The indicator light 8 consists of red and green lights. When the battery board 5 has insufficient power, the red light illuminates and flashes, reminding the user to charge the battery board 5. When the battery board 5 is fully charged, the green light illuminates and turns off after the charger is unplugged, displaying the battery board 5's power level. A mounting slot 4 is provided on the upper part of the main body 1 near the inner handle 3 for installing the battery board 5. The battery board 5 provides power to the electronic components, ensuring the normal operation of the smart lock. Multiple positioning parts 6 are installed on the inner wall of the mounting slot 4 to secure the battery board 5, ensuring the stability of the connection between the battery board 5 and the inner wall of the mounting slot 4.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 A power connector 41, which connects to the internal circuit board of the main body 1, is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting slot 4. The upper end of the power connector 41 has a socket for the lower end of the battery panel 5 to be inserted, ensuring the normal operation of the smart lock.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The upper end of the main body 1 is equipped with a cover plate 7 for covering the mounting groove 4. The upper end of the cover plate 7 has a positioning hole 71 for inserting the upper end of the charging connector 42. The positioning hole 71 is used to ensure the stability of the charging connector 42 and prevent misalignment. A protective pad 72 for covering the upper side of the charging connector 42 is rotatably connected to the inner side of one end of the positioning hole 71. The protective pad 72 is used to prevent dust, moisture, etc. from entering the charging interface 421, avoiding contamination or damage to the charging interface 421 and extending the service life of the charging interface 421. Two plug rods 73 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the cover plate 7, and the upper end of the main body 1 has a slot 12 for inserting the plug rods 73 to ensure the stability of the connection between the cover plate 7 and the main body 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6In this application, there are four positioning elements 6. In other embodiments, the number of positioning elements 6 may be two, six, or more. Each positioning element 6 consists of a sliding plate 61, a locking block 62, and two return springs 63. The locking block 62 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding plate 61, and the two return springs 63 are fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding plate 61. The inner wall of the mounting groove 4 has a positioning groove 43 for sliding the sliding plate 61 and the locking block 62. The other ends of the two return springs 63 are fixedly connected to one side of the positioning groove 43.

When installing the battery panel 5, inserting it into the mounting slot 4 will push the inclined surface of the locking block 62, causing the locking block 62 to retract into the inner side of the positioning slot 43, and causing the return spring 63 to retract until the plugs on both sides of one side of the battery panel 5 are inserted into the sockets of the power connector 41 and the charging connector 42 respectively. At this time, one end of the locking block 62 is disengaged from the side wall of the battery panel 5. Then, with the help of the elastic force of the return spring 63, one side of the sliding plate 61 is pushed to fit against one side of the positioning slot 43 until one side of the locking block 62 is pressed against one side of the battery panel 5, thus completing the installation of the battery panel 5.

[0039] The implementation principle of the smart fingerprint lock in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the lock body 11 is installed inside the main body 1; then, the inner handle 3 and the outer handle 2 are respectively installed on both sides of the main body 1 and connected to the lock body 11; Second, the fingerprint module 21 is installed on the inner wall of one end of the outer handle 2, and its circuit is connected to the circuit board inside the main body 1, and then the circuit board is connected to the digital panel 10 on one side of the main body 1; Third, the cover plate 7 is pushed upward to remove it, and then the battery plate 5 is placed in the mounting slot 4. Then, the battery plate 5 is pushed until the two plugs on one side of the battery plate 5 are respectively inserted into the plugs of the power connector 41. The charging connector 42 is inserted into the socket. At this time, the return spring 63 pushes the slide plate 61 to slide on the inner wall of the positioning groove 43 until one side of the locking block 62 abuts against one side of the battery plate 5, completing the installation of the battery plate 5. The fourth step is to move the cover plate 7 to insert the two plug rods 73 into the slot 12 until the lower side of the cover plate 7 fits against the body 1 and the positioning hole 71 is locked on the outside of the charging connector 42, completing the installation of the cover plate 7. The fifth step is to install the deadbolt 9 at the lower end of the body 1 and connect it to the lock body 11, completing the assembly of the smart fingerprint lock. Finally, the smart fingerprint lock can be installed on the door panel using the installation components.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
