Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic door lock technology, and in particular to an electronic lock body structure with an luminous doorbell. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of smart home technology, electronic locks, as core devices for home security, have gradually replaced traditional mechanical locks and become the mainstream choice for modern residences and commercial spaces. Existing electronic lock products typically integrate functions such as fingerprint recognition, password input, and remote control, improving user convenience and security. However, in practical applications, the integration of electronic locks and doorbells still presents certain technical challenges. Currently, most electronic locks and doorbells on the market are independently installed modules. Doorbells require additional wiring or rely on battery power, increasing installation complexity, resulting in poor aesthetic coordination, and inconvenient maintenance. Furthermore, in dimly lit environments, visitors find it difficult to quickly locate the doorbell button, impacting the user experience.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, some manufacturers have attempted to integrate the doorbell into the outer lock body of the electronic lock to simplify the structure. However, existing integrated designs still suffer from the following drawbacks: doorbell buttons typically lack illumination, requiring external light sources or additional independent lighting modules for nighttime use, which not only increases costs but may also lead to structural redundancy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electronic lock body structure with self-illuminating capabilities to solve the problems of installation and maintenance difficulties caused by the separation of the doorbell from the lock body, inconvenience in low-light environments, and insufficient system energy efficiency in existing technologies.

[0004] This utility model is based on the above-mentioned circumstances. Utility Model Content

[0029] Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of the driven gear in this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 8 The electronic lock body structure shown includes an inner lock body 1 installed on the inside of the door, an outer lock body 2 installed on the outside of the door, and a locking pin structure 3 located between the inner lock body 1 and the outer lock body 2, which can drive the bolt to extend or retract when rotated. The inner lock body 1 has a knob 4 that can drive the locking pin structure 3 to rotate. The inner lock body 1 also has an electrically controlled unlocking mechanism 5 that can drive the locking pin structure 3 to rotate. The outer lock body 2 has a control mechanism that can control the electrically controlled unlocking mechanism 5 to unlock the bolt. The outer lock body 2 also has a doorbell button 6, which has a light source 61 that illuminates the doorbell button 6. The inner lock body 1 contains a circuit board 7 and a power supply 71.

[0032] This design integrates the illuminated doorbell button 6 into the outer surface of the electronic lock body. A built-in light source 61 enables the button to illuminate autonomously at night. Combined with a dual-mode unlocking system (electronic / mechanical knob), this simplifies wiring and installation while ensuring intelligent operation and emergency reliability. Through the integration of the doorbell-electronic lock power supply system, optimized structural space, and energy efficiency management, it effectively solves the problems of complex installation and maintenance, difficulty in low-light environments, and insufficient system stability inherent in traditional separate devices, achieving a unified approach of functional integration, user-friendly operation, and a simplified appearance.

[0033] Furthermore, the doorbell button 6 includes a connecting base 62, which has a placement slot 621 for placing a light source 61, and a light-transmitting cover 63 for covering the placement slot 621. The light-transmitting cover 63 can be connected to the connecting base 62 by means of threads, threaded fasteners, or snap-fit ​​connections, and the light source can be an LED lamp or other light-emitting body.

[0034] Furthermore, the outer lock body 2 is provided with a slot 21, and the connecting seat 62 is provided with a buckle 622 that engages with the slot 21. Of course, the connecting seat 62 can also be connected to the outer lock body 2 by threads or other connection methods.

[0035] In one embodiment, the electronically controlled unlocking mechanism 5 includes a rotating component 51 disposed on the knob 4 and capable of driving the knob 4 to rotate. The inner lock body 1 is also provided with a motor 52 capable of driving the rotating component 51 to rotate and an identification device capable of identifying the opening direction.

[0036] Specifically, the identification device includes a first optocoupler sensor 531, a Hall sensor 532, and a second optocoupler sensor 533 arranged sequentially along the circumference. The rotating member 51 is equipped with a sensing element 534 that rotates with the rotating member 51 and is adapted to sense the first and second optocoupler sensors 531 and 533. The rotating member 51 is also equipped with a magnet 535 that rotates with the rotating member 51 and is adapted to sense the Hall sensor 532. The motor 52, the first optocoupler sensor 531, the Hall sensor 532, and the second optocoupler sensor 533 are all electrically connected to the circuit board 7.

[0037] Through the coordinated detection of the first optocoupler sensor 531, the second optocoupler sensor 533, and the Hall sensor 532, combined with dual-modal signal recognition technology, the rotation direction of the knob is accurately determined. It automatically adapts to and memorizes the opening and closing direction of the door, eliminating the need to predict the installation direction and the need to replace the lock body during modification. A closed-loop control system is adopted to adjust the torque of the motor 52 and the stroke of the lock tongue in real time. The dual mechanism of phase difference detection and magnetic signal verification ensures accurate action, effectively preventing mechanical jamming and overload problems, and significantly improving the installation fault tolerance rate and operational reliability.

[0038] During use, in the initialization state, the smart lock program on circuit board 7 will automatically identify and judge the opening direction. If it is a right-opening door, when motor 52 turns left to drive knob 4 to control the bolt to open to the right, the output shaft of motor 52 will not turn, thereby increasing the torque of motor 52. At this time, Hall sensor 532 detects the armature current of motor 52 and feeds it back to the control program. After automatic recognition, it will automatically control motor 52 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the sensor 534 reaches the second optocoupler sensor 533, it will be determined as unlocking. Conversely, if it is a left-opening door, motor 52 turns left, and when the sensor 534 reaches the first optocoupler sensor 531, it will be determined as unlocking.

[0039] In one embodiment, the rotating component 51 includes a driving gear 511 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 52 and a driven gear 512 connected to the knob 4, wherein the driving gear 511 and the driven gear 512 mesh with each other. Further, a locking block 41 is provided inside the knob 4, and a turntable 42 is provided between the knob 4 and the driven gear 512. The turntable 42 has a locking groove 421 that engages with the locking block 41, and an arc-shaped limiting groove 422. The driven gear 512 has a limiting block 513 that can extend into the arc-shaped limiting groove 422. The driven gear 512, the limiting block 513, and the sensing element 534 are an integral structure, and the sensing element 534 is L-shaped.

[0040] In one embodiment, the control mechanism includes an electronic key device 81 that controls the operation of the electronic unlocking mechanism 5 to unlock the device. The electronic key device 81 is a conventional electronic key device 81 used on electronic locks, and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In one embodiment, the control mechanism further includes a fingerprint lock device 82 capable of controlling the operation of the electronic unlocking mechanism 5 to unlock the device. The fingerprint lock device 82 is a conventional fingerprint lock device 82 found on electronic locks, and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In one embodiment, the control mechanism further includes a face recognition device 83 capable of controlling the operation of the electronic unlocking mechanism 5 to unlock the device. The face recognition device 83 is a conventional face recognition device on an electronic lock, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In one embodiment, the inner lock body 1 is provided with a battery cover 10 for opening the battery compartment to replace the power supply 71.

[0044] In one embodiment, the inner lock body 1 and / or the outer lock body 2 are further provided with a USB charging port 9. The power supply 71 can be charged through the USB charging port 9.
