Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to locks, specifically to an electric lock cylinder mounting structure, a lock body, and a smart lock. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some locks use electric control for unlocking. This electric control method generally requires a motor and a reduction mechanism, which places extremely high demands on the stability of the motor installation. If the motor deviates (e.g., due to transportation vibrations or external forces), it will hinder the cooperation between the motor and the reduction mechanism. However, using a special motor mount to fix the motor will result in high costs. Therefore, how to improve the stability of motor installation at a low cost is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric lock cylinder installation structure, lock body and smart lock, which can improve the stability of motor installation at low cost and avoid the obstruction caused by motor misalignment to its cooperation with the reduction mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric lock cylinder mounting structure, including a mounting base, a housing mounted on the mounting base, a locking mechanism and a deceleration mechanism both mounted in the housing, and a motor mounted outside the housing. The output end of the motor extends into the housing and cooperates with the deceleration mechanism to form a transmission, thereby driving the locking mechanism to lock or unlock. The mounting base is provided with a groove or window corresponding to the position of the motor. At least a part of the motor is located in the groove or window for positioning, and one end of the motor corresponding to the output end is fixedly connected to the housing by screws. The housing is fixedly connected to the mounting base by screws.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the position of the mounting base corresponding to the motor is set as a window, and the position of the motor corresponding to the window is provided with a code mark, and the code mark is exposed through the window.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the coding identifier is an anti-counterfeiting identifier or a device code.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the position of the motor corresponding to the window is set as a plane, and the width of the plane is smaller than that of the window.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the position of the window corresponding to the motor protrudes from the plane where the surface of the housing and the mounting base are in contact.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the position of the motor corresponding to the window is adapted to the shape and size of the window, so as to position the housing when the motor and the window are in conjunction.

[0010] A lock body is also provided, including the electric lock cylinder mounting structure as described in any of the above.

[0011] A smart lock is also provided, including the electric lock cylinder mounting structure as described in any of the above.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a groove or window at the position of the motor on the mounting base, at least a part of the motor is positioned within the groove or window for positioning. At the same time, one end of the motor corresponding to the output end is fixed to the housing with screws, and the housing is then fixed to the mounting base with screws. Stable installation of the motor can be achieved without the need for a special motor mount, effectively reducing costs. In addition, the positioning effect of the groove or window on the motor can reduce the occurrence of motor misalignment, improve the transmission cooperation between the motor and the reduction mechanism, reduce the possibility of cooperation obstruction caused by motor misalignment, and thus improve the overall working reliability of the electric lock cylinder.

[0017] Reference numerals: 1. Mounting base; 2. Housing; 3. Motor; 4. Window. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an electric lock cylinder mounting structure, including a mounting base 1, a housing 2 mounted on the mounting base 1, a locking mechanism and a deceleration mechanism both mounted in the housing 2, and a motor 3 mounted outside the housing 2. The output end of the motor 3 extends into the housing 2 and cooperates with the deceleration mechanism to form a transmission, thereby driving the locking mechanism to lock or unlock. The mounting base 1 is provided with a groove or window 4 corresponding to the position of the motor 3. At least a part of the motor 3 is located in the groove or window 4 for positioning, and one end of the motor 3 corresponding to the output end is fixedly connected to the housing 2 by screws. The housing 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1 by screws.

[0020] During assembly, the locking mechanism and the deceleration mechanism are first installed in the housing 2 according to the preset positions, ensuring that the transmission input end of the deceleration mechanism is in a position that facilitates cooperation with the output end of the motor 3. Then, the motor 3 is placed on the outside of the housing 2, so that the output end of the motor 3 is aligned with the preset through hole on the housing 2 and extends into the housing 2 until the output end of the motor 3 and the deceleration mechanism form a transmission cooperation. At this time, one end of the motor 3 corresponding to the output end is fastened to the housing 2 with screws to initially fix the relative position of the motor 3 and the housing 2. Next, the housing 2, which has been assembled with the locking mechanism, the deceleration mechanism and the motor 3, is placed on the mounting base 1, so that at least part of the motor 3 is embedded in the groove or window 4 at the corresponding position of the mounting base 1. The groove or window 4 forms radial and circumferential limits on the motor 3 to achieve further positioning of the motor 3. Finally, the housing 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1 with screws to complete the assembly of the entire electric lock cylinder mounting structure. In this way, there is no need to set up a special motor 3 seat. The groove or window 4 of the mounting base 1 can be used to position the motor 3. With the screws used to fix the motor 3 to the housing 2 and the housing 2 to the mounting base 1, the stability of the motor 3 installation can be effectively improved, the probability of the motor 3 shifting during operation can be reduced, thereby improving the transmission cooperation between the motor 3 and the reduction mechanism, reducing the risk of failure caused by cooperation obstruction, and also effectively controlling the production and manufacturing costs.

[0021] In order to facilitate the identification and management of the coding information of motor 3, in one optional scheme, the position of the mounting base 1 corresponding to the position of motor 3 is set as window 4, and the position of motor 3 corresponding to window 4 is set with coding mark, and the coding mark is exposed through window 4.

[0022] During the assembly process of this solution, the position of the motor 3 on the mounting base 1 is replaced by a window 4 structure instead of a groove structure. A pre-set coding mark is placed on the outer surface of the window 4 corresponding to the motor 3. After the motor 3 is embedded in the window 4 and the motor 3 is fixed to the housing 2, and the housing 2 is fixed to the mounting base 1, the coding mark on the motor 3 can be directly exposed through the window 4 of the mounting base 1. This structural design allows the staff to directly observe the coding mark through the window 4 without disassembling the electric lock cylinder mounting structure. This facilitates the querying and recording of information such as the lock cylinder model, production batch, and associated equipment. It also facilitates subsequent maintenance and traceability work, improves the convenience of equipment management, and does not require additional complex structures, thus avoiding a significant increase in cost.

[0023] Further optimization can be achieved by using the following methods: the coding identifier can be an anti-counterfeiting identifier or a device code.

[0024] Based on the above-mentioned coding identification, the coding identification can be specifically set as an anti-counterfeiting identification or a device code. When the coding identification is an anti-counterfeiting identification, staff can quickly identify the authenticity of motor 3 through the anti-counterfeiting identification observed through window 4, reducing the use of counterfeit and inferior motors 3, thereby ensuring the overall quality and safety performance of the electric lock cylinder installation structure. When the coding identification is a device code, the device code can be associated with the production information of motor 3, the compatible lock model, and other data. Staff can quickly obtain the detailed parameters of motor 3 by reading the device code, which facilitates accurate matching and replacement of parts during maintenance, reduces the probability of maintenance errors, and further improves the efficiency of equipment management and maintenance. Moreover, both coding identification setting methods are simple and easy to implement and will not have an adverse impact on the installation and use of motor 3.

[0025] In some options, to make the cooperation between motor 3 and window 4 more stable and avoid interference, the position of motor 3 corresponding to window 4 is set as a plane, and the width of the plane is smaller than that of window 4.

[0026] In this structural design, the outer surface of the mounting base 1 corresponding to the window 4 of the motor 3 is machined into a planar structure, while the width of this planar surface is controlled to be smaller than the width of the window 4. During assembly, the planar portion of the motor 3 faces inward towards the window 4. This prevents the portion of the motor 3 located within the window 4 from protruding beyond it, and also allows installers to quickly locate the corresponding surface, providing a degree of error prevention during installation. Simultaneously, the design of the planar surface width being smaller than the window 4 width provides a certain assembly allowance for the motor 3, preventing machining errors from causing the motor 3 to fail to fit smoothly into the window 4 or to interfere with the inner wall of the window 4, ensuring a smooth assembly process. Furthermore, without affecting the positioning effect, it reduces the precision requirements for the machining of the motor 3 and the mounting base 1, indirectly controlling production costs and ensuring the stability of the transmission cooperation between the motor 3 and the reduction mechanism.

[0027] To further improve the positioning effect of motor 3 within window 4 and ensure more precise transmission between motor 3 and reduction mechanism, in a preferred embodiment, referring to... Figure 4 As shown, the position of the motor 3 corresponding to the window 4 protrudes from the plane where the surface of the housing 2 and the mounting base 1 are in contact.

[0028] In this preferred embodiment, the portion of the motor 3 corresponding to the window 4 of the mounting base 1 is configured as an outward protruding structure, and the height of this protruding portion is higher than the plane where the mating surfaces of the housing 2 and the mounting base 1 are located. During assembly, after the housing 2 and the mounting base 1 are fitted and fixed, the protruding portion of the motor 3 can be embedded more deeply into the window 4, resulting in a larger limiting range for the motor 3 by the window 4, reducing the axial and radial displacement space of the motor 3, thereby further improving the installation and positioning accuracy of the motor 3. The improved positioning accuracy of the motor 3 enables more precise transmission between the output end of the motor 3 and the reduction mechanism, reducing noise or malfunctions caused by misalignment.

[0029] In order to achieve a more reliable positioning and engagement between the motor 3 and the window 4, and thus provide auxiliary positioning for the housing 2, in another optional scheme, the position of the motor 3 corresponding to the window 4 is adapted to the shape and size of the window 4, so as to position the housing 2 when the motor 3 and the window 4 engage.

[0030] In this optional design, the part of motor 3 corresponding to window 4 of mounting base 1 is adapted to window 4 in both shape and size. For example, when window 4 is rectangular, the corresponding part of motor 3 is also designed as a matching rectangle, and the dimensional error between the two is controlled within the preset assembly tolerance range. During assembly, when motor 3 is embedded in window 4, because the corresponding part of motor 3 is adapted to the shape and size of window 4, the inner wall of window 4 can form an all-round limit on motor 3. This not only makes the positioning of motor 3 more reliable, but also indirectly plays an auxiliary positioning role on the position of housing 2 on mounting base 1 through the fixed connection between motor 3 and housing 2, reducing the possibility of housing 2 shifting. The stability of housing 2 positioning further ensures the relative position accuracy of the deceleration mechanism and locking mechanism inside housing 2, making the cooperation of all components of the entire electric lock cylinder mounting structure more coordinated and the operation more stable. At the same time, this adaptation design does not require additional positioning components, improving the positioning effect while taking into account cost control.

[0031] The above technical solution effectively improves the stability of motor 3 installation at low cost, enhances the overall performance and reliability of the electric lock cylinder installation structure, and ensures the stable operation of the lock body and smart lock. When using a smart lock, the mounting base 1 can be the sealing plate of the smart lock, i.e., the plate on the back of the operation panel used to fit against the door surface.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
