[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent locks, in particular to a full-metal intelligent lock. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent locks are the perfect combination of computer information technology, electronic technology, mechanical technology and modern hardware technology. Fingerprint authentication has the characteristics of convenience, speed and accuracy. With the popularization of science and technology and the development of smart home, more and more people begin to choose fingerprint locks.

[0003] Ordinary fingerprint locks or password locks are both provided with two touch screens on the panel, one larger for entering the password to unlock and one smaller for fingerprint recognition. Since the materials of the touch screens generally use non-metallic materials such as glass or silicon, they need to be spliced with the metal shell of the lock, which not only has complex technology but also is prone to technological defects, and the safety performance is also poor.
