[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] This embodiment discloses a housing structure for a smart door lock, referring to... Figure 1-4 The housing structure includes a main housing 1, inside which is a circuit board and a control button 11 electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board is used to control the extension and retraction of the smart door lock tongue, detect the position of the tongue, and provide feedback on door opening and closing signals. The control button 11 is used for installers or users to initialize and debug the smart door lock or enter unlocking information. The above are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0026] The housing structure also includes a detachable outer cover plate 2 connected to one side of the main housing 1. The outer cover plate 2 has a button opening 201 corresponding to the control button 11. The button opening 201 is detachably equipped with an anti-accidental touch cover. In this embodiment, the anti-accidental touch cover is specifically a cover screw 4. The main housing 1 has an internal thread that matches the cover screw 4. The cover screw 4 passes through the button opening 201 and is connected and fixed with the internal thread. The main housing 1 may have a mounting block 13. The aforementioned internal thread is formed on the mounting block 13. The main housing 1 has a button through hole 101 corresponding to the threaded hole of the mounting block 13. In addition, the mounting block 13 can be snapped and fixed to the main housing 1. By adopting this split component structure, it is not only easy to install, but also has a lower production cost.
[0027] When installers or users need to debug or input information into the smart lock, they only need to unscrew the cover screw 4 to remove it from the button opening 201. Then, they can use a screwdriver or other rod-shaped object to insert it into the button opening 201 to touch the control button 11. By using the cover screw 4 as an anti-accidental touch cover, it not only has a good covering and fixing effect, preventing children or other uninformed people from accidentally touching it and affecting the use of the smart lock, but also, since the screw is a conventional and universal fastener, no different from other screws on the lock, unlike covers or other cover, the screw has higher concealment and anti-accidental touch effect, and is cheaper to manufacture. Therefore, using the cover screw 4 as the anti-accidental touch cover is a better solution.
[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main housing 1 also houses a battery assembly 12 electrically connected to the circuit board. The main housing 1 has a battery access port 102 corresponding to the battery assembly 12 and facing the outer cover plate 2, which is covered by the outer cover plate 2. With this design, when the battery assembly is depleted, the outer cover plate 2 can be removed from the main housing 1 for charging or replacement with another battery assembly. Unlike existing door lock housing structures, this solution features a quick-release battery function, making operation more convenient.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the housing structure includes a main housing 1, an inner cover plate 3, and an outer cover plate 2. The inner cover plate 3 is disposed between the main housing 1 and the outer cover plate 2. The inner cover plate 3 has a cover opening 301 corresponding to the battery insertion / removal port 102. The outer cover plate 2, the inner cover plate 3, and the main housing 1 are fixed by connecting screws 5. By adopting the above design, it is beneficial to improve the installation stability of the battery assembly and facilitate disassembly and removal.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the inner cover plate 3 is provided with a cover plate connection hole 302. The cover screw 4 passes through the button opening 201 and the cover plate connection hole 302, and is threadedly connected to the mounting block 13 of the main housing 1. In this way, the cover screw 4 not only covers the button opening 201, but also fixes the outer cover plate 2, the inner cover plate 3 and the main housing 1 to each other, thereby improving the connection stability.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the inner cover plate 3 is provided with door leaf mounting holes 303, allowing the housing structure to be fixedly installed on the door leaf using self-tapping screws 6. Of course, in other embodiments, the main housing 1 can also be an integral structure with the inner cover plate 3, but a separate structure is preferred, which helps reduce production costs. Furthermore, the inner cover plate 3 is provided with a positioning groove, and the main housing 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 103 that engages with the positioning groove. By adopting the above design, it is beneficial to improve assembly efficiency and connection stability.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the main housing 1 is provided with a speaker 14 electrically connected to the circuit board. The main housing 1, the inner cover plate 3 and the outer cover plate 2 are all provided with a sound-emitting hole 202 corresponding to the speaker 14. By adopting the above design, the smart door lock with integrated speaker 14 can better emit sound in the housing structure of this embodiment.
[0033] The technical solution provided by this utility model has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
