[0021] 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.

[0022] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0023] The utility model provides a mechanical unlocking mechanism for an electronic faucet lock.

[0024] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1-4 The mechanical unlocking mechanism of the electronic faucet lock includes a housing 1, an electronic drive mechanism 2, a lock rod 3, a lock rod linkage block 4 and a lock core 5, and also includes a mechanical unlocking mechanism. The mechanical unlocking mechanism includes an unlocking shaft 6 connected to the lock core 5, an unlocking plate 7 connected to the lock rod linkage block at one end, a spring plate 8 fixed to the housing, and a return spring 9 sleeved on the unlocking shaft. The bottom of the unlocking shaft has an unlocking step 10, and the unlocking plate is provided with an unlocking step 2 11 adapted to the above-mentioned unlocking step 1.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the overall design of the mechanical unlocking mechanism realizes a reliable backup unlocking function for the electronic faucet lock in the event of electronic drive failure. The unlocking shaft is connected to the lock cylinder. When mechanical unlocking is required, the lock cylinder key is inserted, and the lock cylinder and the unlocking shaft are pressed downward, so that the unlocking step 1 below the unlocking shaft connects with the unlocking step 2 on the unlocking plate. The rotation of the unlocking shaft is accurately converted into lateral movement of the unlocking plate, which in turn drives the lock rod linkage block and the lock rod to unlock. This effectively solves the problem of being unable to unlock due to electronic failure, improves the overall reliability and safety of the electronic faucet lock, and ensures that the vehicle can be unlocked and used smoothly in various situations.

[0026] Among them, the spring plate is arranged above the unlocking plate, and the unlocking plate is provided with a through hole 21 for the unlocking shaft to pass through. After the lock core key is inserted and pressed down, the unlocking step 1 on the unlocking shaft is connected to the unlocking step 2.

[0027] The unlocking principle of the mechanical unlocking mechanism of the electronic faucet lock:

[0028] When the electronic faucet lock is in normal working condition and the electronic drive mechanism can effectively control locking and unlocking, the return spring is sleeved on the unlocking shaft to keep it in the initial position, and the unlocking step 1 at the bottom of the unlocking shaft and the unlocking step 2 on the unlocking plate are in a separated state.

[0029] If the electronic system malfunctions and mechanical unlocking is required, the user inserts the lock cylinder key and depresses the lock cylinder, causing unlocking step 1 below the unlocking shaft to connect with unlocking step 2 on the unlocking plate. The unlocking shaft, which is connected to the lock cylinder, to rotate. As the unlocking shaft rotates, unlocking step 1 at its bottom moves relative to unlocking step 2 on the unlocking plate, which in turn moves the unlocking plate, which in turn moves the lock rod linkage block and the lock rod, causing the lock rod to move out of the locked position, thereby unlocking the handlebar lock and removing the restriction on handlebar steering.

[0030] Specifically, a spring step 12 is provided on the unlocking shaft, one end of the return spring is connected to the spring step, and the other end is connected to the spring plate.

[0031] In this embodiment, the connection design between the spring step on the unlocking shaft, the return spring, and the spring plate enables the return spring to effectively act on the unlocking shaft. Under normal conditions, the return spring, with the aid of the spring step, maintains the first unlocking step of the unlocking shaft away from the second unlocking step, separating them and preventing accidental unlocking. After the unlocking operation is completed, the return spring guides the unlocking shaft back to its initial relative position. This allows the mechanical unlocking mechanism to quickly and accurately return to its initial locked, ready state after the electronic system returns to normal operation. This improves the ease and stability of the mechanical unlocking mechanism's operation and also helps extend the service life of components such as the unlocking shaft.

[0032] Specifically, the housing includes an upper cover 13 , a middle shell 14 and a bottom cover 15 . A fixing step 16 is provided on the upper cover, and a fixing hole 17 corresponding to the fixing step 16 is provided on the spring plate.

[0033] In this embodiment, the housing utilizes a top cover 13, a middle shell 14, and a bottom cover 15. A mounting step is provided on the top cover to mate with the spring plate's mounting hole, allowing the spring plate to be securely fastened to the housing. This mounting arrangement ensures the spring plate remains in a stable position during operation of the mechanical unlocking mechanism, providing a reliable support base for the return spring and thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire mechanical unlocking mechanism.

[0034] Specifically, a trigger boss 18 is provided on the unlocking plate.

[0035] In this embodiment, the trigger boss 18 on the unlocking plate provides additional operational convenience or functional expansion for the mechanical unlocking mechanism. For example, the trigger boss can be coupled with an external detection device or warning device. When the unlocking plate moves to unlock, the trigger boss can trigger a corresponding detection signal, notifying the electronic control system that mechanical unlocking is in progress or has been completed, allowing the electronic system to record the information or take further safety measures.

[0036] Specifically, a connecting plate 19 is provided on the top of the unlocking plate, and the connecting plate 19 is inserted into and connected to the slot 20 of the locking rod linkage block.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connection between the connecting plate at the top of the unlocking plate and the slot in the locking rod linkage block ensures stable and efficient force transmission between the unlocking plate and the locking rod linkage block. This connection ensures that the movement of the unlocking plate is accurately converted into linear motion of the locking rod linkage block, reducing energy loss and deviation during movement, thereby ensuring that the locking rod can unlock or lock quickly and accurately. It has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0038] Technical personnel please note: Although the utility model has been described according to the above specific implementation methods, the concept of the utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification using the concept of the utility model will be included in the scope of protection of this patent right.
