Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lock technology, and in particular to a lock and a smart door lock. Background Technology

[0002] Door locks are familiar household appliances and are essential for entering and exiting our homes. They require both security and reliability as well as aesthetic appeal. Typically, door locks are secured to the door with screws. However, since there is no concealment at the screw area, the screws are directly exposed on the lock surface, affecting the lock's appearance. Furthermore, installing and removing the screws is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a lock and a smart lock to address the problems of existing door locks having no shielding measures at the locking screws, resulting in an unsightly overall appearance of the door lock, and the cumbersome installation and removal of the locking screws.

[0004] A lock, the lock comprising:

[0005] The main body, wherein the main body is provided with screw holes for mounting locking screws; and

[0006] A toggle assembly is disposed on the main body. The toggle assembly includes a toggle and a toggle cap. The toggle is used to control the main body to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. The toggle cap is detachably connected to the toggle. When the toggle cap covers the toggle, the toggle cap can cover the screw hole.

[0007] The toggle switch has an operating hole that passes through the toggle switch. When the toggle switch controls the main body to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state, there is a position where the operating hole connects with the screw hole.

[0008] In one embodiment, the toggle switch is slidably disposed on the main body;

[0009] Specifically, when the toggle switch slides to the first position, it locks the main body; when the toggle switch slides to the second position, it unlocks the main body, and the operating hole communicates with the screw hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the toggle includes a toggle portion, and the toggle cap is connected to the toggle portion.

[0011] In one embodiment, the toggle assembly further includes a connector disposed on the outside of the toggle, the connector having a cutout hole communicating with the operating hole to expose the operating hole; the toggle cap is detachably connected to the connector.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connector engages with the toggle cap to connect the toggle cap to the toggle.

[0013] In one embodiment, the main body includes a fixing plate, a middle frame, a handle, and a limiting member. The fixing plate is used to connect to the door body, the middle frame is connected to the fixing plate by the locking screw, the handle is rotatably disposed on the middle frame, and the limiting member is disposed on the handle and is throttle-connected to the handle.

[0014] The middle frame is provided with a first sliding groove, and the toggle switch is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove;

[0015] The toggle switch is provided with a locking part. When the toggle switch slides to the first position, the locking part locks the limiting member; when the toggle switch slides to the second position, the locking part separates from the limiting member.

[0016] In one embodiment, one of the locking part and the limiting member includes two spaced-apart pins, and the other of the locking part and the limiting member has a limiting protrusion; when the toggle moves along the first slide groove to the first position, the two pins engage with the opposite sides of the limiting protrusion; when the toggle moves along the first slide groove to the second position, the two pins separate from the limiting protrusion.

[0017] In one embodiment, the middle frame is provided with a second sliding groove, which is connected to the first sliding groove, and the extension directions of the two are perpendicular to each other;

[0018] The lock also includes a retaining component, which is slidably disposed in the second slide groove. When the toggle switch slides to the first position and the second position, the retaining component abuts against the outer surface of the toggle switch to lock the toggle switch in the first position or the second position.

[0019] In one embodiment, the abutting component includes an elastic member and a reset block. One end of the elastic member abuts against the inner wall of the middle frame forming the second slide groove, and the other end is connected to the reset block. The elastic deformation direction of the elastic member is consistent with the extension direction of the second slide groove. The reset block is used to abut against the outer surface of the toggle switch.

[0020] A smart door lock, the smart door lock comprising:

[0021] The lock as described in any of the above technical solutions; and

[0022] A control module, which is electrically or electrically connected to the lock.

[0023] The aforementioned locks and smart door locks use locking screws screwed into screw holes to secure the main body to the door. A toggle cap is attached to the toggle switch, which covers the screw holes, preventing the locking screws from being directly exposed on the outer surface of the main body. This improves the aesthetics of the lock and enhances the user experience. The screw holes can be covered by the toggle switch assembly, eliminating the need for additional components and reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, when the main body switches between the locked and unlocked states to the position where the operating hole connects with the screw hole, the toggle cap can be removed from the toggle switch, allowing for the installation or removal of the locking screws through the operating hole. This makes the installation and removal of the locking screws convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0038] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0041] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0042] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides a lock 100, which includes a main body 110 and a toggle assembly 120. The main body 110 is provided with screw holes 111 for installing locking screws (not shown). When a locking screw is installed in the screw hole 111, the main body 110 can be locked to the door body by the locking screw. Preferably, there can be multiple screw holes 111, and multiple locking screws can improve the locking reliability of the main body 110 to the door body.

[0044] A toggle assembly 120 is disposed on the main body 110. The toggle assembly 120 includes a toggle 121 and a toggle cap 122. The toggle 121 is used to control the main body 110 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. For example, when the main body 110 is in the locked state, if the main body 110 is not switched to the unlocked state by using the toggle 121, the lock 100 is in a locked state, or the user cannot perform the unlocking operation of the main body 110, thus improving the security of the main body 110. Conversely, when the main body 110 is in the unlocked state, the lock 100 is in an unlocked state, or the user can perform the unlocking operation of the main body 110. For example, the toggle 121 can control the main body 110 to switch between the locked and unlocked states by pushing or flicking, and the toggle 121 can also control the main body 110 to switch between the locked and unlocked states by rotating. The toggle cap 122 is detachably connected to the toggle 121, and when the toggle cap 122 is covering the toggle 121, the toggle cap 122 can cover the screw hole 111. That is to say, when the toggle cap 122 is covering the toggle 121, the orthographic projection of the toggle cap 122 on the screw hole 111 is located outside the screw hole 111.

[0045] The toggle switch 121 has an operating hole 1211 that passes through it, meaning the toggle switch 121 has a hollow structure. When the main body 110 switches between the locked and unlocked states, there is a position where the operating hole 1211 connects with the screw hole 111. For example, when the main body 110 is switched to the locked state, the toggle switch 121 moves to a position where the operating hole 1211 and the screw hole 111 are coaxial and connected, allowing the user to install or remove the screw through the operating hole 1211; similarly, when the main body 110 is switched to the unlocked state, the toggle switch 121 moves to a position where the operating hole 1211 and the screw hole 111 are coaxial and connected, allowing the user to install or remove the screw through the operating hole 1211. Thus, by moving the toggle 121 on the main body 110, when the toggle 121 moves to the position where the operating hole 1211 and the screw hole 111 are coaxial and connected, the toggle cap 122 can be removed from the toggle 121, and the installation or removal of the locking screw can be performed through the operating hole 1211, so as to realize the installation or removal of the main body 110 on the door.

[0046] The aforementioned lock 100 uses a locking screw screwed into a screw hole 111 to secure the main body 110 to the door. A toggle cap 122 is connected to the toggle knob 121, which covers the screw hole 111, preventing the locking screw from being directly exposed on the outer surface of the main body 110. This improves the aesthetics of the lock 100 and enhances the user experience. The screw hole 111 can be covered by the toggle assembly 120, eliminating the need for other components (such as screw caps, cover panels, etc.) and reducing the manufacturing cost of the lock 100. Furthermore, when the main body 110 switches between the locked and unlocked states to the position where the operating hole 1211 connects to the screw hole 111, the toggle cap 122 can be removed from the toggle knob 121, allowing for the installation or removal of the locking screw through the operating hole 1211. This makes the installation and removal of the locking screw convenient.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-3 As shown, the toggle switch 121 is slidably mounted on the main body 110. When the toggle switch 121 slides to the first position, it locks the main body 110, preventing the user from unlocking it and improving security. When the toggle switch 121 slides to the second position, it unlocks the main body 110, allowing the user to unlock it. The operating hole 1211 is connected to the screw hole 111; that is, when the toggle switch 121 slides to the second position, removing the toggle switch cap 122 allows for the installation or removal of the locking screw through the operating hole 1211, making screw installation and removal convenient.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-3 As shown, the toggle 121 includes a toggle part 1212 and a toggle cap 122 connected to the toggle part 1212. Exemplarily, the toggle cap 122 is connected to the toggle part 1212 by snap-fit, plug-in, or other means. After the toggle cap 122 is connected to the toggle part 1212, it covers the screw hole 111, preventing the locking screw from being directly exposed on the outer surface of the main body 110, improving the aesthetics of the lock 100 and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the user can push, toggle, or turn the toggle part 1212 to drive the toggle 121 to move between a first position and a second position, switching the main body 110 between a locked and unlocked state. When the toggle part 1212 moves to the second position, the operating hole 1211 connects with the screw hole 111, allowing for the installation or removal of the locking screw through the operating hole 1211, making the installation and removal of the locking screw convenient.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figures 1-3As shown, the toggle assembly 120 also includes a connector 123, which is disposed on the outside of the toggle 121. The connector 123 has a perforated hole 1231 that communicates with the operating hole 1211 to expose the operating hole 1211, thus preventing interference from the connector 123 when installing or removing the screw in the operating hole 1211. Furthermore, a toggle cap 122 is detachably connected to the connector 123, indirectly connecting the toggle cap 122 to the toggle 121 via the connector 123. The toggle cap 122 covers the screw hole 111, preventing the screw from being directly exposed on the outer surface of the main body 110 and improving the aesthetics of the lock 100.

[0050] Further, see Figures 1-3 As shown, the connector 123 engages with the toggle cap 122, and the connector 123 is used to connect the toggle cap 122 to the toggle 121. If the connector 123 is sleeved on the outside of the toggle 121 and can engage with the toggle 121, the toggle cap 122 can be detachably connected to the toggle 121. For example, if the connector 123 is elastic, the elastic deformation of the connector 123 can be used to connect the toggle cap 122 to the toggle 121. The toggle cap 122 covers the screw hole 111, preventing the locking screw from being directly exposed on the outer surface of the lock body, improving the aesthetics of the lock 100, and allowing the toggle cap 122 to be removed from the toggle 121. The user can then perform the installation or removal of the locking screw through the operating hole 1211.

[0051] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, a hook may be provided on one of the toggle cap 122 and the connector 123, and a slot may be provided on the other. The toggle cap 122 may also be engaged with the toggle 121 by the engagement of the hook and the slot. This application does not limit the specific engagement method between the toggle cap 122 and the connector 123. Furthermore, when the toggle 121 and the connector 123 are made of the same material, the toggle 121 and the connector 123 can be an integral structure to simplify the molding process between the toggle 121 and the connector 123 and improve the connection strength between the toggle 121 and the connector 123.

[0052] In one embodiment, see further. Figures 4-7As shown, the main body 110 includes a fixing plate 112, a middle frame 113, a handle 114, and a limiting member 115. The fixing plate 112 is used to connect to the door body. For example, the fixing plate 112 is connected to the door body by locking screws 116 to lock the main body 110 to the door body. The middle frame 113 is connected to the fixing plate 112 by locking screws, restricting the movement of the main body 110 relative to the door body in a direction perpendicular to the door body mounting surface. For example, the fixing plate 112 has screw holes 111 for installing locking screws, and the locking screws are connected to the fixing plate 112 by screwing, thereby connecting the middle frame 113 to the fixing plate 112. The handle 114 is rotatably disposed on the middle frame 113. The handle 114 is connected to the latch, and the user can perform the extension and retraction operation of the latch through the handle 114, enabling the user to perform the unlocking and locking operations of the main body 110. The limiting member 115 is provided on the handle 114 and is connected to the handle 114 in a transmission manner. The limiting member 115 is used to lock the main body 110 in a locked state. At this time, the handle 114 cannot perform the unlocking operation of the main body 110.

[0053] Continue, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the middle frame 113 is provided with a first sliding groove 1131, and the toggle 121 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 1131. The toggle 121 is provided with a locking part 1213. When the toggle 121 slides to the first position, the locking part 1213 locks the limiting member 115; when the toggle 121 slides to the second position, the locking part 1213 separates from the limiting member 115. As in this embodiment, with Figure 1 Taking a perspective example, the first groove 1131 extends vertically along the paper surface, and the toggle 121 can move along the first groove 1131. Figure 1 Slide vertically. Specifically, when knob 121 is slid to the first position (e.g., ... Figure 7 When the first slide groove 1131 is slid to the upper side, the toggle knob 121 locks the limiting member 115. Since the limiting member 115 is located on the handle 114, the main body 110 is in a locked state at this time, and the handle 114 cannot perform the unlocking operation of the main body 110, thus improving the security of the main body 110. Conversely, when the toggle knob 121 slides to the second position (as shown on the upper side of the first slide groove 1131), the limiting member 115 is locked. Figure 7 When the first slide groove 1131 is located on one side of the lower end, the toggle switch 121 separates from the limit member 115. At this time, the main body 110 is in the unlocked state, and the user can perform the unlocking operation of the main body 110.

[0054] Further reading Figure 7As shown, one of the locking portion 1213 and the limiting member 115 includes two spaced-apart pins 130, and the other of the locking portion 1213 and the limiting member 115 has a limiting protrusion 140. That is, when the locking portion 1213 includes two spaced-apart pins 130, the limiting member 115 has a limiting protrusion 140; when the locking portion 1213 has a limiting protrusion 140, the limiting member 115 includes two spaced-apart pins 130. When the toggle switch 121 moves along the first slide groove 1131 to the first position, the two pins 130 engage with the opposite sides of the limiting protrusion 140 to lock the limiting member 115, preventing the limiting member 115 from moving freely under the force applied by the user. Since the limiting member 115 is located on the handle 114, the user cannot turn the handle 114 at this time, and the main body 110 is in a locked state, preventing the handle 114 from unlocking the main body 110. Conversely, when the toggle switch 121 moves along the first slide groove 1131 to the second position, the two pins 130 separate from the limiting protrusion 140. The limiting member 115 can move freely under the force applied by the user, and the main body 110 is in an unlocked state, allowing the user to unlock the main body 110.

[0055] Further reading Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the middle frame 113 is provided with a second sliding groove 1132, which is connected to the first sliding groove 1131, and the extending directions of the second sliding groove 1132 and the first sliding groove 1131 are perpendicular to each other. For example, using... Figure 9 Taking a perspective example, the first slide groove 1131 extends vertically along the paper surface, and the second slide groove 1132 extends horizontally along the paper surface. The lock 100 also includes a retaining component 150, which is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 1132. When the toggle switch 121 slides to the first position and the second position, the retaining component 150 abuts against the outer surface of the toggle switch 121 to lock the toggle switch 121 in the first position or the second position. For example, when the toggle 121 slides to the first position in the first groove 1131, the abutting component 150 abuts against the outer surface of the toggle 121 to lock the toggle 121 in the first position, and the two pins 130 are engaged with the opposite sides of the limiting protrusion 140 to lock the limiting member 115 and prevent the limiting member 115 from moving freely under the action of external force, so that the main body 110 is in a locked state; conversely, when the toggle 121 slides to the second position in the second groove 1132, the abutting component 150 abuts against the outer surface of the toggle 121 to lock the toggle 121 in the second position, the two pins 130 are separated from the limiting protrusion 140, and the limiting member 115 can move freely under the action of external force, so that the main body 110 is in an unlocked state.

[0056] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the supporting assembly 150 includes an elastic member 151 and a reset block 152. One end of the elastic member 151 abuts against the inner wall of the second slide groove 1132 formed on the middle frame 113, and the other end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the reset block 152. The elastic deformation direction of the elastic member 151 is consistent with the extension direction of the second slide groove 1132. The reset block 152 is used to abut against the outer surface of the toggle knob 121. In this embodiment, when the toggle switch 121 needs to move from the first position to the second position, the user applies the toggle switch 121 by pushing or flicking. Under the action of external force, the toggle switch 121 slides from the first position to the second position. During the sliding process of the toggle switch 121, the toggle switch 121 can apply force to the reset block 152. Since the reset block 152 is connected to the elastic member 151, the elastic member 151 is compressed to avoid the reset block 152 interfering with the movement of the toggle switch 121. When the toggle switch 121 moves to the second position, the elastic member 151 elastically resets and the reset block 152 abuts against the outer surface of the toggle switch 121 to lock the main body 110 in the unlocked state. Conversely, when the toggle switch 121 needs to move from the second position to the first position, the user applies force to the toggle switch 121 by pushing or flicking. Under the action of external force, the toggle switch 121 slides from the second position to the first position. During the sliding process of the toggle switch 121, the toggle switch 121 can apply force to the reset block 152. Since the reset block 152 is connected to the elastic member 151, the elastic member 151 is compressed to avoid the reset block 152 interfering with the movement of the toggle switch 121. When the toggle switch 121 moves to the first position, the elastic member 151 elastically resets and the reset block 152 abuts against the outer surface of the toggle switch 121 to lock the main body 110 in the locked state.

[0057] In this embodiment, see reference Figure 9 As shown, when the toggle switch 121 moves to the first position (as shown in the image), Figure 9 When the first slide groove 1131 is in the upper part (on one side), the reset block 152 engages with the inner wall of the first slide groove 1131 to clamp the toggle knob 121, thereby locking the toggle knob 121 in the first position. Similarly, when the toggle knob 121 moves to the second position (such as...), Figure 9 When the first slide groove 1131 is positioned at its lower end (as shown), the reset block 152 engages with the inner wall of the first slide groove 1131 to clamp the toggle knob 121, thereby locking the toggle knob 121 in the second position. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the elastic element 151 can be a reset spring. The elastic extension and contraction of the reset spring allows the toggle knob 121 to move within the first slide groove 1131 and lock the toggle knob 121 in either the first or second position of the first slide groove 1131. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the elastic element 151 can also be an elastic sheet or other elements capable of elastic deformation. This application does not limit the specific type of elastic element 151.

[0058] Further, see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the reset block 152 has a first arcuate profile 1521 on the side opposite to the elastic member 151, and the outer surface of the toggle 121 has a second arcuate profile 1214. When the reset block 152 abuts against the toggle 121, the first arcuate profile 1521 engages with the second arcuate profile 1214. When the reset block 152 abuts against the toggle 121, through the mutual engagement of the first arcuate profile 1521 and the second arcuate profile 1214, on the one hand, the reset block 152 can lock the toggle 121 in a first position or a second position to lock the main body 110 in a locked or unlocked state; on the other hand, when the toggle 121 needs to move between the first position and the second position, the user only needs to apply a small external force to the toggle 121, and the first arcuate profile 1521 can separate from the second arcuate profile 1214, that is, the main body 110 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state, improving the user experience.

[0059] Additionally, see Figures 1-3 As shown, this application also provides a smart door lock (not shown in the figure). The smart door lock includes a control module (not shown in the figure) and a lock 100 as described above. The control module is electrically connected or drive-connected to the lock 100. The control module can refer to the existing control module structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In the aforementioned smart door lock, the locking screw is screwed into the screw hole 111 to secure the smart door lock to the door body. A toggle cap 122 is connected to the toggle knob 121, which covers the screw hole 111, preventing the locking screw from being directly exposed on the outer surface of the main body 110. This improves the overall aesthetics of the smart door lock and enhances the user experience. The screw hole 111 can be covered simply by the toggle assembly 120, eliminating the need for additional components and reducing the manufacturing cost of the smart door lock. Furthermore, when the main body 110 switches between the locked and unlocked states to the position where the operating hole 1211 connects to the screw hole 111, the toggle cap 122 can be removed from the toggle knob 121, allowing for the installation or removal of the locking screw through the operating hole 1211. This makes the installation and removal of the locking screw convenient.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
