Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of structural technology of semi-automatic smart locks, specifically to a battery-powered semi-automatic electronic lock structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most semi-automatic smart locks on the market have an internal dry battery structure, an external integrated control system, and an internal power supply system. During installation, the internal and external panels are connected via a plug-in power cord. However, feedback from the application market indicates that installation, cord retraction, and reliability issues frequently arise.

[0003] The current semi-automatic smart lock installation structure has an outer panel 11 placed outdoors and an inner panel 12 placed indoors. Unlocking is achieved via square steel bars 16 fixed to the inner and outer handles. The inner and outer panels are connected by connecting pipes 13 and screws 14. The inner panel 12 supplies power to the outer panel 11 via a power cord 15, ensuring the normal operation of the control system (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown).

[0004] Its working principle: Dry cell batteries are installed in the dry cell battery compartment 111. Electrical energy is transferred to the inner panel power adapter board 110 through the battery compartment connection 112, and then transferred from the inner panel 12 to the outer panel main control board 113 through the power cable 15. The main control board controls the door lock switch, lights, sound, and wireless signals according to the program signals to ensure the door lock works normally. Any poor contact in energy transmission will cause abnormal operation (e.g., Figure 2 (As shown).

[0005] Therefore, this structure makes it difficult to run the power cord when installing on thicker doors. The cord is routed diagonally through the cable passage area 18, and improperly managed excess cord can easily rub against the lock body's movement points 19, leading to damage over time. The plug-in / plug-out mechanism can also loosen, causing poor contact in the power socket 15 and affecting the normal operation of the smart lock (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown).

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a battery-powered semi-automatic electronic lock structure that is suitable for mass production, has a greater cost advantage, is easier to install, and is more reliable. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a battery-front semi-automatic electronic lock structure that is suitable for mass production, has a greater cost advantage, is more convenient to install, and has higher reliability.

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a battery-front semi-automatic electronic lock structure, including a detachable and connected inner panel and an outer panel, wherein an outer clutch module, an outer panel main control board electrically connected to the outer clutch module and used to control the outer clutch module, and a battery compartment for supplying power to the outer panel main control board are provided on the side of the outer panel near the inner panel.

[0009] The outer panel is provided with a battery compartment locking module on the side near the inner panel for detachably mounting the battery compartment onto the outer panel.

[0010] An emergency module is installed on the side of the outer panel closest to the inner panel.

[0011] The inner panel is equipped with a manual handle quick-opening module on the side near the outer panel.

[0012] The inner panel is equipped with a manual deadbolt module on the side closest to the outer panel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This application places the battery and main control on the outer panel, eliminating the connection between the inner and outer panels, greatly reducing abnormalities caused by power supply, improving the stability and reliability of the smart lock, improving the convenience of smart lock installation, making it suitable for mass production, more cost-effective, and more convenient to install.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the directional concepts of "left", "right", "up", "down", "front", "back", "inner", and "outer" in the following scheme are all relative directions, and will not be listed one by one here.

[0021] The installation structure of the existing semi-automatic smart lock is referenced. Figures 1-3 The main outer panel 11 is placed outdoors, and the inner panel 12 is placed indoors. It is unlocked by square steel 16 fixed to the inner and outer handles. The inner and outer panels are installed and fixed by connecting pipe 13 and screw 14. The inner panel 12 supplies power to the outer panel 11 through power cable 15 to ensure the normal operation of the control system.

[0022] Its working principle is as follows: dry batteries are installed in the dry battery box 111. Electrical energy is transmitted to the inner panel power adapter board 110 through the battery box connection 112, and then transmitted from the inner panel 12 to the outer panel main control board 113 through the power cord 15. The main control board controls the door lock switch, lights, sound and wireless signals according to the program signal to ensure that the door lock works normally. Any poor contact in energy transmission will cause abnormal operation.

[0023] Therefore, when installing this type of structure on thicker doors, it is troublesome to run the power cord. The power cord is passed diagonally through the power cord passage area 18. If the excess power cord is not properly organized, it is easy to rub against the lock body's moving interference point 19. Over time, it is easy to cause damage. The plug-in structure is easy to loosen, resulting in poor contact of the power socket 15, which affects the normal use of the smart lock.

[0024] Compared to an improved battery-powered semi-automatic electronic lock structure based on existing technology, see reference. Figure 4The system includes a detachably connected outer panel 11 and an inner panel 12. A manual handle quick-open module 22 and a manual deadbolt module 26 are located on the inner panel 12 near the outer panel 11. An external clutch module 21 and an external panel main control board 113 electrically connected to and controlling the external clutch module 21 are located on the side of the outer panel 11 near the inner panel 12. A battery compartment 23 is detachably mounted on the side of the outer panel 11 near the inner panel 12 via a battery compartment locking module 24, used to supply power to the external panel main control board 113. An emergency module 25 for emergency use is also located on the side of the outer panel 11 near the inner panel 12. The emergency module 25 is electrically connected to the external panel main control board 113, is rechargeable, and can supply power to the external panel main control board 113 when the battery compartment 23 is not functional. When a lithium battery is used as the power source, the battery compartment 23 has a closed structure; when a dry cell battery is used as the power source, the battery compartment 23 has a drawer-type structure. After unlocking the battery compartment locking module 24, the battery compartment 23 can be pulled down to replace the battery. Once locked, the battery compartment 23 cannot be removed.

[0025] The power supply inside the battery compartment 23 is connected to the main control board 113 on the outer panel for power supply. The main control board 113 on the outer panel is connected to each control unit for power supply. When the main control board 113 on the outer panel receives the correct door opening command, it drives the motor inside the external clutch module 21 to work, so that the clutch changes from a free state to a fixed state. Turning the handle on the outer panel 11 can unlock the door. After the program-controlled unlocking time ends, the motor inside the external clutch module 21 returns to its original position, the clutch square steel connecting shaft becomes free, the square steel becomes ineffective, and the door lock is locked. The indoor handle is not electronically linked to the outer panel, and the manual handle quick-opening module 22 is in a normally open state, so the indoor handle can be quickly unlocked at any time.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the concept described herein through the above description or the technology or knowledge in related fields. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be protected within the scope of the appended claims.
