[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1) This utility model describes a novel smart lock, including a rear panel, a battery box, a front upper box, and a front lower box. Side panels are provided on both sides of the rear panel. The front lower box is fixed to the lower part of the rear panel, and the front upper box is positioned above the rear panel. The front upper box and the front lower box are fastened together. A main board cover is mounted on the front upper box. A receiving cavity is provided between the rear panel and the front upper box. An opening is provided at the top of both the rear panel and the front upper box. The battery box passes through the opening and enters the receiving cavity. A first through hole is provided on the rear panel. The main board cover is fixed... The lock has a latch located on one side of the first through hole. The latch has a first angle. When the battery box enters the receiving cavity, it pushes up the latch, which then enters the first through hole for a limiting action. When the battery box leaves the latch, the latch leaves the first through hole and no longer limits the locking action. Because the battery box pushes the latch into the first through hole, the front upper box cannot be pulled out together with the battery box. The battery box must be pulled out first before the latch can leave the first through hole and the front upper box can be pulled out. This protects the front upper box from accidental removal that could break the connecting wires and improves the service life of the smart lock.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a novel smart lock, including a rear panel 1, a battery box 2, a front upper box 3, and a front lower box 4. The rear panel 1 is fixed to the door, and side panels 101 are provided on both sides of the rear panel 1. The front lower box 4 is fixed to the lower part of the rear panel 1, and the front upper box 3 is located above the rear panel 1. The front upper box 3 and the front lower box 4 are fastened together from top to bottom. A main board cover 5 is installed on the front upper box 3. A receiving cavity is provided between the rear panel 1 and the front upper box 3. An opening is provided at the top of the rear panel 1 and the front upper box 3. The battery box 2 passes through the opening and enters the receiving cavity. A first through hole 102 is provided on the rear panel 1. A latch 51 is fixed on the main board cover 5. Position 51 is located on one side of the first through hole 102. The latch 51 is provided with a first oblique angle 511. The first oblique angle 511 is designed to better lift the latch 51. When the battery box 2 enters the receiving cavity, it lifts the latch 51, and the latch 51 enters the first through hole 102 for limiting. When the battery box 2 leaves the latch 51, the latch 51 leaves the first through hole 102 and no longer limits. Because the battery box 2 lifts the latch 51 into the first through hole 102, the front upper box 3 cannot be pulled out together with the battery box 2. The battery box 2 must be pulled out first, and then the latch 51 will leave the first through hole 102 before the front upper box 2 can be pulled out. This protects the front upper box 2 from accidental pull-out and breakage of the connecting wire, and improves the service life of the smart lock.

[0028] Furthermore, a front buckle 301 is provided at the bottom of the upper front box 3. The front buckle 301 is inserted into the lower front box 4 for fastening connection. First horizontal hooks 302 are provided on both sides of the upper front box 3. A second horizontal hook 103 is provided on the rear plate 1 to cooperate with the first horizontal hooks 302. The first horizontal hooks 302 are fastened to the second horizontal hooks 103 for connection. This can restrict the upper front box 3 from moving forward and backward. The side plate 101 of the rear plate 1 can restrict the upper front box 3 from moving left and right. The front buckle 301 can be fastened easily.

[0029] Furthermore, limit strips 201 are provided on both sides of the battery box 2, and slots 303 corresponding to the limit strips 201 are provided on both sides of the front upper box 3. The limit strips 201 are inserted into the slots 303 for limiting.

[0030] Furthermore, a display window is provided on the surface of the front upper box 3, and a display module 6 is installed in the display window.

[0031] Furthermore, a main control circuit board is provided inside the front upper box 3. The main control circuit board is located at the bottom of the display module 6, and the main board cover 5 covers the main control circuit board.

[0032] Furthermore, the battery box 2 is provided with a second oblique angle 202 at the position where it contacts the latch 51, so that the latch 51 can be lifted up better.

[0033] Furthermore, a battery is installed inside the battery box 2.

[0034] Furthermore, anti-slip strips 203 are provided on both sides of the end position of the battery box 2 to prevent the hand from slipping.

[0035] Furthermore, the second horizontal hook 103 inside the rear plate 1 is stamped, so the second horizontal hook 103 can be stamped using the rear plate 1, resulting in a simple structure.

[0036] Existing smart locks often have issues when removing the battery compartment. Excessive force or a tight connection between the front upper compartment and the battery compartment can cause the front upper compartment to be pulled out as well, potentially breaking the numerous internal wiring and damaging the smart lock. Therefore, a new type of smart lock is provided. This lock features a first through-hole 102 on the rear panel 1 and a latch 51 fixed to the main board cover 5 with screws. The latch 51 is located to one side of the first through-hole 102 and has a first angled angle 511. This angled angle allows the latch 51 to be raised more effectively. When the battery compartment 2 enters the receiving cavity, the latch 51 is raised and then positioned within the first through-hole 102. When the battery box 2 leaves the latch 51, the latch 51 leaves the first through hole 102 and is no longer limited. Because the battery box 2 pushes the latch 51 into the first through hole 102, the front upper box 3 cannot be pulled out together with the battery box 2. Simply lifting the front upper box 2 does not disassemble it. The battery box 2 needs to be pulled out first. Only after the latch 51 is no longer pushed up by the battery box 2 can it leave the first through hole 102 and the front upper box 2 can be pulled out. This protects the front upper box 2 from accidental pulling out and the resulting breakage of the connecting wire, thus improving the service life of the smart lock.

[0037] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model are equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
