[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a smart padlock system, including a lock body 100, a lock hook 200 and a control component.

[0034] The lock body 100 provides a mounting base for other components; the lock body 100 and the lock hook 200 are made of metal materials, such as cast iron, carbon steel, etc. Exemplarily, the lock body 100 is a square, circular, polygonal column or heart-shaped structure.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the lock hook 200 are respectively a first end 210 and a second end 220. The first end 210 is movably installed in the lock body 100, so that the first end 210 can move along the axial direction of the first end 210 in the lock body 100 and the first end 210 can rotate around the circumference of the first end 210 in the lock body 100; the second end 220 can be locked and connected with the lock body 100; the lock hook 200 has a locked state and an active state, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the locked state, the second end 220 is locked with the lock body 100; Figure 1 As shown, in the active state, the second end portion 220 is unlocked from the lock body 100 , so that the second end portion 220 can be inserted into or removed from the lock body 100 .

[0036] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the lock hook 200 is a U-shaped rod structure. In another embodiment, the lock hook 200 is a U-shaped structure. In another embodiment, the lock hook 200 is a rod structure arranged along a straight line, and the lock body 100 is correspondingly arranged as a concave block structure.

[0037] The control component includes a first controller, which can switch the lock hook 200 to a locked state or an active state. The first controller can receive executable instructions and maintain the lock hook 200 in the locked state or switch it to the active state according to the received instructions.

[0038] During use, when the user needs to unlock the lock, he needs to use the smart terminal or other identity authentication equipment to perform biometric identification or other identity information such as passwords. After the verification is passed, the first controller will switch the lock hook 200 to the lock position as shown in the figure. Figure 1 otherwise, the first controller maintains the lock hook 200 as Figure 2 Lock status shown.

[0039] For example, in the present application, there is no limitation on the model of the first controller. For example, the first controller may be a HID Aero X1100 controller, or a HID Aero X200, HID Aero X300, or HID Aero X400 controller.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the second end portion 220 has a locking groove 230, and the lock body 100 is provided with a locking hole 120, and the second end portion 220 can be inserted into or out of the locking hole 120. Figure 2 As shown, the second end portion 220 is inserted into the locking hole 120; Figure 1 As shown, the second end portion 220 is disengaged from the locking hole 120 .

[0041] Exemplarily, the lock body 100 is a solid block structure, and a locking hole 120 is provided on the lock body 100; in another embodiment, the lock body 100 is a hollow block structure, and a hollow tube is fixedly provided in the lock body 100 by welding, clamping, bolting, etc., and the locking hole 120 is provided in the hollow tube.

[0042] The control assembly includes a moving block 310 , and a sliding groove 130 communicating with the locking hole 120 is disposed on the lock body 100 . Exemplarily, the sliding groove 130 is disposed perpendicular to the locking hole 120 .

[0043] The moving block 310 is slidably mounted on the sliding groove 130 of the lock body 100. Figure 2As shown, during the sliding process in the sliding groove 130, part of the block structure of the moving block 310 can enter the locking hole 120 from the sliding groove 130. When the second end 220 is in the locking hole 120, the moving block 310 can enter the locking groove 230. The moving block 310 blocks the inner wall of the locking groove 230, so that the second end 220 is locked in the locking hole 120, thereby putting the locking hook 200 in a locked state. Figure 1 As shown, when the moving block 310 slides and all parts are disengaged from the locking groove 230, the moving block 310 no longer blocks the inner wall of the locking groove 230, and the second end 220 can slide back and forth along the axial direction of the locking hole 120, so that the second end 220 is disengaged from the locking hole 120.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the control component also includes a linear motor 320, which is disposed in the lock body 100, and the telescopic end of the linear motor 320 is fixedly connected to the moving block 310. The linear motor 320 telescopes and drives the moving block 310 to reciprocate in the sliding groove 130. The linear motor 320 is electrically connected to a first controller, and the first controller can control the telescopic movement of the linear motor 320.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the control component also includes a pressure sensor 330, which is electrically connected to the first controller. The pressure sensor 330 is arranged in the locking hole 120, and the second end 220 can apply a force to the pressure sensor 330. The pressure sensor 330 detects the force applied by the second end 220 and converts the detection result into an electrical signal and sends it to the first controller. When the force applied by the second end 220 to the pressure sensor 330 is at a first preset value, the first controller controls the linear motor 320 to extend, so that the moving block 310 can enter the locking groove 230, thereby putting the locking hook 200 in a locked state.

[0046] Exemplarily, the first preset value is set according to actual needs; exemplary, the first preset value is a specific value or a range of values, for example, the first preset value may be equal to 5N, and the first preset value may also be equal to 3N-8N.

[0047] For example, Figure 1As shown, the pressure sensor 330 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the locking hole 120 by means of clamping, welding or gluing, and the pressure sensor 330 is located on the moving path of the second end 220 in the locking hole 120. The second end 220 can press the pressure sensor 330 when inserted into the locking hole 120. After the pressure sensor 330 detects the force applied by the second end 220, it converts the detection result into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller. In addition, the pressure sensor 330 can not only detect the force applied by the second end 220, but also limit the displacement of the second end 220 in the locking hole 120.

[0048] When the user needs to lock the second end 220, the user only needs to press the second end 220 so that the force applied by the second end 220 to the pressure sensor 330 is greater than the first preset value. The first controller receives the detection result of the pressure sensor 330 and controls the extension and retraction of the linear motor 320 according to the detection result. When the pressure sensor 330 detects that the force applied by the second end 220 is less than the first preset value, the first controller keeps the linear motor 320 in a retracted working state at all times. When the pressure sensor 330 detects that the force applied by the second end 220 is greater than the first preset value, the first controller controls the linear motor 320 to extend, so that the moving block 310 is inserted into the locking groove 230 of the second end 220, so that the second end 220 is locked in the locking hole 120, and then the locking hook 200 is switched to a locked state.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the smart padlock system further includes a first elastic member 340, which is disposed in the locking hole 120. The first elastic member 340 can exert a force on the second end 220, so that the second end 220 moves out of the locking hole 120 along the axis of the locking hole 120. When the user releases the lock hook 200 from the locked state and switches it to the active state, the first elastic member 340 can push the second end 220 to move out of the locking hole 120, which is convenient for the user to use. Of course, the first elastic member 340 can push part of the second end 220 out of the locking hole 120 or push the second end 220 out of the locking hole 120. When the second end 220 is inserted into the locking hole 120, the second end 220 can squeeze the first elastic member 340, so that the first elastic member 340 is shortened.

[0050] Exemplarily, the first elastic member 340 includes but is not limited to one of the following: a coil spring, a spring plate, or an air spring.

[0051] In another embodiment, the pressure sensor 330 can not only be set on the inner wall of the locking hole 120, but also the pressure sensor 330 can be fixedly set at the bottom of the locking hole 120, the first elastic member 340 is set on the pressure sensor 330, and the second end 220 can indirectly press the pressure sensor 330 by compressing the first elastic member 340 when inserted into the locking hole 120.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the lock body 100 is further provided with a movable hole 110 , and the first end portion 210 is movably installed in the movable hole 110 , so that the first end portion 210 can rotate in the movable hole 110 and move along the axial direction of the movable hole 110 .

[0053] Exemplarily, the lock body 100 is a solid block structure, and the movable hole 110 is opened on the lock body 100. In another embodiment, the lock body 100 is a hollow shell structure, a hollow sleeve structure is fixedly arranged in the lock body 100, and the movable hole 110 is arranged on the hollow sleeve.

[0054] The smart padlock system further includes a second elastic member 350 capable of retracting and rebounding, and the second elastic member 350 can exert a force on the first end 210 to move the first end 210 out of the movable hole 110. When the lock hook 200 is switched to the locked state, the first end 210 presses the second elastic member 350 to compress the second elastic member 350, but the second elastic member 350 can exert a reaction force on the first end 210 to move the first end 210 out of the locking hole 120. When the lock hook 200 is switched to the active state, the second elastic member 350 pushes the first end 210 to move out of the movable hole 110.

[0055] Exemplarily, the second elastic member 350 includes but is not limited to one of the following: a coil spring, a spring plate, an air spring, etc.

[0056] In one embodiment, the smart padlock system further includes a key assembly, which can switch the lock hook 200 from a locked state to an active state, and the key assembly provides another implementation method for switching the lock hook 200 from a locked state to an active state. The first controller is electrically connected to a first connection terminal, and the first controller can establish an electrical connection with an external device through the first connection terminal.

[0057] An expansion hole is provided on the lock body 100, and the first connecting terminal is arranged in the expansion hole.

[0058] The key assembly includes a key body, an executable instruction storage medium, a second controller and a second connection terminal.

[0059] The executable instruction storage medium is arranged on the key body, and the user identity information is stored in the executable instruction storage medium; the second controller is electrically connected to the executable instruction storage medium, the second connection terminal is arranged on the key body, and the second controller is electrically connected to the second connection terminal, the key body can be inserted into the expansion hole, so that the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are electrically connected, and then the first controller can read the user identity information in the executable instruction storage medium, and after confirming that the user identity is correct, the first controller controls the linear motor 320 to retract, and the second end 220 can be inserted into or out of the locking hole 120, so that the lock hook 200 switches to the active state. If the user identity does not match, the first controller keeps the lock hook 200 in the locked state.

[0060] Exemplarily, the executable instruction storage medium may also be electrically connected to other terminal devices, such as a computer or a smart phone, through the second connection terminal.

[0061] Exemplarily, the executable instruction storage medium can be a tangible medium that can contain or store a computer program for use by or in combination with an instruction execution system, device or equipment. The executable instruction storage medium can include, but is not limited to, electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor systems, devices or equipment, or any suitable combination of the above. Exemplarily, the executable instruction storage medium can be a machine-readable signal medium. More specific examples of executable instruction storage media include electrical connections based on one or more lines, portable computer disks, hard disks, random access memories (RAM), read-only memories (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memories (EPROM or flash memory), optical fibers, portable compact disk read-only memories (CD-ROM), optical storage devices, magnetic storage devices, or any suitable combination of the above.

[0062] Before the key component is used, the user identity information of the executable instruction storage medium of the key component can be authorized in the first controller for subsequent user identity matching or verification, so that one key component can correspond to more than two smart padlock systems, or one smart padlock system can correspond to more than two key components, or the above two situations can coexist, or one key component can correspond to one smart padlock system.

[0063] In one embodiment, the key assembly further includes a first power source and an on-off switch.

[0064] The first power supply is electrically connected to the second controller and the executable instruction storage medium, and the first power supply provides electrical energy to the second controller and the executable instruction storage medium.

[0065] The on-off switch is arranged between the first power supply and the second controller, so that the second controller can establish or disconnect the electrical connection with the first power supply.

[0066] The linear motor 320, the pressure sensor 330 and the first controller are also electrically connected to a second power supply, which provides power to the linear motor 320, the pressure sensor 330 and the first controller. When the second power supply is damaged or lacks power, the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are electrically connected, and the first power supply can supply power to the first controller, the pressure sensor 330 and the linear motor 320 through the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal. Moreover, when the first power supply is damaged or lacks power, the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are electrically connected, and the second power supply can supply power to the second controller and the executable instruction storage medium through the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal.

[0067] In one embodiment, the smart padlock system further includes a player, and the player is disposed on the lock body 100. For example, the player is disposed inside the lock body 100. In another embodiment, the player is disposed outside the lock body 100.

[0068] The player is electrically connected to the first controller. Exemplarily, the first controller can control the player to broadcast voice. For example, when the lock hook 200 is switched to the active state, the first controller controls the player to broadcast a successful unlocking prompt sound. When the lock hook 200 is switched to the locked state, the first controller controls the player to broadcast a successful locking prompt sound. Alternatively, when the user identity does not match, the first controller controls the player to broadcast a failed unlocking prompt sound. Of course, the above is only an example and does not limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] In one embodiment, the smart padlock system further includes a smart terminal and a server, and the smart terminal is connected to the server in communication. The smart terminal includes but is not limited to a smart phone, a computer, a wearable device capable of scanning a code, and the wearable device is such as VR, a smart watch / ring.

[0070] The control component also includes a wireless communication unit electrically connected to the first controller, and the first controller establishes a wireless communication connection with the intelligent terminal and / or the server through the wireless communication unit.

[0071] A QR code containing identification information of the lock body 100 is set on the lock body 100, the smart terminal stores user identity information, and the smart terminal can recognize the QR code and send the lock body 100 identification information and user identity information to the server. The server controls the lock hook 200 to maintain a locked state or switch to an active state through the first controller.

[0072] Exemplarily, a transparent shell and a fixing plate are provided on the lock body 100, the fixing plate is provided on the lock body 100 by welding, bolting or clamping, a QR code containing identification information of the lock body 100 is provided on the fixing plate, the transparent shell is provided on the lock body 100 by welding, bolting or clamping, and the fixing plate is located in the transparent shell. The transparent shell is made of plastic or glass.

[0073] During use, the user starts the corresponding app on the smart terminal, and uses the smart terminal to scan the QR code on the lock body 100 through the app to obtain the identity identification information of the lock body 100, and clicks to unlock on the app. The smart terminal sends an unlocking signal including the identification information of the lock body 100 and the user's identity information to the server. The server matches the user's identity information with the registered and stored user data in the database and the corresponding lock body QR code information. If the match is successful, the unlocking signal is sent to the corresponding wireless communication unit connected to the first controller, and the first controller receives the server's command through the wireless communication unit.
