Moreover, if an external force is applied, the strength of the connecting stud 2 on the cover plate 3 is poor.

[0038] Combine the following Figure 3 to Figure 4 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, a front lock assembly of a smart lock is provided, comprising:

[0040] A housing 1, wherein a receiving cavity 101 is provided on the housing 1, and an opening is provided on one side of the receiving cavity 101;

[0041] The connecting stud 2 is fixedly connected in the accommodating cavity 101, and the connecting stud 2 is suitable for fixedly connecting the rear lock component of the smart lock;

[0042] The cover plate 3 is clamped at the opening. The cover plate 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 301 , and a connecting stud 2 is passed through the first mounting hole 301 .

[0043] By fixing the connecting stud 2 in the accommodating cavity 101 of the shell 1 and snapping the cover plate 3 at the opening of the shell 1, there is no need to set multiple fixing screws between the cover plate 3 and the shell 1, which has low cost and convenient assembly. A first mounting hole 301 is provided on the cover plate 3. When the rear lock assembly is connected through the connecting stud 2, the casing fixes the cover plate 3 and the shell 1 through the connecting stud 2, and the cover plate 3 is snapped at the opening, which also makes assembly simpler. At the same time, fixing the connecting stud 2 on the shell 1 can also enhance the connection strength.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of slots 4 are provided on the side wall of the housing 1 near the opening, and a plurality of hooks 5 are provided on the cover plate 3 to engage with the slots 4, so that the cover plate 3 is engaged with the opening of the housing 1. As a convertible implementation, the housing 1 may be provided with a plurality of hooks 5 on the side wall near the opening, and the cover plate 3 may be provided with a plurality of slots 4 to engage with the hooks 5. As a convertible implementation, the housing 1 and the cover plate 3 may be engaged with each other through other specific engaging structures.

[0045] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a fixing member 6 is provided in the accommodating cavity 101, and the connecting stud 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 6. As a convertible implementation, it is also possible that the fixing member 6 is not provided, but the connecting stud 2 is directly fixedly connected in the accommodating cavity 101.

[0046] Specifically, the fixing member 6 is a square fixing plate, and the bottom of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 101, and the two ends of the fixing plate are respectively fixedly connected to the two opposite cavity walls of the accommodating chamber 101. By arranging the fixing member 6 in the accommodating chamber 101, it is convenient to fix the connecting stud 2, and by fixing the bottom wall and the two ends of the fixing plate to the cavity walls of the accommodating chamber 101, the connection strength of the connecting stud 2 can be further improved. As a convertible embodiment, the fixing member 6 can also be a fixing block with an arc shape or other shapes. As a convertible embodiment, only the bottom of the fixing member 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the accommodating chamber 101, or only the two ends of the fixing member 6 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the accommodating chamber 101.

[0047] In order to ensure the connection strength between the front lock assembly and the rear lock assembly, two connecting studs 2 are provided in this embodiment. Correspondingly, two fixing members 6 are also provided, and the fixing members 6 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the connecting studs 2. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that one fixing member 6 is provided, one connecting stud 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 6, and the other connecting stud 2 is fixedly connected in the accommodating cavity 101. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that three or more connecting studs 2 are provided. As a convertible embodiment, it is also possible that multiple connecting studs 2 are provided on each fixing member 6.

[0048] In order to further improve the connection strength of the connecting stud 2, the connecting stud 2 in this embodiment is provided with a plurality of reinforcing structures 7 in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the reinforcing structure 7 is a reinforcing rib, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals on the outer circumference of the connecting stud 2. As a convertible embodiment, the reinforcing structure 7 may also be a reinforcing plate. As a convertible embodiment, the plurality of reinforcing ribs may also be arranged at intervals and unevenly on the outer circumference of the connecting stud 2.

[0049] Specifically, a plurality of reinforcement structures 7 are provided on the circumference of each connecting stud 2. As a changeable embodiment, a plurality of reinforcement structures 7 may be provided on the circumference of only one connecting stud 2.

[0050] Since the connecting studs 2 are arranged on the housing 1 instead of the cover plate 3, the cover plate 3 in this embodiment can be arranged as a plastic part, which can further reduce the cost. Specifically, the cover plate 3 is a plastic plate. As a convertible embodiment, the cover plate 3 can also be made of other plastic materials, or the cover plate 3 can be a metal plate.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the front lock assembly in this embodiment includes an elastic pad 8, which is arranged on the side of the cover plate 3 away from the housing 1. The elastic pad 8 is provided with a second mounting hole 801, which is arranged corresponding to the first mounting hole 301, and a connecting stud 2 is inserted into the second mounting hole 801. Specifically, the elastic pad 8 is a silicone pad. As a convertible embodiment, the elastic pad 8 can also be a pad of other elastic materials.

[0052] By arranging an elastic pad 8 on the side of the cover plate 3 away from the outer shell 1, it is possible to prevent the cover plate 3 from being directly fixedly connected to the door body and causing damage to the door body. At the same time, it is possible to improve the flatness of the connection and enhance the aesthetics. By arranging a second mounting hole 801 on the elastic pad 8, the outer shell 1, the cover plate 3 and the elastic pad 8 can be directly fixed by connecting the studs 2, thereby saving the setting of the fixing structure.

[0053] When assembling the front lock assembly of this embodiment, the cover plate 3 can be snapped onto the housing 1 first, and then the silicone pad can be installed onto the cover plate 3.

[0054] The front lock assembly in this embodiment, by optimizing the internal components of the smart lock, can directly fix the connecting stud 2 on the outer shell 1, thereby enhancing the strength of the connecting stud 2. At the same time, the material of the cover plate 3 can be changed to plastic to save material costs. Moreover, the cover plate 3 is directly snapped onto the outer shell 1 and connected through the hook 5, so there is no need to use multiple screws. This not only saves materials but also greatly improves assembly efficiency.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the other hand, a smart lock is provided, including: the front lock assembly of the above-mentioned smart lock.

[0056] 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 in other application scenarios, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0057] 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.
