The display element group 112 can be regarded as an 11-segment digital tube.

[0055] It is understandable that the applicant has considered that the second display unit is used to display the remaining time, and the remaining display time can only be represented by numbers, so the second display unit can be set to include at least one display element group 112. In this way, the remaining time can be displayed and the structure of the second display unit can be simple, occupying a smaller area.

[0056] Optionally, at least one first display element 111 is at least partially surrounded by the second display element 1121 .

[0057] Specifically, the first display unit includes at least one first display element 111 having the following characteristics: being at least partially surrounded by at least one second display element 1121. It should be noted that the number of first display elements 111 having this characteristic can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not limited here. Figure 2 , two thirds of the first display elements 111 are at least partially surrounded, and for another example, all the first display elements 111 are at least partially surrounded. But it is not limited thereto.

[0058] Specifically, for the first display element 111 that is at least partially surrounded, the degree of its surrounding and the number of second display elements 1121 that are surrounded by it can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and are not limited here. Figure 2, for each first display element 111 that is at least partially surrounded, it is surrounded by three second display elements 1121, and some first display elements 111 are partially surrounded by three second display elements 1121 that are surrounded in a square shape (or a U shape) with the opening facing upward, and some first display elements 111 are partially surrounded by three second display elements 1121 that are surrounded in a square shape (or an inverted U shape) with the opening facing downward. For another example, for each first display element 111 that is at least partially surrounded, it is fully surrounded by four second display elements 1121 that are surrounded in a square shape. But it is not limited to this.

[0059] Optionally, each display element group 112 surrounds at least one column of first display elements 111 .

[0064] It should be noted that the number of columns of the first display elements 111 between two adjacent display element groups 112 can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not limited here. Figure 2 As shown), or two columns of first display elements 111 are spaced apart, etc., but it is not limited thereto.

[0065] It can be understood that by setting at least one column of the first display elements 111 between two adjacent display element groups 112, an appropriate distance can be provided between two adjacent display element groups 112, preventing the adjacent two digits from being too dense when displaying the remaining waiting time. In this way, the readability can be improved, which is beneficial to reducing the reading error rate.

[0066] Optionally, the hollow area includes a plurality of first hollow areas and a plurality of second hollow areas; the plurality of first hollow areas correspond to the plurality of first display elements one by one; the plurality of second hollow areas correspond to the plurality of second display elements. In this way, the total area of the hollow area can be made smaller, that is, the area of the hollowed-out part on the main control board bracket 20 is smaller, which is beneficial to improving the supporting ability of the main control board bracket 20 for the main control board 10.

[0067] Optionally, the first hollow area is circular, and the plurality of first hollow areas are arranged in rows and columns.

[0068] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the hollow area 210 includes 12 circular first hollow areas 211, and the 12 first hollow areas 211 correspond to the 12 first display elements 111 one by one.

[0069] It can be understood that by setting the first hollow area 211 to be in a regular shape and arranging the plurality of first hollow areas 211 in rows and columns, it is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the first hollow area 211.

[0070] Optionally, some of the second hollow areas are in a U-shape with the opening facing upward, some of the second hollow areas are in an inverted U-shape with the opening facing downward, and some of the second hollow areas are in an H-shape. The plurality of second hollow areas are arranged in columns, and a second hollow area 212 in an inverted U-shape, a second hollow area 213 in an H-shape, and a second hollow area 214 in a U-shape arranged in sequence form a column of second hollow areas.

[0071] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the second hollow area 212 in a U-shape (i.e., a regular U-shape) with the opening facing upward corresponds to at least 3 second display elements 1121, the second hollow area 214 in an inverted U-shape (i.e., an inverted U-shape) with the opening facing downward corresponds to at least 3 second display elements 1121, and the second hollow area 213 in an H-shape corresponds to at least 5 second display elements 1121.

[0072] Exemplarily, continuing to refer to Figure 3 , the hollow area includes two columns of second hollow areas. Each column of second hollow areas includes, from top to bottom, a second hollow area 212 in an inverted U-shape, a second hollow area 213 in an H-shape, and a second hollow area 214 in a U-shape.

[0076] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 , the intelligent door lock further includes a light diffusion element 30, where the light diffusion element 30 is diffuser paper.

[0077] It can be understood that by providing the light diffusion element 30, the light emitted by the first display unit and the second display unit can be diffused, so that the finally presented key characters and the font of the remaining waiting time are thicker, which is beneficial for users to more clearly view the key characters and the remaining waiting time.

[0078] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the intelligent door lock may further include: a front panel 40. Of course, the intelligent door lock may further include: a screen installed on the front panel.

[0079] Exemplarily, the working condition of the intelligent door lock provided by the present disclosure will be described below in combination with a specific example. Referring to Figures 1 to 12 , after assembling the main control board 10, the main control board bracket 20, the light diffusion element 30, the front panel 40, the screen, and other structural components, since the second display unit can implement the function of counting down, where the counting-down principle is implemented by a timer in the controller, the controller can preset a fixed time period (such as 90 seconds), usually in seconds. Within this time period, the second display unit can display the remaining waiting time in real time. Therefore, when the main control board 10 is locked, the second display unit displays the value 90 and starts counting down, and the value displayed by the second display unit changes once per second. When the second display unit displays the value 00, it means that the main control board 10 has been unlocked, and the user can operate the door lock again.
