Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0045] Combine the following Figures 2 to 7 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.
[0046] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, a housing assembly of a smart lock is provided, comprising:
[0047] A first shell 1, wherein a receiving cavity 101 is provided in the first shell 1, and one side of the receiving cavity 101 has an opening;
[0048] The electronic device is disposed in the accommodating cavity 101, and the electronic device and the accommodating cavity 101 are sealed and connected;
[0049] A support structure 2 is provided at the opening, and the support structure 2 is sealed and connected to the opening;
[0050] The panel 3 is sealingly connected to a side of the supporting structure 2 away from the opening.
[0051] By making a sealed connection between the electronic device and the accommodating cavity 101, the periphery of the electronic device can be sealed to prevent water from entering the shell assembly and affecting the electronic device. By making a sealed connection between the supporting structure 2 and the opening and between the panel 3 and the supporting structure 2, each structure is sealed to prevent external water and dust from entering the shell assembly through the gaps between adjacent structures, thereby improving the overall electrical performance of the smart lock.
[0052] Among them, a positioning structure is provided in the accommodation cavity 101 in this embodiment, and the electronic device is sealed at the positioning structure. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning structure in this embodiment is a positioning groove. By providing a positioning structure in the accommodating cavity 101, it is more convenient to assemble the electronic device into the accommodating cavity 101, and by sealing the electronic device at the positioning structure, it is also possible to prevent interference with other structures in the accommodating cavity 101. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that no positioning structure is provided in the accommodating cavity 101, but the electronic device is directly sealed in the accommodating cavity 101.
[0053] There are many kinds of specific settings for electronic components. The electronic components of the smart lock in this embodiment include a speaker 4 and a fingerprint head 5. The positioning structure includes a first positioning structure corresponding to the speaker 4 and a second positioning structure corresponding to the fingerprint head 5. A speaker hole 6 is provided at the first positioning structure, and a fingerprint touch area is provided on the outer side of the second positioning structure.
[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, the specific settings of the electronic components can also be adjusted according to the specific usage requirements of the smart lock, and no excessive restrictions are made here.
[0055] Among them, a first sealing device 7 is provided between the speaker 4 and the first positioning structure, and a second sealing device 8 is provided between the fingerprint head 5 and the second positioning structure. Specifically, the first sealing device 7 is a waterproof breathable membrane, and the second sealing device 8 is a silicone gasket. By setting the first sealing device 7 as a waterproof breathable membrane, the waterproof and dustproof requirements of the speaker 4 can be achieved, and the waterproof breathable membrane will not affect the sound output and sound quality of the speaker 4, and will not affect the transmission of sound by the speaker 4; by setting the second sealing device 8 as a silicone gasket, the silicone gasket can be set along the outer ring of the fingerprint head 5, which will not affect the transmission of fingerprints by the fingerprint touch area.
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the housing assembly in this embodiment includes: a limiting structure 9, which is arranged on the side of the electronic device away from the positioning structure, and the limiting structure 9 is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 101, suitable for pressing the electronic device at the positioning structure. Specifically, the limiting structure 9 is a limiting pressure plate, which can be clamped with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 101 to achieve fixed connection, and is convenient for assembly. By setting the limiting structure 9, the electronic device can be pressed in the positioning structure to prevent the electronic device from loosening and the sealing effect of the sealing device from failing. As a convertible implementation, it is also possible that the limiting structure 9 is not set, but the electronic device is pressed in the accommodating cavity 101 by the support structure 2, or the limiting structure 9 is formed on the support structure 2, and the electronic device is pressed in the accommodating cavity 101 by the limiting structure 9 on the support structure 2. As a convertible implementation, it is also possible that the limiting structure 9 is fixedly connected to the accommodating cavity 101 by other fixing methods, such as screw connection or gluing.
[0057] In this embodiment, only one limiting structure 9 is provided, and one limiting structure 9 simultaneously limits the speaker 4 and the fingerprint head 5. As a changeable implementation, it is also possible that multiple limiting structures 9 are provided, and they are respectively provided in one-to-one correspondence with the electronic devices.
[0058] In this embodiment, a third sealing device 10 is provided between the support structure 2 and the opening, and the panel 3 and the support structure 2 are sealed and connected via a fourth sealing device 11. Specifically, the fourth sealing device 11 is a sealant, preferably a waterproof double-sided tape.
[0059] Specifically, the support structure 2 in this embodiment is a support frame, the support frame is made of plastic material, the third sealing device 10 is a silicone sealing ring, and the third sealing device 10 is integrally formed on the outer side of the support structure 2 through liquid silicone rubber technology.
[0060] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support structure 2 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 201, and the inner wall of the opening of the first shell 1 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 12, and the clamping blocks 12 are clamped with the clamping holes 201 to realize the fixed connection between the support structure 2 and the first shell 1, and the sealed connection is realized by the third sealing device 10. As a convertible embodiment, the support structure 2 can also be fixedly connected to the first shell 1 by screws.
[0061] The housing assembly of a general smart lock includes two housings arranged in an upper and lower manner. Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly in this embodiment includes: a second shell 13, which is sealed and connected to the side of the first shell 1 away from the support structure 2, and can ensure the waterproof and dustproof effect of the smart lock as a whole. In actual use, the first shell 1 is the upper shell of the smart lock, and the second shell 13 is the lower shell of the smart lock. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that the housing assembly includes only one shell, namely the first shell 1.
[0062] A fifth sealing device 14 is provided between the second shell 13 and the first shell 1. Specifically, the fifth sealing device 14 is a silicone pad.
[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the fifth sealing device 14 in this embodiment is provided with a through hole, through which the power cord 15 is passed, and the through hole matches the size of the power cord 15. By arranging the fifth sealing device 14 between the second shell 13 and the first shell 1, and arranging the through hole on the fifth sealing device 14, through which the power cord 15 is passed, the fifth sealing device 14 can not only play a sealing effect between the first shell 1 and the second shell 13, but also play a certain sealing effect on the power cord 15, so as to prevent dust and water from causing electrical effects on the power cord 15. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible to arrange a sealing ring between the second shell 13 and the first shell 1, and at the same time arrange a sealing ring between the power cord 15 and the first shell 1 and the second shell 13, so as to achieve a sealing effect between the first shell 1, the second shell 13 and the power cord 15.
[0064] There is no specific limitation on the fixing method of the second shell 13 and the first shell 1 , and it can be screw connection or clamping connection.
[0065] In this embodiment, the length dimension of the first shell 1 is greater than the length dimension of the supporting structure 2. Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly in this embodiment includes a lower sliding cover 16 , and the lower sliding cover 16 and the supporting structure 2 together close the accommodating cavity 101 of the first shell 1 .
[0066] Since the downward sliding cover 16 needs to slide to open the accommodating cavity 101 to expose the password key or close the accommodating cavity 101 to hide the password key, the downward sliding cover 16 and the first shell 1 in this embodiment do not need to be sealed.
[0067] During assembly, the waterproof silicone gasket corresponding to the fingerprint head 5 and the waterproof breathable membrane corresponding to the speaker 4 can be first assembled to the corresponding positioning structure, and then the speaker 4 and the fingerprint head 5 can be installed, and then fixed with a limiting pressure plate; then all electronic components such as the main board and the camera can be installed on the support structure 2, and then the support structure 2 with electronic components can be installed on the opening of the first shell 1; then the waterproof silicone pad and the power cord 15 can be assembled on the second shell 13, and finally the second shell 13 and the first shell 1 are fixed.
[0068] The waterproof principle of the housing assembly in this embodiment is as follows:
[0069] A waterproof silicone gasket is designed between the fingerprint head 5 and the accommodating cavity 101, and the fingerprint head 5, the waterproof silicone gasket and the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 101 are pressed tightly by a limiting pressure plate for protection. A waterproof breathable membrane is attached to the corresponding position of the speaker 4 to achieve the waterproof and dustproof requirements of the speaker 4.
[0070] The support structure 2 is formed by a liquid silicone rubber integrated molding process combining plastic and soft silicone, and silicone is arranged on the support structure 2. The support structure 2 is installed in the opening of the first shell 1, so that the silicone and the first shell 1 press the gap to seal and waterproof.
[0071] The gap between the first shell 1 and the second shell 13 and the periphery of the power line 15 are waterproofed by means of a silicone pad being pressed tightly.
[0072] Use waterproof double-sided tape to stick the panel 3 and the supporting structure 2 together to completely seal the space between the panel 3 and the supporting structure 2.
[0073] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the other hand, a smart lock is provided, including: the above-mentioned housing assembly.
[0074] The smart lock in this embodiment is a smart door lock. As a convertible implementation method, the smart lock can also be a smart lock applied to other scenarios.
[0075] The smart door lock in this embodiment, while meeting and facilitating the functions and usage requirements of the smart lock, integrates all the electronic components of the smart lock in the same accommodating cavity, and seals all leakage holes and gaps in the cavity by reliable methods to completely prevent water and dust from entering the interior of the smart door lock. The electrical components of the smart door lock are fully protected against water and dust, so that the waterproof and dustproof performance of the cavity meets the IP67 and above requirements, so that the entire lock also meets the IP67 and above protection requirements, thereby improving the electrical performance stability and service life of the smart door lock, and can meet the needs of outdoor and rainy day use of the smart door lock.
[0076] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
