[0001] Embodiments of this disclosure relate to the field of battery assembly technology, specifically to door locks and doors. Background Technology

[0002] Battery assembly involves multiple aspects, including materials science, manufacturing processes, and specific assembly techniques. Most electronic door locks embed the battery directly into the inner panel.

[0003] However, when fixing the battery using the above method, the following technical problems often occur:

[0004] When the battery is installed directly on the inner panel, frequent opening and closing of the door can cause the internal battery to easily fall out, affecting the user experience.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure concept, and therefore may contain information that does not form prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The summary portion of this disclosure is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description portion. This summary portion is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0007] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide door locks and doors to address one or more of the technical problems mentioned in the background section above.

[0008] In a first aspect, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door lock, characterized in that the door lock includes an inner panel and a battery, wherein the inner panel is provided with a battery mounting slot; one end of the battery mounting slot is provided with a mounting bracket; the mounting bracket is provided with an elastic element; and the battery is fixed in the battery mounting slot by the elastic element.

[0009] Optionally, the mounting bracket and the inner panel described above are an integral structure.

[0010] Optionally, the mounting bracket is configured to be detachably connected to the inner panel.

[0011] Optionally, the inner panel is provided with a mounting bracket mounting groove, the mounting bracket mounting groove is provided with a mounting bracket mounting hole, and the lower end face of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting protrusion structure, the mounting protrusion structure being configured to match the mounting bracket mounting hole.

[0012] Optionally, the mounting bracket includes elastic clips, and the mounting bracket is provided with multiple elastic clips.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting bracket is provided with a disassembly groove, which is an open groove, and the open side of the disassembly groove is adjacent to the battery.

[0014] Optionally, the battery assembly slot is provided with a battery limiting protrusion structure, which is configured to secure the battery.

[0015] Optionally, one end of the battery assembly slot is a mounting slope, and the mounting slope has an angle difference with the vertical surface adjacent to the battery.

[0016] Optionally, the door lock includes a battery cover, the lower end face of which is provided with a mounting buckle, and the upper edge of the inner panel is provided with a battery cover mounting groove, wherein the mounting buckle and the battery cover mounting groove are fitted together.

[0017] Secondly, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door, characterized in that the door includes a door body and a door lock as described in the first aspect above.

[0018] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door lock that offers a battery mounting and securing method. Specifically, the reason why batteries in the inner panels of most door locks are prone to detachment is that, since the batteries in most door locks are installed in the inner panel, frequent opening and closing of the door can cause the batteries to fall out, affecting the user experience. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door lock characterized in that the door lock includes an inner panel and a battery, wherein the inner panel has a battery mounting slot; one end of the battery mounting slot has a mounting bracket; the mounting bracket has an elastic element; and the battery is fixed in the battery mounting slot by the elastic element. On one hand, this solution secures the battery by designing a mounting bracket with an elastic element, thus firmly securing the battery installed in the inner panel. On the other hand, the mounting bracket with an elastic element designed in this solution is not as overly tight as conventional battery mounting structures (such as using soft materials to squeeze the battery, thereby securing it with friction), requiring a large instantaneous force for disassembly. Therefore, while making battery removal and replacement easier, it provides a structure that can, to a certain extent, prevent the battery in the inner panel of the door lock from falling out due to external force, improving the user experience.

Figure 1 As shown, three of the aforementioned limiting protrusion structures 281 can be provided on one side of the battery mounting groove 22. The aforementioned limiting protrusion structure 281 can be configured to fit snugly against one side of the battery 3. Figure 1 As shown, the aforementioned type I limiting protrusion structure 281 can be three rectangular protrusion structures, with a certain distance between each pair of adjacent rectangular protrusion structures. The distance between each pair of adjacent rectangular protrusion structures can be the same and is not specifically limited. The aforementioned type I limiting protrusion structure 281 can, to a certain extent, prevent the battery 3 from shaking in two directions within the battery assembly slot 22. The aforementioned type II limiting protrusion structure 282 is provided on the other adjacent sides of the battery assembly slot 22. The size of the aforementioned type II limiting protrusion structure 282 is larger than the size of the aforementioned type I limiting protrusion structure 281. Figure 1 As shown, the aforementioned second-type limiting protrusion structure 282 can be a rectangular protrusion structure larger than the aforementioned first-type limiting protrusion structure 281. Two sets of the aforementioned second-type limiting protrusion structure 282 can be provided on two sides of the battery assembly groove 22, with each set containing two second-type limiting protrusion structures 282. The two sets of the aforementioned second-type limiting protrusion structures 282 can be provided on opposite sides. The aforementioned second-type limiting protrusion structure 282 can be configured to fit tightly against the other two sides of the battery 3. The aforementioned second-type limiting protrusion structure 282 can, to a certain extent, prevent the battery 3 from wobbling in two directions within the battery assembly groove 22.

The aforementioned third-type limiting protrusion structure 283 is a hook-shaped structure. Figure 1 As shown, the three types of limiting protrusions 283 can be two hook-shaped protrusions disposed on the edge of the battery assembly groove 22. The three types of limiting protrusions 283 can be configured to fit snugly against one side of the battery. The three types of limiting protrusions 283 can prevent the battery 3 from wobbling in the remaining two directions within the battery assembly groove 22. The four types of limiting protrusions 284 can be disposed on one side of the battery assembly groove 22. The four types of limiting protrusions 284 can be a battery guiding assembly structure. Figure 1 As shown, the four types of limiting protrusions 284 can be elongated protrusions disposed on one side of the battery assembly slot 22. The battery assembly slot 22 can be provided with one of the four types of limiting protrusions 284. One side of the battery 3 can have a groove. The four types of limiting protrusions 284 can match the grooves on the corresponding surfaces of the battery. The four types of limiting protrusions 284 not only provide a certain limiting effect on the battery 3, but also guide the user in installing the battery 3.

[0044] The above-described optional embodiments, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solve the technical problem that "the battery will wobble to a certain extent after being installed in the battery mounting slot, which can easily damage the interface." The specific factors causing the battery to wobble to a certain extent after being installed in the battery mounting slot and easily damaging the interface are as follows: When the battery is installed in the battery mounting slot, it is generally not completely in contact with the surrounding area of ​​the mounting slot. If it is too tightly attached, it will hinder disassembly, but leaving gaps will inevitably cause slight wobble, which can easily damage the battery interface. If the above factors are solved, the problem of the battery wobble to a certain extent after being installed in the battery mounting slot and easily damaging the interface can be solved. To achieve this effect, this disclosure proposes a battery limiting structure. On the one hand, the battery limiting structure can limit the battery from six directions, and all of them leave some gaps between the battery and the battery mounting slot 22, so as not to create additional obstacles to disassembly. On the other hand, one of the limiting protrusion structures of the battery limiting structure also includes a guiding assembly function, which can not only limit the battery but also help guide the user to install the battery. Therefore, without hindering disassembly, the shaking of the battery in the aforementioned battery assembly slot is reduced, extending the service life of the interface.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the battery mounting slot 22 with the power socket connection hole can be a mounting bevel 29. The mounting bevel 29 can have an angle difference with the vertical plane adjacent to the battery. The mounting bevel 29 can be used to make it easier to insert the battery 3 into the battery mounting slot 22.

[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the aforementioned door lock may include a battery cover 4. The lower end face of the battery cover 4 may be provided with a mounting buckle 41. The upper edge of the aforementioned inner panel 2 is provided with a battery cover mounting groove 27. The aforementioned mounting buckle 41 and the aforementioned battery cover mounting groove 27 are mutually engaged. Figure 2 As shown, the battery cover 4 can be fitted and fixed to the inner panel 2 by the battery cover mounting slot 27, and covers the battery 3. The battery cover 4 can provide some protection for the structure inside the inner panel 2 and make the appearance of the inner panel 2 more aesthetically pleasing. When installing the battery cover 4, some cushioning material such as foam pads can be placed on the battery 3 to further protect the battery 3.

[0047] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door lock that offers a battery mounting and securing method. Specifically, the reason why batteries in the inner panels of most door locks are prone to detachment is that, since the batteries in most door locks are installed in the inner panel, frequent opening and closing of the door can cause the batteries to fall out, affecting the user experience. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door lock characterized in that the door lock includes an inner panel and a battery, wherein the inner panel has a battery mounting slot; one end of the battery mounting slot has a mounting bracket; the mounting bracket has an elastic element; and the battery is fixed in the battery mounting slot by the elastic element. On one hand, this solution secures the battery by designing a mounting bracket with an elastic element, thus firmly securing the battery installed in the inner panel. On the other hand, the mounting bracket with an elastic element designed in this solution is not as overly tight as conventional battery mounting structures (such as using soft materials to squeeze the battery, thereby securing it with friction), requiring a large instantaneous force for disassembly. Therefore, while making battery removal and replacement easier, it provides a structure that can, to a certain extent, prevent the battery in the inner panel of the door lock from falling out due to external force, improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, a door may include a door body and, for example, a door with a door body and, Figure 1-3 The corresponding door locks in those embodiments. The aforementioned door locks can be fixed to a target surface by using first-type and second-type fixing screws installed in first-type fixing screw holes 24 and second-type fixing screw holes 25. The target surface can include, but is not limited to, the door body surface, wall surface, and column surface. For example... Figure 1As shown, the aforementioned type 1 fixing screw hole 24 can be provided on the aforementioned mounting bracket assembly slot 21. The aforementioned type 1 fixing screw hole 24 can be configured to accommodate a type 1 fixing screw. The size of the aforementioned type 1 fixing screw can match the size of the aforementioned type 1 fixing screw hole 24; the aforementioned type 1 fixing screw can be a self-tapping screw or a machine screw. There is no specific limitation on the type of the aforementioned type 1 fixing screw. The aforementioned mounting bracket assembly slot 22 can be provided with a type 2 fixing screw hole 25. The size of the aforementioned type 2 fixing screw hole 25 can be larger than the size of the aforementioned type 1 fixing screw hole. The aforementioned type 2 fixing screw hole 25 can be configured to accommodate a type 2 fixing screw. The size of the aforementioned type 2 fixing screw can match the size of the aforementioned type 2 fixing screw hole 25; the aforementioned type 2 fixing screw can be a carbon steel screw or a nylon fastener. There is no specific limitation on the type of the aforementioned type 2 fixing screw. The material of the aforementioned door body is not limited, as long as it serves the basic function of a door. The aforementioned door lock can be located on the opening / closing side of the aforementioned door body; the specific location is not limited. The aforementioned door lock can be an electronic lock. The aforementioned door lock may also include an outer panel. The outer panel is mated with the inner panel. The outer panel may be the portion of the door lock located on the outside of the door.

[0049] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door, including a door lock with a battery securing device. Specifically, the reason why batteries located on the inner panel of most door locks are prone to falling off is that: the batteries in most door locks are located on the inner panel, which is close to the door body. This means that when the door is frequently opened and closed, the battery is subjected to external force and is easily dislodged, affecting the user experience. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a door, which includes a door body and a... Figure 1-3 The corresponding door locks in those embodiments. Therefore, while ensuring the basic functions of the door, a method for securing the battery on the inner panel of the door lock is provided, reducing the possibility of the inner panel battery falling off and improving the user experience.

[0050] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
