[0046] Combine the following Figures 2 to 7 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the utility model, on the one hand, a battery cover assembly is provided, which is suitable for being connected to one side of a smart lock body 1, and a battery compartment 101 is provided on the smart lock body 1, and an opening is provided on one side of the battery compartment 101, and the battery cover assembly 2 includes: a cover body 201; a first sealing device 202, which is integrally formed on one side of the cover body 201 close to the opening of the battery compartment 101, and is suitable for sealing the gap between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1 when the cover body 201 is connected to the smart lock body 1.

[0048] By setting a first sealing device 202 on one side of the opening of the cover body 201 close to the battery compartment 101, when the cover body 201 is connected to the smart lock body 1, the gap between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1 can be sealed to prevent water and dust from entering the battery compartment 101 through the gap and causing damage to the battery 3 in the battery compartment 101, thereby affecting the normal use of the battery 3. At the same time, since the first sealing device 202 is integrally formed on the cover body 201, the step of separately assembling the first sealing device 202 during assembly is eliminated, and the assembly trouble caused by the first sealing device 202 falling off or twisting during assembly is prevented.

[0049] The cover body 201 is a plastic part, and the first sealing device 202 is a flexible part, which can be a silicone part. Specifically, the first sealing device 202 and the cover body 201 are integrally formed by a liquid silicone rubber process or a two-color molding process. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover body 201 and the first sealing device 202 can also be integrally formed in other ways, and there is no excessive restriction here. As a convertible embodiment, the cover body 201 and the first sealing device 202 can also be made of other materials.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the smart lock body 1 in this embodiment is provided with an annular assembly space at the side wall near the opening, the assembly space is connected to the battery compartment 101, and the first sealing device 202 is an annular flexible part and is suitable for interference fit connection with the assembly space.

[0051] By connecting the first sealing device 202 with the assembly space of the smart lock body 1 through interference fit, the gap between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1 can be sealed by compressing the first sealing device 202, and the assembly structure is relatively simple.

[0052] Specifically, the assembly space is an assembly groove, and the first sealing device 202 is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the outside of the cover body 201. When the cover body 201 is assembled and connected with the smart lock body 1, the first sealing device 202 is clamped between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1, so that the sealing effect is better.

[0053] In order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1, and to facilitate the replacement of the battery 3, the cover body 201 in this embodiment is suitable for snapping with the smart lock body 1. As a convertible implementation, the cover body 201 can also be fixedly connected to the smart lock body 1 in other ways.

[0054] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cover body 201 in this embodiment is provided with a mounting channel; the battery cover assembly 2 includes: a button assembly 203, which is movably arranged in the mounting channel, and the button assembly 203 is provided with a button portion 2031 and a first clamping structure 2032, and the first clamping structure 2032 is suitable for having a first state of clamping with the smart lock body 1 and a second state of separation from the smart lock body 1 when an external force operates on the button portion 2031. By providing the mounting channel on the cover body 201, it is convenient to assemble and connect with the button assembly 203, and by providing the button assembly 203, it is convenient to connect or disconnect the cover body 201 with the smart lock body 1, and the operation is more convenient.

[0055] In order to facilitate the connection between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1, Figure 4 As shown, a second clamping structure 102 is provided on the smart lock body 1.

[0056] Specifically, the first snap-fitting structure 2032 and the second snap-fitting structure 102 are both snap buckles. The two snap buckles are snapped together to realize the snap connection between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1, and the two snap buckles are separated to realize the separation of the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the button assembly 203 includes: a button body 2033, a button part 2031 is provided on the outer side of the button body 2033, and a first clamping structure 2032 is provided on the inner side; a second sealing device 2034 is integrally formed on the button body 2033, and the second sealing device 2034 is provided on the outer side of the button part 2031, suitable for sealing the gap between the button body 2033 and the cover body 201 in the first state.

[0058] The button portion 2031 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first clamping structure 2032. Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown.

[0059] Since the button assembly 203 can be movably arranged in the installation channel, the button assembly 203 and the cover body 201 cannot be assembled too tightly, so there will be a gap between the button assembly 203 and the cover body 201. In order to prevent water and dust from entering the cover body 201 through the gap and then entering the battery compartment 101 to damage the battery 3, a second sealing device 2034 is integrally formed on the button body 2033. The second sealing device 2034 can seal the gap between the button assembly 203 and the cover body 201 when the cover body 201 is assembled on the smart lock body 1, thereby playing a role in waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0060] Of course, since the second sealing device 2034 seals the gap between the key body 2033 and the cover body 201 , in other embodiments, the second sealing device 2034 may also be integrally formed on the inner side of the cover body 201 .

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, the second sealing device 2034 in this embodiment is a flexible member, specifically a silicone member, which is arranged in an annular structure and can seal the periphery of the button portion 2031. By arranging the second sealing device 2034 as a flexible member, the sealing setting between the button body 2033 and the cover body 201 can be achieved by compressing the flexible member; by arranging the second sealing device 2034 as an annular structure, the sealing area can be increased and the sealing effect can be improved. As a modified embodiment, the second sealing device 2034 can also be made of other flexible materials.

[0062] The key body 2033 in this embodiment is a plastic part. As a modified implementation, the key body 2033 can also be made of other materials.

[0063] It should be noted that the integral molding method of the second sealing device 2034 and the button body 2033 may be the same as or different from the integral molding method of the first sealing device 202 and the cover body 201 , and no excessive restrictions are imposed here.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the button assembly 203 in this embodiment includes an elastic member 2035 , one end of the elastic member 2035 is fixedly connected in the cover body 201 , and the other end is fixedly connected to the first clamping structure 2032 .

[0065] By setting an elastic member 2035 between the cover body 201 and the first snap-in structure 2032, the first snap-in structure 2032 can be disengaged from the smart lock body 1 when an external force acts on the operating part. At the same time, when the external force disappears, the first snap-in structure 2032 can be automatically reset to be snap-in with the second snap-in structure 102 by relying on the elastic force of the elastic member 2035. The structure is relatively simple.

[0066] Specifically, the elastic member 2035 is a spring, and a housing cavity for accommodating the button assembly 203 is provided in the cover body 201 . One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the cavity wall away from the installation channel, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first clamping structure 2032 .

[0067] Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic member may not be provided, and the button portion 2031 may be operated by external force to engage or disengage the first engaging structure 2032 and the second engaging structure 102 .

[0068] The battery cover assembly 2 in this embodiment uses a liquid silicone rubber process to design the cover body 201 and the button assembly 203 into a structure that combines plastic and silicone. The matching position of the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1 is sealed by the silicone on the cover body 201 being pressed into the assembly space of the smart lock along the side. The gap between the cover body 201 and the smart lock body 1 is filled by the deformation of the silicone, thereby achieving the function of preventing water and dust from entering after the battery cover assembly 2 is installed.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the other hand, a smart lock is also provided, including: a smart lock body 1 and the above-mentioned battery cover assembly 2, and the battery cover assembly 2 is connected to one side of the smart lock body 1.

[0070] The battery compartment 101 in the smart lock body 1 in this embodiment is used to place the battery 3.

[0071] When assembling the smart lock, the battery 3 can be installed into the battery compartment 101 , and then the battery cover assembly 2 can be snapped onto the smart lock body 1 .

[0072] The battery cover assembly 2 is waterproof and dustproof by means of the first sealing device 202 around the cover body 201 and the side of the shell of the smart lock body 1. The button assembly 203 is waterproof and dustproof by means of the second sealing device 2034 arranged on the button assembly 203 and the surface of the cover body 201. The waterproof and dustproof protection level of the smart lock can meet the requirements for outdoor and rainy day use of the smart lock. At the same time, by improving the protection level of the smart lock, the life and performance of the smart lock are also improved.

[0073] 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.
