[0034] This utility model relates to an integrated electronic lock protector for smart locks. During assembly, the anti-drilling cover 3, chip connector 4, and LED beads 212 are installed inside the insulating housing 2. The circular plate-shaped connector 71 of the lock head linkage flat iron 7 is first installed into the flat iron nut 8. The U-shaped opening groove 711 of the circular plate-shaped connector 71 is aligned with the pin hole 51. A tool is used to press the cylindrical pin 52 into the pin hole 51 for positioning. Then, the flat iron nut 8 is screwed into place on the threaded part at the rear end of the lock head rotating core 5 using knurling. After releasing the tool, the cylindrical pin 52 pops out of the pin hole 51 under the action of the spring B53. The flange ring on the cylindrical pin 52 is positioned on both sides of the U-shaped opening groove 711 of the circular plate-shaped connector 71 and passes through the U-shaped opening groove 711 before being located on the flat iron nut 51. The flat iron nut is rotated and loosened in the corresponding gear-shaped groove at the bottom of the cap 8; then the hoist lock head 6 is installed, and the assembled hoist lock head 6 is installed on the back side of the insulating inner shell 22. Then the panel 11 of the outer shell 1 is placed on the front side of the lock panel 11, and the rear shell 12 is placed on the back side of the lock panel 11. The lower connecting post 123 of the panel 11 and the rear shell 12 are fastened to the slot 112 and connected by screws. The gap between the panel 11 and the rear shell 12 of the outer shell 1 is locked on the lock panel 11 to fix the lock protector on the lock panel 11. The outer shell 1 is connected to the common negative terminal, i.e., the ground terminal, of the lock electronic main board through a wire; the chip connector 4 is connected to the CPU detection port of the lock electronic main board through a data line; the LED bead 212 is connected to the lock power cord.
[0035] When in use, after the electronic key is inserted into the anti-drill cover 3, the positive plate of the electronic key contacts the spring 33 and then conducts through the chip connector 4. The data line of the chip connector 4 and the detection port of the lock's electronic mainboard CPU form a positive data signal channel, which can detect the status of the electronic key in real time. When the lock mainboard detects that the electronic key is a valid key, the lock's electronic mainboard will release a high-level pulse signal to enable the electronic lock to unlock normally, and the key teeth will enter the lock cylinder 5 to unlock normally. Conversely, if a canceled key or a mechanical key is detected, the lock's electronic mainboard CPU will issue an alarm signal, the LED bead 212 will flash, and the lock will refuse to unlock.
[0036] The specific structure of the lock cylinder and gourd lock head of this utility model is the lock cylinder and lock head of existing mechanical locks, so it is not described in detail.
[0037] The embodiments selected herein for the purpose of disclosing the utility model are currently considered suitable; however, it should be understood that the present invention is intended to include all variations and modifications of the embodiments that fall within the scope of the present concept and utility model.
