Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent lock with an emergency charging function. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart homes, smart locks commonly use lithium batteries or disposable alkaline batteries as their main power source. However, in existing smart locks, once the battery is depleted after prolonged use, the lock immediately loses all functionality, and users cannot unlock it electronically using fingerprints, passwords, or card swipes. This poses a significant security risk, requiring users to replace the batteries promptly. To address this drawback, some smart locks are equipped with external charging ports (such as USB temporary power), but this requires users to carry a power bank or data cable, resulting in low practicality. Replaceable battery compartment structures have emerged on the market, allowing users to quickly replace the battery by pulling out the compartment. However, the battery compartment's mechanical structure is complex, frequent insertion and removal can lead to poor contact, and users need to prepare the same type of battery in advance. Based on the above-mentioned drawbacks of existing smart locks, this application proposes a smart lock with an emergency charging function. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a smart lock with emergency charging function and higher safety performance.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A smart lock with emergency charging function, comprising a main panel and a mounting panel. The two ends of the main panel extend downward toward the mounting surface to form two support panels. A handle area is formed between the middle of the outer surface of the main panel and the mounting panel. An assembly area is provided in the middle of the assembly area, and the two ends of the assembly area extend into the support panels. A circuit board is provided in the mounting panel, which is configured with a first power input terminal, a second power input terminal, and a power management module. The first power input terminal is electrically connected to a main battery, which provides main power to the circuit board. The second power input terminal is electrically connected to a storage battery, which is mounted at the first end of the assembly area. One end of the storage battery is electrically connected to the second power input terminal, and the other end is provided with a power output line. A control switch is provided on the power output line, and the tail end is electrically connected to the circuit board.
[0005] The present invention is further configured such that the control switch is located within the handle area and on the side wall of the handle area.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the assembly area has a protruding cover at one end corresponding to the assembly of the storage battery, and the cover and the mounting panel form an assembly groove for assembling the storage battery.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the main panel includes a panel base and a cover plate, and multiple sets of connecting columns are provided in the assembly area of the panel base. The connecting columns are integrally formed with the panel base, and the cover plate is provided with mounting columns corresponding to the positions of the connecting columns.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a battery structure, when the main battery power is exhausted, the battery can be activated to power the circuit board, avoiding the drawback of the lock being unable to open after a sudden power outage. The battery is integrated inside the lock, and the user only needs to manually trigger the emergency power supply through the control switch on the side wall of the handle area, without relying on external power banks, data cables or spare batteries. This solves the drawback of existing technologies that rely on external devices for emergency charging or require users to pre-install batteries, and is especially suitable for sudden power outage scenarios. It also has the advantages of wide applicability and meeting different user needs. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0014] A smart lock with emergency charging function includes a main panel 1 and a mounting panel 2. The two ends of the main panel 1 extend downward toward the mounting surface to form two support panels 3. A handle area 4 is formed between the middle of the outer surface of the main panel 1 and the mounting panel 2. An assembly area 5 is provided inside the mounting panel 2. The two ends of the assembly area 5 extend into the support panels 3. A circuit board 6 is provided in the middle of the assembly area 5. It is equipped with a first power input terminal, a second power input terminal and a power management module. The first power input terminal is electrically connected to a main battery, which provides main power to the circuit board 6. The second power input terminal is electrically connected to a storage battery 8. The storage battery 8 is mounted at the first end of the assembly area 5, with one end electrically connected to the second power input terminal and the other end provided with a power output line. A control switch 9 is provided on the power output line and the tail end is electrically connected to the circuit board 6.
[0015] The control switch 9 is located within the handle area 4 and on the side wall of the handle area 4. The assembly area 5 has a protruding cover 10 at one end corresponding to the assembly of the battery 8, forming an assembly groove between the cover 10 and the mounting panel 2 for assembling the battery 8. The main panel 1 includes a panel base and a cover plate 13. Multiple sets of connecting posts 11 are provided within the assembly area 5 of the panel base. The connecting posts 11 are integrally formed with the panel base. The cover plate 13 has mounting posts 12 corresponding to the positions of the connecting posts 11.
[0016] Working principle: Under normal power supply conditions, the main circuit board 6 is powered by the main battery (the main battery 6 is located outside the lock and is an independent structure not shown in the attached diagram). Simultaneously, the main circuit board 6 charges the storage battery 8 through the second power input terminal. When the main battery loses power and cannot supply power to the main circuit board 6, the power output line is closed by operating the control switch 9, supplying power to the main circuit board 6. This allows for rapid power supply in emergencies, ensuring the lock maintains normal function.
[0017] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
