Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent lock panel with an installation and positioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of smart lock technology, the structural design of the smart lock panel has a crucial impact on the product's ease of installation, stability, and overall performance. Traditional smart lock panels have numerous structural flaws that urgently require improvement and innovation. For example, the structure disclosed in patent CN211524390U, "A Lock," which uses magnetic components to attach the panel and cover plate, while improving aesthetics and speeding up installation, suffers from a large magnetic material area that can easily affect lock functionality. Furthermore, the panel and cover plate are easily disassembled, resulting in compromised security.

[0003] In traditional smart lock panel construction, a base and a cover plate are typically joined together, with positioning pins on the base. Since the base is often die-cast or injection-molded, positioning errors are often significant. If the position of components on one side of the cover plate deviates, the base needs to be readjusted, undoubtedly increasing production difficulty and time costs. For example, in actual production, a 1-2mm deviation in the positioning pin position may prevent the panel from fitting tightly during assembly, affecting the smart lock's appearance and security performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a smart lock panel with an installation positioning structure, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where traditional smart lock panels are typically constructed by fastening a base and a cover plate together, with positioning posts set on the base. Since the base is often formed by die casting or injection molding, the positioning process often results in significant errors.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent lock panel with an installation positioning structure, including an inner panel and an outer panel. The inner panel and the outer panel are connected by a horizontal positioning post. Both the inner panel and the outer panel are provided with vertical strip-shaped holes that cooperate with the positioning post. The positioning post includes an upper positioning post and a lower positioning post. The two ends of the upper positioning post and the lower positioning post can be adjusted up and down along the strip-shaped holes.

[0006] This design connects the inner and outer panels via horizontal upper and lower positioning posts. Utilizing the vertical slots on the inner and outer panels and their cooperation with the positioning posts, based on a sliding connection principle, the positions of the positioning posts can be adjusted vertically along the slots. This design breaks away from traditional fixed connections, providing adjustable space for panel installation.

[0007] Preferably, the inner panel includes an inner shell, and an inner cover plate is installed on the outer side of the inner shell; the outer panel includes an outer shell, and an outer cover plate is installed on the outer side of the outer shell.

[0008] This design breaks down the inner panel into an inner shell and an inner cover, and the outer panel into an outer shell and an outer cover, employing a modular design principle to facilitate the processing, assembly, and maintenance of components. Different components have clearly defined functions: the inner and outer shells provide structural support, while the inner and outer covers serve protective and decorative purposes.

[0009] Preferably, a first upper guide hole is provided at one end of the inner cover plate near the upper positioning post, and a first lower guide hole is provided at one end of the inner cover plate near the lower positioning post. One end of the upper positioning post is slidably engaged with the first upper guide hole, and one end of the lower positioning post is slidably engaged with the first lower guide hole. An integrated positioning groove is installed on the back of the first upper guide hole, and the end of the upper positioning post is located in the integrated positioning groove.

[0010] The first upper guide hole and the first lower guide hole on the inner cover plate are slidably engaged with the upper and lower positioning posts to guide the movement of the positioning posts and ensure the accuracy of the movement. The integrated positioning groove on the back of the first upper guide hole limits the end of the positioning post and prevents the positioning post from shifting or coming out during the movement based on the limiting principle.

[0011] Preferably, an adjustment hole is provided at the lower part of the inner shell near the first lower guide hole, and a sealing plug is detachably installed on the back of the adjustment hole.

[0012] The adjustment hole design at the bottom of the inner shell is to provide an operating channel when the internal structure of the smart lock needs adjustment or maintenance; the sealing plug adopts a detachable connection method, which seals the hole when it is not in use, and prevents dust, moisture and other substances from entering the inside of the smart lock based on the sealing principle.

[0013] Preferably, a second upper guide hole is provided on the upper part of the surface of the outer cover plate, and a second lower guide hole is provided on the lower part of the surface of the outer cover plate. The other end of the upper positioning post is slidably engaged with the second upper guide hole, and the other end of the lower positioning post is slidably engaged with the second lower guide hole.

[0014] This feature involves the second upper guide hole and the second lower guide hole on the outer cover plate slidingly engaging with the other ends of the upper and lower positioning posts. Together with the guide holes on the inner cover plate, these holes guide the positioning posts from both sides of the panel, ensuring accurate horizontal movement and installation of the positioning posts.

[0015] Preferably, an upper track groove is installed on the inner side of the second upper guide hole, and a lower track groove is installed on the inner side of the second lower guide hole. The upper track groove and the lower track groove respectively limit the axial position of the ends of the upper positioning post and the lower positioning post.

[0016] This feature includes an upper track groove inside the second upper guide hole and a lower track groove inside the second lower guide hole. Based on the axial limiting principle, this restricts the end of the positioning post, preventing it from moving in the axial direction and ensuring that the positioning post remains in a fixed position during adjustment and use.

[0017] Preferably, a first gasket is installed on the surface of the inner cover plate, and a second gasket is installed on the surface of the outer cover plate.

[0018] This design incorporates a first gasket on the inner cover surface and a second gasket on the outer cover surface. Utilizing the filling and buffering principles of the gaskets, it fills the gaps between the panels, reducing direct contact and friction between them. Simultaneously, the gaskets possess a certain degree of elasticity, enabling them to provide sealing and shock absorption.

[0019] Preferably, a lock cylinder is installed between the inner panel and the outer panel, an inner handle is installed on the outer side of the inner panel, and an outer handle is installed on the outer side of the outer panel.

[0020] This feature involves installing a lock cylinder between the inner and outer panels, enabling the lock to unlock and close based on its basic working principle. The inner and outer handles are installed on the outer sides of the inner and outer panels, respectively, providing users with a point of leverage for opening and closing the door.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this smart lock panel with a mounting positioning structure, the inner panel and the outer panel are connected by upper and lower positioning posts. The two ends of the positioning posts can be adjusted up and down along the strip holes. Compared with the traditional positioning posts that are fixed on the base and are prone to large errors, this structure can flexibly adjust the relative position of the inner panel and the outer panel according to actual needs during the installation process, so as to achieve precise positioning. This greatly reduces the need to readjust the base due to the deviation of the component position, reduces production difficulty and time costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0023] The first upper and lower guide holes on the inner cover plate slide with the upper and lower positioning posts, and the second upper and lower guide holes on the outer cover plate also slide with the upper and lower positioning posts. At the same time, the upper and lower track grooves on the inner side of the second upper and lower guide holes axially limit the end of the positioning post. The multiple guide and limit design ensures the stability of the positioning post during adjustment and use, avoids the positioning post from shaking or shifting, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the inner and outer panels and improving the overall structural stability of the smart lock panel.

[0024] An adjustment hole is provided at the lower part of the inner shell near the first lower guide hole, and a removable sealing plug is provided. When it is necessary to adjust or repair the internal structure, it can be easily operated through the adjustment hole. After the operation is completed, the sealing plug is used to seal it, which not only meets the maintenance needs, but also prevents dust, moisture and other substances from entering the smart lock, protects the internal electronic components and mechanical structure, and extends the service life of the smart lock.

[0030] 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.

[0031] This utility model provides a smart lock panel with an installation and positioning structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an inner panel 1 and an outer panel 2, which are connected by a horizontal positioning post. Both the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2 are provided with vertical strip holes that cooperate with the positioning post. The positioning post includes an upper positioning post 4 and a lower positioning post 5. The two ends of the upper positioning post 4 and the lower positioning post 5 can be adjusted up and down along the strip hole.

[0032] The inner panel 1 and outer panel 2 are connected by horizontal upper positioning posts 4 and lower positioning posts 5. Utilizing the cooperation of vertical strip holes on the inner and outer panels with the positioning posts, and based on the principle of sliding connection, the two ends of the positioning posts can be adjusted vertically along the strip holes. This design breaks away from traditional fixed connection methods, providing adjustable space for panel installation. During the installation of the smart lock panel, the relative positions of the inner and outer panels can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, accurately adapting to different installation scenarios and component errors, achieving precise positioning; reducing rework and debugging caused by positioning errors, improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and enhancing the versatility of panel installation.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the inner panel 1 includes an inner shell 11, and an inner cover plate 12 is installed on the outside of the inner shell 11. The outer panel 2 includes an outer shell 21, and an outer cover plate 22 is installed on the outside of the outer shell 21.

[0034] The inner panel 1 is disassembled into an inner shell 11 and an inner cover plate 12, and the outer panel 2 is disassembled into an outer shell 21 and an outer cover plate 22. This modular design facilitates the processing, assembly, and maintenance of components. Different components have clearly defined functions: the inner and outer shells provide structural support, while the inner and outer cover plates serve protective and decorative purposes. This simplifies the production process of the smart lock panel, allowing each component to be processed independently before assembly, reducing overall processing difficulty. It also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement; if a component is damaged, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced, eliminating the need to replace the entire panel, saving maintenance costs and time. Furthermore, the modular design allows for personalized design and functional expansion of different components.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first upper guide hole 121 is provided on the inner cover plate 12 near the upper positioning post 4, and a first lower guide hole 122 is provided on the inner cover plate 12 near the lower positioning post 5. One end of the upper positioning post 4 is slidably engaged with the first upper guide hole 121, and one end of the lower positioning post 5 is slidably engaged with the first lower guide hole 122. An integrated positioning groove 13 is installed on the back of the first upper guide hole 121, and the end of the upper positioning post 4 is located in the integrated positioning groove 13.

[0036] The first upper guide hole 121 and the first lower guide hole 122 on the inner cover plate 12 slide with the upper and lower positioning posts, serving as guides to ensure the accuracy of the positioning post movement. The integrated positioning groove 13 on the back of the first upper guide hole 121 limits the end of the positioning post, preventing the positioning post from shifting or coming off during movement based on the limiting principle. This multi-guide and limiting design further improves the stability of the positioning post during adjustment and use, ensuring the firmness of the connection between the inner and outer panels; reduces the impact of positioning post shaking or shifting on the overall structure of the smart lock panel, improving the reliability and service life of the smart lock; and at the same time, makes the panel installation process smoother and reduces installation difficulty.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, an adjustment hole 111 is provided at the lower part of the inner shell 11 near the first lower guide hole 122, and a sealing plug 112 is detachably installed on the back of the adjustment hole 111.

[0038] The adjustment hole 111 at the bottom of the inner shell 11 is designed to provide an operating channel when the internal structure of the smart lock needs adjustment or maintenance. The sealing plug 112 adopts a detachable connection method, sealing it when the adjustment hole is not in use. Based on the sealing principle, it prevents dust, moisture, etc. from entering the interior of the smart lock. This facilitates technicians to inspect and debug the internal electronic components and mechanical structure of the smart lock without disassembling too many parts, improving maintenance efficiency. The use of the sealing plug effectively protects the internal environment of the smart lock, avoiding component damage caused by external factors and extending the service life of the smart lock. At the same time, it maintains the cleanliness and airtightness of the inside of the smart lock, improving the product's protective performance.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a second upper guide hole 221 is provided on the upper part of the surface of the outer cover plate 22, and a second lower guide hole 222 is provided on the lower part of the surface of the outer cover plate 22. The other end of the upper positioning post 4 is slidably engaged with the second upper guide hole 221, and the other end of the lower positioning post 5 is slidably engaged with the second lower guide hole 222.

[0040] The second upper guide hole 221 and the second lower guide hole 222 on the outer cover plate 22 slide and engage with the other ends of the upper and lower positioning posts, working together with the guide holes on the inner cover plate to guide the positioning posts from both sides of the panel, ensuring accurate horizontal movement and installation of the positioning posts. This further enhances the guiding function of the positioning posts, enabling better alignment and fit between the inner and outer panels during installation, improving installation accuracy; it also ensures the stability of the positioning posts during use, reducing panel loosening or shaking caused by inaccurate positioning, and improving the overall quality and user experience of the smart lock panel.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3An upper track groove 23 is installed inside the second upper guide hole 221, and a lower track groove 24 is installed inside the second lower guide hole 222. The upper track groove 23 and the lower track groove 24 respectively limit the ends of the upper positioning post 4 and the lower positioning post 5 axially.

[0042] The upper track groove 23 inside the second upper guide hole 221 and the lower track groove 24 inside the second lower guide hole 222, based on the axial limiting principle, restrict the end of the positioning post to prevent axial movement and ensure the fixed position of the positioning post during adjustment and use. This enhanced limiting effect on the positioning post effectively prevents axial displacement due to external forces during use, ensuring the stability of the connection between the inner and outer panels; it also improves the structural strength and impact resistance of the smart lock panel, enabling the smart lock to maintain stable performance in various operating environments and extending the product's lifespan.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a first gasket 14 is installed on the surface of the inner cover plate 12, and a second gasket 25 is installed on the surface of the outer cover plate 22.

[0044] The first gasket 14 on the surface of the inner cover plate 12 and the second gasket 25 on the surface of the outer cover plate 22 utilize the filling and buffering principles of gaskets to fill the gaps between the panels, reducing direct contact and friction between them. Simultaneously, the gaskets possess a certain degree of elasticity, providing sealing and shock absorption. This enhances the sealing performance of the smart lock panel, preventing dust, moisture, and other external environmental factors from entering the lock, protecting internal electronic components and mechanical structures. It also reduces noise generated by friction between panels, improving the user experience. Furthermore, the buffering effect of the gaskets can absorb some external impacts, protecting the panels from damage and improving the protective performance and durability of the smart lock panel.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a lock cylinder 3 is installed between the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2. An inner handle 6 is installed on the outer side of the inner panel 1, and an outer handle 7 is installed on the outer side of the outer panel 2.

[0046] A lock cylinder 3 is installed between the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2, enabling the lock to unlock and close based on the basic working principle of a lock. Inner handle 6 and outer handle 7 are installed on the outer sides of the inner and outer panels respectively, providing users with points of leverage for opening and closing the door. This constitutes a complete smart lock structure, ensuring the lock's normal functionality and meeting users' needs for both security and convenience. The rational design of the inner and outer handles makes opening and closing easier and more comfortable, enhancing the user experience. Simultaneously, the organic integration of the lock cylinder, handles, and panels ensures the overall stability and reliability of the smart lock structure.

[0047] In use, the smart lock panel with an installation positioning structure of this utility model first utilizes the vertical strip holes on the inner panel 1 and outer panel 2, along with the upper positioning post 4 and lower positioning post 5, to insert both ends of the positioning post into the strip holes based on the sliding connection principle. At this point, the positions of the upper positioning post 4 and lower positioning post 5 can be adjusted up and down along the strip holes according to actual installation needs, precisely adapting to different installation scenarios and component errors. This completes the initial adjustment of the relative positions of the inner panel 1 and outer panel 2, achieving precise positioning. Compared to traditional fixed connection methods, this adjustable design greatly reduces installation difficulty and improves installation efficiency.

[0048] The inner panel 1 adopts a modular design, consisting of an inner shell 11 and an inner cover plate 12, while the outer panel 2 consists of an outer shell 21 and an outer cover plate 22. During installation, the inner shell 11 and outer shell 21 are first initially fixed as the basic structure, followed by the installation of the inner cover plate 12 and the outer cover plate 22. The first upper guide hole 121 and the first lower guide hole 122 on the inner cover plate 12 slide with the upper positioning post 4 and the lower positioning post 5 respectively, serving a guiding function. The integrated positioning groove 13 on the back of the first upper guide hole 121 limits the end of the positioning post, preventing it from shifting or coming off during movement. The second upper guide hole 221 and the second lower guide hole 222 on the outer cover plate 22 slide with the other end of the positioning post, and together with the guide holes on the inner cover plate, guide the positioning post from both sides, ensuring accurate horizontal movement and installation of the positioning post. Meanwhile, the upper track groove 23 inside the second upper guide hole 221 and the lower track groove 24 inside the second lower guide hole 222 axially limit the end of the positioning post, further ensuring that the position of the positioning post is fixed during adjustment and use, and enhancing the stability of the connection between the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2.

[0049] When the internal structure of the smart lock needs adjustment or maintenance, the sealing plug 112 on the back of the adjustment hole 111 at the bottom of the inner shell 11 can be removed. The internal electronic components and mechanical structure can be inspected and adjusted through the adjustment hole 111. After the operation is completed, the sealing plug 112 is reinstalled to prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering the smart lock and to protect the internal environment.

[0050] During daily use, the first gasket 14 on the surface of the inner cover plate 12 and the second gasket 25 on the surface of the outer cover plate 22 play their roles. Utilizing the filling and buffering principle of the gaskets, they fill the gaps between the panels, reducing direct contact and friction between the panels. At the same time, they play a sealing and shock-absorbing role, preventing external environmental factors such as dust and moisture from entering the lock and protecting the internal electronic components and mechanical structure. They also reduce noise generated by friction between the panels, improving the user experience, and absorb a certain amount of external impact, protecting the panels from damage.

[0051] When a user opens the door, they insert the key into the lock cylinder 3 or verify their identity using a smart unlocking method such as fingerprint or password. This triggers the mechanical or electronic structure within the lock cylinder 3, causing it to rotate and retract the bolt between the inner panel 1 and the outer panel 2. The user can then easily open the door by grasping the inner handle 6 or the outer handle 7 and applying external force. To close the door, the user similarly grasps the handle and pushes the door shut. The bolt automatically extends under the action of springs and other mechanisms, inserting into the lock hole in the door frame to lock the door, completing a full opening and closing operation. The well-designed inner and outer handles provide users with comfortable operating points, organically combining the lock cylinder 3, handles, and panels to ensure the stability and reliability of the overall smart lock structure during use.
