Preferably, a thread is provided at the end of the limiting member 160 and a second nut 161 is screwed on to compress the range of motion of the emergency lever 140 in a first direction (the first direction is perpendicular to the mounting plate 110 and parallel to the limiting member 160), ensuring that the emergency lever 140 can accurately trigger the emergency unlocking lever 132. As will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments, the limiting member 160 may also be a bolt. Specifically, holes may be pre-drilled in the mounting plate 110, and the bolt may be passed through the holes in the mounting plate 110 and the limiting hole 143 of the emergency lever 140 in sequence, and the emergency lever 140 may be fixed to the bolt using the second nut 161.
[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the emergency lever 140 is provided with a widened section 144, the width of which is greater than the width of other parts of the emergency lever 140. The limiting hole 143 is at least partially located in the widened section 144. The widened section 144 not only improves the strength of the emergency lever 140 but also provides ample space for the limiting hole 143, allowing it to be designed to a sufficient length to meet its functional requirements. Optionally, a bend is provided at the end of the widened section 144 to further enhance the structural strength of the emergency lever 140.
[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the emergency unlocking lever 132 is located on the lower side of the electronic lock 130. Correspondingly, the emergency lever 140 is positioned below the electronic lock 130, with the pivot 120 relatively closer to the operating end 141 of the emergency lever 140 and further away from the trigger end 142. This arrangement allows the emergency lever 140 to remain in its second position under the influence of gravity, ensuring that the emergency unlocking lever 132 of the electronic lock 130 is not accidentally triggered. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments, the emergency unlocking lever 132 can also be located on the upper side of the electronic lock 130. Correspondingly, the emergency lever 140 is positioned above the electronic lock 130, with the pivot 120 relatively closer to the trigger end 142 of the emergency lever 140 and further away from the operating end 141. This arrangement also allows the emergency lever 140 to remain in its second position under the influence of gravity, ensuring that the emergency unlocking lever 132 of the electronic lock 130 is not accidentally triggered.
[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least some edges of the mounting plate 110 are provided with bends, for example, bends can be provided at the upper edge, lower edge and front edge of the mounting plate 110 to improve the structural strength of the mounting plate 110. In order to ensure that the latch 131 of the electric lock 130 is not affected by the bends, a clearance hole 111 is provided at the bend of the front edge of the mounting plate 110, and the clearance hole 111 provides a channel for the latch 131 to pass through the bend.
