Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of smart toolbox technology, specifically to a lock and a smart briefcase. Background Technology
[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of this disclosure and is not necessarily an admission or implication in any way that such information constitutes related technology that is already known to those skilled in the art.
[0003] In related technologies, a common problem with smart suitcases is that when the internal battery is dead and it is difficult to charge it externally in a timely manner, the suitcase cannot be opened unless it is forcibly broken open. However, this may damage the items inside the suitcase. Therefore, being able to open the suitcase without damage when there is no power is one of the pain points of smart suitcases.
[0004] In addition, smart briefcases store important documents. After enterprises have gone through informatization and digitalization, they have entered a period of vigorous development of digital intelligence. Enterprises and institutions have paid significantly more attention to network security and information security, and have put forward higher requirements for the security of smart briefcases. Ordinary mechanical locks are too insecure to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, this disclosure provides an intelligent suitcase lock unit to solve the problem in related technologies where the inability to open the suitcase when there is no power supply may lead to the loss of access to critical documents and potential document corruption.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this disclosure provide the following technical solutions:
[0007] A smart suitcase lock unit, characterized in that it includes:
[0008] The lock unit includes an electromagnetic lock, a bolt on the electromagnetic lock, a pull rope on the bolt, a locking rod fixing member, a locking link, and a push rod motor connected to the locking link. The lock unit includes an electromagnetic lock (3), a bolt on the electromagnetic lock (4), a pull rope on the bolt (7), a locking rod fixing member (5), a locking link (6), and a push rod motor (2) connected to the locking link (6). The push rod motor (2) can make the bolt (4) be in the unlocked position and the locked position through the locking link (6). The input end of the push rod motor (2) extends away from the bolt (4).
[0009] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a smart suitcase lock unit is provided. Users can unlock the suitcase normally using biometric identification or by entering a password. When the internal battery of the smart suitcase is depleted and external charging is difficult, an operator can unlock it by pulling a cord. Users and operators can share the lock unit using different unlocking methods. The lock unit has a simple structure, avoiding the use of additional mechanical locks, which not only improves the security of the smart suitcase but also reduces costs. Since mechanical locks typically have their keyholes on the surface of the smart suitcase, removing the mechanical lock results in a cleaner appearance and improved overall aesthetics.

[0016] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0017] The terms “upper,” “lower,” “left,” “right,” and “middle” used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, shall also be considered within the scope of this disclosure.
[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the lock unit includes an electromagnetic lock 3, a bolt 4 on the electromagnetic lock, a pull rope 7 on the bolt, a locking rod fixing member 5, a locking link 6, and a push rod motor 2 connected to the locking link 6. The push rod motor 2 can make the bolt 4 be in the unlocked position and the locked position through the locking link 6. The input end of the push rod motor 2 extends away from the bolt 4.
[0019] When the user opens the case normally, they can unlock the lock unit by biometric identification or by entering a password. When the internal battery of the smart suitcase is dead and it is difficult to charge it externally in time, the operator can unlock it by pulling the pull cord 7. The user and the operator can share the lock unit by using different unlocking methods. The lock unit has a simple structure, avoiding the use of an additional mechanical lock, which not only improves the security of the smart suitcase but also reduces costs. The keyhole of a typical mechanical lock is located on the surface of the smart suitcase. Removing the mechanical lock makes the smart suitcase look simple and improves its overall aesthetics.
[0020] like Figure 2-3As shown, this is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the lock unit. The lock unit also includes a lock body fixing plate 1, which is fixed inside the smart handbag. The electromagnetic lock 3 is fixed on one side of the lock body fixing plate 1, and the push rod motor 2 is fixed on the other side of the lock body fixing plate 1. One end of the locking rod 6 is fixed to the push rod motor 2 through the locking rod fixing shaft 9, and the other end of the locking rod 6 is fixed to the locking rod fixing member 5 through the locking rod guide shaft 8. By setting the lock body fixing plate 1, both the electromagnetic lock 3 and the push rod motor 2 are set on the lock body fixing plate 1. The lock body fixing plate 1 forms an integral structure with the electromagnetic lock 3, the push rod motor 2, the locking rod 6, the locking rod guide shaft 8, the locking rod fixing member 5, and the locking rod fixing shaft 9 for easy use. The lock body fixing plate 1 is fixed inside the smart handbag through the through hole 11 for easy connection with the lock hook inside the smart handbag. In this embodiment, one end of the pull rope 7 is fixed to the guide shaft 8 of the locking rod, and the other end of the pull rope 7 extends to the outside of the smart suitcase to facilitate the application of traction force.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, initially, the latch 4 on the electromagnetic lock is in the locked position. During normal use, the push rod motor 2 retracts backward, pulling the locking link 6 and the lock fixing member 5 connected to it through the locking link guide shaft 8, causing the latch 4 on the electromagnetic lock to move away from the locked position and reach the unlocked position; the push rod motor 2 moves forward to return to the initial position, causing the locking link 6 to release the pulling force on the lock fixing member 5, and the latch 4 on the electromagnetic lock returns to the initial locked position.
[0022] In an emergency, pulling the cord 7 that extends to the outside of the smart suitcase causes the lock fixing part 5 to move backward along the guide groove on the lock linkage 6 via the lock linkage guide shaft 8. The lock tongue 4 on the electromagnetic lock moves away from the locking position and reaches the unlocking position, thus enabling emergency unlocking without damaging the suitcase.
[0023] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0024] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present disclosure.
