[0030] The utility model provides an electronic faucet lock, comprising a driving mechanism, an actuator, and a control mechanism. The driving mechanism adopts a motor. The actuator comprises a transmission assembly and a lock tongue movement assembly. The lock tongue movement assembly comprises a lock tongue and a lock tongue slider. The lock tongue is fixedly installed on the top of the lock tongue slider. The transmission assembly comprises a worm, a worm wheel, a U-shaped block and a double torsion spring. One end of the worm is connected to the output end of the micro motor, and the other end of the worm is meshed with the worm wheel. The fixed end of the U-shaped block is coaxially installed with the worm wheel, and the free end extends into a first groove provided on the lock tongue slider. The double torsion spring is coaxially installed with the worm wheel and the U-shaped block. The control mechanism is electrically connected to the motor and is used for receiving an unlocking signal / locking signal, so as to control the motor to drive the worm and the worm wheel to rotate. The U-shaped block rotates following the worm wheel, and the free end of the U-shaped block drives the lock tongue slider and the lock tongue to move downward to unlock / move upward to lock.
[0031] The utility model also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body, a remote control key and the above-mentioned electronic faucet lock, wherein the electronic faucet lock is installed on the vehicle body, and the remote control key is used to send an unlocking signal or a locking signal. After the control mechanism of the electronic faucet lock receives the unlocking signal or the locking signal, the control mechanism of the electronic faucet lock controls the motor to start, thereby driving the transmission component to move, so as to drive the lock tongue to move downward to unlock or upward to lock.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an electronic faucet lock, including a driving mechanism, an actuator, and a control mechanism. The driving mechanism adopts a micro motor, and the actuator includes a transmission assembly and a lock tongue movement assembly 300. The lock tongue movement assembly 300 includes a lock tongue 310 and a lock tongue slider 320. The lock tongue 310 is fixedly installed on the top of the lock tongue slider 320. Specifically, the top of the lock tongue slider 320 is provided with a mounting groove, and the bottom of the lock tongue 310 is provided with a protrusion, which is installed in the mounting groove. The motor 100 rotates to drive the transmission assembly to move, and the transmission assembly drives the lock tongue movement assembly 300 to descend or rise, thereby unlocking or locking.
[0034] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a worm 210, a worm wheel 220, a U-shaped block 230 and a double torsion spring 240. One end of the worm 210 is connected to the output end of the motor 100, and the other end of the worm 210 is meshed with the worm wheel 220. The fixed end of the U-shaped block 230 is coaxially installed with the worm wheel 220 (the U-shaped block 230 can rotate synchronously with the worm wheel 220), and the free end of the U-shaped block 230 extends into the first groove 321 provided on the lock tongue slider 320. The first groove 321 is provided on the side of the lock tongue slider 320 close to the U-shaped block 230. Figure 1As shown, after the control mechanism receives the unlocking signal from the outside, the control motor 100 starts to rotate in the forward direction to drive the worm 210 to rotate synchronously, and the worm 210 thereby drives the worm wheel 220 to rotate in the first direction ( Figure 1 The U-shaped block 230 rotates synchronously with the worm gear 220 (clockwise), and the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 abuts against the bottom end of the first groove 321, thereby driving the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move linearly downward to complete unlocking.
[0035] After receiving the external locking signal, the control mechanism controls the motor 100 to start and rotate in the reverse direction to drive the worm 210 to rotate synchronously, and the worm 210 thereby drives the worm wheel 220 to rotate in the second direction ( Figure 1 The U-shaped block 230 rotates synchronously with the worm gear 220 (counterclockwise), and the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 abuts against the top of the first groove 321, thereby driving the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move linearly upward to complete the locking.
[0036] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism also includes a double torsion spring 240, which is coaxially installed with the worm gear 220 and the U-shaped block 230. When the worm gear 220 rotates, it drives the double torsion spring 240 to rotate and contract, thereby offsetting the inertial overshoot of the motor 100 and avoiding functional failure caused by the stalled motor 100. At the same time, when a foreign object blocks the lock tongue 310, the locking command can still be executed, and after removing the blocking object, the lock tongue 310 automatically pops out under the elastic force of the double torsion spring 240 to complete the vehicle locking, so there is no need to send the locking command repeatedly.
[0037] Furthermore, when there is an obstruction at the position where the lock tongue 310 pops out, the motor 100 cannot drive the lock tongue 310 to pop out, and the double torsion spring 240 provides a buffer space for the rotation of the motor 100, which is beneficial to protecting the motor 100.
[0038] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first groove 321 is provided in the middle of the side of the locking tongue slider 320. The perpendicular midline of the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 passes through the axis of the fixed end of the U-shaped block 230 (the straight line where the rotation center is located), and the U-shaped block 230 has a lower self-locking position. A lower limit surface 322 is provided at the bottom end of the first groove 321. The lower limit surface 322 is an inclined plane and is parallel to the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 when it is in the lower self-locking position. When the electronic faucet lock is unlocked, the U-shaped block finally stops at the lower self-locking position.
[0039] Specifically, the bottom end surface of the first groove 321 includes two planes of different heights and an inclined surface connecting the two planes, which is the lower limit surface 322. The inclination direction of the lower limit surface 322 is inclined from the direction close to the U-shaped block 230 to the direction away from the U-shaped block 230. When the worm gear 220 drives the U-shaped block 230 to rotate, the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 contacts the lower limit surface 322, thereby driving the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move downward to unlock. After reaching the unlocking position (lower self-locking position), the U-shaped block 230 continues to rotate relative to the lower limit surface 322, and the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 finally abuts against the lower limit surface in parallel. At this time, the force of the lower limit surface 322 on the U-shaped block 230 passes through the fixed end (rotation center) of the U-shaped block 230. Therefore, the force exerted by the lower limit surface 322 on the U-shaped block 230 cannot drive the U-shaped block 230 to rotate, thereby realizing the self-locking function, so as to prevent the lock tongue slider 320 from moving upward due to vibration or other reasons during the operation of the vehicle (in the unlocked state), causing the lock tongue 310 to pop out, thereby causing the dangerous situation of locking the front of the vehicle. In addition, the structure of the lower limit surface 322 can ensure that after the lock tongue slider 320 reaches the unlocked position, the U-shaped block 230 cannot continue to rotate clockwise, thereby preventing the unlocking failure.
[0040] It is worth noting that the U-shaped block 230 drives the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move downward and can pass the lower self-locking position. At this time, the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 contacts the plane below the lower limit surface 322. When the lock tongue slider 320 moves upward under the action of an external force, it will drive the U-shaped block 230 to rotate slightly until the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 contacts the lower limit surface 322 in parallel (the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 is completely overlapped on the lower limit surface), so that the U-shaped block 230 reaches the lower self-locking position. When the U-shaped block 230 reaches the lower self-locking position, the lock tongue slider 320 cannot move under the action of an external force.
[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the U-shaped block 230 also has an upper self-locking position. An upper limit surface 323 is provided at the top of the first groove 321. The upper limit surface 323 is an inclined plane and is parallel to the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 when it is in the upper self-locking position. When the electronic faucet lock is locked, the U-shaped block 230 finally stops at the upper self-locking position or stops after passing the upper self-locking position.
[0042] Specifically, the top surface of the first groove 321 includes two planes of different heights and an inclined surface connecting the two planes, which is the upper limit surface 323, and the inclination direction of the upper limit surface 323 is opposite to the inclination direction of the lower limit surface 322. When the worm gear 220 drives the U-shaped block 230 to rotate, the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 contacts the upper limit surface 323, thereby driving the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move upward and lock. After reaching the locked position (upper self-locking position), the U-shaped block 230 continues to rotate relative to the upper limit surface 322, and the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 finally abuts against the lower limit surface in parallel. At this time, the force of the upper limit surface 323 on the U-shaped block 230 passes through the fixed end (rotation center) of the U-shaped block 230. Therefore, the force exerted by the upper limit surface 323 on the U-shaped block 230 cannot drive the U-shaped block 230 to rotate, thereby realizing the self-locking function to prevent the locking tongue 310 from being retracted and unlocked by external force when the vehicle is in the locked state. In addition, the structure of the upper limit surface 323 can ensure that after the locking tongue slider 320 reaches the unlocking position, the U-shaped block 230 cannot continue to rotate counterclockwise, thereby preventing the locking failure.
[0043] It is worth noting that the U-shaped block 230 drives the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move upward and can pass the upper self-locking position. At this time, the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 is in contact with the plane above the upper limit surface 322. When the lock tongue slider 320 is moved downward by an external force, it will drive the U-shaped block 230 to rotate slightly until the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 is in parallel contact with the upper limit surface 322 (the outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 is completely overlapped on the upper limit surface), so that the U-shaped block 230 reaches the upper self-locking position. After the U-shaped block 230 reaches the upper self-locking position, the lock tongue slider 320 cannot move under the action of external force.
[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the electronic faucet lock also includes a detection mechanism, which includes a position sensor 410. The position sensor 410 is arranged on one side of the lock tongue slider 320 (the side away from the U-shaped block 230), and is fixedly connected to the lock tongue slider 320 through an operating rod 420 (a through hole 324 is provided on the lock tongue slider 320, and the operating rod 420 passes through the through hole 324 and is connected to the lock tongue slider 320). When the lock tongue slider 320 moves linearly, it drives the operating rod 420 to move synchronously to change the resistance value of the position sensor 410. The position sensor 410 is also electrically connected to the control mechanism. When the lock tongue slider 320 drives the operating rod 420 to move downward to the unlocking position, the resistance value of the position sensor 410 reaches the first resistance threshold, and the position sensor 410 sends an unlocking completion signal to the control mechanism. After receiving the unlocking completion signal, the control mechanism controls the motor 100 to stop moving, and the electronic faucet lock is unlocked in place. When the lock tongue slider 320 drives the operating rod 420 to move upward to the locked position, the resistance value of the position sensor 410 reaches the second resistance threshold, and the position sensor 410 sends a locking completion signal to the control mechanism. After receiving the locking completion signal, the control mechanism controls the motor 100 to stop moving, and the electronic faucet lock is locked in place.
[0045] Optionally, the detection mechanism further includes a locking completion indicator light and an unlocking completion indicator light, and the control mechanism is electrically connected to the locking completion indicator light and the unlocking completion indicator light, respectively, and is used to control the unlocking completion indicator light to be powered on after receiving the unlocking completion signal, and to control the locking completion indicator light to be powered on after receiving the locking completion signal. Whether the electronic faucet lock is locked and unlocked in place can be determined by the power on and off of the locking completion indicator light and the unlocking completion indicator light.
[0046] like Figure 8 As shown, the electronic faucet lock further includes a housing 500, and the driving mechanism, the transmission assembly, and the lock tongue movement assembly 300 are all disposed in the housing 500. Specifically, the motor 100, the worm 210, the worm wheel 220, the U-shaped block 230, the double torsion spring 240, the lock tongue slider 320, and the lock tongue 310 are all disposed in the housing 500.
[0047] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a first bracket 510 is disposed inside the housing 500, and a vertical guide groove 520 is provided in the first bracket 510, and the guide groove 520 is used to guide and limit the movement of the lock tongue slider 320. The lock tongue slider 320 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 520, and driven by the U-shaped block 230, the lock tongue slider 320 performs a linear motion in the guide groove 520.
[0048] Optionally, guide ribs 325 are provided on both sides of the lock tongue slider 320 to prevent the lock tongue slider 320 from moving during the movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the lock tongue slider 320 in linear motion.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a second bracket 530 is further provided in the shell 500, and the second bracket 530 is fixedly mounted on the first bracket 510. Mounting holes are opened on two sides of the second bracket 530, and bearings are respectively provided in the mounting holes on both sides. Both ends of the rotating shaft are mounted on two bearings, and the U-shaped block 230, the worm gear 220, and the double torsion spring 240 are all mounted on the rotating shaft.
[0050] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown in , 7, specifically, the U-shaped block 230 includes two parallel rotating edges and a driving edge, the driving edge constitutes the free end of the U-shaped block 230, the two ends of the driving edge are respectively connected to one end of the two rotating edges, the other ends of the two rotating edges away from the driving edge are respectively provided with through holes, and the two rotating edges are installed on the rotating shaft through the through holes. The worm gear 220 is installed in the middle position of the rotating shaft, the first section and the second section of the double torsion spring 240 are respectively located on both sides of the worm gear 220, and the two rotating edges of the U-shaped block 230 are respectively located on both sides of the double torsion spring 240. When the worm gear 220 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the U-shaped block 230 and the double torsion spring 240 to rotate.
[0051] like Fig. 9 As shown, specifically, the control mechanism includes a microprocessor, a drive chip, and a communication module, and the microprocessor is electrically connected to the drive chip and the communication module respectively. The control mechanism is also electrically connected to the power supply of the vehicle, and is used to control itself to be in a working or non-working state according to the state of the vehicle power supply, thereby improving the electronic faucet lock's ability to resist environmental disturbances. Specifically, the control mechanism is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply, and when the vehicle is powered on, the control unit controls the motor 100 to be forced to close, ensuring that the electronic faucet lock will not be locked due to external interference (strong magnetism, vibration) during the vehicle's driving, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle's driving.
[0052] The working principle of the electronic faucet lock in this embodiment is as follows:
[0053] Unlocking process: The control mechanism receives the unlocking signal from the external device (the external signal is sent by the remote control key or the body button), controls the motor 100 to start, and the motor 100 drives the worm 210 to rotate forward, thereby driving the worm wheel 220 and the U-shaped block 230 to rotate clockwise. The outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 contacts the lower limit surface 322 of the lock tongue slider 320, thereby driving the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move linearly downward until the U-shaped block 230 reaches the lower self-locking position. In this process, the operating rod 420 follows the lock tongue slider 320 to move linearly downward synchronously, so that the resistance value of the position sensor 410 reaches the first resistance threshold. After the U-shaped block 230 reaches the lower self-locking position, the position sensor 410 sends an unlocking completion signal to the control mechanism. After the control mechanism receives the unlocking completion signal, the control motor 100 stops moving. At this time, the electronic faucet lock is unlocked in place.
[0054] Locking process: The control mechanism receives the locking signal from the external device, controls the motor 100 to start, and the motor 100 drives the worm 210 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the worm wheel 220 and the U-shaped block 230 to rotate counterclockwise. The outer end surface of the free end of the U-shaped block 230 contacts the upper limit surface 323 of the lock tongue slider 320, thereby driving the lock tongue slider 320 and the lock tongue 310 to move upward in a straight line until the U-shaped block 230 reaches the upper self-locking position. In this process, the operating rod 420 follows the lock tongue slider 320 to move upward in a straight line synchronously, so that the resistance value of the position sensor 410 reaches the second resistance threshold. After the U-shaped block 230 reaches the upper self-locking position, the position sensor 410 sends a locking completion signal to the control mechanism. After the control mechanism receives the locking completion signal, the control motor 100 stops moving. At this time, the electronic faucet lock is locked in place.
[0055] The electronic faucet lock in this embodiment adopts an electronic column lock with a lock tongue lifted and unlocked, realizing intelligent automatic unlocking and locking, without the need for a physical key, and the unlocking and locking process is simple and quick, and the installation position of the lock is concealed, which has a good anti-theft effect. In addition, the structural design of the U-shaped block 230 and the upper limit surface 323 and the lower limit surface 322 can achieve self-locking, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the vehicle in the locked or unlocked state, thereby ensuring the safety and anti-theft performance of the vehicle.
[0056] In addition, by providing the position sensor 410 to detect the unlocking and locking positions, the unlocking and locking states of the vehicle can be more accurately identified, so that when the lock is repaired, it is more convenient to understand whether the unlocking and locking are completed.
[0057] The electronic faucet lock in this embodiment is provided with a double torsion spring 240 between the U-shaped block 230 and the worm gear 220. When a foreign object blocks the lock tongue 310, the locking command can still be executed, and after the blocking object is removed, the lock tongue 310 can automatically pop out to complete the vehicle locking without repeatedly sending the locking command. In addition, the control mechanism is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply. When the vehicle is powered on, the control unit controls the motor 100 to be forced to close, ensuring that the electronic faucet lock will not be locked due to external interference during the vehicle driving, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle driving.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] The present embodiment discloses a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body, a remote control key and the electronic faucet lock in Embodiment 1. The electronic faucet lock is mounted on the vehicle body. The remote control key is used to send an unlocking signal or a locking signal.
