TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of lock devices, and particularly relates to a novel intelligent internet-of-things padlock. BACKGROUND
[0002] The padlock is a typical lock structure, and other types of locks are derived from the padlock. Whether the padlock is a traditional padlock opened by a physical key or a password lock or an electronic lock without a physical key, the padlock still has a relatively traditional locking structure. In the unlocked state, the locking end of the hook is separated from the lower lock shell, and the other end of the rotating end is still connected with the lock shell. In the locked state, the locking end enters the lock shell, and a lock tongue is inserted into the lock slot of the locking end to achieve the locking.
