Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a smart lock with a protective structure, comprising: a mounting door 1; a smart lock body 2 mounted on the mounting door 1; an operation panel 19 disposed on one side of the smart lock body 2, and a protective plate 3 slidably disposed on one side of the smart lock body 2 to cooperate with the operation panel 19; a mechanical lock 10 disposed inside the smart lock body 2, and a maintenance groove 9 opened on one side of the smart lock body 2; a protective flip cover 11 rotatably disposed inside the maintenance groove 9 via a pivot, a limiting slide plate 18 slidably disposed inside the protective flip cover 11, a locking block 12 fixedly connected to the top of the limiting slide plate 18, and an inclined surface 16 opened on one side of the locking block 12; and a slot 17 opened inside the maintenance groove 9, the slot 17 cooperating with the locking block 12.

[0027] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when operating the control panel 19, the manual touch-sensitive switch 8 drives the adjusting screw 5 to rotate via the output of the motor 6. When the adjusting screw 5 rotates, it drives the outer sliding block 4 to move within the smart lock body 2. The sliding block 4 drives the protective plate 3 to slide downward on one side of the smart lock body 2 for adjustment. The smart lock body 2 is controlled via the control panel 19. After the smart lock body 2 is opened, the output of the motor 6 drives the adjusting screw 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the protective plate 3 slides upward to re-protect the control panel 19. When the mechanical lock 10 needs to be used, the pull plate 13 is pressed down. The pull plate 13 drives the limiting slide plate 18 and the locking block 12 to move downward. The limiting slide plate 18 presses the spring 15, and the locking block 12 moves away from the limiting fixation between itself and the locking slot 17. The protective cover 11 can be opened to use the mechanical lock 10. When the pull plate 13 is released, the spring 15 will return to its original position and drive the limiting slide plate 18 and the locking block 12 to return to their original positions. When the protective cover 11 is closed again, it covers the maintenance groove 9. When the inclined surface 16 on one side of the locking block 12 touches the maintenance groove 9, the inclined surface 16, the locking block 12 and the limiting slide plate 18 move downward and press the spring 15. The limiting slide plate 18 slides to the outside of the limiting rod 14. When the locking block 12 reaches the lower position of the slot 17, the spring 15 will return to its original position and drive the limiting slide plate 18 and the locking block 12 to return to their original positions. The locking block 12 and the slot 17 are fixed in a limited position, which can limit the rotation position of the protective cover 11 and protect the mechanical lock 10.

[0028] The smart lock body 2 includes: a fingerprint sensor (semiconductor / optical), a camera (face / palm vein recognition), a keypad (physical / touchscreen), and a card reader (NFC / CPU card); power and lock body: a motor (drives the bolt extension and retraction), a lock body (automatic / manual deadbolt), and a clutch (connects the inner and outer handles); a main control chip (processes data and sends commands); sensors, an anti-pry alarm (vibration trigger), and a door-open reminder (magnetic / infrared detection); emergency design: a mechanical keyhole and a Type-C power port; a screen (displays time / battery level / operation prompts), voice broadcast (Chinese / English navigation), and indicator lights (red / green / blue to indicate status); a Wi-Fi / Bluetooth module (remote management / temporary password), and a gateway (relay to enhance the signal); a lithium battery and a dry cell battery compartment.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a movable slider 4 is symmetrically fixed to one side of the protective plate 3. The movable slider 4 is slidably connected to the smart lock body 2. One of the movable sliders 4 is internally threaded with an adjusting screw 5. The adjusting screw 5 is rotatably connected to the smart lock body 2. The other movable slider 4 is internally slidably provided with a limit slide rod 7. The limit slide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the smart lock body 2.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the adjusting screw 5 rotates, it drives the outer movable slider 4 to slide. The movable slider 4 slides inside the smart lock body 2, and the movable slider 4 drives the protective plate 3 to slide on one side of the smart lock body 2. The protective plate 3 provides protection for the operation panel 19.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a limiting rod 14 is symmetrically slidably arranged inside the limiting slide plate 18. The limiting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the protective flip cover 11. A spring 15 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the limiting slide plate 18. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the protective flip cover 11, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the pull plate 13.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the limiting slide plate 18 slides on the outside of the limiting rod 14, and the moving position of the limiting slide plate 18 and the locking block 12 is reset by the spring 15.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a pull plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting slide plate 18, and the pull plate 13 is slidably connected to the protective flip cover 11.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the limiting slide plate 18 is pulled by the pull plate 13, which pulls the limiting slide plate 18 and the locking block 12 to move downward, and the locking block 12 is disengaged from the locking groove 17, thus completing the flipping process of the protective flip cover 11.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a motor 6 is installed inside the smart lock body 2, and the output end of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 5.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the output end of the motor 6 drives the adjusting screw 5 to rotate, thereby moving and adjusting the sliding block 4 on the outside of the adjusting screw 5.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sensor switch 8 is installed on the top of the smart lock body 2.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the position of the movable slider 4 and the protective plate 3 is adjusted by manually touching the sensor switch 8 and driving the adjusting screw 5 to rotate through the output end of the motor 6.
