[0047] Currently available smart locks are equipped with a mechanical lock cylinder and lock body for emergency unlocking. In case of electronic malfunction or power failure, a mechanical key is used to unlock the door. Existing mechanical key combination modules are bulky and aesthetically unappealing when integrated with smart locks. Smaller mechanical key combination modules are easily cracked and cumbersome to operate. While smart lock users enjoy the convenience of electronic methods such as apps, electronic passwords, fingerprints, and card swipes, they often forget where they stored their spare emergency mechanical keys, making them difficult to find or requiring a long time to locate when needed, causing inconvenience. Therefore, based on the above needs, this embodiment provides a combination lock 100.
[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 22 This embodiment discloses a combination lock 100, which includes: a housing 10, a combination dial assembly 1, a clutch assembly 3 and an operation assembly 2 connected within the housing 10;
[0049] The password disk assembly 1 includes: a plurality of outer password disks 11, and a plurality of inner password disks 12 respectively engaged with the outer password disks 11;
[0050] The clutch assembly 3 includes: at least one clutch element 36, a clutch block 35 connected to the clutch element 36, a clutch gear 34 connected to the clutch block 35, a driven gear 33 meshing with the clutch gear 34, and a paddle 32 connected to the driven gear 33.
[0051] The operating component 2 includes: a drive shaft 21, an adapter 24 connected to the drive shaft 21, a gear disk 25 connected to the adapter 24, and a rotatable handle 22 connected to the front end of the drive shaft 21.
[0052] When the correct password is entered into the keypad assembly 1, the clutch 36 is activated, causing the clutch gear 34 to move forward and engage with the gear disk 25. The handle 22 is then rotated, which in turn drives the paddle 32 to open the lock body.
[0053] Compared to existing emergency unlocking structures using mechanical keys, the combination lock 100 in this embodiment integrates a combination disc-type emergency combination lock on the lock body. In case of an emergency, the combination disc assembly 1 and operation assembly 2 connected to the lock body can be manually operated to unlock the lock. This eliminates the need for the user to store a mechanical key in advance, greatly improving ease of use. Furthermore, the combination disc-type combination lock is integrated into the lock body, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall design.
[0054] It should be noted that the housing 10 of the combination lock 100 in this embodiment also integrates a commonly used smart lock cylinder, such as a fingerprint lock, a face recognition lock, an input password lock, a card swipe password lock, etc. The housing 10 also includes one or more combinations of the above-mentioned smart lock cylinders.
[0055] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 After the outer cipher disks 11 are assembled, a flat plane is formed on their outer surfaces. In this embodiment, the outer cipher disks 11 include a first outer cipher disk 111, a second outer cipher disk 112, and a third outer cipher disk 113. The first outer cipher disk 111, the second outer cipher disk 112, and the third outer cipher disk 113 are coaxially nested, and their structures are identical, differing only in diameter. After the first outer cipher disk 111, the second outer cipher disk 112, and the third outer cipher disk 113 are nested together, they can rotate in unison, with each outer cipher disk representing one cipher. It is understood that the number of outer cipher disks 11 and inner cipher disks 12 can be increased or decreased as needed, and is not limited to the three sets of ciphers in this embodiment.
[0056] The outer cipher disk 11 has a radially protruding protrusion 114 on its inner ring edge, and the inner cipher disk 12 has a radially extending groove 121 on its back. After the first outer cipher disk 111, the second outer cipher disk 112, and the third outer cipher disk 113 are nested and connected, adjacent outer cipher disks are linked together by the protrusion 114.
[0057] In another embodiment, the number of clutches 36 may be the same as the number of inner password disks 12, and may also be a single clutch that can be simultaneously inserted into the back groove of multiple inner password disks 12.
[0058] The inner surfaces of the first outer code disk 111, the second outer code disk 112, and the third outer code disk 113 are all provided with axially protruding outer disk teeth 115, and the corresponding outer surface of the inner code disk 12 is provided with axially protruding inner disk teeth 122. The outer disk teeth 115 on the outer code disk 11 and the inner disk teeth 122 on the inner code disk 12 mesh with each other.
[0059] In this embodiment, the outer cipher disk 11 is provided with three sets of cipher disks, and the corresponding inner cipher disk 12 is also provided with three sets of ring teeth 122. The two are respectively meshed to achieve linkage rotation.
[0060] Please refer to it again. Figure 14 and Figure 15 When the password input of the keypad assembly 1 is correct, the clutch 36 sinks into the groove 121. The clutch gear 34 is also provided with an elastic element 37 along its axial direction. The clutch 36, the clutch block 35, and the clutch gear 34 can all reciprocate along the elastic force direction of the elastic element 37. As shown in the figure, the elastic force direction of the elastic element 37 is in the horizontal direction. The elastic element 37 is a spring. The back of the clutch gear 34 is also provided with an axially recessed connecting annular groove 341, and the elastic element 37 is installed in the annular groove 341.
[0061] Both the clutch gear 34 and the driven gear 33 are installed inside a clutch cover 31, which is connected to the housing 10. The clutch component 36 and the clutch block 35 can be either separate or integrated.
[0062] The inner password disk 12 is connected to the mounting groove of the housing 10 by a fixing piece 13. The inner disk surface of the outer password disk 11 is provided with outer disk teeth 115 in the axial direction, and the outer disk surface of the inner password disk 12 is provided with inner disk teeth 122 in the axial direction. The outer disk teeth 115 mesh with the inner disk teeth 122.
[0063] Please refer to it again. Figure 7 The housing 10 contains at least one set of elastic components. The inner surface of the inner cipher disc 12 is uniformly provided with recessed holes 123. Each elastic component includes a steel ball 102 and a spring 103. The spring 103 elastically abuts against the steel ball 102, causing the steel ball 102 to at least partially sink into the recessed hole 123. Specifically, the housing 10 contains a mounting groove that aligns with the recessed hole 123 on the back of the inner cipher disc 12. Both the steel ball 102 and the spring 103 are disposed within the mounting groove, with the steel ball 102 partially sinking into the recessed hole 123, thus providing a better tactile feedback when the inner cipher disc 12 rotates.
[0064] like Figure 12 As shown, the operating component 2 also includes a keypad clutch block 23, which is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 21. When rotating, the keypad clutch block 23 can engage and disengage with the outer keypad 11. During emergency unlocking of the keypad component 1, the handle 22 can be lifted and rotated by hand, simultaneously driving the outer keypad 11 via the keypad clutch block 23, thus achieving a more effortless operation.
[0065] Please refer to it again. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The combination lock 100 also includes a combination lock modification component 4, which includes a directional ring 41 and a drive ring 42 disposed between the outer combination lock 11 and the inner combination lock 12. The directional ring 41 and the drive ring 42 are linked together. The inner ring surface of the drive ring 42 is provided with an axially protruding boss 423. The mounting groove of the housing 10 is provided with a boss groove 106 corresponding to the boss 423. When the drive ring 42 is driven to rotate, the boss 423 of the drive ring 42 exits from the boss groove 106, and simultaneously lifts the directional ring 41, so as to push the outer combination lock 11 away from the inner combination lock 12, thereby changing the outer combination lock 11 and the inner combination lock 12 from an engaged state to a disengaged state. At this time, the outer combination lock 11 can be manually rotated to change the combination.
[0066] Please refer to it again. Figures 16 to 21 When modifying the password, the password modification component 4 needs to ensure that the password input by the password disk component 1 is correct. Therefore, the drive ring 42 is also provided with at least one set of elastic slider components 40. The elastic slider component 40 includes: a slider 43, a spring 44 that elastically supports the slider, and a connecting shaft 45 connected to the slider 43. The connecting shaft 45 and the slider 43 are controlled by the spring 44 to move back and forth synchronously. The clutch block 35 is provided with a clearance groove 351 (352) corresponding to the connecting shaft 45. When the password input by the password disk component 1 is correct, the end of the connecting shaft 45 is inserted into the clearance groove 351 (352), so that the drive ring 42 can be operated to separate the inner password disk 12 from the outer password disk 11.
[0067] like Figure 20 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic slider assembly 40 is provided in two sets and is arranged symmetrically from left to right. The slider 43 and the spring 44 are installed in the horizontal direction. The connecting shaft 45 is connected to the spring 44 at an angle. The spring 44 drives the slider 43 to move left and right, and synchronously drives the connecting shaft 45 to move so that it inserts into the clearance groove 351 (352) or exits from the clearance groove 351 (352).
[0068] The inner ring surface of the drive ring 42 is axially provided with the same number of raised steps 422 as the elastic slider assembly 40, and the outer side of the slider 43 abuts against the raised steps 422. The clutch block 35 is controlled by the clutch member 36, which is controlled by the password disk assembly 1. When the password is entered incorrectly into the password disk assembly 1, the clutch member retracts, and at this time the end of the connecting shaft 45 cannot be inserted into the clearance groove 351 (352). Correspondingly, the elastic slider assembly 40 is limited, and the slider 43 cannot move left or right. At this time, the drive ring 42 cannot rotate, and the corresponding directional ring 41 will not rotate in conjunction. At this time, the password disk assembly 1 cannot change the password.
[0069] The directional ring 41 has a locking protrusion 411 on its ring surface, and the drive ring 42 has a corresponding locking groove 421 on its ring surface. The two are linked by the locking protrusion 411 that is locked into the locking groove 421.
[0070] The outer side of the drive ring 42 is also provided with some external teeth 424, and the outer side of the drive ring 42 is also provided with a secondary gear 46. The secondary gear 46 meshes with the external teeth 424. The secondary gear 46 allows the user to operate the drive ring 42 from outside the housing 10, thereby realizing password modification.
[0071] like Figure 16 The bottom of the mounting groove of the housing 10 is also provided with a limiting groove 105, and the directional ring 41 is provided with a corresponding directional protrusion. When the driving ring 42 rotates, it drives the directional ring 41 to rise axially.
[0072] Please see Figures 18 to 21 , Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram showing the state of the internal components of the password disk component 1 before the password is changed. Figure 19 This diagram illustrates the state of the internal components when the password is changed. After the password is changed, simply press down on the outer password disk 11 to reset it.
[0073] Please refer to it again. Figure 22 The inner end of the slider 43 is also provided with a sliding buckle 431, which is engaged with the inner edge of the outer password disk 11, specifically at the inner edge 1111 of the first outer password disk 111. The engagement of the slider 43 with the outer password disk 11 increases the difficulty of externally forcibly disassembling the password disk assembly 1, thereby improving security.
[0074] This embodiment of the combination lock adds a combination dial-type mechanical emergency lock structure to the existing combination lock, allowing for emergency unlocking in case of power failure or smart lock malfunction. The combination dial-type mechanical lock is flush with the lock body, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing design. Compared to existing emergency unlocking methods such as mechanical keys, it is more convenient and simpler to use.
