Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart lock technology. Background Technology

[0002] Smart lock handles are typically fixed to either left or right opening. Users need to determine the door's opening direction (left inward, right inward, etc.) before installation. If the wrong lock is selected or the installation direction does not match the door, the entire lock body needs to be replaced or the complex mechanical structure needs to be disassembled for adjustment. Furthermore, while some smart locks employ a dual-mode design combining mechanical and fingerprint locks, they are usually arranged in a distributed manner. Therefore, adjusting the door handle cannot simultaneously ensure the ease of use of both unlocking components.

[0003] Therefore, there is room for improvement in the existing type of lock. Utility Model Content

[0025] See appendix Figure 1-4 The image shows a handle mechanism for a smart door lock. The handle mechanism 1 includes a lock cylinder assembly 3 and a door handle 2. The door handle 2 can be switched between a first directional position and a second directional position to be assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3. The first directional position and the second directional position are horizontally opposite each other. The lock cylinder assembly 3 includes a fingerprint module 32 and a mechanical lock cylinder 31. The door handle 2 is provided with an unlocking port 22. When the door handle 2 is in the first directional position or the second directional position, the fingerprint unlocking position 320 of the fingerprint module 32 and the mechanical unlocking position 310 of the mechanical lock cylinder 31 are both exposed through the unlocking port 22.

[0026] The door handle 2 and lock cylinder assembly 3 have two assembly methods, which can be selected according to the installation environment. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2-3The diagram shows the assembly of the door handle 2 with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in two orientations: one with the handle body 20 horizontally to the left, and the other with the handle body 20 horizontally to the right. Taking the relative positions of the door handle 2 and the lock cylinder assembly 3 as a reference, the first and second orientations of the door handle 2 are 180 degrees apart, representing two opposing orientations in the horizontal direction. When the door handle 2 is assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in the first orientation, it is suitable for opening the door from the right; when the door handle 2 is assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in the second orientation, it is suitable for opening the door from the left. Regardless of the orientation in which the door handle 2 is assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3, the fingerprint unlocking position 320 and the mechanical unlocking position 310 are always exposed through the unlocking port 22 on the door handle 2, allowing the user to flexibly choose the unlocking method and simultaneously perform the door-pushing action while unlocking.

[0027] In some embodiments, the outer end of the door handle 2 forms a handle body 20, the inner end of the door handle 2 is provided with a groove 21, and the lower end of the groove 21 is provided with a cavity opening 210. When the door handle 2 is in a first direction position or a second direction position, the lock cylinder assembly 3 can be inserted into the groove 21 through the cavity opening 210.

[0028] The outer end of the door handle 2 has a certain length to form a handle body 20 that can be operated by the user's hand. The inner end of the door handle 2 extends downward into a groove 21, and the lock cylinder assembly 3 is inserted into the groove 21 from the lower end cavity 210. (See attached image) Figure 2-3 For reference, both the slot cavity 21 and the lock cylinder assembly 3 have a generally square outline. The door handle 2 can be inserted into the slot cavity 21 from either the first or second orientation. When the door handle 2 is assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in the first orientation, its handle body 20 faces right, and the slot cavity 21 is on the left. After inserting the lock cylinder assembly 3 from the slot cavity 210, the fingerprint module 32 is closer to the handle body 20. When the door handle 2 is assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in the second orientation, its handle body 20 faces left, and the slot cavity 21 is on the right. After inserting the lock cylinder assembly 3 from the slot cavity 210, the mechanical lock cylinder 31 is closer to the handle body 20.

[0029] In some embodiments, the upper end of the groove 21 is provided with the unlocking port 22, which is exposed on the surface of the door handle 2. The fingerprint unlocking position 320 and the mechanical unlocking position 310 are both exposed through the unlocking port 22. The upper end of the groove 21 faces the user, and the groove 21 is located away from the handle body 20. Both unlocking positions are exposed through the unlocking port 22 at the upper end of the groove 21, which facilitates the user to operate the handle body 20 to push the door while unlocking.

[0030] In some embodiments, the unlocking port 22 is equipped with an outer cover 24, which has two independent small holes 25 corresponding to the fingerprint unlocking position 320 and the mechanical unlocking position 310, respectively. To enhance the protection of the fingerprint module 32 and the mechanical lock cylinder 31, and to improve the recognition of the two unlocking modes, the unlocking port 22 is fitted with an outer cover 24, which covers the unlocking port 22. The outer cover 24 also has two separate independent small holes 25, corresponding to the fingerprint unlocking position 320 and the mechanical unlocking position 310, respectively, creating a clear functional distinction and guiding the user to accurately select mechanical or fingerprint unlocking.

[0031] Furthermore, a recessed area 23 is formed on the surface of the door handle 2 around the unlocking port 22, and the outer cover 24 is fitted into the recessed area 23. The outer cover 24 is fitted into the recessed area 23, which is beneficial to the assembly stability, and the connection between the two can be strengthened by adhesive bonding.

[0032] In some embodiments, the slot 21 is connected to the lock cylinder assembly 3 by screws; the lock cylinder assembly 3 has lock grooves 300 on both opposite side walls; the side wall of the slot 21 is provided with screw holes, and the screws are screwed into the lock grooves 300 through the screw holes. Figure 2-3 As shown, horizontal lock grooves 300 are provided on both the left and right sides of the lock cylinder assembly 3. When the door handle 2 is assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in the first direction, the screw is screwed in through the screw hole on the side wall of the groove cavity 21 and reaches the lock groove 300 on the right side wall of the lock cylinder assembly 3 to reinforce and lock the door handle 2 and the lock cylinder assembly 3. When it is necessary to change the direction, the screw is unscrewed and the door handle 2 is adjusted to be assembled with the lock cylinder assembly 3 in the second direction. The screw is screwed in through the screw hole on the side wall of the groove cavity 21 and reaches the lock groove 300 on the left side wall of the lock cylinder assembly 3 to achieve reinforcement and locking.

[0033] In some embodiments, the lock cylinder assembly 3 further includes a lock cylinder shell 30, in which a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity are formed. The fingerprint module 32 is installed in the first inner cavity, and the mechanical lock cylinder 31 is installed in the second inner cavity. The fingerprint unlocking position 320 and the mechanical unlocking position 310 are both located at the upper end of the lock cylinder assembly 3.

[0034] By forming a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity in the lock cylinder shell 30, the fingerprint module 32 and the mechanical lock cylinder 31 are relatively independently placed in the lock cylinder shell 30, thereby enhancing structural stability. Then, the lock cylinder shell 30 and the slot cavity 21 are used to assemble the lock cylinder assembly 3 and the door handle 2. The fingerprint module 32 and the mechanical lock cylinder 31 are connected to the main panel through the lower ends of the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity to transmit corresponding signals.

[0035] A smart lock is provided, including a main panel and a handle mechanism 1 as described in any of the preceding claims, the handle mechanism 1 being assembled with the main panel. The main panel is installed in the door leaf, and the fingerprint module 32 and mechanical lock cylinder 31 of the lock cylinder assembly 3 are connected to the main panel. The main panel controls the movement of the bolt according to the input signals from the fingerprint module 32 and the mechanical lock cylinder 31 to adjust the opening and closing of the lock. After the lock is opened, the user pushes the door open using the door handle 2.

[0036] In summary, this application provides a smart door lock handle mechanism 1 with two different orientation assembly methods. Users can flexibly adjust the installation according to the door opening direction. Regardless of the orientation in which it is assembled, the door handle 2 has an exposed mechanical unlocking position 310 and fingerprint unlocking. Users can flexibly choose the unlocking method and also easily push the door with force on the door handle 2.
