Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fingerprint locks, in particular to a fingerprint lock with a fingerprint cleaning function. Background Technique
[0002] With the rapid development of smart home technology, fingerprint locks have gradually become a common choice for modern families and workplaces due to their convenience and security. Compared with traditional mechanical locks or password locks, fingerprint locks have unique advantages: users can unlock by simply fingerprint recognition, saving the trouble of carrying keys or memorizing passwords.
[0003] However, some deficiencies have emerged in the actual use of existing fingerprint locks. Especially when there is dirt, grease, moisture or other foreign substances on the fingerprint surface, the fingerprint sensor often cannot correctly read the fingerprint pattern. This situation is particularly obvious when the user's finger is not clean, resulting in the user being unable to unlock smoothly, affecting the user experience and the use efficiency of the fingerprint lock. In some extreme cases, the user may be locked out due to the fingerprint not being recognized and even need to rely on alternative unlocking methods (such as passwords or mechanical keys), which greatly weakens the original convenience of the fingerprint lock.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a fingerprint lock that can automatically clean the fingerprint surface before unlocking to reduce recognition failures caused by dirty fingerprints. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and propose a fingerprint lock with a fingerprint cleaning function, which can effectively remove dirt, grease and moisture on the fingerprint to ensure that the sensor can accurately identify the user's fingerprint, thereby improving the unlocking success rate, reducing recognition failures caused by dirty fingerprints, and further enhancing the user experience.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the specific technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0007] A fingerprint lock with a fingerprint cleaning function includes a fingerprint lock base and a fingerprint unlocking device installed on the fingerprint lock base, and also includes a fingerprint cleaning device installed on the fingerprint lock base. The fingerprint cleaning device includes a base, a disinfection and cleaning liquid storage cavity, a cleaning ball, and a drying roller embedded in the front side of the base. The disinfection and cleaning liquid storage cavity is arranged in the base, and an opening groove adapted to the cleaning ball is opened on the front side. The cleaning ball is rotatably installed on the front side of the base and extends into the disinfection and cleaning liquid storage cavity through the opening groove.
[0008] Further, an installation groove adapted to the drying roller is formed on the front side surface of the base. The drying roller is rotatably installed in the installation groove through a roller rotating shaft. One end of the drying roller is inserted into the roller rotating shaft, and the other end is limited by a roller unlocking slider. The roller unlocking slider is slidably connected to the base. A through groove for installing the roller unlocking slider is formed on the left side surface of the base at the position of the installation groove, that is, on the left side wall of the installation groove.
[0009] Further, the cleaning ball is rotatably installed on the front side surface of the base through a cleaning ball fixing ring. The cleaning ball fixing ring is threadedly connected to the base.
[0010] Further, a warning lamp is also installed on the front side surface of the base. The warning lamp is in a circular ring shape and is arranged outside the cleaning ball fixing ring.
[0011] Further, a disinfection cleaning liquid adding port communicated with the disinfection cleaning liquid storage cavity is arranged on the upper top surface of the base. A disinfection cleaning liquid sealing cover is arranged in the disinfection cleaning liquid adding port.
