[0045] For ease of description, the smart lock 100 will be referred to as the smart lock 100 with an easily removable battery module.

[0046] In this embodiment, the front lock body 10 and the rear lock body 20 are respectively arranged on the front and back of the door body. Therefore, the input panel 11 is arranged on the front of the front lock body 10, so that residents and other people with access rights can enter passwords or facial information through the numeric keyboard module 111 or the facial information collection module 112 to unlock the smart lock 100. The input panel 11 can be understood as a panel for inputting information, such as numeric password information, facial information, and sound information. If the control unit 30 and other structures are arranged in the rear lock body 20, the security of the smart lock 100 can be improved to prevent the smart lock 100 from being maliciously disassembled, modified, and invaded.

[0047] The numeric keypad module 111 may include common 10 numeric keys and doorbell keys to implement functions such as password input and doorbell reminder. The specific structure and other functions of the numeric keypad keys can refer to the structure and function of the numeric keypad in the relevant technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Exemplarily, the facial information acquisition module 112 may include a facial recognition camera, a fill light, an ambient light sensor, and a distance sensor, all of which are electrically connected to the control unit 30 . The above components are used to directly or assist in facial recognition acquisition.

[0049] The face recognition camera can be used to collect face data and transmit it to the control unit 30 for face recognition. Of course, the face recognition camera can also be used to capture outdoor images.

[0050] The ambient light sensor can intervene in the ambient light in the environment where the door body is located. Specifically, when the ambient light sensor detects that the current light is weak, in order to prevent the face recognition camera from failing to collect face data completely and clearly, the ambient light sensor can transmit a signal to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 can control the fill light to turn on according to the signal to illuminate the face, so that the face recognition camera can collect face data more completely and clearly, thereby improving the unlocking success rate.

[0051] In one embodiment, the fill light may be an LED light that can emit white light.

[0052] The distance sensor can be used to detect whether a person is approaching. When a person approaches the door and is detected by the distance sensor, the distance sensor can send a signal to the control unit 30, and the control unit 30 can control the face recognition camera to turn on. When the use is finished, the control unit 30 turns off the face recognition camera. In this way, when some people just pass by and the smart lock 100 does not need to be unlocked, the power consumption of the smart lock 100 can be reduced by turning off the face recognition camera.

[0053] Furthermore, a microphone for collecting and playing sounds can be arranged near the facial information collection module 112. The microphone is electrically connected to the control unit 30. When the facial data of certain visitors is not stored in the control unit 30, the resident can control the microphone to turn on so that the visitor can speak to the resident through the microphone to verify his / her identity. The resident can also actively turn on the microphone to communicate with the visitor, thereby improving the intelligence and diversified functions of the smart lock 100.

[0054] The front key lock hole is arranged in the front lock body 10 and corresponds to the lock core arranged in the door body. In a normal state, the lock core cover 12 covers the location of the front key lock hole. In an emergency situation where the lock cannot be unlocked by recognizing the face through the facial information collection module 112 and entering the password through the numeric keyboard module 111, the lock can be unlocked by removing the lock core cover 12 and inserting the key into the front key lock hole for mechanical unlocking.

[0055] The lock core cover 12 and the front lock body 10 are detachably arranged, such as by snapping, screwing, gluing, etc., so as to facilitate the removal and reinstallation of the lock core cover 12 when needed.

[0056] In this embodiment, a plurality of installation spaces or a plurality of installation structures may be formed on the rear lock body 20 for installing the first battery compartment 211 and the control unit 30 and other structures, so as to realize the integrated installation of functional elements.

[0057] The control unit 30 is the control center and data processing center of the smart lock 100, which may include a controller, a memory and a communication module electrically connected to the controller. The controller may be a single chip microcomputer or other components with control and data processing functions, and the memory may store the facial data of people who can pass through. When the facial information acquisition module 112 acquires facial information, the controller may match the acquired facial information with the facial data stored in the memory. When the facial match is successful, the controller may control the smart lock 100 to open.

[0058] The communication module may be a WIFI module to realize the wireless connection function of the smart lock 100. For example, when the resident is not at home and the guest needs to enter the house, the resident can remotely unlock the door through the communication module to avoid the guest being impatient due to waiting for a long time.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first battery module 22 can be a detachable and rechargeable lithium battery module. When the lithium battery module runs out of power, the resident can remove it for charging. The lithium battery has a strong endurance and a long service life, and can provide effective power support for the smart lock 100 to ensure the normal operation of the smart lock 100.

[0060] The opening 2111 of the first battery compartment 211 is exposed at the top of the rear lock body 20, and the opening 2111 is not blocked by the door body. When the power of the first battery module 22 is exhausted, the resident can remove the snap-on cover 26 at the top of the rear lock body 20 to expose the opening 2111, thereby facilitating the removal of the first battery module 22, and other charged battery modules can be replaced to enter the first battery compartment 211 for power supply, or the first battery module 22 can be reinstalled after being fully charged.

[0061] It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​cover 26 can cover the opening 2111 to prevent impurities, water vapor, etc. from entering the first battery compartment 211 and contaminating the first battery module 22 , thereby improving the electrical safety of the first battery module 22 .

[0062] Exemplarily, the detachable setting mode between the snap-fit ​​cover 26 and the rear lock body 20 can be snap-fit, screw-fit, sticking, etc. For example, a card block can be provided on the snap-fit ​​cover 26, and a card hole corresponding to the card block can be provided in the first battery compartment 211, and the detachable setting of the snap-fit ​​cover 26 and the first battery compartment 211 is realized by the cooperation of the card block and the card hole.

[0063] It is worth noting that the rear lock body 20 in the present embodiment is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. If the rear lock body 20 is divided into an upper section and a lower section, the relatively upper section of the rear lock body 20 can be understood as the upper half of the rear lock body 20, that is, the first battery compartment 211 is arranged in the upper half of the rear lock body 20 and the opening 2111 of the first battery compartment 211 is located at the top of the rear lock body 20.

[0064] In one embodiment, a charging port electrically connected to the first battery module 22 may also be provided on the rear lock body 20. When the first battery module 22 is out of power, the first battery module 22 may be charged directly through the charging port, eliminating the process of disassembling and installing the first battery module 22.

[0065] Furthermore, a power detection module can be provided in the control unit 30 and electrically connected to the first battery module 22 to detect the real-time power level of the first battery module 22. A display module electrically connected to the control unit 30 can also be provided on the rear lock body 20 to indicate the real-time power level of the first battery module 22.

[0066] Exemplarily, the display module can be a structure with display function such as a display light and a display screen. The display light can display a green light or a red light to indicate whether the first battery module 22 is powered or not powered, respectively, and the display screen can display the power percentage to indicate the power status of the first battery module 22.

[0067] In addition, a voice prompt module electrically connected to the control unit 30 can be provided on the rear lock body 20. When the first battery module 22 drops to a certain level, the voice prompt module can issue a voice prompt to the resident of the power status of the first battery module 22, reminding the resident to replace or charge it in time.

[0068] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, a second battery compartment 2311 is further provided at the relatively lower section of the rear lock body 20 , and a second battery module 27 is provided in the second battery compartment 2311 . The second battery module 27 is electrically connected to the control unit 30 , the numeric keyboard module 111 and the facial information acquisition module 112 .

[0069] In the event that the resident fails to replace the first battery module 22 in time, in order to avoid the problem that the smart lock 100 stops working due to the exhaustion of the first battery module 22, the present embodiment further provides a second battery compartment 2311 and a second battery module 27 in the rear lock body 20. When the first battery module 22 is exhausted, the second battery module 27 can continue to supply power to the smart lock 100, thereby ensuring the subsequent use of the smart lock 100.

[0070] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first battery module 22 may be a lithium battery module (including a lithium battery and contacts thereon, etc.), and the second battery module 27 may be a dry cell module (including dry cells and a battery box, etc.). In this way, the cost of the smart lock 100 can be controlled while meeting the needs of normal power supply and backup power supply, and the replacement of the second battery module 27 is also convenient.

In this way, the manufacturing process of the second battery compartment 2311 can be reduced, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and the second battery compartment 2311 and the cover body 231 have good integrity, higher reliability, and are conducive to extending the service life.

[0091] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the lower section of the cover body 231 protrudes toward the front lock body 10 to form a second battery compartment 2311 .

[0092] When manufacturing the cover body 231, the second battery compartment 2311 can be integrally injection molded with the lock body 21, and then electrical structures such as contacts are arranged in the second battery compartment 2311. The second battery compartment 2311 protrudes toward the front lock body 10 and has a certain internal space, and the second battery module 27 is accommodated in the internal space and contained in the second battery compartment 2311.

[0093] See also Figures 4 to 8 In one embodiment, the snap-on cover 26 comprises:

[0094] A cover 261, the shape of which matches the shape of the opening 2111; and

[0095] The locking portion 262 is formed by extending downward from both sides of the cover body 261 . The locking portion 262 is provided with a protrusion 2621 protruding outward. The protrusion 2621 is limitedly matched with the inner side of the first battery compartment 211 .

[0096] In this embodiment, the shape of the cover 261 is adapted to the shape of the opening 2111 to ensure the tightness of the snap-on cover 26 when it is snapped on the opening 2111, thereby improving the protection effect of the first battery module 22. The snap-on portion 262 has a certain elasticity. When the snap-on cover 26 is snapped on the opening 2111, the snap-on portion 262 is pressed inward and deformed. When the snap-on cover 26 is fully snapped on the opening 2111, the snap-on portion 262 returns to its original shape and abuts against the inner side of the first battery compartment 211 of the opening 2111, thereby improving the stability when the snap-on portion 262 is limited to the inner side of the first battery compartment 211. The protrusions 2621 are distributed along the width direction of the snap-on portion 262 to provide a snap-on limiting function in the vertical direction.

[0097] Exemplarily, the limiting cooperation between the protrusion 2621 and the inner side of the first battery compartment 211 can be that the inner side of the first battery compartment 211 can be provided with a groove, and the protrusion 2621 can be embedded in the groove to achieve the limiting cooperation between the snap-fit ​​cover 26 and the first battery compartment 211; or, the protrusion 2621 can directly abut against the inner surface of the first battery compartment 211, and the pressure of the protrusion 2621 on the inner side of the first battery compartment 211 generated by the deformation of the locking portion 262 itself can be achieved to achieve the limiting cooperation between the protrusion 2621 and the inner side of the first battery compartment 211.

[0098] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the two inner sides of the first battery compartment 211 are provided with limiting edges 2112 , which are embedded between the protrusion 2621 and the cover body 261 and fit with the locking portion 262 , and the protrusion 2621 and the lower edge of the limiting edge 2112 are limitedly matched.

[0099] Specifically, the limiting edge 2112 is formed by the inner surface of the first battery compartment 211 protruding inwardly, and has a certain thickness, so the protrusion 2621 can cooperate with the lower edge of the limiting edge 2112 to limit the position, and specifically, the protrusion 2621 can abut against the lower edge of the limiting edge 2112 to achieve the limit. The limiting edge 2112 fits with the engaging portion 262, which can improve the stability of the buckle cover 26 when buckled on the opening 2111, and is not easy to shake.

[0100] Furthermore, the outer side surface of the locking portion 262 may have a certain depression, and the depth of the depression may be similar to or equal to the thickness of the limiting edge 2112. When the locking portion 262 is in contact with the limiting edge 2112, the limiting edge 2112 is embedded in the depression as a whole, and the lower edge of the limiting edge 2112 is limitedly cooperated with the protrusion 2621, so that the setting of the snap-fit ​​cover 26 at the opening 2111 of the first battery compartment 211 is more stable.
