on the connecting rod 20 corresponding to the rotary latch plate 41. When the battery is dead, the rotary latch 40 can be unlocked in an emergency to open the door panel 2.

[0023] During safe use, when door panel 2 is closed, the latch plate 29 engages with the latch 22. Unlocking is achieved by entering a password via the button panel 11 or by fingerprint unlocking via the fingerprint panel 12. After unlocking, the control circuit board 16 controls the motor 23 to operate, causing the motor output shaft to rotate clockwise. This rotation drives the rotating wheel 24, and the connecting screw 25 on the side of the rotating wheel 24 contacts the connecting arm 27, pushing the connecting rod flywheel 26. The connecting rod flywheel 26 drives the connecting rod 20, which pulls the latch plate 28, causing the support step 34 of the latch plate 28 to disengage from the support boss 35 at the tail of the latch plate 29, thus unlocking the safe. Door panel 2 can then be opened. After door panel 2 is opened, the motor output shaft rotates counterclockwise. The movement causes the rotating wheel 24 to rotate and return to its initial position. The connecting screw 25 on the side of the rotating wheel 24 disengages from the connecting arm 27, releasing the connecting rod 20 and closing the door panel 2. The latch 22 passes through the lock hole 21 and engages in the lock opening 33, pressing down on the lock opening 33 and causing the lock hook plate 29 to flip. Under the action of the tension spring 36, the support step 34 of the latch plate 28 engages again with the support boss 35 of the lock hook plate 29. When the button panel 11 and the fingerprint panel 12 cannot be unlocked, the latch lock 40 is used to unlock. The rotating tongue plate 41 on the lock shaft of the latch lock 40 pushes the lever 42, causing the connecting rod 20 to disengage the support step 34 of the latch plate 28 from the support boss 35 at the tail of the lock hook plate 29, thus completing the unlocking.
