Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of smart padlocks, in particular to a battery anti-theft structure of a smart padlock. Background Art

[0002] A padlock is a traditional lock. Usually, a metal stem in a ring or "I" shape, i.e., a "lock beam", which can be buckled is mounted on the lock body of the padlock, so that the padlock can be directly buckled with the lock body through the lock beam to form a closed lock.

[0003] With the rise of the smart home industry, the padlocks used in daily life have rapidly transformed from traditional all-mechanical structures to electronic structures. The padlocks that use electronic structures to complete unlocking and locking are smart padlocks. Since smart padlocks need to be unlocked electronically, batteries, integrated circuit boards, and driving modules and unlocking modules that cooperate with unlocking are provided inside the smart padlock. In order to increase the service life of the smart padlock and prevent dust or water from entering its internal circuit structure, the shell of the smart padlock will pay great attention to sealing and waterproofness in design. In the prior art, the battery cover of the smart padlock is mostly set at the bottom and fixed by screws. When the battery in the smart padlock needs to be replaced, the screws are screwed out and the battery cover is removed for replacement. However, the opening structure of this battery cover is too simple, resulting in low security. Except for the owner of the smart padlock, anyone can open the battery cover freely. When the battery cover is opened, the battery can be stolen, or the electronic structure inside the smart padlock can be destroyed, and even unlocking can be completed. The safety of the smart padlock cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the opening structure of the battery. Utility Model Content
