[0002] Smart locks are devices that allow locking and unlocking without the need for traditional keys. Common examples include fingerprint locks and combination locks. For newly renovated spaces, combination or fingerprint locks can be installed directly to achieve automatic locking and unlocking. However, for doors already equipped with traditional locks, achieving automatic locking and unlocking requires replacing the existing locks or the entire door. This is problematic because lock bodies vary in shape and size, often resulting in incompatibility between old and new locks. On-site drilling and modification are necessary, making the process complex, labor-intensive, and expensive.

[0003] Therefore, some lock-opening robots have emerged on the market that can be directly installed on existing lock bodies to achieve automatic locking and unlocking. These intelligent lock-opening robots typically use wireless methods (such as Bluetooth) to control the lock from the outside, while from the inside, the lock can be opened and closed by turning a knob. Existing lock-opening robots of this type usually lack a backlight function. When users use the knob to open or close the lock at night, they usually need to turn on a light first, or search for a while to find the knob, causing inconvenience to the user. Therefore, it is clear that existing lock-opening robots need improvement. Utility Model Content

The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0022] In this invention, the reference to "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment to other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1-4As shown, a lock-switching robot with a luminous function includes a housing 1, a bracket 2 fixedly installed inside the housing 1, a circuit board 3 and a drive assembly fixedly installed on the bracket 2, the drive assembly being electrically connected to the circuit board 3, and a lock-switching clamp 4 provided on the output end of the drive assembly, one end of the lock-switching clamp 4 extending out of the housing 1 and connected to a door lock. When installing the lock-switching robot, the lock-switching clamp 4 is clamped and fixed to the unlocking knob on the door lock. When using the automatic lock-switching function, the circuit board 3 controls the drive assembly to work, the drive assembly drives the lock-switching clamp 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the lock-switching clamp 4 drives the unlocking knob of the door lock to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic lock-switching function.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, a communication module such as Bluetooth can be integrated on circuit board 3. This module allows connection to a control terminal, which can be a mobile phone, computer, or similar device. When the lock automatically opens or closes, the control terminal sends a control signal to circuit board 3. Upon receiving the control signal, circuit board 3 immediately controls the drive components to operate, thereby achieving the automatic lock opening and closing function.

[0026] A lock switch knob 5 is provided at the end of the lock switch chuck 4 away from the door lock. The lock switch knob 5 can drive the lock switch chuck 4 to rotate. By setting the lock switch knob 5, the lock switch robot can retain the function of manually opening and closing the lock. When manually opening and closing the lock, the user only needs to hold the lock switch knob 5 and turn it. The lock switch knob 5 will drive the lock switch chuck 4 to rotate. The lock switch chuck 4 will drive the door lock's unlock knob to rotate, thereby realizing the function of manually opening and closing the lock.

[0027] A luminous block 6 is provided on the end face of the switch knob 5 away from the switch clamp 4. The luminous block 6 is made of fluorescent material and can store light energy during the day and release it at night. By providing a luminous block 6 on the switch knob 5, users can quickly locate the switch knob 5 at night without turning on auxiliary lighting, thus achieving a quick lock-on / lock-off function, improving practicality and enhancing user experience.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the end face of the switch lock knob 5 is provided with a mounting groove 51 that matches the shape and size of the luminous block 6, and the luminous block 6 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 51. By setting the mounting groove 51, the luminous block 6 can be installed stably on the switch lock knob 5, reducing the problem of the luminous block 6 falling off and improving the stability of the structure.

[0029] To further improve the installation stability of the luminous block 6 on the switch lock knob 5, two locking blocks 61 are provided on the luminous block 6. Corresponding locking slots 52 are provided in the mounting groove 51 at their respective positions. The locking blocks 61 are inserted into their corresponding locking slots 52 for locking and limiting. After the luminous block 6 is installed and fixed in the mounting groove 51, the locking blocks 61 are inserted into their corresponding locking slots 52, the outer peripheral sidewall of the luminous block 6 is in contact with the sidewall of the mounting groove 51, and the upper end face of the luminous block 6 is flush with the upper end face of the switch lock knob 5. Through the cooperation of the two locking blocks 61 and the locking slots 52, and the cooperation of the luminous block 6 and the mounting groove 51, the luminous block 6 can be stably installed on the switch lock knob 5, and the upper ends of both are flush, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the switch lock robot.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the lock switch chuck 4 includes a mounting base 41, which is connected to the output end of the drive assembly. Two clamping blocks 42 are mounted on the mounting base 41 and are detachably connected to it. The clamping blocks 42 are used to hold the door lock. During installation, the two clamping blocks 42 hold the unlocking knob on the door lock, causing the lock switch chuck 4 to rotate, thus rotating the unlocking knob and enabling the lock to open and close.

[0031] Since the unlocking knobs of different door locks have different thicknesses, in order to be suitable for different door locks, this embodiment has eight positioning slots 43 on the mounting base 41, and the eight positioning slots 43 are symmetrically distributed in pairs on the mounting base 41. Each clamping block 42 has a positioning block 44 at its lower end. The positioning block 44 can be inserted into each positioning slot 43 and is detachably connected to the positioning slot 43. During the installation of this lock-switching robot, firstly, the positioning block 44 of one clamping block 42 is inserted into one of the positioning slots 43, and the clamping block 42 is fixed to the mounting base 41 with screws; then, the mounting base 41 is placed on the lock's switch knob, and then the positioning block 44 of the other clamping block 42 is inserted into the corresponding positioning slot 43, and the clamping block 42 is fixed to the mounting base 41 with screws; at this time, the lock's unlocking knob is held by two clamping blocks 42, so driving the mounting base 41 to rotate will drive the lock's unlocking knob to rotate, thereby realizing the lock-switching. Depending on the thickness of the unlocking knob on the door lock, the positioning block 44 on the clamping block 42 can be inserted into different positioning slots 43, thereby changing the distance between the two clamping blocks 42, thus making it suitable for different types of door locks and improving the versatility of the lock-opening robot.

[0032] In other embodiments, the number of positioning slots 43 can be any other number, and the distribution pattern can also be any other form, as long as it is ensured that the two clamping blocks 42 can hold the door lock's unlocking knob.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive motor 7, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 3. A first gear 8 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 7, a second gear 9 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 2, and a third gear 10 is mounted on the mounting base 41 of the switch lock chuck 4. The second gear 9 meshes with both the first gear 8 and the third gear 10. When the automatic lock opening and closing function is used, a control signal is sent to the circuit board 3 via the control terminal. The circuit board 3 controls the drive motor 7 to operate, which drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 drives the second gear 9 and the third gear 10 to rotate synchronously. The third gear 10 drives the switch lock chuck 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the door lock's unlocking knob to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic lock opening and closing function.

[0034] For ease of assembly, the housing 1 includes a front housing 11 and a rear cover 12. The front housing 11 and the rear cover 12 are fixedly connected by screws. After the front housing 11 and the rear cover 12 are installed and fixed, an installation cavity is formed inside, which facilitates the installation of other components. During the assembly process, the bracket 2, circuit board 3 and drive motor 7 and other components can be fixedly installed on the front housing 11 first, and then the rear cover 12 is fixedly connected to the front housing 11 by screws.

[0035] A battery compartment 13 is provided on the front cover 11, which is used to install the battery 14. A battery cover 15 is detachably provided on the battery compartment 13. The battery 14 supplies power to the circuit board 3, enabling the circuit board 3 to control the operation of the drive motor 7. The battery cover 15 facilitates the replacement of the battery 14 in the battery compartment 13, improving practicality. In other embodiments, an external power supply can also be used for power supply, which is not a limitation of this invention.

[0036] Since the panel thickness of various door locks varies, an adjustment bracket 16 is installed on the back cover 12 to accommodate door locks with panels of different thicknesses. The adjustment bracket 16 is adjustable and limited to the back cover 12. By pushing the adjustment bracket 16 to move on the back cover 12, the thickness of the back cover 12 changes, making it suitable for the installation requirements of door locks with panels of different thicknesses, thus improving the versatility of the lock-switching robot.

[0037] Specifically, the adjusting bracket 16 has multiple sets of through holes 17 evenly spaced. The rear cover 12 has screw holes at positions corresponding to the through holes 17. Installing screws pass through the through holes 17 and are fixedly connected to the screw holes, thus connecting and fixing the adjusting bracket 16 to the rear cover 12. If adjustment of the adjusting bracket 16 is needed, simply unscrew the mounting screws to move the adjusting bracket 16 to the appropriate position. Then, pass the mounting screws through the corresponding through holes 17 and screw holes to adjust the thickness of the adjusting bracket 16 extending beyond the rear cover 12, thus adapting it to the installation requirements of different door locks.

[0038] The above-described specific embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific scope of this utility model. The scope of this utility model includes but is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All equivalent changes made in accordance with this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
