AI Technical Summary
Existing drawer locks are bulky, have poor transmission stability, and lack self-locking functionality, which negatively impacts the user experience.
The lock uses a worm gear transmission method, in which a motor drives the worm to rotate the gear. The lock tongue moves linearly in the groove through rollers. Combined with the meshing structure of the worm and gear, the linear reciprocating motion of the lock tongue is realized. The lock body is powered by an integrated circuit board and a battery, which reduces the size of the lock body and improves the smoothness of transmission and self-locking.
It achieves reduced lock body size, smooth transmission, low noise, strong load-bearing capacity, self-locking function, and significant anti-theft effect.
