[0037] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0038] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.
[0039] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.
[0040] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0041] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.
[0042] Example 1
[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the battery compartment structure of this utility model for a hotel smart lock includes a shell 1, a battery box 2, a battery 3, and a power cord 4. The shell 1 is made of high-strength engineering plastic, and its bottom is provided with a first base plate 107. A first winding post 101 and a second winding post 102 are vertically fixed on the first base plate 107. The two winding posts are spaced apart along the length of the shell 1, and the first winding post 101 is closer to one edge of the shell 1 along its length than the second winding post 102. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The horizontal direction is the length direction of shell 1, and one edge of shell 1 along the length direction is... Figure 1 The upper side of the housing 1, that is, the side facing upwards after the housing 1 is installed on the door lock.
[0044] The battery box 2 is fixed to the housing 1 by a snap-fit mechanism. Specifically, the housing 1 has claws 103 on both sides of its width, and the battery box 2 has a corresponding locking part 201. The claws 103 and the locking part cooperate to achieve quick installation and removal of the battery box 2. The battery box 2 contains four AA batteries 3. The bottom of the battery box 2 is provided with a second base plate 202. The free ends of the first winding post 101 and the second winding post 102 abut against the second base plate 202 to prevent the power cord 4 from slipping off after winding. The side wall of the battery box 2 has a lead-out hole (not labeled). The power cord 4 is led out from this lead-out hole. One end of the power cord 4 is connected to the electrical contacts inside the battery box 2, and the other end is connected to a plug 401. The plug 401 is used to connect to the power supply interface of the smart lock.
[0045] Limiting structure:
[0046] The housing 1 has an upper plate 105 at one end along its length, and a limiting plate 104 protrudes in the middle. After installation, the battery box 2 is located between the upper plate 105 and the limiting plate 104, with a preset distance of 2mm between them. This design allows the battery box 2 to move slightly under external force, avoiding structural damage caused by rigid collisions.
[0047] Power cord winding method:
[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, after the power cord 4 emerges from the lead-out hole, it first wraps half a turn around the second winding post 102, then passes between the second winding post 102 and the first winding post 101, wraps around the first winding post 101 for a full turn, and finally attaches to the other side of the first winding post 101, exiting from the gap between the first base plate 107 and the battery box 2. Through this winding path, the redundant part of the power cord 4 is fixed on the winding post, preventing external force from being directly transmitted to the electrical contacts, thereby preventing the wire from breaking or falling off.
[0049] Wire-wound post structure:
[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, both the first winding post 101 and the second winding post 102 include a winding portion (where the first winding post 101 includes a first winding portion 1011, and the second winding post 102 includes a second winding portion 1021) and a limiting portion (the first winding post 101 includes a first limiting portion 1012, and the second winding post 102 includes a second limiting portion 1022). The outer diameter of the winding portion is 3mm, and the outer diameter of the limiting portion is 5mm, with the limiting portion located at the free end of the winding post. The outer diameter of the limiting portion is larger than that of the winding portion, preventing the power cord 4 from slipping off after winding. In addition, the outer circumferential surface of the winding post is provided with a textured surface (non-smooth surface) to further increase friction and ensure a secure connection of the power cord 4.
[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a silicone anti-slip sleeve 106 is fitted onto the outer peripheral surface of the winding post to increase friction.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the winding path of the power cord 4. After the power cord 4 is led out from the lead-out hole, it first passes through one side of the second winding post 102, wraps around the first winding post 101 completely, and then leads out from the other side of the second winding post 102. This method is suitable for scenarios where the installation space between the battery box 2 and the housing 1 is narrow, and the pulling force can still be effectively distributed by adjusting the winding path.
[0054] Of course, in some embodiments, the same technical effect can be achieved by using only one winding post.
[0055] In summary, the battery compartment structure of the hotel smart lock provided by this utility model significantly reduces the tensile force on the power cord 4 during maintenance through the path design of the winding post, the limiting part, and the anti-slip structure, solving the problem of easy breakage or detachment of the wire in the prior art. At the same time, the snap-fit method between the claw 103 and the locking part simplifies the disassembly and assembly process of the battery box 2, improving maintenance efficiency.
[0056] The above embodiments are merely examples. Those skilled in the art can adjust the number of winding posts, winding method, or material selection according to actual needs. All such modifications should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
[0057] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
