Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of smart locks, and more particularly to an American standard smart door lock. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, door locks are also constantly being updated and replaced, and smart door locks have gradually been applied to people's lives.

[0003] Some current smart door locks consist of a front body located on the front side of the door and a rear body located on the back side of the door. The front and rear bodies are fixed by screws and threaded connections of connecting posts. The following is an example of a front body with a connecting cylinder and screws that pass through the rear body and extend into the connecting cylinder. The front body has a connecting cylinder on its back. By passing screws through the front plate of the rear body and connecting them to the connecting cylinder with threads, the front and rear bodies can be fixed. Therefore, in the actual installation of smart door locks, the front plate of the rear body is usually fixed to the front body before the installation of other components inside the rear body and the outer shell of the rear body is carried out. The motor and multiple transmission gears on the rear body used to drive the unlocking usually need to be installed one by one, which makes the installation and maintenance time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an American Standard smart lock that is easier to install. Utility Model Content

[0032] For reference Figure 1Currently, some smart locks include a front body 10 and a rear body 20. The back of the front body 10 is equipped with a connecting cylinder. By passing a screw 202 through the front plate 201 of the rear body 20 and connecting it with the connecting cylinder, the front body 10 and the rear body 20 can be fixed. Therefore, in the actual installation of smart door locks, the front plate 201 of the rear body 20 is usually fixed to the front body 10 before the installation of other components inside the rear body 20 and the outer shell of the rear body 20 is carried out. The motor and multiple transmission gears on the rear body 20 used to drive unlocking usually need to be installed one by one, which makes the installation and maintenance time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0033] For reference Figures 2-8 To make installation more convenient, one embodiment of this utility model provides an American Standard smart door lock, which includes: a front body 10, a rear body 20, an unlocking shaft 30, and a drive module 40.

[0034] The unlocking shaft 30 extends in a forward and backward direction. The drive module 40 can be installed on the front body 10 or the rear body 20. The drive module 40 is used to drive the unlocking shaft 30 to rotate to complete the unlocking. The drive module 40 includes a drive motor 41, a gearbox 42, and a transmission gear set. The gearbox 42 is fixed to the drive motor 41, and the transmission gear set is located in the gearbox 42. The output shaft of the drive motor 41 is linked to the transmission gear set and drives the unlocking shaft 30 to rotate through the transmission gear set.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive module 40 can be pre-assembled and manufactured in batches. When installing the smart door lock on site, the gearbox 42 only needs to be fixed to the front body 10 or the rear body 20, and the transmission gear set and drive motor 41 can be installed together to the front body 10 or the rear body 20, so as to realize the installation of the entire drive module 40 together. This avoids the need to install the motor and multiple gears one by one when installing the smart door lock, making the installation more convenient, saving the installation time of workers, and improving the user's installation experience.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, reference may be made to Figure 4 The motor can be located outside the gearbox 42, with the output shaft of the drive motor 41 extending into the gearbox 42 and linked with the transmission gear set. Of course, in other embodiments, the drive motor 41 can also be located inside the gearbox 42.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the front body 10 is provided with a lock cylinder 11, which is fixed to one axial end of the unlocking shaft 30. The lock cylinder 11 is used to insert a key to complete unlocking. The rear body 20 is provided with a knob 22, which includes a knob head 221 and a sleeve 222. The knob head 221 is located outside the rear body 20, and the sleeve 222 extends into the rear body 20 and is sleeved on the other axial end of the unlocking shaft 30. The user can rotate the knob 22 to drive the unlocking shaft 30 to rotate. Specifically, when the user rotates the knob head 221, it can drive the sleeve 222 to rotate, and the sleeve 222 can drive the unlocking shaft 30 to rotate synchronously. The cross-section of the unlocking shaft 30 can be set to a non-circular structure so as to achieve synchronous rotation with the sleeve 222. The unlocking shaft 30 is preferably a square shaft.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, reference may be made to Figure 4 The drive module 40 is located on the rear main body 20. The gearbox 42 has a clearance hole 421 for the sleeve 222 to pass through. The transmission gear set includes a connecting gear 431. The sleeve 222 passes through the connecting gear 431, and the sleeve 222 and the connecting gear 431 can rotate synchronously. The cross-section of the sleeve 222 can also be set to a non-circular structure, and the hole in the connecting gear 431 for the sleeve 222 to pass through is also a non-circular structure, so as to achieve synchronous rotation with the connecting gear 431.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, to make the structure of the drive module 40 and the rear main body 20 more compact, the axial direction of the output shaft of the drive motor 41 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting gear 431. In this embodiment, the transmission gear set also includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear (neither shown in the figure), wherein the first bevel gear is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 41, the axial direction of the second bevel gear is parallel to the axial direction of the connecting gear 431, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, reference may be made to Figure 8 The rear body 20 has a circular groove on the side opposite to the front body 10, allowing the knob head 221 to rotate within it. Multiple positioning grooves 21 are provided within the circular groove, and these positioning grooves 21 are axially distributed around the unlocking shaft 30. (This can be reassembled.) Figure 5 and Figure 6 The knob head 221 has a positioning element 23 on the side facing the front body 10. The positioning element 23 includes an elastic element 231 and a positioning bead 232. The elastic element 231 is preferably a spring, and the elastic element 231 drives the positioning bead 232 to abut against the positioning groove 21. In this embodiment, the number of positioning grooves 21 is preferably four, and the positioning elements 23 are preferably two sets. The knob head 22 can complete one positioning every 90° rotation.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, reference may be made to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The front body 10 is equipped with a camera 12, a first speaker 13, a microphone 14, a doorbell 15, and a first circuit board 16.
