Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of padlocks, and in particular to an intelligent Internet of Things safety lock. Background Art
[0002] Factories and warehouses need to be locked to protect property safety. Currently, factories and warehouses all use padlocks. However, if only simple padlocks are used, it is easy for workers to fail to lock the padlocks, leaving the padlocks unlocked. The staff also have no way to remotely know whether the padlocks are locked, making it impossible to ensure the property safety of factories and warehouses. The excessive distribution of padlocks also makes it impossible to quickly identify the corresponding keys. As a result, security personnel will need to spend too much time inspecting assets inside factories and warehouses because they cannot quickly find the corresponding keys. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] See also Figure 1-9 A smart IoT security lock includes an inner shell 1 and a lock cylinder 2 arranged inside the inner shell 1. A movable part 21 is provided above the lock cylinder 2. When the lock cylinder 2 rotates, the movable part 21 rotates with the lock cylinder 2. A communication processing module 3 is provided on the surface of the inner shell 1. The communication processing module 3 includes a position sensor 31 for detecting the position of the movable part 21. Through the movable part and the communication processing module, it can be detected whether the padlock is in a locked state, and the locking state of the padlock can be uploaded to the server, so that the staff can remotely determine whether the padlock is locked through the Internet of Things platform and app.
[0030] In some embodiments, the movable part 21 is composed of a rotating block 22 and a magnet located on one side of the rotating block 22 that can be detected by the position sensor 31. The communication processing module 3 also includes a circuit board 32 that allows the position sensor 31 to work normally. The position sensor 31 is installed on a side of the circuit board 32 close to the lock cylinder 2. The output end of the position sensor 31 is electrically connected to the receiving end of the circuit board 32. The communication processing module 3 also includes an antenna 34 for sending and receiving signals. The antenna 34 is located on the surface of the circuit board 32. The receiving end of the antenna 34 is electrically connected to the output end of the circuit board 32. The position sensor 31 is a Hall sensor 33 that can sense magnetism. When the lock is to be opened, the lock cylinder 2 can be rotated by the key. When the lock cylinder 2 rotates, the lock cylinder 2 will rotate with the movable part 21. The RC level of the Hall sensor 33 is The processing circuit and the diode signal filtering circuit enable the communication processing module 3 to sense the change of the switch lock state while sensing the current switch lock state, and trigger the module to exit sleep mode with the change of the switch lock state. The communication processing module 3 detects the switch state of the lock according to the trigger state of the Hall sensor 33. When the communication processing module 3 detects that the trigger state of the Hall sensor 33 has changed, the communication processing module 3 will automatically cancel sleep mode and report the current lock switch state data to the server. The communication processing module 3 adopts the NB-IoT network communication method and the OpenCPU data acquisition and processing method. When the lock state does not change, the communication processing module 3 will automatically report the current lock switch state data to the server every 12 hours, and will be in sleep mode for the rest of the time.
[0031] In some embodiments, a base plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the inner shell 1, and a circuit board 32 is installed on the base plate 11. A battery 12 is installed on the base plate 11, and the output end of the battery 12 is electrically connected to the receiving end of the circuit board 32. Two connecting blocks 15 are provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 13. The two connecting blocks 15 are symmetrically arranged. Both connecting blocks 15 are provided with positioning grooves 16 that cooperate with the circuit board 32. The detachable connection between the base plate 11 and the inner shell 1 is a fixation between standard screws and threads, which ensures that the connection between the base plate 11 and the inner shell 1 is stable. At the same time, a protective plate is also provided under the base plate 11. The protective plate can ensure that the connection between the base plate 11 and the outer shell 13 is not easy to be disassembled, and the battery 12 can power the circuit board 32 and the position sensor 31, so that the position sensor 31 can work normally. During the installation of the outer shell 13, the two ends of the circuit board 32 will enter the positioning groove 16, so that the circuit board 32 remains stable during use and will not be bumped.
[0032] In some embodiments, an outer shell 13 is provided on the surface of the bottom plate 11, and the outer shell 13 and the bottom plate 11 are detachably connected. The inner shell 1 is located inside the outer shell 13, and two steel balls 23 are provided above the movable part 21. A limiting part 24 is provided above the movable part 21, and the two steel balls 23 are located on the surface of the limiting part 24. The two steel balls 23 are symmetrically arranged. A lock buckle 14 is installed inside the inner shell 1, and a card slot 25 that cooperates with the steel ball 23 is provided on the surface of the lock buckle 14. When the limiting part 24 is rotated to the limiting position, it will contact the steel ball 23, so that the steel ball 23 is stuck in the card slot 25. When the limiting part 24 is rotated to the release position, it will move away from the steel ball 23, so that the steel ball 23 can be detached from the card slot 25. A sealing ring 17 is provided on the surface of the inner shell 1, and the sealing ring 17 is located between the inner shell 1 and the outer shell 13 A Type-C interface is provided at the bottom of the circuit board 32, and a sealing gasket 18 is provided under the bottom plate 11 to cooperate with the Type-C interface. When the lock buckle 14 is to be unlocked, the lock core 2 can be rotated. After the lock core 2 rotates, the movable part 21 will also rotate together. After the movable part 21 rotates, the limit part 24 will also rotate. After the limit part 24 rotates, the position of the recessed part on the surface will correspond to the position of the steel ball 23, so that the steel ball 23 can move, so that the steel ball 23 cannot limit the lock buckle 14, so that the lock buckle 14 can be unlocked, thereby unlocking the lock head. At the same time, the sealing ring 17 and the sealing gasket 18 are both made of silicone. The sealing ring 17 can make the space between the outer shell 13 and the inner shell 1 a closed space, and the sealing gasket 18 can prevent the battery 12, the communication processing module 3, and the antenna 34 from contacting external moisture.
