Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart lock technology, and in particular to a smart lock that is convenient to charge. Background Technology
[0002] In today's fast-paced life, people are increasingly focused on the convenience of various devices in their lives. For smart locks, traditional charging methods often require users to spend extra time and effort. For example, some smart locks use a battery removal charging method, which requires users to remember to regularly remove the battery and find a suitable charging device. This process may be forgotten due to the user's busyness or negligence, causing the smart lock to run out of power and malfunction at critical moments, causing great inconvenience to the user's daily life.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: When replacing the battery in a traditional smart lock, the process requires locating the battery, opening the cover, replacing the battery, and closing the cover. During the process of sliding the cover up and down to open or close it, the cover can easily exert slight pressure on the battery, causing the battery to shift in position within the battery compartment. This prevents the battery from making proper contact with the metal contacts inside the battery compartment, resulting in poor contact and unstable power supply to the smart lock. Therefore, to address the above problems, a smart lock that is easy to charge is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the existing technology of traditional smart locks where changing batteries requires locating the battery, opening the cover, replacing the battery, and closing the cover. During the process of sliding the cover up and down to open or close it, the cover can easily exert slight pressure on the battery, causing the battery to shift in position within the battery compartment. This results in poor contact between the battery and the metal contacts inside the battery compartment, leading to unstable power supply to the smart lock. Therefore, this invention proposes a smart lock that is easy to charge.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a smart lock that is easy to charge, comprising a smart lock body, wherein a replacement device is provided on the surface of the smart lock body, the replacement device comprising a battery compartment, the battery compartment being fixedly connected to the surface of the smart lock body, a long rod being fixedly connected to the surface of the battery compartment, a digital screen being rotatably connected to the arc surface of the long rod, a limiting groove being formed on the surface of the digital screen, a sliding groove being formed on the surface of the battery compartment, a telescopic rod being slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove of the battery compartment, a patch plate being fixedly connected to the surface of the telescopic rod, and a pull-out rod being fixedly connected to the surface of the patch plate, the pull-out rod being slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove of the digital screen.
[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: by setting up a replacement device, the battery replacement of the smart lock body is made more convenient. This avoids the traditional process of finding the battery location, opening the cover, replacing the battery, and closing the cover when replacing the battery in a smart lock body. During the operation of sliding the cover up and down to open or close it, the cover can easily exert slight pressure on the battery, causing the battery to shift in position within the battery compartment. This prevents the battery from making good contact with the metal contacts inside the battery compartment, resulting in poor contact and unstable power supply to the smart lock body.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the battery compartment has a movable groove, the inner wall of the movable groove of the battery compartment is rotatably connected to a round rod, the surface of the round rod is fixedly connected to a rotating plate, a screw is threaded into the rotating plate, and the surface of the digital screen has a threaded groove.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the user opens the digital screen to replace the battery, the digital screen will first rotate on the arc surface of the long rod. When it rotates to the corresponding position, the screw will be rotated downwards into the threaded groove of the digital screen to fix the opened digital screen. This helps the user keep the battery screen in a stable state when replacing the battery, providing the user with a safe, convenient and reliable operating environment.
[0009] Preferably, a central rod is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the battery compartment, and a collection plate is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the central rod.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above-mentioned components is as follows: when the user needs to remove the used battery, he / she only needs to pull the collection plate upward. The collection plate rotates on the arc surface of the central rod, and then the battery placed on the inner surface of the battery compartment is taken out and placed on the surface of the collection plate. This helps the user to conveniently and quickly remove the used battery from the battery compartment, which can significantly improve the efficiency of the user in changing batteries and reduce the operation time.
[0011] Preferably, an adsorption pad is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the battery compartment, and the size of the pull-out rod is adapted to the size of the digital screen limiting groove.
[0012] The above components achieve the following effects: the adsorption pad is made of polypropylene, which has a certain degree of elasticity and corrosion resistance. It can be bent and fitted according to the different shapes inside the smart lock's battery compartment, and can withstand the erosion of chemical substances in battery corrosive liquids, making it less prone to decomposition or deterioration.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the smart lock body is provided with a protective device, the protective device including two elliptical plates, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the smart lock body, and a setting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the two elliptical plates that are close to each other, and a rotating plate is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the setting rod.
[0014] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: by setting up a protective device, the fingerprint unlocking function of the smart lock body is protected. This prevents dust in the air from entering the fingerprint collection area of the smart lock body when the user is not using fingerprint unlocking, thus affecting the sensitivity and accuracy of fingerprint recognition. Consequently, fingerprints that could normally be accurately recognized may become indistinguishable due to dust covering the collection area, preventing the sensing element from clearly capturing the details of the fingerprint pattern. This can lead to the smart lock body failing to recognize fingerprints and displaying fingerprint error messages, causing great inconvenience to users in their daily unlocking.
[0015] Preferably, the arc surface of the setting rod is fitted with two torsion springs, and the two ends of the torsion springs are fixedly connected to the elliptical plate and the rotating plate, respectively.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when a user needs to unlock the device with their fingerprint, they only need to pull the rotating plate upwards. The rotating plate rotates on the arc surface of the setting rod. After the user finishes using the device, the torque of the torsion spring drives the rotating plate to slowly and automatically rotate downwards to reset it. This avoids the rotating plate from rapidly falling back on the arc surface of the setting rod, which could cause the rotating plate to collide with the scanning area of the smart lock body and damage the smart lock body.
[0017] Preferably, the surface of the rotating plate has two threaded grooves, a threaded rod is threadedly inserted into the inner thread of the elliptical plate, a handle is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove of the rotating plate.
[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the user needs to clean the fingerprint collection area, the rotating plate is rotated to ninety degrees, and then the handle is turned forward. The handle drives the threaded rod forward, so that the threaded rod enters the screw groove of the rotating plate, thus fixing the rotating plate. The threaded rod has self-locking properties. Through the tight fit between the threaded rod and the screw groove, the rotating plate is fixed in the required position, ensuring that it will not rotate or shake randomly when the user cleans the fingerprint unlocking area.
[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. In this utility model, by setting a replacement device, the battery replacement of the smart lock body is made more convenient. It avoids the traditional operation process of finding the battery, opening the cover, replacing the battery, and closing the cover when replacing the battery. During the operation of sliding the cover up and down to open or close the cover, the cover is very easy to slightly squeeze the battery, causing the battery to shift in position in the battery compartment. This makes it impossible for the battery to make good contact with the metal contacts in the battery compartment, resulting in poor contact and unstable power supply to the smart lock body.
[0021] 2. In this utility model, by setting a protective device, the fingerprint unlocking of the smart lock body is protected. This prevents dust in the air from entering the fingerprint collection area of the smart lock body when the user is not using fingerprint unlocking, which would affect the sensitivity and accuracy of fingerprint recognition. As a result, a fingerprint that could originally be accurately recognized and matched may not be able to be clearly captured by the sensing element due to dust covering the collection area. This would cause the smart lock body to fail to recognize fingerprints and prompt fingerprint errors, causing great inconvenience to users in daily unlocking. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a conveniently rechargeable smart lock, including a smart lock body 1. The surface of the smart lock body 1 is provided with a battery replacement device 2. By setting the battery replacement device 2, the battery replacement of the smart lock body 1 is made more convenient, avoiding the traditional operation process of finding the battery location, opening the cover, replacing the battery, and closing the cover when replacing the battery. During the up-and-down sliding operation of opening or closing the cover, the cover can easily exert slight pressure on the battery, causing the battery to shift its position within the battery compartment 201. This prevents the battery from making proper contact with the metal contacts within the battery compartment 201, resulting in poor contact. The unstable power supply to the smart lock body 1 can cause this issue. The surface of the smart lock body 1 is equipped with a protective device 3. By setting up the protective device 3, the fingerprint unlocking of the smart lock body 1 is protected. This prevents dust in the air from entering the fingerprint collection area of the smart lock body 1 when the user is not using fingerprint unlocking, which would affect the sensitivity and accuracy of fingerprint recognition. As a result, a fingerprint that could normally be accurately recognized may not be able to be clearly captured by the sensing element due to dust covering the collection area. This can cause the smart lock body 1 to fail to recognize fingerprints and prompt fingerprint errors, causing great inconvenience to users in their daily unlocking.
[0030] The specific setup and function of the replacement device 2 and the protective device 3 will be explained below.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in this embodiment: the replacement device 2 includes a battery compartment 201, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the smart lock body 1. A long rod 202 is fixedly connected to the surface of the battery compartment 201. A digital screen 203 is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the long rod 202. A limiting groove is formed on the surface of the digital screen 203. A sliding groove is formed on the surface of the battery compartment 201. A telescopic rod 204 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove of the battery compartment 201. A patch plate 212 is fixedly connected to the surface of the telescopic rod 204. A pull-out rod 205 is fixedly connected to the surface of the patch plate 212. The pull-out rod 205 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove of the digital screen 203. A moving groove is formed on the surface of the battery compartment 201. A round rod 206 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving groove of the battery compartment 201. A rotating plate 20733 is fixedly connected to the surface of the round rod 206. A screw 208 is threaded into the rotating plate 20733. A threaded groove is formed on the surface of the digital screen 203. When the user opens the digital screen 203 to replace the battery, the opened digital screen 203 will first rotate on the arc surface of the long rod 202. When it rotates to the corresponding position, the screw 208 is rotated downwards into the threaded groove of the digital screen 203 to fix the opened digital screen 203. This helps the user keep the battery screen in a stable state when replacing the battery, providing the user with a safe, convenient and reliable operating environment. The inner surface of the battery compartment 201 is fixedly connected to the middle rod 209, and the arc surface of the middle rod 209 is rotatably connected to the collecting plate 210. When users need to remove the used batteries, they simply pull up the collection plate 210. The collection plate 210 rotates on the arc surface of the central rod 209, allowing the battery placed on the inner surface of the battery compartment 201 to be removed and placed on the surface of the collection plate 210. This helps users conveniently and quickly remove the used batteries from the battery compartment 201, significantly improving the efficiency of battery replacement and reducing operation time. An adsorption pad 211 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the battery compartment 201. The size of the pull-out rod 205 matches the size of the limiting groove of the digital screen 203. The adsorption pad 211 is made of polypropylene, possessing a certain degree of elasticity and corrosion resistance. It can be bent and fitted according to different internal shapes of the smart lock's battery compartment 201 and can withstand the erosion of chemical substances in battery corrosive liquids, making it less prone to decomposition or deterioration.
[0032] Reference Figure 6As shown, specifically, the protective device 3 includes two elliptical plates 31, both of which are fixedly connected to the surface of the smart lock body 1. A setting rod 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the two elliptical plates 31 that is close to each other. A rotating plate 33 is rotatably connected to the arc surface of the setting rod 32. Two torsion springs 34 are sleeved on the arc surface of the setting rod 32. The two ends of the torsion springs 34 are fixedly connected to the elliptical plate 31 and the rotating plate 33 respectively. When a user needs to unlock the device with their fingerprint, they simply pull the rotating plate 33 upwards. The rotating plate 33 rotates on the arc surface of the setting rod 32. After the user finishes using the device, the torque of the torsion spring 34 causes the rotating plate 33 to slowly and automatically rotate downwards to reset. This prevents the rotating plate 33 from rapidly falling back on the arc surface of the setting rod 32, which could cause the rotating plate 33 to collide with the scanning area of the smart lock body 1 and damage the smart lock body 1. The rotating plate 33 has two threaded grooves on its surface. A threaded rod 35 is inserted into the inner thread of the elliptical plate 31. A handle 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 35. The threaded rod 35 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove of the rotating plate 33. When the user needs to clean the fingerprint collection area, rotate the rotating plate 33 to ninety degrees, and then turn the handle 36 forward. The handle 36 drives the threaded rod 35 forward, so that the threaded rod 35 enters the threaded groove of the rotating plate 33, thus fixing the rotating plate 33. The threaded rod 35 has a self-locking property. Through the tight fit between the threaded rod 35 and the threaded groove, the rotating plate 33 is fixed in the required position, ensuring that it will not rotate or shake randomly when the user cleans the fingerprint unlocking area.
[0033] Working principle: When the user opens the digital screen 203 to replace the battery, the opened digital screen 203 will first rotate on the arc surface of the long rod 202. When it rotates to the corresponding position, the screw 208 will be rotated downwards into the threaded groove of the digital screen 203 to fix the opened digital screen 203. When the user needs to take out the used battery, he / she only needs to pull the collection plate 210 upwards. The collection plate 210 will rotate on the arc surface of the middle rod 209, and then the battery placed on the inner surface of the battery compartment 201 will be taken out and placed on the surface of the collection plate 210.
[0034] When a user needs to unlock the device with their fingerprint, they simply pull the rotating plate 33 upwards. The rotating plate 33 rotates on the arc surface of the setting rod 32. After the user finishes using the device, the torque of the torsion spring 34 causes the rotating plate 33 to slowly and automatically rotate downwards to reset. When the user needs to clean the fingerprint collection area, they turn the rotating plate 33 to ninety degrees and then turn the handle 36 forward. The handle 36 moves the threaded rod 35 forward, causing the threaded rod 35 to enter the threaded groove of the rotating plate 33, thus fixing the rotating plate 33 in place.
