Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, specifically to an electronic lock. Background Technology

[0002] Based on existing electronic locks, the battery box is directly located on the outside of the lock body. That is, after the door is closed, the battery box is located outside the door. For example, in the prior art with announcement number CN206971970U, the battery box is directly located on the lock body inside the door. Although this makes it convenient to replace the battery, the battery box is directly exposed inside the door. Strong door shaking can cause the battery in the battery box to fall out, which can cause the lock body to lose power. In addition, children can easily access it, and children's accidental disassembly can also cause the lock body to lose power. Utility Model Content

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides an embodiment of an electronic lock, including a lock body 1, on which a socket assembly 3 and a battery box 2 are provided. The battery box 2 is inserted into the socket assembly 3 through a side hole 6 on the side of the lock body 1. Since the battery box 2 can be inserted into the lock body 1 from the side, it allows for several advantages: firstly, the battery box 2 can be completely separated from the lock body 1, facilitating user replacement of the battery or direct charging of the battery in the battery box 2; secondly, because the battery box 2 is installed on the side of the lock body 1, it is located inside the door when the door is closed, effectively preventing power loss due to accidental disassembly by children; and thirdly, because the battery box 2 is located inside the door when the door is closed, even strong shaking of the door will not cause the battery box to separate from the lock body, thus ensuring reliable power supply from the battery box to the lock body.

[0022] The socket assembly 3 includes a mounting base 30 with an open end, and the battery box 2 passes through the lock body 1 and is located inside the mounting base 30. The battery box 2 includes a housing 20, and the housing 20 is also provided with a pin 22. The pin 22 is adapted to and connected to a rebound device 32 provided on the mounting base 30. Based on this, the battery box 2 can be easily and conveniently installed and removed by pressing it. The working principle of the rebound device 32 is the same as that of the press-type self-locking buckle, that is, pressing once unlocks and pressing again locks.

[0023] Furthermore, the socket assembly 3 also includes a circuit board 33 fixed on the mounting base 30, and the circuit board 33 is connected to the power source inside the battery box 2 through an electrode assembly 34. The electrode assembly 34 includes pins 35, conductive posts 36, and springs 37, with one end of the pins 35 fixed to the circuit board 33. The spring 37 is installed between the conductive posts 36 and the pins 35, and the spring 37 causes the conductive posts 36 to slide inward into the mounting base 30 without external force. Based on this, the spring 37 can be used to make the conductive posts 36 contact the electrodes on the battery box 2 to ensure the stability and smooth flow of the circuit.

[0024] To ensure that the conductive post 36 reliably abuts against the electrode of the battery box 2, the mounting base 30 is also provided with a fixing base 38, and the fixing base 38 is connected to the mounting base 30 through a through hole 310. Therefore, the fixing base 38 provides a stable working area for the spring 37 and the conductive post 36, and the through hole 310 guides the conductive post 36 to slide, so as to ensure that the conductive post 36 can make stable and reliable contact with the electrode of the battery box 2. At the same time, the fixing base 38 is also provided with a slot 39, so that the pin 35 can be inserted into the slot 39 to ensure the stability of the pin 35 during operation.

[0025] To ensure that the battery box 2 can make smooth and accurate contact with the conductive post 36, the inner wall of the mounting base 30 is also provided with a support strip 31, and the battery box 2 is guided into the mounting base 30 through the support strip 31.

[0026] Since the mounting base 30 is provided with a first connecting post 312 on its side, the mounting base 30 is fixed inside the lock body 1 by bolts passing through the first connecting post 312 and connecting to the first connecting hole 4 provided on the lock body 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the side of the mounting base 30 is also provided with a second connecting post 311, and the second connecting post 311 is adapted to be connected to the second connecting hole 5 provided on the lock body 1.

[0028] In summary, this ensures that the socket assembly 3 can be stably and reliably connected to the lock body 1, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the socket assembly 3 during operation.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown: Since the battery box 2 also includes a cover plate 21, and is connected to the housing 20 through the cover plate 21 to fix the battery inside the housing 20, the lithium battery can be fixed inside the housing 20.

[0030] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown: When the battery is a dry cell battery, the side of the cover plate 21 is provided with a groove 24, and the groove 24 is also provided with an extension 25; the housing 20 is also provided with a protrusion 23. After the extension 25 enters the bottom surface of the protrusion 23, the cover plate 21 presses the battery tightly inside the housing 20. Therefore, the cylindrical dry cell battery can be stably and reliably pressed inside the housing 20. In addition, the side of the cover plate 21 with the battery is also provided with an arc groove to further ensure the stability of the dry cell battery during use.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model will still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
