[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart door lock technology, and in particular to a novel smart door lock. Background Technology
[0002] Smart locks are locks that achieve intelligent management through electronic technology, biometric technology, and Internet of Things technology. They differ from traditional mechanical locks and have functions such as flexible unlocking methods, remote control, and real-time monitoring. They are widely used in homes, hotels, banks, and other scenarios.
[0003] In related technologies, smart locks consist of an outer lock body and an inner lock body. The outer lock body is located outdoors, and the inner lock body is located indoors. An electronic module is installed on the outer lock body, allowing the user to unlock or lock the smart lock through interaction with the electronic module. During the use of a smart lock, the electronic module is prone to power outages or damage. In such cases, the electronic module needs to be removed from the smart lock and replaced with a new one. However, the removal and installation of the electronic module is very inconvenient, severely impacting the customer's user experience. Utility Model Content

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0038] This utility model discloses a novel smart door lock. Example 1
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the new smart door lock includes an outer lock body 10 and an inner lock body (not shown). The outer lock body 10 and the inner lock body are detachably connected. The outer lock body 10 is installed on the outside of the door, and the inner lock body is installed on the inside of the door. The outer lock body 10 includes an outer lock shell 11, an electronic module 12, and a snap-fit component 13. The outer lock shell 11 and the electronic module 12 are snapped together by the snap-fit component 13. The snap-fit component 13 is connected to the first end of the pull rope 20, and the second end of the pull rope 20 passes through the inner lock body. The outer lock shell 11 is provided with a limiting groove 111 that cooperates with the electronic module 12.
[0040] The electronic module 12 includes a housing 121 and a circuit board (not shown) disposed inside the housing 121. The housing 121 includes an upper shell 1211 and a lower shell 1212, which are fixedly connected.
[0041] The latching member 13 is an elastic body. The pull rope 20 is used so that when the second end is subjected to tension, the latching member 13 is pulled by the first end, causing the latching member 13 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby making the outer lock shell 11 no longer latched to the electronic module 12, so as to allow the user to take out the electronic module 12.
[0042] As can be seen, the aforementioned new smart door lock allows for easy disassembly and assembly of the electronic module. When it is necessary to disassemble the electronic module, the user can pull the second end of the pull cord, which in turn pulls the first end of the pull cord to activate the locking mechanism. This causes the locking mechanism to elastically deform, thus disengaging the outer lock shell from the electronic module, allowing the user to easily remove the electronic module.
[0043] The latching member 13 is fixedly installed on the outer lock shell 11, and the lower shell 1212 has a first latching groove 12121 that mates with the latching member 13. The pull rope 20 is used to pull the latching member 13 through the first end when the second end is subjected to tension, so that the latching member 13 is dislodged from the first latching groove 12121 by the elastic deformation of the latching member 13, so as to help the user take out the electronic module 12.
[0044] By fixing the snap-fit connector 13 to the outer lock housing 11, and providing a first snap-fit groove 12121 in the lower housing 1212 to engage with the snap-fit connector 13, the electronic module 12 can be snapped together with the outer lock housing 11 via the lower housing 1212. After the snap-fit connector 13 undergoes elastic deformation, the connection between the lower housing 1212 and the snap-fit connector 13 can be released, thereby facilitating the user to remove the electronic module 12.
[0045] The latching component 13 includes a first mounting portion 131, a first fixing portion 132, and a first engaging portion 133. The latching component 13 is mounted to the outer lock housing 11 via the first mounting portion 131, fixedly connected to the first end of the pull rope 20 via the first fixing portion 132, and connected to the first slot 12121 via the first engaging portion 133. Furthermore, the first fixing portion 132 is located between the first mounting portion 131 and the first engaging portion 133. The mutual cooperation of the first mounting portion 131, the first fixing portion 132, and the first engaging portion 133 makes the structure of the latching component 13 more rational.
[0046] The limiting groove 111 has a first hollow structure 1111 at its bottom to accommodate the mounting clip 13. A first mounting part 131 is located on the lower side of the first hollow structure 1111, while a first fixing part 132 and a first engaging part 133 are located on the upper side of the first hollow structure 1111. By placing the first mounting part 131 on the lower side of the first hollow structure 1111 and the first fixing part 132 and the first engaging part 133 on the upper side of the first hollow structure 1111, the space occupied by the clip 13 in the limiting groove 111 can be reduced, thus avoiding interference between the clip 13 and the electronic module 12.
[0047] The bottom of the limiting groove 111 is provided with a first ejector spring 1112 that works with the electronic module 12. The first ejector spring 1112 is respectively located on both sides of the first hollow structure 1111.
[0048] When the outer lock housing 11 and the electronic module 12 are engaged together by the snap-fit connector 13, the lower housing 1212 applies pressure to the first ejection spring 1112, causing the first ejection spring 1112 to be in a compressed state. When the outer lock housing 11 and the electronic module 12 are no longer engaged together, the first ejection spring 1112 can apply elastic force to the electronic module 12, causing the electronic module 12 to be ejected from the limiting groove 111, making it more convenient for the user to remove the electronic module 12.
[0049] The pull rope 20 includes a front locking section and a rear locking section, which are detachably connected. The first end is located in the front locking section, and the second end is located in the rear locking section. By including the front locking section and the rear locking section, the pull rope 20 can be easily maintained.
[0050] The bottom of the limiting groove 111 is provided with a third hollow structure 114 to cooperate with the pull rope 20. By setting the third hollow structure 114, the layout of the pull rope 20 is made more reasonable. The pull rope 20 can extend into the inner lock body through the third hollow structure 114. Example 2
[0051] like Figures 7 to 11As shown, the new smart door lock includes an outer lock body 10 and an inner lock body (not shown). The outer lock body 10 and the inner lock body are detachably connected. The outer lock body 10 is installed on the outside of the door, and the inner lock body is installed on the inside of the door. The outer lock body 10 includes an outer lock shell 11, an electronic module 12, and a snap-fit component 13. The outer lock shell 11 and the electronic module 12 are snapped together by the snap-fit component 13. The snap-fit component 13 is connected to the first end of the pull rope 20, and the second end of the pull rope 20 passes through the inner lock body. The outer lock shell 11 is provided with a limiting groove 111 that cooperates with the electronic module 12.
[0052] The electronic module 12 includes a housing 121 and a circuit board (not shown) disposed inside the housing 121. The housing 121 includes an upper shell 1211 and a lower shell 1212, which are fixedly connected.
[0053] The latching member 13 is an elastic body. The pull rope 20 is used so that when the second end is subjected to tension, the latching member 13 is pulled by the first end, causing the latching member 13 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby making the outer lock shell 11 no longer latched to the electronic module 12, so as to allow the user to take out the electronic module 12.
[0054] As can be seen, the aforementioned new smart door lock allows for easy disassembly and assembly of the electronic module. When it is necessary to disassemble the electronic module, the user can pull the second end of the pull cord, which in turn pulls the first end of the pull cord to activate the locking mechanism. This causes the locking mechanism to elastically deform, thus disengaging the outer lock shell from the electronic module, allowing the user to easily remove the electronic module.
[0055] The latching member 13 is fixedly installed on the upper shell 1211, the lower shell 1212 has a second hollow structure 12122 that mates with the latching member 13, and the outer lock shell 11 has a second slot 112 that mates with the latching member 13. The pull rope 20 is used so that when the second end is subjected to tension, the latching member 13 is pulled through the first end, and the elastic deformation of the latching member 13 causes it to disengage from the second slot 112, so as to facilitate the user in removing the electronic module 12.
[0056] By fixing the snap-fit connector 13 to the upper shell 1211, and providing a second hollow structure 12122 on the lower shell 1212 to engage the snap-fit connector 13, and providing a second slot 112 on the outer lock shell 11 to engage the snap-fit connector 13, the electronic module 12 can be snapped together with the outer lock shell 11 via the upper shell 1211. After the snap-fit connector 13 undergoes elastic deformation, the connection between the upper shell 1211 and the outer lock shell 11 can be released, thereby facilitating the user to remove the electronic module 12.
[0057] The snap-fit component 13 includes a second mounting portion 134, a second fixing portion 135, and a second engaging portion 136. The snap-fit component 13 is mounted on the upper shell 1211 via the second mounting portion 134, fixedly connected to the first end of the pull rope 20 via the second fixing portion 135, and connected to the second slot 112 via the second engaging portion 136. Furthermore, the second fixing portion 135 is located between the second mounting portion 134 and the second engaging portion 136. The mutual cooperation of the second mounting portion 134, the second fixing portion 135, and the second engaging portion 136 makes the structure of the snap-fit component 13 more rational.
[0058] The bottom of the limiting groove 111 is provided with a second ejection spring 113 that cooperates with the electronic module 12. The second ejection spring 113 is respectively located on both sides of the second slot 112.
[0059] When the outer lock housing 11 and the electronic module 12 are engaged together by the snap-fit connector 13, the lower housing 1212 applies pressure to the second ejection spring 113, causing the second ejection spring 113 to be in a compressed state. When the outer lock housing 11 and the electronic module 12 are no longer engaged together, the second ejection spring 113 can apply elastic force to the electronic module 12, causing the electronic module 12 to be ejected from the limiting groove 111, making it more convenient for the user to remove the electronic module 12.
[0060] The pull cord 20 includes a front locking section and a rear locking section, which are detachably connected. The first end is located on the front locking section, and the second end is located on the rear locking section. Since the snap-fit component 13 is fixedly installed on the upper shell 1211 and is connected to the first end of the pull cord 20, when the user needs to remove the electronic module 12, the front locking section and the rear locking section can be disconnected first; when the user needs to install the electronic module 12, the front locking section and the rear locking section can be fixedly connected together.
[0061] The bottom of the limiting groove 111 is provided with a third hollow structure 114 to cooperate with the pull rope 20. By setting the third hollow structure 114, the layout of the pull rope 20 is made more reasonable. The pull rope 20 can extend into the inner lock body through the third hollow structure 114.
[0062] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
