[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides one embodiment: a spur gear transmission door lock structure, including an outer lock shell 1, wherein, for details, please refer to the appendix of the specification. Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a spur gear 2 is rotatably installed inside the outer lock housing 1. A main gear 3 is installed at one end of the spur gear 2. The spur gear 2 and the main gear 3 are integrally formed. In actual use, one side of the spur gear 2 is connected to the linkage pin structure of the lock body. The rotation of the spur gear 2 can drive the linkage pin structure to extend and retract, so that the pin can be inserted into the door frame for locking or retracted for unlocking.

[0023] As should be noted, the linkage pin structure is not shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification. It is a mature existing technology product and is widely used in smart door locks. Any linkage pin structure that is driven by rotation can be applied to this utility model. It is relatively easy to obtain in the existing market and can be obtained without creative effort. Therefore, this specification will not describe the structure of the linkage pin in detail.

[0024] A knob 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the outer surface of the main gear 3 via a connecting shaft. The knob 4 is located outside the outer lock housing 1. According to the above description, this utility model can be manually rotated by the knob 4. The rotation of the knob 4 can drive the spur gear 2 to rotate, and the rotation of the spur gear 2 can drive the connecting rod pin to perform unlocking and locking. It has the effect of manually opening and closing the door indoors.

[0025] This utility model replaces the indoor door lock handle structure with a knob 4 structure. When unlocking, simply turn the knob 4 to rotate it, eliminating the need for a handle-type manual unlocking operation. In actual use, this utility model door lock is suitable for people with hand disabilities to unlock. Unlocking does not require manual gripping; simply turning the knob is sufficient. It is more convenient to use, better caters to the lock-using experience of people with hand disabilities, and is more practical with a wider range of applications.

[0026] Meanwhile, in order to ensure the outdoor key unlocking operation of this utility model, a synchronous shaft 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the end of the spur gear 2 away from the knob 4, and a lock cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the synchronous shaft 5. Thus, after the key is inserted into the lock cylinder 11, the spur gear 2 can be driven to rotate through the synchronous shaft 5, so that the door lock of this utility model can be unlocked by the key, ensuring the normal key unlocking and entry effect.

[0027] In order to automate the unlocking process, a motor 6 is installed below the spur gear 2. The motor 6 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the outer lock housing 1 by screws. A drive gear 7 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 6, and the drive gear 7 meshes with the main gear 3.

[0028] This structural design allows the motor 6 to drive the drive gear 7 to rotate. When the drive gear 7 rotates, the main gear 3 meshing with it can rotate synchronously. In this way, the rotation of the main gear 3 drives the spur gear 2 to rotate synchronously, thereby completing the unlocking and locking work through the rotation of the spur gear 2, achieving the practical effect of an automated switch.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to supply power to the motor 6, a battery 8 is provided above the spur gear 2 and inside the outer lock shell 1. In actual use, the battery 8 is electrically connected to the motor 6 through the circuit board, so that the battery 8 can supply power to the motor 6 through the circuit board. At the same time, the circuit board can also intelligently control the motor 6, so that the door lock of this utility model can be easily controlled by the motor 6 to automatically unlock or lock.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to protect the battery 8 both internally and externally, an outer protective baffle 9 is fixedly installed on the outside of the battery 8. The outer protective baffle 9 is made of foam.

[0031] Furthermore, the battery 8 is provided with a battery cover 10, which is fixedly connected to the outer lock shell 1 by screws.

[0032] Working principle: Users can use the door lock structure of this utility model in a conventional way, that is, install it on the door for normal use;

[0033] In actual use, one side of the spur gear 2 is connected to the linkage pin structure of the lock body. The rotation of the spur gear 2 can drive the linkage pin structure to extend and retract, so that the pin can be inserted into the door frame to lock or retracted to unlock.

[0034] When it is necessary to unlock the door from the inside, rotating the knob 4 will drive the spur gear 2 to rotate, and the rotation of the spur gear 2 will drive the connecting rod pin to unlock and lock, thus providing the effect of manually opening and closing the door from the inside.

[0035] This utility model replaces the indoor door lock handle structure with a knob 4 structure. When unlocking, simply turn the knob 4 to rotate it, eliminating the need for a handle-type manual unlocking operation. In actual use, this utility model door lock is suitable for people with hand disabilities to unlock. Unlocking does not require manual gripping; simply turning the knob is sufficient. It is more convenient to use, better caters to the lock-using experience of people with hand disabilities, and is more practical with a wider range of applications.

[0036] Meanwhile, a lock cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the synchronous shaft 5 of the spur gear 2. After the key is inserted into the lock cylinder 11, the spur gear 2 can be driven to rotate through the synchronous shaft 5, so that the door lock of this utility model can be unlocked by the key, ensuring the normal key unlocking and entry effect.

[0037] In order to automate the unlocking process, a motor 6 is installed below the spur gear 2. A drive gear 7 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 6, and the drive gear 7 meshes with the main gear 3.

[0038] This structural design allows the motor 6 to drive the drive gear 7 to rotate. When the drive gear 7 rotates, the main gear 3 meshing with it can rotate synchronously. In this way, the rotation of the main gear 3 drives the spur gear 2 to rotate synchronously, thereby completing the unlocking and locking work through the rotation of the spur gear 2, achieving the practical effect of an automated switch.

[0039] In actual use, motor 6 can be controlled by a circuit board, which can receive external control signals to control motor 6 to perform the automatic unlocking or locking requirements.

[0040] In summary, the spur gear transmission door lock structure of this utility model allows for manual unlocking via knob or key rotation through the internal spur gear 2, making it convenient to use. Simultaneously, the spur gear 2 can be driven by the motor 6, achieving automated unlocking. The motor 6 and the spur gear 6 are directly connected via the driving gear 7 and the main gear 3, providing a gear-driven unlocking effect. Compared to existing smart door locks, the door lock structure of this utility model has a simpler internal transmission structure and principle, is easier to manufacture, and is suitable for mass production. It offers a simplified practical application, with direct transmission between the two gears and no redundant indirect gear transmission structures, resulting in higher transmission efficiency, faster unlocking response, and greater practicality.

[0041] Furthermore, by simplifying the internal gear structure of the door lock, the internal complexity of the door lock can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing manufacturing difficulty. At the same time, it can effectively reduce the inspection and maintenance costs when the door lock malfunctions, and simultaneously reduce the difficulty of inspection and maintenance, resulting in better economic efficiency. The two gears of this utility model can be directly connected for transmission. By reducing the indirect gear transmission structure, the transmission efficiency can be improved while effectively reducing the overall weight of the door lock, resulting in a lightweight and convenient user experience.
