[0036] When it is necessary to retrieve the key at a certain installation point 4, the first door B1 can be opened by manually entering a fingerprint or password. Then, the key locking mechanism at the corresponding installation point 4 can be unlocked by entering the corresponding key number on the keypad 3. When the motor assembly 8 receives the unlock signal, it controls the pin 10 to retract, thereby releasing the lock on the key card holder 7. At this time, the entire key card holder 7 can be removed from the mounting frame by using the external ring buckle 10.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] This embodiment relates to an intelligent key box, which has the key locking mechanism described in Embodiment 1.

[0039] A smart key box, such as Figure 2As shown, the device includes a box body 5 with a door. Inside the box body 5, there is a mounting plate. The mounting plate has an emergency lock 6a and multiple rows of mounting points 4. Each mounting point 4 has a key locking mechanism. Each row of mounting points 4 has a corresponding sign, number, and indicator light to indicate the purpose or ownership of the corresponding key, its number, and the key's removal and return status. Each row of mounting points 4 is spaced apart from the sign to ensure that the text on the sign is always clearly visible, so as to avoid obscuring the information on the sign when the key card holder 7 is inserted.

[0040] The enclosure 5 is equipped with a primary access control mechanism for opening the enclosure door. The primary access control mechanism is a fingerprint reader 13 and / or a keyboard 3 configured on the enclosure door, which opens the enclosure door by fingerprint recognition and / or password input.

[0041] Enter the installation point number on keyboard 3 to unlock the key locking mechanism on the corresponding installation point 4.

[0042] The cabinet door Q1 is equipped with an emergency lock 6b.

[0044] A fingerprint reader 13, a display 14, and a keyboard 3 are installed on the outside of the door Q1, and are connected to a programmable controller and a memory installed on the inside of the door Q1.

[0045] The housing 5 is embedded.

[0046] When the key needs to be retrieved, the manager applies to open the door by touching the keypad or using a fingerprint reader. After the door is opened, the number of keys is displayed on the screen. The manager enters the number of installation point 4 by touching the keypad. The installation base plate 9 receives the unlocking signal and drives the motor lock assembly 8 to rotate through the control system, triggering the bolt 10 to retract and release the key card holder 7, thereby retrieving the key card holder 7.

[0047] When returning the key, the manager inserts the key card holder 7 into the corresponding installation point 4, and the pin 10 opens to lock the key card holder 7.

[0048] After the key is removed, the indicator light corresponding to installation point 4 turns red; after the key is returned, the indicator light corresponding to installation point 4 turns green.

[0049] Furthermore, the design of this novel smart key box optimizes space utilization. By rationally arranging multiple rows of installation points and signage, the key box can accommodate more keys while maintaining a neat and orderly appearance. This not only improves the efficiency of key management but also saves storage space.
