[0051] When existing smart door locks malfunction, they cannot be opened with a key, causing inconvenience to users.

[0052] To address the above problems, a crash-clearing circuit for smart door locks is proposed.

[0053] A crash recovery circuit for a smart door lock, such as Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a modular structure diagram of a crash-clearing circuit for a smart door lock according to this utility model. It includes an interface module 100, a power supply module 200, a power-off module 300, and a discharge module 400. The interface module 100 is electrically connected to the power supply module 200 for connecting to an external power source. The interface module 100 is also electrically connected to the power-off module 300. The power-off module 300 is electrically connected to the discharge module 400.

[0054] In this embodiment, the power module 200 outputs a power supply voltage (M3V3A) to power the electronic control of the smart door lock. Upon receiving external power, the power-off module 300 disconnects the power chip of the power module 200, and the discharge module 400 discharges the output power supply voltage (M3V3A) after the power chip is disconnected.

[0055] Furthermore, the interface module 100 includes an external interface circuit and a voltage regulator unit; the external interface circuit is electrically connected to the voltage regulator unit, and the voltage regulator unit is electrically connected to the power supply module 200. The voltage regulator unit can be a Zener diode D1, and the interface module 100 can be powered by a 5V power input.

[0056] Furthermore, the power module 200 includes a first filter unit, a power chip, and a second filter unit; the first filter unit, the power chip, and the second filter unit are electrically connected in sequence. The first filter unit includes capacitors (C1, C2, C3, C4), and the second filter unit includes capacitor C5.

[0057] Furthermore, the power-off module 300 includes a leakage protection unit, a charging unit, and a first switching unit; one end of the leakage protection unit is electrically connected to the input end of the voltage regulator unit and the charging unit, the output end of the charging unit is electrically connected to the first end of the first switching unit, the second end of the first switching unit and the other end of the leakage protection unit are connected together and grounded, and the third end of the first switching unit is electrically connected to the power chip and the discharge module 400.

[0058] Specifically, the power chip U1 includes: input pin IN, enable pin EN, and output pin OUT;

[0059] The input pin IN is electrically connected to the interface module 100 and the first filter unit, the enable pin EN is electrically connected to the third terminal of the first switch unit, and the output pin OUT is electrically connected to the second filter unit.

[0060] like Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a circuit diagram of the deadlock release circuit of the smart door lock in this utility model; the leakage protection unit includes a discharge resistor R2, the charging unit includes a charging capacitor C7, one end of the discharge resistor R2 is electrically connected to the interface module 100 and one end of the charging capacitor C7 respectively, the other end of the discharge resistor R2 is connected to the second end of the first switch unit and then grounded, and the other end of the charging capacitor C7 is electrically connected to the first end of the first switch unit.

[0061] Specifically, the first switching unit includes a pull-down resistor R3 and a first transistor Q1. One end of the pull-down resistor R3 is electrically connected to the gate of the first transistor Q1, and the other end is connected to the source of the first transistor Q1 and then grounded.

[0062] Furthermore, the discharge module 400 includes a pull-up unit, a second switching unit, a voltage regulator capacitor unit, and a discharge resistor unit; the input terminal of the pull-up unit is electrically connected to the third terminal of the first switching unit and the first terminal of the second switching unit; the second terminal of the second switching unit is electrically connected to the output power of the power module 200 and the first terminal of the voltage regulator capacitor unit; the third terminal of the second switching unit is electrically connected to the first terminal of the discharge resistor unit; and the second terminals of the voltage regulator capacitor unit and the discharge resistor unit are connected together and then grounded.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 2 The pull-up unit includes a pull-up resistor R3, and the second switching unit includes a second transistor Q2. One end of the pull-up resistor R3 is electrically connected to the drain of the first transistor Q2, and the other end is electrically connected to the source of the second transistor Q2. The gate of the second transistor Q2 is electrically connected to the voltage regulator capacitor unit, and the drain is electrically connected to the discharge resistor unit.

[0064] like Figure 2 The voltage regulator capacitor unit includes capacitors (C8, C9), and the discharge resistor unit includes resistors (R4, R5, R6).

[0065] The principle behind the termination of this application is as follows:

[0066] Power-off module 300: After the interface module 100 is powered on, capacitor C7 starts charging. During the charging process, transistor Q1 is turned on, pulling the EN pin of power chip U3 low, and power chip U3 is powered off.

[0067] Discharge module 400: When transistor Q1 is turned on, the second transistor Q2 is turned on, all the filter capacitors on M3V3A are discharged, the main chip loses power and then disconnects from the power supply.

[0068] When capacitor C7 is fully charged, transistor Q1 is not conducting, the EN pin of power chip U3 is pulled high, the second transistor Q2 is turned off, and the main chip is powered normally.

[0069] The deadlock release circuit of the smart door lock in this utility model is implemented by setting up a power-off module 300 and a discharge module 400. When the smart door lock is dead, the power-off module 300 and the discharge module 400 can be activated by an external power supply to cut off and re-energize the power module 200 and the main chip. Users can then unlock the door normally using the key, which provides convenience for users.

[0070] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
