[0027] Referring to Figure 1-7 , a motor module with an internal clutch, which includes a housing assembly 10, a main gear 20, a main motor 30, a gear reduction assembly 40 and a clutch structure 50. The main gear 20 is rotatably arranged on the housing assembly 10, the main motor 30 is fixedly arranged on the housing assembly 10, the gear reduction assembly 40 is arranged in the housing assembly 10, and the gear reduction assembly 40 is connected to the rotating shaft of the main motor 30. The gear reduction assembly 40 includes an output gear pair 41. The clutch structure 50 includes a bracket and a clutch gear 52. The bracket is movably arranged in the housing assembly 10 and can rotate around the axis of the output gear pair 41. The clutch gear 52 is rotatably arranged on the bracket, and the clutch gear 52 meshes with the output gear pair 41.
[0028] In some working modes: the main motor 30 can operate to drive the output gear pair 41 to rotate clockwise. The clutch gear 52 meshing with it rotates counterclockwise, and the clutch structure 50 rotates around the axis of the output gear pair 41. The clutch gear 52 moves closer to the main gear 20 until they mesh. Then, the main gear 20 can be driven to rotate clockwise through the clutch gear 52, and the mechanical lock body can be driven to operate through the main gear 20. After the main gear 20 rotates to the required angle, the main motor 30 switches to reverse operation, driving the output gear pair 41 to rotate counterclockwise, driving the clutch structure 50 to rotate so that the clutch gear 52 disengages from the main gear 20. At this time, the clutch gear 52 is separated from the main gear 20, and the intelligent lock reaches the empty position mode, and the key or knob can be freely rotated to lock or unlock. In addition, after the main motor 30 runs in reverse to separate the clutch gear 52 from the main gear 20, the main motor 30 can continue to run in reverse, driving the clutch structure 50 to continue to rotate so that the clutch gear 52 meshes with the main gear 20 again.
[0029] In the above structure, a clutch structure 50 is provided in the motor module. The main gear 20 can directly drive the mechanical lock body to operate. By using the forward and reverse rotation of the main motor 30, the meshing transmission and separation between the clutch gear 52 and the main gear 20 can be realized, which can meet the requirement of the motor module to drive the mechanical lock body to operate for locking and unlocking, and can also realize the vacant position mode required for key / knob locking and unlocking. There is no need to set up a transmission structure composed of half teeth, paddles, etc. between the motor module and the main gear 20, which simplifies the structure of the intelligent lock. Moreover, as an integral component, the motor module participates in the overall assembly of the intelligent lock, which can simplify the assembly process and improve the assembly production efficiency during the overall assembly production of the intelligent lock.
