[0005] To improve the lifespan of the handle, this application provides an electronic smart lock.

[0006] This application provides an electronic smart lock, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electronic smart lock includes a lock body and a handle rotatably mounted on the lock body. A protective panel is slidably disposed on the lock body along a direction approaching or away from the lock body. A moving device is disposed on the lock body for controlling the movement of the protective panel. The moving device includes:

[0008] The movable block has a horizontal sliding groove on the lock body, and the movable block is slidably mounted on the sliding groove. The protective panel is disposed on the movable block.

[0009] A movable rack, wherein the movable rack is mounted on a movable block;

[0010] A movable gear, which is rotatably mounted on the lock body and meshes with a movable rack;

[0011] A control mechanism is mounted on the lock body and is used to control the rotation of the moving gear.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the control mechanism starts to control the rotation of the moving gear, which in turn drives the moving rack to move, which in turn drives the moving block to move, which in turn drives the protective panel to move. The protective panel moves to the outer wall of the handle, thereby shielding and protecting the handle body. This completes the protection of the handle in the external environment and improves the service life of the handle. At the same time, when the protective panel moves to contact the surface of the lock body, it can also protect the lock body and improve the service life of the lock body.

[0013] Optionally, the control mechanism includes:

[0014] A control shaft is rotatably mounted on the lock body and is connected to a moving gear;

[0015] A control motor is mounted on the lock body;

[0016] The first bevel gear is mounted on the output shaft of the control motor.

[0017] The second bevel gear is mounted on the control shaft and meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the control motor starts and drives the first bevel gear to rotate, the first bevel gear rotates and drives the second bevel gear to rotate, the second bevel gear rotates and drives the control shaft to rotate, and the control shaft rotates and drives the moving gear to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the moving gear by controlling the control motor.

[0019] Optionally, the lock body is provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning the movement position of the protective panel, the positioning mechanism comprising:

[0020] A positioning plate is mounted on a protective panel, and a first pressure sensor is mounted on the positioning plate.

[0021] The first controller is mounted on the lock body and is electrically connected to both the first pressure sensor and the control motor.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a positioning plate with a first pressure sensor is installed on the protective panel. After the protective panel moves to the handle position, the positioning plate contacts the handle. The first pressure sensor on the positioning plate is subjected to force and transmits the force signal to the first controller. The first controller controls the control motor to stop, thus fixing the position of the protective panel, thereby completing the automatic positioning function of the protective panel.

[0023] Optionally, the protective panel is vertically slidably mounted on a movable block, and the movable block is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the protective panel, the adjustment mechanism including:

[0024] An adjusting wheel is rotatably mounted on a movable block and abuts against a protective panel.

[0025] An adjusting motor is mounted on a movable block and its output shaft is connected to an adjusting wheel.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor starts and drives the adjusting wheel to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting wheel drives the protective panel to move, thereby removing the protective panel from the lock body, which facilitates maintenance or other operations on the lock body.

[0027] Optionally, the adjusting wheel is provided with a number of anti-slip patterns evenly distributed on it, and the protective panel is also provided with a number of anti-slip patterns evenly distributed on the side wall that contacts the adjusting wheel.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, several anti-slip patterns are evenly distributed on the adjusting wheel, and several anti-slip patterns are also evenly distributed on the side wall of the protective panel that contacts the adjusting wheel, thereby greatly increasing the friction between the adjusting wheel and the protective panel and ensuring the transmission operation between the adjusting wheel and the protective panel.

[0029] Optionally, the protective panel is made of transparent acrylic material, a second pressure sensor is provided on the protective panel, and a second controller is provided on the lock body. The second controller is electrically connected to the second pressure sensor, the adjusting motor and the control motor.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective panel is made of transparent acrylic material, allowing users to observe the inside of the lock body through the protective panel, which facilitates subsequent maintenance operations. A second pressure sensor is installed on the protective panel. When the second pressure sensor is subjected to force, the second controller will control the control motor and the adjustment motor to start, causing the protective panel to move away from the handle. This allows the user to open the protective panel and turn the handle simply by pressing the second pressure sensor, which is convenient and quick.

[0031] Optionally, the protective panel is provided in two pieces, which are located above and below the handle respectively. The two protective panels have slots on their adjacent ends, and the handle is located in the slots of the two protective panels. The outer walls of the two protective panels are flush with the outer walls of the handle.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, two protective panels are set up. The two protective panels cooperate from the top and bottom sides of the handle to protect the handle, thereby improving the protection effect of the handle.

[0033] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0034] 1. The control mechanism starts the rotation of the moving gear, which drives the moving rack to move, which in turn drives the moving block to move, which in turn drives the protective panel to move to the outer wall of the handle, thereby shielding and protecting the handle body. This completes the protection of the handle in the external environment and improves the service life of the handle.

[0035] 2. By controlling the motor to start, the first bevel gear is driven to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear drives the control shaft to rotate. The rotation of the control shaft drives the moving gear to rotate. Thus, the rotation of the moving gear is achieved by controlling the motor.

[0036] 3. By setting two protective panels, which work together from the top and bottom sides of the handle to protect it, the protection effect of the handle is improved. Attached Figure Description

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The moving device 2 includes a moving block 21, a moving rack 22, a moving gear 23, and a control mechanism 24. A horizontal sliding groove 14 is provided on the lock body 11, and the moving block 21 is slidably mounted on the sliding groove 14. The protective panel 13 is vertically slidably mounted on the end of the moving block 21 away from the lock body 11. The moving rack 22 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the moving block 21. The moving gear 23 is rotatably mounted on the lock body 11 and meshes with the moving rack 22. The control mechanism 24 is disposed on the lock body 11 and is used to control the rotation of the moving gear 23.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 The control mechanism 24 includes a control shaft 25, a control motor 26, a first bevel gear 27, and a second bevel gear 28.

The second bevel gear 28 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the control shaft 25. The control motor 26 is fixedly mounted on the lock body 11, and the first bevel gear 27 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the control motor 26 and meshes with the second bevel gear 28.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The movable block 21 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism 3 for adjusting the height of the protective panel 13. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes an adjustment wheel 31 and an adjustment motor 32. The adjustment wheel 31 is rotatably mounted on the outer side wall of the movable block 21 near the protective panel 13. The adjustment motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the movable block 21 and its output shaft is connected to the adjustment wheel 31. Several anti-slip patterns are provided on the wheel surface of the adjustment wheel 31 and on the side wall of the protective panel 13 that contacts the adjustment wheel 31.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 The protective panel 13 is made of transparent acrylic material, and a second pressure sensor 16 is fixedly installed on the protective panel 13. A second controller 17 is fixedly installed on the lock body 11, and the second controller 17 is electrically connected to the second pressure sensor 16, the adjusting motor 32, and the control motor 26.

[0047] Reference Figure 2When the handle 12 is not in use, the control motor 26 starts and drives the first bevel gear 27 to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 27 drives the second bevel gear 28 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 28 drives the control shaft 25 to rotate. The rotation of the control shaft 25 drives the moving gear 23 to rotate. The rotation of the moving gear 23 drives the moving rack 22 to move. The movement of the moving rack 22 drives the moving block 21 to move. The movement of the moving block 21 drives the protective panel 13 to move. The protective panel 13 moves to the outer wall of the handle 12 to shield and protect the main body of the handle 12, thereby completing the protection of the handle 12 in the external environment and improving the service life of the handle 12.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 When the handle 12 is needed, the user presses the second pressure sensor 16. After being pressed, the second pressure sensor 16 transmits a signal to the second controller 17. The second controller 17 controls the control motor 26 to start, which moves the protection panel 13 closer to the lock body 11. At the same time, the second controller 17 controls the adjustment motor 32 to start, which rotates the adjustment wheel 31. The rotation of the adjustment wheel 31 moves the protection panel 13, thereby removing the protection panel 13 from the handle 12, making it easier for the user to turn the handle 12 for use.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 After the protection panel 13 moves to the handle 12 position, the positioning plate 41 contacts the handle 12. The first pressure sensor 15 on the positioning plate 41 is subjected to force and transmits the force signal to the first controller 42. The first controller 42 controls the control motor 26 to stop rotating, thus fixing the position of the protection panel 13, thereby completing the automatic positioning function of the protection panel 13.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 Two protective panels 13 are provided, located above and below the handle 12 respectively. Each of the two protective panels 13 has a slot 18 on its closest end. The handle 12 is located in the slot 18 of the two protective panels 13, and the outer walls of the two protective panels 13 are flush with the outer walls of the handle 12.

[0052] The working principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0053] The control motor 26 starts and drives the protective panel 13 to move. The protective panel 13 moves to the outer wall of the handle 12 to shield and protect the handle 12 body, thus completing the protection of the handle 12 in the external environment and improving the service life of the handle 12. At the same time, when the protective panel 13 moves to contact the surface of the lock body 11, it can also protect the lock body 11, which also improves the service life of the lock body 11.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
