Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic locks, in particular to an electric plug lock. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing improvement of people's living standards, conventional mechanical locks can no longer meet the needs of users, and electronic locks have become a necessary choice for most families. However, most of the existing electronic locks have complex structures, and a variety of complex limit switches need to be set inside for limit feedback. The unlocking and locking of the lock body are realized by precisely controlling the rotation time of the motor, which increases the control difficulty of the motor, has a high manufacturing cost, a high control failure rate, and is not conducive to improving the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the disadvantages and deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an electric plug lock.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved by the following technical solutions: an electric plug lock, including a housing, a lock tongue, a gear set and a drive are arranged inside the housing, and a locking spring is arranged at one end of the lock tongue;
[0005] When unlocking, the drive drives the lock tongue to retract into the housing through the gear set; the locking spring is compressed;
[0006] When locking, the drive drives the gear set to reset to cancel the locking restriction on the lock tongue, and the locking spring pushes the lock tongue to extend out of the housing. The lock tongue can extend through the limit hole on the latch plate to realize locking.
[0007] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the utility model, a locking signal contact member is arranged on the lock tongue, and a locking signal contact seat is also arranged inside the housing. When the lock tongue extends out for locking, the locking signal contact member contacts the locking signal contact seat to connect the locking signal. When the locking signal is connected, the drive is in a standby state. When unlocking is required, an unlocking signal needs to be input through a password or fingerprint, and the PCB board receives the unlocking signal and then controls the drive to unlock.
[0008] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, the locking signal contact member includes a connecting member and a contact elastic sheet. One end of the connecting member is fixedly connected to the lock tongue, and the other end of the connecting member is provided with a limiting cavity. A buffer spring is arranged in the limiting cavity. The contact elastic sheet is arranged in the limiting cavity and connected to the buffer spring, and both ends of the contact elastic sheet extend outside the limiting cavity. The buffer spring has two functions. The first function is to pre-tighten the contact between the contact elastic sheet and the electrical connection sheet to prevent poor contact. The second function is to play the role of the locking buffer elastic force. When the locking spring ejects the lock tongue, it has a certain elastic buffer force, which can prevent the contact elastic sheet and the electrical connection sheet from being bruised or damaged by each other.
[0009] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, contact pieces are respectively arranged at both ends of the contact elastic sheet, and positioning columns are arranged on the contact pieces. The positioning columns can enable the contact elastic sheet to be accurately docked with the electrical connection sheet.
[0010] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, two electrical connection seats are arranged at intervals on the locking signal contact seat, electrical connection sheets are arranged on both of the two electrical connection seats, and limiting holes are arranged on the electrical connection sheets;
[0011] When the contact piece contacts the electrical connection sheet, the positioning column is matched with the limiting hole for limiting. It can prevent displacement when the contact piece and the electrical connection sheet are in contact.
[0012] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, a PCB board is further arranged in the shell. The locking signal contact seat is electrically connected to the PCB board, and a first Hall switch and a second Hall switch are arranged at intervals on the PCB board.
[0013] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, the gear set includes an intermediate transmission gear, and an induction magnetic core is arranged on the intermediate transmission gear. The induction magnetic core can mutually induce with the first Hall switch or the second Hall switch and control the drive to stop rotating. When the control circuit receives an unlocking signal, the drive rotates forward, driving the lock tongue to extend into the shell until the induction magnetic core mutually induces with the first Hall switch, the circuit is disconnected, and the drive stops rotating. At this time, it is in the unlocking state; when the control circuit receives a locking signal, the drive rotates in the reverse direction, and the gear set resets until the induction magnetic core mutually induces with the second Hall switch, the circuit is disconnected, the drive stops rotating, and the gear set resets to cancel the restriction on the extension of the lock tongue, and the locking spring pushes the lock tongue out to lock.
[0014] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, the gear set further includes a rack. A sliding groove is arranged on one side of the rack, and the rack meshes with the intermediate transmission gear; a slider is arranged on the bottom surface of the rack, and a sliding groove matching with the slider is arranged in the shell. The slider is embedded in the sliding groove, which can ensure the linear movement of the rack.
[0015] A toggle lever is further provided on the lock tongue, and one end of the toggle lever extends into the sliding groove. When unlocking, the movement of the rack can drive the lock tongue to move, and when the rack resets, it will not drive the lock tongue to move. The lock tongue is pushed by a spring, and the toggle lever can move in the sliding groove.
[0016] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, the gear set further includes a safety tooth. A first face gear is provided on the bottom surface of the safety tooth. The first face gear meshes with a second face gear. A wheel shaft is provided in the middle of the second face gear. The wheel shaft penetrates through the safety tooth. A clutch spring is sleeved on the wheel shaft. One end of the clutch spring abuts against the upper end surface of the safety tooth. The safety tooth meshes with the intermediate transmission gear;
[0017] An emergency manual unlocking connection seat is provided in the middle of the intermediate transmission gear. When unlocking by rotating the intermediate transmission gear with a triangular maintenance wrench, the first face gear and the second face gear are separated. This setting of the safety tooth can prevent the gearbox and the motor from being damaged during manual unlocking. The emergency manual unlocking connection seat is triangular and is not used when the lock is normally opened and closed.
[0018] As an improvement of the electric plug lock of the present utility model, the drive includes a micro motor and a gearbox. The micro motor drives the gearbox to output power through a worm. The gearbox is connected to the wheel shaft through an output gear. When the micro motor does not drive the worm to rotate, the worm has self-locking property, which can prevent the turbine from reversing or reversing under the action of external force, and can lock the lock tongue in the housing in the unlocked state.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The present utility model uses a locking spring to push the lock tongue to lock, and the drive controls the lock tongue to unlock. When the locking spring locks, the drive can control the gear assembly to reset to realize the locking and yielding of the lock tongue. The locking spring pushes the lock tongue to pop out and lock, which can prevent the phenomenon of false locking. After the present utility model is in the locked and unlocked states, it does not need to be continuously powered on, with low energy consumption, energy saving and environmental protection.
