[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hidden front panel assembly and a smart lock, including a smart lock body 1. A movable groove 2 is provided at the center of the bottom position of the smart lock body 1. Lifting grooves 3 are provided on both sides of the movable groove 2 inside the smart lock body 1. A groove 5 is provided at the bottom of the smart lock body 1 below the movable groove 2. A movable plate 7 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 2. Threaded rotating rods 8 are rotatably connected to both sides of the movable groove 2. The threaded rotating rods 8 are sleeved and threadedly connected to the movable plate 7. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected inside the groove 5. The bottom of the threaded rotating rod 8 penetrates into the interior of the groove 5 and is fixedly connected to a gear 11. Gears 2 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating rod 10. A main gear 13 is fixedly installed at the center of the rotating rod 10. A micro frequency converter motor 14 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the groove 5. A one-way gear rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top output end of the micro frequency converter motor 14. The top of the one-way gear rod 15 penetrates into the interior of the groove 5.

[0015] One side of the top of the one-way gear rod 15 meshes with the bottom of one side of the main gear 13.

[0016] One side of the bottom of gear 11 meshes with the top of one side of gear 2 12.

[0017] Lifting blocks 9 are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable plate 7. The side of the lifting block 9 away from the movable plate 7 extends into the interior of the lifting groove 3 and is slidably connected to the lifting groove 3.

[0018] Both the movable plate 7 and the lifting block 9 are fixedly connected to the front side of the front end block 16, and the front side of the front end block 16 extends through to the outside of the smart lock body 1 and is fixedly connected to the outer plate 21.

[0019] The smart lock body 1 has two slots 17 and 18 on its two sides and center, respectively. The top of the outer plate 21 extends through the two slots 17 and 18 and engages with them. Magnetic strips 19 are fixedly connected to the top of both slots 17 and 18. The top of the outer plate 21 is magnetically connected to the magnetic strips 19.

[0020] A control button 6 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the smart lock body 1, a door handle 20 is movably mounted at the center of the front side of the smart lock body 1, and a lock hole 4 is opened at the bottom position of the center of the front side of the smart lock body 1.

[0021] Working principle: When the user needs to expose the keyhole 4 or adjust the height of the outer plate 21, they press the control button 6 on the top of the smart lock body 1. The control button 6 sends a signal to the micro frequency converter motor 14 to start the motor. After the micro frequency converter motor 14 starts, the one-way gear rod 15 at its output end begins to rotate. One side of the top of the one-way gear rod 15 meshes with the bottom of one side of the main gear 13, so the main gear 13 begins to rotate. The rotation of the main gear 13 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. Because the main gear 13 is fixedly installed near the center of the rotating rod 10, the rotation of the rotating rod 10 further drives the gears 12 on both sides to rotate. The gears 12 mesh with one side of the bottom of the gear 11, so the gear 11 also begins to rotate. The rotation of the gear 11 drives the threaded rotating rod 8 to rotate. Because the bottom of the threaded rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the gear 11, the rotation of the threaded rotating rod 8 causes the movable plate 7 to move up and down along the movable groove 2 under the action of the thread. The movement of the movable plate 7 causes the lifting blocks 9 on both sides to move synchronously. The lifting blocks 9 slide within the lifting groove 3 to ensure the stability of the movement. The movement of the movable plate 7 and the lifting blocks 9 further drives the front block 16 and the outer plate 21 to move up and down. The outer plate 21 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 7 and the lifting blocks 9 through the front block 16 to achieve height adjustment. During the up and down movement of the outer plate 21, its top is always engaged with the first slot 17 and the second slot 18 inside the smart lock body 1. The top of the first slot 17 and the second slot 18 are fixed with magnetic strips 19. The top of the outer plate 21 is magnetically connected to the magnetic strips 19 to ensure the stability of the outer plate 21 after the height is adjusted. When the outer plate 21 moves to the appropriate position, the lock hole 4 is exposed, and the user can use a traditional key to unlock it. At the same time, other functions of the smart lock (such as fingerprint recognition, password input, etc.) can still be operated through the door handle 20 and the control button 6.

[0022] In summary, this concealed front panel assembly and smart lock, by setting a movable groove 2 and a lifting groove 3 within the smart lock body 1, and equipping it with a movable plate 7 and lifting blocks 9 on both sides, achieves height adjustment of the outer plate 21. Users can adjust the sliding motion of the movable plate 7 within the movable groove 2 using a micro-frequency conversion motor 14, thereby moving the outer plate 21 up and down, ensuring that the lock hole 4 can be easily exposed, adapting to users of different heights or door design requirements. The threaded connection design between the threaded rotating rod 8 and the movable plate 7 ensures the stability and accuracy of the adjustment process, preventing the outer plate 21 from shaking or shifting during adjustment. The introduction of the micro-frequency conversion motor 14 as a driving mechanism... The power source, through the meshing of the one-way gear rod 15 with the main gear 13, and the linkage between the main gear 13 and gear one 11 and gear two 12, realizes the automatic drive of the threaded rotating rod 8. The user only needs to issue a command through the control button 6 to realize the automatic lifting and lowering of the outer plate 21, which greatly simplifies the operation complexity and improves the user experience. The smart lock body 1 is provided with slot one 17 and slot two 18, which are engaged with the top of the outer plate 21 to ensure the stability and reliability of the outer plate 21 during the lifting and lowering process. At the same time, the magnetic strip 19 fixed at the top of the slot is magnetically connected to the outer plate 21, which further enhances the structural stability and avoids the outer plate 21 from loosening or falling off due to external force.
