Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fingerprint lock, and more particularly to a fingerprint lock that includes a lock body and a finger cleaning unit. Before fingerprint recognition, users can clean their fingers through the finger cleaning unit, thereby improving the fingerprint recognition rate. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, a fingerprint lock is a smart lock that uses human fingerprints for identification. It uses fingerprint recognition technology to determine whether the person unlocking the lock is the owner of the fingerprint. A fingerprint lock is a smart lock that combines computer information technology, electronic technology, mechanical technology, and modern hardware craftsmanship. It verifies the user's identity by recognizing the uniqueness of the fingerprint, thus achieving secure unlocking. The working principle of a fingerprint lock is to utilize the uniqueness of fingerprints by recording fingerprint information into the lock's chip. When a user inputs their fingerprint, the system compares it with pre-stored fingerprint features; if a match is found, the lock unlocks. Its main features are as follows: High security: Each person's fingerprint is unique and cannot be copied, therefore fingerprint locks have high security. Convenience and speed: No need to carry keys; users can quickly unlock the lock simply by using their fingerprint. Environmentally friendly and energy-saving: It avoids the risk of losing or copying traditional keys. Currently, fingerprint locks are widely used in homes, offices, hotels, and other places, improving both security and convenience.

[0003] When opening a fingerprint lock, a person needs to press their finger on the fingerprint reader. However, in practice, dirt on the finger often affects fingerprint recognition, causing the lock to remain locked even after multiple presses. This situation is common and seriously affects users' experience, especially during the rainy season when rainwater easily adheres to the finger, severely hindering the opening of the fingerprint lock. This is a major drawback of traditional fingerprint locks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a fingerprint lock, which includes a lock body and a finger cleaning unit, wherein the finger cleaning unit is disposed on the lock body, the lock body is provided with a fingerprint reader, the lock body has a front side, a back side, and an outer side, wherein the outer side connects the front side and the back side, the fingerprint reader is disposed on the front side, an annular groove is formed on the outer side, the finger cleaning unit is disposed in the annular groove, and the finger cleaning unit is arranged around the lock body.

[0005] The finger cleaning unit includes a left cleaning portion, a right cleaning portion, and a connector. The connector is connected between the left cleaning portion and the right cleaning portion. The left cleaning portion is located on the left side of the lock body, and the right cleaning portion is located on the right side of the lock body. Both the left and right cleaning portions have cleaning surfaces that are exposed on the outer side of the lock body.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model additionally provides a finger cleaning unit on the lock body. Users can clean their fingers using this unit before fingerprint recognition, thereby improving the fingerprint recognition rate and making it more convenient for users. Furthermore, by directly mounting the finger cleaning unit on the lock body, users can easily clean their fingers directly using this unit. When using the fingerprint lock for fingerprint recognition, the user stands in front of the lock and typically uses a finger from their right hand. The left and right cleaning parts of this utility model are located on the left and right sides of the lock body, respectively, allowing users to easily clean either finger. This design is ergonomic; cleaning is simply a matter of wiping the finger on the finger cleaning unit. Attached Figure Description

[0007] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention.

[0008] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the finger cleaning unit of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0009] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a fingerprint lock includes a lock body 100 and a finger cleaning unit 200, wherein the finger cleaning unit 200 is disposed on the lock body 100, and a fingerprint reader 110 is disposed on the lock body 100.

[0010] In practice, the lock body 100 is equipped with a password input device 120, and the lock body 100 is connected to a lock handle.

[0011] This invention provides an additional finger cleaning unit 200 to the lock body 100. Before fingerprint recognition, users can clean their fingers using the finger cleaning unit 200, thereby improving the fingerprint recognition rate and making it more convenient for users. In addition, this invention allows users to directly use the finger cleaning unit 200 to clean their fingers by directly setting the finger cleaning unit 200 on the lock body 100.

[0012] In specific implementation, the lock body 100 has a front lock body 111, a back lock body 112, and an outer lock body 113. The outer lock body 113 is connected between the front lock body 111 and the back lock body 112. The fingerprint reader 110 is disposed on the front lock body 111. An annular groove 114 is formed on the outer lock body 113. The finger cleaning unit 200 is disposed in the annular groove 114 and surrounds the lock body 100.

[0013] In practice, the finger cleaning unit 200 can be made of materials such as silicone, rubber, non-woven fabric, or cloth.

[0014] The finger cleaning unit 200 includes a left cleaning portion 210, a right cleaning portion 220, and a connector 230. The connector 230 connects the left cleaning portion 210 and the right cleaning portion 220. The left cleaning portion 210 is located on the left side of the lock body 100, and the right cleaning portion 220 is located on the right side of the lock body 100. Both the left cleaning portion 210 and the right cleaning portion 220 have a cleaning surface 240, which is exposed on the outside of the outer surface 113 of the lock body 100.

[0015] In practice, the cleaning surface 240 of the left cleaning portion 210 is the thumb cleaning surface, and the cleaning surface 240 of the right cleaning portion 220 is the four-finger cleaning surface.

[0016] When using this fingerprint lock for fingerprint recognition, the user stands in front of the fingerprint lock and generally uses the right finger for fingerprint recognition. The left cleaning part 210 and the right cleaning part 220 of this utility model are located on the left and right sides of the lock body 100, respectively, which allows the user to easily clean any finger. It is ergonomic. When cleaning, the user only needs to wipe the finger on the finger cleaning unit 200 to complete the cleaning action.
