[0053] Please refer to Figure 10-11 , Fig.10 which is a schematic structural diagram of a shared power bank provided by an embodiment of the present application. Fig.11 which is a schematic structural diagram of the combination of a power bank and an electronic lock provided by an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides a shared power bank 1000, which includes a cabinet 100 and a plurality of power banks 200. The cabinet 100 is provided with a plurality of compartments 101 and a plurality of electronic locks 1. A plurality of power banks 200 can be detachably inserted into the plurality of compartments 101 of the cabinet 100 one by one. Among them, each electronic lock 1 is arranged between two adjacent compartments 101 for locking and unlocking the power banks 200 corresponding to these two compartments 101.

[0054] Please refer to in combination Figure 1-2 , Figure 1It is a first internal structure schematic diagram of an electronic lock provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the second internal structure of the electronic lock provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides an electronic lock 1, which is applied to a shared power bank 1000, and is intended to prevent the shared power bank 1000 from being illegally stolen or abused. The electronic lock 1 includes a housing 11 and an elastic locking structure 12, a toggle structure 13, an in-place switch 14, a drive motor 15, and a motor reset button 16 arranged inside the housing 11. The toggle structure 13 and the in-place switch 14 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the elastic locking structure 12, the drive motor 15 is electrically connected to the toggle structure 13, and the toggle structure 13 is operable to toggle the elastic locking structure 12 under the drive of the drive motor 15, so that the elastic locking structure 12 unlocks the corresponding power bank 200. The in-place switch 14 is used to detect whether the elastic locking structure 12 is in the reset position. The motor reset button 16 is arranged on the side of the toggle structure 13 away from the elastic locking structure 12 and is in rotational contact with the toggle structure 13, and is used to detect whether the drive motor 15 is in the reset position.

[0055] In this embodiment, the reset position is used to determine whether the power bank 200 corresponding to the elastic locking structure 12 is correctly reset. When the elastic locking structure 12 slides to the reset position, the in-place switch 14 will be triggered, thereby confirming that the power bank 200 corresponding to the elastic locking structure 12 has been accurately in place, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the electronic lock 1. The reset position refers to a specific position to which the drive motor 15 needs to return after completing the unlocking operation. The specific position is the reference point for the drive motor 15 to start the next unlocking operation. When the drive motor 15 drives the toggle structure 13 to rotate to the reset position, the motor reset button 16 will be triggered, thereby detecting that the drive motor 15 has reached the reset position, ensuring the reliability and repeatability of the electronic lock 1.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 41 is a schematic diagram of the external structure of an electronic lock provided in an embodiment of the present application. The housing 11 includes an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112, and the upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112 enclose a receiving chamber 113 for receiving components such as an elastic locking structure 12, a toggle structure 13, an in-position switch 14, a drive motor 15, and a motor reset button 16. The housing 11 is also provided with openings 114 on the opposite sides thereof, for allowing the elastic locking structure 12 to be partially exposed from the housing 11. In this embodiment, the lower housing 112 is provided with a plurality of card blocks 1121, and a plurality of perforated cassettes 1111 are extended to the lower housing 112 at positions corresponding to the plurality of card blocks 1121. The upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112 are buckled together by the plurality of card blocks 1121 and the plurality of perforated cassettes 1111, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the electronic lock 1. It can be understood that in other feasible embodiments, the upper housing 111 and the lower housing 112 of the electronic lock 1 can also be combined together using other structures, which are not limited here.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 1 is a schematic diagram of the first structure of the elastic locking structure provided in one embodiment of the present application. The elastic locking structure 12 includes a first locking structure 121, a second locking structure 122, and an elastic member 123. The first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are slidably installed in the housing 11. Specifically, the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are respectively provided with a first toggle groove 1212 and a second toggle groove 1222, and the toggle structure 13 can be operably rotated to abut against the first toggle groove 1212 or the second toggle groove 1222, thereby toggling the first locking structure 121 or the second locking structure 122, so that the first locking structure 121 or the second locking structure 122 slides inside the housing 11.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the second structure of the elastic locking structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. The elastic member 123 is arranged between the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122. When the toggle structure 13 is operably rotated to stop toggling the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122, the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 slide toward the outside of the shell 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 123. In this embodiment, the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are respectively provided with a first mounting boss 1213 and a second mounting boss 1223. The first mounting boss 1213 and the second mounting boss 1223 are both arranged toward the elastic member 123. One end of the elastic member 123 is sleeved on the first mounting boss 1213, and the other end is sleeved on the second mounting boss 1223. In this embodiment, the elastic member 123 is a spring. In some other feasible embodiments, the elastic member 123 may be elastic foam or a gasket.、 Shrapnel, etc.

[0059] The first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are respectively provided with a first buckle 1211 and a second buckle 1221, and the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1221 are both arranged away from the elastic member 123. The first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1221 can be exposed to the housing 11 through the openings 114 on both sides of the housing 11, or the first buckle 1211 and the second buckle 1221 can be operatively retracted into the housing 11 under the action of an external force, so that one of the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 slides toward the other. It can be understood that the external force refers to the driving force on the corresponding first buckle 1211 or the second buckle 1221 when the power bank 200 is inserted into the compartment 101. In this embodiment, the power bank 200 is provided with a card slot 201 for engaging with the first card buckle 1211 or the second card buckle 1221. When the first card buckle 1211 and the second card buckle 1221 are exposed or retracted in the shell 11, the first card buckle 1211 and the second card buckle 1221 will engage with or stop engaging with the card slot 201, thereby achieving locking or unlocking of the corresponding power bank 200.

[0060] The first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are respectively provided with a first in-place portion 1214 and a second in-place portion 1224. The first in-place portion 1214 and the second in-place portion 1224 are both arranged toward the in-place switch 14. In the present embodiment, the in-place switch 14 includes a first in-place switch 141 and a second in-place switch 142, the first in-place switch 141 corresponds to the first locking structure 121, and the second in-place switch 142 corresponds to the second locking structure 122, which are respectively used to detect whether the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are in the return position. Taking the first locking structure 121 as an example for explanation, when the first locking structure 121 slides to the return position, the first in-place portion 1214 touches the first in-place switch 141 so that the first in-place switch 141 is triggered, thereby judging that the power bank 200 corresponding to the first locking structure 121 has been correctly returned to its position.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 31 is a schematic diagram of the third internal structure of the electronic lock provided in one embodiment of the present application. The first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are respectively provided with a first sliding bar 1215 and a second sliding bar 1225. Specifically, the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 slide toward or away from each other on the same straight line, and the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 are respectively provided with a first sliding bar 1215 and a second sliding bar 1225 along the sliding direction. Accordingly, the housing 11 includes a sliding groove 115 provided along the sliding direction of the elastic locking structure 12, which is engaged with the first sliding bar 1215 and the second sliding bar 1225, for the elastic locking structure 12 to slide in the housing 11. In this embodiment, the first locking structure 121 is provided with a first slide bar 1215 on one side facing the upper shell 111 and on one side facing the lower shell 112, and the second locking structure 122 is provided with a second slide bar 1225 on one side facing the upper shell 111 and on one side facing the lower shell 112. Accordingly, the upper shell 111 and the lower shell 112 are both provided with a slide groove 115. It can be understood that the double-sided slide groove 115 can provide a more stable guiding effect, reducing the deviation or shaking of the elastic locking structure 12 during the sliding process.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the toggle structure 13 and the driving motor 15 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The toggle structure 13 includes a first toggle body 131 and a second toggle body 132. The first toggle body 131 and the second toggle body 132 are respectively operable to abut against the first toggle groove 1212 and the second toggle groove 1222, thereby toggling the first locking structure 121 or the second locking structure 122, so that one of the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 slides toward the other, thereby retracting the first buckle 1211 or the second buckle 1221 into the housing 11. In this embodiment, the first locking structure 121 is provided with two first toggle grooves 1212, and the second locking structure 122 is provided with two second toggle grooves 1222. The two first toggle grooves 1212 and the two second toggle grooves 1222 are staggered in pairs, so that when the first locking structure 121 and the second locking structure 122 slide toward each other, the sliding of one of them will not be affected by the position of the other. It can be understood that the first toggle body 131 is in the same height as one of the first toggle grooves 1212, and the second locking structure 122 is in the same height as one of the second toggle grooves 1222. The first toggle body 131 and the second toggle body 132 are in different heights in the axial direction of the toggle structure 13, and there is a certain gap in the axial direction. In this embodiment, the first toggle body 131 and the second toggle body 132 are both chamfered, so that the first toggle body 131 and the second toggle body 132 move more smoothly in the first toggle groove 1212 and the second toggle groove 1222. The smooth toggle action also means that the wear caused by friction is reduced, and the service life of the electronic lock 1 is extended.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 8-9 , Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of the forward transmission of the toggle structure 13 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 1 is a reverse schematic diagram of the toggle structure 13 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The drive motor 15 is electrically connected to the toggle structure 13, and is used to drive the toggle structure 13 to rotate forward or reverse, so that the first toggle body 131 and the second toggle body 132 can be operably rotated to toggle the first locking structure 121 or the second locking structure 122. In this embodiment, when the drive motor 15 drives the toggle structure 13 to rotate forward, the first toggle body 131 rotates to toggle the first locking structure 121, so that the first buckle 1211 is separated from the slot 201 of the power bank 200, thereby unlocking the power bank 200 in one of the positions. Correspondingly, when the drive motor 15 drives the toggle structure 13 to rotate in reverse, the second toggle body 132 rotates to toggle the second locking structure 122, so that the second buckle 1221 is separated from the slot 201 of the power bank 200, thereby unlocking the power bank 200 in another position. It is understandable that, since the driving motor 15 can only rotate in either forward or reverse direction, the electronic lock 1 can only unlock the power bank 200 in one position at a time.

[0064] The following will further introduce the specific process of the electronic lock 1 locking and unlocking the corresponding power bank 200 by taking the first locking structure 121 as an example: First, when the power bank 200 is not inserted into the compartment 101, the first buckle 1211 is in the initial state of being exposed to the shell 11. Secondly, during the process of inserting the power bank 200 into the compartment 101, the power bank 200 pushes the first buckle 1211 to move the first buckle 1211 toward the inside of the shell 11, and when the power bank 200 is inserted to the position where the card slot 201 is opposite to the first buckle 1211, the first buckle 1211 loses the driving force of the power bank 200 and moves toward the outside of the shell 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 123 to engage with the card slot 201 of the power bank 200, thereby locking the corresponding power bank 200. Once again, when the user rents the power bank 200 through legal means (such as scanning code payment, etc., which are not limited here), the cabinet 100 of the shared power bank 1000 will send an unlocking command to the electronic lock 1. In response to the unlocking command, the electronic lock 1 controls the toggle structure 13 to operably toggle the first locking structure 121, so that the first locking structure 121 slides toward the second locking structure 122, and then the first buckle 1211 retracts into the housing 11, thereby unlocking the corresponding power bank 200. Finally, when the corresponding power bank 200 is unlocked and the user pulls out the power bank 200, the electronic lock 1 controls the toggle structure 13 to stop toggling the first locking structure 121. At this time, the first locking structure 121 slides away from the second locking structure 122 under the elastic force of the elastic member 123, thereby restoring the first buckle 1211 to its initial state of being exposed outside the housing 11.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the first locking structure or the second locking structure is operated to be rotated by the first toggle body and the second toggle body respectively, so that the first locking structure or the second locking structure slides toward the inside of the housing, thereby unlocking the corresponding power bank, or the first locking structure and the second locking structure slide toward the outside of the housing under the elastic force of the elastic member, thereby locking the corresponding power bank. And because the electronic lock is provided with two locking structures, it is possible to lock or unlock the power banks in two positions by one electronic lock.

[0066] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is also intended to include these modifications and variations.

[0067] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed sequentially in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear indication in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and their execution order is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed alternately or in turn with at least a part of other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0068] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and of course, the scope of rights of the present application cannot be limited thereby. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
