If some additional functions or new technologies are added, the working time will be even shorter. In the prior art, a photovoltaic panel is installed on the door lock for power supply. This solar-powered intelligent door lock is suitable for houses with yards. However, due to long-term light exposure, even if the battery is fully charged, the photovoltaic panel will continue to supply power to the battery, causing the battery to be overcharged and reducing the service life of the battery. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] In order to prevent battery overcharging, the present application provides a self-powered intelligent door lock.

[0005] The self-powered intelligent door lock provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the photovoltaic panel can effectively convert light energy into electrical energy, and the controller can match the voltage of the obtained electrical energy, so that the electrical energy can be stored by the energy storage battery. The light-transmitting panel allows light to pass through and can protect the photovoltaic panel to a certain extent. The light-shielding plate shields the photovoltaic panel. When the energy storage battery is fully charged, the light-shielding plate can prevent the photovoltaic panel from receiving light to prevent battery overcharging and prolong the service life of the battery.

Under the same light conditions, the photovoltaic panel can generate more electric energy, thereby improving the power generation efficiency.

[0014] Optionally, the inner wall of the light-shielding plate is provided with a containing cavity for placing the light-transmitting panel.

[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, when the light shielding plate is drawn out and covers the light-transmitting panel, the abutting block is inserted into the groove, so that the abutting block does not contact the outer wall of the lock body to lift the light shielding plate, thereby ensuring the light shielding effect of the light shielding plate.

[0020] Optionally, the bottom wall of the accommodating groove forms an angle of 10-30 degrees with the surface of the lock body.

[0021] By adopting the technical scheme, the accommodating groove can be obliquely arranged in the lock body, so that a light shielding plate with a longer length can be accommodated in the accommodating groove, and the obliquely arranged accommodating groove can better guide the light shielding plate into the accommodating groove when the light shielding operation is performed, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0022] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. By arranging the photovoltaic power generation assembly, the door lock can generate electricity through the photovoltaic panel when it is irradiated by light, thereby reducing the frequency of replacing the battery, prolonging the working time of the intelligent door lock, and improving the user experience.

[0024] 2. By arranging the light shielding plate and the accommodating groove, when the battery has sufficient power, the light shielding plate is drawn out from the accommodating groove and covers the surface of the light-transmitting panel, at this time, the photovoltaic panel can be prevented from generating electricity, thereby preventing the battery from overcharging and prolonging the service life of the battery.

[0030] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a self-powered intelligent door lock. Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the self-powered intelligent door lock comprises a lock body 1 and a photovoltaic power generation component 2 arranged in the lock body 1.

In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 23 is an MPPT controller 23, which can convert the voltage output by the photovoltaic panel 22 into a voltage suitable for the battery, thereby effectively improving the charging efficiency.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the lock body 1 is provided with a light-transmitting panel 11 opposite to the photovoltaic panel 22, the surface of the light-transmitting panel 11 is covered with a light-shielding plate 3, one end of the light-shielding plate 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 31, the surface of the lock body 1 is fixedly connected with a rotating seat 12, and the rotating seat 12 is provided with a rotating groove 121 for rotatingly connecting the rotating shaft 31. The light-transmitting panel 11 not only allows light to pass through, but also protects the photovoltaic panel 22. When the energy storage battery 21 has sufficient electric quantity, the light-shielding plate 3 can cover the surface of the light-transmitting panel 11 to prevent the photovoltaic panel 22 from receiving light, thereby preventing the battery from overcharging and prolonging the service life of the battery. The rotating groove 121 cooperates with the rotating shaft 31, so that the light-shielding plate 3 can rotate around the rotating shaft 31, thereby rotating to open or close the light-shielding plate 3 according to actual conditions, flexibly adjusting the light receiving of the photovoltaic panel 22, and improving the flexibility of use.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the rotating seat 12 is provided with two rotating seats and is located on both sides of the top of the light-transmitting panel 11. Since the rotating seat 12 is arranged above the light-transmitting panel 11, when it needs to be covered, the light-shielding plate 3 can be naturally rotated and fallen to completely cover the light-transmitting panel 11 by being slightly pushed, and the light-shielding plate 3 is not easy to rotate after falling, thereby improving the convenience and stability of use.

When the photovoltaic panel 22 needs to generate electricity, the sunshade plate 3 is rotated, one end of the sunshade plate 3 is aligned with the containing groove 13, and the sunshade plate 3 is pushed into the containing groove 13, so that the sunshade plate 3 can be stored, the sliding groove 131 is used for moving the rotating shaft 31, so that the sunshade plate 3 can move smoothly in the containing groove 13, the stroke groove 122 is used for connecting the rotating groove 121 and the sliding groove 131, so that the sunshade plate 3 can be stored and taken out from the containing groove 13, and the convenience of use is improved.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the bottom wall of the containing groove 13 and the outer wall of the lock body 1 form an included angle of °-°. The containing groove 13 can be obliquely arranged in the lock body 1, so that the sunshade plate 3 with a longer length can be stored in the containing groove 13. When the sunshade plate 3 is stored, the obliquely arranged containing groove 13 can better guide the sunshade plate 3 into the containing groove 13. Under the action of gravity, the sunshade plate 3 can automatically slide into the containing groove 13 along the sliding groove 131, and the convenience of use is improved.

[0037] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the sunshade plate 3 is provided with an abutting block 33 at an end away from the rotating shaft, and the abutting block 33 is arranged on the side close to the outer wall of the lock body 1.

When the sunshade plate 3 covers the photovoltaic panel 22, the abutting block 33 is inserted into the groove 14, so that the abutting block 33 is prevented from being in contact with the outer wall of the lock body 1 to lift the sunshade plate 3, the sunshade plate 3 is ensured to completely cover the photovoltaic panel 22, and the sunshade effect of the sunshade plate 3 is ensured.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3The light-transmitting panel 11 is a convex lens, and the light-blocking plate 3 is provided with a containing cavity 32 for placing the light-transmitting panel 11. The convex lens can improve the concentration of light energy, so that more light energy can be absorbed and utilized by the photovoltaic panel 22, so that the photovoltaic panel 22 can generate more electric energy under the same light condition, improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency, and thus improve the charging speed of the battery. The containing cavity 32 enables the light-transmitting panel 11 to be placed inside the light-blocking plate 3, so as to prevent the light-transmitting panel 11 from lifting the light-blocking plate 3, and ensure the light-blocking effect of the light-blocking plate 3.
