Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart lock battery installation technology, specifically a smart lock battery installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] As a core device in security and smart homes, the battery installation structure of smart locks directly affects their ease of use and security. Currently, most smart lock battery compartments are located on the inside of the lock body, secured by clips, screws, or sliding covers, and are powered by either dry cell batteries or lithium batteries. Some models use multi-cell battery combinations or dual-battery independent power supply designs to extend battery life. However, existing smart lock battery housing structures are complex to install and disassemble, and the fixing methods are often simplistic. Simply using clips or screws for fixing can easily lead to damage or screw loosening, causing the cover used to close the housing slot to detach and expose the battery to the outside environment. Over time, the battery is susceptible to corrosion and decay, which can damage the smart lock. Furthermore, traditional battery housings in smart locks have poor stability and are prone to shaking. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart lock battery installation structure to solve the problems of inconvenient installation of smart lock batteries and poor stability after the battery is fixed, as mentioned in the background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a smart lock battery mounting structure, comprising a housing, a sealing plate, and a power supply for installation indoors, wherein the housing and the sealing plate are connected, and a receiving groove for accommodating the power supply is formed between the housing and the sealing plate, the power supply is detachably connected to the receiving groove, the receiving groove has a groove cover, and a limiting component for preventing the groove cover from detaching from the receiving groove is provided between the groove cover and the side wall of the receiving groove, wherein the groove cover, housing, and sealing plate, when connected, can limit the power supply in the receiving groove.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting component includes a limiting wall disposed on the sealing plate for limiting the groove cover from dislodging from the receiving groove along the side wall of the sealing plate, the limiting wall abutting against the groove cover.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, there are two limiting walls, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the sealing plate.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting wall extends upward at an angle from the shell direction toward the sealing plate direction, and the side wall on the groove cover that abuts against the limiting wall is correspondingly provided with the limiting wall.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting component also includes a limiting rib and a limiting socket for limiting the power supply in the receiving groove. The limiting rib is provided on the corresponding two side walls of the power supply and abuts against the side wall in contact with it. The limiting socket is located at the bottom of the receiving groove and can be plugged into the power supply. The power supply is provided with a slot corresponding to the position of the limiting socket.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the side wall of the power supply corresponding to the sealing plate can abut against the sealing plate, and the side wall of the corresponding housing can abut against the housing.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the groove cover, the shell, and the sealing plate are fixed together by bolts.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a smart lock battery installation structure with the following advantages: This structure uses an indoor shell and a sealing plate to enclose the receiving groove, and with the detachable design of the power supply, the power supply can be quickly installed and removed without tools, solving the problem of cumbersome replacement in existing structures and significantly improving maintenance convenience; the limiting components of the groove cover and the side wall of the receiving groove can effectively prevent the groove cover from falling off, and the combined limiting of the power supply by the groove cover, shell, and sealing plate prevents the power supply from loosening and shifting, greatly improving connection stability and reducing the risk of power outage due to poor contact; the indoor installation layout and the limiting groove cover form double protection, which not only eliminates the hidden danger of illegal opening and theft of the power supply from the outside, but also enhances the sealing of the receiving groove through the enclosed structure of multiple components, reducing the impact of dust and moisture intrusion on the power supply and extending its service life.

[0017] As shown in the figure, to achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a smart lock battery installation structure, including a housing 1, a sealing plate 2, and a power supply 3 for installation indoors. The housing 1 and the sealing plate 2 are connected, and a receiving groove 4 for accommodating the power supply 3 is formed between the housing 1 and the sealing plate 2. The power supply 3 is detachably connected to the receiving groove 4. The receiving groove 4 has a groove cover 5, and a limiting component 6 for preventing the groove cover 5 from falling off the receiving groove 4 is provided between the groove cover 5 and the side wall of the receiving groove 4. After the groove cover 5, the housing 1, and the sealing plate 2 are connected, they can limit the power supply 3 in the receiving groove 4.
[0018] In implementation, the housing 1 is first fixed to the installation position of the smart lock chamber with screws. The side of the housing 1 facing the sealing plate 2 has a raised frame. The sealing plate 2 and housing 1 are connected by snap-fit or pre-fixed with bolts. After they are aligned, the frame of the housing 1 and the inner wall of the sealing plate 2 form a receiving groove 4 for accommodating the power supply 3. The size of the receiving groove 4 matches the shape of the power supply 3, ensuring that the power supply 3 can be smoothly inserted without significant movement. The power supply 3 and the receiving groove 4 are detachably connected; specifically, the power supply 3 is directly inserted into the receiving groove 4. The power supply 3 can be removed later by removing the groove cover 5 for replacement or charging. The top of the receiving groove 4 is provided with a groove cover 5. The limiting component 6 between the groove cover 5 and the side wall of the receiving groove 4 can be made by bolts and inclined side walls. The inclined side walls are used to prevent the groove cover 5 from sliding off the receiving groove 4. Finally, it is reinforced by tightening the bolts. Alternatively, a protrusion and groove structure can be used. That is, the top of the side wall of the receiving groove 4 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion, and the inner side wall of the groove cover 5 is provided with a matching groove at the corresponding position. When the groove cover 5 is closed on the receiving groove 4, the protrusion is inserted into the groove to prevent the groove cover 5 from falling off the receiving groove 4. Finally, the groove cover 5, the housing 1, and the sealing plate 2 are connected and fixed by buckles or bolts. At this time, the inner side wall of the groove cover 5 can abut against the top of the power supply 3. Alternatively, the size can be changed to maintain a gap between the groove cover 5 and the power supply 3 for heat dissipation. The housing 1 and the sealing plate 2 abut against the two sides of the power supply 3 respectively to limit the power supply 3 and prevent the power supply 3 from shifting during use.
[0019] As an improved specific implementation, the limiting component 6 includes a limiting wall 61 disposed on the sealing plate 2 for limiting the groove cover 5 from dislodging from the receiving groove 4 along the side wall of the sealing plate 2, and the limiting wall 61 abuts against the groove cover 5.
[0020] In this design, the top area of the sidewall of the receiving groove 4 is directly machined into a slope, which serves as the limiting wall 61. The surface of the slope can retain textured lines to increase friction during machining. When the cover 5 is placed on the receiving groove 4, the slope of the cover 5 completely abuts against the limiting wall 61 of the sidewall of the receiving groove 4. Through the limiting effect of the slope, the cover 5 is prevented from detaching along the sidewall of the sealing plate 2 away from the center of the receiving groove 4. This structure eliminates the need for additional sheet-like components outside the sealing plate 2 or the receiving groove 4, relying solely on the slope of the sidewall of the receiving groove 4 itself for limiting, simplifying the structure and machining process while ensuring reliable limiting.
[0021] As an improved specific implementation, there are two limiting walls 61, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the sealing plate 2.
[0022] In the implementation of this scheme, it is preferable to set two limiting walls 61. Compared with a single inclined plane limiting, two symmetrically set inclined planes can make the force on the groove cover 5 more balanced, avoid the groove cover 5 from tilting or local wear due to force on one side, and the limiting effect is also better, making the connection between the groove cover 5 and the receiving groove 4 more stable.
[0023] As an improved specific implementation, the limiting wall 61 extends upward from the direction of the housing 1 toward the direction of the sealing plate 2, and the side wall of the groove cover 5 that abuts against the limiting wall 61 is correspondingly provided with the limiting wall 61.
[0024] In this design, the limiting wall 61 extends upwards from the housing 1 towards the sealing plate 2 at an angle of 30°, which can also be set to 45° or other suitable angles depending on installation requirements. The side wall of the slot cover 5 that abuts against the limiting wall 61 is also machined into a matching bevel with the same bevel direction and angle, ensuring that the bevels of the two surfaces completely fit together without gaps when the slot cover 5 is closed. When the slot cover 5 is closed, the bevel of the slot cover 5 should be aligned with the bevel of the side wall of the receiving slot 4 and then pressed downwards. The bevel direction guides the slot cover 5 to slide precisely into the installation position, and the fitting bevels increase the friction between them, further preventing the slot cover 5 from coming off.
[0025] As an improved specific implementation, the limiting component 6 also includes a limiting rib 62 and a limiting socket 63 for limiting the power supply 3 in the receiving groove 4. The limiting rib 62 is provided on the corresponding two side walls of the power supply 3 and abuts against the side wall that it contacts. The limiting socket 63 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 4 and can be plugged into the power supply 3. The power supply 3 is provided with a slot 31 at the position corresponding to the limiting socket 63.
[0026] In implementation, this solution features an integrally formed elongated limiting rib 62 on the inner wall of the receiving groove 4, corresponding to the left and right sides of the power supply 3. When the power supply 3 is placed into the receiving groove 4, the left limiting rib 62 abuts against the left side wall of the power supply 3, and the right limiting rib 62 abuts against the right side wall of the power supply 3, restricting the displacement of the power supply 3 in the left and right directions. At the bottom center of the receiving groove 4, an integrally formed limiting socket 63 is provided, with a protruding insert at the top. The bottom of the power supply 3 has a matching slot 31 corresponding to the position of the limiting socket 63. When the power supply 3 is placed into the receiving groove 4, it must first cooperate with the left and right limiting of the limiting rib 62, and then align the slot 31 of the power supply 3 with the insert of the limiting socket 63 and insert it, thereby limiting the power supply 3 in the up and down directions, forming a double limiting protection for the power supply 3. All structures are integrated within the receiving groove 4.
[0027] As an improved specific implementation, the side wall of the power supply 3 corresponding to the sealing plate 2 can abut against the sealing plate 2, and the side wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the housing 1 can abut against the housing 1.
[0028] In the implementation of this scheme, the power supply 3 is a rectangular lithium battery, the size of which matches the internal size of the receiving slot 4. The front side wall of the power supply 3 on the side of the sealing plate 2 is a planar structure. When the sealing plate 2 is connected and fixed to the housing 1, the front side wall of the power supply 3 is tightly abutted against the inner side wall of the sealing plate 2. The rear side wall of the power supply 3 on the side of the housing 1 is also a planar structure and abuts against the inner side wall of the housing 1.
[0029] As an improved specific implementation, the groove cover 5, the shell 1, and the sealing plate 2 are fixed together by bolts.
[0030] When implementing this solution, it is preferable to fix the groove cover 5, the shell 1, and the sealing plate 2 with two bolts. The fixing method is simple and has good stability.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments 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 within its protection scope. 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 its protection scope.
