When the bolt is in a locked state, the sensor 5 is located directly above the sensing chip 3. First, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the bolt is provided with a sensing chip, which means that the bolt has its own intelligent recognition function. When the user plugs the bolt, the sensing chip starts working and sends a signal to the sensor in the lock body. Secondly, a mobile communication module is provided in the lock body, which enables the lock body to transmit data with the system server. When the sensor receives a signal that the bolt is plugged back, it communicates with the mobile communication module through an electrical connection. Most importantly, the mobile communication module uses a wireless communication network to transmit data with the system server. Once the mobile communication module senses that the bolt is plugged back and establishes a connection with the sensing chip, it will send a signal to the system server through the wireless communication network to notify the server to stop calculating the fee. Therefore, the entire system realizes the function of automatically notifying the system server to stop calculating fees after the bolt is inserted back. This technical solution creatively utilizes intelligent sensing and mobile communication technology, solves the problem of traditional smart locks continuing to charge after the user inserts the bolt but does not operate the mobile terminal, and improves the user's convenience and experience.

[0031] Specifically, it also includes a circuit board 6, which is electrically connected to the sensor 5 and the mobile communication module 4. Preferably, the electronic components of the mobile communication module 4, the sensor 5 and other modules are integrated into the circuit board 6. This integrated connection can improve the stability and efficiency of the system and reduce the delays and errors that may occur during data transmission. In addition, through the circuit board connection, it is also more convenient to manage and control the communication and functions between the modules.

[0032] Preferably, it also includes a Bluetooth communication module 7, which is used to realize information interaction with the user's mobile terminal, and the Bluetooth communication module 7 is electrically connected to the circuit board 6. In this embodiment, the Bluetooth communication module 7 is integrated into the circuit board 6. When starting to use it, the user can connect the mobile phone to the device via Bluetooth by scanning the QR code of the device, and then open the lock of the shared device to start using it. A Bluetooth communication module is introduced to realize information interaction with the user's mobile terminal. The addition of the Bluetooth communication module allows users to interact directly with smart locks through mobile devices such as mobile phones, such as remote unlocking, viewing usage records and other functions. This convenient Bluetooth connection method enhances the user experience and allows users to manage and control smart locks more flexibly and conveniently.

[0033] Preferably, the lock body 2 further comprises a switch lock unit 8, the switch lock unit 8 is electrically connected to the circuit board 6, when the switch lock unit 8 is in the locked state, the action part 821 of the switch lock unit 8 is engaged with one end of the card slot 12 of the latch 1; when the switch lock unit 8 is in the unlocked state, the driving part of the switch lock unit 8 drives the action part 821 away from the latch 1. Specifically, the switch lock unit comprises a motor 81 (the motor 81 is the driving part) and a driving member 82, the circuit board 6 is electrically connected to the motor 81, the driving end of the motor 81 is located at one end of the driving member 82, and the other end of the driving member 82 corresponding to the driving end of the motor 81 is provided with a second spring 83, the two ends of the second spring 83 are respectively against the driving member 82 and the inner wall of the lock body 2, wherein the action part 821 is provided on one end of the driving member 82. The motor 81, the driving member 82, and the second spring 83 are installed inside the lock body 2, and the working principle is as follows: when the smart lock receives the unlocking command, the circuit board 6 drives the motor 81, and the driving end of the motor 81 drives the driving member 82 to move. When the driving member 82 moves, the action part 821 is moved away from the bolt 1, and the bolt 1 can be taken out of the lock body without any obstacles to unlock. When the bolt 1 is taken out, the sensor cannot sense the sensing chip, so the circuit board gives a new command to stop the power drive of the motor 81, and the driving member 82 is reset under the reaction of the second spring 83.

[0034] Preferably, the inner cavity 84 of the lock body 2 is adapted to the shape of the insertion end 11 of the bolt 1, and a first spring 85 is provided at one end of the inner cavity 84. When the bolt 1 is inserted into the inner cavity 84, the first spring 85 and the insertion end 11 are against each other. First, the inner cavity of the lock body is adapted to the shape of the insertion end of the bolt and is provided with a first spring. Such a design can ensure that the bolt can be firmly fixed in place when inserted into the inner cavity of the lock body, and at the same time, the pressure of the first spring can ensure the close connection between the bolt and the lock body, thereby improving the stability and safety of the entire lock system. In addition, when unlocking, the reaction force of the first spring can also make the bolt automatically pop out after the obstruction is removed, thereby improving the convenience of the product and the user experience.

[0035] Preferably, a micro switch 86 is also included, and a switch end 861 of the micro switch 86 is located on one side of the action part 821, and the micro switch 86 is electrically connected to the circuit board 6. Secondly, a micro switch is added and electrically connected to the circuit board. Micro switches are usually used to drive equipment through small changes. The addition of micro switches can provide more accurate and reliable switch state feedback. When in use, the instructions issued by the circuit board can be activated by the micro movement of the action part. When the pin is inserted into the inner cavity, the insertion end of the pin of the action part pushes down and touches the switch end, which can activate the sensor of the circuit board to detect the sensing chip, while it is in a power-off state at ordinary times. This setting can make the product more energy-saving and increase the service life of the product.

[0036] Specifically, it also includes a battery 9, and the battery 9 is electrically connected to the circuit board 6. The battery arrangement provides a reliable power supply for the smart lock, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the smart lock. Through the connection with the circuit board, the battery power status can be monitored in real time, and when the battery power is low, the user is promptly prompted to replace the battery to ensure the normal use of the smart lock.

[0037] Preferably, the sensing chip 3 is arranged inside the bolt 1. Specifically, the sensing chip 3 is arranged inside the insertion end 11 of the bolt 1. First, the sensing chip is arranged inside the insertion end. Setting the sensing chip inside the bolt can effectively improve the security and stability of the smart lock. Since the sensing chip is directly embedded in the bolt, the sensing chip cannot be easily touched or damaged by the outside, thereby effectively preventing the sensing chip from being damaged. At the same time, the sensing chip arranged inside can also reduce the impact of the external environment on it, and improve the recognition accuracy and stability of the sensing chip.

[0038] Preferably, the mobile communication module 4 is a 4G communication module. The use of a 4G communication module can provide faster and more stable data transmission speed and connection performance. Compared with traditional 2G or 3G communication modules, the 4G communication module has higher bandwidth and lower latency, can be more stably connected to the mobile communication network, and realize fast and reliable data transmission between the smart lock and the system server.

[0039] Preferably, the sensing chip 3 is an RFID chip. RFID technology has the characteristics of fast recognition speed, strong anti-counterfeiting, and long reading and writing distance, and is very suitable for identification and identity verification of smart locks. By using an RFID chip as a sensing chip, the recognition accuracy and security of the smart lock can be improved, effectively preventing the risk of illegal unlocking or counterfeiting of keys, and improving the security and reliability of the smart lock.
