[0022] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 7The utility model is a smart lock handle with a built-in clutch, comprising a handle body 1 with openings at both ends, a clutch assembly 2 and a rotating shaft 3. The clutch assembly 2 is slidably arranged inside the handle body 1, one end of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the handle body 1 through the opening of the handle body 1, and one end of the clutch assembly 2 is engaged with the rotating shaft 3; in this embodiment, the handle body 1 is generally cylindrical, and the cylindrical handle makes the internal space more sufficient, and has a larger capacity for installing the clutch assembly 2. One end of the clutch assembly 2 is engaged with the rotating shaft 3, and the rotating shaft 3 is rotated by driving the clutch assembly 2, so that the other end of the rotating shaft 3 connected to the lock body is driven to be unlocked.

[0024] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0025] In terms of electronic control, the principle is that when the user's external identification verification is successful, the output shaft 221 of the drive motor 22 starts to rotate after receiving the start signal, and the torsion spring 4 sleeved on the positioning column 23 rotates and compresses toward the rotating shaft 3. Since a limiting protrusion 231 is provided in the spring coil of the torsion spring 4, the limiting protrusion 231 limits the compression stroke of the torsion spring 4, and the limiting slider 21 is easily pushed by the compression elastic force of the torsion spring 4, so that the limiting slider 21 slides in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3. When the protrusion on the limiting slider 21 is embedded in the bayonet 31, the rotating shaft 3 and the handle body form an integrated linkage at this time, and the door handle can be turned to complete the unlocking. After the unlocking is completed, the drive motor 22 reaches the locking time set by the program, the drive motor 22 starts to reverse, the torsion spring 4 rebounds, the limiting slider 21 resets, and the protrusion comes out of the bayonet 31. At this time, the door lock is in a locked state; in terms of mechanical control, when the limiting slider 21 is in the initial position, the key is inserted into the fixing hole 10 to push The spring fixing seat 7 is moved. Since the second spring 5 is riveted to the spring fixing seat 7, the second spring 5 is compressed in the direction of the limit slider 21, and the third spring 6 arranged between the spring fixing seat 7 and the handle body is also compressed. The second spring 5 pushes the limit slider 21 and pushes the protrusion into the bayonet hole 31, so that the rotating shaft 3 and the handle body form a linkage. At this time, the handle can be turned to open the door lock, and then the key is pulled out, the second spring 5 rebounds, and the third spring 6 pushes the spring fixing seat 7 back to its original position. The limit slider 21 is returned to its original position by the elastic force of the rebound of the torsion spring 4; after the user presses the handle in advance, the rotating shaft 3 rotates at the same time, and then uses the key to open the door. The second spring 5 is compressed to push the limit slider 21 to slide towards the rotating shaft 3, and the bayonet hole 31 position of the rotating shaft 3 is misaligned with the limiting protrusion 211. At this time, the limit slider 21 cannot be stuck in the bayonet hole 31. After turning the key, the second spring 5 is compressed to protect other transmission parts from being violently damaged. After releasing the handle, the rotating shaft 3 is reset, and the protrusion can slide into the bayonet hole 31 to unlock.

[0026] In another embodiment, all technical features of the above embodiment are included, see Figure 1-3 and Figure 7 The clutch assembly 2 in the handle body 1 includes a limit slider 21, a drive motor 22 and a positioning column 23. The surface of the limit slider 21 is provided with a first through hole for placing the drive motor 22, and the drive motor 22 is placed in the first through hole. The positioning column 23 is sleeved on the output shaft 221 of the drive motor 22, and a torsion spring 4 is sleeved on the positioning column 23. A spring fixing block 12 is provided at one end of the slider away from the rotating shaft 3, and the positioning column 23 passes through the spring fixing block 12; a spring fixing seat 7 is sleeved on one end of the handle body 1 away from the rotating shaft 3, and a second spring 5 is arranged in the spring fixing seat 7, one end of the second spring 5 is fixedly connected to the spring fixing seat 7, and the other end of the second spring 5 is sleeved on the positioning column 23, and a third spring 6 is arranged between the spring fixing seat 7 and the handle body 1, and a sleeve 8 with an opening at one end is provided on the outer sleeve of the spring fixing seat 7, and the sleeve The tube 8 has an open end which is engaged with the end of the handle body 1 away from the rotating shaft 3; through the cooperation of the limit slider 21, the drive motor 22, the positioning column 23 and the torsion spring 4, an electronic component is formed to control the closing of the clutch. When the drive motor 22 receives a start signal, the drive motor 22 starts to rotate, and the torsion spring 4 indirectly sleeved on the output shaft 221 through the positioning column 23 also rotates together. The spring coil of the torsion spring 4 is rotated and compressed. Since the positioning column 23 is provided with a limit protrusion 231 which is sleeved in the spring coil and is used to fix the torsion spring 4, the elastic force generated by the torsion spring 4 will act on the limit protrusion 231, which is equivalent to pushing the limit slider 21 to move, so that the limit protrusion 211 on the limit slider 21 slides into the bayonet 31, so that the rotating shaft 3 and the handle body 1 form an integrated linkage, and then the unlocking can be completed.

[0027] The clutch is closed by forming a mechanical assembly through the cooperation among the limit slider 21, the torsion spring 4, the second spring 5, the third spring 6 and the spring fixing seat 7. The key is inserted into the fixing hole 10 of the spring fixing seat 7. The spring fixing seat 7 is sleeved in the sleeve 8. The sleeve 8 also begins to have an opening. The diameter of the opening is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 10. The cross section of the fixing hole 10 is exposed in the opening. After the key is inserted, the key will abut against the cross section, thereby pushing the spring fixing seat 7; the second spring 5, one end of which abuts against the limit slider 21 and the other end of which is welded on the spring fixing seat 7, is compressed by the external thrust, generating an axial elastic force, pushing the limit slider 21 to slide toward the rotating shaft 3. At the same time, the third spring 6 installed between the handle body 1 and the spring fixing seat 7 is also compressed. After the limit protrusion 211 is inserted into the bayonet 31 to complete the unlocking, the key is pulled out, the spring fixing seat 7 is not subjected to the external thrust, the second spring 5 returns to the initial state, and the third spring 6 pushes the spring fixing seat 7 back to its original position, thereby completing the clutch closing function of the mechanical assembly.

[0028] In addition, considering that there may be unexpected situations in the unlocking method, for example, the user presses the handle in advance before inserting the key, causing the shaft 3 to be misplaced, when the key is inserted at this time, the limiting protrusion 211 cannot be engaged with the bayonet 31, and the shaft 3 and the handle body 1 cannot form an integrated linkage. However, through the compression of the second spring 5, the second spring 5 absorbs the thrust to ensure that other clutch transmission parts such as the drive motor 22 and the limiting slider 21 will not be damaged. After releasing the handle, the shaft 3 returns to the normal position, and the limiting protrusion 211 can smoothly enter the bayonet 31, thereby completing the unlocking. The above is a protection design under unconventional conditions.

[0029] In another embodiment, all technical features of the above embodiment are included, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 In order to ensure that the limiting slider 21 does not produce deviation and inclination during sliding, two opposite slide grooves 100 are provided in the handle body 1, and the two sides of the limiting slider 21 are placed in the slide grooves 100, and the limiting slider 21 and the handle body 1 are slidably matched; at least one limiting protrusion 211 is provided at one end of the limiting slider 21 close to the rotating shaft 3, and the limiting protrusion 211 is engaged and connected with the bayonet 31; the limiting slider 21 slides through the slide groove 100 so that the limiting protrusion 211 and the bayonet 31 are detachably engaged and connected; in this embodiment, the handle body 1 is provided with two opposite slide grooves 100, and the limiting slider 21 can slide through the cooperation with the slide grooves 100 on both sides, and the rotating shaft 3 and the handle body 1 are formed into an integrated linkage through the engagement connection of the limiting protrusion 211 and the bayonet 31, so that the lock core connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 3 can be rotated.

[0030] In another embodiment, all technical features of the above embodiment are included, see Figure 2 At least one limiting protrusion 231 is provided on the positioning column 23, and the limiting protrusion 231 is arranged in the spring coil of the torsion spring 4; the torsion arm at one end of the torsion spring 4 abuts against a wall surface of the spring fixing cavity close to the drive motor 22, and the torsion arm at the other end abuts against the inner wall of the spring fixing cavity; by setting the limiting protrusion 231, the position of the torsion spring 4 is fixed so that it will not deviate from the positioning column 23, and then the torsion spring 4 is further limited by setting the spring fixing cavity to prevent the torsion spring 4 from falling off during rotation, and when the drive motor 22 is working, the limiting protrusion 231 also serves as a limiting point of the torsion spring 4, and the maximum compression stroke of the torsion spring 4 only reaches the limiting protrusion 231.

[0031] In another embodiment, all technical features of the above embodiment are included, see Figure 4Since the drive motor 22 will generate vibrations when it is started, it may shift back and forth in the axial direction. In order to ensure that the drive motor 22 does not shift, a stopper 101 for fixing the drive motor 22 is provided in the handle body 1. The stopper 101 is arranged at various corners of the drive motor 22 to ensure that the drive motor 22 does not shift to the greatest extent.

[0032] In another embodiment, all technical features of the above embodiment are included, see Figure 5 A fixing hole 10 is provided at one end of the spring fixing seat 7 away from the second spring 5 , and a second through hole 11 is provided at the other end of the sleeve 8 . The size of the second through hole 11 is larger than that of the fixing hole 10 .

[0033] In another embodiment, all technical features of the above embodiment are included, see Figure 6 The end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the handle body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 32 for connecting with the lock core component, and the mounting groove 32 is used to connect with the lock body. When the rotating shaft 3 and the handle body form an integrated linkage, pressing the handle can drive the lock body to unlock.

[0034] The advantages of the utility model are:

[0035] 1) Have electronic components and mechanical components to achieve clutch closure.

[0036] 2) The clutch is built into the handle to reduce the space occupied inside the panel.

[0037] 3) The overall lock layout is more convenient and diversified.
