Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of secondary equipment auxiliary control equipment, and more specifically, to a remote control interlocking controller. Background Technology

[0002] Secondary equipment auxiliary control equipment is a type of secondary equipment used in power systems (such as remote control interlocking relays), mainly responsible for monitoring and controlling primary equipment (such as transformers, circuit breakers, etc.). These devices are usually not directly related to power transmission and transformation, but rather provide functions such as protection, measurement, automatic control, and signal processing.

[0003] The remote-controlled interlocking controller has a key interface with internal metal electrodes. These electrodes work with a computer key to enable communication and electrical transmission. The key interface is typically open, posing a risk of electric shock if the operator inserts their fingers into it when the computer key is not inserted. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a remote locking controller that can reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator when the operator inserts their finger into the key interface.

[0005] This application provides a remote locking controller including a key interface device, wherein the key interface device includes a mounting base, a metal electrode, and a wireless chip. The mounting base has a keyhole for inserting a computer key; at least a portion of the metal electrode is disposed within the keyhole; the wireless chip is movably disposed within the keyhole along the axial direction of the keyhole, the wireless chip having a first through hole, and having a first position and a second position during its travel; in the first position, the wireless chip covers one end of the keyhole; during the insertion of the computer key into the keyhole, the computer key passes through the first through hole and pushes the wireless chip from the first position to the second position, in the second position, the metal electrode can connect with the computer key.

[0006] In the above technical solution, on the one hand, in the first position, the wireless chip covers one end of the keyhole, which is the insertion end of the computer key. When the computer key is not inserted into the key interface device, the wireless chip can be moved to the first position to cover one end of the keyhole, thereby preventing the operator from inserting their fingers into the keyhole through that end, thus reducing the risk of electric shock to the operator due to contact between the fingers and the metal electrodes in the keyhole. On the other hand, since each key interface device needs to be equipped with a wireless chip for storing codes and information, using a wireless chip to cover one end of the keyhole eliminates the need for additional structural components, thereby reducing the number of parts in the key interface device, facilitating the processing and production of the key interface device, and reducing the production cost of the key interface device and the remote locking controller with the key interface device. Furthermore, during the process of inserting the computer key into the keyhole, the computer key passes through the first through hole and pushes the wireless chip from the first position to the second position. Thus, when the computer key is inserted into the keyhole to realize communication interaction and electrical transmission functions, the wireless chip can move with the computer key, thereby not affecting the normal use of the key interface device.

[0007] In some embodiments, the wireless chip has a first latch, and the keyhole has a latch hole in its wall; in the first position, the first latch engages with the latch hole to restrict the wireless chip from moving in a direction away from the second position.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the first buckle and the buckle hole cooperate in the first position to restrict the movement of the wireless chip away from the second position. On the one hand, it can limit the wireless chip from moving further away from the second position when it is in the first position, thus preventing the risk of the wireless chip detaching from the keyhole and causing the cover to fail. On the other hand, the wireless chip is detachably installed in the keyhole of the mounting base by the first buckle, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the wireless chip during the production and maintenance of the keyhole device.

[0009] In some embodiments, there are multiple first buckles, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the wireless chip; there are multiple buckle holes, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the keyhole; and each first buckle corresponds to a buckle hole.

[0010] In the above technical solution, multiple first buckles are spaced apart circumferentially along the wireless chip, and multiple buckle holes are spaced apart circumferentially along the keyhole. The first buckles and buckle holes correspond one-to-one. Thus, when the wireless chip is in the first position and is subjected to external force and has a tendency to move further away from the second position, the multiple first buckles can cooperate with the multiple buckle holes to uniformly provide a restraining force to the wireless chip, thereby reducing the risk of the wireless chip detaching from the keyhole and causing the cover to fail.

[0011] In some embodiments, the key interface device further includes an elastic element disposed within the keyhole, the elastic element being used to provide an elastic force to the wireless chip to drive the wireless chip to move toward the first position.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the elastic element provides elastic force to the wireless chip to drive it to move to the first position. On the one hand, when the computer key is not inserted into the key interface device, the elastic element can move the wireless chip to the first position to cover one end of the keyhole, thereby restricting the operator from inserting their finger into the keyhole through that end, thus reducing the risk of electric shock to the operator due to contact between the finger and the metal electrode in the keyhole. On the other hand, when the wireless chip is accidentally touched and moves to the second position, after the external force of the accidental touch disappears, the elastic element can move the wireless chip back to the first position to reset, thereby reducing the risk of wireless chip cover failure due to accidental touch.

[0013] In some embodiments, the latching hole is a strip-shaped hole extending axially along the keyhole, and the first latch moves along the latching hole during the travel of the wireless chip from the first position to the second position.

[0014] In the above technical solution, during the journey of the wireless chip from the first position to the second position, the first latch moves along the latch hole, so that the first latch can cooperate with the latch hole to guide the wireless chip from the first position to the second position. This makes the switching process of the wireless chip between the first position and the second position more stable and reduces the risk of jamming when the wireless chip switches between the first position and the second position due to the rotation of the wireless chip.

[0015] In some embodiments, during the process of the computer key being pulled out of the keyhole, the computer key moves the wireless chip from the second position to the first position.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the computer key can drive the wireless chip from the second position to the first position. After the computer key is inserted into the keyhole to realize communication interaction and electrical transmission functions, during the process of pulling out the keyhole, the computer key can drive the wireless chip to move to the first position. Thus, when the computer key is pulled out from the key interface device, the wireless chip is located in the first position. Furthermore, when the computer key is not inserted into the key interface device, the wireless chip can cover one end of the keyhole, thereby preventing the operator from inserting their finger into the keyhole through that end, and thus reducing the risk of electric shock to the operator due to contact between the finger and the metal electrode in the keyhole.

[0017] In some embodiments, the wireless chip has a second latch that protrudes radially from the wall of the first through hole; during the process of the computer key being pulled out of the keyhole, the computer key abuts against the second latch to move the wireless chip from the second position to the first position.

[0018] In the above technical solution, by setting a second latch and making the second latch protrude radially from the wall of the first through hole, the computer key abuts against the second latch during the process of pulling the computer key out of the keyhole, thereby driving the wireless chip to move from the second position to the first position. The structure is simple and easy to implement. At the same time, the design of the second latch makes it easy for the computer key to disengage from the second latch after it moves the wireless chip to the first position, thereby making it easy for the computer key to be pulled out of the first through hole.

[0019] In some embodiments, there are multiple second buckles, and the multiple second buckles are arranged at circumferential intervals along the first through hole.

[0020] In the above technical solution, multiple second latches are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first through hole, so that when the computer key is pulled out of the keyhole, multiple second latches can simultaneously abut against the computer key, thereby driving the wireless chip to move towards the first position more evenly.

[0021] In some embodiments, a first groove is provided on the wall of the keyhole, the first groove extends along the axial direction of the keyhole, and one end of the first groove is connected to the latch hole; during the journey of the wireless chip from the first position to the second position, the first latch moves along the first groove.

[0022] In the above technical solution, during the journey of the wireless chip from the first position to the second position, the first latch moves along the first groove, so that the first latch can cooperate with the first groove to guide the wireless chip from the first position to the second position. This makes the switching process of the wireless chip between the first position and the second position more stable and reduces the risk of jamming when the wireless chip switches between the first position and the second position due to the rotation of the wireless chip.

[0023] In some embodiments, a mounting groove is formed on the wall of the keyhole, and the metal electrode is disposed in the mounting groove.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the metal electrode is set in the mounting groove, which facilitates the positioning of the metal electrode during assembly, thereby facilitating the assembly of the key interface device and the remote locking controller with the key interface device; on the other hand, it eliminates the need for a clearance structure on the wireless chip to avoid the metal electrode, simplifying the manufacturing of the wireless chip and reducing the production cost of the key interface device and the remote locking controller with the key interface device.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used in the description of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the description, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the description, claims, or accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order or hierarchy.

[0048] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0049] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0050] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this application.

[0052] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0053] Secondary equipment auxiliary control devices are a type of secondary equipment used in power systems (such as remote-controlled interlocking relays), primarily responsible for monitoring and controlling primary equipment (such as transformers and circuit breakers). These devices are typically not directly related to power transmission and transformation, but rather provide functions such as protection, measurement, automatic control, and signal processing. Remote-controlled interlocking controllers have a key interface with internal metal electrodes that can interact with a computer key to achieve communication and electrical transmission. The key interface is generally open to facilitate the insertion of the computer key; however, because the key interface is compatible with the computer key, the opening is relatively large, posing a risk of electric shock if the operator inserts their fingers into the key interface.

[0054] Based on the above considerations, in order to reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator due to inserting their fingers into the key interface, this application provides a remote locking controller including a key interface device, wherein the key interface device includes a mounting base, a metal electrode, and a wireless chip. The mounting base has a keyhole for inserting a computer key; at least a portion of the metal electrode is disposed within the keyhole; the wireless chip is movably disposed within the keyhole along the axial direction of the keyhole, and the wireless chip has a first through hole, and has a first position and a second position during its travel; in the first position, the wireless chip covers one end of the keyhole; during the insertion of the computer key into the keyhole, the computer key passes through the first through hole and pushes the wireless chip from the first position to the second position, in which the metal electrode can connect with the computer key.

[0055] In this key interface device with this structure, firstly, in the first position, the wireless chip covers one end of the keyhole, which is the insertion end of the computer key. When the computer key is not inserted into the key interface device, the wireless chip can be moved to the first position to cover one end of the keyhole, thereby preventing the operator from inserting their fingers into the keyhole through that end, thus reducing the risk of electric shock due to contact between the fingers and the metal electrodes in the keyhole. Secondly, since each key interface device needs to be equipped with a wireless chip for storing codes and information, using the wireless chip to cover one end of the keyhole eliminates the need for additional structural components, thereby reducing the number of parts in the key interface device, facilitating its manufacturing, and lowering the production cost of the key interface device and the remote locking controller with it. Thirdly, during the process of inserting the computer key into the keyhole, the computer key passes through the first through hole and pushes the wireless chip from the first position to the second position. Thus, when the computer key is inserted into the keyhole to achieve communication interaction and electrical transmission functions, the wireless chip can move with the computer key, thereby not affecting the normal use of the key interface device.

[0056] The key interface device is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 Please refer to Figures 2-4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a remote control interlocking controller 1000 provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides schematic diagrams of the key interface device 100 in some embodiments when the wireless chip 30 is in the first and second positions. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a key interface device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application when the wireless chip 30 is in a first position. Embodiments of this application provide a remote control locking controller 1000 including a key interface device 100, wherein the key interface device 100 includes a mounting base 10, a metal electrode 20, and a wireless chip 30. The mounting base 10 has a keyhole 11 for inserting a computer key 200; at least a portion of the metal electrode 20 is disposed within the keyhole 11; the wireless chip 30 is movably disposed within the keyhole 11 along the axial direction of the keyhole 11, and the wireless chip 30 has a first through hole 301. The wireless chip 30 has a first position and a second position during its travel; in the first position, the wireless chip 30 covers one end of the keyhole 11; during the insertion of the computer key 200 into the keyhole 11, the computer key 200 passes through the first through hole 301 and pushes the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, in which the metal electrode 20 can connect with the computer key 200.

[0058] Mounting base 10 is a structural component in key interface device 100 used to connect to a structural component of remote lock controller 1000. For example, mounting base 10 can be connected to a structural component on a relay for electrical transmission or communication with computer key 200, so that metal electrode 20 can be electrically connected to the relay.

[0059] Understandably, the computer key 200 is inserted into the key socket 11 of the mounting base 10 so that the key interface device 100 and the computer key 200 cooperate to realize the functions of communication interaction and electrical transmission.

[0060] The metal electrode 20 is a metal component in the key interface device 100 used for electrical connection with the remote control interlocking controller 1000. For example, the metal electrode 20 can be integrally formed with the mounting base 10 by hot pressing; or, the metal electrode 20 can be integrally formed with the mounting base 10 by insert injection molding; or, the metal electrode 20 can be attached to the mounting base 10 by adhesive bonding.

[0061] "At least a portion of the metal electrode 20 is disposed within the keyhole 11" can be understood as part or all of the metal electrode 20 being located within the keyhole 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-4 The metal electrode 20 includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a tail. The inner wall of the metal electrode 20 is electrically connected to the computer key 200 for power supply or communication. The outer wall of the metal electrode 20 has an electrode fixing portion that is fixed to the keyhole 11. This electrode fixing portion can be a portion independently disposed on the outer wall of the metal electrode 20, or it can be the outer wall of the metal electrode 20 itself. The tail of the metal electrode 20 has an electrode interface 21 hole, which can optionally be a threaded hole.

[0063] For example, a mounting groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the keyhole 11, and the metal electrode 20 is disposed in the metal electrode 20 mounting groove 14.

[0064] In some implementations, please refer to Figures 2-4 There are two metal electrodes 20 and two mounting slots 14, which are respectively arranged in the keyhole 11. The two metal electrodes 20 are fixed in the two metal electrode 20 mounting slots 14. The tail of each metal electrode 20 is provided with an electrode interface 21 hole. The two metal electrodes 20 are electrically connected to the structural components of the relay through their respective electrode interface 21 holes.

[0065] The wireless chip 30 is a structural component in the key interface device 100 used to store codes and information. Understandably, the storage structure of the wireless chip 30 is covered with an insulating structure to reduce the risk of short circuit between the storage structure inside the wireless chip 30 and the metal electrode 20.

[0066] In some embodiments, a circumferential limiting structure is provided on the outer periphery of the wireless chip 30, and a circumferential limiting engagement structure is provided in the keyhole 11 to cooperate with the circumferential limiting structure. The circumferential limiting structure and the circumferential limiting engagement structure cooperate with each other to restrict the circumferential movement of the wireless chip 30 relative to the mounting base 10 in the keyhole 11 when the wireless chip 30 is mounted on the mounting base 10 or when the wireless chip 30 moves relative to the mounting base 10 between a first position and a second position.

[0067] For example, the circumferential limiting structure is a protrusion, and the circumferential limiting mating structure is a guide groove adapted to the protrusion.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The keyhole 11 has a first segment 111 and a second segment 112. The first segment 111 and the second segment 112 are arranged sequentially and connected to each other along the direction of key insertion. The inner diameter of the first segment 111 is larger than the inner diameter of the second segment 112 to form a stepped surface 1121 in the keyhole 11. The stepped surface 1121 is recessed to form a receiving groove 1122. When the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, the wireless chip 30 covers the end of the first segment 111 away from the second segment 112. When the wireless chip 30 is in the second position, the wireless chip 30 is located in the receiving groove 1122.

[0069] In some embodiments, an infrared tube or an LED is provided in the receiving groove 1122 within the keyhole 11. Please refer to... Figure 2 The wireless chip 30 has a second through hole 302 corresponding to the infrared tube or LED. When the wireless chip 30 is in the second position, the infrared tube or LED is located in the second through hole 302 and is used for infrared communication or status indication.

[0070] The wireless chip 30 can be slidably installed in the keyhole 11 by any means such as a slide rail or slide groove.

[0071] "During the process of inserting the computer key 200 into the keyhole 11, the computer key 200 passes through the first through hole 301 and pushes the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position." This means that during the process of inserting the computer key 200 into the keyhole 11, the portion of the computer key 200 with a radial dimension smaller than that of the first through hole 301 passes through the first through hole 301, while the portion of the computer key 200 with a radial dimension larger than that of the first through hole 301 abuts against the wireless chip 30 along the axis P of the keyhole, thereby driving the wireless chip 30 to move along the axis P of the keyhole to the second position.

[0072] "In the second position, the metal electrode 20 can be connected to the computer key 200" so as to electrically connect the relay and the computer key 200 through the metal electrode 20, thereby realizing the communication interaction and electrical transmission functions of the computer key 200.

[0073] In this embodiment, on the one hand, in the first position, the wireless chip 30 covers one end of the keyhole 11, so that when the computer key 200 is inserted at that end and the computer key 200 is not inserted into the key interface device 100, the wireless chip 30 can be moved to the first position to cover one end of the keyhole 11, thereby restricting the operator from inserting their finger into the keyhole 11 through that end, thus reducing the risk of electric shock to the operator due to contact between the finger and the metal electrode 20 in the keyhole 11; on the other hand, since each key interface device 100 needs to be equipped with a wireless chip 30 for storing codes and information, covering one end of the keyhole 11 with the wireless chip 30 can... No additional structural components are required, thus reducing the number of parts in the key interface device 100, facilitating its manufacturing, and lowering the production costs of the key interface device 100 and the remote locking controller 1000 with the key interface device 100. Furthermore, during the insertion of the computer key 200 into the keyhole 11, the computer key 200 passes through the first through hole 301 and pushes the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position. Thus, when the computer key 200 is inserted into the keyhole 11 to achieve communication interaction and electrical transmission functions, the wireless chip 30 can move with the computer key 200, thereby not affecting the normal use of the key interface device 100.

[0074] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view at point A. The wireless chip 30 has a first latch 31, and the keyhole 11 has a latch hole 12 on its wall; in the first position, the first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12 to restrict the wireless chip 30 from moving away from the second position.

[0075] Understandably, the snap hole 12 can be a through hole provided in the inner wall of the keyhole 11, or it can be a blind hole provided in the keyhole 11.

[0076] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The wireless chip 30 includes a body 315, a connecting strip 314, and a first protrusion 313. The connecting strip 314 is connected to the end face of the body 315 located inside the keyhole 11 and extends along the axial direction of the keyhole 11. The first protrusion 313 protrudes from the outer periphery of the connecting strip 314 to form a first latch 31 together with the connecting strip 314. The inner wall of the keyhole 11 is recessed to form a latching hole 12 that mates with the first latch 31. When the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, the first latch 31 is engaged with the latching hole 12.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 313 has a first guide surface 311 on the side opposite to the body 315. The first guide surface 311 is used to abut against the inner wall of the keyhole 11 when the wireless chip 30 is assembled in the keyhole 11 to guide the first latch 31 to elastically deform in a direction close to the axis P of the keyhole, so as to facilitate the assembly of the wireless chip 30.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first protrusion 313 has a stop surface 312 on the side near the body 315. The stop surface 312 is perpendicular to the axis P of the keyhole and is used to abut against the inner wall of the latch hole 12 when the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, so as to limit the first latch 31 from continuing to move away from the second position relative to the latch hole 12 along the axis P of the keyhole, so as to limit the wireless chip 30 from disengaging from the keyhole 11.

[0079] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the snap hole 12 that abuts against the stop surface 312 is parallel to the stop surface 312. This allows the stop surface 312 to abut against the inner wall of the snap hole 12 more smoothly.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12 at the first position to restrict the movement of the wireless chip 30 away from the second position. On the one hand, this can limit the further movement of the wireless chip 30 away from the second position when it is in the first position, thus preventing the risk of the wireless chip 30 dislodging from the keyhole 11 and causing the cover to fail. On the other hand, the first latch 31 allows the wireless chip 30 to be detachably installed in the keyhole 11 of the mounting base 10, thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the wireless chip 30 during the production and maintenance of the keyhole device.

[0081] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 There are multiple first buckles 31, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the wireless chip 30; there are multiple buckle holes 12, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the keyhole 11; each first buckle 31 corresponds to a buckle hole 12.

[0082] In some embodiments, there are two first buckles 31, which are symmetrically arranged on the wireless chip 30. There are two buckle holes 12, which are arranged opposite to each other in the keyhole 11. When the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, the two first buckles 31 are respectively engaged with the two buckle holes 12.

[0083] In some embodiments, there are two snap-fit ​​holes 12 and two mounting slots 14. The snap-fit ​​holes 12 and mounting slots 14 are arranged alternately and at intervals, wherein the two snap-fit ​​holes 12 are symmetrical to each other.

[0084] In this embodiment, multiple first latches 31 are spaced apart circumferentially along the wireless chip 30, and multiple latch holes 12 are spaced apart circumferentially along the keyhole 11. The first latches 31 and latch holes 12 correspond one-to-one. Thus, when the wireless chip 30 is in the first position and is subjected to external force with a tendency to move further away from the second position, the multiple first latches 31 can cooperate with the multiple latch holes 12 to uniformly provide a restraining force to the wireless chip 30, thereby reducing the risk of the wireless chip 30 detaching from the keyhole 11 and causing the cover to fail.

[0085] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The key interface device 100 also includes an elastic element 40; the elastic element 40 is disposed in the key socket 11 and is used to provide elastic force to the wireless chip 30 to drive the wireless chip 30 to move to the first position.

[0086] The elastic element 40 is a structural member used to provide an elastic force to the wireless chip 30 to move the wireless chip 30 to a first position. Exemplarily, the elastic element 40 can be a rubber block, an elastic diaphragm, or a spring.

[0087] In some embodiments, the elastic element 40 can be a spring, with its two ends abutting against the wireless chip 30 and the mounting base 10, respectively. Specifically, when the wireless chip 30 is driven by the computer key 200 to move to the second position, the elastic element 40 is compressed; after the computer key 200 is pulled out of the keyhole 11, the elastic element 40 elastically recovers and provides an elastic force to the wireless chip 30 to drive the wireless chip 30 to move to the second position.

[0088] In some embodiments, one end of the wireless chip 30 is provided with a protrusion, the first through hole 301 is provided on the protrusion, the elastic member 40 is a spring, one end of the elastic member 40 is sleeved outside the protrusion, and one end of the elastic member 40 is provided in the receiving groove 1122.

[0089] In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 provides elastic force to the wireless chip 30 to drive the wireless chip 30 to move to the first position. On the one hand, when the computer key 200 is not inserted into the key interface device 100, the elastic element 40 can drive the wireless chip 30 to the first position to cover one end of the keyhole 11, thereby restricting the operator from inserting their finger into the keyhole 11 through that end, thus reducing the risk of electric shock to the operator due to contact between the finger and the metal electrode 20 in the keyhole 11. On the other hand, when the wireless chip 30 is accidentally touched and moves to the second position, after the external force of the accidental touch disappears, the elastic element 40 can drive the wireless chip 30 to move back to the first position to reset, thereby reducing the risk of the wireless chip 30 failing to cover due to accidental touch.

[0090] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4The latch hole 12 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the axial direction of the keyhole 11. During the stroke of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, the first latch 31 moves along the latch hole 12.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first latch 31 abuts against the latch hole 12 on opposite sides of the keyhole 11 in the circumferential direction, so as to restrict the movement of the wireless chip 30 relative to the mounting base 10 in the circumferential direction of the keyhole 11 when the wireless chip 30 moves relative to the mounting base 10 between the first position and the second position.

[0092] In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 has a first side 15 in the axial direction of the keyhole 11 away from the first segment 111, and the snap hole 12 extends along the axial direction of the keyhole 11 to the first side 15 so that the first snap 31 passes through during the movement of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, so as to prevent the first snap 31 from interfering with the movement of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position.

[0093] In this embodiment, during the journey of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, the first latch 31 moves along the latch hole 12, so that the first latch 31 can cooperate with the latch hole 12 to guide the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position. This makes the switching process of the wireless chip 30 between the first position and the second position more stable and reduces the risk of jamming when the wireless chip 30 switches between the first position and the second position due to rotation.

[0094] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Cross-sectional views of another key interface device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application in two directions when the wireless chip 30 is in a first position; Figure 8 and Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of another key interface device 100 provided in some embodiments of this application when the wireless chip 30 is in the second position in two directions. During the process of the computer key 200 being pulled out of the keyhole 11, the computer key 200 drives the wireless chip 30 to move from the second position to the first position.

[0095] In some embodiments, the portion of the computer key 200 inserted into the first through hole 301 is in an interference fit with the first through hole 301, and the friction between the key and the first through hole 301 can drive the wireless chip 30 to move with the computer key 200. Specifically, during the process of inserting the computer key 200 into the first through hole 301, the first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12, causing the wireless chip 30 to be fixed relative to the keyhole 11, allowing the computer key 200 to move relative to the first through hole 301. Subsequently, the portion of the computer key 200 that cannot pass through the first through hole 301 abuts against the wireless chip 30, causing the first latch 31 to disengage from the latch hole 12, thereby driving the wireless chip 30 to move towards the second position. During the process of pulling the computer key 200 out of the keyhole 11, the friction between the computer key 200 and the first through hole 301 causes the wireless chip 30 to move along the axis of the keyhole 11 towards the first position. When the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, the first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12 to restrict the wireless chip 30 from moving further away from the second position, thereby allowing the computer key 200 to slide relative to the first through hole 301, and thus allowing the computer key 200 to disengage from the first through hole 301.

[0096] In some embodiments, the computer key 200 is provided with an elastic deformable member that protrudes from the outer periphery of the computer key 200. Specifically, during the insertion of the computer key 200 into the first through hole 301, the first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12, causing the wireless chip 30 to be fixed relative to the keyhole 11. This causes the elastic deformable member on the computer key 200 to elastically deform, allowing the computer key 200 to move relative to the first through hole 301. Subsequently, the portion of the computer key 200 that cannot pass through the first through hole 301 abuts against the wireless chip 30, thereby causing the first latch 31 to disengage. The first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12 to move the wireless chip 30 to the second position. During the process of the computer key 200 being pulled out of the keyhole 11, the contact force between the elastic deformable member and the wireless chip 30 causes the wireless chip 30 to move along the axis of the keyhole 11 towards the first position. When the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, the first latch 31 cooperates with the latch hole 12 to restrict the wireless chip 30 from continuing to move away from the second position, thereby causing the elastic deformable member to elastically deform, so that the computer key 200 can slide relative to the first through hole 301, thereby allowing the computer key 200 to disengage from the first through hole 301.

[0097] In this embodiment, the computer key 200 can move the wireless chip 30 from the second position to the first position. After the computer key 200 is inserted into the keyhole 11 to realize communication interaction and electrical transmission functions, during the process of pulling out the keyhole 11, the computer key 200 can drive the wireless chip 30 to move to the first position. Thus, when the computer key 200 is pulled out from the key interface device 100, the wireless chip 30 is located in the first position. Furthermore, when the computer key 200 is not inserted into the key interface device 100, the wireless chip 30 can cover one end of the keyhole 11, thereby preventing the operator from inserting their finger into the keyhole 11 through that end, and thus reducing the risk of electric shock to the operator due to contact between the finger and the metal electrode 20 in the keyhole 11.

[0098] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 6-9 Please refer to Figures 10-12 , Figure 10 for Figure 6 Enlarged view at point B in the middle. Figure 11 for Figure 7 Enlarged view at point C in the middle. Figure 12 for Figure 8 Enlarged view at point D. The wireless chip 30 has a second latch 32, which protrudes radially from the wall of the first through hole 301; during the process of the computer key 200 being pulled out of the keyhole 11, the computer key 200 abuts against the second latch 32 to move the wireless chip 30 from the second position to the first position.

[0099] For example, the second latch 32 may be located inside the first through hole 301, or the second latch 32 may be located outside the first through hole 301.

[0100] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The computer key 200 has a second protrusion 210 protruding from the periphery of its main body. The second protrusion 210 is used to achieve communication and electrical transmission with the metal electrode 20. The second latch 32 protrudes from the inner wall of the first through hole 301 and is correspondingly set with the second protrusion 210. Specifically, when the computer key 200 is inserted into the first through hole 301, the second protrusion 210 abuts against the second latch 32. Please refer to... Figure 11 Because the first latch 31 engages with the latch hole 12, the wireless chip 30 is fixed relative to the keyhole 11. This causes the second latch 32 to elastically deform the wall of the first through hole 301, allowing the computer key 200 to move relative to the first through hole 301. Subsequently, the portion of the computer key 200 that cannot pass through the first through hole 301 abuts against the wireless chip 30, causing the first latch 31 to disengage from the latch hole 12, thereby moving the wireless chip 30 to the second position. During the process of the computer key 200 being pulled out of the keyhole 11, please refer to... Figure 12 The second protrusion 210 of the computer key 200 abuts against the second latch 32, causing the wireless chip 30 to move along the axis of the keyhole 11 toward the first position. When the wireless chip 30 is in the first position, the first latch 31 cooperates with the latch hole 12 to restrict the wireless chip 30 from moving further away from the second position. This causes the second latch 32 to cause the wall of the first through hole 301, which is provided with the second latch 32, to elastically deform, thereby allowing the computer key 200 to slide relative to the first through hole 301, and thus allowing the computer key 200 to disengage from the first through hole 301.

[0101] In some embodiments, the second latch 32 has a second guide surface 321 and a third guide surface 322 disposed opposite to each other in the axial direction of the keyhole 11. The second guide surface 321 is used to guide the second latch 32 to elastically deform the wall of the first through hole 301 on which the second latch 32 is disposed when the wireless chip 30 is in the first position and the computer key 200 is inserted into the keyhole 11. The third guide surface 322 is used to guide the second latch 32 to elastically deform the wall of the first through hole 301 on which the second latch 32 is disposed when the wireless chip 30 is in the first position and the computer key 200 is pulled out of the keyhole 11.

[0102] Understandably, the second guide surface 321 and the third guide surface 322 can be curved surfaces, or the second guide surface 321 and the third guide surface 322 can be planar surfaces.

[0103] In this embodiment, by setting a second latch 32 and making the second latch 32 protrude radially from the wall of the first through hole 301, the computer key 200 abuts against the second latch 32 during the process of pulling the computer key 200 out of the keyhole 11, thereby driving the wireless chip 30 to move from the second position to the first position. The structure is simple and easy to implement. At the same time, the design of the second latch 32 makes it easy for the computer key 200 to disengage from the second latch 32 after it drives the wireless chip 30 to the first position, thereby making it easy for the computer key 200 to be pulled out of the first through hole 301.

[0104] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 There are multiple second buckles 32, and the multiple second buckles 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first through hole 301.

[0105] In some embodiments, there are two second buckles 32, which are symmetrically arranged on the wireless chip 30. There are also two second protrusions 210, which protrude from the periphery of the main body of the computer key 200 and are correspondingly arranged with the second buckles 32.

[0106] In this embodiment, multiple second latches 32 are arranged circumferentially along the first through hole 301, so that when the computer key 200 is pulled out of the keyhole 11, multiple second latches 32 can simultaneously abut against the computer key 200, thereby driving the wireless chip 30 to move towards the first position more evenly.

[0107] According to some embodiments of this application, a first groove 13 is provided on the wall of the keyhole 11. The first groove 13 extends along the axial direction of the keyhole 11, and one end of the first groove 13 is connected to the buckle hole 12. During the stroke of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, the first buckle 31 moves along the first groove 13.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first latch 31 abuts against the first groove 13 on opposite sides of the keyhole 11 in the circumferential direction on opposite sides of the keyhole 11, so as to restrict the movement of the wireless chip 30 relative to the mounting base 10 in the circumferential direction of the keyhole 11 when the wireless chip 30 moves relative to the mounting base 10 between the first position and the second position.

[0109] In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 has a first side 15 in the axial direction of the keyhole 11 that is away from the first segment 111 (not shown in the figure), and the snap hole 12 extends along the axial direction of the keyhole 11 to the first side 15 so that the first snap 31 passes through during the movement of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, so as to prevent the first snap 31 from interfering with the movement of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position.

[0110] Understandably, in the second position or during the movement from the second position to the first position, the stop surface 312 may abut against the second side, but the area of ​​the stop surface 312 abutting against the first side 15 should be smaller than the area of ​​the stop surface 312 abutting against the snap hole in the first position, so that the driving force that causes the stop surface 312 to disengage from the first side 15 is less than the driving force that causes the second snap 32 to cause the wall of the first through hole 301 to elastically deform and is less than the driving force that causes the stop surface 312 to disengage from the snap hole 12.

[0111] In this embodiment, during the journey of the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position, the first latch 31 moves along the first groove 13, thereby enabling the first latch 31 to engage with the first groove 13 to guide the wireless chip 30 from the first position to the second position. This makes the switching process of the wireless chip 30 between the first position and the second position more stable and reduces the risk of jamming when the wireless chip 30 switches between the first position and the second position due to rotation.

[0112] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3A mounting groove 14 is provided on the wall of the keyhole 11, and the metal electrode 20 is disposed in the mounting groove 14.

[0113] In this embodiment, the metal electrode 20 is disposed in the mounting groove 14. On the one hand, this facilitates the positioning of the metal electrode 20 during assembly, thereby facilitating the assembly of the key interface device 100 and the remote locking controller 1000 having the key interface device 100. On the other hand, this eliminates the need for a clearance structure on the wireless chip 30 to avoid the metal electrode 20, simplifying the manufacturing of the wireless chip 30 and reducing the production cost of the key interface device 100 and the remote locking controller 1000 having the key interface device 100.
