Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of locks, in particular to an intelligent lock. Background Art
[0002] An electric plug lock is an electronically controlled lock that drives the protrusion or retraction of a "lock tongue" through the on-off of an electric current to achieve the functions of locking or unlocking a door. Generally, an electric plug lock consists of two main parts: a lock body and a lock hole. The key component in the lock body is the "lock tongue", which can cooperate with the "lock hole" to achieve two states of "closing the door" and "opening the door", that is, the lock tongue inserts into the lock hole to close the door, and the lock tongue leaves the lock hole to open the door. Therefore, electric plug locks are often used on various swing doors. At the same time, its "hidden" installation feature is more suitable for places with high requirements for the confidentiality of the lock body.
[0003] An intelligent lock is different from a traditional mechanical lock and is a lock that is more intelligent in terms of user identification, security, management, etc. At present, for the electric plug lock on the market that uses a motor-driven gear mechanism, since all transmission gears are directly connected to the motor, when the power is off, forcibly opening and rotating the gears will damage the gearbox inside the motor, resulting in the damage of the entire lock, so it is impossible to directly perform an emergency unlocking.
[0004] Secondly, due to the influence of its own structure, in actual use, there is a possibility of misoperation for an intelligent lock. For example, after unlocking is completed, accidentally pressing the control switch of the intelligent lock will cause the intelligent lock to function, resulting in damage or jamming of the gears inside the motor due to the impact caused by the forced large-current stall when the transmission gears rotate to the limit.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to study a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0093] In the electronic unlocking state, the first PCB board 12 receives a control signal. The second PCB board 21 determines whether it is in the locked state or the unlocked state by judging the position of the first magnetic part through the first Hall element 26, and judges the operating state of the driving unit 25 through the second Hall element 27;
[0094] When it is in the locked state, the second PCB board 21 controls the driving unit 25 to drive the lock core rotating shaft 30, so that the convex part 31 slides to the unlocking position 233; after the door is opened, at this time, the unlocking protection part resets under the action of the elastic part, and the locking part 241 of the unlocking protection part 24 and the locked part 231 are locked with each other, and the second magnetic part approaches to trigger the second Hall element 27;
[0095] When it is in the unlocked state and the door is closed, the unlocking protection part will be pressed down by the door frame so that the locking part and the locked part are separated and the second magnetic part also moves away from the second Hall element. At this time, the second PCB board 21 controls the driving unit 25 to reverse, so that the convex part 31 slides to the locking position 232. At this time, the manual unlocking block 23 can slide up and down, and the second magnetic part moves away from the second Hall element 27;
[0096] When the switch lock button 22 is pressed in the unlocked state, the second PCB board 21 receives a control signal. The second PCB board 21 determines whether it is in the locked state or the unlocked state by judging the position of the first magnetic part through the first Hall element 26, and judges the operating state of the driving unit 25 through the second Hall element 27; when it is in the locked state, the second PCB board 21 controls the driving unit 25 to drive the lock core rotating shaft 30, so that the convex part 31 slides to the unlocking position 233; after the door is opened, the unlocking protection part 24 resets under the action of the elastic part, so that the locking part 241 of the unlocking protection part 24 and the locked part 231 are locked with each other, and the second magnetic part approaches to trigger the second Hall element 27;
[0097] When it is in the unlocked state and the door is closed, the second PCB board 21 controls the driving unit 25 to reverse, so that the convex part 31 slides to the locking position 232. At this time, the manual unlocking block 23 can slide up and down, and the second magnetic part moves away from the second Hall element 27;
[0098] When the manual unlocking block 23 is toggled to the unlocking state, the manual unlocking block 23 slides the convex portion 31 from the locking position 232 to the unlocking position 233. Since the second transmission rack 342 can be floatingly engaged with the first transmission rack 331 through the idle spring 35, in this state, the worm gear 34 and the worm 251 do not move, and correspondingly, the internal micro gears of the reduction motor are protected.
[0099] The design focus of the present utility model is that mainly through the structural design and cooperation among the lock switch button, the manual unlocking block, the unlocking protection member, the worm gear and worm drive structure and the drive unit, and by using the cooperation between the first Hall element and the second Hall element and the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member respectively, the operation and opening / closing of the drive unit can be controlled, thereby protecting the drive unit; moreover, in case of emergency, emergency unlocking can be achieved by toggling the manual unlocking block; multiple unlocking methods are combined and used, including electronic unlocking with a mechanical key, manual unlocking with the manual unlocking block, and unlocking with the lock switch button, and people can flexibly select the unlocking mode according to their needs, thereby improving the use stability of the lock and the user experience. In particular, its structure is simple, the linkage structure between the worm gear and worm drive structure and the drive unit is stable and reliable, the unlocking is accurate and fast, and it has high reliability and is suitable for popularization and application;
[0100] Secondly, through the design of the unlocking protection member, in the unlocking state, the locking portion and the locked portion of the unlocking protection member are locked with each other, and the second magnetic member approaches to trigger the second Hall element. In this state, any lock closing request will not be responded to, thereby avoiding the loss or jamming of the internal secondary gears of the drive unit caused by stall in the case of accidental touch;
[0101] Then, in the electronic unlocking state, the first PCB board receives the control signal, and the second PCB board determines whether it is in the locked state or the unlocked state by judging the position of the first magnetic member through the first Hall element, and judges the operating state of the drive unit through the second Hall element; when it is in the locked state, the second PCB board controls the drive unit to drive the worm gear and worm drive structure, so that the convex portion slides to the unlocking position; after the door is opened, the unlocking protection member resets under the action of the elastic member. At this time, the locking portion and the locked portion of the unlocking protection member are locked with each other, and the second magnetic member approaches to trigger the second Hall element; when it is in the unlocked state and the door is closed, the second PCB board controls the drive unit to reverse, so that the convex portion slides to the locking position. At this time, the manual unlocking block can slide up and down, and the second magnetic member is away from the second Hall element; it can identify whether it is anti-locked without the user having to check and confirm by himself,
[0102] Finally, the first Hall switch and the second Hall switch do not directly contact the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, which improves the service life of the first Hall switch, the second Hall switch, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member.
[0103] As described above, it is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and does not impose any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
