[0002] A communication adapter is an intelligent circuit, and its main function is to convert parallel data in a computer into serial data to connect to shared resources. It is a network component working at the data link layer and is an interface for connecting a computer and a transmission medium in a local area network. A communication adapter can not only achieve physical connection and electrical signal matching with the transmission medium of the local area network, but also involves functions such as frame sending and receiving, frame encapsulation and decapsulation, medium access control, data encoding and decoding, and data caching;

[0003] At present, most existing power facilities need to be locked to ensure safety during use. However, most of the locks used are mechanical locks. When the mechanical lock needs to be opened, a special key is required. Searching for the key of a specific power distribution cabinet one by one among many keys takes a lot of time and energy. Especially in an emergency, this low efficiency may affect the work progress. Moreover, due to the large number of keys and their similar appearance, operators may sometimes mistakenly take the keys of other power distribution cabinets, resulting in the inability to open the target power distribution cabinet, further increasing the complexity and time cost of problem-solving. Finally, the management of mechanical keys is also a challenge, and it is necessary to ensure that each key has a clear identification and ownership to prevent loss or confusion. All of these greatly increase the workload of operators and may also bring some inconveniences and efficiency problems. Content of the Utility Model
