Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of emergency unlocking of fully automatic door locks, specifically to an electronic emergency unlocking structure for fully automatic door locks. Background Technology

[0002] Smart locks are improved versions of traditional mechanical locks, offering greater intelligence and convenience in terms of user security, identification, and management. Smart locks are the locking mechanism in access control systems. Unlike traditional mechanical locks, smart locks are composite locks combining security, convenience, and advanced technology. One existing type of fully automatic lock is... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first circuit board, which is connected to a latch drive mechanism via a first line. The latch drive mechanism cooperates with the latch drive. The first circuit board is also connected to a fingerprint recognition touchpad, a password input key, and a card recognition area. In use, users can enter by fingerprint, password, or card swipe; some models also have facial recognition and remote unlocking functions.

[0003] The aforementioned fully automatic door lock, after the user successfully triggers the first circuit board, will have the bolt drive mechanism directly open the door. This provides convenience, allowing users to open the door without inserting a key, significantly reducing opening time. However, when none of the above methods work, a traditional spare key is required, i.e., mechanical unlocking. However, spare keys are generally not needed. While users remember the location of the spare key during initial installation, they often forget its location over time, rendering the lock unusable and severely impacting the user experience.

[0004] new content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fully automatic electronic emergency unlocking structure for door locks. This emergency unlocking structure avoids the need for a spare key, thus solving the problem of users being unable to open the door lock in an emergency due to the inability to find a spare key.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic door lock electronic emergency unlocking structure, including a first circuit board, which is connected to a bolt drive mechanism via a first line. The bolt drive mechanism cooperates with the bolt drive mechanism. The first circuit board is also connected to a fingerprint recognition touch panel, a password input key, and a card recognition area. A second circuit board is provided on one side of the first circuit board. The second circuit board is electrically connected to a battery box. A clutch drive mechanism is connected to one side of the second circuit board via a second line. The clutch drive mechanism cooperates with the bolt. The bolt is also connected to a manual handle on the outside of the door lock.

[0007] The second circuit board is connected to a mobile app via Bluetooth.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the first circuit board and the second circuit board are fixed together in the lock housing of the automatic door lock.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a removable battery is inserted into one side of the automatic door lock housing, and the first circuit board and the second circuit board are electrically connected to the battery through wiring.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the outer side of the lock case is provided with a manual handle, a password input area, a card swiping area and a fingerprint recognition area from top to bottom.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom of the lock case is provided with a spare key insertion hole.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the lock case is provided with a battery insertion hole.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the spare key insertion hole is provided with a first cover.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, a second cover is provided on the outside of the battery insertion hole.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the outer surface of the lock case is provided with a touchable doorbell mark, which is electrically connected to the first circuit board inside.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this new invention provides a fully automatic electronic emergency unlocking structure for door locks, which has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This new invention features a second circuit board on one side of the first circuit board, which is electrically connected to the battery box. A clutch drive mechanism is connected to one side of the second circuit board via a second line. The clutch drive mechanism engages with the latch, which is also connected to the manual handle on the outside of the door lock. The second circuit board connects to a mobile app via Bluetooth. In use, if the first circuit board malfunctions and the lock cannot be opened normally, and the spare key is missing, the user can open the mobile app or mini-program and connect to the second circuit board via Bluetooth. The user can then control the clutch drive mechanism from the phone's interface. The clutch drive mechanism drives the clutch to engage with the manual handle linkage component, allowing the user to open the door lock from the outside using the manual handle. This effectively solves the problem of the door lock being unable to open normally due to a lost spare key. The battery box provides independent power to the second circuit board.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a fully automatic door lock electronic emergency unlocking structure includes a first circuit board 1. The first circuit board 1 is connected to a bolt drive mechanism 2 via a first line 11. The bolt drive mechanism 2 drives the bolt 21. The first circuit board 1 is also connected to a fingerprint recognition touchpad, a password input key, and a card recognition area (not visible). A second circuit board 3 is located on one side of the first circuit board 1. The second circuit board 3 is electrically connected to a battery box (not visible, capable of holding four dry batteries), meaning the second circuit board 3 is independently powered by the battery box. A clutch drive mechanism 4 is connected to one side of the second circuit board 3 via a second line 31. The clutch drive mechanism 4 engages with the bolt 21, which is also connected to a manual handle 5 on the outside of the door lock. The second circuit board 3 is connected to a mobile app via Bluetooth.

[0026] The first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 3 are fixed together in the lock housing (not shown) of the automatic door lock.

[0027] A removable battery (not shown) is inserted into one side of the automatic door lock housing. The first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 3 are electrically connected to the battery via wiring.

[0028] The outer side of the lock case has a manual handle, a password input area, a card swiping area, and a fingerprint recognition area, arranged from top to bottom.

[0029] A spare key insertion hole is provided at the bottom of the lock case.

[0030] The top of the lock case has a battery insertion hole.

[0031] The spare key insertion hole is covered with a first cap.

[0032] A second cover is provided on the outside of the battery insertion hole.

[0033] The outer surface of the lock case has a touchable doorbell logo, which is electrically connected to the first circuit board inside.

[0034] When the first circuit board 1 malfunctions and cannot be unlocked normally, and the spare key cannot be found, you can turn on your mobile phone 6, and then open the mobile phone App or mini program. Connect the mobile phone to the second circuit board 3 (which can be named after your door lock for easy searching) via Bluetooth. Then you can control the clutch drive mechanism 4 through the operation interface of the mobile phone 6. The clutch drive mechanism 4 drives the clutch to insert the manual handle 5 linkage component, and the user can open the door lock from the outside through the manual handle 5.

[0035] When in use, after successfully connecting to the second circuit board 3 via a mobile app or mini-program, emergency unlocking can be achieved using the Bluetooth operation block 61, the password operation block 62, or the fingerprint operation block 63, realizing multiple emergency unlocking methods.
