[0025] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] Those skilled in the art urgently need a new intelligent U-shaped lock which not only provides higher security against brute force cracking, but also supports multiple unlocking methods through intelligent technical means to improve user experience.
[0027] In summary, the present application aims to provide an intelligent U-shaped lock with more stable structure, higher security and more diversified unlocking methods to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0028] The utility model provides a kind of intelligent U-shaped lock, please refer to Figs. 1 to 4 , the U-shaped lock includes U-shaped lock body 1, sliding cover 2, lock cylinder 3, fixed rod 4, lock catch 5 and fingerprint touch sensor 6, wherein the sliding cover 2 is located on the lock gate surface of U-shaped lock body 1, the lock cylinder 3 is embedded in the bottom of lock gate in the form of embedding;
[0029] The fixed rod 4 and the lock catch 5 are located inside the U-shaped lock beam of U-shaped lock body 1, wherein the fixed rod 4 is located at one end of the U-shaped lock beam, for fixing the U-shaped lock beam and the lock gate, in the opening state, the fixed rod 4 can be stretched out from the U-shaped lock beam, the lock catch 5 is located at the other end of the U-shaped lock beam, for fixing the U-shaped lock in the locked position.
[0030] In the opening state, the lock catch 5 is ejected, and the fixed rod 4 connects the upper and lower lock body structures.
[0031] The sliding cover 2 is located on the side of the lock catch close to the lock catch 5, and is a slidable structure. A fingerprint touch sensor 6 is arranged below the sliding cover 2, and is used for identifying fingerprints.
[0032] Further, the fingerprint touch sensor 6 is internally provided with a communication unit, which is used for sending / receiving information from a user terminal.
[0033] Further, the smart U-shaped lock further comprises a loudspeaker, which is arranged on the surface of the lock catch, and is used for issuing a ringing alarm.
[0034] Further, the smart U-shaped lock is further provided with a driving motor and a battery, which are arranged inside the lock catch. The driving motor is used for receiving unlocking information from the user terminal and performing unlocking.
[0035] Further, the smart U-shaped lock has two states: an open state and a closed state.
[0036] When the smart U-shaped lock is in the closed state, the smart U-shaped lock is in an integrated state.
[0037] In the closed state (i.e., the working state), the sliding cover 2 can be closed to prevent the fingerprint touch sensor 6 from being worn and reducing the sensing accuracy. At this time, the entire lock body is in the closed state, and the integrated appearance design has no exposed gap that can be pried open. The lock cylinder 3 at the bottom is a mechanical keyhole. The sunken lock cylinder design causes the internal structure of the lock cylinder not to be exposed to the air without inserting the key, thereby preventing rain corrosion or air oxidation.
[0038] Further, the sliding cover 2 is in a normally closed state.
[0039] Further, the smart U-shaped lock further comprises a mechanical key matched with the lock cylinder 3.

The communication unit sends information that the U-shaped lock is damaged to the user terminal, and the loudspeaker issues an alarm.
[0042] The outer surface of the closed loop is made of insulating material.
[0043] The present application has three unlocking modes. The product has three unlocking modes: fingerprint unlocking, APP unlocking, and mechanical unlocking. If the fingerprint is worn or incomplete or the key is forgotten, the product can also be remotely unlocked by the mobile phone APP.
[0044] The present application has the following advantages:
[0045] 1) Safety: If the lock is broken by force, the owner can be informed in the first time;
[0046] 2) Reliability: The unlocking method is flexible and suitable for various life scenarios.
[0047] The product has an APP, which can push a message to the owner's mobile phone through the background software when the main structure is damaged. Any unlocking method may face the risk of failure. In order to ensure that the owner can unlock the lock, the product uses a combination of fingerprint unlocking and mobile phone control, which is a "key" that the owner cannot leave. At the same time, in order to ensure that the U-shaped lock has enough power to respond to unlocking at any time, a mechanical key is the owner's "last card".
[0048] The above description of various embodiments of the present application is provided to those skilled in the art for the purpose of description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility new type to a single disclosed embodiment. As described above, various alternatives and variations to the above-described technology will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
